Note To disconnect, follow the steps in reverse order.
Airway module calibration should be performed once every two
months or when there is an indication of an error in the gas
measurements and waveforms. Use only the calibration gas and
regulator specified for the airway module. See "Calibrating the airway
module" in the "System configuration (Super User) and service"
section.
Use only GE Healthcare authorized calibration gas. Do
not use other calibration gases or the calibration will not
be successful. Dispose of calibration gas containers in
accordance with local environmental procedures.
Note During gas calibration, CO2 is always in % regardless of the
measurement unit selected.
Install this regulator on the gas calibration cylinder:
• 755534-HEL (Quick cal regulator)
• M1006864 (US only)
