Chapter 13: GAS Monitoring (Mainstream)
■
AGENT
In IRMA AX+ mode, anesthesia agent is identified automatically by the system and
"AUTO" appears in the menu and couldn't be changed.
NOTE:
In IRMA AX+, if the concentration of anesthesia agent doesn't exceed agent
detection threshold, "AA?" will be displayed instead of the name of anesthesia agent
in Multi-gas parameters window.
NOTE:
In IRMA AX+, if there are two anesthesia agent mixtures in patient airway and
their concentration exceeds agent detection thresholds, the message "AGENT
MIXTURE" is displayed on the screen.
■
WORK MODE
Available options for WORK MODE are "standby" and "measure".
The default is "measure" mode. When gas monitoring is required, select
"standby" mode disables monitoring to decrease the power consumption and extend the
life cycles of IR source and IRMA sensor.
NOTE:
When not using gas monitoring functions, it is suggested to disconnect the sensor.
NOTE:
If the monitor doesn't detect any CO2 signal for 30 minutes, after connecting IRMA
sensor, the monitor automatically disables gas monitoring to decrease the power
consumption and extend the life cycles of IR source and sensor. The monitor will be
set in "standby" mode.
NOTE:
If the monitor doesn't detect adapter of IRMA sensor for 10 minutes, after
connecting IRMA sensor, the monitor automatically will be set in "standby" mode.
NOTE:
When the system is in standby mode, you can enable GAS monitoring in GAS
window by setting work mode to Measure.
