If the xMAC value rises, the xMAC monitoring (1) is activated and the lower alarm
limit for the xMAC level is automatically adapted to the anesthetic gas
concentration. The lower alarm limit (2) can reach a maximum value of 1.0.
The lower alarm limit can be recalculated by touching the Autoset button (3). This
allows the alarm limit for the xMAC low alarm to be adjusted in special anesthesia
situations and to exceed the value of 1.0 if necessary.
If the expiratory xMAC value falls below the alarm limit (4 or 7), the device issues
the xMAC low alarm with low priority. If the alarm is not reset with the ALARM
RESET button within 60 seconds, the priority will be increased to medium priority.

Deactivating the automatic xMAC monitoring
If the xMAC low alarm (4 or 7) is reset with the ALARM RESET button (5 or 8),
monitoring is deactivated. This prevents renewed alarms as a result of the
anesthetic gas concentration continuing to fall at the end of anesthesia (8). If the
anesthesia is continued (5), the monitoring will be automatically reactivated as soon
as the inspiratory xMAC value rises above the expiratory xMAC value (6).
In CBM mode, the lower alarm limit is adjusted so that no alarm is issued during this
time. Similarly, the value is not limited to 1.0 during this time.
