- Preparing to Measure Mainstream CO2
- 1 Attach the sensor connector to the CO2 connector on the MMS extension, or on the X2 (when the optional CO2 measurement is integrated).
- 2 Wait 2 minutes, allowing the sensor to reach its operating temperature and a stable thermal condition.

- Preparing to Measure Sidestream CO2
- 1 Plug the sensor cable into the monitor's CO2 input connector. Allow the sensor two minutes warm up time
- 2 Connect the cannula, airway adapter, or sample line as appropriate, to the sensor. It will click into place when seated correctly.

- WARNING
- 1 In Setup CO₂ menu, select Cal. Mode to switch on calibration mode.
- 2 Look at the calibration value displayed in the Setup CO₂ menu next to Start CAL1. Is it the same as the value on the calstick? If not, calibrate the transducer now.
- 3 Place the transducer on the low cell of the calstick (labeled 0.0 mmHg or "ZERO"). The reading on the screen should be zero within ±1 mmHg within one minute.
- 4 Place the transducer on the high cell of the calstick. The reading on the screen should be within ±1 mmHg of the value on the calstick within one minute.
- 5 If both readings are in range, you can leave calibration mode and begin monitoring. If either of the readings is out of range, calibrate the transducer.
- WARNING
- Calibrating the Transducer
- 1 Check that the windows on the calstick are clean and clear.
- 2 Place the transducer on one of the calstick cells and select Start CAL1.
- 3 Enter the calibration value printed on the calstick then press Confirm to start calibration.
- 4 When the message CO₂ CAL1 calibration done -- Start CAL2 calibration appears, put the transducer on the other cell and select Start CAL2 then press Confirm.
- 5 When you see the message CO₂ calibration completed - leave Cal. Mode, calibration is complete.

- Inspecting the Equipment and Accessories
- 1 Examine unit exteriors for cleanliness and general physical condition. Make sure that the housings are not cracked or broken, that everything is present, that there are no spilled liquids and that there are no signs of abuse.
- 2 Inspect all accessories (cables, transducers, sensors and so forth). If any show signs of damage, do not use.
- 3 Switch the monitor on and make sure the backlight is bright enough. Check that screen is at its full brightness. If the brightness is not adequate, contact your service personnel or your supplier.
- 4 If the MMS and MMS Extensions are mounted on the monitor, make sure that they are locked into place and do not slide out without releasing the locking mechanism.
- WARNING
- Inspecting the Cables and Cords
- 1 Examine all system cables, the power plug and cord for damage. Make sure that the prongs of the plug do not move in the casing. If damaged, replace it with an appropriate Philips power cord.
- 2 Inspect the Measurement Link cable and ensure that it makes good connection with the MMS and the FMS. Make sure that there are no breaks in the insulation.
- 3 Inspect the cable connecting the MMS to the monitor. Make sure the connectors are properly engaged.
- 4 Inspect the patient cables, leads and their strain reliefs for general condition. Make sure there are no breaks in the insulation. Make sure that the connectors are properly engaged at each end to prevent rotation or other strain.

8 Monitoring SpO2
166
Assessing a Suspicious SpO2 Reading
Traditionally, pulse rate from SpO
2
was compared with heart rate from ECG to confirm the validity of
the SpO
2
reading. With newer algorithms, such as FAST-SpO
2
, this is no longer a valid criteria because
the correct calculation of SpO
2
is not directly linked to the correct detection of each pulse.
When pulse rate is very low, or strong arrhythmia is present, the SpO
2
pulse rate may differ from the
heart rate calculated from ECG but this does not indicate an inaccurate SpO
2
value.
If you doubt the measured SpO
2
, use the signal quality indicator (if available) or the pleth wave and
perfusion indicator instead to assess the signal quality.
WARNING
With pulse oximetry, sensor movement, ambient light (especially strobe lights or flashing lights) or
electromagnetic interference can give unexpected intermittent readings when the sensor is not
attached. Especially bandage-type sensor designs are sensitive to minimal sensor movement that might
occur when the sensor is dangling.
Changing the Averaging Time
Depending on the monitor configuration, you may be able to change the averaging time for the SpO
2
values.
The averaging time represents the approximate time period used for the calculation. The exact
averaging algorithm depends on the SpO
2
technology (option) used and on the signal conditions. The
longer the averaging time, the longer the time needed until the SpO
2
value reflects the physiological
event. Fast averaging is useful for situations where an extremely fast measurement is required or few
artifacts are expected. Use slow averaging where you expect the number of artifacts to be relatively
high.
1 In the Setup SpO₂ menu, select Average.
2 Select the required averaging time from the list.
Understanding SpO2 Alarms
This refers to SpO
2
specific alarms. See the chapter on “Alarms” on page 47 for general alarm
information. SpO
2
offers high and low limit alarms, and a high priority desat alarm. You cannot set the
low alarm limit below the desat alarm limit.
