Capnography Specifications

Respiration Range: 0 to 99 respirations/minute
Respiration Accuracy^{1, 2}:
3 to 50 respirations/min ± 2
51 to 60 respirations/min ± 3

Test method summary: To determine the rated respiration rate, calibrated CO₂ gas tanks are used as the respiration rate is changed from 3 to 60 BrPM.

EtCO₂/CO₂ Range: 0 to 99 mmHg (0 to 13.2 kPa)
EtCO₂/CO₂ Accuracy:
±0.2 kPa / ±2 mmHg, +8% of reading³
525 – 795 mmHg (700 – 1060 hPA)
(EtCO₂/CO₂ reading reaches its steady state accuracy within 10 minutes after power up. From maximum storage temperature, monitor reaches steady state accuracy 19 minutes after power up.)

Calculated Update Frequency: Once every breath (“NO BREATH” alarm after 30 seconds)
Sampling Rate: 4 Hz (4 times per second)
Total System Response Time: <7 seconds (includes delay time and rise time)
Drift of Measurement: Within CO₂ accuracy specifications for 6 hours of continuous monitoring
Measurement: Automatic barometric pressure compensation and CO₂ temperature compensation

¹ There is no known adverse effect on performance due to cyclical pressure up to 10 kPa.
² There is no degradation in EtCO₂ measurement accuracy as a function of BrPM and inspiratory/expiratory (I/E) time ratio.
³ Presented concentration of CO₂ and EtCO₂ can be false, indicating a high presence of nitrous oxide and other interfering gases.

The table below shows the CO₂ and EtCO₂ concentration corrections. Only use agents listed in the table below.
