Altitude and barometric pressure affect tcGas values. The monitor derives barometric pressure from its 
altitude setting. If you want to set the true barometric pressure you must do this before starting a 
calibration - changes after calibration do not influence tcGas values. The monitor remembers this 
pressure setting until you enter a new one.

In the 

menu, select 

.

Enter the current barometric pressure reading indicated by your barometer.

Select the 

 popup key.

The tcGas transducer is thin and flexible. You must treat it with care. Avoid kinking, bending or 
pulling the cable.

• if the transducer is new

• if you are using the transducer with a new patient

• if the membranes are damaged (scratched or wrinkled)

• after five days of continued use or 28 days of storage.
