GLOSSARY OF TERMS
BIT: Built in Tests.
BTPS: Body Temperature, Pressure and Saturation
Compensation.
Where Body Temperature is assumed 37°C with
vapor pressure 47mmHg
The Calculations are made according to:
P
CO2
= F
CO2
x (Pb - 47)
Where:
F
CO2
is the Fractional concentration of CO
2
in
Dry gas, F
CO2
= % CO
2
/100
Pb = the ambient pressure
P
CO2
= the partial pressure of CO
2
at BTPS
EPROM: Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory.
ESD: Electrostatic Discharge.
EtCO
2
: End Tidal Carbon Dioxide: amount of CO
2
present
at the end of the exhalation.
FiCO
2
: Fractional Inspired Carbon Dioxide: amount of
CO
2
present during inhalation.
FRS: FilterLine Recognition Safeguard.
LCD: Liquid Crystal Display.
HMI: Human Machine Interface.
Respiration Rate: Number of respiratory cycles (inhalation and
exhalation) per minute.
7-segments LED: Graphic display of seven segments of light emitter
diodes.
Solenoid: 2-way electro-pneumatic valve controlling the
directional flow either from the patient or from the
CO
2
Scrubber (during Autozero).
Scrubber: Lithium compound CO
2
absorber.
