Owner's Manual

In Suunto Fused RGBM the tissue half-times are derived from Wienke’s FullRGBM
where human body is modeled by fifteen different tissue groups. FullRGBM can utilize
these additional tissues and model the on-gassing and off-gassing more accurately.
The amounts of nitrogen and helium on-gassing and off-gassing in the tissues are
calculated independently from each other.
The advantage of Suunto Fused RGBM is additional safety through its ability to adapt
to a wide variety of situations. For recreational divers it may offer slightly longer no-
deco times, depending on the chosen personal setting. For open-circuit technical
divers it allows use of gas mixes with helium - on deeper and longer dives helium
based gas mixes provide shorter ascent times. And finally, for rebreather divers the
Suunto Fused RGBM algorithm gives the perfect tool to be used as a non-monitoring,
set point dive computer.
10.2.1. Diver safety
Because any decompression model is purely theoretical and does not monitor the
actual body of a diver, no decompression model can guarantee the absence of DCS.
Experimentally it has been shown that the body adapts to decompression to some
degree when diving is constant and frequent. Two personal adjustment settings (P-1
and P-2) are available for divers who dive constantly and are ready to accept greater
personal risk.
