Changing the Temperature of the Inspired Gas
Depending on the type of ventilator environment (e.g. if you are using a Heat Moisture Exchanger)
you may want to change the temperature setting of the inspired gas:
1 In the Setup Spirometry menu, select Gas Compensation.
2 Select Inspired Temp to change the temperature of the inspired gas.
3 Select the appropriate temperature setting.
NOTE Changing the temperature setting unintentionally will result in approximately 3% reduced accuracy
per 10°C ( 18°F) temperature setting change.
