When BTPS is turned ON, the system performs BTPS compensation automatically; when BTPS
is turned OFF, the BTPS compensation is disabled.
When measuring the CO
2
content inside the patient’s lung, turn ON BTPS. Normally, the lung
temperature of the patient is 37℃ and the water vapor is sufficient or regarded as saturated. But
the temperature and water vapor content of the sampling line are different from the patient’s
exhalation. Thus, when the patient’s exhalation passes the sampling line, the accuracy of the CO
2
concentration measured by the sensor will be adversely affected. To ensure an accurate
measurement, you should turn ON the BTPS. In this mode, the system adjusts the calculation
coefficient automatically, so that the measured value is just the actual CO
2
content in the patient’s
lung.
When measuring the CO
2
content of the environment or a certain vessel, turn OFF BTPS. In the
standard ambient pressure and dry gas, the accuracy of the sensor measurement is not affected.
NOTE
z When measuring a moist gas of saturated water vapor at the body temperature
and the ambient pressure, turn ON BTPS; when measuring a dry gas at the
ambient temperature and pressure, turn OFF BTPS.
ZERO CAL This option allows you to zero manually so as to eliminate
the adverse affect of baseline drift in the process of
measurement.
