M3015A on MP20 cannot see awRR

Hello,

First time with the Philips monitor and we bought the MP20 with MMS and M3015a module for EtCO2. Everything is working fine except the awRR, it is ON but I cannot see anything on the screen. The CO2 measurement is OK and the number indication of the CO2 is OK.

It says that I need to do CO2 calibration but it works fine without it.

Any suggestions how to see the awRR?

Thanks.

I would guess that the Co2 wave is appearing in place of the Resp Wave on your display, and that the C02 measurement is taking up the numeric slot which the RR numeric would occupy if there was no CO2.

What you need to do is find an empty numeric cell on the screen, click on it - scroll all the way to the bottom and click Change Numeric.

From there you can either select awRR or even Any Resp, and that should display the awRR when the Co2 module is active.

Also if the module is asking for a calibration then it should be calibrated by a qualified biomedical technician as per the service manual. You may get a Co2 reading but the accuracy of the reading may be suspect if the unit is out of calibration.
