Set Flow Rate - The rate of flow commanded by the host system. The actual flow rate must be
within +15, -20% of this setting.
Short Watertrap Receiver - A Welch Allyn OEM Technologies accessory that mechanically
interfaces the Welch Allyn OEM Technologies watertrap with the host system. The
short receiver positions into the host system leaving a large part of the watertrap
exposed externally. (See Long Watertrap Receiver.)
Sidestream Sampling - CO
2
analysis which is accomplished within a device. The patient’s
expired gas is aspirated from the airway and drawn to the device through a sample
line.
Simple Command - A host communication to the Module to request data or a status change.
Data is not sent with these commands.
Simple Response - The Module communication to the host in reply to a command.
Soft Fault - Condition that interrupts Module operation, including transmission of CO
2
waveform
and breath data packets, until the fault is cleared.
Software Reset - A specific command that clears the Module and returns it to its original mode
and EEPROM default configuration settings.
SS - Sidestream.
SS Components - Parts that comprise an entire sidestream system such as the pump, tubing,
fittings and watertrap.
SS System - An end-to-end method to measure the patients expired gas by aspirating a gas
sample from the airway and drawing it through a sample line to a measurement
device.
Standby Mode - Module mode that disables the source, pump and data packets. It is typically
used when a low power, standby state, is desired.
Status Response - Data packets from the Module that communicate sensor or Module status.
The status response also serves as an acknowledgemnet for mode commands.
Steady State Measurement - A continuous measurement of CO
2
taken without regard to patient
respiratory rate. It is normally used during calibration, or when monitoring the
presence of background CO
2
. Usually the breath data update is disabled during
steady state measurements.
System Fault - An error associated specifically with the Main Board.
Thermistor - A resistor that has a large nonlinear temperature coefficient of resistance. Typically
used for temperature measurement feedback.
