Other, other text: the returned emma was evaluated.During accuracy testing, the device provided a measurement of 44mmhg co2 when a 4.981% co2 gas mixture was applied with atmospheric pressure of 756mmhg.The reading was outside the accuracy specification of 35mmhg to 40mmhg.However, after performing a zeroing of the emma, the device was retested and subsequently measured 39mhg co2 which is within specification.The measurement issue was a result of the zeroing issue not being performed.
