CAPNOSTAT Precise and Reliable CO2 Sensor
The CAPNOSTAT by General Electric Healthcare is a mainstream
CO2 sensor designed to provide precise and reliable measurements of carbon dioxide levels in patients. Utilizing non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology, this sensor offers exceptional performance in terms of speed and accuracy, making it an essential tool for demanding medical environments.
The CAPNOSTAT uses non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) dual-wavelength technology with no moving parts, ensuring stable and reliable measurements. This technology enables the detection of CO2 levels with high precision, even under challenging conditions. The sensor can display a capnogram in less than 15 seconds at an ambient temperature of 25°C, with full specifications available within 2 minutes.
The sensor offers a CO2 measurement range of 0 to 150 mmHg, with a resolution of 0.1 mmHg for values from 0 to 69 mmHg and 0.25 mmHg for values from 70 to 150 mmHg. The measurement accuracy is also impressive, with a margin of error of ±2 mmHg for values from 0 to 40 mmHg, ±5% of the reading for values from 41 to 70 mmHg, ±8% of the reading for values from 71 to 100 mmHg, and ±10% of the reading for values from 101 to 150 mmHg.
The CAPNOSTAT is equipped with numerous advanced features to meet the needs of healthcare professionals. It can measure respiratory rate with a range of 1 to 150 breaths per minute (BPM) and an accuracy of ±1 BPM. The sensor is also capable of compensating for variations in barometric pressure and the effects of gases such as oxygen, nitrous oxide, helium, and anesthetic agents, thanks to compensations provided by the host.
The CAPNOSTAT is designed to be easy to use and maintain. It requires no routine user calibration, simplifying daily use. The sensor is compatible with a variety of airway adapters, with a dead space of less than 6 cc for adult/pediatric adapters and less than 1 cc for infant/neonatal adapters. The adapters meet the ISO 5356-1 standard, ensuring optimal compatibility.
The CAPNOSTAT is designed to withstand the challenging conditions of medical environments. It complies with IEC TR 60721-4-7 Class 7M3, IEC 60068-2-64 for random vibrations, IEC 60068-2-27 for shock, and IEC 60068-2-31 for free fall. The sensor can also withstand 6-foot drops while operating, and the cable can withstand a pull of 30 lbs. The cable can also withstand 10,000 bend cycles, ensuring exceptional durability.
The CAPNOSTAT by General Electric Healthcare is a precise and reliable mainstream CO2 sensor, ideal for demanding medical environments. With its advanced technology, advanced features, and ease of use, it provides fast and accurate measurements of carbon dioxide levels, essential for monitoring patients in intensive care, operating rooms, and anesthesia.
