Lateral flow CO₂ analyser – a reliable solution for respiratory monitoring
The NomoLine ISA CO₂ is an infrared gas analysis module developed by Masimo to provide accurate measurements of exhaled carbon dioxide (EtCO₂), meeting the most demanding clinical needs. Designed for use in a variety of medical settings, it is compatible with all patient types, including infants and children, thanks to its low sample consumption and small measuring cell.
This module stands out for its sampling rate of 50 ml/min and its 15 μl cell, which maintains measurement accuracy even in patients with low tidal volumes or high frequencies. These features are particularly advantageous for paediatric and neonatal intensive care units where reliable respiratory data is essential.
Integratable via the MOC-9® connection with the Root® platform, the NomoLine ISA CO₂ can be easily combined with other Masimo monitoring modalities (such as SpHb, SpO₂, etc.), providing a comprehensive view of the patient's condition. Integration with Root® also offers features such as access to historical data, remote viewing and automatic transfer to the electronic medical record.
One of the device's major advantages is its calibration-free spectrometer, which guarantees optimal accuracy in less than 10 seconds, making the module ideal for emergency situations where every second counts. Its compact and lightweight design makes it ergonomic, taking up minimal space and facilitating transport between different medical departments.
The LEGI (Light Emitting Gas Inlet) indicator system provides valuable visual assistance to users. This indicator light changes colour to indicate the status of the module:
- Green: sampling line connected
- Red: sampling line needs to be replaced
- Blue: anaesthetic gas measurement (for multi-gas version only)
By combining this module with Masimo's NomoLine sampling lines, which feature moisture removal technology, users benefit from reliable measurements without interference from condensation, for long-lasting and accurate use in both intubated and non-intubated patients.
The NomoLine ISA CO₂ is a robust, adaptable and effective solution for respiratory monitoring, with features designed to maximise responsiveness and clinical safety.
