Capnograph Monitor EtCO2 Sensor

Capnograph Monitor EtCO2 Sensor for Respiratory Monitoring

The Capnograph Monitor EtCO2 Sensor by Brightfield Healthcare is a portable medical device used to measure carbon dioxide levels in exhaled air and monitor respiratory rate. It provides healthcare professionals with essential respiratory parameters for assessing pulmonary ventilation, observing changes in breathing patterns, and monitoring patients during respiratory support.

The portable capnograph monitor features a compact design, lightweight construction, and battery-powered operation. It can be used independently or alongside other patient monitoring equipment in intensive care units, operating rooms, and clinical environments where continuous respiratory assessment is required.

Accurate EtCO2 Measurement with NDIR Infrared Technology

The EtCO2 Sensor capnograph monitor uses non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology to measure carbon dioxide concentration in exhaled air. This method is based on the absorption of infrared radiation by CO2 molecules at specific wavelengths. The sensor detects changes in infrared light intensity and calculates the carbon dioxide concentration in the gas sample.

One of the primary monitoring parameters is EtCO2 (end-tidal carbon dioxide), which represents the partial pressure of CO2 at the end of exhalation. End-tidal CO2 monitoring provides information about pulmonary ventilation and helps clinicians identify changes in respiratory function.

In addition to EtCO2 measurement, the capnograph monitors respiratory rate. The measured values and graphical respiratory information are displayed on a 1.44-inch color TFT screen. CO2 readings can be displayed in mmHg, kPa, or percentage (%).

Respiratory Monitoring During Mechanical Ventilation

The Capnograph Monitor EtCO2 Sensor can be used for monitoring patients receiving mechanical ventilation and assessing respiratory activity during the transition from assisted ventilation to spontaneous breathing.

Continuous capnography allows medical personnel to observe changes in exhaled carbon dioxide levels and respiratory rate. These measurements support the evaluation of ventilation and can be interpreted together with other clinical indicators to assess the patient’s respiratory status.

With compatible airway adapters, the EtCO2 Sensor supports respiratory monitoring in both mechanically ventilated patients and patients breathing spontaneously.

Continuous Capnography and Adjustable Alarm Settings

The portable EtCO2 monitor continuously measures carbon dioxide concentration and respiratory rate. Its color TFT display presents respiratory monitoring data, making it possible to observe changes in measured parameters during clinical procedures and patient observation.

The Capnograph Monitor EtCO2 Sensor includes audible alarms for apnea and airway adapter disconnection. Adjustable CO2 alarm thresholds allow healthcare professionals to configure monitoring limits according to clinical requirements.

These functions assist medical personnel in identifying changes in respiratory activity and responding to abnormal monitoring conditions.

Compact Design and Simple Operation

The EtCO2 Sensor portable capnograph monitor features a straightforward control system and does not require routine calibration before operation. Once switched on and connected to the appropriate airway adapter, the device begins its startup and measurement process.

The capnograph operates using two standard AAA batteries, allowing respiratory monitoring without a continuous mains power connection. Its compact housing measures 51 × 43 × 45 mm, while the total weight, including batteries, is approximately 65 g.

The lightweight construction makes the EtCO2 Sensor convenient for bedside use and integration into clinical monitoring workflows where a separate capnography device is needed.

Clinical Applications of the EtCO2 Sensor Capnograph Monitor

The Capnograph Monitor EtCO2 Sensor can be used for respiratory monitoring in several clinical settings:

• Intensive care units: monitoring end-tidal carbon dioxide and respiratory rate in patients receiving respiratory support.
• Operating rooms: observing ventilation parameters during procedures requiring respiratory monitoring.
• Mechanical ventilation: tracking EtCO2 values during assisted ventilation.
• Spontaneous breathing assessment: monitoring respiratory activity during the transition from mechanical ventilation.
• Bedside patient monitoring: portable measurement of CO2 in exhaled air and respiratory rate.
