Product overview
What This Product Is And Who It Is For
A handheld end-tidal carbon dioxide monitor measuring ETCO2 across 0 to 150 mmHg at 1 mmHg resolution, with respiration rate from 2 to 120 rpm at 1 rpm resolution. Accuracy is plus or minus 2 mmHg from 0 to 40 mmHg and moves to a percentage of reading above that. The unit preheats in 2 minutes, responds in under 3 seconds and runs for 8 hours, sampling gas at 60 to 100 ml per minute. At 159 x 72 x 31 mm and 270 g it is genuinely handheld, with IPX1 protection and type BF applied part classification.
Problems It Solves
- Bench capnographs cannot travel to the patient, so this monitor is handheld at 270 g
- Long warm-up times make a monitor useless in an emergency, so preheat is 2 minutes
- Slow response hides a changing airway, so response time is under 3 seconds
- Mains-tied monitors stop at the ambulance door, so the unit runs 8 hours internally powered
- Respiration rate has to be counted manually without capnography, which the monitor measures directly
Who It Is For
- Hospital anaesthesia and emergency departments
- Ambulance and emergency medical services
- Intensive care and recovery units
- Medical equipment distributors
- Private clinic and day surgery groups
Key benefits
Why Buyers Choose It
- A 2 minute preheat and under 3 second response make the monitor usable in an emergency rather than only in a planned procedure
- 8 hours of operation covers a full shift or a long transfer on internal power
- At 270 g and 159 x 72 x 31 mm it is carried rather than wheeled, which suits pre-hospital work
- Measuring respiration rate alongside ETCO2 gives two airway parameters from one device
- Sampling at 60 to 100 ml/min suits both adult and smaller patients
- Alarm sound pressure of 50 dB is audible without dominating a treatment area

Quality Control And Certification
Quality Control
- ETCO2 accuracy is verified across the measurement bands against reference gas
- Respiration rate accuracy is checked against the plus or minus 1 rpm specification
- Preheat and response times are tested before shipment
- Sampling flow is verified within the 60 to 100 ml/min range
- Alarm sound pressure is checked against the 50 dB specification

Customisation and comparison
Options And Alternatives
Customisation Options
- Sampling line and accessory selection
- Manual and interface language
- Carry case configuration
- Packaging artwork
- Export carton quantity and marks
Compared With Other Options
- Bench capnography modules
- A 270 g handheld unit travels to the patient and runs 8 hours on internal power
- Pulse oximetry alone
- ETCO2 shows ventilation directly and changes before oxygen saturation falls
- Colorimetric CO2 detectors
- A numeric measurement across 0 to 150 mmHg with waveform response replaces a yes or no colour change
Use guide
How To Use It Correctly
Step
Switch on and allow the 2 minute preheat before use
Step
Connect the sampling line to the airway adapter
Step
Check the reading responds within 3 seconds of a breath
Step
Set alarm limits appropriate to the patient and procedure
Step
Replace the sampling line according to the facility protocol
Step
Charge the unit after use so the 8 hour capacity is available for the next case

What is the measurement range and accuracy
ETCO2 from 0 to 150 mmHg at 1 mmHg resolution. Accuracy is plus or minus 2 mmHg from 0 to 40 mmHg, then plus or minus 5, 8 and 10 percent of reading in the higher bands.
How quickly is it ready to use
Preheat takes 2 minutes and response time is under 3 seconds, which is why it is used in emergency airway confirmation.
How long does it run on internal power

Does it measure respiration rate
Yes, from 2 to 120 rpm at 1 rpm resolution with accuracy of plus or minus 1 rpm.
What is the protection rating
IPX1 waterproof and dustproof, internally powered equipment with a type BF applied part.
Is it certified for export
The monitor carries CE certification and documentation is supplied before shipment.
