Description

Single-width Airway Module, E-miniC

For compact CO2 sidestream respiratory monitoring 

The E-miniC Module is a single-width, plug-in module. The module is intended for use for patients weighing over 5 kg (11 lb) only

Features

• CO2 side-stream measurement done at the patient’s airway
• Very small and reliable measurement technology

• Inspired and end-tidal CO2 values displayed on the screen as waveforms and in numerical format 

• Full numerical and graphical trends of all measured data

•Measurement of respiration rate up to 80 breaths per minute 

•Fast response time 

•Wide measurement range for CO2 

•Adjustable high and low alarm limits for EtCO2 and FiCO2 

•Manual adjustment for N2O and O2 allowed for improved CO2 measurement accuracy 

•Accommodates water separation system which is lightweight, and has good tolerance for tilting

Technical specifications

General

Sampling rate 150 ±25 ml/min 

Displayed values updated breath by breath 

Manual O2 and N2O compensation allowed to improve CO2 measurement accuracy • When manual O2 compensation is not activated (O2 concentration 40% to 95%), CO2 reading decreases <0.3 vol% 

•  When the manual compensation for O2 is activated (O2 concentration 40 to 95%), the error in the CO2 reading is < 0.15 vol% 

• When manual N2O compensation is not activated (N2O concentration 40 to 80%), CO2 reading increases < 0.8 vol% 

• When the manual compensation for N2O is activated (N2O concentration 40 to 80%), the error in the CO2 reading is < 0.3 vol% 

Non-disturbing gases 

Ethanol, acetone, methane, nitrogen, water vapor: Effect on readings at 5.0 vol%: < 0.2 vol% (max)
