CO2 sensor TG-980P

monitoring

cap-ONE is Nihon Kohden's unique mainstream CO2 sensor for both intubated and non-intubated patients for safer respiratory management. The ultra compact and light weight sensor and unique adapter provide accurate measurements and reduce the burden on the patients. Quantitative method Sensor itself weighs only 4 g Accurate for both intubated and non-intubated patients CO2 measurement during upper endoscopy is possible with cap-ONE Biteblock Reliable even in a humid environment Can be used on neonates With a ventilator and a nebulizer Because the mist generated in the breathing circuit by a nebulizer creates a very harsh environment for a CO2 sensor which uses infrared light, it was considered impossible to monitor CO2 by a capnometer when a nebulizer is used with a ventilator. However, we have overcome these issues and developed a TG-980P CO2 sensor that enables stable measurement over a long period of time, even when using a nebulizer. The upper waveforms are the CO2 partial pressure in exhaled air, and the lower waveform shows the signal light and reference light detected by our CO2 sensor, TG-980P. The exhaled CO2 partial pressure is calculated from the signal and reference light outputs. When the nebulizer is turned on, the waveforms of both the signal and reference light outputs are blurred due to the mist of the nebulizer. However, with TG-980P which is using Quantitative method, the CO2 measurement is not affected since both are equally affected so an accurate partial pressure of CO2 can be determined.
