CO2 Monitor For Sale

Where CO2 monitors are Used?

ICU’s cannot function without specialized equipment, which helps them to monitor the patients’ vitals. In order to provide continuous monitoring of patients in complicated condition, it is necessary to use special sensors, ICU/CCU and systems. A monitor, displaying CO2 level is one of them. As a rule, carbon dioxide level is measured at every inhalation of the person. The curve and the CO2 value, measured in mmHg or kPa is displayed on the monitor.

Types of CO2 monitors

It is highly important to equip ICU’s with such devices. CO2 measurement is necessary to determine the adequacy of ventilation. In addition, capnography is useful for detecting of erroneous esophagus intubations. Without specialized co2 monitors it is impossible to diagnose malignant hyperthermia and circulatory problems.
Medical co2 monitor is irreplaceable for:

• detection of sudden vessel collapses (as indicated by plummeting ETCO2);
• artificial lung ventilation disconnection (as an alarm trigger);
• malignant hyperthermia diagnostics (as indicated by gradual elevation of ETCO2);
• detection of air embolism (plummeting ETCO2 while BP remains stable).

Important Specifications

CO2 analyzers and monitors usually work according to one of the following principles:

1. Photoacoustic spectroscopy. In conditions of intermittent infrared radiation, the gas produces waves. Their length can characterize the CO2 concentration. This principle ensures that exact data is obtained.
2. Infrared absorptive spectroscopy. CO2 concentration is measured with the help of infrared radiation, as molecules of this gas absorb it with the wavelength of 4.3 micrometers.

Major indices and curves indicating the CO2 level are displayed on the monitor. In order to calculate them, a gas sample is taken with the help of one of the following methods:

1. From the mainstream. The measuring chamber is placed into the stream of gas, supplied to the patient.
2. From the lateral stream. The gas sample is taken with the help of a tube, the inner diameter of which is 1.2 mm. It is connected to adapter near the breathing circuit, which is connected to the patient. Through this tube, the gas is delivered to the measuring chamber.

How Much Does CO2 monitors cost?

The prices of some instruments can be as low as 95 USD or less, while the newest, high-tier systems may cost as much as 16000 USD.
Well-known brands of portable co2 monitor for patients in the United States are Philips , GE and Covidien. Outside of the US, top-selling brands are Nonin and Masimo. 
Besides, one should understand that new and demo machines will cost more than refurbished or used co2 monitors for sale. 
What is the difference? New machines have never been used. They have the manufacturer’s warranty. Demo machines are, as a rule, exhibition models. They have not been used in clinical practice but they have been often presented at exhibitions. As a result, the price is lower. Refurbished machines are used machines that have undergone improvements (refurbishment can be done at the manufacturer’s facilities or in private repair shops)
