Sampling Line

A sampling line is a component of medical devices used to collect and transport samples of gases or fluids for analysis or measurement. It is commonly used in various clinical settings, including anesthesia, respiratory therapy, and critical care.

L-Type EtCO2 ConnectorThe "L-shaped connector" is adapted to the "sampling tube" to connect to the air circuit, so that the side-stream EtCO2 sensor can accurately and quickly collect the value of end-tidal carbon dioxide. Single use consumables.

How does Sidestream EtCO2 Sensor Work?

Sidestream EtCO2 sensors work by using a sampling tube to draw a small sample of exhaled gas from the patient's airway. This sample is then transported to the sensor for analysis and measurement of carbon dioxide levels. The sampling tube is connected to the patient's airway through an adapter or cannula. A small pump or vacuum within the capnography system helps to draw the gas sample through the tube to the sensor. Once the sample reaches the sensor, it analyzes the carbon dioxide concentration and provides the EtCO2 reading.

Sidestream capnography requires a small amount of gas flow to be diverted from the patient's airway, leading to a slight delay in measurement compared to mainstream capnography.

FAQs of Sidestream EtCO2 Sensors



What is sidestream EtCO2?



Sidestream EtCO2 refers to the measurement of end-tidal carbon dioxide levels by sampling a small portion of exhaled gas through a sampling tube located away from the patient's airway.

What is the flow rate of sidestream capnography?



Typically, the flow rate of sidestream capnography is around 50-200 milliliters per minute (mL/min).

What are the advantages of sidestream capnography?



Non-intrusive and less uncomfortable for patients compared to mainstream capnography.

Provides flexibility in terms of sensor placement and can be used with various airway adapters.

Can be used in a wide range of clinical settings and patient populations.

Offers reliable and accurate measurements of end-tidal carbon dioxide levels.

Allows for continuous monitoring of ventilation and respiratory function.
