GE CARESCAPE™* CO₂ – Microstream™ Parameter Device

Microstream™ capnography technology uses Molecular Correlation Spectroscopy™ a proprietary CO2-specific IR wavelength engineered to deliver clear, crisp waveforms and accurate measurements, with no impact from the presence of other gases (i.e., O2, N2O, He, or inhaled anaesthetics).With fast power-up and fully accurate measurements at first reading, Microstream™ technology offers:Low flow 50-mL/minute sample rate, effective for virtually all patient types and necessary for neonatal samplingNo individual patient calibration or rezeroing requiredProprietary Smart Capnography™ algorithms, Smart Breath Detection™ algorithm (SBD) and Smart Alarm for Respiratory Analysis™ algorithm (SARA), are designed to simplify the use of CO2 monitoring on Microstream™ technology-enabled patient monitors to help improve patient safety and clinical workflow.([FOOTNOTE=Internal test data on file. ],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])

Design enhancements help improve the patient experience and the performance of the sampling line. Softer tubing may help increase patient compliance and safety, while the improved kink-resistance of the tubing maintains an uninterrupted oxygen supply to patients, and continuous CO₂ sampling.([FOOTNOTE=Blonder Y, Mazor E, and Jew K.

Microstream™ Advance filter lines offer:

• Soft tubing and neutral scent to help improve patient compliance
• Intubated and nonintubated options for short-term and long-term monitoring
• 0.2-micron sterilizing-grade filter designed to help reduce risk¹ of biohazard contamination of the monitor
• Uni-junction™ technology, designed for effective sampling with and without oxygen delivery, from both nares and the mouth, even at low tidal volumes
• Kink-resistant tubing engineered to mitigate interrupted oxygen flow and resulting alarms, meets ISO 13544-2 compliance standard
