GE CARESCAPE™* CO₂ Microstream™ parameter device
<p>The GE CARESCAPE™* CO₂ Microstream™ parameter device provides Microstream™ technology in an external parameter for compatible CARESCAPE™* monitors.</p>
Features
The Microstream™ technology advantage
Microstream™ 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 anesthetics). Proprietary 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.1
With fast power-up and fully accurate measurements at first reading, Microstream™ technology offers:
- Low flow 50 mL per minute sample rate, effective for virtually all patient types and necessary for neonatal sampling
- No individual patient calibration or rezeroing required
Microstream™ advance filter lines
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.2
Microstream™ advance filter lines offer:
- Soft tubing and neutral scent to help improve patient compliance
- Intubated and nonintubated options for short-term and longer-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 nose and the mouth, even at low tidal volumes
- Kink-resistant tubing engineered to mitigate interrupted oxygen flow and corresponding alarms, which meets the ISO 13544-2 compliance standard
Not available in all countries.
