Chapter 13: GAS Monitoring (Mainstream)
13.1 GENERAL
Patient Monitor provides mainstream method for Gas measurement.
The IRMA mainstream gas analyzer is intended to be connected to a patient breathing circuit for
monitoring of inspired/expired gases of adults, pediatrics and infant patient during anesthesia,
recovery and respiratory care. It may be used in the operating suite, intensive care unit (ICU),
patient room. IRMA CO2 may also be used in the emergency medical services environment and
road ambulances.
The sensor head is available in various configurations for ICU and OR applications.
Concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), Halothane (HAL), Enflurane
(ENF), Isoflurane (ISO), Sevoflurane (SEV) and Desflurane (DES) in different combinations are
determined together with derived parameters such as respiratory rate, waveform and
inspired/expired concentrations of all gases.
It is available in various parameter configurations as follow:
CO2 only sensor:
AX+ sensor:
