    -100 Instruction Manual 1.0 INTRODUCTION The CAPSTAR-100 is a high-performance respiratory gas analyzer for the routine monitoring of expired carbon dioxide and respiratory rate. The CO sensor is a temperature-controlled, infrared optical bench, which features fast response, excellent accuracy, and long-term stability. End-tidal CO...

    -100 Instruction Manual 3.0 SETTING UP THE CAPSTAR-100  Place the CAPSTAR-100 control unit in a stable location close to the subject or animal being monitored. When monitoring small animals, it is desirable to locate the unit as close to the animal as possible, to minimize sample tube volume.

  • Page 7: Operation

    SAMPLE INLET endotracheal tube as close to the animal as possible, ALWAYS using a small hydrophobic in-line filter at the CAPSTAR-100 port. Several centimeters of small-bore tubing is SAMPLE INLET acceptable between the sample port and the tracheal connection if the sample rate is kept reasonably high.

  • Page 8: Conditioning The Sample

    The third line shows the alarm low and high settings for ETCO2 (left) and Respiratory Rate (right). The box at the bottom of the screen shows a bar graph of the ETCO reading, updated once per second. This serves as a quick visual indicator of changing CO over time. © 2023 CWE, Inc.

  • Page 9: Calibrate Functions

    -100 Instruction Manual 4.3 CALIBRATE FUNCTIONS Calibrating the CAPSTAR-100 is straightforward. Because of the inherent linearity of the sensor, only a two-point calibration is required. For CO calibration, a 5% CO in air calibration mixture is ideal. Zero: With the instrument fully warmed-up, and the...

  • Page 12: Co2 Calibration Procedure

    -100 Instruction Manual 5.0 CO2 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE When calibrating the Capstar-100 it is important to avoid applying pressure to the SAMPLE INLET port. The diagram below illustrates a simple means of coupling a calibration gas source while calibrating. Note that the gas just flows around the distal end of the sample tubing, allowing the instrument to draw in the gas at its own flow rate.

  • Page 13: Maintenance

    NEVER OPERATE THE INSTRUMENT WITHOUT THIS IN- LINE HYDROPHOBIC FILTER. THIS FILTER PREVENTS LIQUIDS AND OTHER CONTAMINENTS FROM ENTERING THE SAMPLE CELLS. 7.0 ORDERING INFORMATION Accessories and replacement parts for the CAPSTAR-100 are available from CWE, Inc. PART NO. DESCRIPTION...
