Ensuring Patients` Safety through CO₂ Monitoring

Capnography is a non-invasive method that measures the concentration of carbon dioxide during expiration (EtCO₂). Initially used in hospital surveillance and emergency care, capnography is rapidly becoming popular in medical practices and homecare medicine. The trend to miniaturize such modules emphasizes the advantages of the Axetris MEMS-based broadband infrared (IR) sources for NDIR gas detection. Axetris offers solutions by providing a portfolio of IR Sources with adapted reflectors and optionally mounted optical windows. Axetris` newly released qualified EMIRS50 is specifically made for compact NDIR capnography sensors for high-quality CO₂ monitoring.
