Frequently asked questions
Are the AirLife CO2 products Factory New?
Yes, all components in the AirLife CO2 Absorption product line are guaranteed to be Factory New.
This ensures you receive unused, pristine components suitable for critical medical and anesthetic applications, regardless of the configuration (cartridges, canisters, foam, or circuits).
Is this CO2 absorption product factory new?
Yes, all components within the AirLife CO2 Absorption product line are guaranteed to be Factory New.
This ensures the highest level of quality and reliability for critical medical applications. This condition applies across all available configurations, including:
- Prepacked Cartridges
- Twinpack Canisters
- Replacement Foam Inserts
- Complete Anesthesia 2 Limb Circle Circuits
Is a saturation indicator included for safety?
Yes, the CO2 absorption media features a visual color change indicator, which is a key safety mechanism. This allows medical professionals to easily determine when the media is saturated and requires immediate replacement.
The color transition is clearly defined:
- Unsaturated Media: White
- Saturated Media: Violet
This indicator is present on the configurations that utilize the absorbent material, such as the 1.1 kg Prepacked Cartridges and the 4.5 kg Twinpack Canisters.
What is the primary use for these CO2 absorbers?
The AirLife CO2 absorption materials and components are specialized for use in professional medical environments, primarily focusing on respiratory and anesthesia management. Their main function is the controlled removal of exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) in clinical settings.
The key applications include:
- Clinical Anesthesia Delivery: These absorbers are crucial components for use in circle breathing systems, essential for scrubbing CO2 during procedures in operating rooms and intensive care.
- Respiratory Therapy: They are used for general gas scrubbing applications in medical procedures that require effective CO2 removal during ventilation.
A key safety feature is the visual indicator: the absorption media changes color from White to Violet when its CO2 absorption capacity is exhausted, signaling the need for immediate replacement.
What CO2 absorption configurations are available?
The AirLife CO2 Absorption product line provides several configurations for professional medical use, covering both absorption units and a complete anesthesia circuit assembly.
Key configurations include:
- Prepacked Cartridge: Disposable, round units (1.1 kg size), supplied in 12-packs. These feature a White to Violet color change indicator to signal when the absorbent material is depleted.
- Twinpack Canister: High-capacity canisters (4.5 kg size), supplied in 2-packs, also using the White to Violet color change indication.
- Foam Inserts: Replacement foam components for the reusable 1407-7004-000 system, packaged 40 per pack.
- Anesthesia 2 Limb Circle Circuit: A complete assembly sold in boxes of 20, containing a 72” expandable hose, a 1L breathing bag, an elbow with a capped gas sampling port, a bifurcated Wye, a 10 ft gas sampling line, and an HMEF Mini.
Are disposable and reusable configurations available?
Yes, the AirLife CO2 absorption product line offers specialized components for both disposable use and for maintaining reusable systems, providing necessary flexibility for various clinical needs.
Disposable Configurations
These variants are generally designed for single-use, with the cartridges and canisters featuring a White to Violet color change indicator to signal saturation:
- Prepacked Cartridge, Round: 1.1 kg size, supplied in a 12-pack.
- Twinpack Canister: 4.5 kg capacity, supplied in a 2-pack.
- Anesthesia 2 Limb Circle Circuit: A complete circuit kit (20 per box) that includes a 72” expandable hose, 1L breathing bag, HMEF Mini, and various ports/lines.
Reusable System Component
- Foam Inserts: These replacement components are supplied in a 40-pack and are designed specifically for use with the reusable unit model 1407-7004-000.
What is the capacity of the prepacked CO2 cartridge?
The disposable prepacked cartridge contains 1.1 kg of the CO2 absorption media. This round cartridge configuration is designed for convenience and efficiency in medical settings.
Key features of this variant include:
- Capacity: Each cartridge holds 1.1 kg of media.
- Visual Indicator: The absorption media changes color from White to Violet when its CO2 absorption capacity is exhausted, clearly signaling the need for replacement.
- Packaging: These disposable cartridges are sold in packs of 12 units.
Are various CO2 absorption formats offered?
Yes, the Airlife CO2 Absorption line offers excellent versatility with specialized configurations designed for different medical and industrial applications, ensuring you can match the product precisely to your needs.
The available formats include:
- Disposable Prepacked Cartridge (1.1 kg): Round cartridges that include the White to Violet color change indicator, supplied 12 per package.
- High-Capacity Twinpack Canister (4.5 kg): Larger canisters also featuring the White to Violet color change indicator, supplied 2 per pack.
- Foam Inserts: Specifically designed as replacement components for the Reusable unit model 1407-7004-000, supplied 40 per package.
- Complete Anesthesia 2 Limb Circle Circuit: A full assembly supplied 20 per box, which includes a 72” expandable hose, 1L breathing bag, elbow with capped gas sampling port, bifurcated wye, 10 ft sampling line, and an HMEF Mini.
Are these absorption units disposable or reusable?
The AirLife CO2 absorption line includes both fully disposable units and specialized refills designed as consumables for reusable systems.
Fully Disposable Configurations
- Prepacked Cartridges: These round, 1.1 kg cartridges are designed for single use (sold 12 per pack) and include a White to Violet color change indicator.
- Anesthesia 2 Limb Circle Circuit: This is a comprehensive, disposable assembly (20 units per box) featuring a 72-inch expandable hose, a 1L breathing bag, sampling ports, and an HMEF Mini.
Consumable Refills for Reusable Systems
- Foam Refills: These foam components are specifically intended for servicing the Reusable 1407-7004-000 system (sold 40 per pack).
Is the saturation indicator clear?
Yes, the CO2 absorption media utilizes a reliable, highly visible color-change indicator to clearly signal when replacement is necessary. This feature is a top selling point for ensuring timely maintenance and safety.
Here is how the indicator works:
- Effective State: The absorption media is active and effective when the color is White.
- Exhausted State: The color clearly changes to Violet when the media is fully saturated or exhausted, signaling that the CO2 absorption capacity is spent and requires immediate replacement.
