Allied Healthcare Carbolime Carbon Dioxide Absorbent

Yes, the Carbolime absorbent utilizes a clear, built-in visual exhaustion indicator to signal when its carbon dioxide absorption capacity is fully spent. This feature is based on an ethyl violet dye and the color change is permanent, preventing confusion during replacement.The indicator transitions as follows:<ul><li>Active/Fresh State: White</li><li>Exhausted State (CO2 absorption complete): Pale Violet</li></ul>

Yes, the Allied Healthcare Carbolime absorbent is formulated specifically without potassium hydroxide (KOH). It is a specialized, granular soda lime compound designed for use in closed or semi-closed breathing circuits.

Its formulation includes calcium hydroxide, water, and sodium hydroxide, and is engineered for high performance:

• Visual Indicator: Features an ethyl violet dye that permanently changes color from white to pale violet once the material is exhausted, providing a clear visual cue for replacement.
• Effective Absorption: Efficiently absorbs carbon dioxide and excessive heat. The material maintains a moisture content between 12% and 19% for optimal absorption.
• Low Dust: The pellet-shaped formulation minimizes dust levels, which helps optimize the surface area and reduce friction within the breathing circuit.

Yes, the Carbolime CO2 absorbent is designed for high operational flexibility, offering six distinct container configurations to ensure maximum compatibility across various anesthesia devices and storage requirements. These options include both bulk material for refills and specialized, machine-specific cartridges:

Yes, Carbolime offers high versatility and is available in six distinct container configurations to suit various anesthesia equipment and operational requirements. This ensures compatibility whether you need dedicated machine cartridges or bulk refills. Its design supports integration with major systems:

Cartridges for Specific Anesthesia Systems

Yes, the Allied Healthcare Carbolime Carbon Dioxide Absorbent is specifically engineered to have minimal dust levels.

This formulation is crucial for safety and optimal performance within anesthesia and respiratory circuits:

• System Integrity: Minimizing dust helps protect the sensitive components of anesthesia machines, ensuring system longevity and reliability.
• Optimal Structure: The absorbent consists of granular, pellet-shaped soda lime compounds with an optimal particle size (4 to 10 Mesh) and a specific moisture content (12% to 19%). This design maximizes surface area for effective CO2 absorption.
• Potassium Hydroxide Free: This compound is notable for being completely free of potassium hydroxide, offering a specific chemical profile desired in respiratory applications.

Yes, the Carbolime absorbent is highly versatile and is offered in six distinct configurations to ensure compatibility with various anesthesia devices.

These configurations include specialized cartridges designed for easy integration with major anesthesia machine systems:

• GE Multi-Style Cartridge: Compatible with GE Avance, Aespire, and Aisys Anesthesia Systems.
• GE Compact Style Cartridge: Compatible with the GE ADU Carestation.
• Drager Style Cartridge: Compatible with Drager Apollo, Fabius GS, Pallas, and Primus Anesthesia Systems.

For standard dispensing or bulk needs, it is also available in Cylindrical Canisters (1 kg), Bag Refills (1.5 liter), and Bulk Pails (21 liter).

The Carbolime Carbon Dioxide Absorbent is formulated to maintain a precise moisture level essential for optimal absorption efficiency and reliable performance in breathing circuits.

• The controlled moisture content is strictly maintained between 12% and 19%.
• This specific range, combined with the product’s adequate porosity, ensures the soda lime compound effectively absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2).
• The optimized formulation also helps absorb excessive heat generated during the scrubbing process, aided by a low-dust composition and graded particle size.

Yes, the Carbolime formula is specifically engineered without potassium hydroxide. This deliberate composition helps to significantly minimize the production of harmful degradation byproducts, prioritizing patient safety during anesthesia procedures.

Absolutely. The absorbent features a low-dust granular structure that offers several performance benefits:

• Increased Surface Area: The porous, pellet-shaped granules are designed to maximize gas contact, leading to more efficient CO2 removal.
• Consistent Performance: The controlled, uniform shape reduces friction and ensures stable, reliable gas flow throughout the breathing circuit.

Yes, it features a permanent color-change indicator that provides a clear, high-contrast visual cue.

• Fresh State: Granules are white.
• Exhausted State: Granules shift to a distinct pale violet.

This visual shift is permanent, which helps clinical staff easily monitor the absorbent status and prevents the accidental use of depleted material.
