Frequently asked questions
Does the sensor offer rapid response time?
Yes, the CAPNOSTAT 5 sensor is engineered for rapid response time, allowing for quick patient assessment and real-time monitoring. Its startup sequence is exceptionally fast:
- Initial CO2 Indication: The sensor provides an initial CO2 indication (Capnogram data) within just 15 seconds of power-up.
- Fully Operational Status: It becomes fully operational and ready for accurate monitoring within an additional 15 seconds after the initial indication.
Does the CAPNOSTAT 5 sensor require routine calibration?
No, the Respironics CAPNOSTAT 5 Main-Stream CO2 Sensor Module is designed to eliminate the need for routine calibration, simplifying maintenance and ensuring operational readiness quickly.
For verification of operational readiness, the sensor cable is equipped with convenient verification cells that can be used to confirm the calibration status quickly and easily without needing specialized equipment or a complex procedure.
Does the CAPNOSTAT 5 sensor offer wide monitor compatibility?
The Respironics CAPNOSTAT 5 Main-Stream CO2 Sensor Module is designed for versatile compatibility with various patient monitors that utilize main-stream CO2 sensing technology. It is often paired with systems from different manufacturers.
It is specifically confirmed to be compatible with numerous Edan monitor models, including:
- M3B
- iM8, iM50, iM60, iM70, iM80
- M50, M80
Crucial Compatibility Warning:
Please note that this sensor is not compatible with monitors that require specific barcoding features for operation. You must always verify compatibility with your specific monitoring system manufacturer prior to ordering.
Which airway adapters are included with the sensor module?
The Respironics CAPNOSTAT 5 Main-Stream CO2 Sensor Module comes with two essential disposable airway adapters, making it suitable for a range of patients:
- Disposable Adult Airway Adapter (#6063-00)
- Disposable Neonatal (Infant/Pediatric) Airway Adapter (#6312-00)
These adapters ensure versatile use for different patient populations.
Does the sensor include a patented IR source?
Yes, the CAPNOSTAT 5 sensor is engineered with a patented Infrared (IR) source capable of rapid pulsing. This advanced optical mechanism is integral to the sensor’s superior performance and solid-state durability:
- Contaminant Immunity: The patented IR source works in conjunction with a beam splitter, allowing reference and measurement signals to strike their respective detectors simultaneously. This process effectively filters out signal changes caused by airway contaminants, ensuring high accuracy.
- Enhanced Durability: The reliance on this solid-state optical system eliminates the need for mechanical moving parts (such as chopper wheels), contributing to the sensor’s ruggedness. It has been tested to remain fully functional even after being dropped 100 times from 6 feet.
Are verification cells included on the sensor cable?
Yes, the Respironics CAPNOSTAT 5 sensor features built-in support for simple verification.
- The sensor cable includes conveniently located verification cells.
- These cells allow for quick confirmation of the sensor’s calibration status.
- Crucially, due to its design, no routine calibration is required, simplifying long-term use and maintenance.
Is the CAPNOSTAT 5 module factory new?
Yes, the Respironics CAPNOSTAT 5 Main-Stream CO2 Sensor Module is confirmed to be Factory New.
This guarantees the sensor module is unused, in pristine condition, and comes directly from the manufacturer (Philips). It is also backed by a 1-year warranty.
Does this sensor work with all patient monitors?
While the CAPNOSTAT 5 is compatible with a wide range of monitors—such as the Edan M3B, iM8, iM50, iM60, iM70, iM80, M50, and M80—it is critical to verify your specific device requirements.
- Important: This sensor is not compatible with systems that require specific barcoding protocols.
- Before purchasing, we highly recommend checking with your monitor manufacturer to ensure full compatibility with your current setup.
How durable is the CAPNOSTAT 5 CO2 sensor module?
The CAPNOSTAT 5 sensor module is designed for exceptional durability, featuring a revolutionary solid-state construction with no moving parts. This design significantly enhances its ruggedness and reliability.
Its superior durability has been rigorously tested:
- The sensor remains fully functional after being dropped 100 times from 6 feet onto a hard surface.
