Capnography (etCO2)

Dräger Capnography etCO2 Accessories | Trusted Supplier — JP Biochem Botswana
Draeger capnography etCO2 accessories provide clinicians with a continuous, non-invasive window into the ventilation status of critically ill patients — one of the most important monitoring capabilities in any intensive care or anaesthesia environment. Dräger offers dedicated reusable and disposable CO2 cuvettes as well as mainstream CO2 sensors to improve patient safety, with rapid, non-invasive etCO2 measurement using infrared sensors that enhance patient safety by monitoring ventilation status and are compatible with Dräger intensive care ventilators. LINET
Whether the clinical need is continuous ICU monitoring, peri-operative ventilation assessment, or confirmation of correct intubation in an emergency setting, the Dräger capnography etCO2 accessories range provides a complete, validated solution for every scenario.

Why Capnography Matters in Intensive Care
In intensive care, capnography is applied as a non-invasive way of evaluating a patient's ventilation status. It can be used to assess changes in ventilation, pulmonary perfusion, and metabolism to support optimisation of ventilation settings. Observing the arterial or etCO2 difference and respective gradient over a period of time can provide important information related to either improved or worsened patient status, and thus support clinical decision-making. Linetamericas
In practice, this means that etCO2 monitoring is not just a safety check — it is an active clinical tool that helps the ICU team continuously optimise ventilation therapy, detect deterioration early, and verify the integrity of the airway circuit in real time.

Mainstream CO2 Sensors — Faster Response, Fewer Misreadings
The Dräger mainstream CO2 sensors offer non-invasive measurement of etCO2 with a rapid response CO2 sensor. An infrared sensor measures carbon dioxide directly at the end of the endotracheal tube. The response is therefore faster in comparison to sidestream measurement and measuring misreadings are reduced. LINET
Mainstream measurement at the airway eliminates the transport delay inherent in sidestream sampling — a clinically meaningful advantage in rapidly changing patients, where a delay of even a few seconds in detecting a rise or fall in etCO2 can affect clinical decision timing.

Complete CO2 Cuvette Portfolio — Adult and Paediatric
Dräger offers a complete portfolio of CO2 cuvettes for adults and paediatrics. The variety of CO2 cuvettes available allows usage for different patient profiles. Linetamericas
This breadth of coverage — from large adult circuits to paediatric and neonatal configurations — means a single facility can standardise on Dräger capnography accessories across all its ventilated patient groups, simplifying procurement, training, and stock management without compromising on clinical performance for any patient size.

Disposable CO2 Cuvettes — Streamlined Circuit Changeover
The disposable CO2 cuvette completes the portfolio of disposable ventilation accessories for Dräger intensive care ventilators. Simply dispose of the used cuvette along with the entire disposable breathing circuit to reduce dismantling time. LINET
This integrated disposal approach — where the capnography cuvette and the breathing circuit are changed out as a single unit — removes a step from the patient changeover process, reduces the risk of cross-contamination from partially disassembled circuits, and saves nursing time in high-throughput ICU environments.

Infinity etCO2 Microstream® SmartPod — Advanced Sidestream Capnography
The Infinity etCO2 Microstream SmartPod provides state-of-the-art sidestream capnography on intubated and non-intubated patients, producing a crisp, accurate waveform and reading on all types of patients. This technology offers superior moisture and secretion handling, making etCO2 monitoring easier and more practical to use — especially for non-intubated patients. The Infinity etCO2 Microstream SmartPod measures etCO2 with very low sampling flow of 50 ml/min in humid conditions for many applications. Draeger
The 50 ml/min sampling flow is particularly important for paediatric and neonatal patients — where high sampling flows can interfere with tidal volume delivery — making the Microstream SmartPod a safe and clinically appropriate sidestream capnography option across a broad patient range.

Compatible with the Full Dräger Ventilator Range
The sensors and cuvettes are compatible with the Dräger intensive care ventilators Evita 2 dura, Evita 4 edition, Evita XL, Evita Infinity V500, and Evita V800/V600, ensuring that facilities running Dräger ventilators across different generations can source a single, validated capnography accessory range from one trusted supplier — with no compatibility uncertainty between accessory and device.
