Overview of Microstream® CO2 monitoring
The Cockpit provides continuous sidestream
measurements of carbon dioxide (CO2)
concentrations for intubated and non-intubated
patients. The Cockpit acquires signals from the
Infinity MCable – Microstream CO
2
(subsequently referred to as Microstream MCable
and shown in the following figure).
The Microstream MCable enables the clinician to
monitor CO
2 using the patient monitor. It uses non-
dispersive infrared technology to measure CO2 in
breathing gases. The Microstream MCable
analyzes the expiratory and inspiratory air as the
breathing gases flow through the sample line. It
automatically compensates for ambient pressure
within the defined operating ranges
The Microstream MCable is intended for use with
adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients with the
appropriate accessories.
Before performing any monitoring functions, refer
to the chapter “For your safety and that of your
patients” on page 13.
Supported parameters
– etCO2 (end-tidal CO2 concentration)
– inCO2 (inspiratory CO
2 concentration)
– RRc (respiratory rate)
Parameter-specific error messages are listed on
page 547.
