MGA-IR Sidestream CO2 Module General Information

Complete gas analyzer offers easy, continuous CO₂ monitoring without adding hardware
The MGA-IR sidestream CO₂ module houses the sampling bench inside the module reducing cost and providing protection for the delicate sensing components. The sidestream CO₂ module is capable of monitoring both intubated and non-intubated patients covering the full spectrum of patients. Sidestream CO₂ monitoring is particularly suited for care areas that wish to monitor CO₂ on non-intubated patients receiving Bi-pap or simply monitored using a nasal cannula.
The MGA-IR sidestream module uses a pump to aspirate a sample from the patient which is passed through the sampling bench for analysis. The sampling system uses a single beam chopper wheel technology that self-calibrates every 30 milliseconds. The 45-second warm-up time to full specification enables monitoring in emergency situations. Housing sampling components inside the module reduces the risk of damage or loss.
The MGA-IR sidestream CO₂ module is compatible with the Marquette 7010, TramscopeŽ 12 and SolarŽ modular products. Including CO₂ measurement as an integral part of these advanced patient monitors offers many advantages over stand alone devices. The inspired CO₂, expired CO₂, RR and capnograph are easily viewed along with other important vital sign information in one convenient location. Selectable alarm limits for these values including no breath detect are incorporated into the overall alarm structure of the system. The values are stored in trend memory which can be printed on the network printers. The compact modular design reduces clutter while allowing modules to be easily moved between beds reducing department cost.
