Capnography

From WikiCover

On June 29, 2007, Nonin Medical announced FDA clearance of the LifeSense capnograph/pulse oximeter. LifeSense combines capnography and pulse oximetry into one easy-to-use device.

Key features of LifeSense are its widescreen LCD display, portability, and lightness. Like Nonin oximeters, the LifeSense capnograph comes equipped with Nonin's PureSAT technology which enables accurate readings and rapid response time.

The LifeSense is intended for use in settings such as acute care, emergency medical services, intensive care units and during procedural sedation. Nonin also offers this capnography (EtCO2) technology to OEM (original equipment manufacturers) with the MaCO2 board. Capnography is recommended and listed in the recent JCAHO standards and guidelines as well as those of ACEP, AARC, AHA, ASA, AAP, and AAAPSF.
