Overview Principles of Operation FilterLine Pulse Oximetry Displays, Controls and Connectors
The monitor combines Oridion’s Microstream capnography technology with Nellcor pulse oximetry technology.
Principles of Operation Capnography The monitor uses Microstream non–dispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy to continuously measure the amount of CO2 during every breath, the amount of CO2 present at the end of exhalation (EtCO2) and during inhalation (FiCO2), and the Respiratory Rate. Infrared spectroscopy is used to measure the concentration of molecules that absorb infrared light. Because the absorption is proportional to the concentration of the absorbing molecule, the concentration can be determined by comparing its absorption to that of a known standard. The Microstream EtCO2 consumables deliver a sample of the inhaled and exhaled gases from the ventilator consumable or directly from the patient (via an oral/nasal cannula) into the monitor for CO2 measurement. Moisture and patient secretions are extracted from the sample, while maintaining the shape of the CO2 waveform. The 50 ml/min. sampling flow rate reduces liquid and secretion accumulation, decreasing the risk of obstruction in the sample pathway in humid ICU environments. Once inside the Microstream CO2 sensor, the gas sample goes through a micro-sample cell (15 microliters). This extremely small volume is quickly flushed, allowing for fast rise time and accurate CO2 readings, even at high respiration rates. The Micro Beam IR source illuminates the micro-sample cell and the reference cell. This proprietary IR light source generates only the specific wavelengths characteristic of the CO2 absorption spectrum. Portable Bedside Capnograph/Pulse Oximeter

Overview
Therefore, no compensations are required when different concentrations of N2O, O2, anesthetic agents and water vapor are present in the inhaled and exhaled breath. The IR that passes through the micro-sample cell and the IR that passes through the reference cell are measured by the IR detectors. The microcomputer in the monitor calculates the CO2 concentration by comparing the signals from both channels. Microstream EtCO2 Consumables The following products comprise the Microstream EtCO2 consumables: Sample Lines and Airway Adapter Sets for Intubated Patients:
• FilterLine Set (for non–humid environments). • FilterLine H set (for humid environments). Nasal Cannulas for Non-intubated patients:
• Smart CapnoLine Plus – for use in procedural sedation. Also available with O2 delivery.
• Smart CapnoLine H Plus – for use in post-op pain management. Also available with O2 delivery.
• CapnoLine H – for patients receiving hi–flow oxygen by mask , on long term CPAP or Bi-PAP, or post-op pain management. Also available with O2 delivery.
• NIV Line – for use under oxygen CPAP, Bi–PAP or NPPV mask.
• Smart BiteBloc – for use during upper endoscopy procedures. Note:
Smart products provide oral and nasal sampling. H products are for long term use.

FilterLine
FilterLine The FilterLine has five active elements that work together to offer a solution to the problems that have previously proved challenging to capnography in ICU, emergency, and intra-transport applications. These elements are:
• Hydrophobic filter
•
•
•
•
The hydrophobic filter is located at the end of the sample line that is closest to the capnograph. This filter strips the remaining water vapor from the gas sample while keeping a laminar flow of the gas. This laminar flow minimizes distortion of the CO2 waveform. Drying element The drying element is a tube made of a synthetic material that is extremely chemically stable and has high water absorption. This material allows the water vapor to pass outside the tube, thereby adjusting the humidity inside the FilterLine close to the level of humidity in the ambient air. Sample line The sample line has low dead space due to its small internal diameter. This provides a sharp waveform and an accurate CO2 reading at a high breath rate per minute. The sample line is not affected by gases and anesthetic agents in the operating room environment. FilterLine Recognition Safeguard When the FilterLine is attached to the monitor, the FilterLine Recognition Safeguard (FRS) identifies the FilterLine and activates the pump, thus enabling measuring. Airway Adapter The airway adapter design provides multiple channels for the sampled air from the airway minimizing the possibility of water infiltration or line blockage. These multiple channels allow uninterrupted monitoring for all adapter orientations and in all applications. The airway adapter provides optimal performance in all directions and is seldom disabled by secretions or liquids.

Overview
Pulse Oximetry Operating Principles Pulse oximetry is based on two principles: 1) oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin, which differ in their absorption of red and infrared light (spectrophotometry), and 2) changes in the volume of arterial blood in tissue during the pulse cycle (plethysmography), and hence, light absorption by that blood. A pulse oximeter determines SpO2 by passing red and infrared light into an arteriolar bed and measures changes in light absorption during the pulsatile cycle. Red and infrared lowpower lightemitting diodes (LEDs) in the oximetry sensor serve as light sources; a photodiode serves as the photodetector. Because oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin differ in light absorption, the amount of red and infrared light absorbed by blood is related to hemoglobin oxygen saturation. To identify the oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin, the monitor uses the pulsatile nature of arterial flow. During systole, a new pulse of arterial blood enters the vascular bed and blood volume and light absorption increase. During diastole, blood volume and light absorption reach their lowest point. The monitor bases its SpO2 measurements on the difference between maximum and minimum absorption (measurements at systole and diastole). The focus of light absorption by pulsatile arterial blood eliminates the effects of nonpulsatile absorbers such as tissue, bone, and venous blood.

Pulse Oximetry
Automatic Calibration Because light absorption by hemoglobin is wavelength dependent and because the mean wavelength of LEDs varies, an oximeter must know the mean wavelength of the sensor's red LED to accurately measure SpO2. During monitoring, the instrument's software selects coefficients that are appropriate for the wavelength of that individual sensor's red LED. These coefficients are then used to determine SpO2. Additionally, to compensate for differences in tissue thickness, the light intensity of the sensor's LEDs is adjusted automatically. Functional versus Fractional Saturation This monitor measures functional saturation–oxygenated hemoglobin expressed as a percentage of the hemoglobin that can transport oxygen. It does not detect significant amounts of dysfunctional hemoglobin, such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin. In contrast, laboratory hemoximeters report fractional saturation– oxygenated hemoglobin expressed as a percentage of all measured hemoglobin, including measured dysfunctional hemoglobins. To compare functional saturation measurements to those from an instrument that measures fractional saturation, fractional measurements must be converted as follows: Measured versus Calculated Saturation When saturation is calculated from a blood gas partial pressure of oxygen (PO2), the calculated value may differ from the SpO2 measurement of a pulse oximeter. This usually occurs because the calculated saturation was not appropriately corrected for the effects of variables that shift the relationship between PO2 and saturation: pH, temperature, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2), 2,3-DPG, and fetal hemoglobin. Use of Functional Testers and Patient Simulators Some models of commercially available bench top functional testers and patient simulators can be used to verify the proper functionality of Nellcor pulse oximeter sensors, cables and monitors.
