Key Uses & Applications
The primary use of the MS-35601A is for capnography, which is the monitoring of end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) in a patient's breath.
This is crucial for healthcare professionals to:
Assess Ventilation: Determine how effectively a patient is breathing and exchanging gases.
Monitor Perfusion: Help evaluate blood flow and circulation.
Confirm Airway Placement: Verify that a breathing tube is correctly placed in the trachea (windpipe).
Guide CPR: Monitor the effectiveness of chest compressions during resuscitation.
It is designed for use in a wide range of clinical settings, including:
Hospitals (Critical Care, Emergency Departments)
Acute Care Facilities
Prehospital (EMS/Ambulance)
Key Features
Here are the specific features that define the MS-35601A:
Dual Function: Its main feature is the ability to simultaneously sample CO2 and deliver oxygen through the same device.
Nasal/Oral Sampling: It includes both nasal prongs (nares) and a "sampling scoop" for the mouth. This dual design ensures an accurate CO2 reading even if the patient is a "mouth breather" or switching between nasal and oral breathing.
Connectors:
CO2 Line: An orange luer connector (often described as reflective) connects to a sidestream capnography monitor.
Oxygen Line: A universal connector fits standard oxygen delivery systems.
Patient Comfort:
Made from a soft PVC material.
Features a "Softed Tear Shaped Scoop" that rests away from the patient's lip for increased comfort.
Tubing: Comes with 7 feet (7ft) of kink-resistant tubing, providing flexibility and a reliable connection.
Built-in Filter: Includes a button filter to prevent moisture and contaminants from the patient's breath from entering and damaging the monitoring equipment.
Material: It is DEHP-free and not made with natural rubber latex, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
Disposability: It is a disposable, single-patient-use item to ensure hygiene and prevent cross-contamination.
