Oridion Microcap Features
The Oridion Microcap is a portable capnograph that’s used for the continuous monitoring of EtCO2 (End-tidal carbon dioxide), FiCO2 (Fractional inspired carbon dioxide), and RR (Respiratory rate). It can display EtCO2 and FiCO2 in either mmHg, kPa, or Vol% and can provide output for a printer, PC, or digital-to-analog converter. This Oridion capnography monitor uses microstream non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy to monitor CO2 while breathing.
- Displays CO2 waveform, EtCO2 numerical value, and Respiratory rate or FiCO2.
- Can connect to communication adapter, printer, PC, digital to analog converter, nurse call system, and patient monitoring systems.
- Operating time is between 4 and 7 hours depending on device usage.
- Weighs 1.66 lbs with a battery.
Oridion Microcap Specifications
Dimensions
- Height: 8.11 in (20.6 cm)
- Width: 3.46 in (8.8 cm)
- Depth: 2.06 in (5.25 cm)
- Weight: 1.66 lbs. (0.75 kg)
Performance
- Sampling Rate: 50 ml/min.
- CO2 Range: 0-99 mmHg (0-13.2 kPa and 0-13.0 Vol%) at sea level
- EtCO2 Accuracy
- From power-up until steady state, the CO2 reading accuracy is:
- 0 – 38 mmHg: (±4 mmHg)
- 39 – 99 mmHg: (±12% of reading)
- CO2 reading reaches steady state accuracy 20 minutes after power up.
- 0 – 38 mmHg: (±2 mmHg)
- 39- 99 mmHg: (±5% of reading + 0.08% for every 1 mmHg above 40 mmHg)
- Equivalent values for kPa and Vol%
- From power-up until steady state, the CO2 reading accuracy is:
- Respiration Rate: 0-150 breaths/min.
- Warm-up Time: 30 seconds (typical)
Frequency Response
- EtCO2 accuracy is maintained up to 80 breaths/min. (For maintaining accuracy for respiration rate over 60 bpm, use the neonatal mode.) From 81 to 150 bpm accuracy is ±12%, if the EtCO2 is higher than 18.8 mmHg in neonatal mode.
System Response Time
- 2.45 seconds (typical), 2.9 seconds maximum (includes delay and rise time)
Rise Time
- Neonate: 190 msec with low dead space endotracheal tube adapter
- Adult: 240 msec with FilterLine airway adapter
Battery / Power
- External Power Source: 12V DC Medical Grade Adapter
- Internal Power Source: Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery Pack 7.2V 2.1 A/h
- Operating Time (fully charged): Between 4 and 7 hours, depending on power management. These values reflect the performance of a new battery; age and usage will decrease capacity.
- Recharging Period: Approximately 4.5 hours of internal recharging
