P/N:412340-002 GE Mainstream CAPNOSTAT CO2 Sensor
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most abundant gas produced by the human
body. CO2 is the main driving force for breathing and the main
reason for mechanical ventilation of patients. Monitoring carbon
dioxide levels (capnograPHiliphhilipy) during breathing is
non-invasive, easy to use, relatively inexpensive, and has been
extensively studied.

Medical equipment is very dependent on the sensor industry, because
the biomass in the human body and the drugs and materials used for
treatment require sensor detection and online monitoring. The
article briefly introduces the application of medical oxygen
sensors, medical carbon dioxide sensors and other gas sensors in
various medical equipment.
Medical carbon dioxide sensor
At present, in the field of medical sensors, there are many
applications for medical carbon dioxide sensors. The more important
applications include ventilators, anesthetics and infant
incubators, which are used to monitor the vital signs of the human
body. At present, the main technical route of mainstream carbon
dioxide sensors is mainly the principle of non-dispersive infrared
(NDIR).
The second important application of medical carbon dioxide sensors
is to measure Helicobacter pylori (Hp). Hp can cause a variety of
gastric diseases, including superficial gastritis, gastric ulcer,
duodenal ulcer, and non-ulcer dyspepsia. In the end, gastric cancer
is the most serious. The easiest way to detect Hp clinically is to
take carbon-13-labeled or carbon-14-labeled urea. After taking it
for 10 to 15 minutes, the highly active urease produced by Hp in
the patient's body will decompose urea into ammonia (NH3), 13CO2 or
14CO2, and a small amount of 13CO2 or 14CO2 is excreted through the
blood through exhalation. By analyzing the concentration of 13CO2
or 14CO2 in the breath by the carbon dioxide sensor, it can be
judged whether the patient has Hp infection.
The third important application of the medical carbon dioxide
sensor is to measure the concentration of the human body at the end
of the expiration. When the human body is not holding its breath,
the concentration of carbon dioxide at the end of the expiration is
about 5.5% vol. The time point corresponding to 5.5% vol at the end
of expiration is the time reference for many medical measurements,
so it can accurately and quickly respond to the end of expiration,
which is a very valuable application of carbon dioxide sensors.
