The ISA sidestream analyzers are available as stand- alone “plug - in and measure” analyzers or
build-in modules.
ISA CO
2
The ISA CO
2
analyzers are low flow sidestream gas analyzers, designed for routine clinical use in
environments that place special demands on the product’s ruggedness. Its low power
consumption and fast rise-time makes the ISA CO
2
ideal for any application, ranging from the OR
and ICU to transport monitoring of animals.
ISA AX+ and ISA OR+
The ISA AX+ are low flow sidestream multi-gas analyzers designed to monitor respiratory
concentrations of CO
2
, N
2
O, and gas mixtures containing any two of the five anesthetic agents
Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane, Sevoflurane, and Desflurane in the OR and the ICU. Its low
sampling flow and low agent identification threshold makes the ISA AX+ a perfect choice for
animal applications, as well as for the monitoring of infant animals with low tidal volumes and
high respiratory rates.
ISA OR+ sidestream analyzer offers the same features as ISA AX+, with the addition of oxygen
measurement capabilities by means of an integrated paramagnetic O2 sensor.
Nomoline Family sampling lines
Nomoline Family sampling lines incorporate a unique water separation ( NOMO isture) section,
which removes condensed water. The NOMO section also incorporates a bacteria filter which
protects the gas analyzer from water intrusion and cross contamination.
The design of the Nomoline Family sampling lines ensures a smooth, uninterrupted sample gas
flow resulting in gas measurements with short response times.
Sampling
A sidestream gas analyzer continuously removes a gas sample flow from the respiratory circuit,
for example a nasal cannula, a respiratory mask or the Y-piece of an intubated animal. The gas
sample is fed through a sampling line to the gas analyzer. The sampled gas is usually warm and
humid and cools down in contact with the wall of the sampling line. Water therefore condenses in
the form of droplets on the inner wall of the sampling line. These droplets could potentially
occlude the sampling line and interfere with the gas measurement.
