Technology Overview
Introduction
The Capnostream bedside monitor provides accurate, continuous capnography and pulse oximetry monitoring
for intubated and non-intubated patients from neonate to adult. Using Microstream
®
technology, patented
FilterLine
®
etCO
2
consumables, and pulse oximetry technology, Capnostream allows for simultaneous "hassle
free" etCO
2
and SpO
2
monitoring.
Features
•
Dual parameter monitor that supports the current standard of care providing CO
2
and SpO
2
measurements
•
Integrated Pulmonary Index™ (IPI), which provides a simple, clear, and comprehensive indication of a
patient’s ventilatory status and trends
•
Apneas per Hour and Oxygen Desaturation Index, indices used to help in the identification and
quantification of apnea and oxygen desaturation events (if available)
•
Simple user interface with color screen
•
Routine functions are accessed with 2 clicks

Technology Overview
This section provides a basic overview of Capnography and Pulse Oximetry.
What is Capnography?
Capnography is a non-invasive method for monitoring the level of carbon dioxide in exhaled breath (etCO
2
) to
assess a patient’s ventilatory status.
Capnostream uses Microstream
®
non–dispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy to continuously measure the
amount of CO
2
during every breath, the amount of CO
2
present at the end of exhalation (etCO
2
), the amount of
CO
2
present during inhalation (FiCO
2
), and the Respiratory Rate.
