Nellcor Adult/Pediatric Colorimetric CO2 Detector
To help verify endotracheal tube placement
With the Nellcor adult/pediatric colorimetric CO2detector clinicians can confirm proper endotracheal tube (ETT) placement by assessing exhaled CO2. The detector attaches directly to the endotracheal tube and responds quickly to exhaled CO2 by changing from purple to yellow.
- Latex-free
- Reliable carbon dioxide detectors help verify endotracheal tube placement
- Responds quickly to exhaled CO2 with a color change from purple to yellow
- Breath-to-breath response
- Constant visual feedback for up to two hours
A trusted method to confirm correct endotracheal tube placement
For years, clinicians like you have relied on the Nellcor adult/ pediatric colorimetric CO2 detector to verify proper endotracheal (ET) tube placement. Its how you know your patient is intubated
properly right from the start - and throughout transport.
This easy-to-use CO2 detector attaches directly to the ET tube and responds quickly to exhaled CO2 by changing from purple to yellow. Whether youre intubating patients in the ED, the ICU,
or the field, Nellcor adult/pediatric CO2 detectors provide an economical yet invaluable airway management tool.
The Nellcor adult/pediatric colorimetric CO2 detector:
- Detects exhaled CO2 levels during intubation for up to two hours
- Displays constant and easy-tosee visual feedback with breathto-breath response
- Uses the familiar purple-to-yellow color scheme clinicians have used for years
- Helps assess CPR effectiveness
A cost-effective way to meet published guidelines
Clinical guidelines and standards from major health organizations state that CO2 detection should be an adjunctto clinical assessment during verification of correct ET tube placement. These organizations include:
- American Heart Associ
- ation
- American Association for Respiratory Care
- American Society of Anesthesiologists
