| Device Class | Class 2 |
Intended Use
The C-CO2 colorimetric carbon dioxide indicator provides a semi-quantitative visualization of the CO2 in the patient airway or in the gas exhaled from a patient. It is an adjunct to clinical assessment when verifying correct ET tube placement and respiration.
Device Story
Non-sterile, single-use, colorimetric CO2 indicator; features integral luer-lock connector for placement between tracheal tube and breathing circuit. Device utilizes pressure in breathing circuit to divert low flow of exhaled gas through indicator; colorimetric media changes color based on CO2 concentration (blue: no CO2; green: intermediate; yellow: ~5% CO2). Used in hospital and transport settings by clinicians. Provides breath-by-breath visual feedback; assists in verifying ET tube placement and monitoring patient ventilation. Permanent blue/blue-green indicates absence of exhaled CO2; permanent yellow/white indicates device damage. Does not require external power; unaffected by normal breathing gases, anesthetic gases, or water vapor.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Colorimetric chemical indicator media; luer-lock connector; single-use; non-sterile. Operates via passive gas flow driven by breathing circuit pressure. No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with tidal volume ≥150ml, minute volume ≥3L/minute, and breathing rate ≤35 breaths per minute to verify ET tube placement and respiration.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A carbon dioxide gas analyzer is a device intended to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide in a gas mixture to aid in determining the patient's ventilatory, circulatory, and metabolic status. The device may use techniques such as chemical titration, absorption of infrared radiation, gas chromatography, or mass spectrometry.

| Device Description: | A non-sterile, single use, colorimetric carbon dioxide<br>indicator with integral luer-lock connector, for placement in<br>a gas sampling ported component, located between a<br>tracheal tube and the breathing circuit, to detect exhaled<br>CO2.<br>Pressure in the breathing circuit causes a low flow of<br>breathing gas to pass into and through the indicator and<br>vent to the atmosphere. The colorimetric media in the<br>center window of the device indicates the presence of<br>carbon dioxide in exhaled breath on a breath-by-breath<br>basis.<br>The colorimetric media in the center window is blue when<br>no carbon dioxide is present, green at intermediate<br>concentrations and yellow when approximately 5% carbon<br>dioxide is present. A breath-by-breath color change reflects<br>ventilation of the patient. A permanent blue or blue-green<br>color indicates absence of exhaled carbon dioxide. A<br>damaged indicator will exhibit a permanent yellow or white<br>color.<br>The indicator has a color scale against which the actual<br>color may be compared to provide an approximate carbon<br>dioxide concentration. Normal breathing gases, anesthetic<br>gases, or water vapor do not affect the indicator. |
