Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), EMC (IEC 60601-1-2), and performance testing (ISO 80601-2-55).
Technological Characteristics
Mainstream NDIR infrared spectroscopy sensor; 5.0 VDC power; Lemo Redel 8-pin connector; IPX2 water resistance; complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and ISO 80601-2-55. No direct patient-contacting components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring carbon dioxide monitoring during anesthesia, recovery, ICU care, emergency medicine, transport, or respiratory care.
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.

### 6. Device description
The ETCO2 Sensor is comprised of three main components, a sensor with photo detector and light emitter, cable and connector, The CO2 Sensor incorporates an infrared light source, of specified wavelength, and an infrared detector. The photo ETCO2 Sensor-510(k) Submission Page 1 of 4
{4}------------------------------------------------
detector and light emitter end of the CO2 sensor is connected to an airway adapter. The airway adapter is connected between the patient airway and the respirator. As the patient completes an expiratory breath the sensor measures the CO2 levels in the expiratory breath and sends that data to the compatible CO2 monitor. The monitor then reads the data and converts the data so it can be displayed on screen.
The ETCO2 sensor are described as follows:
