The C500 mainstream ETCO2 sensor is the best mainstream ETCO2 sensor sold on the market. It just needs 3 seconds to warm up. C500 can recognise all kinds of adapters, no matter new or old adapters. Even if the adapter is dewing formoisture, C500 still can get the accurate CO2 values.The C500 is designed specifically for mainstream measurement of CO2 using sophisticated infrared absorption spectroscopy. the measurements are taken at the patient airway at a sampling frequency of 100 Hz, so response is faster and there is less chance of erroneous, artifact data. It uses the same interface to the patient monitoring system as the C300 Sidestream CO2 Module making it easy to configure a patient monitoring system with CO2 monitoring technology that is affordable and easy to use. | |

● Response is faster and there is less chance of erroneous, artifact data. ● There are no pumping or pneumatic components to replace thus maintenance requirements and overall cost-of -ownership are minimized. ● Better policy of after service. Manufacturer promises that the module can be replaced by a new one if it is not damaged by man-made in one year. ● Long-lasting life for the infrared light receiver. |
