Meditech MDET7 External side stream ETCO2

Compact external side‑stream ETCO2 module designed for integration with patient monitors and respiratory equipment. The unit uses side‑stream sampling and non‑dispersive infrared (NDIR) gas analysis to deliver continuous end‑tidal CO2 monitoring suitable for operating rooms, ICUs and transport monitoring.

Key features

• Sensor type: Side‑stream sampling
• Measurement principle: Non‑dispersive infrared (NDIR) CO2 analysis
• CO2 measurement range: 0 to 20 kPa (approx. 0–150 mmHg)
• CO2 accuracy (specified ranges):
  • 0–40 mmHg: ±2 mmHg
  • 41–70 mmHg: ±5% of reading
  • 71–100 mmHg: ±8% of reading
  • 101–150 mmHg: ±10% of reading
  • Heart rates above 80 BPM: ±12% of reading
• Power: 5 V ±15% (maximum ripple 200 mVp‑p)
• Power consumption: typical 120 mA (standby/normal); up to 280 mA during calibration/measurement peaks
• Environmental:
  • Operating: 5 °C to 50 °C, 10–90% RH, non‑condensing
  • Storage: −40 °C to 70 °C, <90% RH, non‑condensing
  • Atmospheric pressure: 86–106 kPa
• Compatibility: stated compatible with Respironics LoFlo C5

Benefits for purchasers

• Compact side‑stream design allows flexible placement and easy integration into existing monitoring systems
• NDIR technology provides stable, repeatable CO2 measurements across clinical ranges
• Wide storage and operating temperature ranges support use in varied clinical and transport conditions

Applications

• End‑tidal CO2 monitoring for anesthesia, procedural sedation, ICU and patient transport
• OEM integration into patient monitors or ventilators that accept external ETCO2 modules

Notes

• Resolution figure not provided in the available specifications. Confirm interface connector and communication protocol with the supplier prior to integration if required for OEM installations.
