Alaris CareFusion 8300 EtCO₂ Module

The Alaris CareFusion 8300 EtCO₂ Module enhances patient safety by providing continuous, real-time capnography monitoring within the Alaris PC Unit platform. Using Oridion’s patented Microstream® non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy, this sidestream capnography module measures end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO₂), inspired CO₂ (FiCO₂), and respiratory rate for every breath. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Alaris infusion pumps, the EtCO₂ module delivers precise monitoring to support opioid safety, sedation management, and ventilatory assessment across all patient populations.

Key Features and Benefits

• Continuous Capnography Monitoring: Accurately measures EtCO₂, FiCO₂, and respiratory rate on a breath-by-breath basis to assess ventilation and metabolic status.
• Oridion Microstream® Technology: Patented NDIR spectroscopy and 15 μL micro-sample cell provide consistent readings using minimal gas volumes, ideal for low tidal volumes and all patient sizes.
• Integrated with Alaris PC Unit: Functions as a plug-and-play monitoring module compatible with Guardrails™ Suite MX software for infusion safety and data integration.
• Opioid Safety Support: Enables early detection of respiratory depression during PCA and sedation therapy, reducing risk of adverse events.
• Flexible Sampling Options: Compatible with sidestream sampling lines designed for intubated or non-intubated patients, available with or without supplemental oxygen delivery.
• Low Maintenance Operation: Microstream design eliminates moving parts, external sensors, and routine calibration for reduced cost of ownership.
• Customizable Profiles: Allows configuration across multiple care areas, from general floor monitoring to intensive care and procedural sedation.
• Data Integration and Analytics: Works with Guardrails™ CQI Reporter and wireless data ports to convert monitoring data into actionable clinical insights.
• Compact and Lightweight: Modular design attaches directly to the Alaris PC Unit for a streamlined OR or bedside setup.

Clinical Applications

The Alaris 8300 EtCO₂ Module supports continuous respiratory monitoring across diverse clinical environments:

• Postoperative Care: Detects hypoventilation and respiratory depression in patients receiving opioid analgesia or PCA therapy.
• Procedural Sedation: Monitors ventilation during endoscopy, interventional radiology, or anesthesia procedures.
• Critical Care: Integrates EtCO₂ trends with infusion data for patients on ventilators or during weaning.
• Emergency and Transport: Provides reliable sidestream monitoring in prehospital or ED settings.
• General Care Units: Expands early warning capabilities for patients at risk of respiratory compromise.
