Covidien Capnostream 35 Portable Respiratory Monitor

The Capnostream 35 delivers continuous respiratory monitoring across all patient populations, from neonates to adults, using advanced capnography that works with both intubated and spontaneously breathing patients. Unlike basic pulse oximetry, it tracks etCO2, SpO2, respiration rate, and pulse rate simultaneously, giving you the complete respiratory picture during transport and in-hospital care.

The integrated Pulmonary Index algorithm condenses complex respiratory data into a single numerical score, making patient assessment faster during critical situations. Smart alarm management cuts down on false alarms while the Apnea-Sat Alert specifically tracks recurring episodes that standard monitors might miss. Worth noting: the wireless Vital Sync connectivity means patient data follows seamlessly from transport through admission.

At 2.2 pounds with shockproof construction rated to 1.25 meters, it handles the reality of transport medicine. Hot-swap batteries and three-hour runtime mean monitoring doesn’t stop for power changes, while the 4.3-inch color touchscreen stays readable in varying light conditions.
