A Trusted Method for Confirming Correct Endotracheal Tube Placement
For years hospital and emergency medical services clinicians have relied on Nellcor Easy Cap II and Pedi-Cap CO2 Detectors to verify proper ET tube placement. These CO2 detectors assure you that your patient is intubated properly right from the start – and remains that way during transport.
- Attach directly to ET tube to indicate exhaled CO2 levels during intubation for up to 2 hours.
- Respond quickly to exhaled CO2 with a simple color change from purple to yellow.
- Features an easy-to-see display window that provides constant visual feedback with breath-to breath response.
- Aid assessment of CPR effectiveness
