Good handheld capnograph
Confirms tube placement rapidly and the trend view helps titrate ventilation during anaesthesia. Battery life is adequate rather than generous.

Clinical overview
The CA10M capnograph employs mainstream capnography methodology to measure end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2), airway respiration rate, and related parameters. By detecting pulmonary ventilation function, it reflects circulation and pulmonary blood flow conditions, while indirectly assessing alveolar ventilation. This makes it ideal for pre-hospital emergency transfer, emergency departments, ICUs, operating rooms, neonatology units, and respiratory departments.
The device connects to the patient's respiratory tract via an airway adapter and breathing tube, providing continuous, non-invasive monitoring across adult, pediatric, and neonatal populations. Its compact form factor (55×52×59 mm, 97 g with batteries) and user-friendly display enable rapid deployment in time-critical settings without compromising measurement accuracy or clinical reliability.

Customer reviews
4.3· 3 reviewsReliable capnography on the move
The waveform is crisp and end-tidal CO2 values respond quickly to ventilation changes, which is exactly what I want during transfers. Warm-up is short enough for emergency use.
Dr. Angela Trent, MDVerified buyerAug 8, 2024
Compact and dependable
Fits neatly in a resus grab bag and the mainstream sensor stays accurate after repeated use. The alarm volume could be a shade louder in a noisy ambulance.
