CA10S Veterinary Capnograph - CO2 Monitor SpO2 ETCO2

Professional-Grade Monitoring for Veterinary Excellence

When every breath matters, veterinary professionals need monitoring equipment they can trust. The CA10S Handheld Veterinary Capnograph delivers hospital-grade CO2 and SpO2 monitoring in a portable, user-friendly design specifically engineered for animal patients. Whether you're managing anesthesia in surgery, monitoring critical care patients in ICU, or responding to pre-hospital emergencies, this advanced sidestream capnograph provides the precise, real-time data you need to make life-saving decisions with confidence.

Why Veterinary Professionals Choose the CA10S

Comprehensive Multi-Parameter Monitoring: Unlike basic monitors, the CA10S simultaneously tracks End-Tidal CO2 (EtCO2), Airway Respiration Rate (AwRR), SpO2, and Pulse Rate. This integrated approach gives you a complete picture of your patient's respiratory and circulatory status, enabling early detection of complications before they become critical.

Sidestream Technology Advantage: The sidestream sampling method continuously draws small gas samples from the breathing circuit, providing accurate measurements without adding dead space or resistance to the patient's airway. This makes it ideal for small animals and exotic pets where every milliliter of tidal volume counts.

Portable Power for Any Setting: With an 8-hour rechargeable lithium battery, the CA10S goes wherever your patients need you—from the operating room to the ambulance, from the ICU to field emergencies. The compact 159 x 72 x 31mm design and lightweight 270g construction won't weigh down your emergency kit.

Solving Critical Veterinary Challenges

Challenge: Anesthesia Monitoring Complications
Solution: Real-time EtCO2 monitoring immediately alerts you to hypoventilation, circuit disconnection, or airway obstruction, allowing instant intervention before hypoxia develops.

Challenge: Assessing Pulmonary Function
Solution: Capnography provides direct visualization of alveolar ventilation and indirectly reflects pulmonary blood flow, helping diagnose conditions from pulmonary embolism to cardiac arrest.

Challenge: Multi-Patient Monitoring Costs
Solution: The portable design allows one monitor to serve multiple treatment areas, reducing capital equipment costs while maintaining monitoring standards.

Challenge: Emergency Response Limitations
Solution: Battery operation and compact size make this monitor perfect for ambulance transport and field stabilization where AC power isn't available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What animal sizes can this monitor be used on?
A: The CA10S is suitable for all veterinary patients from small exotic pets to large animals. The sidestream sampling method adapts to different tidal volumes, though very small patients (under 2kg) may require special consideration for sampling rate.

Q: How often does the sampling tube need replacement?
A: Replace the sampling tube with filter cotton when the "Checking Filterline" prompt appears, or if you notice moisture accumulation or reduced sampling efficiency. Typical lifespan varies by usage but expect replacement every 10-20 procedures.

Q: Can this be used with any anesthesia machine?
A: Yes, the sidestream sampling tube connects to standard breathing circuits and works with all anesthesia delivery systems. It's non-invasive to your existing setup.

Q: Does it require calibration before each use?
A: The monitor has a 2-minute preheat period and performs automatic calibration. User zero calibration is available but not required for every use—typically needed only during initial setup or if accuracy concerns arise.

Q: What happens if the battery dies during a procedure?
A: The low battery alarm provides advance warning. Additionally, you can operate the monitor while charging via USB, ensuring uninterrupted monitoring during critical procedures.

Q: Is the SpO2 probe included?
A: The SpO2 function requires a compatible blood oxygen probe (sold separately). The monitor is ready to pair with standard veterinary SpO2 sensors.

Q: How do I interpret the EtCO2 readings?
A: Normal EtCO2 for most animals ranges from 35-45 mmHg. Values below 35 suggest hyperventilation or decreased CO2 production; values above 45 indicate hypoventilation or increased CO2 production. Always interpret in clinical context.

Q: Can alarm limits be customized for different species?
A: Yes, all alarm parameters (EtCO2, respiration rate, SpO2, pulse rate) have adjustable upper and lower limits, allowing you to set species-appropriate thresholds.
