Functional scope
The gas analyzer samples inhaled and exhaled gases from adult
and pediatric patients in non-, partial-, and total rebreathing sys-
tems. It measures inspiratory and expiratory gases and communi-
cates in real time to the patient monitor.
The gas analyzer is available in 4 variants with different functions

Functional principles
The gas analyzer utilizes IR spectroscopy for carbon dioxide,
nitrous oxide, and volatile anesthetics measurement. Each gas,
with its own specific absorption characteristic, is transported
through a sample cell. Multiple optical IR filters select specific
bands of IR light, which then are analyzed with a detector. The
amount of IR light received by the detector is a measure of gas
concentration. This means the higher the gas concentration, the
less IR light will be received by the detector.
For oxygen measurement, the paramagnetic characteristic of oxy-
gen molecules is used. The gas is transported through a sample
cell, where the paramagnetic effect of oxygen is measured. The
higher the oxygen concentration, the greater is the measured
effect.
WARNING
Risk due to inaccurate gas measurement values.
For the variants Scio Four and Scio Four Oxi only.
Use care when setting agent ID manually on the patient
monitor. Measurements will be inaccurate if the wrong
agent ID is selected.
