8.1 Measurement using the mainstream technique
To measure the CO
2
concentration using main stream technique, a
MASIMO IRMA™ CO
2
measuring probe is inserted into the tube
system. The advantage of this technique is that the entire air volume is
measured without any volume loss. The mainstream technique uses a
MASIMO IRMA™ CO
2
analyzer.
8.1.1 Intended use
The IRMA™ CO
2
analyzer can be connected to a patient ventilation
system for real-time measurement of the CO
2
concentration. The probe is
designed for use both in EMS and ICU settings. The device is suitable for
adults, children, and infants and can be used in the OR, the ICU, the
patient's room, and emergency medicine settings.

analyzer
The IRMA™ CO
2
analyzer is not designed for use as a standalone patient
monitoring device. It must always be used in combination with other
systems for monitoring the vital signs and/or together with professional
patient observation.
