Managing Patient Safety
- Provides prompt notification of critical ventilator events with easily visible alarms
- Ensures continuous operation with a “hot swap” main battery and internal backup battery
- Incorporates dual HEPA filter protection for both patient and ventilator
- Delivers continuous CO2 monitoring with cap-ONE during NPPV therapy
CO2 monitoring with cap-ONE® mask
Capnography, the measurement, and waveform display of carbon dioxide (CO2), has been used for decades to gauge the patient’s status and guide therapy, providing clinicians meaningful data in their care of patients.
An article published, in July 2020, compared measured CO2 values obtained from the cap-ONE mask and the conventional method to the known CO2 value. The NPPV cap-ONE® mask as compared to the conventional method was within about 6 mmHg of the actual value, while the conventional method was within about 24 mmHg of the actual value, showing that the CO2 measurement accuracy of the NPPV cap-ONE mask system may be better compared to the airway adapter system.1
A recent study by Sakuraya, et. al. described Nihon Kohden’s innovative NPPV (Non-invasive Positive Pressure) cap-ONE® masks as the first-of-its-kind interface for non-invasive ventilation (NIV) that facilitates the monitoring of exhaled carbon dioxide (ETCO2).2
