The GE 2013427-001 CapnoFlex LF is a low‑flow sidestream CO₂ module that mounts to GE Dash 3000, 4000, and 5000 monitors to add full capnography capability, including numeric EtCO₂, inspired/expired CO₂, respiratory rate, and real‑time waveform display for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. Using non‑dispersive infrared (NDIR) LoFlo technology with a fixed sampling rate of about 50 mL/min, it delivers accurate CO₂ measurement (0–100 mmHg) with rapid response time and built‑in compensation for barometric pressure, O₂, N₂O, and common anesthetic agents, making it suitable for OR, ICU, PACU, and transport monitoring applications.
Key features
- Model / part number: CapnoFlex LF CO₂ Module, GE MPN 2013427-001 (various revisions C–G used with Dash 3000/4000/5000).
- Measurement performance: 0–100 mmHg CO₂ range; accuracy ±2 mmHg from 0–40 mmHg and ±5–8% of reading above 40 mmHg; respiration rate 0–150 BrPM with ±1 BrPM accuracy.
- Low‑flow sidestream system: Fixed sampling flow ~50 mL/min with response time <3 seconds and rise time <200 ms, suitable for intubated and non‑intubated patients.
- Environmental compensation: Automatic barometric pressure compensation (≈530–785 mmHg) plus configurable O₂ and N₂O compensation and tolerance to up to 5% halogenated anesthetic agents.
- Warm‑up and power: Initial CO₂ reading within ≈80 seconds and full specs within ≈3 minutes; powered directly by the host Dash monitor with max consumption under 2.5 W.
- Sampling disposables: Uses dedicated disposable sidestream sampling lines with integrated water trap to protect the analyzer from moisture and secretions
