摘要:
A respiratory waveform analyzer, operable to analyze a respiratory waveform, which is generated based on a temporal change of a concentration of a component in respiratory gas of a subject, includes: a respiratory gas concentration generator which generates a concentration signal based on an output signal from a sensor that is placed to measure the concentration of the component; a flatness calculator which calculates a flatness indicative of flat degree of the respiratory waveform based on a temporal change of the concentration signal; and a reliability calculator which calculates a reliability of the respiratory waveform based on the flatness and the concentration signal.

A CO2 sensor includes: a sensing portion operable to change in color in accordance with a CO2 partial pressure in expiration from at least one of nares and a mouth of a living body; and a mounting member adapted to hold the sensing portion at a position where the expiration from the at least one of the nares and the mouth impinges on the sensing portion.
摘要:
A transparent sheet 11 for transmitting an infrared ray therethrough is formed by laminating a PET sheet 5 on which a anti-fogging layer 4 can be formed easily and a PP sheet 12 with good infrared ray transmission property, thereby to make the thickness of the transparent window larger.
摘要:
Windows 2 which allow infrared light to be transmitted therethrough are opened at opposed positions of side walls of a flow tube 1, respectively. A hexagonal frame 6 is air tightly attached to each of the apertures. Each frame 6 is protruded from the inner face of the flow tube 1. A transparent window on which an anti-fogging layer 5 is formed stretches on the inner face of each of the frame 6, so that waterdrops flowing through the flow tube 1 are caused to flow along both the sides of the frame 6, thereby preventing the waterdrops from flowing over the anti-fogging layer 5.
摘要:
In a sensor for detecting a carbon dioxide gas in an expiration gas of a living body, an airway case is adapted to be disposed below nostrils of the living body, and formed with an airway passage extending across an optical axis of a light beam emitted from a right emitter of the sensor. A mouth guide is adapted to be disposed in front of a mouth of the living body so as to define a space communicated with the airway passage. The mouth guide is pivotably supported on the airway case. A retainer is adapted to retain an oxygen supply tube on the airway adapter body in such an attitude that an oxygen gas supplied from prongs of the oxygen supply tube is not directly injected into the nostrils.

A capnometer includes an airway adaptor for introducing a respiratory gas into the analyzer, an infrared radiation source emitting infrared radiation passed through the airway adaptor, a beam splitter for reflecting and transmitting infrared radiation that impinges on the beam splitter, first detecting means for detecting the infrared radiation reflected by said beam splitter and transmitting through said beam splitter, second detecting means for detecting the infrared radiation reflected by said beam splitter and transmitting through said beam splitter; a gas cell filled with CO2 gas, said gas cell being located between one of said first and second detecting means and said beam splitter and processing means for processing a concentration of carbon dioxide gas by using output signals of said first and second detecting means.
摘要:
An airway adaptor that measures the concentration of at least one of a specific component and the flow rate of a supply gas and a return gas. The airway adapter may include a tube having a flow path in which the supply gas and the return gas passes. The tube may include a first end having a first aperture for guiding the supply gas into the flow path, and second end having a second aperture for guiding the return gas. Further, the airway adapter may include a measurement device operable to measure at least one of the supply gas and the return gas in the air flow path and a partial shielding disposed at the first aperture and structured to shield a portion of the air flow path. The supply gas may be a respiratory gas and the return gas may be inhaled or exhaled breath of a person.

摘要:
In an apparatus for measuring concentration of prescribed gas contained in subject gas, a light source is operable to emit infrared light. Airway adapter is adapted to introduce the subject gas, and to allow the infrared light emitted from the light source. A beam splitter is adapted to allow the infrared light which has passed through the airway adapter to be reflected and passed through. A first detector is operable to detect the infrared light which has reflected by the beam splitter. A second detector is operable to detect the infrared light which has passed through the beam splitter. An interference-type notch filter is disposed between the beam splitter and either the first detector or the second detector, the notch filter being adapted to cut a wavelength range of light which is absorbed by the prescribed gas.
