Patient Safety

The DualGuard™ improves patient safety and meets current guidelines for consciously sedated patients.^1,2,3

Patient Comfort

The Comfort Rest Bite Block fits securely in the mouth, protecting both endoscope and patients’ teeth.

Oxygen Delivery

Simultaneous oral and nasal O₂ delivery and CO₂ sampling for patients undergoing upper GI endoscopy, in either a lateral or supine position.

Universal Connections

The 22/15mm connectors can be used with ET tubes, laryngeal masks or anaesthesia face masks.

Hydrophobic Filter

The filter protects the capnometer from condensation and contamination.

Fixed Line

The pre-assembled monitoring line avoids the risk of accidental detachment and saves time in critical clinical situations.

Choice of Luer

Available in male, female and slip luer.

Improved Accessibility

3m monitoring line enables connection to the capnometer even when the patient is at a distance.

Capnography provides the following vital information:

– Hypoventilation and hyperventilation
– Confirming, maintaining and assisting intubation
– Return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)
– Measures cardiac output and chest compression effectiveness during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)

The European Resuscitation Council Guidelines for Resuscitation (2010)

Wavefom capnography is the most sensitive and specific way to confirm and continuously monitor the position of a tracheal tube in victims of cardiac arrest and should supplement clinical assessment and that this may also provide information on the efficiency of chest compressions and can give an early indication of return of spontaneous circulation”, that may be useful to guide the management of respiratory and/or circulatory failure.

Easy Fit with Good Seal

The soft, pliable mask moulds easily to the patient’s face, with a feathered-edge rim provides maximum comfort

Independently Tested

Dual Mask has been proven to be the most efficient in sampling end tidal CO₂ in an independent comparative study¹ in a simulated patient.

Microstream™ Compatibility

Dual products with a microstream type luer connector filter are compatible with capnography monitors and multiparameter monitors equipped with Microstream technology.

Comfort and Security

Attached to the swivel connector, the oxygen tubing and monitoring line are lightly bonded together, but can be separated to reach the flow meter and capnometer, minimising clutter around the patient.
