Nellcor Pedi-Cap Pediatric CO2 Detector
Colorimetric CO2 Detector - Patients 1 to 15 kg - 2 Hour Usage Time

The Nellcor Pedi-Cap is a pediatric colorimetric CO2 detector that helps clinicians verify proper endotracheal tube (ETT) placement by assessing exhaled CO2. It attaches directly to the endotracheal tube and responds quickly to exhaled CO2 with a visible colour change from purple to yellow, giving a fast visual check of tube placement without additional monitoring equipment. The Pedi-Cap is sized for pediatric patients weighing 1 to 15 kg, with a low internal volume of 3 cc and a low resistance to flow of 2.5 cm H2O at 10 L/min. The patient end has a 15 mm ID and 18 mm OD, and the detector has a usage time of 2 hours. The Pedi-Cap is suited to emergency departments, pediatric and neonatal units, operating rooms, EMS and any setting where pediatric intubation is performed.
