Siyazi ukuthi ngokwezindlela ezahlukene zokuthola igesi, i-CO₂ detector ihlukaniswe ngezinhlelo zokusebenza ezimbili: i-CO₂ mainstream probe kanye ne-CO₂ sidestream module. Uyini umehluko phakathi kwe-mainstream kanye ne-sidestream?

Ngamafuphi, umehluko oyinhloko phakathi kwe-mainstream ne-sidestream ukuthi kufanele iphambukise igesi isuke endleleni yomoya ukuze ihlaziywe. I-mainstream ayi-shunting, kanti i-mainstream CO₂ sensor ihlaziya ngqo igesi emgudwini womoya; I-sidestream iyashunting. I-module ye-CO₂ sidestream idinga ukukhipha igesi ephefumulwa yisiguli ukuze ithathwe isampula futhi ihlaziywe. Igesi ingathathwa isampula emakhaleni noma ku-catheter yomoya.

I-mainstream iwukulinganisa ngqo ukugeleza kwe-carbon dioxide ngepayipi lokuphefumula nge-probe ye-CO₂ eyinhloko bese ibika ukugcwala kwe-carbon dioxide ekugcineni. I-sidestream iwukupompa ingxenye yegesi ngepayipi lokuhlola iye kwimojuli yokuhlaziya ye-CO₂ eceleni ukuze kuhlaziywe umdwebo we-carbon dioxide bese kubikwa ukugcwala kwe-carbon dioxide ekugcineni.

Inzwa ye-CO₂ eyinhloko ye-MedLinket inezinzuzo zokonga izinto ezidliwayo, ukuqina kanye nokuthembeka okuphezulu

1. Kala ngqo endleleni yokuphefumula yesiguli

2. Isivinini sokuphendula okusheshayo kanye ne-CO₂ waveform ecacile

3. Akungcoliswanga yizinhlayiya zesiguli

4. Asikho isidingo sokwengeza isihlukanisi samanzi esengeziwe kanye nepayipi lokuhlola igesi

5. Isetshenziswa kakhulu ukuqapha iziguli ezifakwe ipayipi ezisebenzisa i-respirator njalo

Izinzuzo zemodyuli yesenzwa ye-CO₂ yokusakaza eceleni ye-MedLinket:

1. Igesi yokuphefumula yomuntu othathwe isampula imuncwa ngepayipi lokuhlola ngephampu yomoya

2. Imodyuli yokuhlaziya igesi ikude kakhulu nesiguli

3. Ngemva kokudluliselwa, ingafakwa ezigulini ezifakwe ipayipi

4. Isetshenziswa kakhulu ekuqapheni iziguli ezingafakwanga ugesi isikhathi esifushane: umnyango wezimo eziphuthumayo, ukudambisa isiguli ngesikhathi sokuhlinzwa, igumbi lokululama le-anesthesia

I-MedLinket inikeza uhlelo lokuqapha lwe-EtCO₂ olungabizi kakhulu lomtholampilo. Lo mkhiqizo uxhumekile futhi udlala, futhi usebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obuthuthukisiwe be-infrared obungeyona i-spectroscopic, obungalinganisa ukuhlushwa kwe-CO₂ okusheshayo, izinga lokuphefumula, inani le-CO₂ lokuphefumula ekugcineni kanye nokuhlushwa kwe-CO₂ okuphefumulelwe kwento evivinyiwe. Imikhiqizo ehlobene ne-CO₂ ifaka i-module ejwayelekile ye-EtCO₂, i-module eseceleni ye-EtCO₂ kanye ne-module eseceleni ye-EtCO₂; Izesekeli ze-module ejwayelekile ye-CO₂ zifaka ama-adapter omoya weziguli ezingashadile zabantu abadala nezingane, kanti izesekeli ze-module eseceleni ye-EtCO₂ zifaka i-CO₂ nasal sampling tube, i-gas path sampling tube, i-adapter, indebe yokuqoqa amanzi, njll.
