Acute care and monitoring
Microstream™ capnography monitoring system
Designed for early detection of changes in patient ventilation.
Powerful insights with every breath
Keeping patients safe is at the core of all you do. And whether you’re performing a routine procedure, in an emergency situation, or monitoring on the floor, our technologies help you accurately track your patient's respiratory status.
Get the critical insights you need with the Microstream™ capnography monitoring system so you can intervene quickly to reduce patient risks.1

A complete system designed for early detection of changes in patient ventilation
The Microstream™ capnography monitoring system — consisting of the patient monitor, Smart Capnography™ algorithms, and Microstream Advance™ filter lines — is designed for early detection of changes in patient ventilation.
Patient monitors
Using Molecular Correlation Spectroscopy™ (MCS), a CO2-specific IR wavelength that is highly accurate and unaffected by the presence of other gases, Microstream™ technology-enabled monitors deliver clear, crisp waveforms and accurate respiratory rate measurements.
Smart algorithms
Our Smart Capnography™ family of algorithms reduces nuisance alarms by 53% and ensures an accurate respiratory rate by rejecting shallow non-breath CO2 excursions that occur in snoring, talking, and crying.
Sampling lines
Microstream™ Advance filter lines with Uni-junction™ technology enables EtCO2 sampling from both nares or the mouth to deliver accurate readings up to 150 breaths per minute.†
Built with Microstream™ technology both masks are Microstream™ technology-endorsed,‡ and incorporate genuine Microstream™ Advance filter lines you can connect to any Microstream™ capnography or Microstream™ technology-enabled monitor.
Accurate and reliable lines
Imitation lines don’t deliver the same performance. Cross-paired sampling lines did not exhibit accurate EtCO2 readings when tested.†,4
Microstream™ capnography can help improve patient safety and outcomes across various areas of care.

Procedural sedation
Used at more hospitals than any other capnography system, Microstream™ delivers real-time insights into patient ventilation, so you can reduce adverse respiratory events by up to 61%.2,3,5,6
Medical-surgical unit
We have an unwavering commitment to keep your patients safe. The Microstream™ capnography monitoring system is designed to continuously monitor patients in areas of care where spot checking might not be enough or where additional parameters are needed.
NICU
As the NICU’s respiratory partner, we put neonates in the center of our product designs and educational materials — all to ensure clinicians are thoroughly informed and supported in properly managing the tiniest and most fragile patients within the hospital.
Emergency medical services
Empowering patient safety. Anytime, anywhere. We're proud to partner with EMS professionals like you, rising to the challenge every day and delivering extraordinary care in unpredictable situations.
Ambulatory surgery centers
Cost-effective respiratory monitoring, airway, and anesthesia management solutions that prioritize patient safety for ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs).
