The GE Datex-Ohmeda E-CAiOV Airway Gas Module is an advanced multi-gas monitoring system designed for use with GE anesthesia and compact monitoring systems. Engineered for precision and reliability, the E-CAiOV measures and identifies anesthetic agents, respiratory gases, and patient spirometry parameters directly at the airway—providing comprehensive breath-by-breath data essential for anesthetic management and patient safety. Using Datex-Ohmeda’s proprietary infrared and paramagnetic sensor technologies, the E-CAiOV delivers fast, accurate readings for CO₂, N₂O, O₂, and all five major anesthetic agents (Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane, Sevoflurane, and Desflurane). The module integrates seamlessly into the anesthesia workstation, offering real-time waveforms, inspired/end-tidal values, and gas exchange measurements to assist clinicians in maintaining optimal ventilation and anesthesia depth. With its D-fend™ water separation system, compact form factor, and advanced agent identification capabilities, the E-CAiOV provides dependable monitoring for both standard and low-flow anesthesia applications.
