Multiple Medical Gas Monitors,Respired/Anesthetic
This Product Comparison covers the following device term and product code as listed in ECRI Institute’s Universal
Medical Device Nomenclature System™ (UMDNS™):
Monitors, Bedside, Respiration/Anesthetic Gas [17-445]
Scope of this Product Comparison
This Product Comparison covers stand-alone and modular multiple medical gas monitors (MMGMs) that can
determine concentrations of anesthetic and respiratory gases (oxygen [O2], nitrous oxide [N2O], carbon dioxide
[CO2], and halogenated agents) in the patient breathing circuit during anesthesia. Centralized mass-spectrometer-
based respiratory/anesthetic gas monitors that are hardwired to patient rooms or operating rooms (ORs) are
excluded. For more information on related monitors, see the Product Comparison titled Carbon Dioxide Monitors,
Exhaled Gas.
These devices are also called: multigas monitors.
Purpose MMGMs continuously sample and measure inspired and expired (end-tidal)
concentrations of respiratory and anesthetic gases during and immediately
following anesthetic administration. An overdose of anesthetic agent and/or too
little O2 can lead to brain damage and death, while an underdose of agent will
result in insufficient anesthesia.
Some deaths related to anesthesia use might be preventable with adequate respired
and anesthetic gas monitoring in the OR. During general anesthesia, the patient’s
physiologic status must be continuously assessed and trends and sudden
changes quickly identified. Gas monitoring provides the anesthetist with
information about the patient’s physiologic status, verifies that the appropriate
levels of delivered gases are administered, and warns of equipment failures or abnormalities in the gas delivery system. MMGMs display inspired/expired gas
concentrations and sound alarms to alert clinical personnel when the
concentrations of measured gases and the physiologic parameters fall outside set
limits. In most units, the gases are automatically identified and quantified, although
some MMGMs require that the user select the halogenated agent being used or
that the monitor be equipped with a special option to identify the halogenated
agent.

Principles of Operation
Most MMGMs are sidestream monitors, which aspirate samples from the breathing circuit through narrow-diameter
tubing that is usually made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Nafion sampling lines that can connect to any monitor are
also available from most monitor manufacturers or from independent sources. (Nafion allows moisture to pass
through the sampling line and into the atmosphere. Water vapor can affect infrared [IR] spectrometric
measurements.) Some manufacturers use a water trap and/or filter to remove condensation from the sample, thereby
reducing water vapor before the gas sample reaches the analysis chamber. Gas samples are aspirated into the
monitor at either an adjustable or a fixed flow rate, typically from 50 to 250 mL/min. Lower rates minimize the amount
of gas removed from the breathing circuit and therefore from the patient’s tidal volume; however, in some MMGMs,
low sampling flow rates can increase the response time (rise time) and reduce the accuracy of measurements. Most
monitors eliminate the exhaust gas through a port on the rear of the unit that can be attached to a scavenging
system or to the patient’s breathing circuit (in closed-loop
systems).
Because they measure chemically diverse substances, MMGMs
commonly combine more than one analytical method. Most
MMGMs measure concentrations of halogenated anesthetic
agents, CO2, and N2O using nondispersive IR absorption
technology; either an electrochemical (galvanic) cell or a
paramagnetic sensor is typically used to measure respired O2
concentration. Some MMGMs use a piezoelectric method to
measure anesthetic agent concentration.
Dual-chamber nondispersive IR spectrometers pass IR energy
from an incandescent filament through the sample chamber and
an identical but air-filled reference chamber. Each gas absorbs
light at several wavelengths, but only one absorption wavelength
is selected for each gas to determine the gas concentration. The
light is filtered after it passes through the chambers, and only the wavelength selected for each gas is transmitted to
the detector. The light absorption in the analysis chamber is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas. When IR
spectrometry is used to determine halogenated agent concentration, the anesthetics are usually analyzed along a
separate, longer optical path within the MMGM that can accommodate the weaker signal generated by the
halogenated anesthetics.
Monitors that can identify as well as quantify halogenated agents typically use a chamber separate from the one
used for measuring CO2 and N2O, measure absorption in the 7 to 14 µm range, and use single-channel,
multiwavelength IR filter photometers. Each of several filters (one for each anesthetic agent and one to provide a
baseline for comparison) transmits a specific wavelength of IR light, and each gas absorbs the light differently in the
selected wavelength bands.
Monitors that require the user to select the delivered agent to be measured use a wavelength range around 3.3 µm—
the peak wavelength at which the hydrogen-carbon bond absorbs light. Such MMGMs therefore cannot distinguish
among the various halogenated agents or other molecules that contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.
The piezoelectric method measures the concentration of a selected halogenated agent. The sample is pumpedthrough a chamber containing two crystals: a reference crystal and a second crystal that has been coated with an
organophilic compound to adsorb the anesthetic gas. The resulting increase in mass changes the coated crystal’s
resonant frequency in direct proportion to the concentration of anesthetic gas in the sample, thereby generating a
voltage that is displayed as the percentage of vapor. The reference crystal and microprocessor compensate for the
effects of temperature and of atmospheric pressure variations.
In the galvanic cell, O2 diffuses through a semipermeable membrane, reaches a reducing electrode, and is carried by
a reaction product to the other (reference) electrode, where it frees electrons. The rate at which O2 diffuses into the

cell and generates voltage is directly proportional to the partial pressure of O2 diffusing through the membrane.
Several factors affect the output and lifetime of the cells. The temperature of the O2 affects the rate of its diffusion
through the membrane and therefore the output of the cell; a thermistor incorporated into the cell compensates for
temperature changes. During its life, the electrode loses water—some diffuses out as O2 enters the cell, and some is
consumed through oxidation—and it eventually requires replacement.
The design of paramagnetic sensors for measuring O2 concentration is based on the high degree of susceptibility of
O2 (compared to other gases) to magnetic forces. The sensor consists of a symmetric cell with identical chambers for
the sample and the reference gas (air) joined at an interface by a differential pressure transducer or microphone. The
sample and reference gases are pumped through these chambers to a common outlet. A strong magnetic field
surrounding the region just before the gases come together acts on the O2 molecules to generate a pressure
difference between the two sides of the cell, causing the transducer to produce a voltage proportional to the O2
concentration.
The user typically calibrates or verifies calibration of the MMGM
with a standard gas mixture from an integral or external gas
cylinder. Some units, however, provide an automatic-calibration
feature.
MMGMs are microprocessor controlled and have user-
adjustable alarms that typically include factory-preset default
alarms and/or alarm-set programs for both high and low
concentrations of the gases measured. Some monitors also have
alarms for system malfunctions such as disconnection (air leaks
can often be identified from trending of O2 and CO2), occlusion,
apnea, or inadvertent rebreathing. MMGMs typically have a
method for temporarily silencing audible alarms for low O2, high
N2O, and high agent concentrations, while other, less critical
audible alarms can be permanently silenced.
MMGMs typically display waveforms and trends. They have integral display capability and are also commonly
equipped with output jacks to interface with computerized anesthesia record-keeping systems or with additional
analog and/or digital display units, such as chart recorders and printers.
Many units provide a graphic display of breath-by-breath concentrations and a hard copy of trends of gas
concentrations from the beginning to the end of the anesthesia event.
Reported Problems
The accumulation of water-vapor condensation or other materials in the sampling chamber can interfere with the
accuracy of MMGMs. Some monitors circumvent this problem by trapping condensate before it reaches the
chamber, while others use special tubing (Nafion) and hydrophobic filters to prevent water vapor from affecting
monitor performance; however, some manufacturers still recommend periodically cleaning the chamber, particularly
to prevent the accumulation of secretions or other foreign matter.
The presence of nitrogen (N2) in the inspired gases indicates that air is being aspirated into the breathing circuit,
thereby diluting the delivered gas concentration. Although most MMGMs do not monitor N2 concentration, such
leaks can often be identified from changing O2 and CO2 trends.
For MMGMs that cannot identify halogenated agents, the user must set the agent selection control according to the
halogenated anesthetic being used. Clinical personnel must be relied on to fill the vaporizers with the proper agent (a
keyed filling system will help prevent errors) and to connect the breathing circuit correctly to preclude accidental
use of the wrong or multiple anesthetics.

The presence of alcohol or other organic vapor in the room, in a sample line, or in a patient’s breath can cause
inaccurate concentration readings on monitors that cannot distinguish these compounds from anesthetic agents.
MMGMs that both identify and quantify halogenated agents can eliminate interference from these compounds
because these monitors measure concentrations of halogenated agents at a wavelength where organic vapors do
not have a peak in the IR absorption spectrum.
Purchase Considerations
Included in the accompanying comparison chart are ECRI Institute’s recommendations for minimum performance
requirements for MMGMs.
The MMGM should continuously sample and measure inspired and expired concentrations of respiratory and
anesthetic gases during and immediately following anesthetic administration. The device may also include
monitoring of other variables such as oxygen saturation (SpO2), airway pressure, and volume monitoring.
The MMGM should display inspired and expired gas concentrations of CO2 and halogenated agent, inspired (or
mean) concentrations of O2 and N2O, and respiration rate.
Monitors should accurately measure gas concentration over the range that is encountered clinically and should
compensate for the interference effects between gas constituents. The range that a monitor should be able to
measure and the accuracy that it should achieve for each of the analyzed gases should be as follows:
0-6% halothane with an accuracy of 0.25 volume %.
0-6% enflurane with an accuracy of 0.25 volume %.
0-6% isoflurane with an accuracy of 0.25 volume %.
0-20% desflurane with an accuracy of 0.25 volume %.
0-10% sevoflurane with an accuracy of 0.25 volume %.
0-80% nitrous oxide with an accuracy of 10% of reading or 5 volume %, whichever is greater.
0-10% carbon dioxide with an accuracy of 10% of reading or 0.4 volume %, whichever is greater.
0-100% oxygen with an accuracy of 5% of reading or 2 volume %, whichever is greater.
Interference with measurements caused by the presence of water vapor, aspirated fluid, or pressure in the breathing
circuit should be eliminated or automatically compensated for by the MMGM.
The MMGM should remain zeroed and calibrated for at least six months.
Measurements should remain accurate over commonly used ventilation rates (i.e., 25 breaths/min for adults and up
to 60 breaths/min if the monitor is intended for neonatal or pediatric applications).
Alarm limits should be easy to review and set. The anesthetist should be able to view all alarm limits and gas
concentration displays simultaneously while reviewing and setting alarm limits. Alarms should be available for all
parameters that the MMGM monitors. The unit should alarm to indicate an occluded sampling line or a system
failure.
For safe, effective monitoring, units should meet several minimum critical alarm criteria:
The apnea alarm (associated with CO2 monitoring) and the low O2 alarm limit are critical in all situations and
should be impossible to disable while a patient is connected.
For low O2, it should not be possible to lower alarm limits to values that are not clinically useful (minimum
settings of 18%).
Monitors should allow flexibility in setting alarm limits and help minimize the use of inappropriate settings,
and the alarm limits should be easy to review on a single screen.
If the displayed CO2 concentration is changed between mm Hg and percent CO2, the actual alarm-limit setting
should not be altered, and preferably, the alarm limit will be converted into the new units. It should not be possible

to indefinitely silence the apnea alarm.
Agent monitoring should activate automatically when the unit is turned on. It is acceptable, however, for the unit to
require that agent be selected before monitoring begins, provided that the unit warns the user when agent is
detected but has not been selected.
The MMGM should display the CO2 waveform. It is preferable that the unit allow the user to select at least two
additional graphical displays (e.g., waveforms and trends).
Exhaust gas from the MMGM must be returned to the patient’s breathing circuit or scavenged. Performance should
not be affected by attachment to a scavenger. When gas is to be scavenged, an easy-to-access port to which the
sampling tube cannot be connected should be provided with the monitor. Manufacturers should provide tubing (of
a smaller diameter than the breathing circuit) with the appropriate fittings to connect the exhaust port to the
expiratory breathing circuit (22 mm tee) or a scavenger (19 mm tee).
Other considerations
MMGMs are produced as either a configured unit or a modular part of a physiologic monitoring system. A facility
should consider the status of its present physiologic monitoring system before purchasing an MMGM. A modular
MMGM may allow all information and alarms to be integrated into one display. MMGMs can also be integrated intoanesthesia delivery units.
The variety of MMGM configurations available permits a facility to add modules to expand the capabilities of its
monitoring equipment. For example, if a hospital has pulse oximeters, it can purchase units without the pulse
oximeter option. If a facility is planning to replace its current anesthetic delivery equipment, it may want to consider
an anesthesia system with optional modules for combined CO2, N2O, and agent monitoring and/or for pulse
oximetry.
To achieve the degree of accuracy and performance reliability necessary for anesthetic monitoring, MMGMs require
careful maintenance by qualified biomedical engineering personnel. Users may want to check the availability of
service and the repair turnaround time before selecting multigas monitors for their facilities.
Environmental considerations
As a result of increasing concerns over the environment and the conservation of resources, many manufacturers
have adopted green shipping and production methods, as well as features that improve the energy efficiency of their
products or make them more recyclable. In addition, healthcare facilities and device manufacturers have begun to
adopt green initiatives that promote building designs and work practices that reduce waste and encourage the use
of recycled materials.
Facilities should look for manufacturers who offer take-back programs on system equipment. If a supplier does not
offer such an arrangement, the facility must absorb the costs of disposing the system according to local
environmental protection laws when it is replaced.
Stage of DevelopmentIR analyzers have been used for many years to identify and assay compounds for research applications. More
recently, they have been adapted for respiratory monitoring of CO2, N2O, and halogenated agents. Some
instruments are now designed to both identify and quantify specific agents.
A monitor using IR photoacoustic technology has been developed that can quantify all commonly
respired/anesthetic gases except N2 and water vapor; like some other MMGMs, it also has a built-in pulse oximeter.
Alarms alert OR personnel in the event of gas concentration delivery outside the set limits.

In addition, some monitors are made from nonferrous materials and are marketed for use during magnetic resonance
imaging procedures.
