RE: Buying ex/2nd hand capnograph

Hi. Try Southwest medical and Custom Optics. Both should be easy to find via Google but let me know if you need a link. Both will sell quality kit that has been serviced etc. Also look at the Viamed capjographs available from Thames medical- very nice piece of kit

Main thing with ex medical capnographs is that you check it is calibrated (can often get the kits to do yourself) ie it reads CO2 accurately, and also check it's flow(sample) rate- if it is very high (200ml/min+) it will dilute your sample somewhat and may cause problems for very small patients 50-100ml sample rate is best for veterinary work

Hope helps :-)

try looking in the back of the vet times, they sometimes have adverts. or look on hospital websites, the only problem with ex hospital equipment is that you will need to calibrate it for animals.
