Hi, Dont know if this is of any help! We have one super duper capnograph from Burtons which is great but takes up allot of room and probably does too much for what you want but we also have three LifeSense Capnographs from Krusse. They are small, portable machines, really easy to use and easy to maintain. They were pretty reasonable too! They measure ins co2, exp co2, resp rate & spo2.

Hope that helps! Kate

Yeah our autoclaves were from burtons and after care was next to useless and always breaking down and always had the repair guy. Thought about giving him his own mug and seat in the staff room!

our anaesthetist sweet talked the rep lol

We had some monitoring equipment from these guys too

Thanks - we have looked at this one and another couple that Burtons do and they offer a free 14 day trial (what did you have to do to get a few months trial!!!!!

We had an all singing all dancing one from them in my old practice but the training on using it provided by Burtons was nothing short of useless which puts me off a bit!

ain't used it but does what you want, maybe ask for a demo. Most companies are quite willing to loan you things to test them out. We loaned a nerve stimulator for several months before purchasing one
