Reliable carbon dioxide detector helps verify endotracheal tube placement. Responds quickly to exhaled CO2 with a simple color change from purple to yellow. Breath-to-breath response. Constant visual feedback for up to two hours.

The Medtronic EasyCap II CO2 Detector is a colorimetric EtCO2 device that helps confirm endotracheal tube placement through rapid color change detection of exhaled carbon dioxide.

The Medtronic CO2 Detector, also known as the EasyCap II CO2 Detector, is a colorimetric end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) detector designed to help clinicians rapidly verify proper endotracheal tube (ETT) placement during intubation and emergency airway management.

By detecting exhaled carbon dioxide through a visible color transition from purple to yellow, the detector provides immediate visual confirmation of airway placement without requiring batteries or calibration.

Widely used in emergency departments, anesthesia workflows, ambulances, critical care units, and resuscitation settings, the Medtronic EasyCap II CO2 detector delivers breath-to-breath response and continuous visual feedback for up to two hours. Its compact, lightweight, single-use design supports rapid deployment during airway emergencies and CPR procedures.
