Abstract:
The Ohmeda Rascal II is a multigas analyser and pulse oximeter for dedicated anaesthetic.use. It uses the Raman scattering of laser light to identify and quantify oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and three volatile anaesthetic agents. Its response times equal or better the published response times of infrared or photo-acoustic devices. It is linear within the clinical ranges of all gases and vapours, simple to use, requires no maintenance, holds its calibration well, and is a suitable monitor for clinical and research use.
