ExSpiron 2Xi

Non-invasive respiratory volume monitoring

ExSpiron is the only non-invasive respiratory volume monitor that continuously displays minute ventilation, tidal volume, and respiratory rate.

With ExSpiron, it is possible to detect early respiratory changes, facilitating you to make timely and confident decisions to prevent complications.

How it works

ExSpiron is a compact freestanding monitor. It features an intuitive, easy-to-use graphical interface that displays measurement and trends for:

Minute Ventilation (MV)

The amount of air someone breathes in a minute.

Minute ventilation

Tidal Volume (TV)

The amount of air someone breathes in one breath.

Tidal_volume

Respiratory Rate (RR)

The number of breaths in a minute.

Respiratory_rate

Minute Ventilation = Tidal Volume x Respiratory Rate

Respiratory Volume Monitoring (RVM) with ExSpiron

A change in minute ventilation is the first indication of respiratory deterioration. Methods for accurate non-invasive monitoring of changes in respiratory status are limited. ExSpiron enables non-invasive Respiratory Volume Monitoring (RVM), which has been demonstrated to provide the most direct measurement of respiratory status and the earliest indicator of changes in respiratory status.

ExSpiron uses bioelectrical impedance, to measure the tissue’s opposition to carrying an alternating electrical current. The system incorporates a single-use PadSet sensor and a monitor unit with integrated display. Impedance measurements through the PadSet correlate with the volume of air in the lungs.

ExSpiron uses patient size to calculate a predicted minute ventilation, which is that patients normal breathing at rest. This is defined as the patient’s 100 % predicted minute ventilation (MVPRED).

ExSpiron continuously measures and displays the patient’s real time MVPRED using data from the PadSet. The ExSpiron displays the MVPRED both as a number and a trend.
