EMMA Capnograph from Masimo

January 2014

In the heat of patient care, successfully placing an ET tube is no easy task. It's made remarkably easier with the advent of the EMMA Capnograph from Masimo.

EMMA is a fully self-contained mainstream capnograph that requires virtually no warm-up time, with full accuracy in 15 seconds to measure end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) and respiration rate (RR). The continuous capnogram allows for confirmation of endotracheal tube placement, enables clinicians to assess the depth and effectiveness of compressions and allows clinicians to recognize return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). EMMA is small and portable, featuring a lightweight design that fits in the palm of your hand for unmatched mobility and convenience during short-term EtCO2 monitoring of adult, pediatric and infant patients.

EMMA can be used at multiple points of care, including prehospital, emergency room, operating room, intensive care unit and long-term acute care, and it helps clinicians assess the effectiveness of CPR and guide ventilation, allowing them to make adjustments in the course of treatment, breath by breath. Its rugged, water-resistant design provides reliable operation in challenging environments and it's easy to maintain, requiring no routine calibration.

EMMA offers a simple, easy-to-use interface for quick set-up and one-touch programming, and it features an audible and visual alarm system for No Adapter, Clogged Adapter, No Breath (Apnea), Low Battery, and High and Low EtCO2. And EMMA has a long battery life, providing up to 10 hours of normal use with two standard AAA lithium batteries.
