GE V100 Patient Monitor Plastic Valve for CARESCAPE V100

GE V100 patient Monitor Plastic Valve dash2500/3000 Plastic Valve with 90 days warranty

The **GE V100 Patient Monitor Plastic Valve** is a component used in the **GE CARESCAPE V100** vital signs monitor, primarily for managing gas flow (e.g., in **etCO₂ or anesthetic gas monitoring**). Below are its key details:

### **Function & Purpose:**
- **Controls gas flow** in sidestream capnography (CO₂ monitoring) or optional gas analysis modules.
- **Ensures proper sample draw rate** (typically ~50 mL/min for etCO₂) while preventing moisture/clogging.
- **Lightweight & durable plastic** construction for cost-efficiency and corrosion resistance.

### **Compatibility:**
- Designed for the **GE CARESCAPE V100** monitor (used in ORs, ICUs, or transport).
- May also fit similar GE models (confirm with GE technical specs).

### **Common Issues & Maintenance:**
- **Clogging**: Requires regular inspection/replacement if gas pathways are obstructed.
- **Leaks**: Improper sealing can affect etCO₂ readings.
- **Replacement**: Follow GE’s guidelines for valve installation to avoid calibration errors.
