Vitals Plus with NomoLine capnography identifies the concentration of expired carbon dioxide (CO₂) in an exhaled breath, which indicates ventilation and respiratory adequacy.

It also provides information about the body’s metabolism, perfusion, pulmonary circulation and cardiac function.

The technology can also be used in combination with the company’s Early Warning Scoring System (EWSS) to enable another layer of protection and alerts for caregivers when the deterioration starts.
