Gas analysis system, liquid separator, and gas analyzer

#This application is based on Japanese Patent Applications No. 2016-120195 filed on Jun. 16, 2016, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

#The present invention relates to a gas analyzer which analyzes a gas acquired from a living body. The invention further relates to a liquid separator which is to be detachably attached to such a gas analyzer, and which separates the liquid component from the gas. The invention still further relates to a gas analysis system which includes the gas analyzer and the liquid separator.

#As an example of a gas analyzer of this type, an apparatus is known which acquires a respiratory gas from a patient under surgery, and which measures the concentration of anesthesia gas contained in the respiratory gas.

#FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the functional configuration of a gas analysis system of an embodiment.

#FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the operation of the gas analysis system.

#Hereinafter, an embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows the functional configuration of a gas analysis system of the embodiment. The gas analysis system 1 includes a gas analyzer 2 and a liquid separator 3.

#The gas analyzer 2 includes an analyzing section 21 and an interface 22. The liquid separator 3 is configured so as to be attachable to and detachable from the interface 22 of the gas analyzer 2. The liquid separator 3 is configured so as to separate a liquid component from a gas acquired from a living body.

#The liquid separator 3 includes an introduction port 31. A sampling tube 4 for guiding a respiratory gas (an example of the gas) of a patient (an example of the living body) is detachably connected to the introduction port 31.
