Abstract
A gas sampling assembly comprising an insert and a cuvette, and an insert for use in a cuvette, suitable for sampling respiratory gases of paediatric patients, the insert comprising a unitary insert having a hub and at least two extending members extending outwardly from the hub, the at least two extending members defining a void therebetween and the insert being located, in use, at least partially within the sampling channel, and the gas sampling cell assembly being configured such that light passing through the optical window passes into the sampling channel and through the void between the two extending members.
Claims18
A kit of parts comprising a cuvette and a unitary insert, the cuvette comprising an inlet, a gas sampling channel, an outlet and at least one optical window and being configured such that a gas sample passes from the inlet, through the sampling channel and to the outlet, the unitary insert comprising a hub and at least two extending members extending outwardly from the hub, the at least two extending members defining a void therebetween, and being insertable into the cuvette such that it is located, in use, at least partially within the gas sampling channel and configured such that light passing through the optical window passes into the sampling channel and through the void between the two extending members.
A gas sampling cell assembly comprising a cuvette and an insert, the cuvette comprising an inlet, a gas sampling channel, an outlet, and at least one optical window, wherein the cuvette is configured such that a gas sample passes from the inlet, through the gas sampling channel and to the outlet, and the insert comprises a unitary insert comprising a hub and at least two extending members extending outwardly from the hub, the at least two extending members defining a void therebetween, and the unitary insert being located, in use, at least partially within the gas sampling channel.
