• Capnospot provides objective visual confirmation of decompression success or failure by utilizing visual color change, ideal for noisy prehospital environments.
• Small, Lightweight, Compact.
• Capnospot is compatible with all decompression devices.
• The Capnospot is more accurate than the standard of care.
• Potential to improve decompression rates, reduce the number of procedures, and reduce wasted procedures and costs.
• The objective color change is nearly instant (<5 seconds).
• Capnospot indicates if the decompression is non-therapeutic, or the catheter loses patency and will revert to its original color.
• Functions in Low light environments.
