Carbon dioxide absorber, single-use

Definition

A non-sterile, prefilled, sealed container (i.e., a canister with connectors) that constitutes a complete anaesthesia absorber, which is intended to be placed in an anaesthesia unit/workstation breathing circuit for the removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) exhaled by the patient. It is filled by the manufacturer with an appropriate carbon dioxide absorbent (e.g., granules of treated soda lime) to chemically remove CO2. A drain may be included to channel water accumulated from expired-gas moisture or other source. This is a single-use device.
