An exhaled-gas oesophageal intubation detector is a medical device used to confirm correct placement of an endotracheal tube by detecting exhaled carbon dioxide during airway management. It helps ensure the tube is in the trachea and not the esophagus, supporting safe ventilation in emergency or clinical settings.
This category includes single-use devices that connect to the intubation device or ventilator circuit and use a colorimetric method—such as a chemical reaction or paper indicator—to show CO2 levels through a visible color change. These devices are regulated as single-use tools intended for immediate verification of airway placement during resuscitation or anesthesia procedures.
