SpiraLith®Ca’s unique composition and superior performance provide the opportunity to achieve significant reductions in overall cost of anesthesia delivery, while simultaneously improving patient safety and reducing environmental footprint:

• Far superior CO2 absorption efficiency without performance variation (see table above).

• Elimination of dust problems and channeling, along with fewer product changes reduces utilization of clinician, technician, engineering, and nursing time and efforts, especially related to biomed service calls and surgery rescheduling due to anesthesia machines failing their pre-use tests.

• Reduction in anesthesia costs due to ability to utilize low flows for extended periods of time without worries of Compound A, Carbon Monoxide, or Formaldehyde production.

• Permanent, reliable, consistent color change increases user confidence and decreases waste.

• Significant reductions in environmental footprint and waste; far fewer canisters are discarded and those that have a much higher percentage of their chemical contents reacted than traditional granular absorbents, which will have remaining absorption capacity ranging from 13.5% to 73.3%, with a mean of 44.8%. Additionally, SpiraLith® Ca satisfies California State’s strict requirements for disposal as non-hazardous waste.
