Abstract
A detector to measure composition of a flow of gas from a respiratory circuit. The detector includes a housing and a removable flow path element. The removable flow path element includes an inlet, a sampling chamber, a pump section including a membrane and an actuator interface, and an outlet. A flow path element dock is formed by the housing with the flow path element dock to removably engage the removable flow path element. A radiation source within the housing emits radiation into a sampling chamber of the removable flow path element while the removable flow path element is docked in the flow path element dock. A sensor is housed within the housing. A pump actuator and controller are within the housing to drive the pump to maintain the flow rate of the flow of breathable gas through an enclosed flow path.
