Abstract
Gas within a ventilation circuit is analyzed by a spectrometer included in an airway adaptor that is inserted into the ventilation circuit. The spectrometer is formed from reflective members that process electromagnetic radiation while folding the path of the electromagnetic radiation in such a manner that the form factor of the airway adaptor is enhanced. Further, because of the scale of the spectrometer within the airway adaptor, the cost savings associated with manufacture of the reflective elements instead of refractive elements may significantly reduce the cost of the airway adaptor.
