Molecular Products Canister Refill Bag Sodalime

An Absorbent for removal of Carbon Dioxide and other acidic contaminants from gas streams. This active compound is formed by mixing calcium and sodium hydroxides. It is supplied as hard, porous, irregularly shaped granules which have been processed to maximize Carbon Dioxide absorption and minimize dust formation.

Features:

Low dust
Dust is undesirable in that it can cause a handling hazard to anesthesia staff and potentially affects patient safety. Sodalime is equal to the current leading no-granular brand form.
No complaints from inhalation of dust from staff or patient

Application:

The color of fresh, unused product ranges from white to slightly off-white. Since it contains ethyl violet, the product's color changes progressively to violet as CO2 absorption capacity is exhausted. In normal use, the ethyl violet color change is initiated when the carbonic acid (H2CO3) level increases with a corresponding decrease in pH. This color change, from white or off-white to violet, indicates the product is reaching or has reached its CO2 absorptive capacity, and there is need for immediate replenishment.
If not replenished and allowed to stand unused, caustics from the core of the granule slowly migrate to the surface and neutralize the carbonic acid. In this case, the pH level increases, the color change is reversed and the used material returns to a white or off-white color. In this situation, the product will appear to be fresh, even though it is at least partially exhausted. Product in this apparently fresh condition should be replaced and never used again, as it will change color almost immediately.
Because the color change is fully reversible and the quality of the color change is affected by a variety of factors, it should be used only as a visual indicator. It is therefore essential that color change be used in conjunction with other exhaustion measurement techniques to determine when replacement is necessary.
