Refill Bag for CARBOLIME^® Carbon Dioxide Absorber

Refill Bag for CARBOLIME® Carbon Dioxide Absorber is used to refill empty canisters after they have reached their absorption capacity. Same formula as the pre-filled canisters—the precise blend of calcium hydroxide and a small amount of sodium hydroxide ensures efficient carbon dioxide absorption while minimizing anesthetic agent degradation. Low dust levels keep your workspace clean, and the white-to-violet color change provides a clear visual cue for refills. Pre-filled CARBOLIME canisters sold separately.

3-lb. bag

Note: Fresh Carbolime has a white to off-white color. As CO2 absorption reaches its capacity, the Carbolime granules distinctively change to violet. This violet color intensifies to indicate exhaustion of the soda lime. When the violet color has penetrated through half the depth of the Carbolime absorber, the absorbent capacity of the canister is exhausted and the material should be discarded and replaced. It is essential to empty canisters immediately after exhaustion. If exhausted Carbolime is left to stand, the violet color will begin to revert to white within a few hours. Although Carbolime may appear to return to a fresh state, it cannot be regenerated and should never be re-used. The absorbent should be changed when uncertain of the state of hydration, such as if fresh gas flow has been left on for an extensive or indeterminate amount of time.
