Fornitura di n°3 Misuratori di CO e 2 Misuratori Temperatura Espirato per un Totale di XX Euro.

I'm having trouble with "Espirato" in this sentece as the grammar doesn't match, and the capitalization is confusing the issue. Could it be a brand name? I've internet searching every combination I can imagine here, but no luck. Maybe I'm just missing something. The context is a discussion of the donations that will be given to a health facility.

Thanks!
