Nellcor™ bedside respiratory patient monitoring system

Bedside patient monitoring

Nellcor™ bedside respiratory patient monitoring system

The Nellcor™ bedside respiratory patient monitoring system provides easy access to the status of a patient’s oxygenation and respiration.

Description

Proven technology, state-of-the-art design

The Nellcor™ bedside respiratory patient monitoring system incorporates the latest Nellcor™ digital signal processing and cardiac-based technology for accurate, reliable readings.

Nellcor™ pulse oximetry is closely tied to patient physiology. It drives consistent performance during various challenging conditions, such as patient movement, noise, and low perfusion which can impede the assessment of patient respiratory status.

Features

With its intuitive, easy-to-read, graphical user interface and state-of-the-art color touch screen, this monitoring system provides clinicians with easy access to the critical information they need for patient care. The system provides continuous SpO2, pulse rate and respiration rate monitoring, SatSeconds alarm management, and saturation pattern detection (SPD) alert.

  • Modular software, expandable parameters, and easy upgrades help ensure the monitor provides long­-term functionality.
  • The state-of-the-art, lightweight, and versatile monitor design offers multiple connectivity options.
  • The monitor includes Nellcor™ respiration rate technology, which delivers oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate, and respiration rate through a single finger sensor.
  • The speed of measuring oxygenation and displaying the value has been shown to be clinically important. In two published papers, clinical studies employed different sequences for sensor application and connection to the patient. Nellcor™ OxiMax™ technology responded fastest to changes in neonate patients.1,2

Technology

The Nellcor™ bedside respiratory patient monitoring system provides SpO2, pulse rate, and respiration rate monitoring through a single finger sensor. The system also provides SatSeconds alarm management.

The monitor also features saturation pattern detection (SPD) alert for automated, real-time detection of desaturation patterns indicative of repetitive reductions in airflow. As an institution’s needs change, the system’s highly modular software and hardware can be upgraded on-site.

Clinicians can view the data in real-time, as historical trend data in graphical and tabular views, or download the data to a USB flash drive. With both real-time and trend data, clinicians get a complete picture of patient progress and are better informed to make treatment decisions.

  • Provides easy access to critical information via a stand-alone bedside monitor with SpO2, pulse rate, and respiration rate parameters
  • Numbers and trend data are provided and clearly displayed in real-time
  • Stores up to 48 hours of trend data readings at one-second intervals in memory that can be stored on a PC for analysis and archiving
  • Audible and visual alarms for low and high respiration rate
  • Includes the saturation pattern detection alert (SPD) that provides a real-time indication of the presence of repetitive reductions in airflow (RRiA) through an adult patient’s upper airway and into the lungs
  • Field-upgradable via a USB port for feature enhancements/improvements or new parameters, including Nellcor™ respiration rate software
  • Includes Nellcor™ SatSeconds alarm management, a clinician-controlled feature that differentiates between serious hypoxemia and minor transient events
  • Offers various screen layouts that give the user the ability to select among a set of predefined views and easily switch between views
  • Based on a portable, lightweight design that enables easy transport
