5330 Agent Monitor: Anesthetic Agent Monitoring
The Ohmeda 5330 Agent Monitor is designed to provide real-time analysis of anesthetic agents administered to patients under general anesthesia. Utilizing infrared technology coupled with a high-precision microprocessor, this monitor detects and displays the concentrations of anesthetic agents in both inspiratory and expiratory phases. It is compatible with isoflurane, enflurane, halothane, desflurane, and, depending on local regulations, sevoflurane.
The high-resolution graphic screen allows for quick and precise reading of anesthetic concentrations in both numerical and graphical trend forms. In the absence of detected respiration, the monitor automatically updates the data every 15 seconds to ensure continuous tracking. The device is also equipped with a barometric compensation system to adjust measurements according to altitude, ensuring optimal accuracy in various hospital environments.
One of the major advantages of this monitor is its sidestream sampling system, which allows for the use of a wide range of adapters for gas sampling. With its disposable filter cartridge, it eliminates moisture and impurities, ensuring reliable analysis and extending the lifespan of the device.
The control interface is simplified with an intuitive membrane panel, making it easy to navigate menus and adjust settings. Users can configure visual and audible alarm thresholds tailored to the specific needs of each patient. An analog output allows for data integration with a graphical recorder for precise archiving.
This monitor also offers automatic calibration and zeroing functions, reducing the need for frequent technical interventions. It is designed for simplified maintenance, with replaceable software cartridges enabling updates without replacing the entire device.
In terms of connectivity, the 5330 Agent Monitor features an RS-232 port, facilitating communication with computers or printers for efficient patient data management. Its compatibility with multiple languages makes it accessible to users worldwide.
In addition to its technical performance, the device is designed for continuous use, ensuring high reliability in a hospital setting. Its robust and ergonomic design allows for seamless integration into an intensive care environment, where anesthetic monitoring is a priority.
