E-miniC Compact and Precise Respiratory Monitoring Module
The GE Healthcare E-miniC airway module is an innovative device designed for sidestream CO₂ respiratory monitoring. This module, intended for patients weighing over 5 kg, stands out for its compactness and reliability, providing an ideal solution for demanding medical environments. With its advanced technology, it enables precise and continuous monitoring of respiratory parameters, ensuring optimal patient care.
The E-miniC uses sidestream measurement technology to monitor inspired (FiCO₂) and end-tidal (EtCO₂) CO₂ concentrations. This method allows for precise and rapid detection of CO₂ variations, which is essential for real-time patient monitoring. CO₂ values are displayed as waveforms and numerical data, making it easy for healthcare professionals to interpret the information. This clear and intuitive visualization is crucial for quick and accurate decision-making, especially in emergency situations.
The E-miniC's compact design makes it particularly suitable for medical environments where space is limited. Its small size allows for easy and unobtrusive installation, freeing up workspace for healthcare professionals. Additionally, its ergonomic design ensures easy handling, even in high-stress conditions. The connectors and controls are easily accessible, facilitating use and maintenance.
Precision is a key feature of the E-miniC. The module offers a wide measurement range for CO₂, from 0 to 20 vol%, with remarkable accuracy. CO₂ values are updated with each breath, ensuring real-time data. Furthermore, the module allows manual adjustment for O₂ and N₂O to improve CO₂ measurement accuracy. This feature is particularly useful in environments where the concentrations of these gases may vary, ensuring consistently precise and reliable measurements.
The E-miniC is equipped with advanced alarm features to ensure patient safety. The high and low limits for EtCO₂ and FiCO₂ are adjustable, allowing for customized monitoring based on each patient's specific needs. The module also includes alarms for detecting blocked sample lines, water trap replacement, and water trap checks. These alarms ensure continuous and reliable monitoring, alerting healthcare professionals to potential issues.
The E-miniC is compatible with GE Healthcare's CARESCAPE modular monitors, as well as AS/3, CS/3, and S/5 monitors using L-ANEO2IA, L-ICUO2IA software or later versions. This compatibility ensures easy integration with existing monitoring systems, providing a versatile and flexible solution for healthcare professionals. Whether in intensive care units, operating rooms, or emergency departments, the E-miniC adapts perfectly to various clinical contexts.
The E-miniC is designed to be easy to use and maintain. Its intuitive user interface allows for quick and simple setup, while its components are designed to be easily cleaned and disinfected. The module is also lightweight, making it easy to transport and install. Healthcare professionals can rely on the E-miniC for daily use without complications, ensuring effective and reliable respiratory monitoring.
