Scio Four Oxio Plus Gas Measurement Module: Precision and Flexibility for Anesthetic Monitoring

The Scio Four Oxio Plus from Dräger is a sophisticated solution designed to meet the varied needs of anesthesia and critical care environments. Capable of monitoring O2, CO2, N2O, and volatile anesthetic agents, this system ensures precise real-time measurement of respiratory gases, whether during inspiration or expiration. This essential data is seamlessly transferred to Dräger Infinity monitors, allowing healthcare professionals to maintain optimal gas concentrations and improve patient outcomes.

Enhanced intraoperative safety is at the core of the Scio Four family. The system not only measures gas concentrations but also integrates with Dräger Infinity monitors to display MAC (Minimum Alveolar Concentration) values for anesthetic agents. This feature helps prevent the risks associated with underdosage or overdosage, promoting safer anesthesia management. Additionally, the option to measure inspiratory and expiratory O2 concentrations using a paramagnetic oxygen sensor offers a cost-effective and consumption-free alternative to traditional electrochemical sensors.

Another key element of the Scio Four Oxio Plus module is its integration with the WaterLock® 2 system. This innovative water trap features dual hydrophobic membranes that allow gases to pass while effectively blocking microbial contamination and condensation. This is particularly beneficial in challenging conditions such as low-flow anesthesia, where condensation can impede accurate capnography. The WaterLock® 2 system is not only efficient but also economical, with a design that allows for easy emptying and requires replacement only once a month.

Designed specifically for use with Dräger Infinity monitoring systems, the Scio Four Oxio Plus offers seamless integration. Once connected, the gas measurement module immediately transfers data to the monitor, providing a comprehensive overview of the patient’s respiratory status. This plug-and-play capability makes the Scio Four Oxio Plus an invaluable addition to any critical care or anesthesia setup.

The Scio Four Oxio Plus also contributes to a more hygienic working environment. The membrane technology of the WaterLock® 2 system ensures that bacteria and germs are kept out of the gas measurement system, enhancing the safety and reliability of the measurements. The system’s easy-to-handle design further simplifies maintenance and operation, reducing the workload on medical staff.

In terms of performance, the Scio Four Oxio Plus is engineered to meet the highest standards. It offers rapid response times, ensuring that the data displayed is as current and accurate as possible. This is crucial in high-stakes environments where every second counts. Moreover, the device operates quietly, with minimized noise emissions, contributing to a calmer and less distracting environment for both patients and healthcare professionals.

Overall, the Scio Four Oxio Plus is a robust, reliable, and versatile solution for gas measurement in medical settings. Its combination of real-time accuracy, flexible design, and safety features makes it an essential tool for improving patient care during anesthesia and other critical care scenarios.
