S/5 Compact: Versatile Patient Monitor with Advanced Monitoring and Integrated Connectivity
The S/5 Compact is a state-of-the-art patient monitor, designed to meet the rigorous demands of medical facilities including hospitals, surgery centers, operating rooms, and recovery rooms. Its versatility, coupled with an intuitive user interface, makes it the perfect choice for environments where patient monitoring and anesthesia management are critical.
One of the standout features of the S/5 Compact is its ability to monitor a comprehensive range of parameters, including ECG, non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), oxygen saturation (SpO2), temperature, and end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2). In addition to these core features, the S/5 Compact includes the capability to monitor five agent gases for anesthesia, such as Sevoflurane and Desflurane, which is a key requirement for safe and efficient anesthesia delivery.
The monitor is equipped with a 12.1-inch active matrix color TFT LCD display, ensuring that clinicians have a clear and comprehensive view of patient data at all times. The display supports up to 8 waveforms and 4 numeric digital fields, allowing for detailed monitoring of multiple parameters simultaneously. The layout and colors of the display are fully user-configurable, giving clinicians the flexibility to arrange the data in a way that best suits their needs.
Efficiency is at the core of the S/5 Compact's design. The monitor features 2+2 module slots, allowing users to easily integrate standard S/5 Datex-Ohmeda modules. This modular approach ensures the monitor can be tailored to the specific requirements of each clinical environment. Additionally, the monitor provides an integrated command board with direct function keys and the ComWheel™ for quick adjustments and selections within the menu, making the system easy to operate even in high-pressure situations.
When it comes to connectivity, the S/5 Compact excels. The monitor includes RS-232 computer serial output, fixed analog outputs, and multiple I/O connections, such as ports for an external keyboard, barcode reader, and remote controller. Moreover, the S/5 Compact is compatible with both wired and wireless networks, enabling centralized monitoring and alarm management across a facility. It also offers a MemCard option for easy transfer of patient data, ensuring that vital signs and trends are accessible throughout the patient's care journey.
The S/5 Compact is also built with durability and practicality in mind. Its robust design includes a waterproof one-touch connector, making setup easy and reducing the risk of water damage. The built-in battery provides up to 1.5 to 2 hours of continuous operation on a full charge, giving clinicians peace of mind in case of power interruptions. With an early and final warning alarm for low battery and a battery bar displayed on the screen, the device ensures that clinicians are always aware of the monitor’s battery status.
To further enhance patient safety, the S/5 Compact includes a sophisticated alarm system that categorizes alarms based on priority. The alarms are color and tone-coded, ensuring that clinicians can quickly identify and respond to critical issues. Additionally, the monitor offers graphical mini-trends referenced to set alarm limits, helping clinicians identify trends over a 10-minute window.
Customization is another key feature of the S/5 Compact. The monitor allows for up to 6 user-configurable modes and 6 display pages per mode, enabling clinicians to optimize the system for different care settings. Whether in a surgical environment or a recovery room, the S/5 Compact can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the situation.
The S/5 Compact by GE is a comprehensive, reliable, and highly customizable patient monitor designed to improve the quality of care in various medical settings. With its advanced monitoring capabilities, flexible configurations, and robust design, the S/5 Compact is an essential tool for any healthcare facility aiming to provide safe, efficient, and high-quality patient care.
