PIC50: A Complete and Versatile Solution for Mobile Intensive Care
The Welch Allyn PIC50 is a state-of-the-art medical device designed to meet the needs of healthcare professionals in emergency and intensive care situations. This portable system combines several vital functions in a single compact device, facilitating rapid and effective care for patients in cardiac or respiratory distress.
Weighing only 4.5 kg, the PIC50 is ideal for field interventions or demanding hospital environments. It features a high-resolution ECG monitor, a biphasic defibrillator, a transcutaneous external pacemaker, a pulse oximeter, and optional modules for non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), body temperature, CO₂ and respiration measurement. Thanks to its 6.5-inch TFT colour display, physiological data is displayed clearly and intuitively, enabling rapid decision-making.
The PIC50 defibrillator uses an optimised biphasic waveform for maximum efficiency with an energy selection of up to 360 joules. The system also allows precise synchronisation for cardiac shocks and offers secure disarming options. The external cardiac stimulator offers asynchronous and on-demand modes, with a frequency range of 30 to 180 BPM.
The user interface is designed for intuitive use, with dedicated controls for each function. The PIC50 also allows voice recording (Voice Memo™ option), ACLS event documentation, and data transmission via memory card, fax or GSM modem. It complies with international safety and performance standards, including IEC 60601 and ISO 9001.
This system is particularly suitable for emergency services, mobile intensive care units, hospitals and clinics. Its robust design and ability to operate in extreme conditions (temperatures from 0 to 45°C, humidity up to 95%, altitude up to 15,000 feet) make it an indispensable tool for healthcare professionals.
The Welch Allyn PIC50 is a comprehensive, reliable and scalable solution for monitoring and treating critically ill patients. It embodies innovation in mobile intensive care, offering unrivalled flexibility and performance.
