Carescape B450 Bedside Monitor: Performance and Flexibility for Modern Healthcare
The Carescape B450 monitor by GE Healthcare is an advanced solution for bedside monitoring and intra-hospital patient transport. Designed to meet a variety of clinical needs, it ensures data continuity and optimal care through its compatibility with various GE modules and platforms.
Weighing only 5 kg and featuring compact dimensions (29 x 30 x 16 cm), the Carescape B450 is both robust and portable. Its intuitive design makes it easy to adapt to different care environments: intensive care units, recovery rooms, emergency departments, or operating theaters. Its integrated handle and compatibility with GCX mounts facilitate transport and installation.
The Pages and Profiles functionalities allow the monitor to be configured according to each unit’s protocols and specific patient needs. Equipped with a 12-inch color TFT touchscreen (1024 x 768 pixels), it provides clear parameter visualization and simplified navigation.
The Carescape B450 integrates innovative technologies for precise and reliable monitoring. Among its advanced parameters are:
- 12SL diagnostic ECG with direct bidirectional communication to the MUSE system.
- Datex-Ohmeda sidestream CO2 for respiratory monitoring.
- Oximetry with options for GE TruTrak+, Masimo SET, or Nellcor OxiMax.
- SuperSTAT NIBP for fast and accurate blood pressure measurement.
- BIS and Entropy parameters for anesthetic care.
These features enable accurate diagnostics and quick decision-making, essential in critical situations.
The monitor ensures data continuity through its patient data module (PDM) and wireless connectivity via the CARESCAPE Gateway. It supports the HL7 protocol for integration with electronic medical records (EMR) systems.
Its combined telemetry mode provides patients with great mobility while maintaining continuous monitoring. Additionally, its peer-to-peer networking functionality allows data sharing between multiple Carescape monitors.
To meet the demands of complex medical environments, the Carescape B450 offers advanced alarm management features:
- Bed-to-bed alarm display (Auto View on Alarms).
- Quick adjustment of parameter limits.
- Reduced alarm fatigue through settings adapted to changing patient needs.
