DESCRIPTION
Medical Gas Monitor
The Criticare Poet IQ 8500 automatically identifies and quantifies inspired and expired CO2, N2O, O2, and five anesthetic agents. The system’s reliable performance, ease of use, flexible design, and affordable cost make it the ideal monitoring solution for anesthesia applications in hospitals and surgical centers. The Criticare Poet IQ 8500 provides a powerful combination of proprietary CSI vital signs and 5-agent gas analysis technology. Versatile, reliable, and incredibly compact. Designed to operate simply, in less time, and with greater accuracy!
FEATURES
- State-of-the-art non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology identifies and measures five anesthetic agent gases: Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane, Desflurane, and Sevoflurane.
- Automatic or manual modes.
- Breath-by-breath O2, CO2, and N2O monitoring. Gas flow was sampled at 100, 150, and 200 ml/min. Mixed agent identification.
- Measurement accuracy is not affected by alcohol.
- Fast warm-up time ensures full accuracy within minutes.
- Auto-calibration.
- Bright, real-time display of numerical values and waveforms provides instant notification of changing patient status.
- Lightweight, portable design provides flexible workspace options.
