The swivel arm holding the analyzer allows using a very short patient tubing. In a short patient tubing, the gas samples do not mix together. Therefore, every gas sample can be precisely analyzed in the gas analyzer.
The flowmeter doesn’t contain any moving parts and causes only minimum resistance to the air flow. For its low price it can be used as a disposable item.
Vertically positioned monitors allow simultaneous observation of the ECG and gas data and support touch operation. The ECG software is perfectly synchronized with the software for the gas analysis. For any selected pulmonary data, the corresponding ECG strip is shown and vice versa.
Ergonomically positioned calibration syringe and gas cylinder make the system calibration more comfortable. There is no need to hold the syringe in hands during calibration, nor to walk around the station to reach the gas cylinder.
Sudden Death Screening module evaluates individual’s risk of sudden cardiac death based on Seattle Criteria.
