This optional module allows for continuous oxygen, cardiac, respiration, and gas analysis, delivering multi-parameter insights for complex clinical cases.
Optional Features and Upgrades
The VitalMax 17-inch Modular Monitor offers a variety of optional modules to enhance monitoring capabilities according to your department’s needs:
1. WiFi Connectivity
With WiFi, the monitor can seamlessly integrate into hospital networks, allowing remote data access, central monitoring, and integration with electronic medical records (EMR).
2. EtCO₂ Monitoring (Sidestream & Mainstream)
End-tidal CO₂ monitoring provides critical respiratory data, especially in anesthetized or ventilated patients, supporting early detection of hypoventilation or airway compromise. Both sidestream and mainstream options are available for flexibility in patient care.
3. Anesthetic Agent Monitoring
The module supports 5-gas anesthetic monitoring with auto identification, enabling precise tracking of volatile anesthetic concentrations in the operating room, ensuring patient safety during surgery.
4. Central Station Monitoring
VitalMax 17 can connect to central monitoring stations, allowing ICU nurses and clinicians to oversee multiple patients simultaneously, improving efficiency and response times.
5. Invasive Blood Pressure (IBP)
Optional IBP monitoring provides real-time arterial pressure, including arterial, central venous, pulmonary artery, and left atrial pressures. This is critical for patients in intensive care or undergoing major surgeries.
6. Cardiac Output Measurement
Optional cardiac output modules allow for continuous monitoring of hemodynamic status, providing real-time insights into cardiac performance and helping guide fluid management and therapeutic interventions.
7. Modular Configuration Options
The VitalMax 17’s modular design allows you to combine modules based on clinical needs:
- 2xIBP + Cardiac Output
- 2xIBP + EtCO₂
- EtCO₂ only
- Cardiac Output only
This flexibility ensures the device adapts to evolving clinical workflows.
