A New Patient Vital Signs Monitor from GE
A new breed of patient monitors has become the most efficient way to deliver critical patient data in a mobile environment. Because of their ergonomic design and portability, the GE Dash 2000 patient vital signs monitors are high performance medical equipment that function well in large and small medical facilities, as well as anywhere in between. These lightweight monitors are highly functional and affordable, weighing just 12 pounds, making it easy for any medical facility to deliver GE’s high standard performance, particularly within specialized procedure rooms and mobile lifesaving units.
The GE Dash 2000 features a modern, high-resolution display screen that can be used in both monochromatic and full color modes. It offers a full range of broad spectrum monitoring capabilities, including ECG, vital signs, and non-invasive blood pressure monitoring. These patient monitors provide highly accurate SPO2 and heart rate readings, and they can also record the collected data on a clear, easy to read display.
For blood pressure monitoring, this machine uses Dinamap technology, and uses a Marquette-based ECG, which includes EK-Pro functionality for detecting arrhythmia. User friendly menu options offer intuitively placed functions, making these patient monitors easy enough to be used by a novice. To make it function seamlessly in a mobile ER environment, the machine comes equipped with a wireless LAN for continuous monitoring during patient transport.
Working in conjunction with GE’s Global Research division, GE Healthcare is always looking for new ways to service the medical services industry, particularly in the mobile lifesaving arena. At GE’s request, the FCC recently proposed a dedicated radio frequency band for short-range wireless patient monitoring devices, which will be called MBANS, the Medical Body Area Network Service.
