SenTec Digital Monitoring System Continuous noninvasive ventilation monitoring in NICU PCO2  Continuous | Noninvasive | Accurate | Safe | Easy to Use

Transcutaneous, noninvasive blood gas monitoring End-tidal CO2 (etCO2) monitoring is sometimes inefficient in patients with small tidal volumes3 and inapplicable in certain ventilation modes such as HFO4. Overcoming limitations of arterial blood gases, etCO2 and SpO2 monitoring Assessing ventilation in neonatal patients is a challenge. Maintaining normal PaCO2 ranges in neonates is important as abnormal PaCO2 values may have detrimental effects on neonates’ brain and lungs. Neonates in critical care units often have fluctuations of PaCO21. Measuring SpO2 alone is not sufficient to detect hyperventilation...

Dedicated to neonatal needs SenTec digital transcutaneous (tc) sensors provide continuous and accurate measurements, supporting healthcare professionals to monitor ventilation in neonates. For better patient outcomes where it matters most. Different display options: – tcPCO2 and heating power trends – baseline and delta values V-Sign™ Sensor PCO2 PCO2 measured by a Stow-Severinghaus type electrode. – reliable and safe – clinically trusted for more than 1

Set baseline and markers Set a baseline just before changing the treatment to assess the impact on the patient's ventilation. Select from multiple recommended measurement sites User profiles Quickly adapt settings to your needs: select individually customized profiles stored in the monitor. Trendlines allow early detection of ventilation changes Estimates of PaCO2 in trendline, baselines and delta values. Relative Heating Power RHP shows the required heating power to keep the sensor at a set temperature. Changes of RHP may be attributable to changes in perfusion. Delta values Numerical indication...

Effective and efficient monitoring Save your time for the important tasks. Smart CalMem Disconnect the sensor (e.g. to untangle cables or to move the patient) without removing the sensor from the patient. No need to recalibrate the sensor when re-connecting. Multi Site Attachment Rings (MAR) The design enables a gentle sensor application and a smooth removal without damaging the sensitive skin. Transportable Lightweight, dedicated mounting plates / roll stands, and battery life up to 10 hours. Automatic calibration management Simply store the sensor in the Docking Station – calibration is fully...

Making Sensor Application Safer and Easier One application, one vial – Single Dose Contact Gel supports infection prevention initiatives. Excellent accuracy The high accuracy and safety of the SenTec tcPCO2 sensor has been studied and validated in several clinical studies. Mean carbon dioxide tension [mmHg] In a 2018 study5, Van Weteringen et al. demonstrated that tcPCO2 measured with the SenTec Digital Monitoring System was in good agreement with conventional blood gas analysis. A total of 238 blood samples were analyzed from 69 infants with a gestational age of 24 to 31 weeks. Depending on...

Safe sensor temperature and site time management – A low sensor temperature of 41 °C for tcPCO26,7 is recommended and allows for up to 8 hours continuous monitoring in neonatal patients. – Redundant sensor temperature controls to avoid the risk of skin irritations – Automatic, customizable site time control and site inspection intervals – Safety-relevant parameters are password protected. Automatic artifact detection – Automatic data quality verification and artifact detection Best signal quality Digital Sensor with integrated CPU. Measured signals are digitized and preanalyzed in the sensor...
