Care Area Features
For Perioperative Care:
Enjoy a continuous flow of quality patient information from pre-op to the PACU with the adaptable and economical B40 Patient Monitor. You'll get:
- Exceptional clinical measurements, including leading hemodynamic, anesthetic gas or entropy measurements
- Customizable settings and alarms to accommodate different patient types and acuities
- Small footprint that fits easily into perioperative care areas where space is at a premium
- Portability so the monitor can easily be moved to different care areas within the hoapital as needed
- Network connectivity, allowing you to view your patient at the GE central station and send patient data to the EMR system
- Integrated perioperative system, combining hemodynamic and anesthetic gas monitoring, along with an innovative GE anesthesia delivery system that may enhance your workflow
- E-ENTROPY Module compatibility, which contains GE's unique Entropy algorithm that monitors the state of the brain
- N-CAiO airway gas option for real-time breath-by-breath values, fast oxygen management and sidestream measurement for intubated and nonintubated patients
For Specialty Care Areas:
Benefit from the versatile clinical capabilities to monitor a wide range of patients in your Specialty areas. Take advantage of:
- Alarm flexibility and management, including critical alarms breakthrough even if alarms are turned off
- Intuitive, easy-to-use interface to enable better decision support
- Pre-defined settings for ECG, respiratory, NIBP, SpO2, temperature and optional C02 customized to patient profiles
- C02 Module compatibility, single width airway module for compact C02 sidestream respiratory monitoring
- Mounting options to fit your bedside needs - easily wall mounted or portable with roll stand
- Network connectivity, allowing you to view your patient at the GE central station and send patient data to the EMR system
Clinical Measurements & Modules
Modules for the B40 Patient Monitor
The B40 Patient Monitor’s semi-modular platform allows you to customize the monitor with multiparameter combinations and a space for a single-width module.
Hemodynamic module
- 3- or 5-lead ECG
- Impedance respiration
- SpO2
- Noninvasive blood pressure
- 2-channel temperature
- Optional 2-channel InvBP
Key clinical measurement technologies:
- EK-Pro arrhythmia analysis
- ST analysis
- DINAMAP* SuperSTAT NIBP
- TruSignal* SpO2 technology (Masimo and Nellcor options also available.)
Neurology E-Entropy Module: Contains GE’s unique Entropy* algorithm that monitors the state of the brain in adults and children over age two. The Entropy measurement may:
- Aid in monitoring the effects of certain anesthetic agents
- Help the user titrate anesthetic drugs according to the patient’s needs
- Assist in the reduction of anesthetic use and help facilitate a quick emergence from anesthesia
Respiratory: Modules assist in essential anesthesia gas monitoring. Features include:
- Real-time breath-by-breath inspiratory and expiratory values measured right at the patient’s airway: CO2, O2, Fi-EtO2 difference, N2O
- Fast oxygen measurement for accurate EtO2 and FiO2 values
- Airway gases measured by the sidestream method, enabling monitoring of intubated and nonintubated patients
- Automatic identification of the single agent in use, alert of agent mixture detection
- MAC (Minimum Alveolar Concentration) and MACage with age, temperature and ambient pressure compensation: E-sCAiO
- Sidestream CO2: E-miniC
- Sidestream CO2, O2 and N2O: E-sCO
- Sidestream CO2, O2 agents and N2O: E-sCAiO, N-CAiO
