Carolina Pines Regional Medical Centre has increased their relationship with Spacelabs Healt hcare and installed a fleet of all-new bedside monitors and central monitors in their ICU. The new monitors join existing Spacelabs monitors in the hospital’s “rapid assessment” chest pain department, emergency department, paediatric care unit and telemetry unit at the hospital.
The centre selected Spacelabs’ modular Ultraview™ SL2800-series bedside monitors, which offer complete monitoring and workstation performance in a single package. In addition, the SL2800 delivers networked charting, lab, intranet and HIS applications creating complete electronic records and allowing the caregiver to review information from multiple sources without leaving the bedside. Internal modules will allow the hospital to monitor an array of vital signs, including a complete suite of ECG parameters, non-invasive blood pressure, temperature and oxygen saturation. Vital sign measurements can be configured at each monitor for a specific patient by choosing parameters from the modules.
