When used with the Patient Data Module (PDM) or the TRAM acquisition module, this device is intended to provide uninterrupted monitoring of physiologic parameter data for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients during transport from one area of the healthcare facility to another. Physiological parameter data includes ECG, invasive pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry, temperature and respiration. Both the PDM and TRAM acquisition module acquire, process and store information for all aforementioned parameters. The Solar 8000i patient monitoring system is a multi-parameter physiological patient monitoring system intended for use on adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. It provides uninterrupted monitoring of physiological patient data. The Solar 8000i patient monitoring system is capable of monitoring and analyzing the following parameters for all patient populations: Electrocardiogram, invasive pressure, non-invasive blood pressure, pulse, temperature, cardiac output, respiration, pulse oximetry, venous oxygen saturation, transcutaneous pO2 and pCO2, CO2 and respiratory mechanics. The Solar 8000i patient monitoring system is capable of GE Healthcare Page 3 of 6 monitoring the following parameters for adult and pediatric patient populations: anesthetic agent concentrations, O2, impedance cardiography, electroencephalography and bispectral index. The Solar 8000i patient monitoring system interfaces with a variety of third-party peripheral medical devices that support serial and /or analog data outputs. Information from these devices can be displayed, trended and stored in the monitoring system. The solar 8000i patient monitoring system also provides physiological data over the Unity Network.
