Online ABG Arterial Blood Gas Monitoring System General Information
No blood loss, no blood handling, no waiting for results
Integrated arterial blood gas monitoring system for your critically ill neonates
Accurate, fast arterial blood gases are analyzed at the bedside, while reducing the
risks associated with excessive neonatal blood loss. OnlineABG™, a point-of-care
measurement tool, provides pH, pCO2, pO2, and HCO3 values. Since it is a component of the
TramscopeŽ or Solar™ patient monitoring system, ABG results are integrated with
other monitored parameters for a more complete patient profile.
Blood is drawn from an umbilical artery catheter (UAC) into a fiber optic sensor,
analyzed within 60 seconds, then returned to the baby. The closed system reduces risk of
infection to both the neonate as well as the clinician. ABGs can be drawn as often as
every two minutes.
Following a two-step initialization procedure, the sensor is ready for use and will
maintain its accuracy for 72 hours. For critically ill neonates requiring frequent blood
gases, OnlineABG provides the information where and when you need it. |
