Solar® 8000 Modular Patient Monitor General Information
A Component CPU/Display System
The Solar 8000 monitor is a member of Marquette's family of modular patient monitoring
solutions. It features the following standard components: a display, processing unit, and
patient-signal input unit. A choice of high resolution displays provides a variety of
sizes to meet all monitoring needs.
Traditional system operations are controlled with five easy access hard keys and the
user friendly Trim Knob®. The Trim Knob control and the user interface are
common to the Solar family of modular monitors, the Eagle® family of
configured patient monitors, the Tram® transport display, and the
Centralscope™ central station. With a common user interface it is easy to move from
one device to the next with ease and confidence. Menus and operation are supported by the
Mentor™ help system, which provides on-screen definitions and explanations of menus.
Advanced signal processing can reduce the number of false or missed alarms in the
system. Proprietary developments such as Marquette's 1 2SL™ and EK-Pro™
algorithms expedite the availability of valuable patient information to the clinician.
A state-of-the-art microprocessor combined with high density memory allows the
processing unit to deliver a high level of functionality. Reliability has been increased
by decreasing the number of connections, circuit boards, and components, coupled with
reduced thermal output. The resulting lower maintenance and easier serviced product
translates into a reduced cost of ownership.
The patient monitoring real-time network can consist of up to 300 monitored locations.
For many facilities this means all the real-time physiologic monitoring can be connected
on one network. Not only can clinicians benefit from patient information being readily
accessible, but the hospital will benefit when system-wide interfaces are required. |
