CARESCAPE
Monitor B450
For smart transport and bedside monitoring
The CARESCAPE* Monitor B450 is an important component of the CARESCAPE monitoring platform. It is a lightweight bedside
monitor that is robust enough to meet changing patient acuity and care area needs as well as capable of maintaining all bedside
monitoring functions during intra-hospital transport.
Exceptional clinical excellence
Enables you to use a wide parameter set with its
compatibility with the CARESCAPE Patient Data Module
(PDM), Patient Side Module (E-PSM) as well as single-width
E-modules
Consistent, innovative algorithms aid in accurate diagnoses,
including Datex-Ohmeda sidestream CO2, 12SL* diagnostic
ECG with direct two-way MUSE* ECG communication,
DINAMAP* SuperSTAT NIBP, Entropy*, BIS**, and your choice
of GE TruTrak+*, Masimo SET** or Nellcor** OxiMax** SpO2
Lightweight, intuitive design and simplified
servicing
Especially developed for the intra-hospital transport of
patients, with the capability to attach and detach GE
hemodynamic modules, E-PSM(P) or CARESCAPE Patient
Data Module
Designed for flexible acuity care settings, the Pages and
Profiles functionality may increase workflow efficiency by
allowing you to configure the monitor to unit standards and
patient populations
Exceptional alarm functionality enables remote bed-tobed viewing (Auto View on Alarms), quick adjustment to
all parameter limits, defining parameter limit range(s),
preventing specific alarms from being turned off and setting
adjustments to meet patient changing conditions may help
optimize your workflow and reduce alarm fatigue
Dedicated software and parameters for the OR, PACU,
Critical Care, Emergency Care and NICU care areas make it
easier to configure to your work patterns
Remote service through InSite* ExC provides updates and
predictive maintenance to assist your biomed servicing
capabilities
Dependable data continuity and integration
Provides continuous hemodynamic measurement during
intra-hospital transport and also transfers trend data with
the CARESCAPE Patient Data Module
Wireless connectivity with GEs CARESCAPE Gateway
enables communications to EMR systems through standard
HL7 protocol
Eases workflow and enables patient mobility with telemetry
and combination monitoring capability
Provides a peer-to-peer networking option that allows
monitors to communicate and view information from other
GE CARESCAPE monitors
Supports networking with other GE Healthcare products
including CARESCAPE CIC Pro, iCentral, MUSE* ECG database,
Unity Network* ID and other products that run on the
CARESCAPE Network
