The keyword for Life Scope S is "site-oriented." This intelligent monitor is designed to provide the best monitoring for any site in the hospital. Automatic plug and play measurement module detection and automatic screen layout are just some of the cutting edge features in this high-end patient monitor. Can be used as either a central or bedside monitor. Easy to use Operate the monitor by touch screen, keypad on the side of the monitor, remote control, full keyboard (option) or mouse (option). Screen menus provide access to all functions. Plug and play Just plug in a module to start measuring that parameter. The type of module is automatically detected. Waveform and screen layout can be automatically rearranged based on the currently measured parameters. Highly enhanced ECG monitoring Life Scope S provides high reliability ECG monitoring with simultaneous 12 lead ECG. 12 lead ST analysis and 2 lead arrhythmia are also available with digital processing. High visibility alarm An alarm indicator at the top of the monitor can be clearly seen from a distance. Blinking and color change shows the alarm status. Revolutionary PWTT? technology This monitor incorporates a new parameter, PWTT (pulse wave transit time), which can have correlation with blood pressure. The monitor continuously calculates PWTT from ECG and SpO2. During periodic NIBP measurement, if PWTT exceeds the threshold it triggers NIBP measurement. This increases the chance to detect sudden change in blood pressure between periodic NIBP measurements. PWTT: New NIBP technology for Nihon Kohden Life Scope monitors Networking The LS-NET Life Scope monitoring network protocols support up to 300 beds using Ethernet and TCP/IP. Modules and parameters Life Scope S measures an extensive range of parameters with plug-in modules and input boxes. High quality SpO2 measurement Gas measurement with AG-920R Multgas Unit The blood pressure measuring technology in this monitor uses Nihon Kohden's patented PWTT technology (US patent no. 5564427, other patents pending).
