Delta Medical RM15 Neonatal & Infant Apnoea Monitors
Infants at risk of respiratory failure may suffer apnoea unexpectedly and even with the most diligent care such episodes can easily go unnoticed. Whilst pulse oximetry will alert nursing staff to falling oxygen saturation, early detection of the cessation of breathing allows more timely intervention.
The consequences of prolonged respiratory pauses can be serious, or even catastrophic, so any reliable method of warning clinical staff of breathing problems can have significant value. In today’s busy neonatal care environment, the reassurance obtained from monitoring for apnoea cannot be underestimated.
SIMPLE, RELIABLE AND EFFECTIVE
The Delta Medical apnoea monitor is a simple yet reliable device that gives reassurance to the nursing staff in today’s demanding healthcare environment. Developed using latest state-of-the-art technology, the microprocessor-based respiration monitor has features that can be adapted to individual needs. Early warning of problems with the patient’s breathing ensures that appropriate intervention can be commenced immediately.
The portability of the instrument and mounting options make it ideal for use in the full range of hospital settings: NICU; maternity; and paediatric care. The monitor is simple to set up and operate, with disposable respiration sensor, and uses standard AA batteries.
