and inspired breath (etCO2 and FiCO2) and respiration rate (RR). It is intended for use
with neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients in hospitals and hospital-type facilities.
The optional Oridion module also provides the clinician with an Integrated Pulmonary
Index
™ (IPI). The IPI is based on four parameters provided by the monitor: end-tidal
carbon dioxide (etCO2), respiration rate (RR), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and pulse rate
(PR). The IPI is a single index of an adult or pediatric patient's ventilatory status displayed
on a scale of 1–10, where 10 indicates optimal pulmonary status. IPI monitoring displays
a single value that represents the patient's pulmonary parameters and alerts clinicians to
changes in the patient's pulmonary status.
The IPI is an adjunct to, and is not intended to replace, vital signs monitoring.
Optional compatible weight scales (e.g., Health o meter ® ) can be used for height,
weight, and BMI input.
The optional EarlySense ® (Everon) System is intended for continuous measurement of
respiration rate, heart rate, and movement in an automatic contact-less manner, in a
hospital or clinic setting. The system is indicated for use in children, adolescents, and
adults. The operation of the EarlySense has been studied in children (weight ≥ 10 Kg)
and adults (weight <111 Kg) during sleep and resting condition.
This product is available for sale only upon the order of a physician or licensed healthcare
