[Marziabo Frechette]

Spacelabspatient monitors offer fast access to comprehensive patient information where and when needed. In this way, our monitors help speed and support your decisions, which in turn can improve response time, advance patient care, and enhance patient safety.

Our continuous monitoring solutions offer 100% touchscreen accessible tools and navigation. Consistency and flexibility are built into every monitor for intuitive ease of use across a full range of care settings with a minimum of training.

Qube is well-suited for use in high acuity neonatal, pediatric, and adult care, as well as perioperative environments. With wireless networking and two batteries, Qube supports extended transport for up to eight hours.

Compared with other dietary, lifestyle, and metabolic risk factors, high blood pressure is the leading cause of death in women and the second-leading cause of death in men.1 Findings of a study suggest that ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is the most cost-effective monitoring strategy for most adults regardless of their initial clinic blood pressure screen results.2

Spacelabs latest generation ABPM has been validated against the three most recognized international protocols and designed with innovative new features such as Child mode and Comfort mode to reduce patient anxiety and increase compliance. With many clinical references, Spacelabs blood pressure monitors have been the equipment of choice for blood pressure monitoring in clinical studies and research.

The ADT Interface collects admission, discharge and transfer information via the hospital network and stores it in a centralized database. This enables you to automatically populate current patient information in the monitor, saving time and reducing the potential for errors in data entry. Patient administrative data is readily available, without searching in other systems. Our bar code scanning technology can help to automate the process.

The 12-Lead Interface enables you to export diagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG) reports from a Spacelabs bedside monitor to an ECG management system, eliminating the need for an ECG cart and technician. The interface delivers reports through a single link to your ECG management system in the format required by that system. It works with all major ECG management systems, such as GE Muse or Phillips Tracemaster.

Our peer to peer architecture removes any dependency on central stations, reducing points of failure and simplifying the flow of data to the database. Vital signs data is collected and accessed from high dependency beds on wards as effectively as from critical care units with central stations.

In 1966, Spacelabs introduced its ground-breaking medical technology to civilian healthcare facilities. By 1968, Spacelabs had expanded its line of products to offer a range of bedside and multi-patient central station monitors.

The Command Module (91496) is the core of the Spacelabs patient monitoring system, providing the processing power for all basic physiologic parameters. You can select from a variety of configurations to suit the monitoring needs of specific patients or care units in the hospital.

With the optional Data Shuttle feature, transfer up to 24-hours of patient demographics, physiological data and applicable measurements settings between Spacelabs monitors without having to re-cable patients.

ECG software provides alarms for high and low heart rates, for ventricular fibrillation, and for asystole. Diagnostic ECG meets all the requirements and standards for electrocardiographic devices, providing the ability to obtain a diagnostic 12-lead report as a function of the monitoring system.

Pulse oximetry is used to continuously and noninvasively measure functional oxygen saturation in the blood. The pulse oximetry sensor contains two infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a photo detector to measure how the amount of light absorbed by the arteriolar bed varies during pulsations. The SpO2 sensor is also used to continuously and noninvasively measure pulse rate. The monitor displays this functional oxygen saturation as percent SpO2. When ordering the Command Module, you have a choice of SpO2 technologies: Masimo SET, Spacelabs, or Nellcor OxiMax.

You can monitor up to four temperature inputs. When two temperatures from the same module are being monitored, a delta value (temperature difference between the two readings) is calculated. The 91496 Command Module is a direct mode clinical thermometer as defined in ISO 80601-2-56. Temperatures are displayed in degrees centigrade. You can set independent high and low alarm limits for each temperature and for the delta temperature.

Episodic Temperature

In addition to temperature inputs on the Command Module, Xprezzon, Qube, and Qube Mini patient monitors support the Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer (TAT) model TAT-5000S-USB-GN to collect and display episodic temperature data.

Proper maintenance is essential to help ensure the best performance of your Spacelabs devices and accessories. The following documents provide detailed procedures for cleaning, disinfecting, and sterilization, with warnings and recommendations of proper cleaning agents.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cites the 1:10 dilution of sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach) as an intermediate-level disinfectant and identifies it as broad spectrum sporicidal with a concentration of at least 5000 ppm (0.5%).

Clorox Healthcare Bleach Wipes and PDI Sani-Cloth Bleach Wipes are similar products that were registered with the EPA during 2018 as effective against Mycobacterium Tuberculosis; Norovirus; C. difficile spores, and other pathogens. The manufacturers declare their bleach wipe products contain the CDC recommended 1:10 dilution of chlorine bleach.

You may use either of these bleach wipe products to disinfect the exterior plastic surfaces of Spacelabs patient monitors, patient cables, lead wires, and parameter sensors. Discard and replace any patient cables that are damaged, do not perform as expected, or are grossly contaminated.

Do not use chlorine bleach on any of the metal electrical contacts on the patient monitors or the patient cables. Chlorine may impact the metal plating materials and shorten the useful life of the electrical contacts.

Use a clean cotton swab, moist with alcohol (70-99% isopropyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, or methylated spirits) to gently clean the electrical contacts on the monitor and patient lead wires and sensors. Allow the cleaned surfaces to air-dry thoroughly before re-use.

Effect on Spacelabs monitoring equipment

Daily exposure to UV disinfectant lighting systems should not have any impact on Spacelabs patient monitors. The plastic used in the manufacture of Spacelabs patient monitors is rated for continuous outdoor use. It carries a UL rating of F1 which includes prolonged exposure to the full spectrum of UV light.

Effect on Spacelabs monitoring equipment

No adverse effects have occurred during prolonged exposure testing with 3% Hydrogen Peroxide on the plastics used in Spacelabs monitors.

Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) has recently made the news with portable facilities that are able to disinfect large quantities of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Gaseous hydrogen peroxide has been shown to be effective against a wide range of bacterial and viral organisms. This method starts with 35% medical grade Hydrogen Peroxide. The Hydrogen Peroxide is processed in a Gaseous Decontamination Generator to create and maintain a vapor concentration ranging from 500 to 750 ppm. The VHP is injected into the closed chamber, where the Relative Humidity may be reduced to as low as 20% and the chamber temperature may be elevated up to 350 C. The highest concentrations at the highest temperatures and the lowest RH seem to be most effective in the shortest period of time.

One of the Spacelabs recommended cleaning solutions is 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. Chemical exposure tests have been conducted with 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (30,000 ppm) that simulate daily cleanings over the projected life of the product.

This study evaluated the accuracy of blood pressure values provided by the Spacelabs 90202 and 90207 devices in comparison with intra-arterial recording in 19 subjects at rest and in nine subjects in ambulatory conditions (Oxford method). At rest Spacelabs monitors reflected intra-arterial systolic blood pressure values very closely but overestimated to a considerable extent intra-arterial diastolic blood pressure (Spacelabs-intra-arterial differences, -0.8 +/- 9.2, NS, and 9.1 +/- 8.8 mm Hg, p less than 0.01, for systolic and diastolic blood pressures, respectively). In ambulatory conditions Spacelabs-intra-arterial average differences in 24-hour values were +0.4 +/- 5.1 mm Hg for systolic blood pressure (NS) and +14.0 +/- 2.9 mm Hg for diastolic blood pressure (p less than 0.01) when group data were considered. The performance of both Spacelabs devices was worse when assessed in individual subjects or for each hourly interval. In spite of these differences between noninvasive and intra-arterial absolute blood pressure values, however, Spacelabs 90202 and 90207 monitors were able to faithfully reflect directional hour-to-hour changes in intra-arterial blood pressure (chi 2 = 18.2 and chi 2 = 23.1 for systolic and diastolic blood pressures, respectively, p less than 0.01). No differences were found between the performance of the two Spacelabs devices. Thus, although the absolute accuracy of blood pressure values provided by these monitors in ambulatory subjects is still limited, they seem to be suitable for studies aimed at assessing 24-hour blood pressure profiles quantitatively as well as qualitatively.
