TCO2M
Transcutaneous
Monitor
TCO2M® is the
latest in transcutaneous CO2 and O2
monitoring technology from Novametrix. This lightweight, portable monitor with
its easy-to-see display and rugged, reliable sensors, is ideal for use in the
NICU, PICU, vascular lab, hyperbaric medicine, wound care, or sleep lab;
wherever it is important to provide accurate continuous measurement of
transcutaneous CO2 and O2.
Product Highlights
Real time graphic trends
along with numeric values provide truly continuous CO2
and O2 monitoring.
A simple menu system with
helpful messages guides the user through setup and alert conditions.
Built-in 24-hour trend
memory with graphic and histogram displays for analysis of patient history.
The lightweight portable
monitor can operate from AC power or from its internal battery.
Sensor calibration is
quick, fully automatic and uses a true two-point method for accurate
calibrations.
Automatic barometric
pressure compensation for accurate calibrations with no need to set/remember "cal
values".
TCO2M
accepts combination CO2/O2
sensors, and CO2 or O2 only
sensors for optimum versatility.
Sensors provide superior
performance, fast response, are rugged, reliable and remembraned in seconds.
An automatic site timer and
skin friendly attachment systems enhance patient safety and comfort.
Technical Specifications
TCO2M Monitor Model 860

- Measurement Range
- Carbon Dioxide 0-255 mmHg (0-25.5 kPA). Oxygen 0-800 mmHg (0-99.9 kPA)
- CO2 Metabolic Correction
- Displayed pCO2 is compensated for metabolic factors
related to the temperature effect and CO2 production.
- Parameter Alerts
- CO2 and O2 limit alerts,
audible and visible. User selectable, continuously displayed, retained in
memory.
- Alert Silence
- Two minute alert silence with LED indicator. Audio Off with LED indicator
(user can disable if needed).
- Temperature Section
- User selectable 37-45° C in 0.5° C increments. Can be
continuously displayed. Audible & visible alarm if actual/set temperatures
differ by >0.2° C. Two fully independent thermistors monitor and control
temperature. Heater power shutdown with audible & visible alarm at over-temp
(45.5° C) or if thermistors differ by >0.5°.
- Site Timer
- Automatically tracks sensor site duration, provides audible and visible
alarms, automatic shutdown of heater power once timer expires. User selectable
durations in 0.5 hr increments up to 5, 8, or 12 hour maximum, plus off.
- Local Power
- The power required to maintain sensor temperature is measured and
displayed. Range: 0-800 mW. User selectable power reference point allows for
quick power trend analysis (LPR).
- Real Time Trends
- Continuously displayed user selectable/scalable real time 10, 20, 30 minute
trends of CO2, O2 or Local
Power.
