Novametrix


Model 860

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.
