GE b30, Technical Reference Manual

Page: 4 / 252

Intended purpose (Indications for use)
The B30 patient monitor is intended for multiparameter patient monitoring. The B30 monitor is indicated
for continuous monitoring of hemodynamic parameters (including arrhythmia and ST segment analysis)
and respiratory status and creation of limit alarms.
The B30 monitor is intended for all hospital patients and all hospital departments including intra-hospital
transport but excluding harsh physical environment like MRI.
The Patient side module E-PSM(P)W and accessories are indicated for monitoring of hemodynamic
parameters of all hospital patients. The hemodynamic parameters of the module comprise ECG (including
ST-Segment and arrhythmia), impedance respiration, oscillometric NIBP (sys/dia/mean), temperature,
SpO
2
(including monitoring during conditions of clinical patient motion), and invasive blood pressure.
Impedance respiration measurement is indicated for patients ages three years and up. The NIBP
measurement is indicated for patients who weight 5kg (11 lb) or up.The E-PSM(P)W is intended for all
hospital departments including intra-hospital transport but excluding harsh physical environment like
MRI.
The extension module N-FCREC (option N-FCREC or N-FC) is indicated for monitoring of CO
2
and
respiration rate of all hospital patients. CO
2
measurements are indicated for patients who weight over 5
kg (11 lb).
The B30 monitor and N-F(C)(REC) Extension Module and E-PSM(P)W Patient Side Module are indicated for
use by qualified medical personnel only.
