BD Alaris SPO2 Module 8210

BD Alaris SpO₂ Module 8210

The BD Alaris SpO₂ Module 8210 is a pulse oximeter designed for continuous, non-invasive monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and pulse rate in adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. Utilizing Nellcor OxiMax technology and sensors from the Nellcor OxiMax series, this module delivers accurate and reliable oxygenation data. Integrated within the Alaris Point of Care system, the 8210 connects seamlessly to the Alaris 8015 PCU base unit and works with Guardrails Suite MX software to provide vital infusion safeguards.

Key features include:

• Continuous Monitoring:
  Provides real-time tracking of blood oxygen levels and pulse rate, ensuring vital patient data is always available during infusion therapy.

• Nellcor OxiMax Technology:
  Uses advanced sensor technology for precise readings, even in challenging conditions.

• Smart Alarm Management:

  • SatSeconds Feature: Allows configuration of the time duration that %SpO₂ may remain outside preset limits before triggering an audible alarm, effectively reducing nuisance alarms.
  • Pre-Silence Feature: Permits alarms to be temporarily silenced for up to 120 seconds, with the option to cancel the pre-silence period if needed.

• Integrated Safety Functions:
  Automatically pauses PCA infusions and deactivates the patient dose request cord if the patient’s SpO₂ falls below hospital-defined limits when used in conjunction with the Alaris PCA module. This feature supports current ASA and APSF standards for oxygenation monitoring.

• User-Friendly Interface:
  A common user interface minimizes training time and simplifies programming for clinicians and biomedical technicians, ensuring ease of use.

• Customizable Alarm Limits & Trending Data:
  The Guardrails Suite MX software allows for tailored alarm limits by care area and provides trending data alongside PCA dosing information.
