PRODUCT
GE Healthcare, Dash 3000/4000/5000. The Dash 3000/4000/5000 patient monitor is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner. The intended use of the system is to monitor physiologic parameter data on adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. The Dash 3000/4000/5000 patient monitor is designed as a bedside, portable, and intra-hospital transport monitor that can operate in all professional medical facilities including but not limited to: emergency department, operating room, post anesthesia recovery, critical care, surgical intensive care, respiratory intensive care, coronary care, medical intensive care, pediatric intensive care, or neonatal intensive care areas located in hospitals, outpatient clinics, free-standing surgical centers, and other alternate care facilities. Physiologic data includes, but is not limited to: electrocardiogram, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure (NBP), heart rate, temperature, cardiac output, respiration, pulse oximetry, carbon dioxide, bi-spectral index, impedance cardiography, oxygen, and anesthetic agents as summarized in the operator’s manual. The Dash 3000/4000/5000 patient monitor is also intended to provide physiologic data over the UNITY NETWORKTM indirectly to clinical information systems (via our Enterprise Gateway) and allow the user to access hospital data at the point-of-care. The information can be displayed, trended, stored, and printed. The Dash 3000/4000/5000 patient monitor was developed to interface with nonproprietary third party peripheral devices that support serial data outputs.
