The Life Scope PT (BSM-1733, BSM-1753 and BSM-1763) is a bedside monitor from Nihon Kohden that is intended for transport monitoring. The device has a 5.7-inch touchscreen, a transport mode and a standard mode, and three MULTI connections on which the monitor automatically recognises the type of sensor cable.
The three versions differ in the SpO₂ technology used: Masimo (BSM-1733), Nellcor (BSM-1753) or Nihon Kohden (BSM-1763). With the battery, the monitor weighs 1.57 kg.
Specifications
- Type
- Bedside monitor for transport monitoring, display, review, storage and alarming of multiple physiological parameters in adult, paediatric and neonatal patients. Two display modes: transport mode and standard mode.
- Versions (SpO₂ technology)
- BSM-1733: Masimo SpO₂. BSM-1753: Nellcor SpO₂. BSM-1763: Nihon Kohden SpO₂.
- Screen
- 5.7-inch colour TFT touchscreen; resolution 640 × 480 dots; visible area 115.2 × 86.4 mm.
- Waveform display
- Maximum of 9 waveforms (12 waveforms with 12-lead ECG). Sweep speed 50, 25, 12.5 or 6.25 mm/s.
- Standard parameters
- ECG (3, 6 or 10 electrodes), respiration (impedance method), SpO₂, NIBP and temperature (maximum 2 channels).
- Parameters via MULTI connections
- Three MULTI connections (smart cable): the monitor automatically recognises the connected cable type. Per connection, IBP, cardiac output (CO), CO₂, BIS or SpO₂-2 is possible. IBP maximum 3 channels; CO via thermodilution.
- ECG analysis
- Arrhythmia detection with multi-template matching (ec1 software), up to 23 arrhythmia items. With 10 electrodes: 12-lead ECG simultaneously on the screen and 12-lead interpretation (ECAPS 12C). ST analysis up to 12 channels (10 electrodes).
- NIBP
- Oscillometric; measurement mode deflation and inflation (iNIBP). Measurement range adult/child: SYS 40–280 mmHg, DIA 10–235 mmHg, MAP 10–280 mmHg. Neonate: SYS 30–140 mmHg, DIA 10–110 mmHg, MAP 10–140 mmHg. Operating modes: manual, STAT, periodic, lumbar.
- SpO₂ and pulse rate
- Declared range 70–100% SpO₂. Pulse rate display range: BSM-1733 25–240, BSM-1753 20–300, BSM-1763 30–300 beats/min. PI available on BSM-1733 and BSM-1763. ΔSpO₂ alarm only on BSM-1763.
- esCCO (optional)
- Continuous, non-invasive cardiac output (esCCO, esCCI, esSV, esSVI) with optional software QP-172P; according to the technical data only on the BSM-1763.
- Storage and review
- Trend graphs, vital signs list, full disclosure (maximum 5 waveforms), arrhythmia and ST recall: up to 72 hours (24 hours in transport mode). Alarm history: 32,768 files (8,192 in transport mode). NIBP list: 2,048 files (512 in transport mode).
- Alarms
- Alarm levels: crisis (red, flashing), warning (yellow, flashing) and advisory (yellow or blue, continuous). Alarm indicator on top of the monitor; alarm suspend 1, 2 or 3 minutes; escalation alarm.
