The Life Scope VS is a series of bedside monitors from Nihon Kohden with a touchscreen in two sizes: 12.1 inch (BSM-3532, BSM-3552, BSM-3562) and 15 inch (BSM-3733, BSM-3753, BSM-3763). Via smart-cable MULTI connections, IBP, CO, CO₂ and BIS, among others, are connected; the monitor recognises the cable type automatically.
The versions differ in SpO₂ technology (Masimo, Nellcor or Nihon Kohden). Data can be exchanged via LS-NET or the HL7 protocol, and optional modules extend the monitor with multigas, EEG and NMT, among others.
Specifications
- Type
- Bedside monitor for monitoring, display, review, storage and alarming of multiple physiological parameters in adult, paediatric and neonatal patients. Two sizes: BSM-3500 series (12.1 inch) and BSM-3700 series (15 inch).
- Versions (SpO₂ technology)
- BSM-3532 and BSM-3733: Masimo SpO₂. BSM-3552 and BSM-3753: Nellcor SpO₂. BSM-3562 and BSM-3763: Nihon Kohden SpO₂.
- Screen
- BSM-3532/3552/3562: 12.1-inch colour TFT touchscreen, 800 × 600 dots, visible area 246.0 × 184.5 mm. BSM-3733/3753/3763: 15-inch colour TFT touchscreen, 1024 × 768 dots, visible area 304.1 × 228.1 mm.
- Standard parameters
- ECG (3, 6 or 10 electrodes), respiration (impedance method), SpO₂, NIBP and temperature (2 channels) via dedicated connections.
- Parameters via MULTI connections
- Smart cable: the monitor recognises the cable type automatically. Per MULTI connection, IBP, CO, CO₂, APCO, BIS or NMT is possible. Up to 6 MULTI connections (BSM-3532/3552/3562) or up to 7 (BSM-3733/3753/3763) with the smart expansion unit AA-374P.
- Optional modules and parameters
- Optional, with additional module/unit and interface card (QI-372P or QI-374P): multigas (CO₂, O₂, N₂O and anaesthetic agents halothane, isoflurane, enflurane, sevoflurane, desflurane), flow/Paw, 8-channel EEG, neuromuscular transmission (NMT), esCCO (software QP-033P/034P; only BSM-3562/3763).
- ECG analysis
- Arrhythmia detection with multi-template matching (ec1 software), up to 23 arrhythmia items. 12-channel ECG with 10 electrodes, 12-lead interpretation (ECAPS 12C) and ST analysis up to 12 channels.
- NIBP
- Oscillometric. 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, PWTT and SIM. With PWTT an NIBP measurement can be started in the event of a sudden change in circulation; iNIBP requires the program QP-038P.
- SpO₂ and pulse rate
- BSM-3562/3763 (Nihon Kohden): accuracy (rms) ±2% SpO₂ at 80–100% and ±3% SpO₂ at 70–80%; pulse rate 30–300 beats/min. BSM-3532/3733 (Masimo) and BSM-3552/3753 (Nellcor): accuracy depends on the sensor (see sensor manual); pulse rate display range 25–240 and 20–300 beats/min respectively.
- Temperature
- 2 channels (fixed), measurement range 0–45 °C, thermistor probe 400 series (YSI). Accuracy main unit ±0.1 °C (25–45 °C) and ±0.2 °C (0–25 °C).
- Storage and review
- Trend graph and vital signs list: 72 hours. Full disclosure: 72 hours, maximum 5 waveforms. Alarm history: 16,384 files. NIBP list: 1,024 files. 12-lead analysis: 18 files.
- Alarms
- Alarm levels: crisis (red, flashing), warning (yellow, flashing) and advisory. Alarm suspend 1, 2 or 3 minutes or off; alarm reset; escalation alarm. Alarm indicator on top of the monitor.
