The Solar@ 9500 Information Monitoring System 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, in high acuity areas such as operating room (OR), post anesthesia recovery (PARR), critical care, surgical intensive care, respiratory intensive care, coronary care, medical intensive care, pediatric intensive care, or neonatal intensive care. Physiologic data includes electrocardiogram, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, pulse, temperature, cardiac output, respiration, pulse oximetry, carbon dioxide, oxygen, anesthetic gas concentrations and mixed venous oxygen saturation, as summarized in the Solar@9500 Operator’s Manual.
The Solar@9500 InformationMonitoring System is also intended to provide physiologic data over the Unity network to clinical information systems and allow the user to access hospital INTRAnet data via a Web Browser at the point-of-care.
This information can be displayed, trended, stored, and printed.
