## Indications for use
This devices are capable of monitoring: * Heart Rate * Respiration Rate * Invasive Pressure * Non-Invasive Pressure * Arrhythmia * Temperature * Arterial oxygen saturation * Pulse rate * central apnea * end-tidal C02* * ST Segment Analysis This device will produce visual and audible alarms if any of these parameters vary beyond preset limits and produce timed or alarm recordings. This device will connect to R50 recorders, either directly or via the INFINITY network. When a GammaXL is connected to a SCIO module sampled breathing gases from adults and pediatrics can be displayed. The gas module continuously measures the content of C02, N20, 02 and one of the anesthetic agents, Halothane, Isoflurane, Enflurane, Sevoflurane and Desflurane in any mixture and communicates real time and derived gas information to the GammaXL. The device is intended to be used in an environment where patient care is provided by Healthcare Professionals, i.e. physicians, nurses, and technicians, trained on the use of the device, who will determine when use of the device is indicated, based upon their professional assessment of the patient's medical condition. The devices are intended for use in the Adult, Pediatric and Neonatal populations, with the exception of Arrhythmia and ST Segment Analysis which are not intendedfor the neonatal population. * not available with Infinity Vista
