## Indications for use
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 Dash3000/4000/5000 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 restricted to: electrocardiogram, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, 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. Solar 8000M/i: The Solar 8000M/i patient monitoring system is a multi-parameter physiological patient monitoring system intended for use on adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. It provides uninterrupted monitoring of physiological patient data. The Solar 8000M/i patient monitoring system is capable of monitoring and analyzing the following parameters for all patient populations: electrocardiogram, invasive pressure, non-invasive blood pressure, pulse, temperature, cardiac output, respiration, pulse oximetry, venous oxygen saturation, transcutaneous pO2 anfd pCO2, C02 and respiratory mechanics. The Solar 8000M/i patient monitoring system is capable of monitoring the following parameters for adult and pediatric patient populations: anesthetic agent concentrations, 02, impedance cardiography, electroencephalography and bispectral index. The Solar 8000MI/i patient monitoring system interfaces with a variety of third-party peripheral medical devices that support serial and/or analog data outputs. Information from these devices can be displayed, trended and stored in the monitoring system. The Solar 8000M/i patient monitoring system also provides physiological data over the UNITY NETWORK TM .
