GE Carescape B650 Monitor

The GE Carescape B650 is a versatile, high-acuity patient monitor that combines the legacies of Marquette Electronics and Datex-Ohmeda into a single, powerful platform. Engineered to support improved patient flow and clinical decision-making, the B650 delivers precise data continuity from the ER to the OR, ICU, and NICU. With its compact design, pivoting frame, and intuitive user interface, it fits ergonomically into constrained environments while providing the advanced clinical parameters needed for critical care and anesthesia.

Key Features and Benefits

• Unified Clinical Legacy: Integrates the superior hemodynamic monitoring of Marquette with the advanced anesthesia gas monitoring of Datex-Ohmeda, providing a comprehensive solution for all care areas.
• Data Continuity (PDM): The CARESCAPE Patient Data Module captures hemodynamic data during transport and automatically uploads it when reconnected, eliminating data gaps and speeding up admit/discharge workflows.
• Advanced Diagnostic Algorithms: Features trusted GE algorithms including EK-Pro arrhythmia analysis, DINAMAP SuperSTAT non-invasive blood pressure, and 12SL diagnostic ECG with direct 2-way MUSE communication.
• Customizable Visualization: The “Pages & Profiles” functionality allows clinicians to configure the monitor based on unit standards or patient needs, displaying 8 to 14 waveforms with customizable overlays.
• Flexible Interface: Controlled via a responsive touchscreen, the signature Trim Knob®, or hard keys, ensuring ease of use for staff with varying preferences and experience levels.
• Auto View on Alarm (AVOA): Automatically shares high-priority alarms across the care unit to improve reaction times and patient safety.
• EMR Connectivity: Seamlessly interfaces with hospital EMR systems through standard HL7 protocols and the Aware® Gateway for efficient documentation.

Module Compatibility

The B650 is highly modular, allowing for specific configurations based on the department:

• Hemodynamic Modules: Supports E-COP (Thermodilution Cardiac Output), E-PiCCO (Continuous Cardiac Output), and Masimo®/Nellcor® SpO2 options.
• Respiratory Modules: Compatible with compact airway modules (E-sCO, E-sC(Ai)O) for monitoring anesthetic agents, gas exchange, and patient spirometry.
• Neurology Modules: Supports E-Entropy, E-NMT (Neuromuscular Transmission), and E-BIS modules for assessing depth of anesthesia.

Specifications

• Display: 15-inch diagonal LCD screen
• Resolution: 1024 x 768 pixels
• Waveforms: Up to 14 traces with overlays and insets
• Controls: Touchscreen (optional), Trim Knob®, and Hard Keys
• Sweep Speed: Adjustable (0.625, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50 mm/sec)
• Connectivity: USB ports for keyboard/mouse/barcode readers; HL7 output
• Data Storage: 24-hour trend data with PDM
• Mounting: Pivoting frame compatible with wall mounts, roll stands, and anesthesia machines

Clinical Applications

The GE Carescape B650 is designed to adapt to the unique needs of various hospital departments:

• Operating Room: dedicated software for anesthesia provides insight into agent usage and patient readiness for extubation.
• Intensive Care Unit: Advanced respiratory and metabolic monitoring aids in assessing readiness for ventilator weaning.
• NICU: Specific profiles and sensitive monitoring algorithms ensure safety for neonatal populations.
• Emergency & PACU: Durability and transport capabilities make it ideal for high-traffic, fast-paced environments.

Why Choose the GE Carescape B650?

The GE Carescape B650 represents a smart investment in long-term clinical flexibility. By offering backward compatibility with existing Marquette and Datex-Ohmeda modules, it reduces the cost of ownership while providing state-of-the-art monitoring. Its ability to scale from a basic transport monitor to a full cardiac or anesthesia workstation makes it a universal solution for hospitals seeking standardization without compromise.
