Patient Monitors

Emergency responders in Minnesota trusted capnography to save the life of a man whose heart had stopped for 96 minutes, according to an NPR story.

Capnography showed that despite not having a pulse, Howard Snitzer had good carbon dioxide readings, suggesting that blood was still flowing to the heart and brain, causing emergency responders to keep administering CPR even though it would have been reasonable to stop. Medical personnel shocked Snitzer’s heart 12 times and gave intravenous drugs to restore a regular heartbeat.

As capnography equipment becomes standard for emergency responders, DRE offers the DRE Waveline EZ or the DRE Echo CO2.

DRE, a premier medical and surgical equipment supplier, now offers DRE ASM 6000 Series multi-parameter monitors that feature clinically-proven technology and crystal clear, high resolution displays.

DRE, Inc. — named a Company of the Year by Business First of Louisville — has expanded its diverse selection of patient monitors to include the DRE ASM 6000 and DRE ASM 6000 Pro, sleek patient monitors with high resolution color TFT displays.

“DRE ASM 6000 Series monitors provide everything you need in today’s demanding healthcare environment,” said Justin Jeffries, Marketing Director at DRE. “They are perfect for surgeons in office-based and ambulatory surgery centers.”

Each DRE ASM 6000 Series patient monitor measures non-invasive blood pressure, ECG (3/5 leads), respiration, dual temperature and SpO2. Configurations are available that measure EtCO2, and the DRE ASM 6000 Pro is available with anesthetic agent monitoring with automatic agent ID.

DRE ASM 6000 Series monitors are available with increasing and decreasing pulse tones; adult, pediatric and neonatal modes; and user-selectable screen formats and colors. Each monitor features a crystal clear display that is easy to see from long distances and sharp angles.

Mobile DRE ASM 6000 Series monitors have a rugged built-in handle and provide up to four hours of battery operation. Each monitor features trending and paperless USB data management, and is available with a built-in dual channel recorder.

DRE ASM 6000 Series monitors are the latest in DRE’s extensive patient monitor lineup, which includes the DRE Waveline Plus vital signs monitor, DRE Waveline Nano handheld pulse oximeter and DRE Tempo Series fetal monitors. DRE also offers the DRE Envoy PDM, a touchscreen central station, and the DRE Envoy TS, a telemetry system that integrates with multi-parameter patient monitors and ECG transmitters.

The DRE ASM 6000 patient monitor and DRE ASM 6000 Pro patient monitor are available now from DRE. Physicians and surgeons can learn more about each monitor, as well as other new and professionally refurbished medical products, by visiting www.dremed.com.

The DRE Tempo Series includes four economically-priced fetal monitors—the DRE Tempo Basic, DRE Tempo Dual, DRE Tempo Pro and DRE Tempo II. Each is designed for performance and will help launch DRE into more segments of the healthcare industry, says Justin Jeffries, Director of Marketing at DRE.

“DRE continually expands its selection of dependable, economically-priced medical equipment in an effort to meet the needs of more segments of the healthcare industry,” says Jeffries. “OB/GYN and fertility clinics looking for affordable, reliable fetal monitors should look no further than the DRE Tempo Series.”

About the size of a laptop, DRE Tempo Series fetal monitors have a small footprint and are easy to mount to a wall. They also feature highly sensitive transducers that use nine-crystal ultrasound technology and automatically detect fetal movement.

Each DRE Tempo Series fetal monitor has a built-in thermal printer that helps document fetal traces. Physicians can also utilize built-in Insight Software to transfer data directly to a PC in real time. This allows physicians to effectively manage patient information, print on standard paper, and quickly record events and comments.

The portable DRE Tempo II is the most fully-featured monitor in the series. It has a large LCD screen that simultaneously displays waveforms and numeric data, and it has a powerful memory that can reload 12 hours of patient data.

“You can also choose from a variety of helpful features, such as Twin FHR, DECG and IUP, fetal track data storage and a fetal stimulator,” says Jeffries.
