CARESCAPE Monitor B850

The evolution of

Critical Care:

make efficient and informed decisions.

In a critical care unit, multiple data sources, gaps in data and incomplete information
can make it challenging to deliver quality care. You are forced to spend time gathering
information from multiple systems or trying to find vital records buried in hard to
access systems.

The CARESCAPE™ Monitor B850 helps address these issues and more by combining
uninterrupted data streams, bedside access to your patients’ electronic records and
advanced tools to assess readiness for ventilator weaning, as well as all of the features
and functionality critical care staff depend on – all in one monitor. All of this information
is delivered in an intuitive, easy-to-use user interface resulting in fewer repetitive tasks,
faster access and quicker analysis than if you were accessing this information from
separate systems, enabling better decision support.

The CARESCAPE Monitor B850
combines the features and
functionality you need to provide
exceptional care:

• Access the right information, when and

where you need it to make more informed
critical decisions
