Apnoea/Respiration Monitor

[Guest OwensP]

Salutations everyone

 

We currently have a need to idnetify suitable dedicated non-invasive respiration monitors incorporating an apnoea alarm that utilise disposable sensors for attaching to the patient. If you have such devices in use what makes/models are they? Alternatively if there is a device on the market that doesn't require a patient sensor connection that would also be interesting - is this possible? Well many years ago I remember a company heroically developing such a device based on radar & detecting babies chest movements.

 

We currently have the Graseby MR10 in use but it's about to come off the market & an alternative device we've seen utilises a reuseable sensor which our Infection Control department forbids.

 

Look forward to any replies. Of course such a device needs to be CE marked & not interested in the devices sold in high street shops for home use - unless there's something exceptional you want to bring to our attention.
