The CARESCAPE Monitor B450 is intended for use on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients and on one patient at a time. The CARESCAPE Monitor B450 is indicated for monitoring of: -hemodynamic (including ECG, ST segment, arrhythmia detection, ECG diagnostic analysis and measurement, invasive pressure, non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry, cardiac output (thermodilution and pulse contour), temperature, mixed venous oxygen saturation, and central venous oxygen saturation, -Respiratory (impedance respiration, airway gases (CO2, O2, N2O and anesthetic agents), and spirometry) -neurophysiological status (including electroencephalography, Entropy, Bispectral Index (BIS), and neuromuscular transmission).

Reason for Recall

When multiple CARESCAPEMonitor B450 or B850 units are connected to the same network and a network overload occurs for a prolonged time, the monitors may simultaneously restart as designed. The monitor restart will not be completed until the network issue has been corrected.
