GE Healthcare and Covidien have unveiled a five-year, global collaboration to incorporate Covidien's measurement technologies into GE's patient monitors.
Covidien's Nellcor respiratory function portfolio, which includes Nellcor pulse oximetry with OxiMax technology and the Bis brain monitoring system, is now available on GE patient monitors, including the Carescape B850 and B650 monitors.
In turn, Carescape monitor B850 provides access to Covidien measurements. Bidirectional information flows between the monitor and hospital information systems, such as electronic medical records, and electrocardiogram measurements without a separate monitor, the firms said.
