Masimo - Next Generation SedLine® Brain Function Monitoring

Next Generation SedLine® Brain Function Monitoring

A More Complete Picture Starts with More Complete Data

Root® with Next Generation SedLine Brain Function Monitoring helps clinicians monitor the state of the brain under anesthesia with bilateral data acquisition and processing of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals.

Next Generation SedLine Features:

  • Four simultaneous channels of frontal EEG waveforms
  • An enhanced Patient State Index (PSi), a processed EEG parameter related to the effect of anesthetic agents
  • A Density Spectral Array (DSA) display, which contains left and right spectrograms representing the power of the EEG on both sides of the brain
  • An optional Multitaper DSA, which may enhance visibility of EEG features

Improved Patient State Index (PSi)
                         

Next Generation SedLine features an enhanced signal processing engine which provides an enhanced Patient Sate Index (PSi), a processed EEG parameter related to the effect of anesthetic agents.

EEG experts scored the improvement in PSi performance between the original SedLine PSi and Next Generation SedLine PSi. A 25% average improvement in Next Generation PSi performance was found.

Expert Scoring of Next Generation SedLine1

Masimo - Expert Scoring of Next Generation SedLine

To evaluate the performance of Original PSi and Next Generation PSi, independent EEG experts reviewed cases with both Original PSi and Next Generation PSi (blinded to the version), along with additional clinical information (MOAAS scores, EEG waveforms, drug doses, and vital signs). Compared to the expert-assessed anesthetic depth, an error was defined as a case when expert assessment of PSi was ‘Low’ or ‘High’ and success was defined as a case when the expert assessment of PSi was ‘Good’.

Parallel Signal Processing Engines

EMG is a common confounding factor that can interfere with EEG signals used in brain function monitoring.2 Next Generation SedLine utilizes Masimo’s Parallel Signal Processing Engines to extract a clearer EEG signal for computing PSi.

STERILIZATION CYCLES

Think Different

All pre-programmed cycles are validated as per EN285 standards. The customer can also run validation using the included validation ports for customer cycles according UNI EN ISO 17665-1.

The autoclave has programmed different cycles, depending on its application.

The cycles are as follows:

1. Sterilization cycle at 134°C for general porous load, empty glass ware and generally all load that is temperature-proof

2. Sterilization cycle at 134°C for general solid load, specifically for surgical instruments, empty glass ware and generally all load that is temperature-proof.

3. Sterilization cycle at 121°C for general porous load, empty glassware and generally all load that is temperature-proof

4. Flash cycle at 134°C

5. Steam penetration test cycle (Bowie & Dick)

6. Vacuum leak test

7. Open cycle (from 01 to 60 programmable cycles; must be validated; password protected)

PLASMA - LOW TEMPERATURE STERILIZER

Plasma – Low Temperature Sterilizer

Hospital & Laboratory Application

The Plasma Low Temperature Sterilizer CISA (as shown on the legend) according the regulations of the CSSD is installed in the clean area with pass through access of the sterile area.

The plasma machine operates based on sterilisation with hydrogen peroxide.

Peroxide has a high oxidising effect, when it enters into the sterilisation chamber in vacuum conditions and in the presence of an electromagnetic field, it reforms into free radicals, spreading over the instrument surfaces.

These active radicals kill bacteria and micro-organisms, even at low temperatures.

It is therefore effective on temperature sensitive materials or in any case on instruments which are not resistant to high temperatures.

The degree of vacuum reached by the machine also allows removing any remaining peroxide residuals at the end of the sterilisation, which would otherwise remain on.

How It Works

The plasma machine operates based on sterilisation with hydrogen peroxide. Peroxide has a high oxidising effect, when it enters into the sterilisation chamber in vacuum conditions and in the presence of an electromagnetic field, it reforms into free radicals, spreading over the instrument surfaces. These active radicals kill bacteria and micro-organisms, even at low temperatures. It is therefore effective on temperature sensitive materials or in any case on instruments which are not resistant to high temperatures. The degree of vacuum reached by the machine also allows removing any remaining peroxide residuals at the end of the sterilisation,which would otherwise remain on the instruments.

MEDICAL WASTE TREATMENT

Medical Waste Treatment

Shredding & Steam Sterilization of Medical Waste

The solution for medical waste treatment developed by CISA meets the needs of the community through safety materials and environmental safeguards for infectious diseases that can be brought by infectious and dangerous waste. In particular, the old method of combating this risk through incineration, which is still used, often causes dangerous gas emissions, such as dioxin, that are harmful to people and the environment.

The use of wet thermal method for medical waste is growing and, combined with CISA’s sterilization and disinfection know-how, a more secure system for managing has been developed. In addition to the standard MWT series and the waste treatment systems, CISA has introduced a compact system appropriate for clinics, small hospitals, veterinary hospitals, laboratories, mortuary establishments and small health assistance facilities for waste treatment that can be carried out internally at the facility.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

TREATMENT OPERATIONS

The material is carried in the treatment chamber, in cardboard boxes or specific bags for waste transportation and then treated within the MWT system; at the end of the process it is thrown away like an urban waste. The system is composed by shredder and sterilizer. The wastes are collocated in cardboard boxes or bags that are carried through a window directly inside the shredder’s hopper. After the loading operations, the shredding and sterilization cycle can start.

The treatment operations are:

  • The operator puts the material to be treated inside the loading window, placed above the system, directly inside the shredder’s hopper, opening the loading door. If the automatic function is activated, after the door closing the system starts the shredding phase automatically. The wastes are processed by automatic shredding cutting them in small pieces (in order to ease the steam penetration inside the machine) and let them fall in the sterilization chamber, thanks to the gravity force. After the chamber achieves the complete loading (the waste volume is measured by a sensor), the shredder stops its activity and the sterilizer starts the sterilization cycle of pathogenic waste.
  • The operator starts the specific cycle, chosen on the touch screen of the control panel, placed on the machine on the frontal side. The monitor displays many useful information with various messages useful for the operator.
  • The system starts the sterilization cycle automatically. The waste is treated with high pressure saturated steam, 134°C or 138°C cycles.
  • Both cycles are pre-set up on 3 – 3,5 bar (absolute pressure) and sterilization phase time of 5-10 minutes.
  • When the cycle is over, the bottom door opens automatically and the sterilized waste falls down and is gathered inside a trolley. As an optional, sterilized waste can be pushed inside plastic bags. The operator starts the suction system with a start button. The suction hose takes away the waste from the bottom of the machine and puts them automatically inside specific bags.
  • The operator takes the sterilized materials and can manage the treated waste like urban waste, according to the laws of the country.
