Patient monitoring system module, blood gas, transcutaneous

This category refers to a small, dedicated module designed to measure blood gas levels through the skin, specifically the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) and carbon dioxide (pCO2), using a heated sensor to enhance local blood flow. It is intended to be used as a component of a larger patient monitoring system, providing real-time transcutaneous blood gas data to support clinical assessment.

The module functions by plugging into a standardized slot on a parent monitoring device or module rack, where it integrates with the main system that displays and processes the measured signals. As an accessory to a patient monitoring system, it is regulated and supplied as part of that system’s overall configuration, with its regulatory status dependent on the parent device and jurisdiction.
