SenTec V-Sign™ Illuminate ventilation and oxygenation
The Digital SenTec V-Sign™ Sensor 2 is a Stow-Severinghaus-type PCO2 Sensor combined with reflectance 2-wavelength pulse oximetry. The highly integrated digital sensor head comprises a micro pH-electrode and an optical oximetry unit. The sensor temperature is regulated by two independent temperature sensors. All data is digitized in the sensor head, allowing the transmission of robust, low-noise signals to the monitor. Sensor sensitivity and calibration data is stored in the sensor head during manufacturing and regularly updated during use. Automatic sensor calibration ensures that the system is “Ready for use” when needed and allows for a long measuring time of up to 12 hours

SenTec’s sophisticated algorithms ensure high accuracy and minimal technical drift.5 Additionally, the V-STATS™ software provides a retrospective residual drift correction.
SenTec‘s unique transcutaneous artifact detection algorithm provides reliable data when conventional tcPCO2 monitors tend to fail.
The monitor allows for setting a baseline and markers just before changing the treatment of patients. The impact on patients’ ventilation and oxygenation can thus be objectively and easily assessed.
