To help reduce alarm fatigue and avoid false
alarms during mechanical ventilation, Aisys CS²
features Auto Alarm Limits software to help
clinicians manage CO2 limit alarms and MV/TV
alarm limits on a case-by-case basis. Also
included is a mechanism to apply upper and
lower limits for MV, TV, RR and EtCO2. The limits
are calculated using a pre-defined formula
based on the current measured values for
these parameters during an individual case
for tailored patient care.
The advanced digital features built into the Aisys CS2 were
designed to work together to make your workflow easier. Each
piece of hardware, software and technology fits together in
harmony to elevate your Carestation to become the information
