Covidien and GE Healthcare have announced a new five-year, global collaboration, according to a news release.
The collaboration will see Covidien measurement technologies integrated into GE Healthcare patient monitors.
Covidient's Nellcor respiratory function portfolio, which includes Nellcor pulse oximetry with OxiMax technology, and the BIS brain monitoring system, are now available on many GE Healthcare patient monitors, including CARESCAPE monitor B850 and CARESCAPE monitor B650.
"The advanced parameter portfolio from Covidien, coupled with GE Healthcare's patient monitors, supports clinicians in detecting subtle but critical variations in a patient's status," said Robert White, president of Covidien respiratory and monitoring solutions, in the release. "By delivering the full picture of a patient's physiological status, patient safety and positive outcomes can be advanced."
