Blackstone HS-400B

Product Code: CE-CD-3171

12.1 Inch Fanless Monitor with Defibrillation and Diathermy Protection, Digital Oximetry, HRV Analysis and Sixty Arrhythmia Events

The Blackstone HS-400B is a critical care monitor built on a 12.1-inch fanless chassis with a fourteen-language interface. Five parameters come standard; digital oximetry resists motion and low perfusion, heart rate variability is analysed, sixty arrhythmia alarm events are stored, and the monitor is defibrillation-proof when the correct special leads are fitted. Available through Medigear.uk.

After four monitor sheets leave it unsaid, this critical care monitor states defibrillation protection plainly and adds diathermy protection alongside it. That matters in a unit where patients are shocked and procedures happen at the bedside. What matters as much is the condition Blackstone puts in brackets. Special leads are necessary. Protection depends on the leads being right. A monitor ordered without them is not protected, so the leads belong on the same order rather than being sorted out later.

The oximetry claim is the other thing to read carefully, because it is unusually specific. Digital processing resisting motion, ambient light and weak perfusion names the three things that defeat pulse oximetry in practice. A shivering patient. A bright theatre light. Poor peripheral perfusion. A saturation reading that drops out when a patient is cold and moving is a reading a unit cannot use.

This critical care monitor quantifies analysis rather than claiming it. Sixty arrhythmia alarm events, and 71 events across all parameters, is a figure a department can judge. The HS-400A says analysis is performed. Heart rate variability is added here, and it appears nowhere else in the range. But note what is absent. ST segment analysis is listed on the HS-400A and not on this sheet. The two intensive care monitors carry different analysis sets, neither containing the other.

A unit needing ST measurement should not assume the higher number means the fuller machine. Medigear.uk clarifies that point aalong withthe lead requirement before thoffoffering ering e monitor i

The lead condition on this critical care monitor is the first thing to act on. Defibrillation protection lets a monitor survive a shock delivered to the patient it is attached to, and it depends on the correct leads being fitted. Ordinary leads leave the monitor unprotected, which means a department could own a defibrillation-proof monitor and still damage it, or worse, through a consumable choice made months after purchase. Leads are specified at order and their part numbers recorded.

The oximetry specification is worth weighing against what a unit actually sees. Critical care patients are frequently cold, peripherally shut down and either shivering or being moved, and those are exactly the conditions that produce dropout on a basic oximeter. A monitor claiming measurement at weak filling is claiming to work when it is most needed, and it is a claim worth testing rather than assuming, since no accuracy figures accompany it.

Drug concentration calculation with titration tables belongs in the same category of quietly useful. Infusions in critical care are calculated by weight and concentration, and doing that arithmetic on the monitor where the observations already are removes one transcription step from a process where errors have consequences. What the sheet does not describe is which drugs are held, whether the tables are editable and whether they can be locked, and those decide how the feature is governed.

Medigear.uk establishes the lead specification, the drug table arrangement and the conformity position before this critical care monitor reaches a unit.

Protection Actually Stated

Defibrillation and high-frequency surgical protection are both printed here, whereas three of the other four Blackstone monitors mention neither.

Oximetry Built for Difficult Patients

Resisting motion, ambient light, and poor perfusion addresses the three conditions in which ordinary oximetry drops out, which are common in critical care.

Analysis Given a Number

Sixty arrhythmia events and 71 alarm events across parameters is a figure a department can assess, rather than an unquantified claim of analysis.

Heart Rate Variability Included

HRV analysis appears on no other monitor in this range, adding a measure of autonomic state to the rhythm work.

Fanless for the Setting

Blackstone links the absence of a fan directly to cross-infection risk, and a monitor circulating no air suits critical care and isolation alike.

Drug Arithmetic at the Bedside

Concentration calculation with titration tables removes a transcription step from infusion setting, where errors carry real consequences.

Substantial Pressure Storage

Four thousand eight hundred blood pressure groups is four times that of the HS-400A and nearly seven times that of the HS-300H.

Three Ways to a Central Station

Cable, Wi-Fi and cellular are all supported, so the monitor suits a wired ward, a wireless one or a site without either.

This critical care monitor carries the most complete sheet Blackstone publishes, and the only one that answers the question the others leave open. Defibrillation and diathermy protection are both stated. The arrhythmia work is quantified at sixty events rather than merely claimed. The oximetry addresses motion, ambient light and weak filling, which are the conditions that defeat oximeters in the patients this monitor is meant for. Heart rate variability, drug titration tables and 4800 stored pressures round it out. Two things need care. Defibrillation protection depends on special leads, so those should be on the order rather than discovered later, and the part numbers should be recorded for reordering. And ST segment analysis appears on the HS-400A and not here, so the two intensive care monitors differ in what they analyse rather than one simply exceeding the other. Medigear.uk settles both before this critical care monitor is quoted.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

Blackstone says protection depends on them, that the monitor is defibrillation-proof, and that special leads are necessary, so a unit fitted with ordinary leads is not protected. The correct leads are specified at order and their part numbers recorded for reordering.

Because it names the three things that defeat pulse oximetry in practice: motion, ambient light and weak peripheral filling. Critical care patients are often cold, shut down, and being moved, so an oximeter that keeps reading in those conditions does the work that matters.

Not according to this sheet, where the HS-400A states it does. This machine analyses heart rate variability and holds sixty arrhythmia events instead. The two intensive care monitors carry different analysis sets, so a unit needing ST measurement should establish which machine provides it.

It holds 60 arrhythmia alarm events, alongside 71 alarm events across all parameters. That is a figure a department can judge against its needs, where the HS-400A claims arrhythmia analysis without saying how many rhythms it recognises.

It calculates concentration and provides titration tables so infusion arithmetic can be done at the monitor rather than separately. The sheet does not say which drugs are held, whether entries can be edited, or whether they can be locked against alteration.

By cable, by Wi-Fi or over a 3G cellular link. The cellular option carries patient data across a public network rather than the hospital's own, which brings data protection requirements that a wired connection inside a trust does not, so that arrangement is established first.

Because a fan draws air through a chassis and pushes it out around a bed space, Blackstone makes the link directly; in a critical care or isolation setting, a monitor that circulates nothing is preferable, and it also has no fan to fail.
