Blackstone HS80

Product Code: CE-CD-3168

12.1 Inch Colour Display with Six Parameters as Standard, Wired and Wireless Central Monitoring, for Adult, Paediatric and Neonatal Use

The Blackstone HS80 is a ward patient monitor built around a 12.1-inch colour display, the largest in the Blackstone monitor range. Six parameters come standard rather than by configuration; it supports central monitoring by wire and wirelessly, includes a rechargeable lithium battery, and is claimed for adult, paediatric, and neonatal use. Capnography and invasive pressure are offered as options. Available through Medigear.uk.

Of the three Blackstone monitors, this ward patient monitor is the cleanest. Every parameter is standard. ECG, blood pressure, saturation, pulse and respiration rate, temperature and respiration. There is no configuration to specify, and so none to get wrong. That is not true of the HS70, where one of three arrangements carries no ECG at all. The screen is also the largest in the range at 12.1 inches, which suits a bed space where a trace is read from across the room rather than from arm's length.

Set the three side by side, though, and a pattern appears worth naming. The HS-300H states defibrillation protection, diathermy protection and pacemaker compatibility. Neither this ward patient monitor nor the HS70 mentions one of them. So the only Blackstone monitor confirmed to survive a shock is the one without central monitoring. That is the unit likeliest to be carried about, rather than the one left standing at a bedside where a resuscitation happens.

Two smaller omissions round it out. No battery duration appears anywhere, where both siblings publish a figure. On a monitor unplugged to move a patient between bays, that is worth knowing. And the stand trolley is an option rather than part of the supply. A ward monitor generally needs mounting of some kind, so the trolley belongs on the quotation from the outset rather than being discovered afterwards.

Medigear.uk establishes the protection arrangements, the battery figure, and the conformity marking before offering the monitor to anyone.

A twelve-inch screen is the right size for a ward patient monitor at the bedside. Traces are read from the foot of a bed or from a doorway as often as from beside the patient, and a display that shows six parameters legibly at that distance does something a seven-inch panel cannot. This monitor is meant to stay where it is put, and the screen size reflects that intention.

Central monitoring is the feature a ward actually buys. Feeding several beds into a single station alters how observation is staffed, and a wireless link lets a monitor sit where the bed sits rather than where a socket happens to be. Left out are the band, the protocol and the reach. Hospital spectrum is allocated rather than free, so those figures are wanted while an installation is being planned, not once it has begun.

The protection question is the one to settle first. A ward monitor is attached to patients who may be defibrillated. A shock can damage a monitor without defibrillation protection it was never built to withstand. Diathermy protection matters wherever a procedure is done at the bedside. Pacemaker handling matters because a monitor counting pacing spikes as beats will display a heart rate the patient does not actually have. The HS-300H states all three. This sheet states none of them.

Medigear.uk establishes them, with the neonatal provision and the battery duration, before this ward patient monitor reaches a bed space.

Every Parameter Standard

No configuration to specify means no configuration to get wrong, which is a real advantage over a sibling sold in three different arrangements.

The Largest Screen of the Three

Twelve point one inches shows six parameters legibly from the foot of a bed, which a seven-inch panel in the same bed space cannot manage.

Central Monitoring Supported

Wired and wireless connections to a station let a ward be monitored from one place rather than bed by bed.

Capnography Available

An end-tidal module can be added, which matters where an anaesthesia machine beside it provides no capnography.

Invasive Pressure Available

Arterial pressure monitoring can be added, which extends the monitor to higher dependency work than the standard set alone allows.

Recorder Offered

An optional recorder produces a printed trace at the bedside, wherever a record must be filed away rather than merely read off a screen.

Neonatal Range Claimed

Adult through to neonate is stated, so one monitor type can in principle serve a mixed ward rather than two being stocked.

Battery Fitted as Standard

A rechargeable lithium battery means the monitor keeps running while a bed is moved, even though no duration is published.

Display of 12.1 Inches

Colour TFT, the largest Blackstone monitor screen.

Six Standard Parameters

ECG, blood pressure, saturation, rates, temperature and respiration.

One Configuration Only

No parameter arrangement to choose at order.

End-Tidal CO2 Optional

Offered as a further measurement.

Invasive Pressure Optional

Arterial monitoring, added separately.

Central Monitoring

By cable and wirelessly.

Rechargeable Lithium Battery

Fitted, with no duration published.

Adult to Neonate

The patient range Blackstone claims.

Optional Recorder

For a printed trace at the bedside.

Optional Stand Trolley

Sold separately from the monitor itself.

Judged on how it is sold, this ward patient monitor is the strongest of the three Blackstone units. It offers six standard parameters, no configuration to specify, the largest screen in the range, and central monitoring by cable or wirelessly. Against the HS70 in particular, removing the configuration choice removes a real ordering hazard. What it does not do is answer the question all three sheets leave hanging in different ways. Defibrillation protection, diathermy protection and pacemaker compatibility are stated on the HS-300H and on neither of the networked monitors, which means the only unit confirmed to survive a shock is the one least likely to be at a bedside when one is given. No battery duration appears either, and the stand trolley is an option rather than part of the supply. Eedigear.uk assembles all of those before quoting this ward patient monitor.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

All six parameters: ECG, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, pulse and respiration rate, and temperature. Unlike the HS70, there is no configuration to choose, so a purchase order for this model includes the full arrangement rather than one of three.

Nothing on the sheet says so, and it wants establishing before purchase. Defibrillation protection is stated plainly on the HS-300H and appears nowhere here. A ward monitor is attached to patients who may be shocked, so the question is not academic.

Neither is mentioned, whereas the HS-300H states both. Diathermy can obscure an ECG trace during a bedside procedure, and a monitor that counts pacing spikes as heartbeats reports a rate the patient does not have. Both are confirmed rather than assumed.

No figure is published, which is unusual because both other Blackstone monitors give one: over six hours and up to four hours, respectively. On a ward monitor unplugged to move a patient between bays, the running time is worth knowing before purchase.

That is unclear from the sheet. The two overlap, so either they describe separate measurements (such as a rate alongside a waveform), or one entry has been listed twice. We ask Blackstone rather than guessing which.

No, the stand trolley is an option. A ward monitor generally needs some form of mounting. Hence, the trolley should be included in the quotation from the outset rather than ordered separately once the monitor arrives without one.

Yes, by cable or wirelessly, as the HS70 can. That is the practical reason to choose either of those over the HS-300H, which offers no central monitoring at all. The wireless band, protocol and range are obtained before installation.

Protection against defibrillation, diathermy and pacing spikes comes first, then the battery figure and the duplicated respiration entry. After those: neonatal provision, the wireless arrangement, mass, how much trend data is held, accuracies for each measurement, the alarm set, governing standards and conformity marking.
