Any veterinary practice that anaesthetises or ventilates animals can use the RM-C2. RWD builds it to monitor EtCO2 and respiratory rate, so the team can assess anaesthetic status and respond accordingly.
During anaesthesia, the monitor measures the carbon dioxide in the animal's exhaled breath through the airway adapter. The EtCO2 value and the waveform appear within 5 seconds and are shown together, so the person watching the case has the number and the trace in front of them at once.
Animals vary widely in size, and the RM-C2 comes with large and small airway adapters to meet different needs. The team selects the adapter that suits the animal, from the smallest patients to the largest.
The alarm system supports a busy theatre. Sound and light alarms sound for no adapter, a clogged adapter, no breath, a low battery and EtCO2 outside adjustable high and low limits. The heated gas passage prevents condensation, keeping readings dependable throughout a long case. The team can adjust the high and low EtCO2 alarm limits to suit each animal. In the preparation area or in recovery, the same readings and alarms apply because the unit carries them.
Because a free phone app shows the monitoring status remotely, a colleague can check an animal in recovery or in preparation without leaving another task. A 100 mAh battery with six hours of standby and a Type-C port suits a unit that moves between rooms. Anaesthetists, surgeons, and veterinary nurses use it.
