Sentec: software
The SenTec Digital monitoring system is able to store patient data in its on-board memory (or on an external datalogger) for subsequent downloading and analysis.
A choice of software is available for you to choose. The SenTec DMS comes with a copy of SenTec's own software; V-STATS. Alternatively Artemis Medical can supply Stowood Scientific's "Download 2001".
V-STATS
V-STATS is a PC-based software for downloading measurement data (SpO2, PCO2, PR) of the SenTec Digital Monitor (SDM) from its internal memory or from the memory card of the SenTec Datalogger and for subsequent data viewing, analysing and reporting. The data analysis criteria are user adjustable; data analysis includes automatic detection and marking of events, artifacts, and invalid measurement periods. The results of the data analysis can be printed along with the graphs as a report.
In many cases the data will contain measurements from multiple patients. When downloading / importing data from the SDM, from the memory card or from a raw data file stored on the PC or an external drive V-STATS automatically separates the data into different measurement periods. By means of the start-time and end-time the measurement periods can be attributed to patients. The criteria to separate measurement periods are user-adjustable. By means of the start-time and end-time the detected measurement periods can be attributed to the desired patients.
DOWNLOAD 2001
SSI's 'DownLoad 2001' software transfers stored (trend) data from pulse oximeters to a Windows PC, then displays, saves, analyses and prints. The program is suitable for use with a wide range of SpO2 and tcpCO2 monitors.
Record the patient data with the monitor and then use DownLoad 2001 to transfer data from the monitor to the PC with the cable provided and save it on the computer hard disk. You can then see the data as it arrives at the PC and gets saved: and access it by patient name or identifier.
Display with Windows in SVGA screen resolutions (800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024, etc). See the whole recording on one screen
• The Ruler gives the overall view of the recording
• Zoom in to part of it, nudge, page or pan through the recording
• Cursors show instantaneous values, right hand mouse button enables rapid axis redrawing, exclusion etc.
• Set the time intervals and axes both graphically and digitally
• Create your own montages for quick display changes. These are your favourite combinations of vertical axes, times, colours, trace order, etc set up and named by yourself.
• Export the data to spreadsheets - Excel, Quattro Pro etc in ASCII or DIF format
• Mark periods for Analysis or for exclusion from analysis
• Combine the best parts of recordings into a single file
• Analyse the saturation, CO2 and pulse rate (and other parameters/events if recorded)
• Select the periods to analyse, or to exclude by marking
• Calculate desaturation dips and pulse rise peak counts
• Plot cumulative SpO2, CO2 (Tosca only) and pulse rate frequency graphs
• Plot 8hr/page graphs for saturation, pulse rate and both
• Show means, %'s of time below particular saturation levels, medians, modes, mean nadir, standard deviation etc.
• Print the traces and/or the analyses and plots in B&W or colour
