VetSpecs^® WM100

Designed for WIRELESS patient monitoring in surgery, dentistry, and postoperative / intensive care, the WM100 offers:

● Noninvasive Blood Pressure (with real-time pulse rate and waveforms)
● ECG (featuring esophageal probes)
● Pulse Oximetry
● Airway-direct Respiration
● Core & Rectal Temperatures
● Capnography (optional)
● Diagnostic Six-lead ECG (optional)

The WM100 features a Bluetooth 10.4” display platform; a Bluetooth multiparameter module with ECG, pulse oximetry, airway-direct respiration, and temperature; a Bluetooth blood pressure (BP) module; an optional side-stream capnography module; and a full set of companion animal specific accessories.

In addition, the WM100 offers two portable capnography options: the VetSpecs^® Capno-5 side-stream capnograph and the VetSpecs^® Capno-M mainstream capnograph, both of which can be linked to the WM100 via Bluetooth for integrated performance, as well as used as a stand-alone unit.

For monitoring in surgery, dentistry, and postoperative / intensive care, place the modules on or next to the patient, and position the display platform anywhere up to 15 meters (50 feet) away from the patient, with no cables, wires, or BP hose in between.

The WM100 features multiple work modes. In all-parameter monitoring mode (with optional capnography), the WM100 displays:

● ECG
● Pulse Waveforms
● Blood Pressure Waveforms
● CO2 Waveforms
● Heart Rate and Pulse Rate
● Respiratory Rate
● Temperature
● Systolic, Diastolic, and Mean Arterial Pressures
● SpO2
● End-tidal CO2 (EtCO2)
● Fractional Inspired CO2 (FiCO2)

The WM100 automatically saves all registered waveforms, readings, and trend graphics on a USB flash drive. Take the flash drive to your computer and transfer the saved data, which is compatible with ALL practice management software systems. You can then review the data and print out a monitoring report, as shown below, through any office printer.

For monitoring in surgery or dentistry, the WM100 registers ECG and core temperature through an esophageal probe, with no leads or sensors on the patient’s body or legs. The WM100 offers esophageal probes of different sizes, suitable for use in cats, dogs, and all other similar-sized animals.

For monitoring in postoperative / intensive care, the WM100 registers ECG and rectal temperature through the ECG leads with a detachable temperature probe.

The WM100 comes with a SpO2 lingual sensor and a SpO2 leg/paw sensor. While the lingual sensor is for use in most surgical procedures, the leg/paw sensor is designed specifically for oral surgery, dentistry, and postoperative / intensive care. Employing a high-power LED light source, the leg/paw sensor can work effectively on patients’ legs and paws, even at sites covered with pigmented tissue and dense fur. The leg/paw sensor can also be used for quick spot checks of pulse rate and SpO2 in awake and conscious patients.

The WM100 features advanced airway-direct respiratory monitoring, which is effective for intubated patients in surgery and dentistry even when induced motions are constantly present. Simply insert the airway respiration sensor between the endotracheal tube and the breathing circuit after the patient is intubated. The airway respiration sensor does not apply when optional capnography is in use.

The WM100 features the volume plethysmography method - a breakthrough technique developed specifically for NONINVASIVE blood pressure measurements in cats, dogs, and other similarly sized veterinary patients. Sharing the same principle as the Doppler method, the volume plethysmography method employs a cuff to occlude arterial flow and a sensor band to register arterial pulsations. But unlike the manually operated Doppler method, which provides only the systolic arterial pressure, the volume plethysmography method is fully automated, and provides a real-time pulse rate with pulse waveforms, as well as the systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressures.

For blood pressure monitoring, wrap the cuff and the sensor band on the patient’s leg, and attach the BP module onto the patient’s body or leg with self-adhering elastic gauze. When monitoring in postoperative / intensive care, the patient can be inside the cage, and the display platform can be positioned anywhere up to 15 meters (50 feet) away, with no wires or BP hose in between.

In blood pressure monitoring mode, the WM100 displays on one screen:

● Pulse Waveforms
● Real-time Pulse Rate
● Systolic Arterial Pressure
● Diastolic Arterial Pressure
● Mean Arterial Pressure
● Readings of 32 the most recent measurements and their averages

The WM100 offers an ECG screening mode with the multiparameter module. In the ECG screening mode, the WM100 records ECG continuously for up to 24 hours from a patient up to 15 meters (50 feet) away. All ECG data are saved on a USB flash drive, which can be reviewed on your computer, printed through any office printer, and stored in your patient database under your existing practice management software system.

The WM100 also provides the capability for diagnostic ECG test through the compatible Bluetooth six-lead ECG module. For information on six-lead ECG, refer to the VetSpecs^® WM10-ECG page.
