Criticare Poet IQ 8500

The Criticare Poet IQ 8500 automatically identifies and quantifies inspired and expired CO2, N2O, O2, and five anesthetic agents. The system’s reliable performance, ease of use, flexible design, and affordable cost make it the ideal monitoring solution for anesthesia applications in hospitals and surgical centers. The Criticare Poet IQ 8500 provides a powerful combination of proprietary CSI vital signs and 5-agent gas analysis technology. Versatile, reliable, and incredibly compact. Designed to operate simply, in less time, and with greater accuracy!
