A rugged, easy-to-use monitor for prep-room or theatre

Combining end-tidal CO2 measurement with pulse oximetry and temperature, the Vetronic Impact-III delivers performance and reliability in a robust, portable unit.

Three units in one, with optional configuration

Impact-III is an acronym, standing for “Instant Monitoring of Pulse-Oximetry And Capnography and Temperature”. As such, Impact-III delivers all that its name suggests: numerical and trace information is shown for all parameters, including capnography, within 15 seconds of turning the unit on.

The interface to Impact-III has been made simple and easy to use, so in most cases all that is required is to switch the unit on and start monitoring. In addition, any changes made to settings will automatically be saved in memory and retained between uses.

There are simple-to-use alarms featured for all three monitoring units. These all follow the same pattern for set up, making the system intuitive to use. All alarm conditions are clearly reported on the main screen, with an option to silence (60 seconds) or cancel. Impact-III also integrates fully with our VitalMonitor software suite, the optional wireless module allows full patient monitoring and data recording on a remote computer.

Impact FAQ's

Q: What sampling method is used by the Impact-III capnography module?
A: The Impact-III capnography module uses a sidestream method for CO2 analysis

Q: What is the sidestream sampling rate of the Impact-III capnography module?
A: Fixed at 50ml/minute for all species

Q:What animal range is supported by the Capnogrpahy module?
A: There is no upper weight limit. The lower weight limit is about 150g but this does rely on a low dead-space ET Connector and careful attention to additional dead space.

Q: Do I need to buy all 3 modules that Impact-III supports?
A: No. It is possible to buy Impact-III in the following combinations: Pulse-Ox+CO2+Temperature, Pulse-Ox + Temperature, CO2 only, CO2 + Temperature

Q: Is the Impact-III battery powered?
A: Yes. There are internal NimH batteries so the unit can be run either from the batteries or from an attached mains charger

Q: How long will the unit operate when running from batteries?
A: With all modules fitted, the unit will run for up to 6 hours. This will increase by an hour or two if either the CO2 or Pulse-Ox modules are not fitted.

Q: Does the Impact-III have a touch screen?
A: No. All features and menu options are accessed using a simple 2-button keypad.

Q: Can the Impact-III be connected to a PC?
A: Yes, using an optional wireless link. A direct USB connection is not available as the unit has been designed for mainly portable use
