GE Dash 2000

Features of the GE Dash 2000 Patient Monitor:

The GE Dash 2000 serves as a versatile standalone or transport patient monitor suitable for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. It monitors parameters such as ECG, NIBP, impedance respiration, SpO2, and temperature. Optional features include a built-in recorder and the ability to monitor invasive blood pressure. Available in both monochrome and color displays, this monitor can connect to the GE Marquette Unity Network via an ethernet cable. In case of AC power interruption, it is equipped with an internal battery pack lasting between 2 and 3 hours. The GE Dash line includes the GE Dash 2500.
