Compass M10

The Compass M10 lightweight recorder is ideal for detecting Sleep Disordered Breathing, differentiating between central and obstructive apnea and using RMI to indicate patient breathing instability. The M10 is also a perfect fit for therapy control studies as flow is detected through the XactTrace RIP belts.

Based on respiratory movement acquired with Medcare's XactTrace Respiratory Inductive Plethysmograph sensors, it records thoracic and abdominal movement, position, activity, RMI and XFlow. Medcare's patent-pending RMI parameter gives an indication of a patient's breathing stability while XFlow is a semi-quantitative measure of inspiratory and expiratory flow derived from XactTrace.

This recorder uses a quick, USB download and provides the most ergonomic solution for clinicians and their patients.

 
Recorded Signals
The Compass M10 measures:
 
Abdominal Movement (from XactTrace RIP)
Thoracic Movement (from XactTrace RIP)
XFlow (from XactTrace RIP)
Activity
Position
Add the Oximeter Option to record oximeter signals
 
Extension Packages
There are several additional options available for the Compass M10 system.
 
Compass Oximeter Option:
Both devices offer the option of connecting an oximeter to complement the recording. This oximeter also connects to ResMed’s ResLink technology.
 
The Compass oximeter measures the following signals:
 
SpO2
SpO2 Quality
SpO2 Beat-to-Beat
Plethysmograph
RD Quality
 

Compass M10 Pediatric Option: The Pediatric Option includes Medcare's disposable XactTrace belts to fit small individuals and children.

 

Compass M10 Custom-Fit Belt Option: The Custom-Fit Belt Option includes Medcare's disposable XactTrace belts that can be custom-fit, plus velcro straps to better suit patients of various sizes.

 
Use the XactTrace and XFlow Advantage

Medcare acquisition systems use the XactTrace advantage. This respiratory effort sensor from Medcare is based on the proven Respiratory Inductive Plethysmograph (RIP) technology. This solution delivers unmatched effort trace accuracy, eliminates polarity shift, and is more hygienic and comfortable for the patient.

XFlow is an efficient and unintrusive way to get the flow information you need. When the output of the abdominal and thoracic signals measured by XactTrace are combined, the patient's inspiratory and expiratory flow can be measured. This semi-quantitative XFlow signal is comparable to linearized airflow signals acquired from nasal pressure transducers and a pneumotachograph signal.

 
Medcare Compass Software

The Medcare Compass Software is used to prepare the Compass recorders, download and analyze the study. It introduces a new type of user interface, designed for a simple and efficient workflow.
