Detect respiratory compromise early — there’s no time to waste.
Continuously monitor your patients — safely and simply.
Respiratory compromise is costly and deadly1
Especially in procedural sedation and patient recovery
areas like medical-surgical units.
Respiratory compromise is a
decline in respiratory function
that if left unaddressed will
likely lead to respiratory
failure or death.2
Failure to detect and
prevent respiratory
compromise is associated
with significant human
and economic toll.1
Focusing on detection
and subsequent prevention
is key to reducing the
impact of respiratory
compromise.1-3

Safety made simple
To keep patients safe in procedural sedation and medical-surgical units, you need every advantage you can get.
Meet the RespArray™ patient monitor:
- Designed for procedural sedation and medical-surgical units
- Designed to help clinicians detect respiratory compromise in its early stage with built-in Nellcor™ pulse oximetry and Microstream™ capnography technology
- Monitors ECG, NiBP, and continuous temperature monitoring
- Wirelessly connects to EMR and compatible remote monitoring platform
- Easily integrates into your workflow

The most common adverse events during procedural sedation are apnea, hypoxemia, and aspiration, which are all the result of respiratory compromise. Capnography monitoring, in addition to SpO2 monitoring, can provide clinicians with a more rapid indication of respiratory decline, and help you detect 23X more episodes of respiratory compromise, compared to using SpO2 alone.7
With the RespArray patient monitor, you can:
- Manage patient risks with continuous monitoring and safety
- Get data quickly to detect respiratory compromise early
- Experience world-class Nellcor™ pulse oximetry and Microstream™ capnography technologies designed to help clinicians detect respiratory compromise early — and help reduce alarm fatigue
- See trends with near real-time monitoring so you can get to your patients sooner
Go beyond spot-checking in the medical-surgical units
It's important to get a complete picture of your patient's respiratory status, so you have the coincidence your patient is safely sedated and receiving effective pain management, especially knowing that:
- Spot checking may be inaccurate
- Intermittent pulse oximetry spot checks missed 90% of hypoxemic episodes8
- Acute respiratory compromise on inpatient wards has an associated in-hospital mortality of approximately 40%4
Improve detection ability and workflow in medical-surgical units
Continuous monitoring could improve safety and reduce workload for clinicians.10
The RespArrayTM patient monitor:
- Features connectivity and seamlessly integrates into workflow, so you'll have have more time to focus on your patients.
- Includes an HL7 interface, is WiFi-enabled, and connects to your EMR and Vital Sync™ remote surveillance — giving you more visibility, wherever you are.
- Features a large, intuitive touch screen you can see from multiple angles and from a distance.
