NEONATAL & PEDIATRIC INTENSIVE CARE

Continuously balance brain and lung protection by setting your sights on accurate CO₂

Sentec transcutaneous technology overcomes limits of previous devices to offer accurate, continuous, noninvasive CO₂ values regardless of ventilation method or V/Q mismatch, all while supporting neuroprotective efforts to deliver clustered care, protect skin integrity, and reduce the frequency of blood draws.

TCM in the NICU

Accurate

CO₂ trends are helpful, but a trend that accurately reflects traditional blood gases is impactful.
Safe

Low temperatures, reliable data, and design features that protect neonatal skin.
Easy

Our technology is easy to learn, and we’re with you every step of the way.
Trusted

We’re true believers in noninvasive technology because we believe in noninvasive care.

ACUTE RESPIRATORY CARE

Continuous ventilation monitoring regardless of modality or lung compromise

Transcutaneous monitoring provides continuous, accurate CO₂, SpO₂, and pulse rate data regardless of ventilation method and without the pain or gaps in information associated with traditional blood gases.

TCM in Acute Respiratory Care

Accurate

Accurate on any type of ventilatory support – even in exacerbated COPD patients.
Safe

Safeguard the patient and guide NIV treatment in real time by assessing ventilation continuously.
Easy

Simple workflows and site times up to 12 hours enhance clinical utility.
Trusted

Recommended over end-tidal CO₂ for noninvasively ventilated patients.

DIAGNOSTIC SLEEP MEDICINE

Accurately measure your patients’ CO₂through the night without disturbing their sleep.

Sentec transcutaneous technology offers continuous, noninvasive CO₂ and SpO₂ values with excellent accuracy across patient populations and conditions regardless of ventilation strategy – with site times and settings that support sound sleep. TCM can be used as a standalone monitor to capture abnormal CO₂ values that don’t appear during the day, or as an adjunct parameter integrated into a traditional polysomnography system.

TCM in the Sleep Lab

Accurate

Continuous, noninvasive CO₂ values tightly correlated to PaCO₂ regardless of ventilation strategy or quality of the airway.
Safe

Continuous monitoring allows for early detection of hypoventilation, while gentle attachment options support safe sleep.
Easy

Long site time and durable patient attachment means longer monitoring without interruption for adjustment.
Trusted

Leading sleep labs trust Sentec as the specialist in transcutaneous monitoring.

HOME VENTILATION MANAGEMENT

Continuous, noninvasive values that support optimized ventilation in a home care setting, asleep or awake.

Sentec’s easy-to-learn digital technology can help respiratory-compromised patients breathe easier in the comfort of their own home by providing continuous, noninvasive CO₂, pulse rate, and SpO₂ data – data that can empower patients to find the ventilation settings that work for them.

Monitoring CO₂ in the Home

Accurate

Tightly correlated to PaCO₂ regardless of lung compromise, ventilation modality, respiration rate, or patient age.
Safe

Low sensor temperature and gentle but effective adhesion options protect skin while accurate patient information helps titrate ventilation.
Easy

Simple workflows, site times up to 12 hours, and enhanced product support make monitoring easy.
Trusted

We’re the specialists in noninvasive ventilation monitoring – regardless of clinical setting.

ANESTHESIA AND POST-OPERATIVE CARE

Continuous, accurate, noninvasive CO₂ monitoring for surgical, sedated, and recovering patients.

Sentec technology provides accurate, continuous CO₂, SpO₂, and pulse rate information regardless of ventilation method using a variety of anatomical monitoring sites to support a clear field and preferred ventilation modality during surgery, as well as accurate assessment of hypoventilation in sedated, pain-managed, and/or post-operative patients.

TCM in Perioperative Care

Accurate

Excellent correlation to PaCO₂ regardless of ventilation modality, respiratory rate, sedation, or lung compromise.
Safe

TCM may help enhance patient safety through reducing hypercapnia, especially during Bronchoscopy or MAC.
Easy

Choose from a variety of anatomical monitoring sites to support individualized care and a clear surgical field.
Trusted

Uncover hypercapnia even in the presence of normal respiratory rates and SpO₂ values, common during augmented surgical states.
