Nihon Kohden Introduces New Bedside Monitor

Nihon Kohden, a developer of precision medical products and services, has launched its BSM-3500, the latest advancement in its line of bedside monitors. Designed to meet the precise needs of ambulatory surgery and specialty centers, the BSM-3500 comes fully optimized with all features—both premium and standard—ready to use at a moment’s notice, bringing among the highest standards of care to low acuity settings.
 
“Hospitals and health systems know that not every patient requires intensive care or use of a high-acuity bed, but they also know patients in low-acuity areas still need to be monitored, no matter how minor a procedure may seem,” said Dr. Wilson P. Constantine, CEO of Nihon Kohden America. “By using Nihon Kohden’s line of monitors that are developed with our premium-as-standard philosophy, healthcare providers know their patients will be taken care of, no matter where they are in a health system.”
 
In addition to a range of standard monitoring features, the BSM-3500 offers a number of critical capabilities to ensure uncompromising care in low acuity settings. These include the ability to spot real-time mini trends for early detection of vital sign variability during outpatient procedures. In addition, the new monitor works with Nihon Kohden’s proprietary cap-ONE Mainstream CO₂ Sensor Kit, which is the world’s first wearable mainstream CO₂ sensor for non-intubated patients. As with all Nihon Kohden monitoring systems, the BSM-3500 is also designed to seamlessly integrate with electronic medical records systems.
 
Founded in Japan in 1951, Nihon Kohden manufactures, develops and distributes medical electronic equipment, with subsidiaries in the United States, Europe and Asia. The company’s products are now used in more than 120 countries, and it is the largest supplier of electroencephalography products worldwide.
