Cardinal Health Kittycat Pre-Wired Neonatal Ecg Electrodes

The pre-wired design of the Kittycat Neonatal ECG Electrodes is a key feature designed to streamline setup and increase efficiency in neonatal care settings. This configuration provides several significant benefits:

• Immediate Application: With integrated lead wires (available in lengths like 18” and 24”), the electrodes are ready for immediate use, accelerating patient hookup during critical moments.
• Reduced Complexity: Clinicians save time by eliminating the need to locate, match, and manually connect separate lead wires to the electrode pads.
• Enhanced Reliability: By removing an external connection point, the risk of connection errors and potential signal artifacts is minimized, supporting more consistent and accurate ECG monitoring.

The Cardinal Health Kittycat Pre-Wired Neonatal ECG Electrodes are specifically designed for sensitive neonatal skin and are available in two high-quality substrate materials to suit different patient needs:

• Cloth Substrate: This option provides superior flexibility and breathability, making it ideal for sensitive or prolonged monitoring. Select cloth variants also feature Radiolucent Lead Wires, which are beneficial for imaging procedures.
• Foam Substrate: This option ensures secure and reliable adhesion, providing a stable interface for continuous and effective ECG monitoring.

All models are pre-wired, which helps streamline the setup process and saves time during application.

Yes, these Cardinal Health Kittycat electrodes are specifically designed for neonatal ECG monitoring. They are specialized medical consumables intended for use on infants.

Their primary application is in settings such as:

• Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU)
• Other pediatric monitoring environments

The distinctive ‘Kittycat’ design also helps create a less clinical and more patient-friendly aesthetic for the infants.

The Cardinal Health Kittycat Pre-Wired Neonatal ECG Electrodes are available with lead wire lengths of 18 inches and 24 inches.

The Cardinal Health Kittycat Pre-Wired Neonatal ECG Electrodes are packaged in strips, with the final case configuration dependent on the specific material (cloth or foam) selected.

• Electrodes per Strip: All configurations are typically packaged 3 electrodes per strip.
• Packaging Configurations:
  • Some configurations (e.g., Cloth substrate) are packaged as 100 strips per case (300 electrodes total).
  • Other configurations (e.g., Foam substrate) utilize an intermediate carton layer, packaged as 25 strips per carton with 4 cartons per case (also totaling 100 strips or 300 electrodes).

Yes, these electrodes are factory new, ensuring optimal performance and reliability for neonatal ECG monitoring.

These Cardinal Health Kittycat electrodes are specialized medical consumables designed exclusively for Neonatal ECG monitoring (newborns and infants). They are engineered for gentle, continuous monitoring in critical care environments, primarily:

• Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU)
• Other specialized pediatric monitoring units

The Kittycat Pre-Wired Neonatal ECG Electrodes are designed with versatility in mind, offering different substrates and specialized leadwire options to meet various clinical needs:

Substrate Material Options

The electrodes are available in two primary materials, tailored for use with newborns:

• Cloth: Provides a soft, breathable interface, which is often preferred for sensitive neonatal skin.
• Foam: Offers a durable and highly conformable backing for secure, reliable placement.

Leadwire Configuration

All configurations are Pre-Wired, which simplifies the application process by eliminating the need for separate lead wire connection at the electrode site.

Specific cloth variants are also available with Radiolucent Lead Wires. This feature is essential when monitoring neonates who require simultaneous imaging procedures (like X-rays or fluoroscopy), as the radiolucent wires will not interfere with the resulting images.

Yes, the Cardinal Health Kittycat Pre-Wired ECG Electrodes are specifically designed and sized for continuous ECG monitoring in neonatal patients.

Their construction prioritizes the unique needs of sensitive infant skin and clinical speed, offering several benefits:

• Neonatal Sizing: Perfectly sized for infants and intended for use in specialized environments like the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
• Material Choice: Available in both cloth and foam substrates to accommodate different skin sensitivities and adhesion requirements.
• Pre-Wired Design: Features a pre-wired configuration that simplifies setup and minimizes application time in critical care settings.
• Distinctive Aesthetic: The playful ‘Kittycat’ pattern offers a potentially less clinical appearance for sensitive patients.

Yes, the pre-wired configuration is a major selling point designed specifically to simplify setup and application for sensitive neonatal care. The integration of the lead wire directly into the electrode streamlines the monitoring process.

Key benefits of the pre-wired design include:

• Faster Setup: Clinicians do not need to attach separate lead wires, allowing for a quicker and more efficient patient hookup in critical care environments.
• Stable Connection: Integrated wiring minimizes the risk of connection errors or accidental dislodgement, ensuring a stable and secure ECG signal for reliable, continuous monitoring.
• Immediate Use: The electrodes are ready for immediate use upon removal from the packaging.
• Flexibility: Depending on the variant, leadwire lengths are available in common sizes, such as 18” and 24”, to accommodate various monitoring scenarios.

Additionally, specific pre-wired configurations are available with Radiolucent Lead Wires, which is crucial for enhanced imaging compatibility during procedures like X-rays.
