E Series Now Helps You Keep the
"Silent Killer" at Bay
Carbon monoxide poisoning can often go undetected and untreated, leading to short-term risk and long-term health problems. CO poisoning can present with flu-like symptoms, but it is also possible for an individual to be affected without having any symptoms at all1. Now, breakthrough CO monitoring helps rescuers to noninvasively and accurately detect, monitor and treat individuals poisoned by this "silent killer."
Even mild CO poisoning causes mental confusion, which can put both the exposed rescuer and others on the fire scene at risk2. Consistent exposure to CO may cause long term heart and brain damage3. Just one severe incident of CO poisoning almost doubles the risk of premature death4.
E Series: Easy Detection for Prompt On-scene Treatment. Now with integrated SpCO™, a noninvasive Masimo Rainbow SET® carbon monoxide measurement, the E Series® helps rescuers to easily and accurately detect CO poisoning with the simple push of a button. Recognition is the key to immediate on-scene treatment: with early detection, treatment for CO poisoning can begin immediately, which significantly reduces immediate and long-term health risks for both firefighters and the civilians whom they serve.
