GE neonatal monitoring sensors: Care Plus incubator reusable sensor 2045964-001, disposable temperature sensor 2074816-001 and reusable patient sensor 2075796-001

A guide to GE neonatal monitoring sensors for the NICU and maternity departments: Care Plus incubator reusable sensor 2045964-001, disposable temperature sensor 2074816-001, RoHS reusable patient sensor 2075796-001.

Neonatal monitoring in the intensive care unit (NICU) and the delivery room is a task of heightened responsibility. Temperature, breathing and cardiac activity are monitored continuously, and any deviation requires an immediate response. The reliability of the readings depends on the quality of the sensors: an incorrect temperature can hide hypothermia or fever, while unstable sensor contact creates false alarms that tire the staff.

GE Healthcare produces a dedicated line of monitoring sensors for neonatal incubators and convertible beds. In this guide we cover three items: the Care Plus incubator reusable monitor sensor 2045964-001, the disposable temperature sensor 2074816-001 and the reusable patient sensor 2075796-001 (RoHS).

1. Why high-quality neonatal monitoring sensors matter

Neonatal monitoring places particular demands on sensors:

  • •minimum weight and size — they do not create pressure on the newborn's skin;
  • •stable contact — eliminates false alarms during movement;
  • •infection safety — the sensor is either disposable or can be correctly processed;
  • •compatibility with the specific GE incubator or bed.

A correctly selected sensor shortens reconnection time, reduces the risk of skin damage and increases staff confidence in the bedside monitor readings.

2. Care Plus reusable monitor sensor 2045964-001

PN: 2045964-001

Category: reusable monitor probe for the Care Plus (CP) neonatal incubator.

  • •Purpose — connecting the patient to the bedside monitor inside the incubator without disturbing the microclimate.
  • •Manufacturer equipment category: Other Maternal Infant Care (other maternal and infant care equipment).
  • •Reusable design — savings under a stable department workload, correct processing between patients is required.

Compatibility: CP series Care Plus incubators. Before ordering, send a photo of the connector and the incubator model — the engineer will confirm compatibility.

3. Disposable temperature sensor 2074816-001

PN: 2074816-001

Category: disposable temperature probe for the Giraffe OmniBed convertible bed.

  • •Catalogue name: DISPOSABLE PATIENT PROBE ROHS QUANTITY 10 — a pack of 10.
  • •RoHS design — complies with European restrictions on hazardous substances.
  • •Single use completely rules out cross-contamination even at a high department workload.

Compatibility: GE Giraffe OmniBed incubator-convertible bed. Newborn temperature control is one of the key parameters in the first day of life.

4. Reusable patient sensor 2075796-001 (RoHS)

PN: 2075796-001

Category: reusable patient probe, RoHS design, for the Giraffe OmniBed convertible bed.

  • •Advantageous for departments with scheduled patient rotation and established item processing.
  • •RoHS certification — compliance with restrictions on the content of lead, mercury and other substances.
  • •The catalogue has no full technical description of the item: confirm the connector type and cable length with the engineer before ordering.

Compatibility: Giraffe OmniBed. Do not confuse it with the disposable temperature sensor 2074816-001 — these are different designs for the same platform.

Selection rule: under a high workload and SanPiN requirements, choose the disposable sensor; with scheduled operation and established disinfection — the reusable one with a 1:1 reserve.

7. Infection safety and maintenance

Replace disposable sensors after every patient or in case of visible contamination — reuse is not acceptable. Process reusable sensors according to the manufacturer's instructions: clean the housing and check the integrity of the cable and connector before each use. A damaged cable creates false alarms and the risk of incorrect temperature readings.

Frequently asked questions

Which equipment is the reusable monitor sensor 2045964-001 suitable for?
2045964-001 is a reusable monitor sensor for the Care Plus (CP) neonatal incubator, category Other Maternal Infant Care. Before ordering, state the incubator model and the connector type — the engineer will confirm compatibility.
Why can the disposable temperature sensor 2074816-001 not be reused?
A disposable sensor rules out cross-contamination between newborns — the key infection-safety requirement in the NICU. It is supplied in packs of 10 ("DISPOSABLE PATIENT PROBE ROHS QUANTITY 10"), and each item is used once.
How does the reusable patient sensor 2075796-001 differ from the disposable 2074816-001?
2075796-001 is a reusable patient sensor (RoHS) for the Giraffe OmniBed, while 2074816-001 is a disposable temperature sensor. The catalogue has no description for 2075796-001 — confirm the connector and cable length with the engineer before ordering.
How often should neonatal monitoring sensors be replaced or serviced?
Replace disposable sensors (2074816-001) after every patient or when contaminated. Reusable ones (2045964-001, 2075796-001) undergo scheduled processing according to the instructions, and a check of cable and connector integrity; if damaged — replacement.
How should the volume of sensor purchases for the NICU be calculated?
Base it on the number of incubators and bed turnover: reusable sensors — a 1:1 reserve to the number of incubators, disposable ones — packs of 10 to cover monthly consumption. Medicaparts will supply the batch — lead time is confirmed when the order is confirmed; Telegram @GEpartsV_bot.
