Patient monitors · Parameters measured (ECG, SpO2, NIBP, temperature), alarms, patient groups, display, battery, data storage and network connection, regulatory class
A patient monitor measures physiological signals — heart rate and ECG, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, temperature — displays them and alarms when they leave set limits. Settle three things before asking for quotes: which parameters and alarms you need for which patients and care setting, the regulatory class and clearance in your market, and the display, battery, storage and network connection the ward workflow needs.
Bedside, transport and vital-signs patient monitors, telemetry transmitters and pulse oximeters that measure, display and alarm on physiological parameters. Medical-grade display monitors for imaging and surgical video, wearable consumer fitness devices, and individual sensors, cables and lead sets are outside this page; medical-grade display monitors have their own page.
01
US federal rules describe the device types a patient monitor combines. A cardiac monitor measures heart rate from an electrocardiograph, vectorcardiograph or blood-pressure signal and may sound an alarm when the rate falls outside preset limits; an arrhythmia detector and alarm, including ST-segment measurement, monitors the ECG and alarms on arrhythmia or ST change; an oximeter passes light of known wavelengths through blood to measure oxygen saturation; and a non-invasive blood-pressure system derives systolic, diastolic or mean pressure from transducers on the body surface. All four are Class II devices. [1] [2] [3] [4]
A clinical electronic thermometer — a transducer with electronic amplification, conditioning and display, with or without a detachable probe — is also Class II, and a radiofrequency physiological signal transmitter and receiver, which carries a signal to a location such as a central monitoring station, is Class II as well. [6] [5]
Mindray describes its ePM series for emergency rooms, recovery units, sub-acute units and general wards, with plug-and-play parameter modules in the modular version, multi-parameter alarm analysis intended to reduce false arrhythmia alarms, and a choice of Mindray, Masimo or Nellcor SpO2 measurement. [7]
Give the supplier the parameters to measure (ECG leads, heart rate, SpO2, NIBP, invasive pressure, temperature, respiration, CO2), patient groups (adult, paediatric, neonatal), alarm limits and alarm handling, care setting (bedside, transport, ward spot-check), the regulatory clearance needed in your market, display size, battery run time, data storage, network and EMR connection, mounting and quantity.

Mindray's VS-600 vital-signs monitor is listed at under 1.7 kg with a Li-ion battery giving more than 22 hours of continuous monitoring, temperature measurement and a perfusion index shown with SpO2. Its PM-60 pulse oximeter has a 2.4-inch colour LCD, spot-check and continuous modes for adult, paediatric and neonatal patients, 96 hours of trend memory for one patient in continuous mode or 4,000 data sets for up to 99 patient IDs in spot-check mode, data export to a PC by cable, and lithium-ion or AA alkaline batteries. [8] [9]
Mindray states that ePM monitors connect to its central monitoring system and gateway over wired and wireless networks and send data to third-party electronic medical records through HL7 output. [7]
Editorial calculation: a ward running 24-hour shifts with a VS-600 listed at more than 22 hours of battery monitoring still needs a charging point or spare battery within each day; ask for the run time measured with your parameter set and display brightness. [8]

Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics lists BeneVision N series patient monitors and TM80 telemetry on its patient-monitoring page.
Ask each supplier for the device classification and clearance number for your market, the operator's manual specification tables (measurement range and accuracy for each parameter), alarm system description, battery run-time test conditions and the network and HL7 interface description. [1] [7]
