Patient Monitor

CMS 7000/ CMS 8000/ CMS 9000


All Medical Equipment are Devices But all Devices are Equipment.

Introduction:
 The monitor is applicable for the clinical monitoring of adult,
pediatric and neonate.
 Physiological parameters including ECG (including ST-segment
measurement and arrhythmia analysis), RESP, SpO2, PR, NIBP,
TEMP, IBP and CO2, can be monitored.
 The monitoring information could be displayed, reviewed and printed.
 A Medical Device that you control to record the electrical activity of your heart rate and rhythm (ECG
Electrocardiogram).

Working of Patient Monitor:


Here's a general overview of how a patient monitor works:

1. Sensor Placement: The patient is typically connected to the monitor through various sensors that are
placed on or attached to the patient's body.

Common sensors include:


 Electrodes: These are placed on the patient's chest, arms, or legs to
measure the electrical activity of the heart (ECG/EKG).
 Blood pressure cuff: This is wrapped around the patient's arm to
measure blood pressure.
 Pulse oximeter: This is typically clipped onto a finger or earlobe to
measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate.

 Temperature probe: This is placed on the patient's skin to measure


body temperature.
2. Signal Detection:
The sensors detect the physiological signals related to the parameters being monitored. For example,
electrodes pick up the electrical impulses from the heart, while a pulse oximeter uses light absorption
to determine oxygen levels in the blood.
3. Signal Processing:
The signals from the sensors are converted into electrical signals and then processed by the monitor's
internal circuitry. This processing includes amplification, filtering, and digitization of the signals to
ensure accurate and reliable measurements.
4. Parameter Calculation:
Once the signals are processed, the monitor calculates the values for each parameter being monitored.
For example, it analyzes the ECG waveform to determine heart rate and rhythm, measures blood
pressure based on the oscillations detected by the blood pressure cuff, and calculates oxygen
saturation based on the light absorption detected by the pulse oximeter.
5. Display and Alarm System:
The monitor presents the measured values of each parameter on its screen in real-time. Typically,
numerical values, waveforms, and trend graphs are displayed. The monitor may also include an alarm
system that alerts healthcare providers when certain conditions or thresholds are exceeded, such as
abnormal heart rates, low oxygen saturation levels, or high blood pressure. Alarms can be visual,
audible, or both, to draw attention to critical situations.
6. Data Storage and Communication:
Patient monitors often have the capability to store the monitored data over time. This data can be used
for later analysis, documentation, or reference. Additionally, modern monitors may have built-in
connectivity options, such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, to transmit the data to electronic health record (EHR)
systems or central monitoring stations. This enables remote monitoring, data sharing, and
collaboration among healthcare providers.
