Each patient monitoring system is unique – The structure of ECG is different from that of blood glucose monitor. We divide the components of the patient monitoring system into three categories: patient monitoring equipment, fixed equipment and software.
Patient monitor
Although the term “patient monitoring device” is often used to refer to the entire patient monitoring system, for the purposes of this blog post, we will use it to describe the part of the patient monitoring system that is inserted or inserted.
Generally, patient monitoring equipment usually contains sensors for capturing important patient information (for example, heart rate) and interconnect solutions (for example, PCBs, connectors, wiring, etc.) that can transmit the information to fixed devices.
Taking a pulse oximeter as an example, the piece that is clamped on a finger and senses and transmits the pulse to a fixed device is an example of a patient monitoring device component.
Where to use them？
Vital signs monitors are used in clinical settings, such as doctors’ offices, small clinics, or pre-operative areas in surgical centers. They can also be used in a home environment. Compared with multi-parameter patient monitors, vital signs monitors are a cheap alternative to small clinics or doctor’s offices. The vital signs monitor provides fast and accurate readings, thereby increasing productivity in a high-volume, fast-paced environment. Due to its intuitive design, size, affordability and portability, it enables users of all ages and technical levels to play an active role in managing patients’ healthcare.
Technical specifications
Today’s vital signs monitors usually have bright and vivid displays to indicate measurement readings. Most are powered by AC/DC and come with backup batteries. Vital signs monitors such as the Biolight series have standard built-in printers. Some vital signs monitors have the ability to interface with the electronic medical record system, so that data can be transferred from the device to the medical record. These units can be used on desks, rolling shelves or wall mounts.
