| NIBP | Adult/Pediatric modes (0–280 mmHg systolic). |
| Display | 5–8-inch TFT LCD. |
| Power Supply | 100–240V AC (global voltage) + battery. |
| Dimensions | ~25 x 20 x 10 cm (varies by model). |
Applications
- Primary Care Clinics: Routine check-ups for heart rate, SpO₂, and BP.
- Ambulances/Emergency Transport: Portable vital sign tracking.
- Home Healthcare: Monitoring chronic conditions (e.g., hypertension, COPD).
- Post-Operative Recovery: Basic surveillance in general wards.
Safety & Alarms
- Adjustable Limits: Set thresholds for HR (e.g., <50 or >120 BPM), SpO₂ (<90%), and BP.
- Audible/Visual Alerts: Triggers for arrhythmia, desaturation, or hypertensive crisis.
- Lead Off Detection: Alerts for disconnected ECG electrodes or SpO₂ sensor.
Setup and Operation
- Connect Sensors:
- Attach 3/5-lead ECG electrodes.
- Place SpO₂ probe on a finger.
- Apply NIBP cuff to the arm.
- Power On: Auto-calibrates NIBP and SpO₂ sensors.
- Adjust Settings: Customize alarm limits and display layout.
- Monitor: View real-time data and trends.
Maintenance
- Daily: Wipe screen and sensors with a soft, damp cloth.
- Weekly: Inspect ECG cables and NIBP cuff for wear.
- Monthly: Replace batteries if unused for long periods.
Key Takeaways
The Contec 3-Parameter Patient Monitor is ideal for:
- Low-resource clinics needing basic vital sign tracking.
- Emergency transport where portability is critical.
- Home caregivers managing chronic conditions.
It provides reliable, cost-effective monitoring for non-critical care.
