caused by changes in electrolyte concentrations and acid-base balance, increased metabolic activity, neurologic
changes, hypoxemia, hypothermia, ischemia, and drug reactions.
Blood pressure measurement, either invasive or noninvasive, is an essential indicator of physiologic condition.
As one of the most frequently used diagnostic tests, it indicates changes in blood volume, the pumping efficiency
of the heart, and the resistance of the peripheral vasculature.
Monitoring body temperature is important
in cases of hypothermia or hyperthermia,
during general anesthesia, and especially during
surgical procedures requiring induced
hypothermia. Body temperature is also
important in monitoring neonates because the
body temperature reading of a neonate reflects
the general metabolic condition and the
presence of infection. The body temperature of
all neonates cared for in an incubator or radiant
warmer should also be monitored.
Although respiratory rate is monitored on
many patients, neonatal respiratory rate
monitoring is used primarily to detect apnea
(cessation of breathing), a condition to which
premature and low-birth-weight infants are
particularly susceptible.
Monitors also offer pulse oximetry, which
provides a rapid indication of a patient’s changing level of oxygenation, an indicator of effective ventilation. Pulse
oximetry allows continuous and instantaneous monitoring of SpO 2 and may reduce the need for arterial puncture
and laboratory blood-gas analysis. Pulse oximetry provides a quick check of the ventilatory status of neonates. It
is especially helpful for monitoring neonates on oxygen (O2) therapy and is essential in caring for ventilator-
dependent patients.
Monitors for transcutaneous oxygen concentration (tcpO2) and transcutaneous carbon dioxide concentration
(tcpCO2), used primarily with neonates, also provide a noninvasive method for assessing the partial pressure of
O2 and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the body and can supplement or, in some cases, be used as an alternative to
periodic arterial puncture and blood-gas analysis. SpO2 values are critical in neonatal monitoring for avoiding
hypoxemia and hyperoxemia; blood CO2 values assess the body’s ability to eliminate CO2 and avoid hypocapnia
or hypercapnia.

Principles of operation
Physiologic monitors can be configured, modular, or both. Configured monitors have all their capabilities
already built-in. Modular systems feature individual modules for each monitoring parameter or group of
parameters; these modules can be used in any combination with each bedside monitor or be interchanged from
monitor to monitor. Some physiologic monitoring systems have the capabilities of both modular and configured
systems. With these monitors, frequently used parameters (e.g., ECG) are configured to the monitor, but modules
can be added to expand monitoring capabilities. The
addition of new monitoring capabilities, such as blood
chemistry, allows both modular and configured-
modular systems to accommodate advancing
technologies.
Many physiologic monitoring systems include a
central station capable of displaying ECG waveforms
and other information from any bedside within the
system, and many are equipped with alarms that are
coordinated with those at the bedside monitor. Central
monitoring stations can receive signals from bedside
monitors via cables (hardwired) or radio waves/radio-
frequency communication (wireless). Hardwired
networks have more reliable signal transmission and
can provide flexibility if network connection points are
installed at each bedside so that bedside monitors can Figure 1. A typical ECG signal consists of a number of pulses; the

effective. In these cases, a wireless system may be a
good alternative; wireless networks also allow the bedside monitor to be moved anywhere within transmission
range, offering increased flexibility.
Telemetric monitoring systems, which are wireless, allow the patient to be moved within the transmission
range without being disconnected from central station monitoring and eliminate cables linking the patient to the
monitor. For more information, see the Product Comparison titled Physiologic Monitoring Systems, Telemetric;
ECG Monitors, Telemetric; Monitors, Central Station.
Two types of transport can be considered—intrahospital and interhospital. Intrahospital transport monitoring
is required to maintain monitoring when a patient is transported within the hospital, such as for testing or
transfer to another area of the hospital (e.g., from the emergency department [ED] to the OR). Interhospital
transport involves transporting a patient from one healthcare facility to another.
Some of the available monitoring parameters are ECG, arrhythmia, IBP, NIBP, cardiac output, ETCO 2, SpO2,
SvO2, electroencephalogram (EEG), fraction of inspired oxygen, temperature, bispectral index (BIS), and
respiratory rate. Some models designed for neonates also measure tcpO2 and tcpCO2. Models designed for use in
the OR also have anesthetic-agent monitoring capabilities (see the Product Comparison titled Multiple Medical
Gas Monitors, Respired/Anesthetic).
The ECG monitor detects small voltages of about 1 mV that appear on the skin as a result of cardiac activity.
Several electrodes, arranged in standard configurations called leads, are placed on the skin to sense these
voltages. At least two electrodes are required for an ECG lead; a third electrode is used as a reference to reduce
electrical interference. Each lead presents a different perspective of the electrical activity of the heart, producing
ECG waveforms in which P waves, QRS complex, and T waves vary in amplitude and polarity (see Figure 1). The
signals from the different leads provide the clinician with a complete representation of the electrical activity of the

heart, including the HR, which is interpreted as the R-to-R interval. The timing and waveshape of the ECG
provide information on whether the patient’s HR is characterized by arrhythmias or other altered functions
requiring treatment (e.g., medication, emergency resuscitation). The ECG is also used to monitor the effects of
infusing antiarrhythmia or cardiotonic agents.
Blood pressure, the force exerted by the blood
against the blood vessel walls, is more reliable than
an ECG signal in assessing effective pumping of
blood by the heart. Blood pressure monitors
commonly measure arterial pressure, which is
produced by the contractions of the heart and
constantly changes over the course of the cardiac
cycle. Three blood pressure values, expressed in
millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) above
atmospheric pressure, are typically obtained. The
systolic pressure is the maximum cycle pressure,
which occurs during left ventricular contraction.
The diastolic pressure is the minimum cycle
pressure, occurring during the left ventricle’s filling
stage between contractions. The mean arterial
pressure is the mean value of the blood pressure over the cardiac cycle (see Figure 2).
IBP is measured by a catheter inserted directly into the circulatory system. In neonates, the catheter is typically
inserted directly into the umbilical vein. A pressure transducer connected to the catheter converts the mechanical
force exerted by the blood into an electrical signal, which is displayed graphically as pressure versus time on a
monitor screen or numerically on a meter or digital display.
The most common automated method of measuring NIBP is the oscillometric method, in which an inflatable
cuff is wrapped around the patient’s limb. The arterial pulses create pressure fluctuations in a bladder within the
cuff; these fluctuations are detected by a
transducer (which is part of the monitor)
connected to the cuff’s hose. Another method is
the auscultatory method, which, along with
sensing pressure in the cuff, uses a microphone to
detect Korotkoff sounds.
Body temperature is usually measured by a
thermistor probe (a semiconductor whose
resistance changes with temperature) that is
inserted in the rectum or the esophagus.
There are various ways to measure respiratory
rate. The most common method, impedance
pneumography, passes a low-current, high-
frequency carrier signal between two ECG
electrodes on either side of the chest wall. The
impedance, or resistance, of the lungs changes as
the lungs expand and contract and as the volume
of air in the lungs changes. The change in
impedance creates a change in voltage across the Figure 2. Relationship of the aortic pressure waveforms to the ECG
carrier signal, which is interpreted as a breath waveform. The QRS complex is shown in the box.
and displayed as a waveform and digital readout

of the respiratory rate. Other, less common methods include placing a pressure-sensitive capsule on the abdomen
to detect body surface movements caused by breathing; placing a thermistor near the mouth or nose to detect the
temperature changes between inhaled and exhaled air; and using inductive plethysmography in which a
transponder attached to the chest wall generates and detects changes in an electromagnetic field.
The respiratory rate monitor may also include an apnea alarm that is triggered if no breaths are detected over a
period of time predetermined by the user. (All neonatal monitors include apnea alarms.) If breathing resumes
spontaneously, the monitor will reset itself, but a light indicating that an apneic episode occurred may remain on
until reset manually.
ETCO2 monitoring measures the concentration of CO2 throughout the respiratory cycle and is used to
determine CO2 concentration at the end of an exhaled breath, when CO2 has reached its maximum level. CO2
monitoring is also a means of determining the respiratory rate. Two types of CO 2 monitors are the capnometer
and the capnograph. Capnometers continuously measure CO2 and numerically display data, while capnographs
measure the increase and decrease in CO2 during each inspiratory/expiratory cycle and display both a CO2
waveform and numerical data. A capnometer connected to a patient monitor becomes a capnograph. For more
information, see the Product Comparison titled Carbon Dioxide Monitors, Exhaled Gas.
For thermal-dilution cardiac output (CO), a known volume of
saline or dextrose solution, the temperature of which is lower
than that of the blood, is rapidly injected through a catheter into
the right atrium. The solution mixes with venous blood, causing
it to cool slightly. The cooled blood is then pumped by the right
ventricle into the pulmonary artery, where it passes a
thermistor, which measures the change in blood temperature.
The signal from the thermistor is processed, and a thermal
dilution curve, from which CO and other hemodynamic
parameters are derived (e.g., cardiac index, stroke volume), is
displayed.
Pulse oximeters provide a noninvasive and continuous
means of monitoring the SpO2 of arterial blood, reducing the
need for arterial puncture and laboratory blood-gas analysis.
The pulse oximeter uses two LEDs (light-emitting diodes) that emit different wavelengths of light through a
capillary bed by means of a probe (usually placed over the adult patient’s fingertip, earlobe, or toe or the
neonate’s foot). A detector measures the amount of light absorbed by oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin. The
transmitted light is converted to electronic signals proportional to the absorbance values, from which SpO 2 values
are calculated and displayed.
SvO2 is most commonly monitored for very critically ill patients and trauma patients or during and after
coronary artery bypass graft procedures. SvO2 measures the end result of O2 delivery and consumption. A normal
SvO2 value represents O2 delivery sufficient to meet physiologic demands. A low SvO2 value indicates an
increased physiologic demand or an insufficient supply.
A few neonatal units also monitor the tcpO2 and/or tcpCO2 in the blood. Both O2 and CO2 diffuse through the
skin and pass through the semipermeable membrane of a heated sensor into a chamber, where they are measured
by chemical or optical means.
Physiologic monitors are often equipped with alarms that indicate system faults (usually loose or defective
electrodes), physiologic parameters that have exceeded the limits set by the operator, or both. Some monitors
have the capability to automatically switch the ECG lead waveform display when an ECG lead-off event occurs,
preventing the ECG waveform display from disabling.
In critical care areas where a central station monitor is required, the central station should be capable of
displaying ECG waveforms and other information from any bedside within that specific area. It should also

alarm when set limits on any bedside monitor within the system are exceeded. Central station monitors should be
capable of simultaneously displaying all waveforms from any one patient without interrupting the display of any
other patient’s ECG waveform. Communications capability between the central station and each bedside monitor
is essential. Documentation of alarm events can be provided using a recorder at each bedside or by having an
adequate number of recorders or printers at the central station. Also, alarm events may be stored at the central
station for later review.
Full disclosure
Full disclosure (FD) is the ability to continuously store beat-to-beat physiologic waveforms over an extended
period of time (e.g., 24 to 96 hours) for future review. FD is either incorporated in or interfaced with the central
monitoring station. FD waveforms can be viewed on computer screens in compressed or actual-time-based
format. Some systems allow FD records to be searched by time and/or event. Using FD may reduce the length of
stay for patients by allowing clinicians to review a patient’s condition over an extended time period to help
decide whether to discharge that patient.
Reported problems
Problems associated with patient monitors are often user-related. Poor electrode preparation and attachment
are most commonly reported. Electrodes, especially those with heating elements in the sensors (e.g., for tcpO2 and
tcpCO2 measurements), should be repositioned periodically to avoid burns and skin irritation. Clinicians should
follow standards for electrode use established by the American Heart Association. Cables and lead wires should
be periodically inspected for breaks and cracks; they should also be replaced as needed or on a regular schedule.
Loss of patient alarms, misleading alarms, and parameter errors have been the causes of most monitor recalls.
Users have experienced problems with monitors resetting automatically when interfaced as part of a larger
monitoring network, such as a central station network. Most of these problems stem from improper installation or
incompatible hardware or software. Software “bugs” can also cause some anomalies.
The use of pulse oximeters can be limited by interference from electrosurgical units, which generate high-
frequency signals that can radiate to a pulse oximeter probe and interfere with its operation. Because they are
designed to measure weak light signals transmitted through the skin, the photodetectors in the sensor can be
affected by high-intensity light (e.g., from fluorescent lights) as well as by other light sources such as surgical
lights, radiant warmers, bilirubin lights, and sunlight. Placing an opaque cover over the probe frequently
eliminates such interference, but clinicians must remain alert to the potential problems. Also, ECRI Institute has
received reports of burns to patients resulting from use of the wrong probe. Users should verify that probes and
pulse oximeters are compatible. In addition, it is best to remove any nail polish from the patient’s fingernails
before applying the probe because certain nail polish colors can interfere with SpO 2 measurements.
Incidents have been reported in which ECG lead wires were plugged into 120-volt electrical extension cords
and detachable power cords. In the United States, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires the use of
protected electrode lead wires and patient cables for all medical devices (there are some exceptions) to prevent
shock to patients. The use of any patient lead that cannot be plugged into an electrical wall receptacle, extension
cord, or detachable power cord and does not make electrical contact will prevent such incidents.
Wireless networks are limited by signal transmission range and interference; filters prevent the loss of a trace
caused by artifacts or by instances of electrical interference from other devices in the area (e.g., an electrosurgical
unit).
In neonatal monitors, impedance pneumography is intended to identify central apneas, yet it does not work
reliably for obstructive apneas. The HR alarm is intended to warn of a patient in distress when the respiratory
rate detection mechanism fails to detect apnea. Cardiac artifacts can also interfere with reliable detection of
respiratory efforts.

Electronic monitors may tempt hospital personnel to pay more attention to the equipment than to the patient
connected to it. External indications of a patient’s condition, such as skin color, respiratory effort, and staining of
surgical dressings, often precede the changes in metabolism that trigger the monitor’s alarms. Even monitors that
are functioning reliably cannot substitute for frequent direct observation. Physiologic monitors are a tool to help
the healthcare professional obtain a more complete clinical profile of the patient.
ECRI Institute has received several inquiries from member hospitals regarding how outbreaks of computer
worms could affect their networked medical equipment. Some worms have the potential to affect any product
that runs on a Windows-based operating system, such as Windows XP or Windows NT, and that is Web enabled
or e-mail capable or interfaced to a Web-enabled or e-mail-capable system. Worms differ from viruses in that they
do not need another program or file in order to replicate. The autonomous nature of worms makes them
dangerous to networked medical equipment because once a worm infects one part of the network, it can quickly
spread to all parts of the network without needing a user to open an infected file on a specific computer. Once the
worm infects a personal-computer-based medical device, it can cause damage in many ways, from slowing down
or crashing the system to erasing records. Operating system and security software used on networked medical
equipment should be updated regularly. However, updates and patches, especially for medical device operating
systems, may introduce new problems because of site-specific circumstances or the medical device supplier’s use
of custom versions of operating systems. In one recent case, an equipment supplier cautioned a facility that its
equipment was running a custom version of Windows XP. In this case, applying the Microsoft updates on the
equipment would compromise functionality of the equipment. Therefore, users should check the manufacturer’s
specific recommendations on each potentially affected product. ECRI Institute believes that medical device
manufacturers need to employ a security management system to address security threats to their devices and
provide recommendations to users. This would minimize confusion and save time for system users and, most
importantly, reduce the risk of catastrophic failures from installing an inappropriate update or from a virus or
worm. For more information, see ECRI Institute's Health Devices reference in the bibliography of this report.
Purchase considerations
ECRI Institute recommendations
Included in the accompanying comparison charts are ECRI Institute’s recommendations for minimum
performance requirements for patient monitors. These requirements have been broken down into three
categories: low, medium, and high acuity. These categories represent the care settings in which the systems will
be used and the types of patients they will be monitoring. The level of monitoring required is often highly
configurable to meet the needs of the healthcare facility.
Low-acuity, configured monitors are designed to perform basic vital-signs monitoring. These monitors may
also be appropriate for outpatient surgical applications that require low-level monitoring. For these applications,
HR will often be the primary monitored parameter and can be acquired from an ECG or SpO 2 signal. NIBP and
temperature are also commonly acquired at this level of monitoring.
Medium-acuity monitors are found in a variety of hospital settings, including the ED, the intermediate care
unit, and general medical/surgical floors. These monitors may be modular or configured, with add-on modules as
needed. Depending on the monitor’s portability, it may also be appropriate for transport applications. These
monitors are used for patients that require a moderate level of monitoring. This includes, in addition to the low-
acuity parameters, monitoring of IBP or ETCO2. Arrhythmia processing capabilities may also be beneficial for
these patients, and monitors will often be networked to a central station monitor for alarm surveillance.
High-acuity monitors are found in the critical care unit (CCU) and OR environments, as well as in
postanesthesia care units (PACUs). These monitors may be modular or configured, with add-on modules as
needed. These monitors allow high-level monitoring, including, in addition to the low-acuity parameters,
multiple invasive pressures, ETCO2, and arrhythmia/ST-segment analysis. Other useful parameters include level-

of-consciousness monitoring (e.g., BIS), SvO2, and cardiac output monitoring. CCU and PACU monitors will often
be networked to a central monitoring station, whereas such a configuration may not be necessary in the OR
environment where the patient is closely attended.
Central monitoring stations should have a local area network (LAN)-based system for the display and control
of data from bedside monitors. The LAN should be designed so that the failure of any bedside monitor or central
station display will not affect the performance of the entire system. The system should allow bedside monitor
display of data from another bedside monitor, including automatic display of alarm information. Central stations
should display waveforms, numerics, graphical displays, tabular displays, and calculations. The central station
should provide electronic storage of alarm events.
Other considerations
Monitoring system purchases should be carefully planned and coordinated for the entire facility. Such
purchases should be part of a long-range strategic monitor acquisition and management plan that considers the
hospital’s resources (especially financial), expected and desired patient population, and current technology base.
An effective assessment and purchasing process should be started at least six to eight months before the desired
start-up date of the equipment’s use. The size, and architectural layout of care areas, staffing levels, and
geographic proximity of patient assignments should be considered.
A coordinated three- to five-year long-range plan will provide greater leverage in dealing with manufacturers,
reduce intradepartmental conflicts within the hospital, and ensure that the hospital has explored the best possible
options. Furthermore, it is crucial that priorities be established regarding which monitoring needs are the most
pressing and how important standardization will be. Budget and time constraints should also be considered.
Each clinical area of a hospital requires a different level of patient monitoring. The condition of patients in
critical care areas such as intensive care units, cardiac care units, and neonatal intensive care units can often
change suddenly, requiring monitors that can accommodate the changing needs of the patient. Therefore, the
monitoring needs of these areas usually call for a modular system that displays at least six waveforms. The major
parameters that are usually necessary for monitors in critical care areas include ECG, IBP, NIBP, SpO2,
temperature, cardiac output, and ETCO2. Another purchase consideration for a critical care monitoring system is
an arrhythmia-detection system to identify and track the frequency of arrhythmias and alarm on life-threatening
arrhythmias. All patient data should be available at a central station monitor.
In the OR and PACU, monitors are often used on patients undergoing anesthesia for long and complicated
procedures. Therefore, modular systems are preferred for intensive procedures because of the large number of
parameters that are required and because many parameters can be added to a modular system. For routine OR
procedures, which are shorter and less complex and usually require fewer monitored parameters than intensive
procedures, either a modular or a configured monitoring system may meet the needs of the patient. Monitors
used in both intensive and routine OR procedures should have the capability to be integrated with the anesthesia
monitoring equipment to provide centralized alarm information. Monitoring parameters to be considered for the
OR should include ECG, IBP, NIBP, SpO2, temperature, cardiac output, BIS, and ETCO2; two-lead EEGs may also
be required for some procedures. A bedside recorder may be recommended to provide a hard copy of the ECG
trace for comparison during the case without disrupting the displayed information.
In EDs, the patient’s vital signs must be quickly ascertained and then continually monitored for several hours.
Monitors in these areas must be straightforward and easy to use. Parameters for use in EDs should include ECG,
NIBP, and SpO2; IBP and ETCO2 should also be considered. The ability to monitor 12-lead ECGs and provide ST-
segment analysis can improve cardiac assessment in the ED (e.g., help rule out myocardial infarction). Bedside
recorders or computer printers at central stations may be used in EDs to record alarm events and obtain ECG
strips for the patient’s chart.
During transport, the parameters monitored are usually the same parameters that were monitored in the
originating care area. ECG and SpO2 are most typically monitored; NIBP and respiratory rate monitoring may

also be required. Depending on clinical status, a patient may benefit from ETCO 2, invasive arterial blood
pressure, intracranial pressure, intermittent central venous pressure, pulmonary artery wedge pressure, and
cardiac output monitoring. For both intrahospital and interhospital transport, a monitor that is small and
lightweight and has a battery operating time that is long enough to allow for the longest transports and
unexpected delays is most appropriate. To document events, the monitor should also be equipped with a
recorder. A monitor’s temperature and humidity operating specifications can be important for interhospital
transport.
Alarms on a monitoring system should be carefully evaluated before deciding to acquire the monitoring
system. Patient outcome can be affected if a monitoring system fails to alarm for a critical event. The primary
defense against adverse clinical outcomes is consistent clinical vigilance and alertness, which monitors and
alarms cannot replace. Even when available and properly used, alarms can fail to warn of life-threatening
circumstances. However, when integrated into an appropriate program of patient care and vigilance, alarms can
be instrumental in avoiding patient injury and death.
Another important purchase consideration is whether the monitoring system can be easily interfaced to other
devices, including ventilators, anesthesia units, intravenous pumps, pulse oximeters, and multiple medical-gas
monitoring systems. In addition to interfacing with medical devices, patient monitors may interface with an
information system (e.g., hospital, lab) or allow the monitor to become the bedside information system terminal.
This functionality should be considered in conjunction with current information system infrastructure. The ability
to interface with an information system allows patient information and demographics to be easily shared, as well
as facilitate autopopulation of patient data (e.g., admissions, discharge, transfer [ADT] into radiology results).
Many service issues should be examined when purchasing patient monitors. Hospitals must decide whether
to have monitoring equipment serviced and maintained by in-house clinical engineering staff, an independent
service organization, a supplier’s service contract, or a combination of the three. Often, suppliers offer service
training for clinical engineers; such training should be negotiated when purchasing the system. Another purchase
consideration is the manufacturer’s software and hardware upgrade policies. Also, if service is required off-site,
users should investigate loaner availability.
Standardization should be applied, at minimum, within the department and perhaps hospitalwide. The use of
a single manufacturer to meet all the hospital’s monitoring requirements may reduce initial acquisition costs,
simplify servicing, give leverage when negotiating to resolve problems and obtain updates, and facilitate training.
Hospitals should also consider two-tiered standardization in which one supplier’s system is chosen for higher-
acuity areas (e.g., cardiac care unit) and another supplier’s system is chosen for lower-acuity areas (e.g., general
medical/surgical). If the monitoring demand exceeds the hospital’s expectations based on an average-to-high
number, additional monitoring equipment may be rented at low cost or no charge from the supplier or
distributor; an arrangement of this nature must be negotiated at the time of purchase.
A large range of electrodes is available; users should test a variety of electrodes from multiple suppliers to
determine which provides optimum results for their particular monitor. Price should not be the sole criterion
when purchasing electrodes; cost-effectiveness is negated if lower-priced electrodes must be replaced more often.
ECRI Institute suggests that clinical evaluations be performed on the considered systems before the final
purchase decision to ensure staff acceptance.
Cost containment
Because patient monitors entail ongoing maintenance and operational costs, the initial acquisition cost does not
accurately reflect the total cost of ownership. Therefore, a purchase decision should be based on issues such as
life-cycle cost, local service support, discount rates and non-price-related benefits offered by the supplier, and
standardization with existing equipment in the department or hospital (i.e., purchasing all monitors from one
supplier). When deciding to purchase a physiologic monitoring system, hospitals should also consider the
following:

 Utilization demands in monitored areas

 Number of patients
 Patient care objectives
 Number of monitors and telemetry transmitters
 Alarm coverage protocols
 Additional alarm notification equipment (e.g., hallway messaging boards, wireless systems)
 System configuration (i.e., remote versus central)
 General ease of monitor’s use (e.g., system design)
 Implementation plan and staffing adjustments
 Staff training
 Ability to expand capabilities with clinical needs, utilization requirements, and technological
advancements
Hospitals can purchase service contracts or service on a time-and-materials basis from the supplier. Service
may also be available from a third-party organization. The decision to purchase a service contract should be
carefully considered. The decision to purchase a service contract can be justified for several reasons. Most
suppliers provide routine software updates, which enhance the system’s performance, at no charge to service
contract customers. Furthermore, software updates are often cumulative; that is, previous software revisions may
be required to install and operate a new performance feature. Purchasing a service contract also ensures that
preventive maintenance will be performed at regular intervals, thereby eliminating the possibility of unexpected
maintenance costs. Also, many suppliers do not extend system performance and uptime guarantees beyond the
length of the warranty unless the system is covered by a service contract.
ECRI Institute recommends that, to maximize bargaining leverage, hospitals negotiate pricing for service
contracts before the system is purchased. As a guideline, full-service contracts typically cost approximately 5% to
8% of the system’s purchase price. Additional service contract discounts may be negotiable for multiple-year
agreements or for service contracts that are bundled with contracts on other monitors in the department or
hospital.
Stage of development
Because many applications that require measuring a patient’s ECG may also require the measurement of other
parameters, ECG monitors have been replaced with physiologic monitoring systems. The number of parameters
available in physiologic monitoring systems has increased. In addition, parameters such as cardiac output, SvO2,
anesthetic gas concentration, and ETCO2 are available as components for bedside monitors.
The increased density of today’s integrated circuits has decreased the size of patient monitors and has allowed
the incorporation of many parameters into one module. Smaller monitors not only facilitate portability, but also
enable continuous monitoring of a patient, even during transport.
The widespread use of microprocessors and faster electronics has allowed such capabilities as advanced
arrhythmia analysis, automatic calculation of hemodynamic parameters, expanded graphic and tabular trends,
correlation of signals for detecting waveform spikes caused by pacemakers and “false” respiration, and the ability
to integrate bedside monitors with computer systems and other monitoring equipment, such as anesthesia
machines. Self-testing diagnostics have also improved.
Some pulse oximeters use reflectance probes that allow light from LEDs to reflect back to a photosensor on the
same probe. These probes are typically placed on the forehead or chest. They are designed to help prevent
interference from motion artifacts as well as from peripheral circulatory shutdown, which can sometimes occur
when using transmittance probes. New pulse oximeters designed to provide accurate measurements even during
motion artifacts and low perfusion are now available from some suppliers. Through advanced digital signal-
processing techniques, these new pulse oximeters are better able to isolate the arterial blood signal from other
interfering sources. For more information, see the Product Comparison titled Oximeters, Pulse.

Other recent developments include electronic charting systems, which automatically record physiologic data
from the monitor on the chart at preselected intervals, allow entry of nurse and physician notes, and can be
networked into critical care unit data management systems. Some monitors are also Web-enabled, increasing
physicians’ flexibility when interacting with any patient-attached devices. Remote workstations, which allow
physicians to view a patient’s current status or electronic chart from the home or office, have also been
introduced, along with the ability to view an FD ECG report for the past 24 or more hours, which enables a
physician to correlate changes with other physiologic events that occurred during the day.

Note: The data in the charts derive from suppliers’ specifications and have not been verified through
independent testing by ECRI Institute or any other agency. Because test methods vary, different products’
specifications are not always comparable. Moreover, products and specifications are subject to frequent changes.
ECRI Institute is not responsible for the quality or validity of the information presented or for any adverse
consequences of acting on such information.
When reading the charts, keep in mind that, unless otherwise noted, the list price does not reflect supplier
discounts. And although we try to indicate which features and characteristics are standard and which are not,
some may be optional, at additional cost.
For those models whose prices were supplied to us in currencies other than U.S. dollars, we have also listed the
conversion to U.S. dollars to facilitate comparison among models. However, keep in mind that exchange rates change
often.

Policy Statement
The Healthcare Product Comparison System (HPCS) is published by ECRI Institute, a nonprofit organization.
HPCS provides comprehensive information to help healthcare professionals select and purchase diagnostic and
therapeutic capital equipment more effectively in support of improved patient care.
The information in Product Comparisons comes from a number of sources: medical and biomedical
engineering literature, correspondence and discussion with manufacturers and distributors, specifications from
product literature, and ECRI Institute’s Problem Reporting System. While these data are reviewed by qualified
health professionals, they have not been tested by ECRI Institute’s clinical and engineering personnel and are
largely unconfirmed. The Healthcare Product Comparison System and ECRI Institute are not responsible for the
quality or validity of information derived from outside sources or for any adverse consequences of acting on such
information.
The appearance or listing of any item, or the use of a photograph thereof, in the Healthcare Product Comparison
System does not constitute the endorsement or approval of the product’s quality, performance, or value, or of
claims made for it by the manufacturer. The information and photographs published in Product Comparisons
appear at no charge to manufacturers.
Many of the words or model descriptions appearing in the Healthcare Product Comparison System are
proprietary names (e.g., trademarks), even though no reference to this fact may be made. The appearance of any
name without designation as proprietary should not be regarded as a representation that is not the subject of
proprietary rights.
ECRI Institute respects and is impartial to all ethical medical device companies and practices. The Healthcare
Product Comparison System accepts no advertising and has no obligations to any commercial interests. ECRI
Institute and its employees accept no royalties, gifts, finder’s fees, or commissions from the medical device
industry, nor do they own stock in medical device companies. Employees engage in no private consulting work
for the medical device industry.
About ECRI Institute

ECRI Institute, a nonprofit organization, dedicates itself to bringing the discipline of applied scientific research
in healthcare to uncover the best approaches to improving patient care. As pioneers in this science for nearly 40
years, ECRI Institute marries experience and independence with the objectivity of evidence-based research.
More than 5,000 healthcare organizations worldwide rely on ECRI Institute’s expertise in patient safety
improvement, risk and quality management, healthcare processes, devices, procedures, and drug technology.
ECRI Institute is one of only a handful of organizations designated as both a Collaborating Center of the World
Health Organization and an Evidence-based Practice Center by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality. For more information, visit http://www.ecri.org.
