This medical equipment, needed in clinics and hospitals, is used to monitor and control the vital signs of the patient connected to the apparatus and which requires continuous supervision; this device detects, processes and records the physiological and cardiac parameters of the patient, the design of these equipment should be simple to facilitate its use by medical staff, nurses and paramedics.
Each function must be separated in order to be replaced individually if there is a fault; they must be easy to operate and their functions must be easy to learn, so an ergonomic and simple design is required, we at KALSTEIN can offer you these features on the monitors.
Values recorded by a vital signs monitor.
- Heart rate: they are two noises and must be rhythmic and regular, occurring 60 to 100 times in a minute, the latter being called heart rate.
- Blood pressure: The blood pressure reading uses two numbers. Generally, the systolic number is placed before or above the diastolic number.
- Pulse: number of heartbeats per minute.
- Oxygen saturation: It’s the amount of oxygen available in the blood.
- Body temperature: Body temperature measurement can detect a disease, effectiveness of treatment, or if it corresponds to a fever.

How to read a vital signs monitor
A vital signs monitor must be handled by specialized medical personnel, some can be programmed and configured manually with the data we require, set parameters and set alarms, others are already factory configured; however, we must observe the graph of an electrocardiogram, also to read the alterations of the invasive and non-invasive blood pressure, the saturation of oxygen in the blood, the body temperature, intracranial pressure, among other values for which it has been configured.
All recorded values appear on the monitor, so we must know that 20/80 means that you have a systolic pressure of 120 and a diastolic pressure of 80; proper saturation levels cause the body’s cells to receive the right amount of oxygen, the alarms they report when these parameters come out of what are considered normal values.
