Vital Signs Monitor

An electronic device used to measure and display key physiological parameters, including heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and body temperature, providing real-time health assessments.

 

Multiparameter Monitor

A type of vital signs monitor that can simultaneously measure and display multiple physiological parameters, offering comprehensive health monitoring.

 

Non-Invasive Monitoring

The measurement of vital signs without the need for invasive procedures, often associated with sensors or probes placed on the skin or body.

 

Continuous Monitoring

The real-time, uninterrupted tracking of vital signs over an extended period, allowing healthcare providers to observe trends and changes in a patient’s condition.

 

Heart Rate Monitor

A component of a vital signs monitor specifically designed to measure and display the number of heartbeats per minute, often utilizing sensors placed on the chest or fingertips.

 

Pulse Oximeter

A device integrated into a vital signs monitor or used independently to measure and display oxygen saturation levels in the blood, typically by attaching a probe to a fingertip.

 

Blood Pressure Monitor

A component of a vital signs monitor designed to measure and display blood pressure, often utilizing an inflatable cuff and electronic pressure sensor.

 

Temperature Module

A component of a vital signs monitor that measures and displays body temperature, commonly using sensors placed in the ear, mouth, or on the skin.

 

Respiratory Rate Sensor

A component of a vital signs monitor that measures and displays the number of breaths per minute, often using sensors placed on the chest or abdomen.

 

Waveform Display

The graphical representation of physiological waveforms, such as the electrocardiogram (ECG) or plethysmographic waveform, on the vital signs monitor screen.
