The monitors are intended to be used for monitoring, storing, and reviewing of, and to generate alarms for, multiple physiological parameters of adults and pediatrics. The monitors are intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in hospital environments.
The LM-8 monitor monitors parameters such as ECG (3-lead, 5-lead, 12-lead selectable), Respiration (RESP), Functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), Invasive or noninvasive blood pressure (dual-IBP, NIBP), Temperature (dual-TEMP), Expired CO2 and Quick Temperature (Quick TEMP).
The LM-10 monitor monitors parameters such as ECG (3-lead, 5-lead, 12-lead selectable), Respiration (RESP), Functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), Invasive or noninvasive blood pressure (2/4 channels IBP, NIBP), Cardiac Output (C.O.), Temperature (dual-TEMP) and Expired CO2.
The LM-12 monitor monitors parameters such as ECG (3-lead, 5-lead, 12-lead selectable), Respiration (RESP), Functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), Invasive or noninvasive blood pressure (2/4 channels IBP, NIBP), Cardiac Output (C.0O.), Temperature (dual-TEMP), Expired CO2 and Anesthetic gas (AQG).
The LM-15 monitor monitors parameters such as ECG (3-lead, 5-lead, 12-lead selectable), Respiration (RESP), Functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), Invasive or noninvasive blood pressure (2/4 channels IBP, NIBP), Cardiac Output (C.0O.), Temperature (dual-TEMP), Expired CO2 and Anesthetic gas (AQG).
The arrhythmia detection and ST Segment analysis are intended for adult and pediatric patients.
The monitors are not intended for MRI environments.
