This device is viewed as a technology change and can be used with various other Marquette devices. Marquette has clearances for various patient monitors and its central station which are part of its wired Unity network. The intended patient population is limited to the same population as the device that the technology is being used with. This device should be used by people who are trained in the use of the equipment. This device is intended to be used within the hospital / facility environment.
