VITAL SIGNS MONITOR BUYER’S GUIDE

CHOOSING THE BEST CONTINUOUS VITAL SIGNS MONITOR FOR YOUR FACILITY

Finding the best Continuous Vital Signs Monitor for your facility involves careful consideration of a number of factors. These include the vital signs you need to monitor, required features, accessories, and your budget.

Critical patients need continuous monitoring of their vital signs including blood pressure (BP), pulse rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation (SpO2), and temperature. 

Blood Pressure (BP) is the measure of the force the heart uses to pump blood around the body. 

Pulse Rate refers to the number of times the heart beats per minute.

Respiratory Rate is the number of breaths a person takes per minute. 

Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) pertains to the amount of oxygen circulating in a person’s body. 

Temperature is the measure of the hotness and coldness of the patient's body. 

With so much at stake, medical facilities need a Continuous Vital Monitor that is not only highly accurate but also easy to use, reliable, and seamlessly integrates with the facility’s workflow.

What Features Are Required and What Are Optional?

The context in which the Vital Signs Machine is going to be used is crucial in determining what features are needed and not needed. For example, it’s best to choose a monitor for ICU or emergency use that can measure invasive blood pressure (IBP) and end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2).

The size of your facility should also be considered. If you’re buying a Vital Signs Monitor for a small or new facility, you probably won’t need WiFi or Bluetooth capabilities. But if for a large medical facility, these features may be absolutely needed for smooth network integration. 

What is Your Working Budget?

Continuous Vital Signs Monitors can cost anywhere from $1000 to upwards of $10,000 depending on the model and features. The good news is most Continuous Vital Signs Monitors are modular, which means you can choose which modules to initially purchase to fit your budget. You can then upgrade later on as the budget allows. 

Standard Vital Signs Monitors usually have built-in modules for measuring pulse rate (PR), BP, and heart rate. If you want the ability to measure temperature, end-tidal CO2, and respiratory rate, you will have to purchase additional modules.

Need Extra Accessories?

There are several add-ons and accessories that can help you maximize your Continuous Vital Monitor. For instance, a variety of mounting options including a wall mount, a mobile stand, and a desktop stand will help you seamlessly integrate the vital monitor into your workflow.

Blood pressure (BP) cuffs are also important to consider. While many Vital Signs Monitors come with basic adult BP cuffs, you might want to separately purchase pediatric cuffs if your facility often gets pediatric patients or extra-large adult BP cuffs for bariatric patients.

If your facility prefers to use cuffs and sensors from a specific brand, make sure to secure an adapter cable that lets the Vital Signs Machine work smoothly with the cuffs and sensors. Edan, for example, offers an adapter cable that enables the iM3 Vital Signs Monitor to be used with Nellcor SpO2 sensors.
