1.1 Intended Use/Indications for Use
The monitors are intended to be used for monitoring, storing, and reviewing of, and to generate
alarms for, multiple physiological parameters of adults, pediatrics and neonates. The monitors are
intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in hospital environments.
The monitored physiological parameters include: ECG, respiration (RESP), temperature (TEMP),
oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO

), pulse rate (PR), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP),
invasive blood pressure (IBP), carbon dioxide (CO
2
), cardiac output (C.O.), anesthetic gas (AG),
bispectral index (BIS), respiration mechanics (RM) and, impedance cardiography (ICG). Also,
the V-Link module is intended for connecting external devices, such as Neuromuscular

monitor, and it allows the data from external devices to be displayed on the monitor.
BIS is intended for use on adult and pediatric patients.
ICG monitoring is intended for use on adults only.
NMT is intended for use on adult and pediatric patients.
