V Series Operating Instructions xxvii
Indications for Use Introduction
Indications for Use
The V Series Monitoring System is intended for intra hospital use under the direct supervision of a 
licensed healthcare practitioner.The Indications for Use for the V 12/V 21 include the continuous 
monitoring of the following human physiological parameters: 
• ECG waveform derived from 3, 5 and 12 lead measurements
• Heart Rate 
• ST Segment Analysis 
• Arrhythmia Detection 
• 12-lead ECG interpretation
• QT Analysis
• Pulse Oximetry (SpO
2
)
• Pulse Rate (PR)
• Non Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)
• Invasive Blood Pressure (IBP) 
• Cardiac Output (C.O.)
• Respiratory Gases (O
2
, CO
2
)
• Respiration Rate (RESP)
• Anesthetic Gases (Iso, Enf, Sev, Hal, Des, N
2
O)
• Temperature ( TEMP)
• Bispectral Index (BIS)
The V 12/V 21 Monitor has the capability of performing IV Drug and Hemodynamic Calculations and 
interfacing with network devices.
The target populations are adult, pediatric and neonate with the exception of:
• Arrhythmia detection, ST Segment Analysis and QT Analysis, for which the target populations are 
adult and pediatric only, 
• IV Drug Calculations for which the target population is adult only
• Cardiac Output for which the target population are adult and pediatric only, and
• Bispectral Index (BIS) for which the target population are adult and pediatric only.
