Vital Signs Monitors

Professional Vital Signs Monitoring for Medical Practices, Outpatient Care, Hospital Wards and Clinics

medical ECONET vital signs monitors provide an efficient solution for measuring and documenting essential patient vital signs. They are particularly suitable for environments where patients require regular observations without the need for continuous multiparameter monitoring using a full patient monitor.

The M20 series is designed for this purpose. Depending on the configuration, important parameters such as SpO₂, pulse rate, non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), temperature and ECG can be measured.

Vital signs monitors therefore bridge the gap between individual diagnostic devices and comprehensive multiparameter patient monitoring systems.

For the V-MEDTECH category structure, we maintain a clear distinction:

Vital Signs Monitors → M20 series

Patient Monitors → PROview series

medical ECONET M20 Vital Signs Monitors

Multiple vital signs in one compact system

The M20 series is designed for efficient measurement and documentation of essential vital signs.

Instead of measuring blood pressure, oxygen saturation, pulse and temperature with several separate devices, these parameters can be collected using one central vital signs monitor.

Typical applications include:

• medical practices
• outpatient facilities
• hospital wards
• admission and assessment areas
• nursing and care facilities
• examination and treatment rooms
• routine patient rounds

Its compact design makes the M20 particularly suitable for environments where vital signs need to be measured directly at the patient's bedside or at different locations within a healthcare facility.

M20 Vital Signs Monitor

SpO₂, blood pressure, pulse and temperature in one device

The medical ECONET M20 is designed for the combined measurement of key vital parameters.

Important measurements include:

• SpO₂ – oxygen saturation
• pulse rate
• NIBP – non-invasive blood pressure
• temperature

The system features an 8-inch touchscreen for clear presentation of measurement results and intuitive operation.

NIBP measurement is designed for different patient groups, allowing the system to be used with adult, paediatric and neonatal patients when the appropriate accessories are used.

M20 with ECG

Vital signs monitoring with additional ECG functionality

For applications where information about cardiac activity is required in addition to conventional vital signs, an M20 configuration with ECG is available.

This expands standard vital signs monitoring with an additional cardiac monitoring function.

It is important, however, to distinguish this from a diagnostic electrocardiograph.

A vital signs monitor with ECG is primarily intended for patient observation and vital signs monitoring.

A dedicated diagnostic ECG device from the medical ECONET CARDIO series is designed specifically for recording and diagnostically evaluating electrocardiograms.

SpO₂ and Pulse Rate

Efficient monitoring of oxygen saturation

Measurement of peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO₂) is one of the core functions of a vital signs monitor.

Together with pulse rate, it provides important information about the patient's current condition.

Unlike a standalone pulse oximeter, a vital signs monitor combines these values with additional parameters such as blood pressure and temperature.

This enables several important vital signs to be measured and viewed within a single system.

NIBP – Non-Invasive Blood Pressure

Blood pressure as a central part of vital signs assessment

Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) is one of the fundamental functions of the M20 series.

Systolic and diastolic blood pressure can be assessed alongside other vital parameters.

Especially during patient admission, ward rounds and routine observations, combining several measurements in one device can provide a more efficient workflow than using multiple separate instruments.

Temperature Measurement

Integrating body temperature into routine vital signs assessment

Body temperature is another fundamental vital sign.

The M20 integrates temperature measurement into the overall assessment process, allowing blood pressure, SpO₂, pulse rate and temperature to be measured within one system.

This is particularly useful for repeated routine observations where several vital parameters need to be recorded for each patient.

Spot-Check Vital Signs Monitoring

Designed for admissions, ward rounds and routine observations

One of the main differences between a vital signs monitor and a conventional patient monitor is the intended workflow.

Vital signs monitors are particularly suitable for spot-check measurements – targeted measurements of a patient's vital signs at a specific point in time.

Typical applications include:

• patient admission
• routine observations
• ward rounds
• outpatient examinations
• pre- and postoperative checks
• follow-up measurements

This makes the M20 series particularly useful in environments where healthcare professionals need to assess multiple patients efficiently.

MEWS – Structured Assessment of Vital Signs

Supporting clinical assessment

Modern vital signs monitoring can involve more than displaying individual measurements.

The M20 supports MEWS – Modified Early Warning Score, providing a structured approach to evaluating relevant vital parameters.

This can help healthcare professionals recognise changes in a patient's condition within established clinical workflows.

The vital signs monitor does not replace clinical judgement; rather, it supports the structured acquisition and presentation of relevant patient data.

Vital Signs Monitors for Medical Practices

Bringing several routine measurements together

In medical practices, blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen saturation and temperature are often measured one after another.

A vital signs monitor can streamline this workflow by combining several measurement functions in one central device.

This can be particularly useful in:

• general practice
• internal medicine
• cardiology
• pulmonology
• outpatient diagnostics
• medical centres

The main advantage is not continuous bedside monitoring, but the efficient acquisition of several vital signs during routine examinations and patient assessments.

Vital Signs Monitors for Hospitals and Wards

Efficient vital signs assessment directly at the bedside

On hospital wards, vital signs often need to be checked regularly for many patients.

A compact vital signs monitor can be moved between patients and enables several measurements to be performed using one system.

This concept is particularly suitable for ward rounds, admissions, routine observations and follow-up assessments.

Vital Signs Monitor or Patient Monitor?

The intended monitoring workflow determines the right system

Whether a vital signs monitor or a patient monitor is appropriate depends primarily on how the patient needs to be monitored.

This distinction is important for a clear product structure.

A healthcare professional looking for a device for routine vital signs assessment does not necessarily require a comprehensive patient monitor. Conversely, the M20 should not be positioned as a replacement for an advanced continuous multiparameter monitoring system.

Vital Signs Monitor, Pulse Oximeter or Blood Pressure Monitor?

Multiple parameters or a dedicated single measurement?

Another important distinction concerns standalone measurement devices.

A pulse oximeter primarily measures SpO₂ and pulse rate.

A blood pressure monitor is primarily designed for blood pressure measurement.

A vital signs monitor, by contrast, combines several of these measurements in one central system.

This makes it particularly useful when several vital signs need to be assessed routinely for the same patient.

Which medical ECONET Vital Signs Monitor Is Right for Me?

Select the M20 according to the required parameters

The first consideration should be which vital signs actually need to be measured.

For routine vital signs assessment, the M20 provides a compact combination of key parameters such as blood pressure, SpO₂, pulse rate and temperature.

Where additional cardiac monitoring is required, an M20 ECG configuration may be appropriate.

For applications requiring continuous multiparameter monitoring or more advanced monitoring functions, a patient monitor from the PROview series is the more appropriate product category.
