medical ECONET M20 ECG – Vital Signs Monitor
Compact Vital Signs Monitor with Integrated 3-Channel ECG
The medical ECONET M20 ECG Vital Signs Monitor combines efficient vital signs measurement with an integrated 3-channel ECG function. This makes the compact system particularly suitable for healthcare environments where blood pressure, oxygen saturation and pulse rate need to be assessed alongside cardiac activity.
The M20 ECG features an 8-inch touchscreen, integrated printer, Spot-Check functionality and monitoring mode. It is designed for professional use in medical practices, outpatient facilities, hospital wards and clinical environments.
Vital Signs and ECG in One Device
The key difference between the standard M20 and the M20 ECG is the additional ECG functionality.
The M20 ECG combines:
- 3-channel ECG
- SpO₂ measurement
- pulse rate
- non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP)
- Spot-Check measurements
- MEWS – Modified Early Warning Score
- monitoring mode
- integrated printer
This combination makes the M20 ECG particularly suitable when routine vital signs assessment needs to be complemented by ECG monitoring.
Integrated 3-Channel ECG
Monitor cardiac activity directly on the vital signs monitor
The integrated 3-channel ECG enables cardiac electrical activity to be monitored and ECG waveforms to be displayed directly on the monitor.
Healthcare professionals can therefore view cardiac activity alongside SpO₂, pulse rate and blood pressure on a single device.
It is important to distinguish this functionality from a dedicated diagnostic electrocardiograph. The M20 ECG is primarily a vital signs monitor with additional ECG functionality. For diagnostic 12-lead electrocardiography, a dedicated ECG system is the more appropriate device category.
8-Inch Touchscreen
Clear display and intuitive operation
The M20 ECG features an 8-inch touchscreen designed for straightforward operation in everyday clinical workflows.
Vital signs and ECG information are presented centrally on one device, reducing the need to use several separate measurement systems for routine patient assessment.
SpO₂ and Pulse Rate
Oxygen saturation as an essential vital parameter
The M20 ECG measures peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and pulse rate.
These parameters provide important information for routine patient assessment and can be viewed together with blood pressure and ECG information.
An adult SpO₂ sensor and corresponding adapter cable are included with the device.
NIBP – Non-Invasive Blood Pressure
Blood pressure measurement for adults, children and neonates
The integrated NIBP function enables non-invasive blood pressure measurement for adult, paediatric and neonatal patients.
This makes the M20 ECG suitable for different patient groups and a wide range of professional healthcare environments.
An adult NIBP cuff and NIBP hose are included. Appropriate cuffs and accessories must be selected when monitoring other patient groups.
Spot-Check and Monitoring Mode
Flexible operation for different clinical workflows
The M20 ECG supports both Spot-Check measurements with MEWS and a monitoring mode.
This means the device is not limited to individual measurements at a single point in time. Depending on the clinical workflow, patient parameters can also be observed over a longer period.
The combination positions the M20 ECG between a conventional Spot-Check vital signs monitor and a more comprehensive multiparameter patient monitoring system.
MEWS – Modified Early Warning Score
Structured support for vital signs assessment
The M20 ECG supports MEWS – Modified Early Warning Score.
MEWS provides a structured approach to assessing relevant vital parameters and can support healthcare professionals in recognising changes in a patient's condition within established clinical workflows.
The scoring function supports clinical assessment but does not replace professional medical judgement.
Integrated Thermal Printer
Print measurement data and ECG waveforms directly from the monitor
A practical feature of the M20 ECG is its integrated printer.
Relevant measurement data and ECG waveforms can therefore be printed directly from the device, supporting immediate documentation and review.
Printer paper is included in the standard package.
160-Hour Trend Memory
Review vital signs over time
The M20 ECG provides a 160-hour trend memory.
This allows measurement data to be reviewed not only at the time of assessment but also over a longer period, supporting trend evaluation and follow-up.
Barcode Scanner and Central Monitoring
Supporting efficient patient identification and clinical workflows
The M20 ECG provides connectivity for a barcode scanner and can also be integrated with a Central Monitoring System (CMS) depending on the required configuration.
Barcode functionality can be particularly useful in environments where measurements need to be assigned efficiently to different patients.
Battery Operation for Flexible Use
Designed for mobility within healthcare facilities
The M20 ECG is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with an operating time of approximately 5.5 hours.
With dimensions of approximately 165 × 250 × 165 mm and a weight of around 2.5 kg excluding the battery, the device remains compact enough for flexible use within medical facilities.
Typical Applications
For medical practices, outpatient care and hospitals
The combination of vital signs measurement, ECG, touchscreen operation and integrated printing makes the M20 ECG suitable for a wide range of healthcare environments.
Typical applications include:
- medical practices
- outpatient departments
- hospital wards
- nursing and care facilities
- rehabilitation facilities
- recovery and observation areas
- mobile clinical applications
The M20 ECG is particularly useful where several essential vital signs and cardiac activity need to be assessed with one compact system.
M20 or M20 ECG?
ECG functionality is the key difference
The medical ECONET M20 series includes different solutions for routine vital signs assessment.
The standard M20 Vital Signs Monitor focuses on essential vital parameters such as SpO₂, pulse rate and NIBP, together with temperature measurement.
The M20 ECG extends this concept with an integrated 3-channel ECG and printer.
| M20 | M20 ECG | |
|---|---|---|
| 8" touchscreen | Yes | Yes |
| SpO₂ | Yes | Yes |
| Pulse rate | Yes | Yes |
| NIBP | Yes | Yes |
| Spot-Check | Yes | Yes |
| MEWS | Yes | Yes |
| 3-channel ECG | No | Yes |
| Integrated printer | – | Yes |
| Trend memory | 160 h | 160 h |
The M20 is therefore well suited to conventional routine vital signs checks, while the M20 ECG is the appropriate choice when ECG-based cardiac monitoring is also required.
M20 ECG or PROview Patient Monitor?
Clear distinction between vital signs and multiparameter monitoring
Despite its additional ECG functionality, the M20 ECG remains primarily a vital signs monitor.
The medical ECONET PROview series is designed for more comprehensive multiparameter patient monitoring.
For the V-MEDTECH category structure, we therefore maintain a clear separation:
Vital Signs Monitors → M20 / M20 ECG
Patient Monitors → PROview 10 / PROview 12 / PROview 15
This also helps customers distinguish the M20 ECG from both a comprehensive multiparameter patient monitor and a dedicated diagnostic ECG machine.
