medical ECONET M20 ECG – Vital Signs Monitor

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about the medical ECONET M20 ECG

Does the M20 ECG have an integrated ECG?

Yes. The M20 ECG features an integrated 3-channel ECG function.

Can the M20 ECG measure blood pressure?

Yes. The NIBP function supports adult, paediatric and neonatal patients when the appropriate cuff is used.

Does the M20 ECG measure SpO₂?

Yes. SpO₂ and pulse rate are among its core measurement functions.

Does the M20 ECG have an integrated printer?

Yes. The device features an integrated printer, allowing measurement data and ECG waveforms to be printed directly from the monitor.

Is the M20 ECG a diagnostic ECG machine?

The M20 ECG is positioned as a vital signs monitor with integrated ECG functionality. It should therefore be distinguished from a dedicated diagnostic electrocardiograph designed specifically for diagnostic ECG acquisition and interpretation.

What is the difference between the M20 and M20 ECG?

The standard M20 focuses on routine vital signs assessment. The M20 ECG extends the concept primarily with an integrated 3-channel ECG and printer.

Buy the medical ECONET M20 ECG at V-MEDTECH

The medical ECONET M20 ECG is a versatile solution for healthcare professionals who require a compact vital signs monitor while also needing integrated ECG monitoring.

With 3-channel ECG, SpO₂, pulse rate, NIBP, an 8-inch touchscreen, MEWS, trend memory and integrated printer, the M20 ECG combines important functions for everyday patient assessment in one compact system.

For routine vital signs checks without ECG functionality, the standard M20 provides a streamlined alternative. Where more comprehensive continuous multiparameter monitoring is required, the medical ECONET PROview patient monitor series should be considered.
