An ECG machine 12 lead is medical equipment that records the heart’s electrical activity from multiple viewing angles and displays it as waveforms on paper and/or a digital file. “ECG” stands for electrocardiogram (also written as EKG in some countries). The “12 lead” part refers to 12 different electrical views of the heart, generated using electrodes placed on the patient’s limbs and chest.
A Telemetry transmitter is a wearable clinical device that captures a patient’s electrocardiogram (ECG) signal from skin electrodes and transmits it wirelessly to a hospital monitoring system for continuous display, alarm detection, and documentation. It is most commonly used for inpatients who need ongoing heart rhythm surveillance but do not require a fully wired bedside monitor in an intensive care unit (ICU).
Central monitoring station is a networked clinical device used to view, manage, and document physiologic monitoring for multiple patients from a single location. In many hospitals, it is the “hub” that aggregates signals such as electrocardiography (ECG), oxygen saturation (SpO₂), heart rate, non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), and other parameters transmitted from bedside monitors and telemetry systems.
A **Multi parameter patient monitor** is bedside (or transport) **hospital equipment** designed to measure, display, and alarm on multiple vital signs at the same time—typically heart rate and rhythm, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and temperature, with optional advanced parameters depending on the care area and model.
Capnography monitor EtCO2 is a piece of hospital equipment that continuously measures carbon dioxide (CO₂) in exhaled breath and displays both a number and (in most systems) a waveform over time. The number is commonly called **EtCO2**, short for **end-tidal carbon dioxide**—the CO₂ level measured at the end of exhalation. Because ventilation problems often appear in exhaled CO₂ before they show up in oxygen saturation, capnography has become a practical, safety-focused tool in anesthesia, critical care, emergency care, and procedural sedation workflows.
Pulse oximeter continuous is a clinical device used to monitor a patient’s oxygen saturation and pulse rate continuously and noninvasively. In modern hospitals and many outpatient settings, continuous pulse oximetry is a foundational safety layer because low blood oxygen levels (hypoxemia) can develop quickly and may not be obvious early on, especially when patients are sedated, sleeping, or clinically unstable.
Pulse oximeter spot check is a portable, non-invasive medical device used to quickly estimate peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate at a single point in time. In day-to-day hospital operations, it sits in the “vital signs toolkit” alongside temperature, blood pressure, and respiratory rate—especially in triage areas, outpatient clinics, wards, and transport workflows where rapid assessment matters.
Stethoscope is a foundational bedside medical device used to listen to internal body sounds (auscultation), most commonly the heart, lungs, and blood vessels. Despite rapid growth in imaging and point-of-care technologies, Stethoscope remains widely used because it is fast, portable, low infrastructure, and immediately available in most clinical settings—from primary care clinics to intensive care units (ICUs).
An **Ambulatory BP monitor** is a wearable medical device used to measure blood pressure (BP) repeatedly over an extended period—typically across normal daytime activities and sleep. Unlike a single clinic reading, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (often abbreviated **ABPM**) captures BP variability over time, helping clinicians and healthcare teams understand how BP behaves in real-world conditions.
Blood pressure cuff automatic is a widely used **medical device** for measuring **blood pressure (BP)** without inserting a catheter into an artery. It is a core part of routine vital signs in hospitals, clinics, ambulances, and many outpatient workflows. Because BP trends influence triage, monitoring decisions, escalation pathways, and documentation, the accuracy and safe operation of this **hospital equipment** matters to both clinical teams and healthcare operations leaders.
