Patient monitor Description

Patient monitors are in wide use in hospital and clinic setting and considered vital medical equipment for the delivery of an excellent standard of care. Like all medical devices, a patient monitor can be prohibitively expensive but still urgently needed. One of the ways of obtaining this equipment with tight budgets is the purchase of used equipment instead of new.
There are many types of monitors from the basic vital signs monitor to the advanced ansesthetic monitor or 5 agent gas monitor, required for patients undergoing anesthesia and many patient monitors that are multiparameter . One simple monitor widely used is the pulse oximeter monitor to detect the oxygen saturation, or SpO2, in the blood through the skin. A sensor with a special light is attached to the finger or earlobe for an almost instant reading. Buying used oxygen meters can speed up testing by having more available.
Another type of monitor, one that provides information by telemetry is especially critical in cardiac units and there is usually a need for a large number of these monitors. There must be extras to replace broken or damaged monitors or modules so having a very large inventory is both essential and costly. Reducing the per unit cost through used medical equipment purchasing makes having a safety cushion of extra units more affordable.
