Functions
Comforting Monitoring
Monitoring can be accomplished at any time and in almost every place. The VitaGuard® VG 3100 generates acoustic and visual alarms when no respiration or movement is detected for a preset time, i.e. central apnea*, or when the measured oxygen saturation or heart rate violates the limits set by the operator. For SpO2, the Masimo Signal Extraction Technology (SET®) is used. A technical alarm is emitted and a corresponding message displayed should an electrode or the SpO2 sensor become loose. A port is also provided for connecting the monitor to an external alarm unit or a nurse call unit.
* obstructive apnea cannot be detected
Extensive Data Storage
In the event of a physiological alarm, the measured values, their associated waveforms, and the monitor settings for selectable periods prior to and after the event are automatically stored. Over 400 such events can be captured in the event driven memory. Both manual and interval driven data storage is also possible. Parallel to the event driven memory, the VG 3100 incorporates a 144-hour trend loop memory and a 16-hour full-disclosure loop memory for continuous data storage.
Innovative Technology – Easy to Use
The clearly arranged layout of the control elements ensures ease of operation, not only for trained clinical personnel but also for caregivers without previous medical or technical training.
