DESCRIPTION

Also, due to their compact size and light weight, they offer a high degree of flexibility.    Features including storage of silent alarms for all monitored parameters as well as additional manual storage of physiological signals extend the application spectrum of the devices. Measurement functions for basal impedance as well as ECG and respiration amplitudes simplify device operation and, coupled with complex signal processing algorithms, increase the reliability.    The high-resolution graphical LCD display enhances intuitive operation and allows simultaneous visual inspection of the measured parameters, alarm settings, waveforms and status messages. Acoustic and visual alarms are generated when the physiological parameters move outside their respective preset alarm limits. When an alarm occurs, the physiological parameters and their associated waveforms are stored in event memory.    Parallel to the event driven memory functions, VitaGuard® incorporates a 72-hours trend memory along with an 8-hour full-disclosure memory. getemed's software tool VitaWin® is available to download, visualize and analyze the stored data.
