1 About the Product
1.1 Introduction
The DPM4 Patient Monitor, a portable and accessible patient monitor, which applies to adults,
pediatric and neonates, is supplied by rechargeable battery or external AC power. You can select
different configurations as required. Besides, the DPM4 can be connected with the central
monitoring system whereby a monitoring network will be formed. Parameters that the DPM4 can
monitor include: ECG, RESP, SpO
2
, NIBP, 2-channel TEMP, 2-channel IBP, and CO
2
. It is a
compact and lightweight patient monitor. Its color TFT LCD is able to show patient parameters
and waveforms clearly. The compact control panel and knob control, and the easy-to-use menu
system enable you to freeze, record, or perform other operations conveniently.
The DPM4 Patient Monitor measures patient’s ECG, NIBP, SpO
2
, TEMP, RESP, IBP, and CO
2
physiological signals through the ECG electrode, SpO
2
sensor, cuff, temperature sensor and
pressure transducer. During the measurement, the patient monitor does not get energy or any
substance from the human body, and does not release any substance to the human body. However,
it releases sine wave signals to the patient when measuring the respiration rate. The patient
monitor converts the measured physiological signals to the digital signals, waveforms and values,
and then displays them on the screen. You can control the patient monitor through the control
panel. For example, you can set different alarm limits for different patients. Thus, when the
patient monitor detects any physiological parameter exceeding the preset alarm limit, it will
enable the audio and visual alarm.
1.2 Application
1.2.1 General
In the treatment processes, it is necessary to monitor important physiological information of
patients. Therefore, the patient monitor has been playing an outstanding role among medical
devices. The development of technology does not only help medical staff get the important
physiological information, but also simplifies the procedures and makes it more effective. For
patients in hospital, the basic and important physiological information is required, including ECG,
SpO2, RESP, IBP, CO2, TEMP, etc. In recent years, the development of science and technology
helping measure and get important physiological information of patients has made the patient
monitor more comprehensive in performance and better in quality. Today, multi-parameter
patient monitors are widely used.
