main desk of a patient's
vitals and statistics, while

monitored while they are
mobile during the con-
valescence period.

smitted to the central
monitor and an elec-
trocardiogram can be
transcribed on a non -fade
scope. The monitor is able to
provide 12 lead elec-
trocardiograms as well as 12
views of the heart. A
patient's temperature and
respiratory condition can
also be monitored by the
unit.
