## Indications for Use

The Monitoring System ARGUS LCM is for the monitoring of vital parameters such as: - ECG: Heartrate, Respiration Rate . - Invasive Blood Pressure: systolic, diastolic and mean pressure - - Temperature: temperature - - Non Invasive Blood Pressure: systolic, diastolic and mean pressure - - CO2, etCO2 and CO2ins and respiration rate. - - SpO2: SpO2 and pulse rate - There is alarm handling for all parameters except temperature. The ARGUS LCM is powered via the normal mains connection 230V/110V, and using an internal battery and an external power input. The system is inteded for use in the Intensive Care Unit, in the Recovery Room, in the Operation Room and during hospital internal transport.

## Device Story

Argus LCM is a multi-parameter patient monitoring system; inputs include ECG leads, invasive blood pressure transducers, temperature probes, NIBP cuffs, CO2 sensors, and SpO2 sensors. Device processes physiological signals to display real-time vital signs and provide alarm handling for all parameters except temperature. Used in ICU, recovery, OR, and during hospital transport; operated by clinicians. Output provides continuous monitoring data to assist healthcare providers in clinical decision-making and patient status assessment. Powered by mains, internal battery, or external input.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Device compliance verified against recognized national and international performance, safety, and electromagnetic compatibility standards (IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-2-27, 60601-2-30, 60601-2-34, 60601-2-49, EN 865).
