## Indications for Use

The Wireless Vital Signs Monitor (WVSM) is intended to be used as an adult patient monitor. It is indicated as a single or multi-parameter vital signs monitor for ECG, noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) and SpO2. It may be used in the following locations: Hospitals, healthcare facilities, emergency medical applications, during transport, and other healthcare applications. The monitor uses wireless communications to transmit vital signs data to a handheld or PC computer. The monitor is intended to be used by trained healthcare providers.

## Device Story

WVSM is a small, lightweight, rugged, portable patient monitor; measures ECG, NIBP, and SpO2. Device displays vital signs locally; transmits data via WiFi 802.11b/g to handheld devices or PCs. Used by trained healthcare providers in hospitals, clinics, emergency settings, and transport. Provides real-time physiological data to clinicians; facilitates patient monitoring and clinical decision-making during care or transport; improves portability of vital signs monitoring.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Compliance with recognized national and international standards for safety and performance verified.

## Technological Characteristics

Small, lightweight, rugged portable monitor. Measures ECG, NIBP, SpO2. Connectivity via WiFi 802.11b/g to PC or PDA. Class II device.

## Regulatory Identification

A cardiac monitor (including cardiotachometer and rate alarm) is a device used to measure the heart rate from an analog signal produced by an electrocardiograph, vectorcardiograph, or blood pressure monitor. This device may sound an alarm when the heart rate falls outside preset upper and lower limits.
