A patient monitor is a medical device that is used to monitor the health of a patient. It can be used to track vital signs such as heart rate, breathing, and more. Patient monitors can also be used to provide real-time updates on the patient’s health status. They are used in hospitals for a variety of purposes including diagnostics, treatment and patient care.

What is the difference between a pulse oximeter and a patient monitor?
A pulse oximeter is a non-invasive device that measures the oxygen saturation in your blood. It is usually clipped onto your finger and can be used at home or in a clinical setting. A patient monitor is a device that tracks vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. It can also measure oxygen saturation levels using a pulse oximeter or SPO2 probe.
How do I use a patient monitor?
Patient monitors are used to track vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate. They are usually used in hospitals and other clinical settings. The capabilities of patient monitors vary, but they always function by gathering information from sensors positioned on or near the body. The information from this data is then processed and analyzed to show caregivers crucial details about the patient’s status. This data is also kept in the patient monitor device’s internal memory.
What is the cost of a patient monitor?
The cost of patient monitors is directly related to the specification and features of the machine. It also depends on the brand you want to buy. Normally, the price range of patient monitoring systems in India is INR15k to INR 9 lacks.
