The Northern Meditec Taurus E is a compact vital signs monitor, supplied here on a mobile stand so it can be wheeled between rooms and used at the bedside or in a treatment room rather than living on one bench.
The colour display shows waveforms and numeric parameters together, so a nurse can read the trace and the figures at a glance. Depending on the configuration ordered, the monitor covers non invasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry, pulse rate, temperature, ECG and respiration, which lets a service buy only the parameters it uses.
Readings are held on the monitor for review, with trend storage and a log of blood pressure readings and alarm events, so a clinician can look back over a shift rather than relying on what was written down. Network and USB interfaces allow data to be exported or fed into other systems. Physiological and technical alarms can be set at multiple levels with a configurable delay, which cuts down nuisance alarms on a busy ward. An integrated recorder is available as an option.
