Overview
The K12 Patient Monitor from Creative Medical is a portable, multi-parameter monitor designed to display key vital signs on a large color screen. It combines ECG, RESP, SpO2, PR, non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), and body temperature (TEMP) in a single unit.
Monitoring parameters
- ECG: monitors and records cardiac electrical activity.
- RESP: displays respiratory rate.
- SpO2: measures blood oxygen saturation via a dedicated sensor.
- PR: shows pulse rate.
- NIBP: measures non-invasive blood pressure using an appropriate cuff.
- TEMP: measures body temperature using a compatible probe.
Display
- 12.1-inch color LCD/TFT.
- High-resolution display with clear waveforms.
- Supports multi-waveform display.
- The product information indicates touchscreen capability; actual features may vary by configuration.
Design and portability
- Compact, lightweight construction.
- Top carry handle for easy transport.
Power and battery
- Internal battery for backup operation.
- Up to 3 hours of operation during a power outage, as stated in the product information.
- Actual runtime depends on battery condition, usage, and configuration.
Clinical use
Intended for multi-parameter monitoring in clinical environments. The product information notes suitability for intensive care units and operating rooms. It can also be used in hospital wards, emergency departments, and clinics where multiparameter monitoring is required. Monitoring can be continuous or periodic, depending on settings and clinical needs. Select probes, cuffs, and configurations according to the intended application.
Options and configurations
Available configurations may include optional functions such as EtCO2, IBP, and 12‑lead ECG, depending on the version. Verify the required configuration before procurement.
