Vital Signs Monitoring

Life Systems’ Rosie® II Vital Signs Monitoring System captures Sp02, E-Temp, blood pressure, and pulse rate in 45 seconds. Smart Inflation™ increases patient comfort by monitoring blood pressure during inflation and stopping when necessary. It customizes itself to each individual’s requirements. The patented NIBP with Dynamic Linear Cuff Deflation technology deflates smoothly, is controlled by the pulse rate, and measures pressure at every pulse all the way down.

Patient records are transferred to a PC or clinical software through an RS-232 cable port. Secured to a locking wheel base, the Rosie II provides mobility and ease of use with a 6-hour battery life. The system is available with an optional bar code scanner.
