Background and Identification<\/h2><\/div>\n\n

In medicine, monitoring is used for observing diseases, conditions, or other medical parameters over time. Monitoring can be performed by continuously measuring specific parameters using a medical monitor. For example, vital signs can be continuously measured with a bedside monitor. Monitoring can also be performed by repeatedly performing medical tests, though this method often requires more time and effort by medical personnel.<\/p>\n\n

A medical monitor or physiological monitor is a medical device used for monitoring medical patients. A medical monitor can include one or more sensors, display devices (sometimes referred to as \u201cmonitors\u201d), processing components, and communication links for recording or displaying results from the sensors through a monitoring network. Sensors of medical monitors include mechanical sensors and biosensors. The translating component of medical monitors converts the signals from the sensors to a format that can be displayed or transferred to an external display or recording device. Data is often displayed continuously on a screen as data channels along a time axis. Numerical readouts of computed parameters such as average, maximum, and minimum may accompany the original data. Medical monitors can also include a function to sound an alarm to alert medical staff when certain criteria are set.<\/p>\n\n

GE patient monitors generally include the GE logo in the center of the display monitor\u2019s top bezel. The GE logo includes the letters \u201cGE\u201d in lowercase cursive font inside of a circle.<\/p>\n\n
