Patient monitoring is a huge part of your clinic and we understand that purchasing a new patient monitor can be a daunting task. Each brand may offer different features but as the end-user, you want something that you are comfortable with. We understand that you may have more questions than answers. Let us help by establishing the most important questions you should ask before purchasing a new patient monitor:

  • Where will you use it?
  • How easy it is to use?
  • Is it made by a proven and reliable manufacturer?
  • What/how long is the warranty?
  • Training materials?
  • Are the accessories cross-compatible with other monitors in the same line?
  • What software/apps does it use?
  • What parameters might benefit the practice?
  • Do I need capnography?
