Heart Rate, Apnea and Oxygen Saturation Monitor – VitaGuard® VG 3100
The VitaGuard® VG 3100 from Getemed is a medical monitoring device designed to meet the requirements of healthcare professionals and carers, both in hospitals and in home care. This compact and lightweight monitor (approx. 700 g) combines the monitoring of three essential physiological parameters: oxygen saturation (SpO₂), heart rate and respiration. It is suitable for all age groups, from newborns to adults, ensuring maximum versatility.
The VG 3100 uses Masimo Signal Extraction Technology (SET®), recognised for its accuracy in measuring oxygen saturation, even in the presence of movement or low perfusion. In the event of central apnoea (absence of breathing or movement for a predefined period of time), or when SpO₂ or heart rate values exceed the configured thresholds, the monitor triggers visual and audible alarms. It also issues technical alerts in the event of disconnection of the electrodes or the SpO₂ sensor.
One of the major advantages of the VG 3100 is its storage capacity. It can record more than 400 physiological events, with measured values, associated waveforms and monitor parameters before and after each event. It also offers a 144-hour trend memory and a 16-hour full disclosure loop memory, enabling continuous monitoring. Silent thresholds can be set to discreetly record certain events, such as a drop in SpO₂ below 92%.
The user interface is designed to be intuitive, with a high-resolution graphic LCD screen and five LED indicators. Six push buttons allow for easy navigation, even for users without medical training. The monitor can be powered by mains, rechargeable battery or disposable batteries, offering a minimum operating time of 8 hours.
Recorded data can be viewed directly on the screen or transferred to a computer via the USB port using VitaWin® software. The software allows detailed analysis of events, trends and complete records, facilitating documentation and therapeutic follow-up.
The VitaGuard® VG 3100 complies with MDD 93/42/EEC (class IIb) and has IP21 protection against ingress. It is compatible with a full range of accessories, and additional options are available to meet specific user requirements.
