About the Philips SureSigns VM1 Vital Signs Monitor
The VM1 handles continuous vital signs monitoring across your entire patient population without requiring separate monitors for adults, pediatrics, and neonates. You’ll get SpO2, NIBP, temperature, and pulse rate in one portable unit that works from the NICU to the ICU.
The integrated barcode scanner speeds up patient ID entry, while HL7 output over Ethernet feeds data directly into your EMR system. Worth noting: the optional Microstream CO2 capability means you can add capnography without switching to a different monitor entirely.
At 6 hours of battery life with continuous SpO2, it’ll handle extended transports or areas without convenient power access. The color-coded display and sturdy handle make it practical for staff who move between units frequently.
