A new spot-check vital signs device provides accurate and reliable automated measurements of blood pressure (BP), temperature, and pulse oximetry (SpO2).

The SunTech CT40 is a modular, affordable solution for clinical grade spot-checks measurement of blood pressure (BP) and other vital signs in hospitals and clinics. The modular design allows clinicians to easily make adaptations to the device, enabling them to add thermometry, blood SpO2, and Wi-Fi while in the field, based solely on patient needs. Another feature of the CT40 is customizable BP averaging, a key component to accurate blood pressure measurement, which automatically takes and averages multiple BP measurements base on an individual averaging protocol.

The device also allows users to verify automated readings using a stethoscope without removing the cuff, for consistent patient BP measurements. Network connection is via built-in ethernet or optional Wi-Fi, and uses standard profiles to facilitate communication of patient and measurement data with the electronic medical record (EMR) system. A barcode reader is also available for easy data entry, as well as a thermal printer for hard copies of vital signs measurements. The built-in memory can store up to 99 vital signs charting sessions.

Optional accessories include touchless infrared (IR) thermometry, the Covidien (Dublin, Ireland) Filac 3000 thermometry module, the Masimo (Irvine, CA, USA) SET SpO2 module, and the Corscience (Erlangen, Germany) ChipOx Nellcor-compatible SpO2 module. A robust mobile stand is also available to facilitate room-to-room relocation. The SunTech CT40 is a product of SunTech Medical (Morrisville, NC, USA), and has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
