Indications for Use
The 7271-500 module monitors ECG and Respiration, and the results are displayed on a Kolormon host system. The ECG and respiration are measured from a 3 lead system providing an ECG waveform and heart rate from one of three selectable ECG vectors as well as a respiration waveform and respiration rate. Respiration is also measured from the active ECG electrode pair. There are two AC coupled sources of power to the front end to power the ECG and respiration circuits. Current is injected into the patient through the ECG electrodes to detect when a lead falls off the patient and through the respiration electrodes to determine the thoracic impedance across the chest to which the respiration cycle correlates. Measurement of the ECG waveform is by potential difference between two of three possible electrodes. The electrode pair is user selected. The module may be used on either adults or neonates by selecting the adult/neonate option link in the module. The Kolormon system is a generic patient monitor used in the operating theatre, critical care unit or as a bedside monitor on the ward. Its purpose is to measure and display clinical parameters of a patient via the module and module housing. The basic system comprises a host monitor and its module housing. Modules, capable of measuring one or more clinical parameters of a patient to which they are connected, may be inserted into the module housing from which the clinical parameters for that module will be monitored. The generic nature of the system comes from the ability to select clinical parameters for monitoring by insertion of the appropriate modules. The host has a colour screen which displays up to 6 waveforms, numeric values of the clinical parameters monitored (termed derived parameters), trends of clinical parameters, messages (information/cautions and warnings) and labels for keys used to select functions of the modules. There are a set of keys which control the basic functions of the monitor and a strip of six trikeys used to select module functions. Sets of key labels are presented at the bottom of the screen defined by the module whose keys have been selected for display and the previous key selections for that module.
Device Story
The 7271-500 module is a plug-in component for the Kolormon patient monitoring system. It utilizes a 3-lead electrode system to capture ECG waveforms and heart rate, and thoracic impedance to derive respiration waveforms and rates. The device injects current through electrodes to detect lead-off conditions and measure chest impedance. The module processes these signals and transmits them to the Kolormon host monitor for display on a color screen. Used in ORs, ICUs, and wards, the system is operated by clinicians to monitor patient vitals. The host displays up to 6 waveforms, numeric values, and trends, providing real-time clinical data to assist in patient assessment and decision-making. The modular design allows for flexible parameter selection based on patient needs.

Identification
An electrocardiograph is a device used to process the electrical signal transmitted through two or more electrocardiograph electrodes and to produce a visual display of the electrical signal produced by the heart.
