Auburn Hills-based CJPS Medical Systems announced Tuesday that it is releasing the smallest, most featured, lowest cost, portable multi-parameter vital signs monitor on the market. In this environment of cost cutting and flexibility, and when maintaining the highest level of care is absolutely critical, the timing of the release of VitalPoint PRO, at half the price of its closest competitors, could not be more fitting.

The VitalPoint PRO uses the same technology as its sibling, the VitalPoint home remote patient monitor (www.H2Oconnectivity.com), and measures approximately 11-by-seven-by-two inches with a total weight of only 4.5 pounds. This clinical version of VitalPoint is truly portable and, with its five-hour battery life, can stay with patients as they move through healthcare facilities, can be used at clinics and surgical centers, as well as by visiting nurses and physicians or in emergency vehicles.

In spite of this small size and weight, VitalPoint PRO is able to monitor arrhythmia, to measure blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, respiration rate, heart rate, and temperature, and to provide electrocardiogram data. It even displays any 4 of 6 simultaneous waveforms, and features Ethernet connectivity.
