Description

The M 5220 is a bedside monitor with a microprocessor, processing 16 parameters, made in the microproduction workshop of the ICE research institute in Bucharest, where it was designed [1].

Together with the Ministry of Health, ICE drew up a national medical equipment programme; the prototypes of its medical electronics laboratory went into production at IEIA Cluj-Napoca (19 types), IEMI (3), IEI (2) and in ICE’s microproduction workshop (19) [1]. As demand grew, production of some of them was taken over by IEI [1].

IEI later took over its production from ICE [2].

Its prospectus describes a monitor for coronary care units, for ECG, respiration, invasive systolic and diastolic pressure and temperature at four points; a ‘slave’ microprocessor processes up to 16 parameters (10-bit words, 400 samples/s) from an isolated input section, and a ‘master’ microprocessor drives three simultaneous traces on the screen, the keyboard, the alarms and an RS-232C or TV output to a computer [3].
