Cardiac Monitor

Walk into any ICU, emergency ward, operating theatre, or CCU in Pakistan and one thing is always running — a cardiac monitor. Whether it’s keeping track of a patient coming out of surgery, a critical case in the ICU, or a stable patient on the general ward who needs overnight observation, these machines are the backbone of bedside patient monitoring.

At Medical Supplies PK, we carry 11 cardiac and patient monitors covering the full range of clinical needs — from basic 5-parameter bedside monitors at Rs. 70,000 all the way up to hospital-grade Korean and German systems at Rs. 650,000. Brands include Bistos Korea, Contec Medical China, Medical Econet Germany, UpMed, Yonker Medical, and Hawatime. All are genuine, in-stock, and available for delivery across Pakistan.

Competitor Research Note

Other compititors lists a handful of patient monitors but their category has no buying guidance, no comparison tables, no clinical context, and no explanation of what differentiates one model from another. If you’ve ever browsed their listing and come away confused about which monitor fits your ward setup — that’s why. This page exists to fill that gap properly.

What Is a Cardiac Monitor?

A cardiac monitor — also called a patient monitor or bedside monitor — is a device that continuously tracks a patient’s vital signs and displays them in real time on a screen. The standard parameters measured on most monitors sold in Pakistan include:

• ECG (electrocardiogram — continuous heart rhythm tracing)
• SpO₂ (blood oxygen saturation via pulse oximetry)
• NIBP (non-invasive blood pressure — automatic cuff readings)
• RESP (respiratory rate — chest impedance method)
• TEMP (body temperature — probe-based)
• PR (pulse rate — derived from SpO₂ waveform)

Higher-end models also support IBP (invasive blood pressure via arterial line), ETCO₂ (end-tidal CO₂ for intubated patients), Cardiac Output (C.O.), and Multi-gas monitoring for anaesthesia.

Cardiac monitors are used in OT, ICU, CCU, emergency departments, recovery rooms, and general wards. The word “cardiac” in the name doesn’t mean they’re only for heart patients — they’re used for monitoring any patient who needs continuous vital sign tracking.

Detailed Product Breakdown

1. UpMed CM 400 Portable Patient Monitor — Rs. 70,000

The CM 400 is the most affordable full-featured patient monitor we stock, and for general ward use or a small clinic setup, it does the job well. The 12.1-inch touch screen is bright and clear, it runs on a built-in lithium battery for around 2 hours, and it supports both wired and wireless network connectivity for central station integration.

It covers all standard parameters — ECG, SpO₂, NIBP, RESP, and TEMP — and the storage is generous: 400 groups of NIBP records, 6,000 seconds of ECG waveform recall, and a 7-day trend chart. The 3-level alarm system (audio + visual) handles boundary alerts for all parameters. Worth noting: IBP and CO₂ are not included in the standard price.

2. Yonker YK 8000CS Cardiac Monitor — Rs. 75,000

The YK 8000CS from Yonker Medical is specifically built as a bedside hospital monitor for multi-department use — it’s rated for adult, paediatric, neonatal, surgical, medicine, OT, ICU, and CCU applications all in one device. The 12.1-inch TFT screen handles 5 standard parameters and the English interface makes it straightforward for any hospital staff.

For smaller private hospitals or clinics that need a reliable monitor across different patient types without spending a fortune, this is a sensible pick. Compact, practical, and covers the core parameters reliably.

3. Yonker YK 8000B Patient Monitor — Rs. 80,000

The YK 8000B is the touch-screen version in the Yonker 8000 series. Same core parameters as the YK 8000CS, but the high-resolution color touch LCD makes navigation easier for staff who prefer not to use physical buttons. Built-in lithium battery gives 2 hours of backup.

4. Hawatime H8 Cardiac Monitor — Rs. 95,000

The H8 from Hawatime distinguishes itself with an 8-channel simultaneous waveform display — most basic monitors show 3 to 4 waveforms at a time, so the H8 gives a significantly richer picture on screen. High resolution (800×600) on its 12.1-inch TFT display, 2-hour lithium battery, and it supports both wired and wireless central monitoring connection.

Good for a medium-level ward or clinic where clinicians want more waveform data visible at once without moving to a premium-priced monitor.

5. UpMed CM-15 Patient Monitor — Rs. 105,000

This is the large-screen option in the UpMed range — a 15.6-inch display that makes reading values easy from a distance, which is particularly useful in busy wards or for visually demanding environments. It has three working modes (Monitoring, Surgery, Diagnosis) and multiple interface layouts to suit different clinical scenarios.

The technical specs are solid for this price range: ECG with 7-lead display, NIBP with adult/paediatric/neonatal ranges, SpO₂ with good accuracy specs (±2% from 70–100%), and temperature accurate to 0.1°C. The 3-hour battery is better than most in this price bracket, and VGA output lets you connect an external display if needed.

6. Contec CMS 7000 Patient Monitor — Rs. 135,000

The CMS 7000 from Contec Medical is a feature-rich multi-parameter monitor that punches well above its price point. The 8-channel waveform display and 7-lead ECG display on a single screen make it stand out for cardiac monitoring specifically. It also includes Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis — not typically found at this price.

Connectivity is a strong point: it supports 3G, Wi-Fi, and wired modes for connecting to a central monitoring station, which makes it suitable for networked ward setups. The fanless design reduces cross-infection risk. NIBP stores up to 4,800 groups of readings. Drug concentration calculation and titration table functions are an unusual addition that anaesthesiologists will find useful.

7. Contec ABPM50 Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor — Rs. 150,000

This one is different from the rest of the category — it’s a portable ambulatory monitor designed for 24-hour continuous NIBP and SpO₂ monitoring outside a hospital bed. Patients wear it during daily activities and sleep, and the recorded data is transferred via USB to PC software for full analysis — trend graphs, histograms, NIBP reports, and more.

It’s used for diagnosing white-coat hypertension, masked hypertension, nocturnal BP patterns, and suspected arrhythmia that doesn’t show on a clinic-based reading. Up to 1,000 patient cases can be stored and managed through the PC software.

8. Contec CMS 8000 Cardiac Monitor — Rs. 175,000

The CMS 8000 is Contec’s dedicated cardiac monitor — as opposed to the general-purpose patient monitors. The key differentiator is the dual-channel temperature measurement (T1, T2, and temperature difference TD), which is useful in post-operative monitoring where core vs. peripheral temperature comparison matters. The full arrhythmia and ST-segment analysis make it a natural fit for CCU and cardiac ward use.

Optional IBP and ETCO₂ can be added on request — note that the listed price is for standard parameters only.

9. Bistos BT 770 Cardiac Monitor — Rs. 475,000

The Bistos BT 770 is where you move from competent monitors into genuinely premium territory. Bistos is a Korean brand with strong clinical credibility, and the BT 770 is one of the most capable monitors we carry. The 5+ hour battery life is exceptional — most monitors manage 2 to 3 hours, so having more than 5 hours of continuous monitoring on battery is a meaningful advantage for ambulance use and patient transport. The 12-15V DC wide-range input makes it suitable for ambulance power systems.

The 16-type arrhythmia analysis with ST-segment monitoring, pacemaker detection, intelligent NIBP cuff inflation pressure adjustment, and double overpressure protection put this in a different league from budget monitors. It’s expandable with optional CO₂, IBP, invasive cardiac output, and multi-gas modules — and supports HL7 export to clinical information systems.

10. Medical Econet PROVIEW 12 Cardiac Monitor — Rs. 525,000

The PROVIEW 12 from Medical Econet Germany brings European engineering to the lineup. It’s the only German-made monitor we carry, and the design philosophy shows — 27 types of arrhythmia analysis (significantly more than the 16 on the Bistos BT 770), Early Warning Scores (EWS) built in, automatic ECG lead switching, and up to 72 hours of full disclosure waveform storage. The auto-adjusting backlight brightness and comfortable viewing angle are small practical touches that make a real difference during long shifts.

It connects to a central monitoring station for up to 66 monitors simultaneously. Optional IBP, cardiac output measurement, and ETCO₂ can be added. The included thermal array recorder handles printed reports on-demand.

11. Bistos BT 780 Cardiac Monitor — Rs. 650,000

The BT 780 is the top-of-range model we carry and Bistos’s flagship bedside cardiac monitor. Everything in the BT 770 but with a 15.6-inch color TFT touch screen — the largest display in our entire cardiac monitor range. When you have multiple clinical staff monitoring patients and need waveforms visible clearly from a distance, the larger screen matters in a real working environment.

Optional modules include CO₂, IBP, Multi-gas, Cardiac Output, a printer, HL7 support, and Masimo SpO₂ — making it fully expandable for high-acuity ICU or CCU environments where multiple parameters need to run simultaneously.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a cardiac monitor and a patient monitor? In everyday clinical use, the terms are used interchangeably for bedside monitoring devices. Technically, “cardiac monitor” refers to a device primarily tracking ECG and heart rhythm, while “patient monitor” (or multi-parameter monitor) tracks a wider set of vitals simultaneously. In our category, all the devices monitor multiple parameters including ECG — so the distinction is mostly semantic.

Which brands of cardiac monitors are available in Pakistan? We carry Bistos (Korea), Contec Medical (China), Medical Econet (Germany), UpMed (China), Yonker Medical, and Hawatime. Bistos and Medical Econet are the premium options. Contec Medical has the best balance of features and value in the mid-range. UpMed and Yonker are good budget-friendly choices for smaller setups.

What is the minimum price of a cardiac monitor in Pakistan? From our current stock, the entry price is Rs. 70,000 for the UpMed CM 400. Prices go up to Rs. 650,000 for the Bistos BT 780. The right choice depends entirely on your clinical requirements.

Can these monitors be connected to a central monitoring station? Most models in our range support central station connectivity. The Contec CMS 7000 offers the most flexible connectivity (3G, Wi-Fi, wired). The Bistos BT 770 and BT 780 support central station connection. The PROVIEW 12 supports up to 66 monitors per central station. Contact us to discuss central station setup requirements.
