Getemed VitaGuard VG 3100 Repair

The Getemed VitaGuard VG 3100 is a heart rate, apnea, and respiration monitor made by Getemed. Getemed Medizin is a producer of medical devices in the following categories: cardiac function diagnostics, ambulatory patient monitoring, and telemonitoring.

The VG 3100 features manual storage for physiological signals, which increases the application spectrum of the monitor. A high-resolution graphical LCD display shows various measured parameters, status messages, waveforms, and alarm settings. When measured parameters move above or below the preset limits, the monitor produces an audible and visual alarm. When an alarm occurs, the monitor stores the physiological parameters and waveforms. The VG 3100 uses Masimo Signal Extraction Technology to measure the patient’s pulse rate and oxygen saturation. This model does not detect obstructive apnea but does produce an alarm when no movement or respiration is detected for a set time.

The VG 3100 monitor can be powered by either four 1.5-Volt alkaline batteries or with an external 9-Volt power adapter. With fully charged batteries, the monitor can operate for up to 24 hours.

The name “VitaGuard VG 3100” is printed in blue font in the upper right-hand corner of the device’s front face. The manufacturer’s name, “Getemed'' is printed vertically in light blue lowercase font on the left-hand side of the device's front face. Four arrow buttons are located on the right-hand side of the device’s display.
