ARGUS LCM/PLUS

2 Introduction

The ARGUS LCM/PLUS (

L

ow Weight and 

C

ompact 

M

onitor) is a flexible patient

monitoring device for the comprehensive monitoring of vital parameters in adults,
children and neonates.

Mains power supply (115/230 VAC) is used for stationary use. The LCM also pro-
vides full vital data monitoring during transport with the built in battery (one hour),
or using a DC voltage supply (11 - 30 VDC).

2.1 Version overview 

2.1.1

ARGUS LCM (basic) from serial number 781.000-781.999

The following table shows the equipment of the ARGUS LCM. This basic device can-
not be upgraded.

2.1.2

ARGUS LCM (basic) from serial number 781.1000 and higher

The ARGUS LCM BASIC with the microprocessor MK19-11 has a new ECG amplifier
(3p). It is now possible to to display 6 leads with a 3p-lead cable. The 3p-lead cable
is marked with a black connector housing instead of green.
This works only with software 1.24 and higher.
