Source summary
The challenge asks for an indigenous multiparameter patient monitor and accessories safe for 0.5 to 3 tesla MRI environments, where ordinary hospital equipment can become hazardous. It should monitor oxygen saturation, heart rate, non-invasive blood pressure, respiratory rate, respiratory gases and end-tidal carbon dioxide for adults, children and neonates during imaging or anaesthesia, with MRI-safe sensors, alarms, battery power and a remote slave display. The source requires safety compliance and certification, and notes that imported systems costing roughly ₹40 to ₹50 lakh constrain procurement.
