3 Introduction to the
Tempus Pro
The Tempus Pro is a multi-parameter vital signs monitor designed for use in pre-hospital and remote
locations. It provides the user with conventional patient monitoring parameters for use in measuring and
monitoring patient’s vital signs.
The device also provides the user with the ability to capture patient incident data in electronic format. This
data can be passed from one Tempus to another to enable the patient’s record to remain with them as they
move from one caregiver to another.
In addition, the device also gives the user the ability to transmit all data in real-time to a Response Centre
using a variety of integrated communications interfaces. If data is being transmitted, the device also allows
the user to transmit still or moving pictures via an integrated digital camera and also to speak to the
Response Centre using a wired or wireless headset.
The Tempus Pro is intended to be used by trained clinical staff.
The Tempus Pro can provide the following information about the patient from its sensors:
 ECG Monitoring;
 Real-time arrhythmia detection and alarming;
 Real-time ST and QT measurement and alarming;
 12 Lead Diagnostic ECG Recording;
 12 lead ECG recording interpretation;
 Impedance pneumography (respiration rate measured through ECG leads);
 Heart rate (from ECG) or pulse rate (from pulse oximetry);
 Non-invasive blood pressure;
 End tidal CO2 (ETCO2);
 Respiration rate;
 Pulse Oximetry including Oxygen saturation (SpO2) pulse oximetry (SpO2), Total Haemoglobin
(SpHb), Methaemoglobin saturation (SpMet), Carboxyhaemoglobin (SpCO), Oxygen Content (SpOC),
Pleth Variability Index (PVI);
 Temperature;
 Invasive pressure.
Tempus Pro is also able to display ultrasound and video laryngoscopy images on its large colour display
utilising third party ultrasound probes and video laryngoscopy accessories. For more information, please
refer to Tempus Pro Ultrasound Supplement Guide (Part number 42-2003) and Tempus Pro Laryngoscope
Supplement Manual (Part number 42-2004).
To display anaesthetic agent gas vital signs on the Tempus Pro, you can use the Masimo ISA OR+
Anaesthetic Gas module (available from RDT). For more information, see the Tempus Pro AA Gas
Supplement Guide.
