EDAN iT20 Telemetry Transmitter

The EDAN iT20 is a pocket-sized, Wi-Fi-based telemetry transmitter designed to provide continuous, real-time monitoring of ECG and SpO₂ for mobile patients throughout all hospital departments—from cardiac divisions and intensive care units to emergency units and general wards. Working in seamless conjunction with EDAN‘s MFM-CMS Central Monitoring Station, the iT20 eliminates the constraints of traditional bedside monitoring, allowing patients to remain ambulatory while clinicians retain full visibility of their cardiac and respiratory status.

Weighing just 140g, the iT20 is worn comfortably on the patient and transmits data wirelessly via its built-in Wi-Fi module—requiring no additional network setup. The system supports up to 64 transmitters connecting to a single MFM-CMS station simultaneously, enabling comprehensive multi-patient surveillance across entire wards. The iT20 is FDA 510(k) cleared (K161056) and intended for monitoring ECG, SpO₂, and pulse rate in adult and pediatric patients within hospital clinical environments.

Key Features & Benefits

True Wireless Telemetry with Built-In Wi-Fi

The iT20 sets itself apart with its fully integrated Wi-Fi connectivity (IEEE 802.11b/g/n, 2.4 GHz ISM band), eliminating the need for external network infrastructure or proprietary receivers. Key wireless advantages include:

• No extra network setup – the transmitter connects directly to the MFM-CMS via its internal Wi-Fi module

• Up to 64 units can connect to a single MFM-CMS station simultaneously

• Real-time data transmission – continuous ECG, respiration rate, SpO₂, and pulse rate monitoring

• Bi-directional nurse call – both the patient and the nurse can initiate calls from the transmitter or the central station

• Remote pager functionality – nurses can call any mobile patient from the MFM-CMS, not just receive calls from them

Comprehensive Parameter Monitoring

The iT20 captures essential physiological parameters for continuous cardiac and respiratory assessment:

The iT20 features automatic ECG cable identification for 3/5-lead wires, automatically detecting IEC or AHA lead types and selecting the appropriate lead map without manual intervention.

Advanced Clinical Algorithms

The iT20 incorporates EDAN‘s proprietary algorithms for accurate, reliable measurements:

• iSEAP™ ECG algorithm – optimized for arrhythmia detection, pacemaker detection, ST-segment analysis, and HR measurement via 3/5-lead ECG

• iMAT™ SpO₂ algorithm – outstanding motion resistance and low perfusion resistance performance, ensuring dependable readings even during patient movement

Rugged IPX7 Waterproof Design

The iT20 is built to withstand the demands of daily clinical use:

• IPX7 waterproof rating – the transmitter can prevent unexpected damage from water and withstand cleaning and sterilization procedures

• Durable construction – designed for continuous wear by ambulatory patients

• Lightweight 140g design – comfortable for extended monitoring sessions

Extended Battery Life with Hot-Swap Capability

The iT20 delivers exceptional battery performance for uninterrupted monitoring:

• Up to 100 hours of operation on AA batteries

• 20-second hot-swap power backup – when changing batteries, the device automatically switches to backup power within 20 seconds without shutting down, ensuring continuous monitoring

Multi-Display Modes for Flexible Viewing

The iT20 features a 1.46-inch color display (128×128 resolution) with multiple display modes to suit different clinical needs:

Seamless Integration with MFM-CMS Central Monitoring

The iT20 works exclusively with EDAN‘s MFM-CMS Central Monitoring Station, which provides:

• Multi-patient monitoring – simultaneous surveillance of up to 64 iT20 transmitters

• Comprehensive data storage – 240 hours of trend data and 720 alarm events per patient

• Medical record management – centralized review of patient history and events

• Web access – caregivers can log in to the system from anywhere, anytime

Comprehensive Safety & Alarm Management

• Arrhythmia detection – supports clinical decision-making through real-time monitoring and alarm management

• Timely intervention – enables rapid response for patients with altered cardiac function or oxygenation status

• Bi-directional communication – both patient-initiated and nurse-initiated calls supported
