EDAN Patient Monitor XM5-1 Plug-in Module

The EDAN XM5-1 Plug-in Module is the parameter acquisition engine for EDAN’s iV Series modular patient monitors—the module that activates baseline physiological monitoring when docked into an iV12, iV15, or iV17 host monitor. Without an XM module, the iV Series host units do not measure any basic parameters; the XM5-1 supplies the core measurement front-end for ECG, RESP, EDAN SpO₂, EDAN NIBP, PR, and temperature in a single plug-and-play unit.

The module is designed around the same hot-swappable architecture as the rest of the iV Series module ecosystem: it can be plugged in or removed during monitoring without powering down the host monitor, allowing departments to reconfigure a single iV host between different clinical roles—general ward monitoring, transport, or higher-acuity bedside use—by changing the attached module set. The XM5-1 is the baseline module in that ecosystem; additional standalone modules (IBP, cardiac output, CO₂, anesthetic gas, BIS, NMT, rSO₂, and others) are added alongside it to extend parameter depth.

Standard parameters supported through the XM5-1 include 5-lead ECG with defibrillation protection, RESP, EDAN SpO₂ with a reusable adult finger sensor, EDAN NIBP with a reusable adult cuff and 3 m tube, and a 2-pin adult skin temperature probe. The module also supports optional 12-lead ECG and Nellcor SpO₂ configurations, allowing the same physical module to serve departments with different cardiac or oximetry preferences.

The XM5-1 is built for facilities that have standardized on the iV Series platform and need a baseline parameter module that can move between host monitors, be swapped during service, or be added to a new iV host without replacing the entire monitoring system. It shares the iV Series’ no-fan host design and central station connectivity through the host monitor, and is intended for use by trained clinical personnel in hospital environments. Availability and cleared indications vary by market; confirm local registration before purchase.

Key Features & Benefits

Baseline Parameter Activation for iV Series Hosts

The XM5-1 is the required module for basic parameter monitoring on EDAN iV Series host monitors. It integrates the measurement front-end for ECG, RESP, EDAN SpO₂, EDAN NIBP, PR, and temperature into a single plug-in unit, converting an iV host into a functioning multi-parameter bedside or transport monitor. This architecture allows a facility to purchase iV host monitors once and scale parameter capability through modules rather than replacing entire monitors.

Hot-Swappable Plug-and-Play Design

The module can be plugged in or unplugged during active monitoring without powering down the host monitor. A lever mechanism secures the module in the slot, and an indicator confirms when the module is seated and recognized. This supports rapid reconfiguration between patients or clinical areas and allows a module to be swapped for service without removing the host monitor from the bedside.

Standard Vital-Signs Parameter Set

The XM5-1 ships with a complete baseline accessory set: 5-lead snap ECG cable (IEC, defibrillation-proof) , reusable adult SpO₂ finger sensor, reusable adult NIBP cuff (27–35 cm) with 3 m tube, and a 2-pin adult skin temperature probe. This means the module arrives ready for adult vital-signs monitoring without requiring separate accessory purchases for basic use.

Optional 12-Lead ECG and Nellcor SpO₂ Configuration

The XM5-1 supports optional 12-lead ECG with a 10-lead trunk cable and limb wires, enabling expanded cardiac evaluation when the clinical need arises. A Nellcor SpO₂ option is also available, allowing departments that have standardized on Nellcor sensors to use the iV Series platform without changing oximetry consumables.

Expandable Within the iV Module Ecosystem

The XM5-1 is the foundation module in the iV Series module rack. Additional standalone modules—IBP, IBP + cardiac output, ICG, sidestream or mainstream CO₂, respiratory mechanics, anesthetic gas, BIS, NMT, rSO₂, EEG, and V-Link—can be added to the host monitor to extend monitoring depth as clinical requirements change. The XM5-1 supplies the baseline parameters while these modules add specialized measurements.

Shared Algorithms and Accessories with EDAN Monitoring Platforms

The XM5-1 uses EDAN’s monitoring algorithms and accessory ecosystem, including iSEAP™ ECG processing, EDAN SpO₂, and EDAN NIBP. ECG cables and SpO₂ sensors are shared with other EDAN monitor families where compatible, supporting inventory standardization across departments.

Modular Serviceability and Inventory Flexibility

Because the XM5-1 is a separate module, service or replacement can be handled at the module level rather than requiring the host monitor to be taken out of service. Facilities can also hold spare XM5-1 modules on hand to maintain monitoring uptime if a module requires attention, while the iV host remains available for use with a replacement module.
