THE CHALLENGE

Our medical technology company customers were looking for a specialized printer for their monitors that could deliver real-time printouts of essential patient information, such as ECG tracings, respiratory waveforms, and alarm events. This printer needed to offer portability, high performance, and reliability, ensuring clinicians have immediate access to accurate documentation during emergencies and routine care.

THE SOLUTION

APS developed the GPR212, a custom thermal printer designed to integrate seamlessly with patient monitors. This printer provides real-time, high-quality printouts of critical patient data such as ECG tracings and respiratory waveforms.

The GPR212 is portable, allowing clinicians to print on-demand at the patient’s bedside or from a central station monitor. Its precision and reliability ensure that medical staff can quickly access clear, durable documentation, supporting immediate clinical decisions and maintaining compliance with healthcare regulations.

THE RESULT

Through this collaboration, APS delivered a high-performance, custom solution that seamlessly integrates with the most advanced patient monitors. The GPR212 printer provides real-time, high-quality printouts of critical patient data, enhancing documentation accuracy, regulatory compliance, and overall patient care.
The ability to print on-demand at the point of care helps clinicians make faster, informed decisions while maintaining a reliable record of patient vitals, supporting both clinical and operational excellence in modern healthcare settings.
