Patient Monitor Price in India 2026: Contec CMS 8000 vs CMS 5100
Choosing a patient monitor is one of the most important buying decisions for a hospital ward, ICU, nursing home or even home ICU care. In this guide we compare the two Contec patient monitors available at CardiTabs — the Contec CMS 8000 and the Contec CMS 5100 — and explain the patient monitor price in India, features, and which one suits your needs.
What does a patient monitor do?
A patient monitor (also called a multipara or bedside monitor) continuously measures a patient’s vital signs and shows them on one screen. It raises an alarm when a reading goes outside the safe range, so doctors and nurses can act quickly. Common parameters are:
- ECG – heart rhythm
- SpO2 – blood oxygen level
- NIBP – non-invasive blood pressure
- PR – pulse rate
- RESP – respiration rate
- TEMP – body temperature

Which patient monitor should you buy?
- Choose the CMS 8000 if you need ECG and respiration monitoring along with SpO2, BP and temperature — for example an ICU bed, a critical-care ward or a home ICU set up on a doctor’s advice.
- Choose the CMS 5100 if you mainly need quick checks of BP, oxygen, pulse and temperature, want something portable that runs on battery, or have a smaller budget.
Always follow your doctor’s advice on which parameters need to be monitored for a patient.
