NC5 Vital Sign Monitor
Vital signs monitor with 3-lead ECG, NIBP, SpO2, pulse rate and temperature on an 8-inch screen, for spot checks or continuous monitoring.
NC5Overview
The NC5 is a vital signs monitor for wards, clinics and emergency triage that adds 3-lead ECG to blood pressure, SpO2, pulse rate and temperature. It works both as a quick spot-check device on rounds and as a continuous monitor for a patient who needs watching. SpO2 accepts three sensor technologies, and an infrared ear thermometer docks on the side.
The 8-inch colour screen (800 x 600) shows up to two waveforms, and a double alarm light is visible from all around the bed. The NC5 keeps 160 hours of graphic and tabular trends, 200 alarm events, 2,000 NIBP measurements and 48 hours of waveforms. It links to the Star8800 central station and to hospital systems over HL7, and two USB ports take a mouse, keyboard or printer. The battery runs for at least 8 hours in normal use, and the unit weighs 2.5 kg.
Medix East Africa supplies the NC5 Vital Sign Monitor with pre-installation site assessment, delivery, installation and commissioning by our own biomedical engineers, and acceptance testing before handover. Operator training is delivered to the staff who will use it day to day, and technical training is available for your biomedical department.
After handover we hold genuine spare parts for the equipment we supply, run preventive maintenance under annual contract, and respond to faults across Kenya and the wider East African region. Pricing is issued by formal quotation, because it depends on configuration, quantity, delivery terms and warranty.

Frequently asked questions
Medix East Africa issues pricing by formal quotation rather than publishing it online, because equipment price depends on configuration, quantity, delivery location and warranty terms. Email sales@medixafrica.com with the quantity you need, send a WhatsApp enquiry to 0113894809, or call +254 726 022122.
Yes. Medix biomedical engineers carry out site assessment before delivery, install and commission the equipment on site, run acceptance testing, and hand over with documentation. Installation is part of the supply for major equipment rather than a separate charge.
Yes. Operator training for the clinical staff who will use the equipment is delivered at handover, and technical training is available for your in-house biomedical department. Refresher training can be arranged when new staff join.
Yes. Medix holds genuine spare parts for the NC5 Vital Sign Monitor locally and provides preventive maintenance, corrective repairs and calibration support through its in-house biomedical engineering team. Annual maintenance contracts are available covering scheduled visits, priority response and agreed parts terms.
Lead time depends on whether the configuration is held in local stock or ordered from the manufacturer. Confirmed lead times are stated on every formal quotation, and delivery scheduling is agreed with your facility in advance so that installation can be planned around theatre or laboratory workload.
