Philips introduces mobile patient monitors for hospital and field use
2 November 2007 Royal Philips Electronics
(NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHI) has launched the IntelliVue MMS X2 and IntelliVue MP2
patient monitors designed to help clinicians and first responders
better focus on treating patients, whether moving around the hospital or
responding to an emergency in the field.
The IntelliVue MMS X2 is an enhanced multi-measurement module that
can be used with any compatible Philips IntelliVue patient monitor. Once
detached from the host monitor, it is an independent, battery-operated
transport monitor with its own display, alarm function and the ability to
store up to 24 hours of patient information. If equipped with wireless
networking capability, the MMS X2 can also transmit data directly to an IntelliVue Information Center.
The IntelliVue MP2
patient monitor is based on the same compact design and has
benefits for users in and outside of the hospital. Small hospitals and
surgery centres can benefit from a rugged, compact, full-featured patient
monitor that offers clinical decision support tools such as ST Map and
Horizon Trends, and the ability to connect to the IntelliVue Clinical
Network. These features enable clinicians to assess patient information and
make confident care decisions.
Users outside of the hospital — including
government, law enforcement, civilian applications and disaster relief
organizations —have expressed a need for a stand-alone monitor that can
capture patients’ vital signs while being durable enough to withstand the
rigours of use in the field. The MP2, which is light, compact and can run on
batteries, also features a highly-configurable display that can be set up to
meet these users’ individual needs.
