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.
