Surveillance and Networking
Real strength in telemetry includes flexibility Today, more monitored patients are mobile. Broad wireless coverage means more freedom for patients and more flexibility for clinicians For clinical users, the clinical network should essentially be invisible. The information you rely on should be available when and where it's needed, whether the source is a telemetry transmitter, a wireless monitor, a networked bedside monitor, or a laboratory information system. UHF Fresh capabilities for our proven system is installed in thousands of healthcare facilities around the world, and it has proven both durable and adaptable for over a decade. Upgraded transmitters combine standard and EASI derived 12-lead ECG monitoring on a single device, run on AA batteries, and provide audio feedback for many tasks. System design and installation Philips technical consultants work closely with your clinical staff along with IT, biomedical, and facilities departments to design and implement a system that will work for you now, and for years to come. Training and support We offer training in many forms, from on-site classes led by clinical experts to carefully constructed computer-based training. Our customers can also rely on our service organization for exceptionally prompt, responsive support.
UHF overview transmitters send continuous ECG and SpO 2 measurements to the Information Center, where they are captured, analyzed, displayed, and stored. features Traditional 3- or 5-lead and EASI derived 12-lead ECG* on the same device ECG only transmitter is particularly light and comfortable for patients Audio feedback at transmitter confirms power on and SpO 2 spot check Coexists with 802.11 devices in the same space without interference AA batteries are inexpensive and easy to load. Antenna Strings Patient A Combining Network A B Receiver Mainframe Information Center assigns a channel to each telemetry transmitter. Each transmitter is permanently linked to a particular receiver in the mainframe. The mainframe processes the raw data from the transmitters, then relays the patient s measurements to the central station through a direct wired connection. A distributed antenna system extends patients geographic coverage. Clear-front pouch protects transmitter while patients shower. Patient B Physiologic Data Colored labels identify clinical unit. Telemetry overview links a patient s transceiver and an monitor so that the patient s telemetry measurements (waves, numerics, and alarms) appear on the bedside monitor and the central station in context with other physiologic data. TeleMon companion monitor displays waveforms at the patient's side and includes non-invasive blood pressure. SpO 2 spot check initiated simply by plugging in sensor. FAST-SpO 2 technology for motion tolerance and performance in patients with low perfusion. Leadsets are 79 cm (30 in.) to accommodate patient movements. Colored 5-lead leadsets available. Compatible with trunk cables. Battery gauge LEDs on transmitter. Unused ECG connector pins can be covered to keep dirt out. Easy switching between standard or EASI ECG monitoring. *EASI derived 12-lead ECGs and their measurements are approximations to conventional 12-lead ECGs and should not be used for diagnostic interpretations. Audio feedback for spot check SpO 2 and other actions.
The flexible, wired/wireless Clinical Network Infrastructure: The Clinical Network is the enabling framework for your clinical data flow The Information Center is the heart of the Clinical Network It all works together The Clinical Network is designed specifically to manage the flow of time-critical, round-the-clock patient monitoring data. Isolation (physical and/or logical) protects the network from many of the day-to-day hazards of business networks, including viruses and and transmission delays. At the same time, the Clinical Network can maintain a controlled connection with the hospital LAN so that useful patient information such as lab results or PACS images can be delivered to the bedside monitor or central station without the risk of disrupting the flow of physiologic data or alarms. Combining advanced patient surveillance capabilities across the network with state-ofthe-art clinical decision support tools, the Information Center is so much more than a central station. The Information Center presents a comprehensive view of patient status past and present, with up to 96 hours of full disclosure. Export 12-lead ECGs to your Holter system or waveform strips to the CareVue Chart clinical information system. Our suite of clinical review applications includes industry-leading arrhythmia analysis, alarm review, and event-based surveillance. Web-based access enables everything from better informed consults to the remote ICU care model. Portal technology opens a window on patient monitors or the Information Center to run applications from the hospital LAN.

Flexible wireless monitoring applications Hospitals have discovered that telemetry systems have broad applications throughout the hospital, from the emergency department where incoming patients with suspected cardiac abnormalities can be monitored without necessarily tying up a monitored bed, to neuroscience units where ECG telemetry can be useful in caring for stroke patients.
