IntelliVue Information Center

IntelliVue Information Center combines the real-time monitoring surveillance of a central station with sophisticated clinical decision support tools. The Information Center can capture complete waveforms, trends, alarms, and numerics from networked Philips patient monitors and telemetry systems, as well as the HeartStart MRx Monitor/Defibrillator.*

The Information Center is equipped with innovative Philips portal technology, which provides ready access to data from web-enabled applications on the hospital network. Monitoring data can be viewed together with digital radiology images, archived data, lab results, reports, protocols, and other information conveniently and logically on the display.

No special computer expertise is needed to work with the Information Center since it uses familiar Microsoft Windows® screens, menus, and navigation commands. Our Help application provides contextual information and instructions from any screen.

Key features of the IntelliVue Information Center

Whether you have 4 beds to manage or 1,900+, you will find configurations and options for the IntellliVue Information Center to suit your needs. You can choose different levels of remote access, number of displays, and much more.

The IntelliVue Clinical Network is the enabling framework for your clinical data flow
The IntelliVue 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 transmission delays.

At the same time, the IntelliVue 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.

Main components of the IntelliVue Clinical Network

• IntelliVue Database Server provides short-term data storage (up to 96 hours) and transfer across the clinical network and facilitates data interchange with the hospital LAN via HL7
• IntelliVue Application Server opens a window on the IntelliVue Patient Monitoring System to deliver remote clinical applications
• Tunneling Control Engine protects and prioritizes real-time monitoring waveforms and alarms over other traffic on the clinical network
• Industry Standard Components Cat 5/6 cabling and standard switches
