Surveillance of ambulatory cardiac patients. When clarity matters.
2.4 GHz IntelliVue Telemetry System with Smart-hopping technology
The IntelliVue Telemetry System uses advanced Smart-hopping technology, an adaptation of a protocol originally developed for voice communications, to maintain seamless connections between the central station and telemetry devices. With Smart-hopping, the transceiver will change frequencies only to dodge interference or when it finds a stronger signal. Smart-hopping technology also manages bandwidth usage so efficiently that many more simultaneous users can share a channel, in comparison with simple frequency-hopping. And that means the IntelliVue Telemetry System is highly scalable, with capacity to support up to 1,000 transceivers or wireless bedside monitors.
IntelliVue Telemetry System overview
- Compact, lightweight transceivers
- Cellular infrastructure for two-way communication between transceivers and the IntelliVue Information Center
- Smart-hopping technology
- Auto-resume of monitoring when a device comes back into network range
- 2 V-leads with 6-wire ECG for improved tachycardia assessment
- Audible feedback from transceiver on SpO2 spot checks, patient out of range
- Coexists with UHF Philips Telemetry System in the same space
Wireless bedside monitoring and telemetry on the same infrastructure
Our Common Wireless Infrastructure supports wireless bedside monitoring and telemetry. This gives hospitals the benefit of a shared infrastructure that still protects sensitive patient monitoring transmissions from enterprise network traffic.
Device location
Hospitals typically lose 10 to 20 percent of their telemetry devices each year, and the ripple effects of down beds extend to ICUs, ORs and the emergency department. Device location helps hospitals contain equipment costs and prevent interruptions to care.
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.
The flexible, wired/wireless IntelliVue Clinical Network: It all works together
The IntelliVue Clinical Network is designed specifically to manage flows of time-critical, round-the-clock patient monitoring data. The network is protected 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.
