Philips IntelliVue X3, a portable monitor with an intuitive smartphone- style operation, enables continuous monitoring during transport to support a more complete data record.
When patients are transferred from one department to another, clinicians often struggle with incomplete data records leading to inefficiency due to multiple systems operating independently. Getting a complete view into patient data to allow for informed clinical decision support requires manual steps and can contribute to a higher potential for error, especially when dealing with critical care patients. IntelliVue X3 integrates seamlessly into the existing IntelliVue Patient Monitoring system, including bedside and transport monitors, the clinical network and the Philips family of central stations. Data from the IntelliVue X3 is also integrated into mobile applications, the hospital network, and interfaces that connect the system to other medical devices and to the hospital’s electronic medical record (EMR) system. As part of this larger patient monitoring portfolio, X3 assists clinicians in providing the best possible care for patients across all levels of acuity and supporting institution-wide standardization. Health systems need accurate and transparent information and processes to help clinical staff make faster, more consistent decisions based on patient conditions and history. With the development of the IntelliVue X3, the aim is to ensure that data isn’t being lost during transitions so that clinicians are provided with all the information they need, when they need it. In addition to delivering complete data records, IntelliVue X3 provides a comprehensive and scalable set of clinical measurements, ranging from basic to advanced monitoring. It allows for advanced monitoring during stationary and transport situations, including dual invasive blood pressure, built-in mainstream CO₂, a choice between three SpO₂ technologies and state-of-the-art ECG/arrhythmia. The IntelliVue X3 has received the CE Mark in Europe. Pending 510(k), it is not available for sale in the U.S.

Developed for regional anesthesia, vascular access and trauma applications, the SII mountable ultrasound system features a simple, yet smart user interface that adapts to the users imaging needs. The system is portable and can be used across multiple hospital environments, including a zero footprint option for space-constrained rooms. For regional anesthesiologists, enhancing patient throughput is a critical need, especially as they perform an increasing number of ultrasound-guided procedures on a daily basis. The SII features a new touchscreen user interface with a clinician-driven menu logic that adaptively adjusts to the user case. An embedded dual transducer connector also allows quick switching between transducers with two simple taps of the screen, ensuring that the right transducer is always readily available. To further accelerate end-to-end workflow, the SII comes with a new stand, offering elevated transducer holders and additional storage, all while minimizing footprint. For trauma patients, the speed and ease of image acquisition is vital, as a few minutes can alter a patient

Radiometer recently launched its CE-marked TCM5 transcutaneous monitor, addressing the critical care needs of neonatal, pediatric and adult patients, as well as sleep clinic and home care environments. With a sleek appearance, intuitive colour touchscreen interface and clear visual display, this all-new device has been designed with the end user in mind, offering continuous, non-invasive monitoring of tcpO2 and tcpCO2, as well as Masimo SET SpO2, perfusion index and pulse rate in real time. The unique gold-plated sensors automatically recalibrate when placed in the calibration chamber, enabling highly reliable measurements even with prolonged use, and on-board interactive tutorials minimize training requirements. Initially available in Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Japan, Luxembourg, New Zealand, South Africa, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom, the TCM5 monitor offers a choice of two distinct versions tailored to different customer and patient needs. The TCM5 BASIC monitor is ideal for diagnostic investigations in sleep clinics and respiratory care in the home environment. Lightweight and compact with a clear numeric display, it enables accurate determination of ventilation and oxygenation status overnight and the dedicated sleep mode offers silent operation and a dark screen, ensuring that patients are not disturbed. The premium TCM5 FLEX monitor is designed for critical care departments. It is particularly beneficial in neonatal intensive care due to its non-invasive nature. Numeric and trend displays, together with audible and visual alarms, instantly alert clinicians to any change in a patient’s status, enabling immediate intervention. For round-the-clock monitoring of neonates, a special NICU mode automatically monitors the duration of contact with the skin and controls the sensor temperature, helping to prevent damage to sensitive skin.
