The Philips IntelliVue MP70 patient monitor integrates a 15-inch color LCD display with a data processing unit into one device. Eight different waves can be displayed on the screen along with the 12-lead ECG screen. Navigating throughout the menus of the MP70 is easy with its touchscreen display and user-friendly interface. The MP70 has two integrated slots for plug-in modules. You can also use the two-slot recorder module in the integrated slots. Everything you need to operate the monitor is contained on its screen. Almost every element on the screen is interactive, Screen Elements include measurement numerics, waveforms, screen keys, information fields, alarm fields, and menus. The Philips MP70 can be connected to the Multi-Measurement Server (MMS) and any one of the measurement server extensions, as well as the Flexible Module Server.
The Flexible Module Server allows you to use up to eight measurement modules when attached to the Philips IntelliVue MP70. The modules you can attach to the FMS are: Invasive Blood Pressure, Temperature, Oxygen Saturday of Arterial Blood (SpO2), Cardiac output, Transcutaneous Gas, Mixed Venous Oxygen Saturation (SvO2), Recorder, VueLink Device Interface, EEG, Bispectral Index (BIS), and Spirometry. You can plug and unplug all of these modules during monitoring, just insert the module until the lever on the module clicks into place.
Using the plug-in recorder record numerics for all active measurements and up to three waveforms can be documented. It can be used for local recording in either the FMS or the integrated module slots. Report templates can be defined in advance, enabling print-outs tailored to each hospital's specific requirements to be started quickly. They can be printed locally or centrally - connected printers, and they can be initiated manually or automatically at user-defined intervals.
An extensive range of patient reports can be printed:
Clinicians are continuously drawing mental images from their observations of patients' vital signs. The IntelliVue's clinical decision support applications offer a dynamic "mind's eye view" directly on the monitoring screen.
ProtocolWatch allows clinicians to run clinical protocols that can monitor developments in their patients' condition. The SSC Sepsis Protocol runs the ProtocolWatch application and is used in screening for severe sepsis and monitoring its treatment.
ST Map provides a graphical display that can help clinicians to recognize ST changes and their location in the heart more easily. ST Map collects ST values created from the frontal (limb leads) and horizontal (chest leads) plane into an integrated display. The maps are multi-axis portraits of the patient's ST segments as measured with the ST/AR arrhythmia algorithm.
Horizon trends provide clinicians with a graphical visualization tool that allows the end user to detect at a glance the patients' current clinical status. By combining parameters together on the display, the clinician is assisted in their cognitive process of pattern recognition.
Up to six loops of each type can be stored and compared to detect respiratory changes more easily.
Up to 20 different screens can be created per monitor, which means that the clinician has the ability to have a screen created to match a specific clinical scenario in which the data that matters is display. This streamlines the information that needs to be processed and interpreted to make the right decision at the right time.
