Philips IntelliVue Mx700

The Information Needed at the Bedside

• Access comprehensive patient information from a range of clinical informatics solutions from Philips and others right at the point of care. Interfaces, measurement support, and clinical applications provide the information needed in a highly configurable solution that blends in easily with IT environments and with existing IntelliVue solutions. The familiar IntelliVue interface helps smooth workflow as well.

Valuable Clinical Decision Support

• Use Advanced Event Surveillance to create event-trigger groups to help identify subtle changes in a patient's condition, or use ProtocolWatch for sepsis screening. The IntelliVue MX700 provide a platform to continue building advanced Clinical Decision Support applications within the iPC in a standard Windows® operating environment, offering Basic Event Surveillance, Parameter Histograms, the Neonatal Clinical Decision Support package, and Drug Calculator.

Alarms

• Patient monitors allow alarms to be easily customized and transmitted to clinicians through the hospital paging system.

Supporting Efforts to Help Reduce Cross-Contamination

• The IntelliVue MX700 monitors are designed with cleaning and infection prevention in mind. With smooth surfaces, minimal seams, and approved for use with a variety of cleaning agents, these monitors are simple to clean, which supports efforts in infection control. The optional integrated PC is passively cooled with no internal fan, supporting efforts to reduce cross-contamination.

Main Components

Display

The monitors have a color 15” LCD TFT display with a wide viewing angle, providing high resolution waveform and data presentation. The MX600 and MX700 integrate the display and the processing unit into one device. One external slave display can be connected to a built-in DVI-I port.

A second independent display can be connected via the iPC. Multiple display resolutions including widescreen formats are supported on the iPC.

Integrated PC (iPC)

The iPC is a fan-less, medical grade PC residing within the MX700 and as such designed for continuous operation in the patient vicinity.

The iPC uses MS Windows 7 (or XP) as an operating system and can host respective applications. These applications can either be:

• Windows applications, such as Internet Explorer,
• Philips applications such as iSite clients or an application launch pad,
• Third party applications or
• Hospital owned and developed software.

The iPC is designed as an “open” PC and such can be serviced and maintained by the hospital’s IT department as well as by Philips.

A separate isolated LAN interface allows access to the hospital’s backbone independent of the MX700.

The iPC can safely share the main display with the MX600 and MX700 (single display setup) and/or be used with a standard or a medical grade display (dual display setup), either provided by Philips or another manufacturer. The iPC supports displays with or without touch operation.

The iPC has six USB 2.0 ports (five at the rear and one at the side of the monitor) supporting High-Speed mode for computer peripherals such as the keyboard, mouse, barcode reader, touch display etc.

User Interface

The color graphical user interface is designed for fast and intuitive operation and ensures that clinicians quickly feel at ease using the monitor.

SmartKeys with intuitive icons allow monitoring tasks to be performed quickly and easily, directly on the monitor screen.

Waves and numerics are color-coded.

The MX700 display up to six waves simultaneously. For 12- lead ECG monitoring it can display 12 real-time ECG waves, with a rhythm strip and all ST values.

Flexible screen layout allows optimal use of the available display space, for example, waves can be overlapped or wave size can adjust dynamically depending on the number of waves configured for space.

The Basic Help provides on-screen operating help, explaining INOP and alarm messages.
