GE Apex Pro Features
The ApexPro telemetry receiver is a new space-saving design and can be conveniently mounted to a standard network equipment rack or shelf. Configuration allows up to four quad receiver modules, for a total of 16 multi-channel telemetry receivers in one compact unit. The flexibility to add quads with four receiver channels allows the system to grow with the number of patients who are monitored telemetrically.
The multi-channel receivers are admitted through the Clinical Information Center CIC Pro. The telemetry data is processed there, stored, and displayed. The telemetrically acquired ECG data can also be displayed on a bedside monitor. The use of LAN data transfer technology allows the receiver system to be located virtually anywhere within the hospital. LED displays offer quick, easy assessment of online status while diagnostic ports speed troubleshooting.
