IntelliVue Cableless Measurements Use Models
With these patient-worn measurement devices you can measure and transmit a patient's vitals regularly
or on an intermittent data collection basis. There are three typical use models:
With a Patient Monitor
The SpO
2
and the NBP Pods can be used together with an MP5/MP5SC/MP5T, MP2 or X2 patient
monitor (with an SRR interface). They can communicate their measurement values via short range
radio to the monitor. The monitor may be assigned to a patient sector at the IntelliVue Information
Center (IIC). When assigned to the Information Center, certain actions can be performed at both the
patient monitor and the Information Center. See the table “Controls Available with a Patient Monitor”
on page 27.
In situations where patients are becoming more mobile (for example, in step-down/intermediate care
units) the lightweight, cableless SpO
2
and NBP Pods allow increased mobility within the short range
radio range, without giving up vital signs monitoring.
When assigned to a patient monitor, the admitted patient name is displayed on the Pod.
A telemetry device can be assigned to a patient monitor equipped with short range radio at the same
time as any SpO
2
and NBP Pods are also assigned to this monitor.
If the connection between the monitor and the NBP Pod or SpO
2
Pod is lost, an INOP will be
displayed at the monitor:
cl SpO₂ Disconnect or cl NBP Disconnect. A No Host Monitoring INOP
will be displayed on the Pod, and an INOP tone will sound.
With a Telemetry Device
The SpO
2
and the NBP Pods can be assigned to a patient with the telemetry device TRx4841A/
TRx4851A or an MX40 wearable patient monitor. They can communicate their measurement values
via short range radio to the telemetry device which communicates them to an IntelliVue Information
Center to provide a consolidated set of patient values.
Some of the measurement tasks can be performed remotely from the Information Center. See the
table “Controls Available With a Telemetry Device” on page 28.
If the patient name is available at the Information Center, it will be also displayed on the Pod.
