Integrated Monitor Theory of Operation
The IntelliVue Patient Monitor:
• displays real-time data
• controlls the attached measurement servers
• alarms in the case of patient or equipment problems
• offers limited data storage and retrieval (trending)
• interfaces to the Philips Clinical Network and other equipment

blocks to form a monitoring system with a large number of measurements, additional interface
capabilities and multiple slave displays. These elements cooperate as one single integrated real-time
measurement system.

openness and real-time requirements:
