Philips Launches its First Patient Monitoring System Designed for Emerging Markets in India

by Barbara Kram, Editor | July 16, 2008

"Philips is known globally for its cutting edge monitoring technology, and the strong after sales support with back-up in India, have made us active users of SureSigns Monitors. Further the monitoring parameters of SureSigns closely relate to the clinical findings, and that speaks highly for the algorithms devised and designed by Philips Healthcare," said Dr. Chandrasekhar, Head Of Department, Anesthesia, Osmania General Hospital, Hyderabad.

Like all other Philips SureSigns products, the VM3 is easy to set up, learn, use, and support, with intuitive navigation and color displays that are bright and easy to read, even in low-light situations. In addition, Philips also launched the SureSigns Vital Signs Viewer (VSV) to complement their entire VM-series patient monitors.

The VSV is an affordable, reliable, and simple way to provide the benefits of central viewing and alarming without the complexity and expense of a traditional PC-based central station. Central viewing and alarming can benefit any care area with a high patient-to-caregiver ratio. Having a clear picture of each patient's status, at a single glance, helps improve patient care and helps relieve stress on nursing staff.

The VSV displays vital signs data and one waveform from up to 12 patient monitors at a time. In fact, with the VSV, customers can add central monitoring for a department for about the cost of a single VM Series monitor.

Philips is a leading supplier of patient monitoring equipment with 38% market-share in 2007 and having installations across India in leading hospitals as well as remote areas. Philips has introduced several new Patient monitoring products in the last six months to further expand its presence in India. These include IntelliVue MP2, IntelliVue X2, IntelliVue MP5, SureSigns series and Avalon FM20 Fetal monitors.
