Wireless Telemetry System

The Philips MX40 Telemetry device combined with the PIIC iX central monitoring system, is an excellent choice for most hospitals that can expect to leverage the broad networking capabilities and configurability of the system. It may be especially advantageous for larger hospitals that want to access telemetry data and manage system configurations from multiple care areas.


The MX40 device offers most of the features that we believe transmitters with integrated displays should offer to enhance patient safety in many of today's telemetry settings, including:
  • The option to have alarms annunciated, and messages displayed, at the device;
  • A color display with up to two waveforms, and numeric patient data with alarm limits;
  • The ability to silence and pause alarms at the MX40;
  • The ability for the MX40 to transition to the functionality of a mini-arrhythmia detection capability and alarms.

Telemetry systems were developed to monitor patients who are at risk for cardiac events but not acutely ill enough to warrant continuous bedside monitoring. Today, they often offer additional measurements that can be used to monitor conditions like hypoxia and compromised respiratory status. Patients on telemetry monitoring are often ambulatory for part of the day.

The IntelliVue MX40 telemetry system comprises the following:

a) The patient-worn MX40 telemetry device, which is used to acquire patient data and relay it wirelessly using Philips' IntelliVue Smart-hopping 1.4 GHz WMTS network or the hospital's industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) 802.11a/b/g/n wireless network.
  • The device is powered interchangeably by either a rechargeable Li-ion battery or three AA alkaline batteries and is equipped with a 1.70 × 2.26-inch color display.
  • The MX40 monitors ECG, detects arrhythmias, and displays continuous ST and QT segments, SpO2, and impedance respiration, when connected to the PIIC iX or when communication is lost between the device and PIIC iX.
  • The display on the MX40 can show numerics and up to two waveforms (i.e., ECG, SpO2, or impedance respiration).

b) The PIIC iX platform, which can be used to control multiple types of Philips monitors across multiple care areas. The PIIC iX includes a telemetry central station, consisting of a PC and one or two flat-panel screens for clinical review. In a networked, multi-care-area configuration, the PIIC iX can be used to easily transfer patients from one care area to another or to allow overview monitoring of multiple care areas.
  • The PIIC iX can accommodate up to 32 patients (either single or dual displays, depending on PC screen size).
  • Central stations are usually located at unit nursing stations and hallways. Some facilities consolidate patient monitoring in remote areas, where a team of technicians is given responsibility for monitoring central station screens. The PIIC iX is adaptable to either of these models.
  • The following diagram depicts the workflow of the PIIC iX platform. Note that the "IBE" shown in the diagram is the IntelliBridge Enterprise, a bidirectional interface between the Philips clinical informatics system and the hospital information systems; it is used to  exchange admission/discharge/transfer (ADT) information, laboratory information, patient orders, and data between the Philips system and the electronic health record.
