PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS has launched a new vital signs monitor, the Philips SureSigns VS3. It has a large 8.4” colour LCD display and a simple user interface to make it easier for clinicians to assess patient vital signs information.
The monitor provides easy access to patient information using pop-up screens, fixed keys and icon-based menus. The screen also provides clinicians with the choice of viewing scrollable stored patient records and an optional SpO2 waveform. SureSigns VS3 measurements include non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry, pulse rate and temperature, and with programmable noninvasive blood pressure capabilities, users can create up to five different programs to monitor non-invasive blood pressure at particular intervals, based on unit-specific protocols.
