Philips IntelliVue MX800: A Smart and Scalable Patient Monitor for Critical Care
In hospital settings where every second matters, the ability to quickly and accurately access a patient’s vital data is essential. The Philips IntelliVue MX800 patient monitor was specifically designed with this goal in mind. This intelligent bedside platform combines advanced physiological monitoring with a built-in PC (iPC), enabling seamless interaction with clinical information systems. It transforms the traditional monitoring station into a true clinical information management hub, enhancing decision-making and the quality of care delivered.
The MX800 features a large 19-inch widescreen touchscreen that displays real-time monitoring data alongside information from electronic medical records, PACS systems, care sheets, and diagnostic support tools. Thanks to the integrated Windows® operating system, clinicians can navigate hospital IT environments directly from the patient’s bedside. The monitor is also compatible with multi-measurement modules such as IntelliVue X2 or X3, ensuring continuous care even during patient transport.
One of the MX800’s key strengths is its ability to highlight significant clinical changes through tools like Horizon Trends, ProtocolWatch Sepsis, ST Map, and Advanced Event Surveillance. These applications assist caregivers in early detection of patient deterioration, enabling prompt intervention. Additionally, the Alarm Advisor analyzes active alarms and suggests customization strategies to reduce irrelevant alarms and minimize staff fatigue.
The MX800 is designed for daily hospital use, featuring smooth surfaces, materials compatible with disinfection protocols, and a fanless design to minimize the risk of cross-contamination. Its user interface, consistent with other IntelliVue monitors, ensures a rapid learning curve for clinical teams. In terms of connectivity, the MX800 integrates seamlessly with both wired and wireless hospital networks, adapting to various IT policies.
Thanks to its scalability, the monitor adapts to the evolving needs of healthcare facilities, with software and hardware upgrade options that ensure long-term value. All of these features make the Philips IntelliVue MX800 a central tool for continuous monitoring and care coordination in demanding environments such as intensive care units, operating rooms, and emergency departments.
