ApexPro : An Advanced Telemetry Solution for Continuous Monitoring
The GE Healthcare ApexPro telemetry system is designed to meet the needs of continuous patient monitoring in modern healthcare environments. By integrating cutting-edge technologies, ApexPro enables clinicians to effectively monitor mobile patients and securely transfer vital data. This system is part of a comprehensive suite of mobile, remote, and bedside monitoring technologies, providing optimal management of clinical information logistics across the enterprise.
One of the key strengths of ApexPro lies in its innovative networking infrastructure, which significantly reduces the risk of transmission interference, dropouts, and downtime. With quad diversity antennas, the system scans four separate antenna fields every second to obtain the best signal from each patient. This approach ensures interference-free wireless transmissions tailored to the specific RF environment of each facility.
The ApexPro system is designed to provide continuous patient monitoring through reliable components, including the CARESCAPE Telemetry T4 transmitter. This transmitter offers exceptional battery life, exceeding the average inpatient stay duration, which reduces monitoring interruptions due to battery changes. With a typical battery life of 110 hours, clinicians can focus on patient care without constantly checking battery status.
ApexPro utilizes the GE EK-Pro clinical algorithm, which analyzes four independent, simultaneous ECG leads, meeting and exceeding stringent AHA guidelines. This advanced technology enables early detection and alarming of atrial fibrillation, contributing to more timely and effective patient management. Additionally, the CARESCAPE Telemetry T4 transmitter can monitor two V-leads per patient, providing a comprehensive view of the patient's heart condition.
The flexible design of ApexPro allows each transmitter to monitor only the parameters required for each patient, whether it's continuous monitoring of ECG and SpO2 or episodic monitoring of NIBP and temperature. This customization enables caregivers to tailor monitoring according to the patient's acuity, ensuring optimal care.
ApexPro offers extended accessibility to clinical information through various viewing devices, such as CARESCAPE Mobile Viewers, CARESCAPE CIC Pro central stations, and Dash or Solar monitors in combination mode. These solutions enable centralized or decentralized monitoring, providing caregivers with the flexibility to respond quickly to critical situations and ensure continuous, high-quality monitoring.
