IntelliVue Telemetry System

IntelliVue Telemetry System

The IntelliVue Telemetry System with Smart-Hopping Technology uses cellular
architecture to provide two-way communication between transceivers and the
IntelliVue Information Center. Smart-hopping technology dodges interference
and seeks out the strongest available signal to achieve seamless connections
wherever patients roam on the clinical network. The system connects a number
of individual devices to form a complete method of transporting patient data to a
central repository for subsequent distribution to clinical staff. Full patient
mobility is available within the areas defined by the wireless coverage of the
multiple Access Points.
Bi-
Telemetry transmits the patient's measurements using radio waves. The signals
directional
obtained from the patient travel from the transceiver to an access point in the
Capability
ceiling or wall and then to the Information Center. Bi-directional capability
enables you to remotely control certain transceiver functions from the
Information Center. Physiological data is transported from the transceiver, and a
reverse data channel enables data to be transported to the transceiver. Bi-
directional operations include the following:
