Introducing the IntelliVue Information Center System

Overview

The IntelliVue Information Center system running the M3290A Information Center Release
E.01 application software represents a significant advance in patient monitoring through the
integration of a wide range of functionality into a single, standard PC or Server running a
Microsoft® Windows™ Operating System. The Information Center combines the features of
a central monitor -- multipatient waveform and parameter display, alarm annunciation,
multilead arrhythmia monitoring, and ST analysis -- with the patient data review of a clinical
review station to meet the diverse needs of today's clinical environment.
The Information Center also represents advances in monitoring convenience, flexibility, and
ease-of-use. Display formats, monitoring controls, alarm response, and patient data
presentation are easily configured to suit user preferences and optimize user performance.
Information System functionality can also be purchased in a variety of ways to tailor the
system to specific clinical needs and applications.
A Database Server can be connected to the IntelliVue Clinical Network for storing patient
data obtained from patient monitors connected to Information Centers. Patient data are
transmitted through the Network to the Database Server for storage, analysis, and review. The
M3154 Database Server can store data for up to 128 patients, which can be viewed by all
M3155 Information Centers on the Network and by 8 additional Network connected M3151
Information Center Clients. The M3169 Small Database Server can store data for up to 48
patients, which can be viewed by up to 3 M3155 Information Centers on the Network and by
3 additional Network connected M3151 Information Center Clients. Real-time patient
monitoring data can also be overviewed by all Information Centers and Clients on the
Network. A web access option permits viewing stored and viewable recording patient data
from browser equipped PCs via the hospital's intranet.
