A medical-grade, wireless device that adheres discreetly to the chest, the Philips Biosensor BX100 measures vital signs, posture and activity while allowing patient mobility. It is designed to work with IntelliVue GuardianSoftware to aid early identification of patient deterioration, driving early intervention.

Respiration rate is the earliest predictor of clinical deterioration, often
changing hours before other vital signs.2 Frequent monitoring by the
Philips Biosensor BX100 can replace visual observation counts, which
may be unreliable and inconsistent.3 The combination of respiratory
rate and heart rate monitoring assists caregivers in identifying
patients at risk for deterioration.

Automatic measurement and recording
Supports effective use of caregivers’ time
Because the Philips Biosensor BX100 frequently and automatically
measures, records and transmits vital signs data, it can free time for
more effective use of staff resources and may reduce errors caused
by manual transcription.

Wi-fi transmission of patient data
Integrates with IntelliVue GuardianSoftware
As patients walk about the ward, multi-patient Bluetooth routers capture
data from the biosensors and send it to IntelliVue GuardianSoftware via
your Wi-Fi network. IntelliVue GuardianSoftware identifies significant
deviations in a patient’s vital signs and automatically verifies the
accuracy of the trend. It then notifies caregivers of the change, driving
early intervention.

Multi-patient bridge supports multiple patients
Routers support up to 16 biosensors
As patients move about the ward, data from the biosensors is
wirelessly transmitted via a Multi-patient bridge, which consists
of ceiling-mounted routers that can accommodate connection
with up to 16 biosensors per router. The Multi-patient bridge
features a 30 m (100 ft) line-of-sight connectivity.

* Biosensor will collect data up to 115 hours and will attempt to transmit stored data for up to 120 hours. Each patient’s experience will be different; actual operational life and data transmission period may be shorter for some patients.
**Biosensor will reject pacemaker pulses and accurately compute heart rate when it detects pacemaker pulses with amplitudes = ±2 mV to = ±700
mV and pulse width = 0.1 ms and amplitudes = ±2 mV but < ±50 mV and pulse width = 2 ms (with the exclusion of dual-chamber pacing and pace pulses with tails) Biosensor will indicate that data is invalid when it detects pacemaker pulses with amplitudes = ±100 mV but = ±700 mV and pulse width = 2 ms (with the exclusion of dual-chamber pacing and pace pulses with tails) or ineffectively paced QRS complexes. Philips does not claim, verify or validate support for all available pacemakers.
***Posture accuracy depends on biosensor calibration, which occurs automatically after patient has ambulated for at least 15 seconds
† Actual range will vary depending on the Bluetooth backend system to which the biosensor is connected.
