Philips, Edwards collaborate to enhance patient monitoring
A partnership announced Tuesday between Philips Healthcare and Edwards Lifesciences will integrate Edwards' oximetry catheter and sensor technology with Philips’ IntelliVue patient monitors.
According to Irvine, Calif.-based Edwards, the integration will help to reduce the amount of patient monitors for each patient and allow access to patient reports via EMRs.
Under the collaboration, a module has been developed which makes Edwards’ PreSep, PediaSat and Swan-Ganz oximetry catheters compatible with Philips' models MP40 through MP90 of the IntelliVue patient monitors.
