HIMSS Middle East
(BUSINESS WIRE)--Welch Allyn, a leading medical diagnostic device company that delivers pragmatic innovation at the point of care, will showcase a new connected electrocardiograph (ECG) at booth 207 next week at the Ministry of Health & HIMSS Middle East Conference and Exhibition in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Welch Allyn CP 150™ ECG offers flexible report formatting, intuitive design and functionality in addition to administering patient tests and managing information via a touch-screen, color display. Trained personnel at the Welch Allyn booth will be on hand to demonstrate the CP 150 along with other Welch Allyn devices including the Connex® Integrated Wall System and Connex® Electronic Vitals Documentation System.
According to Hisham Hout, senior vice president, Europe, Middle East, North Africa and the Indian Sub-continent at Welch Allyn, the solutions Welch Allyn will feature next week at HIMSS Middle East are a direct result of the growing demand for connected and configurable solutions that anticipate and respond to unique healthcare provider needs around the world. The products offer easy-to-use features and options designed to provide clinicians with access to information and the technology they need to help them provide the best possible patient care.
“The solutions we will feature at HIMSS Middle East next week allow providers to quickly and efficiently collect and record patients’ vital signs, which is important in fast-paced clinical settings,” said Hout. “Our vision is to help transform care, wherever patients and healthcare professionals connect, with measurable improvement in value so that all can thrive. The technology we will showcase next week is designed to help reduce risk, improve patient outcomes and improve staff productivity, giving clinicians more time to focus on their most important task—providing better care for their patients so they, too, can thrive.”
Welch Allyn CP 150™
The user-friendly Welch Allyn CP 150 was designed to help improve workflow. The seven-inch, color touch-screen display with an integrated user interface eliminates the need to track between the display and keyboard and allows for fast and easy entry of patient data to help save time and reduce errors. A three-, six- or 12-lead preview display is also incorporated into the touchscreen, which helps easily and efficiently identify connection problems. An instant-on feature powers up the device quickly to take an ECG at a moment’s notice and the advanced filters provide optimal ECG trace quality to ensure accurate readings. The CP 150 can be transported easily with the battery-powered operation and up to 100 test results can be stored on the device. ECG results can also be transferred directly to a USB memory stick for additional storage or uploaded to the practice’s data management system through the Welch Allyn CardioPerfect® Workstation.
Welch Allyn Connex® Integrated Wall System
The Welch Allyn Connex Integrated Wall System (IWS) incorporates nearly 100 years of innovation into one unit. The system features traditional Welch Allyn physical assessment instruments—an integrated ophthalmoscope and otoscope—combined with twenty-first century vital signs assessment technology from the Connex® Vital Signs Monitor (VSM). The Connex VSM is a full-color, touch-screen vital signs device providing automatic measurements such as heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, pulse oximetry, weight and total hemoglobin; manual parameters such as respiration, height and pain level; and modifiers such as body position, O2 therapy details and others.
By incorporating Connex VSM technology into the Connex IWS, the wall unit can be configured for spot-check monitoring with intervals or triage modes and is ideal for sites using an electronic medical record (EMR) or hospital information system (HIS). The Connex IWS is designed to significantly reduce time spent on manual transcription and instances of human error and has the ability to automatically transfer data to an EMR. Plus, it offers the ability for patient vital signs to be viewed anytime, anywhere on a network. The customizable wall system supports both Welch Allyn and its manufacturing partners’ technology, and the open architecture enables facilities to protect their investment, as upgrades and new technology can be added as they become available.
Welch Allyn Connex® Electronic Vitals Documentation System
The Welch Allyn Connex Electronic Vitals Documentation (EVD) System is an all-in-one solution that electronically captures and transmits patient vital signs data to an EMR to enable improvements in patient safety and clinical decision making, and reduce risk to facilities. The system provides clinicians in general care settings with immediate access to accurate vital signs anytime, anywhere. It includes the Connex VSM, accessory cable management stand and Connex® Vitals Management (VM) software which automates the vitals documentation process to eliminate manual steps and the errors that go with them. With Connex VM software integrated into an EMR system, users can document accurate patient data right from the bedside.
