Philips Clinical Data Services general manager Elad Benjamin said: “This FDA clearance of the latest release of clinical surveillance solution enables more integrated viewing options within electronic medical records (EMR) and health information technology (HIT) tools through the secure web-based user interface.
“The updated intended use provides flexible deployment configurations that Philips Capsule can offer to hospitals and health systems in the USA.
“Properly implemented clinical surveillance has the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes by helping to avoid deterioration, while also improving the care team experience via clinical decision support and minimising the burden of false and clinically unactionable alarms.”
The Philips Capsule Surveillance can reduce the risks for clinical staff treating infectious patients.
It also provides early identification of deteriorating patient conditions, which helps to reduce care costs and use resources efficiently by avoiding escalations and complications.
Philips plans to release the latest version of the surveillance solution to limited sites in the US in the second quarter of the year.
