Sensium® your early warning system
Sensium® is a discreet, wearable, wireless system for monitoring vital signs of patients outside of high acuity areas. By using a light comfortable sensor worn on the patients chest, Sensium® accurately and reliably monitors and reports heart rate, respiration rate and axillary temperature providing data every two minutes. By notifying clinicians of changes in patients’ vital signs, Sensium® brings the nurse to the deteriorating patient.
75% of all adverse events and preventable deaths occur outside the ICU in unmonitored beds1
Sensium® will detect deterioration as soon as it happens and notify the necessary clinician allowing early clinical intervention
Deterioration CAN HAPPEN BETWEEN OBSERVATION ROUNDS
In general care areas of the hospital, vital signs are typically taken during routine observation rounds once every four to eight hours.
If a patient deteriorates between these observation rounds the warning signs can go undetected for hours, potentially leading to serious and costly consequences.
GENERAL CARE AREAS
The Sensium® system is intended for use in low acuity wards for hospital inpatients who are currently not on automated monitoring but who are at risk of deterioration. This includes patients on general wards, post-operative med/surg. wards and patients waiting before and after treatment in Accident and Emergency departments.
FROM PATCH...
The Sensium® Patch provides accurate and continuous monitoring of the three key lead indicators of patient deterioration: heart-rate (HR), respiration rate (RR) and axillary temperature (T). Sensium wirelessly communicates this physiological information via safe and secure low power wireless communication to the network of Sensium® bridges placed through the ward area.
- Transmits HR, RR & axilla T every 2 mins
- Disposable – no cross infection risk
- 5 day battery life
- 3 hours of data storage
- Lightweight and comfortable for patients
- Uses standard ECG electrodes
- Showerproof (IP54)
....TO BRIDGE AND SERVER
The Sensium® bridges are connected into the hospital IT system and the Sensium Link® software installed on the hospital network allows patient data to be seamlessly conveyed to clinical staff where and when they need it most. The Sensium® system allows patients to ambulate freely, untethered to static and expensive equipment, whilst still having the reassurance of continuous monitoring.
Sensium® patient data when and where you need it.
Sensium® accurately and reliably monitors and transmits patients’ vital signs every 2 minutes. A dashboard summary of vital signs and patient history can be viewed at nursing stations or on other web enabled devices.
Crucially, notifications can be configured to work with hospital pager systems or mobile notification devices, giving you data when you need it, where you need it. To save time and ensure accuracy, Sensium® can be easily integrated with the hospital admission, discharge, transfer systems and electronic medical records.
The system is configurable to display up to 24 hours of vital signs trend data. Highly flexible, Sensium® allows clinicians to configure alert levels for each vital sign as appropriate to their clinical environment.
Easy to use, SensiumVitals® integrates into the clinical workflow with the minimum of customisation and disruption.
