All Ultraview SL portable monitors (SL2200, SL2400 and SL2600) can securely transmit data via optional wireless Ethernet communication to support central surveillance during transport and to assure uninterrupted collection of vital patient data. With a wireless network, vital signs data can be displayed and viewed on central monitors while patients are being moved – a time when they may be under increased stress and therefore at greater risk. Thus the wireless capability enhances patient safety and facilitates emergency response when needed. .

Wireless networking also enables patients to be transferred to less intensive – and less expensive – care units while receiving the same level of monitoring. It also assures seamless connectivity, providing concise and complete patient records from admission to discharge.

As part of Spacelabs’ commitment to open standards and connectivity, our innovative wireless solution is capable of operating on a hospital’s existing wireless infrastructure while coexisting with other wireless applications. The wireless monitors are compliant with IEEE 802.11a/b/g,  the WiFi standards that have gained broad acceptance within health care institutions worldwide. 

When operating in the wireless mode, the monitor provides an on-screen signal strength indicator to indicate adequacy of signal coverage for network communication. All monitored parameters are automatically transmitted for view on central monitors or other bedside monitors, and all patient data collected for review within the ICS® Clinical Suite of products, or within the hospital’s EMR via ICS HL7 interface.
