Chinese medical instrument company Mindray has launched the VS9 and VS8 vital signs monitors to unlock the potential of routine observations, helping medical staff deliver patient-centric care.

They include an IoT device manager that provides detailed status and diagnostics of all Mindray vital signs devices and other Mindray products across the hospital, helping engineers increase the clinical efficiency of their devices.

To monitor patient status precisely and timely, nurses need to record and file vital signs in detail for each patient, which increases both the workload and the risk of error caused by manual transcription. The VS series addresses these problems with a workstation that can transform spot check patient monitoring.

It delivers precise vital sign measurements at rapid speed, increasing patient comfort, clinical efficiency and patient safety. Empowered by patented technologies, Mindray’s TrueBP measurement takes an accurate NIBP value in 15s, while TrueResp measurement records a patient’s respiration rate automatically from the SpO2 finger sensor.

Boasting interoperable connectivity, the VS9 makes digital patient data integration simple. It can seamlessly link into different third-party EMR systems, or connect to the integrated CMS that allows medical staff to monitor patient data from spot checks and continuous monitoring at the same time.

Featuring a 25.6cm touch screen that supports swapping and switching between parameters, workflow profiles and assessment tools, the VS9 enables a flexible and fully customisable range of observation profiles to fit different patient groups, departments or clinical tasks, thereby consolidating and speeding up bedside assessments.

In addition, the integrated automated early warning score (EWS) calculates patient scores and provides customisable escalation messages to support timely clinical interventions. The patient’s EWS scores can also be integrated into the EWS dashboard at the CMS, allowing clinicians to monitor patient status anytime, anywhere.

The products are available in Europe, Australia and other selected regions.
