Philips Respironics the manfacturer of the VitalSense non invasive temperature monitoring system has ceased the manufacture of the VitalSense Monitor, the XHR Heart Rate/Respiratory sensor and the XHR Multicharger. The availability of the specialised SAFT AAA battery and the emergence of new technology incorporating the VitalSense Core Temperature Capsule and Dermal Skin Patch with other physiological measurements has lead to the VitalSense monitoring unit decision.
IMPORTANT: The VitalSense Core Temperature Capsule and Dermal Patch skin temperature sensor are still being manufactured and is incorporated into the Equivital System.
The new, state-of-the-art VitalSense XHR sensor wirelessly transmits Heart Rate and Respiration Rate from ambulatory subjects directly to the VitalSense Monitor. Each sensor has a unique ID allowing more than one to be actively transmitting within range of the VitalSense monitor.
XHR Sensor
Continuous, 24/7, Unobtrusive Patient Monitoring
Chest-worn wireless physiological monitor that incorporates an ECG-signal processor
Attaches to 2 standard ECG pads
Sensor Specifications
- Heart Rate Range: 16-240 BPM
- Heart Rate Resolution: ± 1 BPM
- Heart Rate Accuracy: greater of ± 10% or 5 BPM
- Respiration Rate: 2 RPM 1/4 the HR
VS-XHR meets AAMI EC-13 standards for Heart Rate Monitors (applicable causes)
Battery Function
The rechargeable battery in the XHR provides two days of battery life on a full charge. The proprietary multi-charger can reset and recharge up to three devices simultaneously.
Data
Data are transmitted to the VitalSense monitor. The VitalSense monitor stores and/or exports the data via the proprietary VitalSense application software. The software is a Windows®-based program and allows for data storage in text or VitalSense Binary Format. Files can be exported in plain text format or in Microsoft Excel® file format. |
