VitalSense® - On-Line Telemetric Monitoring of
Temperature for Heat
Stress in Ambulatory Subjects, Vital Sense can record up to 10 parameters
including core temperature using ingestible pills, surface
temperature, heart rate and respiration rate with the new X-HR
sensor
|
VITALSENSE
- Integrated
Physiological Monitoring System
A
breakthrough medical device for ambulatory monitoring of core and dermal
temperatures |
| Monitor
your subjects without wires or probes |
| A
Complete System: Sensors, Monitor, Software & Accessories |
| The VitalSense System includes
wireless sensors, a small monitor, software and accessories.
VitalSense is designed to be effective for monitoring temperature, in
active or inactive subjects, and in INDOOR or
OUTDOOR environments such as: |
|
|
-
Healthcare telemedicine
-
Sports medicine
-
Hazardous occupations
|
|
VitalSense monitors and
stores core and dermal temperature data, monitors and tracks up to
10 sensors and displays data in graphic and/or numerical outputs.
VitalSense sensors are wireless transmitters and are
pre-calibrated at the factory to simplify activation and eliminate data
entry errors. VitalSense and its accessories can provide 24/7
temperature monitoring and data logging without wires or probes. |

Dermal
Temperature Patch
|
How
it works:
-
The dermal
patch can be placed at many different locations on the body to
record skin temperature
-
Multiple dermal
patches may be monitored simultaneously
-
Accuracy ±0.10ºC
( 32ºC to 42ºC )
-
Temperature
sensing range - 20ºC to 60ºC
-
Battery life of
10 days following activation
|

 |
VitalSense
Temperature Capsule
-
Easily
ingestible and disposable
-
Comparable in
size to a large gel capsule
-
32ºC to 42ºC
; ±0.10ºC guaranteed, ±0.05ºC typical
-
Resolution 0.01ºC
How
it works:
-
The monitor
activates the capsule
-
Transmissions
begin within 15 seconds after activation, and then occur four
times a minute
-
The capsule is
swallowed ( with liquid )
-
The capsule
easily travels and passes through the GI tract without affecting
other bodily functions
-
Transit time varies
with individual; 12 - 48 hours is typical
|

The
VitalSense Monitor:
-
Activates the sensors
-
Tracks and records sensor data
-
Displays data in a convenient numeric table or as a trend graph
-
Functions as the computer interface
-
Stores data in nonvolatile memory
-
Transfer data to PC
|
How
it works:
-
After sensor
activation, each sensor transmits its first value to the VitalSense
Monitor within 15 seconds and then takes another reading every 15
seconds. Transmission to the monitor occurs four times a
minute on a transmission schedule that is synchronized with the
monitor.
-
The subjects
wears the monitor which is then able to receive the sensor
transmissions. The monitor logs and displays the data.
-
Each monitor
can track and record up to 10 sensor parameters in normal mode
-
Data are easily
downloaded in just one step. The data are downloaded to a PC,
and are output as tab separated ASCII, or a Microsoft®
Excel® file.

Special
Function Medic Mode™
Medic Mode is a special
function that enables the VitalSense monitor to detect and record
signals from any VitalSense sensor that is within reception range.
It displays and records sensor ID, time stamp and temperature value for
each sensor transmission that is detected |
