we have built the MX550 with a battery back up to give
you additional monitoring confidence. If your facility
is subject to power outages, the MX550 continues
monitoring uninterrupted.
See it clearly and quickly

It is important to find what you need right away. The 15” touchscreen
of the IntelliVue MX550 makes it easy. You will also recognize the familiar,
easy-to-use interface, common throughout the IntelliVue monitoring
portfolio. This consistency makes training and use as simple as possible.

Whether you are examining the patient in a brightly lit

environment or allowing the patient to rest with room
lights dimmed, you won’t have to adjust the monitor’s
display brightness. The display, with its ambient light
sensor, automatically adjusts screen brightness to maintain
readability in nearly any lighting environment.

The monitor also has built-in Advanced Clinical Solutions that

provide tools to summarize and visualize complex clinical data
and their interactions. Multiple streams of information come
together in one, intuitive view.

Visual guidance for situational

awareness

Designed to help caregivers increase situational

awareness, the Philips Visual Patient Avatar translates
health parameters into visual patient data, showing
clinicians precisely what the numerical data means
in practice. Bringing clear visual insights into patient
data exactly where this information is needed most can
help support efforts to reduce stress and free up time
for patient care - paving the way for enhanced patient
outcomes.

Fit monitoring
around workflows
Today your workflows need to adapt in the blink of an eye.
The IntelliVue MX550 is scalable to cover most critical care monitoring
requirements as patient acuity levels change.
It supports IntelliVue multi-measurement modules (such as
the IntelliVue X3 and MMX) and extension modules.

Diversity of measurements
If you are in a perioperative environment, you can
use the IntelliVue MX550 to include anesthesia gases,
and bispectral index and neuromuscular transmission
measurements in your monitoring. If you are in a critical
care unit, it can provide you with a comprehensive view
of the patient status including continuous cardiac output,
venous oxygen saturation, or 12-lead ST monitoring (with
full or reduced leadsets). And for neonatal patients, you
can supplement your monitoring with dual pulse oximetry,
transcutaneous gas monitoring, and low flow end tidal CO2
(EtCO2) measurements.

The MX550 also supports the “silent ICU” by allowing

different levels of alarm sound at the bedside and remotely.
For example, the monitor could be silent, allowing the
patient to rest uninterrupted, while the Event Notification
system could alert the caregiver from their smartphone
via the CareAssist application. And for those occasions

pathogens, helping you in your battle against hospital
acquired infections.
