on the nose bridge. The cushion comes in four sizes Small, medium, large and
medium wide. The Fit Pack includes all 4 cushion sizes (S, M, L, MW) and 1
medium sized frame.
Children’s Respiration
Monitor
In support of the
fight against child mortality as a result of pneumonia, Philips has developed
an affordable respiration monitor that automatically and accurately measures
the breath rate of a child under the age of 5. The Philips Children’s
respiration monitor has been specifically designed for use in low resource
areas. Making it power independent and robust so
it withstands and can operate in harsh
conditions.
It's clinical decision
support functionality provides instant feedback, to support the care provider
in determining a correct diagnosis, clearly indicating the risk of
fast-breathing rate of the child, based on the WHO IMCI guidelines.
Philips Fetal Heart
Rate Monitor
Philips Fetal Heart
Rate monitor is a robust, portable, power-independent monitor. It has built-in
batteries that provide up to 10hours of use and when no mains supply is
available is available, cranking the wind-up handle for 1min provides power up
to 10mins of operation. What more, the robust outer casing makes it ideal for
usage in remote and rural areas. A built-in loudspeaker helps the operator hear
the heart rate while the display screen indicates detectable heartbeat, beats
per minute and low battery indication. As a result one can quickly identify any
abnormal fetal heart activity and take prompt action.Combined with the Mobile
Obstetrics Monitoring (MOM) software, the Fetal Doppler provides rural health
workers with a never before reach to extend pregnancy care to women in towns
and cities in the hinterland. Light, robust and easy to use, the power
independent nature of the device is an enormous advantage for health workers in
rural and tier-2 markets.
Philips
e-alert System:
The
Philips e-alert is a proactive, sensor-based way to enhance uptime. It is an
intelligent hardware- or software-based tool that keeps a close virtual eye on
your imaging solutions. Using powerful sensor technology, it continuously
monitors all key parameters of the client’s MRI systems – and issues an
automatic alert if something is amiss. To ensure MRI systems can deliver the
quality, efficiency, and uptime needed, critical parameters – such as cooled
water supply, helium level and humidity – must be just right. Achieving the
ideal balance of these environmental factors is key to optimum system
performance. Insight into these metrics and knowing when and how to respond if
an issue arises are essential to maintaining uptime, improving efficiency, and
reducing maintenance cost and effort. This proactive approach supports the
collaboration between the healthcare provider and Philips to respond quickly,
helping to identify and eliminate issues before they can impact operations.
Philips
Air Purifier Series 3000:
The new
Philips Air Purifier Series 3000 is an innovative extension to the existing air
purifier portfolio which offers world-class Aerasense technology, respiratory
particle feedback, a special allergen mode, new filters, improved airflow and
an Aerodynamic design. The Philips Air Purifier Series 3000 provides most
accurate real-time PM 2.5 feedbackwhich helps you to monitor and the air
quality. A first in the industry, Philips’ Aerasense technology helps detect
PM2.5 and common airborne allergens with high accuracy that can be benchmarked
with 15K Euro Professional sensor. It also has a special allergen mode,
extremely effective in removing most common allergies. The new NanoProtect S3
filters remove 99.97% airborne allergens, have a bigger capacity and offer all
round protection from fine particles, harmful gases, odor and must bacteria and
viruses. Providing the most accurate real-time indoor air quality count (PM2.5)
which helps you control the air quality, Philips India has designed the new
Philips Air Purifier 3000 to meet the requirements of today’s pollution riddled
lifestyle.
Philips
Air Purifier Series 6000:
The
latest Philips Air Purifier Series 6000 is a heavy duty air purifier designed
for larger spaces. Indoor air pollution is not only a problem for homes, rather
it affects any enclosed space. The air condition in most large spaces like
offices, restaurants and not to mention places like hospitals where the
allergens and microbes are present in abundance, have more inflow of
pollutants; hence need a more powerful solution. The Philips Air Purifier
6000 with its with Vitashield IPS, TwinForce aerodynamics design and cutting
edge Aerasense technology with real time numerical feedback, delivers superior
purification against pollution and common allergens. Its TwinForce aerodynamics
design effectively doubles its capacity to clean air, making it suitable for larger
spaces. It also provides cleaner air with up to 8 times less chance of error in
indicating air quality level is safe, compared to today's industry commonly
used Infrared LED sensor with the Aerasense technology. The upgraded VitaShield
technology effectively removes particles as small as 20 Nanometers (more than
100 times smaller than upper limit of PM2.5), including common allergens,
bacteria and some viruses. It is a powerful and highly effective solution for
commercial spaces that have a high inflow of pathogens and allergens and are
most susceptible to damage due to indoor air pollution.
