Philips Intellivue MP5 Patient Monitor

FDA-Cleared Indications

• Monitoring and displaying physiologic parameters in patients under the care of healthcare professionals.
• Monitoring parameters such as electrocardiographic heart rate, noninvasive blood pressure, and oxygen saturation when the applicable modules and accessories are configured.
• Providing alarms and recorded or displayed trends to help clinicians recognize changes in a patient's monitored condition.

Clinical Applications

• Continuous vital-sign monitoring of hospitalized patients.
• Monitoring patients in medical-surgical and other general-care environments.
• Monitoring patients during transport or short-term observation when the appropriate monitor configuration is used.
• Displaying physiologic data and alarms for clinician review.

Reported off-label uses

• Use as part of hospital early-warning or rapid-response scoring systems to identify possible clinical deterioration.
• Use in clinical studies to collect or analyze trends in monitored vital signs.

Off-label use: these uses are reported in practice or the literature but are not part of the FDA-cleared indications. Physicians may use a cleared device off-label based on their medical judgment; the manufacturer may not promote off-label uses.

Practical Considerations

• This is a monitoring system, not a treatment device; it does not diagnose or treat the underlying cause of an abnormal reading.
• Available measurements depend on the installed modules, software, cables, sensors, and disposable accessories. Accessories must be compatible with the specific monitor configuration.
• The monitor should be used by trained healthcare personnel, with alarm limits and sensor placement checked for each patient.
• MRI compatibility depends on the exact monitor, components, and location. The MP5 and its accessories should not be taken into an MRI environment unless Philips labeling specifically permits that configuration.
• Poor sensor contact, motion, low perfusion, electrical interference, or incorrect cuff size can produce inaccurate readings; abnormal values should be assessed clinically.
