Philips Received the US FDA Nod for Latest Intellivue Patient Monitor Software Including Sounds Alarm Package
On February 6, 2024, Philips received the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its latest IntelliVue patient monitor software.
The Philips Sounds alarm bundle is one of the new solutions offered by the most recent IntelliVue technology. With this permission, the alarm bundle is now available in the United States and over 200 other countries.
Philips brought a fresh viewpoint to acute patient monitor alerts by collaborating with medical professionals and audio specialists. The company sought to round out and soften warning tones in collaboration with SenSound, a sound design agency. Additionally, by utilizing calminger alarm tones to suggest action or more subtly indicate status, it attempted to modify alert intervals.
IntelliVue reduces the alarm noise by up to 66%, improving the patient and caregiver experience.
“While alarms in acute care settings must be effective, they should be sensible, informative, and respectful of the surrounding environment and the people in it,” said Christoph Pedain, business leader, Hospital Patient Monitoring, Philips. Christoph mentioned, “Throughout the process, we asked for input from care providers, administrators, patients, and their families who are exposed to these alarms regularly and leveraged powerful data to help improve the experience overall.”
According to DelveInsight’s “Patient Monitoring Devices Market” report, the global patient monitoring devices market was valued at USD 35.21 billion in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 8.20% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2028, to reach USD 56.46 billion by 2028. The escalating demand for patient monitoring devices is primarily attributed to the increase in the prevalence of various chronic and lifestyle-associated disorders.

Toku Obtained CE and UKCA Marks for AI Cardiovascular Risk Assessments Through the Eye
On February 5, 2024, Toku, Inc., a commercial medical device company specializing in AI assessment of retinal images, announced that it has obtained CE and UKCA Marks for its patented CLAiR technology.
Using retinal images taken during a standard eye exam, CLAiR offers a precise, economical, non-invasive assessment of the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) at the point of treatment.
The only area of the vascular system that can be easily and non-invasively photographed is the retina, which is found in the rear of the eye. The CLAiR technology is easily integrated with current retinal cameras, enabling real-time assessments of cardiovascular disease risk that are as accurate as gold standard examinations, which can take weeks and usually involve blood tests. Through the analysis of minute changes in the retina and its vasculature, the AI-powered CLAiR technology determines elevated cardiovascular risk. The patient’s primary care physician might use the CLAiR results to advise preventative measures by starting a thorough cardiovascular evaluation.
Healthcare providers in various settings can accurately identify elevated cardiovascular risk in adult patients with no known history of cardiovascular disease, through CLAiR.
“I believe that a retinal image can be considered the ‘fifth vital’ along with temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, and blood pressure,” commented Toku CEO Associate Professor Ehsan Vaghefi. Ehsan added further, “The CE and UKCA marks allow us to bring CLAiR to patients across multiple geographies. In my vision of the future, a retinal image analysis is an integral part of a comprehensive screening for major diseases such as cardiovascular or kidney disease.”
Professor John Marshall, the holder of the original patents for refractive surgery and Emeritus Professor of Ophthalmology at both University College London & Kings College, London mentioned, “The eye is the only organ of the body where we can non-invasively view and image blood vessels. The advent of artificial intelligence has enabled the analysis of retinal images to predict the occurrence and time course of numerous diseases of the vascular system, including heart attacks and strokes. Such early risk identification allows timely modification of lifestyle and even earlier treatment to prevent or delay onset. Toku’s CLAiR algorithm is a breakthrough in the field of cardiovascular diseases and should result in lifesaving interventions and improved quality of life for innumerable individuals throughout the world.”
According to DelveInsight’s “Cardiac Monitoring Devices Market” report, the global cardiac monitoring devices market will grow at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2028.
