Sphere enhances connectivity functionality of Proxima acute respiratory and metabolic monitoring device in critical care settings
Cambridge, UK – 29th June 2017 – Sphere Medical, an innovative company in critical care monitoring and diagnostics equipment, announces that its Proxima™ bedside blood gas monitoring system is compatible with Philips IntelliVue Patient Monitoring Systems through the Philips IntelliBridge Interface Module.
Sphere Medical’s Proxima is an acute respiratory and metabolic monitoring system used in critical care settings which supports proactive patient care, particularly at critical times. It enables rapid and frequent blood gas, glucose and electrolyte measurements directly at the bedside without the caregiver leaving the patient. Philips compatibility means that Proxima’s results can be recorded and displayed alongside other critical monitoring information, such as blood pressure, ECG, EEG, respiratory rate, cardiac output and temperature. Such consolidated information gives a comprehensive patient overview, enhancing patient management. With the increasing adoption of electronic data record systems in critical care settings, Philips compatibility will also give Proxima customers a very simple means of integrating their data into electronic medical record systems (EMR).
Commenting on the additional point-of-care connectivity functionality of the Proxima bedside blood gas analyser, Wolfgang Rencken, CEO of Sphere Medical said, “We are extremely pleased with the confirmation that Proxima is compatible with Philips IntelliVue patient monitors through the Philips IntelliBridge EC10 medical device interfacing module. Many of our customers use Philips monitoring and data management systems and this connectivity further helps the practical implementation of Proxima as an acute respiratory and metabolic monitoring device in critical care settings.”

About Sphere Medical
Sphere Medical (AIM: SPHR.L), is an innovative point-of-care (POC) medical device company. Its CE marked Proxima™ platform measures blood gases, electrolytes and metabolites at the patient's bedside and aims to improve patient care and reduce health system costs.
Proxima revolutionises conventional POCT as it is attached directly to the patient through their arterial line and is ready to use instantly. Following analysis all blood is returned to the patient, so blood gas and glucose can be measured frequently and easily. As near real time results are delivered without the caregiver leaving the patient’s bedside, time to result is significantly reduced compared to conventional benchtop analysers. This enables earlier interventions and closer patient management, which is vital in fast changing critical situations.
The device is currently sold directly to the critical care market via Sphere Medical's sales force in the UK, Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium and will be sold via distributors in Italy, Spain and Austria.
