FDA clears Philips Capsule Surveillance for remote patient monitoring

[Image from Philips]Royal Philips (NYSE:PHG) announced today that it received FDA 510(k) clearance for its latest Philips Capsule Surveillance system.

Amsterdam-based Philips designed its Philips Capsule Surveillance solution to aggregate patient data, analyze the data to generate actionable insights and alerts and send timely notifications to caregivers so they can intervene before any patient deterioration progresses further.

The company said in a news release that the latest release includes expanded interoperability into hospitals’ existing mobile clinical communication and collaboration tools, as well as electronic intensive care units and virtual care population health management systems. Philips said this design offers more visibility on live streaming data, waveforms, device alarms and contextual alerts.

Philips Capsule Surveillance allows clinicians to see patient data and patient monitor settings and alarms from multiple device types without…

FDA orders Philips Respironics to improve communications over ventilator recall

The FDA issued a notification order alerting Philips (NYSE:PHG) that its notification efforts on the recall of its ventilators have been inadequate to date.

On June 24, 2021, Philips Respironics recalled certain ventilators, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) machines due to polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam breaking down, allowing for the potential for the foam to enter a device’s air pathway, causing a range of potential health problems and toxic carcinogenic effects for the user.

Philips said last summer that it was no longer taking orders of sleep therapy systems as it handled the recall, which knocked it out of the sleep therapy market for at least year. The FDA classified the company’s recall of the DreamStation continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices as Class I, the most serious kind, in July 2021 as a result of the foam issue.

In a news release, the FDA confi…

Philips and DOD aim to detect COVID early with wearable devices and an algorithm

The Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit and Philips are studying the ability of Garmin watches and Oura rings to collect data that can offer an early warning of COVID-19 infection. [Photo courtesy of the DOD Defense Innovation Unit]Philips and the Pentagon are testing what they call “predictive bio-wearables” that can track changes in vital signs to offer an early warning of COVID-19 infection.

Philips and the DOD Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) have used Garmin watches — the Fenix 6 and Vivoactive 4 — and Oura rings on more than 11,000 test patients since June 2020. They’ve measured respiration rate, oxygen saturation and heart rate with the watch and heart rate and skin temperature with the ring.

An algorithm watches for changes detected by the cloud-connected devices and offers a score from 1 to 100, with a higher number representing a higher likelihood of infection. The researchers compare it to a check-engine light warning that something could be wr…
