Philips IntelliVue MX550

Philips IntelliVue MX550

Meet the Philips IntelliVue MX550—a versatile, high-performance patient monitor designed with the busy clinician in mind. This monitor not only tracks a wide range of vital signs but also offers a truly flexible workflow that adapts to your unique clinical setting.

At the heart of the MX550 is a crisp 15-inch touchscreen interface. Whether you’re adjusting patient parameters or simply reviewing data, the large display makes it effortless to see everything at a glance. The screen’s brightness automatically adjusts to ambient light conditions, ensuring clarity whether you’re working in a dim room or a brightly lit environment.

Part of Philips’ Multi-Measurement Module (MMS) system, the MX550 opens the door to an array of plug-in modules. This means you can customize the monitor to measure everything from anesthesia and intensive care parameters to cardiac, neonatal, and general care metrics. If you’re exploring the full range of Philips monitors, you might also be interested in the MX700, another stellar member of the IntelliVue family.
