Siesta
Revolutionary Diagnostics for a Wireless World
Laboratory
Overview
The Siesta System is a new wireless, multi-functional, ambulatory recording device. It enables recording, monitoring, storage and transfer of up to 32 physiological data inputs, such as brain, heart and muscle activity. In addition it has an Oximeter interface for heart rate and oxygen saturation as well as supporting up to 32 external DC signal inputs for recording the output of other devices such as pH meters.
There are applications for the Siesta System to assist in neurological disorder diagnoses such as long term epilepsy monitoring and ambulatory EEG recording.
Using the latest in networking technology, investigations can be conducted at any distance, from the room next door to the other side of the world.
Siesta Portable EEG System
The Siesta is the first of a new family of wireless products that the Company has developed to provide greater flexibility to the physicians and comfort for the patients. Siesta also allows remote monitoring and recording of all channels to the computer hard disk via a wireless Ethernet link. This wireless capability gives physicians the option of monitoring a patient's physiological data while the patients are out of bed, helping to ensure they capture critical clinical events on the recording. The use of wireless products such as the Siesta also provides the opportunity for hospitals or medical clinics to reconfigure hospital beds without incurring substantial capital works expenditure. It allows the hospital to utilise almost any bed as a virtual sleep clinic or monitoring bed.
Use Siesta for Portable Testing around the Hospital
• Easily take Siesta, along with a notebook computer to monitor the data, to any location in the hospital. No Cables to Run.
• Or, just plug and APM (Access Point Module) into the closest network access. The APM will pick up the radio signal and allow you to monitor the patient form the laboratory. Again, no cables.
Features
Revolutionary Wireless Data Transmission
Gather data in ways you never dreamed possible:
Siesta's Ethernet radio link provides the clinician with testing options and opportunities never before available. Your patients are free to move about while you continue to monitor the data. Set up a testing room in just minutes. Use Siesta in PSG/EEG lab or as your best solution for ambulatory testing.
Back-lit patient event button with time and date display.
