EBME Forums Forums Maintenance Technical Assistance Philips Intellivue XDS

Hi Chandana
Are there any new releases planned for the XDS software in the comming months?

Hello Mike,

As usual, we are always working on improvements and features, but I can't give you a specific timeframe as of yet. Once a new build is created and tested, it will be published on the XDS website at http://intellivue.medical.philips.com/xds

For those who are interested, I will also post on this forum when a new build is available for download.

The current build is Revision G.00.00 (Build 201).

If you have any suggestions about features/improvements we can add to the application, I would be happy to bring them to the attention of the developers.

Well, here is the new revision, way ahead of schedule

The IntelliVue XDS Application revision G.01.00 (Build 234) is now available for download from the XDS website: http://intellivue.medical.philips.com/xds/download

This new release adds 2 new features and fixes a minor bug:
1. Adds a "Disconnect" button to disconnect from the current monitor without closing the application
2. Adds support for the Vista Aero interface, allowing you to fully enjoy Microsoft Vista eye candy with XDS (patient monitor with glass window borders, anyone?)
3. Fixes a Date Of Birth parsing issue that can sometimes result in the monitor not showing up on the monitor list of the application

PS: the new software revision G.01.00 (Build 234) does not require any software upgrade from the monitor side.

As with the previous build, the printing functionality is supported for all monitors from IntelliVue revision A.2 upwards, electronic printing is available for all monitors from IntelliVue revision F.0 upwards, and XDS functionality is available for all monitors with IntelliVue G.0 and XDS connectivity options.

Wish you all a very happy and successful 2010.

Hello . I`m from Romania and I will be interested to reinstal and make proper settings for monitors. It is possible to download the latest software version and also a quick manual for it ? Thank you. Also I want to buy some spare parts for IntelliVue MP40 model. Can someone help me ? Thank you very much for attention and support !

Hello Bosch,

It is always possible to upgrade the software of an IntelliVue monitor to the latest revision (except in rare cases with very early models where a CPU upgrade maybe required). To do this, you need to contact your Philips support organisation, as they are the only ones who are authorized to perform this action. Software upgrade includes the latest user manuals.

If your need is for re-cloning of the configuration and restore the settings, this is possible using the IntelliVue Support Tool, which you can download from InCenter (https://incenter.medical.philips.com). You need to complete the support tool training and receive an licence key to unlock the features. For training on support tool, please contact your Philips Support organization.

InCenter also contains all the user and service manuals for IntelliVue monitors.

MP40 spare parts are also orderable via the support organization.

If you don't have a support contact, please send me a private message via this forum with your name, hospital details and contact number, and I will ask the support organization to contact you.

For those who are attending the HIMSS, you can see the future direction of IntelliVue XDS at the Philips booth (#1933). We are showing a work-in-progress, developed in collaboration with Microsoft.

XDS has made it to YouTube!

If you go to www.youtube.com and key in "Intellivue XDS" as the search string, you will see several video clips of an XDS Clinical Workstation (connected to a monitor in demo mode, obviously). Some of the clips even have annotations to explain what you are seeing.

The link below should take you direct to youtube search results:

IntelliVue XDS application revision H.0.1 (Build 303) is now available for download from the XDS website: http://intellivue.medical.philips.com/download

This build adds:
1. Support for dual display capability for iPC on MX800 - now you can simultaneously use the integrated display panel of MX800 as well as an external display with the iPC. The usage can be in clone mode or extended desktop mode.
2. Ability to run XDS LaunchPad in "silent mode" - in this mode, XDS LaunchPad will not show up as a window, but run in the background. Any desktop shortcuts that have been modified to receive patient context from the patient monitor will work perfectly while XDS LaunchPad runs in silent mode.
3. Improved start-up under Windows XP - the start up processes under Windows XP have been streamlined so that the services start up as fast as they do under Windows 7.
