ISTANBUL--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Welch Allyn, a leading medical diagnostic device company that delivers pragmatic innovation at the point of care, and Biçakcilar, the new Welch Allyn distributor for Turkey, will showcase connectivity-ready devices designed for use in settings requiring interoperability, portability, flexibility and efficiency at HIMSS Turkey 2014 in Istanbul June 4 and 5. Trained personnel will be on hand in booth 123 to demonstrate the Welch Allyn CP 150™ ECG along with other connectivity-ready Welch Allyn devices including the Connex^® Vital Signs Monitor and Connex^® Integrated Wall System.

According to Hisham Hout, senior vice president, Europe, Middle East, North Africa and the Indian Sub-continent at Welch Allyn, the solutions Welch Allyn will feature at HIMSS Turkey 2014 are a direct result of the growing demand for connected and configurable solutions that anticipate and respond to unique healthcare provider needs around the world. Now available across Turkey through an authorized distributor agreement with Biçakcilar, the products offer easy-to-use features and options designed to provide clinicians with access to information and the technology they need to help them provide enhanced patient care.

“The solutions we will feature at HIMSS Turkey allow providers to quickly and efficiently collect and record patients’ vital signs and 12 lead diagnostic ECGs, which are important in fast-paced clinical settings,” said Hout. “Our vision is to help transform care, wherever patients and healthcare professionals connect, with measurable improvement in value so that all can thrive. The technology we will showcase is designed to help reduce risk, improve patient outcomes and improve staff productivity, giving clinicians more time to focus on their most important task—providing better care for their patients so they, too, can thrive.”

Welch Allyn CP 150™

The user-friendly Welch Allyn CP 150 was designed to help improve workflow. The seven-inch, color touch-screen display with an integrated user interface eliminates the need to track between the display and keyboard and allows for fast and easy entry of patient data to help save time and reduce errors. A three-, six- or 12-lead preview display is also incorporated into the touchscreen, which helps easily and efficiently identify connection problems. An instant-on feature powers up the device quickly to take an ECG at a moment’s notice and the advanced filters provide optimal ECG trace quality to ensure accurate readings. The CP 150 can be transported easily with the battery-powered operation and up to 100 test results can be stored on the device. ECG results can also be transferred directly to a remote network drive or USB memory stick for additional storage or uploaded to the practice’s data management system through the Welch Allyn CardioPerfect^® Workstation.

Connex^® Vital Signs Monitor

The Welch Allyn Connex Vital Signs Monitor (VSM) is a full-color, touchscreen device that acts as three devices in one—providing comprehensive patient documentation on a single display. This documentation includes automatic measurements such as heart rate, blood pressure, temperature and pulse oximetry; manual parameters such as respiration, height, weight and pain level; and modifiers such as body position, O₂ therapy details and others. The Connex VSM can be configured for spot-check monitoring with intervals or triage modes and is ideal for sites using an electronic medical record (EMR) or hospital information system (HIS).

Welch Allyn Connex^® Integrated Wall System

The Welch Allyn Connex Integrated Wall System (IWS) incorporates nearly 100 years of innovation into one unit. The system features traditional Welch Allyn physical assessment instruments—an integrated ophthalmoscope and otoscope—combined with twenty-first century vital signs assessment technology from the Connex VSM. The Connex IWS can be configured for spot-check monitoring with intervals or triage modes and is ideal for sites using an electronic medical record (EMR) or hospital information system (HIS). It is designed to significantly reduce time spent on manual transcription and instances of human error and has the ability to automatically transfer data to an EMR.
