Nightingale Monitoring System Overview

The Nightingale Monitoring System™ provides high quality, hospital-grade monitoring capabilities at an affordable price.  The system is suitable for non-invasive clinical settings including the emergency room, triage, PACU, endoscopy suite, step-down unit, and subacute care unit, to name a few.

Nightingale PPM2

The foundation of the system is the Nightingale Personal Patient Monitor™ (PPM2).  The PPM2 connects to a patient via non-invasive sensors and monitors the patient's vital signs.  The PPM2 contains proprietary hardware and software needed to perform complex data acquisition and signal processing tasks, allowing it to produce accurate and reliable measurements of physiological parameters including 3-lead ECG, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, respiration and temperature. 

The PPM2 provides an easy to use knob and a simple set of control keys for user interaction, and a high brightness color display for enhanced visibility.  The PPM2 also contains built-in hardware for networking and printing.  The PPM2 raises a new standard of convenience, economy, and ease of use in patient monitors. 

Weighing only 4.5 pounds, including a 5 hour lithium ion battery, the PPM2 is one of the lightest full-featured vital signs monitors in the world.  Also, at less than 2.5 inches thin, the PPM2 fits easily into even the most crowded bedside environments.

Nightingale MPC

At the center of the system is the Nightingale Multi-Patient Console™ (MPC).  The MPC serves as the central monitoring station for the Nightingale Monitoring System. 

The Nightingale MPC connects to a network of Nightingale PPM2 bedside patient monitors, allowing a clinician to view information from up to 64 patients at once. 

The MPC is a Windows based workstation combined with advanced communications interface hardware.
