Product Information
Videophone for Regular Telephone Lines or IP Networks
This videophone operates over broadband IP and PSTN networks. It uses two protocols: H.323 which delivers interoperability with other standards based conferencing equipment, and Packet Buddy™ protocol which permits use over the most basic broadband non QoS (quality of service) networks such as the public Internet.
The videophone has a dial-up keypad, speed dial and hands-free operation. Digital stethoscopy and pulse oximetry capabilities have been integrated into the design of the 156s. Stethoscope ear piece and chest piece may be connected directly to the care provider and patient videophones, respectively. Using visual information, the care provider guides the patient in accurate placement of the chest piece then listens to heart and lung sounds through the ear piece to make a rapid assessment of the patient’s condition.
