Indications for Use
The Cisco TelePresence VX Clinical AssistantTM (VX
Clinical Assistant) enables secure and effective audio/
video communication between multiple healthcare
providers and between providers and patients.
The system transmits real-time audio and video
captured by a high-definition camera and integrated
microphone. It also receives real-time audio and
video from a corresponding functionally like system
in a remote location. Finally, the VX Clinical Assistant
supports transmission of real-time audio and video
from peripheral audio/visual medical devices, which
may be connected to standard audio and video inputs
provided on the system.
The VX Clinical Assistant is intended to facilitate remote
provider/patient and provider/provider consultations.
These consultations should always be conducted with
a licensed medical professional physically in the room
with the patient.
Contraindications
The VX Clinical Assistant is not intended to substitute
for the in-person physical examination of a patient or
as a substitute for direct medical intervention. It is also
not intended for real-time, active, or online patient
monitoring, nor is it intended to provide time sensitive
data or alarms. The VX Clinical Assistant does not
support transmission of numerical telemetric/serial
data and is not intended for use with non-audio/visual
medical devices.
