KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 -- Global business aviation company, VistaJet has worked with RDT, a Philips company, and MedAire, to be the first charter operator to embed Tempus IC2 monitors within its entire Global fleet, granting access to leading medical support anytime, anywhere.

According to a statement, Tempus IC2 is a vital signs monitor with integrated telemedicine, designed for use in remote medical emergencies by non-medical experts.
