Integrate intelligent technology and ergonomics to enhance the safety and operational experience of medical devices

In recent years, the Chinese government has attached great importance to the ageing of China's population and has worked hard to find solutions. Among them, it is expected that in the next five years, China's private enterprises, state-owned enterprises and consumers will spend 8 trillion yuan in health care, which is three times the current level. In 2014, China also further lifted the control of drug prices, and introduced policies to speed up the examination and approval of medical equipment. Inspired by these factors, the development of medical devices in China has been promoted.

Today, medical devices are used in virtually every aspect of healthcare activities, including diagnostic and imaging equipment, carts, displays, smart dispensing systems, blood and other controlled items. In the process of medical device development, how to improve the performance, mobility, usability of the device and ensure the security and management of the patient's medical record, the strict management and control of the delivery and management of drugs, etc., have brought new challenges to medical device manufacturers. .

Integrating ergonomics into medical devices

Among the many medical devices, the rapid development of touch screen and imaging technology has changed the installation requirements for displays in medical device applications. For example, today's medical devices are typically mounted on mobile carts that allow them to move between wards. In order to make medical devices more mobile, adding mounting brackets and positioning arms to these applications will help medical device designers achieve frequency screen positioning, and use these instruments to reduce operator fatigue and get better Human engineering experience.

Southco's display positioning technology meets the best ergonomics and features precise resistance levels and durability. Among them, the display screen of the medical device can provide support when it must be kept still while being easy to move during repositioning. It protects against possible vibrations and collisions during operation and transportation of the instrument and prevents migration. In addition, the operator can zoom in or out of the display as needed and move in multiple directions and angles. Southco's display positioning technology enhances the reliability and durability of medical devices and reduces the need for maintenance or adjustment during operation.

In addition, the constant torque hinge in the positioning technology utilizes an engineered friction system to provide continuous displacement resistance and can be used in a variety of different medical devices to effectively open/close door panels on the device, such as wall drawing platforms. , medical cabinets and lids for heavy diagnostic equipment.

Southco's constant torque hinges offer a wide range of advantages. The torque-reducing hinge provides braking throughout its range of motion, allowing the panel of the wall-drawing platform to remain in place after opening, allowing users to easily adjust the angle of the keyboard pallet. . In addition, the balance hinge provides lift assistance for medical devices, so heavy objects can be lifted with little force, reducing the burden on the back and shoulders, allowing objects such as heavy trays or lids to be easily closed. In other positioning aspects, such as in a fully open or fully closed position, the card hinge can provide positive retention at a predetermined location. As a result, the health care provider can keep the panel open and achieve fast access with both hands free.

Electronic access control solution for securing equipment

In addition, with the increasing demand for patient safety today, the safety-related issues of healthcare organizations are also becoming more important. For example, workstations with patient records built-in computers are usually in areas with high traffic and must be strictly controlled. Workers must ensure that lost workstation keys are avoided and criminals sneak into stealing patient data to violate patient privacy. In addition, in order to avoid medical errors, it is necessary to ensure the safety of drugs, blood and other substances in the stock and to avoid theft and exchange of samples as much as possible. To this end, the use of electronic access control solutions is one of the ways to achieve "smart" medical institutions to improve security.

An electronic access control solution that eliminates key management issues for healthcare organizations. With the implementation of the electronic access control system, it is easy to add or remove electronic voucher from the authorized entry and exit list without the need to distribute the key. Southco's R4-EM is the heart of the Electronic Access Control System (EAS), which can be controlled from a variety of access control devices, from stand-alone keyboards to fully networked proximity cards or biometric fingerprint systems. It can monitor incoming and outgoing situations by establishing an audit trail for local or remote monitoring. Whenever a cabinet with an electronic access door is opened or closed, a signal is sent to the monitoring system to confirm and record the entry and exit. It not only provides switch information, but also provides additional data based on specific configurations, including which credentials are used by health care personnel to drive access control devices and how long they are active, and to record whether the person has activated the access electronically or mechanically.

The R4-EM is also compatible with existing building security access control systems. For healthcare organizations that are considering new or replacement equipment, retaining all or part of the existing system can result in significant cost savings. As a locking device and smart access interface, the electronic access control solution provides a full range of retrofit options for healthcare organizations to update and control existing medical cabinets.

Guan Shouhua, general manager of Sosko Asia Greater China and Southeast Asia, said: "The software-proven, Southco's electronic access control solution ensures the safety of healthcare institutions' inventory. Equipment manufacturers can provide both intelligent locking mechanisms and Products that integrate with their existing security systems help healthcare organizations build a multi-layered security network."

The rapid development of China's medical care has made new challenges to the design of medical devices. Enhancing the ergonomic design and safety of devices is a future industry trend. Southco will continue to develop related solutions to help manufacturers and design engineers to achieve A more user-friendly instrument.
