Dräger Medical unveiled its new remote access concept at the 9th World
Congress of the World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care
Medicine in Buenos Aires. This new concept enables physicians to remotely access their patients'
cardiopulmonary status in near real time by using an integrated remote access
solution.
Components of the new remote access concept include the
Infinity® Gateway Suite, which provides the tools to export vital signs and
ventilation data from Infinity® patient monitors and Evita series ventilators to
other systems; Infinity® Pocket WinView, a PDA application that enables
physicians to see patient information on a hand-held device; Infinity WebViewer,
a browser application that enables near real-time remote viewing of vital signs
and ventilation data on any networked PC; and Infinity® ChartAssist® ,a
Web-based electronic information system for the intensive care unit. To protect
data security, remote access is provided in accordance with the existing data
security guidelines of the hospital.
