Arcomed AG, a
global provider of IV pumps, and Capsule, the leading provider of medical
device connectivity, today announced an agreement that promotes
connectivity between Arcomed's IV pumps and hospital information systems
using Capsule's leading vendor neutral connectivity solution. The agreement
ensures that Arcomed's Volumed® µVP 7000 and Syramed® µSP 6000 IV pumps
and their UniQueCONCEPT(TM) IDMS (Infusion Data Management System) have the
most current connectivity software and creates a foundation for all future
Arcomed products to connect to any hospital information system.
"The connectivity between IV pumps and information systems is vital to our
customers," said Beat Rechsteiner, Director Global Business, at Arcomed AG.
"Being an industry leader, Arcomed has always driven technology which
increases patient safety and enhances workflow in the hospital.
Understanding the hospital's need to have all relevant information
available, Arcomed AG has developed their IDMS, called UniQueCONCEPT(TM).
As a logical consequence, the next level is interconnectivity and
integration. As the leading provider of device connectivity, Capsule was
the best choice we could offer our customers for integration because they
have a proven solution that is compatible with all hospital information
systems."
"Arcomed is an important partner for us," said Neil Henry, Product Manager
of Capsule. "As a leading global provider of infusion pumps and infusion
management solutions and as the number of clinical information systems
integrating infusion pump data increases, Arcomed recognizes the importance
of integrating timely infusion data directly into CIS and EMR systems as a
way to help improve the quality and efficiency of patient care. Capsule is
committed to increasing the number of medical devices that we support, and
will continue to sign partnerships with industry leaders like Arcomed to
help hospitals connect important medical device data into their clinical
information systems. We are in active development of the device drivers
for Arcomed's products with scheduled release for January, 2010."
