Dräger Delivers Basic Component for Medical Cockpit™

Dräger Medical AGDräger Medical AG & Co. KG has delivered the first basic component for the planned Medical Cockpit™ of the Infinity® Acute Care System™ (Infinity ACS) complete system. Hardware Infinity C700 for IT - together with the existing Infinity Delta monitor component – displays all relevant patient data at the bedside on a 20" touchscreen. This combined solution (Infinity Omega with widescreen) combines the hospital's IT infrastructure with patient monitoring and enables, not only access to patient data management systems but also other relevant IT applications like radiological images or report servers in addition to the display of vital data at the patient's bedside. Infinity Omega with widescreen comes without a fan but also has extra USB ports and can display up to 25% more deflections (QRS complexes) in the electrocardiogram and up to 40% more trend data than before.

Patient monitoring, therapy function and information management
The Infinity ACS complete system will become the first global standardized platform with particularly efficient individual components for patient monitoring, therapy function and information management. Hardware Infinity C700 for IT, which is now ready for production, is a basic component of the future Infinity ACS and as a Medical Cockpit™, will become in the course of development an integral component of the system. The system will be scalable, mobile and integrated. “Our incredible R&D expenditure is justified mainly by the high level of customer use of the integrated system but also of course our competitive advantage,” emphasizes Stefan Dräger, chair of Drägerwerk Verwaltungs AG.

Between 2008 and 2010, the company will offer complete systems for intensive care, anesthesia and perinatal medicine. "In the future Infinity ACS will allow information to be processed so that doctors can make fast and well-founded decisions," says Stefan Dräger.

UKE and the Magdeburg University Hospital are among our first customers
Among the first customers of the new hardware component include clinics in the United Arab Emirates, Croatia, the UK, Switzerland and France in addition to the Hamburg-Eppendorf University Hospital (UKE) and the Magdeburg University Hospital.
