Highlights
Connecting high-tech and low noise with our Silent Care Package: Improve caregiver alarm handling by forwarding alarms from connected bedside devices from assigned patients to a central dashboard and mobile application. Reliable forwarding based on the SDC standard allows alarms to be silenced in the patient's room, reducing noise and contributing to the creation of a silent ICU.
Reliable alarm distribution
85-95 % of alarms in an ICU do not require an immediate clinical intervention. Koomen E. et al. (2021). Reducing medical device alarms by an order of magnitude: A human factors approach.

Receiving the clinical alarms of their patients wherever they are in the unit will enable greater mobility and prioritised workflows. The alarms from the medical devices are reliably distributed to a central dashboard and mobile devices in a Confirmed Distributed Alarm System according to IEC 60601-1-8:2020.
Create a healing environment
Noise is a modifiable risk factor for sleep disturbance, circadian rhythm disruption and the development of delirium. Theuerkauf NU, Putensen C, Schewe JC. Noise Reduction on the ICU.

Use our Silent Care Package and reduce the burden of alarm noise and the resulting consequences for your patients.

The audio-off state and alarm distribution will be re-activated automatically when the network connection is re-established.
Safe and secure open ecosystem
Based on the open international ISO/IEEE 11073-SDC standard for medical device interoperability in high acuity areas, authenticated and authorised medical devices can distribute their alarms within the on-premise system. The data is encrypted when tr … More informationansferred and in a high-quality medical grade. Working together with our European partners Ascom and B. Braun, the Silent Care Package bi-directionally facilitates alarm distribution between devices and systems as a multi-vendor solution. Flexibly add further compatible devices over time.
