Wireless monitoring excellence recognised

Dräger Medical has been awarded the 2005 Frost & Sullivan award for technology and innovation excellence in the European markets for wireless patient monitoring in hospitals.

The company has been recognised for its pioneering technology solution – Infinity OneNet. “Dräger Medical has the unique distinction of being the only company in the market to integrate a hospital-wide wireless patient monitoring network,” commented Frost & Sullivan research analyst Aarati Ajay in his statement describing the award. The technology effectively establishes a single unified wireless infrastructure throughout the hospital that supports both monitoring and hospital information systems.

“With the adoption of Infinity OneNet, hospitals can elevate their monitoring networks to true IT standards of performance and reliability,” continued Aarati Ajay. Moreover, the compliance to the 802.3 Ethernet and Wi-Fi standards and the effective management of wireless bandwidth has helped the system provide effective segmentation of the network based on hospital needs. This is particularly suited to the transfer of lifecritical data such as patient alarms and vital signs information.
