Using computers in modern hospitals facilitates the implementation of the right treatments as well as the reduction of errors in treatment by processing, recording, tracking, and quickly gaining access to retrospective data. In addition, the advancement of technology has accompanied a gradual shift in trust between healthcare professionals and patients.

Technology is a powerful tool, but it is essential to make the right choices. As a result of computers that are not designed for their intended use, hospitals may be exposed to unforeseen risks. Consequently, it is essential to understand the differences between solutions developed with consumer-grade computers and those set with CureVision Medical computers and to utilize them accordingly. Consumer-class computers are attractive because of their price and accessibility, but they can become costly over time.

 

What is the difference between CureVision Medical Computers and Consumer Class Computers?

 

• Surfaces with antimicrobial properties

It is possible for surfaces that are frequently touched, such as computers, to harbour invisible agents such as germs, bacteria, and viruses. Bacteria and pathogens can breed and spread in these hidden areas. The need for sterilization has become widely recognized, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, in areas such as overcrowded hospitals. Medical Computers with antimicrobial surfaces should be placed in the regions requiring sterility, including patient rooms, intensive care rooms, and operating rooms, to prevent the spread of infection. The possibility of dangerous surface contamination is significantly reduced when a medical computer has an antimicrobial surface.

As a result of its waterproof and leak-proof design, a CureVision Medical Computer with the IP65 screen protection class can be disinfected more thoroughly than a consumer-grade computer.

• IP65-protected front frame

The front frame of CureVision Medical computers is protected against dust and water with an IP65 rating. As a result, disinfectant fluids can be sprayed directly onto the screen. Consumer-grade computers have a rough body and frame, preventing bacteria from spreading through disinfectants and wiping operations. No rough or indented surfaces on CureVision Medical Computers prevent disinfectants from penetrating for cleaning.

It is possible for chemicals, such as disinfectants used on consumer-grade displays, to leak into computer components and cause malfunctions or shorten the lifespan of the computer. Maintaining consumer-class computers in an emergency can be costly for healthcare facilities.

• The fanless design

Consumer-grade computer fans distribute dust, microbes, and bacteria, which should not be present in sterile environments. Therefore, in clean rooms where sterilization is essential, it is preferable to use computers with a fanless design. It is also crucial that the computers in the patient's or intensive care room run quietly to allow the patient to rest peacefully. A CureVision Medical Computer is fanless, which ensures quiet operation and prevents the spread of microbial contamination.

• The IEC60601-1 Standard and the EEC93-42 Medical Device Conformity Certificate - Patient protection

The electrical equipment used during surgery has a high potential for causing severe consequences for the patient in the event of an electrical failure. It is necessary to note that by connecting a consumer-grade computer that does not comply with the same standards and certificates as a medical device with EEC93-42 certification and complies with the IEC60601-1 standard, the chain will be broken, and the device will be rendered vulnerable. By providing CureVision medical computer with the EEC93-42 Medical Device Compliance Certificate and complying with EEC-60601 standards, you can protect your patients and your hospital from irreversible damage.

• Imaging

CureVision Medical computers' advantages are their high imaging quality, GPUs, CPUs, screens, and software compatibility. As a result of surgeons being able to focus more on their patients, it provides them with a better visual representation of the details during the surgery and dramatically increases the operation's success. In addition, appropriate software and high-resolution screens allow specialists to view and examine medical images more efficiently, resulting in faster detection times and more straightforward diagnoses.

DICOM Preset is available in CureVision Medical computers and enable you to view images stored in PACS files, such as ultrasounds and radiology. In addition, camera images from surgical procedures can be recorded and archived using PACS integration. CureVision Medical Computers provide easy and fast access to all the medical information required for surgery and afterwards. Consequently, the healthcare team can access all the information they need quickly and efficiently when diagnosing and monitoring a patient. Furthermore, CureVision Medical Computers can archive medical camera images for educational purposes or be used in congresses as case studies.

• The software

With CureVision Medical Computers, your hospital's HIS system will be integrated, patient records will be processed quickly, and patient confidentiality will be protected.

One of the most significant differences between CureVision Medical Computers and consumer-grade computers is its imaging, camera and video management, image transfer, recording, and archiving capabilities, as well as internal barcode and RFID systems.

By ensuring patient safety, reducing the use of surgical staff, reducing time and material costs, consulting in instantaneous emerging situations, and recording surgery to make an accurate diagnosis and treatment decisions, these modules provide benefits that are not available from a consumer-grade computer.

• Services related to sustainability and technical support

The modular and maintenance-free design of CureVision Medical Computers ensures fast and uninterrupted technical support with up to three years of warranty.

In conclusion

Medical computers are a significant investment, but they provide a high return on investment. The CureVision medical computer can be configured to meet the requirements of future applications using your existing technology network and software. Using this computer hardware in a hospital or clinic will achieve the highest level of patient monitoring. The goals of this product are to ensure the safety of the patient and to provide long-term durability. CureVision Medical Computers can help you improve patient satisfaction, increase your reputation as a healthcare provider, and save time and money.
