With TEGRIS Maquet Sets New Standards in OR Integration
RASTATT, Germany, July 24, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
The new TEGRIS system for OR integration is characterised by its powerful and compact
nature. At around a quarter of the size of its predecessor, it is a flexible and
space-saving unit for use in the operating room. Nevertheless, it still maintains the
well-known strengths of Maquet OR integration. All image sources, such as endoscopes,
microscopes and OR field cameras, regardless of manufacturer, can be connected to the
Tegris system thus guaranteeing flexibility in terms of endoscopy and imaging equipment.
In this way, modern, new or further developed devices can also be easily integrated into
the operating room environment at a later date.
Defined workflow for increased safety
Innovative functions, for example, a navigation area individually adapted to aid the
surgeon in their workflow. The user interface thus enables individual steps, from A
through to Z, to be carried out safely. Interfaces to internal information systems, for
example, an HIS or RIS, enable all patient data to be made available at the touch of a
button. This can then be viewed by the entire OR team on all monitors. The integrated
safety checklist designed to increase patient safety based on WHO principles is an
additional benefit.
Modularity brings efficiency
"Over the years, we have fitted several hundreds of operating rooms around the world
with OR integration technology. Tegris is the result of the experience gained on the basis
of user feedback," says Bernd Binder, Product Manager for OR Integration at Maquet. The
mapping of optimum workflows and the associated safety for patients and surgeons forms the
foundation of the concept and, at the same time, brings about excellent efficiency. This
is made clear by the multi-faceted modular ways in which the systems are used and which
are characterised by a high proportion of software. In this way, the hospital is able to
integrate additional components without major installation work and the associated OR
downtime. The required functionalities are simply installed by MAQUET Service on request,
even via remote access or by the client themselves.
Tegris replaces the AV Conference and AV Compact systems and is available as of July
2012.
