Requirement

For Malvestio, it is essential to measure and record a precise and reliable body weight value, enabling healthcare professionals to make case-specific assessment.

In addition, it is important to understand how the patient's weight is distributed across each load cell in order to verify the patient's presence in the bed and ensure prompt intervention by a medical staff.

Our solution

For the Hero bed, we used:

• CLM8 intelligent junction box;
• Instrument Manager supervisory software.

The added value

• The compact size of the CLM8 junction box simplifies installation on the bed while ensuring advanced performance with minimal space requirements.
• The CLM8 junction box performs automatic and detailed diagnostics of each individual load cell. This means any errors or anomalies in weight readings are immediately flagged, allowing them to be identified without delay.
• The load distribution analysis performed by CLM8 makes it possible to monitor alla patient changes. When interfaced with the algorithm developed by Malvestio, the junction box also helps prevent potential falls or episodes of patient agitation.
• The Instrument Manager software speeds up and simplifies the calibration process of the weighing system during installation and setup.
• The guided procedure and intuitive instructions are easy to understand and drastically reduce the likelihood of human error: the calibration process for medical devices is optimized and production timelines are reduced.
• The ease of integration between Instrument Manager and the system installed on Hero, combined with the advanced diagnostic functions of CLM8, have made it possible to create a customized interface tailored to operator needs while continuing to guarantee weighing accuracy.
