Intended use of IBM Integration Bus Healthcare Pack
IBM Integration Bus Healthcare Pack (the Program) is capable of being used as a medical device data system to transfer, store, and convert data from one format to another, and may occasionally transmit data to bedside medical devices (for example, for polling and telemetry).
- Use to control any bedside medical device for clinical or treatment purposes (for example, but without limitation, the administration of medication, anesthetics, saline solutions and the like).
- Use for active patient monitoring (that is, where the Program is used as the sole means of monitoring life-critical patient data, for example, heart rates).
- Use for decision support (that is, where the Program is used as the sole means to determine patient-specific treatment or immediate clinical action).
- Use in any active monitoring that depends on the timeliness of data transmission.
