Excel Medical has a BedMasterEx solution for all size research interests:
Clinical Research Organizations & Academic Research Settings Solutions
BedMasterEx Client Server Configuration: a completely scalable
enterprise system. Regardless if your need is to collect a single
care area or multiple hospitals across a wide area network, our solution
provides you a near unlimited data collection system. The client server
configuration is perfect for both the Clinical Research Organizations and
larger Hospital Research Projects.
Individual Researcher
BedMasterEx Laptop Configuration: designed to fulfill the needs of an individual researcher with a basic system that collects data from fewer than 5 patients at once. Our laptop configuration is intended for those requiring an entry-level solution for gathering clinical data.
Allowing you to enroll more patients, gather more data, and reduce
your clinical research project timeline.
Data Acquisition
Patient Monitors
BedMasterEx provides concurrent acquisition and indefinite storage
of all waveform, vital sign, and alarm event data from both GE and Philips patient monitoring systems. Data can be
collected and stored for an unlimited period of time.
- Single point of connection on the monitoring network for acquisition from all monitors
- Waveforms are continuously collected in raw format as processed by the patient monitor
- Vital Signs are collected at variable frequencies from every 5 seconds to 1 hour
- Alarm Events are captured throughout the patient’s entire monitoring encounter
Medical Devices
BedMasterEx provides a cost-effective way of collection, storage, and time synchronization of the data from a growing list of medical devices. Data may be collected either by connection to a GE or Philips patient monitor or by use of commercially available serial hubs. The later method utilizes a single mounted hub in each patient room. The serial hub has multiple ports and each integrated device is assigned a particular color coded port. Our collection of these unique data sets allows for trending and correlation of parameters exported from the medical devices. Our device list is driven by customer request and currently includes but is not limited to
- Infant warmers and incubators for temperature and weight (including the GE Giraffe and Panda products)
- Masimo and Covidien pulse oximetry devices
- Somanetics cerebral/somatic oximeters
- Light and sound meters
- Oxygen analyzers
Clinical Database
BedMasterEx is the most robust patient monitoring and peripheral medical device data collection system on the market with the unique ability to indefinitely store raw waveforms.
- Time synchronization of all collected data, waveforms, and video
- Data collected at variable intervals from 5 seconds to 1 hour
- Waveforms acquired continuously and stored as seen on monitor
- Data export to Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access for review and mining (standard SQL reporting and data mining tools can be used to analyze large data sets)
- Waveform and data export in Binary, XML, HL7 and other formats to interface with the facility’s EMR, HIS, and research applications
- Multiple server capability for a multiple department or facility System
- BedMasterEx SQL database runs on Microsoft Server 2003 or 2008, allowing for multiple sites to share a single data base
- Unlimited storage of data and waveforms via acquisition, backup, and archive server options (archival feature allows off-line storage of the data to the medium of your choice)
Digital Video
The BedMasterEx video option provides a solution that allows remote visual monitoring or retrospective clinical review
- A powerful tool in a private room environment. Features of the video application include:
- Video stream is synchronized and embedded with patient monitor waveforms
- Resolution up to 30 frames per second
- Remote viewing via a secure connection to the Hospital’s network (Citrix compatible)
