Device Purpose

The WAVE Clinical Platform is a software solution designed to enhance clinical decision-making by aggregating, storing, and displaying comprehensive patient data from diverse hospital information systems and medical devices for remote access by healthcare professionals. Utilizing a client-server architecture on existing hospital networks, it provides near real-time and retrospective views of physiological data, waveforms, and alarms, intended to supplement primary monitoring systems.

Summary

The WAVE Clinical Platform, developed by Excel Medical Electronics, LLC, is a software system designed for healthcare professionals in hospital environments. Its core function is to route, store, and display a comprehensive range of patient information, including physiologic data, waveforms, alarms, diagnostic results, and data from Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Clinical Information Systems (CIS). This capability supports remote consultation on patient status and enables clinicians to review critical near real-time and historical patient data, thereby aiding in informed clinical decision-making and facilitating timely patient care. The platform aims to integrate data from various supported devices and systems, making it accessible for review. Operating on a client-server architecture, the WAVE Clinical Platform utilizes existing hospital network infrastructure (both wired and wireless) and standard hardware for installation and data display on any web-enabled device. It gathers data from patient monitoring equipment, hospital information systems, and clinical analytics sources, offering both immediate and retrospective remote viewing, and can also forward these data to third-party systems. Notably, the platform does not control any connected medical devices. Data is archived and stored indefinitely on disk drives until deletion. It's crucial to understand that the WAVE Clinical Platform is intended to supplement, not replace, existing hospital monitoring or data management systems, and should not be the sole source for alarm notifications. Non-clinical performance evaluations, including system-level and user interface tests, have confirmed its safety, features, and operational performance.

Relevant Clinical Questions

  • Q1. What specific types of medical devices and physiological sensors has the WAVE Clinical Platform been validated to integrate with, and what is the process for adding new device compatibilities?; How does the platform ensure data integrity and security, especially when routing sensitive patient information across hospital networks and to third-party systems?; What are the typical latency times for displaying 'near real-time' data and alarms, and how might network variability within a hospital environment impact this performance?; Can the platform's data display be customized by different types of healthcare professionals (e.g., nurses, specialists, intensivists) to prioritize information relevant to their specific roles or workflows?; What mechanisms are in place for audit trails of data access and system interactions, particularly concerning remote consultations and clinical decisions made based on the platform's displayed information?
