Technology: Pick and go
 Transporting patients between wards while monitoring their vital signs takes time and effort. Clinical staff have to disconnect the bedside monitoring system and connect the patient to a transport monitor.
This process can also be dangerous because the patient is not being monitored while the monitors are being exchanged. Monitoring functionality is also limited during transport, with the risk that the patient’s vital data during this period may be lost. Installed at Zurich University Hospital, the Infinity Delta monitor series from Dräger ensures that when a patient is moved, the monitor does not need to be exchanged.
This has been achieved using the patented Pick and Go technology of the Infinity Delta monitors. At the bedside, the monitor is placed on the Infinity Docking Station for connection to power and networking. During transport, the monitor is removed from its station and moves with the patient, seamlessly switching from hard-wired to wireless and retaining all of the bedside settings. At the new ward, the monitor is placed back onto a docking station.
The patient benefits as they can be moved more quickly and are monitored continuously, both locally and at the central monitoring station.
