Intended Use

The Quantitative Sentinel (QS) System is a software application that is intended for use as clinical data management system (also referred to as a clinical information system - CIS). The primary function of the system is the management of clinical data (whether manually or automatically acquired) for the purpose of providing integrated, ready and organized access to patient and/or clinical data that would normally be provided on paper records and/or separate clinical systems/devices. The QS System serves as a decision support tool as well as an electronic medical record. The QS System operates on off-the-shelf software and hardware. The device is intended for use in a hospital/clinical environment.

Device Story

QS System is a software-based clinical information system (CIS) for hospital/clinical environments. It integrates clinical data from manual entry or automated acquisition (HIS, physiologic monitors). It functions as an electronic medical record and decision support tool, organizing data typically found in paper records or disparate systems. It operates on off-the-shelf hardware and network architectures (Ethernet, Token Ring, or IBM Wireless LAN). Clinicians access integrated patient data to support clinical decision-making. The system includes alert capabilities (Spectra Alerts) to notify providers of clinical events.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only; software and environment extensively tested to meet design requirements.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based clinical information system; operates on off-the-shelf computer hardware; supports Ethernet, Token Ring, and IBM Wireless LAN network architectures; interfaces with Hospital Information Systems (HIS) and physiologic monitors; provides clinical data management and decision support alerts.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in hospital/clinical environments for the management of patient and clinical data, serving as an electronic medical record and clinical decision support tool.
