Audible alarms from medical devices should be heard by clinicians—not by patients. And especially by ICU and other critical care patients. That’s why we developed the Ascom silent medical alarms solution. So clinicians get the alerts and data they want. While patients get the rest they need.

Better care at lower cost

The Myco 4 is a rugged, Android Enterprise Recommended, easy-to-integrate smartphone that is purpose-built to deliver value. Designed to withstand harsh working environments and be shareable across staff and shifts, it helps you consolidate devices and lower the total cost of ownership. While helping you boost operational efficiency, improve patient-centered care and keep staff safe with advanced personal alarm features.

Introducing Ascom's silent medical alarms

We all want quieter ICUs. But what about reliably distributing bedside device alarm notifications? How can devices such as infusion pumps operate in silent mode—yet designated clinicians still get relevant alerts and data. See how Arcomed and Ascom worked together to solve these challenges.

Peace of mind

Ascom’s silent medical alarms solution increases peace of mind, so that important alarms won’t be missed. And it reduces caregiver cognitive burden by filtering non-actionable alarms; all this enabled by medical alarms being channeled to the appropriate professional.

Helping to provide a more comfortable environment and better recovery rates thanks to a quiet bedside environment in both ICU and stepdown units.

Improved patient wellbeing

It’s important to have a quiet environment for patient healing. Ascom’s silent medical alarms solution allows for closed doors, which promotes privacy and well-being, as well as enabling best-practice hospital hygiene to reduce the risk of infectious spread, such as hospital acquired infections.

Medical device integration

Ascom clinical communication and collaboration systems are interoperable with infusion pumps, ventilators and other medical devices. And as our solutions are modular, it’s easy to scale them for every size of facility from specialist clinics to entire health systems.

The need for a quiet environment

A quiet environment promotes patient recovery. Noise increases the risk of delirium for ICU patients, which results in prolonged length of stay and long-lasting neurocognitive impairments. Ascom’s reliable alarm management solution allows the silencing of certain medical devices thus reducing the noise around patients.
