EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract:

A medical device management system includes a plurality of medical devices communicating with a local area network. A local network appliance forwards device data gathered from the medical devices to a cloud based service that processes and organizes the device data. The cloud based service may also be in communication with a sales database, an ERP system, a manufacturing database, and/or other databases. Users may request device data from the cloud based service using a conventional web browser. The device data may include location data, usage data, repair data, etc. In some cases, device data may come from a variety of sources and the cloud based service collates the multi-source data together into a set of records that form a digital replica of the actual medical device.
