DATA TECHNOLOGY FOR THE MEDICAL SECTOR
Hospitals and medical centers place particularly high demands on data technology. IT-based diagnostics and treatment systems generate enormous amounts of data which have to be transferred, analyzed, processed and stored. This data must be accessible at all times; in case of an emergency as well as during the widespread mobile visits. For patient monitoring, the data recorded has to be reliably, interpreted and forwarded in time.
State-of-the-art technology ensures reliable operation in medical care and nursing. E-health – computer-supported health care – is widespread these days. Even beside diagnosis and treatment, the amount of data to be transmitted is continuously increasing. In order to successfully meet the ever tougher demands on efficiency and profitability, while at the same time ensuring an increasing level of care, modern hospital operations are depending on the modern data technology.
This applies both for the medical network as for the administration with its numerous offices. On top of this comes the increased demands for convenience and entertainment by patients, who expect high quality Wi-Fi, IP-TV, Internet and telephone services. The MICROSENS Medical Switch helps to meet these demands in an economical efficient way.

MOPP – MEANS OF PATIENT PROTECTION
MOPP measures the degree of protection of a patient against electric shocks. This protection is achieved by design provisions such as the insulation of electrical and electronic devices. One MOPP stands for single insulation, two MOPPs for double or reinforced insulation with a dielectric strength of 4,000 volts (4 kV). This is specified in the international standard IEC 60601-1, which has been adopted in the European Union as EN 60601-1. Our Medical Micro Switch has a minimum dielectric strength of 4 kV and 2 MOPP according to EN 60601-1 / IEC 60601-1.
