Replacing Obsolete Embedded Computers in Medical Imaging & Manufacturing

Case Study

Sealevel partners with a worldwide leader in medical imaging system design and manufacturing. Their solutions include mobile X-ray, radiography, and non-destructive test equipment. Historically, the company relied on small-form-factor computers from Intel®. As their existing solution was discontinued, the company sought a drop-in replacement for their computers – specifically for test applications. A primary requirement for the new computers was long-term availability as they sought to avoid costly migrations and recertifications in the future.

Additionally, their I/O expansion requirements had grown and while they had relied on a computer plus I/O solution in the past, they sought a more integrated technology path.

Robust DAQ & Expansion for RFID Medical Equipment Tracking

Case Study

A Sealevel partner provides a complete software suite that monitors RFID tags on surgical equipment. With a patented method to install RFID tags onto every piece of equipment in a surgical kit, including scissors, scalpels, and spreaders, their software allows hospitals to track usage, storage, and sterilization. With studies estimating that 10-20% of a hospital’s inventory is misplaced annually, anywhere from $400,0000 to $1,500,000 is spent each year per hospital to replace missing medical equipment.

This medical equipment monitoring solution provides detailed reporting on inventory, maintenance, utilization, and sterilization of surgical kit items as well as various scopes including colonoscopes, endoscopes, and cardioscopes.

High-Reliability USB to Serial Supports Medical Test & Research

Case Study

Biomedical Device Consultants and Laboratories (BDC Laboratories) is an industry-leader in the design and manufacturing of cardiovascular medical test equipment. BDC Laboratories offers custom-designed hardware and silicone vessels to simulate blood flow and their in-house capabilities include heart valve, heart catheter and blood vessel graft testing. A series of new products required high-reliability USB to serial interfaces, so they reached out to Sealevel.

Perinatal Patient Monitoring

Case Study

A leading provider of perinatal monitoring and data management equipment used in hospitals needed a serial I/O intensive computing solution for a redesign of a fetal monitoring system. Sealevel designed and built the original product over 10 years ago, and the customer desired a refresh based on new technology. In the most recent revision, Sealevel upgraded the system to utilize Computer on Module (COM) architecture to simplify the design effort and guarantee easy technology updates in the future.

A Sealevel Story About Innovation: I/O & Computing for Healthcare

Video

This is the story of a medical company that needed a robust I/O system that didn’t exist… and the team that helped create it. This perinatal monitoring company needed a system with a specific I/O mix to transmit patient data. Sealevel delivered a system with a cable-free design, high reliability, backward compatibility, and future-proof COM architecture.
