Functional alarm systems focusing on the correct functionality of interoperability architecture are needed to ensure patient safety and high assurance in connected medical devices.
The paper highlights the necessity of functional alarms for interoperable medical device architectures to ensure high-assurance systems and patient safety.
Interoperability alarms merit clinical vigilance for connected device safety; leaves open standardized validation in high-assurance systems.
Alarms are essential for medical systems in order to ensure patient safety during deteriorating clinical situations and inevitable device malfunction. As medical devices are connected together to become interoperable, alarms become crucial part in making them high-assurance, in nature. Traditional alarm systems for interoperable medical devices have been patientcentric. In this paper, we introduce the need for an alarm system that focuses on the correct functionality of the interoperability architecture itself, along with several considerations and design challenges in enabling them.
