AlertManager:
Putting Device Alarms in Context
iSirona’s AlertManager is a clinical software application that sends alerts to a pre-determined location when alarms are generated by integrated medical devices. This functionality can facilitate a more efficient approach for managing alarms in the clinical environment, since the client can tailor our application to their specific work-flow.
In addition to this functionality, AlertManager offers another very special benefit—alerts can be grouped with supportive information that is defined by the client and when possible, based upon industry standards. This supportive information can help clinicians determine the appropriate context when reviewing alarms, which facilitates more informed decisions about patient care and a possible reduction in alarm fatigue.

Using Systems Integration to Advance Alarm Functionality
The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) published iSirona CEO Dave Dyell’s thoughts on how clinical alarms can become useful tools for caregivers, not something they are driven to disable.
Fast Fact
A 2010 Critical Care Medicine piece stated that:
40 percent of all alarms do not correctly describe the patient condition and can be classified as technically false.
Only 15 percent of all alarms can be considered clinically relevant.
