Improving BME Support by Remotely Locating Third Party Systems in Catheterization and Electrophysiology Labs

Abstract

The University of Ottawa Heart Institute Biomedical Engineering team has found many benefits to relocating third-party medical devices and equipment from the control and procedure rooms of both catheterization and electrophysiology labs and moving them to a remote equipment room. This paper covers how the team achieved success in setting up a fully functional equipment room and what considerations to take when deciding to implement this type of workflow.
