The recent TechNation Tools of the Trade Live Demo featured the Pronk Mobilize Wireless Solution. Pronk’s Julio Castro guided attendees through the many helpful uses of Mobilize before fielding questions during an informative Q&A session. Sporsored by Pronk Technologies, the webinar is eligible for 1 credit from the ACI.
Pronk Mobilize is a multi-level solution that provides flexibility to connect test equipment to Pronk’s Mobilize App to streamline and automate medical device testing. Mobilize can be adapted to fit a biomedical engineer’s testing and documentation needs. It includes various operating modes that enable biomeds to automate testing on a single or combination of Mobilize-compatible test equipment including automated electrical safety, vital signs simulation, IV pump, defibrillator and ventilator testing – all as part of a test protocol/procedure that the engineer defines.
Mobilize includes automated step-by-step electronic procedure features. It includes user-controllable options to adapt procedures according to the particular configuration of the medical device and test equipment at hand.
A third operating mode provides the ability for a biomed to create a library of test protocols that can be loaded instantly for executing automated testing with wireless connectivity to the test equipment.
Joshua Moffett, a biomedical equipment technician with Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute won a $100 Amazon gift card as part of the Webinar Wednesday 10th anniversary celebration. A recording of the webinar is available for on-demand viewing at WebinarWednesday.live.
