From many years of experience supporting OR technology, Richard Wolf knows everything that happens in the operating room (OR), what matters and in what order of priority. This knowledge helped Richard Wolf develop the "core nova" OR integration system solution.
core nova is built for completeness and efficiency: universal, user-friendly and integrated. Only functions that can be used intuitively and bring real benefits in the OR are integrated into core nova. In other words, core nova brings together all the efficient functions of OR integration and covers everything that really matters in the OR. Here is a detailed introduction to core nova, the complete integration solution for devices and systems in the high-tech OR.
Three key features of core nova
- Intelligent control for fully synchronized operation
core nova is based on intelligent control: all integrated medical devices and components can be operated from any workstation in the OR, and the control terminals are always synchronized. OR staff can clearly see device functions and all status information. All Richard Wolf endoscopic devices and medical products from other manufacturers – such as OR tables, surgical lights and HF devices – can be controlled, with central management and use of user-specific presets.
- A high-performance core media management platform
Built for the modern OR, core.media offers outstanding performance and can be used in ceiling supply units or mobile endoscopy carts, saving the trouble of a separate technical room. core.media routes video signals from connected image sources to OR monitors or streams them within the hospital network, and controls the storage of image and video information, so all recorded data can be forwarded to several hospital systems via the core nova network – an efficient media management service.
- core.portal ensures data security, data protection and patient safety
core.portal offers an integrated security concept: authorization and access control, unique identification and authentication of all network users, and monitoring of the availability and other status information of all users to prevent losses. It helps OR staff stay in full control of all surgical devices and applications, integrates existing user directories and can easily be integrated into existing monitoring systems.
Installing core nova OR integration is easier and safer than you think
Richard Wolf core nova is easy to install – in practice it can be done in a single day, greatly reducing installation costs and time. It fits into the hospital's existing IT environment and, thanks to plug and play, components can easily be exchanged and the system expanded at any time without complex cabling. Besides saving costs, the lean core nova also saves space: because most functions are implemented in software, the few hardware components can easily be installed on an equipment cart or ceiling-mounted unit.
Moreover, only properly certified software can be registered in the core nova system, keeping the integrated applications secure. In addition, Richard Wolf offers remote maintenance, effectively reducing downtime and keeping the OR running smoothly.
