Today integrating medical devices with recording systems is important and has several benefits and purposes for hospitals. Trainee doctors can review the surgeries in detail for better training, resulting in improved patient care. Also, it protects medical providers from disputes and lawsuits with evidence. Therefore, the introduction of a recording system is valuable for hospitals.

The EN 60601-1 Certified Medical Platform, mBOX600, for Smart Healthcare
|
|
|
Axiomtek proposed its mBOX600, a medical-grade system featuring the 9th/8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7/i5 processor, certified with EN 60601-1 standards. Purpose-built for edge computing and smart healthcare applications, the system not only supports one HDMI and two DisplayPort ++ ports for a 4K UHD triple display but also has a PCIe x16 slot where users can install a GPU card or a frame grabber to obtain higher performance for edge AI and image analysis use cases.

To enable a Wi-Fi connection, it is equipped with one full-size mini PCIe card slot for a Wi-Fi module and supports two SMA-type antenna connectors. In terms of connectivity, the two COM and LAN ports support isolation for better data security and interference. Four USB 3.1 and two audio jacks are also available.
Moreover, it provides one 2.5" SATAIII and one M.2 Key M 2280 NVMe SSD slot. The mBOX600 is based on the COM Express Type 6 SoM, which allows fast upgrades and ensures a long-life cycle of the system.

4K Medical Recorder for Medical Procedures
|
|
The customer integrated Axiomtek’s mBOX600 with its proprietary medical software as a versatile recording device that captures images and videos from various medical examination devices, such as endoscopy, microsurgeries, and other high-precision procedures. As a procedure is recorded, it will be archived in the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) for analysis and future review to optimize the procedure quality.
As the videos are archived and saved in the storage server of the hospital, they can be viewed by medical providers with high-level access.
Addressing customer demands for specific capture card compatibility, Axiomtek implemented minor hardware modifications to enhance flexibility. This adjustment enables seamless integration with a wide range of capture cards, significantly improving the product's adaptability to diverse requirements.
