SMART turnkey equipment from Brandon Medical

Brandon Medical is a UK company that delivers SMART turnkey equipment for acute and primary healthcare worldwide. For 75 years, British engineering ethos and strong work ethic have fuelled continuous product innovation and development to provide healthcare professionals with reliable, high-quality, and affordable medical equipment packages for operating theaters and critical care in over 70 countries around the globe.

Experts in manufacturing medical lighting, medical power and control systems, and medical audio-video systems. Brandon Medical have decades of practical expertise in configuring acute care areas for a regulatory- and recommendatory-compliant solution, with high levels of engineering contingency and resilience, while maintaining a commercial design philosophy.

The company is one of the global leading manufacturers of high-tech medical lighting, and its equipment can be found in surgeries, clinics, and hospitals throughout the world, supported by an extensive distributor network.

Its operating theater lamps have near-perfect colour rendition and balanced arm systems for ease of movement, and use HD-LED technology, which emits a brilliant cold light to reduce heat generation. The company also have a range of mobile operating theater lights. Specialist surgical and examination lighting systems are available, with unique features designed to suit the field.

In addition to healthcare and hospital lighting technology, the company also manufacture medical AV systems and operating theater control panels, as well as isolated power systems and uninterruptible power systems.

The iTCP smart operating theater control system is an open architecture solution integrated with Brandon Medical innovative, smart – Internet of Things equipment packages for operating theaters and resolves many of the challenges for hospital designers, architects, engineers, and estate managers.

The iTCP is a flexible and expandable platform for the control, monitoring, and interfacing of complex medical systems that presents an easy-to-use graphical interface to the user inside the OR and simultaneously provides integration with building management systems (BMS), air handling units (AHU), medical power supplies (UPS and IPS) and medical gas systems.

The smart operating theater is not only an ensemble of integrated smart equipment, it starts before even the foundations of the hospital are laid, with a project framework, which the company provide and support for open architecture and integration of third-party equipment. This is the truly unique core of the smart operating theater innovation, flexibility.

Intelligent theatre control panel. iTCP is the first OT control panel that talks to the building management system and the operating theatre equipment; SMART building protocols include operating theatre smart integration (IoT).

Modern methods of construction. At the beginning of the project, the modular concept allows for derisking operating theatre projects.

A pathway to a greener footprint in healthcare. Medicontrol iTCP can be upgraded and updated remotely, reducing travel for support and maintenance carbon footprint; the panel will turn off and run maintenance routines when it detects the operating room is not in service – saving energy.

Designed for the future digital hospital-reducing the incidence of never events. Data from the patient domain, equipment, and environment data could integrate via iTCP, allowing healthcare providers to describe the patient’s entire journey throughout the operating theatre – making an ‘aviation-style black box’ for the operating theatre finally possible.
