Indications for Use
The DocuSys Anesthesia Information and digital-Drug Management System offers anesthesia a comprehensive record keeping system with advanced patient safety features. The clinician begins interacting with the system through the electronic anesthesia pre-operative assessment in which patient data relative to anesthesia is recorded. Electronic documentation of the patient's allergies and home medications allows for proactive adverse drug event screening when the patient is in the operating room prior to anesthesia delivering drugs. The DocuSafe electronic anesthesia information system allows the clinician to record anesthesia related events in the pre-op, intra-op, and PACU areas. The DocuSafe software receives physiologic data from various patient monitoring devices. Clinicians enter drug information onto the anesthesia record in one of two methods: a) manually selecting the drug from a list of drugs in the formulary, or b) through the use of DocuSys' optional digital-Drug Management System. If the optional d-DMS is used, the clinician may scan a barcode affixed to a Syringe Label Cradle or use DocuJect to record the drug delivery. A Formulary Reference module, managed by pharmacy, contains drug specific information used for documenting drugs on the anesthesia record, performing ADE checks, and submitting medication utilization information for billing purposes. The DocuRx pharmacy component of the digital-Drug Management System provides for pre-screening of medications that are ordered by anesthesia to check for any potential adverse drug events. It also provides a methodology for narcotics tracking through its comprehensive medication tracking and wasting feature. Each component of the Anesthesia Information and digital-Drug Management System plays an integral part in standardizing medication administration techniques and documentation.
Device Story
Software-based anesthesia information system; integrates physiologic data from patient monitors; enables electronic pre-operative assessment; facilitates drug documentation via manual entry or optional digital-Drug Management System (d-DMS). d-DMS utilizes barcode scanning of Syringe Label Cradles or DocuJect for drug delivery recording. Includes DocuRx pharmacy module for adverse drug event (ADE) screening and narcotics tracking/wasting. Used by anesthesiologists in clinical settings (pre-op, OR, PACU). System standardizes medication administration and documentation; provides clinicians with real-time alerts for potential ADEs; supports billing and record retention.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical testing performed by manufacturer and third-party clinicians in normal operating environments. Study verified software performance and accuracy of data receipt and recording. No specific sensitivity/specificity metrics reported.
Technological Characteristics
Windows-based software application; connects to patient monitors; barcode scanning hardware (Syringe Label Cradle, DocuJect); formulary reference module; pharmacy-managed drug database; supports medication tracking and ADE screening.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by anesthesiologists for tracking and record keeping of anesthesia procedures, including drug administration, in pre-operative, intra-operative, and PACU settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A gas machine for anesthesia is a device used to administer to a patient, continuously or intermittently, a general inhalation anesthetic and to maintain a patient's ventilation. The device may include a gas flowmeter, vaporizer, ventilator, breathing circuit with bag, and emergency air supply. A gas machine for analgesia is a device used to administer to a patient an analgesic agent, such as a nitrous oxide-oxygen mixture (maximum concentration of 70 percent nitrous oxide).
