Pairing Wireless Medical Devices
Stryker is one of the world’s leading medical technology companies. When they were developing their WiSe HDTV Transmitter and WiSe HDTV Surgical Display which allows surgical video as well as video signals from other devices like surgical robots and radiology devices to be transmitted wirelessly. They needed to ensure that a transmitter and display were intentionally linked.
They needed to ensure that a transmitter or display didn’t accidentally link to a display or transmitter in a different operating room.
This is where Datakey products came in. Stryker chose to use a portable memory device to carry link information. They wanted to use a memory device which had good long term availability, proven technology, highly reliable and durable.

Data with a steady heartbeat
St Jude Medical specialise in a non contact heart mapping system that measures and calculates the the electrical fields in the heart.
The specialised catheter is mass produced for one single use, each catheter is subject to manufacturing variations and must be calibrated with the exact location of the electrodes.
To achieve this, they turned to Datakey products as they are sterlisation resistant, fully engineered and available for the long term.
The high cycle life receptacle which gives tactile confirmation when an inserted token is physically engaged made it easy for the users of the system.

Reducing fluid overload
CHF Solutions (part of Gambro) is a medical device designer and manufacturer specialising in the area of fluid overload.
The Aquadex FlexFlow safely and cost effectively removes excess fluid in patients.
CHF needed a disposable memory device to integrate into the Aquadex FlexFlow and chose Datakey.
The Datakey token must be inserted to the receptacle on the unit for the unit to function. The token then tracks the time per circuit and informs the user at the end of the standard 8 hour treatment
