The third LOWTeq user meeting was also a complete success: From 29 to 30 September, the users of the LOWTeqpdms met in Cologne for a professional exchange. The meeting started with a boat trip along the Cologne panorama. In a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, experiences from clinical practice with the integrative PDMS solutions from LOWTeq were exchanged and discussed. The second day was dedicated to the professional discourse on the question of the requirement profile of modern PDMS solutions as well as future development of the LOWTeqpdms.

The hospital Landshut-Achdorf and the hospital Vilsbiburg of the LAKUMED clinics rely in each case in the anesthesia and their intensive care unit on the support of LOWTeqpdms. LAKUMED Kliniken is the largest medicl service provider in the Landshut region. The introduction of LOWTeqpdms meets the high requirements of the clinic association in terms of optimal data acquisition and data security as well as patient safety.

The Diakonie Klinikum Jung-Stilling in Siegen is introducing a new hospital information system (HIS). The contract for this project was awarded to Telekom Healthcare Solutions with its iMedOne® hospital information system. The matching clinical information system (CIS) for the intensive care unit is supplied by LOWTeq with its LOWTeqpdms. Thus, Klinikum Jung-Stilling is also another example of the successful integration of LOWTeqpdms into the hospital information system iMedOne®. The project implementation is planned for the course of the next year.

LOWTeq has also passed the second stage for successful MDR certification. During Stage 2, LOWTeq was audited for three days by an experienced team from TÜV Süd with regard to conformity with the requirements of the MDR (Medical Device Regulation) and the functioning of the processes was extensively tested. The successful Stage 2 audit is considered the initial certification audit after passing the Stage 1 audit and is in turn a prerequisite for the certification recommendation of the audit team of the notified body.

LOWTeq has easily passed the first stage for successful MDR certification (Medical Device Regulation), which is mandatory for all manufacturers of medical devices. The content of Stage 1 is the readiness audit, i.e. the review of the technical documentation and the completeness of the QMS (quality management system). A successful Stage 1 audit is the first step on the way to certification and a prerequisite for admission to the following Stage 2 audit.

The Evangelische Elisabeth Klinik in Berlin-Mitte has decided to use LOWTeqpdms in its intensive care unit. Thus, the seventh hospital of the Johannesstift Diakonie has also chosen LOWTeqpdms. In addition to the acute and accident hospital Evangelische Elisabeth Klinik, LOWTeqpdms is already successfully in use for the Johannesstift Diakonie in the capital at the hospitals Evangelische Lungenklinik, Evangelisches Krankenhaus Hubertus, Martin Luther Krankenhaus and Evangelisches Waldkrankenhaus Spandau as well as at the Evangelisches Krankenhaus Paul Gerhardt Stift in Lutherstadt Wittenberg and the Klinik Amsee in Waren (Müritz). And as always, there is no time to lose, because the go-live is planned for the end of the year.

This year, finally, live and in colour again: from 26 - 28 April 2022, LOWTeq GmbH will be presenting the latest developments in its PDMS solutions at DMEA in Berlin, Europe's most important trade fair for digital healthcare. Also with regard to topics such as MDR and KHZG, we look forward to being able to present our solutions to you in person again, which meet all the requirements that are placed on a powerful PDMS system today and in the future. Visit us - you will find us in Hall 3.2, Stand A-105.

The municipal hospital in Saarbrücken, which is one of the most modern maximum care hospitals in southwest Germany with a total of 600 hospital beds and 19 specialist departments, has decided to use LOWTeqpdms in its anesthesiology and intensive care departments. Now there is no time to lose and preparations must begin, because the go-live is already scheduled for the first quarter of 2023.

TÜV Süd has become LOWTeq GmbH's new partner for testing and certifying LOWTeqpdms as a medical device and for monitoring the quality management system (QMS). With TÜV Süd, LOWTeq has chosen an experienced and competent partner to ensure the timely and successful conversion of the existing MDD certificate of LOWTeqpdms into a valid MDR certificate and to meet the highest quality standards.

Claraspital Basel has already used LOWTeqpdms in anesthesiology and reception for some time. Since last week LOWTeq’s PDMS solution is now also in use in the intensive care unit of this Swiss acute care facility. Implementation of LOWteqpdms required the replacement of the former PDMS system. The process went without a hitch, thanks to a strategy that LOWTeq developed especially for this project.
