Host the system on your server or ours in the "cloud"

While CIMScan can be easily hosted on any Windows-based server, by far the most cost effective system can be had by utilizing one of our servers. Ongoing server support is included in the small monthly fee. For those concerned about losing control of the data, the history and statistics databases can be optionally backed up to your server on a daily basis.

Incredibly easy to use and maintain

Log on using a simple web browser or your smart phone and you immediately see all the monitoring points that need attention. Select a sensor or two and then select "Trend Chart" to see a recent history to help you determine how to react to the situation.

Use any mix of wired or wireless sensors

Generally speaking, wired sensors are less expensive and more reliable, but they are more time consuming to installed. Wireless sensors, on the other hand, are quick to install, but the batteries need to be replaced once every year or two. CIMTechniques offers by far the widest variety of off-the-shelf sensors/transmitters available from anyone in the industry.

24/7 on-line monitoring with no gaps in data

Nothing sends up a red flag for auditors like gaps in the recorded monitoring data. With CIMScan, there are no gaps because the remote monitoring stations or eLink controllers buffer measurement data during LAN, Internet, or server outages. In addition, the remote stations handle alarm processing so local personnel are alerted to an abnormal condition even when the server cannot be involved for whatever reason.

Scalable from 1 to 10,000 monitoring points spread over hundreds of remote sites

Need a 10 point system? Start out using our server then migrate to yours as the number of monitoring points grows. You never lose your investment in the remote hardware.

IT friendly software

Use our server to host your system and IT rarely gets involved other than the internal networking. If you host your own system, has little to do other than the maintenance of the server computer hardware and the network infrastructure.

Create your own custom reports

If our standard reports don't meet your needs, use Microsoft Reporting Services to easily generate our own custom reports.

Extremely effective alerting system

CIMScan sends alerts via email, pager, text messaging, and voice telephone. To ease the burden on administrators, recipients maintain their own contact information. Alert messages are delivered through an escalation process with each potential recipient assigned an escalation level. Alarms can be acknowledged using a telephone's keypad, temporarily suspending alert delivery for a user-specified period of time.

System designed for easy validation

A formal validation template package (IQ and OQ) is available for CIMScan. In addition, CIMScan contains a "Validation Control Panel" which allows you to force alarm conditions and record the results.

Can be user-installed and serviced

The physical installation of the hardware and its maintenance can be easily handled by a typical hospital maintenance department or clinical engineering group.
