In a hospital, we use a large number of medical equipment. In these use, I support the safe use by the alarm such as errors from medical equipment. There is the instrument notifying of alarm in communication, but there is the instrument by a sound and the light. For the medical safety management, confirmation of the alarm is important. We thought that stability was improved by integrating alarm from the instrument of the different type. Therefore, we thought that we integrated alarm from medical equipment. We decided to transmit an alarm signal from medical equipment by adding radio module program unit. The type of the radio used IEEE 802.15.4 (ZigBee) at a point of view of low power, International Standard, simple radio equipment. This system deals with only alarm information from medical equipment and does not handle the data. However, we understood that we were helpful very much even if it was only alarm information. We were able to in this way reduce the number of incidents.
在医院里，我们使用大量的医疗设备。在这些使用过程中，我通过诸如医疗设备错误等警报来支持安全使用。有通过通信通知警报的仪器，但也有通过声音和灯光发出警报的仪器。对于医疗安全管理来说，确认警报很重要。我们认为通过整合来自不同类型仪器的警报可以提高稳定性。因此，我们考虑整合来自医疗设备的警报。我们决定通过添加无线电模块程序单元来从医疗设备传输警报信号。从低功耗、国际标准、简单无线电设备的角度来看，所使用的无线电类型为IEEE 802.15.4（ZigBee）。该系统仅处理来自医疗设备的警报信息，不处理数据。然而，我们明白即使只是警报信息也非常有帮助。通过这种方式，我们能够减少事故数量。
