The Stryker SDC3 HD Information Management System is a versatile medical device used for capturing, managing, and storing high-definition surgical images and videos during procedures. It is designed to enhance the documentation and management of surgical data for later review, education, or integration into hospital records. The SDC3 is often used in operating rooms alongside other Stryker devices, including endoscopy and surgical systems, to streamline workflow and provide a seamless experience in managing critical surgical information.

Key Features of the SDC3 HD Information Management System:

1. High-Definition Recording:

   • The SDC3 can record in 1080p HD resolution, ensuring that both images and videos captured during surgery are clear and detailed. This is crucial for surgical documentation, education, and future case reviews.

2. Simultaneous Recording and Playback:

   • The SDC3 allows for simultaneous recording of two video channels. This means that multiple camera views (such as from different angles in the surgical field) can be recorded and stored at the same time.
   • It also supports real-time video playback, enabling surgeons to review footage during the surgery itself.

3. Voice and Annotation Capabilities:

   • The system has the capability for voice recording and annotation, allowing surgeons to add verbal notes or mark specific parts of the video in real-time. This feature is useful for creating educational content or documenting critical moments during the surgery.

4. Large Storage Capacity:

   • The SDC3 offers a significant amount of internal storage, with options for external storage via USB or networked drives, ensuring that large amounts of data can be saved without interruptions.

5. Customizable User Profiles:

   • Surgeons and staff can create custom profiles within the system, allowing them to quickly access their preferred settings, such as camera views, recording modes, and file-naming conventions. This feature helps to streamline workflow and ensures that the system is ready for use with minimal setup time.

6. Network Integration and Data Sharing:

   • The SDC3 can be integrated into the hospital’s PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) or EMR (Electronic Medical Records) system. This ensures that recorded data, including images and videos, can be shared seamlessly with the broader healthcare team and stored for future reference.
   • It also supports DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) protocols for easy integration with medical imaging systems.

7. Touchscreen Interface:

   • The system includes an intuitive touchscreen interface, allowing the surgical team to easily control recording, playback, and data management functions even in a fast-paced operating room environment.

8. Customizable Reports:

   • The system can generate customized reports that include captured images, videos, and annotations. This is particularly useful for surgical documentation, where detailed records are needed for patient files, research, or case studies.

Benefits:

• Improved Documentation: The ability to capture high-definition video and images, along with annotations and voice memos, ensures comprehensive and detailed documentation of surgeries.
• Enhanced Education: Surgeons can use the recorded footage and annotations for training, teaching, or reviewing complex cases with their peers.
• Efficient Workflow: Custom profiles and network integration streamline the process of capturing and managing surgical data, minimizing delays or disruptions in the operating room.
• Data Security and Compliance: The SDC3 system adheres to medical data security standards, ensuring that patient information is kept safe and that hospitals remain compliant with healthcare regulations.

Applications:

The SDC3 is designed for use in a wide range of surgical environments, including:

• Laparoscopic surgery
• Orthopedic surgery
• General surgery
• Urology, gynecology, and ENT procedures

Overall, the Stryker SDC3 HD Information Management System enhances the management of surgical data, offering efficient, detailed, and easily shareable records for better patient outcomes, educational purposes, and streamlined hospital operations.
