Stryker, Acuitec form strategic relationship

Stryker’s Communications business unit and Acuitec announced today that they have signed an agreement that will integrate both companies’ technologies within the operating room to provide customers with a comprehensive offering that combines in-room integration with desirable workflow solutions.

Stryker’s Infinity Control System allows staff within the OR to route video, control multiple devices and PCs, and teleconference. The Acuitec software platform can be integrated with the SwitchPoint Infinity System to work seamlessly with hospitals’ PACS and EMR systems to provide a comprehensive perioperative solution featuring patient tracking, pre/intra/post-op electronic charting, remote presence monitoring, video boards, case status, and dashboards. The intuitive Acuitec software can also be accessed, managed, and routed to any display within the OR through the Stryker SwitchPoint Infinity touch panel interface.

“The agreement with Acuitec will allow us to offer our customers the most innovative information systems available for hospitals today, creating greater efficiencies and enhanced care within the operating room," according to Spencer Stiles, Stryker Communications General Manager. “We look forward to introducing Stryker’s valued customers to Acuitec’s award-winning perioperative information systems.”

“This strategic relationship positions the VPIMS family of products as Stryker’s preferred OR information system,” said Lionel Tehini, Acuitec’s CEO. “This presents us with an expanded opportunity to equip Stryker’s customers as well as prospective customers with our perioperative solutions.”
