Product Domains

Continued use of just one item that has been recalled can cost your organization thousands in potential lawsuits and worse, the safety and well-being of a patient.

Because you use more than just biomedical devices to care for your patients. When a patient comes through your doors, product utilization goes into full swing. From the gurney to the IV tubing and tape, safe care begins with quality care. This means you need to feel confident that the products used, and the environment in which that patient is receiving care, is the safest possible.

Alert management for biomedical devices and medical supplies is expected, but is simply not enough. RASMAS has worked with numerous health care professionals from biomedical engineers, facilities engineers and medical supply managers to pharmacists and OR nurses to gain insight into the universe of products and how they are managed in the hospital environment. These professionals helped the RASMAS staff identify 14 product domains. When an alert is prepared for release, we assign the various notifications into the corresponding "domain" for that product to ensure that it is delivered directly to the individual that knows most about alert management for that product. And, alert re-assignment gives you the flexibility to re-route that alert when special circumstances arise. The current RASMAS domains are:

Biologics
Biomedical Devices
Blood Products
Children's Consumer Products
Engineering and Facilities
Food
Information Systems
Laboratory Products
Medical Supplies
OR Products
Other Supplies
Pharmaceuticals
Radiology Products
Tissue
Veterinary Products

We work with our subscribers to cover the domains that are important to you.
When our first children's hospital became a RASMAS subscriber they wanted to know, "Does RASMAS gather alerts on toys, cribs, high chairs and other consumer type products that are routinely used in a pediatric setting?" Now it does.

As we learn about the information that's important to you, we add the source and new domain if needed, because that's what patient safety through advanced technology is all about.
