Stratus™

Stratus™
ENHANCING CLINICAL FUNCTION THROUGH MOTION
The Stratus™ was created for all critical care environments with optimum flexibility for positioning and accessibility of essential services. The compact design gives healthcare providers complete access and clinical flexibility to meet the needs of critical care patients. Positioning the Stratus is reliable, fast and easy.


"The Stratus maximizes clinical flexiblity in the physical enviroment of all critical care areas."





Utilize the Stratus and the Open Access Column in combination in Critical Care Areas OR the Stratus and Silhouette in combination in the NICU.





 


Clinical Benefits
  • Convenient movement to allow clinically correct positioning of essential services
  • Nurses can easily and quickly position all equipment
  • Ergonomically placed handle for easy movement
  • Equipment tracks for equipment and storage management
  • Easy to Move-Movement of the Stratus is smooth and fluid by using three Electromagnetic Brakes

    Stratus Boom Benefits
  • Clear access to the patient's head: The Stratus keeps all cords, tubing and other products organized and out of the way when conducting invasive or high risk procedures on the patients head or neck area.
    • Intubation
    • Cervical Spine immobilization Precautions and Care
    • EEG Monitoring
    • Other vascular access and procedures in the patient's head or neck regions (ECMO, RRT)
  • Provides constant open space to move and work behind the head of the bed
  • Direct access to the services and equipment on the boom
  • Ergonomic placement of essential services for easy access.  Reduces the need to bend and stretch while dealing with electrical cords and medical gas tubing.
  • Provides operational flexibility for room layout including moving the bed and other equipment to the optimal position depending on the patients needs.

    • Ventricular  Assist Device
  • Flexibility in the physical environment to promote teamwork
  • Promotes circulation of staff, extra equipment and family members in the room








Electromagnetic Brake


The Stratus™ units utilize three electromagnetic brakes for precise and reliable positioning. Modular’s Brake only has one moving part insuring long life and solid reliability. That moving part, the rotor, is held in place by a permanent magnetic circuit that only requires normal power to release, reducing energy requirements and again extending the life of the system.  Each of the three joints in the Stratus can be independently moved or in any combination at any time for exact positioning of the service module depending on the desired clinical configuration.

Clinical Benefits: Pump Star Service Module
  • Promotes pump organization
  • Eliminates the need for IV pole
  • Makes critical patient transfers more efficient
  • Pump rack travels on the bed, increasing efficiency of staff during transport
  • Reduces the need for heavy lifting of pumps and bags

Pump Star Service Module
Integrate the Pump StarTM and the StratusTM to make pump transport more clinically advantageous. By using the Pump Star service module, pumps can be organized on one rack directly on the Stratus service
module without using valuable floor space.


Moving Patients
By using the Pump Star service module, pumps can be transferred from the service module to the bed mounting plate for fast and efficient transport. Pumps and bags will travel on the bed to eliminate moving separate IV poles along with the bed when moving patients. Once the patient returns to the room, the pumps are easily transferred back to the service module to be stored on the Stratus.

How it Works
The pump rack transfers by positioning the tapered pins on the transfer bracket over the bed bracket and then lowering the rack into the bed bracket. To transfer the pump rack to the service module, simply position the service module tapered pins under the transfer bracket and raise the rack onto the service module. For loading and unloading the pump rack in other departments use the mobile Pump Star.

Organizing Pumps on the Stratus
By locating the pumps on the Stratus it makes for a more organized and efficient use of space in the caregiver zone and provides a clear path to the patient. Pumps can be attached to the pump rack at an ergonomic level where they are easy to see, use and move. Pump racks are modular and can be customized to accommodate varying pump types, quantities and sizes.

(Final design of all Service Modules is based on the clinical needs and architectural requirements)
