Ricoh integrates the new AV network of the Can Ruti hospital in Badalona

The new audiovisual network deployed by Ricoh in this Catalan hospital center it facilitates the capture, secure management and distribution of information in nine endoscopy rooms and six operating rooms, which places it as a reference in robotic surgery in Europe.

He Germans Trias and Pujol hospital from Badalona (popularly known as Can Ruti) has selected Ricoh as a technological partner to provide the latest audiovisual technology to its new endoscopy plant and operating rooms, recently opened.

This technological project, which has involved an investment of 700.000 euros, is part of the expansion of the health center, which includes a new surgical block, which has six new high-tech operating rooms already operational, as well as nine digestive and respiratory endoscopy rooms, that will be in operation this February.

With this expansion and technological equipment, This public hospital in Badalona has positioned itself as European benchmark in highly complex surgery and robotic technology that allow interventions in thoracic surgery to be approached with precision, urology, gynecology and more areas, and optimize surgical times.

This is what his manager points out, Josep Maria Mòdol: “This project consolidates the Can Ruti hospital at the forefront of robotic medicine and the center's commitment to quality public care”.

Ricoh has deployed an audiovisual network with hardware, software and services for Integrate data flow between operating rooms and wards, with service offices, the auditorium and communications to the outside by streaming and videoconferencing.

Each space has a complete video routing solution (in hybrid matrix topology and IP video), recording, streaming and video conferencing connected to management software suite Medical Video Manager and a digital audio system.

The audiovisual environment includes Ricoh AVQX, a scalable platform that operates in a secure environment and integrated with the video conferencing system, which has been validated by the National Security Scheme (ENS) and that will allow the hospital use AI for reporting processes and analysis of recordings, and constantly innovate by incorporating new equipment and integrating systems based on your needs.

With this equipment, easy to use, professionals will be able capture the activity that is generated within the surgical space, share it between the different monitors internally, record or distribute it.

How do you explain Neil Baquez, center biomedical engineer, “The new operating rooms and endoscopy rooms allow us to strengthen our healthcare capacity and promote innovation. Having an integrated audiovisual network optimizes workflows and facilitates knowledge transfer, always under the highest safety standards”.

To José Luis Gion, digital workplace director at Ricoh Spain, “This project shows how audiovisual technology facilitates the capture, secure management and distribution of information in critical spaces. Besides, by providing professionals with more agile tools, Integrated and easy to use, greater precision is achieved, coordination and efficiency in each intervention”.
