SmartAudits: Applying Timebands to a Medical Device

The logistics of advanced organ preservation techniques are taxing: medical devices either require constant trained-monitoring or provide support for transplant decisions. ScubaTx™, a Newcastle University/NHS spin-out company, is developing an automated medical device to improve the preservation and monitoring of organs for transplantation. One key feature is an accurate summary enabling clinicians to quickly understand the preservation process. SmartAudits is a variation (and extension) of the Timebands formalism used to aid clinicians’ decisions about organs. It has been applied to ScubaTx’s novel device.
