ReadyFix will seamlessly integrate with GE HealthCare’s MAC VU360™ resting ECG workstations, which are designed to deliver high-quality ECG readings that help clinicians make faster, more confident cardiac care decisions. When paired with ReadyFix, healthcare systems can leverage real-time** data for remote device diagnosis and repair, supporting optimized MAC VU360 performance and continuity of cardiac care.\n\n\nWith an average of 10 to 15 connected devices per bed, the biomedical engineering team may be responsible for managing thousands of medical devices in their hospital — making it increasingly difficult to keep up with day-to-day maintenance and repairs.i,ii,iii In fact, a recent survey found the majority of biomedical engineers (56%) describe their workload as ‘heavy’ or ‘excessive.’iv At the same time, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects more than 7,300 openings for biomedical equipment technicians over the next decade, yet only about 400 new graduates enter the field each year, widening the gap between demand and available support.v,vi\n\n\n\"Remote fleet management tools provide us with the clarity, structure and real‑time insights needed to stay ahead of equipment issues and maintain a high standard of reliability across the hospital,\" said Tony Williams, Director of Biomedical Engineering at Baptist Hospital in Pensacola.**** \"These tools elevate the way our biomedical engineering team supports patient care equipment.\"\n\n\nThe introduction of ReadyFix expands GE HealthCare’s growing portfolio of DeviceReady™ remote fleet management solutions, designed to h...
