Connected OR Operating System
Empower your surgical team with a single touch of a button
Stryker’s Connected OR Operating System provides control and customization of compatible equipment from a single, intuitive touchscreen. Our desire is to increase efficiency and satisfaction by simplifying workflows, streamlining communications, and connecting surgeons, staff and patients.
User interface
Connected OR Operating System powers the iSuite by seamlessly connecting compatible hospital devices from one user interface, providing a simple, intuitive and efficient workflow experience. You have the ability to modify connected surgical device settings in the operating room from one location. This allows your staff to minimize OR movement and surgeon disruptions with the ability to edit and change any intra-operative settings from a single touch panel.

Turnover time
Powered by the Connected OR Operating System, the iSuite has been shown to enable surgical teams to reduce turnover time by up to 18 minutes.1
Better environment
95% of surgical nurses agree that the iSuite provides a better OR work environment compared to non-integrated ORs by eliminating the need to constantly locate equipment.2

Surgeon profiles
Pre-op room setup, now at the touch of a button
The surgical staff is tasked with setting up the entire operating room pre-operatively, which varies from surgeon to surgeon. With pre-programmed customizable profiles, you no longer have to memorize a surgeon’s OR configuration, such as room and console settings as well as preference card details.
Automating the surgeon profiles ensures consistency with your room setup, for example:
- Monitor settings
- Preset insufflation pressure
- Manage arthroscopy pump and resection platforms together
- Save and access commonly used annotations for surgical images
Real time messaging
On demand real time communication
The real-time messaging feature within the Connected OR Operating System, is designed to streamline critical communication by allowing real-time status updates to be sent directly to both physicians and patient family. The messaging system enables you to update your surgical team in real-time without stepping outside the sterile operating room.
The Connected OR Operating System leverages Wi-Fi enabled real time messaging to keep your surgeons and staff informed pre and post operatively:
- Alert the turnover team to prepare the room
- Notify the surgeon, PA or staff of room readiness
- Keep the family informed of their loved one’s status
- Standardize preference card management with real time updates
- Streamline the repair process by initiating service request in real time
- Notification of repairs
Improving overall communication between the staff offers the potential to decrease OR downtime.
Direct EHR connectivity
Go paperless: Automate and ensure accuracy of patient information
The Connected OR operating system paired with the iSuite EHR Connectivity powered by DataMediatOR eliminates the tedious process of manually entering patient information pre-operatively by scanning the patient's wrist to auto-populate the necessary information, and minimize prints postoperatively with direct integration into the patient's EHR. This feature is designed to not only save time, but also decrease the risk of a manual entry error.
Voice control
Hands free control of your OR
Connected OR voice control allows you to control the iSuite environment by speaking directly into your headset. With voice control, connected surgical devices respond to your immediate needs, allowing you to minimize surgical disruptions resulting in a more efficient intraoperative workflow.
Voice control is powered by the Connected OR Operating System which offers the following unified iSuite device control features in a single touchscreen:
- Customized device monitoring overlays
- Customized annotations for anatomical labeling
- Toggle through advanced imaging modalities with quick voice commands or a touch of a button through device control
Additional integration software packages
Live video
Collaborate, educate, maximize
Our live video conferencing platform utilizes the hospital's network infrastructure to facilitate videoconferencing from within the OR. The network based communication helps eliminate the need for cumbersome cable runs and expands the OR's video presence to outside locations
Media management
Archive, edit, share
Stryker’s media asset management software solutions make it easy for users to archive, edit, and share surgical media from an intuitive browser-based user interface or from your Apple iPad using the My SDC3 app.
EHR connectivity
Paperless, secure, easy
Whether you want to send data to the patient’s chart in the EMR or push videos and images to Stryker’s media asset system, EHR connectivity provides an integrated, secure, and reliable data management solution.
