Abstract: In the present invention, a system and method is provided for the self-certification of third party software products for use on medical products by the customer. The system enables the customer to test, qualify, and certify a third party software product for use on a controlled medical device independent of any testing or other intervention by the manufacturer. The system can be located on the particular medical device and provides internal testing and certification mechanisms to promote/authorize third party software products onto to the device/software authorization catalog, as well as notification to the manufacturer of the customer approved addition to the device certified third party software product catalog.

Abstract: A method for noise information management is provided including obtaining, via at least one physiological sensor, physiological information of a patient, and obtaining, via a noise acquisition unit, noise information corresponding to noise occurring during collection of the physiological information. The method also includes recording the physiological information on at least one physiological recording channel and recording the noise information on at least one noise recording channel at a sample rate corresponding to a rate used to record the physiological information. Also, the method includes associating the noise information with environmental information corresponding to at least one of a time or location at which the physiological information was acquired from the patient to provide a case noise profile. Further, the method includes storing the case noise profile as part of an archive containing plural case noise profiles.
