Publication number: 20240021301Abstract: Methods of troubleshooting non-event malfunctions include providing a database including pre-populated non-event issues and associated corrective actions, receiving search criteria regarding a particular non-event issue via entry of a search string at a user interface, parsing and normalizing the search string into a meta-data schema to produce a normalized search string, searching the database with the normalized search string to generate a listing of one or more particular corrective actions, and receiving the listing of one or more particular corrective actions that are associated with the normalized search string. Apparatus configured to carry out the methods are provided, as are other aspects.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc.Inventors: Arnold Rudorfer, Steven Magowan, Joel Cambron

Patent number: 10643747Abstract: A method of providing dynamic analysis for troubleshooting in vitro diagnostics instrument issues includes receiving, at a second computing device in communication with a plurality of instruments, identification of an issue associated with a portion of an instrument of the plurality of instruments, the identification received from a first computing device in communication with the instrument. A central computing device accesses data from one or more databases and determines an ordering of one or more corrective actions for resolving the issue by applying the data to a probabilistic model based on at least one of: patterns from the plurality of instruments; and operator input. The central computing device provides the one or more corrective actions in the determined order to the first computing device to be displayed via a user interface at the instrument.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2015Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc.Inventors: Arnold Rudorfer, Steve Magowan, Markus Schmitt

Publication number: 20190376991Abstract: Methods of predicting failures of in vitro diagnostic instruments. The methods include monitoring with one or more monitoring devices associated with one or more components of the in vitro diagnostic instrument, one or more condition-based maintenance (CBM) parameters of the in vitro diagnostic instrument, providing the one or more condition-based maintenance parameters to a local database, transmitting condition-based maintenance data to a remote service location, storing the condition-based maintenance data at the remote service location, analyzing the condition-based maintenance data according to a failure prediction engine including failure prediction criteria, and performing an action based on predefined deviation from the failure prediction criteria. Apparatus configured to carry out the methods are provided, as are other aspects.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2017Publication date: December 12, 2019Applicant: Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc.Inventors: Arnold Rudorfer, Steven Magowan, Govindraj Peesapati, Robert Kachelries

Publication number: 20170017538Abstract: A method of providing troubleshooting for an in vitro diagnostics instrument includes receiving, via a computing device, identification of one of a plurality of issues of the instrument, each of the plurality of issues associated with a portion of the instrument. An ordered list of one or more corrective actions to resolve the issue is provided via a user interface in communication with the computing device. The ordered list is stored in a database in communication with the computing device. The computing device receives an indication via the user interface of the one or more corrective actions determined to successfully resolve the issue.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2015Publication date: January 19, 2017Applicant: Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc.Inventors: Arnold RUDORFER, Catalin TUDOSE, Milind SAWANT, Steve MAGOWWAN
