Abstract: A system and method of identifying at least one potential solution to a problem associated with a remote medical device. The technique comprises automatically sending medical device data automatically to a service center. The service center has a database containing historic data for the medical device and a database containing potential solutions to a problem associated with at least one remote medical device. The technique comprises automatically searching the historic data database for historic data for the medical device using the medical device data. The technique comprises using the historic data found as a result of the search of the historic data database to automatically search the database of potential solutions. The technique also comprises sending the at least one potential problem solution found as a result of the search of the problem solution database from the service center to a service provider via a communications network.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating the production of a service report of a service performed on a medical device by a service provider is provided. The service report contains medical device data related to the service performed on the medical device. The system may comprise a computing system operable to store and process data from a medical device. The system may also comprise a medical device operable to automatically transmit medical device data to the computer system. The system may also comprise a remote device operable to automatically transmit service provider data to the computer system. The method comprises operating the computer system to receive medical device data transmitted automatically by the medical system to the computer system. The method also comprises operating the computer system to receive service provider data transmitted automatically by a remote device to the computer system via the communications network.
