Deploying Wincomm WMP-22P for Mobile EEG Neurological Monitoring in ICU
Background & Challenge
Orthopedic surgery, particularly hip replacements, sees over 7.5 million procedures annually worldwide. Hospitals increasingly demand digital surgical tools that enhance precision, reduce variability, and integrate seamlessly with existing workflows.
Wincomm Solution: WMP-22P Medical Panel PC
To meet these requirements, the hospital selected the Wincomm WMP-22P, a 21.5" fanless medical-grade panel PC with advanced features:
• UL/cUL 60601-1 & IEC 60601-1-2 certified: for medical safety
• IP65 front panel: with antimicrobial coating for easy disinfection
• Hot-swappable triple battery system: enabling 8–10 hours of continuous operation on a mobile cart
• PCIe x4 expansion slot: to integrate capture and signal processing cards
• Multiple I/O (USB/WiFi/LAN) and video inputs: (DP/HDMI) for EEG-video synchronized monitoring
• i-Control™ power/thermal management suite: for reliable long-duration use
• Intel® vPro: support for remote IT control and software updates
Implementation Process
1. System Integration
• The WMP-22P was mounted onto a battery-powered medical cart
• A multi-channel EEG capture PCIe card was installed
• Pre-configured EEG analysis software enabled real-time visualization, seizure detection, and alerting.
2. Deployment in ICU & OR
• The system was networked via 1GbE/2.5GbE LAN for real-time data upload
• Neurologists could remotely access live EEG readings using secure hospital intranet systems.
3. In-Use Monitoring
• High-contrast 21.5″ FHD AHVA touchscreen allowed clinicians to assess EEG signals directly.
• The fanless design ensured silent operation, ideal for ICU and surgical settings.
