Legal matters

Intended use for the use of KIX in the medical field

KIX is neither suitable, intended nor authorized to detect, prevent, monitor, treat, alleviate or compensate for disease, injury or disability. KIX is also not intended to examine, replace or alter the anatomical structure or a physiological process. Furthermore, KIX may not be used to directly control a diagnostic or therapeutic product. Furthermore, KIX is not intended to be used with a medical device in such a way that this medical device can fulfill its intended purpose.

KIX is to be used in the medical field exclusively for administrative and database tasks. Subject to the above restrictions, KIX can therefore be used in a medical environment:

  • for pure documentation purposes, such as:

    • the comprehensive management of equipment in the form of administration and inventory of device data (device metadata) such as names, IP addresses, serial numbers, persons responsible, warranty periods, service providers, operating documentation, license information, cost centres as well as the administration / organization of users, device instructions;

    • Central documentation of all activities and changes in IT, for example due to maintenance or other services performed (e.g. medical device logbook);

    • to build up a knowledge database.

  • to automate and simplify general administrative processes, such as:

    • in service and technical customer service, for example in IT service (faults, changes, maintenance);

    • in building services (faults, changes, cleaning) or medical equipment technology.

  • for monitoring purposes and calendar functions, for example:

    • of central IT services (network, mail, data server, SAP,...);

    • of fault and demand messages to IT, building services, medical equipment technology;

    • planning regular maintenance work and reminders to replace wearing parts

    • the organization of regular orders and the scheduling of service technicians.

KIX is not intended to enable or ensure the functioning of medical devices and may not be used for this purpose. If KIX also permits data exchange in the form of an interface function as part of the above functionalities, we would like to point out that KIX may not be used to modify or otherwise influence data in a medically or therapeutically relevant manner.

The use of KIX in the medical field is only permitted within the areas described above. KIX Service Software GmbH accepts no liability for any other or deviating use.
