From the bedside to the operating room, QNX technology goes the distance, allowing medical device manufacturers to bring unparalleled reliability to life-critical equipment. QNX technology is found in virtually every type of medical and life-science application, including surgical, diagnostic, patient monitoring, and homecare devices.

Medical OEMs count on QNX reliability

The QNX Neutrino® RTOS provides a robust, fault-tolerant solution for the most demanding embedded solutions. Based on a memory-protected, message-passing architecture, QNX Neutrino enables shorter development cycles, fewer software bugs, and higher uptimes than traditional RTOSs. It also delivers superior imaging and display capabilities through its high-performance QNX Photon microGUI® windowing system.

The QNX Neutrino RTOS cuts hardware costs through its small footprint and modular design. And its advanced power management extends the battery life of mobile medical devices, while enabling "instant on" response.

To help medical developers create highly reliable code in the shortest possible time, the QNX Momentics® development suite offers highly integrated tools for memory analysis, trace analysis, application profiling, visual debugging, remote diagnostics, GUI generation, and more. It also supports a rich complement of driver development kits and optional source-code packages. QNX Momentics is based on the open and highly extensible Eclipse framework.
