Predictika · Anaesthesia workstation orders

An AI sales agent's anaesthesia workstation order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for an Atlan A350/A350 XL anaesthesia workstation for a hospital operating-room project: gas version, gas cylinders, tidal volume range and a set of software, monitoring and connectivity options. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the product information Draeger publishes and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Atlan A350/A350 XL anaesthesia workstation orders: gas version, gas cylinders, tidal volume, and options with their prerequisites. See everything this validator covers

This validator models Atlan A350/A350 XL workstation orders, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Gas supply — the 2-gas (O2/air) and 3-gas (O2/air/N2O) versions, 1 or 2 standing cylinders and 2 or 3 suspended cylinders.
  • Tidal volume — 10 to 1,500 mL as standard, down to 5 mL with the Advanced neonatal support option; the order's stated lowest tidal volume is compared with what the configuration delivers.
  • Options and prerequisites — Advanced Gas Monitoring, xMAC monitoring and the O2 real gas test need the integrated patient-gas measurement module; Advanced Ventilation Monitoring needs IACS patient monitoring; Lung Recruitment Maneuvers, Auto On and USB configuration transfer need software 2.0 or higher; SmartPilot View needs a medical-grade PC; Connected Maintenance needs the Connectivity Package; time synchronisation and EMR export need the Connectivity Converter; MobilePatientWatch is flagged for a person to confirm the site infrastructure.

Any Atlan A350/A350 XL order that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (hospital pricing is project-based and not published, so this validator produces no price build-up or line-item quote), the difference between the A350 and the A350 XL, vaporizer counts, mounting versions and trolley sizes, ventilation-mode packaging, other Draeger products such as the Perseus A500, ventilators and ceiling supply units, and any clinical use. It is not a clinical tool.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong
Click to expand
    
Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

    
What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
Options that exist only with a particular module or monitorOnly with care
A product rule per option naming the module it depends on; it works, but every new option is another rule to maintain.		The options and the modules they depend on are in one request and every prerequisite is checked together.
Options that need a minimum software versionOnly with care
A rule per option against a software-version attribute, kept in step with each release.		The software version and the options travel in one request and are checked on every call.
A stated lowest tidal volume that must match the configurationOnly with workarounds
The figure depends on whether an option is on the order, so it needs a derived value and a comparison rule.		The configuration's lowest tidal volume is computed and compared with the figure the order states.
A site-infrastructure option that needs a person to confirmOnly with workarounds
An approval step that depends on one option but must hold the whole order until a person signs off.		The approval comes back with the other findings and the order is held until it is given.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the order is saved or a step is completed, so a rep often fixes one error and meets the next.		All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares an order for an Atlan A350/A350 XL anaesthesia workstation for a hospital operating-room project: gas version, gas cylinders, tidal volume range and a set of software, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the product information Draeger publishes and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote an Atlan A350/A350 XL anaesthesia workstation, 3-gas (O2/air/N2O) version, with 2 standing gas cylinders, the integrated patient-gas measurement module and IACS patient monitoring. The ventilator will be set to a tidal volume of 150 mL, and the order states that the machine delivers down to 10 mL. The rest of the request is on screen.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with six findings, all in one answer. Lung Recruitment Maneuvers require software 2.0 or higher; the quote is on an earlier software version. The Auto On function requires software 2.0 or higher; the quote is on an earlier software version. Export and import of the machine configuration via USB requires software 2.0 or higher; the quote is on an earlier software version. The other three are on screen.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned six blocking findings in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the quote are checked against each other.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for options that need a minimum software version, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the software 2.0 or higher to yes and the Medical-grade PC to yes.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Still blocked, with two findings, all in one answer. Connected Maintenance requires the Connectivity Package to establish connectivity; the quote has none. Time and date synchronisation requires the Draeger Connectivity Converter hardware; the quote has none.
    12. 
      
  12. Four findings cleared; still blocked on Connected Maintenance needs the Connectivity Package and time synchronisation needs the Connectivity Converter.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the Connectivity Package to yes and the Connectivity Converter to yes.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. Both earlier findings are cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
    18. 
      
  18. Six problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer.
    19.
