Predictika · Electrosurgery unit orders

An AI sales agent's electrosurgical unit order, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares an order for KLS Martin maXium smart Q and maXium smart E electrosurgical units for a hospital: which variant, the software options for the current types the surgeons use, SWAP Mode, footswitches, the Beam argon flow, cart accessories, the site supply and the mains load it states. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of what the public KLS Martin brochure and web shop say and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: KLS Martin maXium smart Q (MMBB) and maXium smart E (MMB, MBB) units: sockets, software options for the current types in use, SWAP Mode, footswitches, Beam argon flow, cart accessories, site supply and room conditions. See everything this validator covers

This validator models orders for new maXium smart Q and E units, all configured identically, based on the public KLS Martin brochure 91-350-87-02 and web shop article pages, not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Variants and sockets — the Q (MMBB) has two monopolar and two bipolar sockets, the E MMB two monopolar and one bipolar, the E MBB one monopolar and two bipolar; international (i-version) instruments need the Q or the E MMB.
  • Software options — GI currents, SealSafe IQ, Duo currents, bipolar resection (TUR), Neptun and SWAP Mode are separate options that must be ordered when the currents or function are in use; SWAP Mode switches between up to five programs.
  • Footswitches and accessories — the SWAP footswitch, two dual-pedal footswitches (enhanced footswitch option), the Beam argon flow (0.1 to 12 l/min) and the cart accessories.
  • Site conditions — mains 100 V to 240 V with 10 percent tolerance, ambient temperature +10 to +40 °C, relative humidity 30 to 75 percent.
  • Stated mains load — the total the order states must equal 650 VA per unit at maximum power.

Any order for these units that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (KLS Martin does not publish prices, so this page shows no price build-up), the maXium smart C, OR tables and lights, implants, and anything the brochure does not state.

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 depend on the current types in useOnly with care
Each software option unlocks specific current types, so a rule per option must read what the surgeons will use.		The currents in use and the options on the order are checked together on every call.
Sockets that depend on the variantOnly with care
The number of monopolar and bipolar sockets and the international socket differ by variant, so each variant needs its own rule.		Instruments needed are compared with the variant sockets in one place.
A stated total that must equal a sumOnly with care
The mains load the order states must be compared with a sum over the units ordered, which rules must maintain.		The stated load is a field in the request and is compared with the computed sum.
Site conditionsEasy
Ranges for mains, temperature and humidity are simple validation rules.		Checked with the rest, in the same answer.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the order is saved or a step is completed, so a person often fixes one error and meets the next.		All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

  

  

    
What this validator catches: findings from its test cases
Click to expand
    
Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the order; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

    
1Bipolar sockets on this variant: 1; bipolar instruments the order needs connected at once: 2.
2Monopolar sockets on this variant: 1; monopolar instruments the order needs connected at once: 2.
3Monopolar sockets on this variant: 2; monopolar instruments the order needs connected at once: 3.
4The maXium smart E MBB has only KLS Martin (m-version) sockets; international (i-version) instruments connect to the M2 socket of the Q (MMBB) and the E MMB.
5The Polyp, Papilla and Mucosect currents need the GI software option (80-094-06-04), which must be ordered separately; it is not on the order.
6The Seal Safe and Bipolate currents need the SealSafe IQ software option (80-094-05-04), which must be ordered separately; it is not on the order.
7The Duo Prep Plus and Duo Spray currents need the Duo currents software option (80-094-01-04), which must be ordered separately; it is not on the order.
8The Duo currents use both monopolar outputs at once; the E MBB has one monopolar socket, so a person should confirm the use.
9The URO Bipolar Blend Cut, Pure Cut and Coag currents need the bipolar resection (TUR) software option (80-094-04-04), which must be ordered separately; it is not on the order.
10The Neptun current needs the Neptun software option (80-094-02-04), which must be ordered separately; it is not on the order.
11Switching between predefined programs from the sterile area is the SWAP Mode software option (80-094-00-04), which must be ordered separately; the order asks for 3 SWAP programs without it.
12SWAP Mode switches between up to five predefined programs; the order asks for 6.
13The dual-pedal footswitch with SWAP button (80-830-21-04) is on the order without the SWAP Mode option (80-094-00-04), so a person should confirm it.
14The enhanced footswitch option (80-094-07-04) allows two dual-pedal footswitches; the order has 2 per unit without it, so a person should confirm it.
15The maXium smart Beam argon flow is 0.1 to 12 l/min; the order asks for 13 l/min.
16An argon flow is requested but no maXium smart Beam is on the order, so a person should confirm the customer has one.
17The standard rail, separating transformer and gas bottle holder are described as for the maXium smart Cart; the order has no Cart, so a person should confirm the customer has one.
18The unit takes 100 V to 240 V with a tolerance of 10 percent (90 V to 264 V) at 50/60 Hz; the site supply is 85 V.
19The unit takes 100 V to 240 V with a tolerance of 10 percent (90 V to 264 V) at 50/60 Hz; the site supply is 265 V.
20The unit operates at an ambient temperature of +10 to +40 °C; the room is at 8 °C.
21The unit operates at an ambient temperature of +10 to +40 °C; the room is at 41 °C.
22The unit operates at a relative humidity of 30 to 75 percent; the room is at 80 percent.
23The order states a mains load of 1000 VA at maximum power; 2 units at 650 VA each add up to 1300 VA.
24An order needs at least 1 unit; the order has 0.
25The maXium smart Beam argon flow is 0.1 to 12 l/min; the order asks for 14 l/min.

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 KLS Martin maXium smart Q and maXium smart E electrosurgical units for a hospital: which variant, the software options for the current types the surgeons use, SWAP Mode, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of what the public KLS Martin brochure and web shop say 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 prepare an order for 3 x maXium smart E MBB (80-043-12-04), each connected to 2 monopolar and 1 bipolar instrument. Software options: none. The rest of the request is on screen. The order states a total mains load of 1,950 VA at maximum power.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with three findings, all in one answer. Monopolar sockets on this variant: 1; monopolar instruments the order needs connected at once: 2. The maXium smart E MBB has only KLS Martin (m-version) sockets; international (i-version) instruments connect to the M2 socket of the Q (MMBB) and the E MMB. The URO Bipolar Blend Cut, Pure Cut and Coag currents need the bipolar resection (TUR) software option (80-094-04-04), which must be ordered separately; it is not on the order.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned three 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 order are checked against each other.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for options that depend on the current types in use, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the variant to maXium smart E MMB (80-043-11-04).
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Still blocked, with one finding, all in one answer. The URO Bipolar Blend Cut, Pure Cut and Coag currents need the bipolar resection (TUR) software option (80-094-04-04), which must be ordered separately; it is not on the order.
    12. 
      
  12. Two findings cleared. Still blocking: bipolar TUR option missing.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the options ordered to bipolar TUR.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. The earlier finding is cleared.
    18. 
      
  18. Three problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, and a clean order. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
    19.
