5.2.1

Overview

Consulting and Requirement Analysis
This is the preliminary feasibility phase. It involves drafting preliminary layouts to verify the
location and technical suitability.
Pre-Planning
Before any Buzz solution is confirmed or scheduled for installation, the Brainlab technical
consultants need to be involved.
All customer information (name, address, designated contact persons, status of the OR, interface
devices, plan and section of OR and surrounding rooms) has to be provided to the Brainlab
technical consultant for pre-planning and preliminary layout proposals.
These layouts should be checked in detail by the customer and local architects, especially with
respect to the position of the central ceiling axis and the area covered by ceiling-mounted devices.
The customer must approve the proposed locations of the devices.
On-Site Visit
The Brainlab technical consultant, the customer and the local architects must agree on:
• The reworked OR layout (including all devices)
• All technical issues (ceiling substructure, final location of devices, etc.)
• A timeline (next steps, possible delivery, and installation date)
• The scope of work packages for all involved parties and trades (if required)
Detailed Planning
Brainlab completes a detailed set of planning/construction drawings, which have to be approved
(i.e., "signed off") by the customer. The detailed project timeline is issued by Brainlab and must be
confirmed by the customer.
Production
This is the preparation phase for the customer, Brainlab and other involved parties. In this phase
the following points are achieved:
• Issuance of final layout drawings by Brainlab
• Brainlab orders site-specific parts; preassembly and testing in Germany
• On-site preparation by customer, as specified in the Brainlab planning drawings
• On-site shipment of all Brainlab components
Installation
This phase includes the on-site installation of Brainlab components by Brainlab as well as system
integration and testing by Brainlab installation engineers.
Training
Brainlab support provides device and maintenance training, as well as acceptance and user
training.
