Clinical safety & methodology

Safeguards should be visible, specific, and testable.

CCT Critical Care is designed as supplemental professional reference and workflow support. Our methodology keeps sources, verification duties, privacy boundaries, and platform limits close to the feature they govern.

Professional reference only.

Never delay patient care while using the app. Independently verify all patient facts, values, units, concentrations, calculations, indications, contraindications, device settings, and recommendations against current authoritative sources and controlling clinical direction.

01

Sources remain traceable

Clinical references link to governing guidelines, product labeling, or official source material when applicable. A source label identifies provenance, not authorization or endorsement.

02

Unknown means unknown

Unsupported or insufficiently specific IV and Y-site compatibility information fails closed. Silence, related concentrations, drug class, or another administration method are not treated as evidence.

03

Verification is part of the workflow

Scanner output, imported information, calculations, facility designations, and nearby results remain unverified until a qualified professional compares them with the original source and current authoritative information.

04

Platform boundaries stay explicit

The Medication Library and transport Medications tab on native iOS are static references. Dedicated calculator routes remain interactive. Independently verify every calculation against the governing source, exact product label, institutional protocol, and medical direction before use.

05

Optional AI requires consent

Before each optional cloud-AI feature first transmits selected content, the app identifies the data, recipient, and purpose and requires affirmative consent. Users can decline or withdraw future permission.

06

Patient identifiers stay out

The app is not an electronic health record or secure clinical chart. Do not enter, photograph, import, or upload patient identifiers, faces, account credentials, or other protected or confidential information.

Calculation transparency

Show the work wherever a result is supported.

Interactive results keep units attached and expose governing formulas, entered values, conversions, uncapped results, applicable minimums or maximums, and rounding before the displayed answer.

Every output still requires independent verification and use within lawful scope, current protocol, and medical direction.
