What is the OCS System
The ocs system is a patented software instrumentation technology that allows you to monitor and log the behavior of your application as it runs. It also provides an easy way to change the execution of your application as it runs, making it easier to debug problems and test fixes. It is used by Ada developers and programmers to quickly identify and resolve issues. It is also used by software testing companies to help them find bugs and errors in their applications.
Most ocs systems use software instruments, which are less intrusive than hardware probes. These tools work on the machine code level to record data, read parameters and alter execution. They are not as flexible as hardware probes, but they do allow you to debug applications without modifying the source code or changing the execution of the application.
Some ocs systems require a wired sensor. Wired sensors are more reliable than wireless sensors because they are less susceptible to interference and tampering. They are also less expensive than wireless sensors. However, the downside of wired sensors is that they are vulnerable to cuts in the wiring. This may cause the sensor to malfunction, and it could also send an inaccurate signal to the airbag control unit.

A heart with a low ejection fraction is usually rejected for transplant because of a risk of primary graft dysfunction (PGD). The OCS Heart system has the potential to increase the donor pool by procuring marginal hearts and testing them in real-time on cardiopulmonary bypass to determine whether they improve their function.
The OCS heart system is being used in three NHS centres and is being introduced to a fourth. It is not a substitute for cold ischaemic storage, but can reduce the amount of time that hearts spend on the machine, and it is cheaper and does not require any additional facilities or technologies compared with cold ischaemic storage. The OCS system can be adapted to existing facilities and is simple to learn.
