Conges terminology question

Rosa (a guest user) asked this question:

Language pair:

French > English

Subject:

Medical

Level of diffculty:

Easy / medium

Word or term in question:

Bip

Context:

At the very bottom of a Certificat de décès:

Signature du médecin et Bip:

For some reason I can't find what a Bip is, though I know I've seen it before. The things I'm finding on a Google search (Bulletins d'Informations de Pharmacologie, Biologie Intégrative et Physiologie, or bracelet d'alarme médicale) don't seem to fit...or do they? This is a Swiss document.

Bulletin d'information post-mortem

My comment:

Since, it's a document that is issued by the medical team confirming the death of the person, stating the name, date and time of the death, etc.

Gross domestic product

My comment:

BIP in Swiss German or German means Gross Domestic Product but I am not necessarily convinced that that is what it means here on a death certificate but normally BIP [as opposed to Bip] means Gross Domestic Product - I should have thought Bulletins d'Informations de Pharmacologie would fit better here

beeper is an instant messaging software

un Bip : un dispositif d'alame

"... dispositif électronique d'alarme permettant aux médecins d'être géo-localisés et envoyer un signal de détresse ..."

So, at the bottom of the Certificate : "Signature: ...” and ”BEEP : (code/number, for contacts with (the doctor's) beeper)”
