Accounting Policies [Abstract]
The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Business Vocera Communications, Inc. (the “Company” or "Vocera") is a provider of secure, integrated, intelligent communication solutions, focused on empowering mobile workers in healthcare, hospitality, energy, and other mission-critical mobile work environments, in the United States and internationally. The significant majority of the Company's business is currently generated from sales of its solutions in the healthcare market to help its customers improve patient safety and experience, and increase operational efficiency. As of September 30, 2015 the Company's solutions have been installed in more than 1,300 facilities worldwide. The Vocera Communication System, which includes an intelligent enterprise software platform, a lightweight, wearable, voice-controlled communication badge, and smartphone applications, enables users to connect instantly with other staff simply by saying the name, function or group name of the desired recipient. It also securely delivers text messages and alerts directly to and from smartphones, replacing legacy pagers. Other software applications help improve care coordination, patient safety, and patient satisfaction. Basis of Presentation The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and include the accounts of Vocera and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from the Company's audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim consolidated financial information. The results for the quarter presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or for any other interim period or any other future year. Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. The estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, excess and obsolete inventory charges, warranty reserves, stock-based compensation expense, provisions for income taxes and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Revenue Recognition The Company derives revenue from the sales of communication badges, perpetual software licenses for software that is essential to the functionality of the communication badges, smartphones, software maintenance, extended product warranty and professional services. The Company also derives revenue from the sale of licenses for software that is not essential to the functionality of the communication badges and certain hosted software subscriptions. The Company's revenue recognition policy has not changed from that described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . Transfer of sales-type leases to third-parties Proceeds from transfers of sales-type leases to third-party financial companies are allocated between the net investment in sales-type leases and the executory cost component for remaining service obligations based on relative present value. The difference between the amount of proceeds allocated to the net investment in lease and the carrying value of the net investment in lease is included in product revenue. Proceeds allocated to the executory cost component are accounted for as financing liabilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company transferred $1.4 million and $1.0 million , respectively, of lease receivables in non-recourse sales to third-party financial companies, with immaterial net gains (losses). For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company recorded $0.8 million and $0.6 million , respectively, of financing liabilities for future performance of executory service obligations. For lease receivables retained as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company recorded $1.4 million and $0.9 million of net investment in sales-type leases, respectively, equivalent to the minimum lease payments less the unearned interest portion. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB together with the International Accounting Standards Board issued converged guidance for revenue recognition that will replace most existing guidance, eliminate industry-specific guidance and provide a unified model for determining how and when revenue from contracts with customers should be recognized. Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will also introduce additional disclosures, changes in asset and liability accounting, and changes in gain/loss recognition for asset transfers unrelated to customer transactions. In July 2015 the FASB affirmed a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue standard. The Company’s effective date for this standard will be the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date of annual periods after December 15, 2016. Two methods of transition are provided: a full retrospective approach, with certain practical expedients allowed, and a cumulative effect method, with balance sheet adjustment as of January 1, 2018. The Company is evaluating the effect the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the future effect of the standard on its financial position or results of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instrum

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	9 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are carried at their fair values with any differences from their amortized cost recorded in equity as unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities. As a basis for determining the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company follows a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , there have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value instruments and no transfers in or out of Level 3. The Company's money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The fair value of the Company's Level 2 fixed income securities are obtained from independent pricing services, which may use quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments or model-driven valuations using observable market data or other inputs corroborated by observable market data. The Company does not have any financial instruments which are valued using Level 3 inputs. The Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , are summarized as follows (in thousands): September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Total Level 1 Level 2 Total Assets Money market funds $ 8,315 $ — $ 8,315 $ 7,795 $ — $ 7,795 Commercial paper — — — 3,225 3,225 U.S. government agency securities — 13,066 13,066 — 5,955 5,955 U.S. Treasury securities — 3,521 3,521 — 4,043 4,043 Municipal debt securities — — — 3,924 3,924 Corporate debt securities — 83,016 83,016 — 82,517 82,517 Total assets measured at fair value $ 8,315 $ 99,603 $ 107,918 $ 7,795 $ 99,664 $ 107,459 The Company had no liabilities as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The unrealized losses for the short-term investments have all been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months. The Company’s conclusion of no “other than temporary impairment” is based on the high credit quality of the securities, their short remaining maturity (less than eight months, weighted average) and the Company’s intent and ability to hold such loss securities until maturity. Classification of the cash, cash equivalent and short-term investments by contractual maturity was as follows: (in thousands) One year or shorter Between 1 and 2 years Total Balances as of September 30, 2015 Cash and cash equivalents (1) $ 16,448 $ — $ 16,448 Short-term investments 78,004 21,599 99,603 Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments $ 94,452 $ 21,599 $ 116,051 Balances as of December 31, 2014 Cash and cash equivalents (1) $ 22,615 $ — $ 22,615 Short-term investments 76,917 16,729 93,646 Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments $ 99,532 $ 16,729 $ 116,261 (1) Includes demand deposits and other cash, money market funds and other cash equivalent securities, all with 0-90 day maturity at purchase. All the above tables exclude restricted cash, primarily held in certificates of deposit, of zero and $0.1 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively, which is classified within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the balance sheet.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company had $10.0 million and $10.0 million of goodwill, respectively, allocated to the Company's Product operating segment. As of September 30, 2015 , there were no changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying values of goodwill or acquired intangibles may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company performed the annual goodwill impairment test as of September 30, 2015, using the qualitative approach (or "Step Zero") as permitted by relevant accounting guidelines for goodwill impairment testing. Based on the Step Zero analysis performed, the Company concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the Product operating segment was less than its carrying amount and no impairment had been incurred. Intangible Assets Acquisition-related intangible assets are amortized either straight-line, or over the life of the assets on a basis that resembles the economic benefit of the assets. This yields amortization in the latter case that is higher in earlier periods of the useful life. The estimated useful lives and carrying value of acquired intangible assets are as follows: September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 (in thousands) Range of Useful Life (years) Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Developed technology 4 to 7 $ 3,650 $ 1,973 $ 1,677 $ 2,710 $ 1,693 $ 1,017 Customer relationships 7 to 9 2,520 1,883 637 2,520 1,722 798 Non-compete agreements 2 to 4 460 216 244 460 91 369 Trademarks and trade names 4 to 7 110 75 35 110 63 47 Intangible assets - finite life 6,740 4,147 2,593 5,800 3,569 2,231 In-process research and development n/a — — — 940 — 940 Intangible assets, net book value $ 6,740 $ 4,147 $ 2,593 $ 6,740 $ 3,569 $ 3,171 Amortization expense was $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Amortization expense was $0.6 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is reflected in the cost of revenue or operating expenses, depending on the nature of the intangible. The estimated future amortization of existing acquired intangible assets as of September 30, 2015 , excluding in-process R&D, was as follows: (in thousands) Future amortization 2015 (three months remaining) $ 227 2016 719 2017 551 2018 432 2019 386 2020 201 Thereafter 77 Future amortization expense $ 2,593

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure	Commitments and Contingencies Non-cancelable Material Commitments The Company is required to purchase unused, non-cancelable, non-returnable raw material inventory that was purchased by its contract manufacturers based on committed finished goods orders from the Company, certain long lead-time raw materials based on the Company’s forecast and current work-in-progress materials. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , approximately $5.7 million and $1.9 million , respectively, of such inventory was purchased and held by the third-party manufacturers which was subject to these purchase guarantees. Leases The Company leases office space for its headquarters and subsidiaries under non-cancelable operating leases, which will expire between December 2015 and March 2022. In April 2015, the Company extended the lease on the San Jose, California headquarters through March 2022. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period, and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid. Facilities rent expense was $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Facilities rent expense was $1.7 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Future minimum lease payments at September 30, 2015 under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows: (in thousands) Operating leases 2015 (remaining three months) $ 436 2016 1,636 2017 1,518 2018 1,460 2019 1,503 2020 1,549 Thereafter 1,997 Total minimum lease payments $ 10,099 Indemnifications The Company undertakes, in the ordinary course of business, to (i) defend customers and other parties from certain third-party claims associated with allegations of trade secret misappropriation, infringement of copyright, patent or other intellectual property rights, tortious damage to persons or property or breaches of certain Company obligations relating to confidentiality (e.g., safeguarding protected health information) and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless such parties from certain resulting damages, costs and other liabilities. The term of these undertakings may be perpetual and the maximum potential liability of the Company under certain of these undertakings is not determinable. Based on its historical experience, the Company believes the liability associated with these undertakings is minimal. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual. The Company currently has directors and officers insurance. As there has been no significant history of losses, no expense accrual has been made. Securities Litigation On August 1 and 21, 2013, two putative securities class action suits were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company and certain of its officers, its board of directors, a former director and the underwriters for the Company's initial public offering. On November 20, 2013, the court consolidated the actions as In re Vocera Communications, Inc. Securities Litigation and appointed Lead Plaintiffs. Lead Plaintiffs filed their consolidated complaint on September 19, 2014. The consolidated complaint names certain current and former officers and directors and the underwriters for the Company's initial public offering and secondary offering and alleges claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2) and 15 of the Securities Act and Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act based on allegedly false and materially misleading statements and omissions in the registration statement for the Company's initial public offering and secondary offering and in communications regarding its business and financial results. The suit is purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of the Company's securities between March 28, 2012 and May 2, 2013, and seeks compensatory damages, rescission, fees and costs, as well as other relief. On November 3, 2014, Defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On February 11, 2015, the Court granted Defendants' motion to dismiss the Securities Act claims, but denied the motion as to the Exchange Act claims, allowing the matter to proceed on that basis. On April 27, 2015, Defendants filed answers to the consolidated complaint. In connection with a mediation, an agreement in principle to settle the suit was reached in October 2015. The settlement, which is subject to the parties' execution of final settlement documents and the approval of the Court, calls for payment of $9 million , which will be funded entirely by the Company's insurance carriers. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of this matter. The Company is unable at this time to determine whether the outcome of the litigation would have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flow. The Company has not established any reserve for any potential liability relating to this lawsuit because this contingency is not considered probable and reasonably estimable. From time to time, the Company may be involved in other lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, consisting of intellectual property, commercial, employment and other matters which arise in the ordinary course of business.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company recorded a $0.4 million provision and $0.2 million provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The provision in both periods was primarily due to taxes on international operations and state income taxes. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company has provided a valuation allowance against certain federal and state deferred tax assets. Management continues to evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance. If management's assessment of the deferred tax assets or the corresponding valuation allowance were to change, the Company would record the related adjustment to income during the period in which management makes the determination. As of September 30, 2015 , there were no material changes to either the nature or the amounts of the uncertain tax positions previously determined for the year ended December 31, 2014 .

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combination Disclosure	Business Acquisitions Acquisition of mVisum net assets On January 13, 2014 , the Company acquired certain assets and certain liabilities of mVisum, Inc. (“mVisum”), an innovative provider of alarm management technology solutions for health systems, for $3.5 million in cash. The acquisition enabled the Company to enhance its existing platform with complementary communications solutions for healthcare. The following table presents the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date: (in thousands) Fair value of net assets acquired Accounts receivable $ 187 Intangibles Developed technology 830 Non-compete agreement 260 Customer relationships 170 Trademarks and trade names 40 Goodwill 2,103 Total assets 3,590 Deferred revenue (90 ) Net assets acquired $ 3,500 The estimated fair values of identifiable intangible assets were primarily determined using discounted cash flow models. The acquired intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 4.0 to 7.0 years with a weighted average amortization period of 5.7 years. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair values of the underlying net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is largely attributable to the synergy of mVisum’s proprietary solutions with the Company’s existing customer base, dedicated sales force and cross selling opportunities with the Company’s other solutions. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present. For federal income tax purposes, the entire purchase consideration, including goodwill, is deductible over fifteen years. The goodwill recorded from the acquisition of mVisum is attributed to the Product reporting unit. The Company incurred $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs that were expensed as incurred during the year ended December 31, 2014. These costs are recorded as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition, the Company established a retention bonus plan for former mVisum employees who are now employees of the Company with potential additional compensation over a two-year period of approximately $0.5 million , based on achievement of operating objectives and continued employment. Such amounts are not considered part of the purchase consideration and are being recorded as earned as compensation expense. The acquisition did not result in material contributions to revenue or net loss in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. Additionally, pro forma financial information is not provided for consolidated revenue and net loss as such amounts attributable to mVisum were insignificant. Acquisition of Prana Technologies assets On August 8, 2014, the Company acquired substantially all assets of Prana Technologies, Inc. (“Prana”) for $3.45 million in cash. The acquisition provides the Company with technology critical to cloud-based applications extending our communication and collaboration network to include physicians and other geographically dispersed users. The Company believes this will advance its vision of integrating voice, text, and content-based workflows, on a range of devices and desktop solutions, across all care locations. The following table presents the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date: (in thousands) Fair value of net assets acquired Intangibles Non-compete agreement $ 200 In-process research and development 940 Goodwill 2,310 Total assets acquired $ 3,450 The estimated fair values of identifiable intangible assets were primarily determined using discounted cash flow models. The non-compete intangible has an estimated useful life of two years and the in-process research and development was initially classified as an asset with an indefinite life. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the product offering associated with the in-process research and development became generally available. This developed technology has an estimated useful life of six years. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair values of the underlying net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is largely attributable to the synergy of Prana’s proprietary cloud technology expanding upon and being integrated with the Company’s other solutions. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment are present. For federal income tax purposes, the entire purchase consideration, including goodwill, is deductible over fifteen years. The goodwill recorded from the acquisition of Prana is attributed to the Product reporting unit. The agreement also included contingent payments to the selling stockholders payable based on certain employee retention requirements and the achievement of a post-acquisition quality milestone. The Company considered these contingent payments as a compensation expense due to the explicit and implied continuing employment requirements associated with earning such contingent payments. The company paid $0.8 million in compensation-related elements at the acquisition date, which was amortized as $0.5 million and $0.3 million in the third and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively. These costs were recorded primarily as general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. In addition, the Company expensed $0.1 million of acquisition-related costs in the third quarter of 2014. The acquisition did not result in material contributions to revenue or net loss in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date, other than the compensation elements discussed above. Additionally, pro forma financial information is not provided for consolidated revenue and net loss, since the acquisition was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of Operations	Organization and Business Vocera Communications, Inc. (the “Company” or "Vocera") is a provider of secure, integrated, intelligent communication solutions, focused on empowering mobile workers in healthcare, hospitality, energy, and other mission-critical mobile work environments, in the United States and internationally. The significant majority of the Company's business is currently generated from sales of its solutions in the healthcare market to help its customers improve patient safety and experience, and increase operational efficiency. As of September 30, 2015 the Company's solutions have been installed in more than 1,300 facilities worldwide. The Vocera Communication System, which includes an intelligent enterprise software platform, a lightweight, wearable, voice-controlled communication badge, and smartphone applications, enables users to connect instantly with other staff simply by saying the name, function or group name of the desired recipient. It also securely delivers text messages and alerts directly to and from smartphones, replacing legacy pagers. Other software applications help improve care coordination, patient safety, and patient satisfaction.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and include the accounts of Vocera and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 . The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from the Company's audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim consolidated financial information. The results for the quarter presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or for any other interim period or any other future year.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. The estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, excess and obsolete inventory charges, warranty reserves, stock-based compensation expense, provisions for income taxes and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material to the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company derives revenue from the sales of communication badges, perpetual software licenses for software that is essential to the functionality of the communication badges, smartphones, software maintenance, extended product warranty and professional services. The Company also derives revenue from the sale of licenses for software that is not essential to the functionality of the communication badges and certain hosted software subscriptions. The Company's revenue recognition policy has not changed from that described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 .
Lease, Policy	Transfer of sales-type leases to third-parties Proceeds from transfers of sales-type leases to third-party financial companies are allocated between the net investment in sales-type leases and the executory cost component for remaining service obligations based on relative present value. The difference between the amount of proceeds allocated to the net investment in lease and the carrying value of the net investment in lease is included in product revenue. Proceeds allocated to the executory cost component are accounted for as financing liabilities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB together with the International Accounting Standards Board issued converged guidance for revenue recognition that will replace most existing guidance, eliminate industry-specific guidance and provide a unified model for determining how and when revenue from contracts with customers should be recognized. Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will also introduce additional disclosures, changes in asset and liability accounting, and changes in gain/loss recognition for asset transfers unrelated to customer transactions. In July 2015 the FASB affirmed a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new revenue standard. The Company’s effective date for this standard will be the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date of annual periods after December 15, 2016. Two methods of transition are provided: a full retrospective approach, with certain practical expedients allowed, and a cumulative effect method, with balance sheet adjustment as of January 1, 2018. The Company is evaluating the effect the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the future effect of the standard on its financial position or results of operations.
Fair Value of Fin. Instruments, Policy	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are carried at their fair values with any differences from their amortized cost recorded in equity as unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities. As a basis for determining the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company follows a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions. This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , there have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value instruments and no transfers in or out of Level 3. The Company's money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The fair value of the Company's Level 2 fixed income securities are obtained from independent pricing services, which may use quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments or model-driven valuations using observable market data or other inputs corroborated by observable market data. The Company does not have any financial instruments which are valued using Level 3 inputs.
Goodwill, Policy	Goodwill As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company had $10.0 million and $10.0 million of goodwill, respectively, allocated to the Company's Product operating segment. As of September 30, 2015 , there were no changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying values of goodwill or acquired intangibles may not be recoverable.
Intangible Assets, Policy	Intangible Assets Acquisition-related intangible assets are amortized either straight-line, or over the life of the assets on a basis that resembles the economic benefit of the assets. This yields amortization in the latter case that is higher in earlier periods of the useful life.
Purchase commitments	Non-cancelable Material Commitments The Company is required to purchase unused, non-cancelable, non-returnable raw material inventory that was purchased by its contract manufacturers based on committed finished goods orders from the Company, certain long lead-time raw materials based on the Company’s forecast and current work-in-progress materials. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , approximately $5.7 million and $1.9 million , respectively, of such inventory was purchased and held by the third-party manufacturers which was subject to these purchase guarantees.
Operating leases	Leases The Company leases office space for its headquarters and subsidiaries under non-cancelable operating leases, which will expire between December 2015 and March 2022. In April 2015, the Company extended the lease on the San Jose, California headquarters through March 2022. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period, and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid. Facilities rent expense was $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.
Segment Reporting, Policy	The Company has two operating segments, which are both reportable business segments: (i) Product and (ii) Service, both of which are comprised of Vocera’s and its wholly-owned subsidiaries’ results of operations.
