Vital signs interface (92843)
The Vital Signs Interface seamlessly links patient monitors to your Clinical Information System (CIS) via a single scalable HL7 interface. Automatic data transfer eliminates the need for nurses to enter data manually into the patient’s chart. Charting is fast, complete, accurate, and comprehensive, incorporating Flexport data from peripheral devices as well.

ADT interface (92842)
The ADT Interface collects admission, discharge and transfer information via the hospital network and stores it in a centralized database. This enables you to automatically populate current patient information in the monitor, saving time and reducing the potential for errors in data entry. Patient administrative data is readily available, without searching in other systems. Our bar code scanning technology can help to automate the process.

Enterprise Network Interface (92848)
The Enterprise Network Interface (ENI) provides the basis for a hospital’s secondary alarm notification system.

12-Lead electrocardiogram interface (92877)
The 12-Lead Interface enables you to export diagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG) reports from a Spacelabs bedside monitor to an ECG management system, eliminating the need for an ECG cart and technician. The interface delivers reports through a single link to your ECG management system in the format required by that system. It works with all major ECG management systems, such as GE Muse or Phillips Tracemaster.

Additional interfacing
The monitors also support serial transfer of data using PDL, Vitalink and Capsule technology. This is of particular relevance to anesthetic monitoring and with Flexport interfaces.

Network implementation

Spacelabs’ monitors can view, control, review and record other monitors in real time.

To support this we use the minimum possible level of traffic on the network.

This enables us to use the hospital network for connections between services and to the central database. This is the only practical method for capturing data from wireless portable monitors using the hospital’s wireless provision. The need for separate or duplicate networks is thus removed. It supports real time views across ED, surgery and critical care.

Enterprise Connectivity
Our peer to peer architecture removes any dependency on central stations, reducing points of failure and simplifying the flow of data to the database. Vital signs data is collected and accessed from high dependency beds on wards as effectively as from critical care units with central stations.
