Drive
A general-purpose, smaller-than-a-credit-card RS-232 data capture and upload device. Drive reads operating data from the RS-232 output of ventilators, dialysis machines and other equipment and uploads it to a designated server for storage, in the international HL7 FHIR format.
Six Core Features
Smaller Than a Credit Card
A footprint smaller than a credit card and under 2 cm thick, so it fits right beside the device.
Slide-Rail Mount
The rail plate sticks (or attaches magnetically) to the device surface, and Drive slides into the rail. No tools needed.
Under 2 W
Ultra-low power for stable 24/7 operation and negligible running cost.
RTOS Security
A real-time operating system with no OS vulnerabilities to patch and no antivirus overhead.
HL7 FHIR Native
Native support for the international standard, interoperating seamlessly with HIS, EMR and third-party systems.
Connection Status
View the connection status of each Drive.
Not Limited to Medical Devices
Drive is a general-purpose, single-port RS-232 data capture and upload device: any equipment with an RS-232 output connects the same way
Healthcare Facilities
Operating data from ventilators, dialysis machines, blood pressure monitors, height and weight scales and other equipment.
Energy & Facilities
Voltage, current and cumulative energy from smart meters.
Factory Equipment
Operating parameters and status from machines with an RS-232 output.
One Drive per device; data is uploaded without altering its content, in HL7 FHIR format, to one designated server for storage. Drive does not interpret the data.
Ventilator Waveform Data Storage
Supported models can parse the pressure (Paw), flow and volume waveform values from the ventilator's RS-232 output and upload them to a hospital-designated server for storage, for retrospective statistics and review.
See supported models →One Device, One Drive
Each device gets its own Drive, which uploads independently to the hospital-designated server
Bedside: one Drive per device
Each ventilator or dialysis machine gets its own Drive, which reads the device's RS-232 output and uploads it independently to the hospital-designated server. Ideal for ICU, CCU and dialysis units.
Moves with the device
Drive is held on the device by a slide rail and moves with it when the device changes beds or units, with no rewiring needed.
