Respiratory Care
Ventilators and anesthesia machines generate critical data every second: tidal volume, minute ventilation, PEEP, FiO₂, airway pressure. This data needs to be recorded completely, yet it has mostly lived in manual charting or isolated systems, out of reach of the electronic medical record.
The limits of manual charting
Respiratory therapists transcribe ventilator settings every two hours. It eats into valuable working time and still leaves no complete, continuous record. Every ventilator brand has its own interface and data format, which makes integration harder still.
Automatic FHIR records
Once Drive is connected to the ventilator or anesthesia machine, it automatically reads the operating data from the RS-232 output and uploads it as standard HL7 FHIR resources to a hospital-designated server, from which it is brought into the HIS and EMR, reducing manual transcription. Trend charts and similar features come from the system it is paired with.
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.
Ventilators with waveform value parsing
Other models (e.g. PB840, V60, SLE, ST30, Astral) do not expose waveform data in their vendor protocols and are supported for parameter logging only.

Technical Advantages
Multi-vendor
Supports Dräger, Hamilton, Maquet, GE, Philips and other major brands.
Continuous Data Capture
Several parameter readings per minute, plus stored waveform values on supported models, preserving the full trajectory of change.
FHIR Standard
Observation resources, interoperable with systems worldwide.
Large Language Model Integration
Optional eMicro system feature: lengthy records are organized into draft summaries for clinical staff to review
Progress Note Summaries
Multi-day and multi-week progress notes organized into a draft summary, easing the burden of record review.
Operative Report Summaries
Lengthy operative reports organized into a draft summary, for easier handover and cross-specialty review.
Handover Summaries
Key points from records across shifts compiled for handover reference.
Deployed on-premises. Data never leaves the hospital.
The language model can be deployed privately on your hospital's own servers with no Internet connection. Clinical data never leaves the hospital network, reducing the risk of data leakage.
Flexible Deployment Options
Choose the integration path that fits your existing IT architecture
Drive + Your Existing Systems
Purchase Drive units only and consume the standard HL7 FHIR output in your existing HIS, EMR or quality management system. Keep your current architecture and reduce rollout cost and retraining.
Best for: hospitals with mature information systems
Drive + eMicro Software
A complete turnkey solution: Drive units paired with eMicro's respiratory data management and reporting system. Full parameter records, trend charts and reports out of the box.
Best for: departments that want a one-stop rollout
Configuration note: Drive units are deployed 1:1 with ventilators and anesthesia machines. One Drive per device; plan quantities based on your device count.
