Device Server replaces dial-up modems in Medical Facilities
1. Network-enabling Healthcare Monitoring Devices
Healthcare Facilities such as hospitals and laboratories rely mostly
upon monitoring devices like blood analyzers, pulse oximeters, and liquid
analyzers to efficiently diagnose and treat patients.
Most of the above mentioned monitoring devices have a serial port, rely
on a dedicated PC and a manual data collection process that requires the
valuable time of medical personnel such as nurses and technicians- time
that could be better spent on patient care, monitoring and diagnostics.
Therefore, the customer began looking to add network connectivity to
effectively monitor these devices from remote locations; however, they
realized that a cost-effective Multi-port device server was required. They
also wanted to have a flexibility to reset their Medical devices when an
event occurs at serial side. With these requirements in mind, the Sena
Business Partner recommended a solution, the HelloDevice SS800 and they
are using now.
In addition to the Serial to Ethernet conversion functionality that
enables the customer to monitor measurement devices remotely, Sena has
provided a customized application, which is featured with "serial-break"
signal and can be uploaded to the SS800's user space. By adding the
"serial-break" signal application, the SS800, is now able to send a break
signal to Medical devices that resets when an event occurs at serial side,
which the customer has desired.
The customer is now happy with the "serial-break" signal functionality
that is provided by the Customization features of the Super Series.

STS800 and
STS1600
Benefits:
- The benefits of network-enabling medical monitoring devices
include: facilitates remote management of multiple serial patient care
devices via LANs or WANs; reduces cabling; retain existing equipment;
and access via a standard web browser, Telnet, SSH, and user's
software.
2. Network-enabling Medical Equipment
The Healthcare industry is an ever growing segment of the market with
their services and support. As Healthcare providers grow they have the
need to expand their infrastructure while maintaining reasonable costs.
Sena Technologies products allow for cost effective, quick setup,
enabling you to network enable medical equipment. Thus, lowering costly
upgrades to already expensive medical equipment. In a hospital setting,
the speed at which tests can be conducted is a very important sample.
Usually samples, require that the test results pass through a couple of
testing departments before it can get back to the doctors to expedite a
proper treatment. By network enabling serial based medical equipment, some
of the processes can be automated, as a result increases the speed at
which test can be run and displayed. Also, since the medical device are
now able to communicate throughout the network, medical officials can view
and analyze medical data remotely from anywhere within their network
infrastructure.
Solutions: PS110,
PS410
and
PS810
Benefits:
- Low-Cost solutions allowing you to network enable your devices.
- Flexibility to remotely monitor and control and monitor healthcare
devices.
- Easy access and quick device configuration of the HelloDevice, by
way of a Web Browser, telnet.
3. Network-enabling Vascular Machines
The Healthcare industry is an ever growing segment of the market with
their services and support. As Healthcare providers grow they have the
need to expand their infrastructure while maintaining reasonable costs.
Customer was looking for a flexible solution that allowed them to
develop an online diagnostic tool for their vascular machines. The SS100
with its customizability features allowed Customer to make use of the
Super Series' built-in web server and custom application features (allows
you to manipulate the data coming to and from the Super Series Device
Server), as a result being able to implement their diagnostic tool quickly
and efficiently.
Solutions: SS100,
STS400,
STS800 and
STS1600
Benefits:
- Low-Cost solutions allowing you to network enable your devices.
- Flexibility to remotely monitor and control and monitor healthcare
devices.
- Easy access and quick device configuration of the HelloDevice, by
way of a Web Browser, telnet.
- Flexible Customizability options, such as, built-in Web Server,
C-based custom application, etc.,
- Use of Embedded Linux Operating system..
4. Network-enabling Blood Analyzers
The Healthcare industry is an ever growing segment of the market with
their services and support. As Healthcare providers grow they have the
need to expand their infrastructure while maintaining reasonable costs.
Sena Technologies products allow for cost effective, quick setup,
enabling you to network enable blood analyzers. By network enabling blood
analyzers, this allows medical device manufacturers to bring their current
product lineup up-to-date with today's networking standards without the
need of costly redesigns. Sena Technologies also provides medical device
manufacturers with the option to take advantage of Sena's OEM partnership
program, which allows them to private label or customize Sena's devices to
meet the needs of the manufacturer.

5. Device Server replaces dial-up modems in Medical Facilities
The Healthcare industry is an ever growing segment of the market with
their services and support. Many Healthcare Institutions still implement
dial-up communication lines with-in their infrastructure, due to the slow
and unstable nature of the dial-up connection, this predicament can cause
Healthcare Institutions many problems and delay medical results to where
they are needed. As Healthcare providers grow they have the need to expand
their infrastructure while maintaining reasonable costs, especially when
upgrading from a dial-up connection to a high-density Ethernet/Broadband
based system.
Before:
After:
Since some medical network infrastructures still use dial-up
networking, Sena Technologies products allow for cost effective, quick
setup, enabling you to network enable medical equipment, and other serial
based equipment. Also, customers can take advantage of the HelloDevice Pro
Series modem emulation ability. Modem emulation allows customers to remove
old dial-up modems, and replace those modems with a high-bandwidth network
connection. The HelloDevice Pro Series can accept basic AT commands, like
the commands found on modems, and allows your dial-up based software to
make a connection to your new high-speed infrastructure. The modem
emulation feature also allows customers to retain old software without
having to buy or upgrade existing software.
