Abstract: A digital communication apparatus for transmission of data from a medical device is disclosed. In an example, the digital communication apparatus includes an input interface configured for communicative coupling to a medical device and an output interface configured for communicative coupling to a medical network and a remote server. A processor of the digital communication apparatus receives medical data in a first data format from the medical device via the input interface. The processor selects a first subset of the medical data for transmission in the first data format to the remote server via an Ethernet port or a wireless port of the output interface. The processor also converts a second subset of the medical data to the second data format and transmits the second subset of the medical data in the second data format to the medical network via a serial port or the Ethernet port.

Abstract: A digital communication module for transmission of data from a medical device is disclosed. In an example, a digital communication apparatus includes an input interface configured for communicative coupling to a medical device and an output interface configured for communicative coupling to a medical network. A processor of the digital communication apparatus receives a configuration file that specifies one input port of the input interface and at least one output port of the output interface, a first data format, and a second data format. The processor installs drivers for the input and output ports specified by the configuration file, provisions the input interface with the specified input port to receive medical data from the medical device in the first data format, and provisions the output interface with the at least one specified output port to transmit the received medical data using the first data format and the second data format.
