SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUS FOR MEDICAL DEVICE INTERFACE CONNECTIVITY
First Claim
1. A medical device interface system comprising:
- a device interface connecting a medical device to a client system and enabling exchange of data between the medical device and the client system, the device interface comprising;
a plug and play detector detecting a connection of the medical device to the device interface; and
a serial agent gathering information from the medical device via a connection between the medical device and the device interface and selecting an appropriate device driver to operate and interact with the medical device connected to the device interface regardless of a presence or absence of an existing plug and play capability of the medical device.
