Abstract
A system includes an inductive backplane, at least one communications interface, a control unit and an intelligent power module. The inductive backplane is configured to secure and inductively power a plurality of detachable medical device modules. The control unit controls, via the at least one communications interface, at least one attribute of each medical device module when the medical device module is secured to the inductive backplane. The intelligent power module monitors at least one parameter of the detachable medical device modules. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
