1. A computer, comprising:
- a processor configured to be coupled to a medical device, wherein the processor is configured to execute routines for;
receiving an input representative of a medical device measurement data;
generating simulated medical information from the input;
comparing the simulated medical information to an expected result; and
determining a certification of the computer to generate medical information from the medical device based on the comparison.

Abstract
Provided herein are methods and apparatuses for certifying computers for use in conjunction with medical devices. These methods may be used in conjunction with a computer that includes software for operating the medical device. To certify a particular computer, one or more testing algorithms or routines for processing data, e.g., data representative of a typical output generated by use of the medical device on a patient, may be executed and the results may be compared to an expected result. In particular embodiments, the certification process may use data stored on the device itself to determine certification or may use data stored with or bundled with the software for operating the device.
