| Abstract
The IEEE 1073 standard developed for communication between
medical devices provides clinicians to link patient
connected bedside medical devices to a bedside patient
monitoring device or a computer network in a very simple
and standard manner.
This white paper describes a generic
and scalable framework which can be used to implement
the IEEE 1073 stack. The framework covers the application,
presentation and session layers as defined by the standard
and does not delve into the details of implementing
a reliable data transport mechanism. It is assumed that
data transport would be achieved using technologies
such as Infra Red, Radio frequency or TCP/IP. Interfacing
of existing patient monitoring devices with the IEEE1073
stack is also presented in the paper.
