Connection technology

Unity Network* ID offers “plug and play” connections through Device Identification Communication Adapters (DIDCA), which automatically identify a supported device as soon as it is connected. Includes optically isolated connections that meet basic safety requirements for devices used in proximity to patients. Indicator lights give the clinician immediate visual feedback once the connection is made.

Interface technology

Many third-party devices transmit data with an RS-232 interface. Unity Network ID repackages this data, transmits it through the Unity Network Ethernet protocol, then transmits it to a hospital system via an Aware Gateway interface. This interface provides a single point of access for all bedside data, streamlining the network architecture and cost of electronic information capture.
