CyberMedx Selects DPAC AirborneDirect LAN-to-Serial Bridge for Wireless Patient Data Management System.GARDEN GROVE Garden Grove, city (1990 pop. 143,050), Orange co., S Calif., a suburb of Long Beach and Los Angeles, on the Santa Ana River; founded 1877, inc. 1956. Many of its residents work in nearby aerospace and defense installations, and there is light manufacturing. , Calif. -- DPAC DPAC Denver Performing Arts Complex (CO, USA aka: DCPA) DPAC Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (insurance) DPAC District Parent Advisory Committee DPAC Dover Partnership Against Crime Technologies (Nasdaq:DPAC), the market leader in embedded and packaged 802.11 wireless networking See wireless network. solutions for a wide range of hospital and medical applications, announces that CyberMedx Medical Systems, the leading provider of information and communication management technology designed to significantly improve patient care and cut health care costs, has integrated DPAC's AirborneDirect(TM) LAN-to-Serial Bridge into its new CyberStat Wireless Patient Data Management System. The CyberStat System continuously monitors and simultaneously displays data on up to 32 hospital patients who can be connected to a host of medical monitors built by different manufacturers, for example, pulse oximeters, IV pumps, ventilators, capnographs and NIBP NIBP Non-Invasive Blood Pressure pumps. By plugging the DPAC AirborneDirect(TM) LAN-to-Serial Bridge into a medical monitor's serial interface, patient data is wirelessly transmitted to a central server connected to a hospital LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. . Aggregated patient data is then presented as a single display on a Windows-based PC in a central nursing station, where it can be accessed by physicians, nurses and medical technicians. The data can also be remotely accessed via the Internet or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) A handheld computer for managing contacts, appointments and tasks. It typically includes a name and address database, calendar, to-do list and note taker, which are the functions in a personal information manager (see PIM). . The DPAC AirborneDirect(TM) LAN-to-Serial Bridge is built around the Airborne(TM) Serial Bridge Module, which offers multi-protocol serial-to-802.11 capabilities. The bridge enables plug-and-play wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area connectivity with devices that incorporate an existing RS232/422/485 serial interface. For module development and customization, a development tools set is available. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2.

Ron Barnett, President, CyberMedx, CyberStat's wireless capability safeguards the integrity and completeness of patient data while enhancing patient mobility. "During hospital stays, patients routinely are moved around the hospital. Wireless capability, as it eliminates the need to disconnect and reconnect medical device cables when moving patients, ensures unbroken monitoring of patient data. This is vital to maintaining quality patient care. At the same time, as you're not dealing with cumbersome cables, wireless capability makes moving patients faster and easier." Reliability, says Barnett, is a key reason why CyberMedx chose the DPAC AirborneDirect(TM) LAN-to-Serial Bridge for the CyberStat System. "Because maintaining a steady patient data stream is central to CyberStat, we needed wireless technology that would provide the best possible data packet transmittal performance. The DPAC AirborneDirect(TM) LAN-to-Serial Bridge met that requirement. In addition, the DPAC bridge is designed to draw power from the medical device it's connected to -- the bridge doesn't require a separate power source that would have to be plugged and unplugged. Again, this played into our need to maintain an unbroken data stream." According to Greg Gower, Vice President, DPAC Technologies, the CyberStat System is a prime example of how wireless technology can improve patient care. "The CyberStat System is exactly how we at DPAC envisioned our AirborneDirect(TM) LAN-to-Serial Bridge being used in the medical industry. Hospital equipment and beds can now be wirelessly enabled so patients can be continuously monitored anywhere in the hospital. At the same time, hospital staff can quickly and easily move patients and access the vital information they need, anywhere, anytime. DPAC is proud to have provided CyberMedx with the wireless-enabling technology it needs. We look forward to working with CyberMedx in the future and to the continued success of the CyberStat System."
