Lantronix provides hardware and software solutions ranging from console-management systems to device-networking products. The equipment allows the remote monitoring and manipulation of network infrastructure equipment, network-enabled devices, systems, appliances, and other equipment.

Medical Device Networking
Reduced staffing, facility closures and cost containment pressures are just a few of the issues hospitals, laboratories and medical device manufacturers face daily. Medical device networking can play a major role in automating and safeguarding data collection and dissemination, remote patient monitoring, asset tracking and reducing service costs.

With Lantronix device servers, patient monitoring devices, mobile EKG units, glucose analyzers, blood analyzers, infusion pumps, ventilators and virtually any other diagnostic tool with serial capability can be networked and managed over the Internet.

Data Collection & Dissemination
Because it can flow directly from a device to a central location, information is available to be shared locally or remotely by doctors and specialists, and test results can be transmitted securely over the network and centrally maintained.

Companies like I-Stat, Agilent and Welch Allyn incorporate Lantronix device servers into their medical devices. For example, i-STAT incorporated Lantronix Micro device servers into the recharger base units for their handheld blood analyzers. After collecting samples nurses dock the devices into the base unit at the nurses' station. The data is automatically transmitted directly over the network to the patient management system, the lab and/or the doctor's office.

Remote Patient Monitoring Devices and Management
Medical device networking also enables remote monitoring in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, doctor's offices and patients' homes. With network-enabled equipment, medical professionals can instantly get an update on the patient's condition, from anywhere at any time via a network or the Internet.

Instead of repairing instruments after they break down, service personnel are able to monitor devices in real time, perform predictive maintenance, and greatly reduce service calls and downtime.

Wireless Solutions for Medical Device Networking
Lantronix offers embedded wired and wireless (802-11b) solutions that can be easily incorporated into new equipment designs, as well as solutions that can network-enable existing equipment in a matter of minutes.
