Remote monitoring solution for medical equipment

Introduction

Currently, most medical device manufacturers cannot continuously test and manage medical devices. Because the equipment may be distributed to various places, it is impossible for the manufacturer to send manpower to each region, because this will increase the operating cost. Moreover, through verbal or email communication, it may lead to reasons such as unclear description of the problem, making it difficult for technicians to judge the problem.

The intervention of wireless communication technology allows these problems to be well resolved. It facilitates the management and real-time monitoring of medical equipment. The mobility and flexible access of the wireless communication network are features that facilitate smart medical networking.

Topology Introduction

Connect the medical device with the Jrepus Router through the network port. After the Jrepus Router dials through the APN and successfully registers the network, enter the router web interface and configure the VPN to establish a connection with the device manufacturer's server. The Jrepus Router will download the data information of the device through The operator's network is sent to the server of the equipment manufacturer. The server analyzes, stores and tracks the uploaded data. Through its own management platform, the manufacturer's technicians can also understand the operating status of the equipment at the first time, so as to make corresponding technical analysis. The hospital can also use the mobile terminal to transmit medical equipment information in a timely manner through the network, prompting the management status of the medical equipment in real time, which is convenient for use and maintenance.

# System Composition

The entire medical system consists of three parts: front-end medical equipment, network access equipment, and remote monitoring center.

# Front-end medical equipment 

Front-end medical equipment refers to large-scale medical equipment, such as CT, MRI, DR systems, power frequency X-ray machines and other medical equipment. These large medical devices are an indispensable part of contemporary disease diagnosis. These large medical devices often play a key role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, so the overall operation of medical devices is very important. However, it is impossible for conventional manpower to constantly monitor the operation status of equipment, so it is very necessary to realize remote monitoring and management.

# Network access equipment

The network access device refers to the Router device. Its main function is to provide network access and establish a VPN. It is a bridge for communication between the remote monitoring center and the front-end medical equipment.The Router device obtains the operator's network through dial-up, establishes a VPN connection with the remote monitoring center, and transmits the front-end medical device data to the remote monitoring center through the established VPN. Through VPN, the remote center can monitor and debug the front-end medical equipment, etc., which greatly reduces personnel allocation and manpower input, etc.

# Remote Monitoring Center

The remote monitoring center includes a VPN server and a data processing center. The main function is to establish VPN channel and data analysis. The VPN server provides a point-to-multiple access layer and collects remote medical device information. Make corresponding data analysis. If a complete remote monitoring system is not established, then if there is a glitch, the customer needs to send engineers to investigate and solve it, which is a waste of manpower and material resources. With this remote monitoring, it is convenient to arrange scheduled maintenance and troubleshoot directions.

Prospect advantage

Products such as industrial router 3G/4G wireless transmission modules can be connected with various peripheral medical instruments, and can assist medical staff to realize communication, monitoring, and timely information retrieval at any time.
