EBME Forums Forums Maintenance Technical Assistance Philips Intellivue MX800

Hello,
I am trying to export data from the philips intellivue MX800 monitor, using the lan udp protocol.
Does anyone have an idea of how to start, or any manuals for that?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you

hello,

what problem do you encountered during your extraction of data?

The information on programming a LAN (or RS232) data client for the IntelliVue monitors is detailed in the document "X2_MP2_5_20_30_40_50_60_70_80_90_MX800_Patient_Monitor_Rel._H.0___Data_Export_Interface_Program._Guide_M8000-9305H_(ENG).pdf"

You can find this document in the InCenter. If you don't have access to this document in InCenter, you can ask one of your Philips service representatives.

Hai, how much message MX800 will sending out (for 5 minutes) when running in 8waves monitoring to the patient. Thank you for help

It depends on what you query the monitor for. The communication language allows you to ask for specific data at specific intervals, so you are not limited by what is shown on the screen.

You can ask the monitor to send out unsolicited stream of messages containing all the data you have requested, at an interval you specify - in this case, the number of messages can be calculated using the interval.

Or, you can program your data client to actively query the monitor at the interval you prefer. Then, in response to each query you will get a solicited message containing the data you requested.

Hello Dr. Chandana,
I have a questions. About the IntelliVue MX800. How can we send the IHE compliant messages from the device to the EMR/EHR/HIS systems?

Thanks
Tim

Hi Tim,

The IntelliVue LAN data protocol is based on UDP/IP, so the monitor is not able to send TCP/IP based HL7 messages out of the box. For this purpose, you need to use the HL7 communication interface provided by the central station (the IntelliVue Information Center).

The IHE standards use the MDC nomenclature for clinical concepts, while the IntelliVue devices (both the monitor and central station) use the MDIL nomenclature. As most of MDC is derived from MDIL, mapping the concepts to an IHE compliant EMR would not be difficult.

The easiest way to map the HL7 messages from the central station to your EMR (if you don't have an HL7 broker yet), is to use the IntelliBridge Enterprise integration engine, that comes with the concepts from the IntelliVue side pre-mapped.

Hello Dr. Chandana,
Thank you very much for your response. Do you know which IHE profiles and Actors have been verified and tested for the MX800?

I was wondering if you would be so generous to provide me a workflow diagram to help me understand the HL7 messaging between the PCD Device aka MX800 (DEC) and the EHR/HIS (DOC) system? it would greatly help me understand visually.

Also how would an ADT message flow from the HIS to the Device and vice versa? Since as I recall IHE would profile a bidirectional data workflow acknowledgement.

I guess this scenario would only be application if the device is connected to the LAN. However what would be the case if you are at an offsite location and the only way the device can be connected is via the RS232 connection with a stand alone workstation?

Thank you

Best wishes
Tim

Hi Tim,

As I mentioned, the MX800 itself (and the LAN data export interface) does not provide IHE compliant messaging - it is the central station (IntelliVue Information Center) that does so. The communication between the MX800 and IIC is a private protocol.

The IHE conformance statement for IntelliVue Information Center can be found at: http://www.healthcare.philips.com/main/about/Connectivity/ihe_statements/pm_statements.wpd

This conformance statement refers to the integration engine IntelliBridge SC200, which has been renamed to IntelliBridge Enterprise.



If you connect the device to a workstation, you can use the LAN and/or the RS232/MIB connections. The communication protocol is exactly the same - only the transport is different (LAN uses UDP/IP, while the serial uses RS232/IrDA). When using LAN communication with a workstation, you need to provide the monitor with an IP address (as there is no central station online to do that).

In both cases you need to write a client that would parse the messages. The LAN Data Export Guide I reference in an earlier post in this thread shows you how to do that. As the messages are identical, you can use the same client for both LAN and serial communication - as long as you handle the different modes of transport (which is pretty easy, using pre-built classes on .net framework, even if you use a high-level language like Visual Basic).

Our Solutions Architects can help you figure out what works best for your specific needs. Your local Philips representative should be able to put you in touch with them. In case you don't have the contacts of your Philips rep, I can ask him/her to contact you.

Yes. There's a lot to be said for keeping things simple.
