EBME Forums Forums Maintenance Technical Assistance EXPORT DATA FROM INTELLIVIUE MP70

I can but cite Richard Grier's website (again) ...


Two or three month's work, just to get started?

This stuff is not trivial!

Allessandro,
The data export from MP70 via the RS232 using the RJ45 connection interface is going to be tricky. I am trying to understand what are you trying to achieve.

A french company Capsuletech, Inc provides the middleware interface for the IntelliVue MP70. Datacaptor 5.0 is the main application and then you have to download the appropriate DDI (device driver interface).

Now if you were an EMR or HIS vendor and wanted to interface with Datacaptor they would provide you with an API.

I think the API is developed on the .net platform on either C# or C++. There IS NO JAVA API.
For you to use interface MP70 with Java you will have to consult wth the Philips Data Export protocol where the output data is in Hexadecimal format and needs to be converted into a more understandable format i.e. XML.
Once in XML it would be more easier to read the data. But again what parameters are you looking at?

Hi! As quoted above, getting data out of these patient monitors is "not trivial". So I just wanted to spread the word that I just released a small commercial off-the-shelf product that saves you from re-inventing the wheel:

Using MediCollector, you can quickly and easy stream data from Philips patient monitors onto your hard disk.

(Sorry for the commercial, but I think its relevant on this thread!)

Good work!

As a Philips employee, I can't endorse 3rd party applications we have not tested, so unfortunately I can't say "great work!" because that might be construed as an endorsement

Here are the model numbers for the MX400-550 so that you can update your supported device page:
MX400 - 866060
MX450 - 866062
MX500 - 866064
MX550 - 866066

You may also want to note that with MX400 - MX550, it is recommended to use one of the ports provided by the J13 RS232/MIB Interface board. The RS232/+5V port on the J40 Advanced System Interface has a different pin-out, and the cables you offer may not be compatible with that pin-out.

For future enhancements, you may want to consider adding support for MP2/X2 via LAN data export, which uses the same packet based protocol on UDP/IP. This would, of course, only be useful in a non-centralized environment.

Those who require capturing only numeric data from an IntelliVue monitor can now use the IntelliVue XDS application rev L.0 for this purpose.

Basic requirements:
- IntelliVue MP or MX series monitor with SW revision L.0 or above
- IntelliVue XDS application rev L.0 or higher installed on a PC on the network
- X40 XDS Database option either on the monitor or on the XDS application

When activated the XDS Database application acquires up to 200 different numeric parameters (including data from ventilators and other devices interfaced via IntelliBridge to the monitor) at a maximum frequency of up to 1 sample per 2 seconds (0.5Hz) and places that data in an SQL Express database on the PC.

This data can be read by other applications running on the PC.

The database receives only numeric data - no waveforms or alarms are acquired.

The purpose of this database is to allow users to create their own visualizations of the data (eg. spider diagrams, bi-variant plots etc) through a medium of their choice (C#, VB, Excel) and display those visualizations on the PC, or on the patient monitor display itself (on MX600/700/800 with integrated PC).

Hi everyone,

I'm actually finishing a component who can receive all the data from the Philips MX including numeric/waves/alarms/ etc...
I have some weird data coming up in the waves values. I don't know if this is normal or if there is a problem with my parsing, or if i missed something concerning the scales and ranges. Is there someone here who will be able to have a look? If yes i will post all the details.

Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,

It would be helpful if you could share the details. I will then ask someone who would be able to help. The following additional details would also be needed:
1. Model number and software revision of your IntelliVue monitor
2. Revision number of the MIB programming guide you are using

Currently I am working on a project on to get the basic data from the MP70 and have been reading the programmers manual which is quite complicated. Since my knowledge of IRDA is limited its hard going as I am sure you all ready know.

I was wondering if anyone has any c# code that would help me to understand or just get the basic information out. Anything that could help or advice to speed things up would be appreciated.
