Health informatics — Point-of-care medical device communication – Part 30200: Transport profile — Cable connected

This standard defines communications services and protocols consistent with specifications of the Infrared Data Association (IrDA). These communication services and protocols are optimised for use in patient-connected bedside medical devices. The standard describes an IrDA-based, cable-connected local area network (LAN) for the interconnection of computers and medical devices.

This standard is targeted to modifications of legacy devices but is also suitable for new device designs. The term legacy devices refers to equipment that is: already in use in clinical facilities; in active production at the facilities of medical device manufacturers; and beyond the initial stages of engineering development.
