DeviceShark ePAIR™ for Medical Device Monitoring with Pluggable, WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, USB & Serial on a Single Cellular Gateway

DeviceShark ePAIR™ (Enhanced Programmable Adaptable Intelligent Routing) will begin shipping to customers from November of this year. This new enhanced version allows for pluggable / interchangable modules on the same gateway. The device now supports USB, Bluetooth, WiFi, Zigbee and Serial as standard, and allows connectivity with 95% of medical devices in the marketplace.

Belfast, Ireland, October 02, 2012 --(PR.com)-- DeviceShark™, a division of Burrenway Ltd., today announces a new enhanced version ePAIR™ (Enhanced Programmable Adaptable Intelligent Routing) will begin shipping to customers from November of this year. The first version of PAIR™ utilised an embedded wireless Lan SD Card and mobile (GSM) solution which allowed the independent wireless collection of information from SD card based devices. This new enhanced version allows for pluggable / interchangable modules on the same gateway. The device now supports USB, Bluetooth, WiFi, Zigbee and Serial as standard, and allows connectivity with 95% of medical devices in the marketplace. The device will allow 128bit AES peer-to-peer encryption on the transfer of information directly from devices supporting SD, Bluetooth, Zigbee, WiFi, USB or Serial connectivity back to centralised cloud based servers; direct exchange of data will also be supported on all compatible devices.

The medical device will connect securely over the mobile network and allows on demand access to the information on the medical units through the DeviceShark™ Cloud Platform. The cellular wireless communication function allows users to upload and download any data format or configuration file to and from a server and to exchange data with other devices. This allows for both data retrieval and device configuration where applicable. All transfers are done wirelessly, over the mobile Cellular network. ePAIR™ employs many features to ensure consistent secure # collection and monitoring of sensitive data. A-four level security architecture is offered.

At the transmission level, network-wide cryptography is enabled by [ GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, LTE] MVNO cellular standards - the sensing network is secured by data layer encryption. The data center is connected over a dedicated VPN and leased line to their operation center APN.

End-to-end session level security is secured by SSL6 EV.

Data integrity is a vital aspect of data protection. The operation center employs bit level encryption and validation of data integrity.

User and operation access is a central aspect of providing reliable deterministic, auditable and accountable reporting of each point of their system.

Single SIM deployment in 204 countries / regions on over 630 networks.

DeviceShark are initially aiming this product at the collection of information from multiple devices that utilise WiFi, SD cards, bluetooth, Serial and Zigbee as a means of communication and will commence roll out to a major supplier in November. DeviceShark have been testing this solution for the past number of months and have carried out a number of trials throughout Europe with our partners as well as a number of third level institutions. DeviceShark’s Platform and Hub are optimised for use with wired and wireless medical devices, and are specifically designed to facilitate interconnection of medical devices, including retrieval and validation of medical device data under the European Medical Device Directive, USA HIPPA requirement, the FDA MDDS protocol and FDA510K for specified manufacturers.

ePAIR™ encapsulates the advances in machine-2-machine cellular infrastructure, remote maintainable fault-tolerant gateways with the simple, practical central monitoring operation center. This ecosystem of embedded smart sensing, coupled with state of the art adaptive machine-2-machine middleware provides the optimum in real-time monitoring.

The solution can be seen as four separate but cleverly interworking sub-systems. Deployed in the home or the clinic is the sensing edge of the network attached to the gateway using short-range power optimised communication or wired connections. The monitoring gateway offers secure transparent wide area wireless connectivity. The wide area connectivity provided by a Machine-2-Machine MVNO data pipe enables ubiquitous connectivity to the command and control center in the cloud.

About DeviceShark™ is a platform for protocol driven device management and diagnostics, offering turnkey advanced monitoring, control and diagnostic systems, with technology enabled services that leverage wireless mobile communications in over 200 countries from a range of devices. Real time information is processed using cloud computing based software, analysed remotely by our 24/7 monitoring teams and distributed via the Internet to clients regardless of location. DeviceShark™ servers are based in each territory of operation, thus ensuring that local privacy and traceability laws are adhered to.
