X-Ray Interface
The i.Server X-ray Interface is a device that exchanges information between the GE Marquette Medical Systems Maclab Cardiac Catheterization System and third party X-ray systems. The supported X-ray systems are General Electric’s X-ray system model DLX version C17 and the Philips Integris 5000 X-ray system.
The Philips system requires an intermediate computer called the PKI interface handles the data translation from the i.Server X-ray Interface and the actual Philips X-ray system. Data are passed using an Ethernet network running the TCP/IP protocol.
The General Electric's DLX system requires the hemo option operating on version C17 or higher. The i.Server obtains its information from the GE system using FTP.
The i.Server performs all of the data translations between these devices and provides data in the native formats. On the network, the i.Server X-ray interface appears like any other network device. The network name for the i.Server is always the i.Server Serial Number and can be found on the rear panel of the unit. When connected, the i.Server has the appropriate network shares for the Maclab to log into and can communicate with external X-ray systems.
