01

Safety-focused design

Select a middleware foundation and product evidence that support the safety-related communication requirements of your device.

icon
02

Predictable communication

Define delivery policies, resource limits and execution behavior, then validate timing under representative system workloads.

icon
03

Embedded integration

Connect resource-constrained components and application processors using a common data model across different target platforms.

Inside the device. Across the system.

Complementary products.
Connected through DDS.

Use Safe DDS where embedded applications have safety requirements, and Fast DDS Pro for rich application-level communication. Define the data interfaces between them as part of your system architecture.

Medical-device applications

One communication foundation.
Many kinds of medical equipment.

Connect the distributed software behind robotics, diagnostic instruments, imaging equipment and connected device systems.

Medical robotics: Sensing ↔ Processing & control ↔ Operator interface. Measurements · commands · status.
Coordinate distributed components

Connect sensing, computing and control.

Bring together the software components of robotic medical equipment through explicit data interfaces. Match delivery policies and resource limits to the communication requirements of each subsystem.

  • Exchange measurements and equipment state
  • Connect embedded and higher-level software
  • Evaluate timing on the target platform
Diagnostics: Instrument modules ↔ Acquisition & processing ↔ Workflow application. Acquisition data · events · results.
Diagnostics & laboratory automation

Connect the modules behind the instrument.

Coordinate acquisition, instrument modules and processing applications as part of a modular device architecture. Share operational state and data without tying every software component to every other component.

  • Define reusable interfaces between modules
  • Distribute acquisition data and instrument events
  • Connect local instruments with workstations
Medical imaging: Acquisition ↔ Image processing ↔ Visualization. Image data · equipment status · commands.
Acquisition, processing & visualization

Move data between imaging subsystems.

Connect data acquisition with processing and visualization applications. Evaluate bandwidth, latency and local data movement while handling equipment status and application commands alongside larger data flows.

  • Separate high-volume and control-related flows
  • Evaluate efficient local data delivery
  • Evolve processing applications independently
Connected devices: Device applications ↔ Defined DDS interfaces ↔ Workstations & gateways. Operational data · events · application requests.
From the device to the surrounding system

Extend connectivity beyond the enclosure.

Connect device software with local workstations, supervisory applications and integration gateways. Define what data is exchanged, which applications may access it and how communication behaves when connectivity changes.

  • Share selected data with surrounding software
  • Plan access controls and network boundaries
  • Scope adapters for existing external interfaces

Choose your medical-system foundation

The right middleware.
From the outset.

Start with the product that fits your target system. Safe DDS and Fast DDS Pro address complementary needs, from embedded communication to development and surrounding applications.
