ZLG has been deeply involved in embedded systems for twenty years, providing embedded solutions to numerous medical enterprise users, including medical ventilators, medical device sterilizers, respiratory pumps, and other commonly used medical equipment. This article introduces the various embedded solutions provided by ZLG for medical equipment.
Medical VentilatorIn the current critical period, the demand for ventilators on the front lines is essential. As an effective means of artificially replacing autonomous ventilation functions, ventilators are widely used in respiratory failure caused by various reasons, anesthesia respiratory management during major surgeries, respiratory support therapy, and emergency resuscitation, playing a very important role in modern medicine. Ventilators are crucial medical devices that can prevent and treat respiratory failure, reduce complications, and save and prolong patients’ lives, as shown below.
ZLG can provide a Cortex-A9 display control solution—M6708 for such applications, paired with ZLG’s open-source GUI engine, enabling rapid development of application interfaces, as detailed below.
The series platform has the following advantages:
-
Supports the AWTK open-source GUI engine for rapid user interface development;
-
Rich multimedia interfaces, including camera, HDMI, etc., easily achieving image acquisition and media display;
-
Powerful codec functions integrating 1080P video encoding/decoding, 2D/3D image processing acceleration, and other robust multimedia codec features, easily and smoothly handling multimedia files.
Medical Device SterilizerA medical device sterilizer refers to a tool that uses ultraviolet rays, far infrared rays, high temperatures (through heating tubes for high-temperature sterilization), ozone, etc., to sterilize and disinfect medical devices, surgical equipment, towels, clothing, tableware, and medical facilities, such as frequently used medical devices like tongue depressors, oral mirrors, thermometers, and stethoscopes, as shown below.
To avoid contamination of these instruments by various bacteria and viruses, and further prevent possible cross-infections between patients and between patients and doctors, timely disinfection is required to prevent the spread and infection of these nosocomial diseases. Conventional sterilizers generally require manual operation, which consumes a lot of medical staff’s time and has a high error rate, such as needing to manually open or check various electric pump switches and electric valves, and it is also impossible to know the real-time status of the sterilizer. Therefore, even if the sterilizer malfunctions, it cannot be known in a timely manner, which clearly does not meet the safety protection of the sterilizer.
Nowadays, there are automatic medical device sterilizers that solve the above problems, allowing for intelligent control of the sterilizer, saving medical staff’s time, and enabling remote monitoring. ZLG can provide a Cortex-A9 main control solution—M6708 for such applications, as detailed below.
The series platform has the following advantages:
-
Cortex-A9 quad-core processor with a frequency of up to 1GHz, equipped with 1G DDR3 and 4G eMMC;
-
Offers options for wireless solutions such as WIFI, 4G, ZigBee, which can be expanded via MiniPcie based on actual conditions;
-
Reserves rich expansion interfaces, including Ethernet, RS-485, camera, and more.
Infusion PumpAn infusion pump is typically a mechanical or electronic control device that controls the infusion speed by acting on the infusion catheter. It is commonly used in situations where strict control of infusion volume and medication is required, such as in the application of pressor drugs, antiarrhythmic drugs, intravenous infusions for infants, or intravenous anesthesia. Below, we discuss the daily operation, maintenance, and preservation issues of infusion pumps based on clinical applications, as shown below.
