VSCaptureCLIv1.002 released https://sourceforge.net/projects/vscapture/files/VSCaptureCLI/VSCaptureCLIv1.002Binary.zip/download. Data capture support for Draeger Infinity (Delta, Kappa, Vista XL) monitors via serial port is now supported, apart from 14 other classes of medical devices, integrated in a single app.

As part of the #VSCapture medical research project, #VSCaptureCLI is now available for testing.

It integrates the capability of capturing data from 14 classes of medical device protocols and numerous models of monitors, ventilators, syringe pumps and anaesthesia machines. These models supported by the project over the last decade constitute more than 37,000 lines of C# code, with plans to expand the support in future iterations.... read more
