Description The Protocol Interoperability Manager (PIM) is a software framework that: • Provides a simple API for software developer integration • Supports multiple standards-based communication protocol modules • Provides a simple transport layer interface The PIM components will be used to enable rapid integration of these protocol stack modules into vendor medical devices and achieve interoperability with other entities in a hospital network.
Application Software (e.g. IV Pump, Ventilator, Monitor, Gateway, etc.) PIM Framework PIM PCD Module 11073 Module OpenSDC Module Legacy Module Lower Level Transport/Link Layer MDIB
Description PIM consists of several libraries: MDIB, Protocol, Discovery • Written in C++ • Suitable for embedded devices. PIM can be used as a Data Source (e.g. Medical Device) or Data Sink (e.g. Gateway or Aggregator). PIM is configurable to support multiple protocols at compile-time or run-time PIM will be released as open source • This includes SW, documentation (Architecture, Design, Risk Mitigation etc), test cases etc. PIM is being developed using FDA guidelines and 62304

Status The following documents have been done: • Product Input Specification (signed off) • Software Development Process (signed off) • Software Framework Architecture (draft) • Software Framework Requirements (draft) • Software Project Plan (draft) Initially developing PIM with 11073 over UDP/IP or RS232 and IHE-PCD over TCP/IP. In talks with various medical device manufacturers on interoperability of 11073 and demonstrations of this.
