Lantronix Launches EDS-MD: Next Generation Device Aggregator for the Medical Market

“To deliver high-quality patient care, while still meeting ever changing regulatory mandates, it is imperative hospitals have the means to collect patient data and deliver it whenever and wherever necessary. said Phyllis Gotlib, CEO of iMDsoft, a global leader in Clinical Information Systems. Lantronix has proven to be a strong partner for iMDsoft, enabling our proprietary device connectivity solutions. Our suite of products, together with Lantronix technology, has had a significant impact on how hospitals all over the world monitor and treat patients.”



A key feature of EDS-MD is galvanic isolation on all ports, which provides the highest levels of safety for connected equipment, ensuring any grounding failures or malfunctions are contained to that single port and do not affect other connected devices.



“As long time customers, we have found Lantronix products to be extremely reliable and easy-to-use,” said Ivo Milani, Quality Manager for medical equipment manufacturer and reseller, Moelca, “Our healthcare customers are under pressure to deliver high-quality patient care – which means collecting and delivering clinical data to wherever and whatever device necessary. EDS-MD should prove to be an exciting product to address these critical challenges.”
