1. PRD-IDM-MG 1000
Nuvon VEGA™ System Intelligent Device Manager 1000
Introducing Nuvon VEGA™ System’s IDM-MG 1000
Nuvon’s new mobile Medical Grid Intelligent Device Manager,
the IDM-MG 1000, is a mobile point-of-care appliance based
on Nuvon’s FDA cleared VEGA™ System platform. The IDM-
MG 1000 is fully equipped and designed to securely capture
and transmit biomedical patient device data at the patient’s
bedside, to the EMR and other clinical information systems.
The IDM-MG 1000 provides automated device identification
achieved through Autoinstallation™ and Autodiscovery™
features of the Nuvon VEGA™ System for biomedical devices,
eliminating manual set-up and configuration.
In addition to its mobile functionality the IDM-MG 1000
includes a built-in medical grade barcode scanner that makes
positive patient identification (PPI) a more efficient process.
After patient identification takes place, device data is
communicated and securely transmitted to the patient’s Figure 1 IDM-MG 1000
electronic medical record (EMR) and/or other clinical
information management system. Whether in the home, or in
an acute care facility, the system enables secure capture and
transmission of patient device data with its reliable, secure
“store and forward” capability.
The IDM-MG 1000 provides the ability for clinicians to simply “tap” the LCD screen to enter secure user validation
parameters (e.g. Login and Password), as well as data entry that does not require use of a stylus, computer mouse
or keyboard (e.g. touch screen LCD). The user interface display has brightness control for the touch panel backlight
and is color blind compatible for all visual parameters. Its sleek, high-tech design and small form factor make the
IDM-MG 1000 a truly portable appliance with far-reaching capabilities.
Customer, Clinician-Driven Design
The IDM 1000 is a customer, clinician-driven solution to address the obvious connectivity gap between devices,
data, and the patient’s medical record. Nuvon’s VEGA™ System IDM-MG 1000 component complements and
enhances connectivity and interoperability between patient device data and the EMR.
Clients provided the impetus for developing the IDM-MG 1000 to provide a bedside point-of-care data
communication and data collection device that:
1) Supports near-real-time ad-hoc or continuous biomedical device measurement and transmission to an end-
point electronic medical record system;
2) Enables real-time, data collection from all types of point-of-care biomedical devices;
3) Provides the capability to review and validate spot vital signs, or other patient biomedical device data
measurements at the point of care prior to transmitting to an end-point electronic medical record system;
4) Provides the capability to support user authentication that enables compliance with HITECH HIPAA PHI
regulations;

5) Operates within the framework of the Nuvon VEGA™ System, enabling vendor-agnostic connectivity,
monitoring, and management of patient device data and transmission.
Technical Specifications
As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the new IDM-MG 1000 contains two parts; a
mobile detachable unit with LCD touch screen and built-in medical grade
barcode scanner, and a docking station. This device addresses the
integration and device needs for a wide range of vendor biomedical
devices. The IDM-MG 1000 is easily attached, securely and directly, to
devices or platforms that support transportation of medical devices. The
IDM-MG 1000 can be transported with point-of-care biomedical devices
within all settings in a hospital enterprise. It supports both wired and
wireless secure, encrypted data transmission.
With a battery life of up to 10 hours and non-volatile memory, the system
provides temporary data storage and ensures no data loss from a single
Figure 2 Docking Station point of failure. The IDM-MG 1000 can recover from unexpected power
failures and data will be resent if initially not transmitted completely. A
Low Battery status light illuminates when battery recharging is necessary.
The IDM-MG 1000 is IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 compliant.
Device Integration Benefits
Nuvon solves the challenge of universal biomedical device interoperability by utilizing its FDA cleared, patent-
pending VEGA™ (Vectored Event Grid Architecture) platform to enable any biomedical device equipment to
communicate without barriers. Nuvon’s VEGA™ System spans disparate devices, networks, and protocols through
an integrated system of programmable appliances that provide scalable, cost-effective, and secure infrastructure
for hospitals and clinics. Others claim to understand data integration and interoperability. Nuvon knows it and
does it.
Through the use of Nuvon’s powerful technology, any device can be monitored and accessed remotely via an
intuitive web interface—improving the quality of patient care and patient safety while helping to control costs.
Nuvon’s transformative and truly interoperable machine-to-machine (M2M) platform for next generation device
connectivity and data integration is:
• Device independent and operating system agnostic
• Scalable with robust security policies to monitor thousands of devices
• Designed for ease of integration
• Automated for a traceable audit trail for all data and actions
• An open architecture enabling user and third party development

Nuvon’s VEGA™ System Benefits Nurses, Doctors, Patients and the Hospital
with:
• Enhanced patient care, safety, and satisfaction.
Nurses are now able to focus the majority of their time caring for their patients, not on charting.
• Increased clinician workflow efficiency.
Clinicians can review patient biomedical device data without having to wait for them to be charted manually,
and they can log in remotely to check on patient data.
• Time and cost savings/productivity capacity for hospital.
Nurses can approve and automatically transmit patient data at the bedside directly to the patient’s record
without time consuming delays for transcription of patient device data.
• Improved accuracy.
Medical device connectivity enables the secure transmission of device data to a patient’s record, significantly
eliminating the opportunity for errors.
• Hospital is positioned for future growth.
Nuvon’s vendor agnostic solution is scalable, cost-effective, and has a secure infrastructure—it’s the solution
for today, and for the future.
