Vector offers free SDC evaluation bundle for medical device manufacturers
Vector is now offering a free Service-oriented Device Connectivity (SDC) Evaluation Bundle. Medical technology companies can use it to analyse the IEEE 11073 SDC standard, benchmark performance, and test new features. The bundle offers end-to-end enablement—including a mature stack as well as simulation and testing capabilities (SIL/HIL)—for the efficient implementation of interoperability in clinical environments.
With the SDC Evaluation Bundle, Vector addresses medical device manufacturers who wish to evaluate the cross-vendor networking of their devices based on IEEE 11073 SDC. The standard lays the foundation for the bidirectional exchange of data and services — particularly in demanding clinical scenarios such as operating rooms, emergency rooms, or intensive care units.
The bundle offers development managers, system architects, and software teams the opportunity to evaluate the integration of SDC into series products with minimal time investment and a steep learning curve. The focus is on building expertise, benchmarking performance, and evaluating new features. To this end, Vector provides a mature embedded software stack as well as simulation tools for SIL and HIL testing.
