EZ04-WS00 Digi Connect EZ WS Secure IEC 60601 Medical Device Connectivity
Digi Connect® EZ WS is the next-generation serial-to-Ethernet gateway built for patient care environments, delivering instant, secure connectivity between serial-based medical devices and hospital networks.
Fully compliant with IEC 60601 3rd Edition standards, it safely operates in clinical settings and features four RS-232 serial ports for connecting multiple devices simultaneously. With robust Ethernet connectivity, it ensures fast, reliable, and secure data transfer to hospital EMRs, integration platforms, and other downstream systems.
