Bridge device for coupling a medical network to a non-medical network

摘要

A bridge device (30) for interfacing a medical network (10) to a non-medical network (20), comprising: storage means (50) for storing data from the medical network (10); first interface means (42, 44, 48 ) for coupling the memory device (50) to the medical network (10), a second interface device (62, 64, 66) for coupling the memory device (50) to the non-medical network (20), wherein the bridge device (30) at least is designed either to execute exclusively writing accesses to the memory device (50) via the first interface device (42, 44, 48), or to exclusively read accesses to the memory device via the second interface device (62, 64, 66) ( 50), characterized in that the first interface device comprises: a writing device (48) for writing data from the medical Network (10) in the memory device (50) and a data input (42) for coupling the writing device (48) with the medical network (10), wherein the data input (42) comprises a receiving device for receiving or a transmitting and receiving device for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic or light signals in the infrared.
