LINAK Communication Interface
Unlock the digital potential of your healthcare business.
Flexibility with your system data
LINAK Communication Interface (LCi) is an extraordinarily flexible communication protocol designed for advanced communication with LINAK OpenBus control boxes. Develop solutions for your LINAK systems that optimise your healthcare workflows and improve the lives of nurses, doctors, and service technicians. Simply choose a compatible LINAK control box and you're ready to develop for LCi.
Bluetooth® or Wired Communication
LCi is a communication protocol that allows OEMs to create software that can communicate with LINAK control boxes over a wired (UART) or wireless (Bluetooth) interface
Pull live system data from LINAK Systems
Pull system status information to quickly identify systems that need troubleshooting, cleaning, servicing, or have status notifications, like low battery or pair Bluetooth to securely allow authorised users to read usage history, actuator status, and more.
Send commands to LINAK Systems
LCi enables OEMs to develop their own system commands as well, allowing more customisable actuator control than ever before – all from a custom interface designed by your team.
Complete control over UI and features
Because LCi is just the framework for communication with LINAK control boxes, OEMs have full control over the customisation of their integration allowing them to develop just the right tool or product that best suits their business.
Included with a OneConnect Subscription
As OneConnect is built on the LCi framework and communicates using this technology, both OneConnect and LCi access are bundled together in one subscription.
Example use cases for LCi
- Developing a muscle rehabilitation device to communicate patient progress from a database to limit the movement range of a limb during therapy.
- Developing a custom touch screen interface that displays system battery level, patient weight from a scale system, and allows movement of various components in the system.
- Transferring the status (service needed, low battery, system error, cleaning required, safe status) of all medical beds in a facility to a database via a Bluetooth router.
Note: LCi is a development kit that requires significant programming expertise and a firm understanding of UART or Bluetooth communication and may not be right for every OEM. Click “learn more” to contact our team and we’d be happy to discuss your project in detail. LCi is compatible over Bluetooth with COL50, CO71, CO61 (select versions), CA63, and CO53 (select versions) or via wired connection with COL50, CO71, CO61, CO53, and CO65.
