Description: Capsule MDIS, formerly called SmartLinx MDIS, is a data management solution that ties together users` medical devices across an enterprise into a unified system, captures and distributes patient clinical data, and also makes available operational data about the devices themselves. Access to, and communication of the data on each medical device is achieved by a library of Device Driver Interfaces (DDIs) (730+ of them) that read and translate device protocols. Additionally, Capsule MDIS can adapt data to the needs of receiving systems for clinical documentation, clinical decision support, alarm management, and clinical research through a process that provides data sampling, data selection, data adaptation, and additional context, like location and patient identification.

This software utilizes Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) Server to store data.

Please note that this software changed names from SmartLinx MDIS to Capsule MDIS in 2018.
