Compatibility 

 

External device information 

The IntelliBridge VueLink Open Interface (IVOI) Protocol is unidirectional, i.e. a monitor that adheres to 

the protocol can display data received from the Tetra Graph but cannot remotely control the device.  
Note that the user controls the monitoring using the TetraGraph Monitor graphical user interface when 

interfacing with the Philips monitor.  
The device transfers 9 measurement numerics and two waves to the monitor, using the Open Interface 

protocol. The device makes use of the INOP (inoperable) functionality in the Open Interface protocol, to 

alert the user about a loose connector, low battery or if somebody has pressed pause on the device.  

Supported Devices  

This integration supports the TetraGraph only and the minimum version that is supported is 34b.22b.12a.  

Supported hosts 

Senzime’s implementation of the IVOI protocol was carried out using Philips SpecTool (1040), the 

IntelliBridge and VueLink Open Interface - Specification Tool (Version B). All hosts that support this 

version of the IVOI protocol operating at 19200 Baud and open interface driver A.6 and higher will be 

compatible.
