Sensor Supervision and Control Value Limitations in Networked Intensive Care

Abstract: This paper presents an example of use for an embedded software architecture in an automated intensive care setup. The communication structure allows to handle sensor faults and control value limitations. Decentralized sensor and actuator supervision is realized by a network of embedded systems, which can be adapted to the requirements of different medical setups. It is implemented in a setup of medical devices for autonomous veno-venous extracorporeal lung assist.
