Provision Medical Devices for the LifeOmic Platform​

The LifeOmic Platform allows developers to create a claim certificate for provisioning a fleet of devices. Any device that has a claim certificate may provision and claim a device specific certificate. Check out the open source starters repository to see how devices can exchange a claim certificate for a device specific certificate.

Follow this procedure to create and download a claim certificate from the LifeOmic Platform.

A claim certificate is composed of two files, a PEM file and a private key file.

  1. On the left side of the screen, click the Medical Devices tab.
  2. Click the Provisioning button.
  3. On the Provision Devices screen, click the Create Claim Certificate.
