Introduction
Instructions for Use Apollo SW 4.5n 19
Part Number: 9053586, 3rd edition
Additional functions
MEDIBUS/MEDIBUS.X Protocol
MEDIBUS and MEDIBUS.X are software protocols for
use in transferring data between Apollo and an
external medical or non-medical device (e.g.
hemodynamic monitors, data management systems, or
a Windows-based computer) via the RS-232 interface
see:
– 9037426, 6th edition or higher
or
– 9052608, third edition or higher.
WARNING!
Risk of patient injury
Data transferred via MEDIBUS/MEDIBUS.X
interfaces are for information only and are not
intended as a basis for diagnosis or therapy
decisions. The data accessible via this interface
are not intended for a decentralized alarm system
in accordance with IEC60601-1-8:2012 (in the
sense of remote monitoring).
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock
Connecting devices to the auxiliary outlets of the
anesthesia machine can cause an increase in
leakage current beyond permissible values if the
protective conductor of a device fails.
Check the leakage current when connecting
devices to the auxiliary outlets. If connecting a
device (or devices) increases the leakage current
to a value which exceeds the permissible value,
do not use the auxiliary outlets of the anesthesia
machine: use a separate wall socket.
The system must fulfill the requirements for
medical electrical equipment in accordance with
the relevant standards, see page 308.
