External device monitoring
The device connectivity option enables the Cockpit
to partner with external MEDIBUS.X -compatible
devices to provide the following functionality:
– Display parameter values, waveforms, and
loops from ventilators and anesthesia machines
– Trend parameters
– Show all pages for ventilators that can be
configured
– Configurable display of parameter fields for
ventilators and anesthesia machines
Within 30 seconds of connecting a device, the data
appear at the Cockpit.
Before performing any monitoring functions, refer
to the section "For your safety and that of your
patients" on page 13. For device-specific error
messages, refer to the instructions for use of the
connected ventilator.
External device alarms
Alarms from the ventilator are transmitted to the
Infinity network and made available for alarm
annunciation at the ICS. For more information, refer
to the Instructions for use Infinity CentralStation.
If the external device alarm feature is activated at
the Cockpit (see page 461) and an external device
is disconnected from the Cockpit, the following
happens at the Cockpit and at the ICS when the
patient is admitted at the ICS:
– An alarm tone of low priority sounds.
– The message External device disconnected
is displayed.
NOTE
Ventilation waveforms are not supported on re-
cordings.
NOTE
When connecting a ventilator that does not sup-
port CO2 monitoring, the Cockpit may still display
a CO
2 tab in the Ventilator dialog.
