7.5 Connecting the Monitor to MFM-CMS
The monitor can be connected to the central monitoring system only when it is in monitor mode
and also the encryption method is not TLS. Through the network:
1. The monitor sends patient information, real-time monitoring or measurement data to the
central monitoring system.
2. The real-time monitoring information is displayed on the central monitoring system as the
same to the monitor, and the central monitoring system can perform some bilateral control.
For example: changing patient information, receiving patient, discharging patient and so
forth.
For detailed information, please refer to MFM-CMS Central Monitoring System User Manual.
And the monitor supports HL7 protocol.
NOTE:
1 Use wired instead of wireless networking when connecting the monitor to central
monitoring system in the operating room because the ESU will interfere with a
wireless network, which may cause networking failure.
2 Make sure the network connection between the monitor and MFM-CMS is in good
condition when the time synchronization function (refer to section Setting Date and
Time) on the monitor is active. If the setting is on, the monitor will accept time
synchronization from MFM-CMS.
3 The time synchronization function might not be available to all software versions of
MFM-CMS. Consult our technical service department or your local distributor for
more information.
4 The monitor and MFM-CMS/Gateway will pack and transmit the data via their own
protocol. When receiving the data, they will confirm the correctness of the data
package. Only the data that meets the protocol’s requirements will be received.
5 When deploying the network of the monitor and MFM-CMS/Gateway, it is
recommended to isolate the network and the Intranet system of the hospital by using
VLAN so as to ensure the network security. Only trusted devices are allowed to join
the VLAN network.
6 For more instructions on how to connect or install and disconnect or uninstall the
MFM-CMS/Gateway, please refer to MFM-CMS Central Monitoring System
Installation Guide/GW1 Gateway User Manual.
7.6 Connecting the Monitor to CMS-LITE
The monitor can be connected to the CMS-LITE Data Management Software only when it is in
monitor mode and also the encryption method is not TLS. Through the network:
1. The monitor sends patient information, monitoring or measurement data to the CMS-LITE
Data Management Software.
2. The monitoring information is displayed on the CMS-LITE Data Management Software as
