23.6.2 Wireless Network Connection
23.6.2.1 Requirements for Wireless Network
A Mindray proprietary wireless network, installed by approved Mindray service personnel, is required to support wireless
networking.
This proprietary network will have the following capabilities:
Support the 802.11a/b/g/n wireless protocol
Have a channel bandwidth of 20 MHz
Support WPA-PSK , WPA2-PSK , WPA-Enterprise, and WPA2-Enterprise
Provide a signal strength at the monitor of no less than -65 dBm
NOTE
Keep network authentication information (e.g, password) safe to protect the network from being accessed
by unauthorized users.
The total throughput of all the wireless devices connected to the wireless network should be less than the
effective transmitting capability of the wireless network. The throughput capacity of a single Passport 8 is
729 kbps and a single Passport 12 is 747 kbps.
Do not connect non-approved devices to the wireless network.
Co-channel interference (CCI) on the Wi-Fi network should be no greater than -85dBm.
Adjacent–channel interference (ACI) on the Wi-Fi network should be no greater than -50dBm.
The recommended distance between the patient monitor and other non-Wi-Fi wireless devices, including
wireless devices at the frequency of 2.4GHz (e.g. cellular communication devices, microwave ovens,
intercoms, cordless phones and electro-surgical units) is no less than 20 cm.
