External Device Connection
The Merlin™ 2 PCS can be connected to three types of external devices: data storage devices,
input devices, and output devices.
NOTE: Not every commercially available external device is guaranteed to operate with the
Merlin 2 PCS. External devices that have been tested and verified to operate are listed in the
Accessories table (page 30).
WARNING: The ports on the Merlin 2 PCS are not isolated. Only connect external
devices that provide proper isolation from the power supply or use the external device
with an isolation transformer. Close the cover after disconnecting the device.
CAUTION: Additional non-medical electrical equipment connected to medical electrical
equipment, which includes equipment connected to the input or output ports, must
comply with the respective IEC or ISO standards. Furthermore, all configurations must
comply with the requirements for medical electrical systems (see IEC 60601-1, Clause
16). Anyone who connects additional equipment to medical electrical equipment is
configuring a medical system and is responsible for the compliance of the system. If in
doubt, contact the Abbott Medical Technical Support department or your local
Abbott Medical representative.
Data Storage Devices
Only external storage devices can be connected to the six USB ports on the Merlin™ 2 PCS. The
devices can be used to save session records, screen captures, and database records that will be
