Using the Digital Output Port

WARNING:
It is recommended that all equipment used together with the monitor for real-time data collection
be placed outside of the “patient environment.” If this condition cannot be met, the monitor and
the equipment shall be powered by using a separation device (please see IEC 60601-1-1, Table
BBB.201). All equipment used outside the patient environment must be approved to the
appropriate IEC or ISO standards (for example, IEC950 for office equipment).
This port provides digital data communications with other devices such as a Philips VueLink™*
interfacing module or personal computer (PC). The data that can be transmitted through this port
is either real-time, case history, or Database summary menu data. Digital output port interfacing
is described in this section using a VueLink™* Open Interface module and the HyperTerminal™*
program. Contact Covidien’s customer service department for compatibility with other commer-
cial devices or to order a null modem cable (see sections
7.4.1 Using a Philips VueLink™* Open Inter-
face (VOI) Module , 7.4.3 Using HyperTerminal™* via Null Modem Cable to Capture and Store Data , and
3.17 When INVOS™ System is Part of a Medical Monitoring System ).

