Trend Data Access
7-4 Service Manual

Caution:
When connecting the monitoring system to any instrument, verify proper
operation before clinical use. Both the monitoring system and the instrument
connected to it must utilize a grounded outlet. Any equipment connected to
the data interface must be certified according to the latest IEC/EN 60950-1
standards for data-processing equipment, the latest IEC/EN safety standards
for electromedical equipment, the latest IEC/EN 60601-1 standard for
electromedical equipment, or the latest IEC/EN safety standards relevant to
that equipment. All combinations of equipment must be in compliance with
Requirements for Medical Electrical Systems IEC Standard 60601-1-1: 2007.
Anyone who connects equipment to the data interface is configuring a
medical system and, therefore, is responsible for ensuring the system
complies with the Requirements for Medical Electrical Systems IEC Standard
60601-1-1: 2007 and the electromagnetic compatibility IEC Standard
60601-1-2: 2007. Accuracy may degrade if it is connected to secondary I/O
devices when equipment is not connected to earth reference.
Use the appropriate configuration information to ensure proper connectivity.
When connecting the to any other equipment, ensure that equipment is virus-
free. When connecting the monitoring system to equipment to obtain specific
patient trend data, verify proper operation of the monitoring system prior to
use with a patient. The monitoring system and any appropriate equipment
must be connected to a grounded AC power source.
•
Connection to a network or data coupling that includes other equipment could
result in previously unidentified risks to patients, operators or third parties, so it is
the responsibility of the person configuring to identify, analyze, evaluate and
control these risks.
•
Any subsequent changes to the network or data coupling, such as network or
data coupling configuration, connection or disconnection of additional or existing
items or equipment, updates or upgrades to items or equipment, might introduce
new risks, so requires re-evaluation and analysis.
