Communication between monitors
You can use the S/5 FM as a stand-alone monitor or for:
•
Viewing and receiving data (alarms, vital signs) from other patient
monitors
•
Gathering and storing data during intrahospital transport.
To view other patient monitors, the monitor needs to be connected to
the Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Network. The Network Option is always
included in the monitor. However, you can also choose the optional
wireless network option, N-FMW. To gather, store and transfer data
between different Datex-Ohmeda monitors, use the Data Card or
network communication. NOTE: You cannot transfer data to an S/5 FM
using the Data Card. Use network for this purpose.
The Data Card is used for storing and transferring patient data from the
S/5 FM. The Menu Card is used for loading and storing hospital-
specific user modes.
Interfacing other devices
External devices can be connected to the S/5 FM, and the data they
measure can be seen on the monitor screen. For more information, see
section "Interfacing external devices."
WARNING: A printer must be supplied from an additional
transformer providing at least basic isolation (isolating
or separating transformer).
WARNING : Before starting to use the system, ensure
that the whole combination complies with the
international standard IEC 60601-1-1 and the
requirements of the local authorities. Do not connect
any external devices to the system other than those
specified by Datex-Ohmeda.
