Loading Software
Intended Use This part of the section is for the purpose of loading manufacturer
software into the monitor initially, reloading software when the
possibility of corrupted software exists, or updating software in the event
of a release of a new software revision.
Software Loading/
Updating Methods
The process of loading or updating software in the monitor is described in
this part of the section. Manufacturer software can be loaded into the
monitor using these methods:
From Diskette ¥ The monitor is connected directly to a personal computer (PC) or PC
laptop. The Update Program is run off of the update diskettes and
the software is downloaded to the monitor via serial communication.
Over the Network
Over the Network ¥ For the monitor connected to a patient monitoring network, the
software is loaded from the update diskettes onto a Centralscope
central station or a Clinical Information Center (CIC). The central
station or CIC then acts as a network file server and software is
downloaded to the monitor over the network.
NOTE
Each method of downloading software to the monitor is
distinctly different. Completely read all of this part of the
section prior to any attempt to load or update software.
This is particularly important if this is a first attempt to
load or update software in the monitor.
