Upgrade software
Overview
WARNING
LOSS OF MONITORING — This activation procedure requires
you to reboot the CIC Pro center. Rebooting a CIC Pro center stops
active patient monitoring. When a care unit has only one working
CIC Pro center, notify the site’s biomedical department to provide
alternate bedside patient monitoring.
See Establish alternate
monitoring methods on page 12-3.
NOTE
 This procedure is intended for use by qualified service personnel on MP100
Series platform CIC Pro centers running software version 5.1 or later. It is
intended for upgrading CIC Pro center clinical application or service
application software packages.

There are different types of software package files you may be activating on
a CIC Pro center. Some are simply software patches that enhance the
software processing; others add features or functions. You may be required
to configure settings related to any added software features or functions. See
the What’s In This Release document for information about added features
or functions.
NOTE
All CIC Pro center devices in the MultiKM group have to be of the same version.
 In any given CARESCAPE Network, many Multimouse groups can co-exist
as long as each individual group devices are the same CIC Pro center
versions. Example: all CIC v5.0.x in one group and all CIC v5.1.x in another
group.

If a CIC Pro center is swapped from an existing MultiKM group, ensure that
the new CIC Pro center is the same version as the other CIC Pro centers in
the Multimouse group.
You can upgrade CIC Pro center clinical application or service application software
by installing software package files from a service PC via CD ROM. Both the service
PC and the MP100 Series platform CIC Pro centers must be connected to the
CARESCAPE Network IX network.
The software installation process occurs in the background and does not impact the
active monitoring of patients by the target CIC Pro centers. The software package
files remain inactive on the target CIC Pro centers until you activate them.
The activation process includes using the local Webmin service interface at each of
the target CIC Pro centers. Then, after a manual activation the CIC Pro center runs the
activated software.
