Communication with other devices
The Terumo Cardiovascular Systems (Terumo) CDI System 550 has a serial data out-
put port, which allows you to use it with an external serial printer, computer, or data
acquisition system. When the CDI System 550 is attached to an external device, you
can send patient data (blood parameter values over the course of an operation) from
the CDI System 550 to this device.
A second serial interface port, called the pump interface, allows the CDI System 550
to receive flow ( ) data from selected pumps. These are the Terumo® Advanced
Perfusion System 1, Terumo Sarns™ 8000, Terumo Sarns™ Centrifugal, Medtronic®
Bio-Console® 550/560, LivaNova/Sorin/Stöckert S5/C5, Terumo NEO System and
Maquet/ Jostra HL 20 / Rotaflow. When using the pump interface port with the
Terumo® Advanced Perfusion System 1, data can also be sent from the CDI System
550, to display blood parameter values on the Central Control Monitor.
Warning
• Computer equipment in the operating room environment may interfere
with the operation of existing monitoring or therapeutic devices, and
may be susceptible to interference from such devices. To ensure that
such interference will not occur, care must be taken in the selection
of computer equipment or printers to be interfaced with the Terumo
CDI System 550 Monitor and in the manner in which this interface is
accomplished.
• Equipment connected to the monitor’s serial port shall be certified
according to IEC 60601-1 for medical equipment. All configurations
shall be checked for combined system leakage current within IEC
60601-1 leakage current specifications.
Note:
Computer devices can generate radio frequency interference. When selecting
an external device to use with the CDI System 550, make sure the device can be set
up and used in a way that doesn’t interfere with the monitors or therapeutic devices
used in the operating room. Check the documentation that comes with the external
device, or contact the manufacturer, to find out about potential radio frequency inter-
ference problems.
Connecting an external device to the data
output port
This section explains how to connect an external serial device to the CDI System 550
data output port and tells how to set the communication parameters.
1 Use a 9-pin, D-type, RS-232 cable to attach the CDI System 550 Monitor
to the external device.
The cable must have a male connector to attach to the monitor. The length of
the cable and the type of connector that attaches to the external device de-
pends on the needs of that device.
