Vivo-PC Data Cable
iCom Communication Unit
•
The Vivo-PC data cable shall not be used for data transfer while the
patient is connected to the Vivo 40. Only a PC that complies to the
IEC 60601-1 standards can be used for copying and transferring
data during treatment of a patient.
•
Never connect the Vivo 40 directly to a network port.
The Vivo-PC data cable can copy and
transfer the same data as the memory
card. However, the Vivo-PC data
cable is considerably slower than the
memory card. With the Vivo-PC data
cable, real-time data can also be
received and sent between the
Vivo 40 and a PC.
1
Connect the Vivo-PC data cable
to the Vivo 40. Make sure it is fitted
correctly.
2
Connect the other end of the
Vivo-PC data cable to the PC.
The iCom is an accessory which electrically isolates the Vivo 40 from a PC and
other devices (i.e. plotters, printers etc). A common PC, which does not comply
with IEC 60601-1, must comply with IEC 60950 and be placed outside the
patient area (i.e. more than 2 meters from the patient).
The iCom can copy and transfer the
same data as the memory card and the
data cable. However, the iCom is con-
siderably slower than the memory
card.
With the iCom, real-time data can
also be received and sent between the
Vivo 40 and a PC.
