Precautions about Bidirectional Wireless Communications Module
(TCON)
C A U T I O N
z Precautions about the Installation
y
The medical institution (hereinafter referred to as "Institution") must
execute investigation required to prevent interference including types
of radio waves, frequencies, and antenna power if wireless
equipment is already installed and being used in the facility.
y
Even if this device is installed within the range of radio
communication, the communication may not be possible due to noise
or multi-path phasing etc.
y If the TCON is installed in a line-of-sight distance where there are no
obstacles or on the upper floors, unexpected long distance
transmission may occur which may cause interference with nearby
medical institution. Before using the TCON system, test the reception
to make sure that it does not interfere with other channels. If the
channel is used by other medical institution, change the channel ID.
z Precautions about the Management
y
The Institution should appoint a person (hereinafter referred as the
“Overall Manager") to manage the wireless devices for the whole
facility.
y When installing TCON, the Overall Manager has to receive an
explanation of the precautions for use of the TCON from the
manufacturer or sales representative.
y The Overall Manager is responsible for the maintenance and storage
of the equipment.
y The Overall Manager should create a management log (hereinafter
referred to as the “log”), which contains a list of the management
status of the wireless channels for the whole facility. When assigning
or changing wireless channels, register it in the log, and give proper
instructions to the TCON user.
y The user needs to verify the transmitting/receiving operation before
use.
y If interference or breakdown occurs in the communication, the TCON
user is required to stop using the TCON and to inform the Overall
Manager of the problem. The Overall Manager is to deal with the
problem properly and/or contact the nearest Fukuda Denshi
representative for service.
z Precautions for Operation
The Bidirectional Wireless Communications Module (TCON) uses radio
waves to transmit data. Therefore, necessary precautions need to be
taken for the characteristics and difficulties of using the device that
emits radio waves. The TCON user should fully understand these
precautions beforehand, and use the TCON device safely.
Furthermore, situations in which interference may occur are outlined
below. In such cases, pay special attention to the condition of the
patient connected to the bedside monitor, and eliminate the cause of
interference.
<When the patient’s data become mixed with a different patient’s
data due to interference.>
y When there are multiple TCON communication devices set to the
same TCON ID and channel (group).
<When symptoms such as being unable to communicate,
unstable communication, or poor reception occur.>
y When the radio communication is bad because there are metal,
concrete, or other such obstacles between the Bidirectional Wireless
Communications Modules (TCON).
