Communication
box/data card
(optional)
The external communication box or internal data card transfer data from the
PCS2 device to another external device such as a printer, or to
HaemoNet
, the
Haemonetics communication network. HaemoNet provides any establishment
using Haemonetics equipment with the possibility of linking several Haemon-
etics apheresis devices to a central monitoring computer. Using HaemoNet,
procedure data can be exchanged and stored in a database and/or viewed
directly.
Note: The PCS2 communication box has been tested according to standards re-
quired by EN 60601-1-2 (EMC of medical electrical equipment). The measured
error rate of data communicated to HaemoNet at certain specific electromagnetic
frequencies rises above the standards. However, there is no impact on the integ-
rity of the procedure information stored in the database. The HaemoNet commu-
nication is designed with CRC error checking, performed upon the reception of
all data.
Bar code reader

The barcode reader (when installed), is located on the left panel of the PCS2 and
can be used to enter the following types of data directly into the PCS2 data
storage memory.
