Overview

Connecting to the Data Port

N-595
Patient data can be output through the data port on the back of the
N-595 by connecting it to an attached PC or serial printer.
When connecting the N-595 to a printer or PC, verify proper
operation before clinical use. Both the N-595 and the printer or PC
must be connected to a grounded AC outlet. The N-595 protocol
setting must be ASCII.
Any printer or PC connected to the monitor's data port must be
certified according to IEC Standard 950. All combinations of
equipment must be in compliance with IEC Standard 60601-1-1
systems requirements. Anyone who connects a printer or PC to the
data output port configures a medical system and is therefore
responsible for ensuring that the system complies with the
requirements of system standard IEC Standard 60601-1-1 and the
electromagnetic compatibility system standard IEC Standard
60601-1-2.
The N-595 data port may be connected to a serial printer or PC by
using a cable terminated with an AMP connector (AMP part number
747538-1), ferrule (AMP part number 1-747579-2), and compatible
pins (AMP part number 66570-2). The cable should be no more than
25 feet (7.6 meters) in length. The external ITE (Information
Technology Equipment) device must be certified to UL-1950 or
IEC-60950.
The cable used must have a braided shield providing 100% coverage,
such as a Belden cable (Belden part number 9609) or equivalent. The
shield must have a 360-degree connection to the metal shell on the
91
