8 Managing the Data Port

Managing Oximeter Trend Data

Reference the N-600x Operator's Manual for more information about displaying and
reading patient trend data.

Data Port Connectivity

Overview

Use the data port on the back of the OxiMax N-600x™ pulse oximeter to output
patient data by connecting the oximeter to a PC or serial printer.
When connecting the oximeter to a printer or PC, verify proper operation prior to
clinical use. Both the oximeter and the printer or PC must be connected to a
grounded AC power outlet. The oximeter protocol setting must be ASCII.
Any printer or PC connected to the oximeter's data port must be certified according
to IEC Standard 60950-1: 2nd edition. All combinations of equipment must be in
compliance with IEC Standard 60601-1-1:2000 Requirements for Medical Electrical
Systems. Anyone who connects a printer or PC to the data output port configures a
medical system and is therefore responsible for ensuring the system complies with
Requirements for Medical Electrical Systems IEC Standard 60601-1-1:2000 and the
electromagnetic compatibility IEC Standard 60601-1-2: 2001 + A1: 2004.

Data Port Requirements

Connect the data port to a serial printer or PC by using a cable terminated with the following devices.
•
An AMP connector (AMP part number 747538-1)
•
A ferrule (AMP part number 1-747579-2)
•
Compatible pins (AMP part number 66570-2)
The cable should not exceed 25 feet (7.6 meters) in length using RS-232 protocol or
4,000 feet (1219.2 meters) in length using RS-422 protocol. The external ITE
(Information Technology Equipment) device must be certified to UL Standard
60950-1:2007 or IEC Standard 60950-1: 2nd edition. The cable used must have a
braided shield that provides 100% coverage, such as a Belden cable (Belden part
number 9609 or 9616) or equivalent. The shield must have a 360-degree connection
to the metal shell on the DB-15 connector and to the connector on the PC or serial
printer.
