If an external device name does not appear in the Preselection Task Window on the
Philips patient monitor, but has an analog interface, it can be connected to the
VueLink Module using the Free Analog Device driver. The device information must
however be manually configured into the module using the Task Windows in the
System's Configuration Mode. The following must be specified for every signal
produced by the device:
•
signal labels
•
units
•
voltage range
•
value range
•
grid settings.
These settings are then stored permanently within the VueLink module, in a Free
Analog Device Driver. A name can also be assigned to the device driver using the
handheld keypad.
•
Voltages greater than ±12V must not be applied across any two pins of the
VueLink module front connector.
•
Only one external device must be connected to a single VueLink module
at any one time.
•
Patient safety checks must always be performed after repair and
installation of the module, as detailed in the patient monitor Service
Manual.
A 2m and 4m moulded cable with an unconnected 25-pin (male) connector is
available for connecting the Free Analog Device. If the external device has a 25-pin
female plug, the connector should be soldered onto the VueLink cable. If a different
connector is required, this must be provided by local technical personnel or by
representatives of external device manufacturers. This must then be soldered onto
the unterminated VueLink cable as before.
