Connecting The Device Into A Medical System; Using With Philips Vuelink; Connecting To The Vuelink Module - Nonin Avant 9600 Operator's Manual

Memory and Data Output Features

Connecting the Device into a Medical System

Incorporating the device into a medical system requires the integrator to identify, analyze, and
evaluate the risks to patient, operators, and third parties. Subsequent changes to the medical
system after device integration could introduce new risks and will require additional analysis.
Changes to the medical system that must be evaluated include:
• Changing the system configuration
• Adding devices to or disconnecting devices from the system
• Updating or upgrading equipment connected to the system
Issues resulting from user-initiated system changes may include corruption or loss of data.
NOTES:
• Use of a multiple-socket outlet with multiple devices results in a Medical Electrical System.
• When using the serial port to connect the device to other equipment, follow each device's
cleaning instructions.
• Verify all equipment connected to the device is suitable for the patient's environment.
CAUTION: Failure of a network data coupling (serial cable/connectors/wireless
!
connections) will result in loss of data transfer.

Using with Philips VueLink

The Avant 9600 supports the Phillips VueLink Open Interface (V.O.I.), and will communicate with
a Philips VueLink Auxiliary Plus Type B module (product number M1032A#A05). Refer to the
operator's manual for additional instructions and information.

Connecting to the VueLink Module

The 9600 is connected with the VueLink Module via a Philips cable (product number
M1032A#K6C), which connects to the RS-232 Serial Connection on the 9600. The device
detects the VueLink connection and begins communication automatically. Disconnecting the
cable or turning off the device will stop communications.
When the 9600 is connected to the VueLink module and interfaced to a compatible Philips
multiparameter monitor (contact Philips for compatibility), the following data will be sent for display:
• plethysmographic waveform
• SpO data, as displayed on the oximeter
2
• pulse rate data, as displayed on the oximeter
• high and low SpO
• alarm conditions (for both patient and equipment alarms)
NOTES:
• When dashes are displayed for SpO
data as "not available" to the VueLink module.
• Limits set to "OFF" on the 9600 are reported to the VueLink module as the maximum
values of the upper limits and the minimum values of the lower limits.
