7.18 Software management
Software installation consists of two main steps: software transfer and software activation.
7.18.1 Transferring software
To begin software installation, you first transfer the new software into the inactive memory
partition of the patient monitor. Transfer software using the GE Healthcare Software Transfer
Utility that runs on a service PC. With this application, you can transfer new software from a
software CD to the patient monitors over the CARESCAPE Network IX (IX Network) or a
crossover cable. The new, transferred software is inactive in the patient monitor(s) until you
activate it. Alternatively you can use InSite ExC to transfer the software. You can transfer the
software in the background, without affecting normal patient monitoring.
NOTE: The software CD contains both the patient monitor software and the Software Transfer
Utility, the tool to install the software. Software transfer procedure is described in detail in the
CARESCAPE Modular Monitors Software Installation Instruction that is delivered together with
the software CD.
7.18.2 Activating the installed software
After transferring the new software to the patient monitors, take the transferred, inactive
software into use by activating it.
Before you start:
• Connect the patient monitor to the AC mains during software activation. Software
activation does not start if the patient monitor uses its battery.
• Verify the compatibility of the connected bedside and network devices with the new
software version. Refer to the latest version of the CARESCAPE Modular Monitors
Supplemental Information Manual for a list of compatible network and bedside devices.
• Contact GE Healthcare to get the latest version of the user and service documentation
If you are using Webmin on a service PC, you can upload the license file from any
