Transferring SmartMonitor 2 Information

Transferring SmartMonitor 2 Information
The SmartMonitor 2 contains a memory system that automatically records information about each
monitoring session. This information can be transferred (or downloaded) to a computer to be reviewed by
the physician. There are several different ways to transfer this information.
Whatever method you use, you must transfer data when you get a memory 100% full condition. And,
you may choose to transfer data at any time or whenever it is considered necessary by the dealer or
physician.

Memory Management in the SmartMonitor 2

When data is successfully transferred to a PCMCIA card or downloaded to Synergy-E, the data appears
to be erased in the SmartMonitor 2. It no longer counts toward the reading of "Percent Memory Full" on
the LCD or in Synergy-E. Because of this memory management system, it is not necessary to erase the
memory after every download. It is recommended that you do erase the memory between each patient
use.
Using the "Clear Memory" function in the System Parameters menus will erase all data regardless of
whether or not it has been downloaded.
Should a data file become corrupted or lost on the PC running Synergy-E, the data may still be recovered
from the monitor. The data can be recovered using Synergy-E until the SmartMonitor 2 has collected
new data and needs the space occupied by the old data.

To recover the old data using a PCMCIA card

Transfer the data to the card using the SmartMonitor 2. Now import the card into Synergy-E. When
prompted with "Only obtain data not previously retrieved?" answer NO to obtain all data. Synergy-E will
then display all the data that was in the SmartMonitor 2.

To recover the old data by downloading using Synergy-E

Clear the Checkbox in the monitor communications screen which reads, "Only retrieve data not previously
downloaded?". Synergy-E will then display all the data that was in the SmartMonitor 2.

Modem Download

There are 3 ways to download with a modem. The first choice involves the modem automatically calling
the home care dealer. This is called Modem Auto Dial. This doesn't involve any action on the caregivers'
part. It is important to know that the modem inside the unit may use the phone line. If you are going to
use this feature you should give more specific instructions to the caregiver.
The second choice is called Modem Auto Answer in Communications mode. This option in basically the
same as Modem Auto Dial, the difference is the baby is not being monitored and the device is in
Communications mode when the home care dealer calls.
The third option involves you, the home care dealer, calling to the modem built inside the monitor while
the baby is being monitored. This is called Modem Auto Answer in Monitor mode (baby being monitored).
You must contact the caregiver when it is time to transfer the data through the modem. We will discuss all
three.
