Philips CareNet

Information Centers are designed to operate on Philips CareNet network, consisting of the
Serial Distribution Network (SDN) and the Philips System Communications Controller (PCC/
SCC) or the CareNet Controller. See Figure 1-9.
The Philips CareNet is a local area communications network designed to share patient
physiological waves, parameters, and other data among bedside monitors, recorders, printers,
and other computer systems.
The PCC/SCC is the active device of the SDN, providing communications links to
instruments connected to the SDN and controlling data flow, timing, synchronization, and
distribution throughout the network. The Information Center processing unit contains an SDN
interface card for communication with the SCC and its SDN networked instruments.
