Connections To It Networks; Lan Interface - Dräger Perseus A500 Instructions For Use Manual

Connections to IT networks

In an IT network, data can be exchanged by
means of wired or wireless technologies. An IT
network can be any data interface (e.g., RS232,
LAN, USB, printer interface) that is described in
standards and conventions.
During operation, this device can exchange
information with other devices by means of IT
networks. The following functions are supported:
– Display of waveforms and parameter data
– Transmission of existing alarm conditions
– Transfer of device settings and patient data
– Service mode, access to logbooks
Connecting this device to a network that
incorporates other devices or making subsequent
changes to that network can lead to new risks for
patients, users, and third parties. Before the device
is connected to the network or the network is
changed, these risks must be identified, analyzed,
and evaluated by the hospital IT representative in
accordance with the IEC 80001-1 standard (risk
management for medical IT networks). Appropriate
measures must be taken on the basis of the
results.
Examples of subsequent changes to the network:
– Changing the network configuration
– Removing devices from the network
– Adding new devices to the network
– Performing upgrades or updates on devices
that are connected to the network

LAN interface

Service
In conjunction with the Dräger SCG
(ServiceConnect Gateway) or a DrägerService
computer, the LAN interface enables the following
functions:
– Using the SNMP protocol:
Monitoring the service status of the device,
querying the service status, support during the
installation of device software and during
software download, configuration support
– Using the FTP protocol (as a client):
Querying the device status, support during the
installation of device software and during
software download, configuration support
The following personal data are transmitted
unencrypted over the interface:
– Logbook with details of age, weight, and height
of the patient
Time synchronization
The LAN interface allows synchronization with an
NTP (Network Time Protocol) server using the
NTP protocol.
Required characteristics
The LAN must ensure the connection between the
device and the following destinations:
– Service Connect Gateway or DrägerService
Computer
– NTP server
