Count, PTC and ST measurements. TOF responses can also be displayed in wave form. The TetraGraph Philips Interface makes use of nine standard labels, as specified by Philips, and two additional custom labels. The custom labels are ‘NMT’ (measurement numeric) and ‘TOF’...
Please ensure that the TetraGraph Philips Interface is used with devices which it is intended to be used. Please use the CAT5e cable that is supplied together with the TetraGraph Philips Interface. Any other cable may be incompatible with the TetraGraph Philips Interface product.
TetraGraph Monitor IFU SEN 008 The TetraGraph monitor and TetraGraph Philips Interface are supplied by Senzime AB, the Philips IntelliBridge EC10 and Philips IntelliVue monitors are supplied by Philips (Figure 2). IntelliBridge EC10 needs to have OpenInterface driver (option 101) version A.6 or higher installed.
Figure 3. The RS232 port of TetraGraph Monitor allows external devices to be connected. After inserting the TetraGraph Philips Interface to the TetraGraph Monitor, connect the other end of the TetraGraph Philips Interface to the Philips IntelliVue Monitor via an interface module such as EC10 or EC40 (provided by Philips).
12. Operation When the TetraGraph is turned on and connected to a Philips IntelliVue monitor via the TetraGraph Philips Interface, the default SPI labels will appear on the screen as in the following example from a Philips MX550 monitor (Figure 4): Figure 4.

Figure 5 shows how the Philips IntelliVue Monitor can display TOF-results generated by the TetraGraph system, for each label as seen in Figure 4. Figure 5. Screen shot from when Philips IntelliVue monitor can display TOF-results given by TetraGraph system. In Figure 5 the TOF bar-wave shows four TOF responses in which the TOF ratio is 89 %.

Figure 6. Screen shot from when Philips IntelliVue monitor displays NMT-numeric value given by TOFcnt results. Adding or removing displayed waves or parameters On the Philips IntelliVue monitors it is possible to change the view settings to display the wave or parameter of your preference. If you would like to add (or remove) any wave representation, then you would have to use the specific menu system of your monitor.
