Consequences of using an unsuitable network
If the network does not meet the requirements, dan-
gerous situations can result. The following situa-
tions can occur with this device:
– Due to an insecure decentralized alarm system:
– Alarms or data are transmitted at the wrong
time.
– Alarms are not transmitted.
– During an interruption of the network connec-
tion:
– Suppressed alarms or alarm tones are not
reactivated, but remain suppressed.
– Alarms are not transmitted.
– Without firewall and antivirus software:
– Data are not protected.
– Device settings are changed.
– The device generates false alarms or no
alarms.
– Data are sent incomplete, sent to the wrong de-
vice, or not sent at all.
– Patient data are intercepted, falsified, or dam-
aged.
– Data have incorrect time stamps.
Electrical requirements of connected devices
and networks
The analog and digital ports are only appropriate for
connecting devices or networks that have a nomi-
nal voltage on the network side of max. 24 V DC
and meet the requirements of one of the following
standards:
– IEC 60950-1: Ungrounded SELV circuits
– IEC 60601-1 (as of 2nd edition): Touchable
