Using Philips monitors and the VueLink Open Interface*
NOTE:
Data displayed on the VueLink system is for reference purposes only.
Decisions for patient care should not be based solely on the data
obtained through the VueLink system.
The Respironics V60 Ventilator can communicate with a Philips patient
monitor using the VueLink Open Interface. Figure B-4 shows the required
hardware setup. The VueLink Open Interface requires a ventilator baud rate
19,200. Check for the correct baud rate in the ventilator diagnostic mode (see
"Baud Rate" on page E-10).

Data Display
The data from your Respironics V60 Ventilator is displayed in several windows
on your Philips monitor. This data may be labeled differently on the monitor
than on the ventilator. Refer to Table B-3 to interpret these labels.
For more information, consult the documentation for your IntelliBridge or
VueLink module and patient monitor.
