Technical data

Connections to IT networks

Data can be exchanged across an IT network by
using wired and wireless technologies. An IT net-
work can be any data interface (e.g., RS232, LAN,
USB, printer interface) that is described in stand-
ards and conventions.
During operation, this device can exchange infor-
mation with other devices by means of IT networks
and supports the following functions:
– Display of waveforms and parameter data
– Signaling of alarms
– Recording, storing, and printing
– Remote control (e.g., alarm management)
– Access to saved patient data
– Transfer of device settings and patient data
– Service mode, access to logbooks
Connecting this device to a network that incorpo-
rates other devices or making subsequent changes
to that network can lead to new risks for patients,
users, and third parties. Before the device is con-
nected to the network or the network is changed,
these risks must be identified, analyzed, and eval-
uated, and appropriate measures taken.
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

Information on connecting to the IT net-
work
Prerequisites
This device must only be connected to the network
by service personnel. The IT representative of the
hospital must be consulted in advance.
The following documents must be followed:
– Accompanying documents of this device
– Descriptions of the network
– Description of the network-based alarm sys-
tems
Dräger recommends observing IEC 80001-1 (Risk
management for IT networks incorporating medical
devices).
LAN networks
– LAN networks are usually configured in a star
topology. Individual devices can be combined
into groups by means of layer-n switches. Other
data traffic is decoupled by means of separate
VLAN networks. Configure the network settings
of the device in accordance with these instruc-
tions for use and the network specifications.
– Specifications for LAN connections are de-
scribed in the following standards:
– Wired networks: IEEE 802.3
– Wireless networks: IEEE 802.11 (b, g, n)
– If the device is used with a layer-2 switch or a
layer-3 switch, the port settings on the network
switch must be configured. Before the device is
shipped, Dräger can configure the network set-
tings of the device so that they correspond with
the specifications of the operating organization.
