CONNECTIVITY AND ECG TRANSMISSION
ECG Transmission
The ELI 280 can transmit acquired ECG records to an E-Scribe system, ELI Link or to a third-party electronic
medical record (EMR) system. The interface to these systems can be via direct connection, factory installed
internal modem (optional), LAN or WLAN connection, using UNIPRO 32, or DICOM 32 protocols.
Before transmitting ECGs, certain configuration options must be set in system settings depending upon the
transmission media used and the electronic storage media being transmitted to.
NOTE: Telephone transmission is available with internal modem only.
NOTE: In order to properly connect to telephone lines, the ELI 280 internal modem needs to be set on the
proper country code. This is an internal setting and should not be confused with International calling
codes.
NOTE: Select at any time it appears to return to the real-time display.
In order to transmit ECGs the WLAN signal must be strong enough to transmit. WLAN performance may vary due
to changes in RF (radio frequency) properties at your site or to environmental conditions. Signal strength can be
measured using a utility available in the ELI 280 menu.
Testing RF signal strength
1. Select from the real-time display.
2. Select Advanced.
3. Select Network.
4. Signal strength displays as zero to five bars with zero being no RF signal strength and five bars being full
RF signal strength.
5. If an adequate signal is not being obtained, move to a location where more bars display before attempting
to transmit.
NOTE: Intermittent connectivity in certain areas of your facility often indicates the need to re-initiate the
transmission process. Consult the IT department at your facility or your Mortara Field Service Engineer
regarding modification of your WLAN to improve system performance.
NOTE: Ensure the system has been configured to the area network before attempting a RF signal strength
test.
Transmitting Records to the Cardiology Management System
To transmit a record to the cardiology management system, press Send from the acquired ECG view.
To transmit all un-transmitted records, press from the real-time display.
