Introducing the Capsule Neuron 2
Overview
The Capsule Neuron 2 is Capsule's point-of-care hardware platform for device connectivity. It is a
flexible and scalable platform that you can configure to operate in various care areas of the hospital.
In high acuity environments, such as the ICU, the Capsule Neuron 2 typically runs Capsule’s Status
Application to enable continuous collection of vital signs for one patient from multiple devices. In low
acuity, non-critical care settings (such as med-surg), the Capsule Neuron 2 typically runs Capsule's
Mobile Vitals Plus Application to enable the automatic collection, validation, and transmission of vital
signs from multiple patients to the EMR directly from the point of care.
Note: Do not operate the Capsule Neuron 2 until after you read and understand these instructions.
Pay particular attention to all warnings and cautions.
Note: For information about the administration of DataCaptor software, IT personnel should refer to
the DataCaptor System Administrator’s Guide.
Note: To operate the Capsule Neuron 2, clinicians require training in the procedures described in the
Capsule Neuron Status Application Clinical User’s Guide and the Capsule Neuron Mobile Vitals
Plus Application Clinical User’s Guide.
Note: To operate any medical device that connects to the Capsule Neuron, clinicians must be
separately trained in the use of that device.
Intended Use
The intended use of the DataCaptor™ system is for data collection and clinical information
management, either directly or through networks with independent bedside devices.
Capsule's hardware and software are not intended for monitoring purposes, nor is the software
intended to control any of the clinical devices (independent bedside devices/information systems) to
which it is connected. There is no other known contraindication for the use of the Capsule Neuron 2
system.
Caution: Do not modify the Capsule Neuron 2, cables, or any part of the DataCaptor Connectivity
software, or mount the device in any way other than instructed in Capsule documents.
Any modification to the hardware or software can prevent proper functioning and cause
damage to the connected medical device.
