Operating Instructions Caleo, Software 2.n
MEDIBUS interface
The hospital connections to the central alarm typically use only
one channel. The electronics for nurse call consequently also
use only one channel.
MEDIBUS interface*
Serial interface for connecting up to medical devices which
comply with IEC/EN 60601-1, for transmitting the incubator
status data (actual values, set values, alarms).
For details of the characteristics, refer to the Technical Data,
page 168.
1 Connect plug to the receptacle marked »Medibus« on the
rear panel of the control unit and secure with screws.
z Take care to route the connection cable so that damage
does not occur.
z Ensure that the connector plug cannot be pulled out
accidentally.
WARNING!
Connection of a nurse call does not relieve staff of their
duty to check patient data at regular intervals.
z Screen displays must be checked regularly.
WARNING!
A fault in any of the components in the link between
nurse call and central hospital alarm system (e.g. in the
electronics for nurse call in Caleo, in the Caleo power
supply,
or in the enunciator of the central hospital alarm
system, etc.) may result in failure of the nurse call.
WARNING!
The system must meet the requirements about medical
electrical equipment in accordance to IEC/EN 60601-1-1
and IEC/EN 60601-1-2.
* Available option
WARNING!
Connect external devices to the interfaces only while
Caleo is properly grounded via its power cable and a
grounded wall outlet or via the grounding pin on the rear
panel of the control unit.
Otherwise, the risk of electric shock cannot be safely
excluded.
WARNING!
All data that are transmitted via medical devices are for
information only and should not be used as the sole
basis for clinical decisions.
