Operating Concept
M540-and-Cockpit Communication
Communication between the M540 and the Cockpit
starts as soon as the M540 is docked in the M500
(see page 59). The M540 acquires physiological
signals from the patient and relays them to the
Cockpit for display. The Cockpit makes the patient
data available to the Infinity network.
When the M540 is docked, the Cockpit assumes all
acoustic alarm signal enunciation. However,
alarms are always reported visually at the Cockpit
and at the M540.
.
The only exceptions are Cockpit-specific alarm
messages such as External device disconnected
for which the M540 does not report any audible and
visual alarm signals.
When the M540 is docked, any changes to the
patient setup, such as alarm limits made on the
Cockpit, are automatically transferred to the M540
(and vice versa).
Docking the M540
As soon as you dock the M540 in the M500, the
following happens at the Cockpit:
– The message Connecting to M540 appears in
the centre of the Cockpit screen.
– The Cockpit makes the data of the M540
available to the Infinity network.
Docking to the same Cockpit
If you undock an M540 from a Cockpit and later
dock the M540 to the same Cockpit, the data
collection continues seamlessly. The Cockpit
automatically retrieves any data the M540 collected
while on patient transport, and merges it with the
data set for that patient.
NOTE
If you also want alarms to sound at the M540 when
it is docked, select the alarm tone volume at the
M540 manually. For information, refer to the M540
Instructions for Use.
NOTE
If the M540 cannot communicate with the Cockpit,
the Cockpit sounds an alarm. In addition, an alarm
indicating a loss of communication is broadcast
over the network to the Infinity Central Station
(ICS) provided the patient is admitted there. The
M540 continues to monitor the patient.
NOTE
If you dock an M540 with a patient category that
differs from the one selected on the Cockpit, the
setting of the Cockpit changes to match the one of
the M540.
