Instructions for Use Infinity Acute Care System - Monitoring Applications SW VG1 33
Operating Concept
Docking to a different Cockpit
If you undock an M540 from a Cockpit and later
dock the M540 to a different Cockpit, the original
data is automatically retrieved over the network by
the new Cockpit. The new Cockpit then
automatically merges this data with any data the
M540 collected while on patient transport. The
original Cockpit automatically discharges the
patient once all patient data are transferred.
If not all patient data was transferred, the message
Transfer of data incomplete appears in the
header bar of the new Cockpit. In this case, the
original Cockpit does not discharge the patient.
Undocking the M540
When you undock the M540, the following
happens:
– The message disconnected from M540
appears in the centre of the Cockpit screen.
– The message Bed disconnected appears at
the ICS.
– Several buttons remain active on the main-
menu bar of the Cockpit:
– Alarms... for accessing the alarm history
– Trends/Data... for accessing the trend data
– Start/Standby... for accessing the Start tab
where you can initiate a patient discharge.
The current patient data is no longer available to
the Infinity network, including parameter values
acquired via the device connectivity option.
Communicating with the Infinity
®
Network
When the M540 is docked on the M500 and the
IACS is connected to the network, the patient data
is available on the Infinity network. If the connection
to the Infinity network is lost, the Cockpit sounds an
alarm tone at 100% for any active alarm or any new
alarm condition.
Communicating with the Infinity network has the
following benefits:
– Patient data is sent across the Infinity network
to connected devices.
– The alarm status of the patient is reported to the
Infinity network and its connected devices. If
multiple alarm conditions are present, the alarm
with the highest alarm priority is reported.
– The patient can be admitted at the ICS (Infinity
CentralStation) for central monitoring.
– From other Infinity monitors, you can view the
Cockpits within the same monitoring unit using
the remote view function (see page 39).
– From the Cockpit, you can view other bedside
monitors (including other Cockpits) in the same
monitoring unit using the remote view function
(see page 38).
CAUTION
Before you connect the M540 to a different
Cockpit, make sure that the units of measure
align between the two devices. Differing units of
measure could result in loss of data or a patient
discharge.
