Dräger Isolette 8000 plus - Using the Communication Interface

106 Instructions for use Isolette 8000 plus SW 5.n
Operation
8.12 Using the communication interface
The RS-232 port enables the user to export incubator data (actual values, set
points, alarms) to a patient monitor or a central monitoring system.
The Isolette 8000 plus supports serial data output and Dräger MEDIBUS.X
communication protocol.
MEDIBUS.X is a software protocol for data exported between Isolette 8000 plus
and an external device by an RS-232 interface. (Examples are hemodynamic
monitors, data management systems, or computers).
Before transferring data, strictly follow the information in these documents:
– MEDIBUS.X, Rules and Standards for Implementation (9052607)
– MEDIBUS.X, Profile Definition for Data Communication V1.n (9052608)
– Serial Data Output Protocol Description for Isolette family (MU22509)
8.12.1 Configuring the communication protocol
To select the desired communication protocol, perform the following procedure:
1 Switch off the incubator on/off switch.
2 While pressing the Audio Paused/Reset key, switch on the incubator on/off
switch to enter the system set-up menu.
3 Using the Display Selection key, scroll down to the External interface option.
4 Select Serial Data or MEDIBUS.X.
5 To exit the set-up menu, press the Audio Paused/Reset key.
✓ Data exports automatically.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
All data exported over the MEDIBUS.X interface are for information only. Data
accessible through this interface are not suitable for a decentralized alarm system
in accordance with IEC 60601-1-8 (regarding remote monitoring).
► Data must not be used as the sole basis for diagnostic or therapeutic decisions.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock
Connecting devices to the MEDIBUS.X interface can lead to an increased leakage
current. If the protective grounding of one of these devices fails, the leakage current
may rise above permissible values.
► Only connect with the approval of the respective device manufacturer.
► Service personnel must check the leakage current.
► If permissible values are exceeded, disconnect the devices from the
MEDIBUS.X interface.
8.12.2 Using external monitors (Dräger Infinity Delta and Delta XL)
To view incubator status data on an external monitor, perform the following
procedures.
