Fukuda DS-8500 - Wireless Network System

Safety Precautions for Using the Equipment
 On the DS-LAN II network, waveform, numeric data, and alarm of BP7, BP8, TEMP3 to 8 will not be
transmitted. (These can be transmitted on the DS-LAN III network). Also, the displayable waveform,
numeric data, and alarm will differ depending on the central monitor model type. Refer also to the operation
manual for the respective central monitor.
 The PR_IBP alarm will not be transmitted to the central monitor.
 If the "RR/APNEA alarm source" is other than [Impedance] (or, if [Auto] selects a setting other than
[Impedance]), the RESP waveform will not be transmitted on a wired network.
 If the "RR/APNEA alarm source" is other than [CO
2
/GAS] (Or, if [Auto] selects a setting other than [CO
2
/
GAS]), the CO
2
waveform will not be transmitted on a wired network.
 For the numeric data displayed as "xxx", maximum or minimum value of measurable range will be
transmitted.
 The numeric data displayed as "--- " will be treated as not measured data.
 If the measurement unit of CO
2
concentration is mmHg and [99mmHg] is selected for "Upper Limit of CO
2
(mmHg) Transmission" ([Initial Settings]>[System]>[DS-LAN]), the CO
2
value of 100 mmHg or above
will be transmitted as 99 mmHg.
 As the DS-8500 System do not have the arrhythmia template display and 12-lead ST display function,
waveforms and other data will not be displayed for these displays on the central monitor connected to the DS-
LAN network.
 When connected to the wired network, the time/date will synchronize with the central monitor. Even if the
time/date is changed on the DS-8500 System, it will be corrected to the time/date of the central monitor.
 The ST display will be distorted on the central monitor if the ECG lead (ECG1 or ECG 2) is changed on the
DS-8500 System. Redrawing the ST display will return the display to normal.
 On the central monitor, the respiration waveform and RR value based on the RR/APNEA alarm source selected
on the DS-8500 System will be displayed. The monitored RR and APNEA will be the same for the central
monitor and the DS-8500 System.
Wireless Network System
 When monitoring a patient using wireless telemetry, make sure the patient data is properly received at the
central monitor. Pay special attention when the channel ID at the bedside monitor is changed.
 A password can be set to access the channel ID setup menu to allow only the telemetry channel administrator
to change the channel ID.
 Some type of wireless combinations may generate interference with other telemetry.
 Before selecting a channel, verify it will not interfere with other channels.
 Inform the supervisor of the use of telemetry channels to avoid interference with other telemetry.
 If transmitters are used in a neighboring medical facility, your facility and the neighboring facility must make
agreements on the setting of the telemetry channels to prevent telemetry interference.
Precautions about the Telemetry
 When performing telemetry transmission, configure the display so that the numeric data corresponded to the
waveform is displayed. If not, the displayed waveform or numeric data may not be transmitted.
 The setup of channel ID and group ID should be performed only by the telemetry channel administrator or our
service representative. Users should not perform this procedure as malfunction may occur.
 When the measurement unit of BP is "kPa", corresponding waveform and numeric data will not be transmitted.
When using a wireless network, use "mmHg" for the BP measurement unit.
 BP waveform with a scale above the set scale can not be properly transmitted. When transmitting the BP
