Interfacing with Non-GE Devices
Introduction
General
When connected to a Unity Network Interface Device (ID) connectivity device, the
monitor can interface with up to seven non-GE peripheral bedside devices at the same
time. The connectivity device is intended for use on one patient at a time.
For more information on the Unity Network ID connectivity device, refer to the
operator and service manuals.
Safety
The following safety statements apply when interfacing with non-GE devices.
WARNING
ACCURACY— Patient information transferred by the connectivity
device must be qualified by medical personnel before permanent
storage in a database.
WARNING
ALARMS—The peripheral device’s alarms must not be turned off
or the volume reduced in any way to diminish the importance of the
peripheral device as the primary alarm source for parameters
monitored by the peripheral device.
WARNING
CORRECT INTERFACE ADAPTER—Use of the wrong interface
adapter may cause improper operation of the supported peripheral
device. Verify that the correct interface adapter on the peripheral
device is operational before the device is used on a patient.
WARNING
INSTALLATION—Qualified technical personnel must connect the
interface adapter to the peripheral device and make any necessary
adjustments to the peripheral device (baud rate, parity, etc.) as
described in the specific installation instructions for the interface
adapter.
Insert cabling from the Unity Network ID connectivity device only
into specified interface adapters and specified peripheral devices.
To avoid inadvertent disconnection, route all cables in a way to
prevent a stumbling hazard. Wrap and secure excess cabling to
reduce risk of entanglement by patients and personnel. Do not install
in a location where the device may drop on a person.
