I.4 PDMS or other computer system
WARNING
The computer connected to the HAMILTON-G5
should be for medical use and meet the require-
ments of IEC 60601-1. Alternatively, a battery-
powered laptop computer can be used. DO NOT
connect other types of personal computer (PC),
because such computers do not fulfill the require-
ments of the standard. Consult a technical special-
ist or safety inspector in your hospital for more
information.
From the RS-232 interface, the device can transmit data from
the ventilator to a patient data management system (PDMS), or
other computer system. Data from the ventilator can be pro-
cessed with software such as Microsoft® Excel. This is a useful
tool for data management and clinical studies.
This application requires the hardware shown in Figure I-2. It
also requires Data Logger software and manual; contact your
HAMILTON MEDICAL representative.
For more information about the communications protocol,
contact HAMILTON MEDICAL.
