Equipment Label and OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal Fetal
Monitor Domain Name
For connection to an OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal system over a network, OB TraceVue/
IntelliSpace Perinatal requires each fetal monitor to have a unique equipment label.
When a fetal monitor is configured with an equipment label, this equipment label is sent as part of the
CI message. In OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal, it is possible to specify a Fetal Monitor Domain
Name in the fetal monitor configuration user interface (see OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal
Instructions for Use for details). The OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal system compares this name
with the fetal monitor equipment label. Only if the domain name matches the beginning of the
equipment label string, is the CI message processed and accepted. Otherwise the CI message is
ignored.
Using this filtering process, you can avoid conflicts where there are multiple OB TraceVue/
IntelliSpace Perinatal systems operating in the same network segment by controlling which monitors
connect to a specific OB TraceVue/IntelliSpace Perinatal system, and which monitors are excluded.
To enter or change the equipment label:
1 Enter Configuration Mode.
2 Select Main Setup.
3 Select Bed Information.
4 In the Bed Information menu, select Equipment Label.
5 Enter the desired equipment label for your monitor (up to 12 alphanumeric characters are
displayed), then press
Enter.
Data Export/ Data Out Functionality
Data output/export is possible via LAN, or MIB/R232 interfaces.
The I/O boards typically provide data to externally attached devices, for example to RS232 based data
collection devices.
For a multi-purpose card it is necessary to configure the card for a particular purpose first. The MIB/
RS232 card can support Tympanic Temperature, data import, data export, external touch display
(FM40/FM50 only).
For more detailed information on this subject please refer to the Data Export Interface Programming
Guide.
Configuring the LAN Data Export Setting
The data that can be exported via the LAN interface is configurable. You can choose between the
following options: all, anonymous data, off. In case of anonymous data the patient name and given
name are not included in the data stream.
1 To change the CentralMonitorng configuration switch, first switch to Configuration Mode.
2 To configure the LAN Data Export setting, in Configuration Mode, select Main Setup to enter the
Main Setup menu.
3 Select Global Settings.
4 Select LAN Data Export and toggle the appropriate setting.
