Overview
The Efficia CM Series Patient Monitors can be configured to export patient data from the
monitor to a receiving system in your network, using a wired Local Area Network (LAN)
connection, a wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) connection, or an RS-232 serial
adapter.
This guide describes how to configure your Efficia CM Series monitor to send HL7 data to
a receiving system in your network using a wired LAN, wireless WLAN, or serial adapter.
Note — Each Efficia CM Series monitor can export data to one destination server. The
monitor cannot be configured to export data to multiple destinations.
The Efficia CM Series Data Export Guide provides detailed information about the
structure and syntax of the HL7 messages that are exported from the monitor. For
information about HL7 integration options, contact the Philips Customer Care Center.
Warning • It is the responsibility of the hospital to verify that the network is functioning
correctly and that the data is sent to the receiving system. After configuring the
monitor and network settings, test the system to verify that the patient data has
been successfully sent to the appropriate EHR system in the correct format.
• Do not configure the network or system settings on the monitor while actively
monitoring patients. Monitoring is suspended during the configuration process.
• Efficia CM Series monitors connected to network/data coupling that includes
other equipment could result in previously unidentified RISKS to patients,
operators, or third parties. It is the responsibility of the hospital to identify,
analyze, evaluate, and control such RISKS. Subsequent changes to the
network/data coupling could introduce new RISKS and require additional analysis.
Changes to the network/data coupling include:
• Changes in the network/data coupling configuration
• Connection of additional items to the network/data coupling
• Disconnecting items from the network/data coupling
• Update of equipment connected to the network/data coupling
• Upgrade of equipment connected to the network/data coupling
