LAN/WLAN Data Export
This chapter describes the flow of events and the conventions and syntax of the HL7
messages used to send data over a wired (LAN) or wireless (WLAN) network.
For information about configuring the LAN/WLAN network and the Data Export
function, see the Efficia CM Series Patient Monitors Installation and Configuration
Guide.
LAN/WLAN Data Export Overview
Use the LAN Data Export option to export patient records to a wired network; use the
LAN/WLAN Data Export option to export patient records to a wired or wireless network.
For wireless data export, an internal radio board provides the wireless connection
between the monitor and the receiving system (server).
Data exported over a wired or wireless network can be encrypted. For information
about enabling encryption, see the Efficia CM Series Patient Monitors Installation and
Configuration Guide.
When the Efficia CM Series monitor is connected to a LAN or WLAN network and the
Data Export function is enabled, the monitor exports data periodically and
aperiodically.
The periodic export occurs at 60-second intervals, and if connected to the server
includes:
• The most recent record in the trend database (saved records are white).
Aperiodic export includes NBP measurements. These measurements are sent at the
time that they are complete. Also, alarms are exported as soon as they occur.
After the server sends a positive acknowledgment (ACK) message to the monitor, the
exported records in the tabular trend display change from white to green.
Only data with a primary ID is exported. If a record does not contain a primary ID (ID
Unknown
appears in the patient pane on the monitor), the data is not exported.
If the network is unavailable and the Data Export function is enabled, the trend data
remains in the tabular trend display at the monitor, but the data is not exported. When
the network connection is re-established, the monitor resumes exporting any alarms
that were not exported, and new trend data (the monitor does not resend old trend
data).
If the server finds an error in the exported data, it returns a negative ACK message to
the monitor. The rejected record in the tabular trend display changes from white to
blue. If programmed at the server, the negative ACK message may contain an error
message that indicates the reason the record was rejected.
