Pairing Networked Devices
10-4 Pairing Monitoring Devices
Pairing with
a Direct
Connection
to the MP5
When the transceiver, assigned to a patient sector at the Information Center, uses
an interface cable to connect to an MP5 Patient Monitor, the Information Center
automatically pairs (if configured to do so) the two devices. Pairing using this
method provides up to 4 ECG waves at the MP5, along with SpO
2
measurements and a pleth wave. Lead selection and alarm limits may be
changed either at the Information Center or the MP5 Patient Monitor.
To connect the transceiver to the monitor, perform the following steps:
WarningWarning
When the transceiver is directly connected to the monitor, arrhythmia
relearning is initiated, and again when the transceiver is disconnected from
the monitor. During relearn, a short dropout period may occur. Be sure to
check your patient’s arrhythmia annotation for accuracy whenever relearn
has occurred.
Controls on the transceiver (e.g. nurse call) will be inactive when the device
is directly connected to the monitor except in the case when the monitor has
no network connection and data are transferred via the transceiver.
Step Action
1 Remove the protective cover from the transceiver’s monitor/service
port.
2 Insert the interface cable into the monitor/service port.
3 Attach the interface cable to the monitor using the port labeled with
the icon.
