Using the X2 with a Host Monitor (Companion
Mode Indicated)
Host monitors that can support the X2 as a multi-measurement module require software revision
F.00.00 or higher. When you connect an X2 to a host monitor, an integrated system is formed for
monitoring a single patient. The following general observations and considerations apply to such a
system:
•The host monitor is the “master” of the system, and you have full control over all the system’s
operation only via the host monitor.
•Functions you can operate on an X2 are restricted to measurements originating in that device. If you
try to operate controls that are disabled, you are prompted by the message Not available in
Companion Mode.
•Depending on how it is configured, your host monitor can determine whether the user interface of a
connected X2 is completely disabled or not, and what is displayed (a standard main screen, or a
blank screen similar to the Standby screen indicating Companion Mode).
This is controlled by two monitor settings that are applied to the X2 on connection. You can change
the settings in Configuration Mode.
•General settings from the host monitor are applied to the X2 on connection. When disconnected
from the host, the X2 applies its own general settings.
•No audible alarms are available on an X2 when connected to a host monitor. The only visual alarm
indication is provided by the alarm lamps which are controlled by the host monitor. Alarms become
active again as soon as the X2 is disconnected from the host monitor.
•The host monitor is the master of all ADT information. ADT operations on the X2 are disabled,
and any pending actions on the X2 (for example, admit or end case) are cancelled.
•The date and time of the X2 is synchronized with that of the host monitor.
Pairing When Connected to a Host Monitor
(Companion Mode Indicated)
An X2 with an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface will be automatically paired when it is
connected to a host monitor and it has been declared as a “telemetry device” at the Information Center.
Pairing Without a Direct Connection
When the X2 is declared as a telemetry device and has a connection to the Information Center, it can
also be paired to a host monitor even without a direct connection:
1 Select Main Setup then Measurements
2 Select Telemetry
The Setup Telemetry menu will appear with only one entry Paired Equipment.
3 Enter here the equipment label of the telemetry device to be paired.
