Communications interface
RS-232 serial and
analog I/O port
The ventilator can exchange both analog and RS-232 digital data through a
25-pin D-sub connector on the rear panel. The ventilator assumes the "slave”
role and responds to commands from the external "master.” The digital port
uses a standard RS-232, null modem pin configuration with the auxiliary pins
supporting analog data I/O.
This port permits the ventilator to send data to a patient monitor or a hospital
information system. The ventilator is compatible with Philips monitors (see
“Using Philips IntelliBridge or VueLink” on page B-13), It is compatible with
Cardiopulmonary Corporation’s Bernoulli Ventilator Management System. For
complete compatibility information, contact your Philips representative.
