Philips V26CT, V24CT manual Data Transfer

Data Transfer

Data Transfer Module

The order in which the parameters are listed on the display is relative to the destination monitor, not the originating monitor.

Patient demographics have the highest priority in the order of data being transferred. The aperiodic parameters are transferred next, before continuously monitored parameters, for each hour. During a transfer to the monitor, aperiodic data obtained by the receiving monitor after the start of the transfer will have higher priority than the aperiodic data from the module.

Note—If the module is unplugged before a transfer is complete, some data may not be transferred.

With the exception of gas parameters, if a parameter has different units at the source and destination monitors, the data from the source will be converted to the units of the destination.

For gas parameters, there is no unit conversion between volume% and pressure (mmHg/kPa), and vice versa. To transfer gas parameters using a Data Transfer Module, the gas units at the source monitor must match the default units at the destination monitor. So, for example, if the CO2 units are configured for volume% at the source and for mmHg at the destination, ETCO2 and IMCO2 values will not be transferred.

If the monitor is put in Monitor Standby during a transfer, all processing in the monitor will stop, but the transfer will continue until it has completed, or the module is unplugged. The module keys will be disabled in Monitor Standby. When the monitor comes out of standby, regular updates to the module will continue at a rate of once per minute.

Transfers can occur in both Monitoring and Demo modes. Transfers between modes can only be made from a module in Monitoring Mode to a monitor in Demo mode.

Resampled and other manually entered data is annotated with an asterisk (*) at the destination monitor only if both source and destination monitors have software for Release F or higher (CMS) or Release A.0 or higher (V24 and V26).
