WARNINGS
LOSS OF MONITORING — If the monitoring at the CIC Pro is
temporarily interrupted, alternate monitoring devices or close
observation should be used until the monitoring function at the
CIC Pro is restored.
Indications of a loss of the monitoring function at the CIC Pro are
as follows.
RED SCREEN (RED/GRAY screen for second monitor in
dual-display configured systems) indicates the CIC Pro
application is restarting itself and patient monitoring at the
CIC Pro is NOT occurring. The monitoring function at the
CIC Pro will automatically resume. No user action is
required.
BLUE SCREEN indicates the Windows NT operating system
has a functional error and patient monitoring at the CIC Pro is
NOT occurring. If the CIC Pro does not automatically restart
after 60 seconds, the monitoring function at the CIC Pro will
not resume until you turn off the power to the CIC Pro and
then turn the power back on. The monitoring function should
resume in approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
Once the monitoring function at the CIC Pro has been restored,
you should verify the correct monitoring state and alarm function.

Introduction: Safety Information
WARNINGS
CIC Pro V4.0.x is NOT in-unit compatible with prior versions of
CIC Pro or any version of Centralscope. Sharing of the same care
unit name across central stations having incompatible software
versions can result in lost or corrupted telemetry alarm defaults
data and loss of audible alarms. Additionally, CIC Pro V4.0.x
cannot access full-disclosure data on CIC Pro V3.x units.
(CIC Pro v4.0.7 Only) Care units running more than one CIC Pro
must complete the procedure “Care Units with Multiple CIC Pros
Telemetry Defaults Upgrade” on page 3-53 after performing the
upgrade procedure. Failure to perform this procedure creates a inunit incompatibility situation which can result in lost or corrupted
telemetry alarm defaults data and loss of audible alarms.
ApexPro v3.X is not compatible with prior versions of ApexPro
within the same facility. If one ApexPro v3.X is installed at a
facility , all ApexPro installation at the same facility must be
upgraded to v3.X.
Definitions
Do not exceed a maximum of 15 CIC Pros in a single logical care
unit. Both hardwire and telemetry beds are limited in the number
of remote view connections that can be supported. Attempting
simultaneous displays of a patient monitor (bedside or telemetry)
at too many CIC Pros may cause lost or intermittent
communication between CIC Pros and the patient monitor. This is
evidenced by NO COMM or intermittent communication
conditions for the beds. The maximum CIC Pros viewing a patient
monitor can vary depending on patient monitor capabilities and
network design.
CAUTION
Do not load any software other than that specified by GE Medical
Systems Information Technologies onto the CIC Pro server.
Installation of software not specified by GE Medical Systems
Information Technologies may cause damage to the server or loss
or corruption of data.

Equipment Description: Theory of Operation
Theory of Operation
CIC Pro Functional Description
The CIC Pro application is connected to the Unity Network MC network via
Ethernet to provide real-time patient data and alarms for central nurses’ stations in
hospitals.
The CIC Pro can display real-time waveforms and vital sign data with visual and
audible alarms for up to 16 patients simultaneously. CIC Pro supports both hardwire
and telemetry data.
The software allows the user to select any bed on the Unity Network MC network
and to display an expanded view of that bed’s real-time parameters and waveforms.
This expanded view also allows the user to view and modify settings (within the
care unit) and view other patient data including alarm histories, graphic trends and
tabular trends.
The user can configure the number of patients displayed by the system, and the
number of displayed waveforms per patient. Waveform colors are configurable.
All configuration data is stored, and is restored after a system power cycle or
software restart.
The system runs on the Microsoft Windows NT operating system (version 4.0 SP6
or later).
ApexPro Telemetry System Functional Description
The ApexPro telemetry system is connected to the Unity Network MC network via
Ethernet to provide real-time patient data and alarms for central nurses’ stations in
hospitals and also connects to a telemetry system via the Unity Network RX
network (refer to your specific telemetry system documentation for more
information).
ApexPro telemetry provides clinicians with patient physiological information while
allowing for patient mobility. The physiological parameters monitored include
ECG, non-invasive blood pressure, and SpO
to the CIC Pro for processing and display via Ethernet or the Unity Network MC
network.
. This physiological information is sent

How Trends are Calculated
GE Medical Systems Information Technologies systems trend two types of
physiological data: periodic and episodic.
Periodic data is constantly updated. Examples of periodic data include heart rate
(HR) and blood pressure (BP). Episodic data are events that are user or system
generated. Examples of episodic data include temperature (Temp) and non-invasive
blood pressure (NiBP).
Periodic data is sampled every two seconds to get 30 samples per minute. The value
displayed is the median of the 30 samples. Odd-number values are rounded down to
2-4CIC ProRevision D
2001099-145
File/Data Handling
Log Files
Equipment Description: Theory of Operation
the nearest even-number. The value is always the median of a one-minute time
frame, regardless of the interval selected. The interval simply defines which trended
data displays (i.e., five minute intervals means the trended data are one-minute
samples spaced five minutes apart, NOT five-minute samples and NOT a median of
the five one-minute samples from that period).
If the calibration of the system clock changes (for example, daylight savings time),
the “time” for periodic data “slides” into the revised time. However, episodic data is
time-stamped and retains its original time.
Log files generated by the CIC Pro application, other associated applications and the
CIC Pro operating system are used during system analysis, problem diagnosis and
troubleshooting. For more information about retrieving log files, refer to the
following:
“Download Logs” on page 7-11.
“View Logs” on page 7-16.
“CIC Pro Log Files” on page 8-6.

“Webmin Connection Errors” on page 8-10.
“Capture All Logs on the CIC Pro” on page 8-19.
“ApexPro Application Log Files” on page 8-27.
RWHAT Packets
Storage
All monitoring devices on the GE Unity Network periodically broadcast information
about themselves in “RWHAT” packets. Among other things, RWHAT packets
contain IP address, port number, name and offered services information about each
device.
All monitoring devices listen for RWHAT packets and maintain a database of
information about other devices on the network. When devices need to
communicate, the appropriate IP address information is obtained from the database
and Unity network protocol messages are created. The operating system services are
used to transmit the message on the network.
For example, when a CIC Pro computer communicates with a telemetry device, the
telemetry device’s IP address is retrieved from the CIC Pro computer’s RWHAT
database. The Unity network messages are created and the operating system sends
the messages to the telemetry device.
The FD Data interface uses the Unity Network IX network to retrieve data from
the database.
Each bed is stored in separate directory, containing one index file and many
record files.
Revision DCIC Pro2-5
2001099-145
Printing
Full Disclosure
Equipment Description: Theory of Operation
The Report printout is a configurable, long-time-peri od ov erview of waveform
activity. It is activated by pressing the Report Print button on the FD display.
The Strip printout is a quick snapshot of what is currently on the screen. It is
activated by pressing the Print button while the FD tab page is being viewed.
There is a separate FD printer selection from the main laser printer selection on
the setup page. Specifying a printer here does not advertise this CIC Pro as a
print server on (like the main laser selection). It is used exclusively by the local
FD system. A printer must be “Added” to the NT system before it will show up
in the drop-down list.
The CIC Pro Full Disclosure (FD) system stores all waveform and parametric data
from a patient for up to 76 hours. This data can be randomly accessed later in a static
display that looks similar to the real-time display window. To accomplish this every
Unity Network waveform packet (4/sec) and every parameter packet (1 every 2
seconds) are stored to disk on the CIC Pro. In addition one RWHAT packet and one
admit packet are stored every minute to help recreate the patient’s history.
Unlike an alarm history event stored by the bedside, which only stores a 10 second
snap-shot surrounding the event, with Full Disclosure the user can scroll back in
time prior to the event to see what was going on with the patient, leading up to the
event. Each CIC Pro can handle up to 16 patients.
CAUTION
TIME CHANGES AFFECT FULL DISCLOSURE DATA —
When the time is changed on the Unity MC network for spring
and fall Daylight Savings Time (DST) events, CIC Pro Full
Disclosure data will be affected.
When the time is ADVANCED by one hour, the oldest hour
of Full Disclosure data at the end of the FD storage file is
deleted.
When the time is set BACK one hour, the most recent hour of
Full Disclosure data will is replaced with the new hour's Full
Disclosure data.
Before changing the time on the Unity MC network, review the
Full Disclosure information for all patients in the care unit. If
there are events which should be archived, record this information
BEFORE changing the time.

Start-up modes
Auto For All – Automatically detects admitted beds that are not currently being
FD’d anywhere and attempts to start FD on one of the CIC Pros within the unit.
This works regardless of whether the bed was admitted directly at the bedside or
the CIC Pro. FD cannot be stopped on a particular bed until the bed is
discharged.
Auto If Listed – Same as Auto For All but only if the bed in question is entered
into the list on the FD Unit Defaults setup screen. All other beds are not Full
Disclosed
Manual Mode – Beds are NOT automatically full disclosed upon admission.
User can manually start and stop FD for a particular bed by using a button
located on the Full Disclosure tab sheet. All FD data is deleted when Full
Disclosure is stopped for a bed.
.
Licensing
Control
Support for up to 16 patients per CIC Pro.
Stores 76 hours of data per patient, unless disk drive is less than 10GB
(considered a non-FD machine. Nightshade servers only), then only 1 hour of
data is stored.
Stores 76 hours of data regardless of license type. Licensing controls amount of
data that is viewable.
Unit Licensing Mode sets which type of licen se is requested. Supported types:
None (1 hour), 24, 48, 72 hours.
Failure to obtain a license results in that bed not being FD’d (0 hours).
Once a license is successfully obtained, if the license server is removed, access
is restricted to 1 hour, until the server is returned.
Licensing information is stored with data, so restrictions follow data regardless
of where it is viewed, even if viewed in a different unit with a different Unit
License Mode.
CIC Pro Master and Full Disclosure
NOTE
There is only one “master” CIC Pro per unit (with respect to FD). The CIC Pro
with the lowest IP address is the master.
Revision DCIC Pro2-7
2001099-145
Equipment Description: Theory of Operation
The CIC Pro master wakes up every minute to perform the following activities:
Detects admitted (but not FD’d) beds within the unit for Auto modes.
Assigns beds (to be FD’d) to CIC Pros within the unit .
Applies Multi-FD and Twin-Bed Rules.
Uses the FDSvr process to find the "FULL DISCLO" service, identifying CIC
Pros with FD ability. The "FULL DISCLO" service is used by the CIC Pro
master while searching for other CIC Pros to query, control & assign beds.
NOTE
The CIC Pro master checks the versions of the other CIC Pros before trying
to identifying CIC Pros with FD ability. Versions earlier than 2.5 are
ignored.
Uses the LocateFD service (provided by FDSvr) to guarantee that the right CIC
Pro is contacted if retrieving data while a multi-FD condition is occurring.
NOTE
A CIC Pro will NOT act as master during first minute after start-up. Instead,
the latest data is first collected from the other CIC Pros on the network, and this
data determines which CIC Pro becomes master. Multiple masters on a network
might occur, but only briefly--this will self-correct within a couple of minutes.
Minute Rule/Offline Storage Setting
(see “Offline Storage” on page 3-36)
The Offline Storage Setting determines the length of time the CIC Pro will maintain
FD data for a bed from which it has stopped receiving data (a NO COMM
condition).
If the NO COMM condition ends WITHIN the Offline Storage setting time
frame, FD for the bed continues.
If a NO COMM condition exceeds the Offline Storage Setting time frame, all
data for the bed is deleted. If (while in Auto mode) the bed comes back online
(the NO COMM condition ends) after this point, the bed is reassigned as a new
and different bed.
When FD starts up on a CIC Pro, it determines when data was last received
from the assigned beds.
If the latest data for a bed:
IS NOT older than the Offline Storage Setting, then FD data collection
continues for the bed.
IS older than the Offline Storage Setting, existing data associated with the
bed is deleted, and a NEW data collection is started for the bed.
Multi-FD Rule
If multiple CIC Pros are running in a unit, the Multi-FD Rule allows switching of
FD data collection from one CIC Pro to another if a CIC Pro goes offline (reboot,
shutdown, etc.).
The following examples describe how the Multi-FD Rule works when using 2 CIC
Pros (CICA and CICB).
2-8CIC ProRevision D
2001099-145
Equipment Description: Theory of Operation
NOTE
In the examples, start up mode is “Auto”, and only one bed (BED1) is used.
Example 1:
1.CICA goes offline and stops FD'ing BED1. This causes CICB to begin FD'ing
BED1.
NOTE
The master CIC Pro detects CICA going offline, and switches FD over to
CICB, within a minute of the offline event occurring.
2. CICA comes back online within the Offline Storage Setting time frame, and
continues FD'ing BED1 again. At this point, CICA and CICB are BOTH FD'ing
BED1.
3.The Multi-FD Rule does not allow more than one CIC Pro to FD the same bed
at the same time--only the data that goes the farthest back in time (CICA) is
kept. Because of this, CICA continues FD'ing BED1, and CICB stops.
Example 2:
1.CICA goes offline and stops FD'ing BED1. This causes CICB to begin FD'ing
BED1.
NOTE
The master CIC Pro detects CICA going offline, and switches FD over to
CICB, within a minute of the offline event.
2.CICA comes back online after exceeding the Offline Storage Setting time
frame. Because of this, existing BED1 data is deleted from CICA, and NEW
BED1 data collection begins on CICA. At this point, CICA and CICB are
BOTH FD'ing BED1.
3. The Multi-FD Rule does not allow more than one CIC Pro to FD the same bed
at the same time--only the data that goes the farthest back in time (CICB) is
kept. Because of this, CICB continues FD'ing BED1, and CICA stops.
NOTE
At every wake-up cycle (1 minute interval), the CIC Pro master scans all CIC
Pros within the unit to determine if more than one CIC Pro is FD’ing the same
bed (this can happen as part of normal operation). If the master detects this
condition, all CIC Pros are instructed to stop FD’ing the bed except for the one
CIC Pro with the oldest data for the bed.

Combo mode (Twin-Bed Rule)
In combo mode:
1.Two beds are on the network: one is a hardwired bed, and the other is telemetry
bed. Both beds share the same name (e.g. BED), but '*' is added to the name of
the telemetry bed name (e.g. BED and BED*). Both beds represent the same
patient. NOTE: If NOT in combo mode, these two beds would be treated as
distinct and separate.
2.Only the oldest bed data is kept. Data for the other bed is deleted.
3.No matter which data is kept, FD continues, and the data is stored under the bed
name, but without the '*'.
4.Combo mode is stopped (breaking combo) by discharging either bed. If this
happens, FD continues on the UNDISCHARGED bed, and the data is stored
under the UNDISCHARGED bed name.
NOTE
If the hardwired bed is discharged, '*' would again be included in the
name.
Combo Mode Example 1:
a.A hardwired bed BED is admitted and is FD'ed.
b.A telemetry bed BED* is admitted and is FD'ed. Two separate FD data
stores exist, one for each bed (could be on different CIC Pros).
c.The two beds are put into combo mode. When this happens, BED data is
kept because it is older than BED* data, and BED* data is deleted. FD
continues, and the data is stored under the name BED.
d.Combo is broken by discharging BED*. FD continues, with the data is still
stored under the name BED.
Combo Mode Example 2:
a.A hardwired bed BED is admitted and is FD'ed.
b.A telemetry bed BED* is admitted and is FD'ed. Two separate FD data
stores exist, one for each bed (could be on different CIC Pros).

Bed Name/IP Address Changes
The CIC Pro tracks FD data for individual beds using a combination of bed name
and IP address.
If a bed name changes during FD, information within the data reflects the new name
at the point the name change occurred.
If a bed IP address changes during FD, but the name does not, it is interpreted as a
new and different bed, and a new FD data store is created and utilized for the new
bed.
Revision DCIC Pro2-11
2001099-145
Unit Boundary
Equipment Description: Theory of Operation
If a bed goes offline, and another bed with the same name but a different IP address
comes online, it is interpreted as a new and different bed and a FD data store is
created and utilized for it. However, the following conditions apply:
If the bed that went offline (with the original IP address) comes back online
within the Offline Storage Setting timeframe, the two beds continue to be
treated as separate, since the different IP addresses positively identify them as
distinct and separate.
If the bed that went offline (with the original IP address) DOES NOT come
back online within the Offline Storage Setting timeframe, the bed with the new
IP address is interpreted as a REPLACEMENT for the bed with the original IP
address. In this case, the FD data for the bed with the original IP address is
deleted, and FD continues, storing data for the bed with the new IP address
ONLY.
Each unit operates independently with respect to Full Disclosure. The only
interaction is when displaying data across units.
License Mode – All beds within a unit will have access to the same amount of
data storage (based on time) unless there is a failure to get a license (0 hours).
Can be different across different units (i.e. UnitA-72hours, UnitBNone)(1hour).
Start-up Mode – Same start-up rules applied to all beds within a unit.
Default – Same FD defaults used on all CIC Pros within a unit.
Master – One per unit.
Acquisition/Storage – The master will only assign beds within the unit to CIC
Pros within the unit. At no time will data for a bed be stored on a CIC Pro in a
different unit.
Bed Unit Changes – If a bed changes its unit name while bein g FD’d, all data
for the bed is deleted. The unit to which the bed moved is responsible for
dealing with the bed.
CIC Pro Unit Changes – If a CIC Pro changes its unit name while FD’ing beds,
all data for all beds being FD’d by that CIC Pro is deleted. The unit to which the
beds belonged is responsible for dealing with those beds.

CIC Pro Telemetry Tower Option
The TELEMETRY TOWER option includes several selections that allow new
software to be loaded into a CD Telemetry®-LANTM cabinet assembly (or
subsystem) through a disk drive. The software up-load process for the telemetry
tower is controlled entirely through the CIC Pro system.
To upload software into the Telemetry Tower, refer to the ApexPro software
upgrade instructions PN2001989-188.
WARNING
Perform software uploads according to the update instructions that
accompany the software. Improper use of this option may result in
loss of patient monitoring or patient data. Do NOT upload
software unless instructed to do so by qualified service personnel
and only after the telemetry system is properly prepared.
As part of procedure you have to reboot the tower to initiate new
tower.
Make sure you notify the responsible personnel for the admitted
patients (monitored by the CD Telemetry-LAN cabinet (or
subsystem) that is rebooted) that the cabinet will be rebooted and
they will lose patient monitoring for a few minutes.
WARNING
During the reboot period monitoring functions are lost. The
buttons for the "lost" patients change on the central stations to
show ADMIT. This may lead some monitoring system users to get
the "lost" patients back by readmitting them. Instruct all personnel
NOT to admit any of the "lost" patients during reboot. Once the
cabinet finishes rebooting the "lost" patients return automatically.
Note that when you activate new software, all patient historie s and
trends are lost.

Each CIC Pro with version 4.x software comes with the ability to store 16 beds of
Full Disclosure (FD) data for one hour without a license. A CIC Pro with the Full
Disclosure option and version 4.x software has the ability to store up to16 beds for
72 hours with the appropriate licenses and license settings.
When operating two CIC Pro servers within the same “care unit” where one has the
Full Disclosure option and the other does not, it is necessary to turn Full Disclosure
OFF on the CIC Pro without the Full Disclosure option to prevent a conflict with the
two different storage capacities of the CIC Pro units.
Server Without Full Disclosure
A Nightshade/Omnitech platform may require a hardware modification to support
anything greater than 1 hour Full Disclosure. However, for those Nightshade/
Omnitech CIC Pro that do not have a F drive and have purchased Full Disclosure
licenses within the care unit, you must perform the following steps to disable Fu ll
Disclosure on that CIC Pro.

Read and fully understand the pre-installation requirements. Verify all requirements
are met before attempting installation of the CIC Pro system.
Site Requirements
The computer tower is capable of producing heat and must be physically located to
allow the heat load to be adequately dissipated.
WARNING
SERVER LOCATION — The computer server is UL 60950\IEC
60950 certified equipment which may not meet the leakage
requirements of patient care area equipment. This equipment must
not be located in the patient vicinity as a shock hazard may exist,
unless the medical electrical system standard, IEC 60601-1-1 is
followed.
Failure to adequately ventilate the computer tower may cause
equipment failure or improper operating conditions which may
endanger the patients being monitored.
Environmental Limits
CAUTION
Do not locate the computer tower or display in an enclosed area
that may restrict dissipation of the heat generated by the
components. Any air flow restrictions may cause a rise in internal
temperature which may result in equipment failure. The computer
tower uses an internal forced air cooling system, but most displays
do not.
The user must determine the heat dissipation requirements of the
selected display and design a ventilation system accordingly.
The server operates reliably within normal office environmental limits. Select a site
that meets these criteria:
Clean and relatively free of excess dust.
Well ventilated and away from sources of heat.
Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
The server should be isolated from strong electromagnetic fields and electrical noise
produced by electrical devices such as elevators, copy machines, air conditioners,
large fans, large electric motors, radio and TV transmitters, and high frequency
security devices.
Clearance and Airflow
The site should provide sufficient clearance behind and around the server to ensure
proper cooling and airflow. Keep ventilating openings on the server free of
obstructions.
Allow about 31 centimeters (12.2 inches) of clearance in back of the server, 60
centimeters (23.6 inches) on the sides, and 22 centimeters (9 inches) in front.
Access Space
Plan access space for server maintenance. Make sure there is convenient access to
disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet or from the back of the server,
because disconnecting the cord is the only way to remove AC power from the server
before doing maintenance or upgrade procedures. Pressing the DC push-button on/
off switch on the front panel does NOT remove server AC power.

Width21.08 cm (8.3 in)20.0 cm (7.9 inches)
Loss of power to the computer tower results in loss of patient
monitoring capabilities to the system, and to any remote display
monitors connected via hardwire or modem.
Two properly grounded duplex wall receptacles should be provided for each system.
Additional receptacles may be required to accommodate peripheral equipment
connected to the system. The wall receptacles must be installed in an approved
junction box. Use only three-prong, polarized, hospital-grade wall receptacles to
accept the three-prong polarized plug on the computer equipment.
Un-Interruptible Power Supply (UPS)
GE Medical Systems Information Technologies recommends the use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with the system. If a UPS is NOT used, a power
outage could result in an improper shut down of the system and cause a lengthy disk
scan procedure when the unit reboots. You could also lose data in the event of a
power outage if you do not use a UPS.
CAUTION
Connect the UPS to the PC CPU(s) and display(s) only. Do NOT
connect printers or other devices to a UPS. Other devices my
shorten estimated run times. If power is not restarted in time the
unit shuts down and patients will not be monitored.
Follow the UPS manufacturer’s recommendations for installation.
UPS Runtime Estimates and Options
CAUTION
Connect the UPS to the PC CPU(s) and display(s) only. Do NOT
connect printers or other devices to a UPS. Other devices may
shorten estimated run times. If power is not restarted in time the
unit shuts down and patients will not be monitored.
Runtimes are expressed in hours:minutes. Typical runtimes based on fully charged,
new batteries operating under typical load conditions. Runtimes are affected by:
Battery age,
Ambient temperature,
Site specific UPS usage patterns, and
Load characteristics.
SHOCK HAZARD — The computer tower and all peripheral
equipment must be adequately grounded or a shock hazard may
exist.
The grounding pin of all wall receptacles and all exposed metal parts (beds,
radiators, water pipes, etc.) in any patient area should be electrically connected
together. This common ground point should be connected to the nearest
equipotential ground through a bonded grounding system, or with a 10 AW G
stranded copper grounding cable.
The equipotential ground point should be as close to earth ground potential as
possible. If a bonded grounding system is not available, the ground pin of each wall
receptacle must be individually connected to a central grounding point. Do NOT
jumper from ground pin-to-ground pin of the receptacles.
The grounding system must not carry current, such as a grounded neutral, since the
current flow will produce potential differences along the ground path. These
potential differences are a shock hazard source for equipment users and patients.
Do NOT use conduit as a ground conductor. Plastic (PVC) piping or fittings used in
the conduit runs can break the electrical connection to ground, resulting in potential
shock hazards.
The electrical grounding system should be connected on an earth ground. If this is
not possible, then a good ground reference such as a metal water pipe or an
electrically-conductive building component should be used. IT IS MORE
IMPORTANT THAT ALL GROUNDED OBJECTS IN THE PATIENT AREA
ARE AT THE SAME GROUND POTENTIAL RATHER THAN AT EARTH
GROUND POTENTIAL.

Installation & Configuration: CIC Pro Installation
CIC Pro Installation
WARNINGS
CIC Pro V4.x is NOT in-unit compatible with prior versions of
CIC Pro or any version of Centralscope. Sharing of the same care
unit name across central stations having incompatible software
versions can result in lost or corrupted alarm defaults data and loss
of audible alarms.
(CIC Pro v4.0.7 Only) Care units running more than one CIC Pro
must complete the procedure “Care Units with Multiple CIC Pros
Telemetry Defaults Upgrade” on page 3-53 after performing the
upgrade procedure. Failure to perform this procedure creates a inunit incompatibility situation which can result in lost or corrupted
telemetry alarm defaults data and loss of audible alarms.
Do not exceed a maximum of 15 CIC Pros in a single logical care
unit. Both hardwire and telemetry beds are limited in the number
of remote view connections that can be supported. Attempting
simultaneous displays of a patient monitor (bedside or telemetry)
at too many CIC Pros may cause lost or intermittent
communication between CIC Pros and the patient monitor. This is
evidenced by NO COMM or intermittent communication
conditions for the beds. The maximum CIC Pros viewing a patient
monitor can vary depending on patient monitor capabilities and
network design.
WARNINGS
Only external devices specifically designed to be connected to the
PC tower, or approved by GE Medical Systems Information Technologies for use with this system, should be connected, as
specified in this manual or as otherwise specified by the
manufacturer.
A shock hazard may exist if external devices are connected other
than as described in this manual, or as directed by the
manufacturer.
External equipment must be connected to the CIC Pro only by
qualified biomedical engineering personnel.
WARNING
When using keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) switching devices
with the CIC Pro, only the keyboard and mouse should be
switched through the KVM. The video for each CIC Pro should be
displayed on its own monitor. Failure to do so may result in
delayed recognition of alarm events.

CIC Pro Configuration
Configure Time/Date Settings
WARNING
This warning applies when a new CIC Pro is being configured or a
CIC Pro is re-imaged.
Make sure the CIC Pro you are configuring is not connected to the
network when configuring time/date settings.
Because the time master CIC Pro changes the time/date values of
all other CIC Pros on the network to match it’s own, any change to
the time/date values on one CIC Pro can effect all units on the
network, which can result in other monitors altering the time and
date parameter of some patient data.
Before connecting new/updated CIC Pros to the network, make
sure the time/date values for all CIC Pros on the network are set
the same (as close as possible), otherwise, patient data time/d at e
parameters could be adversely effected.
Time Zone AND Time/Date
If making changes to the time zone and the time/date use the following:
1.Select Setup CIC at the bottom of the screen.
2.From the CIC Setup screen, select the Service Password tab.
3.Type mms_com at the password prompt. Press Enter. Verify the GE Marquette Clinical Information Center or GEMS Information Technologies CIC command

Setup a Mirrored CIC Pro
The Mirror Central Display option all ows doub le-monitoring of patients from
remote, or secondary central stations. The display on the remote central station is
configured to mirror the originating central station (i.e. the same patients are shown
in the same display slots).
If the remote central station is located in the same care unit as the originating central
station, it can be used to perform the Admit/Discharge, or any other display-type
operation(s). The changes affect both central stations. For example, if the patient in a
display slot is changed at one central station, the change is also automatically
performed on the mirroring central station.
CAUTION
Use caution when configuring mirror central station displays.
Since changes at one central station can affect the other display,
there may be an inadvertent loss of patient monitoring at the
primary central station.
You can set up a mirrored CIC Pro for remote monitoring. This is set in the service
mode. Changes made on one CIC Pro are NOT always made at the other CIC Pro.
The main and mirrored CIC Pro share bed lists. When a mirrored CIC Pro is set up,
these rules are in place:
If the user selects new parameters or colors to view on one display, that view is
NOT “mirrored” on the other display.
Auto Display is disabled at the mirrored CIC Pro. However, it is still active on
the main CIC Pro. Y ou must select Disable Auto Display on the Display Format
tab of the main CIC Pro.
When using the mirror feature, configure both the main and mirrored CIC Pro
to the same Display Format tab settings. Whenever these settings are changed
on one CIC Pro, they are NOT reflected on the other.
The title bar of the mirror CIC Pro displays mirror of [CIC SELECTED].

Offline Storage
The Full Disclosure Minute Rule exists as a precautionary measure when contact
with a monitor has been lost. The feature is applied most often when the monitor is
being used in the Rover application, since the monitor “roves” from room to room,
on and off the network.
3-36CIC ProRevision D
2001099-145
Installation & Configuration: CIC Pro Configuration
If a discharge/admit cycle occurs off the network for a bed that is being full
disclosed, the Full Disclosure sub-system is unaware that the patient has changed.
When the bed returns to the network, Full Disclosure will present the data from the
discharged and admitted patients as part of the more recent patient’s data. The Full
Disclosure Minute Rule helps to prevent this by assuming that the patient has been
discharged if the monitor is off the network for greater than the number of minutes
selected with the Offline Storage control.
WARNING
POTENTIAL DATA LOSS — Do not allow a NO COMM

Using the ptsconfig Utility
For the sake of troubleshooting and identifying what beds are admitted on any CIC
Pro running ApexPro for multiple receiver systems, it helps to configure the
ApexPro application running on the computer by using the ptsconfig utility.
Refer to “ApexPro PTSCONFIG Utility” on page 2-21 for descriptions of the
ptsconfig commands.
Complete the following steps to configure the ApexPro application:
1.From the Setup CIC window, select Service Password and enter mms_com.
Press Enter. The MS-DOS window opens.
2.At the c:\Program Files\Marquette\CIC\4.x> type cd<space>..\..\pts\x.x and
press Enter (x.x = current software revision).
3.At c:\Program Files\Marquette\pts\x.x> type in ptsconfig and press Enter.
4.Type modify unit, press Enter, then type APRO, and press Enter.
5.Type modify tower and press Enter. Type in the name of the CIC Pro that the
Receiver System is connected to.
Example: If the CIC Pro is named CIC1, then name the tower CIC1. This
helps when troubleshooting and trying to identify where receivers
are admitted to which PC.
6.Type in display tower and press Enter to verify that the unit and tower names
where entered properly.
Example: APRO|CIC1

When using the “modify receiver” command, all other care units that could
utilize the remaining unassigned receivers in a rack should be added to the
receiver list (modify receiver command). If this is not done, available
unassigned receivers will not be used.
Example: A receiver rack containing 16 receivers is configured with 4
receivers explicitly assigned to the “3Floor” care unit. The
unassigned receivers setting is enabled (Y) for the “3Floor” care
unit. In this configuration, the “3Floor” care unit can use all 16
receivers available in the rack.
If other care units need access to unassigned receivers in the rack,
those care units must also be added to the receiver list, explicate
