Touchscreen displays
Mirror display
Equipment overview
The touchscreen display allows you to select any selectable screen object by gently
tapping the object with your finger.
The following guidelines apply when using a touchscreen display:
Applying tape or other items to the screen impairs the touchscreen’s
functionality.
Using pencils, pens, or other sharp, pointed objects can damage the touchscreen.
Displaying right click menus is not supported by the touchscreen.
Primary and secondary displays can be a combination of touchscreen and non-
touchscreen displays.
Networked remote displays can pr ov ide a duplicate (mirror image) vi ew of a pri mary
CIC Pro center. When external speakers are connected to the remote displays, audible
alarm tones can also be sounded.
Laser printer
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD — Laser printers are UL 60950/IEC 60950
certified equipment, which may not meet the leakage current
requirements of patient care equipment. This equipment must not be
located in the patient environment unless the medical system
standard IEC 60601-1-1 is followed.
Do not connect a laser printer to a multiple portable socket outlet
(MPSO) supplying patient care equipment. The use of an MPSO for
a system will result in an enclosure leakage current equal to the sum
of all the individual earth leakage currents of the system if there is
an interruption of the MPSO protective earth conductor.
A laser printer can be configured to print alarm graphs, control settings, waveforms,
parameter numeric data, events, full disclosure, and graphic trend data.

Un-interruptible power supply (UPS)
WARNING
LOSS OF MONITORING — If power to the CIC Pro center is lost,
patient monitoring information will no longer be displayed or stored.
GE recommends using an un-interruptible power supply with the CIC Pro center.
Without a UPS, power line outages may result in:
Improper shutdown of the CIC Pro center, causing lengthy disk scan procedures
on reboot.
Data loss.
Failure of the CIC Pro center and other hardware components.
Theory of operation
Equipment overview
Functional description
The CIC Pro center application is designed to provide real-time patient data and
alarms for central nurse stations in hospitals. It can display real-time waveforms and
vital sign data, with visual and audible alarms, for up to 16 patients simultaneously.
The CIC Pro center supports both wired and wireless monitors and telemetry data.
The CIC Pro center software allows users to select any bed on the CARESCAPE
Network MC network and display an expanded view of that bed’s real-time
parameters and waveforms. This expanded view also allows users to view and modify
settings within the care unit, and view a patient’s other 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 also configurable.
All configuration data is stored, and is restored after a system power cycle or software
restart.

Physiological data
Periodic data
Episodic data
CIC Pro centers trend two types of physiological data: periodic and episodic.
Periodic data is constantly updated. Data is sampled every two seconds to yield 30
samples per minute. The displayed value is the median of the 30 samples. It is always
the median of a one-minute time frame, regardless of the interval selected.
The interval is the time between values, not the time of the value itself. For example,
a five-minute interval means one-minute samples spaced five minutes apart, not fiveminute samples, and not a median of the five one-minute samples. Odd number
values are rounded down to the nearest even number.
If the calibration of the system clock changes (for example, daylight saving time), the
time for periodic data slides into the revised time. However, episodic data is timestamped and retains its original time.
Examples of periodic data include heart rate and invasive blood pressure.
Episodic data is parameter data that is user, or system, generated. An example of
episodic data is non-invasive blood pressure.

File and data management
Log files
Log files generated by the CIC Pro center application, other associated applications,
and the CIC Pro center operating system are used during system analysis, problem
diagnosis, and troubleshooting. See Access log files on page 10-14 for more
information.
RWHAT packets
All monitoring devices on the CARESCAPE 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, CARESCAPE
Network-protocol messages are created, and operating system services are used to
transmit the message on the network.
Equipment overview
Storage
Printing
For example, when a CIC Pro center computer communicates with a telemetry
device, the telemetry device’s IP address is retrieved from the CIC Pro center
computer RWHAT database, the CARESCAPE Network messages are created, and
the CIC Pro center Windows operating system sends the messages to the telemetry
device.
The Full Disclosure (FD) Data interface uses the CARESCAPE Network IX
network to retrieve data from the database.
Each bed is stored in a separate directory, containing one index file and many
record files.
The FD Page printout is a configurable, time-period (license dependent)
overview of waveform activity. It is activated by clicking the print button located
in the top right corner of the FD Page window.
The FD Strip printout is a quick snapshot of what is currently on the screen. It is
activated by clicking the print button while the FD Page is being viewed.
There is a separate full disclosure printer selection from the main laser printer
selection on the setup page. Specifying a printer here does not advertise this CIC
Pro center as a print server on RWHAT (like the main laser selection). It is used
exclusively by the local full disclosure system. A printer must be “Added” to the
operating system before it will show up in the drop-down list.

Equipment overview
Licensing
Full disclosure
All features and functions of the CIC Pro center are determined by the licenses
activated and running on each CIC Pro center. Licenses are specific to each individual
CIC Pro center’s serial number, are node locked, and cannot be used (floated) by
another CIC Pro center.
The CIC Pro center full disclosure system stores all waveform and parametric data
from a patient for up to 72 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
CARESCAPE Network waveform packet (4/sec) and every parameter packet (1
every 2 seconds) is stored on the CIC Pro center. In addition, one RWHAT packet and
one admit packet is stored every minute to help recreate the patient’s history.
Unlike an alarm history event stored at the bedside, which only stores a 10 second
snap shot surrounding the event, full disclosure allows the user to scroll back in time
(prior to the event and leading up to the event).
Behaviors or rules
Installation
Incompatible with previous full disclosure system (prior to CIC Pro center v3.x).
Certain Unit Defaults are incompatible with CIC Pro center v3.x systems.
Start-up modes
ModeDescription
Auto For AllAutomatically detects admitted beds that are not currently storing
full disclosure data anywhere and attempts to start full disclosure on
one of the CIC Pro centers within the care unit. This works
regardless of whether the bed was admitted directly at the bedside
or the CIC Pro center. Full disclosure cannot be stopped on a
particular bed until the bed is discharged.
Auto If ListedSame 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
storing full disclosure data.
Manual ModeBeds are not automatically storing full disclosure data upon
admission. Users can manually start and stop full disclosure for a
particular bed by using a button located on the FD Strip page in the
single viewer window. All full disclosure data is deleted when full
disclosure is stopped for a bed. See the CIC Pro Clinical
Information Center Operator’s Manual for more information.
Licensing
Support for up to 16 patients per CIC Pro center.
2-14CIC Pro™2026419-033E
Page 41
Control
Equipment overview
Stores 72 hours of data per patient regardless of license type. Licensing controls
amount of data that is viewable.
Unit Licensing Mode sets which type of license is requested. Supported types:
None (default - 1 hour), 24, 48, 72 hours.
Failure to obtain a license results in no patient data is stored for full disclosure.
Licensing information is stored with data, so restrictions follow data regardless
of where it is viewed, even if viewed in a different care unit with a different Unit
License Mode.
CIC Pro center master and full disclosure
There is one full disclosure master CIC Pro center per care unit. The CIC Pro center
with the lowest MC IP address (126.x.x.x is “lower” than 3.x.x.x) within the care unit
becomes the full disclosure master.
The CIC Pro center master performs the following activities in one minute
increments:
Detects admitted (but not full disclosure data collection) beds within the care
unit, for Auto modes.
Assigns beds (for full disclosure acquisition) to CIC Pro centers within the care
unit.
Applies multi-full disclosure, twin-bed rules, and rover rule.
Identifies CIC Pro centers with full disclosure capability.
NOTE
The CIC Pro center master checks the software versions of the other CIC Pro
centers before trying to identify CIC Pro centers with full disclosure
capability . Software versions earlier than 2.5 are ignored.
Guarantees that the right CIC Pro center is contacted if retrieving data while a
multi-full disclosure condition is occurring and that the multi-full disclosure
condition will be corrected.
NOTE
A CIC Pro center will not act as full disclosure master during the first minute
after it starts up. Instead, the latest data is first collected from the other CIC
Pro centers on the network, and this data determines which CIC Pro center
becomes master. Multiple masters on a network might occur, but only briefly
(this will self-correct within a couple of minutes).
Minute rule or the Offline Storage setting
For more information, see Set the full disclosure defaults on page 6-47.
The Offline Storage setting determines the length of time the CIC Pro center will
maintain full disclosure data for a bed from which it has stopped receiving data (e.g.,
a NO COMM condition).
If the NO COMM condition ends within the Offline Storage setting time frame,
full disclosure data collection for the bed continues.
2026419-033ECIC Pro™2-15
Page 42
Equipment overview
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 and new data collection is started for the bed.
When a CIC Pro center starts up, it determines when full disclosure data was last
received from the assigned beds.
If the latest data for a bed:
Is not older than the Offline Storage setting, then full disclosure data
collection continues for the bed.
Is older than the Offline Storage setting, existing data associated with the
bed is deleted, and new data collection is started for the bed.
Multi-full disclosure rule
If multiple CIC Pro centers are running in a care unit, the multi-full disclosure rule
allows the switching of full disclosure data collection from one CIC Pro center to
another, if a CIC Pro center goes offline (e.g., reboot, shutdown, etc.).
The following examples describe how the multi-full disclosure rule works when using
two CIC Pro centers (CICA and CICB).
NOTE
In the examples, start up mode is Auto, and only one bed (BED1) is used.
Example 1:
1.CICA goes offline and stops full disclosure data collection on BED1. This causes
CICB to begin full disclosure data collection on BED1.
NOTE
The master CIC Pro center detects CICA going offline, and switches full
disclosure data collection over to CICB, within a minute of the offline event
occurring.
2.CICA comes back online withi n the Offline Storage setting time frame, and
continues full disclosure data collection on BED1 again. At this point, CICA and
CICB are both collecting full disclosure data on BED1.
3.The multi-full disclosure rule does not allow more than one CIC Pro center to
collect full disclosure data from 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
collecting full disclosure data on BED1, and CICB stops.
2-16CIC Pro™2026419-033E
Page 43
Equipment overview
Example 2:
1.CICA goes offline and stops collecting full disclosure data on BED1. This causes
CICB to begin collecting full disclosure data on BED1.
NOTE
The master CIC Pro center detects CICA going offline, and switches full
disclosure data collection 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 the new BED1
data collection begins on CICA. At this point, CICA and CICB are BOTH
collecting full disclosure data on BED1.
3.The multi-full disclosure rule does not allow more than one CIC Pro center to
collect full disclosure data from 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
collecting full disclosure data from BED1, and CICA stops.
NOTE
At every wake-up cycle (1 minute interval), the CIC Pro center full
disclosure master scans all CIC Pro centers within the care unit to determine
if more than one CIC Pro center is collecting full disclosure data from the
same bed (this can happen as part of normal operation). If the master detects
this condition, all CIC Pro centers are instructed to stop collecting full
disclosure data from the bed except for the one CIC Pro center 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/bedside monitored bed, and the
other is telemetry bed. Both beds share the same name (e.g. BED), but '*' is
appended to the telemetry bed name (e.g. BED and BED*). Both beds represent
the same patient.
NOTE
If the hardwire or telemetry bed was not functioning 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, full disclosure data collection continues, and the
data is stored under the bed name, but without the '*'.
2026419-033ECIC Pro™2-17
Page 44
Equipment overview
NOTE
Combo mode is stopped (breaking Combo mode) by discharging either bed.
If this happens, full disclosure data collection 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.
The following are Combo mode examples:
Combo mode Example 1:
1.A hardwired bed BED is admitted and full disclosure data is collected.
2.A telemetry bed BED* is admitted and full disclosure data is collected. Two
separate full disclosure data stores exist, one for each bed (possibly on a different
CIC Pro centers).
3.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. Full disclosure
data collection continues, and the data is stored under the name BED.
4.Combo mode is broken by discharging BED*. Full disclosure data collection
continues, with the data still stored under the name BED.
Combo mode Example 2:
1.A hardwired bed BED is admitted and full disclosure data is collected.
2.A telemetry bed BED* is admitted and full disclosure data is collected. Two
separate full disclosure data stores exist, one for each bed (possibly on a different
CIC Pro centers).
3.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. Full disclosure
data collection continues, and the data is stored under the name BED.
4.Combo mode is broken by discharging BED. Full disclosure data collection
continues, and the data is now stored under the name BED*.

Combo mode Example 3:
1.A telemetry bed BED* is admitted and full disclosure data is collected.
2.A hardwire bed BED is admitted and full disclosure data is collected. Two
separate full disclosure data stores exist, one for each bed (possibly on a different
CIC Pro centers).
3.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. Full disclosure data
collection continues, and the data is stored under the name BED.
4.Combo mode is broken by discharging BED*. Full disclosure data collection
continues, and the data is still stored under the name BED.
Combo mode Example 4:
1.A telemetry bed BED* is admitted and full disclosure data is collected.
2.A hardwired bed BED is admitted and full disclosure data is collected. Two
separate full disclosure data stores exist, one for each bed (possibly on a different
CIC Pro center).
3.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. Full disclosure data
collection continues, and the data is stored under the name BED.
4.Combo mode is broken by discharging BED. Full disclosure data collection
continues, and the data is now stored under the name BED*.
Bed name/IP address changes (rover rule)
The CIC Pro center tracks full disclosure data for individual beds using a combination
of the bed name and IP address.
If a bed name changes during full disclosure data collection, information within the
data reflects the new name at the point the name change occurred.
If a bed IP address changes during full disclosure data collection, but the name does
not, it is interpreted as a new and different bed, and a new full disclosure data store is
created and utilized for the new bed.
2026419-033ECIC Pro™2-19
Page 46
Equipment overview
Unit Boundary
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 full disclosure 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 time frame, 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 time frame, the bed with the new IP
address is interpreted as a replacement for the bed with the original IP address. In
this case, the full disclosure data for the bed with the original IP address is
deleted, and full disclosure data collection continues, and the data is stored under
the bed with the new IP address only.
Each care unit operates independently with respect to storage of full disclosure
data. The only interaction is when displaying data across care units.
License mode: All beds within a care unit will have access to the same amount of
data storage (based on time) unless there is a failure to get a license (1 hour).
NOTE
This can be different across different care units (e.g., UnitA-72hours, UnitB-
None (1 hour).
Networking
Start-up mode: The same start-up rules apply to all beds within a care unit.
Default: The same full disclosure defaults are used on all CIC Pro centers within
a care unit.
Full disclosure master: One per care unit.
Acquisition/storage: The master CIC Pro center will only assign beds within the
care unit to CIC Pro centers within that care unit. At no time will data for a bed
be stored on a CIC Pro center in a different care unit.
Bed unit changes: If a bed changes its care unit name during full disclosure data
collection, all data for the bed is deleted. The care unit where the bed moved
becomes responsible for the bed.
CIC Pro center unit changes: If a CIC Pro center changes its care unit name
during full disclosure data collection, all data for all beds being having full
disclosure data collected by that CIC Pro center is deleted. The care unit with the
original name is responsible for the beds.
NOTE
The Unity Network has been renamed to the CARESCAPE Network. Not all
references to the Unity Network will be changed immediately; Unity may appear
in some places and CARESCAPE in others. It is important to understand that
while the CARESCAPE Network replaces the Unity Network name, they refer to
the same GE monitoring network.
2-20CIC Pro™2026419-033E
Page 47
Patient monitoring network
The CIC Pro center processes and displays real-time data acquired from up to 16
networked GE monitors or telemetry transmitters/transceivers connected to the
CARESCAPE Network.
When patient data is acquired from ApexPro telem etry transmitters/transceivers
(telemetry beds), the data is transmitted to a telemetry receiver where it is then
transferred to the CARESCAPE Network via a wired connection. The CIC Pro center
displays this telemetry bed patient data along with the patient data acquired from
other monitors.

center physical location should provide at least the following minimal ventilation
clearances:
The vent holes in the bottom of the unit must not be obstructed. A minimum airspace
of 1 centimeter (3/8 inch) must be provided between the vent holes and the supporting
surface. When installed with the bottom vent holes down, the unit must be on a hard,
flat surface with the bottom feet intact.

Installation
Electrical grounding
Do not remove the bottom feet or operate with the bottom of the unit on a carpeted
surface.
If installed with the vent holes in the bottom surface to the side (standing on a side, or
vertical installation), a minimum of 1 centimeter (3/8 inch) clearance must be
provided between the vent holes and the adjacent surface.
Duplex power outlet
A properly grounded duplex power outlet is required for each CIC Pro center.
NOTE
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that this requirement is met.
Additional outlets may be required to accommodate connected peripheral equipment.
The power outlet must be installed in an approved junction box. Use only a threeprong, polarized, hospital-grade power outlet to accept the three-prong polarized CIC
Pro center power plug.
Grounding system
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD — The CIC Pro center and all peripheral
equipment must be adequately grounded or a shock hazard may
exist. Do not use plug adapters that defeat the grounding capability
of the three-prong power plug. An ungrounded electrical device
presents a potentially severe and dangerous shock hazard.
The grounding pin of all power outlets 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 AWG 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 power
outlet must be individually connected to a central grounding point. Do not jumper
from ground pin-to-ground pin of the outlets.
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 to an earth ground. If this is not
possible, then a good ground reference, such as a metal water pipe, or an electricallyconductive 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.

Un-interruptible power supply (UPS)
WARNING
Connect the UPS to the CIC Pro center(s) and display monitor(s)
only. Do not connect printers or other devices to a UPS, as such
devices may shorten estimated run-times. If AC line power is not
restored before UPS run-time is exceeded, the CIC Pro center
improperly shuts down and patients will not be monitored.
WARNING
Without a UPS, power line outages may result in:
Improper shutdown of the CIC Pro center, causing lengthy disk
scan procedures on reboot.
Data loss.
If power to the CIC Pro center is lost, patient monitoring
information will no longer be displayed or stored.
Installation
GE recommends using a UPS with the CIC Pro center. See Accessories on page 9-6
for a listing of UPS units available for the CIC Pro center. Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for installing the UPS.
NOTE
The CIC Pro center draws approximately 40 watts of power. The displays each
draw approximately 50 watts of power. See the table on page 5-7.

Precautions
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK— To avoid electric shock, the CIC Pro center
and its accessories should not be placed within the patient
environment, which is a volume related to an object (bed, chair,
table, treadmill, etc.) where a patient is intended to be diagnosed,
monitored, or treated.
WARNING
LOSS OF ALARMS — CIC Pro center V5.1 x is in-unit compatible
with CIC Pro center V4.0.7 or later. It is not in-unit compatible with
versions of CIC Pro center V3.1 or earlier and is not in-unit
compatible with any versions 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. See Device compatibility on page C-1.
WARNING
LOST OR INTERMITTENT COMMUNICATION — Do not
exceed a maximum of 15 CIC Pro centers in a single logical care
unit.
Attempting simultaneous displays of a patient monitor (bedside or
telemetry) at too many CIC Pro centers may cause lost or
intermittent communication between CIC Pro centers and the
patient monitor. This is evidenced by NO COMM or intermittent
communication conditions for the beds.
The maximum CIC Pro centers viewing a patient bedside monitor
can vary depending on bedside monitor capabilities and network
design.
Both hard-wired and telemetry beds are limited in the number of
remote view connections that can be supported.
There are limitations for the device quantity supported by the
CARESCAPE Network. Please contact GE for guidance on
CARESCAPE Network construction.

Pre-configuration process
Pre-configuration requirements
All the CIC Pro centers connected to the CARESCAPE Network IX and MC
networks must comply with the following configuration requirements:
All devices must have the same time zone settings.
The Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes check box
must remain UNCHECKED at all times.
All MC network IP addresses must be in the same IP scheme with the same
subnet mask.
All IX network IP addresses must be in the same IP scheme with the same subnet
mask.
In the hierarchy of multiple compatible CIC Pro center hardware and software
versions that co-exist, it is important to assign a set of the highest MC network IP
addresses to the highest software version. For example, if you are installing CIC
v5.1.x to an existing CARESCAPE Networ k co mprising of CIC v4.0.7 or later,
you must allocate a set of the highest MC network IP addresses to all of the CIC
Pro center’s hardware running CIC v5.1.x. No lower version CIC Pro center can
have an IP address on the MC network that is greater than the IP address of a
higher version CIC Pro center.
Use the Check Centrals utility to check for the following on all the CIC Pro centers on
the network:
Time zone settings
Daylight saving time (DST) status
CARESCAPE Network IP address errors
Status of 4.1.1-1 patch application on CIC Pro center v4.1.1 (available only with
the release of CIC Pro center v5.0.7 or later)
NOTE
The Check Centrals utility does not discover any version of Central Scope.
The Check Centrals utility will discover CIC Pro center hardware running
v1.5, but will not report its IP configuration information. This means that
you must physically locate these devices if they exist on the network. Please
read step 5 on page 6-5.
The Check Centrals utility will not discover any non-CIC Pro center device
(e.g., printers, Aware Gateway, PDS) on the network.
The Check Centrals utility is also supplied separately. (For the part number of the
Check Centrals utility, see Disaster recovery software kit and Service Tools CD on
page 9-6.) You can run the utility directly from the CD on BCM and Nightshade
platforms. However, this utility must be copied from the CD to an NTFS formatted
USB memory stick for use on Bedrock platforms (v4.1.1 and greater).

WARNING
During the timeframe that GE patient monitoring devices are
connected to a non-validated network, customers must be aware that
they are operating this system with increased risk, especially for
devices that rely specifically on the network for real time
transmission of alarms and other monitoring data. This increased
risk comes about because GE has not been able to review/approve
the proposed network design and/or commission the implemented
network to ensure it meets required performance specifications.
The devices at increased risk include, but are not exclusive to,
medical telemetry and all patient monitoring done from the CIC Pro
center.
Since monitoring data flows to and from central stations, telemetry
servers, and other medical devices, the lack of a commissioned
network can affect the performance of the overall system. Further,
the lack of a validated network may result in limited technical
support for troubleshooting product issues on products that rely on
the CARESCAPE Network.
8.Investigate if there are any spare (un-connected) CIC Pro centers in the biomed
shop and/or if there are any CIC Pro centers in the care area that are designed to
work on customer demand (e.g., connected to the network, currently switched off
and used only when needed). Before introducing such CIC Pro centers to the
existing network, do the following:
a.Make sure that those CIC Pro center hardware and software versions are
compatible (as listed in step 5):
The time zone settings are the same.
The Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes check
box must remain UNCHECKED at all times.
All MC IP addresses must be in the same IP scheme with the same
subnet mask.
All IX IP addresses must be in the same IP scheme with the same subnet
mask.
b.Inform the biomed about the fo llowing Caution:
