Equipment Overview: Unity Network Patient Data Server
Unity Network Patient Data Server
The Unity Network Patient Data Server stores patient monitoring data
that is collected from an acquisition device (e. g. patient monitor,
telemetry transmitter, etc.) and allows it to be viewed from a CIC Pro
with software version 4 or greater.
All data is stored under the patient’s identification or medical record
number (PID), which must be entered while the patient is admitted and
on-line. The PDS stops saving data if the acquisition device goes off-line
or is discharged. The stored patient data can be viewed from any PDS
enabled CIC Pro on a Unity Network, for more detailed information
regarding viewing patient data, refer to the CIC Pro Clinical Information Center Operator’s Manual.
Data Storage Rules
Proper admit/discharge procedures for the acquisition device must be
followed to ensure that data from the different patients is not mixed.
A valid PID must be entered for a device prior to the acquisition
device being discharged or the acquisition device’s network status
changing to off-line for the record to be stored.
Every PID must be unique to prevent different patient’s data from
being mixed.
Any changes to a PID after it is entered will result in a new PDS
record.
The PDS does not store off-line data.
The CIC Pro allows the user to select a data source when viewing
trends and alarm histories. The bedside option allows for viewing of
all data stored on that acquisition device. The PDS option allows for
viewing of trends and alarm histories acquired from any acquisition
device that has been on-line and admitted with a unique PID in the
past 72 hours.
The PDS stores up to 72 hours of trends and 500 alarm histories per
patient.
The PDS stores both periodic and episodic parameters collected from
an acquisition device. A detailed list of supported parameters is
included in the Unity Network Patient Data Server Administrators Manual (PN 2016777-020).
To view stored data for a discharged patient, you must admit an
acquisition device using the patient’s PID.
Revision AUnity Network Patient Data Server3-3
2016777-001
Equipment Overview: Unity Network Patient Data Server
Overlapping Data Rules
If two acquisition devices are admitted with the same PID, the PDS
provides all non-overlapping parameters for both devices and all alarm
histories.
The rules that govern overlapping parameters vary by type of data:
1. For overlapping periodic parameters, the PDS provides the
parameter with the first admit time. For example:
a. The patient is admitted to an acquisition device A with a PID.
This acquisition device is acquiring ECG and SpO2 data.
b. The same patient (or other patient) is admitted to acquisition
device B with the same PID from step (a). This acquisition device
is acquiring ECG only.
In this scenario, ECG is the overlapping parameter since it is
collected at both acquisition devices. Only the ECG from device A will
be viewable from the CIC Pro until device A is discharged or the
parameter is no longer acquired.
User Interface
2. For overlapping episodic parameters, the PDS provides the
parameter with the first admit time. For example:
a. The patient is admitted to an acquisition device A with a PID.
This acquisition device is acquiring ECG and NBP data.
b. The same patient (or other patient) is admitted to acquisition
device B with the same PID from step (a). This acquisition device
is acquiring NBP only.
In this scenario, NBP is the overlapping parameter since it is
collected at both acquisition devices. Only the NBP from device A will
be viewable from the CIC Pro until device A is discharged.
3. For overlapping alarm histories, the PDS provides all history
events (up to 500).
Extended patient data stored on the PDS can only be viewed and printed
from a CIC Pro v4 or greater. Refer to the CIC Pro Clinical Information Center Operator’s Manual for additional information. Any degradation of
system performance may result in a delay or inability to retrieve
historical data from the device.

Patient Data Collection Scenarios: Admit/Discharge Scenarios
Admit/Discharge Scenarios
The following scenarios illustrate when data is stored during the normal
admit/discharge sequence for a patient. These diagrams are intended to
depict what data can be viewed after all actions have been executed in a
specific scenario.
General Guidelines
Proper admit/discharge procedures should be followed each time a
new patient is connected to an acquisition device.
A PID can be entered at any time between admit and discharge (or
the acquisition device going off-line) for the record to be stored.
Once a PID is entered, PDS will store all data from the time of admit
(or acquisition device coming on-line) to the time of discharge (or the
acquisition device going off-line).
Until a PID is entered at the patient monitor, the PDS will only
provide the patient data from that currently admitted patient
monitor. Once a PID is entered, PDS will provide all patient data that
has been collected for that patient.
If a PID is not entered before discharge/off-line then no data, from the
monitoring session, will be viewable from the CIC Pro once the
monitor comes on-line or the patient is re-admitted.
A PID can be entered while off-line. Off-line data will not be recorded;
however, the PDS will begin collecting from the time the acquisition
device is on-line.
Once the PDS establishes a data record for a PID, the data record can
only be viewed from a CIC Pro that has a patient admitted with that
same PID. (e.g. ER data collected for PID-1 can be viewed in the ICU
when PID-1 is admitted on the CIC Pro in the ICU.)
The PDS will store up to 72 hours of trends (Graphical and Tabular).
The PDS will store up to 500 alarm histories (400 arrhythmia events
and 100 ST histories).

from one location to another location on the same acquisition device.
General Guidelines
The PDS does not record data while an acquisition device is off-line
during a transport.
DASH Rover mode (ability to change bed name without discharging
the bed) does not impact how data is recorded by the PDS.
PDS does not affect the acquisition device's ability to store patient
data (on-line/off-line) via existing storage capabilities (TRAM
modules, internal memory, etc.).

both devices are admitted with the same PID: periodic parameters
from device B (since device A is in leads fail), episodic parameters
that continue to be acquired by device A (if any) and all alarm
histories from device A (if any) and B will be viewable
8Acquisition device A is discharged.
9All parameters collected by the PDS from acquisition device B are
now viewable at the CIC Pro. The PDS begins collecting all
parameter data from acquisition device B.
10The PDS stops collecting data once the acquisition device B is
discharged.

Patient Data Collection Scenarios: Combination Mode Scenarios
Combination Mode Scenarios
The following scenarios illustrate when data is acquired via telemetry
systems but displayed on a networked bedside monitor utilizing
Combination monitoring feature of the bedside monitor.
General Guidelines
The PDS does not record data while an acquisition device is off-line.
In Combo Mode, if the monitor and transmitter have different PIDS,
any parameters collected from the transmitter will be recorded under
the monitor's PID during combo mode. If the monitor is then
discharged, the transmitter will return to the PID that it was
admitted under.
In Combo Mode, if the monitor does not have a PID and a PID is not
entered prior to discharge/off-line then all data will be discarded.

Patient Data Collection Scenarios: Third-Party Acquisition Device Scenarios
Third-Party Acquisition Device Scenarios
The following scenarios illustrate when data is stored, and which
acquisition device data is stored from, when third-party acquisition
devices are connected to the Unity Network via the Unity Network ID,
Octacomm and Octanet devices. In general, the PDS does not record data
while an acquisition device is off-line.
General Guidelines
Third-party acquisition devices connected to an Octanet, via a Solar
8000M are viewed as a single acquisition device.
Third-party acquisition devices connected to an Octacomm, are
viewed as a separate acquisition device.
Association Mode is only supported by Unity Network ID and Dash
monitors, please refer to the Unity Network ID operators guide for
further information.
If a Unity Network ID device is not connected via Association Mode
on the Dash monitor (or the M-Port on the Solar monitor) it is viewed
by PDS as a separate device.
If the monitor and Unity Network ID were admitted with different
PIDs, then there will be two records until the Unity Network ID is
connected to the monitor via Association Mode or the M-Port.
Once the Unity Network ID is connected to the monitor via
Association Mode, any parameters collected from the Unity Network
ID will be stored under the monitor's PID. If the monitor is then
discharged, the Unity Network ID will need to be admitted with a
PID again for PDS to collect the data.
If a PID is never entered for the monitor prior to discharge/off-line
then PDS will not store the data collected.
If the Unity Network ID had a PID entered prior to Association
Mode, that data will be stored but no data will be collected after
association mode until the Unity Network ID is readmitted with a
PID.

Patient Data Collection Scenarios: Data Storage and Post Discharge Viewing Scenarios
Data Storage and Post Discharge Viewing Scenarios
The following scenarios illustrate how much data is stored during the
normal admit/discharge sequence for a patient.
General Guidelines
If a patient is re-admitted within 72 hours their data will be
combined with the existing records. Any data older than 72 hours
will have been deleted.
After 72 hours of no new data for a PID, the PDS will not have any
data stored for that PID.
