5. Data File Transfer
One of the main functions of the ECG Expert Data Management Software is
the archiving of data recorded by a source device.
In the Paramedic and NF series of AEDs, the data recorded during a rescue
operation are overwritten whenever a new rescue operation is performed. In
order to keep the rescue data records, these have to be transferred to a PC
before a new rescue operation is performed.
In the CU-PH2 devices, the data recorded have to be transferred when the
data size exceeds the capacity (600 minutes of ECG data).
IrDA Com Port Serial Adapter Driver
No IrDA Com Port Serial Adapter software driver is necessary for the transfer
of data using the IrDA port.
If your personal computer has been installed with the driver, the CU Expert
will not work. The IrDA Com Port Serial Adapter software driver will have to be
disabled.
To disable the IrDA Com Port Serial Adapter software driver, do the following:
1. Right click on the My Computer icon on your PC desktop.
2. Left click on the Properties option of the context menu that pops up.
3. The System Properties Dialog Box will pop up.
4. Left Click on the Hardware Tab then left click on the Device Manager
Button.
5. The Device Manager pops up. Left click on the + sign beside Infrared
Devices. Right click on the ACTISYS IR-220L icon. Disable the device
through the context menu that pops up. This is shown in the figure below

Voice Playback
The voice data stored in the SmartMedia Card and transferred to the PC
can be played synchronously with its corresponding ECG record.
When the ECG and voice records are downloaded, they are stored as
different files in the PC. The ECG file has a .cur extension while the voice
file has a .wav extension.
During downloading to the PC, the two files are stored with the same
filename except for the extensions. When the ECG record file name is
changed by entering the patient name the file name of the voice record
is also changed automatically to match the name of the ECG record.
Do not manually change the name of the voice file to avoid a mismatch
with its corresponding ECG record. When there is a mismatch, the voice
record will not play together with the ECG record.
The voice playback can be activated or deactivated during ECG review.
To set the voice playback option, click on the voice file icon in the toolbar.

Patient Information/Name
When all the information in the ECG file is printed, the following
information is printed on the printout without patient data.
a. Patient ID
b. Height
c. Weight
These data are not filled up using the CU Expert. They are meant to be
filled up manually.
When two or more ECG data files have the same patient name entered,
the other files will be named
FirstnameLastname(N).cur
Where N = {1,2,3,…}
For example, if there are three files for David Smith, these will be
named:
DavidSmith.cur, DavidSmith(1).cur, DavidSmith(2).cur.
If a fourth file with patient name David Smith is saved, it will be saved as
DavidSmith(3).cur. If DavidSmith(1).cur is deleted before the fourth file
is saved, the fourth file will be named DavidSmith(1).cur when it is
saved. To designate multiple files with the same names with the number
N, the software will scan the designation N of the filenames and get the
lowest vacant number starting from 1.

following format by default
X_Y_Z.cur
Where
X = device serial number
Y = Rescue operation date
Z = Rescue operation start time
e.g. A1B22B096US_Jan2504_041600.cur
time format is 24hr format;
1st 2 digits = hours
2nd 2 digits = minutes
3rd 2 digits = seconds
When the patient information is entered and saved, the
filename of the ECG data file is automatically changed to
the following format:
AB.cur
Where
A = first name of the patient
B = last name of the patient

File Conversion
All the mouse clicks in this User’s Manual refer to clicking
the left button of the mouse.
During data transfer:
Do not plug in or pull out the Paramedic CU-ER1, CU-ER2,
CU-ER3 or CU-ER5 AC adapter into or from its port,
respectively. The transients during the change in power
may interfere with the data transfer.
Use only the UART cable provided by CU Medical Systems,
Inc. Data transmission is not possible when using UART
cables other than the ones from CU Medical Systems, Inc.
Using other UART cables will damage the source
device.
When a file that is received from a source device is opened
for the first time using the CU Expert, a file conversion will
take place. This is done to convert the file from the storage
format used by the source device to the format used by CU
Expert. The file conversion progress will be shown in the
status bar of the CU Expert window through a text
message (“Converting File”) and a progress bar.
