Security Information
Protecting Personal Information
Protecting personal health information is a primary component of a security strategy. Each facility
using the monitors must provide the protective means necessary to safeguard personal information
consistent with country laws and regulations, and consistent with the facility’s policies for managing
this information. Protection can only be realized if you implement a comprehensive, multi-layered
strategy (including policies, processes, and technologies) to protect information and systems from
external and internal threats.
13
1 Basic Operation
As per its intended use, the patient monitor operates in the patient vicinity and contains personal and
sensitive patient data. It also includes controls to allow you to adapt the monitor to the patient's care
model.
To ensure the patient's safety and protect their personal health information you need a security
concept that includes:
•Physical security access measures - access to the monitor must be limited to authorized users.
•Operational security measures - for example, ensuring that patients are discharged after
•Procedural security measures - for example, assigning only staff with a specific role the right to
In addition, any security concept must consider the requirements of local country laws and regulations.
Always consider data security aspects of the network topology and configuration when connecting
patient monitors to shared networks. Your medical facility is responsible for the security of the
network, where sensitive patient data from the monitor may be transferred.
When a monitor is returned for repair, disposed of, or removed from your medical facility for other
reasons, always ensure that all patient data is removed from the monitor by ending monitoring for the
last patient (see “Ending Monitoring for a Patient” on page 89).
It is essential that you consider physical security measures to ensure that unauthorized users
cannot gain access.
monitoring in order to remove their data from the monitor.
use the monitors.
NOTE
Log files generated by the monitors and measurement modules are used for system troubleshooting
and do not contain protected health data.
About HIPAA Rules
If applicable, your facility’s security strategy should include the standards set forth in the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), introduced by the United States
Department of Health and Human Services. You should consider both the security and the privacy
rules and the HITECH Act when designing policies and procedures. For more information, please
visit:
http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/.
About the EU Directives
If applicable, your facility’s security strategy should include the practices set forth in the Directive on
the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement
of such data (Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of
24 October 1995). In addition, your facility should also take into account any additional, more
stringent standards put forward by any individual EU countries; that is, Germany, France, and so on.

Extending Measurements
Your monitor is compatible with Philips measurement extensions for use with other IntelliVue patient
monitoring devices. These allow you to add specific measurements to those already integrated into
your monitor. These measurement extensions are referred to as MMS extensions. During patient
transport, the monitor with the connected MMS extension can be powered by the Battery Extension
(see “Using the Battery Extension” on page 20).
17
1 Basic Operation
MMS Extension M3014A attached to the MP2
The MMS extensions connect to the monitor and use the monitor's settings. Trend data and
measurement settings from the measurements in the extensions are stored in the monitor.
WARNING
•Measurements from an MMS extension are only available when the extension is connected to the
monitor, and the monitor is running on external power. This is the case when the monitor is
running on AC mains via the external power supply (M8023A) or is attached to the Battery
Extension (865297). Measurements from an MMS extension connected to the monitor are not
available when the monitor is running on its own battery power.
•Any measurements on an MMS extension that conflict with those in the monitor cannot be used.
For example, only one CO
measurement is supported.

Using the Battery Extension
To provide enough power for the use of an MMS Extension during transport, you can use the Battery
Extension (865297). The Battery Extension provides additional battery power for situations when no
mains power is available and can typically power the monitor with MMS Extension for at least 6 hours.
When running from the Battery Extension with no mains supply available, the monitor will not charge
its internal battery.
Connecting the Battery Extension
To connect to the Battery Extension, place the
monitor with MMS Extension onto the Battery
Extension, and then slide it across so that the
connection is made and it is firmly seated.

1 Basic Operation
Your monitor has four operating modes. Some are passcode protected.
•Monitoring Mode: This is the normal, every day working mode that you use for monitoring
•Demonstration Mode: Passcode protected, this is for demonstration purposes only. You must
•Configuration Mode: Passcode protected, this mode is for personnel trained in configuration
• Service Mode: Passcode protected, this is for trained service personnel.
When the monitor is in Demonstration Mode, Configuration Mode, or Service Mode, this is indicated
by a box with the mode name in the center of the Screen and a symbol in the bottom right-hand
corner. Select the mode box in the center of the screen to change to a different mode.
patients. You can change elements such as alarm limits, patient category and so forth. When you
discharge the patient, these elements return to their default values. Changes can be stored
permanently only in Configuration Mode. You may see items, such as some menu options or the
altitude setting, that are visible but ‘grayed out’ so that you can neither select nor change them.
These are for your information and can be changed only in Configuration Mode.
not change into Demonstration Mode during monitoring. In Demonstration Mode, all stored
trend information is deleted from the monitor’s memory.
tasks. These tasks are described in the Configuration Guide. During installation the monitor is
configured for use in your environment. This configuration defines the default settings you work
with when you switch on, the number of waves you see and so forth.
Standby Mode
Standby mode can be used when you want to temporarily interrupt monitoring.
To enter Standby mode,
1Press the SmartKeys key .
2Either select the Monitor Standby SmartKey
Or select the
The Standby screen is a neutral screen with information about the monitor and instructions on how to
leave Standby mode.
The monitor enters Standby mode automatically after the End Case function is used to discharge a
patient. Standby suspends patient monitoring. All waves and numerics disappear from the display but
all settings and patient data information are retained. The Standby screen is displayed.
If a temporary patient location has been entered at the monitor or at the Information Center, this
location will also be displayed on the Standby screen.
To resume monitoring,
•Select anything on the screen or press any key.
When monitoring is resumed, alarms are paused for 1 minute to allow time to finish plugging in the

Understanding Screens
Your monitor comes with a set of pre-configured Screens, optimized for common monitoring
scenarios such as "OR adult", or "ICU neonatal". A Screen defines the overall selection, size and
position of waves, numerics and other elements on the monitor screen when you switch on. You can
easily switch between different Screens during monitoring. Screens do NOT affect alarm settings,
patient category and so forth.
Switching to a Different Screen
To switch to a different Screen:
1After closing any open menus or windows, press the Main Screen key to access the Change Screen
menu.
2Choose the new Screen from the Change Screen menu.
Changing a Screen’s Content
If you do not want to change the entire Screen content, but only some parts of it, you can substitute
individual waves, numerics, or trends. Be aware that these changes cannot be stored permanently in
Monitoring Mode.
1 Basic Operation
To change the selection of elements on a Screen,
1Select the element you want to change. For example, touch the wave to enter the wave setup menu,
or touch the numeric to enter the numeric setup menu.
2From the menu that appears, select Change Wave or Change Numeric, and then select the wave or
numeric you want.
In the
Change Screen menu, the changed Screen is shown linked to the original Screen and marked with
an asterisk.
Up to three modified Screens can be accessed via the

If the monitor is switched off and then on again, modified Screens are erased from the monitor’s
memory and cannot be recalled. If a modified Screen was the last active Screen when the monitor was
switched off, it is retained unless the monitor is configured to revert to the default.

Using the XDS Remote Display
Using the IntelliVue XDS Solution it is possible to view an independent monitor screen on an external
display. The XDS Solution consists of a medical grade PC-based hardware platform, XDS Application
software and the XDS connectivity option on the monitor. Depending on the configuration you can
also operate the monitor from the external display. The XDS must be connected to the same Local
Area Network (LAN) as the monitor.
Change Screen menu.
It is also possible to use an existing PC, connected to the same LAN, to host the XDS Application
software.
For more details, including limitations and restrictions, refer to the IntelliVue XDS Application
Instructions for Use.

1 Basic Operation
Using the Visitor Screen
If a visitor Screen is configured for your monitor, you can use it to clear the screen of all waves and
numerics but continue to monitor the patient with active alarms and trend storage at the bedside and
Information Center. When the visitor Screen is selected, no automatic pop-up windows will be
displayed. You can change the name of the visitor Screen in Configuration Mode.
To activate this Screen,
1Press the Main Screen key to open the Change Screen menu.
2Select the name of the visitor Screen configured for your monitor from the list of available
Screens.
To select a Screen with waves and numerics again,
•Touch the gray box in the center of the screen showing the visitor Screen's name, or press the
Main Screen key, to open the
Change Screen menu and then select a Screen from the list.
Understanding Profiles
Profiles are predefined monitor configurations. They let you change the configuration of the whole
monitor so you can adapt it to different monitoring situations. The changes that occur when you
change a complete profile are more far reaching than those made when you change a Screen. Screens
affect only what is shown on the display. Profiles affect all monitor and measurement settings.
The settings that are defined by Profiles are grouped into three categories. Each category offers a
choice of 'settings blocks' customized for specific monitoring situations. These categories are:
•Display (screens)
Each profile can have a choice of many different predefined screens.
When you change the profile, the screen selection configured for the new profile becomes active.
•Measurement Settings
Each profile can have a choice of different predefined measurement settings. These relate directly
to individual measurements, for example, measurement on/off, measurement color, alarms limits,
NBP alarm source, NBP repeat time, temperature unit (°F or °C), pressure unit (mmHg or kPa).
•Monitor Settings
Each profile can have a choice of different predefined monitor settings. These relate to the
monitor as a whole; for example, display brightness, alarms off/paused, alarm volume, QRS tone
volume, tone modulation, prompt tone volume, wave speed, resp wave speed, pulse source.
You can change from one complete profile to another or swap individual settings blocks (display/
monitor settings/measurement settings) to change a subset of a profile. Changes you make to any
element within the settings blocks are not saved when you discharge the patient, unless you save them
in Configuration Mode.
Depending on your monitor configuration, when you switch on or discharge a patient the monitor
either continues with the previous profile, or resets to the default profile configured for that monitor.
WARNING
30
•If you switch to a different profile, the patient category and paced status normally change to the
setting specified in the new profile. However some profiles may be set up to leave the patient
category and paced status unchanged. Always check the patient category, paced status, and all
alarms and settings, when you change profiles.
