Surveyor Central and Surveyor Central Repeater are medical devices labelled, according to
European directive 93/42/EEC (MDD), as a class IIb and class I medical devices respectively. Telemetry
versions contain the radio receiver device “PCI-RF” produced by Mortara Instrument and marked
according to European directive 99/5 R&TTE. Telemetry transmitters and antenna network components
are produced by Mortara Instrument, and marked
accessories, like the monitor and printer are
per the MDD directive. Various other
marked by the respective manufacturers according to
the applicable European directives. See respective declarations of conformity for details.
Surveyor Central cannot be classified as Medical Electrical Equipment according to the definition of
safety standard IEC 60601-1. The Surveyor Central, together with all accessories that have a physical or
logical connection with it, forms part of a Medical Electrical System. The Surveyor Central complies with
various safety and performance regulations as defined in the user manual.
The device is UL classified:
WITH RESPECT TO ELECTRIC SHOCK,
FIRE AND MECHANICAL HAZARDS ONLY IN ACCORDANCE
WITH UL2601-1, IEC60601-1, CAN/CSA CC22.2 No. 601.1,
AND
IEC60601-2-25
Warnings
•Before attempting to use the device for clinical applications, the operator must read and understand
the contents of the user manual and any documents accompanying the device.
•The Surveyor Central was not designed to be used in the patient environment as defined in IEC
60601-1-1 (1.5 m from the patient’s bed and 2.5 m from the floor). The use of an isolation
transformer between mains and Surveyor Central is not a sufficient safety measure for use in the
patient environment because of data connections (antenna network, data network) that might cause
excessive leakage currents in some conditions. Any other equipment that has a physical connection
between Surveyor Central, and that is in the patient environment, must have additional protection
against electrical shock (e.g., a separation device between the equipment and Surveyor Central). In
addition, it must be in compliance with UL 2601-1, IEC 60601-1 or equivalent safety standards.
•The Surveyor Central is not battery operated. For uninterrupted use, we recommend an appropriate
uninterruptible power supply (UPS); note that, for uninterrupted use, the antenna network (telemetry)
as well as any active network components (connection with laser printer and monitors) also need to
be powered from the UPS. If power is interrupted, Surveyor Central will resume monitoring
automatically with the same settings when power returns. Loss of stored data is possible if power is
interrupted to the system that stores the data.
•In order to be safely used, all accessories (such as monitors, printers, data network, etc.) must be
compatible, and comply with all safety and EMC regulations that apply to them according to their
intended use; for use in Europe, these accessories should be CE marked.
•The various parts of a Surveyor Central monitoring system (Telemetry receiver computers, control
and display computers, storage computers, printers, or bedside monitors) are all connected through a
specific Ethernet data network. This network must be installed according to all applicable standards
and may only be logically or physically connected to the outside world through a specific routing
device available from Mortara Instrument. Any other data path can lead to serious security risks and
interruptions of monitoring. Any other devices must not be connected to the Surveyor data network.
•The Surveyor Central, as all medical equipment or systems, needs special precautions regarding
EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in the
installation procedure in order to obtain a sufficient degree of immunity as well as not to create
disturbance to other equipment. Refer to the specific EMC instructions in this manual.
•Cleaning must be performed with the device turned off. Let all parts dry well before turning the power
back on.
•Install all computer equipment with adequate space around ventilation vents. Clean and remove
accumulated dust on ventilation openings, and also remove dust regularly from the inside of the
device. The last operation must be performed by adequately trained and authorized personnel, and
with the device turned off.
•Install the computer that generates the alarm sounds in such a way that the sound can be heard
adequately in the appropriate areas. The speaker is installed on the front panel of the computer.
•The hardware watchdog device is connected to the computer with a USB cable and has its own
power supply. Mount it in such a way that the sound can be heard adequately in the appropriate
areas. Test regularly by temporarily removing the USB plug while the central station power is turned
on.
•The Surveyor Central must be connected to a properly grounded power terminal, and the electrical
installation must comply with the local safety requirements for the environment where it is used.
•The Surveyor Central requires more than one mains outlet. Fix multi-socket outlets properly, do not
leave them on the floor, and organize the cabling in such a way that normal work is not hampered
and safety is not compromised.
•Regularly check all mains power cables for damage and proper connection. Do not use equipment
with a damaged power cord.
• Prevent liquids from penetrating inside the equipment, components, and transmitters.
• The various manufacturers of accessories provide separate operator manuals (e.g., monitor, laser
printer, X12+, T12, T12S, patient cables, electrodes). Read these manuals well and refer to them for
specific functions. It is recommended to keep all manuals together.
•Every hardware or software modification has to be made by authorized and trained technical
personnel.
•Technical and service documents are available upon request.
• Always turn the system off before connecting or disconnecting any cables.
• Do not use the equipment in places that are susceptible to explosion hazard or in the presence of
flammable gases.
•Do not use the equipment in the presence of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment and
tomography equipment.
•Do not insert a bootable floppy disk or CD-ROM. Do not run any program from CD-ROM or USB
memory sticks. These I/O devices should only be used for export and import of patient ID formats,
profiles and protocols.
•Surveyor Central computers contain a small lithium battery for maintaining clock and BIOS settings
which should normally last the lifetime of the device. If the battery needs to be replaced, be sure that
it is done by qualified personnel and with a battery of the same type.
•Surveyor Central software has been extensively tested and clinically validated. Several protection
mechanisms against software errors have been built into the Surveyor Central; however, in the
unlikely event of a failure of the software or the computer processor, the electronic (hardware)
“watchdog” of the Surveyor Central sounds a continuous loud beep and the Central station has to be
power-cycled to remove this. Please inform Mortara service personnel for further troubleshooting
should this continuous loud beeping occur.
•Surveyor Central hardware has been carefully selected for reliability; however, in mission critical
situations, it might be advisable to have a backup system available at short notice. This also includes
accessories such as patient transmitters which, by nature and way of use, can be more prone to
failure.
•Installation and connection to data and antenna networks must be performed by properly trained
personnel, authorized by Mortara Instrument, Inc.
•To maintain designed operator and patient safety, use only parts and accessories supplied with the
device and available through Mortara Instrument, Inc.
•The device captures and presents data reflecting a patient’s physiological condition that when
reviewed by a trained physician or clinician can be useful in determining a diagnosis. However, the
data should not be used as a sole means for determining a patient’s diagnosis. The device is
optionally equipped with Mortara’s VERITAS™ 12-lead resting ECG interpretation algorithm. When
this option is enabled, the VERITAS ECG algorithm can provide an over-reading physician with a
silent second opinion through diagnostic statements output on the ECG report. For additional
information on the Mortara VERITAS 12-Lead resting ECG interpretation algorithm, please refer to
the Physician’s Guide to ECG Interpretation.
•12-lead ECGs acquired through Surveyor Central or attached monitors will normally use a modified
lead system with the limb electrodes positioned on the torso. Although this is a generally accepted
practice (e.g., in stress testing), the different electrode positions can cause morphology changes on
the ECG, thus influencing their interpretation. Most frequently seen differences are a vertical and
rightward axis shift, minor changes of evidence of old inferior infarction and changes in the T-wave in
the limb leads. All 12-lead ECGs printed with Surveyor Central have a warning message that alerts
the physician that the ECG might have been acquired with torso positioned limb leads. It is
recommended that you place the electrodes as close as possible to the normal limb positions
avoiding the possibility of causing artifact. The right arm and left arm electrodes should be placed on
the clavicles as close as possible to the arms. The left leg electrode should be placed as close as
possible to the left leg without subjecting it to the possibility of motion artifact.
•During periods of lead fail and when a reduced lead set is used for patient monitoring, 12-lead resting
ECG interpretation cannot be reliably used in determining a diagnosis.
•The quality of the signal produced by the system may be adversely affected by the use of other
medical equipment connected to the patient including, but not limited to, defibrillators and ultrasound
machines.
•If the device or one of its subsystems become inoperable during monitoring, a medium or low priority
type alarm sounds and a message is displayed on the screen. In case of hardware or software
failure that causes the sound generator or display subsystem to fail, the hardware watchdog unit
generates a continuous beep. Periodic checks of the monitoring screen are recommended to ensure
proper functioning.
•The monitor supplied with the Surveyor Central has a separate power switch and power on indicator.
If no image appears on the screen, check the monitor power indicator (normally illuminated in green).
Alarm sounds are not affected by the status of the monitor.
•The on/off switch of the Surveyor Central is deactivated and can only be used for emergency power
down by depressing it for a period greater than 4 seconds. Normal shutdown of the Surveyor Central
should be done by using the password-protected configuration window.
• Do not use excessive force on any of the connection cables and handle all accessories with care.
• Various alarm conditions require operator set limits that vary per patient. Surveyor Central supports
the selection of appropriate alarm profiles when a patient is admitted. The operator should check
these settings after each patient admission to ensure whether the chosen alarm limits are appropriate
for the individual patient. Inappropriate alarm limits render the alarm system useless.
•Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment or
systems as well as the Surveyor Central and its accessories.
•Surveyor Central alarms can only be silenced and not reset. This means that visual representation of
an alarm condition remains present after an operator silenced action until the alarm condition
disappears (unless obscured by another, higher priority, alarm). The auditory alarm signal does not
re-activate after a silence action if the alarm condition remains the same. As soon as the alarm
condition of a silenced alarm goes away, the alarm can be reactivated.
•The Surveyor Central alarm system can be globally disabled or paused for a period of time by a
single patient only. The selection between disabling and pausing, as well as the pause duration, can
be set in the password-protected system configuration page. A clear visual indication of this
condition is present in the patient window, and a reminder signal sounds every three minutes. Any
technical alarms will be visually presented on the screen, regardless of the alarm disabled state. In
this configuration the technical alarms will not be audible.
•The intended use of Surveyor Central Repeater is to repeat waveforms, parameters and system
status of selected patients monitored by Surveyor Central, in order to enhance workflow for medical
personnel. Surveyor Central Repeater does not produce audible alarm signals and may not be used
to substitute any alarm functions of Surveyor Central.
The following warnings concern telemetry monitoring:
•The X12+, T12, and T12S transmitter applies a small DC current for active noise suppression in
normal use, and an 8 or 16 Hz waveform during impedance check mode. Currents applied are below
the thresholds specified in ANSI/AAMI ES1 “Safe current limits for electromedical apparatus.”
•The minimum amplitude for detecting QRS complexes is user selectable between 300 and 500 µV. A
low value of this limit has the risk of detecting P waves as QRS complexes in the case of atrioventricular block. However, a high value might lead to false cardiac arrest alarms if the QRS
amplitude is low in both detection leads. Therefore, the user is encouraged to select detection leads
with an amplitude of at least 1 mV and set the minimum QRS amplitude at 500 µV.
• Electrostatic discharges may generate short interference on the ECG tracings.
• 2.4 GHz Telemetry: Transmitters with frequencies between 2400.96 and 2482.56 MHz may generate
interference. In case of interference, please try with a different transmission channel (refer to the
X12+, T12, or T12S transmitter user manual section that explains how to select transmission
channels). Examples of these types of transmitters: leaking microwave ovens, radio therapy
equipment, wireless LAN. Additionally, transmitters in frequency ranges close to 2.4 GHz and with
high output power can disturb telemetry reception. Spectrum analyzer equipment is available from
Mortara or other sources for troubleshooting interference.
•600 MHz Telemetry: Transmitters with frequencies between 608 and 632 MHz may generate
interference. In case of interference, try with a different transmission channel (refer to the X12+, T12,
or T12S transmitter user manual section that explains how to select transmission channels).
Examples of these types of transmitters: television transmitters, other telemetry devices. Also
transmitters in frequency ranges close to 600 MHz and with very high output power can disturb
telemetry reception. Spectrum analyzer equipment is available from Mortara or other sources for
trouble shooting interference.
•915 MHz Telemetry: Transmitters with frequencies between 904.76 MHz and 925.15 MHz may
generate interference. In case of interference, please try with a different transmission channel (refer
to the X12+, T12, or T12S transmitter user manual section that explains how to select transmission
channels). Examples of these types of transmitters: leaking microwave ovens, radio therapy
equipment, wireless LAN. Additionally, transmitters in frequency ranges close to 915 MHz and with
high output power can disturb telemetry reception. Spectrum analyzer equipment is available from
Mortara or other sources for troubleshooting interference.
• The system was not designed to be used with high frequency (HF) surgical devices.
• Electrodes used with this system must apply to IEC 60601-2-25, article 51.102 or ANSI/AAMI EC12,

System / Network Verification
Node to node connectivity check:
From a Surveyor Central control node, communicate to the other nodes of the networked system by
opening a command prompt and pinging each node’s IP Address per the system network diagram.
Select the Configuration Menu and enter a password to proceed. Click on the “Volumes” button and then
select “Sound Level”. Note what the sound level is set to, so it can be returned to this setting after the
volume testing is completed. Select the different volume options and click on the “Confirm” button to test the
audible level of the alarm. Once the levels have been tested, return the level to its original setting.
Alarm Trigger Testing
Admit a patient on the control system for the appropriate channel that you have configured your test
transmitter. Verify the “ECG Leads Off” alarm is set to ON for the admitted patient by selecting Alarm
Settings, then Technical Alarms. If the setting is set to OFF, temporarily change the setting to ON to
perform this test. Disconnect a lead from the patient simulator and verify that an alarm begins to sound at
the appropriate sound level set in the previous step (be sure to reset the alarm control settings to where
they were prior to performing this test).
UPS Test / Battery Replacement
Be sure patient monitoring is not in progress. Remove the mains plug from the UPS; the Central Station
must continue to function for 5 minutes without losing power. If the system can not be powered by the UPS
for a period of 5 minutes, the UPS may require repair or internal battery replacement.
Mortara recommends replacing the internal batteries on the UPS units provided by Mortara when the RED
“Battery End of Life” indicator is illuminated or every 3 years.

System Cleaning
Equipment needed: Vacuum cleaner or compressed air
Open system PCs and remove accumulated dust and debris. Take particular care around cooling fans and
inside media access slots. Clean the area the PC(s) and peripheral equipment reside in, to prevent dust
and debris accumulation from occurring.
Inspection of PC cooling fans
Inspect CPU fan, and power supply fan. If they are running too slowly or are making any unusual noises
during operation, they should be replaced. For improperly operating PC power supply fans, Mortara
recommends replacing the entire power supply unit.
Maximizing the Airflow
Keep the system server/s and the workstation/s in an area where the airflow to th e front and rear of the
system is not obstructed.
• If possible, keep the unit off of surfaces where dust can gather.
• Keep the back of the unit at least 6 inches away from a wall or other obstruction.
• Keep the front of the unit clear of any obstruction that keeps air from entering the front of the
system.
• Remove any dust on the front panel (vent area) and the rear fans with a small vacuum,
Equipment needed: Ladder, flashlight and digital multi-meter.
• Verify all connections of coax cables are secure.
• Verify both lights are illuminated on each antenna network unit. If either light is out it could be caused
by either a faulty antenna network box (which would need to be replaced), or a disconnected coax
cable between this antenna network box and the next unit in the chain.
•If both lights are out it could be caused by a faulty antenna network power supply(s). Refer to the
section “Power Supply Testing and Verification” below for troubleshooting.
•Verify the lights are illuminated on either the LNA 611/915 or the 2500MHZ Down Converter (depen ding
on the system configuration). In the case of the Down Converter the light will indicate the selected band
which the Telemetry Central 3.X is set to receive. If these lights are not illuminated it could be caused
by a faulty power supply or faulty unit which would need to be replaced.
Antenna Network Power Supply Testing and Verification
WARNING
This process must be followed or damage to the antenna network may result. This process requires the measuring of
DC voltage and requires the use of voltmeter, proper care must be used when working around electricity or personal
injury may result. If you are not familiar with the use of a voltmeter do not proceed with the test, find a qualified
person to perform the test.
•To test the proper operation of any of the antenna network power supplies, obtain a spare
identical power supply and temporarily plug it into one of the antenna networks which currently
does not have a power supply attached, and the wall.
•Remove the antenna network power supply connector of the power supply to be tested from
the antenna network.
• Using a voltmeter measure output of the power supply, the voltmeter should read 12 volts DC.
• If 12 volt DC power is not present the power supply must be replaced.
• After successful testing, re-connect the power supply to the antenna network.
• Continue this process for all power supplies in the antenna network. When completed testing
all of the power supplies, remove the spare power supply from the antenna network.

Signal Strength Verification
Antenna Network Verification (covered area)
Equipment needed: ECG Simulator, X-12+/T12x Transmitter, and map of covered area.
• Turn on ECG simulator with transmitter and simulator connected.
• Set channel on one monitoring slot of Surveyor Telemetry Central System to match the selected
transmitter channel and start monitoring.
•Refer to the original “covered area” map to determine which areas of the facility should display
acceptable levels of signal strength.
•Document specific locations on the covered area map by location number (1 thru X) and locate the
transmitter at these locations while monitoring the signal strength on the Surveyor Central system,
•Ensure there are no problems with low signal strength readings, or intermittent signal drop out for
the locations defined on the covered area map. Signal strength readings should measure >-80db
throughout the entire covered area.
•Document the signal strength readings for Antenna A and B on the PM report.
System Receiver Module Verification
After verifying one of the receiver modules meets specifications during the previous “Signal Strength
Verification” testing, the test transmitter should be mapped to each of the separate receiver modules
installed in the system hardware.
Each receiver module should be checked for proper operation, making sure that the signal strength level
measures >-80db and the ECG waveforms do not show signs of distortion or drop out with the transmitter
placed at location #1 from the previous test.
System Transmitter Verification
Turn on the ECG simulator and connect it to one transmitter at a time from location #1 defined in the
previous tests. Start a monitoring session on the monitoring slot that matches the channel of the transmitter
being tested and verify the ECG quality is clean with out dropout and has a signal strength >-80db.
Repeat this test for all system transmitters.

3. Control Station displays “Storage Disabled”:
Possible solutions:
• Verify that Storage Node is on
• If Storage node is on, check the processes running on storage node and make sure Storeman.exe is still
running. If not, restart the process by right clicking on the Guardian screen and select Start application
and then double click on Storeman
• If “Storage Disabled” is only displaying on certain monitoring slots and the data can be reviewed, this is
a false message. The data is properly storing and only displaying the message because the sending
process is not being properly acknowledged..
• Possible faulty connection of view station to Storage Node. Check connections to all computers, and
switches. Network cable to storage server should go to the standard network port, and not the port
labeled iLO
After checking all of the above and the Storage function is still not working properly:
Contact Mortara Instrument service department for assistance.
4. Watchdog Alarms:
• “Odd” sound heard every few minutes:
Possible solutions:
• Unit has the alarms disabled
Note: When alarms are disabled no alarms will sound, this includes the arrest
alarm, be careful when choosing to disable alarms. The customer assumes all
risks for turning off alarms.
•Rapid beeping tone emitted from system:
Possible solutions:
1. Verify that there is power to the watchdog unit located on the side of the control station
2. Check to make sure that all Guardian processes are running and has a green indication light next
to it. If it has a red or orange indication dot by it, close and then restart that process
•Rapid beeping tone emitted from system along with high pitched tone:
Possible solution:
1. Check the USB cable connection between the watchdog and the control station.
5. Can not assign patient, review patient, perform resting interpretation:
Possible solution:
•Verify all Guardian processes are running and has the green indication light, if there is a red light by one
of the processes, restart that process
• Possible problem with Time synchronization, refer to section below
• Incorrect IP address prevents these processes from running, contact Mortara Instrument service
6. No waveforms displayed, problems with printing, storage, and review:
Possible solution:
• Possible problem with the time synchronization.
• Try to close and then restart Timeman.exe. To close Timeman.exe, access the Task Manager by
pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete. Next, expand the Guardian application and right click on Timeman process.
Then select “Close Process” and right click again and select “Start Application” and double click on
Timeman. This will restart the Timeman application and resynchronize the time service.
7. Analysis, Full Disclosure, and Clinical Options not working:
Possible solution:
• Verify system has this feature enabled by Mortara
• Possibly the hash key has been changed. If this is changed all options are disabled, contact Mortara
Instrument service department for assistance.
8. Forgotten Password:
Possible solutions:
•Try typing ‘mortara’ (all lower case) as password, if this does not work, contact Mortara Instrument
service department for assistance, to reset password.
9. No Telemetry signal present, symptom related to only 1 patient window:
•Square waves on display for 1 patient only.
Possible solutions:
1. Make sure transmitter is turned on and tuned to the correct channel number.
2. Check received signal strength on this channel. If received strength is approx –120 dB verify
monitoring slot and transmitter are set to the same channel. To verify this information click on the
slot you suspect is bad, the channel number will be displayed on the top left corner of the patient
window. The received signal strength selection will be located in Settings then Received Power.
Once it is selected it will be displayed in monitoring slot window.
3. If possible try another known good transmitter tuned to the channel of the window to narrow it
down to what is causing the problem. If the signal shows after the transmitter swap, then it is a
defective transmitter. If the tracings still do not show, then it is more than likely a receiver
module.
4. Check transmitter hookup, leads, electrodes, patient connector of cable. If signal strength is -110
dBm transmitter is out of range of nearest antenna network.
5. After verifying that the above solution did not correct the problem, one of the receiver cans on
the PCIRF board can be the cause of the problem. If this is the case, please contact Mortara
Tech support.
4-3
Page 38
Surveyor Central ____________________________________________________________________________
10. No Telemetry signal present, symptom related to all windows:
Possible solutions:
• Verify signal strength, if strength approx –180 PCIRF card driver not running, restart Telemetry node.
• If signal level is approx –120 dB, problem may be connected to the antenna network. Verify all LED’s are
illuminated on the Antenna Network Units, Down Converter/ LNA(611/915) depending on system
configuration and verify cable connections.
•Be sure Down Converter if a 2500MHz system, is on the same band as the transmitters in use. (See
channel utilization chart for customer). Disconnect the antenna network cables from the input of the Down
Converter, install antennas on the inputs of the Down Converter, if the problem is gone the problem is
related to the antenna network.
•If system is 608/915MHZ, disconnect cables from antenna network on LNA(611/915), install antennas on
the PCIRF board(s), if the problem is gone, the problem is related to the antenna network.
11. Antenna Network:
•Bad Coverage in 1 area:
Possible solutions:
• Possible problem with a specific antenna network unit. Check unit has both LED’s illuminated.
This symptom can be caused by several failures.
• If the area is related to the antenna, which is farthest from the Telemetry node, the problem
could be either the antenna box or a cable leading to the next antenna in the chain.
• If the area is related to an antenna elsewhere in the network, the problem is most likely due to
the antenna network unit which services the area in question.
•Large difference between signal A and signal B one window only:
Possible solution:
• This problem may be related to a faulty receiver on a specific PCIRF board. Contact Mortara
Technical Support for a Replacement board.
•Large difference between signal A and signal B all windows:
Possible solution:
• Check all coax cables to look for a problem related to a BNC connector.
• Try to replace the Down Converter (2500 MHz systems) or LNA-611/915 (600 & 915 MHz
systems).
• Interference:
• Possible causes: Microwave ovens, Bluetooth devices, 2500 MHz wireless routers, cordless
Phones, wireless temperature monitoring system, or radar therapy devices. It is the responsibility
of the facility to narrow down the cause of the interference and isolate it.
On a Microsoft Windows XP® or 2003 Server® systems, run ‘pathping’ (like ping) between the Surveyor
Central 3.x System devises to verify that no packet drop out exists. If a packet loss occurs, there is a
network issue.
•Fast Ethernet Switch Troubleshooting
Possible Solution:
• If there is a problem with the switch, power cycle switch to restore connections
• If the Power LED or indicator is OFF:
1. Ensure the power cord is secure at both ends, and is not damaged.
2. Verify that the outlet has power.
3. Verify the cable is not damaged, pinched or frayed. Replace if this is the case.
4. Try using another power cord that is of an identical type.
• LINK or Activity LED is OFF
• The LINK LED is usually OFF when the device at the other end of the CAT 5 cable is OFF,
disconnected, the CAT 5 cable is faulty, or the CAT 5 connector has oxidized and requires
cleaning. The LINK LED at the switch, is illuminated when there is another device attached via a
CAT 5 cable.
1. Make sure the CAT 5 cable connections are clean and properly connected.
2. Make sure both devices attached to the CAT 5 cable are powered on.
3. The CAT 5 cable is faulty. This may be apparent after checking the cable connections,
or, if the LEDs on the end-node devices are both OFF.
4. The CAT 5 maximum cable length must not exceed 100 meters or 328 feet. If the CAT 5
cable exceeds 328 feet, performance may be diminished.
5. The devices attached to the cable, must be configured identically for 10 Mbps or 100
Mbps.
13. VPN Router setup:
Possible Solution:
•If any of the features below are not working correctly, the router may be the cause. A copy of the VPN
router setup is stored on the storage PC, it is named CustomCyberConfig.sgc.
1. Unable to export to Unipro server.
2. Unable to Archive study data.
3. Unable to store 12 lead ECG’s on the E-Scribe.
4. Time on Central System not in sync with the external time server.
Please contact Mortara Tech Support for assistance.

Conformance Testing
Conformance testing is to be performed by Authorized Mortara Service Representatives to verify the
device is functioning correctly after repair operations have been performed. Testing results should be
documented on the test data record at the end of this section of the manual.
Due to the complexity of the Surveyor Central System, not all sections of the conformance testing
procedure may be required to verify conformance of a particular repair activity. Based upon the repair
performed, the repair technician may deem various sections as “non-applicable” since they were not
related to the functions associated with the repair; in such cases the decision to exclude a section shall
be documented on the test data record provided.
System/Network
Node to node connectivity check:
From a Surveyor Central control node, communicate to the other nodes of the networked system by opening a
command prompt and pinging each node’s IP Address per the system network diagram.
Select the Configuration Menu and enter a password to proceed. Click on the “Volumes” button and then select
“Sound Level”. Note what the sound level is set to, so it can be returned to this setting after the volume testing is
completed. Select the different volume options and click on the “Confirm” button to test the audible level of the
alarm. Once the levels have been tested, return the level to its original setting.
Alarm Trigger Testing
Admit a patient on the control system for the appropriate channel that you have configured your test transmitter.
Verify the “ECG Leads Off” alarm is set to ON for the admitted patient by selecting Alarm Settings, then Technical
Alarms. If the setting is set to OFF, temporarily change the setting to ON to perform this test. Disconnect a lead
from the patient simulator and verify that an alarm begins to sound at the appropriate sound level set in the
previous step (be sure to reset the alarm control settings to where they were prior to performing this test).
UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply)
Be sure patient monitoring is not in progress. Remove the mains plug from the UPS; the Central Station must
continue to function for 5 minutes without losing power. If the system can not be powered by the UPS for a period
of 5 minutes, the UPS may require repair or internal battery replacement.
Mortara recommends replacing the internal batteries on the UPS units provided by Mortara when the RED
“Battery End of Life” indicator is illuminated or every 3 years.
Antenna Network
Equipment needed: Ladder, flashlight and digital multi-meter.
Verify all connections of coax cables are secure.
Verify both lights are illuminated on each antenna network unit. If either light is out it could be caused by either a
faulty antenna network box (which would need to be replaced), or a disconnected coax cable between this
antenna network box and the next unit in the chain.
If both lights are out it could be caused by a faulty antenna network power supply(s). Refer to the section “Power
Supply Testing and Verification” below for troubleshooting.
Verify the lights are illuminated on either the LNA 611/915 or the 2500MHZ Down Converter (depending on the
system configuration). In the case of the Down Converter the light will indicate the selected band which the
Telemetry Central 3.X is set to receive. If these lights are not illuminated it could be caused by a faulty power
supply or faulty unit which would need to be replaced.

Infrared: 905nm at 3.5 to 4.5 mW nominal
Verified by clinical tests where measured values of the sensors were compared with
**
arterial CO-oximetry in adult subjects over the specified SpO2 range. Because pulse
oximeter equipment measurements are statistically distributed, only about two-thirds of
pulse oximeter equipment measurements can be expected to fall within the E
value measured by a CO-oximeter.
