EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS
15.1 Overview
Patient data can be obtained mainly through the serial interface and analog outputs of the
"Systems Connector" on the back of the TOSCA 500 monitor by connecting it to a Personal
Computer (PC) or a Component Multiparameter System (CMS).
When connecting the TOSCA 500 monitor to a PC or CMS, verify proper operation before
clinical use. Both the TOSCA 500 monitor and the PC or CMS must be connected to
a grounded AC outlet. The communication protocol setting must be set as described in
the section "System Parameter/Configuration", paragraph "Communication Protocol" of
the TOSCA 500 Operating Manual.
Any PC or non-medical device connected to the "Systems Connector" must be certified
according to IEC/EN 60950 Standard. All combinations of equipment must be in compliance
with IEC/EN 60601-1-1 Standard systems requirements. Anyone who connects a PC or
a CMS to the TOSCA 500 "Systems Connector" configures a medical system and is therefore
responsible for ensuring that the system complies with the requirements of system standard
IEC/EN 60601-1-1 and the electromagnetic compatibility system standard IEC/EN 60601-1-2.
15.2 Connecting to the Systems Connector
The TOSCA 500 "Systems Connector" may be connected to the PC or CMS by using a cable
terminated with a shielded DB-37 connector. The cable should be no more than 3 meters
in length.
The cable used must have a braided shield providing 100% coverage. The shield must have
a 360-degree connection to the metal shell on the DB-37 connector and to the connector on
the PC or CMS. Do not create sharp bends in the cable, as this may tear or break the
shielding.
See section 15.4 EasyLink, section 15.5 VueLink and section 15.6 Monlink for details.
