Equipment Overview: ApexPro Telemetry System
Compatibility with Bedside Monitors
ApexPro telemetry system patient data can be viewed on most GE
Medical Systems Information Technologies patient monitors. The
monitor must be connected to the Unity network and in the same care
unit as the ApexPro telemetry system.
The telemetry patient can be viewed on the bedside monitor using the
monitor’s split screen view, or when the monitor is set for either Combo
or Rover Combo monitoring mode.
NOTES
When the monitor is set for Combo mode, the second V lead can
NOT be viewed or manipulated.
Users should be aware of a possible time discrepancy between
the waveforms from the Telemetry device and the waveforms
hard-wired to the display device. Users should not consider these
waveforms to be synchronous. If absolute synchronicity is
desired, Combo mode should be discontinued and the ECG
waveforms should be acquired via the hard-wired bedside device.
Refer to the appropriate monitor’s operator’s manual for more
information.
CAUTION
Only ECG monitoring is compatible when viewing an
ApexPro telemetry system patient in the Combo and
Rover Combo modes on:
Eagle 4000 patient monitor running software version
6F or earlier.
Solar 7000/8000 patient monitor running software
version 5E or earlier.
Tram critical care monitor (Tramscope) running
software version 7D or earlier.
Monitoring other parameters is not compatible.
Erroneous patient data may result.
The Dash 2000 patient monitor must be running software version 2A or
later to work with the ApexPro telemetry system.
Contact your GE Medical Systems Information Technologies
representative if you have questions regarding compatibility.
