1.1 Introduction
This section of the service manual initially provides a high-level overview of the Panorama
®
Patient Monitoring Network, followed by more detailed information.
1.1.1 Overview
The Panorama Patient Monitoring Network is a comprehensive patient care monitoring and
management system designed for use in a hospital setting. The system is intended to be
installed and used in a fixed, non-portable, permanent location that serves as a central data
viewing station. The Panorama Patient Monitoring Network consists of the following four
primary modules that are linked to and/or by one another:
• Panorama Central Station
• Panorama Central Network
• Panorama Patient Network
• Bedside Monitor
NOTE: Optional modules include ISM telemetry and WMTS
telemetry for wireless operation.
Hardware and software components within each module provide system-wide functionality
and connectivity.
Patient information is routed to the Panorama Patient Monitoring Network via the four
modules. Information is sent across a network provided to and by the Panorama Patient
Network and the Panorama Central Network modules. The Panorama Patient Network
connects the Passport 2
®
and Spectrum™ monitors. The monitoring capacity of the system is
flexible and uses industry standard components to provide network communications to all
connected patient monitors and peripheral devices. The Panorama Central Network connects
two or more Panorama Central Stations and/or laser printers.
This service manual focuses on the Panorama Central and Telemetry Server modules since
they are the hands-on interface between the medical staff and the Panorama Patient
Monitoring Network. The Panorama Central Station module is a combination of both
hardware (e.g., Central Station computer and display monitor) and software components
(i.e., Panorama software application). Much of the patient information processing and data
management occurs within the Central Station.
Panorama

Telemetry
The Panorama Wireless Telemetry Server collects patient data from bedside monitors and/or
Ambulatory Telemetry Packs (Telepacks) via ceiling or wall mounted antennas. This allows
transport through specifically designated areas of the hospital without disconnecting cables
or discharging a patient while transporting that patient from room to room. Patient data is
displayed at the Central Station, which is mounted at the nurses’ station. The system operates
in either the 2.4 GHz Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band or the 608 - 614 MHz
Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS) band.
