Bluetooth® communications
The Tempus is fitted with a Bluetooth® radio. This enables it to communicate with other Bluetooth
®
enabled
devices. The Tempus can be provided with an optional Bluetooth headset for providing voice
communications.
3.3.16 On-screen user instructions
The Tempus provides the user with a conventional vital signs monitoring user interface. It can also be set to
provide additional on-screen instructions in the form of text and graphics. This is called iAssist mode. It is
intended for use by a trained healthcare professional, who may benefit from additional instructions on how to
attach the monitor to a patient. It is assumed that a more skilled or experienced user will turn the iAssist
feature on before handing the device to the more junior colleague.
iAssist is intended to make the device easier to use, provide on-screen instructions and provide context
sensitive errors in order to help the user apply the device. It does not change the behaviour of the patient or
technical alarms except to provide more on-screen and graphical instructions in some cases.
Using iAssist means that the format of the results (Home Screen) changes from a 4 channel (2 ECG,
Plethysmogram and Capnogram) layout to a 3 channel (1 ECG, Plethysmogram and Capnogram) layout.
iAssist instructions are available for ECG monitoring, Non-Invasive Blood Pressure, Pulse Oximetry, Contact
Temperature and Capnography. iAssist instructions are not available for invasive pressure as this process
requires specific training and is surgically invasive. Instructions are not included for use of a 10-wire ECG
cable as this requires specific training.
