Response Centre (i2i) communication
If a data connection is in progress this will be shown. The green icon will flash when the connection is in
being established and the text will read “Data connecting”. When a link to the data centre (gateway) has
been made the icon will stop flashing and the text will read “Data connected”. At this time the Tempus will
be connected to the data centre (gateway) but will not be transmitting any patient data until a Response
Centre user initiates the connection from their terminal. Once they have done this the text will read “Data
Connected”.
Note
To transmit data, you must have a manned Response Centre who have the i2i software
installed and who have familiarised themselves with its operation. Full installation
instructions are provided with the i2i software and support is available from RDT, see “RDT
contact details”.
If a voice connection has been initiated, then an additional green icon will appear with the text “Voice” next
to it. The icon will flash while the voice connection is being established and will stop flashing once the call
has been picked up by the Response Centre. If video is being transmitted this will be shown.
5.1.5 Instrument readings
When the Tempus is in use each area will become populated with data. For ECG, Pulse Oximetry, Contact
Temperature, Invasive Pressure or Capnography the data will begin to appear on the display as soon as the
parameter is connected i.e. there is no start control or button for these parameters.
Since the non-invasive blood pressure measurements are single readings this requires the user to both
attach the cuff to the patient and start the reading. These readings are therefore time-stamped with the time
that they were recorded.
Status bar when response centre communication is established
This section shows if
Bluetooth devices are
attached (and how many), if
video is being transmitted
and if WiFi is being used
This section shows if data is
“connecting” (dialling), “connected”
(connected to a data centre/gateway)
or “Connected” (connected to a
Response Centre)
This section shows if voice is
connecting (the icon will flash)
or connected (the icon will be
solid)
