CONNECTIVITY AND ECG TRANSMISSION
APPENDIX A
ECG Transmission
You may transmit ECGs to ELI Link, or to a third party EMR using an optional factory installed internal modem,
LAN, WLAN, or optional integrated GPRS mobile connection (GPRS option applies to ELI 150c only): all the
mentioned transmission modes can use the Mortara UNIPRO or DICOM communication protocol.
NOTE: Units ship by default with Comm Protocol set to UNIPRO. The UNIPRO setting is not supported
by E-Scribe versions prior to V8.10 or ELI Link versions prior to V3.10. For questions about compatibility
of your device with E-Scribe or ELI Link and UNIPRO, contact Mortara Technical Support.
Before transmitting ECGs, certain configuration options must be set in system settings depending upon the
transmission media used and the electronic storage media you are transmitting to (see Section 4).
NOTE: Telephone transmission is available with internal modem only.
NOTE: In order to properly connect to telephone lines, the device’s internal modem needs to be set on the
proper country code. This is an internal setting and should not be confused with International calling
codes.
The WLAN performance of the device may vary due to changes in RF (radio frequency) properties at your site or to
environmental conditions. If you are experiencing intermittent connectivity in certain areas of your facility, it may
be necessary to re-initiate the transmission process. You can also consult your hospital IT department or your
Mortara Instrument technical service representative regarding modification of your WLAN to improve system
performance.
To transmit records, select SYNC. To stop transmissions, use the STOP key.
To transmit one ECG, select F2 (Selec) to choose a record from the patient directory. Use F1 ( ▼ / ▲ ) to navigate
by line down the directory list; use • (Shift), F1 ( ▼ / ▲ ) to move up. Similarly, use F2 (▼▼/▲▲) to page down
the directory list; use • (Shift), F2 (▼▼/▲▲) to page up. To quickly select a patient name, use the keyboard to
enter the first few letters of the last name. The letters will be displayed in the lower left corner of the display screen
and the desired name will automatically be highlighted. When the desired record is highlighted, use F3 (Sync) to
transmit the individual ECG.
To batch transmit all records in the directory, select F1 (Batch). In a batch transmission, only those records which
have not been previously transmitted or marked for deletion will be transmitted. After the transmission of your
record(s), the real-time ECG view is displayed
