Description
Pulse Oximeter
The pulse oximeter monitors and processes patient data and
sends this digital data to the transmitter via the oximeter’s serial
data port. The following Nellcor oximeters are supported: N-395,
N-550, N-595, N-560, and N-600.
Transmitter
The transmitter converts serial data from the oximeter to Ethernet
data and then transmits the data to the access point.
Access Point
The access point receives the wireless data from the transmitter
and forwards it to the router/switch. A number of access points
can be installed together to create a Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN), which can cover a single care unit, a single
floor, or multiple floors. The number of access points required to
create the WLAN is determined by the size of the area to be
monitored. Because every building is unique, access point
placement must be determined by trained personnel before the
Oxinet III installation. It is not recommended that an access point
be moved after installation, since the wireless coverage area will
be affected.
Router/Switch
The router/switch receives patient data from the access point via
the Ethernet network connection (or through the Cat5 Patch
cable) then forwards the data to the Central Station (application
server).
Central Station
(application server)
The Central Station (application server), which includes the
computer that runs the Oxinet III software, displays all monitored
rooms/beds, relevant pulse oximeter data, and alarms. Oximetry
data is received from the connected router/switch and, if the
optional paging feature is used, sends the alarm data to the
pager transmitter for transmission to the assigned pagers.
Pager Transmitter
(optional)
The pager transmitter receives the alarm data through the serial
RS-232 port of the Central Station and sends a text message to
the assigned pager(s) that includes: the room number, patient
name, alarm message, time and date.

Description
Pusle Oximeter
The pulse oximeter monitors and processes patient data and
sends this digital data to the Communication Server via hardwire
connection to the oximeter’s serial data port. The following
Nellcor oximeters are supported: N-395, N-550, N-595, N-560,
and N-600.
Communication
Server
The communication server is hard-wired to each bedside location
and converts digital serial data from the serial port of the pulse
oximeter to Ethernet data, then forwards that Ethernet data to the
Ethernet router/switch.
Router/Switch
The router/switch receives patient data from the communication
server via the Ethernet network (or through the Cat5 Patch cable)
and then forwards the data to the Central Station (application
server).
