The Datex-Ohmeda Network and iCentral (including iCentral Client) transfers information between networked Datex-Ohmeda devices in the Monitor Network as well as between Monitor Network and networked devices in GE Unity Network™. It also allows information transfer between several iCentrals. Within one Monitor Network it allows a networked device to display, store, print and otherwise process information received from other networked devices.
The iCentral maintains the network connections between the Datex-Ohmeda bedside monitors and other networked devices in Monitor Network. Network connections consist of hardwired network cables and/or Wireless LAN (WLAN) connections. Furthermore, it coordinates the transfer of information between devices in the Datex-Ohmeda Network, between the Datex-Ohmeda Network and devices in GE Unity Network as well as between the Datex-Ohmeda Network and Hospital Information Systems (HIS).
The iCentral can be used for remote monitor management, storing, printing, viewing, reviewing or otherwise processing of information from several bedside monitors or other networked devices.
The iCentral Client can be used for remote monitor management, printing, viewing, reviewing or otherwise processing of information from several bedside monitors or other networked devices.
The Datex-Ohmeda Network will be used for patients in the hospital and it is meant for continuous use.
The device is for use by qualified personnel only.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
