IntelliVue Telemetry System
1-4 Introducing IntelliVue Telemetry
IntelliVue Telemetry System
The IntelliVue Telemetry System with Smart-Hopping Technology uses cellular
architecture to provide two-way communication between transceivers and the
IntelliVue Information Center. Smart-hopping technology dodges interference
and seeks out the strongest available signal to achieve seamless connections
wherever patients roam on the clinical network. The system connects a number
of individual devices to form a complete method of transporting patient data to a
central repository for subsequent distribution to clinical staff. Full patient
mobility is available within the areas defined by the wireless coverage of the
multiple Access Points.
Bi-
directional
Capability
Telemetry transmits the patient’s measurements using radio waves. The signals
obtained from the patient travel from the transceiver to an access point in the
ceiling or wall and then to the Information Center. Bi-directional capability
enables you to remotely control certain transceiver functions from the
Information Center. Physiological data is transported from the transceiver, and a
reverse data channel enables data to be transported to the transceiver. Bi-
directional operations include the following:
• Change SpO2measurement mode, or turn SpO2measurement off.
• Enable or disable display of the pleth wave.
• Adjust the transceiver volume, or turn it off.
• Find Device feature for locating a lost transceiver within the coverage
area.
• Suppress SpO2technical alarms (INOPS) during NBP measurement.
• Return from Standby mode after a patient is away from the unit and not
being monitored by the IntelliVue Telemetry System.
• Configurable Alarm Pause/Suspend time initiated at the transceiver as
well as the Information Center.
• Transceiver location information displayed at the Information Center.
• Transceiver out of area notification at the Information Center.

IntelliVue Telemetry System

Smart-
hopping
Technology
Smart-hoppingTM technology provides dynamic management of the RF
spectrum used by each transceiver. This technology allows a virtually unlimited
number of transceivers to operate simultaneously within the IntelliVue
Telemetry System by creating a frequency-agile system that changes frequency
without user involvement or awareness whenever interference occurs.
Bi-directional Signal Flow in the IntelliVue Telemetry System

IntelliVue Telemetry System
1-6 Introducing IntelliVue Telemetry
Smart-hopping enables the signal to avoid wireless interference. When baseline
noise is low (see illustrations following), telemetry signals reside in their
frequency/time slot locations. If excessive interference occurs, degrading the
signal, the telemetry signal then “hops” over the interference to a location that
provides optimal signal-to-noise performance.
In cases of excessive intermittent wireless interference, such as machinery
operation or construction activity, you should identify patterns of interference.
This information may assist your service provider in helping you resolve a
problem with interference.

IntelliVue Clinical Network
1-8 Introducing IntelliVue Telemetry
Spectrum
Sharing
The ITS4840A IntelliVue Telemetry System operates in the Wireless Medical
Telemetry Service bands (WMTS - USA only). WMTS uses radio frequency
spectrum which was allocated by the FCC for medical telemetry applications,
with a reduced potential for harmful interference. Although WMTS is managed
by a frequency coordination process, this coordination and licensing does not
grant the user an exclusive right to the spectrum on which their system operates,
and is subject to the terms and conditions of the FCC license. Other WMTS and
non-medical FCC licensees, as well as government agencies, may be legally
authorized to use this licensed spectrum.
The ITS4850A IntelliVue Telemetry System operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band,
with up to six RF channels using a similar Smart-hopping technology as
described on page 1-5. The system also scans the selected six RF channels to
determine whether the spectrum is sufficiently clear. If the system is too
congested, a system level alert is provided.
IntelliVue Clinical Network
The IntelliVue Clinical Network (ICN) is the communication infrastructure
necessary to tie together all the patient monitoring systems within an
organization. This includes getting information to and from the IntelliVue
Information Center(s).
Patients can be monitored within the defined coverage areas. When a patient
goes out of range, an auditory out-of-range indicator sounds at the transceiver,
and a "No Signal" technical alarm at the Information Center notifies the clinical
staff.
The Network can include both wired and wireless devices. An installation
typically includes the following components:
• IntelliVue Clinical Network infrastructure.
• TRx4841A/TRx4851A Transceivers, bi-directional patient-worn devices.
• ITS4842A/ITS4852A Access Points (AP), placed within the areas with
defined coverage. APs are centers for bidirectional communication
