1. Software transfer. Transfer software using the GE Healthcare Software Transfer Utility that
runs on a service PC. With this application, you transfer new software from a software CD to
the patient monitors over the CARESCAPE Network IX (IX Network) or a crossover cable. The
new, transferred software is inactive in the patient monitor(s) until you intentionally activate
it.
2. Software activation. Activate software using the web-based service interface, Webmin, either
over a local or remote access. You can activate software in a patient monitor only when it is
in a discharged state. You can start the software activation either immediately or after the
next case end / patient discharge, and for one patient monitor at a time.
In host software activation, the inactive and active software versions are
swapped. The inactive software becomes the active software and the
previous active software becomes the inactive software.
B850 only. In EMBC and UIC software activation, the inactive software is
installed into the connected peripheral device. The old active software is
erased. During software transfer, the software is stored into the patient
monitor’s memory. During the activation, the software is installed from
the patient monitor’s memory to the device. The device must be
connected to the monitor for the activation.
