Equipment overview
2001989-301A- draft 1 ApexPro™ 2-3
 Multi-Lead with active interface connector ports (gray dust covers).
For more information on ECG lead analysis options, refer to Lead analysis on page 7-
16.
The two INTFC (interface) connector ports are used for connecting serial interface
devices. The ports are labeled 1 and 2 (on the dust covers).
 2 is the inside port, closest to the leadwire set. It is for use with episodic
monitoring serial devices, such as blood pressure monitors.
 1 is the outside port, furthest from the leadwire set. It is for use with continuous
monitoring serial devices, such as oximeters.
For more information on connecting devices to the transmitter, refer to Equipment
setup on page 3-1.
Antenna system
The antenna system sends data to the receiver system. Data is then transmitted via a
dedicated Ethernet connection to the server for further processing and viewing. For
more information, refer to the Enterprise Access Service manual.
Receiver system
The receiver system sends data via a dedicated Ethernet connection to the server for
further processing and viewing. For more information, refer to ApexPro Receiver
System Service Manual.
Server
A server hosts the ApexPro software. The server can be an ApexPro Telemetry Server
(ATS) or a CIC Pro center with a BCM or Nightshade server.
If your system includes an ATS, the ATS receives and analyzes patient and transmitter
data from the receiver system, runs the ApexPro software, stores the data and sends
the data to the CIC Pro center for display. For more information, refer to the ApexPro
Telemetry Server Service Manual.
If your system includes a BCM or Nightshade server, the CIC Pro center receives and
analyzes patient and transmitter data from the receiver system, runs the ApexPro
software, stores and displays all telemetry patient data. For more information, refer to
the appropriate CIC Pro center service manual.
CIC Pro center
The CIC Pro center displays real-time data acquired from up to 16 networked GE
monitors or transmitters. The CIC Pro center displays this telemetry bed patient data
along with the patient data acquired from other monitors.
The transmitter number is displayed under the ECG parameter window and identifies
the type of transmitter.
The CIC Pro center is also used to define telemetry defaults. For more information,
refer to System setup on page 4-1.
