WHEN CONNECTING AUXILIARY INSTRUMENTS (A PC) TO YOUR PATIENT MONITORS, ALWAYS ENSURE NOT TO VIOLATE CHASSIS LEAKAGE REQUIREMENTS SPECIFIED IN UL544 AND IEC601-1.  YOU SHOULD RECHECK YOUR PHYSICAL SETUP AND THE LEAKAGE CURRENT LEVELS TO BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE AND YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS AFTER CONNECTING AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT.  

ALL COMMERCIAL PC EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE LOCATED OUT OF THE PATIENT PERIMETER (1.5m around the patient!). Since we cannot verify your setup, we cannot guarantee its safety. The hardware shown here are only means that might help you. You ALWAYS need to make proper measurements for the leakage requirements. It is also advised to have your local biomed department verifying your physical setup. 

Cables

Demed MF SUBD 9p Male/Female, metal hood, cable shield connected 1 side only, 3m 
Demed FF SUBD 9p Female/Female, metal hood, cable shield connected 1 side only, 3m 
Demed FFL SUBD 9p Female/Female, metal hood, cable shield connected 1 side only, 5m 

Electrical safety 

We can provide a RS-232 opto isolation device. Connecting this between your PC and your patient monitor will electrically isolate them if you connect the isolation correctly, and if you make sure there is no other electrical contact between them. Therefore, the PC has to be located OUT OF the patient perimeter (1.5m!)
REMARK: Always contact your local biomedical department. This is only a tool that can help your setup to pass your leakage measurements.  

Demed OPTO SUBD 25p/25p port-powered RS232 optical isolator:
* CE marked - with declaration of conformity
* optionally externally powered 
* 0 to 115200 Kbps
* 4000 Volts RMS isolation for 1 minute (may be limited by external power supply) provides you with reinforced insulation from ground loops or chassis-to-ground connections.  

Delivery includes a SUBD 25p Male/9 female serial line adapter & SUBD 9p Male/25 female serial line adapter

Alternatively, you can connect your PC to the mains power supply through an isolation transformer. A standard isolation transformer of 400VA (good for standard PC's) and a smaller version (250VA, for portable PC's) are available. 
REMARK: Always contact your local biomedical department. This is only a tool that can help your setup to pass your leakage measurements.
