• GE Healthcare Software Transfer Utility that runs on a service PC. With this application,
you can transfer new software to the patient monitors over the CARESCAPE Network IX (IX

7.20.2 Activating the installed software

After transferring the new software to the patient monitors, take the transferred, inactive
software into use by activating it.
Before you start:
• Verify the compatibility of the connected bedside and network devices with the new
software version. Refer to the latest version of the patient monitor's supplemental
information manual for a list of compatible network and bedside devices.
• Contact GE Healthcare to get the latest version of the user and service documentation.
• Contact GE Healthcare for any inquiries regarding the software installation package
and/or activation code for the new host software version.
NOTE: Loss of monitoring - Software is activated only when the patient monitor is in a patient
discharged / case reset state. Normal patient monitoring is unavailable until the software
activation is completed. This may take up to 10 minutes.
NOTE: The existing clinical and platform settings of the patient monitor are saved and are not
affected by the activation of the new patient monitor software version. However, any new or
changed clinical and platform settings in the activated patient monitor software version have
their factory default values and may require manual configuration. For more information, refer
to the latest version of the patient monitor's supplemental information manual.
