5.8 Main functions
5.8.1 Set the monitor
To set the monitor, please connect it to the computer via USB to use the IHM Anipill
software.
You may also configure:
date and time,
operating channel and.
5.8.2 Changing the channel used by the monitor
Up to 7 monitors can operate in parallel, in the same environment, thanks the choice
between 7 different communication frequency channels.
This choice can be performed through the Anipill® software or manually on the monitor. To
set the operating channel on the monitor, go to the menu "MONITOR" and the submenu
"Channel". Select a channel not used by monitors located in the same environment.
Figure 26 Menu to set the channel
This command is not possible when capsules are associated with the monitor.
The following message appears on the screen:
Figure 27 error message
Think about recording the working channel of each monitor; in case of breakage or failure,
this information will be needed to launch the monitor replace procedure (cf §6.2.1).
5.8.3 Activate a capsule
Note: Before capsule activation, please check the monitor's operating channel,the date/time
and the experimentation name.
31
V.01 21/08/2015
No modification of these three parameters will be authorized after activation of a
capsule.
Please set the alarm threshold before capsule activation.
In order to activate a capsule, please go to the "PILL" menu and then the submenu "Capsule
activation" of the monitor (Fig. 22).
After validation of the command "Capsule activation", dialog boxes will guide you through the
activation process:
First, the message "Connect activator" appears on the monitor screen; after
connecting the activator and placing it close to the monitor (<1m), press the button
OK as soon as button appears.
Then the message "Turn the capsule, small part down" appears. The capsule to
activate has then to be placed in the hole of the activator, big part upwards.
Then press the button OK on the monitor.
Finally, the message "Association in progress ... Press the button on the activator"
appears. You must then make a short press on the button of the activator.
Once the button of the Activator activated, the green LED located on it will flash; then
leave the capsule in place and wait until you see the message "Capsule activated, ID
number: XX.XX.XX.XX" on the monitor screen. It is recommended to note this ID
number.
Therefore, the capsule is activated and associated with the monitor. Press OK to confirm the
announcement and come back to the Capsule MENU.
Monitor assigns to the capsule a number between 1 and 16, the reference for data display.
By default, the assigned number will always be the lowest available between 1 and 16
(available mean that there are no associated capsule or stored data associated with this
number).
If the LED of the activator stops flashing and the message "Error! Would you
like to repeat the activation process" appears on the monitor screen, please
check the positioning of the Anipill® capsule in the hole of the Activator and /
Figure 22: Capsule activation menu
Figure 28 : Capsule menu
32
V.01 21/08/2015
or slightly move the Anipill® capsule in the hole, press the button OK on the
monitor to restart the association process and re-press then the button on the
Activator.
For the activation of an additional capsule, repeat the procedure. It is possible to connect up
to 3 capsules in parallel with a single monitor.
5.8.4 Consult temperature data in real time
In order to visualize the collected temperature data, go to the menu "DATA" and the
submenu "data visualization" or directly by pressing the button Home . The screen will
then allow you to visualize the latest temperature data collected for each activated capsule
and the minimum and maximum values collected by each associated capsule.
Figure 29 : Home screen menu of data visualization
5.8.5 Synchronization of the data in memory of the capsule
It is recommended to be vigilant in environments with high metal stress (reinforced concrete
wall ...) and to regularly check on the monitor screen that communication with the capsule is
not disturbed.
In the menu "View Data", a star (*) associated with a capsule number indicates that the
monitor have to be synchronized with the capsule. An orange star means that the last data
have been collected more than 5 minutes.
The capsule has an internal memory that automatically records the last 2000 measurements
collected. When communication between the monitor and / capsule (s) is interrupted
(indicated by the star on the temperature display screen), the monitor is not receiving / the
data (s).
Nevertheless, there is a feature in the monitor that automatically recovers the missing data
as soon as communication is restored. The monitor will automatically synchronize its data
with the 2000 data available in the memory of the capsule.
33
V.01 21/08/2015
The storage capacity of each capsule is limited, the communication between the capsule and
the associated monitor have to be restored within a maximum period of 15 hours. If not, you
might permanently loose some of the collected data (automatic synchronization capsule /
monitor can take time, from several minutes to several hours depending on the number of
data to recover).
If data are synchronized without initial data (which is the case in Backup mode), the time and
date associated to the data will be estimated. It is possible that of an inaccuracy of a few
minutes occurs for the estimated time.
A marker "Backup mode" green on the chart of the Anipill software indicates the beginning of
the Backup mode. All the data before this marker are synchronized data.
5.8.6 Visualization of the end-of-life of the capsule
On the monitor, when a capsule reaches the end of life, the message "Low" appears in the
column Batt (Fig. 27) of the detailed visualization screen (§6.9.4).
The capsule will stop around 500 steps after the appearance of the first message "Low" (if
the monitor and the capsule are in continuous RF communication).
5.8.7 Disassociation of a capsule
After usage, just go to the menu "PILL" (Fig. 22) of the monitor and in the submenu
"Disassociation capsule", select the capsule to stop and press OK.
In order to ensure the success of the procedure, the capsule and monitor must be close
enough to communicate.
Figure 30: Selection of a capsule to disassociate.
A confirmation has to be validated before the disassociation of the capsule. This
action is definitive; the capsule disappears from the Monitor database. The data
file corresponding to the capsule is stored until data download to a computer and
activation of a new capsule on this location.
Three cases may be display:
34
V.01 21/08/2015
"Occupied slot ": The data of a capsule remains on the monitor, but the capsule is no
longer associated. Data can be downloaded on the Anipill software. As unloading did
not take place, a new capsule cannot be activated on this location.
"Active slot": A capsule is associated
"Free slot": This location is available to the activation of a new capsule.
5.8.8 Use of the monitor screen
In order to save battery, the monitor screen will switch off automatically after 3 minutes of
inactivity when the monitor is in battery operation. This action is canceled for 3 possible
reasons:
The monitor is power supply mode. In this case, the screen is constantly switched on
without user action.
The monitor displays data temperature screen. This screen is very important for patient
monitoring. In this case, the monitor does not automatically go into standby.
If the monitor is in standby mode and that a physiological alarm triggers, the monitor
will automatically switch on and will go on the temperature display.
In any case, to go or to come back to standby mode, you may simply press the side button of
the monitor, represented by the following logo:
5.8.9 Low battery
The monitor has a limited autonomy depending on usage (screen on / off, an alarm triggered
or not etc ...).
Therefore it is important to always check the battery level of the monitor when using the
monitor in battery mode. The orange LED allows you to be notified when the battery of the
monitor is in a critical state while you need to plug it in USB ASAP.
If not, however, the monitor is switched off without being recharged on time, you simply have
to put the monitor in charge (you may have to wait a few minutes before you can use the
screen again), and reset immediately the time on the monitor.
Indeed, the radiofrequency part will restart only when the time of the monitor has been reset.
Warning, if an invalid time is entered, the data may be corrupted.
This action of setting the time may be done directly on the monitor or through the Anipill®
software.
While the battery is in charge, the battery logo turns purple and always filled (indicating the
state of charge and not the battery level). Once the cable is disconnected, the logo becomes
green and shows the real percentage of the battery.

6.2 Secondary functions
6.2.1 Recovery mode
When the operation of the monitor is disturbed (failure, broken, …), it is possible to recover
the communication with capsule which was associated first; via an another monitor. This
allow to ensure the continuity of the cycle of measurement
It is necessary to start the replace operation with an operational monitor. This mode will allow
to retrieve data from all the Anipill capsules communicating on the selected channel, in the
communication frequency of the monitor and whose ID number is known.
First, it is necessary to bring a functional and charged monitor. Then, check that no capsule
is associated with this monitor. Connect it to the Anipill® software and configure the
operating channel of the monitor to the same channel as the failed monitor. In fact on the
operating channel of the capsules you want to recover [follow the procedure in § 5.8.2]. After
you have started the Anipill® software, connect the monitor to a functional PC/Mac with the
cables provided by the manufacturer. Select "Recovery mode" on the Anipill® software.
Figure 37 Tab "Replace mode"
Validate the start of the mode by clicking "Enable recoveryFrecover mode".
The following window appears:
Figure 38 Id of capsules in recovery mode
Enter the ID number of the capsules you want to recover. (§ 6.9.12)
The order of capsules does not matter.
39
V.01 21/08/2015
Warning: all the capsules must have been first activated with the same original monitor.
Select “Apply”. You will see the banners of the monitor switch from black to white, indicating
the use of the replace mode.
Place the monitor close to the environment of the capsules to recover. The monitor will
automatically resynchronize with the capsules that are still close and will match the entered
ID number in the Anipill® software.
To exit the replace mode, you have to disassociate the capsules of the monitor (§ 6.9.12)
and download the data via the Anipill® software.
Note: To exit the recovery mode, connect the monitor to a PC with the cables provided by the
manufacturer and go again to the tab Backup mode on the Anipill software. Click then on
"Disable the Backup mode." Banners on the monitor switch then again in black, indicating
that the replace mode is stopped.
For the data which are saved in the capsule before the recovery mode, the frequency cannot
be known. So the associated frequency is by default the same that the one entered.
6.2.2 Export and import accounts
To export all accounts from an comptur to an other, click on “Data management” tab with the
administrator account. Export account with the “Export” button, name and save the file.
