<H3>Special Instructions</H3><p> <p>DEC_Interrupted_Communication_RC,  DEC_Interrupted_Communication_FC  and DEC_Interrupted_Communication_RFC  are defined in the context of sending and receiving systems, with the exception  of DORs or DOFs which only send a single message or intermittent messages,  rather than a series of messages (e.g., a vital signs monitor DOR as contrasted  with a bedside monitor DOR). </p> <p>The DEC_One_to_One_Communication  test should be conducted successfully before attempting this test.</p> <p> This is a two part  test: During the test, a sending system will successfully send at least two  messages for two patients, then interrupt the connection to the network, and  then restore the connection. The interruption will be at least long enough to  fail to transmit one message to the DOC. The sending system will manually note  the time the connection was interrupted and restored for later comparison with  the transmitted and received data.</p> <p>  Similarly, but not  simultaneously, a receiving system that successfully receives at least two  messages for two patients, will interrupt its connection to the network, and  then restore the connection. The interruption will be at least long enough to fail  to receive one message. The receiving system will manually note the time the  connection was interrupted and restored for later comparison with the  transmitted and received data.</p> <p>  There are three  variations of this test; be sure you select the right one(s):</p> <ul>     <li>DEC_Interrupted_Communication_RC</li>     <ul>      <li>DOR and DOC participate. This test is required of  DOF systems where the DOR and DOF are incorporated in the same system.</li>     </ul>     <li>DEC_Interrupted_Communication_FC</li>     <ul>      <li>DOF and DOC implementing  the SPD (PCD-02) option participate. This test is required of  DOF systems where the DOR and DOF are incorporated in the same system.</li>     </ul>     <li>DEC_Interrupted_Communication_RFC</li> </ul> <p>This test is required of standalone DOF systems  where input to the DOF requires the DOF to act as a DOC, and needs a DOR as  partner; the DOF has previously succeeded in testing as a DOC with a DOR to  assure it can receive PCD-01 messages.</p> <p>  NOTE: Test names  are the same for all systems. They play partner roles. Developers of sending  systems are responsible for coordinating with their partners <em>in advance of  the Connectathon</em> to assure that the receiving systems. Parameter values  should be realistic for a patient in a cardiac ICU bed or on an OR table. </p> </p><H3>Description</H3><p>Conduct  DEC_One_to_One_Communication before proceeding.</p><p>  The data source  will send messages continuously before and during each step of this test. The  steps are:</p><ul>     <li>The  DOC is receiving messages from the DOR for two patients (see below). The  messages contain at least three valid parameters for each patient.</li>     <li>The  DOR then interrupts its connection to the network, and then restores the  connection. The interruption will be at least long enough to fail to transmit  one message to the DOC. The sending system will manually note the time the  connection was interrupted and restored for later comparison with the  transmitted and received data.</li>     <li>After  restoring communication and receiving at least two messages for the two  patients, the receiving DOC system will interrupt its connection to the network  for at least one message for each patient, and then restore the connection. The  interruption will be at least long enough to fail to receive one message. The  receiving system will manually note the time the connection was interrupted and  restored for later comparison with the transmitted and received data.</li> </ul><p>NOTE: This test  need be conducted only one time, with a single partner.</p><p></p><p>PATIENT IDENTIFICATION:</p><p>For systems NOT using PAM or PDQ to obtain patient demographics, the patients for this test in    January 2008 are given below.
