<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 and DEC_Interrupted_Communication_RC 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 subscribes to physiologic data from the two patients in the table below and  terminates any other subscriptions it is receiving.</li>     <li>The  DOC is receiving messages from the DOF for two patients (see below). The  messages contain at least three valid parameters for each patient.</li>     <li>The  DOF system interrupts its connection to the DOC on the network for at least one  message for each patient, and then restores 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>     <li>DOC  terminates the subscriptions.</li> </ul><p>NOTE: This test  need be conducted only one time, with a single DOC 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. Additional patients can be created using the same pattern.</p><table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">     <tr>      <td width="133" valign="top">       <p align="center">        <strong>System</strong>       </p>      </td>     <td width="91" valign="top">       <p align="center">        <strong>MRD</strong>       </p>      </td>     <td width="61" valign="top">       <p align="center">        <strong>First Name</strong>       </p>      </td>     <td width="67" valign="top">       <p align="center">        <strong>Last Name</strong>       </p>      </td>     <td width="127" valign="top">       <p align="center">        <strong>Location</strong>       </p>      </td>     <td width="79" valign="top">       <p align="center">        <strong>Mother&rsquo;s Maiden Name</strong>       </p>      </td>     <td width="73" valign="top">       <p align="center">        <strong>DOB</strong>       </p>      </td>     </tr>     <tr>      <td width="133" valign="top">       <p>&nbsp;
