1.3 Work mode

The monitor has two working modes: Clinic Mode and Monitor Mode.

1.3.1 Clinic Mode

Clinic Mode refers to that the monitor is used for monitoring of a number of
patients one by one by outpatient doctor. Each patient has his/her own ID number, and
the monitoring results of patients are saved according to their ID numbers. When a
patient with the same ID number appears again, the device will automatically find out
the previous monitoring data, and will add current data to the previous one.
Clinic mode may be used in one of the following occasions:
1. Medical personnel are present, e.g. monitoring of patients by outpatient doctor
or house-call doctor;
2. A number of measurements of many patients, e.g. monitoring of patients by
physical checkup doctor;
3. Rounds of wards, e.g. doctor or nurse can monitor relevant physiological
status of patient by the monitor when checking in ward.

1.3.2 Monitor Mode

Monitor Mode refers to that the monitor is used to monitor the same patient in
ward for long time. In this mode, the small-sized monitor is used to monitor the
patient's SpO2, NIBP and CO2.
Monitor mode may be used in one of the following occasions:

Chapter 5 Alarm
Alarm refers to a prompt that is given by the monitor for medical personnel
through visual, audible and other means when a vital sign appears abnormal or
technical problem occurs.

Note

 The monitor generates all the audible and visual alarms through speaker,
alarm lamp and screen. When the monitor powers on, the alarm lamp
will be lighted one time and the speaker will give a beep voice, which
indicates the alarm system of the monitor is working order.

5.1 Alarm Category

According to character of alarm, the monitor’s alarms can be classified into three
categories: physiological alarms, technical alarms and prompt messages.
 Physiological alarms
Physiological alarms are triggered by a monitored parameter value that violates
set alarm limits or an abnormal patient condition. Physiological alarm messages are
displayed in the physiological alarm area.
 Technical alarms
Technical alarms are triggered by a device malfunction due to improper operation
or system problems. The problems may result in system abnormal operation or
irresponsible monitoring parameters. Technical alarm messages are displayed in the
technical alarm area.
 Prompt messages
As a matter of fact, prompt messages are not alarm messages. Apart from the
physiological and technical alarm messages, the monitor will show some messages to
indicate the system status.

Chapter 5-1
 Vital Signs Monitor User’s Manual

5.2 Alarm Level

According to severity of alarm, the monitor’s physiological alarms are classified
into three categories: high level alarms, medium level alarms and low level alarms.
 High level alarms: Indicate that the patient is in a life threatening situation and an
emergency treatment is necessary. This is the highest level alarm.
 Medium level alarms: Indicate that the patient’s vital signs appear abnormal and
an immediate treatment is required.
 Low level alarm: Indicate that the patient’s vital signs appear abnormal and an
immediate treatment may be required.
The levels of some physiological alarms are predefined before the monitor leaves
the factory and can not be changed by users. While some levels of physiological
alarms can be changed by users.
The monitor’s technical alarms are classified into two categories: medium level
and low level.
The levels of technical alarms are predefined before the monitor leaves the factory
and can not be changed by users.

5.3 Alarm Indicators

When an alarm occurs, the monitor will indicate it through the following means:
 Alarm tone: According to alarm level, speaker in the monitor gives alarm sound
in different tone.

Chapter 6 SpO2
6.1 Introduction
The measurement of oxygen saturation of arterial blood (also known as pulse
oxygen saturation, usually shortened as SpO2) adopts the principles of light spectra
and volume tracing. The LED emits lights with two specific wavelengths, which are
selectively absorbed by oxygenated hemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin. The optical
receptor measures the changes in the light intensity after the light passes the capillary
network and estimates the ratio of oxygenated hemoglobin and the total hemoglobin.

Oxygenated hemoglobin
SpO2 % = ×100%
Oxyhemoglobin + deoxyhemoglobin

Wavelengths of the light emitted by the pulse oximeter probe are nominally
660nm for red LED and 940nm for infrared LED.

6.2 Safety Information

Warning

 Use only SpO2 sensors specified in this manual. Follow the SpO2 sensor’s
instructions for use and adhere to all warnings and cautions.
 When a trend toward patient deoxygenation is indicated, blood samples
should be analyzed by a laboratory co-oximeter to completely understand
the patient’s conditions.
 Do not use the monitor and the SpO2 sensor during magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI). Induced current could cause burns.
 Prolonged continuous monitoring may increase the risk of unexpected
changes in skin characteristics, such as irritation, reddening, blistering or
burns. Inspect the sensor site every two hours and move the sensor if the
skin quality changes. For neonates, or patients with poor peripheral blood
circulation or sensitive skin, inspect the sensor site more frequently.
 Check the SpO2 sensor and its package for any sign of damage before use.
Do not use the sensor if any damage is detected.

Chapter 6-1
 Vital Signs Monitor User’s Manual

 Before use, the operator must ensure the compatibilityies of the monitor,
SpO2 sensor and extension cables; otherwise, this may lead to the burning
of patients; do not use damaged sensor or extension cable. Do not soak the
sensor into water or make it wet, otherwise it may be damaged.
 When disposing the disposable SpO2 probe or useless SpO2 probe, please
observe all local, state, and federal regulations that relate to the disposal

Chapter 7 NIBP
7.1 Introduction
The monitor uses the oscillometric method for measuring NIBP. It is applicable
for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. The method of oscillometric indirectly
estimates the systolic and diastolic pressures within the blood vessels by measuring
the change of the pressure within blood pressure cuff along with the volume of the
arteries and calculates the average pressure.
The NIBP measurement is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgery and
during the discharge of a cardiac defibrillator according to IEC 60601-2-30:1999/EN
60601-2-30:2000.
A physician must determine the clinical significance of the NIBP measurement.

7.2 Safety Information

Warning

 Check the patient category before monitoring. Incorrect settings may

result in some risk for patient safety. Higher adult setting is not suitable
for pediatric and neonatal patients.
 Do not measure NIBP on patients with sickle-cell disease or any condition
where skin damage has occurred or is expected.
 Use clinical judgement to decide whether to perform frequent Auto BP
measurements on patients with severe blood clotting disorders because of
the risk of hematoma in the limb fitted with the cuff.
 Use clinical judgement to decide whether to perform Auto BP
measurement on the patients of thrombasthemia.
 Do not use the NIBP cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion or
arterial catheter in place. This could cause tissue damage around the
catheter when the infusion is slowed or blocked during cuff inflation.
 If you doubt the NIBP measurements, check the patient’s vital signs by
other device, and then check the monitor.

Chapter 7-1
 Vital Signs Monitor User’s Manual

7.3 Measurement Limitations

NIBP measurements are impossible with heart rate extremes of less than 40 bpm or
greater than 240 bpm, or if the patient is on a heart-lung machine.
The measurement may be inaccurate or impossible:
——with excessive and continuous patient movement such as shivering or
convulsions;
——if a regular arterial pressure pulse is hard to detect;
——with cardiac arrhythmias;
——with rapid blood pressure changes;
——with severe shock or hypothermia that reduces blood flow to the peripheries;
——on an edematous extremity.

7.4 Measurement Mode

There are three modes of measuring NIBP:
 Manual: measurement on demand.
 Auto: continually repeated measurements in the set interval.
 STAT: rapid series of measurements over a five minutes period, then the
monitor returns to the previous mode. Use only on supervised patients.

7.5 Monitoring Procedure

7.5.1 Preparing to Measure NIBP

1. Check the patient category, if you want to change the patient category, Select
to enter【Patient Info】menu. And select the patient category as required.
2. Select the appropriate cuff according to patient category.
 Check the limb circumference of patient.
 Select the appropriate cuff (The applicable limb circumference for cuff is
marked on the cuff). The width of the cuff should be about 40% of the limb
circumference (50% for neonate) or 2/3 of the upper arm’s length. The
inflatable part of the cuff should be long enough to encircle 50%~80% of
the limb.

Chapter 7-2
 Vital Signs Monitor User’s Manual

Note

 The accuracy of measurement of BP depends on the suitability of the

cuff.

3. Confirm the cuff has been entirely deflated.

4. Plug the air pipe plug of cuff into the connector (NIBP) of monitor until the
plug and socket contact well. (Attention: you shall nip the part of air pipe plug
of cuff close to socket with fingers before pulling it out.)
5. Tie the cuff to the upper arm or thigh of the patient.
Ensure the mark “Φ” on the cuff shall lie above artery while the air pipe shall be
under the cuff, ensuring the air pipe outside the cuff does not knot and the white line
on the cuff shall be within the range “ ”, otherwise the cuff shall be replaced.
The monitor is applicable for standard neonatal cuff, pediatric cuff and adult cuff.
(Including arm cuff and thigh cuff).

Note

 While measuring blood pressure, the patient must keep calm without
any talk.
 The cuff tied on the limb shall be on the same level as the patient’s heart
so as to avoid the reading error resulting from the hydrostatics effect of
the blood flow between the heart and cuff. If the cuff position is higher
than heart level, the BP reading will be lower, the measured result shall be
added 0.75mmHg (0.1kPa) for each centimeter higher; in case the cuff
position is lower than heart level, the BP reading will be higher, the
measured result shall be deducted 0.75mmHg (0.1kPa) for each
centimeter lower.

Chapter 8 CO2
8.1 Introduction
The monitor adopts infrared absorption technology to measure the carbon dioxide
(CO2) concentration in the breathing airway of patient. Because CO2 molecule can
absorb infrared light of special wavelength, and the amount of absorbed infrared light
directly relates to the concentration of CO2, therefore while the infrared light radiated
from the infrared light source passing through the gas sample containing CO2, part of
energy will be absorbed by CO2 in the gas. At another side of infrared light source, a
photodetector is used to measure the remaining infrared energy and convert it to
electric signal, which will be compared with the energy of infrared light source and
adjusted so as to correctly reflect the CO2 concentration in the gas sample.
The method to measure carbon dioxide in the patient’s airway for this monitor is
microstream. That is takeing a sample of the respiratory gas with a constant sample
flow from the patient’s airway and analyzes it with the CO2 sensor.

8.2 Monitoring Procedure

1. Attaching the CO2 Module Cable
Plug the cable into the CO2 connector on the monitor.
2. Attaching the Sampling Tube
Insert the sampling tube into the sampling tube receptacle. Shown as follows:

Receptacle

Sampling Tube

Chapter 8-1
 Vital Signs Monitor User’s Manual

Note

 Inserting the sampling tube into the receptacle automatically starts the
sampling pump. Removal of the sampling tube turns the sample pump
off.
 To remove the sampling tube from the sampling tube receptacle, press
down on the locking tab and pull the sampling tube from the receptacle.

3. If the sampling pump fails to turn on, or runs intermittently, perform a “Zero”
procedure.
4. Ensure that the CO2 module exhaust tube vents gases away from the module
environment.
5. Wait for the CO2 module to warm up. The monitor will display the “Sensor
Warm Up” message for approximately 1minute while the module warms up
to operating temperature. The message disappears when the module is ready
for use.
6. Apply Microstream airway adapter or cannula.

1）For intubated patients requiring an airway adapter: Install the airway adapter
at the proximal end of the circuit between the elbow and the ventilator Y
section. Shown as follows:

2）For intubated patients with an integrated airway adapter in the breathing

circuit: Connect the male connector on the straight sample line to the female
port on the airway adapter. Shown as follows:

Chapter 8-2
 Vital Signs Monitor User’s Manual

3）For non-intubated patients: Place the nasal cannula onto the patient. Shown as
follows:

4）For patients prone to mouth breathing use an oral-nasal cannula. Trim the oral
sampling tip if necessary to fit the patient. It should extend down past the
teeth and be positioned in the mouth opening. Remove the cannula from the
patient if the tip needs to be trimmed. Shown as follows:

5）For nasal or oral-nasal cannulas with oxygen delivery, place the cannula on
the patient as shown then attach the oxygen supply tubing to the oxygen
delivery system and set the prescribed oxygen flow.

Caution

 Always connect the airway adapter to the sensor before inserting the
airway adapter into the breathing circuit. In reverse, always remove the
airway adapter from the breathing circuit before removing the sensor.
 Always disconnect the cannula, airway adapter or sampling tube from
the CO2 sensor when not in use.
 Do not insert the things other than sampling tube into receptacle of
sampling tube.
 Only use the CO2 sampling tubes specified by our company.
 The sampling tubes are disposable. Please keep the sampling tube clean,
and prevent the tube from clogging by dust. It is advised to replace the
sampling tube every 12h (up to 120h of use with filter tip), the sampling
tube leaks or has been damaged and contaminated.

8.5 Zeroing
Zeroing allows the CO2 module to adjust to the optical characteristics, in order to
obtain accurate readings. While zeroing is recommended the first time a CO2 module
is connected to the monitor, it is only absolutely necessary when the message “Zero
Required” is displayed.
Follow these steps:
1. Ensure that the nasal cannula or airway adapter is not connected to the patient
or close to any source of CO2 (including the patient's, your own, exhaled
breath and ventilator exhaust valves).
2. Select【Zero】in the CO2 parameter setting menu, this will start zeroing. The
monitor zeroes the module and displays the message “Zero In Progress” for
about 15-20s on the screen. The message disappears upon completion of the
zeroing.
Caution

 Always ensure that the sampling tube is properly connected to the

microstream CO2 module before zeroing.
 Always ensure that the mainstream CO2 sensor is properly connected to
the airway adapter before zeroing.
 Do not attempt zeroing for 20s after removing the adapter or cannula
from the patient’s airway. This time allows any CO2 remaining in the
adapter or cannula to dissipate before zeroing.
 Do not attempt to zero the module while the adapter or cannula is in the
patient’s airway.

Chapter 8-5
 Vital Signs Monitor User’s Manual

 Do not attempt zeroing if the temperature is not stable.

 Zeroing with CO2 in the adapter or cannula can lead to inaccurate
measurements or other error conditions. If you attempt zeroing while
CO2 remains in the adapter or cannula, the time required to zero the
module may be increased.

8.6 Calibrating
The monitor has been calibrated before leaving factory. You can use the monitor
directly except the following three situations. When one of the following situations
happens, please calibrate the CO2 module.
——The CO2 module has been used for half a year or a whole year.
——The therapeutist doubt about the reading of measurement.
——The atmospheric pressure or height above sea level has changed a lot after
last calibrating.

Caution

 Please calibrate the monitor under the direction of the technician

authorized by manufacturer. Incorrect calibrating process should lead
incorrect reading.

8.7 Removing Exhaust Gases

Warning

 When using the microstream CO2 measurement on patients who are

receiving or have recently received anesthetics, connect the outlet to a
scavenging system, or to the anesthesia machine/ventilator, to avoid
exposing medical staff to anesthetics.

Use an exhaust tube to remove the sample gas to a scavenging system. Attach it to
the outlet connector of microstream CO2 module.

Chapter 9 Temp
9.1 Introduction
9.1.1 Measuring principle

The emission infrared wave length is 8um~14um while the human body
temperature is in 35℃~44℃. The science proves that human's eardrum approaches
the brain hypothalamus, and the hypothalamus is the human body temperature control
center, thus the ear temperature can reflect the body core temperature more accurately
than other parts of human. Obviously the human ear cavity temperature and the body
temperature have the relatively stable corresponding relations. According to this
principle, we can monitor the human ear cavity’s infrared launch through the infrared
temperature measurement probe. After signal transforming and microprocessor
processing, the relatively accurate human body temperature will be outputted.
This temperature module has the ambient temperature automatic compensation
function. It can detect the ambient temperature change and revise its reading to reduce
the influence of difference temperature to the monitoring and avoid the shortcoming
that it is unable to monitor correctly when used in the big different temperature
environment. This temperature module uses the ear cavity mode to monitor human
temperature rapidly and obtain the temperature information.

Attention:
 Excessive or frequent cleaning may damage airbag, so don’t clean airbag
unless necessary.
 Do not dry airbag and sheath in high temperature.
 If higher sterilization level is required, please choose disposal cuff.
 One disposal cuff can only be used for one patient.
 Carefully keep water and cleaning solution out of the connecting parts ofcuff
and monitor.

13.3.3 CO2 Sensor and Reusable Airway Adapter

 The outside of the module or sensor may be cleaned and disinfected by wiping
with 70% isopropyl alcohol, a 10% bleach solution, or mild soap. After
cleaning, wipe with a clean, water-dampened cloth to rinse. Dry before use.
 Reusable airway adapters may be cleaned by rinsing in a warm soapy solution,
followed by soaking in a liquid disinfectant such as 70% isopropyl alcohol, a
10% bleach solution, Cidex® or System 1® (refer to the disinfectant
manufacturer's instructions for use). Adapters should then be rinsed with
sterile water and dried.
 Reusable airway adapters may also be pasteurized or autoclaved. Autoclave at
121℃ (250℉) for 20 minutes, unwrapped.
 Before reusing the adapter, ensure the windows are dry and residue-free, and
that the adapter has not been damaged during handling or by the cleaning
process.

13.3.4 Temp probe

The recommended disinfector is isopropyl alcohol 70%. Don’t use undiluted

decolourant (5%～5.25% sodium hypochlorite) or other non-recommended
disinfector in order to avoid damage to sensor.
Please clean the probe lens as the following steps:
1. Use the pily stick or soft cloth bedewed with water or alcohol to wipe the lens gently. Do
not pot the probe in the water or other liquid.
2. Dry the lens for over 30 min before cover the new earcap, and avoid solarizing directly
while the temperature is beyond 10℃～40℃.
