3.2 Connection
3.2.1 ECG Cable/Lead Wires Connection

ECG measurement is to collect the ECG signal via the ECG electrodes. Electrode connects the patient and the
lead wires and/or ECG cable. The lead wires and/or cable connect to the monitor. The locations of the electrodes
are very important for obtaining accurate ECG signals.
1. Connect the cable to the connector marked with the “ECG" icon on the signal input panel.
2. Select electrodes to be used. Use only one type of electrode on the same patient to avoid variations in
electrical resistance. For ECG monitoring, it is strongly recommended to use silver/silver chloride
electrodes. When dissimilar metals are used for different electrodes, the electrodes may be subject to large
offset potentials due to polarization. Using dissimilar metals may also increase recovery time after
defibrillation.
3. Prepare the electrode sites according to the electrode manufacturer’s instructions.

4. Skin clean
 Clean and scrap skin to ensure low sensor impedance if necessary. Mild soap and Water is
recommended as a skin cleanser.
Note: If alcohol is used as cleanser, it is recommended to have 30-second dry time for a better
connection.

 Scraping the skin gently with a dry wash cloth, gauze, for skin preparation is helpful to remove the
non-conductive skin layer.

The symbol indicates that the cable and accessories are designed to have special protection against
electric shocks and is defibrillator-proof.
The locations of the electrode are in the following Figure:

Safety Instructions for ECG Monitoring

 Patient Monitor can only be equipped with ECG cable and/or lead wires provided by our company;
using ECG cable and/or lead wires supplied by other companies may cause improper performance or
poor protection while using defibrillator.
 Using the same type of qualified and authorized electrodes which should be within its effective life on
the same patient. If any side-effect such as allergic or stimulus skin is found, the measurement should
be stopped at once. It is prohibited to apply the electrode to the patient with lesion and body
putrescence.
 To the patient with pacemaker, due to that this device has been designed to provide function of
pacemaker pulse inhibition for heart beat identification, normally the pacemaker pulse is not counted in
heart rate measurement and calculation, but when the pulse width of the pacemaker pulse is larger than
2ms, the pacemaker pulse inhibition may not be fully effective. In order to reduce this possibility,
observe the ECG waveforms on the screen carefully and do NOT rely entirely on the heart rate display
and alarm system of this monitor when monitoring this kind of patients. Keep pacemaker patient under
close surveillance.
 The improper connection with electrosurgical unit may not only cause burns, but also damage the
monitor or arouse deviations of measurement. You can take some steps to avoid this situation, such as
do NOT use small ECG electrodes, choosing the position which is far away from the estimated
Hertzian waves route, using larger electrosurgical return electrodes and connecting them with the
patient properly.
 Electric parts of electrodes, leads and cable are forbidden to contact any other conductive parts
(including ground).
 Patient Monitor can resist against defibrillator and electrosurgical unit. Readings may be inaccurate for
a short time after or during using defibrillator or electrosurgical unit.
 Transient caused by cable circuitry blocks while monitoring may be similar to the real heartbeat
waveform, as a result resistance heart rate alarm rings. If the electrodes and cable are located in proper
places according to this manual’s instructions and the instructions for using electrode, the chance of
this transient occurrence will be decreased.
 ECG cable and/or lead wires may be damaged while using defibrillator. If the cable and/or lead wires
are used again, please do the functional check firstly.
 When the monitor is inoperable due to overload of ECG or saturation of any part of the amplifier, it will
prompt “Lead off” to remind operator.
 The user should ensure that no predictable hazard will be caused by the summation of leakage currents
when several item of monitor are interconnected.
 When plugging or unplugging the ECG cable, be sure to hold the head of the connector and pull it out.

3.2.2 Cuff Connection for Blood Pressure Measurement

1. Connect the tube with cuff to the connector marked with “NIBP” icon on the signal input panel.
2. Unfold the cuff and wrap it around the patient’s upper arm.
Requirements of the cuff:
1) Appropriate cuff should be selected according to the age and arm circumference of the subject. Its width
should be 2/3 of the length of the upper arm. The inflatable part should be long enough to permit
wrapping appropriately 80% of the limb.

Note: the appropriate cuff should be selected according to the age and arm circumference of the patient.

-8-
 User manual for Patient Monitor

2) When putting on the cuff, unfold and wrap it around the upper arm evenly to appropriate tightness.
3) Remember to empty the residual air in the cuff before the measurement is commenced.
4) Locate the cuff in such a way that the artery mark “ ” is at a location where the clearest pulsation of
brachial artery is observed.
5) The cuff should be tightened to a degree where insertion of one finger is allowed.
6) The lower end of the cuff should be 2cm above the elbow joint.

The symbol indicates that the cable and accessories are designed to have special protection against
electric shocks, and is defibrillator proof.
 Pressure Accuracy Verification
Pressure Accuracy Verification is a function to inspect the accuracy of pressure measurement by the NIBP
module inside the device. Technician or equipment manager should do pressure accuracy verification every
half year or year in order to check if the pressure measurement still conforms to the requirement of product
performance. If the deviation is beyond the declared specification, it is permitted to return it to factory for
repair or calibration.
Before verification, please connect the monitor to a precision pressure meter as the reference
equipment like a mercury pressure meter

-9-
 User manual for Patient Monitor

Figure 3.7 Connection of Pressure Accuracy Verification Fixture

Mode 1: Automatic inflation for the pressure accuracy verification

At this mode, the monitor can activate the inflation, so the pressure will increase automatically until it
exceeds the limit value specified in table A. This pressure limit value depends on the patient type selection
as shown in table A:

Adult 240mmHg

Pediatric 200mmHg

Neonate 120mmHg
Table A
During the inflation, the Monitor will close the deflating valve, and the pressure value will be shown
during the process. If there is no manual deflation operation, the pressure will persist until deflation by
manual operation, so it is necessary to use a manual valve for doing adequate deflation in several steps
to verify the pressure accuracy in the full scale of measurement range.
Mode 2: Manual inflation for the pressure accuracy verification.
At this mode, the pressure should be increased manually by a pumping balloon, and the verification can be
done by applying different pressure value manually. If the increased pressure exceeds the given limit as
shown in table B, the Monitor will deflate automatically because of over-pressure protection.

Adult 300mmHg

Pediatric 240mmHg

Neonate 140mmHg
Table B
 After the verification, do press the button again to return to normal working mode, then
continue other operation, or the NIBP key will be invalid.
 Pressure accuracy verification must be operated by technician or equipment manager. Doctor or
nurse is not allowed to do the verification, it is very dangerous especially when the pressure cuff
is still on patients.
 Air Leakage Check

-10-
 User manual for Patient Monitor

In order to avoid significant error of blood pressure measurement or even no measurement result caused by
air leakage in the pneumatic system including the cuff during measuring, it is recommended to check if there
is leak in the pneumatic system as well.
 Please remove the cuff from patient while performing the leakage check.
Safety Instructions for NIBP Measurement
 When taking the blood pressure measurement on a Pediatric or Neonate patient, do NOT
operate in the Adult mode. The high inflation pressure may cause lesion or even body
putrescence. Even though the monitor can identify the cuff type so it will stop inflation and
indicate "wrong cuff" when taking the blood pressure measurement for a pediatric or neonate
in the "adult" patient type setting. The user (doctor or nurse) should pay more attention to
select the correct patient type.
 It is recommended to take the blood pressure measurement manually.
 NIBP monitoring is prohibited to those who have severe hemorrhagic tendency or with sickle
cell disease, or partial bleeding will appear.
 Do NOT bind NIBP cuff on limbs with transfusion tube or intubations or skin lesion area,
otherwise, damages may be caused to the limbs.
 If the patient is moving or suffering tremble, hyperkinesia or arrhythmia, it may cause the
inflation time of inflatable balloon endures longer, which may not only prolong the NIBP
measurement time, but also result in the body wrapped by the cuff is troubled by purpura,
hypoxemia and neuralgia because of the friction.
 Before the measurement is carried out, select an appropriate monitoring mode depending on the
patient type (adult, pediatric or neonate).
 It is prohibited to wrap the cuff to a limb with skin lesion
 DO NOT take blood pressure measurement from a limb receiving ongoing transfusion or
intubations. Because it may damage the limb tissue around the intubation if the transfusion
becomes slower or blocked during the cuff inflation.
 The windpipe which connects the cuff and monitor should be straightway without any tangle.
 When an adult subject is monitored, the machine may fail in giving the blood pressure measure
if the pediatric mode is selected.
 Prior to use of the cuff, empty the cuff until there is no residual air inside it to ensure accurate
measurement.
 Do NOT twist the cuff tube or put heavy things on it.
 When unplugging the cuff, hold the head of the connector and pull it out.
 The NIBP measurement will not be affected when the monitor is connected to the patient on
whom the electrosurgical device such as defibrillator or electrosurgical knife with high frequency
is being used.
 The appearance of arrhythmia results in irregular heart beat which may affect the accuracy of
NIBP measurement data. It is recommended to take the NIBP measurement again at this
situation.
 The Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained
by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultatory method, within the limits prescribed
by the American National Standard, Manual, electronic, or automated sphygmomanometers.

The symbol indicates that the cable and accessories are designed to have special protection against
electric shocks, and is defibrillator proof.

please contact your local representative.

Creative reusable SpO2 finger clip sensor can be used with a compatible patient monitor (e.g. all models of
Patient Monitors and PC-900A Vital Signs Monitor made by Creative) or pulse oximeters (e.g. PC-66B Handheld
Pulse Oximeter made by Creative).

The sensor is intended to be used for continuous, non-invasive functional arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and
pulse rate monitoring for adult patients weighing greater than 40kg or pediatric patients weighing between
10~40kg.

SpO2 probe is a kind of very delicate sensor. Please follow the steps and procedures in operating it. Failure to
operate it correctly can cause damage to the SpO2 probe.
Operation procedure:
1. Connect the SpO2 probe to the connector marked with “SpO2” icon on the signal input panel. When
unplugging the probe, be sure to hold the head of the connector and pull it out.

2. Insert one finger (index finger is preferred, but middle or ring finger with proper nail length is possible as well)
into the probe according to the finger mark on the probe, shown as below.

Figure 3.8A Demonstration of Adult/Pediatric SpO2 Finger Clip Sensor

(A) With the upper and lower jaws open, place a finger evenly on the base of the clip. Push the finger tip against
the stop so that it is over the sensor window.
(B) Spread open the rear tabs of the sensor to provide even force over the length of the pads.
(C) The sensor should be oriented in such a way that the cable is positioned along the top of the hand.

Figure 3.8C Neonate SpO2 sensor placement

Some factors may affect the accuracy of saturation measurements. Such factors include: excessive patient motion,
fingernail polish, use of intravascular dyes, excessive light, poorly perfused finger, extreme finger sizes or
improper placement of the sensor.

High ambient light sources such as surgical lights (especially those with a xenon light source), bilirubin lamps,
fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, and direct sunlight can interfere with the performance of a SpO2 sensor.

-13-
 User manual for Patient Monitor

To prevent interference from ambient light, ensure that the sensor is properly applied, and cover the sensor site
with opaque material if necessary. Failure to take this action in high ambient light conditions may result in
inaccurate measurements.

If patient movement presents a problem, verify that the sensor is properly and securely applied; move the sensor
to a less active site; use an adhesive sensor that tolerates some patient motion; or use a new sensor with fresh
adhesive backing.

For reusable sensors, follow the sensor directions for use, cleaning and reuse. For single-patient use sensors, use a
new sensor for each patient.

Caution: Do not disinfect any SpO2 sensor by irradiation, steaming, or ethylene oxide.
Safety Introductions for SpO2 Monitoring

 Continuous use of fingertip SpO2 sensor may result in discomfort or pain, especially for those
patients with microcirculatory problem. It is recommended that the sensor should NOT be
applied to the same site for over two hours, please inspect the monitoring site every 1~2
hours for skin integrity, and change the measuring site periodically if necessary.
 SpO2 measuring site must be examined more carefully for some special patient. Do NOT place
the SpO2 sensor on the finger with edema or fragile tissue.
 Avoid placing the SpO2 sensor on the same extremity with an arterial catheter, blood pressure
cuff, or intravascular infusion line, otherwise the blood flow could be interrupted by the
cuff or the circulatory condition could make low blood perfusion so that would result in on
pulse found or loss of pulse during SpO2 monitoring and further cause false alarm.
 Do not apply tape to secure the sensor in place or to tape it shut; venous pulsation
may lead to inaccurate oxygen saturation measurements.
 For disposal SpO2 sensor, If the sterile packaging is damaged, do not use it any more.
 Check the SpO2 sensor and cable before use. Do NOT use the damaged SpO2 sensor.
Before each use, surface-clean sensor and cable with a soft gauze pad by saturating it with a solution
such as 70% isopropyl alcohol. If low-level disinfection is required, use a 1:10 bleach solution.
When the temperature of SpO2 sensor is abnormal, do not use it any more.
 Please do not allow the cable to be twisted or bended.
 Please do not use nail polisher or other cosmetic product on the nail.
 The fingernail should be of normal length.
 The SpO2 sensor cannot be immerged into water, liquor or cleanser completely, because the sensor has
no capability to resist the harmful ingress water.
Carefully route cables to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
Do not use the sensor or other oximetry sensors during MRI scanning.

Our company offers a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects for the SpO2

4.1.3 Alarm Modes

1. When an alarm occurs, the patient monitor provides visible and audible alarm indications (which
are shown by three ways: auditory alarm, light alarm and message description or numerical flash
alarm). The detail is defined as follows:
 auditory alarm: are represented by loud speaker in monitor.
 light alarm: are represented by flashing LEDs on the upper side of monitor.
 message description or numerical flash alarm: are represented by waveform on the left display
area or parameters display on the right area of the screen respectively.
2. In order to inform the alarm quickly and accurately to users It is suggested that the distance
between users and device should not exceed 4m. And the condition of clear alarm indication is
when the distance within 1m (no block exists between the device and user)
3. if occurrence of multiple alarm signal at the same time, the monitor will give out alarm which has
much more alarm signals alternative auditory alarm and light alarm. Meanwhile, message
description or numerical flash alarm will be shown respectively in the form of words or numerical
value.
4. The difference between pulse beep sound and alarm sound is shown below:
 Pulse beep sound: frequency is 300Hz, including SpO2 sound and HR beep sound.
 Alarm sound: please refer to Technical Specifications description.

4.1.4 Alarm Setting

1、 Except volume of audible alarm can be adjustable, the other properties of the alarm cannot be adjusted
by the user, such as alarm priority setting, alarm light flashing and so on. In addition, all alarms in this
patient monitor are “non-latched” type, that is to say, when the alarm event disappears, the
corresponding alarm will automatically stop. The alarm volume range is shown as below:
 High: 45dB～80dB (The distance between device front and test instrument is 1m)
 Medium: 45dB～75dB (The distance between device front and test instrument is 1m)
 Low: 45dB～70dB (The distance between device front and test instrument is 1m)
2、 When the icon displays on the screen and its color is red, that means the alarm volume is 0 (alarm
is mute), at this time the user should pay more attention to the patient.
 It is suggested that the users should not change the alarm volume lower than the factory default setting
if close and constant attention could not be paid to the patient, otherwise the negligence of alarm event
might cause irreversible harm to the patient.
 During the alarm silence period, any new alarm event can activate the audible alarm again and the
audible alarm function resumes normal state.
3、 Alarm settings are non-volatile, that means the previous settings will still sustain if the patient monitor
is powered off (by accidental power interrupt or by normal power down) and reboot.

4.2 Alarm Technical Specifications

When an alarm occurs, the monitor responds with visual alarm indications (which are shown by two
ways: alarm indicator and alarm message description) and audible alarm indications.

Visual Alarm Indicators

Chapter 7 Working Principles

7.1 Introduction to ECG Measurement
7.1.1 How to Obtain High Quality ECG and Accurate Heart Rate Value
The electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is primarily a tool for evaluating the electrical events within the heart. The
action potentials of cardiac-muscle cells can be viewed as batteries that cause charge to move throughout the body
fluids. These currents represent the sum of the action potentials occurring simultaneously in many individual cells
and can be detected by recording electrodes at the surface of the skin. The figure below shows the system of the
heart.

First of all, the hospital should be equipped with a 100~250V power supply system with a typical grounding wire.
If big interference in ECG continues, connect one end of the grounding wire provided with this equipment to the
grounding wire on the back panel of this monitor, and the other end to the special grounding wire, water pipe or
radiator.
A common ECG plate electrode used together with this monitor has short shelf life. Generally, the shelf life is
only one month after the package is opened. When outdated plate electrode is used, due to skin’s contact
impedance and big electrode potential, the chance of interference will be increased, and the ECG baseline will
have an unstable inclination. Therefore, always use valid plate electrodes.
7.1.2 Factors affecting ECG signal
 Interference from Electrosurgical Unit;
 Doesn’t filter the interference waveform;
 Poor grounding;
 Electrodes are not placed properly;
 Use expired electrode or use disposable electrode repeatedly;
 The skin placed electrode is unclean or poor contract caused by scurf and hair;
 Electrode long-time used.

7.2 Introduction to Blood Pressure Measurement

7.2.1 Blood Pressure Measuring Principle
Blood pressure may be measured in an invasive way (whereby the sensor will be inserted into blood vessel
directly) or a non-invasive way. The non-invasive way includes several methodologies, such as the Korotkoff
Sound Method and oscillating method. The Korotkoff Sound Method is used as a conventional way, whereby
stethoscope is used to measure the blood pressure. By the oscillating method, an inflation pump will fill the air,
and release it slowly. A computer will record change of the cuff pressure when the air is released. With this
record, the blood pressure value will be determined. First of all, make sure the signal quality judgment by
computer meets the requirements of accurate calculation (such as sudden limb movement or cuff being hit during
the measurement). If the answer is negative, give up the calculation. If the answer is positive, proceed with
calculation of the blood pressure value.

As change of the blood pressure is recorded by electric sensor, which sensitivity is much higher than that of
human ears, the oscillating method uses different definitions for measurement of diastolic pressure and systolic
pressure from the Korotkoff Sound Method. When the oscillating method is used, the circuit in the measuring
apparatus will separate the amplitude of the cuff pressure from its change with pulsation. The blood pressure at
amplitude of cuff pressure forward reduced according to proper proportion is defined as systolic pressure, while
the blood pressure at amplitude of cuff pressure backward reduced according to proper proportion is defined as
diastolic pressure. The maximum change of pulse pressure occurs at these two points. They are equivalent to the
point with pulse sound and the point without pulse sound respectively in the Korotkoff Sound Method.

When the risk of invasive monitoring method outweighs its advantage of accuracy, non-invasive monitoring
method shall be used.

Comparison between blood pressure measuring methods

To overcome the effect of human hearing variation and air release speed on measurement accuracy when the
conventional Korotkoff Sound Method is used to take measure of blood pressure, people have been dedicated to
study of automatic measurement of blood pressure. By now, automatic blood pressure measuring system based
on the principle of oscillating method is mature. In practice, however, various problems are encountered, such as
why the measures taken by the oscillating method is lower or higher than those taken by Korotkoff Sound
Method? Why the measures are inclined to decline? Why, in some cases, no result is obtained in spite of the
inflation actions? Why the measure values have big discreteness and even abnormal data in some cases? Why the
SpO2 waveforms may disappear suddenly? ...and so on. The following explanations are devised to give the
answers.

The Oscillating method vs. the Korotkoff Sound Method

Blood pressure measurement by the oscillating method and Korotkoff Sound Method has good correlation with
the invasive measurement. Notwithstanding, any of the non-invasive blood pressure measurements has its
one-sidedness when it is compared to the invasive measurement. The oscillating method has its advantages over
the Korotkoff Sound Method in less error, higher reliability and stability. Their differences may be reflected in the
following aspects.
1. The measures by the Korotkoff Sound Method are liable to effect of human factors. For example,
different people may have different sound judging ability, or different reactivity when listening to heart
sound and reading mercury meter. The air release speed and subjectivity may also affect the judgment.
By the oscillating method, the computation is accomplished by the computer, thus relieving the
possibility of effect due to human factor.

-34-
 User manual for Patient Monitor

2. With the Korotkoff Sound Method, the measure is taken on the basis of appearance and disappearance of
heart sound. The air release speed and heart rate may have direct effect on the measurement accuracy. It
also has the disadvantages of rapid air release and poor accuracy. In the contrast, with the oscillating
method, the determination is calculated on the basis of cuff pressure oscillatory waveform envelope,
and the air release speed and heart rate has little effect on the measurement accuracy.
3. Statistics show that, when measuring the hypertension, the measure taken by the oscillating method is
likely to be lower than that taken by the Korotkoff Sound Method. When measuring the hypotension, the
measure taken by the oscillating method is likely to be higher than that by the Korotkoff Sound Method.
But, it doesn’t mean the advantages or disadvantages between the oscillating method and the Korotkoff
Sound Method. Comparison with the results taken by more accurate method, let’s say comparison of the
invasive pressure result with the output value by the blood pressure measuring simulator, will show
which method has more accurate results. In addition, higher or lower value should be a statistical concept.
It is recommended those used to adopt the Korotkoff Sound Method use different physiological
calibration for values determined by the oscillating method.
4. The studies have shown that the Korotkoff Sound Method has the worst accuracy when it comes to
measurement of hypotension, while the oscillating method has worse accuracy when it comes to
measurement of controlled hypertension relief.

7.2.2 Factors affecting NIBP measuring

Like common non-invasive blood pressure measurement, improper operation may cause inaccurate or blank result
or misunderstanding of the measuring information when the oscillating method is used to take the measure of
blood pressure. This point needs particular attention of the operators.
1. Requirements of the cuff:
1) Appropriate cuff should be selected according to the age of the subject. For more information, see
Chapter 3.
2) Remember to empty the residual air in the cuff before the measurement is commenced.
3) Locate the cuff in such a way that the artery mark “ ” is at a location where the clearest pulsation of
brachial artery is observed.
4) The cuff should be tightened to a degree where insertion of one finger is allowed.
5) The lower end of the cuff should be 2cm above the elbow joint.
2. The subject should lie on the back so that the cuff and the heart are in a horizontal position and the most
accurate measure is taken. Other postures may lead to inaccurate measurement.
3. Do not speak or move before or during the measurement. Care should be taken so that the cuff will not
be hit or touched by other objects. The air tube which connects the cuff and monitor should be
straightway without any tangle.
4. The measures should be taken at appropriate intervals. Continuous measurement at too short intervals
may lead to pressed arm, reduced blood flow and lower blood pressure, and resulting inaccurate measure
of blood pressure. It is recommended the measure be taken at intervals of more than two minutes.
5. With the oscillating method, when blood pressure is measured, the inflation pressure of the cuff will be
automatically adjusted according to the previous measure. Generally, the initial inflation pressure is
180mmHg (for the adult mode) or 100mmHg (for the pediatric mode) or 80 mmHg (for the neonate
mode) when it is powered on. Following that, 50mmHg (for the adult mode) or 30mmHg (for pediatric
mode) or 10mmHg (for the neonate mode) will be added on the basis of the last measurement of systolic
pressure. In this way, when the blood pressure rises or the subject is changed, the blood pressure meter
may fail in giving the result after the first-time inflation. This monitor will automatically adjust the

-35-
 User manual for Patient Monitor

inflation pressure until the measure is taken, after that, up to four measures will be allowed.
6. When an adult subject is monitored, the machine may fail in giving the blood pressure measure if the
Pediatric or neonate is selected.
7. When taking NIBP measurement on pediatric patients, the operator must select correct mode depending
on different patient types (refer to NIBP menu setup) and do NOT operate in the adult mode. The high
inflation pressure for adult is not suitable for pediatric patients.

7.2.3 Clinical Limitations

1. Serious angiospasm, vasoconstriction, or too weak pulse.
2. When extremely low or high heart rate or serious arrhythmia of the subject occurs. Especially auricular
fibrillation will lead to unreliable or impossible measurement.
3. Do not take the measurement when the subject is connected with an artificial heart-lung machine.
4. Do not take the measurement when the subject uses diuresis or vasodilator.
5. When the subject is suffering from major hemorrhage, hypovolemic shock and other conditions with
rapid blood pressure change or when the subject has too low body temperature, the reading will not be
reliable, for reduced peripheral blood flow will lead to reduced arterial pulsation.
6. Subject with hyperadiposis;
In addition, statistics show that 37% people report blood pressure difference of no less than 0.80kPa(6mmHg)
between the left and right arms, and 13% people report difference of no less than 1.47kPa (11mmHg).

Note: Some practitioners may report big discreteness or abnormal value of the blood pressure measures
when the oscillating method is used. As a matter of fact, the so-called “big discreteness” must be a term in
the sense of statistical significance of mass data. Abnormal data may be observed in some individual cases.
It is normal in the scientific experiments. It may be caused by an apparent reason, or by an unknown
factor in some cases. Such individual doubtful experimental data may be identified and eliminated using
the special statistical technique. It is not a part of this manual. The practitioner may eliminate the
apparently unreasonable data according to the experience.
Operation Introduction:
1. Take a measurement in manual mode:
 Enter into the screen of NIBP setting, select “Mode” option and set it as “MANU”, and then press
the NIBP key on the front panel to start measure. If press the NIBP key again, the measurement
will be stopped.

7.3 Introduction to Oxygen Saturation Measurement

7.3.1 SpO2 Measuring Principle
Based on Lamber-Beer law, the light absorbance of a given substance is directly proportional with its density
or concentration. When the light with certain wavelength emits on human tissue, the measured intensity of
light after absorption, reflecting and attenuation in tissue can reflect the structure character of the tissue by
which the light passes. Due to that oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO2) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (Hb) have
different absorption character in the spectrum range from red to infrared light (600nm~1000nm wavelength),
by using these characteristics, SpO2 can be determined. SpO2 measured by this monitor is the functional
oxygen saturation -- a percentage of the hemoglobin that can transport oxygen. In contrast, hemoximeters
report fractional oxygen saturation – a percentage of all measured hemoglobin, including dysfunctional
hemoglobin, such as carboxyhemoglobin or metahemoglobin.

-36-
 User manual for Patient Monitor

7.3.2 SpO2 Measurement Restrictions (interference reason)

1. The fingers should be properly placed (see the attached illustration of this instruction manual), or else it
may cause inaccurate measurement result.
2. Make sure that capillary arterial vessel beneath the finger is penetrated through by red and infrared
lights.
3. The SpO2 sensor should not be used at a location or limb tied with arterial or blood pressure cuff or
receiving intravenous injection.
4. Do not fix the SpO2 sensor with adhesive tape, or else it may result in venous pulsation and
consequential inaccurate measurement result of SpO2.
5. Make sure the optical path is free from any optical obstacles like adhesive tape.
6. Excessive ambient light may affect the measuring result. It includes fluorescent lamp, dual ruby light,
infrared heater, and direct sunlight etc.
7. Strenuous action of the subject or extreme electrosurgical interference may also affect the accuracy.
8. Please do not use the SpO2 sensor when having the MRI, or burn may be caused by faradism.
9. Always observe the plethysmogram (waveform), which is auto-scaled within the range of 100. The SpO2
reading may be unlikely true when the waveform is not smooth or irregular. If in doubt, rely on your
clinical judgment, rather than the monitor readout
10. A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of the pulse oximeter monitor or a SpO2 sensor.
However, a functional tester, such as SpO2 simulator can be used to check how accurately a particular
pulse oximeter is reproducing the given calibration curve. Before testing the oximeter by a functional
tester, please firstly ask the manufacturer which calibration curve is used, if necessary, request the
manufacturer for its dedicated calibration curve and download it into the tester.
Clinical Limit
1. As the measure is taken on the basis of arteriole pulse, substantial pulsating blood stream of subject is
required. For a subject with weak pulse due to shock, low ambient/body temperature, major bleeding, or
use of vascular contracting drug, the SpO2 waveform (PLETH) will decrease. In this case, the
measurement will be more sensitive to interference.
2. For those with a substantial amount of staining dilution drug (such as methylene blue, indigo green and
acid indigo blue), or carbon monoxide hemoglobin (COHb), or methionine (Me+Hb) or thiosalicylic
hemoglobin, and some with icterus problem, the SpO2 determination by this monitor may be inaccurate.
3. The drugs such as dopamine, procaine, prilocaine, lidocaine and butacaine may also be a major factor
blamed for serious error of SpO2 measurements.
4. As the SpO2 value serves as a reference value for judgment of anemic anoxia and toxic anoxia, the
measurement result of some patients with serious anemia may also present as good SpO2 value.
Note: The clinical study for SpO2 measurement accuracy was done on the subjects including Male and
Female with skin color including Medium, light medium, light and dark ， No subject was anemic
(Hemoglobin≤10 gm·d1-1) and only healthy non-smoking individuals were tested, their age rang was from
21-49.

7.4 Introduction to Respiration Measurement

7.4.1 Respiration Measuring Principle

The air will be filled into alveolus or be expelled during respiration, and the chest’s volume changes with
this process. Because the conductivity of air is lower than body tissues, the chest’s impedance will be
changed by the inflation. With this specialization, the respiration can be monitored through putting safe

-37-
 User manual for Patient Monitor

current into body and measuring the change of voltage between the electrodes. The product will transmit the
high-frequency current whose frequency is much higher than ECG frequency (but with the safe current limit)
to the ECG electrodes (placed at the both sides of chest), which can be detect ECG signal and chest’s
impedance at the same time, and the respiratory rate will be measured through impedance method by the
software. So the additional electrodes for respiratory measurement are unnecessary.

7.4.2 Factors affecting respiration monitoring

 Respiration monitoring doesn’t support monitoring the patient who do much movement, or may lead to
false alarm.

7.5 Introduction to Temperature Measurement

The sensor is thermo-resistor type (25°C 5kΩ) and is supplied with constant micro current. Calculating the
temperature of measured part through measuring the voltage. There is a period responding time, so the
accurate temperature value display after a while. The temperature monitoring can be divided into two
measuring method: measure through body surface temperature (placed in).

Normal value: body surface: 36.5°C ~37°C;

Notes:

 Attach the TEMP transducer to the patient; generally if the TEMP transducer and skin doesn’t contact
closely, the measured value becomes lower, so for those who have requirement for temperature, add a
proper martial to transducer and fix it with adhesive tape to make them contact firmly.
 Especially for pediatric patient, they like sports, pay more attention to the transducer fixing.

7.6 Introduction to Capnograph Measurement

7.6.1 CO2 Measuring Principle
The principle is based on the fact that CO2 molecules absorb infrared light energy of specific wavelengths, with
the amount of energy absorbed being directly related to the CO2 concentration. When an IR light beam is passed
through a gas sample containing CO2, the electronic signal from a photodetector (which measures the remaining
light energy), can be obtained. This signal is then compared to the energy of the IR source, and calibrated to
accurately reflect CO2 concentration in the sample. To calibrated, the photodetector’s response to a known
concentration of CO2 is stored in the monitor’s memory.
The monitor determines CO2 concentration in the breathing gases by measuring the amount of light absorbed by
these gases.EtCO2 is display as a numerical value in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), percent (%), or kilopascals
(kPa). In addition, a CO2 waveform (capnogram) may be displayed which is a valuable clinical tool that can be
used to assess patient airway integrity and proper endotracheal tube placement. Respiration rate is calculated by
measuring the time interval between detected breaths.

7.6.2 Mainstream vs. Sidestream Sampling

Mainstream CO2 sensors are placed at the airway of an intubated patient, allowing the inspired and expired gas to
pass directly across the IR light path. The major advantages of mainstream sensors are fast response time and
elimination of water traps.

-38-
 User manual for Patient Monitor

Sidestream CO2 sensors are located away from the airway, requiring a gas sample to be continuously aspirated
from the breathing circuit and transported to the sensor by means of a pump. This type of system is needed for
non-intubated patients.
When using mainstream CO2 sensors, check the window for the patient secretions pooled on periodically.
Because that condition may affect the accuracy of the measurement or even make the sensor not work.
When using sidestream CO2 sensors, there is a water trap or a part of the sampling tube with dehumidifying
function. Please periodically check the flow sensor and tubing for excessive moisture or secretion buildup.
