 Configuration Management

Note
 Upon startup or to admit a new patient, you need to check the current configuration of the
monitor. This can be viewed in [Load Config]. The configuration name marked with the symbol
—> in front is the currently loaded configuration.
 Use of different configurations on monitors in the same department (e.g., ICU or Cardiac OR)
may result in danger.
 Make sure the configuration you select is appropriate for the patient being monitored.
 When the monitor is switched to another department, you need to admit the patient, change the
patient type, and load the corresponding default factory configuration.
 The monitor can memorize system configuration.

[Save as User Config]: You can save the current configuration as a user config file by entering a config file
name. The config file name can consist of alphanumeric characters or underscore (_), but cannot be empty. If
the name you have entered is already used by another config file, the system will prompt whether you want to
overwrite that config file. The system can save at most 3 user config files.

[Delete Config]: Delete user configs currently saved in the monitor. In this menu, all user config files saved
under the current department are listed, with patient type in brackets added after each config file name. For
example, John (ADU) indicates that the config file “John” is saved when the patient type is ADU.

[Load Config]: The monitor supports up to 6 configurations for one department. Configurations available for
loading include the default factory configurations for the current patient type, user-defined configurations, and
configurations imported from the USB flash drive. Patient type is marked after the user-defined configuration.
After you load configurations, they will replace the current configurations and become effective.

Enter [Load Config]: enter [Main Menu] or [Config Manage] → [Load Config].

[Import Config from USB]: You can import configurations from a USB flash drive if there are less than 6
configurations for the current department in the system.

[Export Config to USB]: Export user-defined configurations in the system to a USB flash drive.
[Startup Configuration]: you can set up the configuration adopted by the monitor when it restarts.
But after the monitor powers off, the configurations will be set according to the following. With 120s after
powering off, the monitor will automatically set the latest configurations; 120s later after powering off, the
monitor will set the configurations according to [Startup Configuration].

menu bar.

7.1 Admit

When a patient is connected to the monitor, the monitor can display and save the patient’s physiological data
even if the patient is not admitted. But correct patient admission is important for patient monitoring.
You can admit and discharge a patient in the [Patient Manage] window.
To admit a hospitalized patient:
1) Enter [Patient Manage] → [Admit].

2) If another patient has been admitted on the monitor, the prompt message [Discharge current patient &

admit new patient?] will be shown. Select [Yes] to discharge the existing patient. If no patient has been

admitted, the prompt message [Whether to apply the monitor data to the patient to be admitted?] will be

shown.

 [Yes]: Apply the monitor data to the new patient.

 [No]: Clear the stored data on the monitor.

3) Enter patient info in the [Patient Info] menu. Pay attention that [Pat Type] (Patient Type) and [Pace]

(Pacemaker) should be set up correctly. You can user EN or Handwriting input methods to enter

information.

 [Pat Type]: the options include [ADU] (Adult), [PED] (Pediatric), [NEO] (Neonatal). It is essential

to select the correct patient type, as it determines the algorithm used to calculate and process the

patient data, as well as certain safety limits and alarm limits applied to the patient.

 [Pace]: This setting determines whether the monitor displays pacemaker pulse. When [Pace] is set to

“ON” and pacemaker signal is detected, symbol will be shown above the ECG waveform, and

will be shown at the upper right corner of the message prompt area. When [Pace] is set to

“OFF”, no prompt message or symbol will be displayed, and pacemaker pulse will be filtered out.

 Patient Management

Fig. 7-1 Patient Info

Warning
 No matter whether a patient is admitted, the monitor assigns a default value to both [Pat
Type] and [Pace]. Make sure the settings in Patient Info are consistent with the patient’s
actual conditions prior to monitoring.
 When the patient type is changed, the system will load the factory default
configuration.Usually, the alarm limits should be verified before patient monitoring to ensure
that these alarm limits suit your patient. When the patient type is not changed, the current
configuration is not changed.
 If the patient is not implanted with a pacemaker, [Pace] should be set to “OFF”. Otherwise,
the system cannot detect arrhythmia related to ventricular premature beats (including PVCs
count), and ST segment analysis will not be carried out.
 If the patient is implanted with a pacemaker, [Pace] should be set to “ON”. Otherwise,
pacemaker pulse may be counted as normal QRS wave, resulting in failure to detect the “ECG
Lost” alarm.

7.2 Quick Admit

The Quick Admit mode can be used in emergency situation when there is not enough time to fill in patient
info. You must complete the patient info later.
1) Enter [Patient Manage] → [Quick Admit].

 Chapter 9 Alarms

When a patient under monitoring has abnormal vital signs, or when failure occurs in the monitor, the system
will give audio and visual alarm to remind the medical workers.
The alarm system functions in real-time monitoring mode. In standby mode, alarm sound and light will be
disabled.
When there are multiple alarms and prompt messages, each message will be displayed in turn.

Warning
 Use of different configuration on different monitors in one area (e.g., ICU or OR) may result in
danger to the patient.

9.1 Alarm Type

Alarms generated by the monitor are classified into physiological and technical alarms.
 Physiological alarm
A physiological alarm is generated when a certain physiological parameter of the patient is beyond the
high/low alarm limit or the patient has physiological disorder. Physiological alarm messages are displayed in
the physiological alarm area in the upper part of the screen.
 Technical alarm
A technical alarm, also known as a system error message, is triggered when a system function cannot work
normally or the monitoring result is unreasonable due to improper operation or system failure. A technical
alarm message is displayed in the technical alarm area in the upper part of the screen.

NOTE: In addition to physiological and technical alarms, the monitor also show messages about system status.
Generally, these messages shown in the system message area are not related to vital signs of the patient.

9.2 Alarm Level

Physiological and technical alarms are classified into high, medium and low-level alarms by severity.

The levels of all technical alarms (except ECG and SpO2) and some physiological alarms have been set before
delivery of the monitor and cannot be changed by the user. The levels of some physiological alarms can be
modified.

9.3 Alarm Mode

When an alarm is generated, the monitor will use the following alarm modes to alert the user:
Light Alarm
Sound Alarm
Alarm Message
Blinking Parameter
For light alarms, sound alarms and alarm messages, the alarm levels are differentiated in the following ways.

9.4 Light Alarm

Two alarm indicators at the upper left corner of the monitor indicate alarm levels with different light colors
and blinking frequencies.
Physiological Alarm:

High-level: Red, blinking.

Medium-level: Yellow, blinking.
Low-level: Yellow, remaining on
Technical Alarm:

High-level: Red, blinking.

Medium-level: Yellow, blinking.
Low-level: Yellow, remaining on.

9.5 Sound Alarm

The monitor indicates alarm levels with alarm sounds with different intervals.
High-level: beep-beep-beep--beep-beep----beep-beep-beep--beep-beep

9-2
 Alarms

Medium-level: beep-beep-beep
Low-level: beep

Warning
 Both the bedside monitor and the CMS are provided with sound alarm function.
 When this monitor is connected to the CMS, you can use the same upper and lower alarm limits
for the monitor and CMS. But if you enable alarm delay on this monitor, it will not give alarm
when the CMS has given an alarm.
 When multiple alarms of different levels are generated simultaneously, the monitor will activate
the warning sound and light for the highest-level alarm.

9.6 Alarm Message

Alarm messages are shown in the physiological alarm area or technical alarm area on the screen.
Different marks are added in front of physiological alarm messages to indicate the alarm levels:
High-level: ***
Medium-level: **
Low-level: *

Different background colors are used to indicate the alarm levels:

High-level: Red
Medium-level: Yellow
Low-level: Yellow

9.7 Alarm Parameter Blink

When a parameter reaches the alarm limit, the parameter and its upper and lower limits will blink once every
second, indicating the measured result is beyond the upper or lower limit.

9.8 Alarm Pause

You can press the key on the control panel (or the [Alm Pause] shortcut key on the screen) to quickly
enter the alarm pause state:
 Alarm sound, alarm light and alarm message are disabled for physiological alarms, and no physiological

alarms will be triggered.

 The physiological alarm message area shows the prompt message “Alm Pause XXXs”.

 Alarm sound and alarm light are disabled for technical alarms; if a new technical alarm is triggered, only

text prompt will be given.

9-3
 Alarms

 In the event of the “Battery Too Low” alarm, the alarm will be resumed automatically to give alarm

sound, alarm light and alarm message.

Every time the monitor is turned on, the system will enter the alarm pause state automatically. After the alarm

pause time (set by user) expires, the monitor will cancel alarm pause automatically; user can press the
key (or the [Alm Pause] shortcut key on the screen) to cancel alarm pause.
Operation steps for alarm pause:
1) Enter [User Maintain] → [Alarm Setup] → [Alm Pause Time].

2) Set the appropriate pause time: [1min], [2min], [3min], [5min], [10min], [15min].

9.9 Alarm OFF

The Alarm OFF function is effective just for physiological alarms. When the Alarm OFF function is activated,

the Alarm OFF sign will be shown on the left side below the corresponding parameter in the parameter
area:
 For physiological alarms, sound, light and text prompts will be disabled, and no new physiological

alarms will be triggered.

Operation steps:
1) Click the parameter value area to open the Setup menu, and then select [Alarm Limit Setup]. You can

also select the [Alarm Setup] shortcut key to directly enter [Alarm Limit Setup].

2) Select [All Alarm Off] to disable alarms against all parameters. If the alarm ON/OFF icon of a
parameter is switched to “OFF”, alarms for that parameter will be disabled.
To exit the alarm OFF state of all parameters, select [All Alarm On]; to exit the alarm OFF state of one
parameter, switch the alarm ON/OFF icon of that parameter to “ON”.

Warning
 If the alarm function is set to “OFF”, the monitor cannot trigger alarm when there is an alarm
condition. Therefore, the operator should use this function with caution.

9.10 Set Alarm Record

If the monitor is equipped with a recorder, the monitor will trigger output of the parameter waveform and
value by the recorder if all the following conditions are satisfied: when data of a parameter is abnormal; the
alarm switch is turned ON; and [Alm Record] is set to ON.
1) Enter [Main Menu] → [Alarm Setup] → [Alarm Record Setup].

2) Set [Alm Rec Time] to [8s] or [16s].

9-4
 Alarms

3) To activate alarm recording for a parameter, switch the alarm record icon to “ON”; to activate
alarm recording for all parameters, select [All Rec. On].

4) User can switch the alarm record icon to “OFF” to deactivate parameters requiring alarm record; to

deactivate all parameter alarm records, select [All Rec. Off].

9.11 Set Parameter Alarm

9.11.1 Set Alarm Limit

Colors of Alarm Limits

 Red represents high-level alarms

 Yellow represents medium-level alarms

 Cyan represents low-level alarms

Intelligent alarm gradation is a characteristic of our alarm system. For parameters of intelligent alarm
gradation, user can simultaneously set the alarm limit ranges of high, medium and low-level alarms without
setting alarm levels. When the measured parameter value is beyond the normal range, the monitor will
automatically judge which alarm level range the measured parameter value belongs to, and then will generate
an alarm of the corresponding level.
For parameters of general alarms, user needs to set the alarm level and can only set the alarm limits
corresponding to the alarm level selected. When the measured parameter value is beyond the normal range,
the monitor will generate an alarm only according to the alarm level selected. Intelligent alarm gradation is
available on ECG, NIBP, PR, AwRR and SpO2 (excluding Nellcor SpO2) and not available on other
parameter.
For parameters subject to intelligent alarm gradation, the alarm limit setup methods are basically the same.
Here ECG is taken as an example:
1) Select the ECG parameter area; enter the Setup menu → [Alarm Limit Setup].

2) Set the appropriate upper and lower limits for the parameter.

3) Switch the alarm ON/OFF icon to “ON”.

4) When setting is finished, select the Confirm key .

For parameters subject to general alarms, the alarm limit setup methods are basically the same. Here RESP is
taken as an example:
1) Select the RESP parameter area; enter the Setup menu → [Alarm Limit Setup].

2) Select the check box at the lower left corner of the Setup window for the corresponding parameter to
switch the alarm level.

3) Set the appropriate upper and lower limits for the parameter under the current level.

9-5
 Alarms

4) Switch the alarm ON/OFF icon to “ON”.

5) When setting is finished, select the Confirm key .

9.11.2 Set Auto Alarm Limit

The monitor can automatically set up the Auto Alarm Limits for the currently measured parameters according
to the patient type.
Before applying these alarm limits, make sure they are appropriate for the patient. If not, you need to
manually set the alarm limits.

Note
 When resetting to default factory configurations, alarm limits of the parameters will also
change. See Appendix IV “Default Configurations” for details.

Warning
 When setting alarm limits to extreme values, the alarm system may be useless.
 When setting upper and lower alarm limits, make sure the patient type is correct (ADU, PED
or NEO).
 If you have set up the upper and lower alarm limits manually, the monitor will display these
upper and lower alarm limits instead of the default alarm limits of the system.
 After powering off accidentally, the equipment will save the latest setting with 120s after
powering off, 120s later after powering off, the monitor will set the configurations according to
[Startup Configuration].

9.12 Set Alarm Delay

The system provides five options for parameter alarm delay: [Not Allowed], [5s], [10s], [15s] and [20s]. If
[Not Allowed] is selected, when the measured parameter is beyond the alarm limit, the monitor gives alarm
immediately. If [5s]/[10s]/[15s]/[20s] alarm delay is selected, the monitor gives alarm when the measured
parameter has been beyond the alarm limit for 5s, 10s, 15, 20s, respectively.
NOTE: Alarm delay cannot be applied to ECG and IBP.
Operation steps:
1) Enter [User Maintain] → [Alarm Setup] → [Alarm Delay].

2) Set the appropriate delay time.

 Alarms

9.13 Set Alarm Volume

9.13.1 Set Minimum Alarm Volume

Do not set the minimum alarm volume too low; otherwise, you cannot hear the alarm sound, which may put
the patient into danger. Follow the operation steps below to set up the minimum alarm volume:
1) Enter [User Maintain] → [Alarm Setup] → [Min. Alm Volume].

2) Set the appropriate value.

Note
 When the alarm volume is turned down, the alarm sound may go unheard; therefore, the

 Chapter 11 ECG Monitoring

11.1 Definition of ECG Monitoring

Electrocardiography (ECG) monitors continuous electrical activity of the patient’s heart, which is reflected on
the monitor in the form of wave and value, so as to accurately assess the current physiological status of the
patient. Therefore, you must make sure the ECG cables are connected properly to obtain correct measurement
values. The device can display 3-lead, 5-lead ECG or 12-lead ECG waves according to your need.

11.2 Precautions for ECG Monitoring

Warning
 During defibrillation, the operator should not come into contact with the patient, desk or
device.
 Prior to monitoring, please test the sensor cable to see if it is normal. When the ECG cable is
disconnected from the jack, the screen will display the prompt message “ECG Lead Off” and
generate the alarm sound.
 When this monitor is used for ECG signal monitoring, ECG leads provided by our company
must be used.
 When connecting the electrodes or patient cable, please ensure that the patient does not come
into contact with any other conductive parts or the ground. Especially, please confirm that all
ECG electrodes (including neutral electrode) are attached onto the patient’s body and will not
come into contact with any conductive parts or the ground.
 Check whether the ECG electrode patch can irritate skin every day. If there is any sign of
allergy, replace the electrode or change its position.
 Prior to ECG monitoring, please check the ECG cable. When the ECG cable is disconnected,
the monitor will trigger a sound alarm and display the alarm message “Sensor Off”.
 Pacemaker fault: When cardiac conduction is completely blocked or the pacemaker cannot be
moved away, P wave (> 1/5 of the mean height of R wave) may be wrongly recorded by the
device, causing failure to monitor cardiac arrest.
 Devices such as defibrillator and remote measurement unit will generate a filtered ECG signal.
When this signal is used as the input signal for bedside monitor, it will be filtered again. If such
signal after second filtering is transmitted to the arrhythmia algorithm, it may cause failure to
detect such conditions as pacemaker pulse, pacemaker capture failure or cardiac arrest. This
will degrade the performance of the device when it is used for monitoring patients implanted

11-1
 ECG Monitoring

with pacemakers.
 During defibrillation, the ECG cable connected to the patient may get damaged. To reuse such
cable, please check whether the cable function is OK.
 After defibrillation, if electrodes are used correctly and are attached properly according to the
manufacturer’s instructions, the waveforms on screen display will be recovered within 5s. For
electrosurgery or defibrillation, the measurement accuracy may be reduced temporarily, but
this will not affect the safety of the patient or the device.
 When the monitor is connected to an electrosurgical unit (ESU), in order to protect the patient
from injury caused by leakage current, the sensors and cables of the device should not come
into contact with the ESU.
 Do not expose the monitor to X-ray and high-intensity magnetic fields.

Note
 Interference from ungrounded devices near the patient and ESU interference may result in
wave problem. If the device is operated under conditions specified in EN60601-1-2 (radiation
resistance: 3V/m), electric field intensity over 1V/m may cause measurement errors at different
frequencies. Therefore, it is suggested not to use any electric radiation device in a place near
ECG/RESP measurement.
 If the ECG electrode is correctly placed but the ECG wave is still inaccurate, please replace the
leads.
 To protect the environment, please recycle and treat used electrode patches appropriately.

11.3 Monitoring Steps

11.3.1 Prepare Skin

Skin is a poor conductor. Therefore, to achieve good contact between electrodes and skin, it is very important
to prepare the patient’s skin:
1) Choose a skin area without any damage or abnormality.

2) When necessary, shave body hair at positions where electrodes will be placed.

3) Use soapsuds to thoroughly clean the skin. (Do not use diethyl ether or pure alcohol because these

substances may increase the skin impedance).

4) Air-dry the skin completely.

5) Use skin preparation paper for ECG to gently rub the skin, so as to remove dead skin and improve the

conductivity at the position where the electrode is attached.

11-2
 ECG Monitoring

11.3.2 Connect ECG Cable

1) First install the spring clip before placing the electrode.

2) Place the electrode on the patient’s body; if the electrode used does not contain conductive paste, please

apply conductive paste prior to placement.

3) Connect the electrode leads with the patient cable.

4) Insert the patient cable into the ECG port on the monitor. The monitor shows the ECG wave and value.

11.3.3 Install ECG Leads

The table below lists the names of leads in European and American standards, respectively. (RA, LA, RL, LL

11.3.3.3 Recommended ECG Lead Connection for Surgical Patient

Warning
 Use appropriate ECG cables in the OR. These cables can prevent patient burn and reduce
electronic interference through additional circuits. They are not suitable for RESP test.
 When using an ESU, never place electrodes close to the earth plate of the ESU; otherwise
there will be much interference against ECG signal.

The placement of ECG lead depends on the type of operation to be performed. For example, when a
thoracotomy is to be performed, the electrode can be placed on the side of the chest or on the back. In the OR,
artifacts may affect ECG wave due to the use of an ESU. In order to reduce artifacts, the electrodes can be
placed at the left and right shoulders, close to the left and right sides of the abdomen; the chest lead can be
placed left to the middle of the chest; avoid placing the electrode on the upper arm, or the ECG wave may
become very small.

Note
 To monitor a patient implanted with a pacemaker, [Pace] must be set to “On”. If it is set to
“Off”, pacemaker pulses may be counted as QRS complex, resulting in failure to detect the
cardiac arrest alarm. To change patient info or admit/discharge a patient, please check
whether [Pace] is set correctly.
 When monitoring a patient implanted with a pacemaker, sometimes a part of pacemaker
pulses cannot be shielded. If pacemaker pulses are counted as QRS complex, it will result in
wrong heart rate calculated and failure to detect cardiac arrest or some arrhythmia. At this
point, close attention should be paid to the condition of the patient implanted with a
pacemaker.

menu, turn on [Cascade]. The number of cascade waves displayed depends on the number of ECG waves
present in the current interface. The operation over one of the ECG waves also applies to other ECG waves.

Note
 Under the interface of [7-Lead Half Screen], [cascade] is not optional.

11.6 ST Segment Analysis

11.6.1 About ST Segment Analysis

Normal heartbeat and atrial pacing heartbeat are used in ST segment analysis. The monitor analyzes these
heartbeats and calculates the elevation and depression of ST segment. On the monitor, the info can be
displayed as ST value. All available leads can be monitored continuously. For ST segment analysis, it is
unnecessary to display ECG wave on the monitor. For ST segment analysis, special filter that can ensure the
diagnosis quality should be used during execution. If you use an ECG filter mode other than [ST] filter to
monitor ECG; the ST segment of ECG wave may be slightly different in appearance from the ST segment of
ST fragment having the same waveform. To perform diagnostic assessment of ST segment, please always
switch to the [ST] filter mode.
ST segment analysis can measure the elevation or depression of ST segment on the designated lead.
Meaning of ST segment measurement value: A positive number represents elevation; a negative number
represents depression.
ST segment measurement range: -2.0 ~ +2.0mV.

11-10
 ECG Monitoring

11.6.2 Influence on ST Segment

Some clinical situations may result in difficulty to achieve reliable ST monitoring. For example:
 Lead of low noise cannot be obtained.

 Presence of arrhythmia (e.g., atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter) that can cause irregular baseline.

 The patient is under continuous ventricular pacing.

 The patient has left bundle branch block.

Under such circumstances, you should consider turning off ST monitoring.

Warning
 This monitor provides info about changes in ST level, the clinical significance of which should
be determined by the doctor.

11.6.3 ST Analysis On/Off

1) Select the ECG parameter area to enter the Setup menu → [ST Analysis].

2) Select [ST Analysis], and switch it to “On” or “Off”.

11.6.4 Adjust ST Point

Set the reference point of ST measurement point as R wave crest point; the ST measurement value of the
complex wave of each heartbeat is the vertical distance difference between the wave crest point and the two
measuring points. See the figure below:

R wave

J Difference= ST value

ISO benchmark ST measurement point

Fig 11-6 ST Point

The ST measurement value of the complex wave of each heartbeat is the vertical distance between the
intersections of the wave and the two measuring points.

Note

11-11
 ECG Monitoring

 If the HR or ECG wave of the patient changes obviously, the position of ISO and ST points
should be adjusted. During ST segment analysis, abnormal QRS complex is not considered.
 Please ensure that the position of ST measuring point is suitable for the patient being
monitored.

Method for adjusting ISO and ST points:

1) Select the ECG parameter area to enter the Setup menu → [ST Analysis].

2) Set [ST Analysis] to [On].

3) Select [Adjust ST Point] to enter the [ST Analysis] window: three vertical lines are ISO, J and ST,

respectively.

4) Select the appropriate ST measurement lead; select [ST Lead] to switch the measurement lead.

5) Use other keys to adjust the corresponding measuring point.

 The cursor position of ISO point is related to R wave crest equipotential. Use to locate the ISO

point in the middle of the flattest position of baseline (between P and Q waves or in front of P wave).

 The cursor position of J point decides the relative position of J point and R wave crest. This can help user

to correctly locate the ST point. Use to place J point at the end of QRS complex and the beginning

of ST segment.

 Locate ST point:

 Select J+60, J+80 or J+40 to convert the value and move J point to locate ST point in the middle of ST

segment.
6) When setting is finished, select “ ” to exit the window.

11.7 Arrhythmia Analysis

Arrhythmia analysis is clinically used in patient ECG monitoring to detect HR changes and premature
ventricular contractions, save arrhythmia events and generate alarm messages. Arrhythmia analysis can be
used for monitoring patients implanted or not implanted with pacemakers. The doctor can evaluate the
patient’s condition (e.g., HR, PVCs (premature ventricular contractions) frequency, rhythm and abnormal
heartbeat) according to arrhythmia analysis, and carry out diagnosis and treatment on this basis. Apart from
detection of ECG changes, arrhythmia analysis can monitor the patient and give proper alarms.
The arrhythmia monitoring function of the monitor is Off by default. User can enable this function as needed.

11-13

11.7.4 Arrhythmia Review

See the “Alarm Event Review” chapter.

11.7.5 ARR Relearn

During ECG monitoring, when the ECG template of the patient changes significantly, user may need to start
an ARR Relearn process. ARR Relearn enables the monitor to learn new ECG templates, thus to correct
arrhythmia alarms and heart rhythm values.
1) Select the ECG parameter area to enter the Setup menu → [ARR Analysis].

2) Select [ARR Relearn]; the system will give the prompt message [ARR Learning].
User can also directly select the [ARR Relearn] quick key.

11.8 RR Intervals

The normal ECG waveform will not change much at RR intervals. However, when abnormal situation occurs
on the ECG of patients, the change at RR intervals would be obvious. This monitor will record the change at
RR intervals while monitoring the ECG of patients. Having monitored the ECG of patients, this monitor will
provide the maximum, average, minimum and standard deviation of the change at RR intervals to doctors for
judgement.

11-15
 ECG Monitoring

11.9 ECG Relearn

During ECG monitoring, if the patient’s ECG template changes significantly, you may need to manually start
an ECG Relearn process. Changes in the ECG template may result in:
 Arrhythmia alarm error

 ST measurement data loss

 Inaccurate HR value
Start relearning:
Select the ECG parameter area to enter the Setup menu → [Other Setup] → [Relearn].

Caution
 Please start ECG Relearn during normal rhythm and when ECG signal is relatively noiseless.
This is because ECG Relearn during the arrhythmia period may result in relearning the wrong
QRS complex as the ECG template.

11.10 Defibrillation Synchronization

The Defibrillation Synchronization function is to output +5V defibrillation synchronization signal during
100ms via the multi-function port every time the monitor detects R wave; such signal is for use by the
defibrillator. The Defibrillation Synchronization function of the monitor is always on.

Warning
 Improper use of the defibrillation function may cause injury to the patient; user should judge
whether defibrillation is necessary or not according to the patient’s actual condition.
 Prior to defibrillation, user should ensure that the defibrillator and the monitor have
undergone system test and these two devices can work in conjunction with each other safely
and effectively.
 Prior to defibrillation, user should set the filter mode to [Diagnosis].
 At the end of defibrillation, user can select the filter mode as needed.

11-16
 Chapter 12 Resp Monitoring

12.1 Resp Measurement

The Monitor measures the RESP based on the thoracic impedance between the two electrodes. The changes of
such impedance caused by thoracic movements will generate a RESP wave on the screen. The RR is
calculated from such wave.

12.2 Placement of Electrodes

In Resp measurement, it is important to prepare the skin properly for electrode placement. Refer to the
relevant section on ECG measurement.
The Resp signals are measured through the two ECG electrodes. In case of standard placement of ECG
electrodes, the Resp can be measured through the electrode RA and electrode LL.

12.2.1 Optimization of Lead Position

To measure the ECG and Resp simultaneously, it may be necessary to adjust the positions of the two
electrodes for some patients. Non-standard placement of ECG electrodes may cause changes to the ECG
waveform and affect the ST segment analysis and ARR analysis.
1) Cardiac Superposition
The cardiac activities affecting the Resp waveform are defined as cardiac superposition, which occurs when
the electrodes acquire the impedance changes caused by rhythmic blood flow. Proper placement of electrodes
can reduce cardiac superposition and protect the liver area and ventricles against the cable between the
electrodes, which is especially important to neonates.
2) Lateral Thoracic Expansion
The thoracic cage of some patients, especially neonates, may expand to both sides. To achieve the best Resp
waveform, please place the two electrodes respectively at the right mid-axillary line and left outer chest with
strongest Resp movements as shown below:

12-1
 Resp Monitoring

3) Abdominal Respiration
Some patients may have restricted thoracic movements and rely mainly on abdominal respiration. To achieve
the best Resp waveform, please place the electrode LL on the left abdomen with strongest expansion as shown
below:

12.3 Resp Display

12.4 Resp Calculation Mode

Enter [Resp Setup]:

1) Enter [User Maintain] → [Resp Setup] → [Cal. Mode] (Calculation Mode).

2) Select [Auto] or [Manual].

3) In [Manual] mode, you can set the upper and lower dotted line of the Resp waveform.

4) In [Auto] mode, you cannot change the upper or lower dotted line but use the default waveform

calculation method.
[Auto] mode:
The Monitor auto adjusts the detection level based on the waveform height and ECG artifact. In [Auto] mode,
no dotted line of detection level is displayed on the Resp waveform.
Please select [Auto] mode if:
 The RR is not approximate to the HR;

 The patient relies on spontaneous Resp with or without CPAP; or

 The patient relies on mechanical ventilation (except IMV).

12-2
 Resp Monitoring

[Manual] mode:
In [Manual] mode, you have to set the Resp detection level. The Monitor does not auto adjust the dotted lines
of detection level. When the Resp depth changes or the Resp waveform gain is adjusted, you may need to
adjust the position of the dotted lines of detection level on the Resp waveform manually by selecting [Up Line]
and [Down Line].
Please select [Manual] mode if:
 The RR is approximate to the HR;

 The patient relies on IMV; or

 The Resp signals are weak (try to improve the signal quality by relocating the electrodes).
In [Manual] mode, the superposition of some cardiac activities may trigger the Resp counter and result in
incorrect high RR indication or no-breath detection failure. If you doubt that the cardiac superposition has
been treated as Resp activities, improve the RESP detection level until it is higher than the cardiac
superposition. If you fail to improve the Resp detection level due to small Resp waveform size, follow
Subparagraph 2) Lateral Thoracic Expansion of Section 12.2.1 Optimization of Lead Position to optimize the
position of the electrodes.

12.5 Resp Setup

12.5.1 Gain

Gain is used to adjust the amplitude of the Resp wave. You can select ×0.25, ×0.5, ×1, ×2 or ×4 as the gain.
1) Select the Resp parameter area to enter [Resp Setup] and select an appropriate [Gain].

12.5.2 No Breath Alarm Delay

No-breath detection is to detect the longest interval between two adjacent RESPs. When the actual no-breath
time of the patient exceeds the set no-breath time, the Monitor will respond to no-breath alarms according to
the value of [No Breath Alm Delay].
Set [No Breaths Timeout]:
1) Select the Resp parameter area to enter [Reso Setup] → [No Breaths Timeout] and set an appropriate

detection time.
Set [No Breath Alm Delay]:
1) Enter [User Maintain] → [Other Setup].

2) Set [No Breath Alm Delay] to [Off], [10s], [15s], [20s], [25s], [30s], [35s], [40s], [45s], [50s], [55s] or

[1min].
If you select [Off], the alarm delay function will be disabled.

12-3
 Resp Monitoring

12.5.3 Resp Lead

Resp leads indicate the source of the current Resp waveform. You can set [Resp Lead] to RA-LA (I), RA-LL
(II) or [Auto]. If you select [Auto], the Monitor will auto select an appropriate Resp lead.
1) Select the Resp parameter area to enter [Resp Setup] → [Resp Lead].

2) Select RA-LA (I), RA-LL (II) or [Auto].

12.5.4 Enhance Filter

This parameter is designed to filter out the Resp interference. Its default is [On].
1) Select the Resp wave area to enter [Resp Wave].

2) Select [Enhance Filter] to switch between [On] and [Off].

Note
 In Resp measurement, the Monitor cannot recognize any obstructive or mixed no-breath but
trigger an alarm when the interval between two adjacent RESPs exceeds the set time.

12-4
 Chapter 13 SpO2 Monitoring

13.1 Overview

The SpO2 plethysmography measures the arterial SpO2, namely, the percentage of the oxyhemoglobin count.
The SpO2 is measured with the pulse oximetry, a continuous noninvasive method measuring how many of the
lights emitted from the sensor (light source) can penetrate the patient’s tissues (fingers or ears) and reach the
receiver.
The Monitor measures the following parameters:
Arterial SpO2: the ratio of the oxyhemoglobin to the sum of oxyhemoglobin and non-oxygenated hemoglobin
(functional arterial SpO2);
Pleth waveform: a visible indication of the patient’s pulse;
PR (calculated from pleth waveform): the patient’s pulse count per minute;
PI (perfusion index): the pulsatile blood flow value.

Warning
 If there is any carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), methemoglobin (MetHb) or dye dilution
chemical, the SpO2 value will have a deviation.

13.1.1 Identification of SpO2 Sensor Type

The SpO2 sensor type is pre-configured before the Monitor is delivered. You can identify it based on the
silkscreened logo beside the original SpO2 sensor below the sensor interface on the left side of the Monitor:
 Standard SpO2 sensor:
Sensor interface: circular interface at the center of the side panel;
Silkscreened logo: SpO2.
 Masimo SpO2 sensor:
Sensor interface: square interface at the bottom of the side panel;
Silkscreened logo: .
 Nellcor SpO2 sensor:
Sensor interface: square interface at the bottom of the side panel;
Silkscreened logo: .
It is useful for the clinician to know the wavelength range and maximum optical output power of the sensor,
for example, for the purpose of photodynamic therapy.
 The standard SpO2 sensor can measure a wavelength of 660nm (red LED) or 905nm (IR LED).

13-1
 SpO2 Monitoring

 The Masimo SpO2 sensor can measure a wavelength of 660nm (red LED) or 905nm (IR LED).

 The Nellcor SpO2 sensor can measure a wavelength of 660nm (red LED) or 900nm (IR LED).

 The maximum optical output power of the sensor is lower than 15mW.

Warning
 The Monitor can auto recognize the SpO2 sensor type. However, it will fail to measure the
SpO2 properly if you use a sensor incompatible with its internal hardware.

13.2 Safety Instructions

Warning
 The Monitor is compatible with the SpO2 sensor designated by our company only.
 Before monitoring the patient, please check if the sensor and extension cord are compatible with
the Monitor. Incompatible accessories may reduce the performance of the Monitor.
 Before monitoring the patient, please check if the sensor cable works properly. Remove the
SpO2 sensor cable from the sensor interface, and the Monitor will display the prompt message
“SpO2 sensor off” and trigger the alarm sound.
 If the SpO2 sensor or its package seems damaged, do not use it but return it to the
manufacturer.
 Long-time continuous monitoring may increase the risk of undesired skin characteristic changes
(extremely sensitive, turning red, blistered or pressure necrosis), especially for neonates or the
patients with perfusion disorder or variable or immature skin morphology diagram. Align the
sensor with the light path, fix it properly and check its position regularly based on skin quality
changes (change the sensor position in case of reduced skin quality). Perform such check more
frequently if necessary (subject to the condition of the patient).
 Make sure the sensor cable and electrosurgical equipment cable are not intertwined.
 Do not place the sensor on a limb with ductus arteriosus or intravenous tube.
 Setting the upper SpO2 alarm limit to 100% will disable the upper-limit alarm. Premature
infants may get infected with crystalline posterior fibrous tissue diseases in case of high SpO2.
Please set the upper SpO2 alarm limit cautiously based on recognized clinical practices.

Note
 Make sure the fingernail covers the lights from the sensor. Place the sensor cable on the back
of the hand.
 Do not place the SpO2 sensor on a limb with blood pressure cuff, or the blood flow occlusion
in blood pressure measurement will affect the SpO2 reading.
 The displayed SpO2 waveform is normalized.

13-2
 SpO2 Monitoring

 The pulse oximeter is calibrated to display the functional oxygen saturation.

 Validation of SpO2 measurement accuracy: the measurement accuracy of Masimo SpO2
sensor is validated through a comparison with the reference value of arterial SpO2 measured
by CO-oxygen pressure gauge in human experiments. The SpO2 measurement results
provided by Masimo SpO2 sensor meet the statistical distribution and, compared with the
measurement results provided by CO-oxygen pressure gauge, about two thirds of them are
expected to fall within the specified accuracy range.
 In a human blood study involving healthy adult volunteers in induced hypoxia state (SpO2:
70%~100%), Masimo SpO2 sensor passes the validation of non-movement accuracy through
a comparison with the joint oximeter and monitor in the laboratory. The difference can be
recovered by adding or deducting a standard deviation. After adding or deducting a
standard deviation, 68% of the samples will be covered.
 In a human blood study involving healthy adult volunteers in movement-induced (rub or tap
at a 2~4Hz frequency) hypoxia state, Masimo SpO2 sensor passes the validation of movement
accuracy. In case of non-repeated movement at a 1~2cm range and 1~5Hz frequency, there
will be a 2~3cm range difference from the joint oximeter and monitor in the laboratory in
induced hypoxia (SpO2: 70%~100%) study. The difference can be recovered by adding or
deducting a standard deviation. After adding or deducting a standard deviation, 68% of the
samples will be covered.

13.3 SpO2 Accuracy Test

Warning
 The function tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of the SpO2 sensor.

Assess the SpO2 accuracy by comparing the readings respectively on the Monitor and CO-oxygen pressure
gauge.

13.4 Low Perfusion Accuracy Test

This monitor can measure low perfusion and the recommended method of determining the low perfusion
accuracy of the monitor is to conduct this test with CO-oximeter on adult volunteers whose SpO2 ranges from
70% to 100%. The accuracy index is obtained according to statistical distribution, and only about 2/3 of the
estimated values are expected to fall within the estimated values of CO-oximeter.

13.5 PR Accuracy Test

Assess the PR accuracy by comparing with the ECG heart rate.

 SpO2 Monitoring

13.6 Monitoring Steps

Warning
 Place the SpO2 sensor properly based on the SpO2 sensor type compatible with the Monitor.
This is especially important for neonates.

SpO2 plethysmography:

1) Set the patient type;

2) Insert the SpO2 cable connector into the SpO2 interface of the Monitor;

3) Fix the sensor to an appropriate position on the patient’s finger.

Fig 13-1 Placement of SpO2 Sensor

SpO2 plethysmography for neonates:

The SpO2 plethysmography for neonates is almost the same as that for adults. Here we introduce the neonatal
SpO2 sensor and how to place it.
 Neonatal SpO2 Sensor
The neonatal SpO2 sensor consists of the Y-shaped SpO2 sensor and neonatal SpO2 sensor sheath. Embed the
LED end and PD end of the Y-shaped SpO2 sensor respectively in the upper and lower groove of the neonatal
SpO2 sensor sheath as shown in Fig. 13-2 to achieve the neonatal SpO2 sensor shown in Fig. 13-3.

 Placement of Neonatal SpO2 Sensor

Fig 13-4 Placement of Neonatal SpO2 Sensor

Note
 The injectable dyes, like methylene blue, and the dysfunctional hemoglobin in blood vessels
will lead to inaccurate measurement results.

Warning
 Using the SpO2 sensor in the MRI process may cause severe burns. To minimize such risk,
please do cabling properly to avoid induction coils. Whenever the SpO2 sensor works
improperly, remove it from the patient immediately.
 Check the patient’s skin every two hours to ensure good skin quality and lighting. In case of
any skin change, move the sensor to another part. Change the wearing part at least every
four hours.

13.7 Measurement Restrictions

In operations, the following factors may affect the SpO2 measurement accuracy:
1) High-frequency radio interference, whether from the host system or from the electrosurgical equipments

connected to the host system.

2) Do not use the oximeter or SpO2 sensor in the MRI process, or the induced current may cause burns.

13-5
 SpO2 Monitoring

3) Intravenous dyes.

4) The patient moves frequently.

5) Ambient optical radiation

6) The sensor is fixed improperly or to an improper position on the patient.

7) Improper sensor temperature (optimum temperature: 28℃~42℃).

8) The sensor is placed on a limb with blood pressure cuff, ductus arteriosus or intravenous tube.

9) Concentration of the non-functional hemoglobin, like COHb or MetHb.

10) Low SpO2.

11) Poor circulation perfusion at the tested part.

12) The shock, anemia, hypothermia and application of vasoconstrictors may reduce the arterial blood flow

to a non-measurable level.

13) The SpO2 measurement accuracy depends also on the absorption of the lights with special wavelength by

oxyhemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin. If any other substance also absorbs such lights, like COHb,

MetHb, methylene blue or indigo carmine, you may obtain a false or low SpO2 value.

13.8 SpO2 Setup

13.8.1 Set Off Level

Enter [User Maintain] → [Alarm Setup] → [SpO2 Sensor Lead Off Level].

13.8.2 Smart Alarm

1) Select the SpO2 parameter area to enter [SpO2 Setup] → [Sat second] (Saturation Seconds).

2) Select [10], [25], [50], [100] or [Not Allowed].

Note: this function is available for NELLCOR SpO2 only.

The smart alarm is designed to reduce false alarms and keep the clinician informed of the SpO2 changes more
accurately and timely. For example, if you set [Sat second] to [50] and the upper and lower alarm limit of
NELLCOR SpO2 respectively to 97% and 90%, maintain the measured SpO2 value at 80% for 3s and then
reduce it to 78% for 2s, the Monitor will trigger the alarm sound and indicator 5s after the SpO2 value goes
beyond the alarm limit and the circle beside the SpO2 value will return to the origin.
Calculation method:
Percentage points × seconds = Sat second (integer)
The calculated Sat second is displayed as follows:
% SpO2 Seconds Sat second

13-6
 SpO2 Monitoring

(90%-80%) × 3 = 30
(90%-78%) × 2 = 24
Total Sat second = 54

Fig 13-5 Example Diagram

In the above Sat second example:

About 4.9s later, the Monitor will report a Sat second alarm because you’ve set [Sat second] to [50], smaller
than 54.
The SpO2 value may fluctuate in seconds rather than remain unchanged. The patient’s SpO2 value usually
fluctuates within the alarm limit and sometimes goes beyond the alarm limit discontinuously. The Monitor
will accumulate the positive and negative percentage points until the set value of [Sat second] is reached or
the patient’s SpO2 value remains beyond the alarm limit.

13.8.3 Smart Tone

You will (will not) hear the pulse tone in case of unstable signal or ambient noise if this function is enabled
(disabled).
Set [Smart Tone]:
1) Select the SpO2 parameter area to enter [SpO2 Setup].

2) Select [Smart Tone] to switch between [On] and [Off].

Note: this function is available for Masimo SpO2 only.

13.8.4 NIBP Same Side

Set [NIBP Same Side]:

1) Select the SpO2 parameter area to enter [SpO2 Setup].

2) Select [NIBP Same Side] to switch to [On].

13-7
 SpO2 Monitoring

If you do not select [On], the weak perfusion caused by NIBP measurement will lead to inaccurate SpO2
measurement or trigger a physiological SpO2 alarm when the NIBP measurement and SpO2 measurement
are performed on the same limb.

13.8.5 Signal IQ

The magnitude of the SpO2 SIQ waveform provides an assessment of the confidence in the measurement
displayed. A higher value indicates higher confidence in the measurement whereas a smaller value indicates
lower confidence in the displayed measurement.
Movements usually affect the signal quality. When the arterial pulse reaches the peak, the Monitor will mark
its location on the vertical line (signal indicator). The volume of the smart tone (if enabled) remains consistent
with the vertical line (the volume of the smart tone will increase or decrease accordingly when the SpO2 value
increases or decreases).
The height of the vertical line represents the quality of the measured signal (the higher line, the higher quality).
Set [Signal IQ] (Signal Identification and Quality):
1) Select the SpO2 parameter area to enter [SpO2 Setup].

2) Select [Signal IQ] to switch between [On] and [Off].

Note: this function is available for Masimo SpO2 and simulated SpO2 only.

13.8.6 Average Time

The SpO2 value displayed on the Monitor is the average of the SpO2 values acquired in a given time. Shorter
(longer) average time will lead to quicker (slower) response and lower (higher) measurement accuracy of the
Monitor when the patient’s SpO2 value changes. For a critical patient, please set a short average time so as to
analyze his/her condition timely. Set [Average Time]:
Masimo SpO2:
1) Select the SpO2 parameter area to enter [SpO2 Setup] → [Average Time].

2) Select [2-4s], [4-6s], [8s], [10s], [12s], [14s] or [16s].

data. This aids the clinician in clinical settings requiring fast response time such as those seen with induction,
intubation, sleep studies and resuscitation.
1) Select the SpO2 parameter area to enter [SpO2 Setup].

2) Select [Fast Sat] (Fast Saturation) to switch between [On] and [Off].
Note: this function is available for Masimo SpO2 only; if this function is enabled, you can find the
prompt message “Fast Sat” at the main interface.

13.8.8 Sensitivity

[Sensitivity] can be set to [Normal], [Maximum] or [APOD] (Adaptive Probe Off Detection). [Maximum]
represents the highest sensitivity. In typical monitoring conditions, please select [Normal]. If the sensor is
likely to come off the patient due to wet skin, violent movements or other causes, please select [APOD]. If the
patient’s perfusion level is extremely low, please select [Maximum].
Set [Sensitivity]:
1) Select the SpO2 parameter area to enter [SpO2 Setup] → [Sensitivity].

2) Select an appropriate [Sensitivity]:

 Chapter 14 NIBP Monitoring

14.1 Overview

The Monitor uses the vibration method (measure the cuff pressure vibration amplitude) to measure the
noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP). Blood pressure changes will cause cuff vibrations. The cuff pressure at
the highest vibration amplitude is the mean pressure. The systolic pressure and diastolic pressure are
calculated from the mean pressure.
NIBP measurement is applicable in electrosurgical operations and defibrillator discharges according to
IEC80601-2-30/EN60601-2-30.
NIBP monitoring is applicable to adults, children, neonates, pregnant women and preeclampsia patients.

14.2 Safety Instructions

Warning
 Before the NIBP measurement, make sure the selected monitoring mode is appropriate for the
patient (adult, child or neonate). It is dangerous to select a non-neonatal mode for neonatal
patients.
 Do not place the cuff on a limb with intravenous tube or cannula, or the tissues around the
cannula may be damaged when the infusion is slowed or blocked in the cuff inflation process.
 Make sure the inflation tube connecting the blood pressure cuff to the Monitor is not
obstructed or tangled.
 Do not perform the NIBP measurement to a patient with sickle cell disease or existing or
expected skin lesions.
 For a patient with severe disturbances of blood coagulation, please determine the applicability
of automatic NIBP measurement based on clinical evaluation, or the limb contacting the cuff
may suffer from hematoma due to friction.
 Frequent measurements may cause blood flow interference and injure the patient.
 To prevent further injury, do not place the cuff on any wound.
 Do not place the blood pressure cuff on a limb under intravenous infusion, intravenous therapy
or arteriovenous shunt, or the transient blood flow interference will injure the patient.
 Do not place the cuff on the arm at the same side as mastectomy.
 The increasing cuff pressure may cause transient function failure to other monitoring
equipment used on the same limb.

 NIBP Monitoring

14.3 NIBP Measurement

14.3.1 Preparations for Measurement

1) Connect the inflation tube to the blood pressure cuff.

2) Connect the inflation tube to the NIBP interface of the Monitor without compressing or blocking the

pressure tube.

3) Use a cuff of the correct size and make sure the airbag is not folded or twisted.

 An incorrect cuff size or a folded or twisted airbag will cause inaccurate measurement. Make sure

the cuff is deflated thoroughly. The cuff width should be 40% (50% for neonates) of the limb

perimeter or 2/3 of the upper arm length. The inflated part of the cuff should be long enough to

circle 50~80% of the limb.

Fig 14-1 Use of Cuff

4) Tie the cuff around the limb and make sure the cuff is at the same level as the patient’s heart. If you fail

to do so, use the following methods to correct the measurement result:

 Make sure the mark “φ” is located at an appropriate artery. Do not tie the cuff too tightly, or the

distal extremity may suffer from discoloration or ischemia. Check the skin condition of the contact

part and the color, temperature and feeling of the limb wearing the cuff regularly. If the skin

condition changes or the blood circulation of the limb is affected, move the cuff to another body part

for continued measurement or stop the NIBP measurement immediately. In auto measurement mode,

please observe the skin condition more frequently.

 If the cuff is not at the same level as the heart, use the following correction formulas:

 If the cuff is at a higher level than the heart: displayed NIBP value + 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) ×

14.3.2 Measurement Restrictions

The vibration method has some restrictions, depending on the patient’s condition. It detects the regular pulse
wave generated by arterial pressure. If the patient’s condition makes it difficult to detect such wave, the
measured pressure value will be unreliable and the pressure measurement time will be increased. In the
following cases, the vibration method will be disturbed, causing unreliable or impossible pressure
measurement or increased pressure measurement time, depending on the patient’s condition.
1) Patient Movements
If the patient is moving, trembling or under cramps, which may disturb the detection of arterial pressure pulse,
the NIBP measurement will be unreliable or impossible and the pressure measurement time will be increased.

14-3
 NIBP Monitoring

2) Arrhythmia
If the patient has irregular heart beats due to arrhythmia, the NIBP measurement will be unreliable or
impossible and the pressure measurement time will be increased.
3) Heart-lung Machine
Do not perform the NIBP measurement if the patient is connected to a heart-lung machine.
4) Pressure Changes
If the patient’s blood pressure changes rapidly within a certain time when the Monitor analyzes the arterial
pressure pulse for measurement purpose, the NIBP measurement will be unreliable or impossible.
5) Severe Shock
If the patient is under severe shock or hypothermia, the NIBP measurement will be unreliable as the reduced
blood flowing to the periphery will reduce the arterial pulse.
6) Beyond-limit HR
Do not perform the NIBP measurement if the HR is lower than 40bpm (beats per minute) or higher than
240bpm.
7) Fat Patient
Damped by the thick fat layers of the limb, the vibration from the artery will fail to reach the cuff, causing
lower measurement accuracy than in normal cases.
8) Patient with Hypertension
To measure the NIBP of a patient with hypertension accurately, please:
 Adjust his/her sitting posture until:

 He/she sits comfortably;

 His/her legs are not crossed;

 His/her feet are laid flat on the ground;

 He/she leans his/her back against the chair and puts his/her hands on the desk;

 The middle part of the cuff is at the same level as his/her right atrium.

 Ask he/she relaxes as much as possible and not talk during the measurement procedure.

 Elapse 5 min before the first reading is taken.

 Chapter 16 CO2 Monitoring

16.1 Overview

The Monitor uses the CO2 measurement to monitor the patient’s breath state and control his/her ventilation.
There are two methods of measuring the CO2 in the patient’s airway:
 Sidestream measurement method: take samples from the respiratory gas sensor in the patient’s airway at

a constant flow rate and use the built-in remote CO2 sensor in the measurement system to analyze them.

 Mainstream measurement method: install the CO2 sensor onto the airway connector inserted directly into

the respiratory system of the patient.

In the above two cases, the measurement principle is IR emission. Use the optical detector to measure the
intensity of the infrared rays penetrating the respiratory system. Such intensity depends on the CO2
concentration as some infrared rays will be absorbed by CO2 molecules.
The CO2 measurement involves the following parameters (see the figure below):
 CO2 waveform ①

 End-tidal CO2 (EtCO2): the maximum partial pressure of CO2 at the end of a breath. ②

 EtCO2 alarm limit ③

 Fraction of inspiratory CO2 (FiCO2): the minimum CO2 value during inspiration ④

 Airway respiration rate (AWRR): the respirations per minute calculated from the CO2 waveform ⑤

 Measurement unit ⑥

Note
 Do not use the Monitor in an environment with any flammable anesthetic gas.
 Only the trained professionals familiar with this Manual are allowed to operate the Monitor.

16-6
 CO2 Monitoring

4) Block the sampling tube with a fingertip and wait 10s.

5) Check if the prompt message “Sampling line clogged” appears and the LED flashes in red.

6) Check the tightness of the patient circuit connected to the sampling tube when appropriate.

Note
 In order to prevent the condensed water dropping into the gas sampling tube and blocking it,
the gas sampling tube connection end of the airway adapter should point up.

Warning
 Hang the external CO2 analyzer onto the CO2 sensor holder on the back housing of the Monitor
reliably against falling and damage.
 Place the IRMA sensor, if not protected by HME, with the status LED pointing up.
 Do not stretch the cable of the ISA sidestream gas analyzer.
 Operate the ISA sidestream gas analyzer in the specified working temperature environment
only.

16.6 Maintenance and Cleaning of Respironics Mainstream and Sidestream

CO2 Sensor

16.6.1 General Cleaning

Dip a cloth in 70% isopropyl alcohol, water solution (bleach) containing 10% sodium hypochlorite,
disinfecting spray cleaner (like Steris Coverage SprayHB), ammonia water or mild soapy water, wash it with
water, wring it and then use it to clean the sensor. Dry it and make sure its sight glass is clean before using the
cleaned sensor.

16.6.2 Clean the Reusable Airway Adapter of Mainstream Sensor

solution (bleach) containing 10% sodium hypochlorite, 2.4% glutaraldehyde solvent (Cidex Plus, Steris
System 1, etc.) or ammonia water, and then rinse it with sterile water and dry it.

16.6.3 Disinfection of Reusable Airway Adapter

Autoclave: applicable to the airway adapter for adults only.

ETO: disinfect the airway adapter for 1.5h.
Dip in Cidex Plus solvent for 10h.
Dip in Perasafe solvent for 10h.
U.S. Steris System 1 low-temperature sterilization cabinet.

Make sure it is not damaged in operations or in the cleaning/disinfection process and its sight glass is dry
without any residue before using the disinfected airway adapter.

16.6.4 Disinfection Frequency of Reusable Airway Adapter

The above disinfection methods allow you to reuse the airway adapter for 100 times.

16.6.5 Zeroing

Usually, the CO2 sensor will be auto zeroed when necessary. You can zero it manually when you consider it
necessary: select [CO2] in the parameter area to enter [CO2 Setup] and then select [Zero] to zero the CO2
sensor. Keep the patient circuit in the ambient air (21% O2 and 0% CO2) for 30s in the zeroing process. The
CO2 sensor is zeroed successfully when the prompt message “Zeroing, please wait 30s” disappears.

16.7 Masimo Mainstream and Sidestream Module Related Information

16.7.1 Zeroing

In order to eliminate the effect of the baseline drift on measurement results and obtain accurate measurement
results, please zero it before using the CO2 sensor to monitor the patient.
Usually, the CO2 sensor will be auto zeroed when necessary. You can zero it manually when you consider it
necessary: select [CO2] in the parameter area to enter [CO2 Setup] and then select [Zero] to zero the CO2
sensor. Keep the patient circuit in the ambient air (21% O2 and 0% CO2) in the zeroing process. The CO2
sensor is zeroed successfully when the prompt message “CO2 is zeroing” disappears.

16.7.1.1 Zeroing ISA CO2 Module

The ISA CO2 Module needs to establish a zero reference level for the CO2 measurement. This zero
calibration is here referred to as “Zeroing”.
The ISA sidestream gas Module performs zeroing automatically by switching the gas sampling from the
respiratory circuit to the ambient air. The automatic zeroing is performed every 24 hours and takes less than 3
seconds for ISA CO2 gas module. During zeroing, if ISA’s exhaust gas is return to the patient circuit, the
return gas level will be different from the gas level at the sampling site.

Warning
 Since successful zeroing requires the presence of ambient air in the gas module, ensure that
the ISA is placed in a well ventilated place. Avoid breathing near the ISA sidestream gas
module before or during the zeroing procedure.

16-10
 CO2 Monitoring

16.7.1.2 Zeroing IRMA CO2 Module

In order to secure high precision of the IRMA probe measurements the following zeroing recommendations
should be followed.
Zeroing is performed by snapping a new IRMA airway adapter onto the IRMA probe, without connecting the
airway adapter to the patient circuit, and then using the medical backboard device to transmit a Zero reference
command to the IRMA probe.
Special care should be taken to avoid breathing near the airway adapter before or during the Zeroing
procedure. The presence of ambient air in the IRMA airway adapter is of crucial importance for a successful
Zeroing. If a “CO2 Need Zero” alarm should appear directly after a Zeroing procedure, the procedure has to be
repeated.
Always perform a pre-use check after Zeroing the probe.
IRMA CO2 probes:
Zeroing needs to be performed ONLY when an offset in gas values is observed, or when an unspecified
accuracy message is displayed.
Allow 10 seconds for warm up of the IRMA CO2 probes after power on before proceeding with the Zeroing
Procedure.
Allow the IRMA probe to warm up for at least 10 seconds after changing the IRMA airway adapter before
transmitting the Zero reference command.

Warning
 Incorrect probe Zeroing will result in false gas readings.

16.7.1.3 Maintenance

Verify the gas readings regularly. Contact the engineers from the manufacturer for maintenance in case of any
inaccurate reading.

16.7.2 Adverse Effects on Performance

1) The following factors have the known adverse effects on the specified performance:
 Quantitative effects of RH or condensation;
 Quantitative effects of barometric pressure;
 Interfering gas or water vapor; and
 Other interference sources.
2) Gas Measurement Unit
Use volume percentage as the gas concentration unit. Below is the concentration calculation formula:

Use the cup-making pressure sensor of the ISA gas analyzer to measure the total pressure of the gas mixture.
To convert into any other unit, you can use the actual barometric pressure sent from the ISA sidestream
(IRMA mainstream).
CO2 (mmHg) = (CO2 Concentration) x (Barometric Pressure from ISA (kPa)) x (750 / 100).
Take 5.0 vol% CO2 @ 101.3kPa as an example: 0.05 x 101.3 x 750 / 100 = 38 (mmHg).
3) Effects of RH
The partial pressure and volume percentage of the CO2, N2O, O2 and anesthetic gas depend on the water
vapor content in the measured gas. Calibrate the O2 measurement, and the displayed value at the ambient
temperature and RH level will be 20.8 vol%, not the actual partial pressure. The 20.8 vol% O2 represents the
actual O2 concentration of the room air (water concentration: 0.7 vol%) (for example, 25°C and 23% RH @
1013hPa). The Monitor will keep displaying the actual partial pressure at the current RH level when
measuring the CO2, N2O and anesthetic gas (like all gases measured by infrared cell).
In the patient’s alveoli, the water vapor in the respiratory gas is saturated (BTPS) at the body temperature.
Before the acquired respiratory gas in the sampling tube is transferred to the ISA sidestream gas analyzer, its
temperature becomes approximate to the ambient temperature. No water will enter the ISA gas analyzer after
the Nomoline sampling tube removes all condensed water. The RH of the acquired gas is approximately 95%.
Use the following formula to calculate the CO2 value at BTPS:

In the above formula:

EtCO2 : EtCO2 value [vol%] sent from ISA
Pamb : barometric pressure [kPa] sent from ISA
3.8 : typical partial pressure [kPa] of the water vapor condensed between the patient circuit and ISA
EtCO2 (BTPS) = EtCO2 concentration [vol%] at BTPS

16.7.9 Consumables

16.7.9.1 ISA Nomoline Family

ISA samples gas from the respiratory circuit through the Nomoline Family sampling line at a rate of 50
sml/min, making measurements of CO2 possible for adult, pediatric and infant patients.
The Nomoline Family sampling lines incorporate a unique water separation (NO MOisture) section, which
removes condensed water. The NOMO section is also fitted with a bacteria filter that protects the gas analyzer
from water intrusion and cross contamination.
As long as no sampling line is connected, the ISA gas analyzer remains in a low-power sleep mode. Once the
sampling line is connected, the ISA gas analyzer switches to measuring mode and starts delivering gas data.
The Nomoline Family sampling lines are available in a wide variety of versions for both intubated and
spontaneously breathing patients and in both disposable and re-sposable configurations –intubated patients
can for instance be monitored using the disposable Nomoline Airway adapter Set or a com-bination of the
multiple patient use Nomoline Adapter and a disposable Nomoline Extension / T-adapter. Spontaneously
breathing patients could similarly be monitored using a disposable Nomoline Nasal CO2 Cannula or a
combination of the multiple patient use Nomoline Adapter and a disposable Nomoline Nasal CO2 Cannula
with Luer Connector.

16-17
 CO2 Monitoring

OR

Figure 1.The disposable Nomoline Airway Adapter Set is an alternative to using a combination of the multiple
patient use Nomoline Adapter and a disposable Nomoline Extension / T-adapter.
The Nomoline Adapter may be used with other third party sampling lines and cannulas. Please however note
that the Nomoline Family of sampling lines are designed for optimal performance and measure-ment fidelity
when used with the ISA gas analyzers. For instance, when connecting to a respiratory circuit, the Masimo T-
adapter provides a central gas sampling point thereby minimizing the the risk of sampling line occlusion (see
below)

Figure 2. For optimal water handling, always use T-adapters with the sampling point in the center of the
adapter, as shown to the left above.

Attention
Using sample tubes or cannulas with larger inner diameter than 1 mm will increase ISA’s total
system response time.

Nomoline Family sampling line replacement

Nomoline Family sampling lines should be replaced according to good clinical practice or when the sampling
line gets occluded. Occlusion occurs when water, secretion etc. is aspired from the respiratory circuit to such
extent that ISA cannot maintain the normal 50 sml/min sample flow. This situation is indicated by a red
flashing gas inlet connector and an alarm message “Sampling Line Clogged”; Replace the Nomoline and wait
until the gas inlet connector switches to green indicating that the ISA gas analyzer is ready for use.

16.7.9.2 IRMA Airway Adapter

The IRMA airway adapter is inserted between the endotracheal tube and the Y-piece of the breathing circuit.
The respiratory gas measurements are obtained through the XTP™ windows in the sides of the adapter. The
XTP windows are transparent to light in the wavelength ranges of interest and they are specially designed

16-18
 CO2 Monitoring

using the latest advances in material technology to provide a window minimizing the impact of water vapor
on light transmission.

Warning
 Replace the airway adapter if rainout/condensation occurs inside the airway adapter.

The IRMA airway adapter is designed as a non-sterile single patient use disposable for both Adult/Pediatric
and Infant applications. The IRMA Infant airway adapter has specially designed connectors for minimizing
the dead space and can be used even for very small patients.

IRMA airway adapters: Adult/Pediatric (REF: 106220) and Infant (REF: 106260)

Warning
 Do not use the IRMA Adult/Pediatric airway adapter with infants as the adapter adds 6 ml
dead space to the patient circuit.
 Do not use the IRMA Infant airway adapter with adults as this may cause excessive flow
resistance.

16.7.10 Maintenance

The user should verify gas readings regularly; If finding any problems, please contact an engineer of the
manufacturer for maintenance.

16.7.11 Cleaning the Analyzer

The “Plug in and measure” ISA sidestream gas analyzer should be cleaned regularly. Use ethanol or isopropyl
alcohol with a maximum concentration of 70% and a wet rag to clean the analyzer..
In order to prevent the cleaning liquid and dust from entering into the ISA gas analyzer from the LEGI
interface, the Nomoline sampling line should be connected all the time during analyzer cleaning.
Before cleaning the IRMA probe, take off the disposable IRMA airway adapter.

Warning
 The Nomoline sampling line is not a germ free device. In order to prevent the sampling line
from causing damages, please never carry out high pressure disinfection on any part of the
sampling line.

 Chapter 17 IBP Monitoring

17.1 Overview

The Monitor can measure the artery pressure (systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and mean pressure) directly.
Call up the two-channel IBP waveform (see the figure below):

Fig 17-1 Two-channel IBP Monitoring Interface

17.2 Instructions on IBP Monitoring

Warning
 Use the accessories compliant with the safety requirements on medical equipment only.
 Do not touch the metal parts connected to electrical equipment when connecting or using any
accessory.
 In order not to cause burns (resulted from electric leakage) to the patient, please do not allow
its sensors and sensor cables to contact such equipment when connecting the Monitor to any
high-frequency electrosurgical equipment.
 Never reuse the disposable pressure sensor.
 Before monitoring the patient, please check if the sensor cable works properly. Remove the IBP
sensor cable from the sensor interface, and the Monitor will display the prompt message “IBP
sensor off” and trigger the alarm sound.
 If any liquid other than the solution used for the perfusion pressure tube or sensor splashes onto
the Monitor or its accessories, especially when it is likely to flow into the Monitor or its sensors,
please contact the maintenance department of the hospital.

Note
 Use the pressure sensor specified herein only.

With the protection against electric shock and against the effects of defibrillators, the pressure sensor specified
herein can be used for surgical operations. The pressure waves may become disordered in the defibrillation

17-1
 IBP Monitoring

process. Once the defibrillation is completed, the Monitor will go back to normal work with its operation
mode and user configurations remaining unaffected.

Note
 Calibrate the sensor, whether new or used, regularly according to the relevant procedures of
the hospital.
 Zero the transducer before monitoring the patient. In the IBP monitoring process, keep the
pressure sensor at the same level as the patient’s heart. In order not to clog the cannula,
irrigate the cannula with continuously fed heparin saline to keep the pressure measurement
path unobstructed. Secure the cannula reliably against displacement and disconnection and
ensure normal IBP measurement.

17.3 Monitoring Steps

Preparations for measurement:

1) Prepare the pressure tube and sensor by filling the cannula system with the physiological saline solution.

Make sure there is no bubble in the cannula system.

2) Connect the patient cannula to the pressure tube. Make sure there is no air in the cannula, pressure tube

or sensor.

3) Insert the cable into the relevant socket and check if the Monitor is powered on.

4) Enter [User Maintain] and activate the IBP sensor.

5) Enter the general interface of the Monitor and select [Screen Layout] to call up the IBP waveform and

parameter to be monitored (skip this step if the IBP waveform and parameter are already displayed on the

screen).

6) Place the sensor at the same level as the heart (approximately at the mid-axillary line).

7) Zero the sensor and then close its atmosphere channel and open its patient channel.

Warning
 If there is any bubble in the pressure tube or sensor, use the heparin saline to irrigate the
system. Bubbles will lead to inaccurate measurement results.
 To perform the ICP measurement to a sitting patient, please adjust the sensor to the same level
as the patient’s ears. Incorrect sensor position will lead to inaccurate measurement results.

24.2.1 Cleaning and Disinfection of BP Cuff

Prior to cleaning, the gasbag must be taken out.

The cuff can be washed by machine or hand with warm water and mild detergent, whereas hand wash can
prolong its service time. The gasbag can be cleaned using a wet cloth dipped with clean water. Naturally air-
dry it after cleaning.
The cuff can be disinfected using a wet cloth dipped with 70% ethanol or 70% isopropanol. Long-term use of
disinfectants may result in color fading or discoloration of the cuff.

Warning
 Do not squeeze the rubber tube on the cuff.
 During cleaning, only wipe the external surface of the connector socket; never wipe its internal
surface.
 When cleaning the gasbag, care should be taken not to allow any liquid to flow into the gasbag.
 It is forbidden to dry-clean the cuff.
 The disposable cuff can be cleaned with soap to control infection.

After cleaning, please reinstall the gasbag into the cuff according to the following steps.

To reinstall the gasbag into the cuff, first put the gasbag at the head of the cuff so that the rubber tube can line
up with the big opening of the long end of the cuff; then vertically curl up the gasbag and insert it into the big
opening of the cuff; hold the rubber tube and the cuff, and shake the entire cuff till the gasbag is in position.
Lead the rubber tube into the cuff, and run it through the liner via the small hole. See the figure below:

25.3 NIBP Leakage Test

It is used to detect whether the NIBP measuring pump leaks. When the NIBP cuff is connected, this button
can be used to activate the NIBP inflation process, so as to detect whether the NIBP gas circuit is in good
airtight condition. If the result of gas leakage test is OK, the system will not give any prompt; if not, a
corresponding error message will be shown in the NIBP info area.
Gas Leakage Test Process:
1) Properly connect the cuff to the NIBP gas hole in the monitor.

2) Wrap the cuff around a cylinder of proper size.

3) Enter [User Maintain] → [Leakage Test].

4) At this moment, [Leakage Testing] will be shown in the lower part of the NIBP parameter area on the

screen, indicating that the system starts performing the gas leakage test.

5) The system will inflate automatically till the pressure reaches 180mmHg.

6) About 20s later, the system will turn on the deflation valve automatically, indicating that leakage

measurement is finished.

25-2
 Maintenance

If no prompt message is shown in the NIBP parameter area, it indicates the system has no gas leakage. If
[Pneumatic Leak...] is shown, it indicates the gas circuit may leak. At this moment, the operator should check
the complete connection to see if there is any looseness. After confirming the connection is correct, perform
the gas leakage test again. If there is still any fault prompt, please contact the manufacturer for repair.

Masimo Accuracy Foot notes:

1 The Masimo SET technology with Masimo sensors has been validated for no motion accuracy in human
blood studies on healthy adult male and female volunteers with light to dark skin pigmentation in induced
hypoxia studies in the range of 70-100% SpO2 against a laboratory CO-Oximeter and ECG monitor. This
variation equals ±1 standard deviation. Plus or minus onestandard deviation encompasses 68% of the
population.
2 The Masimo SET technology with Masimo sensors has been validated for motion accuracy in human blood
studies on healthy adult male and female volunteers with light to dark skin pigmentation in induced hypoxia
studies while performing rubbing and tapping motions, at 2 to 4 Hz at an amplitude of 1 to 2 cm and a non-
repetitive motion between 1 to 5 Hz at an amplitude of 2 to 3 cm in induced hypoxia studies in the range of
70-100% SpO2 against a laboratory CO-Oximeter and ECG monitor. This variation equals ±1 standard
deviation, which encompasses68% of the population.
3 The Masimo SET technology has been validated for low perfusion accuracy in bench top testing against a
Biotek Index 2™ simulator and Masimo’s simulator with signal strengths of greaterthan 0.02% and
transmission of greater than 5% for saturations ranging from 70 to 100%. This variation equals ±1 standard
deviation. Plus or minus one standard deviation encompasses 68% of the population.
4 The Masimo SET Technology with Masimo Neo sensors has been validated for neonatal motion accuracy in
human blood studies on healthy adult male and female volunteers with light to darkskin pigmentation in
induced hypoxia studies while performing rubbing and tapping motions, at 2 to 4 Hz at an amplitude of 1 to 2
cm and a non-repetitive motion between 1 to 5 Hz at anamplitude of 2 to 3 cm in induced hypoxia studies in
the range of 70-100% SpO2 against a laboratory CO-Oximeter and ECG monitor. This variation equals ±1
standard deviation. Plus orminus one standard deviation encompasses 68% of the population. 1% has been
added to the results to account for the effects of fetal hemoglobin present in neonates.
5 The Masimo SET technology with Masimo sensors has been validated for pulse rate accuracy for the range
of 25 -240 bpm in bench top testing against a Biotek Index 2™ simulator. Thisvariation equals ±1 standard
deviation. Plus or minus one standard deviation encompasses 68% of the population.
6 Sensor accuracy specified when used with Masimo technology using a Masimo patient cable for LNOP
sensors, RD SET sensors, the LNCS sensors, or the M-LNCS sensors. Numbersrepresent Arms (RMS error
compared to the reference). Because pulse oximeter measurements are statistically distributed, only about
two-thirds of the measurements can be expected to fallwithin a range of ± Arms compared to the reference
value. Unless otherwise noted, SpO2 accuracy is specified from 70% to 100%. Pulse Rate accuracy is
specified from 25 to 240 bpm.
