away from the pacemaker.
Do not place the power outlet out of the operator’s reach.
Alarm volume and high/low alarm limits should be set depending on the patient. When a
patient is monitored, do not exclusively rely on the audible alarm system. If the alarm volume
is set too low or is completely turned off, the alarm will not be heard, and the patient may be
put into danger. Pay close attention to the patient’s actual clinical conditions is the most
reliable monitoring way.
1-1
Safety
The monitor can only be connected to a power outlet with protective ground. If the power
socket is not connected to a ground conductor, use the rechargeable battery to supply power to
the monitor instead of using the power outlet.
Do not open the housing of the monitor to avoid the potential risk of electric shock. The
monitor must be maintained and upgraded by service technician trained and authorized by
Comen.
Observe the local laws and regulations or the waste disposal rules of the hospital when
disposing of packaging materials. Keep the packaging materials out of the reach of children.
Do not use the monitor in the presence of flammable anesthetics or other flammable substance
in combination with air, oxygen-enriched environments, or nitrous oxide.
To ensure safety, avoid stacking multiple equipment or placing anything on the monitor during
operation.
Carefully place the monitor power cord and accessories cables to avoid entanglement, potential
strangulation, and electrical interference to the patient.
To protect you from electric shock, always remove the sensor and completely disconnect the
monitor before bathing the patient.
For patients with pacemakers, the cardiotachometer may be used to record pacemaker pulse in
the event of asystole or arrhythmia. Donot completely rely on the alarm function of the
cardiotachometer. Patients with pacemakers must be closely monitored. For the pacemaker
inhibiting function of the monitor, please refer to relevant section in this Manual.
Keep patient under close surveillances when using this monitor to conduct therapy. If the shock
is delayed, the shockable rhythm may change to nonshockable rhythm, leading to delivering
wrong shock.
The equipment without defibrillation protection shall be disconnected from the patient during
defibrillation.
During defibrillation, the operator should not come into contact with the patient, the monitor
or the supporting table; otherwise may result in serious injury or death. Before reusing the
cables, check to confirm that their functions are normal.
Any equipment connected to the monitor shall form an equipotential body (effective connection
of protective ground).
In order to avoid burns (resulted from electric leakage) to the patient, ensure that the
monitor’s sensors and sensor cables never come into contact with any high-frequency
electrosurgical equipment.
The physiological waveform and parameter, alarm message and other information displayed
by the monitor are only for reference by physicians, and not directly used as a basis for clinical
treatment.
Electromagnetic field can affect the performance of the monitor. Therefore, equipment used
near the monitor should conform to the applicable EMC requirements. For example, mobile
phones and X-ray machines are potential sources of interference, since they transmit high-
intensity electromagnetic radiation.
1-2
Safety
Do not use the monitor during MRI scanning or in a MRI environment as it may result in
physical harm.
The operator should verify that the synchronous input equipment is applicable to this monitor
and the input signals are valid.

You can enter the [Patient Manage] menu in one of two ways:
a) Enter [Main Menu] and select [Patient Manage];
b) Click in the patient info area on the upper menu bar.
6.1 Admit
When a patient is connected to the monitor, the monitor displays and saves 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?] is shown. Select [Yes] to discharge the existing patient. If no patient has been
admitted, the prompt message [Apply the monitoring data to the patient to be admitted?] is shown.
3) Enter patient info in the [Patient Info] menu. Pay attention that [Pat Type] (Patient Type) and [Pace]
(Pacemaker) are set correctly. You can use keyboard 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 compute 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 is shown above the ECG waveform, and is
shown at the upper right corner of the message prompt area. When [Pace] is set to [OFF], no prompt
Warning
Whether a patient is admitted or not, 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 before monitoring.
When the patient type is changed, the system loads the factory default configuration. Verify

the alarm limits 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.
For the patient without pacemaker, [Pace] must 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 admitted 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.
The [Quick Admit] mode can be used in emergency situation when there is not enough time to fill in patient
information. However, you must complete the patient info later.
1) Enter [Patient Manage] → [Quick Admit].
2) If another patient has been admitted on the monitor, the prompt message [Discharge current patient?
Admit new patient?]is shown. Select [Yes] to discharge the existing patient. If no patient has been
admitted, the prompt message [Apply the monitoring data to the patient to be admitted?] is shown.
3) Enter the [Patient Info] window, set [Pat Type] and [Pace], and then close the window.
6.3 Discharge

Chapter 9 Alarm
When a patient under monitoring or therapy as abnormal vital signs, or when failure occurs in the monitor, the
system sounds audible and visual alarm to remind the user.
When there are multiple alarms and prompt messages, messages scroll in a cycle.
Warning
Use of different configuration on different monitors in one area (e.g., ICU or OR) may affect
patient’s safety
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 is triggered when the monitor does not operate 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 shows messages about system
status. Generally, these messages shown in the system message area are not related to vital signs of the patient.
Physiological and technical alarms are classified into high, medium and low-level alarms by severity.
9-1
Alarm
When an alarm is generated, the monitor uses the following alarm modes to alert the user:
Alarm Lamp
Audible Alarm
Alarm Message
Flashing Parameter
Alarm indicators at the upper left corner of the monitor indicate alarm levels with different light colors and
flashing frequencies.
Physiological Alarm:
High-level: Red (Left light), flashing.
Medium-level: Yellow (Left light), flashing.
Low-level: Yellow (Left light), consistently on.
Technical Alarm:
High-level: Red (Left light), flashing.
Medium-level: Yellow (Left light), flashing.
Low-level: Cyan (Right light), consistently on.
9-2
Alarm
The monitor indicates alarm levels with alarm sounds with different intervals.
High-level: beep-beep-beep--beep-beep----beep-beep-beep--beep-beep
Medium-level: beep-beep-beep
Low-level: beep
Warning
Both the bedside monitor and the CMS (Center Monitoring System) are provided with audible
alarm function.
When this monitor is connected to the CMS, you can use the same high and low alarm limits for
the monitor and CMS. If you enable alarm delay on this monitor, it will not display when CMS
indicates 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.
Certain physiological alarms, such as asystole and respiratory arrest, are exclusive. The sound
and light expression of this type of alarm is the same as that of the high-level alarm, but the
alarm information is displayed in an exclusive manner, that is, when the general physiological
alarm and the exclusive physiological alarm occur simultaneously, only the text alarm
information of the exclusive physiological alarm is displayed.
Alarm messages are shown in the physiological alarm area or technical alarm area on the screen.
Different background colors are used to indicate the alarm levels:
High-level: Red
Medium-level: Yellow
Low-level: Yellow (Physiological Alarm)/ Cyan (Technical Alarm)
Different marks are added in front of alarm messages to indicate the alarm levels:
High-level: ***
Medium-level: **
Low-level: *
When a parameter value is outside the alarm limit, the parameter and its high/low limits flash every second,
indicating the measured result is beyond the high or low limit.

1) Enter [User Maintain] → [Alarm Setup].
Warning
When setting alarm limits to extreme values, the alarm system may be useless.
When setting high and low alarm limits, make sure the patient type is correct (ADU, PED or
NEO).
If you have set the high and low alarm limits manually, the monitor will display these high and
low alarm limits instead of the default alarm limits of the system.
If power-off accidentally occurs, the equipment retain the latest setting for 120s.After120s, the
monitor sets the configurations according to [Startup Configuration] when restarts.
Note
When applying factory default configurations, alarm limits of the parameters will also change.
See “Default Configurations” for details.
9-5
Alarm
For parameters of general alarms, you need to set the alarm level and 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 according to the alarm level selected. Intelligent alarm gradation is available on ECG, NIBP,
PR, AwRR and SpO2 (excluding Nellcor SpO2) and not other parameter.
For parameters subject to intelligent alarm gradation, the procedures to set alarm limit are the same. For
example:
1) Select the ECG parameter area to enter the setup menu → [Alarm Limit Setup].
2) Set the appropriate high and low limits for the parameter.
For parameters subject to general alarms, the procedures to set alarm limit are the same. For example:

2) Select the check box at the lower left corner of the setup window of the corresponding parameter to
toggle the alarm level.
3) Set the appropriate high and low limits for the parameter under the current level.
The monitor can automatically set the 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 inappropriate, you need
to manually set the alarm limits.
Follow the steps to set auto alarm limit:
Enter [User Maintain] → [Alarm Setup] → [Auto Alarm Limit].
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 value has been consistently beyond the alarm limit for 5s, 10s, 15s, 20s, respectively.

Chapter 11 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, 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 monitor is suitable for three-lead, five-lead or twelve-lead monitoring. It can also be used for ECG
monitoring using external defibrillation electrode paddles and multi-functional electrode pads. Different
waveforms are displayed according to ECG cables of different leads.
Warning
During defibrillation, do not contact the patient, table or equipment.
Before monitoring, ensure that ECG cable is properly connected. If the ECG cable is
disconnected from the connector, the monitor displays the prompt message “ECG Lead Off”
and sounds an alarm.
Use only ECG electrodes and cables specified by Comen.
The ECG cable with defibrillation-proof protection should be used when conducting
defibrillation.
Different metal materials cannot be used for the electrodes.
Do not use if the electrode package or electrode has signs of damage.
Please do not mix electrodes of different types and brands. Mixing the electrodes may result in
a large baseline drift or a longer recovery time after defibrillation.
When connecting the electrodes or patient cable, ensure that the patient does not come into
contact with any other conductive parts or the ground. Confirm that all ECG electrodes
(including neutral electrode) are attached the patient’s body.
Check whether the ECG electrode patch or paddle has irritation to the skin every day. If there
is any sign of allergy, replace the electrode or paddle or change its position.
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
monitor, causing failure to monitor an asystole.
Equipment such as defibrillator and remote measurement unit can generate a filtered ECG
signal. When this signal is used as the input signal for bedside monitor, it is filtered again. If
11-1
ECG Monitoring
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 asystole.
This failure degrades the performance of the equipment when it is used for monitoring patients
with pacemakers.
During defibrillation, the ECG cable connected to the patient may get damaged. When reusing
such cables, you should check that function properly.
If electrodes are used correctly and attached according to the manufacturer’s instructions, the
ECG parameter on monitor screen recovers within 5safter defibrillation. For electro surgery or
defibrillation, the measurement accuracy may be reduced temporarily, but this accuracy will
not affect the safety of the patient or the equipment.
When the monitor is connected to an electrosurgical unit (ESU), in order to protect the patient
from injury caused by leakage current, do not put the sensors and cables of the equipment in
contact with the ESU.
Do not expose the monitor to X-ray and high-intensity magnetic fields.
Note
Interference from ungrounded equipment near the patient, as well as ESU interference may
result in a waveform problem. If the monitor 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 equipment in a place near the monitor if ECG/RESP is being measured.
If the ECG electrode is correctly placed but the ECG waveform is still inaccurate, replace the
leads.
To protect the environment, recycle and dispose used electrode patches appropriately.
Dot not to use external paddles to conduct ECG monitoring.
If the source of the selected ECG signal is not available, the ECG waveform will be shown as a

ECG Monitoring
Warning
When using an ESU, never place electrodes close to the ground plate of the ESU; otherwise
there is too much interference against the ECG signal.
When the monitor is connected to an electrosurgical unit (ESU), in order to protect the patient
from injury caused by leakage current, do not put the sensors and cables of the equipment in
contact with the ESU.
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 waveform 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 waveform
may become very small.
Note
When monitoring the patient with 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 asystole.
When changing patient info or admitting/discharging a patient, check whether [Pace] is set
correctly.
When monitoring the patient with pacemaker, sometimes a part of pacemaker pulses cannot
be shielded. If pacemaker pulses are counted as QRS complex, it results in wrong heart rate
computation and failure to detect asystole or some arrhythmias. At this point, closely observe
the patient.

Apex paddle
Attention
When conducting ECG monitoring, the external paddles and pads can only be placed in the
anterior-lateral position.
11-8
ECG Monitoring
It is important to properly set the patient's pacing status before starting ECG monitoring. When [Pace] is set to
"On" and the pacing signal is detected, it is indicated by on the ECG waveform and symbol in the
patient information area; when the pacemaker is set to "Off", is only prompted in the patient information
Warning
For the patient without pacemaker, [Pace] must 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 admitted 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.
ECG cables with different leads can be used to monitor different ECG waveforms. You can use the 3-lead, 5-
lead and 12-Lead ECG cables with the monitor.
When the 3-lead ECG cable is used, leads for monitoring include I, II and III. In the standard screen, ECG
wave of at most 1 lead is displayed.
When the 5-lead ECG cable is used, leads for monitoring include I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF and V. In the
standard screen, ECG wave of at most 2 leads are displayed.
When the 12-lead ECG cable is used, leads for monitoring include I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF,V1, V2, V3, V4,
V5, and V6. In the standard screen, ECG wave of at most 2 leads are displayed.

ECG Monitoring
When the lead type of the monitor is set to [Auto], the monitor automatically recognizes the leads for
monitoring.
Set the lead type for the ECG cable of the monitor:
1) Select the ECG parameter area to enter the setup menu → [Lead Type] → [3 Leads], [5 Leads], [12
Leads] or [Auto].
When [Smart Lead Off] is ON, if the lead of the current channel comes off, the monitor automatically
switches to a channel where the lead is not off. When the lead that comes off is reconnected, the monitor
automatically switches back to the original channel.
Enable or disable this function:
1) Select the ECG parameter area to enter the setup menu → [Other Setup].
In the standard screen, when 3 Leads is selected as the lead type, only one ECG wave is displayed; when 5
Leads or 12 Leads is selected, two ECG waves are displayed.
1) Select the ECG wave to enter the [ECG Wave] menu → [Lead Name]
If the wave size is too big or too small, you can change the displaying size of wave by setting the gain. The
gain setting will not affect ECG signal analysis of the monitor. With the wave and the 1mv scale provided on
the right side of the wave, you can obtain the optimal wave.
1) Select one ECG wave to enter the [ECG Wave] menu → [Gain].
Note
When the input signal is too strong, the wave crest may be cut off. In such case the user can
manually change the gain level of ECG wave according to the actual wave to avoid incomplete
wave display.
11-10
ECG Monitoring
Filter Mode: Clearer or more accurate waves can be obtained through filtering. Four filter modes are available.
In the Diagnosis mode, ECG waves displayed are those without filtering.
In the monitor mode, the monitor filters artifacts that may result in false alarms.
In the Surgery mode that usually used in the OR, the monitor reduces artifacts and interference from the
ESU.
In the ST filter mode, the distorted reflection of the ECG signal ST segment of the patient being
measured can be guaranteed, and high-frequency interference signal above 40Hz, including power
frequency interference, can be filtered effectively. In this mode, user obtains the value of ST segment of
the patient being measured by adjusting the position of ST segment analysis point.
The filter mode acts on two channels simultaneously, and can be displayed above the first ECG wave.
1) Select one ECG wave to enter the [ECG Wave] menu → [Filter Mode] → [Dia.], [Monitor], [Therapy] or
[ST].
Warning
The system provides raw signals only in the diagnosis mode. In the [Monitor] and [Therapy]
filter modes, the ECG wave distorts to different degrees. In this case, the system only provides
the basic ECG information, which greatly affects the result of ST segment analysis.
You are allowed to select the leads for HR computation and arrhythmia analysis. When setting the lead, make
sure that the following wave characteristics in this lead are satisfied:
a) Tall and narrow without notch.
11-11
ECG Monitoring

When [Pace] is turned off, [Pacer Reject] cannot be operated.
11.5.11 HR Source
You can set the HR source to determine whether HR value or PR value is displayed in the ECG parameter
area. The HR value color is consistent with the source parameter selected. Select the ECG parameter area to
enter [ECG Setup], and set [HR Source] as follows:
[ECG]: The ECG parameter area displays the HR value, and the heartbeat sound is provided.
[SpO2]: The ECG parameter area displays the pulse rate value from SpO2, and the pulse sound is
provided.
[ART], [PA], [UAP], [BAP], [FAP], [P1], [P2], [P3], [P4], [LV], [AO]: Specific pressure parameters
from IBP as the source; display the pulse rate value from IBP (The pressure parameter selected as the
source depends on which pressure parameter is monitored by the monitor).
When [Mul. Lead Analysis] is turned on, the ECG setting of [Calculate Lead] become invalid. The module
intelligently selects the lead with good ECG wave for HR computation calculation.
1) Select the ECG parameter area to enter the setup menu→[Other Setup].
11.5.13 Cascade
Cascade is for user to observe the designated real-time ECG waveform for a long period of time. The Cascade
screen shows a cascade waveform of the same lead. In any working mode of the monitor, you can select ECG
waveform and turn on [Cascade]in the pop-up[ECG Wave]. The number of cascade waveforms displayed
11-13
ECG Monitoring
depends on the number of ECG waves present in the current screen. The operation over one of the ECG waves
also applies to other ECG waves.
Note
In the screen of [12-Lead ECG], [cascade] is not selectable.
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 calculated data can
be displayed as the ST value. All available leads can be monitored continuously. For ST segment analysis, it
is unnecessary to display ECG waveform on the monitor. During ST segment analysis, a special filter should
be used to ensure the diagnosis quality. If you use an ECG filter mode other than [ST] to monitor ECG, the ST
segment of ECG wave may be slightly different in appearance from the ST segment of ST fragment for the
same waveform. To perform diagnostic assessment of ST segment, always switch to the [ST] filter mode.
In the ST segment analysis, the elevation or depression of ST segment on the designated lead can be measured.
Meaning of ST segment value: A positive number represents elevation; a negative number represents
depression.
ST segment measurement range: -2.0 ~ +2.0mV.
Presence of arrhythmia (e.g., atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter) that can cause irregular baseline.
Warning
This monitor provides information about changes in ST level, the clinical significance of should
be determined by a doctor.
1) Select the ECG parameter area to enter the Setup menu → [ST Analysis].
11-14
ECG Monitoring
Set the R wave peak point as the reference point for ST measurement point. The ST value for each beat
complex is the vertical difference between ISO point and ST measurement point. See the figure below:
R wave
J Difference= ST value
ISO point
ST measurement point
Note
If the HR value or ECG wave of the patient has changed obviously, you should adjust the
position of ISO and ST points. Abnormal QRS complex is not considered for ST segment
analysis.
Ensure that the position of ST measuring point is suitable for the patient.
3) Select [Adjust ST Point] to enter the [ST Analysis] window: three vertical lines are ISO, Jand ST,
respectively.
4) Select [ST Lead] to switch the measurement lead. Each time the shuttle is pressed, the name of the ST in
the window changes once, and an obvious ECG lead of the J point and the P wave is selected.
5) Select the points of [ISO (ms)] and [ST (ms)], press the button to adjust, and [J] to confirm the position
of each point.
The cursor position of ISO point is related to R wave peak equipotential. Use to locate the
ISO point in the middle of the flattest part 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 peak. 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

Chapter 12 Manual Defibrillation and Synchronized Cardioversion
12.1 Overview
This chapter introduces how to conduct manual defibrillation and synchronized cardioversion by using pads
and external paddles.
It is necessary to assess patient’s cardiac rhythm correctly and decide whether to conduct asynchronous
defibrillation or synchronized cardioversion before manual defibrillation. Select proper energy level to charge
the defibrillator. During defibrillation, the screen will display text message to indicate the users how to
operate.
In manual defibrillation mode, beside ECG, the monitor can monitor three more physiological parameter. The
physiological parameters displayed on the interface can be adjusted through [Screen Layout].
In manual defibrillation mode, if NIBP measurement is being conducted when charging the defibrillator,
NIBP measurement will stop. After shock or disarming the defibrillator, NIBP measurement will auto start if
NIBP measure mode is auto, while NIBP measurement can be started manually if the measure mode is manual.
The alarm is disabled by default when entering the manual defibrillation mode and you can press alarm pause
key to enable the alarms.
Danger
Do not conduct defibrillation in the presence of oxygen-rich atmospheres. When conducting
defibrillation on the patient with oxygen catheter, place the oxygen catheter properly. Do not put
it near the pads to avoid fire and explosion.
During defibrillation, do not allow pads to touch each other or touch ECG electrodes, lead wires,
dressings, etc. Otherwise electrical arcing and patient skin burns could be caused.
During defibrillation, do not touch patient and conductive material (including bed and stretcher)
connected with the patient to avoid potential injury and death.
During defibrillation, do not touch conductive liquid like saline solution, blood and conductive
gel and conductive material like bed and stretcher to avoid forming current path.
Do not use wet hands or the hands with conductive gel to handle the paddles, or the operators
may be shocked.
Warning
Do not use liquid conductive agent. Only the conductive gel specified by Comen can be used.
Do not attach the paddles to your body to verify whether the paddles are connected well.
When using the paddles, put the paddles on patient flatly and push them with equal strength. Do
not push the paddles with too much strength, or patient could be injured.
Select appropriate defibrillation energy level for children.
During synchronized cardioversion, if ECG waveform is obtained through external paddles, the
12-1
Manual Defibrillation and Synchronized Cardioversion
artifacts caused by paddles’ movement may be similar to R wave and trigger defibrillation
shock.
Caution
After therapy, the conductive gel on the paddles should be cleaned immediately to prevent the
paddles from corrosion.
The medical device which has no defibrillation protection shall be disconnected from the patient
during defibrillation.
Attention
Too high impedance could have a great impact on patient’s therapy. Reduce the impact caused
by high impedance to the utmost. When prompt message “Impedance Too High” appears, please
check whether patient skin is clean and dry and whether chest hair has been shaved. If the
prompt message is still there, please replace pads or pads cable.
Alarms are disabled by default when entering asynchronous defibrillation mode with text
message “Alarm Off” displayed in physiological alarm message area. You can enable alarms by
pressing alarm pause key, entering synchronized cardioversion mode or switching to monitor
mode or pacer mode.

Chapter 13 Noninvasive Pacing
13.1 Overview
Noninvasive pacing therapy is used to deliver rhythmical pulse to patient’s heart through the pads. When
delivering the pacing pulse once, a white pacing mark will appear on ECG waveform. In the demand pacing
mode, the white R wave mark will appear above ECG waveform until electrical capture occurs.
In pacer mode, the physiological parameters except RESP can be monitored and trigger alarms.
During demand pacing, ECG monitoring should be performed by using ECG electrodes and 3-lead, 5-lead or
12-lead ECG cable. Pacing pulse is delivered through pads, but pads are not capable of monitoring ECG and
delivering pacing pulse at the same time.
Warning
For conducting pacing therapy on the patient with oxygen catheter, please place the oxygen catheter
properly and do not put it near the pads to avoid fire and explosion.
During pacing, the heart rate and alarms given by the monitor may be inaccurate. Keep the patient
under close surveillance and do not rely entirely on the heart rate displayed on the screen.
Caution
If pacing needs to be conducted for a long period, you should check the skin in touch with ECG
electrodes and pads and replace ECG electrodes and pads periodically.
For conducting therapy on the patient with implanted device (like permanent pacemaker or
cardioverter-defibrillator), please consult the doctors or refer to the user manual of the
implanted device.
Attention
Pacer mode supports arrhythmia analysis and give arrhythmia alarms including Asystole,
Ventricular Fibrillation and Ventricular Tachycardia.
If pacing is interrupted for some reason, press [Start Pace] soft button to continue pacing.
In pacer mode, the pacing state of the patient cannot be changed.
If pads do not contact well, prompt message “Pacer Stopped abnormally” and “Electrode Pad
Off” will be displayed.
In pacer mode, pads cannot be used to monitor ECG waveform.
13-1
Noninvasive Pacing
In pacer mode, the monitor can display one ECG waveform and other physiological parameters monitored. In
the pacing message area, such information related to pacing as pacing mode shortcut key, pacing message,
pacing alarm, pacing current and pacing rate will be displayed.
Two pacing modes are provided by the monitor: [Demand Pace] and [Fixed Pace].
Demand pace: the monitor will deliver pacing pulse only when patient’s heart rate is lower than the set
pacing rate.
Fixed pace: the monitor will deliver pacing pulse at the set pacing rate.
During pacing, you can change the pacing mode through the pacing mode shortcut key. The pacing will not
stop when changing the pacing mode and will continue to deliver pacing pulse at the set pacing rate and as the
set pacing current.
Attention
Use demand pacing for most patients. Use fixed pacing only when there is no reliable R wave
detected or there is no available monitoring shock due to interference.
In fixed pacing mode, there is no R wave mark above the pacing QRS complex.
In demand pacing mode, if patient’s heart rate is higher than the pacing rate, the monitor will
not deliver pacing pulse and there will be no pacing mark either.

Chapter 14 AED
14.1 Overview
In AED (Automatic External Defibrillation) mode, the Defibrillator Monitor will analyze patient’s ECG
waveform automatically and indicate the users to operate according to the cardiac rhythm monitored.
The monitor starts to perform intelligent analysis after entering AED mode. When a shock able rhythm is
detected, the Defibrillator Monitor will give ―shock advised‖ prompt and start to auto charge immediately. If
the patient is found to be unsuitable for electric shock, enter a state where no electric shock is recommended.
Defibrillation intelligence analysis continues throughout the AED process. Defibrillation intelligence analysis
is stopped when the defibrillation monitor enters the CPR state or an abnormality occurs in the connection of
multi-functional electrode pads.
In AED mode, only the ECG signals acquired through the multi-functional electrode pads are displayed. The
monitor will turn off the alarm and parameter measurements, and it is forbidden to enter patient information.
Lead Select, Alarm Pause, NIBP, and Menu buttons are all inactive.
Before entering the AED mode to treat patients, go to the [Config Manage] → [AED Setup] screen to set the
AED routine. See 7.3 AED Settings for details.
Danger
Do not conduct defibrillation in the presence of oxygen-rich atmospheres. When conducting
defibrillation on the patient with oxygen catheter, place the oxygen catheter properly. Do not put
it near the pads to avoid fire and explosion.
During defibrillation, do not allow pads to touch each other or touch ECG electrodes, lead wires,
dressings, etc. Otherwise electrical arcing and patient skin burns could be caused.
During defibrillation, do not touch patient and conductive material (including bed and stretcher)
connected with the patient to avoid potential injury and death.
During defibrillation, do not touch conductive liquid like saline solution, blood and conductive
gel and conductive material like bed and stretcher to avoid forming current path.
Warning
During defibrillation, the bubble between pads and patient skin will cause patient skin burns.
Make sure that pads are placed to patient skin tightly to avoid bubbles.
Do not use dry pads. Use the pads immediately after unpacking them.
AED is only applicable to the patients more than eight years old.
Caution
For the patients with pacemaker, the sensitivity and specificity of AED analysis may decline.
Improper operation on pads during storage or before use will damage the pads. Do not use the
damaged pads.
14-1
AED
In AED mode, the Defibrillator Monitor will only display one ECG waveform detected by pads and HR value
calculated from this displayed waveform. The AED message area at the middle of AED interface will display
AED prompt message, contact impedance indicator (settable), shock times and so on.

14-2
AED
The monitor will analyze patient’s cardiac rhythm based on the ECG waveform detected by pads and
give a warning of ―Not Contact Patient‖. When a shock able rhythm is detected, the Defibrillator Monitor
will start to auto charge immediately.
The voice prompt can be enabled or disabled in [Config Manage] menu or by pressing the soft button
below .
6. If there is a shock advised, press the Shock button on the front panel.
After charge completes, the monitor will give out ―Do not touch patient! Press shock button‖ voice
prompt. At this moment, check that no one touches the patient and accessories or equipment connected
with the patient and shout out ―STAND CLEAR‖ loudly and clearly. Then press the Shock button on the
front panel to deliver a shock.
After shock, the monitor will give ―Energy Delivered‖ voice prompt and text message. The shock times on the
screen will update to indicate the number of shocks has been delivered. If the [Serial Shock Times] is set as
more than one, the monitor will restart to analyze patient’s cardiac rhythm after a shock being delivered and
estimate whether the shock is successful. There will be voice prompt and text message for indicating the users
to perform more shocks.
Attention
Do not place pads in the anterior-posterior position. The AED algorithm of this monitor has
not been verified under the anterior-posterior placement.
Keep patient still during cardiac rhythm analysis in order to prevent misdiagnosis and delayed
diagnosis.
The monitor will not deliver shocks automatically. Shocks will only be delivered by pressing
Shock button.
Too high impedance could have a great impact on patient’s therapy. Reduce the impact caused
by high impedance to the utmost. When prompt message “Impedance Too High” appears,
please check whether patient skin is clean and dry and whether chest hair has been shaved. If
the prompt message is still there, please replace pads or pads cable.
If the shock able cardiac rhythm is detected, the defibrillator will be auto charged to the set energy level and
charge tone will be given out. The Shock button will flash after charge completes.
14-3
AED
The cardiac rhythm analysis will continue during charge. If the situation that the cardiac rhythm has changed
and is not suitable for shock before delivering a shock is detected, the defibrillator will disarm the energy
automatically.
After the monitor gives out voice prompt ―Do not touch patient! Press shock button.‖, if the users do not press
Shock button during the interval set in [Auto Disarm Time], the defibrillator will disarm the energy
automatically and restart cardiac rhythm analysis.
Press [Pause Analysis] soft button to disarm the defibrillator at any time during charge or after charge
completes.
Initial shock energy recommended for adult patient is 200J.
When there is no shock able rhythm detected, the monitor will give ―No Shock Advised!‖ prompt message.
If NSA process mode is set as:
[CPR]: Enter CPR, the monitor will give out voice prompt ―No shock advised, Pause, if needed, start
CPR‖ and display text prompt ―Pause, If Needed, Begin CPR‖ in AED message area. CPR countdown
will also appear.
[Continue Analysis]: The monitor will continue to monitor patient’s ECG and analyze the potentially
shock able cardiac rhythm. Before shock able cardiac rhythm being detected, the monitor will give out
voice prompt ―No shock advised. If needed, pause analysis for CPR‖ repeatedly and display ―No Shock
Advised!‖ and ―Being Monitoring....‖ text prompt circularly. The frequency of the language prompt can
be set in [Voice Interval] in [AED Setup].
You can press [Pause Analysis] soft button to stop analysis and start CPR. [CPR Time] can be set in [AED
Setup].
After CPR, the monitor will resume analysis, or during CPR, you can press [Recovery Analysis] soft button to
resume cardiac rhythm analysis.

If the [Pre-Shock CPR Time] isn’t set to [Off], the system will enter initial CPR after entering AED mode.
The users can set the pre-shock CPR time or disable the initial CPR function in [Pre-Shock CPR Time].
After finishing the serial shocks, the monitor will pause analysis and enter CPR. The CPR countdown will
start and voice prompt ―Pause, If Needed, Begin CPR‖ will be given out. After CPR, the monitor will resume
analysis. During CPR, you can press [Recovery Analysis] soft button to resume cardiac rhythm analysis.
During serial shocks, if you press [Pause Analysis] soft button after a shock delivered, the monitor will enter
CPR. The CPR duration can be set in [CPR Time] in [AED Setup].
14-4
AED
After enter CPR, the monitor provides the CPR metronome function and indicates the operators to press the
patient’s chest 120 times per minute which is recommended by AHA/ERC and perform ventilation.
You can enable and disable the CPR metronome function in [CPR Metronome] in [AED Setup].
The CPR metronome is turned on by default. With the CPR metronome turned on, you can set the CPR
compression/ventilation ratio by selecting [CPR Mode]. The default compression/ventilation ratio is 30:2.
Warning
CPR metronome doesn’t prompt the current condition of the patient. The operators should assess
patient’s condition constantly because patient’s condition may vary in a very short period. Do not
perform CPR on the patients with response and normal breathing.
Attention
CPR metronome can be affected by the on/off state of AED voice prompt and the settings of
voice volume.
In AED mode, the system can tape the whole therapy process.
You can enable the audio recording function by accessing [Config Manage]→[AED Setup]→[Audio
Recording]and select [On].
After audio recording function is enabled, symbol will appear at the upper right corner of the AED
message area.
The system can store audio recording up to 240 min and store audio recording of 60 min for each patient.
14-5
Chapter 15 Resp Monitoring
The monitor measures the RESP based on the thoracic impedance between the two electrodes. The changes of
such impedance caused by thoracic movements generate a RESP wave on the screen. The RR is calculated
from such wave.
1 3
2
1. Resp Waveform 2. Resp Alarm Limit 3. Value
In Resp measurement, it is important to prepare the skin properly for electrode placement. Refer to the ECG
measurement for relevant information.
The Resp signals are measured through the two ECG electrodes. When the ECG electrodes are placed in
standard position, the Resp can be measured through the electrode RA and electrode LL.
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. When that the Resp
electrodes collect the rhythmic blood flow causes the impedance changes, the phenomenon occurs. Proper
placement of electrodes can reduce cardiac superposition. Avoid the liver area and ventricles in the line
between the electrodes, which is especially important to neonates.
15-1
Resp Monitoring
3) Abdominal Respiration
Some patients may have restricted thoracic movements and rely mainly on abdominal respiration. To obtain
the best Resp waveform, place the electrode LL on the left abdomen with strongest expansion, as shown
below:
Attention
Place the green and red electrodes diagonally for the best respiratory wave. The liver region
and ventricle should be avoided by connecting them to the respiratory electrodes, so as to avoid
the false difference of cardiac coverage or pulsating blood flow, which is especially important
for newborns.
Respiratory monitoring is not appropriate for patients with a high range of activity because it
can lead to false alarms.
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
computation method.
15-2
Resp Monitoring
[Auto] mode:
The monitor automatically 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.
Select [Auto] mode if:
The RR is not approximate to the HR;
The patient relies on mechanical ventilation (except intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV)).
[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].
Select [Manual] mode if:
The RR is approximate to the HR;
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 do not improve the Resp detection level due to small Resp waveform size, follow the
instructions of Lateral Thoracic Expansion in Section 15.3.1 Optimization of Lead Position to optimize the
position of the electrodes.
15.5.1 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 Wave] and select an appropriate [Gain].
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 automatically selects the appropriate Resp lead.
1) Select the Resp parameter area to enter [Resp Setup] → [Resp Lead].
15-3
Resp Monitoring
No-breath detection is to detect the longest interval between two respirations. When the actual no-breath time
of the patient exceeds the set no-breath time, the monitor responds 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 [Resp 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 [Close], [10s], [15s], [20s], [25s], [30s], [35s], [40s], [45s], [50s], [55s] or
[1min].
If you select [Close], the alarm delay function will be disabled.
This parameter is designed to filter out the Resp interference. Its default is [On].
1) Select the Resp wave area to enter [Resp Wave].
Note
In Resp measurement, the monitor cannot recognize any obstructive or mixed nobreathing but
trigger an alarm when the interval between two respirations exceeds the set time.
15-4
Chapter 16 SpO2 Monitoring
16.1 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, not for Nellcor SpO2): pulse signal strength as the percentage of pulsatile signal to non-
pulsatile signal.
Warning
If there is any carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), methemoglobin (MetHb) or dye dilution
chemical, the SpO2 value has a deviation.
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 left side sensor connector of the monitor:
Comen SpO2 sensor:
Sensor connector: circular white connector at the side panel;
Silkscreened logo: SpO2.
Masimo SpO2 sensor:
Sensor connector: circular blue connector at the side panel;
Silkscreened logo: MasimoSET.
Nellcor SpO2 sensor:
Sensor connector: circular blue connector at the side panel;
Silkscreened logo: Nellcor.
The information about wavelength range and maximum optical output power of the sensor is useful to the
clinician for some therapy, for example, photodynamic therapy.
The Comen SpO2 sensor can measure a wavelength of 660nm (red LED) or 905nm (IR LED).
16-1
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 905nm (IR LED).
The maximum optical output power of the sensor is lower than 15mW.
Warning
The monitor can automatically recognize the SpO2 sensor type. However, the monitor is
connfigured with a specific internal SpO2 hardware before delivery, the monitor cannot
measure SpO2 if using a incompatible sensor.
Pleth waveform Signal Identification and Quality Alarm limit SpO2 value PI value
Warning
The monitor is compatible with the SpO2 sensor designated by Comen only. Before monitoring
the patient, check the sensor and extension cord are compatible with the monitor. Incompatible
accessories reduce the performance of the monitor.
Before monitoring the patient, check the sensor cable works properly. Remove the SpO2 sensor
cable from the sensor interface and the monitor displays the prompt message “SpO2Finger off”
and triggers the alarm sound.
If the SpO2 sensor or its package seems damaged, do not use it. Return the damaged product to
the manufacturer.
Long-time continuous monitoring increases 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, adhere the sensors properly and check the sensors position regularly
based on skin quality (change the sensor position when the skin quality decreases). Perform such
check frequently if necessary (subject to the condition of the patient).
Make sure the sensor cable and the electrosurgical equipment cable are not intertwined.
Do not place the sensor on a limb with ductus arteriosus or intravenous tube.
Setting the high SpO2 alarm limit to 100% disables the high-limit alarm. Premature infants may
16-2
SpO2 Monitoring
get infected with crystalline posterior fibrous tissue diseases in case of high SpO2. Please set the
high SpO2 alarm limit cautiously based on recognized clinical practices.
The pulse oximeter is to be operated by, or under the supervision of, qualified personnel only.
The manual, accessories, directions for use, all precautionary information, and specifications
should be read before use.
As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient
entanglement or strangulation.
Do not place the pulse oximeter or accessories in any position where it might fall on the patient.
Do not start or operate the pulse oximeter unless the setup was verified to be correct.
Do not use the pulse oximeter during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or in an MRI
environment.
Do not use the pulse oximeter if it appears or is suspected to be damaged.
Explosion hazard: Do not use the pulse oximeter in the presence of flammable anesthetics or
other flammable substances in combination with air or nitrous oxide or in oxygen-enriched
environment.
To ensure safety, avoid stacking multiple equipment or placing anything on the equipment
during operation.
To protect against injury, follow the directions below:
Do not soak or immerse the equipment in liquids.
Do not attempt to sterilize the equipment.
Use cleaning solutions only as instructed in this operator's manual.
Do not attempt to clean the equipment while monitoring a patient.
To protect from electric shock, always remove the sensor and completely disconnect the pulse
oximeter before bathing the patient.
If any measurement seems questionable, first check the patient’s vital signs by alternate means
and then check the pulse oximeter for proper functioning.
Inaccurate SpO2 readings may be caused by:
Improper sensor application and placement.
Elevated levels of COHb or MetHb: High levels of COHb or MetHb may occur with a
seemingly normal SpO2. When elevated levels of COHb or MetHb are suspected, laboratory
analysis (CO-Oximetry) of a blood sample should be performed.
Elevated levels of bilirubin.
Elevated levels of dyshemoglobin.
Vasospastic disease, such as Raynaud’s, and peripheral vascular disease.
Hemoglobinopathies and synthesis disorders such as thalassemias, such as thalassemias,
Hbs, Hbc, sickle cell, etc.
Hypocapnic or hypercapnic conditions.
Severe anemia
Very low arterial perfusion.
16-3
SpO2 Monitoring
Cautions
Do not place the pulse oximeter where the patient can control it.
Electrical shock and flammability hazard: Before cleaning, always turn off the equipment and
disconnect from any power supply.
When patients are undergoing photodynamic therapy they may be sensitive to light sources.
Pulse oximeter may be used only under careful clinical supervision for short time periods to
minimize interference with photodynamic therapy.
Do not place the pulse oximeter on electrical equipment that may affect the normal work of the
oximeter equipment
If SpO2 values indicate the possibility of the hypoxemia, a laboratory blood sample should be
taken to confirm the patient’s condition.
If using pulse oximeter during full body irradiation, keep the sensor out of the radiation field. If
16-4
SpO2 Monitoring
the sensor is exposed to the radiation, the reading might be inaccurate or the equipment might
be zero for the duration of the active irradiation period.
To ensure that alarm limits are appropriate for the patient monitored, check the limits each time
the pulse oximeter is used.
Variation in measurements may be profound and may be affected by sampling technique as well
as the patient's physiological conditions. Any results exhibiting inconsistency with the patient’s
clinical status should be repeated and/or supplemented with additional test data. Blood samples
should be analyzed by laboratory instruments prior to clinical decision made to completely
understand the patient’s condition.
Do not submerge the pulse oximeter in any cleaning solution or attempt to sterilize by autoclave,
irradiation, steam, gas, ethylene oxide or any other method. This will seriously damage the pulse
oximeter.
Electrical Shock Hazard: Carry out periodic tests to verify that leakage currents of patient-
applied circuits and the system are within acceptable limits as specified by the applicable safety
standards. The summation of leakage currents must be checked and in compliance with IEC
60601-1 and UL60601-1. The system leakage current must be checked when connecting external
equipment to the system. When an event such as a component drop of approximately 1 meter or
greater or a spillage of blood or other liquids occurs, retest before further use. Injury to
personnel could occur.
Disposal of product - Comply with local laws in the disposal of the equipment and/or its
accessories.
To minimize radio interference, other electrical equipment that emits radio frequency
transmissions should not be in close proximity to the pulse oximeter.
Notes
High-intensity extreme lights (such as pulsating strobe lights) directing on the sensor may not
allow the pulse oximeter to provide vital sign readings.
Cautions
If the Low Perfusion message is frequently displayed, find a better perfused monitoring site. In
the interim, assess the patient and, if indicated, verify oxygenation status through other means.
Replace the cable or sensor if the instructions in the manual after firstlytried don't work when a
low SIQ message is displayed in the process of consistently monitoring patients. after completing
troubleshooting steps listed in this manual.
16-5
SpO2 Monitoring
Notes
When using the Maximum Sensitivity setting, performance of the "Sensor Off" detection may be
compromised. If the equipment is in this setting and the sensor becomes dislodged from the
patient, the potential for false readings may occur due to environmental "noise" such as light,
vibration, and excessive air movement.
Do not loop the patient cabling into a tight coil or wrap around the equipment, as this can
damage the patient cabling.
Additional information specific to the Masimo sensors compatible with the pulse oximeter,
including information about parameter/measurement performance during motion and low
perfusion, may be found in the sensor's directions for use (DFU).
Cables and sensors are provided with X-Cal™ technology to minimize the risk of inaccurate
readings and unanticipated loss of patient monitoring. Refer to the Cable or Sensor DFU for the
specified duration of the patient monitoring time.
Warning
A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of the pulse oximeter.
Assess the SpO2 accuracy by comparing the readings respectively on the monitor and CO-oxygen pressure
gauge.
This monitor measures 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.
16-6
SpO2 Monitoring
Warning
Place the SpO2 sensor properly based on the SpO2 sensor type. This is especially important
for neonates.
Monitor SpO2:
1) Set the patient type;
2) Insert the SpO2 cable connector into the SpO2connectorof the monitor;
16-7
SpO2 Monitoring
In operations, the following factors may affect the SpO2 measurement accuracy:
1) High-frequency radio interference, whether from the monitor or from the electrosurgical equipment
connected to the monitor. To minimize radio interference, other electrical equipment that emits high-
2) Do not use the oximeter or SpO2 sensor during MRI scanning, or the induced current may cause burns.
3) Intravenous dyes.
16-8
SpO2 Monitoring
8) The sensor is placed on a limb with blood pressure cuff, ductus arteriosus or intravenous tube.
12) The shock, anemia, hypothermia and vasoconstrictors may reduce the arterial blood flow to a level that is
not measureable.
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.
1) Select the SpO2 parameter area to enter [SpO2 Setup] → [SatSecond] (Saturation Seconds).
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 high and low alarm limit of
NELLCOR SpO2 respectively to 97% and 90%, and the measured SpO2 value keeps at 80% for 3s and then to
78% for 2s, the monitor will provide audible and visual alarm indications 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
(90%-80%) × 3 = 30
(90%-78%) × 2 = 24

If smart pulse tone is enabled, you can hear the pulse tone even when the signal is unstable or the equipment is
in a noisy environment. You won’t hear the pulse tone in the case of unstable signal or ambient noise if this
function is disabled.
Set [Smart Tone]:
1) Select the SpO2 parameter area to enter [SpO2 Setup].

SpO2 Monitoring
If you do not select [ON], the weak perfusion caused by NIBP measurement leads to inaccurate SpO2
measurement or trigger aphysiologicalSpO2 alarm when the NIBP measurement and SpO2measurement
are performed on the same limb.
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 marks its
location on the vertical line (signal indicator). The smart tone volume (if enabled) remains consistent with the
indication in 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].
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

Chapter 17 NIBP Monitoring
17.1 Overview
NIBP monitoring is applicable to adults, children, neonates, pregnant women and pre-eclampsia patients
The monitor uses the vibration method (measuring the cuff pressure vibration amplitude) to measure the
noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP). Blood pressure changes cause the cuff vibration. The pulse wave range
varies from the cuff pressure and when the maximum pulse wave range is obtained, according to the
corresponding proportionality calculating the pulse wave ranges of systolic and diastolic pressure, the systolic
pressure and diastolic pressure can be obtained. The BP values measured by this equipment are equivalent to
the values measured by invasive method. The error complies with the requirements of IEC80601-2-30. The
brachial artery is selected for verification in the clinical trials using the invasive method.
When making measurements on children and newborns, it must be ensured that the correct mode setting has
been selected (see Patient Information Menu Settings). Using the wrong patient mode may jeopardize patient
safety as higher adult blood pressure levels are not applicable to children and newborns.
NIBP measurement can be applied in electrosurgical operations and defibrillator discharges according to
IEC80601-2-30.
The NIBP measurement results are displayed in the parameter area. The figure below is for reference only.
The actual display may be slightly different from this figure.

17-1
NIBP Monitoring
Warning
Before the NIBP measurement, make sure the selected monitoring mode is appropriate for the
patient (adult, pediatrics or neonate). It is dangerous to select a non-neonatal mode for
neonatal patients.
Do not place the cuff on a limb with intravenous infusion or cannula in place, 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 entangled.
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 could cause blood flow disturbance 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 disturbance will injure the patient.
Do not place the cuff on the arm at the same side as mastectomy.
The increasing cuff pressure could cause transient function failure to other monitoring
equipment used on the same limb.
2) Connect the inflation tube to the NIBP connector of the monitor without compressing or blocking the
pressure tube.
3) Use the correct size cuff and make sure the airbag is not folded or twisted.
An incorrect cuff size or a folded or twisted airbag causes 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%
17-2
NIBP Monitoring
of the limb.
4) Wrap and secure 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 wrap or secure the cuff too
tightly, or the distal extremity may suffer from discoloration or ischemia. Regularly check the skin
condition of the contact part and the color, temperature and feeling of the limb which wears the cuff.
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
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) ×
If the cuff is at a lower level than the heart: displayed NIBP value - 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) × level
difference (cm).
The vibration method has some restrictions, depending on the patient’s condition. The vibration method
detects the regular pulse wave generated by arterial pressure. If the patient’s condition makes it difficult to
detect such waves, the measured pressure value is unreliable and the pressure measurement time increases. In
the following cases, the pressure measurement is affected.
1) Patient Movement
If the patient is moving, trembling or under cramps, which may affect the detection of arterial pressure pulse,
the NIBP measurement is unreliable or impossible and the pressure measurement time will increase.
2) Arrhythmia
If the patient has irregular heartbeats due to arrhythmia, the NIBP measurement is unreliable or impossible
and the pressure measurement time increases.
17-3
NIBP Monitoring
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 is unreliable or impossible.
5) Severe Shock
If the patient is under severe shock or hypothermia, the NIBP measurement is unreliable as the reduced blood
flow to the periphery will cause lower arterial pulse.
6) Extreme HR
Do not perform the NIBP measurement if the HR is lower than 40bpm (beats per minute) or higher than
240bpm.
7) Obese Patient
Due to the thick fat layer of the limb, the vibration from the artery fails to reach the cuff, which causes lower
measurement accuracy than in normal weight cases.
8) Patient with Hypertension
To measure the NIBP of a patient with hypertension accurately, follow the steps below:
Adjust his/her sitting posture until:
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 the patient to relax as much as possible and not talk during the measurement.
Select the NIBP parameter area to enter the setup menu→[Measure Mode]→[Manual] or select quick key

Warning
The work mode of the Temp probe is the direct mode.
Before the Temp measurement, check if the Temp probe cable is in good condition. Remove the
Temp sensor cable from the Temp probe connector, and the monitor displays the prompt message
[T1 (T2) sensor off] and triggers the alarm sound.
Handle the Temp probe and cable with caution. When they are not in use, coil them loosely. Tight
coiling may cause mechanical damage to the cable.
Calibrate the Temp module at least every two years or as required by the hospital’s regulations.
Contact the manufacturer for calibration when necessary.
Note
Do not reuse any disposable Temp sensor.

Chapter 19 CO2 Monitoring
19.1 Overview
The monitor uses the CO2 measurement to monitor the patient’s respiration status and control patient’s
ventilation. There are two methods of measuring the CO2 in the patient’s airway:
Sidestream measurement method: take sample from the respiratory gas module in the patient’s airway at
a constant flow rate and use the built-in remote CO2module in the measurement system to analyze them.
The measurement principle is IR emission. Use the optical detector to measure the intensity of the infrared
rays penetrating the respiratory system. The intensity depends on the CO2 concentration as some infrared ray
is absorbed by CO2molecules.
The CO2 measurement involves the following parameters (see the figure below):
CO2 waveform ①
End-tidal CO2 (EtCO2): the maximum partial pressure ofCO2 at the end of respiration②
Fraction of inspiratory CO2 (FiCO2): the minimum CO2 value during inspiration ④
Airway respiration rate (AWRR): the respiration per minute calculated from the CO2 waveform ⑤
Measurement unit ⑥
④ ⑥
③ ② ⑤
Warning
Try to avoid collision and vibration of the CO2 module.
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.
19-1
CO2 Monitoring
The CO2 measurement principle is mainly based on the feature that CO2 can absorb infrared light with a
wavelength of 4.26 um. The measurement method is to send CO2 gas to the measurement chamber. One side
is irradiated with infrared rays, and the other side is measured by a sensor to measure the degree of attenuation
of the received infrared rays. The degree of attenuation is proportional to the CO2 concentration.
The conversion relational expression between CO2 partial pressure and CO2 concentration is:
CO2 partial pressure (mmHg) = CO2 concentration (%) ×Pamp (ambient pressure)
For instance: 5% CO2 at 760mmHg = 38mmHg
5% CO2 at 700mmHg = 35mmHg
The CO2 module uses the Auto run command measurement mode, and the waveform sampling rate is
performed every 31 milliseconds.
2) Wait for 10s (Masimo) or 2min (Respironics) until the module reaches its working temperature and a

respiration circuit, exactly between the elbow and the Y-shaped line of the ventilator.
5) Use the nasal cannula for the non-intubated patient: Place the nasal or oral-nasal O2 cannula onto the
patient’s face, connect the O2 supply line to the O2 supply system and set the O2 flow as directed.
Warning
Check the airway adapter before use. Replace the adapter if the airway adapter has any
exterior damage or breakage.

2) Connect the Nomoline sampling tube to the input port of the ISA analyzer.
3) Connect the cable of the ISA analyzer to the CO2connector of the monitor.
5) Enter the regular screen of the monitor and select [Screen Layout] to display the CO2 waveform and
parameter to be monitored (skip this step if the CO2 waveform and parameter are already displayed on
the screen).
7) Connect the gas sample outlet to the scavenging system or make the gas flow back to the patient circuit.
8) The green LED indicates that the ISA analyzer is ready for use.
9) Follow the steps in Section 19.5.2 to perform the checks before use.
10) Start the CO2 monitoring if all the checks are normal.
Perform the following operations before connecting the Nomoline sampling tube to the respiration circuit:
1) Connect the sampling tube to the gas inlet of the ISA CO2 module.
2) Check if the LED remains a steady green (an indication of normal system).
3) Exhale into the sampling tube and check if the monitor displays the effective CO2 waveform and value.
4) Block the sampling tube with a fingertip and wait for 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
To prevent the condensed water from dropping into the gas sampling tube and blocking it, the
gas sampling tube connection end of the airway adapter should point upwards.
19-6
CO2 Monitoring
Warning
Securely hang the external CO2 analyzer onto the CO2holder on the back housing of the
monitor so it does not fall and damage.
Unless HME is used to protect the IRMA sensor, the LED state indicator should face upwards
all the time during IRMA sensor placement.
Do not pull the cable of the ISA sidestream gas analyzer.
Do not operate the ISA sidestream Gas Analyzer in the environment beyond the designated
operating temperature.
Make sure all connections are firm and reliable. Any leakage will result in the inclusion of
ambient air in the patient’s respiratory gas, which leads to a wrong reading.
Follow the steps below to set CO2 work mode after connecting the CO2module to the monitor. Turn off the
CO2module for service life protection purpose once the CO2 measurement is stopped.

necessary: select [CO2] in the parameter area to enter [CO2 Setup] and then select [Zero] to zero the
CO2module. Keep the patient circuit in the ambient air (21% O2 and 0% CO2) for 30s in the zeroing process.
The CO2module is zeroed successfully when the prompt message ―Zeroing, please wait 30s‖ disappears.
19-9
CO2 Monitoring
19.8.1 Zeroing
In order to eliminate the effect of the baseline drift on measurement results and obtain accurate measurement
results, zero the sensor before using the CO2module to monitor the patient.
Usually, the CO2moduleis automatically 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
CO2module. Keep the patient circuit in the ambient air (21% O2 and 0% CO2) in the zeroing process. The
CO2module is zeroed successfully when the prompt message ―CO2 is zeroing‖ disappears.
The ISA CO2Module requires 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. If ISA sidestream gas Module is equipped with the oxygen sensor, auto-
zeroing will include the calibration of indoor air of the oxygen sensor.
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.

19-10
CO2 Monitoring
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, 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 displays 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 enters 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:
19-11
CO2 Monitoring
Warning
The ISA sidestream gas analyzer is intended for use by authorized healthcare professionals
only.
Carefully route the sampling line to reduce the risk of patient entanglement or strangulation.
Do not lift the ISA gas analyzer by the sampling line as it could disconnect from the ISA,
causing the ISA gas analyzer to fall on the patient.
Dispose Nomoline Family sampling lines in accordance with local regulations for biohazardous
waste.
Use only airway T-adapters with the sampling point in the center of the adapter.
Do only use sample lines intended for anesthetic agents if N2O and/or anesthetic agents are
being used.
Do not use T-adapter with infants, as this adds 7 ml dead space to the patient circuit.
Do not use the ISA gas analyzer with metered-dose inhalers or nebulized medications as this
may clog the bacteria filter.
Since a successful zeroing requires the presence of ambient air (21% O2 and 0% CO2), ensure
that the ISA is placed in a well ventilated place. Avoid breathing near the ISA sidestream gas
analyzer before or during the zeroing procedure.
Never sterilize or immerse the ISA sidestream gas analyzer in liquid.
The ISA sidestream gas analyzer is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must
be used in conjunction with other assessments of clinical signs and symptoms.
Measurements can be affected by mobile and portable RF communications equipment. Make
sure that the ISA sidestream gas analyzer is used in the electromagnetic environment specified
in this manual.
Replace the sampling line if the sampling line input connector starts flashing red, or the
medical backboard equipment displays a “Check sampling line” message.
No modification of this equipment is allowed without authorization of the manufacturer. If this
equipment is modified, appropriate inspection and testing must be conducted to ensure
continued safe operation.
The ISA sidestream gas analyzers are not designed for MRI environments.
During MRI scanning, ISA must be placed outside the MRI suite.
Use of high frequency electrosurgical equipment in the vicinity of the ISA/medical backboard
equipment may produce interference and cause incorrect measurements.
Caution
The ISA analyzers should be securely mounted in order to avoid the risk of damage to the ISA.
Do not operate the ISA sidestream gas analyzer outside the specified operating environment.
(US Only) Caution: Federal law restricts this equipment to sale by or on the order of a
physician.
For professional use. See instructions for use for full prescribing information, including
indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions and adverse events.
19-12
CO2 Monitoring
When the anesthetic gas airway is obstructed, on the screen there will be such a prompt message as ―Sampling
Line Clogged‖; under such a circumstance, replace the Nomoline sampling line.
Warning
Do not use the ISA gas analyzer together with a quantitative spraying agent or pulverization
treatment; otherwise it may result in the clogging of the germ filter.
When nitrous oxide and/or an anesthetic gas are/is used, you should prevent these gases from polluting the
operating room. The gas discharging outlet should be connected to (via the gas discharging pipe connected to
the sample gas outlet of the host equipment):
A discharging system (used for discharging collected gases) or the patient circuit (used for the back flowing of
collected gases)
Warning
Anesthetics: If you measure the parameter of a patient who is using or recently has usedan
anesthetic, the gas discharging port on the module must be connected to a scavenging system or
the patient circuit (on the anesthesia machine or the ventilator), so as to prevent medical
personnel from inhaling the anesthetic.
1. Connect a new Nomoline sampling line with male Luer lock to the ISA gas inlet connector and check
that the gas inlet connector shows a steady green light.
2. Connect a short silicon tubing with an inner diameter of 3/32‖ (2.4 mm) to the Nomoline male Luer.
3. Exhale a long breath into the silicon tubing until the CO2 concentration is greater than 4.5 vol% or 34
mmHg.
4. Quickly connect the silicon tubing tightly to the exhaust port.
5. Wait for 1 minute until the CO2 concentration has stabilized. Note the value.
6. Wait 1 minute and check that the CO2 concentration has not decreased more than 0.4 vol% or 3 mmHg.
If it has decreased more there is a major leakage in the ISA unit or in the Nomoline. Do not operate the
ISA if there is a major leakage in the unit.

CO2 Monitoring
19.8.10 Consumables
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
can remove the 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 reusable configurations.For instance, the
disposable Nomoline Airway adapter Set or a combination of the reusable Nomoline Adapter and a disposable
Nomoline Extension / T-adapter, is available for the intubated patient. For spontaneously breathing patients,
similarly a disposable Nomoline Nasal CO2 Cannula or a combination of the reusable Nomoline Adapter and
a disposable Nomoline Nasal CO2 Cannula (with Luer Connector) can be applied.
OR
The disposable Nomoline Airway Adapter Set is an alternative to the combination of the reusable Nomoline
Adapter and a disposable Nomoline Extension / T-adapter.
19-15
CO2 Monitoring
The Nomoline Adapter may be used with other third party sampling lines and cannulas. However, note that
the Nomoline Family sampling lines are designed for optimal performance and measurement 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 risk of sampling line occlusion (see below)
For optimal water handling, always use T-adapters with the sampling point in the center of the adapter, as
shown to the left above.
Note
Using sample tubes or cannulas with larger inner diameter than 1 mm will increase the response
time of ISA system.
19.8.11 Maintenance
The user should verify gas readings regularly; If any problem, contact an engineer of the manufacturer for
maintenance.
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 cloth to clean the analyzer..
In order to prevent the cleaning liquid and dust from entering into the ISA gas analyzer through the LEGI
connector, the Nomoline sampling line should be connected all the time during analyzer cleaning.
Warning
The Nomoline sampling line is not a sterile equipment. In order to prevent the sampling line
from causing damages, do not carry out high-pressure sterilization on any part of the sampling
line.
Do not sterilize the ISA sidestream gas analyzer and the IRMA probe or soak them into a
liquid.

IBP Monitoring
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
process. Once the defibrillation is complete, the monitor returns to normal within 10s and user configurations
remaining unaffected.
Note
Calibrate the sensor, whether new or used, regularly according to the relevant procedures of
the hospital.
1) Prepare the pressure tube and sensor by filling the system with the physiological saline solution. Make
2) Connect the patient catheter to the pressure tube. Make sure there is no air in the catheter, pressure tube
or sensor.
3) Plug the power cable into the relevant socket and check if the monitor is powered on.

Maintenance
During the use of monitor, ECG calibration is required when the ECG signal is inaccurate. ECG calibration
should be conducted by the serviceman approved by Comen at least once a year or when you doubt the
measured value.
Specific steps are as follows:
1. Enter [Main Menu]→[Maintain]→[User Maintain]→enter password →[ECG Calibrate].Then the screen
displays square wave signal and displays prompt message ―Cal...can't monitor!‖.
2. Compare the amplitude of the square wave with the wave scale. The difference should be within 5%.
3. After calibrating, press [Stop ECG Cal].
The NIBP Leakage Test 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 does not give any
prompt; if not, a corresponding error message is shown in the NIBP info area.
Gas Leakage Test Process:
1) Properly connect the cuff to the NIBP opening in the monitor.
2) Wrap the cuff around a cylinder of proper size.
3) Enter [Main Menu] →[Maintain]→[User Maintain]→ [Leakage Test].
4) At this moment, [Leakage Testing] is shown in the lower part of the NIBP parameter area on the screen,
indicating that the system started performing the air leakage test.
5) The system inflates the cuff automatically until the pressure reaches 180mmHg.
6) About 20s later, the system turns on the deflation valve automatically, indicating that leakage
measurement is finished.
26-9
Maintenance
If no prompt message is shown in the NIBP parameter area, it indicates the system has no leakage. If
[Pneumatic Leak...] is shown, it indicates the air 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 leakage test again. If there is still any fault prompt, contact the manufacturer for repair.

Warning
This leakage test is different from those described in EN 1060-1. This is simply for the user to
test whether there is air leakage during NIBP inflation. If the system shows NIBP air leakage at
the end of the test, contact Comen’s service technician.
Warning
Calibration of NIBP measurement should be performed once every two years (or according to
maintenance rules of your hospital). Check its performance according to the following details.
NIBP pressure verification should be carried out once a year or when you doubt the measured NIBP by the
serviceman approved by Comen.
Manufacturers recommend a calibrated pressure gauge (or mercury sphygmomanometers) with a precision
more than 1mmHg to be used for NIBP pressure verification. Specific steps are as follows:
1. Set measure mode to adult mode and select a metal container with a volume of 500ml ± 5% to replace
cuff.
2. Connect a calibrated standard gauge with measurement error of less than 1mmHg, a spherical air pumps
with a t-interface and inflatable tubes with NIBP socket on the monitor as the figure shown below:
26-10
Maintenance
It is recommended to conduct NIBP overpressure protection test once a year. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Open the housing of the Defibrillator Monitor, take out the multi-parameter module, remove the gas tube
connected with NIBP measuring transducer and block it up.
2. Connect NIBP cuff.
3. Start NIBP measurement. When the pressure rises to the overpressure protection point (300~
330mmHg), the valve will open and the sound of deflation will be heard, and the prompt message ―Over
Pressure‖ will be displayed on the screen.
If the system can give an alarm and deflate normally, the overpressure protection function is normal.
Otherwise, please contact the service technician of our company.
IBP calibration can only be performed by the manufacturer at least once a year or as required. When IBP
calibration is needed, please contact the manufacturer.
The users can not conduct the electric safety test including ground impedance test, leakage current test and so
on. Please contact the service technician for the electric safety test when necessary.

Warning
Use of the S8/S6 adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it
could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, the S8/S6 and the other equipment
should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by the
manufacturer of the S8/S6 could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased
electromagnetic immunity of the S8/S6 and result in improper operation.
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna
cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to
any part of the S8/S6, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise,
degradation of the performance of the S8/S6 could result.
