Chapter 4 Patient safety

4.1 Safety Instruction

The design of the fetal& maternal monitor complies with the international safety standard regarding medical
electrical equipment. The monitorhasthe functions of defibrillation protection with floating input and surgical
electrotome protection.

4.2 Enviroment Requirements

The following guidance should be followed to ensurethe safety of electrical installations.


Vibration, dust, corrosives or explosive gas, extreme temperature and humidity should be avoided at the
place where the monitor is used.
If the monitor is installed in a cabinet, enough space in front and behind should be left for convenient
operation, maintenance and repair. The monitor should be at least 2 inches or 5 centimeters away from
around the cabinet for good ventilation.
The monitoring system should be in the ambient temperature 5 40 (runing) to satisfise the
requirements, An ambient environment out of this range may impair the instruments accuracy and cause
damages to its components and circuits.

4.3 Grounding protection

To protect the patients and operator, the enclosure of the monitor must be grounded. The monitor is
equipped with a removable three-wire cable. When the cable plugs in a matching plug connector, the
grounding wire of the power line ground the monitor. In case a three-plug connector is not available, the
electrical operating staff should be consulted.

Warning
 Replacement of the three-plug connector with a two-plug connector is strictly prohibited.

The grounding wire should be connected with the equipotential grounding terminal of the instrument. The
instrument users who do not know whether a given combination of instruments may invite dangers, e.g. due
to accumulations of leaked currentsshould consult relevant manufactures or experts in this field so as to
guarantee that the required safety of the combined instruments are not compromised when the given
combination is in use.

4-1
Patient Safety

4.4 Equipotential Grounding

The primary protection of the instrument is embodied in the building protective grounding (protective
ground) system by means of power plugs grounding. The multi-parameter monitor should be separately
connected with the equipotential grounding system for examinations of hearts or skulls. One end of the
euquipotential grounding leads (potential equilizing leads)should be connected onto the equipotential
grounding terminals on the rear panel of the instrument and the other should be connected onto one
connector of the equipotential system. The equipotential grounding system should be in place for safety
functions of the protective grounding leads in case of any damage to the protective grounding system.
Cardiac or brain examinations should be conducted only in the rooms equipped with protective grounding
systems. A check of the instruments should be conducted to guarantee the instruments are in good repair
before each examination. The cables connecting with patients and instruments should be guaranteed not
having been subjected to electrolytic pollution.

Warning
 Battery power should be used to power the monitor against unstable protective grounding
system.

4.5 Condensation

The working instruments should be guaranteed not to form any condensation. Transferring of the instrument
from one room to another may cause condensation on the instrument. This is attributed to its exposure to
humid air at different temperatures.Unnecessary problems can be avoided by placing the instrument in a dry
place before putting it into use.
Note: Condensation is defined as coagulation of gases or liquids when cooled, e.g. water vapor when cooled
is transformed into water and water when cooled into ice. The lower the temperature is, the faster
condensation is formed.

Warning
 The monitor is prohibited to use in the presence of combustible anesthetics so as to avoid any
risk of explosions.
 Do not operate the monitor in the MRI scanning process, or you could be burnt by the induced
current.

Chapter 8 Alarm

8.1 Alarm Type

The monitor can give an alarm of two types, physiological alarm and technical alarm.
(1) Physiological alarm
Physiological alarm is usually caused by a certain physiological parameter of the patient which
violates the alarm limit or by the physiological abnormality of the patient. The physiological alarm
message will appear in the physiological alarm message area.
(2) Technical alarm
The technical alarm is also referred to as a system error message, indicating the alarm is caused by a
misoperation or system malfunction thereby causing improper operation of a system function or
distortion of monitored results. The alarm message of the technical alarm will appear in the technical
alarm message area.
Prompt message is to display the information relative to the system conditions themselves, which have
nothing to do with the patient’s vital sign.Prompt message will appear in the prompt message area.

8.2 Alarm Level

The monitor can give an alarm in three levels:high, medium and low, based on the severity.
Physiological alarm Technical alarm

All alarm levels for technical alarms and some physiological alarms have be set before the monitors are
delivered, and the users are not allowed to change them. But the level of some physiological alarms can be
modified.

8-1
Alarm

8.3 Alarm Mode

When giving an alarm, the monitor will prompt the users in both audio and visual modes:
 Visual alarm
 Audio Alarm
 Alarm Message
 Parameter’s flashing
In which visual signal, audio signal and alarm message are differentiated with those in different alarm levels.

8.3.1 Visual Alarm

The alarm lamp will flash at different frequencies and in different colors for different levels of alarms.
Physiological alarm:
 High level alarm: flash twice per second in red.

 Medium level alarm: flash once every two seconds in yellow.

 Low level alarm: yellow, continuous light.


Technical alarm:
 High level alarm: flash twice per second in red.

 Medium level alarm: flash once every two seconds in yellow.

 Low level alarm: cyan, continuous light.

When physiological alarm and technical are triggered simultaneously, the flashing frequency and color of
alarm lamp are based on the highest alarm level priority. But when only physiological alarm and technical
alarm of low level are triggered, the flashing frequency and color of alarm lamp are that of physiological
alarm.

8.3.2 Audio Alarm

The audio alarm is to prompt the alarm in different levels of severity with different sounds.
 High level alarm: Do-Do-Do--Do-Do----Do-Do-Do--Do-Do.
 Medium level alarm: Do-Do-Do.
 Low level alarm: Do.

Warning
 Both bedside machines and central monitoring systems have audio alarm function.
 Once the bedside monitor is connected to a central monitoring system,although both the
bedside monitor and central monitoring system can coordinate the alarm level as well as the
the alarm limit, the bedside monitor may not give an alarm simultaneously when the central
monitoring system is giving an alarm due to the alarm delay function of the bedside monitor.

8-2
Alarm

 When alarms of multiple alarm level are triggered simultaneously, the monitor will give the
alarm in audio and visual mode based on the highest alarm level priority.

8.3.3 Alarm Message

When there is a technical or physiological alarm, you will find a technical or physiological alarm message in
the technical alarm message area or physiological alarm message area respectively. Alarm messages for
different alarm levels are displayed in different background colors:
 High level alarm: red (Physiological alarm), blue(Technical alarm)
 Medium level alarm: yellow
 Low level alarm: yellow
Messages for different levels starting with different marks:
 High level alarm: ***
 Medium level alarm:**
 Low level alarm: *

8.3.4 Alarm Parameter Flashing

When a parameter triggers an alarm, the parameter will flash once every second.The upper alarm limit or
lower alarm limit will also flash in the same frequency indicating the parameter has violated the upper limit
or lower limit repectively.

8.4 Adjusting Alarm Volume

8.4.1 Adjusting the Minimum Alarm Volume

The minimum alarm volume is set to avoid the situation that the alarm can not be heard due to the alarm
volume being set too low. It decides the minimum alarm volume which can be set by users.
How to adjust the minimum alarm volume:

2. Select [ALM LEV];
3. Select the alarm level in the pop-up list box.

8-4
Alarm

8.5.2 Setting the Alarm Limit

The smart alarm system is the feature of our monitor. For smart alarm parameter, the users can set the upper
and lower limit of the high level alarm, medium level alarm and low level alarm together with no need to set
the alarm level. When the measured value of a certain parameter violates the alarm limits, the monitor will
auto give a corresponding alarm according to the alarm limits of which alarm level having been violated.
For normal alarm parameter, the users need to set the alarm level and only the alarm limits of the selected
alarm level can be set. When the measured value violates the alarm limits, the monitor will only give alarms
of the selected alarm level. Except for TEMP and RESP parameter, the alarm of FHR, TOCO, ECG, NIBP,
PR, CO2 and SpO2 parameter is smart alarm.
The methods to set the alarm limits for all smart alarm parameters are similar, and here we take FHR1 as an
example:
1 Select FHR1 parameter area and the [FHR1 SETUP] menu will be displayed;
2 Select [FHR1 ALARM SETUP] and enter FHR1 alarm limit setup menu, as shown below:

Here we can set the alarm limits of high level alarm, medium level alarm and low level alarm together.
 [Hi-Level] means high level alarm. When the measured value is higher than the upper limit of high
level alarm or lower than the lower limit of high level alarm, the monitor will give a high level alarm.
 [Mi-level] means medium level alarm. When the measured value isbetween the the upper limit of high
level alarm and medium level alarm, or between the lower limit of medium level alarm and high level
alarm, the monitor will give a medium level alarm.
 [Lo-level] means low level alarm. When the measured value is between the the upper limit of medium
level alarm and low level alarm, or between the lower limit of medium level alarm and low level alarm,
the monitor will give a low level alarm.

3 Select the upper limit and lower limit of a certain alarm level and click or to adjust the alarm

limits. The red area means high level alarm, yellow area means medium level alarm, cyan area means
low level alarm and white area means the normal range.

The methods to set the alarm limits for all normalalarm parameters are similar, and here we take RESP as an
8-5
Alarm

example:
1. Select RESP parameter area and the [RESP SETUP] menu will be displayed;
2. Select [ALM LEV] and select [HIGH] or [MED];
3. Select [RESP ALARM SETUP] and enter the RESP alarm limit setup menu, as shown below:

Here only the alarm limit of the selected alarm level can be set.

4. Select the upper limit and lower limit and click or to adjust the alarm limit.

Warning
 Setting alarm limit to extreme values will render the alarm system useless.
 It is very important to set the high limit for HR alarm to an appropriate value. Do not set it to
be 20bpm higher than the patient’s HR.

Attention
 The monitor will always save the alarm settings in case of power interruption and the alarm
settings are restored automatically after power interruption.

8.5.3 Alarm Recording

The monitor can record alarms automatically when the alarms are triggered if the parameter alarm function
and alarm recording function are activated. The methods of activating the alarm recording function for all
parameters are similar. Here we take ECG as an example:
1. Access [MAIN MENU] [MONITOR SETUP] [ALARM SETUP] [Review Alarms](Alarm
Recording) and select [ON];
2. Press ECG parameter area;
3. Press [ALM REC] and select [ON];
4. When the measured ECG value violates the alarm limit, the monitor will auto record the
ECG waveform with the recording time of 4 seconds before and after the alarm moment.

8-6
Alarm

8.5.4 Setting the Alarm Delay Time

The alarm system provides five kinds of alarm delay time: [DISABLED], [5SEC], [10SEC], [15SEC] and
[20SEC]. [DISABLED] indicates that the monitor will give alarms immediately once the measured
parameter value violated the alarm limit; [5SEC] indicates the monitor will give alarms only when the
measured parameter value exceeds the alarm limit for continual 5 seconds; and so forth. The alarm delay
function is not available on ECG parameter.
How to set the alarm delay time:

When the battery is used for the first time at least two complete cycles of optimization of the battery should
be carried out. A complete optimization cycle should be:uninterrupted charging battery until the power is full,
followed by use until the battery is fully discharged and monitor is automatically shut off.
This will ensure the battery is in optimization process:
(a) Disconnect the monitor from the patient and suspend all monitoring and measuring procedures.
(b) The optimized battery should be kept in the battery compartment of the unit.
(c) When charging the battery, at least six hours of charging should be ensured until it is fully charged.
(d) When you disconnect the AC power supply, the monitor is powered with the battery until the
battery runs out and the monitor automatically shuts off.
(e) This completes the battery optimization process.

(2) Check of Battery Performance


The service life of battery is changeable along with its storage, working environment charge cycles and
service time. Even though battery is out of service its performance will gradually deteriorate.
Procedure for checking the battery is as follows:

(a) Confirmwhether or not the battery is damage. When the battery shows the symbol “ ”, it

indicates the battery is damaged or no battery.


(b) Check whether the battery can be normally charged when the battery is connected to alternating
current;
(c) Disconnect the monitor from the patient and suspend all monitoring and measuring procedures.
(d) When charging the battery, at least six hours of charging should be ensured until it is fully charged.
(e) Disconnect the AC power supply, power on the monitor with the battery until it is fully discharged
and the monitor shuts off automatically Record the start and stop time.
(f) The duration of battery discharge will reflect the battery performance.
(g) Once the discharge duration is down to 50% of the original time, it requires changing the battery.

Attention
 In order to extend the service life of the battery, it is recommended to charge it every three
months after a long dormant period so as to prevent overdischarge.
 Battery power supply loss depends on the configuration and operation of the monitor; for
example, the unit will have a big loss of battery power if it is used to measure NIBP parameter
often.

9.6 Battery Recycling

If the battery shows apparent damage or is at an energy exhaustion condition, it should be replaced
immediately, and the used battery should be recycled and properly disposed of in accordance with relevant
laws or rules and regulations for hospitals.

Warning

 Do not remove the battery or make it short-circuiting or put it into fire; otherwise, it would
cause battery on fire, explosion, harmful gas leakage or other dangers.

Chapter 14 Fetus Monitoring

There are two basic types of fetus monitors: antepartum monitor for pre-delivery use and intrapartum
monitor for in-delivery use. The antepartum monitor does not have the internal monitoring ability and thus
can not monitor the fetal heart rate (FHR) directly through the fetus scalp electrode or monitor the internal
uterine pressure (IUP) of the mother through the internal pressure pipe. It monitors the FHR by connecting
the ultrasound transducer to the mother’s abdomen and monitors the uterine pressure by connecting the
TOCO Transducer to the bottom of the mother’s uterus.

14.1 Difference between Antepartum and Intrapartum Monitor

The antepartum monitor ensures the accuracy and reliability for FHR measuring by using the high-sensitivity
ultrasound transducer, high-performance signal processing circuit and advanced FHR calculation method.
The intrapartum monitor is acceptable to few pregnant women as it is not easy to operate, not cost effective
(use one-off electrode or pressure pipe) and likely to cause trauma to the patient.

14.1.1 Antepartum Monitoring Principles

Below is the ultrasound Doppler FHR monitoring principles:


The Doppler FHR monitoring is supported by the Doppler Effect. The ultrasound wave will be
reflected when meeting any obstacle in the propagation process. If the obstacle is still, the reflection
frequency will be identical with the transmitting frequency. If the obstacle moves, the reflection
frequency will change: become higher (or lower) when the obstacle faces the sound source with the front (or
back). The faster the obstacle moves, the greater change the reflection frequency will experience. That is
the Doppler Effect. In clinical application, the ultrasound transducer is used to transmit the ultrasound wave
into the human body. When the ultrasound wave meets any locomotive organ (like heart), the echo
signals will be changed and processed to collect the heart rate information which indicates the heart
activities.
It is the best time to do the Doppler FHR monitoring when the fetus faces the mother’s abdomen with the
back. If the fetus faces the mother’s abdomen with the front, his/her arms and legs will impact the echo
signals. When the fetus turns, his/her heart will deviate from the irradiation area of the transducer to
cause weaker echo signals and reduced Doppler Effect.

14-1
Fetus Monitoring

14.1.2 Terms about Fetus Monitoring

Continuous wave working mode: the receiver and transmitter of the ultrasound transducer work
simultaneously and continuously; faster or lower sometimes; simple circuit; can not recognize the distance of
the target; likely to include other noise; large transmitting power; small effective receiving area (transducer).

UltrasoundTransmitting Ultrasound Receiving


UltrasoundTransmitting
Mother’s Abdomen

Depth

Figure14-1Continuous Wave Transmitting/Receiving

Pulse wave working mode: small transmitting power; large effective receiving area (transducer); can receive
the ultrasound signals of a selected depth; can eliminate other interference and noise; complex circuit.
The transmitting frequency used for fetus monitoring is usually 1MHz~3MHz. A higher (or lower)
transmitting frequency will lead to a weaker (or stronger) penetrability and a higher (or lower) resolution for
tissue structure. Therefore, the transmitting frequency of the ultrasound transducer used for superficial
vascular disease diagnosis can reach 810MHz. According to national safety standards, the transmitting
power of the ultrasound transducer should not exceed 10MW/cm2; otherwise the fetus tissue could be
affected adversely.

14.2 FHR Monitoring

14.2.1 Connect the FHR Transducer

(1) Let the patient lie on her back with the belt placed under her back, and then use the FHR transducer to
find the position of the fetal heart.
(2) Apply conductive gel to the contact surface of the transducer to ensure the largest FHR monitoring area.
Before applying the transducer to the pregnant woman, please apply conductive gel to the middle 2/3
part of the contact surface. The conductive gel will be pressed to cover the whole contact surface after
the transducer is fixed to the pregnant woman’s abdomen.

14-2
Fetus Monitoring

Figure14-2 FHR Transducer

(3) Connect the ultrasound transducer to the abdomen of the pregnant woman and then adjust its position
until you find the loudest fetal heart signal.
(4) Fix the ultrasound transducer with the belt.

Note

 Make sure the belt is tied to the proper position with proper tightness.

(5) Make sure you can hear the fetal heart beats in the monitoring process. Do not adjust FHR volume to
zero. The FHR curve is not reliable without strong fetal heart signals.
(6) If there is any strong fetal movement or uterine contraction or the pregnant woman moves her body, the
fetal heart position may change a lot. Please check whether you can hear clear fetal heart beats from
time to time. If not, please adjust the position of the ultrasound transducer to find the loudest fetal heart
signals again.

14.2.2 Cross-Channel Verification

The fetus is not necessarily alive even if the fetal heart rate is detected, because the ultrasound transducer
may collect signals from other sources, like the mother’s heart, aorta, or large vessel pulsation.
During fetus monitoring, if the monitored heart rates (from a fetal or mother) coincide at any time, the same
heart rate is probably being monitored by more than one transducer. The corss-channel verification feature is
helpful to detect whether the same heart rate is being monitored by more than one transducer.
How to activate the cross-channel verification feature:
1. Select FHR waveform and the [FHR SETUP] menu will be displayed;
2. Select [CROSS DUR] and adjust the duration for cross-channel verification. Available duration includes
[OFF], [30 S], [60 S], [90 S] and [120 S]. [OFF] means the monitor will not give alarms even though
the monitored heart rates coincide; [30S] means when the monitored FHR1 and FHR 2 (or the
monitored fetal heart rate and maternal heart rate) coincide for more than 30 seconds, the monitor will
give a high level technical alarm.
3. Select [CROSS ERROR] and select the allowable error for cross-channel verification. Available options
include [0bpm], [1bpm], [2bpm], [3bpm], [4bpm] and [5bpm]. [0bpm] means once the monitored FHR1
and FHR 2, or the monitored fetal heart rate and maternal heart rate coincide for more than the time set
in [CROSS CUR], the monitor will give a high level technical alarm; [1bpm] means when the
difference between the monitored FHR1 and FHR 2 (or the monitored fetal heart rate and maternal

14-3
Fetus Monitoring

heart rate) is less than or equal to 1bpm and lasts for more than the time set in [CROSS CUR], the
monitor will a high level technical alarm.
The technical alarm message is [ADJT ULTRAS POSITION](Adjust the positions of ultrasound transducers )
and the FHR1 and FHR2 parameter area will display “_ _” at the same time.

14.2.3 Trace Separation

The trace separation function is to help you interpret traces with similar baselines.
 Enable Trace Separation
Select FHR waveform, in the pop-up [FHR SETUP] menu, select [FHR OFFSET] and select [+20bpm]
or [-20bpm]. [+20bpm] or [-20bpm] means the FHR2 trace is displayed and recorded 20bpm higher or
lower than it really is respectively. The FHR2 trace recorded on the recording paper is thinner with light
color.
Take +20bpm offset as an example, see the figure below:

Figure 14-3 Trace separationenabled

The FHR2 trace on the recording paper has an offset, but the FHR2 value on the screen remains
unchanged. Subtract 20 from the recorded trace for FHR2 to obtain the true FHR2. For example, if the
recorded FHR2 trace is 180bpm, the true FHR2 is 160bpm.
 Disable Trace Separation
Select FHR waveform, in the pop-up [FHR SETUP] menu, select [FHR OFFSET] and select [+0bpm].
The FHR2 trace recorded on the recording paper is thinner with light color, and the FHR2 trace is the
true one, see the figure below:

14.2.4 FHR Settings

14.2.4.1 Setting the Source of Maternal Heart Rate

Besides the FHR waveform, there is one maternal heart rate waveform displayed in the FHR waveform
area, which helps the users to record the FHR waveform and maternal heart rate waveform together.
How to set the source of maternal heart rate:
1. Select FHR waveform area and the [FHR SETUP] menu will be displayed;
2. Select [MHR] and select the source of maternal heart rate from [OFF], [HR], [PR] and [AUTOMATIC].
 [OFF] means the function of displaying maternal heart rate waveform in the FHR waveform area will
be deactivated;
 [HR] means the source of maternal heart rate is the measured maternal heart rate;
 [PR] means the source of maternal heart rate is the measured maternal pulse rate;
 [AUTOMATIC] means the monitor will auto select the measured maternal heart rate or pulse rate as the
source of maternal heart rate.
The users can also set the display color for maternal heart rate waveform by entering [FHR SETUP] menu
and selecting [MHR DISP COLOR].

14.2.4.2 Setting the FHR Sound Channel

FHR sound channel means which channel the FHR sound comes from. The available options include [FHR 1]
and [FHR2]. When there is only one FHR transducer connected, the FHR sound channel will be locked as
[FHR1] and when there are two FHR transducers connected, the users can select the FHR sound channel as
needs.
How to set the FHR sound channel:
1. Select FHR1 parameter area, select [Sound channel] and select [FHR1] or [FHR2];
2. Select FHR2 parameter area, select [Sound channel] and select [FHR1] or [FHR2];

Fetus Monitoring

14.3 TOCO Monitoring

The TOCO indicates the delivery strength. The uterine contraction has been clinically proven to impact the
fetal heart activities and delivery. The recorded TOCO trace provides such information as the strength,
frequency, duration, regularity and shape of uterine contraction. The uterine contraction can increase or
reduce the FHR. The monitor can monitor the TOCO of the mother in the fetus monitoring process, so the
doctor can diagnose the FHR changes as per the uterine contraction.
The external pressure monitoring is to monitor the TOCO through the mother’s abdomen. In case of any
uterine contraction, the tension of the abdominal wall will compress the TOCO transducer, which will
convert such compression into electrical TOCO signals. The electrical TOCO signals will be magnified by
the monitor for you to view or print.

Chapter 15 ECG Monitoring

15.1 Overview

The ECG measures the electrical activity of the patients’ heart and displays it on the monitor in the form
of waveform and valueso as to accurately assess the physiological status of the patient. To get accurate
measured value, the ECG lead wired should be placed correctly.
This monitor is applicable to 3-lead, 5-lead and 12-lead ECG monitoring. Different waveformscan be
displayed according to different lead wires.

15.3 Safety Information

Warning
 The operators shall not touch the patients, tables and instruments during defibrillation.
 Only use the ECG lead wire specified by Comen.
 Pacemaker failure: during the heart’s complete conduction blockage or when pacemaker
can't wrestle/took away,the high P waves (larger than the 1/5 of the average height of R wave)
may be wrongly counted by the monitorleading to asystoles being undetected
 During the defibrillation, the ECG cable connected with patient may be damaged. Before
reusing these cables, check whether its function is normal.
 After defibrillation, the ECG waveform will recover within 5 seconds without losing any stored
data. For electrosurgery (ESU) or defibrillation, measurement accuracy may temporarily drop,
but it does not affect the safety of patients or equipment
 Never expose the equipment under x-ray or strong magnetic field (MRI)
 When connecting the electrodes or patient cable, make sure that the conductive parts of
electrodes and associated connectors for applied parts, including the neutral electrode, should
not contact any other conductive parts including earth and make sure that all the electrodes are
placed on the patient to prevent them from contacting the conductive parts or earth.
 Inspect the electrode application site for skin irritation daily. If there is sign of allergy, replace
the electrodes or change the application site.
 Before ECG monitoring, check that the function of ECG cable is normal. After disconnecting
the ECG cable, the monitor will trigger an audio alarm anddisplayalarm message "ECG LEAD
OFF".

Attention
 Interference from ungrounded equipment near the patient and ESU interference may
cause waveform problems.If you operate under the conditions regulated by EN60601-1-2 (with
the anti-radiation capacity of 3V/m), the electric field strength more than 1V/m may cause
measurement errors at various frequencies.Therefore, it is recommended not to use electrical
radiation equipment near the ECG / respiration monitoring devices.
 If ECG electrodesareplaced correctly,but the ECG waveform is not accurate, please replace the
lead wires.
 In order to protect the environment, the electrodes used should be recycled or be disposed of
properly.

15.4 Steps of Monitoring

15.4.1 Preparation

Ask the patient to remove outer clothing on upper body:


(a) As skin is poor conductor of electricity, to get a good contact of the electrode and the skin, it is
important to make preparation of the patient s' skin.
(b) If necessary, shave the area for the electrode.
(c) Thoroughly clean the skin with soap and water.(Do not use ether or pure alcohol, because they will
increase the resistance of the skin).
(d) Dry and rub the skin in order to increase the capillary blood flow and remove skin debris and oil.
(e) Attach the alligator clip prior to placement of the electrode.
(f) Place electrodes on the patient. If the electrodes used do not have conductive gel, apply the
conductive gel before placement.
(g) Connect the electrode lead and the patient cable.

15.4.2.5 ECG Lead Connection Recommended for Surgical Patients

Warning
 When using electricity surgical unit (ESU), put the ECG electrode at the middle position
between ESU earth plate and electrosurgical knife to avoid burn. The cable of electricity
surgical unit and the ECG cable can't be entangled.
 In the use of electricity surgical unit (ESU), never allow the electrodes to be close to the earth
plate of electricity surgical unit, or ECG signal would be interfered seriously.
The position of ECG lead depends on the type of surgery. For example, for the thoracotomy, electrode can
be put on the chest or the back. In the operating room, because of usingelectrosurgical knife equipment,
sometimes artifact may affect ECG waveform, in order to cut the artifact, you can put the electrode on left
and right shoulder, near the abdomen of left or right side, and the breast lead can be put on the left side of
chest quiet near the center. To avoid the electrode beingput on the upper arm, or ECG wave will become
very small.

 When the input signal is too large, the peak may be truncated. The user can refer to the
actual waveform to manually change the gain of the ECG waveform in order to avoid the
incomplete waveform display.

15.6.4 Setting the Filter Mode

There are four filter modes: diagnostic mode, monitor mode, surgical mode and ST mode. The diagnostic
mode shows unfiltered ECG wave; the monitor modecan filter out the artifacts which may lead to false
alarms. The surgical mode in the operating room can reduce the artifact and interference from electrical
surgical unit. Filter mode is displayedabove the first ECG waveform.
ST filter mode is user-friendly to conduct more accurate ST segment measurements. Frequency response
range of this mode is 0.05Hz-40Hz.The good scalability of low frequency ensures undistorted interpretation
of patient’s ST segment, and can effectively filter high-frequency interference signals over 40Hzincluding
power frequency interference. In this mode the user can more accurately acquire the measured ST segment
value by adjusting the position of the ST segment analysis points.
(a) Click ECG waveform and [ECG WAVE] menu will be displayed;
(b) Set [FILTER] to [DIA] (diagnostic), [MON] (monitor), [SUR] (surgical) or [ST];

Warning

 Only under diagnostic mode will the actual ECG signal be provided. Under monitor mode and
surgical mode,ECG waveforms have varying degrees of distortion, and at this time, the system
can only provide the basic status of ECG signal, which may have a great impact on the result
of the ST segment analysis. Under surgical mode, the arrhythmia analysis result is also
affected to some degree. So we recommended that when the interference is small, try to use
the diagnostic mode to monitor the patient.

15.7 ST Segment Analysis

15.7.1 About ST Segment Analysis

The normal heart beat and atrioventricular pacing are used for ST segment analysis. The monitor analyzes
these heart beats and calculates the elevation and depression of the ST segment. The monitor can display the
information in ST numerical form. It can continuously monitor all available leads. For ST-segment analysis,
the ECG waveform is not required to be displayed on the monitor. For ST analysis,it usually uses a special
filter which ensures diagnostic quality. If you use the diagnostic filter mode to monitoring ECG, the ST
segment of the ECG wave will be slightly different from the ST segment in the ST fragment with the
same waveform. In order to diagnostically assess the ST-segment, please always switch to ST filter mode.
You can also select the monitor or surgical filter mode, but ST-segment data will have a serious distortion.
ST segment analysis can measure the elevation or depression of the specified ST-segment of a lead.
Meaning of ST-segment measurement: A positive number indicates the elevation, a negative number
indicates depression
Measurement range of the ST segment: -2.0 ~ +2.0 mV.

15.7.2 Impact on ST Segment

Some clinical conditions makeit difficult to get reliable ST monitoring, such as:

15.8 Arrhythmia Analysis

Arrhythmia analysis is used for the clinical monitoring of patients’ ECG to detect changes in heart rate and
ventricular premature beat, to save the arrhythmic events and to generate alarm information. Arrhythmia
analysis can be used to monitor pacemaker and non-pacemaker patients.Doctors may, based on the
arrhythmia analysis, evaluate the patient's condition (such as heart rate, the PVCs (premature ventricular
contraction) frequency, rhythm, and abnormal heartbeat) and give the appropriate diagnosis and treatment. In
addition to the detection of ECG changes, the arrhythmia analysis can also be used to monitor patients and
give appropriate alarms.

15-12
ECG Monitoring

The arrhythmia monitoring is disabled by default. Users can turn on this function according to your need.
The function of arrhythmia monitoring can, by testing and classification of arrhythmias and heart
abnormalities, remind doctors to pay attention to the rhythm of the patient, and then give alarm.

RESP Monitoring

Attention
 Put the green and the red electrodes at opposite angle so as to get the best respiration wave.
You should avoid putting the electrodes over the liver area and the ventricle of the heart in the
line between the respiratory electrodes, which can help to avoid cardiac overlay or artifacts
from the pulsing blood flow. This is particularly important for neonates.
Lateral thoracic expansion

Some patients’ thorax may expand laterally, especially for the neonates. At the right time, two RESP
electrodes shall be placed on the right mid-axillary line and the left lateral thorax where the patient has the
maximum breathing movement to make sure that the breathing waveform is distinct. See the following
figure:

Abdominal respiration

For some patients the chest movement is limited so they primarily conduct a abdominal respiration And right
now, you shall remove the electrode which was placed on the left leg to the left abdomen where there is
maximum expansion to make sure the breathing waveform is clear. See the following figure:

Attention
 RESP monitoring cannot be applied to the patient who moves frequently, because it may lead
to wrong alarms.

Chapter 17 SpO2 Monitoring

17.1 Overview

SpO2 parameters measure blood-oxygen saturation, that is, the percentage of the total oxyhemoglobin. When
97% of the total number of hemoglobin molecules combines with oxygen in the arterial blood’s red blood
cells, this blood will have 97% SpO2, and at the same time the monitor reads 97% SpO2 value. This value
shows the percentage of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin molecules, constituting oxyhemoglobin. Furthermore
parameters of the SpO2 can also provide pulse rate signal and plethysmography wave (PLETH).

17.1.1 Principle of Measuring SpO2

Pulse oximetry is a measurement of oxygen saturation. It is a continuous, non-invasive way of determining


the hemoglobin oxygenation saturation. It is involved in measuring how much light emitting from the sensor
side passes through the patient’s tissue (such as a finger or ear) and then reaches the other side of the
receiver.
Though the amount of light passing through depends on many factors, most of them are constant. However,
one of the factors is that blood flow in the arteries changes with time, since it is pulsatile. It is possible to
obtain arterial blood oxygen saturation by measuring the amount of light absorbed during the pulse. And
surveying pulse itself can supply a “PLETH” waveform and pulse rate signal.
The main screen can display “SpO2” value and “PLETH” waveform.

Warning
 If there is carbonyl hemoglobin, methemoglobin, or dye dilution chemical present, the SpO2
value will deviate.

17.1.2 Recognition of the type of SpO2 Sensor

The types of SpO2 sensor have been configured when the equipment is delivered from the factory, which is
recognizable by the socket connected to the SpO2 sensor:
 Digital SPO2: SpO2 logo marked on the multi-measurement module.
 Nellcor SPO2: SpO2 logo and NELLCOR logo marked on the multi-measurement module.
 Masimo SPO2: SpO2 logo and MasimoSET logo marked on the multi-measurement module.
The wavelength range and maximum light output power of different transducers are very important
information to clinical doctors, such as, when proceeding photodynamic therapy
 Measurable wavelength of Comen SpO2 module sensor: red light 660nm, infraredlight 905nm.
 Measurable wavelength of Masimo SpO2 module sensor: red light 660nm, infraredlight 940nm.

17-1
SpO2 Monitoring

 Measurable wavelength of Nellor SpO2 module sensor: red light 660nm, infraredlight 890nm.
The sensor’s maximum output light power is less than 18mW.

Warning
 This monitor can automatically identify the SpO2 sensor. However, as the internal hardware
has been fixed before delivery from factory, the use of improper SpO2 sensor will lead
to wrong measured values.

17.3 Safety Information

Warning
 Check whether the sensor cable is in good condition prior to monitoring. When you
discennect the SpO2 sensor cable from the monitor, the monitor will trigger a technical alarm
and display alarm message “SpO2 NO SENSOR” on the screen.
 If the sensor or its packaging has signs of damage, do not use it and return to the factory.
 Continuous and prolonged monitoring may increase the risk of undesirable changes in skin
characteristics, such as irratation, reddenning, blistering, or even pressure necrosis etc,
especially for the neonates or patients with perfusion disorders and varying or immature
forms of skin. Check thesesor application site every two hours and move the sensor if the
skin quality changes.More frequent checkis required due to different status of individual
patents.
 High oxygen levels will have premature children been in danger of infecting the crystal-like
fibrous tissue disease. Therefore, the SpO2 alarm limit must be set carefully based on
generally accepted clinical practice.
 Do not entangle the cable of the sensor and electrical surgical unit.
 Do not placethe sensor on limbs with an arterial catheter or intravenous tube.
 Do not place the sensor and the cuff on the same limb while measuring, because the NIBP
measurement may occlude the blood flow and affect the readings of SpO2.
 A functional tester or SpO2 simulator cannot be used to access the accuracy of a pulse
oximeter probe or a pulse oximeter monitor.

17-2
SpO2 Monitoring

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

Attention
 Make sure that the nail covers the light inside the sensor. The sensor cable should be placed
on the back of hands.
 SpO2 waveform and pulse volume are out of proportion.
 There is a signal indicator in SpO2 parameter area to indicating the pulse signal strength.
 The SpO2 waveform is normalized.

17.4 MonitoringSteps

Warning
 Select the appropriate placement according to the instrument and its supporting
probe, which is fundamentally vital to neonates.
1. Turn on the monitor;
2. Insert the connector of the sensor cable into the SpO2socket.
3. Attach the sensor to the appropriate position on the patient.
Placement of finger adult/pediatric SpO2 sensor:

Attention
 When the accurate positioning between the test site and the sensor fails, it may result
in wrong SpO2readings, and even stop monitoring because of the failure of searching pulse.
In this case you should re-position these two.
 Excessive movement of measured sites may affect the accuracy of the measurement,
therefore, you should calm the patient or replace sites in order to reduce the impact of
excessive movement.

Warning
 The maximum measuring time of SpO2 sensor on a single measuring site is 2 hours.
 In a long and continuous monitoring process, it is advisable to check periodically the
positioning of the sensor to avoid inaccurate measurement due to changing in the positioning
because of motion or other factors.

17.5 Measurement Limitations

During operation, the following factors can affect the accuracy of SpO2 measurement :
 High-frequency radio interference, for instance, interference self-generated from the host system or
from electrical scientific instruments connected to the system.
 During magnetic resonance imaging scanning (MRI), do not use the photoelectric oximeter and
oxygen sensor, since induced currents may cause burning.
 Intravenous dye.
 Patient’s excessive movement.

17-4
SpO2 Monitoring

 External radiation.
 Improper installation of sensor or improper contact position with the object .
 Sensor’s temperature (optimal temperature should be among 28 - 42 ).
 The sensor is placed on the limbs with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or the pipeline of
body cavity.
 The concentrations of non-functional hemoglobin such as carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and
methemoglobin (MetHb) etc.
 Extremely low degree of blood-oxygen saturation.
 The measured area has poor circulation.
 Syndromes such as shock, a Extreme low degree of blood-oxygen saturation, .anemia or low
temperature etc and application of vasoconstrictor drugs can reduce blood flow to the level of not
being able to be measured.
 Measurement also depends on both the oxyhemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin’s absorption of
specific wavelengths of light. If any other factors absorb the same wavelength, they will generate
false measurement, lower SpO2 values. These factors are as follows: carbonization of hemoglobin,
methemoglobin, methylene blue , indigo rouge.
 It is recommended to use only the SpO2sensor described in the accessories.

17.6 SpO2Settings

oximeter probe or a pulse oximeter monitor.

17-7
SpO2 Monitoring

Attention
 Confirmation about SpO2 measurement accuracy: accuracy of SpO2 has been confirmed in
the comparison between experiment on human being and referential value of arterial blood
measured by CO-oxygen pressure gauge. Measurement results of Pulse Oxygen Meter are
subject to statistical distributions, which are, compared to measurement results by
CO-oxygen pressure gauge, expected to fall in designated accuracy range with 2/3 results.
 Masimo SpO2 has passed the nomotion accuracy verification by compared to the laboratory
joint photoelectric oximeterand monitor in the human blood research where healthy adult
volunteers’ SpO2 value are at 70% to 100% under the inducible hypoxic condition. This
difference equals to one standard deviation, which contains 68% of the sample.
 Masimo SpO2 has passed the motion accuracy verification in the human blood
research where healthy adult volunteers conduct friction motion or tapping motion at 2 to 4
Hz to induce a hypoxic condition. There is no repeated movement at range from 1 to 2 cm and
frequency from 1 to 5 Hz. When set at inducible hypoxic condition (SpO2 70% ~100%) with
range from 2 to 3 cm, the results should compare those of laboratory joint photoelectric
oximeterand monitor. This difference equals to ± one standard deviation, which contains 68%
of the sample.

17.8 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 compare its low perfusion readings with the readings of a simulator.

Chapter 18 NIBP Monitoring

18.1 Overview

The non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurement uses oscillation method and is available for adults,
pediatric, neonates, pregnant and pre-eclamptic patient.
In order to understand how the oscillation method works, you can compare it to the auscultatorymethod.
 Auscultatorymethod: doctors listen to the blood pressure through stethoscope and know the systolic
pressure and diastolic pressure. As long as the arterial pressure curve is normal, then mean blood
pressure can be calculated through systolic pressure and diastolic pressure.
 Oscillation method: the monitor cannot hear the blood pressure but only measure the vibration scope
of pressure in cuff. The changes of blood pressure cause the vibration of the cuff and cuff pressure at
the maximum scope is the mean blood pressure. The systolic pressure and diastolic pressure can be
calculated after measuring the mean blood pressure.
Generally speaking, auscultatorymethod measures the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure to calculate the
mean blood pressure. Oscillation method measures mean arterial pressure to calculate systolic pressure and
diastolic pressure.
When perfoming NIBP measurement on a pediatric and neonate, you must ensure that the correct measure
mode is selected. Wrong measure mode could jeopardize patient safety, because high blood pressure of
adults is not suitable forpediatric and neonates.
According to the IEC601-2-30/EN60601-2-30 standard, NIBP measurement can be conducted during
electrosurgical operation and during the discharging period of defibrillator.

18.3 Safety Information

Warning
 Before starting the measurements, make sure the selected measure mode applies to your
patients. Using other than the neonatal mode on a neonatal patient may put the patient in
danger.
 Do not install the cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion tube or a catheter. During cuff
inflation, if infusion is lowed down or clogged, the area around the tube may be damaged.
 Ensure theconnection tubing that attached blood pressure cuff and monitor is with no kinking.
 Too frequent measurements can cause injury to the patient due to bloodflow interference.
 Do not place the cuff over a wound, as this can cause further injury.
 Do not place the cuff on any limb whereintravascular access or therapy, or an arterio-venous
(A-V) shunt is present, as thiscould cause temporary interference to blood flow and result in
injury to the patient.
 Do not place the cuff on the arm on the side of a mastectomy.
 Pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss offunction of simultaneously used
monitoring equipment on the same limb.
 NIBP measurement cannot be performed onthose patients suffering from sickle-cell disease or
skin damage or any anticipated damage.
 For a patient suffering from serious disturbance of blood coagulation, the decision to operate
automatic blood pressure measurement must be made according to the clinical evaluation,
because the friction area between body and sleeves has the risk of hematoma.

18.4 NIBP Measurement

18.4.1 Measurement Steps

1. Conenct the NIBP cuff to the monitor and turn on the monitor.
2. Verify that the cuff is completely deflated.
3. Use a cuff with suitable size on the patient. Be sure that the cuff is not too tightly wrapped around the
limb, otherwise it may cause discoloration or even ischemia to the far end of the limb.

18-2
NIBP Monitoring

Figure 18-2 Cuff usage

Attention
 The width of the cuff should be 40 (or 50% for neonates) of the circumference of the limb,
or 2/3 of the length of the upper arm. The length of the inflated part of the cuff should be long
enough to wrap 50 80% of the limb; a cuff of wrong size will produce a wrong reading. If you
have a problem about the size of the cuff, use a larger cuff in order to reduce errors.

4. Check if the edges of the cuff are located inside the range marked by < - >. If not, replace the cuff with
a more suitable one.
5. Check that the monitor mode is correct (displayed in the NIBP parameter area). To change the measure
mode, please enter the menu [NIBP SETUP] to change [MEASURE MODE].
6. Press the key on the front panel or click [NIBP START] on-screen key to inflate the NIBP cuff.

Body parts used for pressure-measuring should be in the same horizontal location with patient's heart. If
unable to do so, it is necessary to use the following correction method to modify the measurement results:
 If cuff is above the heart level location, 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) should be added to the displayed value
for per centimeter gap.
 If cuff is below the heart level location, the displayed value should minus 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) for
per centimeter gap.
In order to obtain accurate blood pressure measurement for the hypertension patient, the patient position
should be as follows:
a) Comfortably seated
b) Legs uncrossed
c) Feet flat on the floor
d) Back and arm supported
e) Middle of the cuff at the level of the right atrium of the heart

18-4
NIBP Monitoring

Warning
 If the NIBP measurement under the auto or continuous measure mode lasts too long, the
limb with the cuff may suffer from purpura, ischemia or nerve damage. During patient
monitoring, you should check the color, warmness and sensitivity of the far end of the limb
from time to time. Once you observe any anomaly, place the cuff on another place or stop
measurement immediately.

Attention
 The patient should relax as much as possible and not talk during the measurement procedure.
 5 minutes should elapse before the first reading is taken.
 If unexpected readings are obtained, first the operator should use the same method to take
measurement and then check the monitor function.

18.4.3 Measurement Limitations

According to the patient's condition, oscillatory measurement has some restrictions. Such measurements are
looking for regular impulse waves produced by arterial pressure. In case the patients’ condition makes this
kind of detection difficult, measurement values will become unreliable and load time will increase. Users
should be aware that the following conditions will interfere with the measurement method, so that pressure is
not reliable or load time increases. In this case, the patient's condition will make measurement impossible.
(1) Patient Mobility
If patient is moving, shaking or in spasms, measurement will be unreliable or even impossible, as these
may interfere with the detection of the arterial pressure pulse and load time will be extended.
(2) Arrhythmia
If patient has shown arrhythmia caused by irregular heart beats, measurements are unreliable or even
impossible and load time will be extended.
(3) Heart-Lung Machine
If patient is connected to an artificial heart-lung machine, measure cannot be conducted.
(4) Pressure Change
If within a certain time, arterial pulse pressure is being analyzed to get the measurements, when blood
pressure in patients is rapidly changing, measurement will be unreliable or even impossible.
(5) Severe Shock
If a patient is in serious shock or hypothermia, the pressure will be unreliable. The reducing blood
flowing to periphery would cause a decline in arterial pulse.
(6) Limit Heart Rate
Blood pressure measurement cannot be performed when heart rate is lower than 40bpm (beats per
minute) or higher than 240bpm (beats per minute).
(7) Obese Patients
A thick layer of fat around a limb damps oscillations from the artery, thus preventing them from

18-5

Chapter 20 CO2 Monitoring

20.1 Overview

This chapter just introduces the CO2 measurement mode by sidestream and mainstream CO2 modules, which
is different from the operating mode of CO2 measured in anesthetic gas. Please note their differences.
CO2 measurement modes are divided into sidestream and mainstream.
 For sidestream measurement mode, the respiratory gases inside patient airways are sampled with a
constant sampling flow and analyzed by remote CO2 sensor built in the measurement system.
 For mainstream measurement mode, CO2 sensors are mounted on an airway joint that is directly
inserted into the respiratory system of a patient.
CO2 measurement provides:
 CO2 waveform.
 End-tidal CO2 (EtCO2):CO2 value measured at the end-tidal of respiration.
 Minimum inspiratory CO2 (Ins CO2):The minimum value measured during respiration.
 Airway Respiration Rate (AWRR):respiration rate per minute derived from CO2 waveform.

Warning
 The bumping and shaking of the CO2 module should be avoided whenever possible.

Attention
 Do not use this monitor in the presence of combustible anesthetic gas.
 This monitor can be operated only by professionals who are well trained and familiar with this
user manual.

20.3 Measuring Principle and Working Process

The CO2 measuring principle is mainly based on the characteristic that CO2 can absorb the infrared
rays with a wavelength of 4. 3um. The measuring method works as follows: CO2 is introduced to a
measuring chamber of which one side is irradiated by infrared rays, and sensors are employed to measure the
attenuation degrees of received infrared rays at the other side of the measuring chamber, and the attenuation
degree is directly proportional to the CO2 concentrations.
The conversion between CO2 partial pressure and CO2 concentration is:
CO2 Partial Pressure (mmHg)= CO2 Concentration (%) Pamp (Ambient Pressure)
For example:5% CO2 = 38mmHg at 760mmHg
5% CO2 = 35mmHg at 700mmHg
CO2 Module:adopting Autorun instruction measurement mode, and the waveform is sampled once every 31
milliseconds.

 During MRI scanning, the host equipment must be placed outside the MRI suite.
 Use of high frequency electrosurgical equipment in the vicinity of the ISA/host equipment may
produce interference and cause incorrect measurements.
 Do not use external ambient cooling of the ISA equipment.
 Do not apply negative pressure to the Nomoline (i.e. by a syringe) to remove condensed water.
 Too strong positive or negative pressure in the patient circuit might affect the sample flow.
 Strong scavenging suction pressure might affect the sample flow.
 Exhaust gases should be returned to the patient circuitor a scavenging system.
 Always use a bacteria filter on the evac side if sampled gas is intended to be re-breathed.
 Do not place the ISA gas analyzer in any position that might cause it to fall on the patient.

20.10.2IRMA Mainstream Gas Analyzer Safety Information

Warning
 Do not use IRMA adult/pediatric airway adapter with infants as the adapter adds 6ml space to
the patient circuit.
 Replace the adapter if rainout/condensation occurs inside the airway adapter.
 Use only IRMA airway adapters made by PHASEIN.
 Do not use the IRMA infant airway adapter withadults as this may cause excessive flow
resistance.
 The host equipment shall have adequate protection against contact with live parts.
 Only adapter cables approved by PHASEIN AB can be used.
 There must be a warning implemented in the host equipment to indicate when demo data is
being displayed.
 The host equipment should be equipped with appropriate alarm systems to remind the user of
situations which could lead to death or serious deterioration of the patient’s state of health.
 Alarm message corresponding to each bit in the IRMA statussummary field must be
implemented in the host equipment.
 The IRMA probe is not intended to be in patient contact.
 Incorrect probe zeroing will result in false gas readings.
 The IRMA probe is intended for use by authorized or trained medical personnel only.
 The IRMA probe must not be used with inflammable anesthetic agents.
 Disposable IRMA airway adapters shall not be reused. Reuse of the disposable adapter can
cause cross infection.
 Used airway adapters should be disposed of according to local regualtions for medical waste.

disposable product and contains a caustic electrolyte and lead.


 The IRMA probe is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in
conjunction with other assessments of clinical signs and symptoms.
 Do not place the IRMA airway adapter between the endotracheal tube and an elbow as this
may alllow patient secretions to block the adapter windows and result in incorrect operation.
 Tokeep secretions and moisture from poolingon the windowsor oxygen sensor port, always
place the IRMA probe in a vertical position with the LED pointing upwards.
 Do not use the IRMA airway adapter with metered-dose inhalers or nebulized medications as
this may affect the light transmission of the airway adapter windows.
 Incorrect agent selection by the user for IRMA OR (no automatic anesthetic agent
identification) will result in false anesthetic agent readings.
 Using IRMA OR (no automatic anesthetic agent identification) with gas mixtures containing
more than one agent will result in false anesthetic agent readings.
 Measurements can be affected by mobile and RF communications equipment. Make sure that
the ISA gas analyzer is used in the electromagnetic environment specified in this user manual.
 Never sterilize or immerse the IRMA probe in liquid.
 The IRMA oxygen cell and the IRMA airway adapter are non-sterile devices. Do not autoclave
the devices as this will damage them.
 Do not leave depleted oxygen sensors mounted in the IRMA probe, even if the probe is not in
use.
 Do not apply tension to the sensor cable.
 Do not operate the device outside the temperature environment specified in this user manual.
 (U.S.): Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

20.10.3Zeroing

An infrared gas analyzer needs to establish a zero reference level for CO2, N2O and anesthetic gas
measurement.
 Automatic Zeroing
The ISA sidestream gas analyzer 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 analyzers and less than 10 seconds for ISA multigas analyzers. If the ISA
sidestream gas analyzer is equipped with an oxygen sensor, automatic zeroing also includes the room air
calibration of the oxygen sensor.
 Manual Zeroing
Select CO2 parameter area, in the pop-up [CO2 SETUP] menu, select [ZERO CALIBRATING]. During
zeroing, make sure that the patient circuit is exposed to the ambient air (21% oxygen and 0% CO2) for
approximately 30 seconds; when this option issettable, zeroing can be executed.

Warning
 Since successful zeroing requires the presence of ambient air (21% oxygen and 0% CO2) in the
gas analyzer, 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.

20.10.6Adverse Effects on Performance

(1) The following circumstances can cause known adverse effects on indicated performance:
 Quantitative effects of humidity or condensate.
 Quantitative effects of barametric pressure.
 Interfering gases or vapors.
 Other sources of interference.
(2) Gas measurement unit
Gas concentration is reported in units of volume percent. The concentration is definde as:

The total pressure of gas mixtureis measured by a cuvette pressure sensor in the ISA gas analyzer.
For conversion to other units, the actural atmospheric pressure sent from the ISA sidestream analyzer
may be used, e.g.
CO2 (mmHg) = (CO2concentration) x (atmospheric pressure (kPa) from the ISA) x (750 / 100)
For example: 5.0 vol% CO2 @ 101.3 kPa 0.05 x 101.3 x 750 / 100 = 38 mmHg

20-13
CO2 Monitoring

(3) Effects of Humidity


The partial pressure and volume percentage of CO2, N2O, oxygen or an anesthetic gas depend on the
amount of water vapor in the measured gas. O2 measurement will be calibrated to show 20.8 vol%, at
actual ambient temperature and humidity level, instead of showing actual partial pressure 20.8 vol% O2
corresponds to the actural O2 concentration in room air with 0.7 vol% H2O concentration (at 1013hPa
this equals for example 25°C and 23% RH). The measurement of CO2, N2O, and anesthetic agents (e.g.
all gases measured by the IR-bench) will always show the actual partial pressure at the current humidity
level.
In the alveoli of a patient, the breathing gas is saturated with water vapor at body temperature (BPTS).
When the breathing gas is sampled, and passing the sampling line, the gas temperature will get close to
the ambient temperature before reaching the ISA sidestream gas analyzer. As the Nomoline removed all
condensed water, no water will reach the ISA gas analyzer. The relative humidity of the sampled
gas will be about 95%.
If CO2 valuesat BTPS are required, the following equation can be used:

Where:
Et CO2 = Et CO2 value sent from ISA [vol %]
Pamb = Ambient pressure sent from ISA [kPa]
3.8 = Typical partial pressure of water vapor condensed between the patient circuit and the ISA[kPa]
Et CO2 (BTPS) = Et CO2 gas concentration at BTPS[vol%]
O2 is assumed to be room air calibrated at a humidity level of 0.7 vol% H2O

20.10.7Airway Obstruction

When the gas airway is occluded, on the screen there will be such analarm message as [AIRWAY
OCCLUSION].Under such a circumstance, replace the Nomoline sampling line.

Warning
 Do not use the ISA sidestream gas analyzer with metered-dose inhalers or nebulized
medications as this may clog the bacteria filter.

20.10.8Consumables

The Nomoline sampling is non-reusable.


Every two weeks or whenever [SAMPLING LINE CLOGGED] alarm message appears, whichever comes
first, the Nomoline sampling line should be replaced.

predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF
transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the
location in which the C20/C29 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the
C20/C29 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed,
additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the C20/C29.
