Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Intended Use and Safety Guidance

Chapter 1 Intended Use and Safety Guidance

1.1 Intended Use/Indications for Use
The monitor is intended to be used for monitoring, storing, recording, and reviewing of, and to
generate alarms for, multiple physiological parameters of adults, pediatrics and neonates. The
monitor is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in hospital environments.
Monitored parameters include: NIBP, SpO2, PR (pulse rate), Quick TEMP/Infrared TEMP.
The monitor is not intended for MRI environments. TEMP module is not intended for neonates.

1.2 Safety Guidance

Federal (U.S.) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

WARNING
1 Before using the device, the equipment, patient cable and sensors etc. should be
checked. Replacement should be taken if there is any evident defect or signs of aging
which may impair the safety or performance.
2 Medical technical equipment such as these monitor/monitoring systems must only be
used by persons who have received adequate training in the use of such equipment
and who are capable of applying it properly.
3 EXPLOSION HAZARD-Do not use the device in a flammable atmosphere where
concentrations of flammable anesthetics or other materials may occur.
4 SHOCK HAZARD-To avoid the RISK of electric shock, this equipment must only be
connected to a SUPPLY MAINS with protective earth. Never adapt the three-prong
plug from the monitor to fit a two-slot outlet.
5 Do not come into contact with the patient, table, or the monitor during defibrillation.
6 The simultaneous use of cardiac pacemaker and other patient-connected equipment
may cause safety hazard.
7 Extreme care must be exercised when applying medical electrical equipment. Many
parts of the human/machine circuit are conductive, such as the patient, connectors,
transducers. It is very important that these conductive parts do not come into contact
with other grounded, conductive parts when connected to the isolated patient input of
the device. Such contact would bridge the patient's isolation and cancel the protection
provided by the isolated input. In particular, there must be no contact of the neutral
electrode and ground.
8 Magnetic and electrical fields are capable of interfering with the proper performance
of the device. For this reason make sure that all external devices operated in the
vicinity of the monitor comply with the relevant EMC requirements. X-ray equipment
or MRI devices are a possible source of interference as they may emit higher levels of
electromagnetic radiation.

Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Intended Use and Safety Guidance

WARNING
9 Route all cables carefully to avoid possible entanglement, apnea, or electrical
interference. For the device mounted over the patient, sufficient precautionary
measures should be taken to prevent it from falling on the patient.
10 Devices connecting with monitor should be equipotential.
11 Do not rely exclusively on the auditory alarm system for patient monitoring.
Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level or off during patient monitoring may result
in a hazard to the patient. Remember that the most reliable method of patient
monitoring combines close personal surveillance with correct operation of monitoring
equipment.
12 Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces must be certified
according to the respective IEC/EN standards (e.g. IEC/EN 60950 for data processing
equipment and IEC/EN 60601-1 for medical equipment). Furthermore all
configurations shall comply with the valid version of the standard IEC/EN 60601-1.
Therefore anybody, who connects additional equipment to the signal input or output
connector to configure a medical system, must make sure that it complies with the
requirements of the valid version of the system standard IEC/EN 60601-1. If in doubt,
consult our technical service department or your local distributor.
13 Only patient cable and other accessories supplied by EDAN can be used. The
performance and electric shock protection cannot be guaranteed, and the patient may
be injured otherwise. Prior to use, check if the casing of a disposable accessory is
intact. Do not use it if its casing is damaged.
14 When interfacing with other equipment, a test for leakage current must be performed
by qualified biomedical engineering personnel before using with patients.
15 If several medical equipments are connected to a patient, the sum of the leakage
currents shouldn‟t exceed the limits, otherwise it may cause shock hazard.
16 In monitor mode, when monitoring is in process, if the power supply is off and there is
no battery for standby, the monitor will be off. The settings configured by the user can
be stored, and settings not configured by user keep no change. That is, the last
settings used will be recovered when the power is restored. In round or spot-checking
mode, the patient type will be restored to adult by default, and the monitor is in status
with no patients, and other settings processing after power off are the same with that
in monitor mode.
17 If leakage or foul odor is detected, ensure that there‟s no fire around.
18 The device and accessories are to be disposed of according to local regulations after
their useful lives. Alternatively, they can be to the dealer or the manufacturer for
recycling or proper disposal. Batteries are hazardous waste. Do NOT dispose them
together with house-hold garbage. At the end of their life hand the batteries over to
the applicable collection points for the recycling of waste batteries. For more detailed
information about recycling of this product or battery, please contact your local Civic
Office, or the shop where you purchased the product.

WARNING
19 The packaging is to be disposed of according to local or hospital‟s regulations;
otherwise, it may cause environmental contamination. Place the packaging at the
place which is inaccessible to children.
20 This equipment is not intended for home usage.
21 Do not service or maintain the monitor or any accessory which is in use with the patient.
22 The appliance coupler or mains plug is used as isolation means from supply mains.
Position the monitor in a location where the operator can easily access the
disconnection device.
23 Assembly of the monitor and modifications during actual service life shall be
evaluated based on the requirements of IEC60601-1.
24 The monitors are MR Unsafe. The monitors are not intended for use in an MRI
environment.
25 Only recommended batteries can be used for the monitor.
26 In monitor mode, without use of data store function, all data measured (including trend
data, review data, alarm events and so on) are cleared either when the monitor is
turned off or when the monitor is powered down in the process of monitoring.
27 Additional multiple socket-outlets or extension cords can‟t be connected to the
system.
28 Only items that have been specified as part of the system or specified as being
compatible with the system can be connected to the system.
29 Connecting any accessory (such as external printer) or other device (such as the
computer) to this monitor makes a medical system. In that case, additional safety
measures should be taken during installation of the system, and the system shall
provide:
a) Within the patient environment, a level of safety comparable to that provided by
medical electrical equipment complying with IEC/EN 60601-1, and
b) Outside the patient environment, the level of safety appropriate for non-medical
electrical equipment complying with other IEC or ISO safety standards.
30 The medical electrical equipment needs to be installed and put into service according
to the EMC Information provided in this user manual.
31 Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect medical electrical
equipment; refer to the recommended separation distances provided in this user
manual.

adjacent or stacked use is necessary, you must check that normal operation is
possible in the necessary configuration before you start monitoring patients.
34 Do not touch accessible parts of medical or non-medical electrical equipment in the
patient environment and the patient simultaneously, such as USB connector, VGA
connector or other signal input/output connectors.
35 SHOCK HAZARD - Don't connect electrical equipment, which has not been supplied
as a part of the system, to the multiple portable socket-outlet supplying the system.
36 SHOCK HAZARD - Don't connect electrical equipment, which has been supplied as a
part of the system, directly to the wall outlet when the non-medical equipment is
intended to be supplied by a multiple portable socket-outlet with an isolation
transformer.
37 Operation of the equipment exceeding specified physiological signal or the
operational specification may cause inaccurate results.
38 The equipment can provide protective means to prevent the patient from being
burned when used with HF SURGICAL EQUIPMENT. The equipment can protect
against the effects of the discharge of a defibrillator. Use only EDAN-approved
accessories.
39 When the monitor is used with HF surgical equipment, the transducer and the cables
must be avoided from conductive connection to the HF equipment. This is to protect
against burns to the patient.

Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Alarms

Chapter 4 Alarms
The alarm information here applies to all measurements. Measurement-specific alarm
information is discussed in the sections of individual measurements.

WARNING
A potential hazard can exist if different alarm presets are used for the same or similar
equipment in any single area, e.g. an intensive care unit or cardiac operating room.

4.1 Alarm Category

In monitor mode, the monitor provides two types of alarms: physiological alarms and technical
alarms. Also, the monitor provides prompts.
In round or spot-checking mode, the monitor provides alert information (please refer to chapter
Alert Setup for details) instead of physiological alarms, and technical alarms. Battery Low will
be displayed in a special audio and visual way. The mode is ―DO-DO-DO‖, which is triggered
once every 25 seconds. The alarm indicator flashes in yellow, with frequency of 0.4 Hz ~ 0.8 Hz.

4.1.1 Physiological Alarms

If one or several physiological parameters of the currently monitored patient exceed the
predefined alarm limit, the monitor will give an alarm, and this type of alarm is called
physiological alarms. About the detailed alarm information, please refer to the Section
Physiological Alarm Information.

4.1.2 Technical Alarms

If one or several technical status of the device is in abnormal status, the monitor will give an
alarm. And this type of alarm is called technical alarms. Technical alarms can‘t be disabled.
About the detailed alarm information, please refer to Section Technical Alarm Information.

4.1.3 Prompts

Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Alarms

4.3 Alarm Levels

In terms of severity, the device‘s alarm levels can be classified into three categories: high level
alarms, medium level alarms and low level alarms.
1. High level alarms
A high level alarm intensively warns the operator of a high priority alarm condition which
requires immediate operator response. Failure to respond to the cause of the alarm condition
is likely to result in death or irreversible injury of the patient.
2. Medium level alarms
A medium level alarm warns the operator of a medium priority alarm condition which
requires prompt operator response. Failure to respond to the cause of the alarm condition is
likely to result in reversible injury of the patient.
3. Low level alarms
A low level alarm reminds the operator of a low priority alarm condition which requires
response. And the response time for a low priority alarm condition can be greater than that for
a medium priority alarm condition. Failure to respond to the cause of the alarm condition is
likely to result in discomfort or reversible minor injury of the patient.
The high/medium/low-level alarms are indicated by the system in following different ways:
Standard
Alarm level Prompt
Mode is ―DO-DO-DO------DO-DO, DO-DO-DO------DO-DO‖, which
High is triggered once every 8-10 seconds. The alarm indicator flashes in red,
with frequency of 1.4 Hz～2.8 Hz. The alarm message flashes with red
background, and the symbol *** is displayed at the alarm area.
Mode is ―DO-DO-DO‖, which is triggered once every 23-25 seconds.
The alarm indicator flashes in yellow, with frequency of 0.4 Hz～0.8
Medium
Hz. The alarm message flashes with yellow background, and the symbol
** is displayed at the alarm area.
Mode is ―DO-‖, which is triggered once every 28-30 seconds. When
physiological alarm is triggered, the alarm indicator is constantly
Low yellow. While for technical alarm, the alarm indicator is constantly blue.
The alarm message flashes with yellow background, and the symbol * is
displayed at the alarm area.

Mode 1
Alarm level Prompt
Mode is ―Di-Di-Di-Di-Di-Di‖, which is triggered once every 10 seconds.
High The alarm indicator flashes in red, with frequency of 1.4 Hz～2.8 Hz.
The alarm message flashes with red background, and the symbol *** is

displayed at the alarm area.

Mode is ―Di-Di-Di‖, which is triggered once every 25 seconds. The
alarm indicator flashes in yellow, with frequency of 0.4 Hz～0.8 Hz.
Medium
The alarm message flashes with yellow background, and the symbol **
is displayed at the alarm area.
Mode is ―Di-‖, which is triggered once every 30 seconds. When
physiological alarm is triggered, the alarm indicator is constantly yellow.
Low While for technical alarm, the alarm indicator is constantly blue. The
alarm message flashes with yellow background, and the symbol * is
displayed at the alarm area.

The sound pressure range for standard audible alarm signals is from 45 dB to 85 dB, and for
Mode 1 is from 30 dB to 85 dB.

calculate some measurements, the safety limits that are applied for some measurements, and the
alarm limit ranges.
To admit a patient, please:
1. Select Menu > Patient Management > New Patient, or press the Admit/Create new patient
hardkey on the front panel, or scan patient barcode by using barcode scanning shortcut, then a
message is displayed to ask the user to confirm to update patient.
2. Click on No to cancel this operation; click on Yes, the Patient Info window is displayed.
3. Enter the patient information:
 MRN: Enter the patient‘s medical record number.
 Last Name: Enter the patient‘s last name (family name).

 Bed No.: Select a bed No. from 1 to 254.
 Doctor: Enter the attending doctor for the patient.
 Gender: Male, Female and N/A.
 Type: Choose the patient type, either Adult, Pediat, or Neonat.
 BloodType: N/A, A, B, AB and O.
 Pace: Choose On or Off (You must select On if your patient has a pacemaker).
 Date of Birth: Enter the patient‘s date of birth.
 Date of Admission: Enter the patient‘s date of admission.
 Height: Enter the patient‘s height.
 Weight: Enter the patient‘s weight.
 Height unit: cm or inch.
 Weight unit: kg or lb.

2. The real-time monitoring information is displayed on the central monitoring system as the
same to the monitor, and the central monitoring system can perform some bilateral control.
For example: changing patient information, receiving patient, discharging patient and so
forth.
For detailed information, please refer to MFM-CMS Central Monitoring System User Manual.
And the monitor supports HL 7 protocol.
NOTE:
1 Use wired instead of wireless networking when connecting the monitor to central
monitoring system in the operating room because the ESU will interfere with a
wireless network, which may cause networking failure.
2 Make sure the network connection between the monitor and the central monitoring
system is in good condition when the time synchronization function on the monitor is
active (default setting is off. Setting path: System Setup > Date/Time > Sync Time).
If the setting is on, the monitor will accept time synchronization from MFM-CMS.
3 The time synchronization function might not be available to all software versions of
MFM-CMS. Consult our technical service department or your local distributor for
more information.

Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Monitoring SpO2

Chapter 8 Monitoring SpO2

8.1 Overview
SpO2 is based on the absorption of pulse blood oxygen to red and infrared light by means of
finger sensor and SpO2 measuring unit. SpO2 Plethysmogram measurement is employed to
determine the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in the arterial blood. If, for example, 97% of the
hemoglobin molecules in the red blood cells of the arterial blood combine with oxygen, then the
blood has a SpO2 oxygen saturation of 97%. The SpO2 numeric on the monitor will read 97%.
The SpO2 numeric shows the percentage of hemoglobin molecules which have combined with
oxygen molecules to form oxyhemoglobin. The SpO2/PLETH parameter can also provide a pulse
rate signal and a plethysmogram wave.

8.2 SpO2 Safety Information

WARNING
1 If the SpO2 sensor cannot work properly, please reconnect the sensor or change a
new one.
2 Do not use the SpO2 sensors if the packaging or the sensor is damaged and return
them to the vendor.
3 Prolonged and continuous monitoring may increase the risk of unexpected change of
dermal condition such as abnormal sensitivity, rubescence, vesicle, repressive
putrescence, and so on. It is especially important to check the sensor placement of
neonate and patient of poor perfusion or immature dermogram by light collimation and
proper attaching strictly according to changes of the skin. More frequent examinations
may be required for different patients.
4 Tissue damage may be caused by incorrect application or prolonged measurement
duration using the sensor (more than 4 hours). Inspect the sensor periodically
according to the sensor user manual.
5 Use only EDAN permitted sensors and extension cables with the monitor. Other
sensors or extension cables may cause improper monitor performance and/or minor
personal injury.
6 High oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to retrolental fibroplasia. If this
is a consideration do NOT set the high alarm limit to 100%, which is equivalent to
switching the alarm off.
7 When serious arrhythmia is present, the SpO2 pulse rate may differ from ECG heart
rate but this does not indicate an inaccurate SpO2 value.

- 51 -
Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Monitoring SpO2

NOTE:
1 Make sure the nail covers the light window. The wire should be on the backside of the
hand.
2 SpO2 waveform is not proportional to the pulse volume.
3 Avoid placing the sensor on extremities with an arterial catheter, or intravascular
venous infusion line.
4 Don‟t use the functional simulator to assess the SpO2 accuracy.
5 The device is calibrated to display functional oxygen saturation.
6 The materials with which the patient or any other person can come into contact
conform with the standard of EN ISO 10993-1: 2009.
7 When the SpO2 value is potentially incorrect, it will display “-?-”.

8.3 Measuring SpO2

1. Select the correct patient category setting (adult/pediatric and neonatal), as this is used to
optimize the calculation of the SpO2 and pulse numerics.
2. During measurement, ensure that the application site:
– has a pulsatile flow, ideally with a good circulation perfusion.
– has not changed in its thickness, causing an improper fit of the sensor.

Measurement Procedure
1. Switch on the monitor.
2. Attach the sensor to the appropriate site of the patient finger.
3. Plug the connector of the sensor extension cable into the SpO2 socket.

Mounting of the Sensor

WARNING
Inspect the application site every two to three hours to ensure skin quality and correct
optical alignment. If the skin quality changes, move the sensor to another site. Change
the application site at least every four hours. For neonate, change the measuring site
every 20 minutes.

- 52 -
Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Monitoring SpO2

NOTE:
Injected dyes such as methylene blue or intravascular dyshemoglobins such as
methemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin may lead to inaccurate measurements.

8.4 Measurement Limitations

Certain patient conditions can affect the measurements and cause the loss of the pulse signal.
Inaccurate measurements can be caused by:
 incorrect sensor application
 high levels of ambient light sources, such as surgical lights (especially those with a xenon
light source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, and direct sunlight
 failure to cover the sensor with opaque material in high levels of ambient light conditions
 dysfunctional hemoglobins
 poor peripheral perfusion
 excessive patient movement
 venous pulsations
 intravascular dyes, such as indocyanine green or methylene blue
 externally applied coloring agents (nail polish, dye, pigmented cream)
 defibrillation
 placement of the sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or
intravascular line
 electromagnetic interference
 low perfusion
Loss of pulse signal can occur for the following reasons:
 the sensor is applied too tightly
 a blood pressure cuff is inflated on the same extremity as the one with the sensor attached
 there is arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor
 poor peripheral perfusion
NOTE:
1 Clean and remove any substances such as nail polish from the application site.
Periodically check to ensure that the sensor remains properly positioned on the
patient.
2 To prevent interference from ambient light, ensure that the sensor is properly applied,
and cover the sensor site with opaque material.
3 Move the sensor to a less active site, and keep the patient still, if possible.

- 53 -
Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Monitoring SpO2

4 For Nellcor SpO2 module, the algorithm automatically extends the amount of data
required for measuring SpO2 and PR depending on the measurement conditions.
During normal measurement conditions the averaging time is 6 to 7 seconds. During
conditions such as those caused by low perfusion, interference (e.g., external
interference such as ambient light or patient movement), or a combination of these,
the algorithm automatically extends the amount of data required beyond 7 seconds. If
the resulting dynamic averaging time exceeds 20 seconds, the screen will display
prompt message “SpO2 Search Pulse” and SpO2 and PR will continue to be updated
every second. As these conditions extend, the amount of data required continues to
increase. If the dynamic averaging time reaches 40 seconds, the screen will display
high-level alarm message “SpO2 No Pulse” indicating a loss-of-pulse condition.

8.5 Assessing the Validity of a SpO2 Reading

You can check the quality of the pleth wave and the stability of the SpO2 values to assess whether
the sensor functions properly and whether the SpO2 readings are valid. Always use these two
indications simultaneously to assess the validity of a SpO2 reading.
Generally, the quality of the SpO2 pleth wave reflects the quality of the light signals obtained by
the sensor. A wave of poor quality manifests a decline of the signal validity. On the other hand,
the stability of the SpO2 values also reflects the signal quality. Different from varying SpO2
readings caused by physiological factors, unstable SpO2 readings are resulted from the sensor‘s
receiving signals with interference. The problems mentioned above may be caused by patient
movement, wrong sensor placement or sensor malfunction. To obtain valid SpO2 readings, try to
limit patient movement, check the placement of the sensor, measure another site or replace the
sensor.
NOTE:
1 The SpO2 accuracy has been validated in controlled human studies against arterial
blood sample reference measured with a CO-oximeter. Pulse oximeter
measurements are statistically distributed, only about two-thirds of the
measurements can be expected to fall within the specified accuracy compared to
CO-oximeter measurements. The volunteer population in the studies are composed
of local healthy men and women from age 19 to 37 (for EDAN SpO2 module), from 18
to 50 (for Nellcor SpO2 module), with various skin pigmentations. Note that the study
population was healthy adults and not in the actual intended use population.
2 The pulse rate accuracy is obtained by comparison to the pulse rate generated with
an arterial oxygen simulator (also an electronic pulse simulator).

8.6 SpO2 Alarm Delay

There is a delay between a physiological event at the measurement site and the corresponding
alarm at the monitor. This delay has two components:
1. The time between the occurrence of the physiological event and when this event is
represented by the displayed numerical values. This delay depends on the algorithmic

- 54 -
Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Monitoring SpO2

processing time and the sensitivity setting. The lower the sensitivity configured, the longer
the time needed until the numerical values reflect the physiological event.
2. The time between the displayed numerical values exceeding an alarm limit and the alarm
indication on the monitor. This delay is the combination of the configured alarm delay time
plus the general system delay time.

8.7 Perfusion Index (PI)*

* Only applicable to the EDAN SpO2 module.
PI is a numeric value indicating perfusion level. It reflects the perfusion level at the monitoring
site.
As the measurement of SpO2 is based on the pulsation caused by the blood flow through the
vessel, PI is in relation to the strength of the pulse. Also, you can use PI as a signal quality
indicator for the measurement of SpO2.
PI is indicated by a value ranging from 0 to 10. The bigger the value is, the better the perfusion
and the signal quality will be. The perfusion level and the signal quality are at their maximum
when the value reaches 10. When PI is below 2, it indicates the low perfusion and the poor signal
quality at the monitoring site; you need to reposition the sensor or find a better site.
The PI value will be displayed in the SpO2 parameter area.

8.8 Setting Pitch Tone

If tone modulation is on, the PR sound lowers when the SpO2 level drops. In the SpO2 Setup
menu, select pitch tone to toggle between On and Off.

8.9 Setting Sensitivity

The different sensitivity indicates different refresh frequency. High indicates the refresh
frequency of SpO2 value is the most frequent. To change the sensitivity, please follow the steps:
1 Select the SpO2 Setup menu;
2 Select Sensitivity on the interface and select the desired sensitivity from the popup list.

8.10 NIBP/SpO2 Simul Measurement Setting

Enter SpO2 Setup > NIBP Simul to choose ON or OFF. t1~t2 is the beginning and ending time.
T1 and t2 respectively means beginning and ending (cuff deflation over) NIBP measurement.
When NIBP/SpO2 Simul measurement is set to on:
 General information area displays NIBP Simul;
 During t1~t2, there are no SpO2 and PR physiological alarms
 Before t1 and after t2, there are normal SpO2 and PR physiological alarms

- 55 -
Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Monitoring SpO2

 It will not influence other functions of the monitor.

8.11 SatSeconds Alarm Management*

* Only applicable to the Nellcor SpO2 module. * Not applicable to MFM-CMS.

8.11.1 Describing SatSeconds

With traditional alarm management, upper and lower alarm limits are set for monitoring oxygen
saturation. During monitoring, as soon as an alarm limit is violated by as little as one percentage
point, an alarm is immediately triggered. When the SpO2 level fluctuates near an alarm limit, the
alarm is triggered each time the limit is violated. Such frequent alarms can be distracting.
With the SatSeconds technique, upper and lower SpO2 alarm limits are set in the same way as
traditional alarm management. However, you can also set a SatSeconds limit that allows
monitoring of SpO2 below the selected lower alarm limit and above the selected upper alarm limit
for a period of time before an alarm is triggered.
The method of calculation is as follows:
The number of percentage points that the SpO2 falls outside the alarm limit is multiplied by the
number of seconds that the SpO2 level remains outside that limit. This can be stated as an
equation:
Points × Seconds = SatSeconds
Where:
Points = SpO2 percentage points outside of the limit
Seconds = number of seconds that SpO2 remains at that point outside of the limit
The alarm response time, assuming a SatSeconds limit set at 50 and a lower alarm limit set at 90,
is described and illustrated below.
In this example, the SpO2 level drops to 88 (2 points below the limit) and remains there for a
period of 2 seconds (2 points × 2 seconds = 4 SatSeconds). The SpO2 then drops to 86 for 3
seconds and then to 84 for 6 seconds. The resulting SatSeconds values are shown below:

SpO2 Seconds SatSeconds

2 × 2 = 4
4 × 3 = 12
6 × 6 = 36

Total SatSeconds = 52
After approximately 10.7 seconds, a SatSeconds alarm will be triggered, because the limit of 50
SatSeconds has been exceeded. See arrow (↑) in the following figure.

- 56 -
Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Monitoring SpO2

Alarm Response with SatSeconds

Saturation levels may fluctuate rather than remaining steady for a period of several seconds.
Often, the patient SpO2 may fluctuate above and below the alarm limit, re-entering the non-alarm
range several times. During such fluctuation, the monitor integrates the number of SpO2 points,
both positive and negative, until either the SatSeconds limit is reached, or the patient SpO2
returns within a normal range and remains there.

8.11.2 SatSeconds “Safety Net”

The SatSeconds ―Safety Net‖ is for patients whose saturation makes frequent excursions below or
above the SpO2 limit but does not remain in violation long enough for the SatSeconds limit to be
reached. If three or more SpO2 alarm limit violations occur within a 60-second period, an alarm
will be triggered even if the SatSeconds limit has not been reached.

8.11.3 Setting SatSeconds Duration

You can set SatSeconds to Off or to the duration among 10, 25, 50 and 100. To configure the
SatSeconds settings, enter the SpO2 Setup menu and select the desired SatSeconds setting from
the SatSeconds list.

Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Monitoring PR

Chapter 9 Monitoring PR
9.1 Overview
The pulse numeric counts the arterial pulsations that result from the mechanical activity of the
heart in beats per minute (bpm). You can display a pulse from any measured SpO2 signal or NIBP
measurement.

9.2 PR Source
PR source can be from SpO2 or NIBP, and is not selectable. SpO2 is preferred source if PR from
SpO2 is valid. If PR is on, and SpO2 & NIBP both are off, PR parameter area will display No
source.

9.3 Setting PR Volume

Select Function in PR Setup menu, then select the appropriate setting for the PR volume: five
bars represent the maximum volume and one bar represents the minimum volume. If none of bars
are selected, the PR volume will be off. Beat frequency has positive correlation with
measurement value.

Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Monitoring NIBP

Chapter 10 Monitoring NIBP

10.1 Overview
This monitor uses the oscillometric method for measuring NIBP. It can be used for adult,
pediatric and neonatal patients. It is also intended for use with pregnant, including pre-eclamptic
patients.
Oscillometric devices measure the amplitude of pressure changes in the occluding cuff as the cuff
deflates from above systolic pressure. The amplitude suddenly increases as the pulse breaks
through the occlusion in the artery. As the cuff pressure decreases further, the pulsations increase
in amplitude, reach a maximum (which approximates to the mean pressure), and then diminish.
The blood pressure measurements determined with this device comply with the American
National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers (ANSI/AAMI/ISO
81060-2:2013) in relation to mean error and standard deviation.

10.2 NIBP Safety Information

WARNING
1 Do not measure NIBP on patients with sickle-cell disease or any condition where skin
damage has occurred or is expected.
2 Do not measure NIBP on the arm of the same side with a mastectomy.
3 Use clinical judgement to decide whether to perform frequent blood pressure
measurements on patients with severe blood clotting disorders because of the risk of
hematoma in the limb fitted with the cuff.
4 Ensure that the correct setting is selected when performing measurements. It may be
dangerous for the neonate to use an over pressure level. Not using the neonate mode
on a neonatal patient can block the blood flow, potentially causing harm to the patient.
5 The equipment is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgery.
6 Before starting a measurement, verify that you have selected a setting appropriate for
your patient (adult, child or neonate.)
7 Do not apply the cuff to a limb that has an intravenous infusion or catheter in place.
This could cause tissue damage around the catheter when infusion is slowed or
blocked during cuff inflation.
8 Make sure that the air conduit connecting the blood pressure cuff and the monitor is
neither blocked nor tangled.
9 Do not attach the cuff to a limb being used for IV infusions as the cuff inflation can
block the infusion, potentially causing harm to patient.
10 Measuring of blood pressure can temporarily cause malfunctioning of other medical
monitoring devices on the same limb.

- 59 -
Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Monitoring NIBP

WARNING
11 Do not apply the cuff to a limb where intravascular access or therapy, or an
arterio-venous (A-V) shunt is present, otherwise, it may result in injury to the patient.
12 NIBP readings can be affected by the measurement site, the position of the patient,
exercise, or the patient's physiologic conditions.
13 Continuous cuff pressure due to connection tubing kinking can block the blood flow,
and may result in injury to the patient.
14 Verifying the calibration is only applicable for adults, and it cannot be operated in
automatic measuring interval. Continuous measuring cannot be operated in automatic
measuring interval either.

NOTE:
1 It is suggested that the user should not start NIBP measuring when the low battery
displays, or the monitor may be turned off automatically.
2 If you spill liquid onto the equipment or accessories, particularly if there is a chance
that it can get inside the tubing or the measurement device, contact your service
personnel.
3 Continuous use of the automatic measuring mode for short intervals may lead to the
discomfort of patient. Continuous measuring and automatic measuring in neonatal or
pediatric mode may result in tissue damage or ischemia to the patient.
4 NIBP measurement can be affected by extremes of temperature, humidity and
altitude.
5 NIBP measurement value should be explained by qualified professionals.

10.3 Measurement Limitations

Measurements are impossible with pulse rate extremes of less than 40 bpm or greater than 240
bpm, or if the patient is on a heart-lung machine.
The measurement may be inaccurate or impossible in the following situations:
 A regular arterial pressure pulse is hard to detect.
 Patients with cardiac arrhythmias.
 Patients with excessive and continuous movement such as shivering or convulsions.
 Patients with rapid blood pressure changes.
 Patients with severe shock or hypothermia that reduces blood flow to the peripheries.
 Patients with obesity, where a thick layer of fat surrounding a limb dampens the oscillations
coming from the artery.
 Patients on an edematous extremity.

Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Monitoring NIBP

10.4 Measurement Methods

There are four methods of measuring NIBP:
 Manual - measurement on demand. Manual is the default setting in round and spot-checking
mode.
 Auto - continually repeated measurements (between 1 and 480 minute adjustable interval).
Auto is used in monitor mode only.
 Continual- the measurement will run consecutively in five minutes with intervals of 5
seconds, then the monitor enters manual mode or auto mode.
 Average – between 1 and 5 minute adjustable AVG interval, measurement will run as
specified AVG times (3 or 5 times are optional), then gets average value. Average is used in
round or spot-checking mode only. After finishing average measurement, the monitor enters
manual mode.
To change Measure Mode, Interval, AVG Interval and AVG Times, please select NIBP
Setup > Function Setup.

WARNING
Prolonged non-invasive blood pressure measurements in Auto mode may be associated
with purpura, ischemia and neuropathy in the limb wearing the cuff. When monitoring a
patient, examine the extremities of the limb frequently for normal color, warmth and
sensitivity. If any abnormality is observed, stop the blood pressure measurements.

10.5 Measurement Procedures

To obtain accurate measurements, the following operating steps need to be observed:
1. Ensure the patient position in normal use, including
 Comfortably seated (or lie flat on back)
 Legs uncrossed
 Feet flat on the floor
 Back and arm supported
 Middle of the cuff at the level of the right atrium of the heart
2. Relax as much as possible and do not talk during the measurement.
3. Wait for five minutes until the first reading is taken.
NOTE:
If an NIBP measurement is suspect, repeat the measurement. If you are still uncertain
about the reading, use another method to measure the blood pressure.

- 61 -
Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Monitoring NIBP

To start the measurement:

1. Connect the air hose and switch on the monitor.
2. Apply the blood pressure cuff to the patient's arm and follow the instructions below. Ensure
that the cuff is completely deflated.
Apply the appropriate size cuff to the patient (About the cuff size selection, please refer to
Section NIBP accessories), and make sure that the symbol "Φ" is over the artery. Ensure that
the cuff is not wrapped too tightly around the limb. Excessive tightness may cause
discoloration and eventual ischemia of the extremity.
NOTE:
The width of the cuff is either approximately 40% of the limb circumference or 2/3 of the
upper arm length. The inflatable part of the cuff should be long enough to encircle
80-100% of the limb. The wrong size of cuff can cause erroneous readings. If the cuff
size is in question, use another cuff with suitable size to avoid errors.

Cuff Usage
3. Connect the cuff to the air tubing.
4. Check whether the patient type is appropriately selected. Clicking patient information area or
pressing Switch Patient Type hardkey can change patient Type.
5. Select a measurement mode in the NIBP Setup menu. Refer to section Operation Prompts
for details.

6. Press the button on the front panel to start a measurement.

NOTE:
1 Please make sure the cuff is well connected. A leak of air may cause measurement
error.

Vital Signs Monitor User Manual Monitoring NIBP

When the pressure does not work properly and the system fails to give a message for the problem,
pick Reset in the User Maintain > NIBP menu to activate self-test procedure, and thus restore
the system from abnormal performance.

10.8 Calibrating NIBP

NIBP is not user-calibrated. Cuff-pressure transducers must be verified and calibrated, if
necessary, at least once every two years by a qualified service professional. See the Service
Manual for details.

10.9 Leakage Test

WARNING
This leakage test other than being specified in the EN 1060-1 standard is to be used by
the user to simply determine whether there are air leaks in the NIBP airway. If at the end
of the test the system gives the prompt that the NIBP airway has air leaks, please contact
the manufacturer for repair.

Procedure of Leakage Test

1. Connect the cuff securely with the socket for NIBP air hole.
2. Wrap the cuff around the cylinder of an appropriate size.
3. Make sure the patient type has been set to Adult.
4. Access Menu > User Maintain.
5. Select Leakage Test in NIBP. Then the prompt Leak. Test Running will appear indicating
that the system has started the leakage test.
For EDAN module:
The system will automatically inflate the pneumatic system to about 180 mmHg. After 20
seconds to 40 seconds, if system leakage has detected, the system will automatically open the
deflating valve to stop the leak test and indicates NIBP Leak. If no system leakage is detected
when the pneumatic system is inflated to 180 mmHg, the system will perform a deflation to an
approximate value of 40 mmHg and subsequently perform the second phase leak test. After 20
seconds to 40 seconds, the system will automatically open the deflating valve and provide
corresponding indication based on the test result.
For SunTech module:
NOTE:
When applying high pressures; take special care to increase the pressure at a rate that
will not cause unwanted overpressure errors (300 mmHg).
Manually inflate the pneumatic system to approximately 250 mmHg. Start the timer and wait 60

Chapter 11 Monitoring TEMP

11.1 Quick TEMP with T2A Module

11.1.1 Introduction
iM3 with the T2A module takes a temperature in either Predict or Monitor Mode. In the Predict
mode, the monitor measures oral/axillary/rectal TEMP in a short time, calculates and gets the
measuring results. In Monitor mode, it can monitor patient for 10 min. The Oral/Axillary sensor
and Rectal sensor are of standard configuration.
The monitor can only measure temperature of adult and pediatric patients. If the user measure
temperature of neonate patient, the monitor will not display data.
Making a TEMP Measurement
 Select the correct sensor according to the measuring position and patient type.
 Apply the sensor to the patient. You are advised to use a protective rubber cover on sensor.
 Ensure the alarm settings (on or off, higher alarm or lower alarm limit) are appropriate for
the patient and the type of temperature measurement.
 Select the correct measuring position in menu.
 Switch on the monitor.
It takes 5min for the body temperature to stabilize.

WARNING
1 To ensure optimal accuracy, always confirm that the correct mode and alarm limit are
selected. Changing the measure position may lead to the change of alarm limit.
2 Verify probe cables fault detection before the beginning of monitoring phase. Unplug
the temperature probe cable from the socket, and then the screen will display the
error message TEMP SENSOR OFF and the audible alarm is activated.
3 Take the TEMP probe and cable carefully. When they are not in use, you should coil
up the probe and cable into a loose circle. If the wire inside the cable is tensely pulled,
it may cause mechanical damage to the probe and the cable.
4 Verification of the temperature module is necessary as frequently as dictated by your
Hospital Procedures Policy. When you need to calibrate the temperature
measurement, please contact the manufacturer.
5 Patient actions may interfere with accurate oral temperature readings. Ingesting hot or
cold liquids, eating food, chewing gum or mints, brushing teeth, smoking or
performing strenuous activity may affect temperature readings for up to 20min after
activity has ended.

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is
affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV
broadcast cannot be 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 iM3 is used exceeds the
applicable RF compliance level above, iM3 should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary,
such as reorienting or relocating iM3.
