The Basics
2.5.1 Battery Maintenance
2.5.1.1 Conditioning a Battery
A battery should be conditioned before it is used for the first time. A battery
conditioning cycle is one uninterrupted charge of the battery, followed by an
uninterrupted discharge of the battery. Batteries should be conditioned regularly to
maintain their useful life. Condition a battery once when it is used or stored for two
months, or when its run time becomes noticeably shorter.
To condition a battery, follow this procedure:

1. Disconnect the monitor from the patient and stop all monitoring or measuring.
2. Insert the battery in need of conditioning in the battery slot of the monitor, and
leave the other slot empty if your minitor has two slots.
3. Apply AC power to the monitor and allow the battery to charge uninterrupted
for 10 hours.
4. Remove AC power and allow the monitor to run from the battery until it shuts
off.
5. Apply AC power again to the monitor and allow the battery to charge
uninterrupted for 10 hours.
6. This battery is now conditioned and the monitor can be returned to service.
2.5.1.2 Checking a Battery
The performance of a rechargeable battery may deteriorate over time. To check the
performance of a battery, follow this procedure:
1. Disconnect the monitor from the patient and stop all monitoring or measuring.
2. Apply AC power to the monitor and allow the battery to charge uninterrupted
for 10 hours.
3. Remove AC power and allow the monitor to run from the battery until it shuts
off.
4. The operating time of battery reflects its performance directly.
If your monitor has two battery slots, you can check two batteries at the same time.
Please replace the battery or contact with the maintenance personnel if its operating
time is significantly lower than the specified time.
2-13
The Basics
NOTE
Life expectancy of a battery depends on how frequent and how long it is

used. For a properly maintained and stored lead-acid or lithium ion
battery, its life expectancy is about 2 or 3 years respectively. For more
aggressive use models, life expectancy can be less. We recommend
replacing lead acid batteries every 2 years and lithium ion batteries
every 3 years.
The battery might be damaged or malfunctioned if its operating time is

too short after being fully charged. The operating time depends on the
configuration and operation. For example, measuring NIBP more
frequently will also shorten the operating time.
2.5.2 Battery Recycling
When a battery has visual signs of damage, or no longer holds a charge, it should be
replaced. Remove the old battery from the monitor and recycle it properly. To
dispose of the batteries, follow local laws for proper disposal.
WARNING
Do not disassemble batteries, or dispose of them in fire, or cause them

to short circuit. They may ignite, explode, leak or heat up, causing
personal injury.

Alarms
6.1 Overview
The monitor gives audible or visual alarms to indicate the medical staff, when a vital
sign of the patient appears abnormal, or mechanical or electrical problems occur to
the monitor.
Upon turning on the monitor, a beep will be heard. At the same time, the alarm
indicator will flash once in yellow and red. This is used to verify the audible and
visual alarm function of the monitor. If no beep is heard, or the alarm indicator
doesn’t flash normally, please do not use the monitor, and contact our customer
service.
For details about alarm setup of this monitor, please refer to 4.4.2 Alarm Setup.
6.1.1 Alarm Categories
The alarms are divided into three categories: physiological alarms, technical alarms
and prompt information.
1. Physiological alarms
A physiological alarm either indicates that a monitored physiological parameter is
out of specified limits or indicates an abnormal patient condition. For example: HR
TOO LOW, ECG LOST or RESP ARTIFACT, etc. Physiological alarm messages are
displayed in the physiological alarms area of the main screen.
2. Technical alarms
Technical alarms are also referred to as system error messages. A technical alarm
indicates that the monitor or parts of the monitor is not capable of accurately
monitoring the patient’s condition due to improper operation or system failure. For
example: ECG INIT ERR or TEMP SELFTEST ERROR, etc. Technical alarm
messages are usually displayed in the technical alarms area of the main screen. But
the technical alarms related to NIBP are displayed in the lower part of the NIBP
parameter window.
3. Prompt information
Strictly speaking, prompt information cannot be counted in alarms. It is usually
information relating to the system, but not concerning vital signs of patients. For
6-2
Alarms
example, the monitor prompts ”NIBP alarm disabled!” at the time the monitor is
powered on. Besides, if a parameter module is turned on but the required leads or
sensor are not connected, the monitor will prompt accordingly, such as ”ECG LEAD
OFF” or ”SPO2 SENSOR OFF”, etc. Prompt information is usually displayed in the
technical alarms area. But the prompt information relating to NIBP is displayed in
the lower part of the NIBP paramter window.
NOTE
To distinguish from the prompt information, the alarm message is

displayed with yellow or red background.
6.1.2 Alarm Levels
The alarms are divided into three priority levels: high level alarms, medium level
alarms and low level alarms.
1. High level alarms

The patient ‘s life is in danger and requires emergency treatment, or
Serious technical problem occurs to the monitor, such as error in ECG module
initialization.
2. Medium level alarms
Vital signs of the patient become abnormal, and patient requires immediate
treatment, or
Certain technical problem occurs to the monitor, such as error in temperature
calibration.
3. Low level alarms
Certain technical alarm occurs to the monitor, such as ECG lead off in
measurement.
The levels of all technical alarms and some physiological alarms are not
user-adjustable, because they have been fixed when the monitor is produced.
However, you can change the levels of some physiological alarms in the
corresponding parameter setup menus.
All physiological alarms, technical alarms and prompt information are given in
Appendix C Alarm Messages and Prompt Information.
6-3
Alarms
6.2 Alarm Modes
When an alarm occurs, the monitor raise the user’s attention by the following
audible or visual indications.
Visual alarms
Audible alarms
Alarm messages
Parameter flashes
Besides, the visual alarms, audible alarms and alarm messages are given in different
ways to identify different alarm levels.
6.2.1 Visual Alarms
The alarm indicator on the front panel of the monitor varies its flash color and
frequency to indicate different alarm levels.
High level alarm: red and quick flash;
Medium level alarm: yellow and slow flash;
Low level alarm: yellow light without flash.
6.2.2 Audible alarms
The monitor uses different alarm tones to indicate different alarm levels.
High level alarm: “DO-DO-DO--DO-DO---DO-DO-DO--DO-DO”.
Medium level alarm: “DO-DO-DO”.
Low level alarm: “DO”.
Different intervals correspond to different alarm levels: High level alarm phonates
once every 3 or 8 seconds. Medium level alarm phonates once every 14 or 24
seconds. Low level alarm phonates once every 24 seconds. For details, please refer
to 4.7 Maintenance.
6-4
Alarms
NOTE
When multiple alarms of different levels occur simultaneously, the

monitor selects the alarm of the highest level and gives alarm tone
accordingly.
6.2.3 Alarm Messages
Alarm messages are given when alarms occur. The alarm messages are displayed in
the physiological alarms area or the technical alarms area in black. For physiological
alarms, asterisks are displayed before the alarm messages to identify the alarm level.
High level alarms: triple asterisks “***”
Medium level alarms: dual asterisks “**”
Low level alarms: single asterisk “*”
The monitor varies the background color of the technical and physiological alarm
messages to indicate the alarm level.
High level alarms: red background color
Medium level alarms: yellow background color
Low level alarms: yellow background color
NOTE
Comparing with an alarm message, the background color of prompt

information is the same as that of the position where it appears.
The NIBP technical alarm messages appear in the NIBP parameter

window. For high level alarms, the text color is red; for medium and low
level alarms, the text color is yellow. The background color is the same
as the parameter window.
6.2.4 Parameter Flashes
An alarm is triggered when a patient parameter exceeds the parameter limit. At the
same time, the measured parameter value in the parameter window flashes every
second. If the ALM LIMIT in the SELECTION menu is turned ON, the exceeded
upper or lower alarm limit also flashes every second.
6-5

ECG/RESP Monitoring
11.1 Overview
11.1.1 ECG Waveform
In the standard screen, one or two ECG waveform(s) is (are) displayed at the top of
the display when LEAD TYPE is set to 3 LEADS or 5LEADS respectively in the
ECG SETUP menu.
1 2 3
4 5 Figure 11-1 ECG Waveforms
As shown above, when 5 LEADS is selected, five labels are located above the ECG
waveforms:
1. ECG lead of channel 1
You can select the lead of channel 1 from the label options.
When you use a 3-lead set, the monitor gives three lead options: I, II and III;
When you use a 5-lead set, the monitor gives seven lead options: II, III, aVR,
aVL, aVF, V and I.
2. Gain of the channel-1 waveform

You may use this label to adjust the amplitude of the channel-1 ECG waveform. The
gain options include ×0.125, ×0.25, ×0.5, ×1, ×2 and AUTO. When AUTO is
selected, the monitor adjusts the gain automatically. Besides, a 1mV scale is
displayed at the right side of each ECG waveform. The height of the 1mV bar is
directly proportional to the ECG waveform amplitude.
3. Filter Method
The filtering enables clearer and more detailed waveforms. There are three filter
methods for selection.
11-2
ECG/RESP Monitoring
DIAGNOSTIC: The monitor displays the ECG waveforms without filter;

MONITOR: It effectively filters the artifacts that might cause false alarms;
SURGERY: This filter is used to reduce the artifacts and interference from
electrosurgery equipment.
The selected filter is applied to both channels, but the filter label is merely displayed
above the first ECG waveform.
WARNING
Only in the DIAGNOSTIC mode will the monitor provide non-processed

real signal waveforms. In the MONITOR or SURGERY mode, the ECG
waveforms may have slight distortions and the result of the ST segment
analysis may be affected greatly. In the SURGERY mode, the ARR
analysis result may be affected to some extent. Hence, the DIAGNOSTIC
mode is recommended when monitoring a patient in an environment
with slight interference.
4. ECG lead of channel 2: You can select the lead of channel 2 in the same method
used to select the channel-1 lead.
5. Gain of the channel-2 waveform: You can adjust the gain of the channel-2 ECG
waveform in the same method used for channel 1.
NOTE
If the amplitude of an ECG waveform is too large, the peak of the

waveform might not be displayed. In this case, you should change the
waveform gain properly.
At present, the central monitoring system of us is unable to display an

ECG waveform of the gain ×0.125. If your monitor is connected with this
system, the ECG waveform displayed by the central monitoring system
will be changed from ×0.125 to ×0.25.
The selected leads of channel 1 and channel 2 should not be identical.

Otherwise, the system will change one of them automatically. In the
MULTI-LEADS DISPLAY mode or the HALF-SCN MUTLI-LEADS display
mode, the leads of both channels cannot be set.

11.2 ECG Monitoring Procedure
11.2.1 Preparation
1. Skin preparation
The quality of ECG information displayed on the monitor is a direct result of the
quality of the electrical signal received at the electrode. Proper skin preparation is
necessary for good signal quality at the electrode. A good signal at the electrode
provides the monitor with valid information for processing the ECG data. Choose
flat, non-muscular areas to place electrodes. Following is a suggested guideline for
skin preparation:
Shave hair from skin at chosen sites.
Gently rub skin surfaces at sites to remove dead skin cells.
Thoroughly cleanse the site with a mild soap and water solution (do not use
ether or pure alcohol because they will increase skin impedance).
Dry the skin completely before applying the electrodes.
2. Attach the ECG leadwire to the electrodes prior to placement.

3. Place the electrodes on the patient. If the conductive ointment is not applied to
the electrodes, apply it before the placement.
4. Connect the electrode lead to the patient cable.
5. Make sure the monitor is turned on and is ready for monitoring.
11-5
ECG/RESP Monitoring
11.2.2 Electrode Placement
WARNING
Use only the specified ECG cable for monitoring.
When applying electrodes or connecting cables, make sure they are not
connected to any conductive part or the ground. Verify that all ECG
electrodes, including neutral electrodes, are securely attached to the
patient.
Skin irritation may result from the continuous application of the ECG
electrodes. These should be checked each day. If there is an indication
of excess skin irritation, replace the electrodes or change the location of
the electrodes every 24 hours.
Do not touch the patient, bed or instrument during defibrillation.
When applying the ECG cable with no resistance to our patient monitor
or other patient monitor that has no current limit resistance in it, the
monitor cannot be applied to defibrillation.
Interference from a non-grounded instrument near the patient and ESU

interference can cause inaccuracy of the ECG waveform.
Always dispose of, or recycle electrodes properly to prevent from

environment contamination.
Verify the lead fault detection prior to the start of monitoring. Unplug the
ECG cable from the ECG connector and the screen should display the
error message “ECG LEAD OFF” and an audible alarm should be
activated.

ECG/RESP Monitoring
11.2.2.3 Electrode Placement for Surgical Patients
Electrode placement during surgery is dependent on the type of surgery being

performed. For example, with open chest surgery, the electrodes might be placed
laterally on the chest or on the back. In the operating room, artifact can sometimes
affect the ECG waveform due to the use of electrosurgery equipment. To help reduce
this, place the electrodes on the right and left shoulders, the right and left sides near
the stomach, and place the chest lead on the left side at mid-chest. Avoid placing the
electrodes on the upper arms. This will cause the ECG waveform to be too small.
WARNING
When using Electrosurgery equipment, patient leads should be placed in

a position that is equal distance from the Electrosurgery electrotome
and the grounding plate to avoid burns to the patient. The
Electrosurgery equipment wire and the ECG cable must be kept
separated and not allowed to tangle.
When using Electrosurgery equipment, never place the ECG electrodes

near the grounding plate of the Electrosurgery device. This will cause a
great deal of interference with the ECG signal.

ALM LO Lower alarm limit
Determines the lower ECG alarm limit.
11-12
ECG/RESP Monitoring
For different patient types, the upper/lower limits of the heart rate alarm may vary in
the following range.
Patient type Max. ALM HI Min. ALM LO Increment (beat/min)
Adult 300 15 1
Pediatric 350 15 1
Neonate 350 15 1
NOTE
Always set the alarm limits according to the clinical condition of the
individual patient.
In many cases, the upper limit of heart rate alarms should not exceed 20
beats per minute higher than the patient's heart rate.
HR FROM Heart rate source

Options: ECG, SPO2, AUTO and BOTH
1. ECG: The monitor detects the heart rate through the ECG.
2. SPO2: The monitor detects the heart rate through the SPO2. PULSE is displayed
to the right of the ECG label while the PR (pulse rate) value is displayed below.
The monitor activates pulse beeps instead of heartbeat beeps. Besides, the
monitor gives indications to PR alarms but gives no indication to the HR alarms.
3. AUTO: The monitor determines the heart rate source depending on the signal
quality. The ECG takes priority of the SPO2. The SPO2 is selected as the heart
rate source only if the quality of the ECG signal is too poor to be analyzed. Once
the ECG signal restores to normal situation, it is selected as the heart rate source
again.
4. BOTH: The monitor displays both the HR and the PR values. The later is
displayed at the right of the SPO2 label. The monitor will alarm for both
abnormal HR and PR. HR is given priority in determining the source of the beep
tone. If HR is not available, the sound will be from the PR.
11-13
ECG/RESP Monitoring
NOTE
If SPO2 is selected from the HR FROM options, the volume of PITCH

TONE will be determined by the PR SOUND setting in the SPO2 SETUP
menu. If other HR FROM option is selected, the volume of PITCH TONE
will be determined by the BEAT VOL (beat volume) setting. For details
about PITCH TONE, see 12 SpO2 Monitoring.
HR CHANNEL CH1: The heart rate is determined by the first ECG

waveform;
CH2: The heart rate is determined by the second ECG
waveform;
AUTO: The monitor automatically selects a proper channel
to calculate the heart rate.

ECG/RESP Monitoring
In this menu, you can perform the following settings.

ECG DISPLAY ECG display mode
Three options are available:
1. NORMAL DISPLAY: The monitor displays two ECG waveforms when the
5-lead set is used or one ECG waveform when the 3-lead set is used.
2. MULTI-LEADS DISPLAY: The monitor displays six ECG waveforms, which
occupies the whole waveforms area.
3. HALF-SCN MULTI-LEADS: The monitor displays six ECG waveforms, which
only occupies four waveform positions.
NOTE
If 3 LEADS is selected from the LEAD TYPE options, only NORMAL

DISPLAY can be selected for the ECG DISPLAY.
BEAT VOL Beat volume

Range : 0-10. 0 indicates disabled and 10 indicates the
maximum volume.
PACE ON: When ON is selected, a detected pacemaker signal is
︱
indicated by a " " symbol above the ECG waveform.
OFF: When OFF is selected, the pacemaker analysis is
disabled.
PACE DETECT Pace detection
Options: MODE1 and MODE2
1. MODE1: In this mode, the function of pacemaker pulse rejection with overshoot
is enabled.
2. MODE2: In this mode, the function of pacemaker pulse rejection with overshoot
is disabled.
A pacemaker may produce an overshoot signal after the pacemaker pulse, which
probably causes false R-wave detection. For this reason, the function of pacemaker
pulse rejection with overshoot should be enabled in the calculation. If this function
is enabled for a pacemaker without overshoot signals, the R-wave detection might
be omitted. Hence, the doctor should choose the PACE DETECT mode carefully
according to the pacemaker type.
The PACE DETECT option is active only if PACE is turned ON. When PACE is
turned OFF, the PACE DETECT is switched to MODE1 automatically. In this
situation, you cannot adjust the PACE DETECT as desired. When PACE is turned
ON, you can choose from the PACE DETECT options.
11-15
ECG/RESP Monitoring
NOTE
When monitoring a patient with a pacemaker, PACE must be turned ON.

Otherwise, the system will count the pacemaker pulse as QRS complex.
Do not completely depend on the alarms of heart rate. The patient with a
pacemaker must be nearly monitored.
When PACE is turned ON, the system will neither detect the arrhythmia
relating to premature ventricular beats (including PVCs counting) nor
perform the ST analysis. When monitoring a patient without a
pacemaker, PACE should be turned OFF.
The mode of PACE DETECT cannot be saved after the monitor is turned
off or be saved as the factory or the user default configuration. When the
monitor is started, restarted or when the factory or user default
configuration is selected, PACE DETECT returns to MODE1.
The PACE tag can be printed in the real-time recording when PACE is
turned ON.
NOTCH Determines whether filter or not.

ON: The monitor protects the signals from the noise
generated by the power line.
OFF: No filtering.
During the real-time recording, the NOTCH on/off status
and the frequency will be recorded.
NOTE
If the filter method of the ECG waveform is set to a non-diagnostic mode,

only the NOTCH option ON is active and the monitor filters the signals of
the power line frequency; if the filter method is set to the diagnostic
mode, two NOTCH options, both ON and OFF, are active, and the system
sets the NOTCH to OFF automatically.
CASCADE ECG cascade

ON: The monitor displays the waveform of each channel in
two lines.
OFF: The monitor displays the waveform of each channel
in one line.

11.6 RESP Monitoring
11.6.1 Overview
Respiration is detected by measuring thoracic impedance. The monitor measures the

change of the impedanec between the RA and LA electrodes of the ECG lead I, or
the RA and LL electrodes of the ECG lead II, and produces a respiration waveform
as shown below.
1 2 3 4 5

2. RESP lead: I or II
3. Waveform gain: 7 options are available: ×0.25, ×0.5, ×1, ×2, ×3, ×4, ×5. If the
gain is too large, the upper part of the waveform may not be normally displayed.
4. RESP label: Selecting this label, you can open the RESP SETUP menu.
5. RR: Respiration rate numerics.
NOTE
Respiration monitoring is not recommended on patients who are very

active, as this will cause false alarms.
It is recommended to set Waveform gain to 1 when external

electromagnetic interference is great.
11-28
ECG/RESP Monitoring
11.6.2 Electrode Placement
Since the same electrodes are used for ECG and respiration monitoring, the
electrode placement is very important. Some patients, due to their clinical condition,
expand their chest laterally, causing a negative intrathoracic pressure. In these cases
it is better to place the two electrodes used for respiration monitoring laterally in the
right axillary and left lateral chest areas, at the maximum point of the breathing
movement, to optimize the respiratory waveform.
NOTE
Please select the ECG cable with no resistance for RESP monitoring.
To optimize the respiration waveform, place the RA and LA electrodes

horizontally when the ECG Lead I is selected, and place the RA and LL
electrodes diagonally when the ECG lead II is selected.
Try to avoid placing the electrodes so the liver area and the ventricles of
the heart are in path between the electrodes used for respiration, to
avoid cardiac artifact to overlay on the ECG. This is particularly
important when monitoring neonate patients.

SpO2 Monitoring
12.1 Overview
The monitor measures the patients’ SpO2 (oxygen saturation) and displays:
1. Pulse rate (PR) value in the ECG or SpO2 parameter window.
2. PLETH waveform in the waveforms area.
3. Oxygen saturation (SpO2%) value in the SpO2 parameter window.
The PR value is displayed in the ECG parameter window only if:

1. SpO2 is selected from the HR FROM options in the ECG SETUP menu; or
2. AUTO is selected from the HR FROM options in the ECG SETUP menu and no
ECG signal is received.
For details, see 11.3 ECG Setup Menu.
As the following figure shows, the PLETH waveform is located on the left while the
SpO2 parameter window on the right. The SpO2 value is displayed by percentage
and is followed by a perfusion indicator (pro rata with the pulse intensity). Besides,
the SpO2 label at the upper left corner of the parameter window allows you to access
the SpO2 SETUP menu.

PITCH TONE
The PITCH TONE function refers to the monitor’s capability to vary the pitch of the
heart rate tone or pulse rate tone with the change of the SpO2 reading. This monitor
provides 22 pitch levels. The pitch rises as the SpO2 reading increases toward 100%
and falls as it decreases. Although the tone pitch cannot be adjusted manually, the
tone volume can be adjusted by one of the following two ways, depending on the
setting of the HR FROM item in the ECG SETUP menu:
If the HR FROM is set to SPO2, you can adjust the PITCH TONE volume by
12-2
SpO2 Monitoring
changing the setting of the PR SOUND item in the SPO2 SETUP menu;
In case of other settings, you can adjust the PITCH TONE volume by changing
the setting of the BEAT VOL item in the ECG SETUP menu.
If the PR SOUND or BEAT VOL is set to 0, the PITCH TONE function will be
muted; if the SpO2 module is disabled, the PITCH TONE function will be disabled
as well.
This monitor can be equipped with any of the following SpO2 modules:
Mindray SpO2 module
Masimo SpO2 module
Nellcor SpO2 module
A monitor, equipped with a Masimo or Nellcor SpO2 module, is marked by

"Masimo" or "Nellcor" at the lower left corner of the front panel. The following
pages respectively gives introduction to the above three SpO2 modules. Please read
according to your monitor configuration before operation.
NOTE
SpO2 and SPO2 are used interchangeably in this chapter.
12-3
SpO2 Monitoring
12.2 Mindray SpO2 Module
NOTE
This section is only applicable to the monitor equipped with a Mindray

SpO2 module.
12.2.1 Principles of Operation
SpO2 monitoring is a non-invasive technique used to measure the amount of

oxygenated haemoglobin and pulse rate by measuring the absorption of selected
wavelengths of light. The light generated in the probe passes through the tissue and
is converted into electrical signals by the photodetector in the probe. The SpO2
module processes the electrical signal and displays on the screen a waveform and
digital values for SpO2 and pulse rate.
The sensor measurement wavelengths are nominally 660nm for the red LED and
940nm for infrared LED. The maximum optical power output for LED is 4mW.
12-4
SpO2 Monitoring
12.2.2 Precautions
WARNING
The SpO2 value might be overestimated in the presence of Hb-CO,

Met-Hb or dye dilution chemicals.
Check if the sensor cable is in normal condition before monitoring. Do

not use the SpO2 sensor once the package or the sensor is found
damaged.
Verify sensor cable fault detection before beginning monitoring. Unplug

the SpO2 sensor cable from the connector. The screen will display the
prompt information “SPO2 SENSOR OFF” and the audible alarm is
activated.
ES (Electrosurgery) equipment wire and SpO2 cable must not be tangled

up.
Do not put the SpO2 sensor on the limb with arterial catheter or venous
syringe.
Do not perform SpO2 and NIBP measurements on the same limb

simultaneously. Obstruction of blood flow during NIBP measurements
may adversely affect the reading of the SpO2 value.
Prolonged and continuous monitoring may increase the risk of burns at

the site of the sensor. It is especially important to check the sensor
placement, and ensure proper attachment on neonates and patients of
poor perfusion or skin sensitive to light. Check the sensor location every
2–3 hours and move to another location if the skin deteriorates. More
frequent examinations may be required for different patients.
12-5
SpO2 Monitoring
12.2.3 Monitoring Procedure
Sensor selection for SpO2 measurement depends on the patient type. For an adult
patient, you can choose a finger SpO2 sensor; for an infant patient, you can choose a
hand or toe sensor. Refer to the following procedure.
1. Power on the monitor.
2. Attach the sensor to the proper site on the patient.
3. Plug the connector of the sensor extension cable into the SpO2 connector on
monitor.
12.2.3.1 Finger Sensor Placement
You can easily place the finger sensor as shown below.
Figure 12-2 Finger Sensor Placement
NOTE
Place the SpO2 sensor cable at the backside of the patient hand. Make
sure the fingernail is just opposite to the light emitted from the sensor.
12.2.3.2 Neonate Sensor Placement
Neonate SpO2 sensor consists of a Y-shape SpO2 sensor and its sheath. Insert t he
LED and PD ends of the Y-shape SpO2 sensor respectively into the upper and lower
grooves on the sheath (Figure 12-3). The Figure 12-4 shows us the neonate SpO2
sensor after insertion.
12-6
SpO2 Monitoring
Y-shape sensor Neonate sensor sheath
Figure 12-3 Neonate Sensor Placement (1)
Wind the SpO2 sensor around a hand or foot of a neonate patient. Hold the sensor,
pull the belt and fit one of its sides with “V” edge into the “V” groove on the
corresponding side of the sheath. Appropriately elongate the belt to about 20mm,
and fit the “V” edge of the other side of the belt into the “V” groove of the other side
of the sheath. Then, loosen the belt. After the “V” edges of the two sides of the belt
fit well into the “V” grooves on the two sides of the sheath, put the belt into the first
lock bar to fasten the belt. See Figure 12-5. If the belt is too long, you may put it into
the second lock bar. You must position the SpO2 sensor in this way so as to make the
photoelectric component face the correct position. Besides, note not to elongate the
belt too much, which may lead to inaccurate measurement and block the blood
circulation severely.
12-7
SpO2 Monitoring
NOTE
If the sensor cannot be positioned accurately to the part to be measured,

it may result in inaccurate SpO2 reading, or the SpO2 even cannot be
measured because no pulse is detected. In this case, you must position
the sensor again.
The excessive patient movement may result in inaccurate reading. In

this situation, you must keep the patient quiet or change the measured
position to reduce the adverse influence of excessive movement.
WARNING
In the process of extended and continuous monitoring, you should

check the peripheral circulation and the skin every 2 hours. If any
unfavorable change takes place, you should change the measured
position in time.
In the process of extended and continuous monitoring, you should

periodically check the position of the sensor. In case that the position of
the sensor moves during monitoring, the measurement accuracy may be
affected.
12.2.4 Measurement Limitations
If the accuracy of any measurement does not seem reasonable, first check the
patient’s vital signs by an alternate method. Then check the instrument for proper
function. Inaccurate measurements may be caused by:
Improper SpO2 sensor;
High-frequency electrical noise, including noise created by the host system, or
noise from external sources, such as electrosurgical apparatus connected to the
system;
Oximeters and oximetry sensors used during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
scanning. Induced current could potentially cause burns;
Intravascular dye injections;
Excessive patient motion;
12-8
SpO2 Monitoring
Excessive ambient light;

Improper sensor installation or incorrect sensor placement on the patient
Sensor temperature (optimal temperature is between 28℃ and 42℃);
The sensor is placed on a limb that is attached to a blood pressure cuff, arterial
catheter, or intravascular line;
Concentration of dysfunctional hemoglobin, such as carboxyhemoglobin and
methemoglobin;
SpO2 too low;
Low circular perfusion of the applied part;
Shock, anemia, low temperature and application of vasomotor all reduce the
arterial blood flow and may affect the pulse oximetry measurement.
The absorption of oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) and deoxyhemoglobin to the light of

special wavelength may also affect SpO2 measurement. If there exist other
substances (like carbon hemoglobin, methemoglobin, methylene blue and indigo
carmine) absorbing the light of the same wavelength, they may result in false or low
SpO2 reading.

SpO2 Monitoring
12.3 Masimo SpO2 Module
NOTE
This section is only applicable to the monitor equipped with a Masimo

SpO2 module.
The pulse oximetry measurement module (Masimo Set, which is called MS-7) is
based on three principles:
Oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin differ in their absorption of red and
infrared light (spectrophotometry).
The volume of arterial blood in tissue and the light absorbed by the blood
changes during the pulse (plethysmography).
Arterio-venous shunting is highly variable, and the fluctuating absorbance by
venous blood is a major component of noise during the pulse.
The working principle of MS-7 uses is similar to the traditional SpO2 module. It
calculates the SpO2 value by passing red and infrared light into a capillary bed and
measuring changes in light absorption during the pulsatile cycle. The red and
infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in oximetry sensors serve as the light sources,
and the photodiode serves as the photodetector.
Traditional pulse oximeter assumes that all pulsations in the light absorbance signal
are caused by oscillations in the arterial blood volume. This assumes that the blood
flow in the region of the sensor passes entirely through the capillary bed rather than
through any arterio-venous shunts. The traditional pulse oximeter calculates the ratio
of pulsatile absorbance (AC) to the mean absorbance (DC) at each of two
wavelengths, 660 nm and 940 nm:
Re d (660) = AC (660) / DC (660)
Ir (940) = AC (940) / DC (940)
This traditional instrument then calculates the ratio of these two arterial pulse-added
12-12
SpO2 Monitoring
absorbance signals:
R = Re d (660) / Ir (940)
This value of R is used to find the SpO2 in a look-up table built into the instrument’s
software. The values in the look-up table are based upon human blood studies
against a laboratory co-oximeter on healthy adult volunteers in induced hypoxia
studies.
This MS-7 assumes that arterio-venous shunting is highly variable and that
fluctuating absorbance by venous blood is the major component of noise during the
pulse. The MS-7 decomposes S(660) and S(940) into an arterial signal plus a noise
component and calculates the ratio of the arterial signals without the noise:
Re d (660) = Sr + Nr
Ir (940) = Si + Ni
R = Sr / Si
Again, R is the ratio of two arterial pulse-added absorbance signals and its value is
used to find the saturation SpO2 in an empirically derived equation into the software.
The values in the empirically derived equation are based upon human blood studies
against a laboratory co-oximeter on healthy adult volunteers in induced hypoxia
studies.
The above equations are combined and a noise reference (N’) is determined:
N ' = Re d (660) − Ir (940) × R
The equation for the noise reference is based on the value of R, the value being
seeked to determine the SpO2. This instrument’s software sweeps through possible
values of R that correspond to SpO2 values between 1% and 100% and generates an
N’ value for each of these R values. The S (660) and S (940) signals are processed
with each possible N’ noise reference through an adaptive correlation canceler (ACC)
which yields an output power for each possible value of R (i.e., each possible SpO2
from 1% to 100%). The result is a Discrete Saturation Transform (DST™) plot of
relative output power versus possible SpO2 value as shown in the following figure
where R corresponds to SpO2 = 97%:

The DST plot has two peaks: the peak corresponding to the higher saturation is
selected as the SpO2 value. This entire sequence is repeated once every two seconds
on the most recent four seconds of raw data. The SpO2 value therefore corresponds
to a running average of arterial hemoglobin saturation that is updated every two
seconds.
12.3.2 Precautions
WARNING
The pulse wave from the MS-7 module must NOT be used for apnea
monitoring.
As a trend towards patient deoxygenation is indicated, blood samples

should be analyzed by a laboratory co-oximeter to completely
understand the patient’s condition.
If an alarm condition (other than exceptions listed herein) occurs in the

Alarms Silenced status, the monitor only gives visual alarm symbols.
Measure the monitor’s leakage current whenever an external device is

connected to the serial port. Leakage current must not exceed 100
microamperes.
To ensure patient electrical isolation, connect only to other equipment

with electronically isolated circuits.
Do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or

dimmer.
Carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient

entanglement or strangulation.
Interfering Substances: Carboxyhemoglobin may erroneously increase

readings. The level of increase is approximately equal to the amount of
carboxyhemoglobin present. Dyes, or any substance containing dyes,
that change usual arterial pigmentation may cause erroneous readings.
Do not use this instrument and the sensors during magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI). Induced current could potentially cause burns. The
monitor may affect the MRI image, and the MRI unit may affect the
accuracy of the oximetry measurements.
The SpO2 value might be overestimated in the presence of Hb-CO,

Met-Hb or dye dilution chemicals.
Verify sensor cable fault detection before beginning monitoring. Unplug

the SpO2 sensor cable from the connector. The screen displays the
prompt information “SPO2 SENSOR OFF” and the audible alarm is
activated.
Do not use the supplied sterile SpO2 sensors if the packaging or the
sensor is damaged. Return them to the distributor or manufacturer.
Do not perform SpO2 and NIBP measurements on the same limb

simultaneously. Obstruction of blood flow during NIBP measurements
may adversely affect the reading of the SpO2 value.

SpO2 Monitoring
12.3.6.1 Selecting a Masimo sensor
When selecting a sensor, consider, the patient’s weight, the adequacy of perfusion,
the available sensor sites, and the duration of monitoring. For more information refer
to the following table or contact Masimo. Use only Masimo sensors and sensor
cables. Select an appropriate sensor, apply as directed, and observe all warnings and
cautions presented in the directions for use accompanying the sensor.
High ambient light sources such as surgical lights (especially those with a xenon
light source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, and direct
sunlight can interfere with the performance of a SpO2 sensor. To prevent interference
from ambient light, ensure that the sensor is properly applied, and cover the sensor
site with dark, opaque material, if required. Failure to take this precaution in high
ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate measurements.
12.3.6.2 Selecting Masimo Sensor Cables
Only use Masimo oximetry patient cables for SpO2 measurements. Other patient
cables may cause improper pulse oximeter performance.
Reusable patient cables of various lengths are available. All cables that marked by
the Masimo SET logo are designed to work with any Masimo LNOP sensor, and
with any pulse oximeter or multi-parameter instrument marked by the Masimo SET
logo.

12.3.6.3 Cleaning and Reusing a Masimo LNOP Sensor
Reusable sensors can be cleaned per the following procedure:

1. Remove the sensor from the patient.
2. Disconnect the sensor from the monitor.
3. Wipe the entire sensor with a 70% isopropyl alcohol pad, and clean with a dry
cloth.
4. Allow the sensor to air-dry before returning it to operation.
This method can be used to clean emitting and receiving parts too. The cables should
be cleaned with a 3% Hydrogen peroxide, a 70% isopropyl alcohol or other
solutions. Keep the cleaning solution away from the sensor connections.
Reattaching a Disposable Adhesive Sensor:

LNOP single use sensors may be reapplied to the same patient if the emitter and
detector windows are clear and the adhesive still adheres to the skin;
The adhesive can be partially rejuvenated by wiping with a 70% isopropyl
alcohol wipe and allowing the sensor to thoroughly air-dry prior to replacement
on the patient.
WARNING
To avoid cross contamination only use Masimo LNOP disposable

sensors on the same patient.
Before cleaning the monitor or the sensor, make sure the equipment is
switched off and disconnected from AC power.
CAUTION
Do not reuse Masimo LNOP disposable sensors.
Do not soak or immerse patient cables in any liquid solution. Do not

sterilize patient cables by irradiation steam or ethylene oxide. See the
cleaning instructions for use for reusable Masimo patient cables.

SpO2 Monitoring
12.4 Nellcor SpO2 Module
NOTE
This section is only applicable to the monitor equipped with a Nellcor

SpO2 module.
Bone, tissue, pigmentation, and venous vessels normally absorb a constant amount
of light over time. The arteriolar bed normally pulsates and absorbs variable
amounts of light during the pulsations. The Nellcor SpO2 module uses pulse
oximetry to measure functional oxygen saturation in the blood. Pulse oximetry
works by applying a sensor to a pulsating arteriolar vascular bed, such as a finger or
toe. The sensor contains a dual light source and a photodetector. The ratio of light
absorbed is translated into a measurement of functional oxygen saturation (SpO2).
Oximetry Overview
Pulse oximetry is based on two principles:
1. Oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin differ in their absorption of red and
infrared light (i.e., spectrophotometry).
2. The volume of arterial blood in tissue (and hence, light absorption by that blood)
changes during the pulse (i.e., plethysmography).
A monitor determines SpO2 by passing red and infrared light into an arteriolar bed
and measuring changes in light absorption during the pulsatile cycle. Red and
infrared low-voltage light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the oximetry sensor serve as
light sources; a photodiode serves as the photo detector.
Because oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin differ in light absorption, the

amount of red and infrared light absorbed by blood is related to hemoglobin oxygen
saturation. To identify the oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin, the monitor uses
the pulsatile nature of arterial flow. During systole, a new pulse of arterial blood
enters the vascular bed, and blood volume and light absorption increase. During
diastole, blood volume and light absorption reach their lowest point. The monitor
bases its SpO2 measurements on the difference between maximum and minimum
12-23
SpO2 Monitoring
absorption (i.e., measurements at systole and diastole). By doing so, it focuses on

light absorption by pulsatile arterial blood, eliminating the effects of nonpulsatile
absorbers such as tissue, bone, and venous blood.
Automatic Calibration
Because light absorption by hemoglobin is wavelength dependent and because the
mean wavelength of LEDs varies, a monitor must know the mean wavelength of the
sensor’s red LED to accurately measure SpO2. During manufacturing, the mean
wavelength of the red LED is encoded in a resistor in the sensor. During monitoring,
the monitor reads this resistor and selects coefficients that are appropriate for the
wavelength of that sensor’s red LED; these coefficients are then used to determine
SpO2.
This resistor is read when the monitor is turned on, periodically thereafter, and each
time a new sensor is connected. Additionally, to compensate for differences in tissue
thickness, the intensity of the sensor’s LEDs is adjusted automatically.
Functional versus Fractional Saturation

This monitor measures functional saturation — oxygenated hemoglobin expressed
as a percentage of the hemoglobin that can transport oxygen. It does not detect
significant amounts of dysfunctional hemoglobin, such as carboxyhemoglobin or
methemoglobin. In contrast, some instruments report fractional saturation —
oxygenated hemoglobin expressed as a percentage of all measured hemoglobin,
including measured dysfunctional hemoglobins. To compare functional saturation
measurements to those from an instrument that measures fractional saturation,
fractional measurements must be converted as follows:
Fractional saturation
Functional saturation = ×100
100 - (%carboxyhemoglobin + %methemoglobin)
Measured versus Calculated Saturation

When saturation is calculated from a blood gas partial pressure of oxygen (PO2), the
calculated value may differ from the SpO2 measurement of a monitor. This usually
occurs because the calculated saturation was not appropriately corrected for the
effects of variables that shift the relationship between PO2 and saturation (Figure
12-8): pH, temperature, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2), 2,3-DPG, and
fetal hemoglobin.

If poor perfusion affects performance, consider using the Oxisensor R-15 sensor; it
obtains measurements from the nasal septal anterior ethmoid artery, an artery
supplied by the internal carotid. This sensor may obtain measurements when
peripheral perfusion is relatively poor. For low peripheral perfusion, consider using
the Nellcor RS-10 sensor, which is applied to the forehead or temple. These are sites
that may be spared during peripheral vasoconstriction.

13.2 Monitoring Procedure
WARNING
You must not perform NIBP measurements on patients with sickle-cell

disease or under any condition in which the skin is damaged or
expected to be damaged.
For a thrombasthemia patient, it is important to determine whether

measurement of the blood pressure shall be done automatically.
Ensure that the setting is correctly made when performing

measurements on children. Incorrect patient type setting may cause a
danger to the patient because adult blood pressure level is higher than
children.
To perform NIBP measurement on a patient, follow the procedure as below

2. Check the patient information area on the screen. If the patient type is incorrect,
select a correct patient type in PATIENT SETUP menu.
3. Plug the air hose in the NIBP cuff connector of the monitor.
4. Apply a cuff of proper size to the upper arm or the leg of the patient.
5. Connect the cuff with the air hose.
6. Press the NIBP key on the control panel to start the NIBP measurement.
13.2.1 Cuff Selection and Placement
1. Identify the patient limb circumference.

2. Select appropriate cuff; limb circumference is identified on each cuff.
3. Verify the cuff is completely deflated; place cuff around extremity being used
and make sure the marking φ matches artery location.
4. Verify the cuff is not wrapped too tightly around the limb. Excessive tightness
may cause discoloration or ischemia of the extremities.
13-3
NIBP Monitoring
5. Make sure that the cuff edge falls within the range of the <-> mark. If it does not,
use a larger or smaller cuff that will fit better.
6. The limb chosen for taking the measurement should be placed at the same level
as the patient's heart. If this is not possible, use the following method to correct
the measurement result:
If the cuff is placed higher than the heart level, add 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for
each centimeter of difference.
If it is placed lower than the heart level, deduct 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each
centimeter of difference.
WARNING
The width of the cuff should be either 40% of the limb circumference
(50% for neonates) or 2/3 of the upper arm length. The inflatable part of
the cuff should be long enough to circle 50-80% of the limb. The wrong
size cuff can cause erroneous readings. If the cuff size is in question,
use a larger cuff.
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.
Make sure the air tubing connecting the blood pressure monitor is not
blocked, twisted, or tangled.
13.2.2 Operation Guides

intervals may incur 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, change the position of the cuff on the patient or stop the
blood pressure measurements immediately.
3. To start a continuous NIBP measurement

Selecting CONTINUAL in NIBP SETUP menu starts a continuous NIBP
measurement. The monitor continues measuring NIBP for five minutes.
4. To stop a NIBP measurement

During an auto, manual or continuous measurement, pressing the NIBP key on the
control panel stops the ongoing measurement.
NOTE
If you are in doubt about the accuracy of any reading(s), check the
patient's vital signs by an alternative method before checking the
function of the monitor.

NIBP Monitoring
13.3 Measurement Limitations
Non-invasive blood pressure measurement uses the oscillometric method of

measurement. The monitor detects the regular arterial pressure pulse. In some
circumstances when the patient's condition makes it difficult to detect this pulse, the
measurement becomes unreliable and the measurement time increases. You should
be aware that the following conditions could interfere with the measurement, make
the measurement unreliable, prolong the measurement, or even make a measurement
impossible.
Patient Movement
E.g.The patient is moving, shivering, or having convulsions.
Cardiac Arrhythmia’s
E.g. The patient's cardiac arrhythmia has caused an irregular heartbeat.
Heart-lung Machine
E.g. Measurements will be impossible if the patient is connected to a heart-lung
machine.
Pressure Changes
E.g.The patient's blood pressure is changing rapidly over the period of time during
which the arterial pressure pulses are being analyzed to obtain the measurement.
Severe Shock
E.g. If the patient is in severe shock or hypothermia, reduced blood flow to the
peripheries will cause reduced pulsation of the arteries.
Heart Rate Extremes

The monitor is unable to perform pressure measurements at a heart rate of less than
40 bpm and greater than 240 bpm.

If you select the CALIBRATE option, the monitor starts the NIBP calibration and
the CALIBRATE option changes to STOP CAL. Selecting the option again stops the
calibration.
Calibrate the cuff pressure reading with a calibrated reference manometer (or
mercury manometer) with accuracy higher than 1mmHg. To perform the calibration,
follow the procedure shown below:
1. Remove the blood pressure cuff from the monitor and replace it with a rigid
metal container or vessel with a capacity of 500 ml ± 5%.
2. Connect a calibrated reference manometer (with an error less than 1 mmHg) and
a ball pump using “T” connectors as shown below.
3. Select the CALIBRATE option.
4. Inflate the metal container using the ball pump until the reference manometer
reads 0, then 50, and finally 200 mmHg.
5. The difference between the indicated pressure of the reference manometer and
the indicated pressure of the monitor will not exceed 3 mmHg. Contact our
Customer Service if these values are not met.

3. Select the PNEUMATIC option, and the information “Pneum testing…” is

displayed at the lower left corner of the NIBP parameter window.
4. After approximately 20 seconds, the monitor will automatically open the deflate
valve, ending the test.
5. If no information appears on the bottom of the NIBP parameter area, it indicates
the airway is in good condition and an air leak does not exist. However if the
information “PNEUMATIC LEAK” appears, it indicates the airway may have
an air leak. In this case, check for loose connections. After confirming all
connections are secure, perform the test again.
If there is still a failure, contact our Customer Service.
NOTE
Set PAT TYPE to ADU in the PATIENT SETUP menu before leakage test.
The pneumatic test, other than being specified in the EN 1060-1

standard, is to be used to simply determine whether there are air leaks in
the NIBP airway.

14.2 Measurement Procedure
To measure the temperature of a patient,

1. If a disposable temperature probe is used, plug the temperature probe cable in
the temperature probe connector on the side panel of the monitor, and then
connect the temperature probe with the cable; if a reusable temperature probe is
used, connect the temperature probe with the temperature probe connector
directly.
2. Attach the temperature probe to the patient properly.
NOTE
Disposable temperature probes are for single patient use only.
The self-test of the temperature measurement is performed once per

hour during monitoring. This self-test lasts about 2 seconds and does
not affect the normal measurement of temperature.
WARNING
Verify probe cable fault detection before beginning monitoring. Unplug

the temperature probe cable of channel 1 or channel 2 from the
connector on the monitor. The monitor will display the prompt
information “T1 SENSOR OFF” or “T2 SENSOR OFF” and an audible
alarm is activated. The other channel is the same.
Be careful to avoid damaging the temperature probe and cable. When

the temperature probe and cable are not in use, shape them into a loose
round. If the cable is tangled too tightly or over-bent, mechanical
damage may occur.
The calibration of the temperature measurement function is required

every two years (or as dictated by your Hospital Procedures Policy). If
you need to calibrate the temperature measurement function, contact
our Customer Service.

15.2 Precautions
WARNING
Use only the IBP transducer specified in this operation manual.

Disposable IBP transducers or domes should not be reused.
Parts and accessories used must meet the safety requirements of the
medical electrical equipment standards.
Do not contact the metal part connected to the electrical appliance when
connecting or using the accessory.
When the monitor is used with high frequency surgical equipment, do

not allow the transducer and the cable contact the high frequency
surgical equipment to prevent the patient from burning caused by
leakage current.
Verify transducer cable fault detection before beginning to monitor.

Unplug the transducer cable from the IBP connector on the monitor. The
screen will display the error message “IBP SENSOR OFF” and an
audible alarm will be heard.
The transducer (except for the ICT/B transducer) specified in this operation manual
is able to protect against electrical shock, especially the leakage current, and the
interference of cardiac defibrillation. It can be used in surgical operation. During
defibrillation, the pressure waveform might become temporarily distorted. However,
the monitor returns to normal operation after the defibrillation, with the operation
mode and the user configuration being unaffected.
NOTE
Periodically calibrate the transducer according to the Hospital

Regulation.

IBP Monitoring
WARNING
Before cleaning the transducer, make sure the transducer is

disconnected from the monitor, or the monitor is powered off and
disconnected from AC power.
Cleaning of IBP Transducer
After the IBP monitoring operation is completed, remove the tubing and the dome
from the transducer and wipe the transducer diaphragm with water. To clean the
transducer and the cable, soak or wipe them using soap or the detergents listed
below:
Cetylcide
Wavicide-01
Wescodyne
Cidex
Lysol
Vesphene
Do not immerse the connector in any liquid. After cleaning, dry the transducer
thoroughly before storing. Slight discoloration or temporary increase of surface
stickiness of the cable should not be considered abnormal. If it is necessary to
remove the adhesive tape residue from the transducer cable, the double seal tape
remover is recommended; use the remover with special caution to minimize the
damage to the cable. Acetone, Alcohol, Ammonia and Chloroform, or other strong
solvents are not recommended because they are harmful to the vinyl cabling if used
for a long time.
NOTE
The disposable transducers or domes must not be reused.
To avoid contamination, the disposable transducers or domes must be

reclaimed or disposed of properly.
15-14
IBP Monitoring
Sterilization
Chemical Solution Sterilization

After finishing the cleaning, select an effective sterilant for chemical solution
sterilization of the operating room equipment. Buffered glutaraldehyde (e.g. Cidex
or Hospisept) is recommended. Do not use quaternary cationic detergents such as
zephiran chloride. If the whole unit is to be sterilized, immerse the transducer but
not the electrical connector into the sterilant for the recommended sterilizing period.
Ensure that the dome has been removed. Then rinse all transducer parts except the
electrical connector with sterilized water or saline. The transducer must be
thoroughly dried before storing.
Gas Sterilization
For more complete asepsis, use gas sterilization. The transducer should be
completely dry after cleaning. When ethylene oxide gas is used as the gas
disinfectant, follow the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of the
gas disinfectant.
NOTE
The disinfectant temperature must not exceed 70°C (158°F). Plastics in

the pressure transducer may deform or melt above this temperature.

15.6 ICP Transducer ICT/B
15.6.1 Introduction
The ICT/B is one of catheter tip transducers manufactured by Gaeltec. It is designed

for measuring intracranial pressure by the epidural method. It features quite a few
advantages, like ease-to-use and excellent frequency response without artifacts.
The ICT/B has an atmospheric reference pressure channel that connects the back of
the sensing area to the ambient air pressure via the luer fitting on the connector. All
measurements are the difference value compared with ambient air pressure.

Figure 15-13 ICT/B Transducer
A significant feature of the ICT/B is the ability to check the zero drift of the ICT/B
and pressure monitor in-vivo. Not only does this allow accurate measurements, but
also allow the moving of the patient with the ICT/B in the epidural space and easy
reconnection to another monitor.
There is a flat silicone rubber membrane, or balloon, covering the pressure sensing
diaphragm. Two internal tubes connect the two sides of the diaphragm to a female
luer fitting on the connector shell. By introducing approximately 0.2 to 0.3ml of air
from a 1ml syringe the pressure in these tubes will be greater than the ICP being
measured. The exact amount of air is not critical if only it does not exceed the
permitted maximum. When this air is injected, the pressure will cause the balloon to
be lifted from the surface of the sensor and the same pressure will be applied to the
back of the sensor. The strain gauge senses equal pressure above and below which is
equivalent to having zero pressure applied. Thus by injecting a small volume of air,
one undeflects the pressure sensor and checks the zero of the transducer and
amplifier.
15-16
IBP Monitoring
15.6.2 Precautions
NOTE
The ICT/B pressure transducer is specially designed to be used by

trained professional physicians. Operation on the transducer is
restricted to the well-trained physicians only.
The monitor using the ICT/B pressure transducer must meet the current
safety standards of the country, where the monitor is or is to be used,
and should be able to work with the strain gauge pressure transducer.
The monitor must provide electrical isolation from the transducer and
any electrical equipment to which the monitor is connected.
Carefully check for cuts on the silicone of the catheter and sensor tip
before use.
When placing the ICT/B transducer, the burr hole edges must be
rounded and the bone chips must be removed, so as to insert the
catheter into the epidural space in an ''S'' bend. The catheter should be
protected in the position of the sutures, to avoid any damage to the
catheter when pulling sutures tight. When removing the catheter, special
caution should be taken to avoid damaging the device while cutting
sutures. Slowly pull the catheter to remove the ICT/B transducer.
CAUTION
Do not use haemostats or forceps that might damage the device.
Do not press with thumb and forefinger on the tip of the ICT/B.
Enormous pressures will be generated and the device will be subject to
possible damage. To see if the ICT/B is operating normally, gently touch
the sensor tip.
WARNING
Disconnect the catheter from the monitor before defibrillation or

electrosurgery.
Do not plug the female luer on the proximal end of the catheter during
ethylene oxide sterilization. Otherwise, damage to the transducer may
be caused.
15-17
IBP Monitoring
Do not immerse or soak the electrical connector end in any fluid or

liquid.
15.6.3 Calibration and Zeroing
Calibration
The ICT/B is supplied with a minimal zero offset and the sensitivity is set at 5
uV/V/mmHg. To ensure accurate settings of the amplifier and recorder, the controls
should be zeroed at ambient pressure and then calibrated at a known pressure. For
instance, use the calibration tube, syringe and manometer, or immerse it into a
known depth of water column and then set the gain of the system to the required
level. The procedure above should be performed once again to verify the zero
baseline does not changed due to the gain change.
Tighten the collet on the calibration tube over the sliding calibration sleeve to seal
the ICT/B catheter. Use a male luer fitting to form a connection to a reference
pressure, such as a syringe and manometer. The output of the transducer and
amplifier system can be reliably and quickly confirmed.
Manometer
Monitor
Syringe Use a 1ml syringe to inflate the balloon for

zero check. Luer fitting must be open to
ambient pressure during normal operation
Calibration tube
Figure 15-14 ICT/B Calibration
Zeroing
Checking the Zero when the ICT/B is in the Epidural Space

Using a 1ml syringe, inject approximately 0.3cc of air into the female luer connector
on the proximal end of the ICT/B. Leave the syringe attached and note the value on
the pressure monitor or scope. The ICP will decrease to zero or a value very close to
it. If the monitor/transducer combination has drifted from zero, reset the zero control
15-18
IBP Monitoring
to zero value on the meter. Remove the syringe and the monitor will immediately
begin to measure intracranial pressure.
CAUTION
The total volume of air injected from a 1ml syringe to check the zero
must not exceed 0.5ml. Otherwise, the membrane over the sensor might
be ruptured.
Connecting to a new monitor when the ICT/B is in the Epidural Space

1. Set correct pressure range on monitor.
2. Inject 0.3cc air from a 1ml syringe.
3. Adjust the monitor for zero reading.
4. If applicable, continue injecting air and set the calibration number on the
monitor.
5. Remove the syringe and the ICP is displayed immediately.
Before clinical application, it is recommended to connect the ICT/B with the

monitor and practice operating the equipment to familiarize the operation. Set up the
monitor and the ICT/B as already described. Use either a water column or the
calibration tube to apply a known pressure of from 10–25mmHg to the ICT/B.
Note that a 13.6cm water column is equivalent to 10mmHg.
With the known pressure applied to the ICT/B, inject approximately 0.3cc air into
the female luer using a 1ml syringe. Note that the monitor does not reach zero
immediately. When the ICT/B moves rapidly up and down in a water column, the
pressure waveform changes instantly. The ICT/B has a high frequency response.
Thus you will see excellent pressure waveform in actual operation. It also reflects
that the exact amount of air injected for zeroing is insignificant.
NOTE
Always leave the luer fitting open to the ambient pressure during
measurement.

15.6.4 Application of ICT/B
NOTE
ICT/B transducer must be used under supervision of qualified physician.
The ICT/B is intended for the measurement of epidural pressures. It can measure
positive pressures only. Thus, it is not recommended to measure intraventricular
pressures. The ICT/B may be applied using a variety of surgical techniques.
Therefore, surgeons are advised to choose the best way according to their knowledge
and experience.
Method 1
The ICT/B can be inserted during surgery through a burr hole. The pressure sensor
of the transducer should be placed facing the dura and under the cranium. The
transducer is marked by 2.5cm scale on its back. Thus the scale is visible if the
sensor is placed correctly. The placement site should be away from any craniotomy
flap. A contralateral burr hole is recommended.
To protect the catheter, use thick sutures and put tape around the catheter before suturing.
Remove all bone chips. Use bone wax.
Use of a tunnel is recommended. A

large bore catheter can be inserted
beforehand to guide the sensor tip. Note that smooth edges help to
Remove the bore catheter from the burr prevent from damage to the
hole after the ICT/B has been inserted. catheter.
Strip the dura at least 2cm under the inner table

of the skull. Strip in an arc of at least 180°.
Figure 15-15 Application of ICT/B
15-20
IBP Monitoring
The dura mater should be carefully stripped at least 2cm under the skull and 180° in
arc before insertion. Failure to do this will result in wedging of the pressure sensor
and inaccurate readings. Reseat the transducer tip after a few days since the dura
may rapidly tighten and change its physical characteristics.
If possible, round the bone at the point where the catheter makes its first bend into
the burr hole and round the bone where the catheter makes the second bend under
the cranium. This helps to prevent from tearing the catheter or tip during insertion or
removal. In case of a tear of the catheter, the catheter must be returned to the
manufacturer for repair, incurring a lot of inconveniences.
The catheter is led out through the wound through a drain. It may make sharp bends
without disturbing the operation of the ICT/B. Care should be taken though, to avoid
pinching the catheter by bending onto itself at acute angles for this will seal and
possibly damage the internal lumens required for proper operation.
The catheter should be restrained from moving once the tip is in place. It may be
fixed to the scalp by encircling sutures or with a silicone rubber suture collar
provided by the manufacturer, such as the peritoneal shunt systems. The latter
method is preferred, as it will help prevent from damage to the catheter by sutures or
during removal of sutures.
Method 2
First send the catheter to the burr hole through a tunnel under the skin (a small
incision is made on the skin, and the catheter enters the tunnel from a point distal to
the burr hole). The ICT/B can be guided in the tunnel by a disposable tube, which
can be removed afterwards from the burr hole. This method is preferred from both a
mechanical stability point of view and from the low incidence of infection. The
catheter can later be removed in the manner of a drain and the burr hole incision
sutured.
The physician is urged to examine the ICT/B for physical damage to the silicone
rubber covering anywhere on the tip or catheter before use. In case of any damage,
do not use the catheter and return it to the manufacturer for repair. Proper function
should be verified before insertion into the epidural space, by gently touching the tip
of the transducer and observing a pressure change displayed the monitor. Once the
ICT/B has been inserted into the epidural space, the physician should check the
proper function again, by injecting 0.3cc air for zeroing of the ICT/B. The monitor
should respond correctly as described above.
15-21
IBP Monitoring
Summary
1. When preparing the burr hole, it is required that the hole be rounded at the edges
where the catheter is inserted with an "S" bend into the epidural space.
2. Remove all bone chips
3. A small pledgelet of woven bandage should be placed around the catheter at the
position of sutures. This prevents damages to the catheter when pulling sutures
tight. Otherwise the catheter will be easily cut.
4. Use some bone wax on the edges of bone where the catheter and tip make
contact with bone.
5. When removing the catheter, special attention should be paid to avoid damaging
the device while severing the sutures. Remove the ICT/B by slowly pulling the
catheter.
6. The dura mater should be stripped to give sufficient space so that the tip of the
sensor is inserted easily.
7. Do not use haemostats or forceps that might damage the device. Do not squeeze
the sensor with the thumb and the forefinger.

15.6.5 Maintenance and Cleaning
WARNING
The ICT/B is supplied non-sterile. It must be cleaned and sterilized each

time before use.
Do not autoclave; do not use radiation sterilization or ultrasonic

cleaning.
Do not use the sterilizing cap during ETO gas sterilizing.
Do not use chlorinated hydrocarbons, toluene, or sodium hypochlorite

solution for disinfection.
Right after the catheter is removed from the patient, check the silicone coating for
damage. Use a 1ml syringe to inject 0.5cc air into the luer and immerse the catheter
in water. If small bubbles are seen from any part of the catheter or tip, dry the
catheter by a cloth and sterilize. Then, return to the manufacturer for repair.
Inspect for cuts or damage to silicone coating before immersing it in any liquid.
Avoid getting liquid on the connector pins or inside the connector via the luer fitting.
Wash the catheter with soap solution. Avoid damaging the sensing area. Do not use
synthetic detergents or oil-based soaps as this may result in a foreign body reaction.
Transducers may be cleaned gently with alcohol. But, do not soak it in alcohol. The
cold aqueous solutions of detergicide (e.g. Cidex), formalin or by ethylene oxide gas
can be used for disinfection.
NOTE
It is recommended that each institution establish a sterilization

procedure to specify what products are to be disinfected.
There are only two chemical sterilization techniques recognized by the

U.S. Department of Agriculture as effective and truly sporicidal, gas
sterilization by ethylene oxide and liquid sterilization by a
glutaraldehyde.
15-23
IBP Monitoring
Ethylene oxide (ETO) Disinfection Procedure
1. Unplug the female luer on the proximal connector before the ETO disinfection
cycle. Failure to do this will result in damage to the ICT/B or even disable it.
2. The luer must be open to allow the incoming and the outgoing of ETO gas.
3. Coil the ICT/B and put it in a package filled with ETO. The package shall be
indicated by an approved disinfection mark.
4. Disinfection—The disinfection procedure should be accepted by the hospital
staff responsible for disinfection. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
disinfection.
Use the following as a guide only. According to the hospital regulations on

disinfection, the qualified ETO disinfection parameters are listed below.
Sterilizer make and mode AMSCO Eagle 2000
Prevacuum 15 minutes, 24 inches Hg
Relative humidity 40%
Temperature 140℉
ETO mix 12:88
Gas pressure 8 Pa
Exposure time 1 hour and 45 minutes
Post Vacuum 15 minutes, 24 inches Hg
Aeration Cycle 12 hours
Calculated ETO Concentration 600mg/l
Liquid Disinfection Procedure
To prevent liquids from entering the female luer on the electrical connector, a male
plug may be used. But this plug must be removed during normal use and the ETO
disinfection.
1. Rinse and soak the catheter transducer in the glutaraldehyde solution, following
the instructions provided by manufacturer of the chemical agent. Note that
disinfection is not equivalent to sterilization, and you must refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions to see the effect of the glutaraldehyde solution.
2. Before using the disinfected catheter transducer, rinse with pyrogen-free, sterile
distilled water or saline solution recommended by the disinfectant manufacturer.
15-24
IBP Monitoring
Precautions
The metal sensor is robust and can withstand severe shocks and vibrations. However,
it cannot be recovered if damaged by sharp objects or overpressure, for instance by
squeezing the tip using the forefinger and the thumb.
The silicone coating on the sensing area allows a small amount of water absorption.
But if the water absorption lasts for an hour or more, the baseline may drift several
mmHgs. In this case, put the device in water or saline solution for a few hours to
stabilize before use.
Liquids entering the back of the sensor will cause damage to the sensor. Cutting on
the outer coating should be avoided and repaired immediately once detected. You
may return it to the manufacturer or apply a temporary repair using a suitable
silicone sealant to the damage.
The most common reason for failure of the ICT/B pressure transducer is physical
damage to the device's silicone catheter and/or tip. The cuts are usually caused by
sharp bone chips or edges and are not always visible to the naked eye. If such
damage remains undetected, fluids may enter the device and damage the sensing
parts.

CO2 Monitoring
16.2 Mindray CO2 Module
NOTE
This section is only applicable to a monitor equipped with a Mindray CO2

module.
WARNING
The CO2 module should be protected against crash and vibration.
Our CO2 module is only applicable to pediatric and adult patients, but
not to neonate patients.
Inaccurate measurement may occur when the monitor is operating in an

environment of excessively high CO2 content (>0.5%).
The monitor adopts our sidestream CO2 module. The measurement of this module is
based on the feature that the CO2 molecule absorbs infrared ray. The measurement
procedure is as follows : send the CO2 to a measurement chamber inside the module
through the airway system, and then irradiate 4.26um infrared ray at one side of the
chamber and use the sensor to measure the attenuation degree of the received
infrared ray at the other side. Since the attenuation degree of the infrared ray is
proportional to the concentration of CO2, the CO2 concentration is calculated. The
measured CO2 concentration is thereafter converted into the partial pressure under
the same temperature and pressure, and then displayed.
The relation between the partial pressure and the CO2 concentration is given below:
CO2 partial pressure (mmHg)=
CO2 concentration (%)×Pamp (ambient pressure, mmHg)/100
CO2 partial pressure (kPa)= CO2 partial pressure (mmHg)/7.5

CO2 Monitoring
16.2.2 Preparations for CO2 Measurement
1. Plug the water trap into its receptacle before the measurement.
2. Open the CO2 SETUP menu and set WORK MODE to MEASURE. The “CO2
START UP” prompt information is displayed on the screen until the startup is
finished.
3. After the module start-up, the “CO2 WARM UP” prompt information is
displayed on the screen. At this time, the module is in the Warming–up status.
4. After the module warm-up, the module enters the Ready-to-measure status.
When the monitor is powered on for the first time, the CO2 module enters the
STANDBY mode by default. To activate the CO2 module, you must change the work
mode to MEASURE. The work mode of the CO2 module keeps unchanged when the
monitor is restarted. For instance, if the monitor is power off when the CO2 module
is working in the MEASURE mode, the CO2 module will automatically enter the
MEASURE mode after the monitor is restarted. For details about WORK MODE,
please refer to the section Other Setup in 16.2.3 CO2 Setup Menu.
Figure 16-2 CO2 Module Airway Connections
The measure CO2 concentration can be displayed in two units:

ATPD (Ambient Temperature and Pressure, Dry Gas);
BTPS (Body temperature and pressure, Saturated);
The CO2 concentration is displayed in ATPD by default. ATPD means the CO2 value
is measured in ambient temperature and pressure and dry gas, while BTPS means
the CO2 is measured at a temperature of 37℃, a relative humidity of 95% and a
47mmHg (pH2O) partial pressure of moisture.
16-4
CO2 Monitoring
The calculation formulas in the above two units are as follows:

ATPD: PCO2 (mmHg)= CO2 (vol%)× Pamp/100
BTPS: PCO2 (mmHg)= CO2 (vol%)×(Pamp-47)/100
In the above formulas, PCO2 refers to the CO2 partial pressure, vol% is the
percentage of the gas concentration, and Pamp is the ambient pressure in the unit of
mmHg.
WARNING
Do not use the accessory if the packaging or the internal accessory is

damaged. Return it to the manufacturer.
“CO2 START UP” and “CO2 WARM UP” displayed on the screen indicate
that the sensor is starting up and warming up. During the warming up,
the module can measure CO2, but the measurement is not standard.
After the above information disappears, the standard measurement can
be performed.
The sidestream sampling line is disposable. It should not be disinfected

for reuse or cross-used by different patients.
The water trap is used to collect water drops condensed in the sampling
airway and prevent water drops from entering the module. When the
collected water reaches to a certain amount, remove the water to avoid
blocking the airway.
In the long-term use, dust or other substances may lower the air
permeability of the filter material in the water trap and may block the
airway. In this situation, the water trap must be replaced.

NOTE
Set the N2O COMPEN, O2 COMPEN and Des COMPEN according to the

When BTPS is turned ON, the system performs BTPS compensation automatically;
when BTPS is turned OFF, the BTPS compensation is disabled.
When measuring the CO2 content inside the patient’s lung, turn ON BTPS. Normally,
the lung temperature of the patient is 37℃ and the water vapor is sufficient or
regarded as saturated. But the temperature and water vapor content of the sampling
line are different from the patient’s exhalation. Thus, when the patient’s exhalation
passes the sampling line, the accuracy of the CO2 concentration measured by the
sensor will be adversely affected. To ensure an accurate measurement, you should
turn ON the BTPS. In this mode, the system adjusts the calculation coefficient
automatically, so that the measured value is just the actual CO2 content in the
patient’s lung.
When measuring the CO2 content of the environment or a certain vessel, turn OFF
BTPS. In the standard ambient pressure and dry gas, the accuracy of the sensor
measurement is not affected.
NOTE
When measuring a moist gas of saturated water vapor at the body

temperature and the ambient pressure, turn ON BTPS; when measuring
a dry gas at the ambient temperature and pressure, turn OFF BTPS.

In case of an exception in the sampling system of the CO2 module, check for
entanglement of the sampling line. If the sampling line is not entangled, remove
it from the water trap. In this situation, if the screen displays a prompt
information indicating the CO2 sampling line is abnormal, the water trap must
have been blocked, and you must replace it with a new one. If no prompt
information is given, the sampling line must have been blocked, and you should
replace with a new sampling line.
Routine calibration of the sidestream CO2 module is not required. But the
calibration must be performed every year, or when great inaccuracy of
measurement is found.

delay, the monitor triggers an alarm and gives the “CO2
APNEA” alarm message.
Options: 10S, 15S, 20S, 25S, 30S, 35S and 40S.
Options: 6.25, 12.5 and 25.0.
Unit: mm/s.
UNIT Options: mmHg, kPa And %.
WAVE SCALE Options: HIGH and LOW.

This option allows you to adjust the amplitude of the CO2
waveform.
WORK MODE Options: MEASURE and STANDBY.
To start the CO2 monitoring, select the MEASURE mode.
In the STANDBY mode, the air pump and infrared ray
source of the CO2 module are disabled. Hence, decreases
the power consumption and prolongs the operating life of
infrared ray source and the whole CO2 module.
NOTE
When the CO2 monitoring is not required, it is recommended the work

mode be set to STANDBY.

CO2 Monitoring
Other Setup
Selecting OTHER SETUP option opens the following menu.
Figure 16-9 CO2 Other Setup
MAX HOLD Maximum holding time

It determines the maximum holding time of the CO2
parameters.
Options: OFF, 10S, 20S and 30S.
BTPS Body temperature and pressure, Saturated
When BTPS is turned ON, the system performs BTPS compensation automatically;
when BTPS is turned OFF, the BTPS compensation is disabled.
When measuring the CO2 content inside the patient’s lung, turn ON BTPS. Normally,
the lung temperature of the patient is 37℃ and the water vapor is sufficient or
regarded as saturated. But the temperature and water vapor content of the sampling
line are different from the patient’s exhalation. Thus, when the patient’s exhalation
passes the sampling line, the accuracy of the CO2 concentration measured by the
sensor will be adversely affected. To ensure an accurate measurement, you should
turn ON the BTPS. In this mode, the system adjusts the calculation coefficient
automatically, so that the measured value is just the actual CO2 content in the
patient’s lung.
When measuring the CO2 content of the environment or a certain vessel, turn OFF
BTPS. In the standard ambient pressure and dry gas, the accuracy of the sensor
measurement is not affected.
16-17
CO2 Monitoring
NOTE
When measuring a moist gas of saturated water vapor at the body

temperature and the ambient pressure, turn ON BTPS; when measuring
a dry gas at the ambient temperature and pressure, turn OFF BTPS.
AUTO Range: 0–60min.

STANDBY If no respiration waveform is detected in the selected time,
the CO2 module enters the standby mode automatically.
When AUTO STANDBY is set to 0min, it means the CO2
module is in MEASURE state. If the sampling line is not
connected, the CO2 module enters the standby mode
automatically 3 minutes later.
ZERO CAL This option allows you to zero manually so as to eliminate
the adverse affect of baseline drift in the process of
measurement.
DEFAULT >> Select DEFAULT >> to access the CO2 DEFAULT
finishing the selection and exiting the menu, a dialog pops
up asking for confirmation of your selection.

menu appears.
Figure 16-10 CO2 User Maintain Menu
The following information is displayed in the menu above.

CO2 The currently measured CO2 content.
Unit: %.
In the field at the right of the CO2 value, you can select a standard gas containing a
certain amount of CO2 for calibration.
BAROMETRIC The currently measured barometric pressure.
Unit: mmHg.
CONFIRM CAL This option allows you to confirm the calibration of the CO2
module.

Figure 16-11 Connections for Calibration
3. Fill the gas bottle with a standard gas of certain CO2 content (4% to 6%), and
input the gas to the monitor.
4. Open the CO2 USER MAINTAIN menu, and set the CO2 field to a value, which
is the same with the CO2 content of the gas bottle.
5. When the CO2 USER MAINTAIN menu displays the currently measured CO2
content, wait until a stable reading is indicated, and then select the CONFIRM
CAL option to start calibrating the CO2 module.
6. If the calibration succeeds, “CALIBRATE SUCCESS!” will be displayed in the
CO2 USER MAINTAIN menu. If fails, “CAL FAIL, TRY AGAIN!” will be
displayed, and re-calibration is required.
7. Select the EXIT option to exit the CO2 USER MAINTAIN menu.

CO2 Monitoring
The sampling line of the micorstream CO2 module is disposable and cannot be
disinfected for reuse.
Routine calibration of the microstream CO2 module is not required. But the
calibration must be performed if it is prompted in the CO2 USER MATINTAIN
menu, or great inaccuracy of measurement is found.
