2030046-006 Patient Data Module 19


Module introduction

Data Acquisition System board


The Data Acquisition System board, referred to as DAS, consists of two independent
patient parameter acquisition subsystems. The first subsystem, referred to as the
Main DAS, provides interfaces to one pulse oximetry transducer, four invasive pressure
transducers, one non-invasive blood pressure transducer, and either two temperature
transducers or one thermal dilution cardiac output transducer.
The second subsystem, referred to as the ECG DAS, provides interfaces to ten ECG
electrodes. It also supports the measurement of impedance-based respiration from
up to three differential pairs of ECG electrodes and the detection of pacemaker activity
from up to three differential pairs of ECG electrodes for the purpose of pacemaker
identification. The ECG and respiration circuitry is electrically isolated from all the
other parameters. Each isolated parameter section contains a processing unit and
a serial communication unit. Communications are implemented through a custom
serial communication link.

Internal main components


The PDM contains a main processor board, NIBP assembly with tubing, and Data
Acquisition System.

The PDM shares power and communicates with host devices through the host
interface connection called the ePort. The PDM connects directly to a transport
monitor through a docking station. The PDM connects to the bedside host patient
monitor through the bedside docking station and an ePort host interface cable. The
PDM can connect to the bedside host patient monitor with just an ePort host interface
cable without the docking station.

20 Patient Data Module 2030046-006


Module introduction

ePort host interface cable


The ePort host interface cable provides external power and communication between
the PDM and a monitor.

PDM battery
The PDM is designed to operate on battery power when used with a transport monitor
or whenever AC power is interrupted. A complete battery management system allows
you to obtain maximum battery performance. When connected to a bedside monitor,
audible and visual alarms alert you when loss of power is imminent, and on-screen
capacity gauges on the transport monitor indicate battery charge condition and
capacity.
The Lithium-Ion battery is a rechargeable battery containing Lithium-Ion cells. Each
battery contains an integrated electronic fuel gauge and a safety protection circuit.
The processor within the equipment communicates with both the battery and the
charger.

Docking stations
There are three versions of docking stations:
● Bedside Dock for use with the Solar 8000M/I patient monitor.
The Bedside Dock mounts the PDM to a bedside monitor. The Bedside Dock has
a host interface connection which delivers power, provides communication and
allows easy connection with a bedside monitor.
● Mini Dock for use with mounting hardware.
The Mini Dock provides a mechanical connection between the PDM and mounting
hardware. There are no electrical connections on the Mini Dock.
● Transport Dock for use with the Transport Pro patient monitor.
The Transport Dock fastens to the back of the transport monitor and delivers
power, provides communication and allows easy connection and disconnection.

Measurement principle
The PDM is a portable acquisition device. It collects data from a patient, converts the
data to a digital form for processing, and sends the data to a bedside, transport or
surgical monitor for further processing and display.
The data that it collects, converts, and sends includes the patient’s vital signs and
physiological waveforms. It also stores patient history including trends and special
events, and setup information such as blood pressure zero points and alarm limit
settings. The patient history is stored so that the collected information is transferred
with the PDM when a patient is transferred to a different monitor.

Maintaining the battery


About the lithium-ion battery
The lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery is a rechargeable battery containing lithium-ion cells.
Each battery contains an integrated electronic fuel gauge and a safety protection
circuit.
● The battery discharges on its own, even when it is not installed in the equipment.
This discharge is the result of the lithium-ion cells and the bias current required
for the integrated electronics.
● The self-discharge rate of lithium-ion cells double for every 10°C (18°F) rise in
temperature.
● The capacity loss of the battery degrades significantly at higher temperatures.
● As the battery ages, the full-charge capacity of the battery degrades and is
permanently lost. As a result, the amount of charge that is stored and available
for use is reduced.
The following terms are used to define the battery capacity:
● Design The rated/minimum capacity of the battery cells when the battery is new.
capacity
● Full-charge The actual amount of charge the battery can store and deliver.
capacity
● Remaining The amount of full-charge capacity currently remaining in the battery.
charge This is a percent of full-charge capacity.
capacity

Improving battery performance


Follow these guidelines to improve the battery performance:
1. Position the equipment in a location that does not artificially increase the
operating temperature of the battery.
2. GE recommends using an approved GE external battery charger to charge the
battery whenever possible. The external battery charger maintains a lower
battery cell temperature during the charge cycle.
This reduction in temperature can extend the life of the battery.

52 Patient Data Module 2030046-006


Planned and corrective maintenance

3. Condition the battery when the Battery Quality status indicates that battery
conditioning is needed (Monitor Setup > Main Setup > Battery Status > PDM >
Battery Quality > Condition).
Battery conditioning re-calibrates the electronic fuel gauge. GE recommends
using an external battery charger to condition the battery.
See the supplemental information manual for details about a compatible external
battery charger.

Battery storage recommendations


GE recommends storing the battery outside of the device at a temperature between
20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) if the device will not be used for a long period of time.

Testing the battery charge


Before installing a battery, verify the battery’s state of charge. Each battery must be
fully charged before use.
1. Press the TEST button on the battery and check the green charging level indicators
to see how much charge is left:
● Four LEDs illuminated: 75% to 100% of full-charge capacity.
● Three LEDs illuminated: 50% to 74.9% of full-charge capacity.
● Two LEDs illuminated: 25% to 49.9% of full-charge capacity.
● One LED illuminated: 10% to 24.9% of full-charge capacity.
● One LED flashing: < 10% of full-charge capacity.

Charging a battery inside the module


The module battery is charged whenever the module is installed into a monitor and
the monitor is connected to an AC power source. The module battery is charging both
when the monitor is turned on and when the monitor is in the standby mode.
There are some special conditions when the module battery charging is temporarily
denied, for example, when the battery temperature is too high, or while the monitor
battery is being charged.

Charging a battery using an external battery charger


See the supplemental information manual for details about an approved GE external
battery charger.
Follow the external battery charger instructions for use to charge the battery.

Conditioning the battery


Battery conditioning re-calibrates the electronic fuel gauge. GE recommends using an
external battery charger to condition the battery. See the supplemental information
manual for details about an approved GE external battery charger.
Condition the battery when the Battery Quality status indicates that battery
conditioning is needed:
1. Select Monitor Setup > Main Setup > Battery Status > PDM.

2030046-006 Patient Data Module 53


Planned and corrective maintenance

2. Next to Battery Quality, check for a Condition status.


A Condition status means that the battery requires conditioning.
3. Follow the external battery charger instructions for use to condition the battery.

Disassembly guidelines
Field repair of the device is limited to replacing field replaceable units (FRUs).
WARNING Attempting a field repair on a PCB or a factory sealed
component or assembly could jeopardize the safe and
effective operation of the module, and void the warranty.

NOTE Only qualified service personnel should perform field


replacement procedures.

NOTE Perform the specified corrective maintenance check after any


corrective maintenance to the product.

ESD precautions
All external connectors of the device are designed with protection from ESD damage.
However, if the device requires service, exposed components and assemblies inside
are susceptible to ESD damage. This includes human hands, non-ESD protected work
stations or improperly grounded test equipment. The following guidelines may not
guarantee a 100% static-free workstation, but can greatly reduce the potential for
failure of any electronic assemblies being serviced:
● Discharge any static charge you may have built up before handling semiconductors
or assemblies containing semiconductors.
● Wear a grounded, antistatic wristband or heel strap at all times while handling or
repairing assemblies containing semiconductors.
● Use properly grounded test equipment.
● Use a static-free work surface while handling or working on assemblies containing
semiconductors.
● Do not remove semiconductors or assemblies containing semiconductors from
antistatic containers until absolutely necessary.
● Do not slide semiconductors or electrical/electronic assemblies across any surface.
● Do not touch semiconductor leads unless absolutely necessary.
● Store the semiconductors and electronic assemblies only in antistatic bags or
boxes.
● Handle all PCB assemblies by their edges.
● Do not flex or twist a circuit board.

SpO₂ summary of clinical studies used to establish accuracy


claims
Accuracy of Nellcor Oximax technology with Oximax sensors
Measurement modules using Nellcor Oximax Technology with Oximax sensors have
been validated for no motion accuracy in controlled hypoxia studies with healthy
non-smoking adult volunteers over the specified saturation SpO2 range(s). Pulse
oximeter SpO2 readings were compared to SaO2 values of drawn blood samples
measured by hemoximetry. Subjects used to validate SpO2 measurement accuracies
were healthy and recruited from the local population. Subjects comprised both adult
men and women and spanned a range of skin pigmentations. Because scatter and
bias of pulse oximeter SpO2 and blood SaO2 comparisons commonly increase as the
saturation decreases, and accuracy specifications are calculated from data spanning
the stated range, different accuracy values may result when describing partially
overlapping ranges. When sensors are used on neonatal subjects as recommended,

Pulse oximetry data update period < 30 s
Pulse oximetry saturation and pulse rate The (Masimo) provide averaging time options of 2, 4, 8, 10, 12, 14,
averaging time and 16 seconds. When using the default averaging time the overall
alarm generation delay of SpO2 is typically less than 28 seconds
from the actual SpO2 value in the patient. This delay is due to the
SpO2 averaging, signal processing and data transmission delays.
The delay consists of the alarm condition and alarm generation
delay, being typically <10 seconds and <18 seconds, respectively.
For pulse rate the alarm generation delay is typically less than 11
seconds, in which the alarm signal delay is less than a second. The
SpO2 and Pulse Rate data is updated every second.
The Nellcor OXIMAX algorithm used in the (Nellcor) measurement
module automatically extends the amount of data required for
measuring SpO2 and pulse rate depending on the measurement
conditions. There are various matrices within the saturation pulse
rate detection algorithm. Some of these are used to assess the
severity of conditions presented to the measuring of SpO2 and
pulse rate on a patient. These individual matrices or combinations
of these matrices are used to determine the quality of the received
SpO2 signal. The advanced signal processing in the algorithms
automatically extends the amount of data required for measuring
SpO2 and pulse rate depending on the measuring conditions.
During normal measurement conditions, the averaging time is
approximately three seconds. The overall alarm generation delay
of SpO2 is typically less than 28 seconds from the actual SpO2
value in the patient. This delay is due to the SpO2 averaging, signal
processing and data transmission delays. The delay consists of the
alarm condition and alarm generation delay, being typically <10
seconds and <18 seconds, respectively. For pulse rate the alarm
generation delay is typically less than 11 seconds, in which the
alarm signal delay is less than a second. The SpO2 and Pulse Rate
data is updated every second.

the frequency of the transmitter.

Recommended separation distance:


d = 1.2 √P
d = 1.2 √P 80 MHz to 800 MHz1
d = 2.3 √P 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz
where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according
to the transmitter manufacturer, and d is the recommended separation distance
in meters (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site
survey2, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range.3
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:

These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is


affected by reflection from structures, objects, and people.

Recommended separation distances


The following table provides the recommended separation distances (in meters)
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the device.
This device is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment on which
radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the device
can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the
device as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.

1. At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.


2. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile 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 the
equipment is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the equipment should be observed to verify normal operation. If
abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the equipment.
3. Over the frequency range 150 KHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
