PDM keys
The power/zero all key has a dual role as a power on and zero all function.
Power on — Turns the data acquisition function ON. Power is derived
from a battery or monitor. When turned on, the function changes to
the zero all function.
Zero all — Zeros all invasive pressure lines which are open to atmosphere.
Each pressure can also be zeroed, if desired, with a menu option in the
pressure menu.
Indicators
Communication and power indicators:
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.
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.

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.
Reassembly precautions
Pay attention to the following generic precautions when reassembling the patient
monitor:
● Note the positions of any wires, cables or connectors. Mark them if necessary to
ensure that they are reassembled correctly.
● Save and set aside all hardware for reassembly.
● GE recommends using the new fasteners (screws, washers, etc.) provided in the
FRU kits rather than reusing the old fasteners. Some fasteners are not intended
to be re-used.
When you fasten the screws:
● Visually ensure that the screws are properly attached.
● Do not use too much force, as this may damage the existing thread patterns.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended
separation distance [d] in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable
to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of
the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range
applies.
These guidelines may not apply in all instances. Electromagnetic propagation is
affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
