1131IntroductionThese Instructions for Use are for clinical professionals using the IntelliVue MX800 patient monitor.This basic operation section gives you an overview of the monitor and its functions. It tells you how to perform tasks that are common to all measurements (such as entering data, switching a measurement on and off, setting up and adjusting wave speeds, working with profiles). The alarms section gives an overview of alarms. The remaining sections tell you how to perform individual measurements, and how to care for and maintain the equipment.Familiarize yourself with all instructions including warnings and cautions before starting to monitor patients. Read and keep the Instructions for Use that come with any accessories, as these contain important information about care and cleaning that is not repeated here.This guide describes all features and options. Your monitor may not have all of them; they are not all available in all geographies. Your monitor is highly configurable. What you see on the screen, how the menus appear and so forth, depends on the way it has been tailored for your hospital and may not be exactly as shown here.In this guide:•A warning alerts you to a potential serious outcome, adverse event or safety hazard. Failure to observe a warning may result in death or serious injury to the user or patient.•A caution alerts you to where special care is necessary for the safe and effective use of the product. Failure to observe a caution may result in minor or moderate personal injury or damage to the product or other property, and possibly in a remote risk of more serious injury.Introducing the MonitorThe IntelliVue MX800 patient monitor offers a monitoring solution optimized for the high-end surgical, cardiac, medical and neonatal care environments. Combining patient surveillance and data management, it allows multi-measurement monitoring by linking separate modules. The MX800 uses the touch screen as primary input device and has a remote control for convenient access to the five main keys and numeric data input.The monitor stores data in trend, event, and calculation databases. You can see tabular trends (vital signs) and document them on a printer. You can view measurement trend graphs, with up to three measurements combined in each graph, to help you identify changes in the patient's physiological condition. You can view fast-changing measurement trends with beat to beat resolution and see up to four high resolution trend segments. Event surveillance enhances documentation and review of physiologically significant events by automatically detecting and storing up to 50 user-defined clinical events over a 24 hour period.
1 Introduction14With the optional Integrated PC, you have computer functionality directly in the monitor. You can use standard applications (e.g. Web browsers), connect to the hospital network or intranet, and run a second independent display with content from the patient monitor.An IntelliVue X2 or MP5 can be connected to your monitor, where it acts as a multi-measurement module, acquiring measurements for the host monitor. When the X2 or MP5 is disconnected from the the original host monitor, it continues to monitor the patient as a fully independent, battery powered patient monitor, eliminating the need for a separate transport monitor. On connection to a new host monitor, the X2 or MP5 resumes its role as multi-measurement module, ensuring fully continuous monitoring.Major Parts and KeysDevices for Acquiring MeasurementsThe patient monitor acquires patient measurements using the devices described in this section. You can also extend the measurement capabilities of your monitor with such devices. Of these measurement devices, only the X2 has its own power on/standby switch, and can be powered from an external power supply or a rechargeable battery when not directly connected to the monitor (refer to the IntelliVue X2 Instructions for Use for details). All the rest take their power exclusively from the monitor, and switch on automatically when you turn on the monitor. A green power-on LED indicates when they are drawing power from the monitor. A permanently illuminated, or flashing, red LED indicates a problem with the unit that requires the attention of qualified service personnel.All symbols used on the front panels are explained in “Symbols” on page 391.WARNINGWhen connecting devices for acquiring measurements, always position cables and tubing carefully to avoid entanglement or potential strangulation.1Color coded alarm lamps2Alarms Off lamp3Power on/Standby switch with integrated LED: Green - On/Standby, Red - Error4AC power LED5Mounting quick-release lever (when this is pressed the monitor is not fixed on the mounting)6Part number and serial number
1 Introduction15Flexible Module Rack (M8048A)The flexible module rack (FMS) lets you use up to eight plug-in physiological measurement modules.The maximum number of specific module types that can be used simultaneously in an FMS is: five pressure modules, four temperature modules, four VueLink or IntelliBridge modules (any combination).Connect the FMS to the monitor via the measurement link cable (MSL). Use the MSL connector on the left-hand side to connect an additional MMS. Use the connector on the right to connect to the monitor.Measurement ModulesYou can use up to eight measurement modules with the Flexible Module Rack (M8048A). Available modules are:• Invasive blood pressure (M1006B)• Temperature (M1029A)• Oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO2) (M1020B)• Cardiac output (M1012A), and Continuous cardiac output with M1012A Option #C10• Transcutaneous gas (M1018A)• Mixed venous oxygen saturation - SvO2 (M1021A)• Intravascular Oxygen Saturation - ScvO2 or SvO2 (M1011A)• Recorder (M1116B)• VueLink device interface (M1032A)• IntelliBridge EC10• EEG (M1027A)• Bispectral Index - BIS (M1034A)• Spirometry (M1014A)You can plug in and unplug modules during monitoring. Insert the module until the lever on the module clicks into place. Remove a module by pressing the lever upwards and pulling the module out. A measurement automatically switches on when you plug the module in, and switches off when you unplug it. Reconnecting a module to the same monitor restores its label and measurement settings, such as alarms limits. If you connect it to a different monitor, the module remembers only its label.1X1 Multi-Measurement Module2Multi-Measurement Module mount3Flexible Module Rack4Power on LED5Interruption indicator
1 Introduction16The connector socket on the front of each module is the same color as the corresponding connector plug on the transducer or patient cable.Press the Setup key on the module's front to display the measurement's setup menu on the monitor screen. When the setup menu is open, a light appears above the key. Some modules have a second key. On the pressure module, for example, it initiates a zeroing procedure.Example Module (SpO2)X1 Multi-Measurement Module (M3001A)The X1 Multi-Measurement Module (MMS) can simultaneously monitor 3-, 5-, 6- or 10-lead ECG (including arrhythmia and ST monitoring), respiration, SpO2, NBP and either invasive pressure or temperature. You can connect it to the monitor via a cable or mount it on the left side of the FMS.1Module name2Setup key LED3Setup key to enter setup menu of measurement modules or external device data window. Some modules have a second module-specific key next to this one, for example Zero.4Connector socket for patient cable/transducer
1 Introduction17X1 Connectors and SymbolsX2 Multi-Measurement Module (M3002A)The X2 Multi-Measurement Module (MMS) can simultaneously monitor 3-, 5-, 6- or 10-lead ECG (including arrhythmia and ST monitoring), respiration, SpO2, NBP and either invasive pressure and temperature, or CO2. It has a color touchscreen display.The X2 has the added capability to operate as a stand-alone monitor, and can be powered by a rechargeable battery. This makes it particularly suited to transport situations. When the X2 is disconnected from the original host monitor, it continues to monitor the patient as a stand-alone monitor running on battery power, eliminating the need for a separate transport monitor. When the X2 is connected to a new host monitor, it resumes its role as MMS, ensuring fully continuous monitoring. For details of using the X2 as a stand-alone monitor, refer to the IntelliVue X2 Instructions for Use.When connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated), the X2 takes power from the host, including that required for battery charging. The X2 can also be powered by AC mains when not connected to a host monitor using the optionally available external power supply (M8023A). See the IntelliVue X2 Instructions for Use for details.1White ECG/Resp connector2Blue SpO2 connector3Red NBP connector4Combined pressure (red) and temperature (brown) connector - connect either invasive pressure transducer or temperature probe.

Connects to the external power supply or a host monitor via the MSL cable for AC mains operation, battery charging, and communication with a network.
1 Introduction20MMS ExtensionsThe MMS extensions connect to the X1 and X2 MMS and use the MMS settings and power. Trend data and measurement settings from the measurements in the extensions are stored in the MMS.WARNING• The MMS extensions can only function when they are connected to an MMS. If the MMS is removed during monitoring, the measurements from both the MMS and the extension are lost.• Measurements from an MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on its own battery power. They are only available when the X2 is powered from AC mains, when connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A), or from the Battery Extension.To separate an extension from the MMS, press the release lever down, and push the MMS forward.M3014A, M3015A, M3015B and M3016A Capnography MMS ExtensionsThe optional M3014A Capnography extension adds mainstream capnography or sidestream capnography, and optionally one pressure plus either a pressure or a temperature, Cardiac Output and Continuous Cardiac Output to the MMS.M3014A1Pressure connectors (red)2Temperature connector (brown)3Mainstream/sidestream connector CO24Cardiac Output connector
1 Introduction21The optional M3015A Microstream CO2 extension adds microstream capnography and optionally either pressure or temperature to the MMS. The optional M3015B Microstream CO2 extension adds microstream capnography, two pressures and a temperature to the MMS.The optional M3016A Mainstream CO2 extension adds mainstream capnography and optionally either pressure or temperature to the MMS. When a capnography extension is connected to an X2 MMS with CO2, the CO2 from the extension will be automatically deactivated in favor of the one in the X2. If you prefer to use the CO2 measurement on the extension, you can activate it via the measurement selection key (see “Resolving Label Conflicts” on page 38).M3015A M3015B1Pressure connectors (red) - M3015A optional2Temperature connector (brown) - M3015A optional3Inlet4Microstream connector CO25Gas sample outletM3016A1Pressure connectors (red)2Temperature connector (brown)3Mainstream/sidestream connector CO2 (optional)
1 Introduction22The cardiac output measurement in the M3014A is deactivated when the extension is used with an X2 MMS, even if the X2 is connected to an external power supply. The cardiac output measurement is only available when the X2 is connected to a host monitor.M3012A Hemodynamic MMS ExtensionThe M3012A Hemodynamic extension can be connected to the M3001A Multi-Measurement Module to provide the following additional measurements: Temperature, Pressure, an additional Pressure or Temperature, and C.O. and CCO measurements.The cardiac output measurement is deactivated when the extension is used with an X2 MMS unless the X2 is connected to a host monitor.Operating and NavigatingEverything you need to operate the monitor is contained on its screen. Almost every element on the screen is interactive. Screen elements include measurement numerics, waveforms, screen keys, information fields, alarms fields and menus.The configurability of the monitor means that often you can access the same element in different ways. For example, you might be able to access an item through its on-screen setup menu, via a hard key, or via a SmartKey.1Cardiac Output (orange; optional)2Connection to MMS3Pressure connectors (red)4Temperature connectors (brown)

1 Introduction29Using the SmartKeys KeyThe SmartKeys hard key on the remote control displays a block of SmartKeys on the monitor screen.Nine SmartKeys appear in a 3 by 3 matrix which corresponds to the layout of the numeric pad on the remote control.Pressing the 1 key on the remote control selects the top left SmartKey, pressing the 8 key selects the bottom center SmartKey. The .and the key can be used to select the arrow keys to page up and down in the available SmartKeys.The SmartKeys which appear can be configured so that you have the functions available which you most often need when using the remote control. If no list of SmartKeys has been configured, the standard SmartKeys will be displayed and you can page through to the key you want.Using the On-Screen KeyboardUse this as you would a conventional keyboard. Enter the information by selecting one character after another. Use the Shift and capital Lock keys to access uppercase letters. Use the Back key to delete single characters, or use the Clr key to delete entire entries. Select Enter to confirm what you have entered and close the on-screen keyboard.If a conventional keyboard is connected to the monitor, you can use this instead of or in combination with the on-screen keyboard.Using the On-Screen CalculatorYou can use the on-screen calculator to perform any of the standard operations for which you would normally use a handheld calculator.• To access the on-screen calculator, select the Calculator SmartKey, or select Main Setup then Calculations followed by Calculator.Operating ModesWhen you switch the monitor on, it starts up in monitoring mode. To change to a different mode:1Select the Main Setup menu.2Select Operating Modes and choose the mode you require.Your monitor has four operating modes. Some are passcode protected.
1 Introduction30•Monitoring Mode: This is the normal, every day working mode that you use for monitoring patients. You can change elements such as alarm limits, patient category and so forth. When you discharge the patient, these elements return to their default values. Changes can be stored permanently only in Configuration Mode. You may see items, such as some menu options or the altitude setting, that are visible but ‘grayed out’ so that you can neither select nor change them. These are for your information and can be changed only in Configuration Mode.•Demonstration Mode: Passcode protected, this is for demonstration purposes only. You must not change into Demonstration Mode during monitoring. In Demonstration Mode, all stored trend information is deleted from the monitor’s memory.•Configuration Mode: Passcode protected, this mode is for personnel trained in configuration tasks. These tasks are described in the Configuration Guide. During installation the monitor is configured for use in your environment. This configuration defines the default settings you work with when you switch on, the number of waves you see and so forth.• Service Mode: Passcode protected, this is for trained service personnel.When the monitor is in Demonstration Mode, Configuration Mode, or Service Mode, this is indicated by a box with the mode name in the center of the Screen and a symbol in the bottom right-hand corner. Select the mode box in the center of the screen to change to a different mode.When an X2 or MP5 is connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated):• The monitor in companion mode will adopt the operating mode of the host monitor.• You cannot change the operating mode at the monitor in companion mode.Standby ModeStandby mode can be used when you want to temporarily interrupt monitoring.To enter Standby mode,• select the Monitor Standby SmartKey or•select Main Setup, followed by Monitor Standby.The monitor enters Standby mode automatically after the End Case function is used to discharge a patient.Standby suspends patient monitoring. All waves and numerics disappear from the display but all settings and patient data information are retained. A special Standby screen is displayed. This can be configured to a moving image or a blank screen. If a patient location is entered at the Information Center, this will also be displayed on the Standby screen (availability depends on Information Center revision).To resume monitoring,• Select anything on the screen or press any key.If you connect an X2 or MP5 that is powered on (and not in Standby) to a host monitor in Standby mode, the host will leave Standby mode. When connected to a host monitor, with both the host and the monitor in companion mode in Standby mode, leaving Standby on the monitor in companion mode will also make the host leave Standby.
1 Introduction31Understanding ScreensYour monitor comes with a set of pre-configured Screens, optimized for common monitoring scenarios such as OR adult, or ICU neonatal. A Screen defines the overall selection, size and position of waves, numerics and other elements on the monitor screen when you switch on. You can easily switch between different Screens during monitoring. Screens do NOT affect alarm settings, patient category and so forth.When you switch from a complex to a less complex Screen layout, some measurements may not be visible but are still monitored in the background. If you switch to a more complex Screen with, for example, four invasive pressure waves but you have only two pressures connected to the monitor, the "missing" two pressures are either left blank or the available space is filled by another measurement.Switching to a Different Screen1To switch to a different Screen, select the current Screen name in the monitor info line, or select the Change Screen SmartKey.2Choose the new Screen from the pop-up list.Changing a Screen's ContentIf you do not want to change the entire Screen content, but only some parts of it, you can substitute individual waves, numerics, high-res waves, or trends. Be aware that these changes cannot be stored permanently in Monitoring Mode.To change the selection of elements on a Screen,1Select the element you want to change.2From the menu that appears, select Change Wave, Change Numeric, or ChangeHiResTrend, and then select the wave or numeric you want, or select the high-resolution trend wave you want from the list of available waves.If you do not see Change Numeric in the menu, this Screen may be configured to always display the numeric beside its wave. Changing the wave will automatically change the numeric.The changed Screen is shown with an asterisk in the monitor info line.In the Change Screen menu, the changed Screen is shown linked to the original Screen and marked with an asterisk.Up to three modified Screens can be accessed via the Change Screen menu.To recall Screens, either• select the name of the Screen in the Change Screen menuor• use the previous/next arrows at the top of the Change Screen menu to move back and forth in the Screen history. The ten most recently-used Screens including up to three modified Screens can be accessed.After a patient discharge, the monitor's default Screen is shown. Modified Screens are still available in the Change Screen menu.
1 Introduction32If the monitor is switched off and then on again, modified Screens are erased from the monitor's memory and cannot be recalled. If a modified Screen was the last active Screen when the monitor was switched off, it is retained (unless Automat. Default is configured to Yes).Connecting Additional Displays to the MonitorYou can connect a second display, showing the same Screen as the main display, to your monitor, for viewing only.If you have the optional independent display interface, you can connect a second display which can be configured and operated individually using standard input devices.For monitors with multiple displays and multiple input devices, the usage and behavior can be configured according to specific requirements at installation (for example, use for two independent operators or tracking of mouse input across two displays). For details refer to the Service Guide.When two operators are using two displays, the scope of an action depends on the type of operation:• Patient monitoring operations such as Silence or Pause alarms take effect for the monitor as a whole, the results will be seen on both displays.• Display operations such as the Main Screen key and Back hardkey will take effect only on the display being operated. If you are operating two displays with one remote control, to navigate from one display to another:1Move the highlight to the Main Screen key and then turn one click further.The highlighting moves to a special "jump" field at the edge of the Screen.2Press the navigation knob on the remote control to confirm; the highlighting will automatically move to the other display.The content of each Screen can be changed individually as described in the previous section. If you are operating two displays, you can choose Screens for both displays from one location:1Select Profiles in the monitor info line of the first display,2Select Display 1, or Display 2, then select the Screen you want to appear on that display from the list of available Screens.When two displays are mounted next to each other or one above the other, a special Screen can be assigned which spans across both displays. The Screen content for these Tall and Wide Screens can then use the increased area available with two displays. These Screens appear in the Screen list with a special Tall Screen or Wide Screen symbol.Certain windows (for example: cardiac output procedure) can only be shown on one display at a time. If you try to open one of these windows when it is already shown on another display, you will see a blank gray window with a cross through it.Using the XDS Remote DisplayUsing the IntelliVue XDS solution it is possible to view an independent monitor screen on an external display. The XDS solution consists of a medical grade PC-based hardware platform, XDS application software and the XDS connectivity option on the monitor. Depending on the configuration you can also operate the monitor from the external display. The XDS must be connected to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the monitor.It is also possible to use an existing PC, connected to the same LAN, to host the XDS Application software.
1 Introduction33For more details, including limitations and restrictions, refer to the Instructions for Use for the XDS Application.Using the Visitor ScreenIf a visitor Screen is configured for your monitor, you can use it to clear the screen of all waves and numerics but continue to monitor the patient with active alarms and trend storage at the bedside and Information Center. You can change the name of the visitor Screen in Configuration Mode.• To activate this Screen, select the Screen name in the monitor info line to open the Change Screen menu, then select the name of the visitor Screen configured for your monitor from the list of available Screens.To select a Screen with waves and numerics again,• Touch the gray box in the center of the screen, showing the visitor Screen's name, to open the Change Screen menu and select a different Screen to show waves and numerics again.Understanding ProfilesProfiles are predefined monitor configurations. They let you change the configuration of the whole monitor so you can adapt it to different monitoring situations. The changes that occur when you change a complete profile are more far reaching than those made when you change a Screen. Screens affect only what is shown on the display. Profiles affect all monitor and measurement settings.The settings that are defined by Profiles are grouped into three categories. Each category offers a choice of 'settings blocks' customized for specific monitoring situations. These categories are:•Display (screens)Each profile can have a choice of many different predefined screens. If you are using a second display, each display can have its own individual screen selection. When you change the profile, the screen selection configured for the new profile becomes active.•Measurement SettingsEach profile can have a choice of different predefined measurement settings. These relate directly to individual measurements, for example, measurement on/off, measurement color, alarms limits, NBP alarm source, NBP repeat time, temperature unit (°F or °C), pressure unit (mmHg or kPa).•Monitor SettingsEach profile can have a choice of different predefined monitor settings. These relate to the monitor as a whole; for example, display brightness, alarms off/paused, alarm volume, QRS tone volume, tone modulation, prompt tone volume, wave speed, resp wave speed, pulse source.You can change from one complete profile to another or swap individual settings blocks (display/monitor settings/measurement settings) to change a subset of a profile. Changes you make to any element within the settings blocks are not saved when you discharge the patient, unless you save them in Configuration Mode.Depending on your monitor configuration, when you switch on or discharge a patient the monitor either continues with the previous profile, or resets to the default profile configured for that monitor.
1 Introduction34WARNINGIf you switch to a different profile, the patient category and paced status normally change to the setting specified in the new profile. However some profiles may be set up to leave the patient category and paced status unchanged. Always check the patient category, paced status, and all alarms and settings, when you change profiles.When you leave Demonstration Mode, the monitor uses the default profile.Swapping a Complete Profile1Select Profiles in the monitor info line, or select the Profiles SmartKey.2In the Profiles menu, select Profile.3Chose a profile from the pop-up list.4Confirm your selection.Swapping a Settings Block1Select Profiles in the monitor info line, or select the Profiles SmartKey.2In the Profiles menu, select Display or Measmnt.Settings or Monitor Settings to call up a list of the settings blocks in each category.3Choose a settings block from the pop-up list.4Confirm your selection.Default ProfileYour monitor has a default profile that it uses when you leave Demonstration, or Service modes, or when you discharge a patient. This profile is indicated by a diamond shaped symbol.Locked ProfilesUnderstanding SettingsEach aspect of how the monitor works and looks is defined by a setting. There are a number of different categories of settings, including,Some profiles are locked, so that you cannot change them, even in Configuration Mode. These are indicated by this lock symbol.
1 Introduction35Screen Settings, to define the selection and appearance of elements on each individual ScreenMeasurement settings, to define settings unique to each measurement, for example, high and low alarm limitsMonitor settings, including settings that affect more than one measurement or Screen and define general aspects of how the monitor works, for example, alarm volume, reports and recordings, and display brightness.You must be aware that, although many settings can be changed in Monitoring Mode, permanent changes to settings can only be done in the monitor's Configuration Mode. All settings are reset to the stored defaults:• when you discharge a patient• when you load a Profile• when the monitor is switched off for more than one minute (if Automat. Default is set to Yes).Changing Measurement SettingsEach measurement has a setup menu in which you can adjust all of its settings. You can enter a setup menu:• via the measurement numeric - select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu. For example, to enter the Setup ECG menu, select the HR (heart rate) numeric.• via the Setup hardkey (on plug-in modules) - press the Setup hardkey on the module front.•via the Main Setup permanent key - if you want to setup a measurement when the measurement is switched off, use the Main Setup permanent key and select Measurements. Then select the measurement name from the pop-up list. With this permanent key you can access any setup menu in the monitor.• via the Measurement Selection key.This guide always describes the entry method using the setup menu. But you can use any method you prefer.Switching a Measurement On and OffWhen a measurement is off, its waves and numerics are removed from the monitor's screen. The monitor stops data acquisition and alarming for this measurement. A measurement automatically switches off if you disconnect its module or MMS. If you disconnect a transducer, the monitor replaces the measurement numeric with question marks. If in this situation alarms are paused or switched off, the measurement in question may be switched off completely, depending on monitor configuration.1Enter the measurement's setup menu and select the measurement.2Select the measurement name to switch between on and off. The screen display indicates the active setting.Switching Numerics On and OffFor some measurements, such as EEG, you can choose which numerics to view on the screen.In the measurement's setup menu, select the numeric name to toggle between on and off.For example in the Setup EEG menu, select the EEG numeric name to toggle between on and off.
1 Introduction36Adjusting a Measurement WaveTo quickly adjust wave-related measurement settings (such as speed or size), select the measurement wave itself. This displays the measurement wave menu, which has only wave-related measurement settings.Changing Wave SpeedsLowering the wave speed compresses the wave and lets you view a longer time period. Increasing the speed expands the waveform, giving you a more detailed view.The monitor distinguishes three groups of wave speed settings,•RespiratorySpeed, for all respiratory waves: CO2, anesthetic agents and O2•EEG Speed, for all EEG and BIS waves•Global Speed, for all waves not included in the other two groups.Changing the Wave Group SpeedThe wave speed group setting defines the speed of all the waves in the group.To change the wave speed of a wave speed group,1Select Main Setup, then select User Interface2Select Global Speed, RespiratorySpeed, or EEG Speed as required3Select a value from the list of available speeds.Changing Wave Speed for a ChannelTo change the wave speed of an individual wave channel,1Enter the Wave menu for a measurement by selecting its wave.2Select Change Speed.3To set the speed to the wave group speed, select RespiratorySpeed, EEG Speed, or Global Speed.To set an individual channel speed, select a numeric value from the list of available speeds. This overrides the wave group speed setting and set the speed for the individual wave channel on the monitor Screen. The wave channel speed is independent of the wave (label) depicted in the channel, if you change the wave, the new wave will retain the set channel speed.Freezing WavesYou can freeze waves on the screen and measure parts of the wave using cursors. The waves are frozen with a history of 20 seconds so that you can go back and measure what you have seen.Freezing An Individual WaveTo freeze a wave,1Enter the Wave menu for the measurement by selecting the wave on the screen.2Select Freeze Wave.The realtime wave is replaced with the frozen wave.
1 Introduction37Freezing All WavesTo freeze all waves on the screen,1Select the Freeze Waves SmartKey.All realtime waves are replaced with frozen waves.Measuring Frozen WavesTo measure a frozen wave,1Select the frozen wave.If you are using touch, this automatically positions the vertical cursor. The cursor can be repositioned by touching the required point on the wave, or2Using the SpeedPoint or another pointing device or touch: use the right/left arrow keys to move the vertical cursor.The vertical cursor moves through the time axis and the current value is displayed next to the cursor.3Use the up/down arrow keys to activate and move the horizontal cursor.The horizontal cursor measures the wave value, which is displayed above the cursor line. If the wave is a pressure wave, the cursor value can be stored as a systolic, diastolic or mean pressure value; if the pressure wave is a PAP wave it can also be stored as a PAWP value; for pressure waves P, P1 to P8 it can also be stored as an IAP value. The stored value appears in the trend database as a manually entered value.Changing The Wave SpeedLowering the wave speed compresses the wave and lets you view a longer time period. Increasing the speed expands the waveform, giving you a more detailed view.To change the wave speed:1Select the frozen wave.2Select Change Speed.3Select a speed from the list.Using LabelsYou may have more than one instance of some measurements, for example pressure, being used simultaneously. The monitor uses labels to distinguish between them. The default settings defined in the profile (such as measurement color, wave scale, and alarm settings) are stored within each label. When you assign a label to a measurement, the monitor automatically applies these default settings to the measurement. The labels assigned are used throughout the monitor, in reports, recordings, and in trends.Changing Measurement Labels (e.g. Pressure)To change a measurement label of a measurement with multiple labels (e.g. invasive pressure or temperature),1Enter the wave menu of the measurement.
1 Introduction382Select Label.3Choose a label from the list.The monitor automatically applies the scale, color, etc. settings stored in the Profile for the label you select. You can change scale settings in Monitoring Mode, but color can only be changed in the monitor's Configuration Mode.Any labels already being used in the monitor are shown "grayed-out" in the list and cannot be selected.About Label SetsYour monitor may be configured to use a Restricted or Full label set. The Full label set provides extra labels for Pressure and Temp. See the sections in this Instructions for Use on Pressure and Temp for more information.If you connect an MMS from a monitor using a Full label set to an IntelliVue monitor using a Restricted label set or an M3/M4 monitor, any additional labels switch to labels available in the target monitor. This may cause a label conflict with other monitored measurements.Be aware that connecting a monitor using the Full label set to an Information Center with certain software revisions may affect the availability of measurement information from the additional labels on the Information Center. See the Information Center documentation and your monitor's Configuration Guide for information on label set compatibility.Resolving Label ConflictsEach label must be unique, that is, it can only be assigned once. You cannot monitor two pressures labeled "ICP" at the same time. If you need to use two identical pressures, you must assign different labels to them, for example, P and ICP.Measurement labels are stored in the measurement device (module or MMS). If you try to use two measurement devices that have identical labels, this causes a label conflict in the monitor.Measurement selection key with question marks indicating a label conflict.Depending on your configuration, the monitor will either• resolve the conflict automatically, by assigning a new, generic label to the most recently connected conflicting label (e.g. a second FAP label could be changed to ABP)•display the Measurement Selection window automatically for you to resolve the conflict• take no action, you must enter the Measurement Selection window and resolve the conflict.
1 Introduction39All the currently available measurement devices, for example MMSs, MMS extensions, measurement modules, Gas analyzers, devices connected to a host monitor and manually entered measurements (marked ), are depicted in the Measurement Selection window.Any measurement labels causing a label conflict are shown in red. If a measurement device is connected but currently unavailable, for example, because it was deactivated due to a label conflict, the device is shown "grayed-out".When an X2 or MP5 is connected to a host monitor, the measurement selection window looks like this:WARNINGWhen an X2 or MP5 with an active measurement, say SpO2, is connected to a host monitor with the same measurement already active, the SpO2 measurement on the X2 or MP5 is deactivated and the Meas. DEACTIVATED INOP is displayed. The measurement can only be reactivated if the X2 or MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor. The label conflict can be resolved on the host monitor like any other label conflict.To resolve a label conflict:1Select the measurement selection key or select Main Setup, then Meas. Selection to display the Measurement Selection window.2Select the device whose label you want to correct.3Use the measurement selection pop-up keys to resolve the conflict. Select either:–Change Label: to assign a different label to the conflicting labelDe-activated devices are grayed-out (here the Temp measurement on the left)X2 connected to host monitor MP5 connected to host monitor
1 Introduction40–De- Activate: to disable the conflicting device. It retains its label for future use but becomes invisible to the monitor, as though it had been unplugged. When the device has been deactivated the question marks under the measurement selection key will be replaced by XXX.–Setup <Measurement Label>: to enter the Setup menu for the measurement and change the conflicting device's label to a different label.–Modify Driver (VueLink/IntelliBridge only): - to modify the device driver setup to disable the conflicting device's label.Label CompatibilityWhen a new measurement is introduced, or new labels for an existing measurement, these labels will not be shown on older Information Centers, and consequently not on the Overview screen sourced from the Information Center.When a patient is transferred from a monitor with these new labels to one with an older software revision, the labels will be replaced with a generic label for that measurement. The settings for that generic label will then be used.If it is critical that the measurement labels are available at the Information Center and after transfers, the older monitors and the Information Center must be upgraded to the appropriate software revision.Updating The Frozen WaveTo update the wave, that is freeze the current wave:1Select the frozen wave.2Select Freeze Again.Releasing Frozen WavesTo release frozen waves,1Select a frozen wave.2Select Unfreeze Waves.All frozen waves are released.Entering Measurements ManuallyYou can enter values into the monitor that have been measured with other equipment or manually (for example, manual temperatures, lab values). These values are then stored in the database, included in trends and reports, and passed on to the Information Center and central charting systems. There is no alarm functionality for manually entered measurements.To enter values,1Select the Enter Values SmartKey or select Main Setup then select Enter MeasValues.2Select the measurement you want to enter values for. The Edit window will open.3If the measurement is switched off, switch it on by selecting the label.4Select Value and enter the value.5Select Date/Time to enter the date and time for the value. The default is always the current date and time.
1 Introduction416For compound labels, for example ABPs, ABPd and ABPm, select the Format field to select whether all values are required or a single value.7Select Save.When a manually entered value has been configured to display as a numeric on the screen, you can also enter a new value for this measurement by selecting the numeric, then selecting Enter MeasValues.Manually entered measurement values are marked with a * on the display, in trends, and so forth. Each measurement has a defined measurement interval after which a value becomes invalid (no value is then displayed). Values can be entered up to two hours after they have been measured or up to the measurement interval, if this is shorter.The list of measurement labels which appears in the Enter Measurement Values window is set in Configuration Mode.No values can be entered manually on a monitor in companion mode when it is connected to a host monitor.Switching Manually Entered Measurements On and OffTo switch a manually entered measurement on or off,1Select the Enter Values SmartKey or select Main Setup then select Enter MeasValues.2Select the measurement you want to switch on or off.3Select the measurement label field to switch between On and Off.Changing Monitor SettingsTo change monitor settings such as brightness, or QRS tone volume, select the Main Setup permanent key and then select User Interface to enter a submenu where you can change these settings.Adjusting the Screen Brightness1Select the Brightness SmartKey.2Select the appropriate setting for the screen brightness. 10 is the brightest, 1 is the least bright. Optimum is suitable for most monitoring locations and optimizes power usage for battery powered monitors.Your monitor may be configured with a lower brightness for Standby mode and also (for battery powered monitors) for transport to conserve battery power. These settings can only be changed in the monitor's Configuration Mode.If you are using a monitor with an external display, the Brightness SmartKey does not adjust the brightness of this display. See the instructions supplied with the external display for instructions.Setting the Date and Time1Select the Date, Time screen element from the monitor's info line to enter the Date, Time menu.2Select, in turn, the Year, Month, Day, Hour (in 24 hour format, only) and Minute as necessary. Select the correct values from the pop-up list.
1 Introduction423Select Store Date, Time to change the date and time.If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, the date and time are automatically taken from this. Once it is set, the internal clock retains the setting even when you switch off the monitor.WARNINGChanging the date or time will affect the storage of trends and events.Checking Your Monitor Revision1Select Main Setup then select Revisions to open the Monitor Revision menu.2Select the correct device from the device pop-up keys.3From the Monitor Revision menu, select the monitor component for which you need revision information.Getting StartedOnce you understand the basic operation principles, you can get ready for monitoring. We also recommend working through the CBT for self-training before using the monitor (not available in all languages). Inspecting the MonitorWARNINGIf the monitor is mechanically damaged, or if it is not working properly, do not use it for any monitoring procedure on a patient. Contact your service personnel.1Before you start to make measurements, carry out the following checks on the monitor including all connected MMSs, modules, or MMS extensions.– Check for any mechanical damage.– Check all the external cables, plug-ins and accessories.2Plug the power cord into the AC power source. 3Check all the functions of the instrument that you need to monitor the patient, and ensure that the instrument is in good working order.Switching OnPress the power on/standby switch on the monitor for one second. The monitor performs a self test and is then ready to use. If you see a message such as CO₂ SENS.WARMUP wait until it disappears before starting to monitor that measurement. Connected devices usually take their power from the monitor. External devices such as gas monitors and those connected via VueLink/IntelliBridge have their own power switches.
1 Introduction43Power On/Power Off BehaviorThe general rules determining the behavior of the monitor when connected to, or disconnected from power are as follows:• A monitor that was switched on prior to a temporary power loss switches on again when power is restored.• A monitor that was switched off prior to a temporary power loss remains off when power is restored.• An X2 or MP5 switches on automatically when connected to a running host monitor.• When an X2 or MP5 is disconnected from a running host monitor, the X2 or MP5 continues to run without interruption on battery power.Setting up the Modules1Decide which measurements you want to make.2Connect the required modules, MMSs, or MMS extensions.3Check that you have the correct patient cables and transducers plugged in. The connectors are color-coded to the patient cables and transducers for easy identification.Starting MonitoringAfter you switch on the monitor,1Admit your patient to the monitor.2Check that the profile, alarm limits, alarm and QRS volumes, patient category and paced status and so forth are appropriate for your patient. Change them if necessary.3Refer to the appropriate measurement chapter for further details of how to perform the measurements you require.WARNINGDuring MR imaging, remove all transducers, sensors and cables from the patient. Induced currents could cause burns.Disconnecting from PowerThe On/Standby switch does not disconnect the monitor from the ac power source. To disconnect, unplug the power cable.Monitoring After a Power FailureIf the monitor is without power for less than one minute, monitoring will resume with all active settings unchanged. If the monitor is without power for more than one minute, the behavior depends on your configuration. If Automat. Default is set to Yes, the default profile will be loaded when power is restored. If Automat. Default is set to No, all active settings are retained, if power is restored within 48 hours. The Automat. Default setting is made in Configuration Mode.
1 Introduction44Networked MonitoringYou can connect your monitor to an Information Center on a network, using one of the optional interfaces:• Standard wired LAN• Wireless LAN• IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry System (IIT).WARNINGDo not connect patient monitors to the standard hospital network.Additionally, when an IntelliVue X2 or MP5 is equipped with IIT and declared at the Information Center as a telemetry device, it allows data continuity when paired to a host monitor. After disconnection from the host monitor, it continues to monitor the patient during transport and provides continuous data to the same sector on the Information Center. (See “Assigning a Telemetry Device and a Monitor to One Patient” on page 263.)If your monitor is connected to a network, a network symbol is displayed in the upper left corner next to the bed label. To see details about the Care Group, the monitoring equipment, and technical information about the network,• in the monitor info line, select the bed label.Be aware that some network-based functions may be limited for monitors on wireless networks in comparison to those on wired networks.Printout functionality and data export are not guaranteed when using a standard hospital network.Using the Integrated PCIf your monitor has the optional integrated PC (iPC), you can run applications on the iPC. The applications display data on the monitor's display (or on a second independent display) that is generated on and retrieved from the iPC or externally.For details about applications, refer to the XDS/iPC Instructions for Use.The monitor runs independently of the iPC, and vice versa. WARNING• Some clinical applications may show data from another patient. Be aware that some of the data on your patient monitor display may not always be from your patient.• Applications running on the iPC cannot act as a primary alarming device and cannot be relied upon for alarm notification. There may be no audible or visible indications apart from what is shown on the screen and any data shown may be delayed.Starting the iPCYour monitor may be configured to have the iPC start up automatically when the monitor is switched on. If not:
1 Introduction451Select Main Setup then Internal PC.2In the Internal PC menu, select Switch PC On to start the iPC.Viewing the iPC Desktop on the Monitor DisplayIf the Desktop is not displayed on the monitor display:1Select the iPC icon, or2Select Main Setup ÎInternal PC ÎShow PC Window.To hide the Desktop again, select Main Screen.Adjusting the iPC Audio VolumeThe Audio from the iPC is normally configured to be off. However, your monitor may have the iPC audio configured on for use with specific PC applications.WARNINGAlways minimize the iPC audio volume or mute it completely when it is not needed for an iPC application. This will avoid iPC tones distracting from or masking tones from the monitor.Using Input Devices with the iPC and MonitorYou can connect input devices such as a mouse, trackball and keyboard to the rear of the patient monitor (using the left hand row of USB connectors) and use them for input to the monitor. Correspondingly you can connect input devices to the rear of the patient monitor (using the right hand row of USB connectors) or to the front USB connector and use them for the iPC. Sharing input devices and touchscreen input requires a specific software application; refer to the XDS/iPC Instructions for Use for details. If the iPC is switched off when input devices are shared, any input devices connected to it will not be available for use with the monitor.Shutting the iPC DownThe iPC will be shut down automatically when the monitor is switched off.If you want to shut down the iPC when the monitor is on, 1Select Main Setup then Internal PC.2In the Internal PC menu, select Switch PC Off. If there is a problem with the shutdown, and you need to switch off the iPC manually, 1Select Main Setup then Internal PC.2In the Internal PC menu, select Force PC Off to force the iPC to power down.Special Situations at Shutdown• If you switch the monitor off and then on again immediately, the iPC will continue running and will not be shut down.
1 Introduction46• In some situations, shutting down the iPC can take a little time. The monitor will go into Standby mode until the shutdown is complete. By touching the touchscreen, you can bring the monitor back into operating mode. If you do this, the iPC will restart when the shutdown is complete.• If the shutdown cannot be completed within a certain time, a window will open giving the reason: for example, that a file has not been saved, or that updates are being installed. You can then decide whether to wait (for example, in the case of the updates) or to take action (for example by saving the unsaved file). You will also have the option to force shutdown, if necessary. Using the X2 or MP5 with a Host MonitorWhen you connect an X2 or MP5 in companion mode to a host monitor, an integrated system is formed for monitoring a single patient. The following general observations and considerations apply to such a system:• The host monitor is the "master" of the system, and you have full control over all the system's operation only via the host monitor.• Functions you can operate on a monitor in companion mode are restricted to measurements originating in that device. If you try to operate controls that are disabled, you are prompted by the message Not available in Companion Mode.• Depending on how it is configured, your host monitor can determine whether the user interface of a connected monitor in companion mode is completely disabled or not, and what is displayed on the screen (a standard main screen, or a blank screen indicating Companion Mode).This is controlled by two monitor settings that are applied to the monitor in companion mode on connection. You can change the settings in Configuration Mode.• Global settings such as line frequency, QRS sound and ECG lead colors from the host monitor, are applied to the monitor in companion mode on connection. When disconnected from the host, the monitor in companion mode re-applies its own global settings.• No audible alarms are available on a monitor in companion mode when connected to a host monitor. The only visual alarm indication is provided by the alarm lamps which are controlled by the host monitor. Alarms become active again as soon as the monitor in companion mode is disconnected from the host monitor.• The host monitor is the master of all ADT information. ADT operations on the monitor in companion mode are disabled, and any pending actions on the monitor in companion mode (for example, admit or end case) are canceled.• The date and time of the monitor in companion mode is synchronized with that of the host monitor.• Event surveillance in the monitor in companion mode is disabled. Main Setup menu operations and SmartKeys are disabled. While connected to a host monitor, no new events are detected in the monitor in companion mode, and no events are deleted. There is no transfer of stored events from the monitor in companion mode to the host monitor. After disconnection from the host monitor, event surveillance is enabled again in the monitor in companion mode, and new events are detected.
2472AlarmsThe alarm information here applies to all measurements. Measurement-specific alarm information is discussed in the sections on individual measurements.The monitor has two different types of alarm: patient alarms and INOPs.Patient AlarmsPatient Alarms are red and yellow alarms. A red alarm indicates a high priority patient alarm such as a potentially life threatening situation (for example, asystole). A yellow alarm indicates a lower priority patient alarm (for example, a respiration alarm limit violation). Additionally there are short yellow alarms, most of which are specific to arrhythmia-related patient conditions (for example, ventricular bigeminy).INOPsINOPs are technical alarms, they indicate that the monitor cannot measure or detect alarm conditions reliably. If an INOP interrupts monitoring and alarm detection (for example, LEADS OFF), the monitor places a question mark in place of the measurement numeric and an audible indicator tone will be sounded. INOPs without this audible indicator indicate that there may be a problem with the reliability of the data, but that monitoring is not interrupted.Most INOPs are light blue, however there are a small number of INOPs which are always yellow or red to indicate a severity corresponding to red and yellow alarms. The following INOPs can also be configured as red or yellow INOPs to provide a severity indication:•ECG LEADS OFF•NBP CUFF OVERPRESS•CUFF NOT DEFLATED•OCCLUSION•TELE DISCONNECTED•Replace TeleBattAll monitors in a unit should have the same severity configured for these INOPs.Alarms are indicated after the alarm delay time. This is made up of the system delay time plus the trigger delay time for the individual measurement. See the specifications section for details.If more than one alarm is active, the alarm messages are shown in the alarm status area in succession. An arrow symbol next to the alarm message informs you that more than one message is active.
2Alarms48The monitor sounds an audible indicator for the highest priority alarm. If more than one alarm condition is active in the same measurement, the monitor announces the most severe. Your monitor may be configured to increase alarm indicator volume automatically during the time when the alarm is not acknowledged.Visual Alarm IndicatorsWARNING• No alarms are available on an X2 or MP5 when connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated). Alarms become active again as soon as the X2 or MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor.• Alarm fields and other visual alarm indicators are disabled on an X2 or MP5 when connected to a host monitor. The only visual alarm indication is provided by the alarm lamps, which are controlled by the host monitor.Alarm MessageAn alarm message text appears in the alarm status area at the top of the screen indicating the source of the alarm. If more than one measurement is in an alarm condition, the message changes every two seconds, and has an arrow ( ) at the side. The background color of the alarm message matches the alarm priority: red for red alarms, yellow for yellow alarms, light blue for standard INOPs, red for red INOPs and yellow for yellow INOPs. The asterisk symbols (*) beside the alarm message match the alarm priority: *** for red alarms, ** for yellow alarms, * for short yellow alarms. Standard INOPs do not have a symbol, red and yellow INOPs have exclamation marks beside the alarm message: !!! for red INOPs and !! for yellow INOPs.Depending on how your monitor is configured, it may display alarm limit violation messages:• in text form, for example ** SpO₂ LOW or• in numeric form, for example **Pulse xxx>yyy where the first number shows the maximum deviation from the alarm limit, and the second number shows the currently set limit.Flashing NumericThe numeric of the measurement in alarm flashes.Bright Alarm LimitsIf the alarm was triggered by an alarm limit violation, the corresponding alarm limit on the monitor screen is shown more brightly if Show ALarmLimits is enabled and there is sufficient room on the screen.Alarm LampA lamp on the monitor's front panel flashes. The alarm lamp is divided into two sections. The right one flashes for a patient alarm, except for short yellow alarms where the lamp will light for approximately six seconds. The color is yellow or red corresponding to the highest priority patient alarm currently present. The left one lights continuously for a light blue INOP and flashes for yellow or red INOPs as follows:
2Alarms49If only patient alarms are present, and no INOPs, the patient alarms will use both left and right sections to flash (for red and yellow alarms) or light for approximately six seconds (for short yellow alarms). If only INOPs are present, and no patient alarms, red and yellow INOPs will use both left and right sections to flash but light blue INOPs will always light continuously in the left section only.Nurse Call SystemsIf configured to do so, red, yellow and light blue alarms are indicated on any device connected to the nurse call relay.Audible Alarm IndicatorsThe audible alarm indicators configured for your monitor depend on which alarm standard applies in your hospital. Audible alarm indicator patterns are repeated until you acknowledge the alarm by switching it off or pausing it, or until the alarm condition ceases (if audible alarm indication is set to non-latching).WARNING• Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level or off during patient monitoring may result in patient danger. Remember that the most reliable method of patient monitoring combines close personal surveillance with correct operation of monitoring equipment.• No audible alarm indicators are available on an X2 or MP5 when connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated). Alarms become active again as soon as the X2 or MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor.Alarm Tone ConfigurationThe audible alarm indicators of your monitor are configurable. In the monitor's Configuration Mode, you can:• increase the alarm volume of unacknowledged alarms at regular intervals• change the interval between alarm sounds (ISO/IEC Standard alarms only)• change the base volume of the red and yellow alarm tones and the INOP tones• change the alarm sound to suit the different alarm standards valid in different countries.Traditional Audible Alarms (HP/Agilent/Philips/Carenet)• Red alarms and red INOPs: A high pitched sound is repeated once a second. • Two-star yellow alarms and yellow INOPs: A lower pitched sound is repeated every two seconds.• One-star yellow alarms (short yellow alarms): The audible indicator is the same as for yellow alarms, but of shorter duration.INOP Lamp Color On OffYellow 1.0 seconds 1.0 secondsRed 0.25 seconds 0.25 seconds
2Alarms50• Standard INOPs: an INOP tone is repeated every two seconds.ISO/IEC Standard Audible Alarms• Red alarms and red INOPs: A high pitched tone is repeated five times, followed by a configurable pause.• Two-star yellow alarms and yellow INOPs: A lower pitched tone is repeated three times, followed by a configurable pause.• One-star yellow alarms (short yellow alarms): The audible indicator is the same as for yellow alarms, but of shorter duration.• Standard INOPs: a lower pitched tone is repeated twice, followed by a pause.Changing the Alarm Tone Volume• The alarm volume symbol at the top right of the monitor screen gives you an indication of the current volume.To change the volume, select the volume symbol and then select the required volume from the pop-up selection.• If you want to see a numerical indication of the current alarm volume on a scale from zero to 10, or change the setting, select the Alarm Volume SmartKey.The volume scale pops up. The current setting is indented. To change the setting, select the required number on the scale. Any settings that are inactive ("grayed out") have been disabled in the monitor's Configuration Mode.• When the alarm volume is set to zero (off), the alarm volume symbol reflects this.If you switch the alarm volume off, you will not get any audible indication of alarm conditions.There is no alarm volume indication on the screen of an X2 or MP5 when connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated).Minimum Volume for No Central Monitoring INOPIf your monitor is connected to an Information Center, and the connection is interrupted, the INOP message No Central Monit. will appear within 30 seconds, accompanied by an INOP tone. To help ensure that this INOP, and any other active alarm, is not overlooked, the INOP and alarm tones may be configured to have a minimum volume. In this case, INOP and alarm tones will sound even if the monitor alarm volume is set to zero.Minimum Volume for Severe Yellow or Red INOPsSevere yellow or red INOPs require action to ensure the well-being of the patient. Therefore the minimum volume for the INOP tone is set to at least alarm volume 8, irrespective of the current alarm volume setting. The INOP tone will sound even if the monitor alarm volume is set to zero.
2Alarms51The severe INOPs for which this applies are:CUFF NOT DEFLATED (configurable to yellow or red)NBP CUFF OVERPRESS (configurable to yellow or red)!!INSERT BATTERY - X2 (yellow)Power Loss ToneWhen power is lost - no power is available via the power cable - a buzzer will sound, if so configured. The tone can be silenced by pressing the On/Off power switch.Acknowledging AlarmsTo acknowledge all active alarms and INOPs, select the Silence permanent key. This switches off the audible alarm indicators and alarm lamps.Alternatively, you can acknowledge alarms by pressing the Silence hardkey on the MMS or on the SpeedPoint. The hardkeys follow the behavior configured for the permanent key.A check mark beside the alarm message indicates that the alarm has been acknowledged . If the monitor is configured to re-alarm, a dashed check mark will be shown .If the condition that triggered the alarm is still present after the alarm has been acknowledged, the alarm message stays on the screen with a check mark symbol beside it, except for NBP alarms and alarms from other intermittent measurements. When such an alarm is acknowledged the alarm message disappears.If the alarm condition is no longer present, all alarm indicators stop and the alarm is reset.Switching off the alarms for the measurement in alarm, or switching off the measurement itself, also stops alarm indication.Acknowledging Disconnect INOPsAcknowledging an INOP that results from a disconnected transducer switches off the associated measurement, unless the monitor is configured to not allow this. The only exception is ECG/Resp: acknowledging a disconnect INOP for ECG leads does not switch off the ECG and Resp measurements. Acknowledging a disconnect INOP at the Information Center switches off the audible INOP indicator but does not switch off the measurement.Unplugging an MMS or a plug-in module automatically switches off its measurements.
2Alarms52Alarm ReminderIf Alarm Reminder is configured on for your monitor, you will get an audible reminder of alarm conditions that remain active after you have acknowledged the alarm. This reminder may take the form of a repetition of the alarm tone for a limited time, or an unlimited repetition of the alarm tone (this is the same as a new alarm). Alarm Reminder is not available for standard, light blue INOPs but for yellow and red INOPs.In Configuration Mode, you can set the interval between silencing the alarm and sounding the reminder tone to one, two, or three minutes.The alarm reminder behavior at the Information Center is different to that at the monitor. Refer to the Information Center Instructions for Use for further information.Pausing or Switching Off AlarmsIf you want to temporarily prevent alarms from sounding, for example while you are moving a patient, you can pause alarms. Depending on your monitor configuration, alarms are paused for one, two, or three minutes, or infinitely.To view the alarm pause setting chosen for your unit,1Select Main Setup, Alarms, then Alarm Settings2Check the Alarms Off setting.This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.To Pause All Alarms• Select the Pause Alarms permanent key. If your monitor is configured to infinite pause time, the permanent key is labeled Alarms Off, and selecting it switches alarms off.• Or press the Alarms hardkey on the SpeedPoint or Navigation Point. The hardkey follows the behavior configured for the permanent key.Depending on the configuration, you may need to select Confirm to complete the change.To Switch All Alarms OffYou can only switch alarms off permanently if your monitor is configured to allow infinite alarms pause and the permanent key is labeled Alarms Off.• Select the Alarms Off permanent key.• Or press the Alarms hardkey on the SpeedPoint or Navigation Point. The hardkey follows the behavior configured for the permanent key.Depending on the configuration, you may need to select Confirm to complete the change.Pausing alarms infinitely is the same as switching them off.
2Alarms53To Switch Individual Measurement Alarms On or Off1Select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu.2Select Alarms to switch between on and off.The alarms off symbol is shown beside the measurement numeric.While Alarms are Paused or Off• The red Alarms Paused lamp on the monitor front panel is lit.In the alarm field, the monitor displays the message ALARMS PAUSED 1:28 or ALARMS OFF, together with the alarms paused symbol or the alarms off symbol.• No alarms are sounded and no alarm messages are shown.• INOP messages are shown but no INOP tones are sounded.The only exceptions are the INOPs CUFF NOT DEFLATED, NBP CUFF OVERPRESS and INOPs relating to empty, missing and malfunctioning batteries.These INOPs switch the alarms on, and the INOP tones are sounded, even if alarms are paused or off. You need to remove the INOP condition first before you can switch the alarm tones off again.• The nurse call relay is not active.If a disconnect INOP is present and alarms are paused or switched off, the measurement in question may be switched off, depending on monitor configuration.Restarting Paused AlarmsTo manually switch on alarm indication again after a pause, select the permanent key Pause Alarms (or Alarms Off) again.Alarm indication starts again automatically after the pause period expires. If the monitor is configured to stay paused infinitely, you must select Alarms Off again to restart alarm indication.Resetting Arrhythmia Alarm TimeoutsTo reset the arrhythmia alarm timeout period, select the Alarms Off or Pause Alarms permanent key and then reselect it. Alarms Paused Alarms Off
2Alarms54Extending the Alarm Pause TimeIf your monitor has extended alarm pause enabled, you can extend the alarm pause time. Use this to prevent alarms being indicated, for example, while you are washing a patient or carrying out a procedure. Only extend the alarm pause time when you are sure that clinical personnel are available to monitor the patient's condition closely.To extend the alarm pause time to five or 10 minutes,1Select one of the alarm fields. This calls up the Alarm Messages window.2Select either the pop-up key PauseAl. 5 Min or the pop-up key PauseAl. 10 Min. Each time you select one of these pop-up keys, the Alarm Pause Time is reset to five (or 10) minutes.Alarm LimitsThe alarm limits you set determine the conditions that trigger yellow and red limit alarms. For some measurements (for example, BIS and SpO2), where the value ranges from 100 to 0, setting the high alarm limit to 100 switches the high alarm off, or setting the low alarm limit to 0 switches it off. In these cases, the alarms off symbol is not displayed.WARNINGBe aware that the monitors in your care area may each have different alarm settings, to suit different patients. Always check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient before you start monitoring.Viewing Individual Alarm LimitsYou can usually see the alarm limits set for each measurement next to the measurement numeric on the main screen. If your monitor is not configured to show the alarm limits next to the numeric, you can see them in the appropriate measurement setup menu. Select the measurement numeric to enter the menu and check the limits.Viewing All Alarm LimitsThe Alarm Limits overview window lists the currently set alarm limits for all measurements. If an Apnea alarm delay time is set, this is also shown. The alarms off symbol is shown beside the measurement label of any measurement whose alarm switched off.To open the Alarm Limits window, either select any alarm field to open the Alarm Messages window, then select the Alarm Limits pop-up key, or select the Alarm Limits SmartKey, if configured.

This calls up a list of available values for the alarm limit.2Select a value from the list to adjust the alarm limit.Alternatively, you can use the keys in the measurement alarm limits window, which you access by selecting the measurement label in the Alarm Limits window.
2Alarms56TTo change alarm limits,1Enter the Alarm Limits window.2Using touch: to set the high alarm limit, select the high yellow alarm field to open a pop-up list of high alarm limits. Select a limit from the list. Repeat to set the low yellow alarm field.Using a SpeedPoint or Navigation Point: position the cursor in the high yellow alarm field, then press the knob inwards. Rotate the knob to the left or right to adjust the limit. Press the knob again to set the displayed limit. Repeat to set the low yellow alarm limit.If you set the yellow alarm limit outside the red alarm limit, the monitor will automatically adapt the red alarm limit.When an ST measurement is in the alarm limits window there are also two pop-up keys available labeled All ST Narrow/All ST Wide. With these keys you can set Auto Limits for all ST Leads.1Parameter label2High red alarm (view only)3High yellow alarm field.

2Alarms57About Automatic Alarm LimitsThe monitor can automatically set alarm limits suited to your individual patient, using the Automatic Alarm Limits function (AutoLimits). This tells the monitor to adapt the alarm limits of selected measurements to the measured vital signs within a defined safe limit. The monitor calculates safe AutoLimits for each patient based on the measured values from the last 12 seconds.The wide and narrow limits have a fixed relationship to the measured value within the non-pathological range. Outside of this range, no auto limits are calculated. To set values outside of the non-pathological range, limits must be changed manually, based on the clinician's judgment about the specific patient.Limits Narrow sets limits close to the currently measured values for situations where it is critical for you to be informed about small changes in your patient's vital signs.Limits Wide sets limits further away from the currently measured values for situations where small changes are not so critical.Use the keys in the measurement alarm limits window to apply AutoLimits for individual measurements. These keys are not available if AutoLimits have been disabled for the measurement in the monitor's Configuration Mode.AutoLimits are not available for all measurements. The list of measurements for which AutoLimits can be used is defined in the monitor's Configuration mode.Use the measurement alarm limits window to check AutoLimits before you apply them to ensure that they are appropriate for your individual patient and their clinical condition. Once applied, AutoLimits are shown on the monitor screen just like manually-set alarm limits. If the AutoLimits are not appropriate for your patient, you must set alarm limits manually. The limits remain unchanged until you set them again or change them manually.About Smart Alarm DelaysThe monitor can be configured to apply a delay before announcing limit alarms. The delay is calculated using an intelligent algorithm. This capability can be used to suppress alarms which occur because a limit is exceeded for a short time or by a small amount. Currently, Smart Alarm Delays are available only for SpO2 limit alarms and are not available in the U.S.A. or in clinical environments under FDA control. See the Monitoring SpO2 chapter for details.1Wide alarm limits2Narrow alarm limits3Alarm Limits4Measurement value
2Alarms58WARNINGBefore using Smart Alarm Delays, make sure that you fully understand how the delay is applied and what the consequences are.Documenting Alarm LimitsThe alarm limits pop-up keys appear with the Alarm Limits and measurement alarm limits windows.• Select the Print Limits pop-up key to print an overview of all alarm limits on a connected printer.• Select the Record Limits pop-up key to send a recording of the alarm limits to a recorder.Reviewing AlarmsYou can see which alarms and INOPs are currently active in the respective alarms and INOPs fields at the top of the screen.To see the currently active alarms and INOPs listed in one place, select any of the alarm status areas on the monitor screen. The Alarm Messages window pops up.All alarms and INOPs are erased from the Alarm Messages window when you discharge a patient, or if you change to Demonstration Mode.Alarm Messages WindowThe Alarm Messages window shows all the currently active alarms and INOPs sorted by priority, beginning at the top with the most recent. INOPs are shown on the left hand side and patient alarms are shown on the right hand side. Any active red alarms are shown first, followed by yellow alarms. Acknowledged alarms or INOPs are shown with the check mark symbol.The Alarm Messages window pop-up keys appear when the window is opened. If alarm pause extension is disabled, the pause pop-up keys are inactive ("grayed-out"). Selecting the Review Alarms pop-up key opens the Review Alarms window.If you do not immediately understand an INOP or alarm message, refer to its help text.•In the Alarm Messages window, select the INOP message. This calls up a help window with an explanation of the INOP message and, where appropriate, a suggested solution for the problem.• If the alarm or INOP was generated in a device other than the monitor (for instance, in an MMS or FMS), this source is specified at the end of the help text.Review Alarms WindowThe Review Alarms window contains a list of the most recent alarms and INOPs with date and time information.If configured to do so, each alarm is shown with the alarm limit active when the alarm was triggered and the maximum value measured beyond this limit. The Review Alarms window also shows when the monitor was switched on (after being switched off for longer than 1 minute) and any actions related to switching alarms on and off, entering or leaving Standby mode, silencing alarms or changing the ECG source.
2Alarms59When you select an item from the list, you can get additional information about that item. If you select a high or low limit alarm in the list, the Graphical Trends window will open to provide further data. If you select an alarm resulting from an event alarm notification, the Event Episode window for that event will open. If you select an alert other than a high or low alarm, a help text window opens with more information. This is the same as the help text window that opens in the Alarm Messages window. Some items in the list are simply log items not related to a patient alert as such (for example, Alarms On or Alarms Off). You cannot see any further information if you select one of these items. When you close these windows you will return to the Review Alarms window.The information in the Review Alarms window is deleted when a patient is discharged, and when you leave Demonstration Mode.The Review Alarms window pop-up keys appear when the window is opened. If alarm pause extension is disabled, the pause pop-up keys are inactive. Selecting the Active Alarms pop-up key opens the Alarm Messages window.Latching AlarmsThe alarm latching setting for your monitor defines how the alarm indicators behave when you do not acknowledge them. When alarms are set to non-latching, their indicators end when the alarm condition ends. Switching alarm latching on means that visual and/or audible alarm indications are still displayed or announced by the monitor after the alarm condition ends. The indication lasts until you acknowledge the alarm.Viewing the Alarm Latching SettingsTo see the alarm latching setting for your monitor1In the monitor's Main Setup menu, select Alarms.2Select Alarm Settings, and see the Visual Latching and Audible Latching settings.This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. You should be aware of the settings chosen for your unit. There are three possible choices each for visual and audible latching, red, red and yellow, and off. These choices can be combined to give the following settings:Visual Latching Audible LatchingRed&Yellow Red&YellowRed&Yellow Red OnlyRed&Yellow OffRed Only Red OnlyRed Only OffOff Off
2Alarms60Alarm Latching BehaviorAll INOPs are non-latching. See “Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms” on page 134 for information on one-star yellow alarms latching behavior.Testing AlarmsWhen you switch the monitor on, a selftest is started. You must check that the alarms lamps light, one after the other, and that you hear a single tone. This indicates that the visible and audible alarm indicators are functioning correctly. For further testing of individual measurement alarms, perform the measurement on yourself (for example SpO2 or CO2) or use a simulator. Adjust alarm limits and check that appropriate alarm behavior is observed.Alarm Behavior at Power OnIf the monitor is switched off for longer than one minute and then switched on again (or after a loss of power lasting longer than one minute, or when a patient is discharged), the monitor can be configured to:• restore the alarm settings from the monitor's configured default Profile,• restore the most recently used alarm settings, or • switch the alarms off. After any of these situations, you should check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient and monitoring situation, and if necessary, select the correct Profile and patient category.If power is lost for less than one minute, the alarm on/off condition prior to the power loss is restored.Red & Yellow Measurement AlarmsNon-latching alarms Visual and audible latchingVisual latching, audible non-latchingAlarm has not been acknowledged.Alarm condition still present.Alarm tone on.

3633Patient Alarms and INOPsThis chapter lists patient alarms alphabetically, and technical alarms (INOPs) arranged by the source of the INOP and then alphabetically, irrespective of their priority. All alarms and INOPs are listed here; the ones which can appear on your monitor will depend on the model and the individual options.For information on alarms and INOPs from the gas modules refer to your Gas Module Instructions for Use.Patient Alarm MessagesThe measurement labels and abbreviations for pressure, temperature, SpO2, and anesthetic agent alarms are explained in the individual chapters. Some alarms may be shown at the Information Center in shortened form, when transferred through IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry. These shortened alarm texts are included in the list and identified with the note "at Information Center".Note that yellow arrhythmia alarms may be shown with one or with two stars, depending on your monitor configuration and the Information Center revision you are using.Refer to your IntelliBridge Device Driver Instructions for Use for patient alarms from connected external devices.Refer to your Gas Module Instructions for Use for patient alarms and INOPs from the gas modules.Alarm Message From Condition Indication* AFIB** AFIBECG/Arrhythmia Atrial fibrillation waveform detected yellow alarm lamp, short yellow audible alarm*** APNEA*** APNEA x:yy*** APNEA >10minCO2, Resp, SpirometryRespiration has stopped for longer than the preset apnea time.

4934Managing PatientsUse the Patient Demographics window and its associated pop-up keys to admit, discharge, and transfer (ADT) patients.All patient demographic and ADT information is shared between the patient monitor and the Information Center, for example, patients admitted to the monitor are automatically admitted to a connected Information Center.Note that when an X2 or MP5 monitor is connected to a host monitor, its ability to admit or discharge a patient is disabled, and the host monitor controls patient demographic and ADT information.Admitting a PatientThe monitor displays physiological data and stores it in the trends as soon as a patient is connected. This lets you monitor a patient who is not yet admitted. It is however important to admit patients properly so that you can identify your patient on recordings, reports, and networked devices.During admission you enter data that the monitor needs for safe and accurate operation. For example, the patient category setting determines the algorithm the monitor uses to process and calculate some measurements, the safety limits that apply for some measurements, and the alarm limit ranges.NOTEIt is strongly recommended that the same patient data fields be configured to be mandatory at the monitor and the Information Center.To admit a patient,1Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrg SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window.2Clear any previous patient data by selecting the Dischrge Patient or End Case pop-up key and then Confirm.If you do not discharge the previous patient, you will not be able to distinguish data from the previous and current patients, for example, in the trend database.3Select Admit Patient.4Enter the patient information: select each field and use the on-screen keyboard or choose from the pop-up list of alternatives to input information.If a conventional keyboard or a barcode scanner is connected to the monitor you can use this to enter patient information.–Last Name: Enter the patient's last name (family name), for example Doe.–First Name: Enter the patient's first name, for example Doe, John.
4 Managing Patients94–Middle Name (if configured to appear): Enter the patient's middle name.–Lifetime Id, Encounter Id: Whether these fields appear and how they are labeled can be configured for your hospital. One or both fields may be displayed and the labels may read: MRN, Case Id, Visit Id, etc. Enter the appropriate data for the fields displayed.–Patient Cat.: Choose the patient category, either Adult, Pedi, or Neo.–Paced: Choose Yes or No (You must use Yes if your patient has a pacemaker).–Height: Enter the patient's height.–Weight: Enter the patient's weight.–BSA: The monitor calculates the body surface area automatically.–Date Of Birth: Enter the patient's date of birth. Enter this in the form dd/mm/yyyy.–Age: The monitor calculates the patient age automatically.–Gender: Choose Male or Female.–Notes (1) / Notes (2): Enter any extra information about the patient or treatment.Select Confirm. The patient's name appears on the monitor info line at the top of the screen.Patient Category and Paced StatusThe patient category setting determines the algorithm the monitor uses to process and calculate some measurements, the safety limits that apply for some measurements, and the alarm limit ranges.The paced setting determines whether the monitor shows pacemaker pulses or not. When Paced is set to No, pace pulses are filtered and therefore do not show in the ECG wave.WARNINGPatient Cat. and Paced status will always contain a value, regardless of whether the patient is fully admitted or not. If you do not specify settings for these fields, the monitor uses the default settings from the current profile, which might not be correct for your patient.Patient categoryChanging the patient category may change the arrhythmia and NBP alarm limits. Always check alarm limits to make sure that they are appropriate for your patient.Paced statusFor paced patients, you must set Paced to Yes. If it is incorrectly set to No, the monitor could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm during asystole.Admitting a Centrally-Monitored PatientYou can admit a patient at either the bedside or the Information Center. When you admit a patient, the patient's name appears on the bedside monitor and the Information Center.If you do not fill in all patient information required by the Information Center, the Information Center may reject the admission. Complete all the required fields and try again to admit the patient.Quick Admitting a PatientUse Quick Admit only if you do not have the time or information to fully admit a patient. Complete the rest of the patient demographic details later.1Select the Quick Admit SmartKey.
4 Managing Patients952Enter the required data (ID fields or last name depending on configuration) with the keyboard or a barcode scanner.3Select Enter.4In the confirmation window, select Confirm to discharge the previous patient (if confirmation is configured).5Check that patient category and paced status are correct for the new patient.If the monitor is connected to an Information Center and only the ID field is entered, the patient name is set to - - - at the Information Center. Complete the rest of the demographic details as soon as possible to fully identify the patient on the network, on the monitor and on printed reports. To complete the details, select Admit Patient again and complete all required fields.Editing Patient InformationTo edit the patient information after a patient has been admitted, select the patient name field on the Main Screen to open the Patient Demographics window, and make the required changes.Discharging a PatientWARNINGAlways perform a discharge before starting monitoring for a new patient, even if your previous patient was not admitted. Failure to do so can lead to data being attributed to the wrong patient.A discharge:– clears the information in the Patient Demographics window– erases all patient data (such as trend, event, and calculation data) from the monitor, measurement modules and Information Center. This ensures that data from a previous patient are not mixed with data from the new patient.– resets patient category and paced settings to the settings defined in the default Profile– resets all monitor and measurement settings as well as the active Screen to the settings defined in the default Profile– discharges the patient from the Information Center.When a patient is discharged from the monitor or from an Information Center, all patient data is deleted. Make sure that you have printed out any required reports before discharging. Check that a functioning local or central printer is available before you use End Case.To Discharge a Patient1Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrg SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window and associated pop-up keys.2Select the pop-up key for either:–End Case - to print any configured end case reports or vital signs recording, discharge the patient and clear the patient database, then enter standby mode. If an End Case SmartKey is configured for your monitor, you can also select this instead and then confirm.To see which end case reports are set up for your monitor, select Main Setup, Reports, then Auto Reports. For each auto report, if End Case Report is set to On, this report will be
4 Managing Patients96printed when you select End Case. See the section on AutoReports for information on setting up end case reports.–Dischrge Patient - to discharge the patient without printing any reports.New Patient CheckThe monitor can be configured to ask you in certain situations:• after a specified power-off period• after a specified standby period• when no basic vitals (HR, RR, Pulse, SpO2, NBP) have been measured for a specified periodwhether a new patient is now being monitored. The pop-up window is entitled Is This A New Patient?. The monitor offers a Yes key to discharge the previous patient and begin monitoring a new patient and a No key to continue monitoring with the current patient data and settings.The time periods for the three conditions can be configured independently.Transferring PatientsTo save you from having to enter the same patient data multiple times and enable patient transfer without loss of data, information can be shared between Multi-Measurement Modules (MMS), patient monitors, and Information Centers.– patient demographic information is shared between connected MMSs, patient monitors, and Information Centers– measurement settings and calibration data can be uploaded from an MMS to a patient monitor, if configured– trend information can be uploaded from an MMS to a patient monitor, if configured.Different sets of patient and measurement-related data are stored in the monitor and the Multi-Measurement Module. Understanding this will help you to understand what happens to patient data when you transfer patients.Patient Information Stored in Monitor Stored in MMS and extensionsPatient demographics (name, DOB, patient IDs)yes yesMonitor settings (alarm pause time, alarm volume)yes no
4 Managing Patients97WARNINGIf the monitor is not battery-powered, you cannot monitor during transport.Transferring a Centrally-Monitored PatientScenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved to another monitoring location on the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information.1Before you disconnect the MMS from the monitor, select the patient name field or select the Admit/ Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window, then select the Transfer pop-up key. If the patient is not admitted or not monitored by an Information Center, the Transfer key is inactive ("grayed-out").This step preserves the patient's demographic data during the transfer.2Remove the MMS and any connected extensions from the monitor.3Connect the MMS to the transfer monitor and monitor your patient during the move.4At the new location, connect the MMS to the monitor. If the monitor detects a patient mismatch, a window will open showing your patient's data and asking whether to Complete Transfer Of This Patient?.5Select Yes to complete the transfer. This re-admits the patient from the transfer list to the new monitor. This will upload the patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the MMS to the receiving monitor.6Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct.Measurement settings for all measurements (alarm limits, measurement on/off, etc.)yes yes, for all MMS and extensions measurementsTrend data yes, for all MMS and extensions measurements (up to a maximum of 16 or 32, depending on your database configuration)most recent 8 hours of information, for all MMS and extensions measurementsCalculation data (HemoCalc data)yes noEvents data yes noPatient Information Stored in Monitor Stored in MMS and extensions

This re-admits the patient from the transfer list to the new monitor. This will upload the patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the X2/MP5 to the receiving monitor.6Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct.Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient with X2 or MP5 using IITWARNINGMeasurements from a MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on battery power. They are only available when the X2 is running on external power, either when connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A).Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved with an X2 or MP5 to another monitoring location on the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information. The X2/MP5 has an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface (IIT), is connected to a host monitor, and is declared as a telemetry device at the Information Center.NOTEThe Transfer key is not available while the X2/MP5 is connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated).1Remove the X2/MP5 and any connected extensions from the host monitor.2Move the patient using the X2/MP5 as the transport monitor.3At the new location, just before connecting the X2/MP5 to the new host monitor:– open the Patient Demographics window.– select the Transfer pop-up key.

The monitor detects a patient mismatch and a window will open showing your patient's data and asking Complete Transfer Of This Patient?.5Select Yes to complete the transfer. This re-admits the patient from the transfer list to the new monitor. This will upload the patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the X2/MP5 to the receiving monitor.6Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct.If you accidentally transfer a patient, use Re-Admit to restore this patient's data to the Information Center. If you are not connected to the network, select Clear Transfer to leave transfer mode. The patient data remains in the monitor.Transferring a Patient with an X1 (no Information Center)Scenario: A patient is moved to another monitoring location using a transport monitor and re-admitted at the new monitor.1Disconnect the X1 from the original monitor and silence the resulting UNPLUGGED INOP.If you are sure that the patient will not be returning to this monitor, you should perform a discharge or end-case. This prevents data from the next patient accidentally being mixed up with your current patient's data.2Connect the X1 to the transport monitor and move the patient.3At the new monitoring location, remove the X1 from the transport monitor and connect it to the new monitor.4If prompted, re-admit the patient to the new monitor: in the Select Patient window, select the patient in the X1 to retain the data in the X1. This will upload the patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the X1 to the monitor. Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct.Transferring a Patient with an X2 or MP5 (no Information Center)WARNINGMeasurements from a MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on battery power. They are only available when the X2 is powered from AC mains, either when connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A).Scenario: A patient is moved to another monitoring location using the X2 or MP5 and re-admitted at the new monitor.1Disconnect the X2/MP5 from the original host monitor and silence the resulting UNPLUGGED INOP.If you are sure that the patient will not be returning to this monitor, you should perform a discharge or end-case. This prevents data from the next patient accidentally being mixed up with your current patient's data.2Move the patient using the X2/MP5 as the transport monitor.3At the new monitoring location, connect the X2/MP5 to the new host monitor.4If prompted, re-admit the patient to the new monitor: in the Select Patient window of the new monitor, select the patient in the X2/MP5 to retain the data in the X2/MP5. This will upload the
4 Managing Patients100patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the X2/MP5 to the monitor. Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct.Data Upload from an MMSThe Multi-Measurement Module stores eight hours of patient trend data at one-minute resolution. It also stores patient demographic information and the measurement settings (including the ST baseline) and calibration data for the measurements carried out by the MMS and any connected extensions. This data can be uploaded to an IntelliVue patient monitor, if your monitor is configured to do so and if at least five minutes of trend information is stored in the MMS.Your monitor's data upload settings are defined in Configuration Mode to suit your patient transfer use model.How data is uploaded to the host monitor depends on the configuration mode settings MMS Trend Upload and MMS Sett. Upload.If there is a patient mismatch and you select Continue Monitor, no data will be uploaded from the MMS.Data Exchange Between Information CentersYou can transfer demographic data and trend data from one IIC to another by selecting Transfer on the patient monitor. Trend data is not shared between Information Centers and monitors.Resolving Patient Information MismatchWhen you connect together devices which store patient demographic data, for example:• an MMS and a monitor,• an X2 or MP5 and a host monitor,• a monitor and an Information Center,the system compares patient category, paced status, and unique patient identification in order to synchronize this information. If configured to do so, the monitor indicates a mismatch if the information is not identical.Depending on your monitor's configuration, this mismatch may be automatically resolved or you may have to resolve it manually. If your monitor is configured to resolve mismatches automatically, depending on the configuration, either the monitor or the Multi-Measurement Module data is automatically retained.WARNING1When a monitor is connected to an Information Center by the wireless IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface, the patient data will automatically be merged in the case of a transfer. This means there is no patient discharge at the monitor and settings and trend data will be retained. You will see a message on the monitor and the Patient Demographics window will automatically appear so that you can check the data and change it if necessary.2It is important to resolve the mismatches as soon as they are identified. Failure to do so could result in using incorrect/confusing data to make clinical decisions. Certain settings, for example Paced and Patient Cat., may not match between the Information Center and the monitor. If the Paced status is set incorrectly, the system could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm in
4 Managing Patients101the case of asystole. It is important that the patient category is set correctly so the ECG can be analyzed correctly and initial arrhythmia alarm limits set.In the case where an MP5 or X2 with an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface is declared as a "telemetry device" at the Information Center and is connected to a host monitor, it is important to resolve an existing mismatch between the monitor and the Information Center before disconnecting the MP5/X2. Failure to do so discharges the MP5/X2 and synchronizes the demographics and settings to the Information Center.Manually Resolving Patient MismatchThe patient mismatch is indicated by question marks (???) beside the questionable fields in the Monitor Info Line and in the Select Patient window. The monitor displays a message such as Different patients in Central and Monitor.The Select Patient window automatically opens so you can decide which patient data to use. You do not have to resolve the mismatch immediately, but the indicators remain until you do.For some common mismatch situations, the monitor will simplify the resolution by suggesting a solution for the mismatch. For example, when a patient arrives after transport and the Transfer key has been selected, the monitor will show this patient's data and ask Complete Transfer Of This Patient?. You can then select Yes to complete the transfer. If you select No you will go to the Select Patient window.There can be up to three sets of demographic data in the Select Patient window if the patient is different in the Information Center, monitor, and MMS.After you resolve the mismatch, the monitor displays a confirmation window that shows the patient that has been selected and where data will be erased, if applicable. Confirm your choice. The monitor automatically displays the Patient Demographics window after confirmation. Verify that the settings shown are correct for the patient.Gender, date of birth, height, weight, and nursing notes do not generate a mismatch. If these fields are different on different devices, the monitor resolves them itself. For example, it may take date of birth from the Information Center, whilst taking gender from the MMS. Always check the Patient Demographics after combining patients, to ensure that you are satisfied with the results. Change them if necessary.WARNINGAfter resolving a patient mismatch, check that the monitor settings (especially patient category, paced status and alarm limits) are correct for the patient.Patient Mismatch - If One Set of Patient Data is CorrectIf there is a mismatch between an Information Center and a monitor, or a monitor and an MMS, choose the data set you want to continue using for this patient by selecting one of the sectors in the Select Patient window.

Confirm your choice. The monitor automatically displays the Patient Demographics window after confirmation. Verify that the settings shown are correct for the patient.Patient Mismatch - If Neither Patient Data Set is CorrectA patient mismatch where neither set of patient data is correct might occur if you connect a new MMS to a monitor in order to prepare for a new patient, before you actually start measuring.Select New Patient if you are sure that none of the information is correct. This discharges all patients, erases all data in both the monitor and MMS, resets all settings to the default Profile, and lets you admit a new patient.Patient Mismatch - If Both Patient Data Sets Are CorrectA patient mismatch where both sets of patient data are correct might occur if you admit a new patient at the monitor (or Information Center) before the patient arrives at your unit and then connect the MMS that was used during the patient transport to the monitor.Select Same Patient if the patient information is different, but you are sure it is the same patient. This merges the demographics and updates them in the Information Center, monitor, and MMS, according to this table. Be aware that your monitor may be configured to merge trend data from the MMS and the monitor, and to upload measurement settings from the MMS to the monitor.Patient Information This information is taken from...Patient name the monitor, if the patient was admitted there.

4 Managing Patients103Automatically Resolving Patient MismatchYour monitor can be configured to automatically resolve mismatches in one of two ways.• continue using the patient in the MMS, and delete the old data in the monitor. This is suitable for transport monitors.• continue with the patient in the monitor, and delete the data in the MMS.Care GroupsIf your monitor is connected to an Information Center, you can group bedside monitors into Care Groups. This lets you:• view information on the monitor screen from another bed in the same or in a different Care Group.• be notified of yellow or red alarm conditions at the other beds in the Care Group.• see the alarm status of all the beds in the Care Group on each monitor screen.There are two main types of Care Groups:• standard care group (Bed-based Care Group) - up to 12 patients monitored by up to 4 Information Centers• unit group (Unit-based Care Group) - for a complete unit with up to 64 patients monitored by up to 4 Information CentersMonitors must be assigned to these Care Groups at the Information Center. There is a third care group which can be assigned locally at the bedside. This is the My Central care group which includes all beds (up to 16) from the Information Center your bed is connected to. This care group setting is typically used in facilities with only one Information center. The selection of beds is automatic and cannot be changed.The functions available with Care Groups depend on the Information Center revision your monitors are connected to.

To temporarily disable and re-enable automatic alarm notification at the bedside monitor, for example if you want to carry out a procedure, in Monitoring Mode:1Select the network symbol on the monitor screen to call up the Network menu.2Select Auto Window to toggle between the settings Enabled and Disabled.This setting resets to the default at discharge and when the monitor is switched on. Always re-enable the Auto Window as soon as possible.
51095ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QTMonitoringThe electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart and displays it on the monitor as a waveform and a numeric. This section also tells you about arrhythmia monitoring (see “About Arrhythmia Monitoring” on page 127), ST monitoring (see “About ST Monitoring” on page 137) and QT monitoring (see “About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring” on page 147).Skin Preparation for Electrode PlacementGood electrode-to-skin contact is important for a good, noise-free ECG signal, as the skin is a poor conductor of electricity.1Select sites with intact skin, without impairment of any kind.2Clip or shave hair from sites as necessary.3Wash sites thoroughly with soap and water, leaving no soap residue.We do not recommend using ether or pure alcohol, because this dries the skin and increases the resistance.4Dry skin thoroughly.5Gently abrade the skin using ECG skin preparation paper to remove dead skin cells to improve the conductivity of the electrode site.Connecting ECG Cables1Attach the clips or snaps to the electrodes before placing them. If you are not using pre-gelled electrodes, apply electrode gel to the electrodes before placement.2Place the electrodes on the patient according to the lead placement you have chosen.3Attach the electrode cable to the patient cable.4Plug the patient cable into the white ECG connector. An ECG waveform and numeric appears on the monitor display.
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring110CAUTIONTo protect the monitor from damage during defibrillation, for accurate ECG information and to protect against noise and other interference, use only ECG electrodes and cables specified by Philips.Selecting the Primary and Secondary ECG LeadsThe monitor uses the primary and secondary lead to compute HR and to analyze and detect cardiac arrhythmias. They are also available for recordings and for display on the Information Center.The secondary lead is only used if your monitor is configured for multi-lead (instead of single-lead) arrhythmia analysis.You should choose a lead as primary or secondary lead that has the following characteristics:To select a lead as primary or secondary lead:•In the Setup ECG menu, select Primary or Secondary, then select the appropriate lead. You can assign any available lead whether it is currently displayed or not.Checking Paced StatusIt is important to set the paced status correctly when you start monitoring ECG.♦To change the paced status in the Setup ECG menu, select Paced to toggle between Yes or No.WARNINGPace pulse rejection must be switched on for paced patients by setting Paced to Yes. Switching pace pulse rejection off for paced patients may result in pace pulses being counted as regular QRS complexes, which could prevent an asystole event from being detected. When changing profiles, and at admission/discharge, always check that paced status is correct for the patient.Some pace pulses can be difficult to reject. When this happens, the pulses are counted as a QRS complex, and could result in an incorrect HR and failure to detect cardiac arrest or some arrhythmias. Make sure that pace pulses are detected correctly by checking the pace pulse markers on the display. Keep pacemaker patients under close observation.Understanding the ECG DisplayYour display may be configured to look slightly different.• the QRS complex should be either completely above or below the baseline and it should not be biphasic• the QRS complex should be tall and narrow• the P-waves and T-waves should be less than 0.2 mV

If the pacer spikes have been configured to have a fixed size, they will be displayed in the background as a dotted line.Defibrillator synchronization marks: If an HP/Agilent/Philips defibrillator is connected, or the 2nd Sync Out channel is configured to ECG SyncPuls and a sync cable is plugged in, the synchronization marks (vertical lines on the ECG wave) are shown on the ECG wave. The synchronization marks will be shown in yellow, unless the ECG wave is yellow, then they will be green.ST numerics in ECG wave: ST numerics can be configured to show underneath the ECG wave on the left side.Monitoring Paced PatientsAn ECG optimized for monitoring a paced patient should look like this:You should choose a lead as primary or secondary lead that has these characteristics:1Pacer spikes configured to have a fixed size1Normal Beats2Pace Pulses/Beats
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring112• the normal QRS complex should be either completely above or below the baseline and it should not be biphasic. For paced patients, the QRS complexes should be at least twice the height of pace pulses.• the QRS complex should be tall and narrow• the P-waves and the T-waves should be less than 0.2 mV.For ease of identification on the screen, the pacer spikes can be configured to have a fixed size. They are then shown in the background as a dotted lines. The length of the dotted line is fixed to the wave channel height and is independent of the actual pacer amplitude.Setting the Paced Status (Pace Pulse Rejection)Avoiding Pace Pulse Repolarization TailsSome unipolar pacemakers display pace pulses with repolarization tails. These tails may be counted as QRSs in the event of cardiac arrest or other arrhythmias.If you note a visible repolarization tail, choose a lead that decreases the size of the repolarization tail.Changing the Size of the ECG WaveIf any of the displayed ECG waves is too small or clipped, you can change the size of one or all of the ECG waves on the screen.In the Setup ECG menu, select Paced to toggle between Yes and No.You can also change the paced status in the Patient Demographics window.When Paced is set to Yes:– Pace Pulse Rejection is switched on. This means that pacemaker pulses are not counted as extra QRS complexes.– pace pulse marks are shown on the ECG wave as a small dash (only when the pacer spikes are not configured to have a fixed size).– The paced symbol is displayed on the main screen.When Paced is set to No, pacer spikes are not shown in the ECG wave. Be aware that switching pace pulse rejection off for paced patients may result in pace pulses being counted as regular QRS complexes, which could prevent an asystole event from being detected.PacedNon-Paced1Repolarization tail (note width)
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring113Changing the adjustment factor only changes the visual appearance of the ECG wave on the screen. It does not affect the ECG signal analyzed by the monitor.Comparing the wave size to the 1 mV calibration bar on the ECG wave segment can help you to get an idea of the true ECG signal strength. If you choose a fixed adjustment factor, the 1 mV calibration bar will be the same size for all the displayed ECG waves. If you choose Auto Size, or an individual size using the Size Up/Size Down keys, the calibration bar may be a different size for each wave.To Change the Size of an Individual ECG Wave1Select the wave segment you want to change. This calls up the lead menu for this segment.2In the lead menu, select Size Up to increase wave size or Size Down to decrease the size.Selecting Auto Size lets the monitor choose the optimal adjustment factor for all available ECG waves.To Change the Size of all the ECG WavesTo change the size of all the ECG waves on the screen by a fixed adjustment factor,1In the Setup ECG menu, select Adjust Size.2Select the required adjustment factor from the line of pop-up keys.–Size X0.5 to halve the wave size–Size X1 to display the wave without zoom–Size X2 to double the wave size–Size X4 to multiply the wave size by four–Previous Size: to return one step to the previous size–Auto Size: to let the monitor choose the optimal adjustment factor for all the ECG waves.Changing the Volume of the QRS ToneThe QRS tone is derived from either the HR or Pulse, depending on which is currently selected as the alarm source. The QRS volume can be set from 0 to 10 (0 means off).To change the QRS volume, in the Setup ECG menu select QRS Volume and then select the appropriate volume from the pop-up list.Changing the ECG Filter SettingsThe ECG filter setting defines how ECG waves are smoothed. An abbreviation indicating the filter type is shown underneath the lead label on the monitor display. Filter settings do not affect ST measurement.To change the filter setting, in the Setup ECG menu, select Filter and then select the appropriate setting.–Monitor: Use under normal measurement conditions.–Ext. Monitor: Use when diagnostic quality is required but low frequency interference or a wandering baseline may be expected. The upper edge frequency is the same as the Diag setting and the lower edge frequency is the same as the Monitor setting.–Filter: The filter reduces interference to the signal. It should be used if the signal is distorted by high frequency or low frequency interference. High frequency interference usually results in large amplitude spikes making the ECG signal look irregular. Low frequency interference
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring114usually leads to a wandering or rough baseline. In the operating room, the Filter reduces artifacts and interference from electrosurgical units. Under normal measurement conditions, selecting Filter may suppress the QRS complexes too much and thus interfere with the clinical evaluation of the ECG displayed on the monitor. This does not affect the ECG analysis performed by the monitor.If AutoFilter is set to On in Configuration Mode, the filter setting will automatically be set to Filter if electromagnetic interference is detected.–Diag: Use when diagnostic quality is required. The unfiltered ECG wave is displayed so that changes such as R-wave notching or discrete elevation or depression of the ST segments are visible.The setting Diag selects the highest available ECG bandwidth which is 0.05 to 150 Hz for the Adult, Pedi and Neo patient category. The term "diagnostic" relates only to the ECG bandwidth requirements for diagnostic electrocardiographic devices as outlined in the ANSI/AAMI standard EC11-1991.Selecting Positions of Va and Vb Chest Leads (for 6-lead placement)The two chest leads for the 6-lead placement can be positioned at any two of the V1 to V6 positions. Select the positions you have used in the Setup ECG menu, so that the chest leads will be correctly labeled.1In the Setup ECG menu, select Va Lead.2Select the position used from the list.3Select Vb Lead and select the position used from the list.Choosing EASI or Standard Lead PlacementYou must enable either standard lead placement or EASI lead placement.•In the Setup ECG menu, select Lead Placement and then Standard or EASI.EASI is shown beside the 1 mV calibration bar on the ECG wave on the display, and EASI is marked on any recorder strips and printouts.See the section on “EASI ECG Lead Placement” on page 123 for electrode placement diagrams.About ECG LeadsTo make it possible to compare measured ECG signals, the electrodes (or lead sets) are placed in standardized positions, forming so-called "leads". To obtain ECG signals optimized for use in diagnosis and patient management in different care environments, different lead sets in varying lead placements can be used. You can use either standard lead placements or EASI lead placements with this monitor.When placing electrodes, choose a flat, non-muscular site where the signal will not be interfered with by either movement or bones. Correct lead placement is always important for accurate diagnosis. Especially in the precordial leads, which are close to the heart, QRS morphology can be greatly altered if an electrode is moved away from its correct location.
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring115ECG Leads MonitoredChanging Lead SetsTo change the ECG lead set,•When adding leads: place the additional electrodes as required - the monitor automatically recognizes the new lead placement.•When removing leads: there are two possibilities - removing the complete chest leads block or removing individual leads. If you unplug the chest lead block from the trunk cable connector, the monitor will automatically recognize the new lead placement. Remove individual leads by removing the electrodes. The monitor will issue a LEAD OFF INOP message; select New Lead Setup in the Setup ECG menu and the INOP message will disappear.ECG Lead FallbackIf fallback is configured on and there is a leads off INOP in the primary lead (and in the secondary lead, if you are using multi-lead monitoring) for longer than 10 seconds, and if another lead is available, this available lead automatically becomes the primary lead. This is known as lead fallback. When the Leads Off condition is corrected, the leads are automatically switched back.This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.ECG Lead PlacementsThe labels and colors of the ECG electrodes differ according to the standards that apply for your hospital. The electrode placement illustrations in this chapter use the AAMI labels and colors.If you are using these leads are available: Resp is measured between electrodes:a 3-electrode set I, II, III RA and LLa 5-electrode set I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V and MCL RA and LLa 6-electrode set I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, Va, Vb RA and LLa 10-electrode set I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 RA and LLan EASI 5-electrode set I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 I and AElectrode labels Electrode colorsAAMI EASI IEC AAMI IECRA I R White RedLA S L Black YellowLL A F Red GreenRL N N Green BlackVECBrown WhiteV1 C1 Brown/Red White/Red

The two chest leads, Va and Vb, can be positioned at any two of the V1 to V6 positions shown in the chest electrode diagram below. The Va and Vb lead positions chosen must be selected in the Setup ECG Menu to ensure correct labeling.1RA placement: directly below the clavicle and near the right shoulder2LA placement: directly below the clavicle and near the left shoulder3RL placement: on the right lower abdomen4LL placement: on the left lower abdomen5V placement: on the chest, the position depends on your required lead selection
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring118Chest Electrode PlacementFor accurate chest electrode placement and measurement, it is important to locate the fourth intercostal space. 1Locate the second intercostal space by first palpating the Angle of Lewis (the little bony protuberance where the body of the sternum joins the manubrium). This rise in the sternum is where the second rib is attached, and the space just below this is the second intercostal space.2Palpate and count down the chest until you locate the fourth intercostal space.10-Lead PlacementWhen monitoring 12-leads of ECG, using a 10-Electrode Lead Placement, it is important to correctly place electrodes and to label all 12-lead ECG reports with the correct lead placement.V1 on the fourth intercostal space at the right sternal borderV2 on the fourth intercostal space at the left sternal borderV3 midway between the V2 and V4 electrode positionsV4 on the fifth intercostal space at the left midclavicular lineV5 on the left anterior axillary line, horizontal with the V4 electrode positionV6 on the left midaxillary line, horizontal with the V4 electrode positionV3R -V6R on the right side of the chest in positions corresponding to those on the leftVE over the xiphoid processV7 on posterior chest at the left posterior axillary line in the fifth intercostal spaceV7R on posterior chest at the right posterior axillary line in the fifth intercostal spaceA - Angle of Lewis
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring119Conventional 12-Lead ECGIn conventional 12-Lead ECG using 10 electrodes, an electrode is placed on the right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg. Six V- electrodes are placed on the chest. The right leg electrode is the reference electrode.Limb electrodes:– Place arm electrodes on the inside of each arm, between the wrist and the elbow.– Place leg electrodes inside of each calf, between the knee and the ankle.Chest electrodes:V1 - on the 4th intercostal space at the right sternal borderV2 - on the 4th intercostal space at the left sternal borderV3 - midway between the V2 and V4 electrode positionsV4 - on the 5th intercostal space at the left midclavicular lineV5 - on the left anterior axillary line, horizontal with the V4 electrode positionV6 - on the left midaxillary line, horizontal with the V4 electrode position1V1 - V62LA3RA4RL5LL
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring120Modified 12-Lead ECGIf your institution uses modified 10 Lead ECG electrode placement (the Mason-Likar Lead System), place the four limb electrodes close to the shoulders and lower abdomen.The six V electrodes are placed on the chest in the same position as the conventional 12-lead placement.Choosing Standard or Modified Electrode PlacementIf your institution uses modified 10 Lead ECG electrode placement (the Mason-Likar Lead System), you must switch Mod.LeadPlacment to On in the monitor. To do this,•in the Setup ECG menu, select Mod.LeadPlacment to toggle between On and Off.– When Mod.LeadPlacment is set to On, 12 Lead ECG Reports will be labeled 12 Lead ECG Report (Mason-Likar), and captured 12-lead ECGs will be labeled Mason-Likar to the right of the bandwidth annotation at the Information Center.– When Mod.LeadPlacment is set to Off, 12 Lead ECG Reports will be labeled 12 Lead ECG Report (Standard), and captured 12-lead ECGs will not be annotated at the Information Center.WARNINGDo not use ECG analysis interpretation statements and measurements for 12-lead ECGs obtained using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement. This may lead to misdiagnosis since the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement does not look the same as the conventional 12-lead ECG and may mask inferior infarction due to calculated axis, R, P and T wave magnitudes shifts and ST slope.Do not export 12-lead ECGs obtained using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement. Captured 12-Lead ECGs using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement exported from the Information Center are not annotated with the Mason-Likar label.1LA2V1-V63LL4RL5RA6Angle of Lewis

5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring123Capture 12-Lead Pop-up KeysHere is a summary of all the pop-up keys available during 12-Lead ECG procedure:EASI ECG Lead PlacementUsing a standard 5-electrode set in EASI lead placement you can monitor up to 12 standard ECG leads simultaneously and continuously at the bedside. EASI provides a monitoring method for trending ST segment changes that can provide an early indication of ischemia.WARNINGEASI-derived 12-lead ECGs and their measurements are approximations to conventional 12-lead ECGs. As the 12-lead ECG derived with EASI is not exactly identical to the 12-lead conventional ECG obtained from an electrocardiograph, it should not be used for diagnostic interpretations.Respiratory monitoring is also possible with the EASI placement; respiration is measured between the I and A electrodes.Place the electrodes as accurately as possible to obtain the best quality EASI measurements.When EASI lead placement is selected, EASI is shown beside the 1mV calibration bar on the ECG wave on the display, and EASI is marked on any recorder strips and printouts.EASI Monitoring During INOP ConditionsIf one of the derived EASI leads has an INOP condition (for example, LEAD OFF), a flat line is displayed. After 10 seconds, the directly acquired EASI AI, AS, or ES lead (depending on which is available) is displayed with the corresponding lead label. This causes an arrhythmia relearn.Pop-up Keys Selecting this pop-up key lets youAdmit Patient enter the age and gender for the patient in the Patient Demographics window, to allow analysis of the 12-Lead ECG.Change View switch between the single column and two-column display of the realtime wave data.Capture Waves capture the current ECG waves and open the preview window.Show Waves return to the realtime 12-Lead ECG view.Show Preview show the preview of the captured 12-Lead wave data.Setup 12 Lead choose settings for filter, gain, display layout, etc.Enter OrderNo. enter an order number that is stored with the capture and displayed in the title bar of the pop-up keys.Print Report print a 12-Lead report.Store & Send store the captured 12-Lead ECG in the monitor and send it to the Information Center.Show Stored view a previously stored 12-Lead ECG, allowing a visual comparison between the current and the stored data.

In this case, HR alarms cannot be switched off in Monitoring Mode. If you try to switch off the HR alarms, you will see the message To activate enter Config and enable Alarms Off.HR Alarms When Arrhythmia Analysis is Switched OffWhen arrhythmia analysis is switched off, only these HR-related alarms will be detected:• the asystole alarm• the ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia alarm• the extreme tachycardia and extreme bradycardia alarms• the high heart rate and low heart rate alarms.Enhanced Asystole DetectionIn order to improve alarming on asystole under certain conditions, you can set Asystole Detect. in Configuration Mode to Enhanced. In enhanced mode an asystole alarm will be suppressed for up to five seconds if a valid beat-to-beat Pulse is detected from a Pressure.ECG Safety InformationCAUTIONInterference from instruments near the patient and ESU interference can cause problems with the ECG wave. See the monitor specifications for more information.WARNINGDefibrillation and Electrosurgery:Do not touch the patient, or table, or instruments, during defibrillation.After defibrillation, the screen display recovers within 10 seconds if the correct electrodes are used and applied in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.ECG cables can be damaged when connected to a patient during defibrillation. Check cables for functionality before using them again.According to AAMI specifications the peak of the synchronized defibrillator discharge should be delivered within 60 ms of the peak of the R wave. The signal at the ECG output on the IntelliVue patient monitors is delayed by a maximum of 30 ms. Your biomedical engineer should verify that your ECG/Defibrillator combination does not exceed the recommended maximum delay of 60 ms.When using electrosurgical (ES) equipment, never place ECG electrodes near to the grounding plate of the ES device, as this can cause a lot of interference on the ECG signal.General:When you are connecting the electrodes or the patient cable, make sure that the connectors never come into contact with other conductive parts, or with earth. In particular, make sure that all of the ECG electrodes are attached to the patient, to prevent them from contacting conductive parts or earth.
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring127During surgery:Use the appropriate orange electrode ECG safety cable, or lead cable with an orange connector, for measuring ECG in the operating room. These cables have extra circuitry to protect the patient from burns during cautery, and they decrease electrical interference. This also reduces the hazard of burns in case of a defective neutral electrode at the HF device. These cables cannot be used for measuring respiration.Pacemaker failure:During complete heart block or pacemaker failure to pace/capture, tall P-waves (greater than 1/5 of the average R-wave height) may be erroneously counted by the monitor, resulting in missed detection of cardiac arrest.Patients exhibiting intrinsic rhythm:When monitoring paced patients who exhibit only intrinsic rhythm, the monitor may erroneously count pace pulses as QRS complexes when the algorithm first encounters them, resulting in missed detection of cardiac arrest.The risk of missing cardiac arrest may be reduced by monitoring these patients with low heart rate limit at or slightly above the basic/demand pacemaker rate. A low heart rate alarm alerts you when the patient's heart rate drops to a level where pacing is needed. Proper detection and classification of the paced rhythm can then be determined.Filtered ECG signal from external instruments:Instruments such as defibrillators or telemetry units produce a filtered ECG signal. When this signal is used as an input to the bedside monitor, it is filtered again. If this twice-filtered signal is passed to the arrhythmia algorithm, it may cause the algorithm to fail to detect pace pulses, pacemaker non-capture, or asystole, thus compromising paced patient monitoring performance.External pacing electrodes:When a pacemaker with external pacing electrodes is being used on a patient, arrhythmia monitoring is severely compromised due to the high energy level in the pacer pulse. This may result in the arrhythmia algorithm's failure to detect pacemaker noncapture or asystole.Fusion beat pacemakers:Pacemakers that create fusion beats (pace pulse on top of the QRS complex) cannot be detected by the monitor's QRS detector.Rate adaptive pacemakers:Implanted pacemakers which can adapt to the Minute Ventilation rate may occasionally react on the Impedance measurement used by patient monitors for the determination of the Resp value and execute pacing with the maximum programmed rate. Switching off the Resp measurement can prevent this.About Arrhythmia MonitoringArrhythmia analysis provides information on your patient's condition, including heart rate, PVC rate, rhythm, and ectopics. The monitor uses the user-selected primary and secondary ECG leads for single-lead or multi-lead arrhythmia analysis. During arrhythmia analysis, the monitor continuously
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring128• optimizes ECG signal quality. This is important for arrhythmia analysis. The monitor continuously filters the ECG signal to remove baseline wander, muscle artifact, and signal irregularities. Also, if the Patient Paced status is set to Yes, pace pulses are filtered out to avoid processing them as QRS beats.• detects beats, for example, QRS complexes, identifying them for further analysis.• measures signal features such as R-wave height, width, and timing.• creates beat templates, and classifies and labels beats to aid in rhythm analysis and alarm detection.• examines the ECG signal for ventricular fibrillation, asystole, and noise.Arrhythmia OptionsYour monitor has either the basic or the enhanced arrhythmia option. Both options provide rhythm and ectopic status messages and beat labeling. The number of rhythms being classified, events being detected, and alarms generated differs according to the option. The alarms available with the different options are listed in the section “ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview” on page 124, the rhythm and ectopic messages detected are listed in “Arrhythmia Status Messages” on page 130.Where Can I Find More Information?See the Application Notes on ST and Arrhythmia supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the arrhythmia algorithm and its clinical application.Switching Arrhythmia Analysis On and Off1In the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select Arrhythmia to toggle between On and Off.2Select the Confirm pop-up key which appears at the bottom of the screen.Be aware that when arrhythmia analysis is switched off,– the message Arrhythmia Off appears beside the ECG wave, if configured to do so– only the HR-related alarms are detected (the asystole alarm, the ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia alarm, the extreme tachycardia and extreme bradycardia alarms, the high heart rate and low heart rate alarms)– HR High and HR Low alarms behave like normal yellow alarms, no timeout periods are active.Choosing an ECG Lead for Arrhythmia MonitoringIt is important to select a suitable lead for arrhythmia monitoring.Guidelines for non-paced patients are:– QRS complex should be tall and narrow (recommended amplitude > 0.5 mV)– R-Wave should be above or below the baseline (but not bi-phasic)– T-wave should be smaller than 1/3 R-wave height– the P-wave should be smaller than 1/5 R-wave height.For paced patients, in addition to the above, the pace pulse should be:– not wider than the normal QRS– the QRS complexes should be at least twice the height of pace pulses– large enough to be detected, with no re-polarization.
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring129To prevent detection of P-waves or baseline noises as QRS complexes, the minimum detection level for QRS complexes is set at 0.15 mV, according to AAMI-EC 13 specifications. Adjusting the ECG wave size on the monitor display (gain adjustment) does not affect the ECG signal which is used for arrhythmia analysis. If the ECG signal is too small, you may get false alarms for pause or asystole.Aberrantly-Conducted BeatsAs P-waves are not analyzed, it is difficult and sometimes impossible for the monitor to distinguish between an aberrantly-conducted supraventricular beat and a ventricular beat. If the aberrant beat resembles a ventricular beat, it is classified as ventricular. You should always select a lead where the aberrantly-conducted beats have an R-wave that is as narrow as possible to minimize incorrect calls. Ventricular beats should look different from these 'normal beats'. Instead of trying to select two leads with a narrow R-wave, it may be easier to just select one lead and use single lead arrhythmia monitoring. Extra vigilance is required by the clinician for this type of patient.Atrial Fibrillation AlarmThe monitor performs atrial fibrillation analysis using information about the RR irregularity, PR interval variability and P wave variability.In order to generate an Afib alarm the following criteria must be detected for 1 minute:• normal beat RR intervals must be irregular• PR interval deviation must be large• P-wave region must not match wellAtrial fibrillation analysis is only available for adult patients and atrial fibrillation detection cannot be performed on PVCs or Paced beats.Since most atrial flutters have regular RR intervals, they cannot be detected by the atrial fibrillation algorithm.An Afib alarm can be falsely detected in the presence of:• sinus arrhythmia,• muscle noise, or• electrode motion artifact.If you also have monitors with earlier software revisions, the Afib alarm will not be generated after a transfer to one of these monitors. Always leave the Irregular HR alarm switched on, so that this alarm can be generated in such situations.See the Application Note on Arrhythmia/ST supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the arrhythmia algorithm and ECG analysis.Intermittent Bundle Branch BlockBundle branch and the other fascicular blocks create a challenge for the arrhythmia algorithm. If the QRS during the block changes considerably from the learned normal, the blocked beat may be incorrectly classified as ventricular, causing false PVC alarms. You should always select a lead where the bundle branch block beats have an R-wave that is as narrow as possible to minimize incorrect calls. Ventricular beats should look different from these 'normal beats'. Instead of trying to select two leads with a narrow R-wave, it may be easier to just select one lead and use single lead arrhythmia monitoring. Extra vigilance is required by the clinician for this type of patient.

Beat labels will be annotated above the ECG wave and Delayed will be written beside it.To return to the normal ECG primary lead display, select Annotate Arrhy again.Arrhythmia Beat LabelsArrhythmia beat labels tell you how the monitor is classifying beats.N = NormalV = Ventricular EctopicS = Supra-ventricular PrematureP = Paced' = Pacer spike" = Biventricular Pacer SpikeL = Learning patient's ECGA = Artifact (noisy episode)? = Insufficient information to classify beatsI = Inoperative condition (e.g., LEADS OFF)M = Pause or missed beatArrhythmia Status MessagesThe monitor displays two types of status messages:
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring131• Rhythm Status Messages -- to indicate the patient's rhythm.• Ectopic Status Messages -- to indicate the presence of ectopic beats.These status messages are shown on the right hand side of the primary ECG wave. They are updated every second, with the exception of the Sinus and Supraventricular (SV) rhythm messages.The Sinus and SV rhythm messages are updated based on the current heart rate, taking into account the patient category (adult, pediatric, or neonatal). For the message to change from one rhythm status to another, the HR must be in the new range for five beats.If you have basic arrhythmia capability, you will get only messages for the alarms provided with this level.Rhythm Status MessagesThe label B or E indicates basic (B) or enhanced (E) arrhythmia capability.Ectopic Status MessagesThe label B or E indicates basic (B) or enhanced (E) arrhythmia capability.Rhythm Status Message Description B or EAsystole No QRS for 4 consecutive seconds in absence of vent fib or chaotic signalB, EVent Fib/Tach A fibrillatory wave for 4 consecutive seconds B, EVtach A dominant rhythm of adjacent Vs and a HR > the V-Tach Heart Rate LimitB, ESustained VT Ventricular tachycardia rhythm for more than 15 seconds EVent Rhythm A dominant rhythm of adjacent PVCs and a HR ≤ the V-Tach HR LimitEVent Bigeminy A dominant rhythm of N, V, N, V EVent Trigeminy A dominant rhythm of N, N, V, N, N, V EPaced Rhythm A dominant rhythm of paced beats B, EIrregular HR Consistently irregular rhythm ESinus BradySinus RhythmSinus TachA dominant rhythm of SV beats preceded by P-waves B, ESV BradySV RhythmSV TachA dominant rhythm of SV beats not preceded by P-waves B, EUnknown ECG Rhythm Rhythm cannot be determined B, ELearning ECG Algorithm is learning the ECG beat morphology B, ELearning Rhythm Algorithm is learning the rhythm of the classified beats B, ECANNOT ANALYZE ECG ECG signal is predominantly invalid and therefore cannot be analyzedB, E

No other alarms are active.Initiating Arrhythmia Relearning ManuallyTo initiate relearning manually, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select Relearn Arrhy.– While the monitor is learning, the delayed arrhythmia wave displays the beat label L and the rhythm status message Learning ECG.– Next, the monitor determines the dominant rhythm. The beats are labeled N, and the rhythm status message changes to Learning Rhythm.After relearning is complete, you should check the delayed arrhythmia wave to ensure that the algorithm is labeling the beats correctly.If beats are still not classified correctly, check that the ECG is optimized for arrhythmia monitoring. You may need to select a different lead or change the electrodes or electrode positions if there is excessive noise, unstable voltage, low amplitude, or large P- or T-waves.Ectopic Status Message Explanation B or E(No message displayed) No ectopic activity within the last minuteRun PVCs More than 2 consecutive PVCs within the last minute EPair PVCs Pair PVCs within the last minute EPacer Not Capt Pause with pace pulse (paced patient only) within the last minuteB, EPacer Nt Pacing Pause without pace pulse (paced patient only) within the last minuteB, EPause No beat detected for 1.75 x average R-R interval for HR <120, or No beat for 1 second with HR >120 (non-paced patient only), or No beat detected for more than the set pause threshold.ER-On-T PVCs R-ON-T detected within the last minute EMultiform PVCs Multiform PVCs detected within the last minute EFrequent SVPBs SVPB count within last minute is greater than 5 ESVPBs 1-5 SVPBs in the last minute with a sinus rhythm and no Vs ESV Beats SV count within last minute and rhythm status is paced B, EPaced Beats Paced beat count within last minute and rhythm status is not pacedB, E
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring133Automatic Arrhythmia RelearnArrhythmia relearning is initiated automatically whenever:• ECG monitoring is switched on• The ECG Lead or Lead Label of the primary/secondary lead is changed manually, or when fallback occurs• A Leads Off INOP condition (that has been active for > 60 seconds) ends.If you are monitoring multi-lead arrhythmia and there is a change in one lead only, relearning happens only in the affected lead. During this learning phase, the system will continue monitoring using the other lead. Therefore, the delayed arrhythmia wave is not labeled L and there is no Learning ECG rhythm status message. In addition, alarm timeout periods are maintained, stored arrhythmia templates are maintained for the operative lead, and all alarms switched on are active.Arrhythmia Relearn and Lead FallbackLead fallback triggers an automatic arrhythmia relearn.WARNINGIf arrhythmia learning takes place during ventricular rhythm, the ectopics may be incorrectly learned as the normal QRS complex. This may result in missed detection of subsequent events of V-Tach and V-Fib.For this reason you should:• take care to initiate arrhythmia relearning only during periods of predominantly normal rhythm and when the ECG signal is relatively noise-free• be aware that arrhythmia relearning can happen automatically• respond to any INOP messages (for example, if you are prompted to reconnect electrodes)• be aware that a disconnected EASI electrode triggers an arrhythmia relearn on all leads• always ensure that the arrhythmia algorithm is labeling beats correctly.Arrhythmia AlarmsArrhythmia alarms can be switched on and off and the alarm settings changed just like other measurement alarms, as described in the Alarms section. Special alarm features which apply only to arrhythmia are described here.The different alarms detected and generated by the monitor depend on the level of arrhythmia analysis that is enabled. For a complete list of arrhythmia alarms and INOPs, see the Alarms chapter.The monitor detects arrhythmia alarm conditions by comparing ECG data to a set of pre-defined criteria. An alarm can be triggered by a rate exceeding a threshold (for example, HR >xx), an abnormal rhythm (for example, Ventricular Bigeminy), or an ectopic event (for example, Pair PVCs).
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring134Yellow Arrhythmia AlarmsYellow arrhythmia alarms are short yellow alarms specific to arrhythmia-related patient conditions. Depending on your monitor and Information Center configuration, they may be shown with one or two stars. The heart rate alarms (High HR and Low HR) can be configured as short yellow or standard yellow alarms. When they are standard yellow alarms they exist independently of the other arrhythmia alarms and no timeout periods apply.WARNINGWhen arrhythmia analysis is on, all yellow ECG and arrhythmia alarms are short yellow alarms (one-star). This means that the yellow alarm lamp and the tones are active for six seconds only, after which the blinking numeric and the alarm message remain for up to three minutes. The only exception to this are the HR High and Low alarms which can be configured as standard yellow alarms. Red alarms behave as usual.Arrhythmia Alarms and LatchingWhen using arrhythmia analysis, Visual Latching and Audible Latching should be on for red alarms, or at least Visual Latching should be on. Because of the transient nature of arrhythmia alarms, many arrhythmia conditions may go unnoticed if alarm latching is off. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.Switching Individual Arrhythmia Alarms On and OffSome arrhythmia alarms can be individually switched on or off. They are:Non-Sustain, Vent Rhythm, Run PVCs, Pair PVCs, R-On-T PVCs, V.Bigeminy, V.Trigeminy, Multif.PVCs, Pause, SVT, IrregularHR, Missed Beat, PVCs/min and Afib.To switch individual alarms on or off, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select the alarm from the list to toggle between On and Off. The monitor displays the INOP message SOME ECG ALRMS OFF, if configured, when more alarms are switched off than configured in your active profile.Switching All Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms On or OffAll yellow arrhythmia alarms can be switched on and off together. To do this,•In the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select All Yellow Off or All Yellow On.Adjusting the Arrhythmia Alarm LimitsSome arrhythmia alarms have limits which can be individually adjusted. They are:VTach HR, VTach Run, PVCs/min, Vent Rhythm, SVT HR, SVT Run, Asystole Thresh., Pause Threshold1To adjust alarm limits, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select the alarm to be adjusted.2Select the appropriate setting from the pop-up list.Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout PeriodsNormally, an arrhythmia alarm is announced when an alarm condition is detected. However, there are certain situations that can inhibit the audible and visible indications of the alarm even though the alarm condition was detected. These include:
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring135• if a more serious alarm condition is active in the same chain• if a timeout period is in effect for a particular alarm• if a timeout period is in effect for a higher alarm in that chain.See “Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining” on page 136 for more details on alarm chains.What is a Timeout Period?Timeout periods are automatically started when a yellow arrhythmia alarm is detected. During this period, the same alarm condition will not generate another alarm. Alarm conditions further down the same arrhythmia alarm chain will also not generate an alarm, but alarms further up the chain will: see “Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining” on page 136.To view the timeout period configured for your monitor, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, see the menu items TimeOut 1st and TimeOut 2nd.This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.Resetting the Timeout PeriodTo reset the timeout period, select the Alarms Off or Pause Alarms permanent key and then reselect it.How are Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms Indicated?When a yellow arrhythmia alarm is generated, it triggers visual and audible indicators. Yellow arrhythmia alarms are always set to latch visually for three minutes except HR High/Low alarms, if configured to standard yellow. Depending on the alarm condition, audible and visual alarm indicators will appear as follows:If you silence a yellow arrhythmia alarm and the alarm condition still exists, the visual indicators continue until the condition stops. You will get an alarm reminder every time the configured timeout period has expired.If you silence a yellow arrhythmia alarm and the alarm condition has stopped, the visual indicators are immediately cleared. Silencing an alarm does not reset its timeout period, so you will not get a realarm for the same condition or lower on the chain until the timeout expires.Alarm Condition Example Short yellow alarm tone sounds Alarm message displayed Single alarm instanceNon-sustained V-tachwhen alarm condition is initially detectedfor 3 minutes (latching time)Continuous alarm conditionPVCs/min HIGH when alarm condition is initially detected and - as an alarm reminder - every time the configured timeout period has expireduntil the alarm condition stops, plus a maximum of three minutes latching timeSame intermittent alarm conditionPair of PVCs each time the alarm condition is detected, provided that the configured timeout period has expired
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring136Arrhythmia Alarm ChainingWhen arrhythmia analysis is switched on, multiple alarm conditions may be present. Announcing all of the detected alarm conditions would be confusing, and might hide a more serious condition. For this reason, arrhythmia alarms are prioritized in three alarm "chains": PVC Alarms; Beat Detection Alarms, and Rate Alarms.Only the highest priority alarm condition in each chain is announced. Lower priority alarms in the same chain will not be announced while an alarm is active or during the configured timeout period. If alarm conditions of equal severity from different chains are detected, the alarm condition that occurred most recently is announced. The exception is Irregular HR, which only occurs if no other alarms are occurring.See “ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview” on page 124 for information on which alarms are included in the different arrhythmia options. See “Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout Periods” on page 134 for an explanation of how alarm timeouts work.
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring137– If there is an active Vent Bigeminy alarm, a PVCs > xx/min will not be triggered because it is lower on the same chain. However, a high HR alarm will become active because it is on a different chain.– Higher priority alarms supersede previous alarms. For example, if a Vent Trigeminy alarm is active and a Pair PVCs occurs, the Pair alarm will be activated.Understanding PVC-Related AlarmsPVC-related alarms are detected on the basis of the current ventricular heart rate and the number of consecutive PVCs counted (referred to as PVC Runs).Example:This diagram illustrates the conditions under which PVC alarms would be generated if the Vent Rhythm Run limit is set to 12, the V-Tach Run Limit is set to 8, and the V-Tach HR Limit is set to 100.You will see that• if both the V-Tach Heart Rate Limit and the V-Tach Run Limit are exceeded, a red V-Tach alarm is generated• if the ventricular heart rate exceeds the V-Tach Heart Rate Limit but not the V-Tach Run Limit, a yellow Non-Sustain VT alarm is generated.About ST MonitoringThe monitor performs ST segment analysis on normal and atrially paced beats and calculates ST segment elevations and depressions. This information can be displayed in the form of ST numerics and snippets on the monitor.All available leads can be monitored continuously. The ECG waveform does not need to be displayed on the monitor for ST Segment analysis.ST analysis is always performed using a dedicated filter which ensures diagnostic quality. If you are monitoring ECG using an ECG filter mode other than Diagnostic, the ST segment of the ECG wave may look different from the ST segment of the ST snippet for the same wave. For diagnostic evaluation of the ST segment, always switch to Diagnostic filter mode or use the ST snippet.
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring138WARNINGSome clinical conditions may make it difficult to achieve reliable ST monitoring, for example:• if you are unable to get a lead that is not noisy• if arrhythmias such as atrial fib/flutter are present, which may cause an irregular baseline• if the patient is continuously ventricularly paced• if the patient has left bundle branch block.You should consider switching ST monitoring off if these conditions are present.This monitor provides ST level change information; the clinical significance of the ST level change information should be determined by a physician.ST segment monitoring is intended for use with adult patients only and is not clinically validated for use with neonatal and pediatric patients. For this reason, the recommended - and default - setting for ST monitoring in neonatal and pediatric modes is ST Analysis: Off.Switching ST On and OffTo switch all ST monitoring on or off, in the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Analysis to toggle between On and Off.Selecting Leads for ST AnalysisYou select which leads to use for ST analysis in the Setup ST Analysis menu.To see the current list of leads selected for ST analysis:1Enter the Setup ST Analysis menu.2Select Setup ST Leads. This opens the Setup ST Leads pop-up window. Leads chosen for ST monitoring are listed here. There are two pop-up keys at the bottom of the screen, Add and Delete. If all leads are already selected, the Add pop-up key is disabled.To choose a lead for ST monitoring:1Select the Add key at the bottom of the Setup ST Leads window. This opens the Choices pop-up window.2Choose a lead from the list for ST monitoring. This closes the Choices window and adds the selected lead to the list of chosen leads.To disable ST monitoring for a lead:1Choose a lead from the list in the Setup ST Leads window.2Select the Delete key. This removes this lead from the list.NOTEThe order in which ST leads are listed in the Setup ST Leads menu determines the order in which ST leads are displayed on the monitor screen.To change the order in which ST leads are displayed,1In the Setup ST Leads menu, choose a lead from the list.2Select the Sort Up or Sort Down key to move the lead up or down in the list.
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring139Understanding the ST DisplayYour monitor screen may be configured to look slightly different from the illustrations.ST NumericsUp to 12 ST numerics plus the ST index can be displayed on the monitor screen. They can be configured to show beside the measurement numerics, beside the ECG wave, or beside the ST snippet.A positive ST value indicates ST segment elevation; a negative value indicates depression.ST numerics are displayed in the order in which you select ST leads for analysis. If there is additional space in the field assigned to ST numerics, the monitor will display extra numerics in the order in which they appear in the list in Setup ST Leads, in the Setup ST Analysis menu. Any ST leads switched on for analysis that do not fit in the assigned numerics field are shown in succession in place of the last ST numeric.ST IndexThe ST index numeric (STindx) is the sum of the absolute values for the ST leads V2, V5, aVF. Because it is based on absolute values, it is always a positive number. If you haven't selected one of the leads V2, V5, and aVF for ST analysis, the ST index numeric will display a question mark "?".To switch the ST index numeric on or off for display, in the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST-Index to toggle between On and Off.ST SnippetsST snippets show a one second wave segment for each measured ST lead. The most recent snippet is drawn in the same color as the ECG wave, usually green, superimposed over the stored baseline snippet, drawn in a different color. The comparison shows any deviation in the measurement since the baseline snippet was stored, for example as a result of a procedure carried out on the patient.The information is updated once per minute.If you do not see ST snippets on the Screen, select the Screen name in the Monitor Info Line and select a Screen configured to show snippets from the pop-up list of available Screens.ST Baseline WindowThe ST Baseline Window shows an ST snippet drawn on a grid. The current ST numeric and the ST numeric stored with the baseline are shown, as well as the difference between these two numerics.A "?" in front of the difference numeric indicates that the ST measurement points were adjusted since the baseline snippet was stored.The Baseline Window opens with the ST pop-up keys Update Baseline, Record ST, Change ST Lead, Adjust ST Points, ST Map and arrow keys for scrolling through the available leads.To view the ST Baseline window, select any snippet on the Screen.1ST numerics2Current HR alarm limits3Current heart rate

To update ST baselines,1Select an ST snippet to open the ST Baseline window.2In the ST Baseline window, select Update Baseline to store all current snippets as baselines. This deletes all previously-stored baselines.An ST baseline copy is also stored in the MMS, for transport purposes.Recording ST SegmentsTo record all currently available ST snippets and baselines, in the ST Baseline window, select the pop-up key Record ST.
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring141About the ST Measurement PointsThe ST value for each beat complex is the vertical difference between the ISO point and the ST point, as shown in the diagram below. The isoelectric (ISO) point provides the baseline, the ST point is at the midpoint of the ST segment. The J point is where the QRS complex changes its slope; as it is a fixed distance away from the ST point, it can be useful to help you position the ST point correctly. CAUTIONThe ST measurement points need to be adjusted when you start monitoring, and if the patient's heart rate or ECG morphology changes significantly, as this may affect the size of the QT interval and thus the placement of the ST point. Artifactual ST segment depression or elevation may occur if the isoelectric point or the ST point is incorrectly set.Always ensure that ST measurement points are appropriate for your patient.Adjusting ST Measurement PointsDepending on your monitor's configuration, the ST point can be positioned either• relative to the J-point.In the Adjust ST Points window, the pop-up keys ISO Point, J Point and ST Point are visible and can be adjusted.or• directly by selecting a numeric value for the ST point.In the Adjust ST Points window, you can adjust the ISO and ST point.The ST Uses setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.To adjust the ST measurement points,1In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select Adjust ST Points to open the Adjust ST Points window. Alternatively, you can use the Adjust ST Points pop-up key in the ST Baseline window.2Select a suitable ECG lead for ST measurement, with a visible J-point and a visible P wave. Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the ST snippets for the other ECG leads.1R-wave peak at 0 msec2J point, for example, 48 msec3Difference = ST value4ST measurement point, for example, J + 60 msec5Isoelectric point set to -80 msec6P7Q8S9T

It helps you to correctly position the ST-point. Position the J-point at the end of the QRS complex and the beginning of the ST segment.The J-point cursor is not available if your monitor is configured to let you set the ST point directly.

Select J Point and use the arrow keys to move the J-Point and position the ST-point at the midpoint of the ST segment.To position the ST-point directly:select ST Point and use the left and right arrow keys to position the ST point at the midpoint of the ST segment.4Select the Apply Changes pop-up key to activate the new ST measurement points and recalculate all ST values.The most recent ST Points adjustment time is displayed in the Adjust ST Points window. This information is cleared when a patient is discharged or when a new Profile is loaded into the monitor.5To update the ST snippet shown in the Adjust ST Points window, select the Update pop-up key.ST AlarmsST alarms are yellow alarms. Each ST lead has its own alarm limit. ST alarms are triggered when an ST value exceeds its alarm limit for more than one minute. Switching ST alarms off switches off alarms for all ST leads.If more than one ST measurement is in alarm, the monitor only displays the alarm message of the ST lead which is currently furthest from its set alarm limits.Single- or Multi-lead ST AlarmingBe aware that if multi-lead ST alarming is switched on, only alarms involving more than one ST lead will be announced.To choose individual or multi-lead ST alarming,•In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Alarm Mode and select either Single ST or Multi ST.Changing ST Alarm LimitsThe monitor can detect alarms on each ST lead separately, so you can set high and low ST alarm limits individually for each ST lead. You can also set separate alarm limits for single-lead and multi-lead ST monitoring. Set the high and low alarm limits based on your assessment of the patient's clinical condition, unit protocols, physician orders or medication specified limits. A good guideline is + 1.0 mm or - 1.0 mm from the patients's ST, or follow your hospital protocol.1In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Alarm Mode and select Single ST or Multi ST.2Select the alarm to be adjusted.3Select the appropriate setting.
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring144Viewing ST MapsThe monitor can derive a multi-axis portrait (map) from the ST analysis to help you detect changes in ST values. It displays two planes obtained from a multilead ECG in a multi-axis diagram, where each axis represents a lead. The ST value at the J point is given. The position of the axes within the diagram correspond to the placement of the ECG leads. Each ST value is assigned to either a limb lead, or to a chest lead. Every axis shows the polarity of the lead it represents. By joining adjacent ST values, the monitor obtains the ST map. The contour line, and the map shading, is shown in the same color as the ECG parameter.Current ViewIn current view, the monitor displays an ST map that corresponds to the current ST values. Three or more leads per plane are necessary to display a map.The left of the following diagram shows leads I, II, III, aVR, aVL, and aVF on the limb leads. On the right, the V-leads (V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6) are on the chest leads.1Alarm status indicator2EASI Limb Leads3EASI Chest Leads4ST index (for EASI)5ST label, value and polarity of corresponding lead6ST map If an ST lead is switched off, its axis is not shown in the map.
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring145If a lead is in INOP (the value is being measured but is invalid or unavailable because, for example, the corresponding ECG electrode is off), the area formed by the remaining ST leads is left open.If there is insufficient information (for example, there are less than three chest leads) for a second ST map to be displayed, the currently available ST values are displayed in place of the second ST map.Trend ViewIn trend view, you can see up to four trended ST maps, and the current ST map, simultaneously. You can configure the time interval between trended samples. The most recent map is shown in the same color as the parameter itself. Past values change from white through dark gray. In the diagram below, the time interval between trends is 12 seconds. The first trended sample is white and is 12 seconds old. The second trended sample corresponds to the ST values 24 seconds ago and so forth. The ST values on the diagrams show the current ST values.If a lead is turned off, its axis is no longer shown. This has no impact on the presentation of trended values that were recorded while the lead was still on. In the diagram below, lead V4 was switched off 20 seconds ago. The current ST values and the first trended value reflect this change in the lead setup. All other maps are displayed the way in which they were recorded.1Limb Leads2Chest Leads3current ST values4trending interval
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring146Viewing an ST MapTo display an ST map,•In the Main Setup menu, select ST Map.Working in the ST Map Task WindowYou may need to activate the ST map task window to see all the data, and to access the pop-up keys. Select the map view on screen to activate its task window. Once you activate it, you can perform the tasks detailed here.Switching Between ST Map ViewsTo switch between views,•Select Current View or Trend View to toggle between views.If your trend view is empty, you need to adjust the priority of this measurement in the trending priority list. See “Trend Priority” on page 274.Displaying an ST Reference BaselineYou can display an ST reference baseline for the current view, or for the trended view. The baseline is shown in yellow. However, if the ECG color is yellow, the baseline is shown in green. Use this baseline to detect ST changes. The baseline is derived automatically whenever the monitor relearns arrhythmia and also on user request.Select Show Baseline/Hide Baseline to toggle between baseline display on and off.Updating an ST Map Reference BaselineTo update the baseline,•In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Baseline then select Update Baseline.Changing the Scale of the ST MapTo change scale,•Select Size Up or Size Down to alter the size at which monitor displays the map.In this diagram, V4 was either temporarily switched off, or in INOP, for around 30 seconds. No data was recorded. Consequently, the affected maps are not closed.
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring147Changing the Trending IntervalTo determine how frequently the monitor displays a trended sample,1In Trend view, select Select Interval.2Select the required interval from the menu. The interval ranges between 12 seconds to 30 minutes.Printing an ST Map ReportTo print the most recently viewed (current or trend) window,1Select Main Setup then select Reports.2Select ST Map.3Press Print.About QT/QTc Interval MonitoringThe QT interval is defined as the time between the beginning of the Q-wave and the end of the T-wave. It measures the total duration of the depolarization (QRS duration) and repolarization (ST-T) phases of the ventricular action potential. QT interval monitoring can assist in the detection of prolonged QT interval syndrome.The QT interval (1) has an inverse relationship to heart rate. Faster heart rates shorten the QT interval and slower heart rates prolong the QT interval. Therefore there are several formulas used to correct the QT interval for heart rate. The heart rate corrected QT interval is abbreviated as QTc. The monitor uses as a default the Bazett correction formula and the alternative Fridericia formula can be selected in Configuration Mode.For QT interval monitoring to be effective, basic or enhanced arrhythmia monitoring should be turned on.QT Measurement AlgorithmThe QT values are updated every five minutes except in the initial phase (first five minutes) where they are updated once per minute. Normal or atrial paced beats and beats with a similar morphology are averaged to form a representative waveform for further processing. Normal beats followed by a premature QRS will be excluded from the measurements to prevent the premature beat from obscuring the end of the T-wave. If the algorithm cannot form a representative waveform, for example because the morphology of the beats is too varied, a CANNOT ANALYZE QT INOP will be generated after 10 minutes. This is also the case if normal beats have been falsely labeled so that the algorithm does not have enough valid beats to make QT measurements. No QT value is calculated if the QT-HR is >150 bpm (Adult) or >180 bpm (Pedi/Neo).
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring148Because of the different algorithm approaches, a QT/QTc measurement from a diagnostic 12-lead program may differ from the realtime measurement on the monitor.Where Can I Find More Information?See the Application Note on QT/QTc Interval Monitoring and the QT Interval Monitoring Quick Guide supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the QT algorithm and performance.Indications For Use Of QT Interval MonitoringOf special concern for QT monitoring is the administration of QT prolonging drugs to patients identified with risk factors for Torsade de Pointe. Females, older patients and patients with bradycardia, impaired left ventricular function (ischemia, left ventricular hypertrophy), hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia are in this increased risk category.Limitations For Use Of QT Interval MonitoringSome conditions may make it difficult to achieve reliable QT monitoring, for example:• the T-wave is very flat• T-waves are not well defined due to atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation• the end of the T-wave is difficult to define because of the presence of U-waves• a high heart rate causes the P-wave to encroach on the end of the previous T-wave• noise or high QRS morphology variationFor these cases you should select a lead with a good T-wave amplitude and no visible flutter activity, and without a predominant U-wave or P-wave.Some conditions such as left or right bundle branch block or hypertrophy can lead to a widened QRS complex. If a long QTc is observed you should verify it to ensure that it is not caused by QRS widening.Because normal beats followed by ventricular beats are not included in the analysis, no QT measurement will be generated in the presence of a bigeminy rhythm.If the heart rate is extremely high (over 150 bpm for adults and over 180 bpm for pediatrics and neonates) QT will not be measured.When the heart rate changes, it can take several minutes for the QT interval to stabilize. For reliable QTc calculation it is important to avoid a region where the heart rate is changing.WARNINGQT/QTc measurements should always be verified by a qualified clinician.Selecting The QT LeadsFor QT Monitoring you can select one of the following three modes:• All Leads mode - all available leads (I, II, III, V, MCL, V1 - V6) are used to produce a global QT measurement. For EASI lead placement, directly acquired AI, AS and ES leads are used.• Primary-Lead mode - the primary lead will be used for QT measurement. If the original primary lead becomes unavailable or is changed, QT measurement will continue with the new primary lead.
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring149• Single-Lead mode - a single lead selected from all available leads (except the augmented leads) will be used for QT measurement. QT measurement will stop if the selected lead becomes unavailable.To select the mode,1Select the QT numeric to enter the Setup QT Analysis window.2Select QT Lead and select All, Primary Lead or one of the available single leads.When using the All Leads mode, make sure when you compare QT values that they are based on the same set of leads.Changing the lead(s) used for QT measurements will not cause the baseline to be reset.QT ViewIn the QT View window you can verify that the QT algorithm detects correct Q and T points.The current waves are shown in the upper half of the window and the baseline waves in a different color below. The Q and T points are marked with a vertical line. By selecting one of the lead labels at the top of the window you can highlight the corresponding wave; the other waves are shown in gray. The underlined lead labels are the leads used for the QT calculation. By selecting the numeric area you can highlight all underlined leads.Changing The View To A Single Wave SetTo view one set of waves in a larger scale, you can cycle through the different views,1Select Current view to see the set of current waves.2Select Baseline view to see the set of baseline waves.3Select Split view to return to the combined view with current and baseline waves.Setting The QT BaselineIn order to quantify changes in the QTc value, you can set a QTc baseline. For example to assess the effect of medication on the QT interval you can set the current value as the baseline before you begin medication. This baseline will then be used to calculate the ΔQTc value.
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring150To set the baseline,•Select Set Baseline and set the value.If no baseline has been set for this patient, the first five minute value after the start of monitoring is automatically set as baseline. If you set a new baseline the previous baseline is discarded. As the ΔQTc alarm is based on the difference between the baseline and the current value, setting an inappropriate new baseline may prevent a ΔQTc alarm from being generated. Discharging a patient clears the baseline.Printing The QT WavesTo start a printout,•Select Print QT.Recording The QT WavesTo start a recording,•Select Record QT.QT AlarmsThere are two QT alarms, QTc high limit alarm and ΔQTc high alarm. The QTc high limit alarm is generated when the QTc value exceeds the set limit for more than 5 minutes. The ΔQTc alarm is generated when the difference between the current value and the baseline value exceeds the set limit for more than 5 minutes.The CANNOT ANALYZE QT INOP and the -?- will be displayed when no QT measurement could be calculated for 10 minutes. Up to this time the previous valid value will be displayed. The following additional messages on the cause of the invalid measurements may also be displayed.Additional Message Cause of Invalid QT MeasurementQT Startup QT monitoring was just turned on or has been resetAsystole or Leads Off 1Not all specified leads needed to perform QT analysis are available, or2Asystole condition is detectedInsufficient Valid Leads Not enough valid QRS complexes to generate a QT measurementInvalid Rhythm for QTc Not enough valid RR intervals to generate QT-HR, the averaged HR used for QTc calculationHigh QT-HR QT-HR exceeds the specified upper limit of 150 bpm (for adults) or 180 bpm (for neonates and pediatrics)Small R Wave R-wave of the signal is too smallSmall T Wave T-wave of the signal is too small
5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring151Switching Individual QTc Alarms On and OffEach QTc alarm can be switched off individually.To switch an alarm on or off, in the Setup QT Analysis menu, select QTc High Alarm or ΔQTc High Alarm to toggle between On and Off.Changing QTc Alarm LimitsSet the high alarm limits based on your assessment of the patient's clinical condition, unit protocols, physician orders or medication specified limits.1In the Setup QT Analysis menu, select QTc High Limit.2Select the appropriate setting.3Select ΔQTc High Limit.4Select the appropriate setting.Switching QT Monitoring On and OffTo switch all QT monitoring on or off, in the Setup QT Analysis menu, select QT Analysis to switch between On and Off.End of T not Detected End of the T-Wave cannot be accurately detectedQT out of Range QT measurement is outside the specified range of valid QT values (200-800 msec)QTc out of Range QTc measurement is outside the specified range of valid QTc values (200-800 msec)QTc Erratic QTc measurements are not stableAdditional Message Cause of Invalid QT Measurement

61536Monitoring Pulse RateThe pulse numeric counts the arterial pulsations that result from the mechanical activity of the heart in beats per minute (bpm). You can display a pulse from any measured SpO2 signal (pleth wave), or any arterial pressure (P, ABP, ART, Ao, PAP, UAP, FAP, BAP: see the pressure section for an explanation of the pressure labels). The displayed pulse numeric is labeled and color-coded to match its source wave. If the pulse numeric is not displayed, see the Setup Pulse menu to check whether it is switched on.Entering the Setup Pulse MenuIf a pulse numeric is displayed on the screen, select it to enter the setup menu for that pulse source. If no pulse numeric is visible, in the Setup SpO₂ menu or the setup menu from an arterial pressure, select pulse with the correct source, e.g. Pulse (HR).System Pulse SourceThe currently selected system pulse source is shown in the setup menus of the pulse source measurements. The pulse rate chosen as system pulse:• is monitored as system pulse and generates alarms when you select pulse as the active alarm source• is sent via the network to the Information Center, if available• is trended in the HighRes Trends and stored in the monitor's databases.To define which pulse rate is used as system pulse,1In the Setup Pulse menu, select System Pulse.2Select one of the SpO2 or arterial pressure labels from the pop-up list, or select Auto. If you select Auto, the monitor automatically chooses a pulse rate to be used as system pulse. It looks through the list from top to bottom and activates the first pulse rate that is switched on and available.If your selected pulse source measurement becomes unavailable or is switched off, the monitor will use the next measurement from the list as system pulse until the selected pulse source measurement becomes available again.
6 Monitoring Pulse Rate154Switching Pulse On and OffTo switch a particular pulse numeric on or off, enter the Setup Pulse menu via the measurement setup menu or wave menu of the pulse source. For example, to switch an SpO2 pulse numeric on or off,1Enter the Setup Pulse menu by selecting the Pulse numeric or by selecting Pulse in the Setup SpO₂ menu.2In the Setup Pulse menu, select the correct pulse label, e.g. Pulse (SpO₂), to toggle between On and Off.Using Pulse AlarmsYou can change pulse rate alarm limits in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu which can be accessed from the Setup Pulse menu or the Setup ECG menu by selecting Alarm Source. Changing the alarm limits for a specific Pulse numeric changes the alarm limits for all pulse rate alarms and heart rate alarms.Pulse alarms are only generated when the active alarm source is set to Pulse, a pulse source is set as system pulse and pulse alarms are switched on.Selecting the Active Alarm Source: ECG or Pulse?In most cases the HR and Pulse numerics are identical. In order to avoid simultaneous alarms on HR and Pulse, the monitor uses either ECG or Pulse as its active alarm source. To change the alarm source, select Alarm Source in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu, then select•ECG/Arrhythm: if you want the HR to be the alarm source for HR/Pulse.•Pulse: If you select Pulse as the active alarm source, the monitor will prompt you to confirm your choice. Be aware that if you select Pulse as the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched off.•Auto: If the alarm source is set to Auto, the monitor will use the heart rate from the ECG measurement as the alarm source whenever the ECG measurement is switched on and at least one ECG lead can be measured without an INOP condition.The monitor will automatically switch to Pulse as the alarm source if:– a valid ECG lead can no longer be measuredand– a Pulse source is switched on and available,The monitor then uses the pulse rate from the measurement currently active as system pulse. While Pulse is the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched off. If an ECG lead becomes available again, the monitor automatically uses HR as alarm source.Note:If ECG is switched off, the monitor will always change to Pulse as alarm source, if a Pulse is available. One exception to this rule can arise when you have a telemetry device paired with your monitor. The monitor ECG is then deactivated but the monitor may be configured to allow only ECG as the active alarm source. In this case the monitor will not switch to Pulse as alarm source and Pulse will not be available as a selection in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu.
6 Monitoring Pulse Rate155WARNINGSelecting Pulse as the active alarm source for HR/Pulse switches off the arrhythmia alarms listed in the section “ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview” on page 124, including Asystole, Vfib and Vtach alarms, and the heart rate alarms. This is indicated by the message ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF (unless this has been configured off for your monitor), and the crossed-out alarm symbol beside the ECG heart rate numeric. The message ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF can be configured off, or to switch to a yellow (medium severity) INOP after a fixed number of hours.High and low pulse rate and extreme bradycardia and extreme tachycardia alarms from pulse are active.Alarm Source Selection DisabledIf you cannot change the alarm source, selection of the alarm source may be disabled. If you try to change the source, the monitor displays the message To activate enter Config and enable Alarm Source Selection. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.Changing HR/Pulse Alarm LimitsAs Pulse and HR share the same high and low alarm limits, if you change the alarm limit in the Setup Pulse menu, the high or low alarm limits for HR in the Setup ECG menu change automatically, and vice versa. The only exceptions are caused by a low limit clamp for each measurement: the lowest value for Pulse when derived from SpO2 is 30 bpm; from HR 15 bpm, and from Pressure 25 bpm.Extreme Alarm LimitsThe extreme rate alarms, *** EXTREME TACHY and *** EXTREME BRADY, generated by the active alarm source, either HR or Pulse, are set in Configuration Mode by adding a set value to the high and low alarm limits. You need to know what value has been configured for your monitor. Changing the high and low alarm limits automatically changes the extreme alarm limits within the allowed range.• To see the values added to the high and low limit alarms to create the extreme rate alarms for your monitor, in the Setup ECG menu, see the menu items Δ ExtrTachy and Δ ExtrBrady.QRS ToneThe active alarm source is also used as a source for the QRS tone. You can change the tone volume in the Setup SpO₂ and Setup ECG menus and the QRS tone modulation in the Setup SpO₂ menu.WARNINGThe audible QRS tone might be influenced by external interference and is not intended to be used as a substitute for ECG based arrhythmia analysis.If arrhythmia detection is needed, do not rely on the audible QRS tone.

71577Monitoring Respiration Rate(Resp)For the respiratory measurement (Resp), the monitor measures the thoracic impedance between two ECG electrodes on the patient's chest. Changes in the impedance due to thoracic movement produce the Resp waveform on the monitor screen. The monitor counts the waveform cycles to calculate the respiration rate (RR).Lead Placement for Monitoring RespCorrect patient skin preparation techniques for electrode placement are important for Resp measurement: you will find this information in the chapter on ECG.The Resp measurement uses the standard ECG cable sets and lead placements. You can use any of the different types of ECG cable sets - 3-lead, 5-lead, 6-lead or 10-lead, using either standard or EASI™ placement - to measure Resp, as long as you use ICU ECG cables.The Resp signal is always measured between two of the ECG electrodes. If you are using standard ECG electrode placement, Resp is measured between the RA and LL electrodes. If you are using EASI™ ECG electrode placement, Resp is measured between the I and A electrodes.Optimizing Lead Placement for RespIf you want to measure Resp and you are already measuring ECG, you may need to optimize placement of the two electrodes between which Resp will be measured for some patients. Repositioning ECG electrodes from standard positions, especially when you are using EASI™ ECG electrode placement, results in changes in the ECG waveform and may influence ST and arrhythmia interpretation.Cardiac OverlayCardiac activity that affects the Resp waveform is called cardiac overlay. It happens when the Resp electrodes pick up impedance changes caused by the rhythmic blood flow. Correct electrode placement can help to reduce cardiac overlay: avoid the liver area and the ventricles of the heart in the line between the respiratory electrodes. This is particularly important for neonates.
7 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp)158Lateral Chest ExpansionSome patients, especially neonates, expand their chests laterally. In these cases it is best to place the two respiratory electrodes in the right midaxillary and left lateral chest areas at the patient's maximum point of breathing movement to optimize the respiratory wave.Abdominal BreathingSome patients with restricted chest movement breathe mainly abdominally. In these cases, you may need to place the left leg electrode on the left abdomen at the point of maximum abdominal expansion to optimize the respiratory wave.Understanding the Resp DisplayThe Resp measurement is displayed on the monitor as a continuous wave and a numeric respiration rate. If the detected respiration rate is close to the heart rate, this is indicated by the text HR = RR next to the respiration wave if you are in manual monitoring mode. Your monitor screen may look slightly different from the illustration.1Resp wave label2One Ohm calibration bar3Manually-set Resp detection level4Resp numeric and labelChanging Resp Detection ModesThe Resp detection level can be set either automatically or manually.• To change the resp detection mode, in the Setup Resp menu, select Detection to toggle between the settings.Auto Detection ModeIn Auto Detection Mode, the monitor adjusts the detection level automatically, depending on the wave height and the presence of cardiac artifact. Note that in Auto Detection Mode,
7 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp)159• the detection level (a dotted line) is not displayed on the waveform,• the algorithm expects a heart rate and therefore needs at least 3 electrodes attached to the patient. If you are monitoring respiration with only two electrodes, the detection algorithm becomes less sensitive which may result in reduced breath detection performance.Use Auto Detection Mode for situations where:• the respiration rate is not close to the heart rate• breathing is spontaneous, with or without continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)• patients are ventilated, except patients with Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (IMV).Manual Detection ModeIn Manual Detection Mode you must set the Resp detection level.•In the Setup Resp menu, select Manual Up or Manual Down. Use the dotted detection level line in the Resp waveform to determine when the desired level is reached.Once set, the detection level will not adapt automatically to different respiration depths. It is important to remember that if the depth of breathing changes, you may need to change the detection level.Use Manual Detection Mode for situations where:• the respiration rate and the heart rate are close.• patients have Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation.• respiration is weak. Try repositioning the electrodes to improve the signal.Resp Detection Modes and Cardiac OverlayIn Auto Detection Mode:If you are monitoring Resp and the ECG is switched off, the monitor cannot compare the ECG and Resp rates to detect cardiac overlay. The respiration detection level is automatically set higher to prevent the detection of cardiac overlay as respiration.In Manual Detection Mode:Cardiac overlay can in certain situations trigger the respiration counter. This may lead to a false indication of a high respiration rate or an undetected apnea condition. If you suspect that cardiac overlay is being registered as breathing activity, raise the detection level above the zone of cardiac overlay. If the Resp wave is so small that raising the detection level is not possible, you may need to optimize the electrode placement as described in the section “Lateral Chest Expansion” on page 158.Changing the Size of the Respiration WaveWARNINGWhen monitoring in Manual Detection Mode, make sure to check the respiration detection level after you have increased or decreased the size of the respiration wave.•In the Setup Resp menu, select Size Up to increase the size of the wave or Size Down to decrease it.
7 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp)160Changing the Speed of the Respiration WaveResp waveforms are usually viewed at a slower speed than other waveforms. For this reason, the Resp measurement has its own speed control and is not affected by the wave speed settings of the other measurements.• Select the Resp wave to enter the Resp Wave menu, then select Change Speed. Choose the required speed from the pop-up list. This defines the speed at which the wave is drawn across the screen in millimeters per second (mm/s).Using Resp AlarmsResp alarms can be switched on and off and the high and low alarm limits can be changed just like other measurement alarms, as described in the Alarms chapter.Changing the Apnea Alarm DelayThe apnea alarm is a high priority red alarm used to detect apneas. The apnea alarm delay time defines the time period between the point where the monitor cannot detect any respiration activity and the indication of the apnea alarm.1In the Setup Resp menu, select Apnea Time.2Select the appropriate setting.Resp Safety InformationWARNINGRespiration detection levelIf you do not set the detection level for the respiration correctly in manual detection mode, it may not be possible for the monitor to detect apnea. If you set the detection level too low, the monitor is more likely to detect cardiac activity, and to falsely interpret cardiac activity as respiratory activity in the case of apnea.ApneaThe respiration measurement does not recognize obstructive and mixed apneas - it only indicates an alarm when a pre-adjusted time has elapsed since the last detected breath.The safety and effectiveness of the respiration measurement method in the detection of apnea, particularly the apnea of prematurity and apnea of infancy, has not been established.InterferenceIf operating under conditions according to the EMC Standard EN 60601-1-2 (Radiated Immunity 3V/m), field strengths above 1V/m may cause erroneous measurements at various frequencies. Therefore it is recommended to avoid the use of electrically radiating equipment in close proximity to the respiration measurement unit.Resp Accessories
7 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp)161To monitor respiration, use only the non-OR ECG accessories listed in the Resp section of the accessories chapter. You cannot measure respiration if you are using an orange OR ECG cable set. This is because of the higher internal impedance of the OR cable set, required for use if electrosurgery is being performed.Rate adaptive pacemakersImplanted pacemakers which can adapt to the Minute Ventilation rate may occasionally react on the Impedance measurement used by patient monitors for the determination of the Resp value and execute pacing with the maximum programmed rate. Switching off the Resp measurement can prevent this.

81638Monitoring SpO2Philips pulse oximetry uses a motion-tolerant signal processing algorithm, based on Fourier artifact suppression technology (FAST). It provides four measurements:• Oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO2) - percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin in relation to the sum of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin (functional arterial oxygen saturation).• Pleth waveform - visual indication of patient's pulse.• Pulse rate (derived from pleth wave) - detected pulsations per minute.• Perfusion indicator - numerical value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by arterial pulsation.The monitors are also compatible with SpO2 technologies from other manufacturers. Please refer to the instructions for use provided with these devices for further information.SpO2 SensorsDepending on the purchased SpO2 option, different sensors and adapter cables can be used. The sensors for the different options are color-coded to match the connectors. See the section on Accessories for a compatibility table.Familiarize yourself with the instructions for use supplied with your sensor before using it. In particular, check that the sensor being used is appropriate for your patient category and application site.CAUTIONDo not use OxiCliq disposable sensors in a high humidity environment, such as in neonatal incubators or in the presence of fluids, which may contaminate sensor and electrical connections causing unreliable or intermittent measurements. Do not use disposable sensors when there is a known allergic reaction to the adhesive.Always use the MAX-FAST forehead sensor with the foam headband provided by Nellcor.Applying the Sensor1Follow the SpO2 sensor's instructions for use, adhering to all warnings and cautions.2Remove colored nail polish from the application site.
8 Monitoring SpO21643Apply the sensor to the patient. The application site should match the sensor size so that the sensor can neither fall off, nor apply excessive pressure.When using the M1195A Infant Finger Sensor, select a finger or toe with a diameter of between 7 and 8 mm (0.27" and 0.31"). When applying a M1193A neonatal sensor do not overtighten the strap.4Check that the light emitter and the photodetector are directly opposite each other. All light from the emitter must pass through the patient's tissue.WARNINGLoose Sensor: If a sensor is too loose, it might compromise the optical alignment or fall off. If it is too tight, for example because the application site is too large or becomes too large due to edema, excessive pressure may be applied. This can result in venous congestion distal from the application site, leading to interstitial edema, hypoxemia and tissue malnutrition. Skin irritations or lacerations may occur as a result of the sensor being attached to one location for too long. To avoid skin irritations and lacerations, periodically inspect the sensor application site and change the application site at least every four hours.Venous Pulsation: Do not apply sensor too tightly as this results in venous pulsation which may severely obstruct circulation and lead to inaccurate measurements.Ambient Temperature: At elevated ambient temperatures be careful with measurement sites that are not well perfused, because this can cause severe burns after prolonged application. All listed sensors operate without risk of exceeding 41°C on the skin if the initial skin temperature does not exceed 35°C.Extremities to Avoid: Avoid placing the sensor on extremities with an arterial catheter, an NBP cuff or an intravascular venous infusion line.Connecting SpO2 CablesConnect the sensor cable to the color-coded socket on the measurement device (MMS or module). You can connect some Philips sensors directly to the measurement device. For other sensors, use the corresponding adapter cable.CAUTIONExtension cables: Do not use more than one extension cable (M1941A). Do not use an extension cable with Philips reusable sensors or adapter cables with part numbers ending in -L (indicates "long" cable version).Electrical Interference: Position the sensor cable and connector away from power cables, to avoid electrical interference.Humidity: For neonatal patients, make sure that all sensor connectors and adapter cable connectors are outside the incubator. The humid atmosphere inside can cause inaccurate measurements.
8 Monitoring SpO2165Measuring SpO21Select the correct patient category setting (adult/pediatric and neonatal), as this is used to optimize the calculation of the SpO2 and pulse numerics.2During measurement, ensure that the application site:– has a pulsatile flow, ideally with a perfusion indicator value above 1.0.– has not changed in its thickness (for example, due to edema), causing an improper fit of the sensor.WARNING• Inspect the application site every two to three hours to ensure skin quality and correct optical alignment. If the skin quality changes, move the sensor to another site. Change the application site at least every four hours.• Injected dyes such as methylene blue, or intravascular dyshemoglobins such as methemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin may lead to inaccurate measurements.• Inaccurate measurements may result when the application site for the sensor is deeply pigmented or deeply colored, for example, with nail polish, artificial nails, dye or pigmented cream.• Interference can be caused by:– High levels of ambient light (including IR warmers) or strobe lights or flashing lights (such as fire alarm lamps). (Hint: cover application site with opaque material.)–Another SpO2 sensor in close proximity (e.g. when more than one SpO2 measurement is performed on the same patient). Always cover both sensors with opaque material to reduce cross-interference.– Electromagnetic interference, especially at perfusion indicator values below 1.0 and signal quality indicator below medium.– Excessive patient movement and vibration.SpO2 Signal Quality Indicator (Fast SpO2 only)The SpO2 numeric is displayed together with a signal quality indicator (if configured and enough space is available) which gives an indication of the reliability of the displayed values.The level to which the triangle is filled shows the quality of the signal; the indicator below shows a medium signal quality, the signal quality is at a maximum when the triangle is completely filled.
8 Monitoring SpO2166Assessing a Suspicious SpO2 ReadingTraditionally, pulse rate from SpO2 was compared with heart rate from ECG to confirm the validity of the SpO2 reading. With newer algorithms, such as FAST-SpO2, this is no longer a valid criteria because the correct calculation of SpO2 is not directly linked to the correct detection of each pulse.When pulse rate is very low, or strong arrhythmia is present, the SpO2 pulse rate may differ from the heart rate calculated from ECG but this does not indicate an inaccurate SpO2 value.If you doubt the measured SpO2, use the signal quality indicator (if available) or the pleth wave and perfusion indicator instead to assess the signal quality.WARNINGWith pulse oximetry, sensor movement, ambient light (especially strobe lights or flashing lights) or electromagnetic interference can give unexpected intermittent readings when the sensor is not attached. Especially bandage-type sensor designs are sensitive to minimal sensor movement that might occur when the sensor is dangling.Changing the Averaging TimeDepending on the monitor configuration, you may be able to change the averaging time for the SpO2 values. The averaging time represents the approximate time period used for the calculation. The exact averaging algorithm depends on the SpO2 technology (option) used and on the signal conditions. The longer the averaging time, the longer the time needed until the SpO2 value reflects the physiological event. Fast averaging is useful for situations where an extremely fast measurement is required or few artifacts are expected. Use slow averaging where you expect the number of artifacts to be relatively high.1In the Setup SpO₂ menu, select Average.2Select the required averaging time from the list.Understanding SpO2 AlarmsThis refers to SpO2 specific alarms. See the chapter on “Alarms” on page 47 for general alarm information. SpO2 offers high and low limit alarms, and a high priority desat alarm. You cannot set the low alarm limit below the desat alarm limit.
8 Monitoring SpO2167CAUTIONIf you measure SpO2 on a limb that has an inflated noninvasive blood pressure cuff, a non-pulsatile SpO2 INOP can occur. If the monitor is configured to suppress this alarm there may be a delay of up to 60 seconds in indicating a critical status, such as sudden pulse loss or hypoxia.Alarm DelaysThere is a delay between a physiological event at the measurement site and the corresponding alarm at the monitor. This delay has two components:• The general system delay time is the time between the occurrence of the physiological event and when this event is represented by the displayed numerical values. This delay depends on the algorithmic processing and the configured averaging time. The longer the averaging time configured, the longer the time needed until the numerical values reflect the physiological event.• The time between the displayed numerical values crossing an alarm limit and the alarm indication on the monitor. This delay is the combination of the configured alarm delay time plus the general system alarm signal delay time.The alarm delay time can be configured to a fixed value (between 0 and 30 seconds) or the monitor can be configured to apply a delay based on an intelligent algorithm. See “About Smart Alarm Delays” on page 167 for details on how this works. See “Performance Specifications” on page 401 for delay specifications. About Smart Alarm DelaysThe Smart Alarm Delay functionality is currently not available in the U.S.A. or in clinical environments under FDA control.The monitor can be configured to apply a delay before announcing SpO2 limit alarms. The delay is calculated using an intelligent algorithm. This capability can be used to suppress alarms which occur because a limit is exceeded for a short time or by a small amount.WARNINGBefore using Smart Alarm Delays, make sure that you fully understand how the delay is applied and what the consequences are.The following factors are considered when calculating the delay:• the amount by which a limit is exceeded• the time it is exceeded for, and hence•the speed with which the values change when a limit is exceededIf the measured value rises, or falls, very quickly, an alarm will be announced with only a short delay. If the value changes slowly, the delay will be longer before an alarm is announced. And if the value changes slowly and only for a short time, an alarm may not be announced at all. Here are some specific examples to illustrate this.
8 Monitoring SpO2168ExamplesIn the examples, the SpO2 low alarm limit is set to 90%, and the Smart Alarm Delay is configured on. The measured SpO2 signal is represented by the dotted curve. The vertical axis (V) shows the change in the SpO2 value and the horizontal axis (T) shows the time.In example 1, the SpO2 value is dropping quickly and goes below the low alarm limit at the point marked a. At the point marked b it also crosses into the shaded area which represents the Smart Alarm Delay criteria - the low limit alarm is announced. The delay between the limit being crossed and the alarm being announced, the distance between a and b, is short.In example 2, the SpO2 value is dropping more slowly and goes below the low alarm limit at the point marked c. At the point marked d it also crosses into the shaded area which represents the Smart Alarm Delay criteria - the low limit alarm is announced. The delay between the limit being crossed and the alarm being announced, the distance between c and d, is this time longer.In example 3, the SpO2 value drops slowly below the low alarm limit and after a short time increases again above the limit. As the value never crosses into the shaded area which represents the Smart Alarm Delay criteria, no alarm is announced.However, if a limit is exceeded by a small amount for a very long time, an alarm will be announced. For this case there is a maximum delay time after which an alarm will always be announced.ConfigurationTo accommodate different levels of patient stability, there are three different Smart Alarm Delay settings: Short, Medium and Long, which correspond to three different sets of criteria (three different shaded areas). The appropriate setting for the treatment area where the monitor is to be used is decided during monitor configuration. The Short setting ensures a quick response to changing conditions for less stable patients. The Medium and Long settings extend the delay to avoid unnecessary alarms for more stable patients. For detailed numeric information about the different settings, see the SpO2 section in the Specifications chapter. For background information as a basis for the decision for a specific setting, see the Configuration Guide.
8 Monitoring SpO2169Adjusting the Alarm LimitsIn the Setup SpO₂ menu:•Select High Limit then choose the high alarm limit.•Select Low Limit then choose the low alarm limit.WARNINGHigh oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to retrolental fibroplasia. If this is a consideration do NOT set the high alarm limit to 100%, which is equivalent to switching the alarm off.Adjusting the Desat Limit AlarmThe Desat alarm is a high priority (red) alarm notifying you of potentially life threatening drops in oxygen saturation.1In the Setup SpO₂ menu, select Desat Limit.2Adjust the limit.Pleth WaveThe Pleth wave is autoscaled to maximum display size. It decreases only when the signal quality becomes marginal. It is NOT directly proportional to the pulse volume. If you need an indication of change in pulse volume, use the perfusion indicator.1 Minimum size for reliable SpO2 valuePerfusion NumericThe perfusion numeric (Perf) gives a value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by the pulsating arterial blood flow.As pulse oximetry is based on the pulsatile nature of the signal, you can also use the perfusion numeric as a quality indicator for the SpO2 measurement. Above 1 is optimal, between 0.3-1 is acceptable. Below 0.3 is marginal; reposition the sensor or find a better site.Perfusion Change IndicatorThe perfusion change indicator is a graphic symbol which shows the change in the perfusion value, relative to a reference value which you can set.To set the current perfusion value as the reference value:•In the Setup SpO₂ menu, select Set Perf Ref..
8 Monitoring SpO2170When a reference value has been set, the perfusion change indicator is displayed next to the perfusion numeric.Setting SpO2/Pleth as Pulse Source1In the Setup SpO₂ menu, select Pulse (SpO₂) to enter the Setup Pulse menu.2In the Setup Pulse menu, select System Pulseand select the correct SpO2 label from the pop-up list.Setting Up Tone ModulationIf tone modulation is on, the QRS tone pitch lowers when the SpO2 level drops. Remember, the QRS tone is derived from either heart rate or pulse depending on which is currently selected as the active alarm source.In the Setup SpO₂ menu, select Tone Modulation to switch between Yes (for on) and No (for off).Tone modulation is licensed under US patent US 4.653.498 from Nellcor Puritan Bennett Incorporated.Setting the QRS VolumeIn the Setup SpO₂ menu, select QRS Volume and set the appropriate QRS tone volume.Calculating SpO2 DifferenceWhen a second SpO2 measurement is present (either through the SpO2 module or through an external device), the monitor displays both SpO2 values, and calculates the difference between them. The second value is subtracted from the first.1From the Main Setup menu, select Measurements.2From the Setup ΔSpO₂menu, select First SpO₂.3Choose the first measurement source.4Select Second SpO₂.5Choose the second measurement source.
91719Monitoring NBPThis monitor uses the oscillometric method for measuring NBP. In adult and pediatric mode, the blood pressure measurements determined with this device comply with the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers (ANSI/AAMI SP10-1992) in relation to mean error and standard deviation, when compared to intra-arterial or auscultatory measurements (depending on the configuration) in a representative patient population. For the auscultatory reference, the fifth Korotkoff sound was used to determine the diastolic pressure.In neonatal mode, the blood pressure measurements determined with this device comply with the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers (ANSI/AAMI SP10-1992) in relation to mean error and standard deviation, when compared to intra-arterial measurements in a representative patient population.The NBP measurement is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgery and during the discharge of a cardiac defibrillator according to IEC 601-2-30:1999/EN 60601-2-30:2000.A physician must determine the clinical significance of the NBP information.Introducing the Oscillometric NBP MeasurementOscillometric devices measure the amplitude of pressure changes in the occluding cuff as the cuff deflates from above systolic pressure. The amplitude suddenly increases as the pulse breaks through the occlusion in the artery. As the cuff pressure decreases further, the pulsations increase in amplitude, reach a maximum (which approximates to the mean pressure), and then diminish.Studies show that, especially in critical cases (arrhythmia, vasoconstriction, hypertension, shock), oscillometric devices are more accurate and consistent than devices using other noninvasive measuring techniques.WARNINGPatient Category: Select the correct patient category setting for your patient. Do not apply the higher adult inflation, overpressure limits and measurement duration to neonatal patients.Intravenous infusion: Do not use the NBP cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion or arterial catheter in place. This could cause tissue damage around the catheter when the infusion is slowed or blocked during cuff inflation.Skin Damage: Do not measure NBP in cases of sickle-cell disease or any condition where skin damage has occurred or is expected.
9 Monitoring NBP172Unattended measurement: Use clinical judgement to decide whether to perform frequent unattended blood pressure measurements in cases of severe blood clotting disorders because of the risk of hematoma in the limb fitted with the cuff.CAUTIONIf you spill liquid onto the equipment or accessories, particularly if there is a chance that it can get inside the tubing or the measurement device, contact your service personnel.Measurement LimitationsMeasurements are impossible with heart rate extremes of less than 40 bpm or greater than 300 bpm, or if the patient is on a heart-lung machine.The measurement may be inaccurate or impossible:• with excessive and continuous patient movement such as shivering or convulsions• if a regular arterial pressure pulse is hard to detect• with cardiac arrhythmias• with rapid blood pressure changes• with severe shock or hypothermia that reduces blood flow to the peripheries• with obesity, where a thick layer of fat surrounding a limb dampens the oscillations coming from the artery• on an edematous extremity.The effectiveness of this sphygmomanometer has not been established in pregnant, including pre-eclamptic patients.Measurement ModesThere are four modes for measuring NBP:•Manual - measurement on demand.•Auto - continually repeated measurements (between one minute and 24 hours adjustable interval).•Sequence - up to four measurement cycles which will run consecutively, with number of measurements and interval between them configurable for each cycle.•STAT - rapid series of measurements over a five minute period, then the monitor returns to the previous mode. Use only on supervised patients.Reference MethodThe measurement reference method can be Auscultatory (manual cuff) or Invasive (intra-arterial). For further information, see the Application Note supplied on the monitor documentation DVD.In Neonatal mode, to comply with safety standards, invasive is always used as the reference method. This setting cannot be changed and is not visible in any operating mode.
9 Monitoring NBP173In Adult and Pediatric mode, to check the current setting, select Main Setup then Measurements followed by NBP, and check whether the Reference setting is set to Auscultatory or Invasive. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.Preparing to Measure NBP1Connect the cuff to the air tubing.2Plug the air tubing into the red NBP connector. Avoid compression or restriction of pressure tubes. Air must pass unrestricted through the tubing.3Make sure that you are using a Philips-approved correct sized cuff and that the bladder inside the cover is not folded or twisted.A wrong cuff size, and a folded or twisted bladder, can cause inaccurate measurements. The width of the cuff should be in the range from 37% to 47% of the limb circumference. The inflatable part of the cuff should be long enough to encircle at least 80% of the limb.4Apply the cuff to a limb at the same level as the heart. If it is not, you must use the measurement correction formula to correct the measurement.The marking on the cuff must match the artery location. Do not wrap the cuff too tightly around the limb. It may cause discoloration, and ischemia of the extremities. Inspect the application site regularly to ensure skin quality and inspect the extremity of the cuffed limb for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If the skin quality changes, or if the extremity circulation is being affected, move the cuff to another site or stop the blood pressure measurements immediately. Check more frequently when making automatic or stat measurements.Correcting the Measurement if Limb is not at Heart LevelTo correct the measurement if the limb is not at heart level, to the displayed valueadd 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each centimeter higher ordeduct 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each centimeter lower oradd 1.9mmHg (0.25kPa) for each inch higher. deduct 1.9mmHg (0.25kPa) for each inch lower.
9 Monitoring NBP174Understanding the NBP NumericsDepending on the NBP numeric size, not all elements may be visible. Your monitor may be configured to display only the systolic and diastolic values.The measured NBP value, together with the corresponding pulse rate if this is switched on, will be displayed for one hour. After that the values are regarded as invalid and are no longer displayed. In Auto mode the measurement values may disappear more quickly (to be replaced by new measurement values), if the repeat time is set to less than one hour. Alarm SourcesIf you have parallel alarm sources, the sources are displayed instead of the alarm limits.NBP TimestampDepending on your configuration, the time shown beside the NBP numeric can be:– the time of the most recent NBP measurement, also known as the "timestamp", or– the time until the next measurement in an automatic series, displayed with a graphic representation of the remaining time, as shown here.The NBP timestamp will normally show the completion time of the NBP measurement. Only under the following conditions the timestamp shows the beginning of the measurement:• when in Auto or Sequence mode, and• the monitor is configured to synchronize the measurements in a measurement series to an "easy-to-document" time. For example, if you start the first measurement at 08:23, and the Repeat Time is set to 10 minutes, the monitor automatically performs the next measurement at 8:30, then 8:40 and so on. During MeasurementsThe cuff pressure is displayed instead of the units and the repeat time. An early systolic value gives you a preliminary indication of the systolic blood pressure during measurement.Starting and Stopping MeasurementsUse the Setup menu, SmartKeys or the MMS hardkey to start and stop measurements.1Alarm source2Measurement Mode3Timestamp/Timer4Mean pressure5Diastolic6Systolic7Alarm limits

9 Monitoring NBP176CAUTIONUse clinical judgment to decide whether to perform repeated series of STAT measurements because of the risk of purpura, ischemia and neuropathy in the limb with the cuff.Enabling Automatic Mode and Setting Repetition Time1In the Setup NBP menu, select Mode and select Auto from the pop-up menu.2For an automatic measurement, select Repeat Time and set the time interval between two measurements.Enabling Sequence Mode and Setting Up The Sequence1In the Setup NBP menu, select Mode and select Sequence from the pop-up menu.2Select Setup Sequence to open the Setup Sequence window.Up to four measurement cycles can be setup which will run consecutively. For each cycle you can set the number of measurements and the interval between them. If you want to run less than four cycles in a sequence, you can set the number of measurements for one or more cycles to Off.3Select each sequence in turn and select the number of measurements and the time interval between the measurements.4To have measurements continue after the sequence, set the number of measurements for your last cycle to Continuous and this cycle will run indefinitely.CAUTIONBe aware that, if none of the cycles are set to Continuous, NBP monitoring will end after the last measurement of the cycle.When the NBP measurement mode is set to Sequence, the repetition time for Auto mode cannot be changed.Choosing the NBP Alarm SourceYou can monitor for alarm conditions in systolic, diastolic and mean pressure, either singly or in parallel. Only one alarm is given, with the priority of mean, systolic, diastolic.In the Setup NBP menu, select Alarms from and choose from:
9 Monitoring NBP177If Mean is not selected as alarm source (Sys., Dia., or Sys & Dia selected), but the monitor can only derive a mean value, mean alarms will nevertheless be announced using the most recent mean alarm limits. Check that the mean alarm limits are appropriate for the patient, even when not using mean as the alarm source. When no value can be derived an NBP MEASURE FAILED INOP will be displayed.Switching Pulse from NBP On/OffIn the process of making the NBP measurement, a pulse value can be derived and displayed. The pulse value is displayed together with the time the measurement was made. After one hour the value becomes invalid. There are no alarms associated with pulse from NBP.To switch the display of the pulse value on or off:•In the Setup NBP menu select Pulse (NBP).Assisting Venous PunctureYou can use the NBP cuff to cause sub-diastolic pressure. The cuff deflates automatically after a set time (adult/pediatric 170 seconds, neonatal 85 seconds) if you do not deflate it.1In the Setup NBP menu select VeniPuncture.2Puncture vein and draw blood sample.3Reselect VeniPuncture to deflate the cuff.During measurement, the NBP display shows the inflation pressure of the cuff and the remaining time in venous puncture mode.NOTEPerforming a venous puncture while automatic or sequence NBP measurements are being made suspends the measurement series for the duration of the venous puncture inflation and for three minutes afterwards.Calibrating NBPNBP is not user-calibrated. Cuff-pressure transducers must be verified at least once every two years by a qualified service professional, and calibrated, if necessary.

1017910Monitoring TemperatureWARNINGMeasurements from an MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on its own battery power. They are only available when the X2 is powered by external power: when connected to a host monitor, to the external power supply (M8023A) or to the Battery Extension (865297).You can measure temperature using an X1 or X2 Multi-Measurement Module (MMS), one of the MMS extensions, or the temperature plug-in module.Temp measurement automatically switches on when you connect a probe. You can switch the measurement off manually.Making a Temp Measurement1Select the correct type and size of probe for your patient.2If you are using a disposable probe, connect the probe to the temperature cable.3Plug the probe or temperature cable into the temperature connector socket.4Apply the probe to the patient. You are advised to use a protective rubber cover on rectal probes.5Select an appropriate temperature label.6Check that the alarm settings (on or off, high and low limits) are appropriate for this patient and this type of temperature measurement.WARNINGMake sure you set alarm limits for the correct label. The alarm limits you set are stored for that particular label only. Changing the label may change the alarm limits.Selecting a Temperature for MonitoringTell the monitor which temperature you want to monitor by selecting its temperature label. The label is a unique identifier for each type of temperature. When you choose a label, the monitor uses that label's stored color and alarm settings.1In the Setup <Temp Label> menu, select Label.

This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.Note that if your monitor is connected to an Information Center, the additional labels in the extended label set may not be correctly displayed. See the Configuration Guide for your monitor for more information.Calculating Temp DifferenceThe monitor can calculate and display the difference between two temperature values by subtracting the second value from the first.

1118111Monitoring Invasive PressureWARNINGMeasurements from an MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on its own battery power. They are only available when the X2 is powered by external power: when connected to a host monitor, to the external power supply (M8023A) or to the Battery Extension (865297).CAUTIONDo not use the X2 in combination with monitors using an M1006A pressure module and the HP1290A pressure transducer. This may cause interference on the respiration or invasive pressure signals.You can measure pressure using an X1 or X2 Multi-Measurement Module (MMS), one of the MMS extensions or the pressure plug-in module. With the plug-in module you may see a wave channel before the pressure cable is plugged in - with the MMS this will not be the case.Setting up the Pressure Measurement1Plug in the pressure cable.2Prepare the flush solution.3Flush the system to exhaust all air from the tubing. Ensure that the transducer and stopcocks are free of air bubbles.WARNINGIf air bubbles appear in the tubing system, flush the system with the infusion solution again. Air bubbles may lead to a wrong pressure reading.1Connect the pressure line to the patient catheter.2If you are using an infusion pressure cuff with the pressure line, attach the pressure cuff to the fluid to be infused. Inflate it according to your standard hospital procedure, then start the infusion.
11 Monitoring Invasive Pressure1823Position the transducer so that it is level with the heart, approximately at the level of the midaxillary line.WARNINGIf measuring intracranial pressure (ICP, IC1 or IC2) with a sitting patient, level the transducer with the top of the patient's ear. Incorrect leveling may give incorrect values.Selecting a Pressure for MonitoringTell the monitor which pressure you want to monitor by selecting its pressure label. The label is a unique identifier for each type of pressure. When you choose a label, the monitor uses that label's stored settings, for example color, wave scale and alarm settings. The label also determines which algorithm is used to process the pressure signal, so an incorrect label can lead to incorrect pressure values.1In the Setup <Press Label> menu, select Label.2Select the appropriate label from the list.Extended Pressure Label SetThe following additional labels are available if Label Set is set to Full. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.Note that if your monitor is connected to an Information Center, the additional labels in the extended label set may not be correctly displayed.

11 Monitoring Invasive Pressure183Zeroing the Pressure TransducerTo avoid inaccurate pressure readings, the monitor requires a valid zero. Zero the transducer in accordance with your hospital policy. You must perform a zero:• when you use a new transducer or tubing• every time you reconnect the transducer cable to the monitor• if you think the monitor's pressure readings are not correct.When using a pressure module, the zero information is stored in the module. When a pressure module, with the transducer connected, is plugged into the monitor, the monitor will use the Zero stored in the module.Zeroing ICP (or IC1/IC2)Your hospital guidelines may require you to zero the ICP transducer less frequently than other transducers, due to the need for aseptic conditions. When you zero an ICP transducer, the zero values are automatically stored and you will not be prompted to repeat the zero procedure.If you want to simultaneously zero all pressures except ICP, disconnect the ICP transducer from the Multi-Measurement module or pressure module while zeroing. Reconnecting the transducer recalls the stored values.WARNINGIf you select the label ICP (or IC1/IC2), the measurement device uses the most recently stored zero. Therefore, make sure you zeroed the transducer correctly in accordance with the transducer manufacturer's instructions and your hospital policy. When you use a transducer that you cannot rezero after placement, ensure that you keep the measuring device with the patient so that you are certain you have the correct zero data for this patient.Determining a Pressure's Most Recent ZeroThe monitor displays the most recent zero on the status line. If this has "timed-out" after you have performed a zero, redisplay the information in the status line by entering the pressure's setup menu.Zeroing a Pressure MeasurementWARNINGInvasive pressure alarms (and pulse alarms, if derived from invasive pressure) are temporarily suppressed until 30 seconds after the transducer finishes zeroing.1Turn off the stopcock to the patient.2Vent the transducer to atmospheric pressure, to compensate for the static and atmospheric pressure exerted on the transducer.3In the setup menu for the pressure, select Zero <Press Label>.
11 Monitoring Invasive Pressure1844When you see the message <Press Label> zero done at <date and time> on the status line, close the stopcock to atmospheric pressure, and open the stopcock to the patient.CAUTIONWhen using high frequency ventilation, ensure that the tubing from the ventilator does not touch the arterial line, or connect with it indirectly, while zeroing the pressure. This could cause small pressure variations which can interfere with the zero procedure.Using the Zero HardkeyPressing the Zero hardkey for two seconds on the M1006B Pressure module starts a zero for the pressure currently measured with the module.Pressing the Zero hardkey for two seconds on the M3001A Multi-Measurement module zeros the pressure being measured by the Multi-Measurement module and the pressures from any connected MMS extensions.Zeroing All Pressures SimultaneouslyWARNINGBefore zeroing all pressures, make sure that all pressure transducers are vented to atmospheric pressure.If you are measuring pressures with more than one measuring device, using the Zero Press SmartKey to initiate the zeroing calls up a list of all active pressures. Select the pressure you want to zero or select All Press to zero all pressures simultaneously.Troubleshooting the ZeroThe status line lists the probable cause of an unsuccessful zero:Message Corrective Actionunable to zero - equipment malfunctionThe hardware is faulty. Contact your service personnel.unable to zero - excessive offsetMake sure the transducer is vented to air and try again. If this fails, the hardware may be faulty.

Using the pop-up keys you can move the cursor up or down to the required position and store the corresponding value. The cursor value can be stored • as a systolic, diastolic or mean pressure value, • as an IAP (intra-abdominal pressure) value - for the waves P, P1 to P8, if IAP is configured as a measurement which can be manually entered • as a PAWP value - if the pressure wave is a PAP wave The stored value appears in the trend database as a manually entered value.To display and position the cursor1Select the pressure wave.2Select Activate Cursor.3Use the pop-up arrow keys to position the cursor.Using the pop-up keys you can also change the scale or the speed for the wave, freeze the wave or start a printout or recording.Non-Physiological Artifact SuppressionSome clinical procedures may affect blood pressure, for example, a flush procedure or a blood sample. Your monitor may be configured to suppress these non-physiological artifacts for a specified duration (Artifact Suppr. is configured to 30 sec, 60 sec, or 90 sec). During artifact suppression, the monitor shows the INOP message <Press Label> ARTIFACT, and a question mark is shown beside the pressure numerics. Pressure alarms and the <Press Label> NON-PULSATILE INOP are suppressed during the configured period. The CPP alarms are not suppressed.Choosing the Pressure Alarm SourceWARNINGMake sure you set alarm limits for the correct label. The alarm limits you set are stored for that particular label only.

The difference is labeled CPP.1In the Main Setup menu, select Measurements.2In the Setup CPP menu, select one of the listed pressures as the arterial pressure source.Calculating Pulse Pressure VariationNote: Pulse Pressure Variation can be calculated in two different ways on this monitor - directly from the pressure measurement or in conjunction with the CCO measurement. Refer to the Cardiac Output chapter for information on PPV from CCO. Only one PPV can be active at a time.Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) is calculated from beat-to-beat arterial pressure values. Pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic and the diastolic pressure values for a single beat. Pulse pressure variation is defined as the maximal pressure less the minimum pressure divided by the average of these two pressures. The average variation in pulse pressure is calculated over periods of 32 seconds.WARNING• This monitor can calculate PPV from beat-to-beat values of any arterial pulsatile pressure. The circumstances under which the calculation of a PPV value is clinically meaningful, appropriate and reliable must be determined by a physician.• The clinical value of the derived PPV information must be determined by a physician. According to recent scientific literature, the clinical relevance of PPV information is restricted to sedated patients receiving controlled mechanical ventilation and mainly free from cardiac arrhythmia.• PPV calculation may lead to inaccurate values in the following situations:– at respiration rates below 8 rpmMessage Corrective Actionunable to calibrate - equipment malfunctionContact your service department.

In this case the monitor shows a NO PPV FROM<Server> INOP.Measuring Pulmonary Artery Wedge PressurePulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure (PAWP) values, used to assess cardiac function, are affected by:• Fluid status• Myocardial contractility• Valve and pulmonary circulation integrityObtain the measurement by introducing a balloon-tipped pulmonary artery flotation catheter into the pulmonary artery. When the catheter is in one of the smaller pulmonary arteries, the inflated balloon occludes the artery allowing the monitor to record changes in the intrathoracic pressures that occur throughout the respiration cycle. The pulmonary wedge pressure is the left ventricular end diastolic pressure (preload).The most accurate PAWP values are obtained at the end of the respiration cycle when the intrathoracic pressure is fairly constant. You can use the respiration waveform as a reference when assessing the PAWP waveform, to ensure constant measurement timing relative to the respiratory cycle. The monitor displays the PAWP value for up to 24 hours or until you admit a new patient.WARNINGThe pressure receptor in the catheter records pressure changes that occur only in front of the occlusion. Even though the catheter tip is in the pulmonary artery, the receptor records pressure changes transmitted back through the pulmonary circulation from the left side of the heart.While performing the wedge procedure, the monitor switches off the pressure alarms for pulmonary artery pressure (PAP).Due to a slight measurement delay, you should not use sidestream CO2 as a direct reference for determining the end expiratory point in the pressure curve.To start the Wedge procedure,1In the Main Setup menu, select Wedge to display the wedge procedure window.2Prepare and check the pressure line according to your hospital policy.
11 Monitoring Invasive Pressure1913Use the Refernce Wave 1 and Refernce Wave 2 pop-up keys to select any ECG or respiratory wave as reference waves.4Select Change Speed if you want to change the speed of the displayed wave. The speed can also be changed in the screen for editing the wedge.5Select Change Scale to change the wave scale of the PAP. The same scale will be used in the screen for editing the wedge. If the setting Optimum Scale is used, the wave scale will be optimized when a wedging waveform is recognized and will revert to the previous scale when the wedge procedure window is closed.6Inflate the balloon when the monitor prompts you: Ready for balloon inflation. The waveform changes from the PAP to the PAWP wave. The measurement takes approximately 12 seconds. On completion, the monitor stores the PAWP waveform display and prompts you to deflate the balloon. If the monitor cannot detect a wedging waveform you must use Store Trace to store the wedge and two reference waves manually.7Deflate the balloon when the monitor prompts you: Ready for balloon deflation and verify that the waveform returns to pulmonary artery shape.8If you need to start a new measurement, select Restart Wedge.Editing the Wedge1Select the Edit Wedge pop-up key to see the stored waveforms.2The monitor displays a cursor in the waveform at the PAWP mean value. It also displays any previously stored value and the time it was stored.3Select Change Speed if you want to change the speed (resolution) of the displayed wave.4Move the cursors up, down, right and left to set them on the correct wedge position.5Select Store Wedge to store the PAWP value.6Select Print Wedge to print the PAWP waveform and any reference waves or Record Wedge to record them. While recording or printing, you cannot perform any more Wedge tasks.WARNINGProlonged inflation can cause pulmonary hemorrhage, infarction or both. Inflate the balloon for the minimum time necessary to get an accurate measurement.If the pulmonary artery flotation catheter drifts into the wedge position without inflation of the balloon, the pulmonary artery pressure waveform assumes a wedged appearance. Take appropriate action, in accordance with standard procedures, to correct the situation.If the PAWP (mean) is greater than the PAP (systolic), deflate the balloon and report the incident in accordance with hospital policy, because the pulmonary artery could be accidentally ruptured, and the wedge value derived will not reflect the patient's hemodynamic state, but will merely reflect the pressure in the catheter or balloon.

1219312Monitoring Cardiac OutputThe Cardiac Output (C.O.) measurement invasively measures cardiac output and other hemodynamic parameters using a technique called thermodilution. This can be used to determine the flow rate of a system by introducing a cold solution into the system and measuring the resulting drop in temperature at a downstream site. The temperature change is displayed as a curve in the C.O. procedure window, and the monitor calculates the C.O. value from this curve. The C.O. value is inversely proportional to the area under the curve. As cardiac output varies continuously, a series of measurements must be carried out to achieve a reliable C.O. average value. Always use the average of multiple thermodilution measurements for therapy decisions.The measurements can be carried out using the right heart thermodilution method or the PiCCO method (transpulmonary thermodilution).• The right heart method is available with– C.O. module M1012A, standard and option #C10– M3012A Hemodynamic Measurement Extension Module, options #C05 and #C10– M3014A Capnography Measurement Extension Module, option #C05 and #C10• The PiCCO method is available with– C.O. module M1012A, option #C10– M3012A Hemodynamic Measurement Extension Module, option #C10– M3014A Capnography Measurement Extension Module, option #C10The PiCCO method additionally lets you measure Continuous Cardiac Output (CCO) by performing pulse contour analysis on the blood pressure waveform.Hemodynamic ParametersThis table illustrates the hemodynamic parameters available with each method, whether they are measured continuously, and whether they can be shown on the monitor's main screen or in the Hemodynamic Calculations window.

O. Using the PiCCO MethodThe PiCCO method combines transpulmonary thermodilution and pulse contour analysis on the blood pressure waveform. A fluid with a known volume and temperature is injected into the right atrium through a CVP catheter. The injectate bolus mixes with the blood in the heart and the change in blood temperature is measured with a thermistor at the distal end of an arterial catheter placed in one of the bigger systemic arteries, for example, the femoral or the axillary artery.The PiCCO Method requires a pressure measurement made using either the M1006B Pressure module, or a M3001A/M3002A MMS, or a measurement extension module M3015A, M3014A, or M3012A. (A pressure from an external device may not be used.) You will also need a conventional central venous (CVP) line and an arterial catheter from PULSION Medical Systems. You must use the approved catheters and puncture locations.Measuring Continuous Cardiac OutputEvery time C.O. is measured with the PiCCO method, the monitor uses this C.O. value and the result of the pulse contour analysis to calculate a patient-specific calibration factor. The monitor uses this value to compute CCO and the other continuous hemodynamic parameters. CCO values are calculated on a beat-to-beat basis and then averaged over a 12-second time frame. The calculated values are displayed as numerics on the monitor screen.Measuring Systemic Vascular ResistanceThe monitor uses CCO, an arterial pressure, and CVP to calculate a continuous SVR value. If a continuously measured CVP value is not available, the monitor uses a preset, static CVP value to calculate the SVR (you will see the INOP message SVR SET CVP USED). If the BSA is available, the monitor uses the CCI to calculate the SVRI. A CCO or CCI from an external device can also be used for the SVR/SVRI calculation.SVR/SVRI settings can be changed in the corresponding setup menu. To enter the menu, select Main Setup then Measurements followed by SVR or SVRI.To display a SVR/SVRI numeric on the Screen, select any numeric, then select Change Numeric and select SVR or SVRI from the list of available numerics.Measuring Pulse Pressure VariationNote: Pulse Pressure Variation can be calculated in two different ways on this monitor - in conjunction with CCO or directly from the pressure measurement. Refer to the Invasive Pressure chapter for information on PPV from pressure. Only one PPV can be active at a time.
12 Monitoring Cardiac Output197Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) is calculated from beat-to-beat arterial pressure values. Pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic and the diastolic pressure values for a single beat. Pulse pressure variation is defined as the maximal pressure less the minimum pressure divided by the average of these two pressures.WARNING• The monitor calculates PPV from beat-to-beat values of the arterial pressure selected for CCO. The circumstances under which the calculation of a PPV value is clinically meaningful, appropriate and reliable must be determined by a physician.• The clinical value of the derived PPV information must be determined by a physician. According to recent scientific literature, the clinical relevance of PPV information is restricted to sedated patients receiving controlled mechanical ventilation and mainly free from cardiac arrhythmia.• PPV calculation may lead to inaccurate values in the following situations:– at respiration rates below 8 rpm– during ventilation with tidal volumes lower than 8 ml/kg– for patients with acute right ventricular dysfunction ("cor pulmonale").• The PPV measurement has been validated only for adult patients
12 Monitoring Cardiac Output198Setting Up the PiCCO C.O. Measurement1Set up the arterial line using the arterial catheter (transpulmonary catheter) and the transducer kit from PULSION Medical Systems. It must be placed in one of the bigger systemic arteries, for example, the femoral or the axillary artery. You must use the approved catheters and puncture locations.2Set up the central venous line.3Connect the injectate temperature probe housing to the venous line.4Plug the C.O. interface cable into the C.O. module or measurement extension module and connect the following devices to the C.O. interface cable:– Injectate temperature probe– Thermistor connector– Remote start switch (if used).Follow your hospital standards to avoid unintentional extraction of the C.O. catheter. Secure the cable using the mounting clip shipped with each C.O. interface cable. You may also find it helpful to loop the C.O. interface cable, tape the loop, and attach it to the undersheet of the patient's bed using a safety pin.1C.O.Module2C.O.Interface Cable3 PULSION Pressure Transducer4 Press Module5 Pressure Adapter Cable6 Thermistor Connection Cable7 Thermistor Connection8 PULSION Arterial Catheter9CVP Line10 Injectate Temperature Probe Housing11 Injectate Syringe12 Injectate Temperature Probe13 Remote Switch
12 Monitoring Cardiac Output1995If you are measuring CCO, set up the pressure measurement now. The CCO measurement requires a minimally dampened invasive pressure setup. You must ensure that there are no air bubbles in the pressure line or dome and use only specified accessories.6Check that the correct measurement method is selected.If a catheter is already connected to the Cardiac Output Interface Cable, the monitor automatically recognizes the method used. If not, in the Setup C.O. menu, select Method and then select Transpulmnry.7Check that you are using the correct probe - the M1646. This is the only probe supported for use; it can be used with room temperature injectate or with cold injectate.8Check that the correct arterial catheter constant is selected.If the catheter is recognized by the monitor, the catheter constant is automatically displayed and cannot be changed manually. If it is not recognized, in the procedure window, select CathCt and use the pop-up keypad to enter the correct value. The catheter constant is usually written either on the catheter or on the catheter packaging.9Make sure that the injectate volume setting matches the injectate volume you will use. To change the volume, in the procedure window, select InjVol and select the correct injectate volume from the pop-up list.If there is a problem with the volume or temperature you have chosen, the monitor will issue a curve alert message to inform you of this.10 If you are measuring CCO or CCI, check that the correct pressure source is selected in the Setup CCO menu. The pressure label under CCO From must match the pressure measured with the arterial catheter. To change the pressure source, select CCO From to call up a list of available pressure labels and select the correct label.11 If you are measuring CCO or CCI, verify that the correct alarm source is selected in the menu item Alarms From. To change the alarm source, select Alarms From and choose either CCO or CCI.Performing PiCCO C.O. MeasurementsAlways wait for the monitor to indicate readiness for the next step before proceeding.If you are measuring CCO, all measurements should be conducted within 15 minutes. Older measurements "expire" for CCO calibration.1Enter the procedure window.2When you see the message Ready for new measurement, start the measurement by selecting the pop-up key Start C.O. or pressing the Start hardkey on the C.O. module, or pressing the remote start switch. If the measuring mode is set to Auto the Start C.O. key will also enable the automatic start of consecutive measurements.3When you hear the ready tone and see the message Stable baseline, inject now!, inject the solution into the CVP catheter.At the end of the measurement the thermodilution curve, cardiac output, index values, ITBV and EVLW values and any curve alerts are displayed and a message will appear Wait before starting new measurement or in Auto mode Prepare for next injection or press Stop.4When you see the Stable baseline, inject now! message, repeat the procedure until you have completed the measurements you want to perform. You can perform a maximum of 6 measurements before editing. If you perform more than 6 measurements without rejecting any, the oldest will automatically be deleted when a 7th curve is stored.
12 Monitoring Cardiac Output200Editing PiCCO C.O. MeasurementsIt is important to identify and reject erroneous trials, as the monitor uses all the measurement trial values you do not reject to calculate the averaged cardiac output.1Review the trials. Irregular trials or trials marked with a "?" should be reviewed carefully. Consider the similarity of the values and the shape of the C.O. curve. A normal C.O. curve has one smooth peak and returns to the temperature baseline level after the peak.2Reject unsatisfactory trials: use the Select Trial pop-up key to move between trials, then select the Accept Reject pop-up key to accept or reject trials. If you are using a touch screen you can accept or reject trials directly by tipping on the trial curve. Discard conspicuously different values. The background of rejected trials is red and the background of accepted trials is green. The monitor recalculates the average values after you reject or accept trials.If all values are different from each other, there may be true hemodynamic instability caused, for example, by severe cardiac arrhythmia.Saving and Calibrating PiCCO C.O. MeasurementsWhen you have finished editing the trials, you must save the results. This closes the measurement series, sends the average C.O. numeric to be displayed on the main screen, and stores the averaged values in the trends and calculations databases.Before the monitor can calculate CCO, you must calibrate the measurement. You should also calibrate CCO every eight hours, or if the hemodynamic condition of the patient changes consistently in the same direction over 15 minutes, or if there are large or sudden changes in the patient's condition.The monitor only uses C.O. measurements from within the last 15 minutes for calibrating CCO.To save and calibrate,• In the procedure window, select the pop-up key SaveC.O. &Cal CCO to use the averaged C.O. value to calibrate Continuous Cardiac Output (CCO).Your monitor may be configured to have two separate pop-up keys, Save C.O. and Cal CCO, instead of the combined SaveC.O. &Cal CCO.WARNINGCCO calibration is patient-specific. When the C.O. module or measurement extension module is plugged in after the patient has changed, make sure that the correct CCO calibration is used. When in doubt perform a new CCO calibration first.CCO Calibration Status IndicatorsEach measurement trial is tagged with a calibration status indicator next to its trial number. Reflecting the quality of the pressure signal during the thermodilution measurement, this tag indicates each trial's validity to be used in a CCO calibration.
12 Monitoring Cardiac Output201For a trial to be eligible for calibration, the pressure signal must be continuously available and undisturbed starting 30 seconds before the first C.O. measurement of the series. Do not zero the pressure measurement, change the pressure label, or disturb the pressure signal in any other way during this time.Measuring C.O. Using the Right Heart Thermodilution MethodIn the right heart thermodilution method, a fluid of known volume and temperature is injected into the right atrium through the proximal port of a pulmonary artery (PA) (Swan-Ganz) catheter. The injectate bolus mixes with the blood in the right ventricle and the change in blood temperature is measured with a thermistor at the distal end of the catheter in the pulmonary artery.Cal A pressure signal for CCO was available during the measurement (valid for calibration)?Cal A disturbed pressure signal for CCO was available during the measurement (valid for calibration)N/A No adequate pressure signal for CCO was available during the measurement (no valid calibration data)Exp This trial is more than 15 minutes older than the most recent trial and has expired for CCO calibration (no valid calibration data)

Secure the cable using the mounting clip shipped with each C.O. interface cable. You may also find it helpful to loop the C.O. interface cable, tape the loop, and attach it to the undersheet of the patient's bed using a safety pin.4Plug the thermistor connection cable of the PA catheter into the thermistor connector.5Connect the injectate temperature probe to the injectate temperature probe housing.6Check that the correct measurement method is selected.If a catheter is already connected to the Cardiac Output Interface Cable, the monitor automatically recognizes the method used.

MeasurementsIf you are using the flow-through method illustrated above, the injectate temperature is measured at the time of injection by the temperature probe in the injectate temperature probe housing.If you are using the ice-bath setup, the injectate temperature probe and the injectate are both placed in an ice-bath and the probe measures the temperature of the contents of the ice bucket.Setting the Computation ConstantCheck that the correct Computation Constant is entered in the procedure window. This can be found in the documentation supplied with the catheter and is based on the injectate volume, injectate temperature and catheter type. To change the value, in the procedure window, select Computation Constant and use the pop-up keypad to enter the correct value.Performing RH C.O. Measurements1Enter the procedure window.2When you see the message Ready for new measurement, select the pop-up key Start C.O.. If the measuring mode is set to Auto the Start C.O. key will also enable the automatic start of consecutive measurements.3When you hear a ready tone and see the message Inject now!, inject the solution into the right atrial port of the Swan-Ganz catheter. The optimal injection rate is 2.5 ml/second.At the end of the measurement the thermodilution curve, cardiac output, index values and curve alerts (if necessary) are displayed and a message will appear Wait before starting new measurement or in Auto mode Prepare for next injection or press Stop.4When you see the Inject now! message, repeat the procedure until you have completed the measurements you want to perform. You can perform a maximum of six measurements before editing. If you perform more than six measurements without rejecting any, the oldest will automatically be deleted when a seventh curve is stored.Editing and Saving RH C.O. MeasurementsIt is important to identify and reject erroneous measurements (called "trials"), as the monitor uses all the measurement trial values you do not reject to calculate the averaged cardiac output.1Review the trials. Irregular trials or trials marked with a "?" should be reviewed carefully. Consider the similarity of the values and the shape of the C.O. curve. A normal C.O. curve has one smooth peak and returns to the temperature baseline level after the peak.2Reject unsatisfactory trials: use the Select Trial pop-up key to move between trials, then select the Accept Reject pop-up key to accept or reject trials.

The background of rejected trials is red and the background of accepted trials is green. The monitor recalculates the average values after you reject or accept trials.If all values are different from each other, there may be true hemodynamic instability caused, for example, by severe cardiac arrhythmia.3Save average C.O. values. To close a measurement series, you must save the average values by selecting the pop-up key Save C.O.. This sends the average C.O. numeric to be displayed on the main screen, and stores the averaged values in the trends and calculations databases.
12 Monitoring Cardiac Output204Documenting C.O. MeasurementsYou can document C.O. measurements on the default printer or recorder.1In the procedure window, select the pop-up key Print/ Record.2From the pop-up list, choose:–Print Results to print the contents of the procedure window–Record Results to record the contents of the procedure window–Record Trial to send an individual trial curve to the recorder.C.O. Injectate GuidelinesThe greater the injectate volume and the colder the temperature, the more accurate the measurement. Reduced injectate volume or higher injectate temperature may reduce the specified accuracy.For adult patients, to ensure the greatest measurement accuracy, use a cold injectate (< 8°C) of 10 ml volume, if not contra-indicated by the patient's condition. Your choice of injectate volume should be based on the injectate temperature and the patient's cardiac output.Guidelines for Right Heart Thermodilution C.O. InjectateIf you are using the right heart thermodilution method, the use of injectate with a temperature less than 8°C lower than the blood temperature may cause incorrect values for the thermodilution.Guidelines for PiCCO C.O. InjectateIf you are using the PiCCO method, the use of injectate with a temperature that is not at least 12°C lower than the blood temperature may cause incorrect values for the thermodilution and CCO calibration.Injectate Volume, Patient Weight and ETVI Values (PiCCO Only)When deciding on an injectate volume and temperature, you must consider your patient's weight and extra-vascular thermal volume index (ETVI).High ETVIThe dilution of injectate is influenced by extravascular tissue and fluid. The accuracy of the PiCCO method may be reduced in patients with high extra-vascular thermal volume index (ETVI) values. Use the table below as a guide in selecting the correct injectate temperature. As shown in the table, if your patient has an ETVI > 10, you must use cold injectate.WeightUse the table below as a guide in choosing an injectate volume appropriate for the patient weight.
12 Monitoring Cardiac Output205C.O./CCO Curve Alert MessagesAfter each measurement trial, the monitor analyzes the thermodilution curve. If the curve appears abnormal, a curve alert message appears in the procedure window. A question mark symbol ("?") may appear next to the cardiac output numeric if any of these messages appear. The curve alert messages are not error messages and do not necessarily mean that the measured values are invalid.Patient WeightCold Injectate Room Temperature InjectateETVI < 10 ETVI ≥ 10 ETVI < 10 ETVI ≥ 10< 3 kg 2 ml 2 ml 3 ml Use cold injectate< 10 kg 2 ml 3 ml 3 ml< 25 kg 3 ml 5 ml 5 ml< 50 kg 5 ml 10 ml 10 ml< 100 kg 10 ml 15 ml 15 ml≥ 100 kg 15 ml 20 ml 20 ml
12 Monitoring Cardiac Output206C.O./CCO Curve Alert MessagesPossible CausesTinj off scale The Tinjectate is out of the range -1°C and 30°C. Cool down or heat up the injectate or change the injectate solution and repeat the measurement.Noisy baseline A blood temperature baseline drift that could not be compensated was detected during the C.O. measurement. Possible causes are:- Interference may be caused by a ventilator.- Interference may be caused by an infusion pump: infusions of significant volume through the central line should be paused at least 30 seconds before the first thermodilution measurement in a series and should not recommence until the measurement series is completed.- Do not administer injections through the central line during a measurement series.- Electrical devices in the vicinity can cause interference: check for infusion pumps connected to the central catheter, cables parallel to the thermodilution cable, electrocautery. Make sure all devices are properly grounded.- Wait until measurement results are displayed before moving the patient or catheter.- Close the stopcock to the injectate syringe after the injection.- Do not rinse the catheter during measurement, to avoid temperature fluctuations.Temperature baseline drift May occur if patient is recovering from open heart surgery, or if patient was cooled down for surgery and is in the process of regaining normal body temperature when the measurement is made.Small signal, more indicator requiredThe peak of the transpulmonary thermodilution curve was below 0.1ºC. Increase injectate volume and/or lower injectate temperature.Injectate temperature too high The difference between the blood and injectate temperatures is too small. The calculated value for C.O. may not be accurate.High ETVI, use cold injectate or greater inj. volumeThe ETVI value is too high. The accuracy of the transpulmonary thermodilution measurement may be reduced. Increase injectate volume and/or lower injectate temperature following the guidelines given in the section “Guidelines for PiCCO C.O. Injectate” on page 204.Disturbed injection The injection should be performed quickly and with a steady pressure. Shaking, unsteady pressure, or injections that take longer than six seconds may cause this message to appear; you should bear this in mind if you are using a large injectate volume (> 10 ml).
12 Monitoring Cardiac Output207If you have followed all of these guidelines, your measurement values should be valid, even if you still see a curve alert message. Ensure that at least three subsequent measurements within the current series do no differ by more than 15%. If the difference exceeds 15%, use your clinical judgment to determine the appropriate intervention.C.O./CCO Prompt MessagesPrompt messages appear in the procedure window if a C.O. measurement trial must be terminated.C.O./CCO Warning MessagesWarning messages contain important information about the C.O. measurement.Check Injectate Temperature Probe TypeThe recorded Tinj signal is uncharacteristic for the M1646 injectate temperature probe. An incorrect probe type may have been used.Unsteady baseline There is a noisy baseline, and thermal baseline drift.Multiple peaks Caused by faulty injection technique.Abnormal decay time May be caused by low cardiac output. Calculated value for C.O. may not be accurate.Very long curve The decay time of the curve is longer than 15 seconds.Very short curve Decay time of the curve is less than 0.5 seconds. If there is a noisy baseline, part of the baseline may have been mistaken for a thermodilution curve.

1321113Monitoring Carbon DioxideWARNINGMeasurements from an MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on its own battery power. They are only available when the X2 is powered by external power: when connected to a host monitor, to the external power supply (M8023A) or to the Battery Extension (865297).Only one CO2 measurement at a time is supported.Use the CO2 measurement to monitor the patient's respiratory status and to control patient ventilation.There are two methods for measuring carbon dioxide in the patient's airway:• Mainstream measurement uses a CO2 sensor attached to an airway adapter directly inserted into the patient's breathing system. This method is available using the M3014A Capnography Extension and the M3016A Mainstream CO2 Extension, or the X2 with the optional CO2 measurement.• Sidestream measurement takes a sample of the respiratory gas with a constant sample flow from the patient's airway and analyzes it with a remote CO2 sensor built into the measurement system. Philips offers the sidestream CO2 measurement in the M3014A Capnography Extension or the X2 with the optional CO2 measurement, and the Microstream method of sidestream CO2 measurement in the M3015A/B Microstream CO2 Extension.Refer to your Gas Module Instructions for Use, if you are using a Gas Module to monitor CO2.WARNINGCorrelation: The etCO2 readings do not always correlate closely with paCO2, especially in neonatal patients and patients with pulmonary disease, pulmonary embolism or inappropriate ventilation.Pharmaceuticals in aerosols: Do not measure CO2 in the presence of pharmaceuticals in aerosols.Explosion Hazard: Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases, such as a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide. Use of the devices in such an environment may present an explosion hazard.Failure of operation: if the measurement or a sensor fails to respond as described, do not use it until the situation has been corrected by qualified personnel.
13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide212Low etCO2 values: Leakages in the breathing system or sampling system may cause the displayed etCO2 values to be significantly too low. Always connect all components securely and check for leaks according to standard clinical procedures. Displacement of the nasal or combined nasal oral cannulas can cause lower than actual etCO2 readings. Even with combined nasal oral cannulas, the etCO2 readings may be slightly lower than actual in patients breathing through the mouth only.Measurement PrinciplesFor both mainstream and sidestream measurements, the measurement principle is infrared transmission, where the intensity of infrared light passing the respiratory gas is measured with a photo detector. As some of the infrared light is absorbed by the CO2 molecules, the amount of light passing the gas probe depends on the concentration of the measured CO2.When using a wet ventilator circuit, monitor mainstream CO2 if available, in preference to sidestream CO2.The partial pressure is calculated from the gas concentration by multiplying the concentration value with the ambient pressure.The measurement provides:•a CO2 waveform.•an end tidal CO2 (etCO2) value: the CO2 value measured at the end of the expiration phase.• an inspired minimum CO2 (imCO2): the smallest value measured during inspiration.• an airway respiration rate (awRR): the number of breaths per minute, calculated from the CO2 waveform.Depending on the Max Hold setting configured for your monitor, the etCO2 numeric shows either the highest CO2 value measured within the configured time period (Max Hold set to 10 sec or 20 sec) or the etCO2 numeric shows breath-to-breath value (Max Hold set to Off).Measuring CO2 using M3014A or X2The M3014A Capnography Extension or the X2 with the CO2 option measures partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patient's expired gas using the mainstream method or the sidestream method.The mainstream CO2 measurement can be used, with appropriate accessories, with intubated adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. The sidestream CO2 measurement can be used, with appropriate accessories, with intubated and non-intubated adult, pediatric, infant and neonatal patients. With intubated patients, a sample of the respiratory gas is drawn from the patient's breathing circuit through an airway adapter and a gas sampling tube. With non-intubated patients, the gas sample is drawn through a nasal or oral-nasal cannula.
13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide213WARNINGAltitude Setting: The monitor is not equipped with automatic barometric pressure compensation. Before the CO2 measurement is used for the first time, the altitude must be set to the correct value. An incorrect altitude setting will result in incorrect CO2 readings. The CO2 readings will typically deviate 5% for every 1000m difference.CAUTIONUse the CO2 measurement with Philips approved accessories only. Refer to the instructions for use provided with the accessory.Preparing to Measure Mainstream CO2You must perform a zero as described in this procedure each time you use a new airway adapter.1Attach the sensor connector to the CO2 connector on the MMS extension, or on the X2 (when the optional CO2 measurement is integrated).2Wait 2 minutes, allowing the sensor to reach its operating temperature and a stable thermal condition.3Choose the appropriate airway adapter and connect it to the sensor head. The airway adapter clicks into place when seated correctly. To zero the sensor:– expose the sensor to room air and keep it away from all sources of CO2 including the ventilator, the patient's breath and your own.– in the setup menu for the CO2, select Start Zero Cal.
13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide214– When you see the message CO₂ calibration done at <date and time> on the status line, the zero calibration is finished and you can begin monitoring.4Install the airway adapter at the proximal end of the circuit between the elbow and the ventilator Y-section.WARNINGTo prevent stress on the endotracheal tube, support the sensor and airway adapter.Position sensor cables and tubing carefully to avoid entanglement or potential strangulation. Do not apply excessive tension to any cable.Replace the airway adapter, if excessive moisture or secretions are observed in the tubing or if the CO2 waveform changes unexpectedly without a change in patient status.To avoid infection, use only sterilized, disinfected or disposable airway adapters.Inspect the airway adapters prior to use. Do not use if airway adapter appears to have been damaged or broken. Observe airway adapter color coding for patient population.Preparing to Measure Sidestream CO21Plug the sensor cable into the monitor's CO2 input connector. Allow the sensor two minutes warm up time 2Connect the cannula, airway adapter, or sample line as appropriate, to the sensor. It will click into place when seated correctly.3To zero the sensor:
13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide215– expose the sensor to room air and keep it away from all sources of CO2 including the ventilator, the patient's breath and your own.– in the setup menu for the CO2, select Start Zero Cal.– when you see the message zero done at <date and time> on the status line, the zero calibration is finished and you can begin monitoring.4For intubated patients requiring an airway adapter: Install the airway adapter at the proximal end of the circuit between the elbow and the ventilator Y-section. For intubated patients with an integrated airway adapter in the breathing circuit.: Connect the male luer connector on the straight sample line to the female port on the airway adapter.For non-intubated patients: Place the nasal cannula onto the patient.For patients prone to mouth breathing use an oral-nasal cannula.For nasal or oral-nasal cannulas with oxygen delivery, place the cannula on the patient as shown then attach the oxygen supply tubing to the oxygen delivery system and set the prescribed oxygen flow.WARNINGAlways connect the airway adapter to the sensor before inserting the airway adapter into the breathing circuit. In reverse, always remove the airway adapter from the breathing circuit before removing the sensor.Make sure that you do not accidentally connect the luer connector of the gas sample line to an infusion link or any other links in the patient vicinity.
13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide216CAUTIONAlways disconnect the cannula, airway adapter or sample line from the sensor when not in use.Using the Sidestream Sensor HolderThe holder delivered with the sensor can be used to clamp the sensor onto an IV pole or a shelf.1Push the sensor into the holder until it clicks into position.2Clamp the holder onto an IV pole, a shelf or another appropriate location.To remove the sensor from the holder, release the clip and pull the sensor out of the holder.Removing Exhaust Gases from the SystemWARNINGAnesthetics: When using the sidestream CO2 measurement on patients who are receiving or have recently received anesthetics, connect the outlet to a scavenging system, to avoid exposing medical staff to anesthetics.Use an exhaust tube to remove the sample gas to a scavenging system. Attach it to the sidestream sensor at the outlet connector.Measuring Mainstream CO2 using M3016AThe M3016A Mainstream CO2 Extension measures partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patient's expired gas using the mainstream method. When using the appropriate accessories you can use the mainstream CO2 measurement with ventilated adults, pediatric and neonatal patients.WARNINGInfra-red radiation: Do not expose the airway adapter or M1460A transducer to infra-red radiation during use. This may cause incorrect readings.
13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide217Preparing to Measure Mainstream CO21Attach the transducer connector to the CO2 connector on the M3016A extension.2Wait 20 minutes, allowing the transducer to reach its operating temperature and a stable thermal condition.3Perform an accuracy check and then, if necessary, calibrate the transducer.Checking Transducer AccuracyWARNINGCheck transducer accuracy at least once a week or if you doubt the CO2 readings.1In Setup CO₂ menu, select Cal. Mode to switch on calibration mode.2Look at the calibration value displayed in the Setup CO₂ menu next to Start CAL1. Is it the same as the value on the calstick? If not, calibrate the transducer now.3Place the transducer on the low cell of the calstick (labeled 0.0 mmHg or "ZERO"). The reading on the screen should be zero within ±1 mmHg within one minute.4Place the transducer on the high cell of the calstick. The reading on the screen should be within ±1 mmHg of the value on the calstick within one minute.5If both readings are in range, you can leave calibration mode and begin monitoring. If either of the readings is out of range, calibrate the transducer.Calibrating the Transducer1Check that the windows on the calstick are clean and clear.2Place the transducer on one of the calstick cells and select Start CAL1.3Enter the calibration value printed on the calstick then press Confirm to start calibration.4When the message CO₂ CAL1 calibration done -- Start CAL2 calibration appears, put the transducer on the other cell and select Start CAL2 then press Confirm.5When you see the message CO₂ calibration completed - leave Cal. Mode, calibration is complete.6Select Cal. Mode to switch calibration mode off. You cannot monitor in calibration mode.Attaching and Removing the CO2 Transducer1Open the latch and place the transducer (B) onto the airway adapter (A). Place the airway adapter in the patient's breathing circuit between the endotracheal tube and the Y-piece. You may see the
13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide218CO₂ SENS.WARMUP message until the transducer reaches operating temperature. Wait until this disappears before starting the measurement.2To remove the transducer from the airway adapter, open the latch and pull out the airway adapter.WARNINGTo prevent stress on the endotracheal tube, support the transducer and airway adapter.To avoid infection, use only sterilized airway adapters.Measuring Microstream CO2 using M3015A/BThe M3015A/B Microstream CO2 Extension measures the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patient's expired gas using Microstream technology.The measurement is equipped with an automatic barometric pressure compensation.
13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide219Preparing to Measure Microstream CO2Use appropriate accessories for:• the patient type (adult, pediatric or neonatal),• the ventilation situation (including humidification)• the duration - short term use, up to 24 hours (typically OR), or long term use (typically ICU).All accessories are for single patient use only.Using Microstream AccessoriesThe Microstream measurement can be operated with the special Microstream accessories only. Refer to the instructions for use provided with the accessory.For intubated patient with non-humidified ventilation, you can use a Microstream FilterLine set. For humidified ventilation, use a FilterLine H Set.For non-intubated patients, the gas sample is taken through a Nasal FilterLine, or a Smart CapnoLine (which is a combined oral-nasal FilterLine). In parallel to the measurement of the CO2, oxygen (O2) may be delivered to the patient to support gas exchange. This is done by using an O2/CO2 FilterLine, or a Smart CapnoLine O2 (a combined oral-nasal O2/CO2 FilterLine).Using the FilterLine and Airway AdapterWARNINGMake sure that you do not accidentally connect the luer connector of the gas sample line to an infusion link or any other links in the patient vicinity.1Attach the female Luer connector to the CO2 inlet connector by pushing the socket cover aside and screwing the connector into place.2Check that the FilterLine is not kinked.3Change the FilterLine if a CO₂ OCCLUSION INOP appears on the monitor or if the readings become extremely erratic.Disconnect the FilterLine during suctioning and nebulizing therapies or suppress sampling by turning off the pump as described in “Suppressing Sampling (not Mainstream CO2)” on page 221.Check the table in the Microstream CO2 Accessories section of the Accessories chapter for typical usage times for the different Microstream accessories.CO2 values for non-intubated patients using Microstream accessories will always tend to be lower than for intubated patients. If values appear extremely low, check whether the patient is breathing through the mouth or whether one nostril is blocked.
13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide220Removing Exhaust Gases from the SystemWARNINGAnesthetics: When using the Microstream CO2 measurement on patients who are receiving or have recently received anesthetics, connect the outlet to a scavenging system, or to the anesthesia machine/ventilator, to avoid exposing medical staff to anesthetics.Use an exhaust tube to remove the sample gas to a scavenging system. Attach it to the MMS Extension at the outlet connector.Suppressing Zero CalibrationTo prevent an automatic zero calibration from being started in the next five minutes,•in the Setup CO₂ menu, select No Zero For 5Min, or select the Suppress CO₂ Zero SmartKey, if configured.Selecting No Zero For 5Min or selecting the Suppress CO₂ Zero SmartKey again before the timer has timed out resets the timer to five minutes, unless an AutoZero became due during the previous suppression.Setting up all CO2 MeasurementsThese tasks are common to all CO2 measurements except where otherwise noted.Adjusting the CO2 Wave Scale1In the CO₂ Wave menu or the Setup CO₂ menu, select Scale.2Choose a suitable scale range from the pop-up list.Setting up CO2 CorrectionsTemperature, water vapor in the patient's breath, barometric pressure, and the proportions of O2, N2O and Helium in the mixture all influence CO2 absorption. If values seem inaccurately high or low, check that the monitor is using the appropriate corrections.

1422314Monitoring Airway Flow,Volume and PressureThe M1014A Spirometry Module is designed to be used in combination with Philips-branded airway flow sensors and combined CO2/airway flow sensors. It produces a real time wave for flow, volume and pressure of respiratory gases together with numerics for analysis of ventilatory mechanics.The measurement provides:• Airway flow, airway volume and airway pressure waveform.•Numerics for:– respiratory rate–tidal volume– minute volume– PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure)– PIP (peak inspiration pressure)– dynamic compliance– airway resistance• Numerics for: (only visible in SpirometryValues Window, no alarming, no trending)–peak inspiratory flow–peak expiratory flow– negative inspiratory pressure– mean airway pressure– plateau pressure numeric–I:E ratioThe measurement also provides pressure-volume loops, flow-volume loops and pressure-flow loops. Please see the “Respiratory Loops” on page 355 chapter for details on loops.When using combined CO2/Flow sensors you can also perform mainstream capnography with intubated adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. See the Measuring CO2 chapter for details on the CO2 measurement and the Accessories chapter for a list of compatible accessories.
14 Monitoring Airway Flow, Volume and Pressure224WARNINGElectrical Shock Hazard: Do not open the module. Contact with exposed electrical components may cause electrical shock. Always turn off and remove power before cleaning the module. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.Attaching the Flow SensorCAUTIONUse the M1014A Spirometry Module with Philips approved accessories only. Refer to the instructions for use provided with the accessory.1Select the appropriate flow sensor. Make sure that you are using the correct sensor for the respective patient category. Otherwise accuracy may be reduced.You can also use combined CO2/flow sensors. Note that the M3014A Capnography Extension is required to measure CO2.Pediatric/Adult Flow Sensor (M2785A).

14 Monitoring Airway Flow, Volume and Pressure2251If you are using a combined CO2/Flow sensor, connect it to the CO2 sensor head first. The airway adapter clicks into place when seated correctly.2Click the connector into place in the flow sensor receptacle on the monitor before connecting to the breathing circuit.3Install the flow sensor or the combined CO2/Flow sensor at the proximal end of the breathing circuit between the elbow and the ventilator Y-piece. Make sure that the spirometry sensor is in a horizontal position with its tubing pointing upwards. The correct position is also indicated by an arrow on some of the sensors. (Graphic shows combined CO2/Flow Sensors).1 Pediatric/adult sensor2 Pediatric sensor3 Infant/Neonatal sensorWARNINGTo prevent stress on the endotracheal tube, support the sensor and airway adapter.Position sensor cables and tubing carefully to avoid entanglement or potential strangulation. Do not apply excessive tension to any cable or tubing.Replace the sensor, if excessive moisture or secretions are observed in the tubing and cannot be removed by a purge cycle.Reuse poses a patient hazard. Do not disassemble, clean, disinfect or sterilize the sensor.A system leak may significantly affect readings of flow, volume, pressure and other respiratory mechanics parameters.Do not leave the sensor in the patient circuit when not connected to the monitor.NOTE• Do NOT place the airway adapter between the endotracheal tube and the elbow (pediatric/adult circuit), as this may allow patient secretions to block adapter windows.• The striped tubing of the flow sensor should always be proximal to the patient.• Position the airway adapter with the spirometry tubing pointing upwards.• To prevent "rain-out" and moisture from draining into the airway adapter, do NOT place the airway adapter in a gravity dependent position.
14 Monitoring Airway Flow, Volume and Pressure226• Periodically check the flow sensor and tubing for excessive moisture or secretion build up. Perform a purge cycle if droplets are visible within the sensor or tubing. Repeat if necessary. If purging does not remove the droplets, replace the sensor.• For routine performance of airway care, separate the system between the endotracheal tube and the airway adapter (neonatal circuit), or between the endotracheal tube and elbow (pediatric/adult circuit). Lavage and suctioning of the airway can then be performed without fluids and mucous accumulating on the airway adapter windows.• Measurement values provided by a ventilator may differ significantly from the values provided by the spirometry module, due to different locations of the flow sensor.• Incorrect entry of gas compensation parameters (i.e. temperature, gas composition) may reduce the accuracy of the measured values.• An abnormal volume waveform as displayed below may be an indicator of an air leak:In general, if MVexp or TVexp are significantly smaller than MVin or TVin, the tubing should be checked for leaks.Zero CalibrationThe zero calibration maintains the accuracy of the spirometry waves and numerics by regularly compensating for drifts within the measurement section. It is performed automatically without user interaction and takes about 2 seconds to complete. The automatic zero calibration is normally carried out every ten minutes. During warm-up or when the ambient pressure changes, this interval may be reduced to two minutes.During the zero calibration the waveform is flat but the numerics remain on the screen. Typically, a zero calibration is started at the beginning of a respiration cycle, therefore a waveform may begin normally and then immediately become flat for the time of the zero calibration.1 Zero Calibration
14 Monitoring Airway Flow, Volume and Pressure227Automatic PurgingA double lumen connecting line (tubing) connects the flow sensors to the patient monitor. The M1014A Spirometry Module includes an automatic and manual purge feature which provides a flush of room air to keep the sensor tubing free from water condensation and patient secretions. This feature is available for the adult, pediatric, and neonatal modes. The purge will begin with the exhalation portion of the ventilator cycle.NOTE• During the purge cycle the pump will be heard• If the purge does not sufficiently clear the flow tubing lines, the flow sensor should be replaced• With each purge cycle, a zero calibration is automatically performedAdult ModeThe system automatically purges the sensor tubing every ten minutes or less, depending on system conditions. In adult mode, the system will purge both sides of the line, one at a time, during each purge cycle. The higher the pressure, the more frequent the purging. This action anticipates increased moisture migration into the sensor tubing due to the increase in circuit pressure.Neonatal and Pediatric ModesThe automatic purge cycles used in the neonatal or pediatric mode is fixed at every three minutes regardless of circuit pressure. Only one side of the sensor tubing will be purged during each purge cycle.Unlike the adult purge mode, the neonatal or pediatric purge mode does not use the full force of the internal pump, but rather pressurizes an internal reservoir which is used for the purge. This minimizes the pressure delivered to the ventilator circuit, but does deliver a sufficient pressure to purge the sensor tubing.Manual PurgingOccasionally, purging may be required in between the automatic purge cycles. The manual purge may be used as often as needed. Check the orientation of the flow sensor if repeated manual purge cycles become necessary.To manually purge, press the Purge button on the module (marked by on international versions of the module) or select Purge in the Setup Spirometry window to initiate a combined purge and zero cycle.Gas CompensationTemperature and the proportions of individual gases influence the flow measurement. If values seem inaccurately high or low, check that the monitor is using the appropriate gas compensation. Gas compensation can be done using either manually entered gas concentrations or gas concentrations from the gas analyzer.
14 Monitoring Airway Flow, Volume and Pressure228NOTEIf you unintentionally switch the gas compensation to the incorrect setting, the accuracy of the measured flow and volume values may be significantly reduced. The tables below show examples of incorrect gas compensation settings and the resulting inaccuracies:Incorrect Balance Gas Setting (N2O instead of N2)Incorrect Agent Percentage SettingSetting up SpirometryThe following settings can be accessed through the Setup Spirometry menu.Optimizing Scale SettingsIn the Setup Spirometry menu, select Optimize Scales.

1523115Monitoring tcGasThe tcGas module measures the partial pressure of the oxygen and carbon dioxide that diffuses through the skin, thereby providing a measure of these gases in the capillary blood.The monitor's settings for altitude and barometric pressure influence the measurement. The tcpO2/tcpCO2 measurement is valid for an infant patient not under gas anesthesia. Anesthetic agents, such as halothane, can cause incorrect or drifting readings.Transcutaneous measurements cannot replace arterial blood gas monitoring. However, you can use transcutaneous monitoring to reduce the frequency of arterial sampling. The values at tissue level will not be the same as those measured arterially because the measurement is transcutaneous. They correlate with (track closely) the arterial values. For example, a drop in transcutaneous values usually indicates a corresponding drop in arterial values.Transcutaneous values will not always correlate with blood samples taken from the capillary blood of the heel (heelsticks or astrups).Identifying tcGas Module ComponentsSetting the tcGas Sensor Temperature1In the Setup tcGas menu, select Transducer Temp..1Press to enter Setup tcGas menu2Press to start calibration3Calibration chamber4Transducer connector
15 Monitoring tcGas2322Choose a temperature value appropriate for your patient's age, weight and physical condition in accordance with your hospital policy.Usually, a higher transducer temperature gives a better correlation and a quicker response time. However, higher temperatures also increase the risk of skin burns. Most physicians prefer a temperature between 42°C (107°F) and 44°C (111°F), and a site time of four hours or less. Usually, the higher the transducer temperature, the less the site time should be. Whenever you change the temperature setting, the monitor forces you to make a new calibration.Using the tcGas Site TimerAvailability and behavior of the site timer depend on your monitor's configuration.WARNINGProlonged continuous monitoring may increase the risk of undesirable changes in skin characteristics, such as irritation, reddening, blistering or burns. If the site timer is disabled, the transducer will heat indefinitely while on a patient. Change the site regularly, in accordance with medical procedures in your hospital.Setting the tcGas Site TimerThe site timer helps reduce the risk of skin burn by ensuring that the transducer is used at one site for no longer than a predefined period. It reminds you when this period expires.1In the Setup tcGas menu, select Site Time.2Choose the time you want the transducer to remain on the measurement site. The optimum time depends on the transducer temperature and your patient's skin sensitivity.The site timer starts automatically when you remove the calibrated transducer from the calibration chamber. If you return the transducer to the chamber and then remove it again, the site time continues to count down the remaining time; it does not start a new time period. The time remaining before the site timer expires appears in the status line which is visible as long as the Setup tcGas menu is open. When the time expires, the monitor sounds a tone and a displays a change site INOP. The monitor either switches off the transducer heating or continues monitoring, depending on its configuration. Although you can reuse the transducer for up to two hours after the heating is switched off, without making a new calibration, you are recommended to recalibrate before applying it to a patient. After two hours without heat, you must recalibrate.During the initial few minutes of use, the monitor eliminates false alarms by temporarily suppressing tcGas alarms. It displays the <tcGas Label> STABILIZING INOP. After you apply the transducer to the skin, the instrument reading slowly assumes a steady value. The reading stabilizes when the measurement site is warm and local hyperemization is complete. This takes 10 to 20 minutes for the tcpO2 reading and three to seven minutes for tcpCO2.Restarting the tcGas SiteTimerTo restart the site timer without recalibration (for example, after the site time has elapsed):1In the Setup tcGas menu, select Site Time.2Enter and confirm your desired time.
15 Monitoring tcGas233Disabling the tcGas Site TimerDepending on your monitor's configuration, you might be able to disable the site timer. Remember, this means that the transducer heats indefinitely while on a patient.1In Setup tcGas menu, select Site Timer and switch this to Disabled.2Select the Confirm pop-up key.Setting the tcGas Barometric PressureAltitude and barometric pressure affect tcGas values. The monitor derives barometric pressure from its altitude setting. If you want to set the true barometric pressure you must do this before starting a calibration - changes after calibration do not influence tcGas values. The monitor remembers this pressure setting until you enter a new one.1In the Setup tcGas menu, select Ambient Pressure.2Enter the current barometric pressure reading indicated by your barometer.3Select the Confirm pop-up key.Remembraning the tcGas TransducerFollow the instructions supplied with the transducer.New/Dried Out TransducersRemembrane all new or dried out transducers twice before using. After the first remembraning, unplug the transducer from the module and leave it for 24 hours with the cap on. Remembrane again before calibrating.Storing tcGas TransducersIf you need to store a sensor for more than 24 hours, protect it for up to 28 days by putting two drops of electrolyte solution into the cap. Screw the cap on the sensor. Remembrane if it dries out or after 28 days.Calibrating the tcGas TransducerYou can use either a Philips (15210B) or a Radiometer TCC3 calibration unit and a gas cylinder whose pressure indicator is above the 'out-of-gas' zone (black on 15210B, red on TCC3). To maintain accuracy, it is recommended to calibrate the transducer every four hours, even if the monitor does not prompt you to do so. You MUST calibrate when:• you remembrane the transducer• you change the transducer heat setting• you doubt the measurement accuracy• you start a new monitoring period or use a new site• the monitor displays the Calibration required INOP message.
15 Monitoring tcGas2341Connect the calibration unit to the inlet on the side of the module's calibration chamber using the recommended gas tubing. Different tubing will cause inaccurate measurements.2Plug the transducer cable into the module. Swing the calibration chamber cover open and insert the transducer into the chamber. Close the cover to secure the transducer. Set the transducer temperature at the monitor now.3On the 15210B calibration unit, turn the timer control clockwise as far as you can. On the Radiometer calibration unit, press the button with the green arrow once.4Press CAL on the module until the light above the key comes on and wait (three - 20 minutes) for the completion message to appear on the monitor. Alternatively, in the Setup tcGas menu, select StartCalibration. To save gas on 15210B, if the timer control dial is not in the start position when the monitor displays the completion message, turn the dial counter-clockwise to the start position. For TCC3, if the green light is still flashing when INOP <tcGas Label> CAL RUNNING disappears, press the green arrow button again.Calibration FailureIf calibration fails, the monitor displays <tcGas Label> transducer or cal. unit malfunction and the <tcGas Label> CAL FAILED INOP for the measurement.
15 Monitoring tcGas235Troubleshooting tcGas CalibrationPerform each of the following steps, in order, until calibration is successful.1Check the calibration unit, then recalibrate, remembering to turn on the gas supply on the calibration unit. If the pressure indicator reading is in the out of gas zone, there is insufficient gas in the cylinder. Connect the gas tubing firmly to the calibration unit and to the module's calibration chamber.2If Step 1 fails, check whether you need to activate the transducer (necessary if the electrolyte has dried out or if you have a new transducer). Remembrane the transducer, removing the old membranes, and cleaning the transducer head thoroughly.3Calibrate a second time.4If Step 2 is unsuccessful, calibrate again. This calibration may be required to stabilize the electrochemical system in the transducer.5Only if the above steps are unsuccessful (you have activated and remembraned the transducer and calibration has still failed twice), replace the transducer.Applying the tcGas Transducer1Peel protection film from fixation ring. Using a finger, press the sticky side of the ring on to clean, dry skin. Press around the outside to ensure a good seal. Apply three to five drops of contact fluid in the ring's center. Remove transducer from chamber.2Align the arrow on the transducer with the tab on the ring and fasten by turning a quarter-turn clockwise. Wait 10-20 minutes for readings to stabilize.3Apply the transducer as soon as possible after you see the message indicating that calibration is complete. If you wait longer than 30 minutes, the heat supply to the transducer switches off to prevent the electrolyte from drying out and a new calibration is necessary.Optimize the measurement by selecting a site with high capillary density and blood flow, thin epidermis and no cardiovascular disorders. Most physicians use the abdomen, chest and back.
15 Monitoring tcGas236WARNINGYou must either remove the transducer before defibrillating, or remembrane and calibrate the transducer after defibrillating.CAUTIONTo avoid transducer damage, remove it from the patient during high frequency surgical procedures.Selecting the tcGas HeatPowerDisplay ModeThe heat power display gives an indication of the skin's perfusion below the transducer and of the transducer's contact with the skin. If the transducer loses contact, the heat power value drops significantly. When perfusion is poor you need less heat power to maintain the transducer temperature.•In the Setup tcGas menu, select HeatPowerDisplay and then Relative or Absolute. Choose Relative when the skin temperature is stable (the <tcGas Label> STABILIZING INOP disappears). This indicates subsequent changes in the relative heat power (and therefore changes in perfusion or transducer contact) since the last zeroing.Zeroing the tcGas Relative Heat PowerWhen you start a calibration, the HeatPowerDisplay is set to Absolute. When you switch to Relative, it automatically zeros. Zero again if you change application site.Finishing tcGas MonitoringReplace the transducer in the calibration chamber.When changing the application site after a measuring period, some users leave the fixation rings in position to allow them to quickly move the transducer from site to site. Always unscrew the transducer from the fixation ring before removing the fixation ring from the skin.TcGas CorrectionsTranscutaneous pCO2 values tend to be higher than arterial values due to the metabolic processes of the skin and the effect of heating on the blood under the transducer. Depending on your monitor's configuration, one or both of these corrections may automatically apply.Temperature Correction for tcpCO2The transducer temperature causes an increase in partial CO2 pressure. Your monitor may be configured to correct this.•In the Setup tcGas menu, look at the menu item CO₂ Correction. If correction is enabled, it is set to On.
15 Monitoring tcGas237Metabolism Correction for tcpCO2CO2 production in the epidermis increases the CO2 value. Your monitor may be configured to automatically deduct a metabolism factor (only applies when CO₂ Correction is on).In the Setup tcGas menu, look at the value shown for the menu item MetabolismFactor. This is deducted from the CO2 value.

1623916Monitoring IntravascularOxygen SaturationDepending on the probe or catheter used and the measurement location, the two modules, M1011A and M1021A, measure the central venous oxygen saturation or mixed venous oxygen saturation continuously and invasively.The two modules can be differentiated by their size and their labeling. The M1011A is a single-width module (narrow) and is labeled SO2. The M1021A is a double-width module (wide) and is labeled SvO2.WARNINGInjected dyes, such as methylene blue, or intravascular dyshemoglobin may lead to inaccurate measurements.Do not monitor oxygen saturation during infusion of I.V. fat emulsion or other turbid substances through the distal lumen of the OptiCath catheter. These liquids might temporarily modify the blood scattering and absorption characteristics at the catheter tip. This interferes with the optical measurement of oxygen saturation. After infusion is complete, you can again monitor oxygen saturation accurately.During injection of the bolus for thermodilution cardiac output measurements, the SvO2 measurement might be disturbed.Explosion Hazard: Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases, such as a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide. Use of the devices in such an environment may present an explosion hazard.1 M1011A2 M1021A
16 Monitoring Intravascular Oxygen Saturation240Do not use probes/catheters when they, or the packaging, are damaged.Always select the correct label for the measurement location and the catheter/probe in use. This is especially important when Protocol Watch is in use, to ensure that the correct limits are used for the criteria applied.CAUTIONUse the modules with Philips approved accessories only. Refer to the instructions for use provided with the accessory.Selecting a Measurement LabelAlways select a measurement label before inserting a catheter/probe.Use the SvO2 label when the catheter/probe will be located in the pulmonary artery (measuring mixed venous oxygen saturation). This is the only label which allows the measurement value to be used to calculate oxygen extraction (see “Calculating Oxygen Extraction” on page 245) and in the standard oxygen calculations.Use the ScvO2 label when the catheter/probe will be located in a central vein (measuring central venous oxygen saturation.Use the SO2 label in all other cases.To select a measurement label:1Select Main Setup then Measurements followed by <SO₂ Label>2Select Label.3Select the appropriate label for the catheter/probe location.Preparing to Monitor with the M1021A Wide ModuleIn addition to the measurement module, you need a Hospira OptiCath catheter, and 50131 Optical Module. Use only the Hospira accessories listed in the Accessories section.
16 Monitoring Intravascular Oxygen Saturation241Connect the optical module (Hospira 50131) to the measurement module. Allow the optical module to warm up before you perform a calibration. Although the warm up message disappears from the screen after one minute, Hospira recommends letting the optical module warm up for 15 minutes for best accuracy. Please refer to the instructions for the optical module.To avoid false alarms during the pre-insertion calibration and insertion of the catheter into the patient, the monitor automatically suspends alarms during the pre-insertion calibration, for up to three minutes after you remove the catheter tip from the optical reference. After light intensity calibration, or after three minutes (whichever comes first), the monitor returns to the alarm state it was in prior to pre-insertion calibration.Carrying out a Pre-insertion CalibrationWARNINGIt is strongly recommended to carry out a pre-insertion calibration prior to all insertions. If this is not possible, you must perform an in-vivo calibration after insertion.Refer to the instructions for use that accompany the catheter. Do not use the catheter if the packaging is damaged. If you have to disconnect the monitor from the patient (for example, when transferring the patient from one location to another), you must disconnect at the SvO2 module. The catheter should remain in the optical module, otherwise you need to recalibrate.1Remove outer wrapping from catheter tray to uncover optical connector.2Place the optical module on the catheter tray in the space provided and open the lid.3Place the optical connector into the optical module (with the label "TOP" facing upwards) and close the lid.4In the Setup <SO₂ Label> menu, select Start Pre-InsCal. Ensure that the tip of the catheter is still in the optical reference.5Insert the catheter when you see the message <SO₂ Label> calibration completed - catheter ready for insertion. If the calibration fails, repeat the calibration before inserting the catheter. If it fails a second time, replace the optical module.1Optical module2Balloon inflation stopcock3Hospira fiber optic catheter4Optical reference5Enter setup/calibration
16 Monitoring Intravascular Oxygen Saturation242Inserting the Catheter1Remove the inner cover of the catheter tray.2Remove the catheter tip from the optical reference. Check the catheter's proper operation (for example: the balloon tip).3Prepare and insert the catheter in accordance with standard hospital practice.The SvO2 catheter is thin and flexible, treat it carefully. Avoid kinking, bending or grasping the catheter with forceps or a hemostat. Damage to the fiber results in low intensity light and sudden decrease in intensity readings. Refer to the documentation provided with the fiber-optic catheter, paying special attention to any precautions, warnings or contraindications.Secure the optical module directly or in close proximity to the patient, to avoid placing excessive tension on the catheter, which would result in movement of the catheter tip from the optimal position in the patient. Position the optical module to avoid contact with liquids, because fluid entering the catheter-optical module connection may impair light transmission.If you place the catheter in the patient without performing the pre-insertion calibration, you must perform an in-vivo calibration once the catheter is in place.Performing a Light Intensity CalibrationPerform a light intensity calibration after the catheter is in its proper position. When the catheter is positioned properly, the light intensity indicator must cover at least two small divisions above the midpoint.•In the Setup <SO₂ Label> menu, select Start Light Cal.Calibration is complete after a few seconds. If you doubt existing light intensity readings, recalibrate.Performing In-Vivo CalibrationPerform an in-vivo calibration:• if you place the catheter in a patient without performing a pre-insertion calibration.• if the catheter was disconnected from the optical module.• when the catheter has been in the patient for 24 hours.• if any significant change in light intensity occurs that the monitor cannot correct automatically.Setting Up the In-Vivo CalibrationCheck for:• proper positioning of the catheter in the patient.• relatively stable oxygen saturation in patient.•that the SvO2 light intensity indicator covers at least two divisions above the midpoint.

1724717Monitoring EEGThe Electroencephalograph (EEG) module monitors the patient's cerebral function by measuring the electrical activity of the brain. It provides the monitor with two channels of realtime EEG waves, EEG trend information in the form of Compressed Spectral Arrays (CSA), and up to eight of the following numerics:Spectral Edge Frequency - The SEF is the frequency below which a defined percentage of the Total Power lies. The percentage is set in Configuration Mode.Mean Dominant Frequency (MDF) - The MDF is the mean value of the frequency which dominates the measured EEG.Peak Power Frequency (PPF) - The PPF is the frequency with the highest measured amplitude.Total Power (TP) - The TP numeric indicates the power in the measured frequency band.Percentage of total power in each frequency band:–Alpha waves (8 to 13 Hz)–Beta waves (13 to 30 Hz)–Theta waves (4 to 8 Hz)–Delta waves (0.5 to 4 Hz).EEG Monitoring Setup1Plug the trunk cable into the EEG module.2Prepare the patient's skin prior to placing the electrodes. Good electrode-to-skin contact is important for a good EEG signal, as the skin is a poor conductor of electricity.– Shave hair from sites, if necessary.– Wash sites thoroughly with soap and water. We do not recommend using ether or pure alcohol, because this dries the skin and increases the resistance.– Use a skin preparation paste to remove skin cells and oil before placing the electrodes.3Select the desired electrode montage in the Setup EEG menu or in the EEG Impedance / Montage window.4Attach the reference electrode first.5Place the electrodes on the patient's head according to the selected montage. Use electrode gel if you are not using pre-gelled electrodes. Remember to select a site where the signal will not be interfered with by muscle artifacts.6Connect the electrode connector end to the trunk cable.

If the limit is exceeded during monitoring, an INOP will appear and the graphic impedance indicator will change.To change the impedance limit, either• use the pop-up keys that appear with the EEG Impedance / Montage window, or•in the Setup EEG menu, select Impedance Limit to call up a list of selections between 1 and 30 kOhm, then select the required limit from this list.About Electrode-to-Skin ImpedanceElectrode-to-skin impedance is the main quality indicator for the measured EEG signal. During normal EEG monitoring, electrode-to-skin impedance is measured continuously and disconnected electrodes are detected. The impedance value for each single, independent signal electrode is displayed in the EEG Impedance / Montage window. If the measured electrode-to skin impedance of one or more electrodes is above the limit, an INOP will be issued.For impedance measurement at least two electrodes, plus the reference electrode, must be connected.

17 Monitoring EEG253EEG Safety InformationWARNINGDo not touch the patient, or table, or instruments during defibrillation.When connecting electrodes and/or patient cables, ensure that the EEG leads and connectors do not come into contact with other conductive parts or earth.High-frequency Surgery - To reduce the hazard of burns in the high-frequency surgical neutral electrode connection, the EEG electrodes should not be located between the surgical site and the electrosurgical unit return electrode.EEG and Electrical InterferenceCAUTIONInterference from a non-grounded instrument near the patient and electrosurgery interference can cause problems with the waveform and the CSA.Radiated field strengths above 1 V/m and patient signals ≤ 50 µV may cause noise on the EEG waves at various frequencies. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid the use of electrical radiating equipment in close proximity to the patient monitor. The noise does not influence the measurement accuracy.Interference from ECG can be eliminated by adjusting the low filter settings.

1825518Monitoring BISBispectral Index monitoring helps to monitor the level of consciousness of a patient under general anesthesia or sedation in the OR and ICU. The BIS sensor is placed on the patient's forehead to capture electroencephalographic (EEG) signals from which several numerics are derived, including a single BIS value representing the level of consciousness. See the chapter on Specifications for the BIS intended use statement.The BIS Module provides the monitor with an EEG wave and the following numerics:Bispectral Index (BIS). The BIS numeric reflects the patient’s level of consciousness. It ranges from 100 (fully awake) to 0 (suppression; no electrical brain activity).Signal Quality Index (SQI). The SQI numeric reflects signal quality and provides information about the reliability of the BIS, SEF, TP, SR, and Bursts numerics during the last minute. It ranges from 0 to 100%:SQI < 15%: the numerics cannot be derivedSQI 15% to 50%: the numerics cannot be reliably derivedSQI 50% to 100%: the numerics are reliable.Electromyographic Activity (EMG). The EMG numeric reflects the electrical power of muscle activity and high frequency artifacts.EMG < 55 dB: this is an acceptable EMG EMG ≤ 30 dB: this is an optimal EMG (note that the minimum possible EMG is approximately 25 dB).Suppression Ratio (SR). The SR is the percentage of time over the last 63-second period during which the EEG is considered to be in a suppressed state.Spectral Edge Frequency (SEF). The SEF is the frequency below which 95% of the Total Power is measured.Total Power (TP). The TP numeric indicates the power in the frequency band 0.5 to 30 Hz. The useful range is 30 - 100 dB. Bursts (BISx module used with the Extend sensor only). The Bursts numeric helps you quantify suppression by measuring the number of EEG bursts per minute, where an EEG burst is defined as a period of activity followed and preceded by inactivity (at least 0.5 second).BIS Monitoring SetupThere are two BIS solutions available for use with the M1034A BIS module: using the DSC and BIS engine or using the BISx.

Be aware that a wet sensor or a salt bridge may cause erroneous BIS and impedance values.A variety of sensors are available for use in the OR and ICU environments: see the chapter on accessories for information.CAUTIONEnsure that the BISx does not come into prolonged contact with your patient's skin, as it may generate heat and cause discomfort.The BISx may remain connected to a patient during defibrillation as long as the sensor is not located between the defibrillator pads.3With sensors for single-patient use:a. Attach the patient interface cable (PIC) to the BISx device.b. Connect the BIS sensor to the PIC.With Semi Re-usable Sensors:c. Attach the sensor cable to the BISx device.d. Snap the sensor cable onto the electrodes.As soon as a valid sensor is detected, the impedances of all electrodes are measured automatically and the results are shown in the BIS window. The number of uses remaining for the semi re-usable sensor is shown in the status line when the BIS window is open.Manufacturer's InformationBISx, the Patient Interface Cable and the BIS Sensors are manufactured by Aspect Medical Systems.1BIS Module2Aspect BISx 185-0145-PH3Aspect Patient Interface Cable 186-01314Aspect BIS Sensor
18 Monitoring BIS258BIS Continuous Impedance CheckThis checks:• the combined impedance of the signal electrodes plus the reference electrode.This is done continuously and does not affect the EEG wave. As long as the impedances are within the valid range, there is no notification of this check or its results.• the impedance of the ground electrode.This is done every ten minutes and takes approximately 4 seconds. It causes an artifact in the EEG wave, and the message Ground Check is shown on the monitor screen during the check. If the ground electrode does not pass this check, another check is started. This continues until the ground electrode passes the check.If the Continuous Impedance Check interferes with other measurements, it can be switched off. To do this:1In the Setup BIS menu, select Cont. Imp. Check.2Select On or Off as required.CAUTIONSwitching the continuous impedance check off will disable automatic notification to the user of impedance value changes, which may lead to incorrect BIS values. Therefore, this should only be done if the check interferes with or disturbs other measurements.When a Semi-reusable Sensor is in use the continuous impedance check cannot be switched off. If it is switched off when the sensor is connected, it will automatically be switched on again.BIS Cyclic Impedance CheckThis measures the exact impedance of each individual electrode. It causes a disturbed EEG wave, and the INOP BIS IMPEDANCE CHCK is shown on the monitor screen during the check.Starting a Cyclic Impedance CheckThe Cyclic Impedance Check is automatically started when a sensor is connected. To manually start a Cyclic Impedance Check:•select Cyclic Check in the Setup BIS menu to toggle between On and Off, or•select StartCyclicCheck in the BIS window.Stopping a Cyclic Impedance CheckThe Cyclic Impedance Check stops automatically if the impedances of all electrodes are within the valid range. To manually stop a Cyclic Impedance Check:•select Cyclic Check in the Setup BIS menu to toggle between On and Off, or•select Stop CyclicCheck in the window.If you stop a Cyclic Impedance Check before the ground electrode has passed, a ground electrode impedance check will be started automatically. This cannot be switched off.
18 Monitoring BIS259BIS WindowTo open the BIS window, in the Setup BIS menu, select Show Sensor.The window may look slightly different on your monitor. The graphic in the BIS Window automatically adapts to show the type of sensor you are using, showing three or four electrodes as required. Each symbol in the graphic represents an electrode and illustrates the most recently-measured impedance status of the electrodes. Although BIS may still be measured when the electrode status is red or yellow, for best performance, all electrodes should be green.In addition, if the measured electrode-to skin impedance of any electrode or electrode combination is above the limit, or if disconnected electrodes are detected, an INOP will be issued, either BIS HIGH IMPEDANCE or BIS LEAD OFF.1Reference Electrode2Ground Electrode3Signal Electrode(s)4Time of the most recent cyclic checkBIS Impedance IndicatorsElectrode-to-Skin ImpedanceSymbol Color ActionElectrode has no skin contact red Reconnect electrode, or check the sensor-to-skin contact.

18 Monitoring BIS260In addition to the symbols, the impedance value in kOhm is also displayed. Changing the BIS Smoothing RateThe smoothing rate defines how the monitor averages the BIS value.To change the smoothing rate, in the Setup BIS menu, select Smoothing Rate then choose either:–15 sec: this provides increased responsiveness to changes in the patient's state.–30 sec: this provides a smoother BIS trend with decreased variability and sensitivity to artifacts.Switching BIS and Individual Numerics On and OffTo switch the BIS measurement on or off:•In the Setup BIS menu, select BIS and then On or Off as required.To switch individual numerics provided by the BIS Module on or off:•In the Setup BIS menu, select SQI, TP, SEF, SR, EMG, or Bursts and then On or Off as required. Changing the Scale of the EEG WaveChanging the scale only changes the visual appearance of the wave. It does not affect the signal analyzed by the monitor or printed in reports or recordings.The scale information shown depends on whether gridlines are switched on or off for display. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.1In the Setup BIS menu, select Scale to call up a list of wave scales.2Select the required scale from this list.– When gridlines are switched off, you can choose from the available scale values: 50 mV, 100 mV, 200 mV, and 500 mV. Scaling information is displayed as a vertical bar on the EEG wave together with its height equivalent in mV.– When gridlines are switched on, scales are defined as a range, either ± 25 mV, ± 50 mV, ± 100 mV, or ± 250 mV. Scaling information is shown in the form of gridlines.Switching BIS Filters On or OffThe low and high pass filters screen out undesirable interference from the raw EEG wave display. The notch filter removes line frequency interference. Filter settings affect the EEG wave and the SEF and TP values, but they do not affect the BIS, EMG, SR, and SQI values.The filter settings are set in Configuration Mode. You can switch all the filters on or off together in Monitoring Mode.1In the Setup BIS menu, select Filters.2Select On or Off as required.
18 Monitoring BIS261BIS Safety InformationFor information on the use of BIS in specific monitoring situations and on pharmacological responses to the anesthetic agents Nitrous Oxide (when used as the sole anesthetic agent), Ketamine, and Etomidate, please contact Aspect Medical Systems to request a copy of their publication "A Clinician's Guide to the Bispectral Index®".Considerations for UseDue to limited clinical experience in the following applications, BIS values should be interpreted cautiously in patients with known neurological disorders, those taking psychoactive medications, and in children below the age of 1.WARNINGConductive Parts: The conductive parts of sensors and connectors should not contact other conductive parts, including earth.High-frequency Surgery: To reduce the hazard of burns in the high-frequency surgical neutral electrode connection, the BIS sensor should not be located between the surgical site and the electro-surgical unit return electrode.Defibrillation: The BIS sensor must not be located between defibrillator pads when a defibrillator is used on a patient connected to the patient monitor.Securing Cables: To minimize the risk of patient strangulation, the patient interface cable (PIC) must be carefully placed and secured.CAUTIONRevisions: The system will only function if all component revisions are compatible. Otherwise, an incompatibility INOP is displayed.If the DSC has an older software revision than the BIS Engine, the DSC will automatically be upgraded by the BIS Engine. Do not disconnect the DSC from the BIS Engine, or disconnect the BIS module from the monitor, or switch the monitor power off within the first ten seconds after connection, as this will disrupt a possible software upgrade and cause damage to the DSC.Impedance Checks: Impedance checks may influence data acquisition of other electroencephalographic devices.

1926319Assigning a TelemetryDevice and a Monitor to OnePatientIt is possible to assign a monitor and a telemetry device to the same patient, resulting in the information from both devices being combined in one sector at the Information Center. This is called "pairing" and when a telemetry device and a monitor are paired, the measurement data from the telemetry device will be displayed on the monitor screen.A telemetry device can be:• any Philips telemetry device (only for indirect connections, see below).• a TRx/TRx+ Intellivue Telemetry system transceiver.• an MP5 monitor or X2 Multi measurement module with a telemetry interface, declared as a telemetry device and with a telemetry equipment label.For complete user information, including accessory listings and specifications, for the M4841A/M4851A TRx/TRx+ IntelliVue Telemetry Transceiver, refer to the Instructions for Use provided with the device.How Can You Combine Devices?•With an indirect connection, using standard telemetry transmission - the data are sent to the monitor via the Information Center and arrive with a delay of several seconds at the monitor.•With a direct connection to the monitor– an MP5 or X2 is connected via MSL cable to the monitor, or– a telemetry transceiver with a short range radio adapter is assigned to an MP5 or X2 which is connected (Companion Mode) to a an MX800 host monitorthe data arrive with a minimal delay on the monitor screen.Indirect Connection - Manual PairingThe telemetry device can be paired with the monitor at the Information Center or at the monitor. For detailed information regarding pairing and configuration at the Information Center, see the Information Center Instructions for Use.To pair the monitor with a telemetry device at the monitor:
19 Assigning a Telemetry Device and a Monitor to One Patient2641Select Main Setup then Measurements2Select TelemetryThe Setup Telemetry menu will appear with only one entry Paired Equipment.3Enter here the equipment label of the telemetry device to be paired.Pairing at the monitor is only possible when the monitor already has a connection to the Information Center and the Information Center software version allows pairing at the monitor.Telemetry Data WindowThe measurements from the telemetry device are shown in the telemetry data window on the monitor.1A current alarm generated by the telemetry device.2Delayed - indication that data in the window is delayed3Telemetry data windowWARNINGAll data presented in the telemetry data window are delayed for several seconds.If you need realtime data, for example for defibrillation, always use the monitor ECG instead of telemetry. As long as the ECG is being measured with the telemetry device there will be no ECG signal available at the ECG analog output.Direct Connection - Automatic PairingThe following direct connections are possible:• an MP5 or X2, declared as a telemetry device, and connected with an MSL cable to a monitor.WARNING• When ECG is being measured with a telemetry device directly connected to the monitor, there will be no ECG signal available at the ECG analog output or ECG Sync Pulse output and no synchronization marks on the ECG wave. A No ECG Out message will appear in the ECG wave channel.
19 Assigning a Telemetry Device and a Monitor to One Patient265• When a telemetry device is connected to the monitor, arrhythmia relearning is initiated, and again when the telemetry device is disconnected.• Controls on the Telemetry Device (e.g. nurse call) will be inactive when the device is directly connected to the monitor except in the case when the monitor has no network connection and data are transferred via the telemetry device.Pairing an X2 or MP5 With a Telemetry Interface to a Host MonitorAn X2 Multi-measurement module or an MP5 using an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface will be automatically paired when it is connected to a host monitor and it has been declared as a "telemetry device" at the Information Center.When the X2 or MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor it will remain paired and the measurement data will appear at the host monitor in the Telemetry Data window. After the X2 or MP5 is disconnected from the monitor it may take over 15 seconds until their data is displayed at the Information Center.Pairing of a host monitor and a telemetry device, with all the related functionality, is only possible when the host monitor is using a wired LAN connection or a wireless LAN interface (but not using the IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface).The X2 or MP5 can also be manually paired to a host monitor without a direct connection, as described in “Indirect Connection - Manual Pairing” on page 263.Refer also to “Use Models With Telemetry” on page 268 for further related use modes.Functions Available When the Telemetry Data Window is DisplayedControlling the Telemetry Device from the BedsideYou can change settings for a paired telemetry device at the monitor:1Select the telemetry data screen element2Select the Setup Tele pop-up keyThe Setup Telemetry menu will appear with the settings available for the telemetry device. These will normally include: adjusting heart rate alarms, ECG size control, selecting primary/secondary lead, relearning arrhythmia, and selecting the arrhythmia analysis mode. The Equipment label of the paired device is also shown here.Viewing and Silencing Telemetry Alarms at the BedsideWhen a telemetry device is paired with the monitor, telemetry alarms will also be indicated on the monitor, in addition to the main indication at the Information Center.If configured, a generic * TELE ALARM message will appear in the alarm status area with standard alarm tones. The * TELE ALARM message will have the color and * or ! coding corresponding to the severity of the alarm. The specific alarm message (for example ** HR LOW) will appear in the telemetry data window.
19 Assigning a Telemetry Device and a Monitor to One Patient266If configured, alarms generated from a paired telemetry device can be silenced at the bedside. Either the monitor Silence key is configured to silence both monitor and telemetry alarms (must be configured at the Information Center) or the Silence Bed pop-up key will be available:1Select the telemetry screen element.2Select the Silence Bed pop-up key.Depending on your Information Center configuration, the Silence Bed key may silence both telemetry alarms and bedside alarms.WARNINGEven when the telemetry data is not visible on the screen, you may be silencing telemetry and monitor alarms, if the Information Center and monitor are so configured.Suspending Telemetry AlarmsWhen you select Pause Alarms or Alarms Off at the monitor, the alarms are off or paused for the bedside measurements. When you switch alarms off or pause alarms at the Information Center, both telemetry and monitor alarms are affected.Refer to the Information Center Instructions for Use for more details on the Suspend/Pause alarms behavior of the Information Center and telemetry device.Using StandbyWhen you select Standby mode at the monitor, the bedside goes into Standby mode but the telemetry device will continue monitoring.Refer to the Information Center Instructions for Use for details on the Standby behavior of the Information Center and telemetry device.General Telemetry-related FunctionsThe following functions are valid for directly and indirectly connected telemetry devices.ECG Source Tracking at the Information CenterThe Information Center continuously checks whether a valid ECG signal is coming from the monitor or the telemetry device. If you unplug the ECG patient cable from the monitor and plug it into the telemetry device, the Information Center will automatically switch to monitoring the ECG from the telemetry device. At the monitor, its own ECG measurement will be deactivated - the ECG Setup menu will no longer be accessible.When you unplug the patient cable from the telemetry device and plug it back into the monitor again, the Information Center will switch back to monitoring the ECG from the monitor. The ECG measurement will be activated again at the monitor. Note that in this case, as the screen switches back to the monitor's own measurements, the SpO2T measurement (if present) will no longer be displayed.In the same way the source is tracked when a telemetry device is directly connected to a monitor, then disconnected and vice versa.
19 Assigning a Telemetry Device and a Monitor to One Patient267In case of ambiguity, a yellow INOP message !!CHECK ECG SOURCE indicates that more than one valid ECG source is active.Synchronized SettingsIf ECG is measured at the monitor, and then the patient is connected to a telemetry device for monitoring, the Information Center will use the monitor settings for the telemetry device. In general, the following settings will be synchronized:WARNING• Not all settings are synchronized; after changing the ECG source, always check that the settings are appropriate.• Va and Vb leads are reset to default (V2, V5) if the configured Va or Vb lead for the telemetry device is not one of V1 through V6If later the patient is disconnected from the telemetry device, and reconnected to the monitor again, any changes in the settings made in the meantime will be passed on to the monitor. In this way, settings continuity is preserved when the ECG source changes.Settings synchronization can only take place when there is no patient information mismatch between the monitor and the Information Center. If a Check ECG Settings or !!

19 Assigning a Telemetry Device and a Monitor to One Patient268Use Models With TelemetryThe standard use model combining a monitor and a telemetry device involves pairing the two devices so that the data measured by the telemetry device appears on the monitor screen - and at the Information Center in the same patient sector as the monitor data. The following variations are possible:1The monitor is paired with a telemetry transceiver - indirect connection– telemetry data appear on the monitor2An MP5 or X2 is declared as a telemetry device and paired with an MX800 monitor - direct or indirect connection– MP5/X2 measurement data appear on the monitor it is paired with– a telemetry transceiver cannot be used with the MP5/X23A telemetry transceiver directly connected (SRR or for MP5 cable) to an MP5 or X2, that is connected (Companion Mode) to an MX800 monitor - direct connection.– telemetry data appear on the host monitor– telemetry transceiver is paired with the host monitor but is assigned to the MP5 or X2–the MP5 or X2 must have no equipment labelThe different variations require different configuration settings; refer to the Configuration Guide for details.
2026920TrendsTrends are patient data collected over time and displayed in graphic, tabular or histogram form to give you a picture of how your patient's condition is developing. Trend information is stored in the trends database for continuously-monitored measurements, such as ECG, as well as for aperiodically-measured parameters, such as Cardiac Output.Viewing TrendsTrend information can be viewed embedded as a screen element on specially-designed Screens, or you can open a trend window over the current Screen.• To view trends embedded as a screen element, enter the Change Screen window, then select a Screen designed to show an embedded trend window.• To open the tabular trends window over the current Screen, select Main Setup, Trends, then Vitals Trend, or select the Vitals Trend SmartKey .• To open the graphic trends window over the current Screen, select the Graph Trend SmartKey .• To open the histogram trend window over the current screen, select Main Setup, Trends, then Histogram, or select the Histo- gram SmartKey.The trend windows open displaying the most recent data and are updated as new data is stored. A timescale along the bottom or the top of the screen shows you where you are in the trends database. The preview column on the right-hand side shows the latest available measurement value. The preview column is updated every five minutes or whenever an NBP or other aperiodic measurement is completed.A question mark (?) beside a value means that the data may not be reliable, due perhaps to an INOP condition in the measurement.Your monitor screen may look slightly different to the examples shown in this chapter.
20 Trends270Trends Pop-Up KeysWhen you open the graphic or tabular trends window, a selection of pop-up keys appears to let you navigate through the stored trend data and carry out trends-related tasks.Viewing Graphic TrendsA cursor spanning all measurements in the trend group helps you to navigate through the trends database and shows you your current position in the database. When the cursor is moved across the time line, the values measured at the cursor time are shown in the right hand column.In graphical trends, aperiodic measurement trends are shown as an asterisk, NBP has a special symbol.Pop-Up Keys Selecting this pop-up key lets you....Select Group see a pop-up list of trend groups and select a group for viewing.Select Interval see a pop-up list of available data resolution settings and select the level of detail shown in the trend view.Print/ Record print a tabular trends report or make a tabular trend recording of the data in the current window.

The values can be configured to display in the same colors as the waves and numerics on the realtime display.Any values available for display before the next scheduled update are shown in the right hand column, with a timestamp in brackets.If more than one value is available for an aperiodic trend for a certain trend period, all measured values are stored in the database and the value closest to the timestamp is shown in the Vital Signs display marked with an arrow.To view the Vital Signs trend with one column for each NBP measurement (see “Defining the Column Interval Using the NBP Measurement” on page 275):1With the Vital Signs trend open, select Interval.2Select NBP from the pop-up list.
20 Trends272Viewing Histogram TrendsThe title line of the window shows the label of the trended measurement and the resolution of the data; in the RR histogram above, 1 minute trend samples.The horizontal axis shows the range and unit of the displayed measurement. The vertical axis shows the percentage of time.The columns in the foreground show how much of the time the measured values fell into this range on the scale. For example, in the histogram above, the RR value was between 15 and 20 rpm during 70% of the last four hours. The arrow mark over that column shows that the currently measured value is also in this range. These columns are displayed in the same color as the measurement data.The columns in the background show the cumulative percentage value: each of the foreground columns is added to the sum of those columns to the left of it.A question mark is displayed if less than two-thirds of the data are valid samples.The pop-up keys in the window can be used to change the measurement, the time period and the range. You can also print out a histogram report.The SpO2 histograms can be trend histograms or realtime histograms with 1 second samples. For SpO2 realtime histograms, the range cannot be changed.Setting Up TrendsTrends are set up in Configuration Mode. You can make temporary changes to trends settings such as trend groups, priorities, or scales in Monitoring Mode. The general settings for all Trends are under Main Setup, Trends.Settings for a single segment in graphical trends or for the corresponding trend group can be made more easily in that segment menu.Making Segment SettingsThe Graphical Trends window is divided into measurement segments, each of which has its own settings.To enter the segment menu,• select the left hand column of the segment, where the measurement label is displayed.

20 Trends276Documenting TrendsTo print a Vital Signs or Graphical Trends report,•in the Vital Signs or Graph Trends window, select the pop-up key Print to print a report for the trend group currently on the monitor screen. Reports include the most recent information in the trends database and extend backwards in time according to the selected trend interval and your monitor's configuration. Trends reports can be printed on central or local printers.To make a Vital Signs recording,•in the Vital Signs window, select the Print/ Record pop-up key, then select the Record Vitals pop-up key.Vital Signs recordings print the trend data for the current group and trend period shown in the Vital Signs window.Trends DatabasesDepending on the purchased options and the monitor's configuration, the trends databases store information for up to 32 measurements for up to 72 hours.The values in the trends database are stored as measured by the monitor, they are not averaged values. The trend resolution defines how often a value is stored. In general, if more than one value is available for storage in the trends database, the most recent value is used. Some values in the trends are marked with arrows. This indicates that for this time period, more values were available and the most recent one is shown.Example database configurationIn this example, we see that the monitor stores the most recent data at the highest resolution, older data are stored at a lower resolution."4 hours @ 12 second resolution" means that the monitor stores trend data every 12 seconds, for the most recent four hours.Aperiodic Trends DatabaseAperiodic trends do not count toward the maximum number of trends allowed by the trend configuration. Trend data for aperiodic measurements is stored in a separate database and timestamped with the measurement time.
20 Trends277Trending Multiple-Value MeasurementsSome measurements generate multiple values, for example invasive pressure measurements can provide systolic, diastolic, and mean values. These values are trended as separate measurements.Screen TrendsTrends configured to display permanently on special monitor Screens are called screen trends. The selection and number of measurement waves in the Screen Trend segment depends on your monitor configuration. Screen trends are color-coded to match the measurement wave and numerics, and they can be viewed in graphical, tabular, histogram or horizon format.If you do not see screen trends on the monitor Screen, select a different Screen, one that is configured to show screen trends. Screen trends are only available on specially designed Screens.Screen Trend information is taken from the Trends database. If you do not see a Screen Trend for a particular measurement on the Screen, check the trend priority list to ensure that this measurement is being trended.Setting the Screen Trend TimeTo set the ScreenTrend Time for all graphical, histogram and horizon screen trends ("global" trend time),1Select a screen trend then select Setup Trend, or select Main Setup then select Trends.2Select ScreenTrend Time and select the required time: 30 minutes, one, two, four, eight, or twelve hours.This is now the Global screen trend time and defines the period of trend information shown for all screen trends.To set a different ScreenTrend Time for a screen trend or a group of aligned screen trends,1Select a screen trend.2Select Change TrendTime3Select the required trend time.Selecting Global leaves the trend time set to the global screen trend time.Changing the Selection of Screen Trends Displayed1Select the screen trend.2Select Change Trend and select the required trend from the list of available trends.Select Blank to remove the selected trend from the Screen.If you do not see Change Trend in the screen trend menu, the trend is aligned to display with the measurement wave. Changing the wave automatically changes the trend.To display two or more screen trends overlapping,1Select the screen trend to open the screen trend menu,2Select Change Trend followed by Add Trend and select a screen trend from the pop-up list.Activating the Cursor for Screen TrendsTo activate the cursor for Screen Trends:

The values measured at the cursor time are shown next to the cursor.To de-activate the cursor,•Select Main Screen.Changing the Screen Trend ViewTo switch between tabular, graphic, histogram and horizon views, select the screen trend then select Change View and select the required view.Tabular ViewAperiodic measurements such as NBP, C.O., C.I., and Wedge can be viewed as a screen trend in tabular form. The measured values and their timestamps are shown, with the measurement label.The trend time for tabular screen trends depends on the space available on the Screen. Up to 30 measurements or 12 hours information can be shown.Histogram ViewThe histogram view presents a combination of graphical trend and histogram. The histogram is on the right hand side in a horizontal presentation with vertical gridlines representing 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. Each column shows the percentage of time that the measurement values were in a specific range. This range is represented by the column's position in the graphical trend gridlines. The arrow mark next to a column shows that the currently measured value is in the range covered by that column.If less than two-thirds of the samples are valid, a question mark will be displayed with the histogram, except when the histogram consists of intermittently measured data.Horizon ViewThe horizon view presents trend information superimposed over a defined baseline or base range. This helps you visualize changes in your patient's condition since the baseline was set.The horizon view is made up of:
20 Trends279• a horizon, drawn in white, as a reference point or baseline to help you visualize changes in your patient's condition. The horizon can be set to represent your patient's current condition, or a target condition and can be a single value or a range.• a graphical trend, displaying patient data for the set TrendTime (1).• a trend indicator arrow, indicating how the patient trend has developed in the set time period (10minutes, 5minutes or 2minutes) (2).• a deviation bar, showing how the currently measured value deviates from the set horizon (3). The height of the deviation bar is an indication of the extent of the change in your patient's condition relative to the (horizon) baseline.Your monitor may not be configured to show all elements of the screen trend horizon view.Setting the HorizonThe horizon is the reference value to which deviations in the measurements are compared.1To set the horizon, select the horizon trend.2Select–Set High Horizon to select the upper horizon value. If the high and low horizon values are the same, the horizon is a baseline - if the values are different the horizon is a range.–Set Low Horizon to select the lower horizon value.–Auto Horizon to set the horizon for the selected horizon trend to the currently-measured value.–Auto All to reset the horizon for all horizon screen trends to the currently-measured values.–Set Horizon to set the horizon to a specific value from a pop-up list.Setting the Horizon Trend ScaleThe horizon trend scale is defined with respect to the horizon.

Select Enter to confirm each entered value. Manually-entered values are marked with an asterisk (*).Entering Values for CalculationsThe monitor automatically enters any available values for calculations. For aperiodically-measured values such as C.O., the monitor will re-use the most recent value in the calculation database until a new value becomes available. If the calculation time is the last C.O. time, values will be used from up to and including 30 minutes before the C.O. time, except for height and weight where the last available value will be used.• To enter calculations values manually or edit automatically-entered values, select the value field to open the on-screen keyboard and use this to enter the correct value. Values edited manually are marked with an asterisk (*).If you enter a value that has more decimal places than allowed for a particular input, the value you enter will be rounded off after you select Enter. If you enter a value which cannot be stored, the message Value out of range will appear. Enter a new value.In hemodynamic calculations, if the systolic and diastolic pressures are manually entered, the mean pressure is calculated and marked with an asterisk (*). The formula used to estimate the mean pressure is [systolic + (diastolic x 2)] / 3.Automatic Value SubstitutionIf the monitor cannot find a value required for calculation, it automatically tries to find an equivalent source for this value. For example, if C.O. is required but unavailable, the monitor automatically looks for CCO as a alternative source of C.O. values, or an alternative Pressure label may be used instead of ABP. The label of the value in the Calculations window does not change. Substituted values are marked with an asterisk (*).Automatic Unit ConversionThe monitor needs consistent units for performing calculations. It automatically converts units where necessary before it performs the calculation, for example, pressures sourced in kPa, cmH2O, or mbar are automatically converted to mmHg, or to cmH2O for ventilation calculations.Manual Unit ConversionIf you need to convert units for other purposes you can use the Unit Conversion window:1Select Main Setup then select Calculations.2Select Unit Conversion.3Select the field under the unit you know and use the on-screen keypad to enter the known value. The converted value automatically appears in the adjacent field.BSA FormulaYour monitor provides both the Boyd and Dubois formulas for the calculation of body surface area (BSA). For calculations, the monitor uses the setting defined in the Patient Demographics menu. All calculation results that use BSA are indexed to the selected formula.
21 Calculations285• To check the current setting, select the patient name to enter the Patient Demographics menu. BSA(B) indicates that the Boyd formula is used; BSA(D) indicates that the Dubois formula is used.Comparing Dynamic Compliance ValuesIf you compare the dynamic compliance value (COMP) from the ventilation calculations with the value from the Spirometry measurement you may see a difference. This comes from the different sampling methods:• The algorithm in the ventilation calculations takes into account only two sets of paired AWP/AWV data: those from complete expiration and complete inspiration, when AWF is zero.• The algorithm in the Spirometry application takes into account all sets of paired AWP/AWV data (125Hz sampling rate), over one complete breath cycle, and calculates an "averaged" compliance using a least square method.Documenting CalculationsTo send a Calculations recording to a connected recorder, in the Calculations window, select the Print/ Record pop-up key, then select the Record Calc pop-up key.Calculations recordings print the patient demographic information and the content of the current Calculations window on the recorder strip.To print a report for the calculation group currently on the monitor screen, select the pop-up key Print Calc. To print the review window, select the pop-up key Print in the review window.

2228722High Resolution Trend WavesHigh resolution (hi-res) trend waves provide information for fast-changing parameters at a glance. They can help you to recognize trend patterns and to find interrelationships between measurements, by comparing changes in your patient's condition across different hi-res trend waves.This can aid in the early detection of cardiorespiratory and hemodynamic problems.The amount of data you can show on a screen depends on the display size and resolution: for example, on an eight inch (20 cm) wave trace on your monitor screen, you can view approximately six minutes of hi-res trend wave trace. The hi-res waves are drawn at a speed of 3 cm/minute.The availability of hi-res trend waves depends on your monitor configuration and on the options purchased for your monitor.Changing the Hi-Res Trend Waves DisplayedTo change the selection of hi-res trend waves on the Screen:1Select a displayed hi-res trend wave.2Select the required hi-res trend wave from the pop-up list.If there are no hi-res trend waves on the Screen, you must change to a Screen with hi-res trend waves.Hi-Res Trend Wave ScalesHi-res trend waves are either compressed realtime waves or fast numeric trends.• Hi-res trend waves from compressed realtime waves include: Resp, CO2, A BP, PAP, CV P, ICP, AWP, anesthetic agents.• Hi-res trend waves from fast numeric trends include: btbHR, SpO2, tcpO2, tcpCO2, Pulse, Perf, CPP, BIS, CCO, inO2, Delta SpO2.Hi-res trend waves from realtime waves use the wave scale as their display scale. Changing the wave scale changes the hi-res trend wave scale.Hi-res trend waves from numerics use a pre-defined display scale dependent on the patient category.Hi-Res Trend Waves and OxyCRGOxyCRG is a combination of three hi-res trend waves, btbHR, SpO2, and Resp, mainly used in neonatal monitoring.

See the section on Recordings for more information.To start a hi-res trend waves recording,1select the Recor- dings SmartKey, if configured, or select Main Setup then select Recordings.2select the HiRes Recordng pop-up key.
2328923Event SurveillanceEvents are electronic records of episodes in your patient's condition. You can trigger them manually, or set them to trigger automatically during pre-defined clinical situations.Depending on the level of event surveillance available on your monitor, the information stored for each event episode can include:• waveforms for up to four measurements of your choice (depending on episode type, see “Events Pop-Up Keys” on page 292 for more details)• numeric vital signs for all the measurements monitored• any alarm conditions active when the event episode was triggered• any annotations connected with the event.You can navigate through the event database to view events retrospectively, and you can document events on a recording or report marked with the patient name, bed label, and the data and time.When an MP5 is connected to a host monitor, event surveillance will be disabled. No new events will be detected and no existing events will be deleted. There is no data exchange between the host monitor and the MP5 for event surveillance. When the MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor event surveillance will resume and new events will be detected.Levels of Event SurveillanceThe appearance of the Events windows and menus and the settings you can select for events depends on the event surveillance option purchased for your monitor: basic event surveillance, advanced event surveillance, or neonatal event review (NER). This table lists the differences between the options.To determine which level of event surveillance your monitor has, select Main Setup then Event Surveill. followed by Setup Events and select the trigger group to see the available event groups.• if the only event group listed is NER, your monitor has the Neonatal Event Review option• if there is one event group and it is not NER, your monitor has the Basic Event Surveillance option• if you see six event groups, your monitor has the Advanced Event Surveillance option.
23 Event Surveillance290Event GroupsThe event group• monitors the patient's signals to detect event triggers• defines which waveforms are recorded in the event data.In basic event surveillance only one event group can be active at a time, with Advanced Event Surveillance all six groups can be active simultaneously. Active event groups monitor for event triggers.Event groups are defined in Configuration Mode. In monitoring mode the groups can be adapted to current conditions, for example episode types and threshold levels can be changed.Event FunctionalityBasic Event Surveillance Option C06Advanced Event SurveillanceOption C07Neonatal Event Review (NER)Option C04Event groups 1 6 (one group can be configured to NER)NERMeasurements per group 3 4 3 (plus 1 for episode recording)Triggers per measurement 12 1Trigger types Simple ("at least one") Combined ("at least two") Simple ("at least one")Annotation no yes yesTypes of event episodeAverage trendSnapshot eventsAverage trendHigh resolution trendSnapshot eventsHigh Resolution TrendEvent viewsGraphic Event Review window, Graphic Event Episode windowSummary view, graphic and tabular Event Review window, graphic and tabular Event Episode windowGraphic and tabular Event Review window, graphic and tabular Event Episode windowDatabase capability25 events for 24 hours 25 events for 24 hours25 events for 8 hours50 events for 8 hours 50 events for 24 hours25 events for 24 hours25 events for 8 hours50 events for 8 hours 50 events for 24 hoursEvent Notification no yes no
23 Event Surveillance291Event EpisodesWhen an event occurs, information for a predefined duration is stored. This is the event episode. It includes information from a defined period before the trigger, called the event pre-time. The episode time after the event is called the event post-time. If a further event occurs during the event post-time it changes a single event to a combined event (combi-event).Manually-triggered event episodes document patient information from the time leading up to the event trigger; they do not have a post-time.The episode type defines the level of detail captured in an event episode. The higher the data resolution, the shorter the period that the monitor can store in its memory. High-resolution data is suited for neonatal applications, where the clinical situation may change very quickly. In adult monitoring, where the patient's status typically changes more gradually, a longer trend may be more informative.Event Episode Types Pre-time Post-timeAverage trend20 minutes, five samples per minute2 minutes 18 minutes4 minutes 16 minutes6 minutes 14 minutes8 minutes 12 minutes10 minutes 10 minutes12 minutes 8 minutes14 minutes 6 minutes16 minutes 4 minutes18 minutes 2 minutesHiResTrendFour minutes, four samples per second.Neonatal Event Review (NER) is a type of HiResTrend1 minute 3 minutes2 minutes 2 minutes3 minutes 1 minuteRealtime Wave Snapshot15 seconds5 seconds 10 seconds10 seconds 5 seconds

23 Event Surveillance293If more than one trigger is available for the measurements in the active event group, the trigger condition may be At Least One Param., At Least Two Param., At Least Three Par., or All Four Parameter. If the trigger is At Least One Param. (this is short for 'at least one measurement parameter'), the monitor starts an event capture if a trigger occurs in any of this event group's measurements. If the trigger is At Least Three Par., the monitor captures events when three or more trigger thresholds from this event group's measurements are violated. With Enhanced Condition you can not only select a minimum number of triggers to trigger an event but define which specific measurement triggers these must be. For example, At Least Two Param. will cause an event to be captured if a trigger occurs in any two of this event group's measurements - with Enhanced Condition you can select that only when triggers are in HR and SpO2 an event will be captured.The trigger condition for event groups is set in the monitor's Configuration Mode.If You Use Alarm Limits As Event TriggersThe event capture is triggered automatically when your patient's values violate set alarm limits, or when a specified alarm condition, such as apnea, occurs. No events of this kind are triggered if alarms are switched off. Changing alarm limits changes the event trigger definitions.The asterisk symbols beside the trigger tell you about the alarm triggers:*** indicates a high priority (red) alarm** indicates a lower priority (yellow) alarm. This category includes short yellow arrhythmia alarms, which may be configured to be shown as one star alarms (*) on your monitor.Triggers without asterisk symbols are user-defined triggers.If You Set User-defined Threshold TriggersYou can define event triggers that are independent of alarm limits. You must set a threshold value and a threshold time for the trigger. If you set the trigger threshold time to 12 seconds, the monitor triggers an event if the threshold is violated for more than 12 seconds.If You Set "On Measurement" TriggersYou can set aperiodic measurements (such as NBP) or procedures (such as Cardiac Output) to trigger an event whenever they start.
23 Event Surveillance294If You Set Use-defined Deviation TriggersYou can define event triggers that are independent of specific limits and based instead on deviations from the current values. You must set a deviation and a period of time in which the deviation occurs. There are three types of deviation available: ANY Deviation, UP Deviation where only changes in a positive direction are detected and DOWN Deviation where only changes in a negative direction are detected. The deviation can be defined either in relative terms as a percentage, for example 10%, or as an absolute value, such as 10 bpm.Event RetriggeringIf a condition that triggered an event persists and the values remain beyond the trigger threshold, a new event will not be triggered.For a new event to be triggered by the same condition, the measured values for at least one of the triggers must cross back into the normal range and then recross the trigger threshold.Event Notification(Advanced Event Surveillance Only). You can be notified when an event is detected. For each event group you can define a type of notification depending on the severity of the event conditions. The notification can be a status message with a prompt tone or a standard *, **, or *** alarm notification. These event alarms are handled exactly like measurement alarms; they can be silenced and are also suspended when all alarms are suspended. You should only use alarm notification for events which are comparable in severity to standard measurement alarms to avoid potential confusion due to too many alarms. Notification in the form of an alarm is not available when the trigger condition is At Least One Param.. Selecting None switches event notification off.Setting the type of notification, or switching notification off, is done in Configuration Mode.Setting Triggers for NER and Basic Event Surveillance1Group Name2Episode Type3Measurements used as event triggers1Select Main Setup then Event Surveill. followed by Setup Events to enter the Event Setup window.2Select the name of the current episode type to set the episode pre/post time.

23 Event Surveillance296Running a Car Seat Assessment RecordIn the NER group you can run a Car Seat Assessment Record (CAR). This is a special period of event surveillance using the current setup of the NER group.To start a CAR period:1Select the Start CAR pop-up key or SmartKey.2Select the required time period for the assessment.3Select Confirm to start the CAR.If the NER group was not active it will be activated automatically.During the CAR period an SpO2 histogram is also generated with 1 second samples. For general information about the presentation of data in a histogram, see “Viewing Histogram Trends” on page 272. The CAR SpO2 histogram is unique: it can only be accessed from the events function. It is generated from the beginning of the CAR period (contrary to the non-SpO2 histograms which are generated from trended data retrospectively at the end of a time period). Settings are fixed for this histogram and cannot be changed when viewing it.The Events DatabaseThe maximum number of events that can be stored in the event database depends on the database configuration and the level of event surveillance used. The event database is set up in the monitor's Configuration Mode. Events are stored in the monitor's event database for the configured lifetime, either 8 hours or 24 hours. Deleted events cannot be retrieved. Events are automatically deleted when:• their configured lifetime is over• the storage capacity of the database is exceeded (storing a further event deletes the oldest event in the memory)• a patient is discharged.As the event database is cleared when you discharge a patient, you should ensure that you have documented any events you require for the patient records before you confirm the discharge.Viewing Events• To see a summary of all the events in every group in the event database, use the Event Summary window.• To review all the events in a particular event group, use the Event Review window.• To review individual event episodes in detail, use the Event Episode window.To start viewing events, either:•in the Main Setup menu, select Event Surveill. and then select the event view you require from the list, or• select the Event Surveill SmartKeyand then select the event view you require from the list.
23 Event Surveillance297Event Summary and Event CounterVertical bars mark events in the Event Summary window. The timeline shows the position of the stored events in the event database. Selecting this view activates a cursor that lets you navigate across the timeline. Use the Show Episode pop-up key to select individual events for review in the Event Episode window. It also calls up the events pop-up keys.The event counter counts the total number of events in the database. If more than one event group was set to trigger events within the event history, the event counter also counts the event group totals.Counting Combi-EventsIf one or more events occur during the same Episode Time, the monitor combines them and displays them as distinct events in one event episode, called a combi-event. The first event is the trigger event, and the others are follow-up events. For example, if an apnea event is followed 40 seconds later by a brady event, the brady event is not counted as a single event but as part of the apnea event.Counting Neonatal Event Review (NER) EventsFor neonatal events (NER, formerly "OxyCRG"), apnea events (A), bradycardia events (B), and combinations of these events are counted and classified by the event counter in the Event Summary. If they are associated with a Desaturation (D), this is also marked. Manual events (M) are counted separately. For example, A(D):2(1) indicates that two apnea events occurred and one of them was associated with a desaturation.Event Summary Window(Advanced Event Surveillance only). The Event Summary window shows the number of stored events in each event group and the total number of events in the database. Vertical bars mark events on a timeline showing the position of the stored events in the event database. The symbol next to the group name indicates the activation and notification status:symbol meaninggroup activated, notification set to ***alarmgroup activated, notification set to **alarm
23 Event Surveillance298Selecting the Event Summary window calls up the events pop-up keys.Parts of the Event Summary window can also be embedded in Screens so that they are always visible, for example the Total row showing the total number of events with the bars on the timeline or the column showing all the groups with the activation and notification status.Event Review WindowTo enter the Event Review window, select the graphic event summary, if available, or select the events pop-up key Show Review.When you open the Event Review window, it automatically shows the event group with the most recent event.• To view other event groups, select the pop-up key Review Group and select the group from the list.Event Episode WindowTo enter the Event Episode window, select the pop-up key Show Episode.group activated, notification set to *alarmgroup activated, notification set to screen promptgroup is activated, notification is switched offno symbol group not activatedsymbol meaning
23 Event Surveillance299Depending on the event group settings, the Event Episode window shows either 20 minutes of average trend event information, four minutes of high-resolution event information, or 15 seconds of realtime wave information.The event values to the left of the measurement channels show the trigger threshold set and the maximum amount by which this limit was exceeded. In this example, Desat 71<85 tells you that 76 was the lowest SpO2 value measured during the event time and that the Desat trigger threshold was set to 85 when the event was triggered. If the event was manually triggered, the event value boxes display "manual".Annotating Events1To annotate an event, in the Event Episode window, select the pop-up key Select Annotatn.2Select the required annotation from the pop-up list of available annotations for the currently active event group.Up to 20 annotations can be configured to let you add commonly-used clinical notes to event episodes for documentation purposes.

2430724ProtocolWatchProtocolWatch (PW) is a clinical decision support tool. It allows you to run a clinical protocol which can monitor developments in the patient's condition, taking into account:• measured values from the monitor• values manually entered by you (for example manual temperature measurements, lab values)• your assessment of patient statusProtocolWatch notifies you when certain conditions or combinations of conditions occur and it documents developments in a log which can be printed.SSC Sepsis ProtocolThe SSC (Surviving Sepsis Campaign) Sepsis Protocol is a protocol implemented for the ProtocolWatch application. The SSC Sepsis Protocol is for use in screening for severe sepsis and monitoring of its treatment. It is a computerized implementation of the January 2008 Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock. Philips does not make any claims about their effectiveness to reduce the morbidity or mortality associated with severe sepsis.The SSC Sepsis Protocol assists you in recognizing the early signs and symptoms of sepsis by comparing the state of your patient to the defined criteria and then guides you through the recommended treatment protocol. Use of the SSC Sepsis Protocol requires thorough knowledge of the complete SSC Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock. Due to space limitations on the screen, the recommendations cannot always be reproduced in the full detail available in the printed and on-line guidelines. The SSC Sepsis Protocol is not a diagnostic or therapeutic tool and is not intended to replace the competent judgment of a clinician.The SSC Sepsis Protocol consists of three separate consecutive phases:Severe Sepsis Screening - measurement values and patient status are compared to the Severe Sepsis Screening criteria. When these criteria have been met, the clinician confirms the presence of infection and sepsis-related organ dysfunction and can authorize entering the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle.Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle - the recommendations for sepsis resuscitation are listed and can be checked off as they are implemented. After achievement of all the sepsis resuscitation goals, or at the latest after 6 hours, the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle is completed and the Sepsis Management Bundle begins.Sepsis Management Bundle - the recommendations to maintain patient status are listed and can be checked off as they are implemented. The Sepsis Management Bundle ends when 24 hours have passed since the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle began.
24 ProtocolWatch308Depending on the option your monitor has, it may be that only the Severe Sepsis Screening phase is implemented. If, at the end of this phase sepsis has been confirmed, and the patient is transferred for treatment in the resuscitation and management phases, you can transfer the current state, the settings and the log from the SSC Sepsis Protocol in the MMS to another monitor with the full version of the SSC Sepsis Protocol. The transfer of data and settings must be enabled in Configuration mode.WARNINGAlways consider the specific clinical context for your patient, before following SSC Sepsis Protocol treatment recommendations.The SSC Sepsis Protocol and this description are based on the SSC Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock from January 2008 and the SSC Bundle definitions from January 2005. To check the version of the Guidelines and Bundle definitions on the monitor,•Select Main Setup then Revision then ProtocolWatch followed by SSC SepsisOrientation On The ScreenAt the top of each window there is an orientation line showing the phases available on your monitor, with the currently active phase highlighted.You can also place the ProtocolWatch symbol, together with the currently active phase, on the main screen, in one of the numeric positions. This allows you to see at a glance which phase is currently active, even when no SSC Sepsis Protocol window is currently displayed.If you need to enter data or perform an action in an SSC Sepsis Protocol window, the symbol will turn into a SmartKey.Transferring Patients And Moving Manually Between PhasesIf a patient has already been diagnosed as having severe sepsis before connecting them to the monitor, you can select Main Setup then ProtocolWatch followed by Manual Transition to go directly to the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle to monitor treatment. Direct entry to the Sepsis Management Bundle is also possible using the Manual Transition function and the time into the selected bundle can be set.If a patient has been screened on arrival, for example in the emergency department, then transferred to Intensive Care when Sepsis is confirmed, the current state, the settings and the log from the SSC Sepsis Protocol will be transferred with the MMS to the new monitor. Should it be necessary, you can select the phase at the new monitor manually with Main Setup then ProtocolWatch followed by Manual Transition. The transfer of data and settings must be enabled in Configuration mode.
24 ProtocolWatch309CAUTIONIt is not possible to transfer SSC Sepsis Protocol data from a monitor with release F.0 software to another monitor with release G.0 software or above, and vice versa.Suspending the Protocol for 24 HoursTo suspend the protocol for 24 hours:1Select Main Setup then ProtocolWatch followed by Suspend for 24 hours.2Select Confirm.The protocol will resume activity after 24 hours with Severe Sepsis Screening.Severe Sepsis ScreeningAs soon as an adult patient is connected to the monitor, and heart rate or pulse is being measured, the protocol begins to observe heart rate, temperature and respiration rate values in the background. If temperature or respiration rate is not being measured continuously, a pop-up window appears at 4-hour intervals to ask for manually measured values. These values are all compared to the screening criteria: HR above 90, Temp above 38.3°C (100.9°F) or below 36.0°C (96.8°F), RR above 20.If any one of the values fulfills the screening criteria, the first Severe Sepsis Screening window appears:The measured value which has fulfilled the criteria is shown highlighted (in the example shown above it is respiration). There is a check box for the infection signs and symptoms listed,• if the monitor has measured values which meet the screening criteria, and• for all signs and symptoms which cannot be measured by the monitor.Check the box if you can confirm that this sign or symptom is present and new. If the patient is mechanically ventilated, the Mechanically ventilated box must be checked. If you have manually measured temperature or respiration rate, you can enter the values using the Enter RR and Enter Temp keys.
24 ProtocolWatch310Select Confirm when the check boxes reflect the current patient status.Select Remind 15 min if you want to delay filling out this screen. (When you enter the screen manually this key will be a Cancel key, as no action is required in this case.)Changing ConditionsThe window reappears if:• a previously fulfilled criteria is again fulfilled• a new HR or RR criteria is fulfilled,• the HR or RR value which previously fulfilled the criteria now triggers a ** RR HIGH, ** HR HIGH alarm or a ***TACHY xxx > yy alarm,• after 8 hours (configurable to 12 hours) if at least one infection sign is still present.Two Or More Infection Signs Or Symptoms ConfirmedIf you have confirmed two or more infection signs in the first Severe Sepsis Screening window, a new pop-up window appears asking Is the patient history suggestive of a new infection?.If you select Yes, the next screen appears requesting a lactate measurement.If you select No, the screening phase continues and the first Severe Sepsis Screening window reappears in the situations described in Changing Conditions above.Lactate MeasurementTo enter the Lactate value, select the Enter Lact key. If the value entered is > 4 mmol/l the check box is automatically checked.Select Confirm when a value has been entered. What follows depends on the Lactate value:•If Lactate is > 4 mmol/l: the value meets the criteria for severe sepsis and a window appears recommending authorized clinician review before entering the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle.•If Lactate is ≤ 4 mmol/l: a further window appears requiring your input to determine on the basis of blood pressure values whether the patient meets the criteria for severe sepsis.Hypotension EvaluationIf the Lactate value was not above 4 mmol/l, the next window asks whether the patient has persistent hypotension.The protocol defines Hypotension as:• SBP < 90mmHg (12.0kPa), or• MAP < 65mmHg (9.0kPa), or• SBP decrease > 40mmHg (5.0kPa) below baseline.You can see this definition in the window by selecting Show Details.If the patient has persistent hypotension as defined, select Yes. This acknowledges that the patient meets the criteria for severe sepsis and a final window appears recommending authorized clinician review before entering the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle.If the patient does not have persistent hypotension, select No. After an hour a screen appears asking Is the previously acknowledged infection still present?.
24 ProtocolWatch311If you select Yes, the window for the Lactate measurement will reappear. If you select No, screening continues - comparing heart rate, temperature and respiration rate values against the screening criteria.Authorized Clinician ReviewTo review the protocol, select Protocol Log. You can also print out the log to document the screening phase.Select Confirm to complete the screening phase and, if you have the appropriate monitor option, continue to the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle phase.Sepsis Resuscitation BundleThe treatment recommendations from the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle are presented and the implementation of the recommendations is monitored.When the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle phase begins, the ProtocolWatch Screen automatically appears on the monitor (if configured and available on the monitor).The lower area of the screen contains:• a reminder list of the treatment recommendations - recommendations which have been fulfilled are shown in gray, overdue recommendations are shown in orange• a timer showing the time already passed in this phase• three horizon trends for MAP, CVP and ScvO2 or SvO2, if these measured values are available• a list of the latest manually entered values - if you select this list you will open the Manual Entry Log window where the last 24 manually entered values are shown for referenceIf ScvO2 or SvO2 and CVP are not being continuously measured, a pop-up window appears at hourly intervals to ask for a manually measured value.Monitoring the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle RecommendationsWhen you select the lower area of the ProtocolWatch Screen, the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle window appears. If you do not have the ProtocolWatch Screen displayed, the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle window appears automatically once an hour.
24 ProtocolWatch312Select the Enter Lact key to enter a lactate value. When you have entered a value, or if a lactate value had previously been entered, the box is checked.Check the Take Blood Cultures box when you have taken blood cultures.Check the Administer Intravenous Antibiotics box when you have started broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy.The remaining three recommendations are automatically compared to the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle criteria, if the measurements are available on the monitor. A box is checked when the corresponding recommendation has been fulfilled.Depending on your configuration, continuously measured CVP values may be disregarded if they exceed a set limit. Whether this is so, and which limit is applied, is set in the monitor's Configuration mode.If you have manually measured ScvO2 or CVP, you can enter the values using the Enter ScvO2 and Enter CVP keys. The box is checked automatically if the value fulfils the recommendation.The boxes for MAP, ScvO2/SvO2 and CVP can also be checked manually (for cases where the monitor does not measure them) but only when the timer has reached 4 hours to ensure that these values are achieved and maintained mid-term. Check these boxes if the recommendation has been fulfilled.To see more details about the recommendations, select the Show Details key.Select Confirm when the check boxes reflect the current treatment status.Checking The Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle WindowDuring the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle you can open the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle window at any time to check the status or to make entries. The recommendations are shown as follows:• Recommendations which are not yet fulfilled are shown in black. They also appear in the list on the lower area of the ProtocolWatch Screen.• Recommendations which are overdue are shown in orange.• Recommendations which have been fulfilled and confirmed are shown in gray. They no longer appear in the list on the lower area of the ProtocolWatch Screen.Previewing the Sepsis Management BundleAt any time during the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle you can preview the Management Bundle in order to see which recommendations will follow there.• Select the Preview Managmnt key.Ending The Sepsis Resuscitation BundleWhen all recommendations have been fulfilled and confirmed, or when 6 hours have passed since the bundle started, the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle is ended.You are asked to confirm with the Yes key that the Sepsis Management Bundle should now be started. If you select No, the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle is extended for 1 hour.Sepsis Management BundleThe stabilization recommendations from the Sepsis Management Bundle are presented and the implementation of the recommendations is monitored.
24 ProtocolWatch313When the Sepsis Management Bundle phase begins, the ProtocolWatch Screen is automatically updated (if configured and available on the monitor). In the lower area of the Screen, the list of recommendations for the Sepsis Management Bundle replaces the list for the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle. The timer shows the combined time for both phases.Monitoring the Sepsis Management Bundle RecommendationsWhen you select the lower area of the ProtocolWatch Screen, the Sepsis Management Bundle window appears. If you do not have the ProtocolWatch Screen displayed, the Sepsis Management Bundle window appears automatically once every six hours.The Low Dose Steroids for septic shock per policy recommendation and/or the Drotrecogin Alfa per policy recommendation may not appear if they have been configured not to do so for your hospital.Check the Low Dose Steroids administered box when you have started steroid therapy or the Low Dose Steroids contra-indicated box if this treatment is contra-indicated for your patient.Check the Drotrecogin Alfa administered box when you have started recombinant human activated protein C therapy or the Drotrecogin Alfa contra-indicated box if this treatment is contra-indicated for your patient.The boxes for Maintain Glucose <8.3mmol/l (150 mg/dl) and Maintain Insp. Plateau Pressure <30cmH₂O can only be checked when the timer has reached 20 hours to ensure that the stabilization of these values is achieved long-term. Check these boxes if the recommendation has been fulfilled.Recommendations which have been fulfilled are shown in gray with the time fulfillment was entered.To see more details about the recommendations, select the Show Details key.Select Confirm when the check boxes reflect the current treatment status.Ending The Sepsis Management BundleThe Sepsis Management Bundle normally ends 24 hours after the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle started, as documented by the bundle timer on the ProtocolWatch screen. You are asked to confirm with the Yes key that routine monitoring should now resume. By selecting No you can extend the Sepsis Management Bundle phase by an additional 6 hours.
24 ProtocolWatch314After completion of the Sepsis Management Bundle a sepsis standby phase begins which allows time for further patient stabilization and recovery. During this phase Severe Sepsis Screening is suspended. The standby phase is by default 7 days but the length can be adjusted in Configuration Mode.Viewing And Printing The Protocol LogThe Protocol Log stores all user interactions, alarms and phase transitions while the SSC Sepsis Protocol is running.To view the Log select Main Setup then ProtocolWatch followed by Protocol LogYou can choose between three different views of the Protocol Log:•Summary View - a short form which does not include when the windows were triggered•Full View - a complete log of all user interactions, alarms and phase transitions•Phase View - you can view log entries for one phase by selecting that phase on the orientation lineWhen the Log consists of several pages, you can move through the pages with the Previous Page and Next Page keys.To start a Protocol Log printout, select Print.The log is cleared whenever a patient is discharged.Always Discharge PatientsIt is essential that patients are discharged when monitoring ends. As a reminder, the monitor can be configured to display a pop-up window when the monitor has been switched off, in Standby mode, or not monitoring basic vitals for a certain time. The window asks whether a new patient is being monitored and offers a pop-up key to discharge the previous patient if this is the case. The window must be configured in Configuration Mode.When the previous patient is discharged, this clears the protocol log, resets the timers and deletes manually entered measurement values.

25 Recording318All ECG Waves RecordingsAn All ECG Waves recording shows a 4 second recording of each lead with a calibration bar preceding each ECG lead. All available leads are recorded sequentially in the standardized lead order. The recording is realtime, that is, the information recorded is not simultaneous.Creating and Changing Recordings TemplatesTo save you defining recording settings each time you start a recording, you can create templates for commonly-used types of recordings in the Setup Recording menu. You can create templates for one delayed recording, one alarm recording, three realtime recordings (two for MP20/30), and one high resolution recording. All ECG Waves recordings do not need to be configured, they always use the same format.Changing recordings templates changes the settings that will be used each time a recording of this name is triggered.1Select the Main Setup permanent key to call up the Main Setup menu.2Select Recordings to enter the Setup Recording menu.3Select the name of the template you want to create or change. Each recording name is linked to a recording type, delayed, alarm, realtime, and hi-res trends. Recording names can be changed in the monitor's Configuration Mode.4Design the template by selecting each menu item and entering the information for the template.•Recorder: choose which recorder the recording will print to (Local, Central 2-Ch, or Central 4-Ch recorder, or Printer (for realtime reports in alarm recording only)).•Channel 1, Channel 2, etc.: choose which waveform to record in each channel. If the wave assigned to a recording channel in a particular template is not available when a recording is triggered, the channel is left blank on the recording strip. The pop-up list of available (currently monitored) waves differs according to the recording type:– Realtime, delayed and alarm recordings: the list shows all the currently available waves.– High-resolution recordings: the list shows all the available high-resolution waves.In addition to the currently available waves, you can choose from several other settings which make an automatic allocation when the recording starts:–Alarm Par will always record the measurement in alarm in the chosen recorder channel–Primary Lead will always record the current primary lead in the chosen recorder channel–SecondryLead will always record the current secondary lead in the chosen recorder channel–Any Agent will always record the currently selected anesthetic agent.For high-resolution recordings only the Any Agent setting is available.•Overlap: define whether the recorded waveforms will be printed overlapping or beside each other.•Speed: choose the recording print speed.•Delay Time: Delayed recordings start documenting on the recorder strip from a pre-set time before the recording is started. This interval is called the "Delay Time" and can be set as specified in “Overview of Recording Types” on page 317. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.•Run Time: see how long this type of recording is configured to run. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. Continuous recordings run indefinitely.
25 Recording319Central Config: if available in the General menu, select this setting to use the recording settings made for the centrally-connected recorder.Changing ECG Wave GainThe ECG Gain setting in the General Recording Setup window defines how every recorded ECG wave, irrespective of template or recording type, will appear on the recorder strip. This does not affect the displayed ECG wave, or printed ECG reports. To change the ECG gain setting for recordings,1In the Setup Recording menu select General.2Select ECG Gain.3Select the required setting:–Auto: the wave recording will use the same scale as the ECG wave on the monitor screen–5 mm/mV, 10 mm/mV, 20 mm/mV: the wave recording will use a scale of 5, 10, or 20 millimeters per millivolt.Recording PrioritiesManually-started recordings have priority over automatically-started recordings. If an automatically-triggered alarm recording is running, and a realtime or delayed recording is manually started, the alarm recording is stopped and the manually-requested recording is started.More recent manually-started recordings have priority over older manually-started recordings. If a manually-started recording is running, and another manually-started recording is triggered, then the older recording is stopped and the more recent manually-started recording is started.Alarm recordings are prioritized according to alarm priority. If an alarm recording triggered by a yellow alarm is running and a new alarm recording is triggered by a red alarm, the yellow alarm recording is stopped and the red alarm recording is started.Recording StripThe information printed on the recording strip includes the patient name and MRN, bed number, date and time of recording, recording speed, and recording code. Active alarm and INOP messages as well as numerics for all currently monitored measurements are also printed.Recording strip annotations are printed at the beginning of the recording strip and updated at regular intervals, every 15 minutes for recordings made at speeds lower than 6.25 mm/s, and every 60 seconds for recordings made at speeds greater or equal to 6.25 mm/s.Recording Strip CodeThe recording strip code printed in the first line of the initial annotation has up to seven characters, specifying recording type, operating mode, application area, patient category, and delay time, if applicable.
25 Recording320Recorded WaveformsA selection of up to three waveforms is recorded, marked with wave labels and wave scale information. Wave scale information can be in the form of a calibration bar, like the 1 mV calibration bar for ECG, or calibration steps before the waveform starts.Maintaining Recording StripsRecording ink sometimes fades when covered with transparent tape.

Report names are shown only for reports that have been correctly set up.Data from the time of the print request is printed, even if the print job is delayed in the printer queue.Your monitor can also be set up to automatically print all reports when a matching printer is available. To set this up1Select Main Setup then select Reports2Select Auto Print Dbs.–Always will print all reports when a matching printer is available.–Host Only will print the reports stored on the host monitor when a matching printer is available. Reports stored in the companion database (shown in gray on the Reports Job List) must be manually sent to the printer. See “Checking Report Status and Printing Manually” on page 329.–Never will print no reports automatically; all reports stored in the host or companion database must be manually sent to the printer. See “Checking Report Status and Printing Manually” on page 329.Printout LocationDepending on availability, reports can be printed on locally connected printers, printers connected to the Information Center or the Application server, an external PC-based print server with Philips server software or into the print database. Print jobs stored in the database are automatically printed when a print device with a matching paper size becomes available.Print jobs in the print database are not deleted after a patient discharge. A new patient can be admitted and their reports are saved in addition to the previous reports. Always admit your patient so that reports can be clearly assigned to a patient.When an X2 or MP5 is connected to a host monitor, reports requested or stored on the X2 or MP5 can be printed via the host monitor. Reports requested on the X2 or MP5 when connected to a host monitor will not show any patient alarms or INOPs. In order to see alarms, reports should be requested on the host monitor.

26 Printing Patient Reports326Setting Up Auto ReportsAuto Reports print automatically when a specified trigger occurs. There are two types of Auto Reports: Scheduled Reports, which print at predefined intervals, and End Case Reports, which print when a patient is discharged using the End Case function. An Auto Report can be both a Scheduled Report and an End Case report.To set up Auto Reports,1Select Main Setup, Reports, then Auto Reports and select the Auto Report you want to set up (A, B, C, or D).2Select Report and assign a report type to the Auto Report.3Select End Case Report and switch to On if you want the selected report to print automatically when you select End Case to discharge a patient.Switch End Case Report to Off if the report is a Scheduled Report only.4Select Scheduled Rep. and toggle to On if you want the selected report to print at predefined intervals, starting at a predefined time of day. The start time you set applies for every following day. For example, if you set a start time of 07:00 and a repeat time of six hours, the first report will print at 07:00 every day, the next at 13:00 and so on.– To set the time of day at which you want the report to print every day: select Start Hour and Start Minute and select the required time from the pop-up list– To set the time interval in minutes between two scheduled reports: select Rep. Freq. (hrs) and Rep. Freq. (min) and select the time interval from the pop-up list.If you are setting up an end case report, these settings will be inactive ("grayed-out").Switch Scheduled Rep. to Off if the report is an End Case Report only.5Repeat the procedure for all Auto Reports you want to set up.All Auto Reports or Scheduled Reports set to On print automatically at the predefined trigger.Be aware that the monitor's memory for reports is limited. If the memory is full, Auto Reports cannot be printed and the information may be lost.Setting Up Individual Print JobsTo adjust the appearance of individual print jobs, in the Reports menu,Select Main Setup, Reports, then Setup Reports to enter the Setup Reports menu.1Select Report and then select the report you want to set up.
26 Printing Patient Reports3272Select Report Type and then select the reports template you want the report selected in Step 2 to use. The selection of templates listed depends on the report type selected.Each template includes patient demographic data, and each Realtime Report also includes alarm and INOP information. In addition, the templates include:VisibleWaves: all waves currently visible, in the order they appear on the screen.All Waves: all measured waves.RT Waves: all currently measured realtime waves, according to the monitor's priority list.HiRes Waves: all measured HiRes waves.OxyCRG Waves: the OxyCRG/Neonatal Event Review waves.Vital Signs: trend information in tabular form.Graph Trend: trend information in graphic form.ECG reports: ECG3X4, ECG6X2, ECG12X1, ECG4X2, ECG8X1,ECG12X1 (2P)EEG reports: EEG Report.Episode: a single patient event episode.Review: an overview of patient eventsAlarm Limits: a list of all currently set alarm limits.3Select Report Size to set the paper size to be used for the report: Unspecified to use the default size for the template chosen, Universal, A4, Letter, LrgUniversal, A3, or Ledger. The list of available sizes depends on the report type selected.4Select Orientation to set the orientation of the report printout: Unspecified to use the default size for the template chosen, Landscape or Portrait.5Select Target Device and choose which printer the print job will be sent to: Unspecified to use the default printer, or choose from the list of printer names defined at the Information Center or in the monitor's Configuration Mode (for example, Remote 1 or Database).Some settings may be inactive ("grayed-out") in this menu for reports that can only be started in a special window.Checking Printer SettingsThe printer settings for your monitor are defined in Configuration Mode. The printer settings Paper Size, Resolution, Color Support, and Duplex Option for the active printer are visible but inactive ("grayed-out") in the Setup Printers menu. When Print Database is selected as active printer only the Paper Size setting will be shown.To enter the Setup Printers menu, in the Reports menu, select Setup Printers.Printer names for locally-connected printers can be defined in Configuration Mode. You can see whether a specified printer is centrally or locally connected in the Setup Printers menu under Port. If "Local" is included in the port name, e.g. Local 2, that indicates locally-connected printers, and "Remote", e.g.Remote 1, indicates centrally-connected printers.Printing a Test ReportA test report can be printed in Configuration mode, refer to the Service Guide for details.
26 Printing Patient Reports328Switching Printers On Or Off for ReportsYou can enable or disable printer status to switch individual printers on or off for report printouts.1In the Setup Printers menu, select Printer and then select the name of the device you want to switch on or off for Reports printing from the pop-up list.2Select Printer Status to toggle between the settings Enabled and Disabled. If you set this to Disabled, no reports will be printed to the named printer.If the monitor detects that no printer of a particular type is available, the Printer Status setting will automatically be set to Disabled and "grayed out".Dashed Lines on ReportsIf a section of a wave on a report is drawn with dashed lines, this tells you that a setting that affects the appearance of the wave on the screen was changed while the report was printing.For example, if you change the wave scale while a report is printing, the wave scale and wave size are changed immediately on the monitor screen and on the report. To indicate that the scale information printed at the beginning of the report no longer matches the currently used scale, the wave will be printed using dashed lines, starting from the moment the change took place.Some examples of settings that cause dashed lines in reports if changed during printing are: Filter mode, ECG lead placement, wave scale, measurement unit, paced/non-paced setting, and measurement mode. Note that as ECG waves are drawn with a fixed gain on reports (either 10 mm/mV or 20 mm/mV), changing the ECG wave scale will not cause dashed-line reports.To avoid dashed lines on reports, wait 15 seconds after changing a setting before you trigger a report.Unavailable Printer: Re-routing ReportsIf you send a report to be printed on a printer that is not available, for example, because it has run out of paper, this print job is suspended and stored in the monitor's memory.If the target device of this print job was set to Unspecified, the monitor will periodically try to resend the print job to the first printer listed in the Setup Printers menu under Printer that is set to Enabled and that has paper of the correct size.To allow the report to print, you must either solve the problem with the target printer, or re-route the print job to another printer with paper of the correct size. To re-route a print job,• Enable the new target printer by selecting it in the Setup Printers menu and toggling to Enabled. As the monitor tries to send the report to the printers in the order they are listed, you must make sure that all the printers above the new target printer are disabled.If the target device of the print job was set to a specific printer, re-routing is not possible.
26 Printing Patient Reports329Checking Report Status and Printing ManuallyA list of all print requests which are waiting, printing or stored can be viewed in the Reports Job List.

2733727Using the Drug CalculatorDrug mixtures for intravenous (IV) drug infusions combine information on drug dose, rate, amount, volume, concentration, and standardized rate. The Drug Calculator helps you to manage infusions by calculating one of these values at a time.*Be aware that your hospital may use either 'µg' or 'mcg' as an abbreviation for microgram. These abbreviations are equivalent.WARNINGBefore you administer any drug, always check that the correct calculation units and patient category are selected. Consult your pharmacy if you have questions.Decisions on the choice and dosage of drugs administered to patients must always be made by the physician in charge. The Drug Calculator performs calculations based on the values input during use, it does not check the plausibility of the calculations performed.Ter m Definition UnitsDose total quantity of drug to be delivered to the patient over timeamount units per time or per kg/time, if the drug is weight-dependentRate volume of the mixture to be delivered to the patient over timeml/hourAmount amount of drug to be added to diluent to make up a mixtureng, mcg*, mg, g, mUnit, Unit, where g stands for gramVolume quantity of mixture of diluent and drug mlConcentration ratio of the amount of drug to the solution volumeamount units per mlStandardized Rate 1ml volume of the mixture to be delivered to the patient per hourml/hr
27 Using the Drug Calculator338Accessing the Drug CalculatorTo access the Drug Calculator, select Main Setup then Calculations followed by Drug Calculator, or select the Drug Calc SmartKey, if configured.Performing Drug CalculationsUsing the service Support Tool, a list of drugs can be configured for the monitor containing pre-defined dosage recommendations and unit settings. Selecting the arrow beside the drug name in the Drug Calculator window opens a list of configured drugs. Contact your pharmacist if you have any questions about the drugs in the list.If ANY DRUG is the only entry in the list of drugs, no drugs have been pre-configured for your monitor. Drug calculations can be performed for non-specific drugs.You must have a Support Tool to add additional drugs to the Drug Calculator.About the Rule of SixIf the Rule of Six has been enabled for use with individual drugs in your Drug Calculator, you can use the formula in crisis situations to quickly calculate the amount of a drug needed to yield a target dose for continuous infusion for neonatal or pediatric patients (the drug amount is given in "mg", the patient weight in "kg"). The Rule of Six can only be used with the dose unit mcg/kg/min.CAUTIONJCAHO recommends disabling the Rule of Six. The configuration is not JCAHO-compliant if Rule of Six is enabled.The Drug Calculator uses the following formula for Rule of Six calculations, based on the patient's weight:• For a target dose of 0.1 mcg/kg/min, the Drug Calculator multiplies 0.6 x patient weight to calculate the amount you need to add to the IV solution to equal a total of 100 ml.• For a target dose of 1.0 mcg/kg/min, the Drug Calculator multiplies 6.0 x patient weight to calculate the amount you need to add to the IV solution to equal a total of 100 ml.
27 Using the Drug Calculator339Performing Calculations for a Non-Specific DrugIf a list of drugs has not been configured for your monitor, you can use the Drug Calculator to calculate drug doses for a single, generic drug called ANY DRUG.

36 Specifications427Safety and Performance TestsYou must observe any national regulations on the qualification of the testing personnel and suitable measuring and testing facilities. See the maintenance section for a list of required tests. Safety and performance tests, and what to do if the instrument does not meet these specifications, are described in the Service Guide.Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) SpecificationsTake special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) when using medical electrical equipment. You must operate your monitoring equipment according to the EMC information provided in this book. Portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment.Accessories Compliant with EMC StandardsAll accessories listed in the accessories section comply, in combination with the patient monitor, with the requirements of IEC 60601-1-2:2001 + A1:2004.WARNINGUsing accessories other than those specified may result in increased electromagnetic emission or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the monitoring equipment.Electromagnetic EmissionsThe monitor is suitable for use in the electromagnetic environment specified in the table below.

36 Specifications428WARNINGThe monitor should not be used next to or stacked with other equipment. If you must stack the monitor, you must check that normal operation is possible in the necessary configuration before you start monitoring patients.Avoiding Electromagnetic Interference (Resp and BIS)The respiration (Resp) and BIS measurements are very sensitive measurements that measure very small signals. Technological limitations do not allow higher immunity levels than 1 V/m for radiated RF electromagnetic fields and 1 Vrms for conducted disturbances induced by RF fields. Electromagnetic fields with field strengths above 1 V/m and conducted disturbances above 1 Vrms may cause erroneous measurements. Therefore Philips recommends that you avoid using electrically radiating equipment in the close proximity of these measurements. Electromagnetic ImmunityThe monitor is suitable for use in the specified electromagnetic environment. The user must ensure that it is used in the appropriate environment as described below.Emissions test Compliance Avoiding Electromagnetic InterferenceRadio Frequency (RF) emissions Group 1 The monitor uses RF energy only for its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipmentRF emissions CISPR 11 Class A The monitor is suitable for use in all establishments other than domestic and those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposesHarmonic emissions IEC 61000-3-2 n/aVoltage fluctuations IEC 61000-3-3 n/aImmunity test IEC 60601-1-2 test level Compliance level Electromagnetic environment guidanceElectrostatic discharge (ESD) IEC 61000-4-2±6 kV contact±8 kV air±6 kV contact±8 kV airFloors should be wood, concrete, or ceramic tile.

36 Specifications429In this table, UT is the a.c. mains voltage prior to application of the test level.Recommended Separation DistanceWARNINGThe monitor, equipped with a wireless network interface, intentionally receives RF electromagnetic energy for the purpose of its operation. Therefore, other equipment may cause interference, even if that other equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements.In the following table, 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). The values given in brackets are for respiration and BIS.Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the monitor, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation appropriate for the frequency of the transmitter.Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range.Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with this symbol:Voltage dips, short interruptions and voltage variations on power supply input linesIEC 61000-4-11<5% UT (>95% dip in UT) for 0.5 cycles<5% UT (>95% dip in UT) for 0.5 cyclesMains power quality should be that of a typical commercial and/or hospital environment. If the user of the monitor requires continued operation during power mains interruptions, it is recommended that the monitor is equipped with an internal battery or is powered from an uninterruptible power supply.40% UT (60% dip in UT) for 5 cycles40% UT (60% dip in UT) for 5 cycles70% UT (30% dip in UT) for 25 cycles70% UT (30% dip in UT) for 25 cycles<5% UT (>95% dip in UT) for 5 sec<5% UT (>95% dip in UT) for 5 secPower frequency (50/60 Hz) magnetic fieldIEC 61000-4-83 A/m 3 A/m Power frequency magnetic fields should be a t levels characteristic of a typical location in a typical commercial and/or hospital environmentImmunity test IEC 60601-1-2 test level Compliance level Electromagnetic environment guidance
36 Specifications430Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular, cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the monitor is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the monitor should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the monitor.These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.Recommended separation distances from portable and mobile RF communication equipmentThe monitor is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or user of the monitor can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the monitor as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.In the following table, 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).
