Leakage Current
The monitor complies with leakage current limits required by medical
safety standards for patient-connected devices. The Veris monitor
conforms to EN 60601-1 standards. A hazard caused by the
summation of leakage currents is possible, when several pieces of
equipment are interconnected.
Voltage Fluctuations
When operated in the line voltage range specified in this manual any
minor fluctuations will have a negligible effect. Very low line voltage
will cause the monitor to revert to battery power. Very high line
voltage may cause damage to the charger circuits. The monitor is
designed with circuitry that will turn the unit off before spurious
readings can be caused by a low battery condition.
Equipotential Ground
Health care providers and patients are subject to dangerous,
uncontrollable compensating currents for electrical equipment.
These currents are due to the potential differences between
connected equipment and touchable conducting parts as found in
medical rooms.
The safety solution to the problem is accomplished with consistent
equipotential bonding. Medical equipment is fitted with connecting
leads made up with angled sockets to the equipotential bonding
network in medical rooms.

Introduction
Description
The VerisTM 8600 patient monitor is designed for use in the MRI
environment. It interprets and displays physiologic data as waveforms
and numeric information which, depending on the configuration of the
system, may include ECG, NIBP, SpO2, CO2, respiration,
temperature, O2, anesthetic gases, and IBP. User defined alarm limits
and alerts may be set for each parameter. Monitored parameter data
is stored as tabular trend information and may be printed or
downloaded.
Intended Use
The system is intended to monitor physiological parameters of
patients within any health care environment, specifically in the MR
environment. The user, responsible to interpret the monitored data
made available, will be a professional health care provider.
Physiological data, gas monitoring, system alarms, and patient
analysis will be available to the care provider from the monitor.
The monitor shall be MR compatible based on the FDA guidelines for
equipment to be used in MR.
There are two distinct needs for patient monitors in MR:
• Vital signs monitoring, to monitor medically unstable patients or
patients under conscious sedation, as required by the JCAHO.
• And, provide image gating, to gate image acquisition to a
physiological parameter, such as the cardiac cycle.
There is the additional requirement for the accurate function of the
equipment in the MR environment. The monitor used in the scan
room shall not be affected by the radio frequency pulse or gradient
fields and shall not produce any RF interference on the image.
The monitor (including accessories) shall be capable of monitoring a
full range of patients from neonate to adult.

2 — Monitor Setup
This section provides an overview of the setup procedures for the
Veris 8600 monitor. Also see the appropriate chapters on patient
parameter monitoring for parameter setup information.
The monitor should be set up by the health care provider before using
it on patients:
• Load paper (if remote display is present). See paper loading
instructions in “Changing Printer Paper” on page 12-7.
• Charge all batteries (ECG module battery, main monitor
batteries.)
Preparations such as charging the batteries should be performed if
the monitor is new.
Battery Power
Charging the Battery
The monitor base contains two lead-acid gel batteries that when fully
charged provide a minimum of ten hours of operational use.
The Veris monitor is battery powered. The monitor internally
recharges the battery when it is connected to the power supply. The
monitor can operate in continuous use for a minimum of 10 hours on
a fully charged battery. Charge the battery from the power supply
over night for approximately 12 hours.
WARNING !
• If the electrical integrity of the earth ground is in doubt, the
power cord should be disconnected and the machine should be
operated from its internal electrical power source.
• Explosion hazard. Keep lighted cigarettes, sparks, and flames
away from the battery.
• Avoid contact with battery acid! The batteries contains sulfuric
acid electrolyte which can cause severe burns and eye damage,
as well as illness from sulfur oxide fumes. Use necessary
precautions when servicing batteries.
• Do not short circuit the battery terminals. The resulting highcurrent discharge can cause burns.
• Do not operate the monitor with discharged or defective
batteries. Monitor failure could occur during AC power loss
which can compromise patient safety.
• Do not use the monitor if the batteries are missing.
2 —1
MEDRAD Veris 8600
The Veris monitor can function on AC or battery power. MEDRAD
recommends that batteries be fully charged at all times. If the
batteries are insufficiently charged, battery life is degraded and
shortened. If defective batteries are suspected, contact MEDRAD
Service or your local representative.
Battery Indicators
The battery icons are located on the lower portion of the main screen
as described in “Screen Display and Interface” on page 2-5. The
battery icons change color to indicate the status of the batteries and
appear when using DC (battery) or AC (Mains) power.
When AC is connected to the monitor (green light above ON/OFF key
is lit), the battery icon colors are:
Amber:
Battery is charging.
Green:
Battery is fully charged.
When AC is not connected to the monitor (green light above ON/OFF
key is not lit), the battery icon colors are:
Green:
Battery life is greater than 1 hour.
Yellow:
Battery is weak. (less than 1 hour and more than 15
minutes of charge remains). A LOW BAT message
also appears.
Black:
Battery is nearly drained. (less than 15 minutes of
charge remain). The LOW BAT message remains.
While using battery power there is a short delay between a change in
battery status and the updated display of the battery icons.
If the monitor is currently operating under AC power, the monitor may
take up to two minutes to display a change in battery status.
The monitor also displays the battery status for the ECG module in
the heart rate (HR) parameter box. The battery icon colors are:
Green:
Battery life is greater than seven (7) hours.
Yellow:
Battery life is less than seven (7) hours. Charge the
module battery soon
Black:
This can indicate the ECG module is not connected
to the monitor. Verify the module is connected to the
monitor.
If the module is connected to the monitor, the battery
is drained. ECG module will not operate. Charge the
module battery immediately.

The monitor is comprised of a number of modules which measure
physiologic parameters. Some modules such as the oximeter are
ready for use within seconds of power up. Others such as the gas
bench take a few minutes to equilibrate.
Sensor and Probe Messages
Depending on the accessories attached to the monitor upon start up,
various messages concerning detached sensors and probes appear.
These are only visual alarms until valid measurements are taken by
the accessories, after which a low level alarm sounds when the
sensors and probes are disconnected.
NOTE: LEADS OFF messages can be set by the user to be Low,
Medium, or High level alarms.
If sensor and probe messages from unused modules become a
distraction, these messages may be eliminated by turning the
respective module off. The OFF settings are located in the PARAMS
windows described in “PARAMS Softkey (Physiological Parameters)”
on page 2-21.
Units with invasive blood pressure capability indicate that either there
is no transducer attached (NO XDUCER) or that the transducer has
not been calibrated by the user (NOT ZEROED). In either case it is
not necessary to attach or zero the transducers in order to use the
other features of the monitor.
Gas Calibration
The agent gas detector may require a short warm up period and autocalibration sequence similar to an internal capnometer. The message
AGT:WARMING appears in the information message area. The
informational message AGT:MANUAL or AGT:AUTOMATIC also
appears indicating that the monitor is in either manual or automatic
primary agent identification mode. AGT: AUTO CAL indicates that the
agent calibration is in progress.
Respiration waveforms, capnogram, and numerical breath rate are
available in one minute from applying power to the monitor. The
monitor reaches full accuracy for agent concentrations in less than 20
minutes.
If the Veris system fails to auto-calibrate upon power up, the message
AGT:BAD CAL appears. If the system continues to fail autocalibration, contact MEDRAD Service or your local representative.
The oxygen monitoring module also requires auto-calibration, which
is performed at the same time as the agent bench calibration. If the
O2 module fails to calibrate, the message O2:SENSOR appears.
Upon successfully completing auto-calibration the monitor displays
values for monitored gases.

edge of the screen. Amplitude bar and range are shown at the
beginning of the slot if applicable to that type of waveform. The color
of each waveform may be selected by the user. The waveform slots
can be combined to form double high waveforms and waveforms can
be cascaded to fill multiple slots. See “Double Height Slots” on
page 2-28 and “Cascaded Slots” on page 2-29 for details.
NOTE: The SpO2 waveform display is not necessarily directly
proportional to pulse volume. The SpO2 waveform display is not
automatically gain adjusted.

VISUAL ALARMS WITH WAVEFORMS
The waveform slots are also used to display physiological alarms that
will appear at the top center of each slot. For a high priority alarm the
color of the message is red. For a medium priority alarm, the color of
the message is yellow.
The bottom five slots may be covered by menus and messages.
Since the top waveform slot is dedicated to ECG, the ECG waveform
and the ECG high and medium priority messages are always visible if
ECG is currently being monitored and the top slot is active.
See “Visible Alarms” on page 3-2 for a complete description of visual
alarms.
SILENCE ALERT STATUS
The silence alert visual icon appears in the upper right area of the top
waveform.
• The silence icon shows a bell with an "X" and an infinity symbol
when the SILENCE hard key has been pressed and held for
more than two seconds.
• The Alarm Suspend icon shows a bell with an “X” and the words
2 Min when the SILENCE hard key has been momentarily
pressed.
ALARM INHIBIT
The alarm inhibit icon appears in the parameter boxes when one or
more of an individual parameter’s alarms are turned OFF.
ECG WAVEFORM
The lead number and scale setting are displayed in the top left corner
of each slot set for ECG waveforms. The amplitude bar, shown in
white, indicates the scale in millivolts (mV).
SPO2 WAVEFORM
The waveform is auto ranging where the monitor attempts to keep the
waveform centered in the slot at all times. No amplitude bar is shown.
CO2 WAVEFORM
The CO2 waveform, capnogram, is always displayed in percent
regardless of the units selected for displaying the numerical data. The
maximum range of the capnometer waveform is 12.5%.
BREATH BY BREATH BAR GRAPH (B×B)
The breath by breath bar graph is a method of representing the
concentration of CO2 at the end of each breath. The data is always
displayed in percent with a maximum range of 12.5%.
O2 WAVEFORM
The maximum range of the oxygen waveform is 100%. The units are
always in percent.

MEDRAD Veris 8600
PRIMARY AGENT WAVEFORM
The primary agent waveform is displayed in percentage only as is the
display for primary agent numerical data. The waveform is autoranging within the slot. Secondary agents are not displayed as
waveforms.
NITROUS OXIDE (N2O)
The N2O waveform is derived from the agent detector of the Veris
monitor.
IBP WAVEFORMS
The labels identifying the source of the IBP waveforms appear
between the upper and lower range values at the beginning of the
waveform.
The waveform has both manual and auto-ranging features. The
selected range appears at the left side of the waveform. The scaling
for IBP slots are locked at x1 and cannot be changed. Use the range
settings to adjust the appearance of the waveform on the screen. See
“Alarms and Messages” in Section 3 for details.

There are two IBP channels. The color of each channel can be
selected independently.
If the amplitude of the waveform exceeds the selected range the
waveform is clipped. An informational level alarm OFF SCALE
appears in the Info Messages Box of the main screen display.

Numerical Parameter Boxes
The numerical parameter box area is directly to the right of the
waveform area. The area is broken into seven numerical boxes.
There are three additional numerical boxes below the waveforms.
The numerical parameter boxes display the measured value of the
vital sign being monitored, the unit of measure, and parameterdependent information (such as the source for the heart rate or
inspired/expired values for gases).
If a module is turned off in the PARAMS menu, the numerical
parameters are replaced by the word OFF in each location. Smart
parameters such as heart rate switch to another available module if
possible. An alarm inhibit icon appears in the upper right corner or
right center of a parameter box if an alarm limit is set to OFF. The
alarm inhibit icon is red with a white “X” indicating that an alarm is
turned OFF.

SpO2, or NIBP) is shown in the lower left corner of this box. The color
of the numeric display for heart rate matches the color of the
waveform source data.
The right half of the ECG parameter box displays the gating output,
the ECG module battery status, and an icon indicating that the
monitor and remote display are communicating. The color of the
gating icon matches the color of the waveform and numerical data of
the source (i.e., ECG gating reflects the color of the ECG waveform

The alarm volume can be set from 1 to 10. If the volume is set to 1 it
returns as 2 if the monitor is power cycled. To turn off the alarms use
the SILENCE key. See “Alarms and Messages” in Section 3 for more
information about alarms.
ECG LEAD FAIL
This is an adjustable alarm level setting for a condition where the
monitor cannot detect connected ECG leads. Set this according to
the protocols of the facility or to the specific patient need.
ALARMS SETTINGS BY PATIENT SIZE
The monitor retains separate alarm settings for three different patient
sizes. When the patient size mode is changed to Adult, Pediatric, or
Neonate, the monitor recalls alarm limit settings specific to each
patient size.
The extended alarm limit windows for the optional features also have
size specific versions. As in the main screen, the pediatric alarm
settings are the same as adult in the Factory Default profile.
To set all the alarm limits, adjust the settings as necessary including
the extended windows that appear under Other Alarm Setups. Then
change to the next patient size and adjust the settings again including
the extended windows. Repeat setting changes as necessary for
each patient size.
ALARM LIMITS
Alarms activate when a high alarm limit is exceeded or the measured
value drops below a low alarm limit. High and Low limit values can be
set to the same values. In such a case the monitor alarms when any
value but the selected value is measured.
CAUTION !
• Turning an alarm limit off disables both the audible and visual
portion of the alarm.
• Some alarms automatically reset when the monitor is power
cycled. See “Alarms at Start Up” on page 3-3 for details.
The low limit alarm can never be set higher than the high limit alarm.
The high limit adjustment is similarly restricted. When adjusting limit
values some of the range may not be available because the monitor
does not display ranges beyond the point that the other limit is set.
Alarm limits cannot be changed for monitoring modules that are
turned off. If an alarm limit cannot be selected, check the PARAMS
menu to confirm the module is turned on.

SMART HEART RATE
When Smart is selected for HR Source, the monitor generates a
numerical heart rate value from the remaining operating modules if a
higher lever module is turned off or lost. If the ECG signal is lost or
turned off, the monitor automatically switches to another available
source. The order is:
• ECG
• IBP
• SpO2
• NIBP
The monitor generates a heart rate from the ECG module, the IBP
module, the SpO2 module, or from the NIBP (in that order of
preference). The NIBP heart rate is updated with each NIBP
measurement rather than being continuously updated with the ECG,
IBP, or SpO2 waveform data. When the heart rate is based on NIBP
data the numerical heart rate value is removed 2 minutes after the
last NIBP measurement was completed.
If a specific parameter is selected for HR Source, and that parameter
is lost, the monitor does not switch to another parameter for the heart
rate.
GATING
The gating function can be set to OFF, ECG Wave, SpO2 Wave, ECG
Pulse, or SpO2 Pulse.
ECG CABLE
The monitor can be set to 3 lead or 5 lead ECG.
NOTE: Base and BasePlus models only have 3 lead capabilities.
ECG FILTER
The ECG is set to Monitor mode for optimal filtering and cannot be

The IBP channels can be zeroed using the setting from the PARAMS
window or from the main menu softkey, whichever is more
convenient.
IBP AUTO-RANGING
The monitor provides auto-ranging for each IBP channel individually.
When auto-ranging is selected for a channel in the PARAMS window,
the monitor determines the best display range based on previous
extremes of the waveform.
The scale changes to exceed the waveform maximums by at least 5
mmHg. The auto-ranging occurs when the PARAMS window is
exited. If the past extremes of the waveforms are exceeded, clipping
occurs. The new range remains until auto ranging is selected again or
specific range values are set in the PARAMS window.
NIBP SETTINGS
The NIBP can be set to generate a tone upon completion of each
measurement.
NOTE: Press the NIBP CYCLE/STAT key to access the cycle
settings.
HEART RATE TONE VOLUME
This feature can be set at the bottom of the first PARAMS window.
The tone can be set to volumes 1 through 10 or OFF. This setting only
controls the tone volume associated with the heart rate rhythm. It is
not affected by adjustments to Alarm Volume or the SILENCE feature.

CAUTION !
• Interface cables and adapters can introduce extra impedance as
well as inaccuracy due to poor connections. Consult with your
transducer manufacturer, before using additional accessories
with the Veris monitor.
Transducer Cables
Invasive blood pressure transducers are available with a variety of
cable and connection styles. Consult with your transducer provider for
specific transducers for use with MEDRAD, Inc., products.
Transducers that are specifically cable terminated for the Veris
monitor can be purchased through Fogg System Company, Inc. of
Denver, Colorado, www.foggsystem.com.
Compliance
As for all accessories, cables and transducers should comply with UL
and IEC standards for medical equipment.
Defibrillation Protection
The MEDRAD-IBP module and port connection is defibrillation proof.
Consult your transducer supplier for information about defibrillation
protection of specific transducers and IBP fluid systems.

MEDRAD Veris 8600
High Frequency Interference
The Veris monitor does not employ any external, protective isolating
devices that are required to be used in conjunction with invasive
blood pressure monitoring accessories during high frequency
electrosurgery/electrocautery procedures. Use of invasive blood
pressure transducers with internal isolation between the electronic
bridge and the wetted parts is recommended for all IBP applications.

Appendix G: Wireless
Communication
Wireless Network
Communication Interface
The Veris 8600 telemetry technology allows for RF communication up
to 10 meters in the Faraday cage utilizing 2.4 gigahertz RF
communication. The main monitor and remote display support a
wireless network communication interface according to the 802.11b
standard.
Operation
WARNING !
• Do not take the remote display into the MR Scanner room. The
remote display contains ferromagnetic material and can be
strongly attracted to the magnet causing a safety hazard.
The remote display is an option to the Veris Cardiac and Anesthesia
configurations.The remote display is standard on the Veris BasePlus
configuration. The remote display looks similar to the main monitor
that is in the MR room. The remote display must be in the control
room and communicate to the main monitor via a wireless or hardwire
serial connection. The remote display offers a way to control the Veris
main monitor from the control room without going into the MR room.
The remote display and main monitor are sychronized; what displays
on the main monitor displays on the remote display at the same time.
For example, if the user changes an alarm setting, both units display
the ALARMS menu and the change as it takes place.
When the remote display is turned on, it displays the message Please
Wait Until Synchronization until it synchronizes with the main monitor.
The main monitor sends its configuration, trend, and current screen
configuration data to the remote display. This causes the main
monitor and the remote display to be in the same state with the same
data.
NOTE: The remote display and main monitor cannot synchronize if
they are at different software revisions. If the main monitor and the
remote display cannot syncronize because the software revision is
different, then the remote display displays the message Remote and
Main have incompatible Software.
After the main monitor and the remote display synchronize, the
remote display mirrors what the main monitor is doing. The main
monitor is the master. An icon displays in the heart rate (HR)
parameter box, on both the remote display and the main monitor, to
show that the main monitor and the remote display are
communicating. (For more information on the heart rate parameter
box, go to “ECG BOX” on page 2-9.)
G-1
MEDRAD Veris 8600
If communications are lost, the remote display displays the message
Please Wait Until Synchronization and the units cycle through the
synchronization process again after communications are restored.
The communication icon on the main monitor (in the heart rate
parameter box) does not display until communication is restored.
The remote display contains the internal printer. For more information
on printing, see “Printing and Data Ports” in Section 12.
