Graphical Trend Report
The Graphical Trend Report is a multi-parameter report containing up to 15 trended
parameters from bedside or telemetry patients. The report can be configured to print 2,
4, 8, 12, or 24 hours of Full or Event Disclosure data. The cursor time represents the
report ‘stop time’; the report ‘start time’ equals ‘stop time’ minus the report length.
You can customize the trend selection per patient (page 14-24) or at system setup
(page 4-4). The trend scale can be a fixed scale or have autoscale values. When you
select Enable Autoscale (page 14-24) in the Trend Order Setup screen, the low and
high scale values are determined by an autoscale factor to the highest and lowest
parameter value over the currently selected trend time. To request a Graphical Trend
Report, see page 14-22.
Selected Strip Report
The Selected Strip Report allows the user to select a waveform of interest within
Full Disclosure and define beginning and ending cursor times (not to exceed one
hour). The report can contain 8 seconds to 1 hour of information (8 second default)
with 8 seconds of waveform data per row. To request this report, see page 14-23.
Selected Events Report
The Selected Events Report may consist of up to six pages (4 event strips per page).
You can select and print up to 24 events. Each waveform contains 10 seconds of data,
and is annotated with Lead Printed, Lead Processed, Event Cause, 12 of the most
recent parameter values, Event End Time, and Event Date. If the lead processed is
stored in the Infinity CentralStation database, it will be printed on the report. If not,
the top lead of the displayed Full Disclosure data will appear.To request this report,
see page 14-23.

Ventilator Report
With the VentCentral option you can request a ventilator report for a bedside patient
who is connected to a ventilator.
A ventilator report is divided into two sections:
zParameters And Settings
zWaveforms and Loops
To request a ventilator report, see page 14-22.
Parameters and settings
This portion contains the parameter values, units of measure, the settings, and the time
the settings were last changed. The order of the parameters is fixed. Depending on the
number of available parameters originating from the bedside monitor, this portion of
the report may consist of several pages.
Waveforms and loops
The waveforms and loops page contains the ventilator waveforms and loops displayed
in the VentCentral Review screen and may contain up to three waveforms and up to
two loops.
Each waveform consists of 7 seconds of data and begins at the time the report is
generated. Each loop represents the first detected breath within the 7 seconds of data.
All waveforms are printed at 25mm/sec.
The labels and the scale of the printed waveforms and loops are identical to the
displayed waveforms and loops in the VentCentral Review screen.
NOTE: Certain parameters, identified as measured values, are derived from other
values provided by the ventilator and may not reflect the true measured values. See the
operating instructions for your specific monitor for detailed information on derived
measurements.

trended, the row lists the parameter label but values are blank. Regardless of the
selected interval, a trend table displays up to 8 data columns. A trend table may also
represent special events (page 15-7).
zTrend values appear in groups of associated parameter rows.
zDiscrete events such as NPB or CO measurements cause a set of trend data to
be stored for all parameters. Such data appears as a separate trend column a
with a green time stamp heading. This is also true when a mini-calc
computation is initiated on an Delta/Delta XL/Kappa/GammaX XL monitor.
zThe trend table updates automatically whenever an interval elapses. The most

Admitting a Patient to Full/Event Disclosure
Full/Event Disclosure storage begins automatically when a patient is admitted at the
Main Screen of the Infinity CentralStation. There are two additional Manual Admit
records for patients within a Monitoring Unit, but they may not be added at the Main
Screen.
Data Collection Rules
A patient remains admitted to the Infinity CentralStation and data storage continues
for as long as the patient remains on the same monitor on the Infinity network.
If the patient leaves the Monitoring Unit and returns with the same bedside monitor
(Pick and Go) or to the same Infinity CentralStation, data storage resumes
automatically when the patient is reconnected to the Infinity Network. If the patient’s
monitor/Infinity CentralStation is different, the new care unit data is linked to the
previous data set and is available on the patient’s Full or Event Disclosure Review
screen.
Once the Full/Event Disclosure capacity is reached (4, 8, 12, 16, or 32 patients,
depending on server option) new patients can be admitted as patients are discharged
and slots become available.
The Infinity CentralStation database permits storage of “active” and “inactive” patient
records. The total number of “inactive” records available is calculated using the
formula:
64 – (n +2), with “n” equal to the number of active patients.
“Inactive” records are included in the Census Screen patient list and have no “active
data collection” symbol (16-4). Stored waveforms for patients who are removed from
Main Screen are saved and sorted according to time spent, and have an inactive status.
As soon as the storage capacity is reached, the oldest data is replaced by the most
recent. Each inactive record deletes automatically after 72 hours, except when the
record is locked (16-4).
NOTE: A Monitoring Unit is a logical group of beds that provide patient monitoring
services such as alarm annunciation, recordings and remote control to its members.
NOTE:
zIf the bedside monitor is disconnected for a PICK AND GO purpose and is
reconnected to the network, Disclosure storage resumes automatically.
zWhenever you remove a bedside monitor from the network, small gaps will
appear in the Full Disclosure waveforms.

Overview
Infinity CentralStation 17-3 VF8
Overview
With the VentCentral option you can review a patient’s ventilator information at the
Infinity CentralStation.
The displayed parameters and settings may originate from bedside monitor-connected
devices, such as:
zMedical Information Bus (MIB)-connected Ventilators and anesthesia
machines (See tables starting on page 17-19.)
zInfinity hemodynamic bedside monitors (parameters only)
zetCO2/Respiratory Mechanics Pod directly connected to a bedside monitor
(parameters only)
You may interact with the VentCentral option via three Ventilator screens:
zVentilator screen
zVentilator Settings Review screen
zVentilator Setup screen
NOTE:
zCertain parameters, identified as measured values, are derived from other
values or settings provided by the ventilator and may not reflect actual values.
See the operating instructions for your specific device for detailed information
on derived measurements.
zThe VentCentral option supports only modular monitors with VF and later
software. If VentCentral is intended for use with an MIB device, the MIB must
also have VF (or later) software.
NOTE: You cannot change any MIB-connected device settings from the Infinity
CentralStation.
WARNING! Ventilator data should be used for informational
purposes only. Refer to the primary monitoring device before
making therapeutic or diagnostic decisions. Always verify
alarm condition at the actual device.

Accessing the Ventilator Screen
1. Click on the patient’s Main Screen parameter box. For information on
accessing a remote patient, refer to page 8-3.
2. Click on View.
3. Click on Ventilator.
Scaling
If the VentCentral waveforms, loops, or trends appear clipped, you can
change the display size by clicking on the scale at the left edge of the
waveform area or to the left of the trends.
Waveform Area in Ventilator Screen
The Ventilator screen allows you to select up to three waveforms for display and
prioritize their order (page 17-12). If a waveform is not available from the bedside or
the MIB-connected device, the next waveform in the priority list is used to fill the
three waveform areas. If less than three waveforms are available, waveform areas are
blank.
Parameter Box
The parameter boxes to the right of the waveform area may consist
of MIB and/or Infinity parameters and cannot be changed. These
parameter boxes are independent of the bedside monitor and do
not flash when a parameter is in alarm. MIB parameters do not
support units, limits, and/or alarm-off icons. For Infinity
parameters a crossed bell icon appears next to the parameter label
when the alarm function is turned off.
The Ventilator Screen
Infinity CentralStation 17-7 VF8
Loops Area in Ventilator Screen
The real-time ventilator loops in the Ventilator screen are synchronous with the
associated breath. Flow Volume is shown on the left and Pressure Volume on the right.
Loops are drawn with the same display scale as the associated waveforms.
Displaying Loops
You can save and display a Reference Loop with the actual loop display. The color of
the reference loop is magenta. The Ventilator screen can display a Single Loop or
Multi-loop draw.
Loop Parameter Box
The parameter box next to the loop area contains dynamic compliance, dynamic
resistance, and arterial blood gas values. If blood gas values are not available, the
labels do not appear. The order and ranges of the parameters follow.
Trend Area in Ventilator Screen
Three trend graphs on the Ventilator screen show the most recent 8 hours of trend
data for user-selected parameters (page 17-13). If a selected parameter is not available
from the bedside/MIB device, the next parameter from the Trends Setup screen is
automatically displayed. If less than three parameters are available, the Ventilator
screen parameter graph is blank.

MIB-connected ventilators: Orange alarm messages appear in the lower right corner
of the topmost Main Screen waveform channel and are available without the
VentCentral option enabled.
In the VentCentral screens alarm messages appear on the right side of the information
area (see arrow).When an MIB-connected ventilator is active at the Infinity
CentralStation and the signal is lost, the Infinity CentralStation sounds a one-shot
alarm and displays the message, MIB Disconnected
Parameter boxes in the VentCentral screens that originate at MIB-connected
ventilators do not flash when they are in alarm.
Alarm messages that originate at MIB-connected ventilators are displayed for as long
as the ventilator sends them. If multiple alarm conditions occur simultaneously, the
messages rotate.
Alarms that originate from the etCO2/Respiratory Mechanics Pod can be silenced
remotely when the corresponding remote silence function is enabled.

disk redundancy by writing all full/event disclosure data to two identical hard drives.
With this option configured, all disclosure disk data is written to a second, identical
hard drive in the background.
System Console
This Biomed menu selection activates a console window with a prompt from which
you can:
zRun remote diagnostics for all network devices,
zShut down or restart the Infinity CentralStation,
zReview an alarm history log for telemetry patient channels consisting of the
last 5000 events (with time and date of the alarm occurrences), and
zSelect Rest ECG report formats
To open the System Console see page 18-2.
CAUTION: In the event of a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) failure, no
tone sounds, and no message appears. However, an LED on the hard drive that failed
will light.
Rest ECG Reports
VF8 Infinity CentralStation 18-7
Rest ECG Reports
Rest ECG reports are available in several formats which you can customize. As soon
as the data arrives from the bedside monitor, the Infinity CentralStation analyzes it and
generates a printed report.
Whenever the Infinity CentralStation issues a report successfully, an entry is made in
the clinical events log. If a report cannot be processed successfully, an entry is made in
the diagnostic log (page 18-9). If multiple printing requests exist, the Rest ECG report
is queued until the assigned printer becomes available.
Available Report Formats
The format of a Rest ECG report determines the layout and the type of information
included in the report. For more detailed information on generating ECG reports,
please refer to the bedside monitor documentation.
WARNING: Diagnosis based on interpretation of 12-lead
monitoring results should only be done by qualified
personnel. Prior to final interpretation and diagnosis,
qualified physicians should review suggested diagnostic
statements and all other available information

A:
General
Careful skin preparation and proper electrode placement ensure strong signals with
minimal artifact. In case of a technical alarm (e.g., a detached lead), re-prep the patient
according to the following recommendations.
Follow hospital protocol for preparing the patient’s skin. To ensure a good quality
signal, change electrodes every 24 to 48 hours (or in accordance with manufacturer’s
instructions). Electrodes may have to be changed more frequently under the following
conditions:
zECG signal degradation
zExcessive patient perspiration
zPatient skin irritation
A wide selection of reusable and single-use electrodes is available. Select the best
electrode for the monitoring situation. Dräger recommends Ag/AgCl single-use
electrodes. If you are using pre-gelled electrodes, verify that there is enough gel in the
electrode gel-filled area. Never use disposable electrodes after their expiration date or
when the gel has dried out.
Choose electrode sites in the configuration that will provide the best ECG based on
the patient’s underlying cardiac condition and the number of leads you wish to
monitor. (P- and T-wave amplitudes should be no more than one third of the QRS
amplitude.) Select flat, non-muscular sites to maximize electrode contact and
minimize muscle artifact. Avoid joints or bony protrusions. Consider the following
special conditions when selecting sites for electrode placement:
Surgery — Keep the electrodes as far from the surgical site as possible.
Burn Patients — Use sterile electrodes. Clean the equipment thoroughly.
Follow hospital infection control procedures.
WARNING! Place the Infinity M300 or Infinity Telemetry
device to reduce the possibility of:
- the device falling on or injuring patient.
- any accessory cables accidentally entangling
patient’s neck.
ECG Electrode Placement
VF8 Infinity CentralStation A-3
ECG Electrode Placement
The following illustrations show typical ECG electrode placement for 3-, 5-, and 6-
wire lead sets:
WARNING! When placing electrodes, ensure all connecting
wires are placed safely and cannot injure the patient. Serious
injury can occur if the electrode wires are allowed to encircle
the neck or extremities
3-Wire Standard 5-Wire Standard
Paced 6-Wire Standard
Chest Lead Standard
Select 2 chest lead positions
for V and V+ (page 8-14).
V+ is only used with 6-wire monitor-
ing.
Dräger recommends that you do
not use this modified placement for
TruST monitoring.

Lead Wire Color Codes
Lead wire color codes designated by the IEC and the AHA/AAMI appear in the table
that follows.:
Attaching the Pulse Oximeter
The accuracy of SpO2 monitoring depends largely on the strength and quality of the
SpO2 signal.
If a finger is used as a monitoring site, remove any nail polish. Cut the patient's finger
nails, if necessary, for better sensor placement. Use only approved sensors and apply
them per the sensor manufacturer’s recommendation (contact your local Dräger
representative for a list of approved sensors). Ambient light can interfere with pulse
oximetry measurements if the sensor is not properly attached, causing erratic
measurement or missing values. Ensure proper sensor placement and cover the sensor
with opaque material if interference due to ambient light is suspected.
1. Select the sensor type and size best suited for your patient.
2. If the sensor is reusable, clean it before and after each patient use.
3. Position the sensor correctly and attach it to your patient.
4. Connect the sensor to the patient cable.
5. Inspect the sensor application site frequently. If the sensor is too tight it may
damage the tissue and impede blood flow. If the sensor is damaged, do not use
it.

Electromagnetic Compatibility
The separation distances are written with regard to the Infinity CentralStation with
Infinity Telemetry, TruST Transmitters and Infinity M300. The numbers provided will
not guarantee faultless operation but should provide reasonable assurance of such.
This information may not be applicable to other medical electrical equipment, and
older equipment may be particularly susceptible to interference.
General Notes
Medical electrical equipment needs special precautions regarding electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) and needs to be installed and put into service according to the
EMC information provided in this manual.
Portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment can affect
medical electrical equipment. The TruST telemetry receiver may be sensitive to RF
interference and could possibly be interfered with by other equipment even if the
equipment complies with CISPR11.
Cables and accessories not specified within the instructions for use are not authorized.
Using other cables and/or accessories may adversely impact safety, performance and
electromagnetic compatibility (increased emission and decreased immunity).
The equipment should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment; if
adjacent or stacked use is inevitable, the equipment should be observed to verify
normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
When using wireless networking, be aware that the system operates at 2.4 GHz range.
Other equipment, even if compliant with CISPR emission requirements, could
interfere with reception of wireless data. When selecting new wireless systems (e.g.
cell phones, pager systems, cordless phones etc.) for use in installations where
wireless networking is used, care should always be used to insure that operating
frequencies are compatible. For example, selecting cordless phones that operate at 2.4
GHz will likely cause difficulty with the phones and networking components.
Low level signals such as ECG are potentially susceptible to interference from
electromagnetic energy. While the equipment meets the testing described below, it is
not a guarantee of perfect operation, the ‘quieter’ the electrical environment the better.
In general, increasing the distance between electrical devices decreases the likelihood
of interference.
NOTE: Detailed radio frequency characteristics: 2412-2472 MHZ, Direct-sequence
spread spectrum (DSSS) IEEE 802.11b compatible, limited to 100 mW. Applicable to
both access points and client adaptors. When used with 802.15.1 wireless, the device
will transmit with the following characteristics: 2400-2485 MHz, Frequency Hopping
Spread Spectrum (FHSS), limited to 2.5 mW. See the documentation that accompanies
the wireless products for further details.

1Field 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 equipment is used
exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the equipment should be observed to verify normal
operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting
or relocating the equipment.
