Electric shock may result from the discharged energy.
vi Precautions about the Pacemaker WARNING  Minute ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemakers can occasionally interact with certain cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment, causing the pacemakers to pace at their maximum programmed rate. The cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment may possibly send wrong information. If such event occurs, disconnect the cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment, or follow the procedures described in the operation manual of the pacemaker. (For more details, contact FUKUDA DENSHI personnel, your institution’s professionals, or your pacemaker distributors.) Reference “Minute Ventilation Rate-Adaptive Pacemakers” FDA alerts health professionals that minute ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemakers can occasionally interact with certain cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment, causing pacemakers to pace at their maximum programmed rate. [October 14, 1998 (Letter: www .fda.gov/cdrh/safety.html) – FDA]  ECG meter may continue to count the pacemaker rate during occurrences of cardiac arrest or arrhythmias. Do not rely entirely upon the ECG meter alarms. Keep pacemaker patients under close surveillance. Check this manual for disclosure of the pacemaker pulse rejection capability of this instrument. Precautions about the LX-7120(G) WARNING  Do not connect cables not authorized by Fukuda Denshi to any I/O connector. If done so by mistake, the LX-7120(G) cannot deliver its maximum performance and may be damaged, resulting in a safety hazard.  Do not use this equipment with multiple patients simultaneously.  This equipment itself has no alarm function. Do not use it if an alarm function is necessary. The alarm function with the receiving monitor, refer to the operation manual of the receiving monitor. CAUTION Do not pick up and/or swing the LX-7120(G) pulling/grabbing the cord part. The cable could break or get disconnected from the LX-7120(G). And it may hit people or damage other equipment around.
vii Precautions about Waterproof CAUTION  Replace the “Battery Compartment Lid” of the LX-7120(G) regularly to keep the performance of waterproof.

For details about the regular replacement, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service representative.  The lid may be damaged from high impact. If the LX-7120(G) is dropped or is subjected to a high impact, make sure that the lid is not damaged.  Do not use the LX-7120(G) wet. Always wipe the LX-7120(G) with a soft cloth and dry it thoroughly before use. Precautions about ECG CAUTION  When removing electrodes from the patient, remove them carefully and slowly. Do not apply excessive force to remove them. Otherwise, it may damage the skin.  There are some cases when the pacemaker pulse cannot be detected depending on the pacemaker type, pulse voltage, pulse width, electrode lead type (unipolar, bipolar), electrode placement, or lead method which causes the pacemaker pulse amplitude to decrease and disables pacemaker pulse detection.  If signals similar to a pacemaker pulse are present, such as electric blanket noise or excessive AC frequency noise, these may be erroneously detected and displayed as a pacemaker pulse. In this case, check the condition of the electrodes and ECG lead cable to resolve the cause or turn off the pacemaker detection setting on the receiving monitor. Precautions about Output Signal WARNING Do not use the output signal of the monitor that receives radio wave signal from the LX-7120(G) as the trigger signal for IABP, MRI echocardiographic, or defibrillator for the following reasons.  It may lead to a delay of operating timing due to the delay time of waveform transmission.  A trigger signal unrelated to the heart rate may be generated due to the interfusion of spike noise at weak electric field.
viii Precautions about Accessories and Optional Accessories WARNING Use only the accessories, such as ECG Lead cable, specified by Fukuda Denshi for the LX-7120(G). Otherwise, the LX-7120(G) cannot deliver its maximum performance and may be damaged, resulting in a safety hazard.

4. ECG Monitoring 14 CAUTION  There are some cases when pacemaker pulse cannot be detected depending on the pacemaker type, pulse voltage, pulse width, electrode lead type (unipolar, bipolar), electrode placement, or lead method which causes the pacemaker pulse amplitude to decrease and disables pacemaker pulse detection.  If signals similar to a pacemaker pulse are present, such as electric blanket noise or excessive AC frequency noise, these may be erroneously detected and displayed as a pacemaker pulse. In this case, check the condition of the electrodes and ECG lead cable to resolve the cause or turn off the pacemaker detection setting on the receiving monitor.  Time constant of this equipment is shorter than Fukuda Denshi monitors (direct ECG connection). Therefore, there is a difference in the ST measurement value between them. Pay attention to the difference when monitoring a patient from a transmitter or a monitor.  When an electrode is attached on the same location for a long time, some patients may develop skin irritation. Check the patient’s skin condition periodically and change the electrode position as required.  The indication for continuous use of an electrode is about one day.  Replace the electrode if the skin contact gets loosen due to perspiring, etc.  Make sure to use new disposable electrodes. Otherwise, the waveform quality may become poor and it may fail to perform correct monitoring.  When “Check Electrode” message is displayed on the screen of the receiving monitor or the LCD of this equipment, check the condition of the electrodes and ECG lead cable to resolve the cause.  When removing electrodes from the patient, remove them carefully and slowly. Do not apply excessive force to remove them. Otherwise, it may damage the skin.  It may not perform a correct measurement due to the attached position of the electrodes. Attach the electrodes on the patient referring to page 10 and 11 and make sure that the correct waveform is measured on the LCD.
15 5. Respiration Monitoring Follow the preparation of “4.ECG Monitoring” to allow the respiration monitoring. This respiration monitoring is performed with impedance method. The ECG electrodes are also used for detecting the respiration. Each lead cable specifies the electrodes to detect the respiration. For 3-electrode and 5-electrode (chest) lead cable, the electrodes to detect the respiration are fixed as follows. Even if lead method is switched, they are no changes. Lead Cable Color of Electrode 3-electrode White (RA) and Red (LL)4-electrode White (RA) and Red (LL)5-electrode (Chest)White (RA) and Red (LL) WARNING Minute ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemakers can occasionally interact with certain cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment, causing the pacemakers to pace at their maximum programmed rate. The cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment may possibly send wrong information. If such event occurs, please disconnect the cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment, or follow the procedures described in the operation manual of the pacemaker. (For more details, contact FUKUDA DENSHI personnel, your institution’s professionals, or your pacemaker distributors.) Reference “Minute Ventilation Rate-Adaptive Pacemakers” FDA alerts health professionals that minute ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemakers can occasionally interact with certain cardiac monitoring and diagnostic equipment, causing pacemakers to pace at their maximum programmed rate. [October 14, 1998 (Letter: www .fda.gov/cdrh/safety.html) - FDA] CAUTION  Even if the electrodes are attached on the proper positions for ECG monitoring, it may not be always the proper ones for respiration monitoring as well.  When a defibrillator is used during respiration monitoring, a large offset voltage will be placed on the ECG electrodes, which may cause interruption of monitoring for a few seconds.

31 8. Other Setting Items The following settings are available for the LX-7120(G) depending on the use and condition of the patient. For details of the settings, contact our service representative. Items Selection Default Backup Time Constant 0.4 sec., 0.1 sec. 0.4 sec. YesDetection Sensitivity of Pacemaker Pulse Low, Mid, High Mid Yes Respiration Detection Signal ON, OFF ON Yes LCD Contrast 8 steps 8 Yes Transmitter Channel One from the following channels. 9501 to 9539 9600 to 9639 9700 to 9739 9800 to 9839 9900 to 9938 2701 to 2739 2800 to 2839 2900 to 2918 2921 to 2939 3000 to 3039 3100 to 3118 9501 Yes Group ID One from 00 to 63 00 Yes
8. Other Setting Items 32 ■ Changing the Time Constant The default setting of the time constant is “0.4 seconds”. If a stable monitoring is difficult with excessive change in the baseline due to excessive body motion of the patient or an interference noise, such as AC frequency, by changing the time constant to “0.1 second” the monitoring may become relatively stable. For details of the setting change, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service representative. CAUTION  When changing the time constant to “0.1 seconds”, the lower frequency characteristic becomes 1.6Hz ±25%. This setup does not meet IEC 60601-2-27 standard. It may lead to a change in the ECG waveform and ST measurement value may be especially affected. Fukuda Denshi recommends “0.4 seconds” setting in normal use.  The LCD screen in normal use does not indicate the selection of time constant. Make sure to take measures, such as marking on the LX-7120(G), to distinguish whether the selection of time constant is changed.
8. Other Setting Items 33 ■ Changing the Detection Sensitivity of the Pacemaker Pulse The default setting of pacemaker pulse detection sensitivity is “Mid”. The “Mid” setting can detect and reject the following pacemaker pulse specified in ANSI/AAMI EC13 standard. Detection/ Rejection of Pacemaker Pulse: a) Pacemaker Pulse without Over/Undershoot: Capable to reject pulses of pulse width 0.1 to 2ms, amplitude ±2 to ±700mV b) Pacemaker Pulse with Over/Undershoot: Rejection is not possible. Fukuda Denshi recommends the “Mid” setting in normal use. There may be some cases when the pacemaker pulse cannot be detected depending on the pacemaker type, pulse voltage, pulse width, electrode lead type (unipolar, bipolar). In this case, change the lead or the position of the electrodes to be able to detect the pacemaker pulse. Nonetheless, if the detection is still undetectable, change the setting to “High” in order to increase the detection sensitivity. So that smaller pacemaker pulse can be detected. However, the “High” setting may lead to erroneous detection due to interference noise, such as AC frequency. If erroneous detections occur due to interference noise, such as AC frequency, turn OFF the setting of the pacemaker pulse detection in the receiving monitor. If erroneous detections occur due to interference noise, such as AC frequency, while monitoring a patient with a pacemaker, and the setting of the pacemaker pulse detection cannot be turned OFF, replace the electrodes or change the lead to remove the interference noise, such as AC frequency. Nonetheless, if erroneous detections still occur, change the setting to “Low” in order to decrease the detection sensitivity. It makes the LX-7120(G) less likely to be interfered by the noise, such as AC frequency. The “Low” setting decreases the detection sensitivity. Therefore, it cannot detect the pacemaker pulse specified in ANSI/AAMI EC13 standard. For details of the setting change, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service representative. CAUTION The LCD screen in normal use does not indicate the setting status of the pacemaker pulse detection. Make sure to take measures, such as marking on the LX-7120(G), to distinguish whether the setting of the pacemaker pulse detection is changed.
8. Other Setting Items 34 ■ Changing the Respiration Detection Signal ON/OFF The default setting of the respiration detection signal is “ON”. The respiration waveform can be detected when the setting of the respiration detection signal is turned “ON”. WARNING If the LX-7120(G) is used with minute ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemaker, the respiration detection signal may cause the pacemaker to pace at its maximum programmed rate. If such event occurs, change the setting to “OFF” to prevent an occurrence of erroneous pacing rate. For details of the setting change, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service representative. CAUTION  The respiration waveform cannot be measured if the setting of the respiration detection signal is turned “OFF”.  Make sure to turn OFF the respiration measurement function on the receiving monitor to prevent an erroneous detection of the respiration alarm (on the receiving monitor side).  The LCD screen in normal use does not indicate the setting status of the respiration detection signal ON/OFF. Make sure to take measures, such as marking on the LX-7120(G), to distinguish whether the setting of the respiration detection signal ON/OFF is changed. ■ Changing the LCD Contrast The LCD display contrast of the LX-7120(G) can be changed in 8 steps. For details of the setting change, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service representative.

36 9. Changing the Transmitter Channel and Group ID ■ Changing the Transmitter Channel The LX-7120(G) is a transmitter of PLL synthesizer type, and its transmitter channel can be programmed. It can be set up with an arbitrary channel among the channels assigned by the Telemetry Laws (according to each country). For details of the setting change, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service representative. WARNING  If the transmitter channel is changed, follow the instruction by the person in charge of the radio telemetry channel in your facility. Mismanagement may result in a serious accident, such as interference and mixing up patients.  Replace promptly the new channel label if the transmitter channel has been changed. ■ Changing the Group ID The LX-7120(G) transmits its group ID, which it belongs to, to prevent interference with neighboring hospital's transmitter. The receiving monitor checks whether the incoming group ID is the same as the programmed one that the receiving monitor has. There are 64 group codes available. The default setting is “00”. The transmitter group ID can be changed if there is interference with a neighboring hospital's transmitter. For details of the setting change, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service representative. CAUTION Possible causes of interference other than radio telemetry from neighboring hospital's transmitter, are the proximity of mobile phone, amateur radio station, radio taxi, and illegal citizens band, which may be a cause of interference. In such a case, the situation should be carefully observed to find the cause of interference.
