energy.
v
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, 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]
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-7230
WARNING
Do not connect cables not authorized by Fukuda Denshi to any I/O
connector. If done so by mistake, the LX-7230 cannot deliver its
maximum performance and may be damaged, resulting in a safety
hazard.
Do not use this device with multiple patients simultaneously.
CAUTION
Do not pick up and/or swing the LX-7230 pulling/grabbing the probe
(sensor) or cord part. The cable could break or get disconnected from the
LX-7230. And it may hit people or damage other equipment around.
vi
Precautions about Waterproof
CAUTION
Replace the “Battery Compartment Lid” of the LX-7230 regularly to keep
the main unit performance of waterproof. If not regularly replaced, the
quality of the lid will deteriorate and cannot keep the waterproof
performance. For details about the regular replacement, contact your
local Fukuda Denshi service representative.
The lid may be damaged from high impact. If the LX-7230 is dropped or
is subjected to a high impact, make sure that the lid is not damaged.
However, the SpO2 probes (sensors/relay cables) are not waterproof.
Do not take a bath with them, and ensure to be away from liquid.
Do not use the LX-7230 wet. Always wipe the LX-7230 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.
vii
Precautions about SpO2
WARNING
During SpO2 monitoring, always use the probe (sensor)/relay cable
specified by Fukuda Denshi. If any other probe (sensor)/relay cable is
used, a high temperature rise of the probe (sensor) may place the
patient in danger of burns in the worst case.
When the SpO2 probe (sensor) is in a connector-off condition, the SpO2
alarm will not be generated on the receiving monitor. Make sure that the
SpO2 probe (sensor)/ relay cable is securely connected. If the SpO2
waveform/numeric data is not displayed, check the patient’s condition
and pay attention not to miss the connector-off condition.
When measuring the SpO2 of a patient with high fever or peripheral
circulatory insufficiency, check the probe (sensor) attachment
periodically and change the attachment site. The temperature of the
attachment site will rise 2 to 3C due to the sensor heat which may
result in compression necrosis and burn injury.
Even a short duration of attachment may inhibit the blood flow and
generate compression necrosis and burn injury.
When securing the probe (sensor) with tape, do not apply the tape too
tight. At the same time, check the blood flow constantly so that
congestion is not generated at the peripheral. When removing the tape,
remove it slowly with care not to damage the patient’s skin.
CAUTION
For the following case, accurate measurement may not be possible.
Patient with excessive abnormal hemoglobin (COHb, MetHb)
Patient with the pigment injected to the blood
Patient receiving CPR treatment
Placement of SpO2 probe (sensor) on limb with a blood-pressure cuff,
arterial catheter, or intravascular line
When measuring at placement position with venous pulse
Patient with body motion
Patient with small pulse
Excessive body motion (patient’s motion)
Excessive light (direct sunlight, fluorescent, light therapy equipment,
surgical light, infrared heat ramp, etc.)
External colorant such as nail polish
Abnormally low or high hemoglobin concentration
Electrosurgery
Influence of electromagnetic waves from other electronics devices
High-intensity radio waves from cell phone
viii
Precautions about Output Signal
WARNING
Do not use the output signal of the monitor that receives radio wave signal
from the LX-7230 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.
Precautions about Accessories and Optional Accessories
WARNING
Use only the accessories, such as ECG Lead cable and SpO2 probe
(sensor)/ relay cable, specified by Fukuda Denshi for the LX-7230.
Otherwise, the LX-7230 cannot deliver its maximum performance and may
be damaged, resulting in a safety hazard.

receiver antenna as required.
For management, make sure to follow the precautions below.
The Institution should appoint a person (hereinafter referred to as the
“Overall Manager”) to manage the wireless channels for the whole
Institution.
And when using telemetry, which requires zone location, the Institution
should nominate a person (hereinafter referred to as the “Zone Manager”)
to manage the wireless channels in each zone. However, when using such
telemetry in a local Institution, one person can perform both functions.
The Overall Manager and Zone Manager must be selected from people
who understand the characteristics and functionality of telemetry systems,
and are skilled in operating telemetry.
When installing telemetry, the Overall Manager and the Zone Manager
have to understand the precautions for use of telemetry in advance.
The Overall Manager is responsible for maintenance of wireless channel
and storage and maintenance of telemeter in the overall medical facilities
to give proper instructions to the Zone Manager when using telemetry
needing zone alignment, and to the telemetry user when using telemetry
not-needing zone alignment.
The Overall Manager should create a management log (hereinafter
referred to as the “log”), which contains a list of the management status of
the wireless channels for the whole Institution. When changing a wireless
channel, register it in the log and give proper instructions to the Zone
Manager or to the user.
The Zone Manager assumes responsibility for managing the wireless
channels, storing, and managing telemetry.
The Zone Manager assigns the transmitter to the user, and provides
enough education for use inside the zone.
The telemetry user verifies operation of the transmitter/receiver before
use.
The telemetry user, if using the telemetry in a zone location, follows the
instructions of the Zone Manager for the zone and gives instructions to the
patient if required.
When interference or breakdown occurs in telemetry communication, the
user is required to inform the Zone Manager and the Overall Manager of
the problems. The Zone Manager and Overall Manager are to deal with
the problem properly and/or contact their nearest Fukuda Denshi
representative for service.

from the batteries may damage the device, or an explosion from the
batteries may occur.
Remove the exhausted batteries immediately. The leakage from the
batteries may damage the device, or an explosion from the batteries
may occur.
If the transmitter is not in use for a long period of time, remove the
batteries and store the device in an appropriate place. If the batteries
are left in the transmitter for a long period of time, the leakage from the
batteries may damage the device or an explosion from the batteries
may occur.
Make sure to replace the two batteries simultaneously. If a new and
used battery are mixed, a leakage from the batteries may damage the
device or an explosion from the batteries may occur.

■ Attaching the Electrodes
CAUTION
Always use the same type of electrodes. If different types of electrodes are
used at the same time, the difference between the polarization potential
from each electrode may interfere with monitoring.
CAUTION
Do not reuse the disposable electrodes. It is intended for single patent use
only.
Clean the electrode sites with alcohol wipes
or other skin preparation. If necessary, shave
the electrode sites to remove excessive hair.
Peel off the disposable electrode.
Pay attention not to touch the electrode gel.

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 device 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 device, 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.

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.

6. SpO2 Monitoring
When the transmitter is used without the ECG lead cable, it will measure only
SpO2.
WARNING
When the SpO2 probe (sensor) is in a connector-off condition, the SpO2
alarm will not be generated on the receiving monitor. Make sure that the
SpO2 probe (sensor)/ relay cable is securely connected. If the SpO2
waveform/numeric data is not displayed, check the patient’s condition and
pay attention not to miss the connector-off condition.
CAUTION
When using the transmitter with only the SpO2 sensor cable, ECG and
respiration measurements on the receiving monitor shall be turned off to
prevent an erroneous alarm.
There are varieties of SpO2 sensors depending on the purpose and intended
use for LX-7230N and LX-7230KM. Select a proper one and attach it to the
patient.
CAUTION

■ Applying the OxiMax® MAX-I sensor
This Nellcor® adhesive sensor, model MAX-I, is indicated for continuous
noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring and can be
reused on the same patient as long as the adhesive tape attaches without
slippage.
1. Remove the plastic backing from the MAX-I and locate the two transparent
windows on the adhesive side. Windows cover optical components. Note
the corresponding alignment marks (a) on the non-adhesive side and the
dashed line (b) midway between the marks (Figure (1)).
The big toe is the preferred MAX-I location. Alternatively, apply the sensor
to another digit of similar size, for example, the thumb.
NOTE
When selecting the sensor site, priority should be given to an extremity free
of an arterial catheter, blood pressure cuff, or intravascular infusion line.
2. Orient the MAX-I so that the window next to the cable is aligned on the
bottom of the big toe as shown. The cable should extend towards the heel
(Figure (2)).
3. Wrap the MAX-I firmly, but not too tightly around the toe. Windows must
oppose each other for correct measurement (Figure (3)).
4. Wrap any excess tape loosely around the toe. Use additional tape
provided to secure the cable across the bottom of the foot, loosely enough
to maintain good circulation (Figure (4)).
5. Connect the MAX-I into the LX-7230N. Verify proper operation as
described in the operation manual.
(1) (2) (3) (4)
NOTE
If the sensor does not track the pulse reliably, it may be incorrectly
positioned – or the sensor site may be too thick, thin, or deeply pigmented,
or otherwise deeply colored (for example, as a result of externally applied
coloring such as nail polish, dye, or pigmented cream) to permit appropriate
light transmission. If any of these situations occurs, reposition the sensor or
choose an alternate Nellcor sensor to use on a different site.

Reapplication
1. The MAX-I can be reused on the same patient as long as the adhesive
tape attaches without slippage.
2. Enclosed adhesive “dots” are provided for reapplication. Place a
transparent dot over each window as shown, and then remove the
protective paper that covers each dot (Figure (5)). The sensor is now ready
to be reapplied to the same patient. For the reapplication, do not remove
the previous adhesive dot, but place the enclosed adhesive dot over it.
(5)
CAUTION
Precautions for Use of adhesive sensor, MAX-I
Do not reuse the sensor on other patients. This is a sterilized product
and it is intended for single patient use only.
Circulation distal on the sensor site should be checked routinely. The
site must be inspected every 8 hours to ensure adhesion, skin
integrity, and correct optical alignment. If skin integrity changes, move
the sensor to another site
Do not use the sensor on patients who exhibit allergic reactions to the
adhesive tape.
Failure to apply the sensor properly may cause incorrect
measurements.
While the sensor is designed to reduce the effects of ambient light,
excessive light may cause inaccurate measurements. In such cases,
cover the sensor with an opaque material.
If the sensor is wrapped too tightly or supplemental tape is applied,
venous pulsations may lead to inaccurate saturation measurements.
Excessive motion may compromise performance. In such cases, try to
keep the patient still, or change the sensor site to one with less
motion.
Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring such as nail polish,
dye, or pigmented cream may lead to inaccurate measurements.
Do not pull the sensor cable to remove the sensor from the device.
In the event of damage to the sterile packaging, do NOT use. Make
sure to check whether the packaging and product is cracked or
damaged before use. If there is any damage.
Do not immerse in water or cleaning solutions. Do not resterilize.

■ Applying the OxiMax® MAX-N sensor
This Nellcor® adhesive sensor, model MAX-N, is indicated for continuous
noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring and can be
reused on the same patient as long as the adhesive tape attaches without
slippage.
1. Remove the plastic backing from the MAX-N and locate the two
transparent windows on the adhesive side. Windows cover optical
components. Note the corresponding alignment marks (a) on the non-
adhesive side and the dashed line (b) midway between the marks (Figure
(1)).
2. Orient the MAX-N so that the dashed line is on the lateral edge of the site
(a):
Neonates: The preferred site is the foot. Alternatively, use the hand. The
window next to the cable goes on the sole of the foot as shown (Figure (2)).
Adults: The preferred site is the index finger. Alternatively, other fingers
may be used. The window next to the cable goes on the nail side, distal to
the first joint. Do not place on a joint. Note that the cable must be
positioned on the top of the hand (Figure (3)).
NOTE
When selecting a sensor site, priority should be given to an extremity free of
an arterial catheter, blood pressure cuff, or intravascular infusion line.
3. Wrap the MAX-N firmly, but not too tightly around the foot or finger.
Windows must oppose each other.
4. Connect the MAX-N into the LX-7230N. Verify proper operation as
described in the operation manual.

NOTE
If the sensor does not track the pulse reliably, it may be incorrectly
positioned - or the sensor site may be excessively wrinkled, or too deeply
pigmented or otherwise deeply colored (for example, as a result of
externally applied coloring such as dye or pigmented cream) to permit
appropriate light transmission. If any of these situations occurs, reposition
the sensor in a different location or choose an alternate Nellcor sensor to
use on a different site.
Reapplication
1. The MAX-A can be reused on the same patient as long as the adhesive
tape attaches without slippage.
2. Enclosed adhesive “dots” are provided for reapplication. Place the
transparent dot over each window as shown, and then remove the
protective paper that covers each dot (Figure (4)). The sensor is now
ready to be reapplied to the same patient. For the reapplication, do not
remove the previous adhesive dot, but place the enclosed adhesive dot
over it.

CAUTION
Precautions for Use of adhesive sensor, MAX-N
Do not reuse the sensor on other patients. This is a sterilized product
and it is intended for single patient use only.
Circulation distal on the sensor site should be checked routinely. The
site must be inspected every 8 hours to ensure adhesion, skin
integrity, and correct optical alignment. If skin integrity changes, move
the sensor to another site.
Do not use the sensor on patients who exhibit allergic reactions to the
adhesive tape.
Failure to apply the sensor properly may cause incorrect
measurements.
While the sensor is designed to reduce the effects of ambient light,
excessive light may cause inaccurate measurements. In such cases,
cover the sensor with an opaque material.
If the sensor is wrapped too tightly or supplemental tape is applied,
venous pulsations may lead to inaccurate saturation measurements.
Excessive motion may compromise performance. In such cases, try to
keep the patient still, or change the sensor site to one with less
motion.
Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring such as nail polish,
dye, or pigmented cream may lead to inaccurate measurements.
Do not pull the sensor cable to remove the sensor from the device.
In the event of damage to the sterile packaging, do NOT use. Make
sure to check whether the packaging and product is cracked or
damaged before use. If there is any damage.
Do not immerse in water or cleaning solutions. Do not resterilize.

■ Applying the OXIMAX® MAX-FAST sensor
This is an adhesive sensor, model MAX-FAST, for continuous noninvasive
arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring and can be reused on the
same patient as long as the adhesive tape attaches without slippage.
1. Clean the sensor site with an alcohol wipe to remove skin oils. See
illustration for the recommended site. (Figure (1))
(1)
2. Remove the white paper backing to expose the first of three adhesive
pads (Figure (2)). The OXIMAX® MAX-FAST sensor is now ready to be
applied on the patient.
(2)
NOTE
There are three adhesive pads attached to the sensor, each with a pull-tab
for removal. When repositioning the sensor on the same patient, first
expose the new adhesive pad by grasping the tab and peeling off the old
adhesive pad. The sensor is now ready to be reapplied to the patient.
3. Place the sensor onto a flat, hairless portion of the patient’s forehead just
above the left or right eyebrow. If the patient is lying on their side, place
the sensor above the eye on the side of the patient’s head not in contact
with the bed. Press the MAX-FAST sensor firmly in place for 10 seconds,
ensuring that the entire surface area of the adhesive pad makes contact
with the skin (Figure (3)).

CAUTION
Precautions for Use of adhesive sensors, MAX-FAST
Do not reuse the sensor on other patients. This is a sterilized product
and it is intended for single patient use only.
Circulation distal on the sensor site should be checked routinely. The
site must be inspected every 12 hours to ensure adhesion, skin
integrity, and correct position. Because individual skin condition
affects the ability of the skin to tolerate sensor placement, it may be
necessary to change the sensor site more frequently with some
patients.
Do not use the OXIMAX® MAX-FAST sensor on patients who exhibit
allergic reactions to the adhesive pad; for patients who perspire
profusely; or under conditions where the patient is in the
Trendelenburg position (head lower than the heart).
Failure to apply the sensor properly may cause incorrect

While the sensor is designed to reduce the effects of ambient light,
excessive light may cause inaccurate measurements. In such cases,
cover the sensor with an opaque material.
Do not use tape with the sensor. Use of additional tape or other types
of adhesives may cause skin damage.
Applying the headband too tightly can lead to inaccurate saturation
measurements, or possibly to temporary pressure marks from sensor.
Excessive motion may compromise performance. In such cases, try to
keep the patient still, or change the sensor site to one with less
motion.
For patients in a prone position, venous pooling and/or pulsation may
cause inaccurate SpO2 readings. Use of the headband is advised.
Do not pull the sensor cable to remove the sensor from the device.
In the event of damage to the sterile packaging, do NOT use. Make
sure to check whether the packaging and product is cracked or

9. Other Setting Items
The following settings are available for the LX-7230 depending on the use and
condition of the patient. For details of the settings, contact our service
representative.
Items Selection Default Backup

1200 to 1279
1300 to 1379
1100 Yes
Group ID One from 00 to 63 00 Yes
■ 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-
7230, to distinguish whether the selection of time constant is changed.
9. Other Setting Items
64
■ 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-7230 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-7230, to distinguish whether the setting of the pacemaker pulse
detection is changed.
9. Other Setting Items
65
■ 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-7230 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-7230, 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-7230 can be changed in 8 steps.
For details of the setting change, contact your local Fukuda Denshi service
representative.

10. Changing the Transmitter Channel and Group ID
■ Changing the Transmitter Channel
The LX-7230 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-7230 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 cell 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.

NOTE
The SpO2 measurement accuracy is determined based on the values of
the root-mean-square (rms) difference between SpO2 readings of the pulse
oximeter equipment and values of SaO2 determined with a CO-oximeter,
by healthy adult volunteers. The pulse oximeter equipment measurements
are statistically distributed; ±2% measurement accuracy means that only
about two-thirds of pulse oximeter equipment measurements can be
expected to fall within ±2% of the value measured by a CO-oximeter.
