WARNING
The following actions must be taken to properly receive the
transmitter signal of the correct patient on the receiving instrument.
Otherwise, there may be signal loss or signals may mix causing a
serious accident, such as monitoring a different patient.
• Assign a channel administrator in the hospital and only he or she
should manage channel assignment.
• The channel administrator must manage the channels in the facility
so that there is no signal interference.
• When the transmitter channel is changed, the channel
administrator must check that the channel on the receiving monitor
is also changed and the signal is properly received.
• The channel administrator must replace the channel number label
on the transmitter with the new one after changing the channel.
WARNING
Do not use the same transmitter on more than one patient at the
same time. Do not connect different sensors on different patients to
the same transmitter.
CAUTION
• Do not use the same channel for different patients. If the same
channel is used for two patients, the two patients’ data will be lost
due to mutual modulation interference, or another patient’s data
may appear on the receiving monitor screen.
• Do not use transmitters of adjacent channels in a hospital. If a
transmitter of an adjacent channel is used, radio waves from one
transmitter affect the receiver of the adjacent channel’s transmitter
and there may be interference.
Operator’s Manual ZM-920PA/921PA/930PA/931PA 3
NOTE
• To prevent interference between channels, assign a channel
administrator in the hospital and only he or she should manage channel
assignment.
• Use Nihon Kohden parts and accessories to assure maximum
performance from your instrument.
• For stable signal reception, it is recommended to use a diversity
antenna system on the receiving monitor. Otherwise, spike noise from
transient fading of electric field strength (for example, people moving)
may interfere with the transmitter signal and may be mistaken as an
arrhythmia on the receiving monitor.
• Do not diagnose a patient based on only part of the monitoring data on
the transmitter or only on the data acquired by the transmitter. Overall
judgement must be performed by a physician who understands the
features, limitations and characteristics of the transmitter by reading
this operator’s manual thoroughly and by reading the biomedical signals
acquired by other instruments.
• For details on the receiving monitor and upgrade information, contact
your Nihon Kohden representative.

give incorrect data to the monitor. If this occurs, disconnect the
electrode leads from the patient or change the setting on the
pacemaker by referring to the pacemaker’s manual. For more details,
contact your pacemaker representative or Nihon Kohden
representative.
Output Signal
WARNING
Do not use the output signal from the receiving monitor as the
synchronization signal for other equipment such as IABP, MRI,
echocardiography or defibrillator. There may be time delay between
the monitor and the other equipment caused by waveform
transmission delay and spike noise may interfere on the output signal
and be mistaken as a trigger.
Operator’s Manual ZM-920PA/921PA/930PA/931PA 13
ECG Monitoring
CAUTION
Only use Nihon Kohden specified electrodes and electrode leads.
When other type of electrodes or electrode leads are used, the
“CHECK ELECTRODES” message may be displayed and monitoring
may stop.
CAUTION
When the “ELECTRODE OFF” or “CHECK ELECTRODE” message
is displayed on the receiving monitor, ECG is not monitored properly
and the ECG alarm does not function. Check the electrode, electrode
leads, and if necessary, replace with new ones.
SpO2 Monitoring
WARNING
SpO2 measurement may be incorrect in the following cases.
• When the patient’s carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin
increases abnormally.
• When dye is injected in the blood.
• When using an electrosurgical unit.
• During CPR.
• When measuring at a site with venous pulse.
• When there is body movement.
• When the pulse wave is small (insufficient peripheral circulation).
14 Operator’s Manual ZM-920PA/921PA/930PA/931PA
WARNING
Check the circulation condition by observing the skin color at the
measurement site and pulse waveform. Change the measurement
site every 8 hours for disposable probes and every 4 hours for
reusable probes (every 8 hours for TL-630T/TL-631T series probe).
The skin temperature may increase at the attached site by 2 or 3°C
(4 or 5°F) and cause a burn or pressure necrosis. When using the
probe on the following patients, take extreme care and change the
measurement site more frequently according to symptoms and
degree.
• Patient with a fever
• Patient with peripheral circulation insufficiency
• Neonate or low birth weight infant with delicate skin
• Patient who is receiving photodynamic therapy*
* Photodynamic therapy is a treatment to remove the affected tissue by using a
photosensitizing agent and exposing the tissue to light. This treatment has a side
effectofphotosensitivityandthelightfromthengerprobesensormaycause
a burn. This probe uses two light wavelengths in the range from 650 to 950 nm.
The maximum light intensity is less than 5.5 mW/sr.
WARNING
When not monitoring SpO2, disconnect the SpO2 cable from the
transmitter. Otherwise, noise from the probe sensor may interfere and
incorrect data is displayed on the screen.
Operator’s Manual ZM-920PA/921PA/930PA/931PA 15
WARNING
• When using the TL-201T finger probe, do not fasten the probe and
cable to the finger by wrapping with tape. This may cause burn,
congestion or pressure necrosis from poor blood circulation.
• When using probes other than the TL-201T finger probe, to avoid
poor circulation, do not wrap the tape too tight. Check the blood
circulation condition by observing the skin color and congestion at
the skin peripheral to the probe attachment site. Even for short-
term monitoring, there may be burn or pressure necrosis from
poor blood circulation, especially on neonates or low birth weight
infants whose skin is delicate. Accurate measurement cannot be
performed on a site with poor peripheral circulation.
CAUTION
While a patient is on medication which causes vasodilation, the pulse
waveform may change and in rare cases the SpO2 value might not be
displayed.
CAUTION
Normal external light does not affect monitoring but strong light such
as a surgical light or sunlight may affect monitoring. If affected, cover
the measuring site with a blanket.
CAUTION
If the attachment site is dirty with blood or bodily fluids, clean the
attachment site before attaching the probe. If there is nail polish on
the attachment site, remove the polish. Otherwise, the amount of
transmitted light decreases, and measured value may be incorrect or
measurement cannot be performed.
16 Operator’s Manual ZM-920PA/921PA/930PA/931PA
CAUTION
Do not use a probe which is deteriorated by aging. Accurate
measurement cannot be performed.
CAUTION
Do not use a damaged or disassembled probe. It causes incorrect
measurement and may injure the patient.
CAUTION
The disposable probe is not sterilized. Use the disposable probe only
for a single patient. Never reuse the disposable probe for another
patient because it causes cross infection.
CAUTION
If the skin gets irritated or redness appears on the skin from the
probe, change the attachment site or stop using the probe. Take
extreme care for the patients with delicate skin.
CAUTION
Do not pull or bend the probe cable, and do not put caster feet on the
probe cable. Do not immerse the probe cable in chemical solutions or
water. Failure to follow these instructions may cause cable
discontinuity, short circuit, skin burn on the patient and incorrect
measurement data. Replace any broken probe with a new one.
CAUTION
When the probe is attached on an appropriate site with sufficient
circulation and the error message confirming the probe attachment
repeatedly appears, the probe may be deteriorated. Replace it with a
new one.
Operator’s Manual ZM-920PA/921PA/930PA/931PA 17
CAUTION

of the monitor for details.
WARNING
Interaction Between Minute Ventilation Rate-Adaptive Pacemakers
and Cardiac Monitoring and Diagnostic Equipment*
The bioelectric impedance measurement sensor of a minute
ventilation rate-adaptive implantable pacemaker may be affected by
transmitter which is connected to the same patient. If this occurs, the
pacemaker may pace at its maximum rate and the transmitter may
give incorrect data to the monitor. If this occurs, disconnect the
electrode leads from the patient or change the setting on the
pacemaker by referring to the pacemaker’s manual. For more details,
contact your pacemaker representative or Nihon Kohden
representative.
* Minute ventilation is sensed in rate-adaptive pacemakers by a technology
known as bioelectric impedance measurement (BIM). Many medical devices in
addition to pacemakers use this technology. When one of these devices is used
on a patient with an active, minute ventilation rate-adaptive pacemaker, the
pacemaker may erroneously interpret the mixture of BIM signals created in the
patient, resulting in an elevated pacing rate.
For more information, see the FDA web site.
http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/safety.html
26 Operator’s Manual ZM-920PA/921PA/930PA/931PA
WARNING
When the transmitter is used with an electrosurgical unit (ESU),
firmly attach the entire area of the ESU return plate. Otherwise, the
current from the ESU flows into the electrodes of the transmitter,
causing electrical burn where the electrodes are attached. For
details, refer to the ESU manual.
NOTE
• This transmitter is not protected against noise generated from an
electrosurgical unit.
• If an electric blanket is used and incorrect heart rate is displayed on the
monitor, turn off the pacing pulse detection on the monitor.
ECG Measurement Procedure

Electrodes
Preparing the Patient Skin
Shave off excessive body hair.
To reduce skin impedance, clean the electrode site with cream or with a cotton pad
moistened with the electrode site with cream or with a cotton pad moistened with
alcohol. Thoroughly dry the skin with a clean cotton pad.
NOTE
• For a patient with frequent body movement, rub the sites with Skinpure
skin preparation gel. However, do not use Skinpure skin preparation gel
for sensitive skin.
• Do not place electrodes on a wound or on an inflamed, wrinkled or
uneven skin surface.
Attaching Electrodes to the Patient
CAUTION
Do not reuse disposable parts and accessories.
NOTE
• To maintain good contact between the electrode and skin, check that the
paste of the disposable electrode is not dry.
• When contact between the disposable electrode and skin becomes
poor, replace electrodes with new ones immediately. Otherwise, contact
impedance between the skin and the electrode increases and the
correct ECG cannot be obtained.
Refer to the electrode operator’s manual for details.
1. Connect the electrode lead to the electrode.
Operator’s Manual ZM-920PA/921PA/930PA/931PA 33
2. Carefully remove the backing paper from
the electrode. Avoid touching the adhesive
surface.
3. Place the electrode on the previously
cleaned skin. Pay attention to the electrode
lead color and symbol.
4. Fasten the electrode lead wire with surgical
tape with an extra length of wire between
the tape and the electrode. This lessens
the movement of electrode leads by body
movement and helps stable monitoring.
Detection and Display of Measurement Condition
Electrode Detachment
The “ ” LED lights on the transmitter or the “CHECK ELECTRODE” message
is displayed on the screen of the monitor in the following cases.
• Electrode is detached from skin.
• Electrode lead is disconnected from the electrode.
• Polarization voltage between the electrode and skin is excessively high.
In these cases, check the cause and if necessary, replace electrodes with new ones.
CAUTION
When the “ELECTRODE OFF” or “CHECK ELECTRODE” message
is displayed on the receiving monitor, ECG is not monitored properly
and the ECG alarm does not function. Check the electrode, electrode
leads, and if necessary, replace with new ones.
34 Operator’s Manual ZM-920PA/921PA/930PA/931PA
Respiration Monitoring
Respiration is monitored by measuring changes in impedance between the RA
and LL ECG electrodes. This transmitter sends the changes in impedance to the
monitor as a respiration waveform. The monitor displays the respiration waveform
and calculates respiration rate. Refer to the operator’s manual of the monitor for
details.

incorrect data is displayed on the screen.
38 Operator’s Manual ZM-920PA/921PA/930PA/931PA
WARNING
Check the circulation condition by observing the skin color at the
measurement site and pulse waveform. Change the measurement
site every 8 hours for disposable probes and every 4 hours for
reusable probes (every 8 hours for TL-630T/TL-631T series probe).
The skin temperature may increase at the attached site by 2 or 3°C
(4 or 5°F) and cause a burn or pressure necrosis. When using the
probe on the following patients, take extreme care and change the
measurement site more frequently according to symptoms and
degree.
• Patient with a fever
• Patient with peripheral circulation insufficiency
• Neonate or low birth weight infant with delicate skin
• Patient who is receiving photodynamic therapy*
* Photodynamic therapy is a treatment to remove the affected tissue by using a
photosensitizing agent and exposing the tissue to light. This treatment has a side
effectofphotosensitivityandthelightfromthengerprobesensormaycause
a burn. This probe uses two light wavelengths in the range from 650 to 950 nm.
The maximum light intensity is less than 5.5 mW/sr.
CAUTION
Turn off the power of mobile phones, small wireless devices and
other devices which produce strong electromagnetic interference
around a patient (except for devices allowed by the hospital
administrator). Radio waves from devices such as mobile phones or
small wireless devices may be mistaken as pulse waves and the
displayed data may be incorrect.
CAUTION
Normal external light does not affect monitoring but strong light such
as a surgical light or sunlight may affect monitoring. If affected, cover
the measuring site with a blanket.
Operator’s Manual ZM-920PA/921PA/930PA/931PA 39
CAUTION
Do not pull or bend the probe cable, and do not put caster feet on the
probe cable. Do not immerse the probe cable in chemical solutions or
water. Failure to follow these instructions may cause cable
discontinuity, short circuit, skin burn on the patient and incorrect
measurement data. Replace any broken probe with a new one.
CAUTION
When the probe is attached on an appropriate site with sufficient
circulation and the error message confirming the probe attachment
repeatedly appears, the probe may be deteriorated. Replace it with a
new one.
CAUTION
While a patient is on medication which causes vasodilation, the pulse
waveform may change and in rare cases the SpO2 value might not be
displayed.
NOTE

Attaching the Probe to the Patient
For details, refer to the operator’s manual of each probe.
WARNING
• When using the TL-201T finger probe, do not fasten the probe and
cable to the finger by wrapping with tape. This may cause burn,
congestion or pressure necrosis from poor blood circulation.
• When using probes other than the TL-201T finger probe, to avoid
poor circulation, do not wrap the tape too tight. Check the blood
circulation condition by observing the skin color and congestion at
the skin peripheral to the probe attachment site. Even for short-
term monitoring, there may be burn or pressure necrosis from
poor blood circulation, especially on neonates or low birth weight
infants whose skin is delicate. Accurate measurement cannot be
performed on a site with poor peripheral circulation.
WARNING
Check the circulation condition by observing the skin color at the
measurement site and pulse waveform. Change the measurement
site every 8 hours for disposable probes and every 4 hours for
reusable probes (every 8 hours for TL-630T/TL-631T series probe).
The skin temperature may increase at the attached site by 2 or 3°C
(4 or 5°F) and cause a burn or pressure necrosis. When using the
probe on the following patients, take extreme care and change the
measurement site more frequently according to symptoms and
degree.
• Patient with a fever
• Patient with peripheral circulation insufficiency
• Neonate or low birth weight infant with delicate skin
• Patient who is receiving photodynamic therapy*

Recommended Separation Distances between Portable and Mobile
RF Communications Equipment
The ZM-921PA/931PA is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in
which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the
ZM-921PA/931PA can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining
a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
(transmitters) and the ZM-921PA/931PA as recommended below, according to the
maximum output power of the communications.
