anesthetic gas or high concentration oxygen atmosphere. Failure
to follow this warning may cause explosion or fire.
• Never use this transmitter in a high-pressure oxygen medical care
tank. Failure to follow this warning may cause explosion or fire.
• Never take this transmitter into an MRI test room.
• Before performing defibrillation, check that the electrode leads
and SpO2 probe attached to the patient are properly connected to
the transmitter. Touching the metal parts of disconnected leads
and probes may cause serious electrical shock or injury by
discharged energy.
• When performing defibrillation, all persons must keep clear of the
bed and must not touch the patient, the equipment connected to
the patient, nor the metal parts of leads and probes connected to
the patient. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious
electrical burn, shock or other injury.
• When performing defibrillation, discharge as far as possible from
electrodes on the patient. If there is a possibility that the
defibrillator paddle could touch electrodes, remove electrodes
from the patient. If the defibrillator directly contacts the
electrodes, the discharged energy may cause serious electrical
burn to the patient.
• When using this transmitter with an electrosurgery unit, its return
plate and the electrodes for monitoring must be firmly attached to
the patient. If the return plate is not attached correctly, it may burn
the patient’s skin where the electrodes are attached. Refer to the
instruction manual for the ESU.
• Close the battery case cover during operation. If the transmitter is
used with the battery case cover open, the patient may get an
electrical shock when defibrillation is performed, and electrostatic
Operator's Manual ZM-920PA/930PA
discharge by the patient may intermittently interfere with the
waveform or data.
CAUTION
• Use Nihon Kohden specified electrode leads and SpO2 probes to
assure maximum performance from your instrument.
• Do not reuse disposable products.
• Do not shake or swing the transmitter holding the leads/cables
connected to the transmitter. The transmitter may come off and
cause injury to a person or damage surrounding instruments.
• Attach a strap to the transmitter to prevent the transmitter from
falling.
• Turn off the power of cellular telephones, small wireless devices
and other devices which produce strong electromagnetic
interference around a patient. Radio waves from devices such as
cellular telephones or small wireless devices may be mistaken as
pulse waves and incorrect data may be displayed.
• Do not use the same channel for different patients. This could
produce a mutual modulation interference resulting in loss of data
from both patients or the incorrect patient’s data can appear on the
receiving monitor screen.
• Do not use transmitters of adjacent channels in a hospital,
otherwise, radio waves from one transmitter may affect the
receiver of the adjacent channel’s transmitter and can cause
interference.
Operator's Manual ZM-920PA/930PA
Battery
WARNING
• Do not dispose of the battery in fire, or it may explode.
• Do not disassemble the battery. The contents of the battery are
harmful and flammable.
• Never short-circuit the + and − terminals. This can produce
overheating and with its flammable capabilities can produce a fire.
• Make sure that the patient does not touch the batteries.
CAUTION
Battery replacement must be performed by medical staff. When
replacing batteries in the transmitter currently used for a patient,
disconnect electrode leads from the transmitter before replacing
batteries. Do not touch the patient during replacement.
Transmitter Channel Management
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 assignments.
• 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.
Operator's Manual ZM-920PA/930PA
For Patients Using Implantable Pacemaker
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 the 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 distributor or Nihon
Kohden distributor.
Output Signal
CAUTION
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 and spike noise may interfere
with the output signal and be mistaken as a trigger.
Operator's Manual ZM-920PA/930PA
ECG Monitoring
CAUTION
• Use Nihon Kohden specified consumables. With electrodes other
than specified ones, the CHECK ELECTRODE message appears
and monitoring may stop.
• When the “ELECTRODE OFF” or “CHECK ELECTRODE” message
is displayed on the receiving monitor, check electrodes and
electrode leads. While “ELECTRODE OFF” or “CHECK
ELECTRODE” message is being displayed, there is no ECG
monitoring or alarms.
SpO2 Monitoring
WARNING
• Measurement may be incorrect in the following cases.
· When the oxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin (HbCO, Met Hb)
increases abnormally.
· When dye is injected in the blood.
· When using an electrosurgical unit.
· During CPR.
· When measuring at a site where there are venous pulses.
· When there is body movement.
· When the pulse wave is small.
• Check the circulation condition by observing the skin color of the
measuring site and pulse waveform. Change the measuring site
every 8 hours for disposable probes and every 4 hours for
reusable probes. 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.
· A patient with a fever
· A patient with peripheral circulation insufficiency
· Neonate or low birth weight infant with delicate skin
10
Operator's Manual ZM-920PA/930PA
• 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.
• When not monitoring SpO2, disconnect the SpO2 probe cord from
the transmitter. Otherwise, noise may interfere from the probe
sensor and cause incorrect data to be displayed on the transmitter
and receiving monitor.
CAUTION
• Do not pull or bend the probe cable or put caster feet on the probe
cable. Do not immerse the probe cable in detergents or water.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause cable discontinuity,
short circuit, skin burn on the patient or incorrect measurement
data. Replace any broken probe with a new one.
• When the attachment site is wet with blood or when the patient has
nail polish on, remove the dirt and nail polish before attaching the
probe. The transmitted light may decrease due to the blood or nail
polish and the measurement data may be incorrect.
• If the skin gets irritated or redness appears on the skin by the
probe, change the attachment site.
• When the probe is attached to an appropriate site with sufficient
circulation and an error message confirming the probe attachment
repeatedly appears, the probe may be deteriorated. Replace it
with a new one.
• Do not use the probe over its stated lifetime. Otherwise the SpO2
measurement accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
• Use the disposable probe only for one patient. Never reuse the
disposable probe for another patient because it causes cross
infection.
• Do not use damaged or disassembled probe. Measured data may
be incorrect.
Operator's Manual ZM-920PA/930PA
11
• When measuring under strong light (surgical light, bilirubin light,
sunlight, etc.), cover the probe with a blanket or cloth. Otherwise,
noise may interfere.
• When any of the following occurs, the probe may be broken.
Replace it with a new one and check the probe.
• The transmitter generates “pip” sound every 0.25 seconds.
• SpO2 data is 85% and blinking.
Disposable SpO2 Probes
CAUTION
• Replace the probe with a new one as specified in the probe
manual. If the probe is deteriorated, correct SpO2 monitoring
cannot be performed.
• When using a disposable probe, be careful when removing the
adhesive tape from neonatal skin.
• When removing a disposable probe taped to the skin, do not pull
from the cable of the probe because this can damage the probe’s
cable connection.
TL-260T Multi-site Y Probe
CAUTION
• Before use, be sure to attach the probe to the sponge attachment
tape S or L. Do not use the probe without the sponge attachment
tape attached. It causes incorrect measurement and may damage
the attachment site on the skin.
• When fixing the probe with the sponge attachment tape, confirm
that the adhesive part of the tape is not on the skin. The adhesive
may cause oversensitive symptoms on the skin such as redness
or itch. If the adhesive touches the skin, remove it carefully and
slowly because neonatal skin is very delicate.
• Do not use a dirty sponge attachment tape. The measurement
value may be incorrect.
12
Operator's Manual ZM-920PA/930PA
• Do not pull from the cable when removing the probe from the
sponge attachment tape because this can damaged the cable.

Preparation
Installing (Replacing) Batteries
Use two AA type alkaline dry cell batteries, manganese dry cell batteries, NiCd
rechargeable batteries or NiMH batteries.
With new alkaline batteries, the transmitter can continuously measure ECG,
respiration and SpO2 for approximately 3 days or ECG and respiration for
approximately 4 days. Operation time depends on the thickness of SpO2 probe
attachment site.
NOTE
The capacity of manganese, NiCd and NiMH batteries is less than
that of alkaline batteries, therefore the lifetime of the battery is
shorter.
Type
Manganese
NiCd
NiMH
Lifetime
About 1/2 of alkaline batteries
About 1/3 of alkaline batteries (when fully charged)
About 1/2 of alkaline batteries (when fully charged)
CAUTION
Battery replacement must be performed by medical staff. When
replacing batteries in the transmitter currently used for a patient,
disconnect electrode leads from the transmitter before replacing the
batteries. Do not touch the patient during replacement.
If electrode leads are attached to the patient and the person replacing the batteries
touches the patient, the patient leakage current over the amount allowed may
occur.
CAUTION
• Replace both batteries at the same time.
• Do not use different types of batteries together.

ECG Monitoring
When 6 leads are used on this transmitter, up to 8 lead (I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, Va
and Vb) of ECG waveforms can be displayed on the receiving monitor. The heart
rate is also measured. When 3 leads are used, one channel ECG waveform of lead
II can be displayed on the receiving monitor. Refer to the operator’s manual 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
the 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 distributor or Nihon
Kohden distributor.
* 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.

WARNING
When using the transmitter with an ESU, the ESU return plate and
the electrodes for monitoring must be firmly attached to the patient.
If the return plate is not attached correctly, it may burn the patient’s
skin where the electrodes are attached. Refer to the instruction
manual for the ESU.
NOTE
• This transmitter is not protected against noise generated from an
electrosurgery 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.

Connecting the Electrode Lead and Disposable
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 products.
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.

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, check electrodes and electrode
leads and remove the cause. While “ELECTRODE OFF” or “CHECK
ELECTRODE” message is being displayed, there is no ECG
monitoring and no alarms.
Operator's Manual ZM-920PA/930PA

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.

SpO2 Monitoring
The SpO2 monitoring is only available on the ZM-930PA transmitter.
This transmitter sends SpO2 and pulse waveform to the monitor and displays
SpO2 data and pulse level bar graph on the LCD.
Refer to the operator’s manual of the monitor for details.
WARNING
• Measurement may be incorrect in the following cases.
· When the oxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin (HbCO, Met Hb)
increases abnormally.
· When dye is injected in the blood.
· When using an electrosurgical unit.
· During CPR.
· When measuring at a site where there are venous pulses.
· When there is body movement.
· When the pulse wave is small.
• Check the circulation condition by observing the skin color of the
measuring site and pulse waveform. Change the measuring site
every 8 hours for disposable probes and every 4 hours for
reusable probes. 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.
· A patient with a fever
· A patient with peripheral circulation insufficiency
· Neonate or low birth weight infant with delicate skin
• 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
Operator's Manual ZM-920PA/930PA
31
low birth weight infants whose skin is delicate. Accurate
measurement cannot be performed on a site with poor peripheral
circulation.
• When not monitoring SpO2, disconnect the SpO2 probe cord from
the transmitter. Otherwise, noise may interfere from the probe
sensor and cause incorrect data to be displayed on the transmitter
and receiving monitor.
CAUTION
• Do not pull or bend the probe cable or put caster feet on the probe
cable. Do not immerse the probe cable in detergents or water.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause cable discontinuity,
short circuit, skin burn on the patient or incorrect measurement
data. Replace any broken probe with a new one.
• Turn off the power of cellular telephones, small wireless devices
and other devices which produce strong electromagnetic
interference around a patient. Radio waves from devices such as
cellular telephones or small wireless devices may be mistaken as
pulse waves and the displayed data may be incorrect.
NOTE
When monitoring SpO2, monitor ECG at the same time. The ECG
electrode lead works as an antenna for transmitting data from the
transmitter to the receiving monitor. If ECG is not measured, the
telemetry signal may not be received.

Attaching the Probe to the Patient
For details, refer to the operator’s manual of each probe.
WARNING
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
• When the attachment site is wet with blood or when the patient has
nail polish on, remove the dirt and nail polish before attaching the
probe. The transmitted light may decrease due to the blood or nail
polish and the measurement data may be incorrect.
• If the skin gets irritated by the tape or redness appears on the skin
by the probe, change the attachment site.
• 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.
• Do not use the probe over its stated lifetime. Otherwise the SpO2
measurement accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
• Do not use damaged or disassembled probe.
• Replace the probe with a new one as specified in the probe
manual. If the probe is deteriorated, correct SpO2 monitoring
cannot be performed.
• Do not attach the probe to the same limb that is used for NIBP
measurement or an IBP catheter.
• When attached, make sure that the photo emitter and the detector
of the probe face each other. Otherwise, SpO2 cannot be
measured properly.
Operator's Manual ZM-920PA/930PA

• When using a disposable probe, be careful when removing the
adhesive tape from neonatal skin.
• When removing a disposable probe that is taped to the skin, do not
pull the cable part of the probe because this can damage the
probe’s cable connection.
• Before using the TL-260T multi-site Y probe, be sure to attach the
probe to the sponge attachment tape S or L. Do not use the probe
without the sponge attachment tape attached. It causes incorrect
measurement and may damage the attachment site on the skin.
• When fixing the TL-260T multi-site Y probe with the sponge
attachment tape, confirm that the adhesive part of the tape is not
on the skin. The adhesive may cause oversensitive symptoms on
the skin such as redness or itch. If the adhesive touches the skin,
remove it carefully and slowly because neonatal skin is very
delicate.
• Do not use a dirty sponge attachment tape. The measurement
value may be incorrect.
• Do not pull the cable when removing the TL-260T multi-site Y probe
from the sponge attachment tape. Otherwise the cable may get
damaged.
• Refer to the probe instruction manual for details.
Starting Measurement

SpO2 data blinks every 1 second when SpO2 signal stability decreases and the
transmitter cannot detect correct pulse waveform because of patient body
movement, poor attachment condition or poor circulation condition at the probe
attachment site.
CAUTION
SpO2 data blinking every second indicates an unstable pulse
waveform and displayed SpO2 value may be inaccurate. The
displayed data may not reflect sudden SpO2 changes.

Operator's Manual ZM-920PA/930PA
Countermeasure
Install the batteries correctly.
Replace the batteries with new
ones.
Turn off the power, and turn on
the power again.
Set the correct channel on the
monitor.
Connect the electrode lead to the
transmitter. ECG electrode lead
works as an antenna for
transmitting data to the receiving
monitor. If ECG is not measured,
the signal may not be received.
Turn the transmitter power off. If
the monitor still receives a signal,
there is a high probability that
another transmitter of the same
channel is used nearby.
Follow the instruction of your
channel administrator and use
another transmitter of a different
channel.
Follow the instruction of your
channel administrator and use
another transmitter of a different
channel.

Changing the Transmitter Channel
The transmitter channel can be changed by the QI-901PK Channel Writer. To
change the channel number, refer to the channel writer manual.
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 assignments.
• 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.

Lifetime and Disposal
Disposing of Used Batteries
Replacement
When the “ ” LED is lit or the “ ” is displayed on the LCD during operation,
the batteries are running out.
Replace the batteries with new ones. When using rechargeable batteries, recharge
them.
Disposal
Before disposing of the batteries, check with your local solid waste officials for
details in your area for proper disposal. It may be illegal to dispose of these
batteries in the municipal waste stream.
Disposing of Disposable Electrodes
Lifetime
Replace the disposable electrodes with new ones 48 hours after the start of
usage. Otherwise, the gel on the electrode gets dry and adhesive property
decreases. This increases skin electrode contact impedance and causes incorrect
measurement.
Replace the electrodes with new ones even before 48 hours if the contact between
skin and electrode becomes poor.
Disposal
Follow your local laws for disposing of medical waste.
46
Operator's Manual ZM-920PA/930PA
Disposing of the SpO2 Probe
Lifetime
CAUTION
• Do not use the probe over its stated lifetime. Otherwise the SpO2
measurement accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
• 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.
