The transmitter can change channels when connected to the QI-901PK channel writer. The front LCD displays SpO2%, NIBP, pulse rate, pulse waveform amplitude, electrode condition mark, battery condition and NIBP measuring mode and interval. Read the operator’s manual for the receiving monitor together with this manual before operation. CAUTION • Do not use the same channel for different patients. Otherwise, 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. Otherwise, radio waves from one transmitter affect the receiver of the adjacent channel’s transmitter and there may be interference. 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. • NIBP cannot be measured on a neonate. (ECG, respiration and SpO2 can be monitored on a neonate.) Operator's Manual ZS-940PA Panel Description Front Panel LCD: Displays measuring data, settings and other information.

Otherwise, the cuff may not inflate or deflate. If the cuff cannot deflate, it may cause congestion on the patient at the cuff attachment site. YN-990P extension hose, 150 cm Operator's Manual ZS-940PA 25 Reference for selecting a cuff The AHA (American Heart Association) recommends that the cuff width be 40% of the circumference of the upper arm. Refer to the following graph and select the cuff which suits the patient’s arm. NOTE • If a range of arm circumference appropriate for the cuff is prescribed, use a cuff within that range. • To obtain accurate measured values, select a wide cuff which can be attached to the upper arm. Measuring with a very narrow cuff may result in measured values higher than the actual values. • The YP-943P NIBP cuff is for standard size adult. Do not use this cuff when it does not fit the patient.

NOTE Connect the joints properly. If there is an air leak, NIBP cannot be measured properly. 1. Connect the NIBP cuff to the extension hose. 2. Connect the other end of the extension hose to the NIBP socket on the transmitter. Turn the joint clockwise until it clicks. To disconnect the cuff from the transmitter, turn the hose joint counterclockwise. Attaching the NIBP Cuff to the Patient WARNING Be careful when measuring NIBP on a patient with known bleeding disorders or coagulation. After NIBP measurement, there may be dot hemorrhage, or circulatory disorder by thrombus where the cuff was attached. CAUTION • Do not wrap the cuff on an arm or thigh which is used for injection. NIBP measurement on an arm or thigh which is used for injection may cause a reflux of blood and stop injection. • Do not wrap the cuff too tight. It may cause poor blood circulation and congestion. If the cuff is wrapped too loosely, the NIBP value may be increased. • If the skin gets irritated or redness appears on the skin from the cuff, change the attachment site or stop using the cuff. Operator's Manual ZS-940PA 29 • NIBP and SpO2 can be measured on the same limb, but the SpO2 monitoring may not be accurate during NIBP measurement. Be careful when reading the SpO2 values.* • Do not reuse disposable cuffs. * Monitoring SpO2 during NIBP Measurement When the SpO2 probe is attached to the same limb as the NIBP cuff, the blood flow decreases during NIBP measurement and pulse wave cannot be detected and SpO2 cannot be monitored properly. When “INHIBIT SpO2 DURING NIBP” on the PARAMETER SETUP screen is set to ON (factory default setting), SpO2 monitoring is paused during NIBP measurement to avoid SpO2 alarm occurrence. However, when monitoring SpO2 on the same limb as the NIBP, be careful when reading SpO2 values. NOTE • Measuring NIBP at a site other than the upper arm gives different values from those measured at the upper arm. When making diagnosis based on the NIBP values, measure NIBP on an upper arm. • To accurately detect the pulsatile flow of the artery, the cuff should be wrapped around a bare upper arm. • Do not use an abnormal cuff. The cuff deteriorates from use and cleaning. Before use, check the cuff and confirm that there is no flaw, crack or hole in it. Be careful not to damage the inflation bag. If the inflation bag has a hole or a flaw, it may burst during use. Dispose of an abnormal cuff and replace it with a new one. • Refer to the NIBP cuff manual for details. Cuff Position When placing the transmitter on a bed, make sure that the hose is not bent. Place the cuffed upper arm (brachium) at the same height as the patient’s heart. If the cuff is not at the same level as the heart, the weight of the blood affects the blood pressure reading. The pressure difference per unit height is 0.7 mmHg/cm. The blood pressure reading decreases when the arm is higher than the heart and increases when lower. Heart The best measuring condition is when the patient is lying on his/her back with arms and legs relaxed. If the cuff position cannot be on the same level as the heart, the displayed blood pressure reading must be mathematically adjusted. 30 Operator's Manual ZS-940PA Using the YP-943P/944P NIBP Cuff 1. Attach the NIBP cuff to the transmitter. Refer to the “Connecting the NIBP Cuff to the Transmitter” section. 2. Insert the end of the cuff into the belt and then through the D ring as shown at left. 3. Fold back the cuff at the D ring and fasten it using the velcro tape. Belt D ring End of cuff Make sure that the cuff is not attached on a joint. NOTE The cuff must not wrap around the elbow. Operator's Manual ZS-940PA 31 Attaching the Strap to the Transmitter NOTE • Use the strap to prevent the transmitter from falling. • Do not attach the clip to hard objects such as thick cloth or zipper. It will break the clip. Attach a strap provided with the transmitter to the NIBP cuff and patient clothes. To open the clip, firmly pull out the tab in direction of the arrow. To adjust the strap length, push down the tab on the adjuster and slide. Belt for the strap on the NIBP cuff 1. 32 Adjust the length of the strap. 2. Clip one end of the strap to the belt for the strap on the NIBP cuff. 3. Clip the other end of the strap to the patient’s clothes as shown left. Operator's Manual ZS-940PA Using the YP-960T series Reusable Cuffs or YP-910P series Disposable Cuffs ARTERY 1. Put the cuff on the upper arm so that the mark of “ARTERY ” aligns with the artery of the patient. 2. Wrap the cuff so that “INDEX within the “ RANGE ”. ” comes If “Index ” is not within the “ ”, change the cuff size. RANGE RANGE Attaching Electrodes Selecting Electrode Lead CAUTION Use Nihon Kohden specified electrodes and electrode leads. With electrodes and electrode leads other than specified ones, the “CHECK ELECTRODE” message appears and monitoring may stop. The following electrode leads can be used on the transmitter (option). BR-903PA, 3 electrodes, clip type BR-913PA, 3 electrodes, snap type Operator's Manual ZS-940PA BR-902PA, 2 electrodes, clip type BR-912PA, 2 electrodes, snap type 33 Connecting the Electrode Lead to the Transmitter Connect the electrode lead to the ECG/RESP socket on the transmitter. When the transmitter is attached on an arm CAUTION Hold the connector of the electrode lead when connecting/disconnecting the electrode lead. If you disconnect the electrode lead by pulling the lead, it damages the electrode lead. Selecting the Electrode Position Follow the physician’s instructions for electrode placement when available. For ECG monitoring, electrodes are attached only on the chest to allow patient movement and obtain continuous stable ECG. Following leads are examples. When also monitoring respiration, refer to the “Electrode Position for Respiration Monitoring” section. NOTE The optimum electrode positions for ECG measurement of a patient are not always optimum for respiration measurement of the patient. Select positions suitable for both ECG and respiration measurements, or positions which have priority for one measurement. 34 Operator's Manual ZS-940PA Three Electrodes • Lead MII, which is similar to standard lead II, used when ECG measurement has priority Electrode Position Left infraclavicular fossa Right infraclavicular fossa Below lowest rib on the left anterior axillary line • Lead MI, which is similar to standard lead I Change F/LL and L/LA of the lead MII. Symbol AHA IEC LA RA LL Lead Color AHA IEC Black Yellow White Red Red Green • Lead MIII, which is similar to standard lead III. Change R/RA and L/LA of the lead MII. If the electrode position shown above is not available due to chest surgery, attach the electrodes to the root of the limbs or below the clavicles for stable ECG monitoring. Operator's Manual ZS-940PA 35 Two Electrodes With the optional BR-912PA and BR-902PA electrode leads, measurement with two electrodes is available. L/LA electrode is not used. This is effective for a neonate or a patient whose body area is small and difficult to attach three electrodes. (ex.) Lead MII, which is similar to standard lead II Electrode Position Right infraclavicular fossa Below lowest rib on the left anterior axillary line Symbol AHA IEC RA LL Lead Color AHA IEC White Red Red Green Difference between measurement with two electrodes and three electrodes Measurement with two electrodes is less stable than measurement with three electrodes because of noise and body movement. Pay attention to this point. If ECG of necessary quality cannot be obtained, measure with three electrodes. Attaching Electrodes to the Patient and Connecting the Electrode Leads to Disposable Electrodes Prepare 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 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 on sensitive skin. • Do not place electrodes on a wound or on an inflamed, wrinkled or uneven skin surface. 36 Operator's Manual ZS-940PA 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. Operator's Manual ZS-940PA 1. Carefully remove the backing paper from the electrode. Avoid touching the adhesive surface. 2. Place the electrode on the previously cleaned skin. Pay attention to the electrode lead color and symbol. 3. Clip the electrode lead to the electrode. 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. 37 Electrode Position for Respiration Monitoring Place the R/RA and F/LL electrodes so that the lungs are between the electrodes. NOTE The optimum electrode positions for ECG measurement of a patient are not always optimum for respiration measurement of the patient. Select positions suitable for both ECG and respiration measurements, or positions which have priority for one measurement. Electrode Position Examples Position 1 In this position, respiration measurement is available; however, there is a difference in amplitude between different patients. R or RA Right infraclavicular fossa F or LL Fifth intercostal space on the left midclavicular line, V4 Position 2 In this position, the waveform amplitude is usually large and the ECG lead is similar to Lead MII. This position can be generally recommended. R or RA Right infraclavicular fossa F or LL Fifth intercostal space on the left midaxillary line, V6 Position 3 In this position, the respiration waveform is optimum, but the ECG lead is unusual. R or RA Right midaxillary at the horizontal level of V4 38 F or LL Fifth intercostal space on the left midaxillary line, V6 Operator's Manual ZS-940PA Position 4 In this position, the respiration measurement is influenced by the impedance variation of the abdomen, so the cardiac pulse wave included in the respiration wave is reduced. Note that the waveform is inverted in phase compared with the chest movement (the waveform goes down during inspiration). It is difficult to measure the ECG at the same time. R or RA Lowest rib on the right anterior axillary line F or LL Lowest rib on the left anterior axillary line Attaching the SpO2 Probe Selecting the SpO2 Probe Select an appropriate probe for the patient. CAUTION • Use Nihon Kohden specified SpO2 probe to assure maximum performance from your instrument. • Do not use damaged or disassembled probe. It causes incorrect measurement and may hurt the patient. Reusable Probes When using a TL-201T finger probe, choose the appropriate cable length for attachment. Probe Cable Length Patient Attachment site Finger probe TL-201T Adult or children Finger 20 kg or more 0.6 m 1.6 m Multi-site probe TL-220T Operator's Manual ZS-940PA Attachment tape Adult or Infant 3 kg or more Finger or toe Neonate 3 kg or less Instep and sole 39 Disposable Probes CAUTION • Use the disposable probe only for one patient. Never reuse the disposable probe for another patient because it causes cross infection. • Disposable probes are not sterilized.

When the transmitter is attached on an arm CAUTION Hold the connector when connecting/disconnecting the probe. If you disconnect the SpO2 probe by pulling the cable, it damages the cable. Attaching the Probe to the Patient Attach the probe to the patient by referring to the probe’s manual. Make sure that the light emitter and photo detector of the probe face each other at the attachment site. WARNING • When using a TL-201T finger probe, do not fasten it to a finger by wrapping the probe to the site with some tape. It may cause poor blood circulation, congestion, pressure necrosis or burn. • When using probes other than a TL-201T finger probe, 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 shortterm 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. Operator's Manual ZS-940PA 41 • Check the circulation condition by observing the skin color of the measuring site and the 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 a peripheral circulation insufficiency • Neonate or low birth weight infant with delicate skin CAUTION • If the attachment site is dirty with blood, 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 the measured data may be incorrect or measurement cannot be performed. • If the skin gets irritated or redness appears on the skin from the probe, change the attachment site or stop using the probe. • When the probe is attached on an appropriate site with sufficient circulation, but the error message confirming the probe attachment repeatedly appears, the probe may be deteriorated. Replace it with a new one. • Do not use a probe that is deteriorated by aging. Accurate measurement cannot be performed. • When using probes other than a TL-201T finger probe on a neonate, be careful when removing the adhesive tape from neonatal skin. • When removing a probe taped to the skin, do not pull the cable. Otherwise the cable may break. • When removing the probe from the attachment tape, do not pull the sensor cable. Otherwise the cable may get damaged. • 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. • Refer to the probe instruction manual for details. 42 Operator's Manual ZS-940PA Locking the Keys on the Transmitter To prevent the patient from pressing the keys on the transmitter during monitoring, you can lock the NIBP START/STOP and NIBP INTERVAL keys. 1. Press the NIBP INTERVAL key for about 3 seconds. 2. A “pip, pip” sounds and the “LOCK KEYS” message is displayed on the LCD.

Press the NIBP INTERVAL key for about 3 seconds. 2. A “pip, pip” sounds and the keys are unlocked. The “UNLOCK KEYS” message appears and the keys are unlocked. Operator's Manual ZS-940PA 43 Monitoring When preparation is done, monitoring starts. NIBP Oscillometric Method NIBP is measured from the change in amplitude pattern of pulsatile oscillation in cuff pressure as the cuff pressure is reduced from above systolic to below diastolic pressure. The occlusiveoscillometry method uses this to determine the systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure. NIBP Monitoring Selecting the Initial Cuff Inflation Pressure The initial cuff inflation pressure can be changed on the PARAMETER SETUP screen. The default setting is 180 mmHg. To change the setting, refer to the “Changing Parameter Setup Settings” section. Selecting the Measurement Mode and Interval Measurement Modes There are three measurement modes: manual, auto and STAT. The selected mode or interval is displayed at the lower right of the screen. The measurement mode and interval can be changed by pressing the NIBP INTERVAL key. When the key is pressed, the measurement mode changes according to the modes selected at “SELECTABLE INTERVALS” on the PARAMETER SETUP screen. MANUAL mode is already selected for the mode selection. To select the modes for the mode selection, refer to the “Changing Parameter Setup Settings” section. Manual Measurement In Manual mode, a single NIBP measurement is performed when the NIBP START/STOP key is pressed. STAT (Continuous) Measurement In STAT mode, measurement is continuously repeated for 15 minutes after the NIBP START/ STOP key is pressed. When the STAT measurement for 15 minutes is completed, the measurement mode automatically changes to the Manual mode or Auto mode of selected interval depending on the “NIBP MODE 44 Operator's Manual ZS-940PA AFTER STAT” setting on the PARAMETER SETUP screen. The default setting is Manual mode. Refer to the “Changing Parameter Setup Settings” section. The STAT measurement completes within 15 minutes. When more than 12 minutes elapse from the start of measurement, there will be no more measurement performed and the measurement mode changes to the mode selected for “NIBP MODE AFTER STAT” on the PARAMETER SETUP screen. Auto Measurement In Auto mode, measurement is performed automatically at the preset time intervals. In Auto mode, a single measurement can be performed by pressing the NIBP START/STOP key between auto measurements. Measuring NIBP WARNING • Be careful when measuring NIBP on a patient with known bleeding disorders or coagulation. After NIBP measurement, there may be dot hemorrhage, or circulatory disorder by thrombus where cuff is attached. • NIBP measurement may be incorrect in the following cases. • When using an electrical surgery unit. • When there is body movement. • When the pulse wave is small (insufficient peripheral circulation). • Too many arrhythmia. • When there is vibration. • When there is a rapid blood pressure change. • During CPR. • When performing NIBP measurements in STAT mode or 5 minute intervals, periodically remove the cuff from the patient for ventilation. Otherwise, the skin temperature may increase at the cuff attachment site by 2 or 3°C (4 or 5°F). When measuring a patient with a fever or peripheral circulation insufficiency, it may cause a burn. CAUTION When performing NIBP measurement repeatedly, have a rest between measurements to recover adequate circulation. Operator's Manual ZS-940PA 45 NOTE • When measuring patients who are conscious, help the patient to relax. Measurement may not be accurate if the patient’s arm is tense or if the patient talks. • The data for measurement on a leg tends to be higher than measurement on the arm. When making diagnosis based on the NIBP values, measure NIBP on an upper arm. • Do not apply pressure to the cuff or air hose. NIBP may not be measured correctly because of noise or NIBP measurement may stop due to the NIBP safety circuit. • When the transmitter is attached to the patient arm and the NIBP measurement is performed when moving, tell the patient to relax and keep quiet. Otherwise, measurement may be stopped or remeasurement is repeated due to body movement. • If there is an abnormal noise generated during measurement, stop using the transmitter and contact your Nihon Kohden distributor. • Do not measure NIBP of a patient on whom an IABP is being used. Measurement may be incorrect due to the mixing of the patient’s own pulse and IABP pulse. • NIBP cannot be measured on a neonate using this transmitter. 1. Select the measurement mode by pressing the NIBP INTERVAL key. 2. Press the NIBP START/STOP key to perform measurement. 46 Operator's Manual ZS-940PA The cuff is inflated and the inflation pressure is displayed on the screen. Inflation pressure In manual mode: Measurement is performed once. In STAT mode: Measurement is performed repeatedly for 15 minutes. In auto mode: The first measurement is performed when the NIBP START/STOP key is pressed. The second measurement is performed when the current time in the transmitter reaches the selected time interval. To stop measurement during measurement, press the NIBP START/STOP key again. In STAT mode, after completing the STAT measurement, the measurement mode changes to the mode set for “NIBP MODE AFTER STAT” on the PARAMETER SETUP screen. In auto mode, to stop measurement in auto mode, change the mode to manual. To cancel one measurement, press the NIBP START/STOP key during measurement. After the measurement is complete, the measured data is displayed on the screen and is transmitted to the monitor. When SpO2 is not monitored, the pulse rate at the end of NIBP measurement is displayed. During auto mode measurement, the measurement mode can be changed. During the interval, press the NIBP INTERVAL key to change the mode. When “MANUAL” is displayed for more than one second, the measurement in auto mode is stopped. A buzzer can be set to sound at the start and end of NIBP measurement. Refer to the “Changing Parameter Setup Settings” section. Operator's Manual ZS-940PA 47 Data Display After NIBP Measurement When the time set at “OLD NIBP DATA” on the PARAMETER SETUP screen elapses after the last measurement, the NIBP data is dimmed or hidden. Whether to dim or hide the old data can also be selected at “OLD NIBP DATA”. Refer to the “Changing Parameter Setup Settings” section. Monitoring SpO2 during NIBP Measurement When the SpO2 probe is attached to the same limb as the NIBP cuff, the blood flow decreases during NIBP measurement and pulse wave cannot be detected and SpO2 cannot be monitored properly. When “INHIBIT SpO2 DURING NIBP” on the PARAMETER SETUP screen is set to ON (factory default setting), SpO2 monitoring is paused during NIBP measurement to avoid SpO2 alarm occurrence. However, when monitoring SpO2 on the same limb as the NIBP, be careful when reading SpO2 values. ECG and Respiration Monitoring When the electrodes are attached and the ECG leads are connected to the electrodes, heart rate, ECG, respiration rate and respiration waveform appear on the monitor. WARNING Interaction Between Minute Ventilation Rate-Adaptive Pacemakers and Cardiac monitoring and Diagnostic Equipment* The bioelectric impedance measurement sensor of a minute ventilation rateadaptive 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. http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/safety.html 48 Operator's Manual ZS-940PA WARNING When using this 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. CAUTION Turn off the power of cell telephones, small wireless devices and other devices which produce strong electromagnetic interference. Otherwise, the waveforms and measurements are affected by such interference and the displayed data may be incorrect. NOTE • Noise generated from an electrosurgery unit may interfere on an ECG waveform, but will not damage it. • If an electric blanket is used and incorrect heart rate is displayed on the monitor, turn off the pacing spike detection on the monitor. • Turn the pacing spike detection to ON on the monitor when monitoring a pacemaker patient. Pacing pulse is detected by the transmitter and transmitted to the monitor. If the pacing spike detection is turned OFF, QRS and pacemaker spike may not be distinguished and pacemaker failure may not be recognized. Electrode Detachment The “ ” mark is displayed on the LCD of the transmitter or the “CHECK ELECTRODE” message is displayed on the screen of the monitor in the following conditions. • 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 the “ELECTRODE OFF” or “CHECK ELECTRODE” message is being displayed, there is no ECG monitoring and no alarms. Operator's Manual ZS-940PA 49 SpO2 Monitoring When monitoring starts, SpO2 and pulse waveform are sent to the monitor and SpO2, pulse rate and pulse level bar graph are displayed on the transmitter LCD. WARNING • 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 electrical surgery unit. • During CPR. • When there is body movement. • When there is vibration. • When measuring at a site where there are venous pulses. • When the pulse wave is small (insufficient peripheral circulation). • When using an IABP (intra-aortic balloon pump). • 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 • When not monitoring SpO2, disconnect the SpO2 cable from the transmitter. Otherwise, noise may interfere from the probe sensor and incorrect data is displayed on the screen. CAUTION • Turn off the power of cell telephones, small wireless devices and other devices which produce strong electromagnetic interference. Otherwise, the waveforms and measurements are affected by such interference and the displayed data may be incorrect. • Normally external light does not affect monitoring, however, strong light such as an operating lamp or sunlight may affect monitoring. If affected, cover the measuring site with a blanket. • Do not pull or bend the probe cable, and do not run over the probe cable with 50 Operator's Manual ZS-940PA caster feet. 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 and incorrect measurement data. Replace any broken probe with a new one. • 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. • When the probe failure message appears on the screen, replace it with a new one. Otherwise SpO2 data may not be accurate. • While a patient is on medication which causes vasodilation, the pulse waveform may change and in rare cases the SpO2 value may not be displayed. NOTE In order to maintain sufficient blood circulation, keep the measurement site warm by covering it with a blanket or something similar. Warming the site is effective, especially for a patient with a small pulse amplitude. SpO2 and PR Display Order You can select the display order for SpO2 and PR (pulse rate) on the LCD. Refer to the “Changing Parameter Setup Settings” section. Monitoring SpO2 during NIBP Measurement When the SpO2 probe is attached to the same limb as the NIBP cuff, the blood flow decreases during NIBP measurement and pulse wave cannot be detected and SpO2 cannot be monitored properly. When “INHIBIT SpO2 DURING NIBP” on the PARAMETER SETUP screen is set to ON (factory default setting), SpO2 monitoring is paused during NIBP measurement to avoid SpO2 alarm occurrence. However, when monitoring SpO2 on the same limb as NIBP, be careful when reading SpO2 values. When monitoring SpO2 is important, attach the probe to the limb to which the NIBP cuff or catheter is not attached. When SpO2 monitoring is paused during NIBP measurement, the SpO2 value just before the start of NIBP measurement and an mark are displayed on the transmitter for 30 seconds. When NIBP measurement is not completed after 30 seconds, “– – –” is displayed for the SpO2 value. The same data also appears on the monitor screen. Operator's Manual ZS-940PA 51 NOTE • When continuous SpO2 monitoring is necessary, attach the probe to the limb to which the NIBP cuff is not attached and set “INHIBIT SpO2 DURING NIBP” on the PARAMETER SETUP screen to OFF. • When the probe is attached to the same limb as the NIBP cuff, set the sync source to a parameter other than SpO2 on the receiving monitor. • When monitoring SpO2 during STAT NIBP measurement, attach the probe to the limb to which the NIBP cuff is not attached. 52 Operator's Manual ZS-940PA Display and Message List Battery Indication Indication Cause Countermeasure Fully charged battery Batteries are low.
