1 Introduction and Basic Operation
Security Information
Protecting Personal Information
Protecting personal health information is a primary component of a security strategy. Each facility using the
devices must provide the protective means necessary to safeguard personal information consistent with
country laws and regulations, and consistent with the facility’s policies for managing this information.
Protection can only be realized if you implement a comprehensive, multi-layered strategy (including policies,
processes, and technologies) to protect information and systems from external and internal threats.
As per their intended use, the devices operate in the patient vicinity and contain personal and sensitive
patient data. They also include controls to allow you to adapt the devices to the patient's care model.
To ensure the patient's safety and protect their personal health information you need a security concept that
includes:
•
Physical security access measures - access to the devices must be limited to authorized users. It is
essential that you consider physical security measures to ensure that unauthorized users cannot gain
access.
•
Operational security measures - for example, ensuring that devices are powered off after monitoring
in order to remove patient data from the device.
•
Procedural security measures - for example, assigning only staff with a specific role the right to use
the devices.
In addition, any security concept must consider the requirements of local country laws and regulations.
Always consider data security aspects of the network topology and configuration when connecting devices
to shared networks. Your medical facility is responsible for the security of the network, where sensitive
patient data from the monitor may be transferred.
When a device is returned for repair, disposed of, or removed from your medical facility for other reasons,
always ensure that all patient data is removed from the device by powering it off.
NOTE
Log files generated by the devices are used for system troubleshooting and do not contain protected health
data.
About HIPAA Rules
If applicable, your facility’s security strategy should include the standards set forth in the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), introduced by the United States Department of Health
and Human Services. You should consider both the security and the privacy rules and the HITECH Act
when designing policies and procedures. For more information, please visit:
http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/
About the EU Directives
If applicable, your facility’s security strategy should include the practices set forth in the Directive on the
protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such
data (Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995). In addition,
your facility should also take into account any additional applicable regulation or statutory requirement.

Connection with Host Systems
The following sections describe how the IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices work together with
host systems (Patient Monitors, Fetal Monitors, Telemetry Devices / Information Center or
GuardianSoftware).
IntelliVue Cableless Measurements Use Models
With these patient-worn measurement devices you can measure and transmit a patient's vitals regularly or
on an intermittent data collection basis. There are four typical use models:
With a Patient Monitor
The IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices can be used together with an MP5/MP5SC/MP5T, MP2 or
X2 patient monitor (with an SRR interface). They can communicate their measurement values via short
range radio to the monitor. The monitor may be assigned to a patient sector at the IntelliVue Information
Center (IIC). When assigned to the Information Center, certain actions can be performed at both the
patient monitor and the Information Center. See the table “Controls Available with a Patient Monitor” on
page 25.
In situations where patients are becoming more mobile (for example, in step-down/intermediate care units)
the lightweight Cableless Measurement Devices allow increased mobility within the short range radio range,
without giving up vital signs monitoring.
When assigned to a patient monitor, the Cableless Measurement Device can be selected for use in patient
transport at the patient monitor (for details see the Patient Monitor Instructions for Use). In this case, the
Cableless Measurement Device will perform local attended monitoring. The patient must be attended by
a caregiver during transport, to ensure that alarms on the Cableless Measurement Device are recognized. In
local attended monitoring mode, an alarm message text appears in the alarm status area at the top of the
screen indicating the source of the alarm and an alarm tone is issued. See “Alarms” on page 34 for details.
A telemetry device can be assigned to a patient monitor equipped with short range radio at the same time as
any Cableless Measurement Devices are also assigned to this monitor.
When assigned to a patient monitor, the admitted patient name is displayed on the SpO2 Pod.
If the connection between the monitor and the Cableless Measurement Device is lost, an INOP will be
displayed at the monitor: cl SpO₂ Disconnect. A No Host Monitoring INOP will be displayed on the SpO2
Pod, and an INOP tone will sound. In this case, visual and audible alarms are still available at the SpO2 Pod,
but it is not possible to change the alarm settings.
With a Fetal Monitor
In combination with an Avalon CL Transducer System, the IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod can be used together
with an Avalon FM 20-50 Fetal Monitor. The SpO2 Pods are assigned to the fetal monitor by docking them
at the Avalon CL Base Station. For information about Avalon Fetal Monitors, the Avalon CL Transducer
System and the Avalon CL Base Station, please refer to the Avalon Fetal Monitor Instructions for Use.
With a Telemetry Device
The Cableless Measurement Devices can be assigned to a patient with the telemetry device TRx4841A/
TRx4851A or an MX40 wearable patient monitor. They can communicate their measurement values via
short range radio to the telemetry device which communicates them to an IntelliVue Information Center to
provide a consolidated set of patient values.
Some of the measurement tasks can be performed remotely from the Information Center. See the table
“Controls Available with a Telemetry Device” on page 26.
If the patient name is available at the Information Center, it will be also displayed on the SpO2 Pod.
20
2 IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod
When a Cableless Measurement Device is assigned to a telemetry device, it is not possible for the telemetry
device to be wirelessly assigned or directly connected to a patient monitor.
If the connection between the telemetry device and the Cableless Measurement Device is lost, an INOP will
be displayed at the Information Center: cl SpO₂ Disconnect. A No System Monitor. INOP will be displayed
on the SpO2 Pod, and an INOP tone will sound.
With IntelliVue GuardianSoftware
The Cableless Measurement Devices can be used together with IntelliVue GuardianSoftware.
GuardianSoftware collects non-continuous vital signs data that are transmitted via a Transmitter, Hotspot
or MP5 from the Cableless Measurement Devices. Using the collected data, it provides trending, review,
reporting and notification. The Guardian Early Warning Scoring (Guardian EWS) application provides
basic assessment guidance, helping you to recognize the early signs of deterioration in your patients.
GuardianSoftware is not intended for monitoring in combination with Cableless Measurement Devices.
Some of the measurement tasks can be performed remotely from GuardianSoftware. See the table
“Controls Available with GuardianSoftware” on page 27. GuardianSoftware also manages the patient data.
If the connection between GuardianSoftware and the Cableless Measurement Device is lost, the connection
symbol will be displayed gray at GuardianSoftware. A No System INOP will be displayed on the SpO2 Pod
(no alarm sound).
If a patient name is available at GuardianSoftware, it will be also displayed on the Pod. Any update of
patient data will be synchronized between the Pods and GuardianSoftware. The only patient management
action available directly at the Pod is Free Device. Selecting Free Device removes the current patient from
the Pod and resets the Pod to the default profile. The Pod is unassigned.

Availability of Patient Alarms
When the IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod is used alone, without an assignment to a monitor or telemetry device,
no patient alarms will be generated.
When the IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod is assigned to a patient monitor or telemetry device and a short range
radio connection exists, alarms may be announced at the patient monitor or the Information Center.
•
When assigned to a patient monitor / fetal monitor: Alarm messages will be displayed and audible
alarm indicators sounded at the monitor in the same way and under the same conditions as for its own
measurements. See the Instructions for Use of the patient monitor for details.
If a Cableless Measurement Device that is assigned to a patient monitor is selected for use in patient
transport at the patient monitor, the Cableless Measurement Device will perform local attended
monitoring. See the Instructions for Use of the patient monitor for details on how to do this. The
patient must be attended by a caregiver during transport, to ensure that alarms on the Cableless
Measurement Device are recognized. In local attended monitoring mode, an alarm message text

•
When assigned to a telemetry device: Measurement values sent via the telemetry device to the
IntelliVue Information Center can generate alarms at the Information Center when the values meet the
criteria set there for alarms. The alarms will be announced in the same way as measurements from other
sources. See the Instructions for Use of the Information Center for details.
•
When assigned to GuardianSoftware: Measurement values sent via transmitter, hotspot or MP5 to
IntelliVue GuardianSoftware will be visualized in GuardianSoftware. Since IntelliVue GuardianSoftware
is a data management system, no alarms are announced. The IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices
will also not generate physiological alarms when connected to IntelliVue GuardianSoftware. See the
Instructions for Use of GuardianSoftware.
Assigning an IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Device to a Host
When an IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod is used with a host system (patient monitor, telemetry device or
GuardianSoftware), the Pod must be assigned to that host system.
The assignment can be done at the CL SpO2 Pod itself or at the host system (patient monitor or
GuardianSoftware).
WARNING
Always make sure that the applied CL SpO2 Pod is assigned to the correct patient.
WARNING
Short Range Radio connections are subject to interruption due to interference from other radio sources in
the vicinity, including microwaves, bluetooth devices, WLAN devices (802.11b,g,n) and cordless phones.
Depending on the strength and duration of the interference, the interruption may occur for an extended
period. A loss of connection, due to moving out-of-range, interference, or for other reasons, is indicated
with a No Host Monitoring INOP on the SpO2 Pod, or a cl SpO₂ Disconnect INOP at the host monitor.
Correct channel configuration is important, refer to the Configuration Guide for details.

Devices are able to collect data in a local memory. These data can be uploaded to GuardianSoftware, but
not to other host systems, when a connection is established at a later stage.
27
2 IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod
Monitoring SpO2
Philips pulse oximetry uses a motion-tolerant signal processing algorithm, based on Fourier artifact
suppression technology (FAST). A sensor is used that transmits light of two different wavelengths through
the tissue of the patient. The measurement principle of pulse oximetry is based on the specific absorption
characteristics of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin and the pulsating arteriolar vascular bed at the
measurement site. It provides four measurements:
•
Oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO2) - percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin in relation to the
sum of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin (functional arterial oxygen saturation).
•
Pleth waveform - auto-scaled visual indication of patient's pulse which is not directly proportional to
the pulse volume (only on patient monitor, GuardianSoftware or Information Center, if assigned).
•
Pulse rate (derived from pleth wave) - detected pulsations per minute.
•
Perfusion indicator - numerical value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by arterial
pulsation (only on patient monitor, if assigned).
NOTE
No alarms are generated for SpO2 and Pulse when measuring SpO2 with the SpO2 Pod not assigned to a
patient monitor or telemetry device.
The SpO2 measurement is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgery and during the discharge of a
cardiac defibrillator according to IEC 80601-2-30.
SpO2 Sensors
Specialized SpO2 Sensors are available for use with the IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod. See the “IntelliVue CL
SpO2 Pod Accessories” section for details.
Familiarize yourself with the Instructions for Use supplied with your sensor before using it. In particular,
check that the sensor being used is appropriate for your patient category and application site.

Connecting SpO2 Sensors
Connect the sensor to the single patient Mobile CL SpO2 Cradle (if not already connected).
Insert the SpO2 Pod into the Mobile CL SpO2 Cradle. The correct orientation is indicated by a
matching blue dot inside the cradle.
CAUTION
Make sure that the contacts of the SpO2 Pod and the sensor are dry and free of residues.
Secure the cradle on the patient's arm using the wristband.
a.
Feed the free end of the wristband through the slot in the cradle, starting from the underside of the
cradle.
b.
Slide the wristband onto the patient's arm and pull the free end until the wristband fits snugly.
c.
Close the wristband using the Velcro patch on the free end of the band.
29
2 IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod
Removing the Pod from the Cradle
To remove the SpO2 Pod from the cradle, pull on the Pod at the opening in the cradle, while holding the
cradle in place on the patient's arm.
Applying the Sensor
Choose a finger of the patient that matches the sensor dimension in a way that the sensor optical
components are properly aligned and the sensor is neither too loose nor applies too much pressure to
the finger. For small pediatric patients consider the thumb.
Remove colored nail polish from the application site.
Apply the sensor to the patient. The application site should match the sensor size so that the sensor can
neither fall off, nor apply excessive pressure. See the sections below for details on applying the different
sensors.
Check that the light emitter and the photodetector are directly opposite each other. All light from the
emitter must pass through the patient's tissue.
WARNING
Proper Sensor Fit: If a sensor is too loose, it might compromise the optical alignment or fall off. If it is too
tight, for example because the application site is too large or becomes too large due to edema, excessive
pressure may be applied. This can result in venous congestion distal from the application site, leading to
interstitial edema, hypoxemia and tissue malnutrition. Skin irritations or lacerations may occur as a result of
the sensor being attached to one location for too long. To avoid skin irritations and lacerations, periodically
inspect the sensor application site and change the application site regularly.
Venous Pulsation: Do not apply sensor too tightly as this results in venous pulsation which may severely
obstruct circulation and lead to inaccurate measurements.
Ambient Temperature: At elevated ambient temperatures be careful with measurement sites that are not
well perfused, because this can cause severe burns after prolonged application. All listed sensors operate
without risk of exceeding 41°C on the skin if the initial skin temperature does not exceed 35°C.
Extremities to Avoid: Avoid placing the sensor on extremities with an arterial catheter, an NBP cuff or an
intravascular venous infusion line.
30
2 IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod
Measuring SpO2
During measurement, ensure that the application site:
–
–
has a pulsatile flow, ideally with a perfusion indicator value above 1.0 or, if the perfusion indicator is
not available, with signal quality indicator of at least medium.
has not changed in its thickness (for example, due to edema), causing an improper fit of the sensor.
WARNING
•
If not specified otherwise in the SpO2 sensor's instructions for use, the following applies:
– For fully conscious pediatric or adult patients, who have a normal function of perfusion and
sensory perception at the measurement site:
–
To ensure skin quality and correct optical alignment of the sensor, inspect the application site when
the measurement results are suspicious or when the patient complains about pressure at the
application site, but at least every 24 hours. Correct the sensor alignment if necessary. Move the
sensor to another site, if the skin quality changes.
For all other patients:
Inspect the application site every two to three hours to ensure skin quality and correct optical
alignment. Correct the sensor alignment if necessary. If the skin quality changes, move the sensor
to another site.
Change the application site at least every four hours.
•
Injected dyes such as methylene blue, or intravascular dyshemoglobins such as methemoglobin and
carboxyhemoglobin may lead to inaccurate measurements.
•
Inaccurate measurements may result when the application site for the sensor is deeply pigmented or
deeply colored, for example, with nail polish, artificial nails, dye or pigmented cream.
•
Interference can be caused by:
– High levels of ambient light (including IR warmers) or strobe lights or flashing lights (such as fire
alarm lamps). (Hint: cover application site with opaque material.)
– Another SpO2 sensor in close proximity (e.g. when more than one SpO2 measurement is
performed on the same patient). Always cover both sensors with opaque material to reduce crossinterference.
– Electromagnetic interference, especially at perfusion indicator values below 1.0 or signal quality
indicator below medium.
– Excessive patient movement and vibration.
Selecting Measurement Modes
There are three different modes available for making SpO2 measurements:
•
Continuous mode - SpO2 is measured continuously until the measurement is switched off.
•
Manual mode - a single SpO2 measurement is made when the Start SpO₂ SmartKey or the Start SpO₂
menu item is selected. One set of values is then displayed with the time the measurement was made.
•
Automatic mode - a series of measurements is made with an interval between them. The interval is
selected using the Repeat Time SmartKey or the Repeat menu item. The measurement starts
automatically when automatic mode is selected.
The values measured in manual mode or automatic mode will be displayed for a configurable time span.
After that the values are regarded as invalid and are no longer displayed. Battery power usage will be
appreciably higher when measuring in continuous mode, in comparison to manual or automatic mode,
resulting in a reduced battery runtime.
31
2 IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod
Starting and Stopping Measurements
Use the setup menu or SmartKeys to start measurements manually:
Action to be Performed

When manual measurements are made, there will be no continuous SpO2 monitoring or alarming. The
manual measurement value reflects a momentary status. The numerics from SpO2 measurements made in
manual mode will remain for a time on the main screen. They are annotated with the time that the
measurement was made to distinguish them from continuously measured values.

32
SpO2 Quality Indicator
2 IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod
Assessing a Suspicious SpO2 Reading
Traditionally, pulse rate from SpO2 was compared with heart rate from ECG to confirm the validity of the
SpO2 reading. With newer algorithms, such as FAST-SpO2, this is no longer a valid criteria because the
correct calculation of SpO2 is not directly linked to the correct detection of each pulse.
When pulse rate is very low, or strong arrhythmia is present, the SpO2 pulse rate may differ from the heart
rate calculated from ECG but this does not indicate an inaccurate SpO2 value.
If you doubt the measured SpO2, use the signal quality indicator (if available) or, when used with a patient
monitor, the pleth wave and perfusion indicator on the monitor to assess the signal quality.
WARNING
With pulse oximetry, sensor movement, ambient light (especially strobe lights or flashing lights) or
electromagnetic interference can give unexpected intermittent readings when the sensor is not attached.
Especially bandage-type sensor designs are sensitive to minimal sensor movement that might occur when
the sensor is dangling.
Changing the Averaging Time
Depending on the monitor configuration, you may be able to change the averaging time for the SpO2
values.
The averaging time represents the approximate time period used for the calculation. The exact averaging
time also depends on the signal conditions. The longer the averaging time, the longer the time needed until
the SpO2 values reflect the physiological event. The same averaging is applied to all numerical values: SpO2,
pulse rate and perfusion (only available at the patient monitor). Fast averaging is useful for situations where
an extremely fast measurement is required or few artifacts are expected. Use slow averaging where you
expect the number of artifacts to be relatively high.
In the SpO₂ menu, select Average.
Select the required averaging time from the list.
Perfusion Numeric (only available on the Patient Monitor)
The perfusion numeric (Perf) gives a value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by the
pulsating arterial blood flow.
You can also use the perfusion numeric as a quality indicator for the SpO2 measurement. Above 1 is
optimal, between 0.3-1 is acceptable. Below 0.3 is marginal; reposition the sensor or find a better site.
33
2 IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod
Alarms
The IntelliVue Cableless Measurements have two different types of alarm: patient alarms and technical
alarms (INOPs).
Patient Alarms
Patient Alarms are high priority alarms (such as a potentially life threatening situation), also called red
alarms, or medium priority alarms, also called yellow alarms.
Technical Alarms (INOPs)
Technical alarms, also known as INOPs, indicate that the measuring device cannot measure reliably. If an
INOP interrupts monitoring, there will be a question mark in place of the measurement numeric. An INOP
tone sounds at the Cableless Measurement Device only when there is no SRR connection to a host.
Exception: the Battery empty INOP tone sounds also with SRR connection.
Most INOPs are low priority, however there are a small number of INOPs which, due to their severity, are
medium or high priority.
Alarm Delays
There is a delay between a physiological event at the measurement site and the corresponding alarm
indication at the Cableless Measurement Device. This delay has two components:
•
The general measurement delay time is the time between the occurrence of the physiological event and
when this event is represented by the displayed numerical values. This delay depends on the algorithmic
processing.
•
The time between the displayed numerical values crossing an alarm limit and the alarm indication on
the device is the system alarm delay. The system alarm delay is the processing time the system needs for
any alarm on the Cableless Measurement Device to be indicated after the measurement has triggered
the alarm. This delay depends on the Cableless Measurement Device and the connected host system.
See the performance specifications in the chapter “IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod Specifications” on
page 133 for the system alarm delay specification of the Cableless Measurement Device.
The alarm delay configured for a specific measurement is normally a fixed time.
Multiple Alarms
If more than one alarm is active, the alarm messages are shown in the alarm status area in succession. An
arrow symbol next to the alarm message informs you that more than one message is active.
The Cableless Measurement Device sounds an audible indicator for the highest priority alarm. If more than
one alarm condition is active in the same measurement, the Cableless Measurement Device announces the
most severe.
NOTE
If you want to use local attended monitoring, make sure to have all Cableless Measurement Devices
upgraded to at least Rev. B.02.

2 IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod
Alarm Message
Alarm messages are displayed in black on a light gray background in the alarm status area at the top of the
screen indicating the source of the alarm and coded according to their severity. If more than one
measurement is in an alarm condition, the message changes every few seconds, and has an arrow ( ) at the
side. The asterisk symbols (*) beside the alarm message match the alarm priority: *** for red alarms, ** for
yellow alarms. Standard INOPs do not have a symbol, red and yellow INOPs have exclamation marks
beside the alarm message: !!! for red INOPs and !! for yellow INOPs.
An alarm message that appears is automatically highlighted. Use the  key to silence the message. A Silence
message is displayed at the bottom of the screen and highlighted. Press  again to confirm the
acknowledgment of the alarm. After the confirmation, any ongoing alarm message is displayed in the icon
tray of the screen.
Alarm States
Depending on the alarm state of your Cableless Measurement Device, the following icons may be displayed
on the device:
Icon
Description
No local alarming on Cableless Measurement Device. The device is connected
to a host monitor or telemetry device and has no visual or audible patient alarm
indicators. The device will only display INOP messages.
Alarms are switched off.
Alarm volume is set to 0.
Audible Alarm Indicators
Audible alarm indicator patterns are repeated until you acknowledge the alarm by switching it off or pausing
it, or until the alarm condition ceases (if audible alarm indication is set to non-latching).
Cableless Measurements Devices alone (without host, e.g. a patient monitor) are not suitable for unattended
monitoring due to their limited alarm volume.
WARNING
•
Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm
volume to a low level or off during patient monitoring may result in patient danger. Remember that the
most reliable method of patient monitoring combines close personal surveillance with correct
operation of monitoring equipment.
•
No patient alarms are available on the Cableless Measurement Devices when connected to a host
monitor (unless they are selected for use in patient transport at the monitor they are assigned to) or to
GuardianSoftware.
•
When connected to a host monitor or GuardianSoftware, no alarm tones are available on the Cableless

Select the Alarms SmartKey or Main Setup SmartKey, followed by Alarms.
Select Alarm Messages.
Setting the Volume of the Alarm Tone
To set the volume for the Alarm tone,
Select the Alarms SmartKey or Main Setup SmartKey, followed by Alarms.
Select AlarmVol and select a volume setting. The maximum is 10 and the minimum depends on your
configuration.
If the volume of the Alarm tone is set to zero, the following symbol is displayed on the right icon tray of the
Cableless Measurement Device screen:
NOTE
No Alarm tone will sound at the device as long as it is within the SRR range.
Minimum Volume for No Host Monitoring INOP
If your device is connected to a host monitor, and the connection is interrupted, the INOP message No
Host Monitoring will appear within 30 seconds, accompanied by an INOP tone. To help ensure that this
INOP, and any other active alarm, is not overlooked, the INOP and alarm tones may be configured to have
a minimum volume. In this case, INOP and alarm tones will sound even if the device alarm volume is set to
zero.
36
2 IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod
Alarm Reminder
If Reminder is configured on your device, you will get an audible reminder of alarm conditions that remain
active after you have silenced the alarm. This reminder may take the form of a repetition of the alarm tone
for a limited time, or an unlimited repetition of the alarm tone (this is the same as a new alarm). Alarm
Reminder is not available for standard, light blue INOPs but for yellow and red INOPs.
In Configuration Mode, you can set the interval between silencing the alarm and sounding the reminder
tone to one, two, or three minutes.
Pausing or Switching Off Alarms
If you want to temporarily prevent alarms from sounding, for example while you are moving a patient, you
can pause alarms. Depending on your device configuration, alarms are paused for one, two, or three
minutes, or infinitely. Infinite alarm pause is equivalent to switching the alarms off.
To view the alarm pause setting chosen for your unit,
In the SmartKeys Menu select Main Setup, Alarms, then OffDurat.
Check the setting.
This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.
To Pause or Switch Off Alarms
Select the
key in the SmartKeys Menu followed by Alarms. Press the  hardkey to switch to
Paused. If your device is configured to infinite pause time, selecting this option switches alarms off.
Restarting Paused Alarms
To manually switch on alarm indication again after a pause, select the key
again.
Alarm indication starts again automatically after the pause period expires. If the device is configured to stay
paused infinitely, you must select
again to restart alarm indication.
37
2 IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod
Alarm Limits
The alarm limits you set determine the conditions that trigger yellow and red limit alarms. For SpO2, where
the value ranges from 100 to 0, setting the high alarm limit to 100 switches the high alarm off. In these
cases, the alarms off symbol is not displayed.
WARNING
Be aware that the devices in your care area may each have different alarm settings, to suit different patients.
Always check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient before you start monitoring.
Adjusting the Alarm Limits
Select the Alarms SmartKey followed by Alarm Limits (or select Main Setup followed by SpO₂):
Select High Lim then choose the high alarm limit.
Select Low Lim then choose the low alarm limit.
WARNING
High oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to retrolental fibroplasia. If this is a consideration do
NOT set the high alarm limit to 100%, which is equivalent to switching the high alarm off.
Adjusting the Desat Limit Alarm
The Desat alarm is a high priority (red) alarm notifying you of potentially life threatening drops in oxygen
saturation.
In the SpO₂ menu, select DesatLim.
Adjust the limit.
Setting Up Tone Modulation
Only when the Cableless Measurement Device is not connected to a host:
If tone modulation is on, the pulse tone pitch lowers when the SpO2 level drops.
Select Main Setup followed by User Interface. In this menu, select Tone Modulation to switch between Yes
(for on) and No (for off).
NOTE
If the SpO2 level drops below 52%, two short tones will be issued rather than one long tone.
Latching Alarms
The alarm latching setting for your device defines how the alarm indicators behave when you do not
acknowledge them. When alarms are set to non-latching, their indicators end when the alarm condition
ends. Switching alarm latching on means that visual and/or audible alarm indications are still displayed or
announced by the device after the alarm condition ends. The indication lasts until you acknowledge the
alarm.

Testing Alarms
When you switch the CL SpO2 Pod on, a selftest is started. You must check that the backlight switches on,
and that you hear a single tone. This indicates that the alarm indicators are functioning correctly. For further
testing of individual measurement alarms, perform the measurement on yourself or use a simulator. Adjust
alarm limits and check that appropriate alarm behavior is observed.
Alarm Behavior at Power On
If the device is switched off (Standby), all alarm settings are maintained. If the device is switched off
completely (Power Off), or the battery is completely empty, resulting in complete power loss, all alarm
settings will be lost unless they were actively saved by storing the active profile before the device was
switched off. See “Switching the Device Off” on page 17 and “Using Profiles” on page 18 for details.
When the device is switched back on from either state, it will start in Profile A and you may have to switch
to the desired profile which contains your alarm settings.
After any of these situations, you should check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient and
monitoring situation, and if necessary, select the correct profile and patient category.

Local Attended Monitoring
When working with an IntelliVue MP5, MP5SC, MP5T Patient Monitor with software revision J.2 or higher
as a host, or with an IntelliVue X2 Multi-Measurement Module with software revision K.2 or higher, the
IntelliVue CL SpO2 and NBP Pods can be used for local attended monitoring. This is for situations where
you want to have alarm indications at the CL Pods when they are out of reach of the patient monitor
(disconnected). The patient monitor setting to switch CL Measurement Alarms on and off (cl Alarms On/
Off) is used to enable and disable this functionality. As a default, the CL Measurement Alarms are on.
Local Attended Monitoring Enabled
By default, the patient monitor is set to receive alarms from the CL Pods (can only be changed in
configuration mode). This scenario is used for patients who require uninterrupted monitoring. The various
alarms from the CL Pods are indicated at the patient monitor if they are enabled at the monitor. When the
CL Pod is disconnected from the patient monitor and the caregiver has activated the transport mode at the
monitor, physiological alarms are indicated locally at the CL Pod. A cl SpO₂ Disconnect INOP is shown at
the monitor if the SRR connection is lost and the transport mode has not been activated.

Connection with Host Systems
The following sections describe how the IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices work together with
host systems (Patient Monitors, Fetal Monitors, Telemetry Devices / Information Center or
GuardianSoftware).
IntelliVue Cableless Measurements Use Models
With these patient-worn measurement devices you can measure and transmit a patient's vitals regularly or
on an intermittent data collection basis. There are four typical use models:
With a Patient Monitor
The IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices can be used together with an MP5/MP5SC/MP5T, MP2 or
X2 patient monitor (with an SRR interface). They can communicate their measurement values via short
range radio to the monitor. The monitor may be assigned to a patient sector at the IntelliVue Information
Center (IIC). When assigned to the Information Center, certain actions can be performed at both the
patient monitor and the Information Center. See the table “Controls Available with a Patient Monitor” on
page 67.
In situations where patients are becoming more mobile (for example, in step-down/intermediate care units)
the lightweight Cableless Measurement Devices allow increased mobility within the short range radio range,
without giving up vital signs monitoring.
When assigned to a patient monitor, the Cableless Measurement Device can be selected for use in patient
transport at the patient monitor (for details see the Patient Monitor Instructions for Use). In this case, the
Cableless Measurement Device will perform local attended monitoring. The patient must be attended by
a caregiver during transport, to ensure that alarms on the Cableless Measurement Device are recognized. In
local attended monitoring mode, an alarm message text appears in the alarm status area at the top of the
screen indicating the source of the alarm and an alarm tone is issued. See “Alarms” on page 34 for details.
A telemetry device can be assigned to a patient monitor equipped with short range radio at the same time as
any Cableless Measurement Devices are also assigned to this monitor.
When assigned to a patient monitor, the admitted patient name is displayed on the NBP Pod.
If the connection between the monitor and the Cableless Measurement Device is lost, an INOP will be
displayed at the monitor: cl NBP Disconnect. A No Host Monitoring INOP will be displayed on the NBP
Pod, and an INOP tone will sound. In this case, visual and audible alarms are still available at the NBP Pod,
but it is not possible to change the alarm settings.
With a Fetal Monitor
In combination with an Avalon CL Transducer System, the IntelliVue CL NBP Pod can be used together
with an Avalon FM 20-50 Fetal Monitor. The NBP Pods are assigned to the fetal monitor by docking them
at the Avalon CL Base Station. For information about Avalon Fetal Monitors, the Avalon CL Transducer
System and the Avalon CL Base Station, please refer to the Avalon Fetal Monitor Instructions for Use.
With a Telemetry Device
The Cableless Measurement Devices can be assigned to a patient with the telemetry device TRx4841A/
TRx4851A or an MX40 wearable patient monitor. They can communicate their measurement values via
short range radio to the telemetry device which communicates them to an IntelliVue Information Center to
provide a consolidated set of patient values.
Some of the measurement tasks can be performed remotely from the Information Center. See the table
“Controls Available with a Telemetry Device” on page 68.
If the patient name is available at the Information Center, it will be also displayed on the NBP Pod.
62
3 IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
When a Cableless Measurement Device is assigned to a telemetry device, it is not possible for the telemetry
device to be wirelessly assigned or directly connected to a patient monitor.
If the connection between the telemetry device and the Cableless Measurement Device is lost, an INOP will
be displayed at the Information Center: cl NBP Disconnect. A No System Monitor. INOP will be displayed
on the NBP Pod, and an INOP tone will sound.
With IntelliVue GuardianSoftware
The Cableless Measurement Devices can be used together with IntelliVue GuardianSoftware.
GuardianSoftware collects non-continuous vital signs data that are transmitted via a Transmitter, Hotspot
or MP5 from the Cableless Measurement Devices. Using the collected data, it provides trending, review,
reporting and notification. The Guardian Early Warning Scoring (Guardian EWS) application provides
basic assessment guidance, helping you to recognize the early signs of deterioration in your patients.
GuardianSoftware is not intended for monitoring in combination with Cableless Measurement Devices.
Some of the measurement tasks can be performed remotely from GuardianSoftware. See the table
“Controls Available with GuardianSoftware” on page 68. GuardianSoftware also manages the patient data.
If the connection between GuardianSoftware and the Cableless Measurement Device is lost, the connection
symbol will be displayed gray at GuardianSoftware. A No System INOP will be displayed on the NBP Pod
(no alarm sound).
If a patient name is available at GuardianSoftware, it will be also displayed on the Pod. Any update of
patient data will be synchronized between the Pods and GuardianSoftware. The only patient management
action available directly at the Pod is Free Device. Selecting Free Device removes the current patient from
the Pod and resets the Pod to the default profile. The Pod is unassigned.
Device Compatibility
The IntelliVue CL NBP Pods require the following software levels in the associated equipment:
•
IntelliVue Patient Monitor - Release H.0 or above
•
Avalon Fetal Monitor in combination with an Avalon CL Transducer System - Release J.3 or above
•
IntelliVue Information Center - Release M or above

Availability of Patient Alarms
When the IntelliVue CL NBP Pod is used alone, without an assignment to a monitor or telemetry device no
patient alarms will be generated.
When the IntelliVue CL NBP Pod is assigned to a patient monitor or telemetry device and a short range
radio connection exists, alarms may be announced at the patient monitor or the Information Center.
•
When assigned to a patient monitor / fetal monitor: Alarm messages will be displayed and audible
alarm indicators sounded at the monitor in the same way and under the same conditions as for its own
measurements. See the Instructions for Use of the patient monitor for details.
If a Cableless Measurement Device that is assigned to a patient monitor is selected for use in patient
transport at the patient monitor, the Cableless Measurement Device will perform local attended
monitoring. See the Instructions for Use of the patient monitor for details on how to do this. The
patient must be attended by a caregiver during transport, to ensure that alarms on the Cableless
Measurement Device are recognized. In local attended monitoring mode, an alarm message text
appears in the alarm status area at the top of the screen indicating the source of the alarm and an alarm
tone is issued. See “Alarms” on page 34 for details.
63
3 IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
•
When assigned to a telemetry device: Measurement values sent via the telemetry device to the
IntelliVue Information Center can generate alarms at the Information Center when the values meet the
criteria set there for alarms. The alarms will be announced in the same way as measurements from other
sources. See the Instructions for Use of the Information Center for details.
•
When assigned to GuardianSoftware: Measurement values sent via transmitter, hotspot or MP5 to
IntelliVue GuardianSoftware will be visualized in GuardianSoftware. Since IntelliVue GuardianSoftware
is a data management system, no alarms are announced. The IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices
will also not generate physiological alarms when connected to IntelliVue GuardianSoftware. See the
Instructions for Use of GuardianSoftware.
Assigning an IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Device to a Host
When an IntelliVue CL NBP Pod is used with a host system (patient monitor, telemetry device or
GuardianSoftware), the Cableless Measurement Device must be assigned to that host system.
The assignment can be done at the CL NBP Pod itself or at the host system (patient monitor or
GuardianSoftware).
WARNING
Always make sure that the applied CL NBP Pod is assigned to the correct patient.
WARNING
Short Range Radio connections are subject to interruption due to interference from other radio sources in
the vicinity, including microwaves, bluetooth devices, WLAN devices (802.11b,g,n) and cordless phones.
Depending on the strength and duration of the interference, the interruption may occur for an extended
period. A loss of connection, due to moving out-of-range, interference, or for other reasons, is indicated
with a No Host Monitoring INOP on the NBP Pod, or a cl NBP Disconnect INOP at the host monitor.
Correct channel configuration is important, refer to the Configuration Guide for details.

3 IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
Monitoring NBP
The IntelliVue CL NBP Pod uses the oscillometric method for measuring NBP. The blood pressure
measurements determined with this device were clinically validated according to ISO 81060-2 in relation to
mean error and standard deviation, when compared to auscultatory measurements (depending on the
configuration) in a representative patient population. The fifth Korotkoff sound was used to determine the
diastolic pressure for adult/adolescent subjects and the 4th for pediatric subjects.
The accuracy of the mean arterial pressure (MAP) was validated using the approximation:
MAPref = (SYSref + 2*DIAref) / 3
with SYSref and DIAref being the blood pressure measured by the auscultatory method.
The NBP measurement is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgery and during the discharge of a
cardiac defibrillator according to IEC 80601-2-30.
Introducing the Oscillometric NBP Measurement
Oscillometric devices measure the amplitude of pressure changes (oscillations) in the occluding cuff as the
cuff deflates from above systolic pressure. The amplitude suddenly increases as the pulse breaks through the
occlusion in the artery. As the cuff pressure decreases further, the pulsations increase in amplitude, reach a
maximum (which approximates to the mean pressure), and then diminish.
Studies show that, especially in critical cases (arrhythmia, vasoconstriction, hypertension, shock),
oscillometric devices are more accurate and consistent than devices using other noninvasive measuring
techniques.
WARNING
Patient Category: Do not use the IntelliVue CL NBP Pod on neonatal patients. The initial inflation
pressure and overpressure safety limits are too high for neonatal patients and could cause fractures and
bruises.
Intravenous infusion: Do not use the NBP cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion or arterial catheter
in place. This could cause tissue damage around the catheter when the infusion is slowed or blocked during
cuff inflation.
Skin Damage: Do not measure NBP in cases of sickle-cell disease or any condition where skin damage has
occurred or is expected.
Existing Wounds: Do not apply the cuff over a wound as this can cause further injury.
Mastectomy: Avoid applying the cuff on the side of the mastectomy, as the pressure increases the risk of
lymphedema. For patients with a bilateral mastectomy, use clinical judgement to decide whether the benefit
of the measurement outweighs the risk.
Unattended Measurement: Use clinical judgement to decide whether to perform frequent unattended
blood pressure measurements. Too frequent measurements can cause blood flow interference potentially
resulting in injury to the patient. In cases of severe blood clotting disorders frequent measurements increase
the risk of hematoma in the limb fitted with the cuff.
Temporary Loss of Function: The pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss of function of
monitoring equipment used simultaneously on the same limb.
CAUTION
If you spill liquid onto the equipment or accessories, particularly if there is a chance that it can get inside the
tubing or the measurement device, contact your service personnel.
69
3 IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
Measurement Limitations
NBP readings can be affected by the position of the patient, their physiological condition, the measurement
site, and physical exercise. Thus a physician must determine the clinical significance of the NBP
information.
Measurements are impossible with heart rate extremes of less than 40 bpm or greater than 300 bpm, or if
the patient is on a heart-lung machine.
The measurement may be inaccurate or impossible:
•
with excessive and continuous patient movement such as shivering or convulsions
•
if a regular arterial pressure pulse is hard to detect with cardiac arrhythmias
•
with rapid blood pressure changes
•
with severe shock or hypothermia that reduces blood flow to the peripheries
•
with obesity, where a thick layer of fat surrounding a limb dampens the oscillations coming from the
artery
•
on an edematous extremity.
Accelerated Measurement
When the accelerated measurement is used the minimum number of oscillations per deflation step is 1,
instead of the 2 in the standard measurement. This allows a faster measurement result but requires that the
patient keeps the limb in question still. The accelerated measurement is recommended for use when very
few or no artifacts are expected, for example with sedated patients.
You can see whether the accelerated measurement is in use by looking in the patient monitor's Setup NBP
menu. The Accelerated Msmt setting shows whether the accelerated measurement is Off, on for Manual
measurements or on for All measurements. You can see this setting in Monitoring Mode but it can only be
changed in Configuration Mode.
When the accelerated measurement is in use, no pulse rate is derived from NBP.
Measurement Modes
There are three modes for measuring NBP:
•
Manual
•
Auto
•
Sequence - up to four measurement cycles which will run consecutively, with number of measurements
and interval between them configurable for each cycle.
- measurement on demand.
- continually repeated measurements (between one minute and 24 hours adjustable interval).
Auto and Sequence modes must be set up, before a measurement series can be started. See “Enabling
Automatic Mode and Setting Repetition Time” on page 74 and “Enabling Sequence Mode and Setting Up
The Sequence” on page 75.
Additionally, you have the possibility to start an immediate, one-time measurement series at any time:
•
STAT
- rapid series of measurements over a five minute period. Use only on supervised patients.
After a STAT measurement series, the monitor returns to the previous mode. If an Auto or Sequence
measurement series was running before the STAT measurement, it will continue to run afterwards.
Reference Method
The measurement reference method is always Auscultatory (manual cuff). For further information, see the
Application Note supplied on the documentation DVD.
70
3 IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
Preparing to Measure NBP with Standard Cuffs
Apply the carrying pouch to the patient.
Apply the cuff to the patient's upper arm at the same level as the heart.
If the cuff is not at heart level, you must use the measurement correction formula to correct the
measurement.
Make sure that you are using a Philips-approved correct sized cuff and that the bladder inside the cover
is not folded or twisted.
A wrong cuff size, and a folded or twisted bladder, can cause inaccurate measurements. The width of
the cuff should be in the range from 37% to 47% of the limb circumference.
Do not wrap the cuff too tightly around the limb. It may cause discoloration, and ischemia of the
extremities.
Connect the extension air hose to the cuff.
71
3 IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
Connect the extension air hose to the cradle.
Hold the flat part of the connector vertically when plugging it into the inlet, then twist it clockwise to
lock into place. Avoid compression or restriction of pressure tubes. Air must pass unrestrictedly
through the tubing.
WARNING
Kinked or otherwise restricted tubing can lead to a continuous cuff pressure, causing blood flow
interference and potentially resulting in injury to the patient.
Place the NBP Pod into the cradle.
Put the NBP Pod into the carrying pouch.
Make sure to pinch the velcro enclosures firmly together around the extension hose exiting from the
pouch.
CAUTION
Make sure that the air vent, located next to the air tubing connector on the NBP Pod, is not covered
during operation. If air cannot enter the air vent, the pump may be damaged.
72
3 IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
WARNING
Inspect the application site of the cuff regularly to ensure skin quality and inspect the extremity of the
cuffed limb for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If the skin quality changes, or if the extremity
circulation is being affected, move the cuff to another site or stop the blood pressure measurements
immediately. Check more frequently when making automatic or stat measurements.
Attaching the Pod Directly to a Mobile CL Cuff
As an alternative to using a carrying pouch, you can attach the NBP Pod directly to the cuff. In this case you
do not need the extension hose.
Attach the cradle to the NBP cuff.
Plug the air tubing into the cradle.
Apply the cuff to the patient's upper arm.
Apply the cuff so that the cradle is located at the outside of the arm. The bladder of the cuff is then
automatically over the artery.
Insert the NBP Pod into the cradle.

Recommendations For Measurements Used in Diagnosis of Hypertension
To make a measurement for use in the diagnosis of hypertension, follow the steps below:
Ensure the patient is comfortably seated, with their legs uncrossed, feet flat on the floor and back and
arm supported.
Ask the patient to relax and not talk before and during the measurement.
If possible, wait 5 minutes before making the first measurement.

started manually.
No pulse can be derived from the NBP measurement in Accelerated and STAT mode.
If accelerated measurement mode is configured for manual or manual and Auto/Sequence measurements,
make sure that the patient is not moving during the measurements.
CAUTION
Use clinical judgment to decide whether to perform repeated series of STAT measurements because of the
risk of purpura, ischemia and neuropathy in the limb with the cuff.
Enabling Automatic Mode and Setting Repetition Time
74
In the NBP menu, select Mode and select Auto from the pop-up menu.
For an automatic measurement, select Repeat and set the time interval between two measurements.
3 IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
Enabling Sequence Mode and Setting Up The Sequence
In the NBP menu, select Mode and select Sequence from the pop-up menu.
Select Setup Sequence to open the Setup Sequence menu.
Up to four measurement phases can be setup which will run consecutively. For each phase you can set
the number of measurements and the interval between them. If you want to run less than four phases in
a sequence, you can set the number of measurements for one or more phases to Off.
Select each phase in turn (A, B, C and D) and select the number of measurements and the time interval
between the measurements.
To have measurements continue after the sequence, set the number of measurements for your last
phase to Cont and this phase will run indefinitely.
CAUTION
Be aware that, if none of the phases are set to Cont, NBP monitoring will end after the last measurement of
the last phase.
When the NBP measurement mode is set to Sequence, the repetition time for Auto mode cannot be
changed.
Announcement Tone:
Depending on the configuration of the NBP Pod, a tone before each measurement announces the next
measurement. Please inform the patient to stop moving, and especially stop moving the arm with the cuff,
when the tone sounds and the cuff inflates in order to allow a fast and accurate measurement.

Switching Pulse from NBP On/Off
In the process of making the NBP measurement, a pulse value can be derived and displayed. The pulse
value is displayed together with the time the measurement was made. After one hour the value becomes
invalid. There are no alarms associated with pulse from NBP.
When the accelerated measurement is in use, no pulse value can be derived.
To switch the display of the pulse value on or off:
•
In the NBP menu select Pulse.
Assisting Venous Puncture
You can use the NBP cuff to cause subdiastolic pressure. The cuff deflates automatically after a set time

Calibrating NBP
NBP is not user-calibrated. NBP pressure transducers must be verified and calibrated, if necessary, at least
once every two years by a qualified service professional. See the Service Guide for details.
76
3 IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
Alarms
The IntelliVue Cableless Measurements have two different types of alarm: patient alarms and technical
alarms (INOPs).
Patient Alarms
Patient Alarms are high priority alarms (such as a potentially life threatening situation), also called red
alarms, or medium priority alarms, also called yellow alarms.
Technical Alarms (INOPs)
Technical alarms, also known as INOPs, indicate that the measuring device cannot measure reliably. If an
INOP interrupts monitoring, there will be a question mark in place of the measurement numeric. An INOP
tone sounds at the Cableless Measurement Device only when there is no SRR connection to a host.
Exception: the Battery empty INOP tone sounds also with SRR connection.
Most INOPs are low priority, however there are a small number of INOPs which, due to their severity, are
medium or high priority.
Alarm Delays
There is a delay between a physiological event at the measurement site and the corresponding alarm
indication at the Cableless Measurement Device. This delay has two components:
•
The general measurement delay time is the time between the occurrence of the physiological event and
when this event is represented by the displayed numerical values. This delay depends on the algorithmic
processing.
•
The time between the displayed numerical values crossing an alarm limit and the alarm indication on
the device is the system alarm delay. The system alarm delay is the processing time the system needs for
any alarm on the Cableless Measurement Device to be indicated after the measurement has triggered
the alarm. This delay depends on the Cableless Measurement Device and the connected host system.
See the performance specifications in the chapter “IntelliVue CL NBP Pod Specifications” on page 135
for the system alarm delay specification of the Cableless Measurement Device.
The alarm delay configured for a specific measurement is normally a fixed time.
Multiple Alarms
If more than one alarm is active, the alarm messages are shown in the alarm status area in succession. An
arrow symbol next to the alarm message informs you that more than one message is active.
The Cableless Measurement Device sounds an audible indicator for the highest priority alarm. If more than
one alarm condition is active in the same measurement, the Cableless Measurement Device announces the
most severe.
NOTE
If you want to use local attended monitoring, make sure to have all Cableless Measurement Devices
upgraded to at least Rev. B.02.
Visual Alarm Indicators
WARNING
•
No patient alarms are available on the Cableless Measurement Devices when assigned to a host monitor
(unless they are selected for use in patient transport at the monitor they are assigned to) or
GuardianSoftware.
•
Visual patient alarm indicators are disabled on the Cableless Measurement Devices when connected to
a host monitor (unless they are selected for use in patient transport at the monitor they are assigned to)
or GuardianSoftware.
77
3 IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
Alarm Message
Alarm messages are displayed in black on a light gray background in the alarm status area at the top of the
screen indicating the source of the alarm and coded according to their severity. If more than one
measurement is in an alarm condition, the message changes every few seconds, and has an arrow ( ) at the
side. The asterisk symbols (*) beside the alarm message match the alarm priority: *** for red alarms, ** for
yellow alarms. Standard INOPs do not have a symbol, red and yellow INOPs have exclamation marks
beside the alarm message: !!! for red INOPs and !! for yellow INOPs.
An alarm message that appears is automatically highlighted. Use the  key to silence the message. A Silence
message is displayed at the bottom of the screen and highlighted. Press  again to confirm the
acknowledgment of the alarm. After the confirmation, any ongoing alarm message is displayed in the icon
tray of the screen.
Alarm States
Depending on the alarm state of your Cableless Measurement Device, the following icons may be displayed
on the device:
Icon
Description
No local alarming on Cableless Measurement Device. The device is connected
to a host monitor or telemetry device and has no visual or audible patient alarm
indicators. The device will only display INOP messages.
Alarms are switched off.
Alarm volume is set to 0.
Audible Alarm Indicators
Audible alarm indicator patterns are repeated until you acknowledge the alarm by switching it off or pausing
it, or until the alarm condition ceases (if audible alarm indication is set to non-latching).
Cableless Measurements Devices alone (without host, e.g. a patient monitor) are not suitable for unattended
monitoring due to their limited alarm volume.
WARNING
78
•
Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm

When using a Cableless Measurement Pod with an IntelliVue Information Center iX Release A, make sure
to remove the pod at the telemetry device and only when in SRR range of the telemetry device. Otherwise
you will get a technical alarm (cl NBP Disconnect) that can not be silenced at the telemetry device. You will
then have to reboot the telemetry device to remove the message.
Displaying a List of Current Alarms
To display a list of the currently active alarms,
Select the Alarms SmartKey or Main Setup SmartKey, followed by Alarms.
Select Alarm Messages.
Setting the Volume of the Alarm Tone
To set the volume for the Alarm tone,
Select the Alarms SmartKey or Main Setup SmartKey, followed by Alarms.
Select AlarmVol and select a volume setting. The maximum is 10 and the minimum depends on your
configuration.
If the volume of the Alarm tone is set to zero, the following symbol is displayed on the right icon tray of the
Cableless Measurement Device screen:
Minimum Volume for No Host Monitoring INOP
If your device is connected to a host monitor, and the connection is interrupted, the INOP message No
Host Monitoring will appear within 30 seconds, accompanied by an INOP tone. To help ensure that this
INOP, and any other active alarm, is not overlooked, the INOP and alarm tones may be configured to have
a minimum volume. In this case, INOP and alarm tones will sound even if the device alarm volume is set to
zero.
Alarm Reminder
If Reminder is configured on your device, you will get an audible reminder of alarm conditions that remain
active after you have silenced the alarm. This reminder may take the form of a repetition of the alarm tone
for a limited time, or an unlimited repetition of the alarm tone (this is the same as a new alarm). Alarm
Reminder is not available for standard, light blue INOPs but for yellow and red INOPs.
In Configuration Mode, you can set the interval between silencing the alarm and sounding the reminder
tone to one, two, or three minutes.

Pausing or Switching Off Alarms
If you want to temporarily prevent alarms from sounding, for example while you are moving a patient, you
can pause alarms. Depending on your device configuration, alarms are paused for one, two, or three
minutes, or infinitely. Infinite alarm pause is equivalent to switching the alarms off.
To view the alarm pause setting chosen for your unit,
In the SmartKeys Menu select Main Setup, Alarms, then OffDurat.
Check the setting.
This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.
To Pause or Switch Off Alarms
Select the
key in the SmartKeys Menu followed by Alarms. Press the  hardkey to switch to
Paused. If your device is configured to infinite pause time, selecting this option switches alarms off.
Restarting Paused Alarms
To manually switch on alarm indication again after a pause, select the key
again.
Alarm indication starts again automatically after the pause period expires. If the device is configured to stay
paused infinitely, you must select
again to restart alarm indication.
Choosing the NBP Alarm Source
You can monitor for alarm conditions in systolic, diastolic and mean pressure, either singly or in parallel.
Only one alarm is given, with the priority of mean, systolic, diastolic.
In the NBP menu, select Al. from and choose from:

If Mean is not selected as alarm source (Sys., Dia., or Sys & Dia selected), but the monitor can only derive a
mean value, mean alarms will nevertheless be announced using the most recent mean alarm limits. Check
that the mean alarm limits are appropriate for the patient, even when not using mean as the alarm source.
When no value can be derived an NBP Measure Failed INOP will be displayed.

3 IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
Alarm Limits
The alarm limits you set determine the conditions that trigger limit alarms.
WARNING
Be aware that the devices in your care area may each have different alarm settings, to suit different patients.
Always check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient before you start monitoring.
Adjusting the Alarm Limits
Select the Alarms SmartKey followed by Alarm Limits (or select Main Setup followed by NBP).
Depending on your alarm source:
a.
Select Sys.High, Dia.High and/or MeanHigh then choose the high alarm limit.
b.
Select Sys. Low, Dia. Low and/or Mean Low then choose the low alarm limit.
Latching Alarms
The alarm latching setting for your device defines how the alarm indicators behave when you do not
acknowledge them. When alarms are set to non-latching, their indicators end when the alarm condition
ends. Switching alarm latching on means that visual and/or audible alarm indications are still displayed or
announced by the device after the alarm condition ends. The indication lasts until you acknowledge the
alarm.
Viewing the Alarm Latching Settings
To see the alarm latching setting for your device,
In the Main Setup menu, select Alarms.
Here you can see the Visual Latching and Audible Latching settings.
This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. You should be aware of the settings chosen for
your unit. There are three possible choices each for visual and audible latching, red only, red and yellow, and
off. These choices can be combined to give the following settings:

Alarm Latching Behavior
As NBP is an aperiodic parameter, "Alarm condition no longer present" means either that for a
measurement in alarm the alarm limits are changed in such a way that the value is now within the limits, or
that a new measurement is done with a value within the limits.

Testing Alarms
When you switch the CL NBP Pod on, a selftest is started. You must check that the backlight switches on,
and that you hear a single tone. This indicates that the alarm indicators are functioning correctly. For further
testing of individual measurement alarms, perform the measurement on yourself or use a simulator. Adjust
alarm limits and check that appropriate alarm behavior is observed.
Alarm Behavior at Power On
If the device is switched off (Standby), all alarm settings are maintained. If the device is switched off
completely (Power Off), or the battery is completely empty, resulting in complete power loss, all alarm
settings will be lost unless they were actively saved by storing the active profile before the device was
switched off. See “Switching the Device Off” on page 17 and “Using Profiles” on page 18 for details.
When the device is switched back on from either state, it will start in Profile A and you may have to switch
to the desired profile which contains your alarm settings.
After any of these situations, you should check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient and
monitoring situation, and if necessary, select the correct Profile and patient category.

Local Attended Monitoring
When working with an IntelliVue MP5, MP5SC, MP5T Patient Monitor with software revision J.2 or higher
as a host, or with an IntelliVue X2 Multi-Measurement Module with software revision K.2 or higher, the
IntelliVue CL SpO2 and NBP Pods can be used for local attended monitoring. This is for situations where
you want to have alarm indications at the CL Pods when they are out of reach of the patient monitor
(disconnected). The patient monitor setting to switch CL Measurement Alarms on and off (cl Alarms On/
Off) is used to enable and disable this functionality. As a default, the CL Measurement Alarms are on.
Local Attended Monitoring Enabled
By default, the patient monitor is set to receive alarms from the CL Pods (can only be changed in
configuration mode). This scenario is used for patients who require uninterrupted monitoring. The various
alarms from the CL Pods are indicated at the patient monitor if they are enabled at the monitor. When the
CL Pod is disconnected from the patient monitor and the caregiver has activated the transport mode at the
monitor, physiological alarms are indicated locally at the CL Pod. A cl NBP Disconnect INOP is shown at
the monitor if the SRR connection is lost and the transport mode has not been activated.

The patient monitor is set to cl Alarms Off (this can only be done in configuration mode). This scenario is
used if the patients do not require permanent monitoring and are mobile, but vital signs are taken from time
to time. All alarms from the CL Pods are switched off at the monitor. If the SRR connection is lost, no cl
NBP Disconnect INOP is shown at the monitor in this scenario.
