Mounting the Monitor 1 Installation3Mounting the MonitorThe monitor can be rested on a flat, level surface, hung on the bed rail, or mounted on a wall or on a rollstand. See the Service Guide for details.Mounting the External Power Supply (M8023A)The external power supply (M8023A) can be rested on its rubber feet on a flat, level surface, or mounted as described in the Service Guide.The following pictures show examples of correct ( ) and incorrect ( ) ways to mount the power supply.Connecting the Monitor to AC MainsThe monitor is an electrical Class II device in which the protection against electric shock does not rely on basic insulation and a protective earth conductor but on double and/or reinforced insulation.
1 Installation Connecting the Monitor to AC Mains4The monitor has a wide-range external power supply (M8023A) that allows you to operate the monitor from an AC (alternating current) power source of 100 V to 240 V (± 10%) and 50/60 Hz (± 5%). The external power supply also charges the monitor’s battery. WARNING • Always use the supplied power cord with the earthed mains plug to connect the external power supply (M8023A) to an earthed AC mains socket. Never adapt the mains plug from the power supply to fit an unearthed AC mains socket.1 AC power cord. Connect to AC mains socket.2 Connect LAN cable here. For connection to a PC or Information Center.3 Measurement Link (MSL) cable. Supplies AC input power to the monitor for AC operation and for battery charging. When there is a LAN connection to a PC or Information Center, the MSL cable also carries this data to and from the monitor.4 Power-on LED. The green light is on when the external power supply is connected to AC mains.MSL Cable connects to power supply (M8023A)1342
Checking Out the Monitor 1 Installation5• Do not use AC mains extension cords or multiple portable socket-outlets. If a multiple portable socket-outlet without an approved isolation transformer is used, the interruption of its protective earthing may result in enclosure leakage currents equal to the sum of the individual earth leakage currents, so exceeding allowable limits.• Do not connect any devices that are not supported as part of a system.• Any non-medical device placed and operated in the patient’s vicinity must be powered via an approved isolation transformer that ensures mechanical fixing of the power cords and covering of any unused power outlets.Checking Out the MonitorThe following table defines which tests and inspections need to be performed, and when they are required.For test and inspection information regarding repairs, upgrades and all other service events, refer to the Service Guide.Te st Test or Inspection to be PerformedVisual Inspect the monitor, measurement accessories and cables for any damage. Are they free of damage?Power On Power on the monitor. Does it start up successfully without errors? Do all alarm lamps light up during power up? After start up, the monitor sounds a tone, and you can see the monitoring main screen (normally with measurement wave channels and numeric positions). Functionality Test After power up, touch the battery status indicator in the bottom right of the screen. The battery status window should open. Press the blue Main Screen key to close the window and return to the main screen. Safety Tests (1) to (4) Perform safety tests (1) to (4), as described in the Service Guide, for standalone devices if required by local laws and regulations, and each time you combine equipment to form a system, or exchange system components. Details of the safety tests and procedures are described in the Service Guide. These safety tests are derived from international standards but may not always be sufficient to meet local requirements.System Perform the system test according to IEC 60601-1-1, if applicable, after combining equipment to form a system (see the Service Guide).
1 Installation Operating the Monitor6Operating the MonitorTo complete installation you will need to operate the monitor to check basic functionality. Here is a quick introduction to the monitor. 1Switch on the monitor. After start-up the monitor display will become active.

1 Installation Handing Over the Monitor8Users must be adequately trained to use the monitor before monitoring a patient. To achieve this, they should have access to, and read, the following documentation delivered with the monitor:• Instructions for Use (this book) - for full operating instructions• Quick Guide - for quick reminders during useAdditionally, we recommend working through the Training Guide for self-training on the monitor before use (not available in all languages). The part number is M8102-944XB, where X is a digit dependent on the language. The English training guide is M8102-9441B.
922Basic OperationThese Instructions for Use are for clinical professionals using the IntelliVue MP2 (M8102A) patient monitor.This basic operation section gives you an overview of the device and its functions. It tells you how to perform tasks that are common to all measurements (such as entering data, switching a measurement on and off, setting up and adjusting wave speeds, working with profiles). The alarms section gives an overview of alarms. The remaining sections tell you how to perform individual measurements, and how to care for and maintain the equipment.Familiarize yourself with all instructions including warnings and cautions before starting to monitor patients. Read and keep the Instructions for Use that come with any accessories, as these contain important information about care and cleaning that is not repeated here.This guide describes all features and options. Your monitor may not have all of them; they are not all available in all geographies. Your monitor is highly configurable. What you see on the screen, how the menus appear and so forth, depends on the way it has been tailored for your hospital and may not be exactly as shown here.In this guide:•A warning alerts you to a potential serious outcome, adverse event or safety hazard. Failure to observe a warning may result in death or serious injury to the user or patient.•A caution alerts you to where special care is necessary for the safe and effective use of the product. Failure to observe a caution may result in minor or moderate personal injury or damage to the product or other property, and possibly in a remote risk of more serious injury.•Monitor refers to the entire patient monitor. Display refers to the physical display unit. Display Screen and Screen refer to everything you see on monitor’s display, such as measurements, alarms, patient data and so forth.
2 Basic Operation Introducing the IntelliVue MP210Introducing the IntelliVue MP2The Philips IntelliVue MP2 monitor provides a comprehensive set of basic physiological measurements: ECG (including ST analysis and optional 10-lead ECG), NBP, SpO2, and optionally invasive blood pressure, temperature and CO2. Through networking it provides information integration, documentation and information access. The MP2 can be used with adult, pediatric and neonatal patients in a hospital environment and during patient transport both inside and outside hospitals.The monitor stores data in trend databases. You can see tabular trends (vital signs) and document them on a central printer. You can view measurement trend graphs, including horizon trends, to help you identify changes in the patient’s physiological condition.The monitor can be powered by a rechargeable battery, or from AC mains using the external power supply (M8023A). For battery charging, care and status information, refer to the chapter “Using Batteries” on page 217.Controls, Indicators and ConnectorsMP2 Overview1On/Standby Switch2Power and battery indicators (see “MP2 Controls and Indicators” on page 11)33.5-inch TFT LCD touchscreen QVGA display4Alarm lamps (see “MP2 Controls and Indicators” on page 11)5Built-in carrying handle6Battery eject button7Keys (see “MP2 Controls and Indicators” on page 11)8Measurement connectors (see “MP2 Patient Connectors, Right Side” on page 12)9Battery456123584796

Operating and Navigating 2 Basic Operation19Main Setup MenuThere is usually more than one way to enter a setup menu for a measurement, to change a setting or to execute a task. Some routes are more direct than others. You can use whichever method you find most convenient. Which routes are available to you, however, can vary depending on your monitor’s configuration.For this reason, this book generally describes entry to a measurement’s setup menu via the Main Setup menu, as this route is always available and is not subject to configuration dependencies. You can get to all setup windows from the Main Setup menu. You enter the Main Setup menu by pressing the SmartKeys key, then selecting the Main Setup SmartKey.SmartKeysA SmartKey is a configurable graphical key on the screen allowing fast access to frequently used functions. Press the SmartKeys hard key to call up a set of SmartKeys on the screen. Although the selection of SmartKeys available on your monitor depends on the monitor configuration and on the options purchased, the SmartKeys window generally looks like this:Key to measurement setup menu:Item Description Comment1 INOP and alarm message field. These are always displayed at the top of the screen.2 Wave/numerics window. The main measurement numeric and wave (if applicable) are shown in this window so that you do not lose sight of the current measurement while making changes in the menu.3 Status/prompt message. Status/prompt messages related to the measurement menu are displayed below the wave/numerics. General status/prompt messages on the main screen are covered by the measurement setup menu.4 Next page arrows. The menu may have more than one page, as shown here. Move to another page by touching these arrows.5 Measurement menu buttons. Each button has two lines of text. To perform an operation on a measurement, press one of the buttons. Some buttons lead directly to a task. For example, pressing the Start/Stop button for noninvasive blood pressure starts a measurement. Other buttons open a pop-up window, which can have more than one page, from which you make a selection. Again, using noninvasive blood pressure as an example, pressing the Repeat Time button for setting the repetition time opens a pop-up window from which you pick a time, scrolling if necessary.Main Setup menuFrom here you can get to all setup menus

You can change elements such as alarm limits, patient category and so forth. When you discharge the patient, these elements return to their default values. Changes can be stored permanently only in Configuration Mode. You may see items, such as some menu options or the altitude setting, that are visible but ‘grayed out’ so that you can neither select nor change them. These are for your information and can be changed only in Configuration Mode.•Demonstration Mode: Passcode protected, this is for demonstration purposes only. You must not change into Demonstration Mode during monitoring. In Demonstration Mode, all stored trend information is deleted from the monitor’s memory.•Configuration Mode: Passcode protected, this mode is for personnel trained in configuration tasks. These tasks are described in the Configuration Guide. During installation the monitor is configured for use in your environment. This configuration defines the default settings you work with when you switch on, the number of waves you see and so forth.•Service Mode: Passcode protected, this is for trained service personnel.When the monitor is in Demonstration Mode, Configuration Mode, or Service Mode, this is indicated by a box with the mode name in the center of the Screen and a symbol in the bottom right-hand corner. Select this field to change to a different mode.Standby ModeStandby mode can be used when you want to temporarily interrupt monitoring. To enter Standby mode,1Press the SmartKeys key .2Either select the Monitor Standby SmartKeyOr select the Main Setup SmartKey, then select Monitor Standby.The Standby screen looks like this:Config
Understanding Screens 2 Basic Operation23The monitor enters Standby mode automatically after the End Case function is used to discharge a patient. Standby suspends patient monitoring. All waves and numerics disappear from the display but all settings and patient data information are retained. A special Standby screen is displayed.If a patient location is entered at the Information Center, this will also be displayed on the Standby screen (availability depends on Information Center revision).To resume monitoring,♦Select anything on the screen or press any key.Understanding ScreensYour monitor comes with a set of pre-configured Screens, optimized for common monitoring scenarios. A Screen defines the overall selection, size and position of waves and numerics on the monitor screen when you switch on. You can easily switch between different Screens during monitoring. Screens do NOT affect alarm settings, patient category and so forth.Switching to a Different ScreenTo switch to a different Screen:1After closing any open menus or windows, press the Main Screen key to access the Change Screens menu.2Choose the new Screen from the Change Screens menu.Changing a Screen’s ContentIf you do not want to change the entire Screen content, but only some parts of it, you can substitute individual waves, numerics, or trends. Be aware that these changes cannot be stored permanently in Monitoring Mode.To change the selection of elements on a Screen, 1Select the element you want to change. For example, touch the wave to enter the wave setup menu, or touch the numeric to enter the numeric setup menu.2From the menu that appears, select Change Wave or Change Numeric, and then select the wave or numeric you want.STANDBYPress any key or select any field on the screen to resume monitoring
2 Basic Operation Using the XDS Remote Display24In the Change Screen menu, the changed Screen is shown linked to the original Screen and marked with an asterisk. Up to three modified Screens can be accessed via the Change Screen menu. To recall Screens, select the name of the Screen in the Change Screen menuAfter a patient discharge, the monitor’s default Screen is shown. Modified Screens are still available in the Change Screen menu. If the monitor is switched off and then on again, modified Screens are erased from the monitor’s memory and cannot be recalled. If a modified Screen was the last active Screen when the monitor was switched off, it is retained (unless Automat. Default is set to Yes in Configuration Mode). Using the XDS Remote Display Using the IntelliVue XDS solution it is possible to view an independent monitor screen on an external display. The XDS solution consists of a medical grade PC-based hardware platform, XDS application software and the XDS connectivity option on the monitor. Depending on the configuration you can also operate the monitor from the external display. The XDS must be connected to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the monitor. It is also possible to use an existing PC, connected to the same LAN, to host the XDS Application software.For more details, including limitations and restrictions, refer to the Instructions for Use for the XDS Application. Using the Visitor ScreenIf a visitor Screen is configured for your monitor, you can use it to clear the screen of all waves and numerics but continue to monitor the patient with active alarms and trend storage at the bedside and Information Center. You can change the name of the visitor Screen in Configuration Mode.To activate this Screen,1Press the Main Screen key to open the Change Screen menu.2Select the name of the visitor Screen configured for your monitor from the list of available Screens.To select a Screen with waves and numerics again,♦Touch the gray rectangle in the center of the screen showing the visitor Screen’s name, or press the Main Screen key, to open the Change Screen menu and then select a Screen from the list.1 Wave B1 Big WaveVital Signs B2 Waves A2 Waves BChange Screen
Understanding Profiles 2 Basic Operation25Understanding ProfilesProfiles are predefined monitor configurations. They let you change the configuration of the whole monitor so you can adapt it to different monitoring situations. The changes that occur when you change a complete profile are more far reaching than those made when you change a Screen. Screens affect only what is shown on the display. Profiles affect all monitor and measurement settings.The settings that are defined by Profiles are grouped into three categories. Each category offers a choice of ‘settings blocks’ customized for specific monitoring situations. These categories are: Display (screens)– Each profile can have a choice of many different predefined screens. When you change the profile, the screen selection configured for the new profile becomes active.• Measurement Settings– Each profile can have a choice of different predefined measurement settings. These relate directly to individual measurements, for example, measurement on/off, measurement color, alarms limits, NBP alarm source, NBP repeat time, temperature unit (oF or oC) pressure unit (mmHg or kPa).• Monitor Settings– Each profile can have a choice of different predefined monitor settings. These relate to the monitor as a whole; for example, display brightness, alarms off/paused, alarm volume, QRS tone volume, tone modulation, prompt tone volume, wave speed, resp wave speed, pulse source.You can change from one complete profile to another or swap individual settings blocks (display screen/monitor settings/measurement settings) to change a subset of a profile. Changes you make to any element within the settings blocks are not saved when you discharge the patient, unless you save them in Configuration Mode.Depending on your monitor configuration, when you switch on or discharge a patient the monitor either continues with the previous profile, or resets to the default profile configured for that monitor.PAP ZERO+CHECK CAL Doe, JohnProfile : Profile AdultPatient Category : AdultPaced : NoDisplay : Vital SignsProfilesMeasmnt.Settings : Measmt.

2 Basic Operation Understanding Settings26WARNING If you switch to a different profile, the patient category and paced status normally change to the setting specified in the new profile. However some profiles may be setup to leave the patient category and paced status unchanged. Always check the patient category, paced status, and all alarms and settings, when you change profiles.When you leave Demonstration Mode, the monitor uses the default profile.Swapping a Complete Profile 1Press the SmartKeys key and–Either select Main Setup and then Profiles in the Setup menu.–Or select the Profiles SmartKey . 2In the Profiles menu, select Profile.3Chose a profile from the pop-up list.4Confirm your selection.Swapping a Settings Block1Select the Main Setup SmartKey and then Profiles in the Main Setup menu, or select the Profiles SmartKey. 2In the Profiles menu, select Display or Measmnt.

This profile is indicated by a diamond . Locked ProfilesSome profiles are locked, so that you cannot change them, even in Configuration Mode. These are indicated by this lock symbol.Understanding SettingsEach aspect of how the monitor works and looks is defined by a setting. There are a number of different categories of settings, including,Screen Settings, to define the selection and appearance of elements on each individual ScreenMeasurement settings, to define settings unique to each measurement, for example, high and low alarm limits
Changing Measurement Settings 2 Basic Operation27Monitor settings, including settings that affect more than one measurement or Screen and define general aspects of how the monitor works, for example, alarm volume, reports and recordings, and display brightness.You must be aware that, although many settings can be changed in Monitoring Mode, permanent changes to settings can only be done in the monitor’s Configuration Mode. All settings are reset to the stored defaults: • when you discharge a patient • when you load a Profile• when the monitor is switched off for more than one minute (if Automat. Default is set to Yes).Changing Measurement SettingsEach measurement has a setup menu in which you can adjust all of its settings. You can enter a setup menu:• via the measurement numeric - select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu. For example, to enter the Setup ECG menu, select the HR (heart rate) numeric.•via the Main Setup SmartKey - if you want to setup a measurement when the measurement is switched off, use the Main Setup SmartKey and select Measurements. Then select the measurement name from the popup list. With this permanent key you can access any setup menu in the monitor.• via the Measurement Selection key.Switching a Measurement On and OffWhen a measurement is off, its waves and numerics are removed from the monitor’s screen. The monitor stops data acquisition and alarming for this measurement. 1Enter the measurement’s setup menu and select the measurement.2Select the measurement name to toggle between on and off. The screen display indicates the active setting.Adjusting a Measurement WaveTo quickly adjust wave-related measurement settings (such as speed or size), select the measurement wave itself. This displays the measurement Wave menu, which has only wave-related measurement settings.Changing Wave SpeedsLowering the wave speed compresses the wave and lets you view a longer time period. Increasing the speed expands the waveform, giving you a more detailed view.The monitor distinguishes two groups of wave speed settings, •RespiratorySpeed, for CO2 waves.•Global Speed, for all waves not included in the other group.
2 Basic Operation Using Labels28Changing the Wave Group SpeedThe wave speed group setting defines the speed of all the waves in the group. To change the wave speed of a wave speed group,1Select Main Setup -> User Interface2Select Global Speed or RespiratorySpeed, as required3Select a value from the list of available speeds.Changing Wave Speed for a ChannelTo change the wave speed of an individual wave channel, 1Enter the Wave menu for a measurement by selecting its wave.2Select Change Speed.3To set the speed to the wave group speed, select RespiratorySpeed or Global Speed. To set an individual channel speed, select a numeric value from the list of available speeds. This overrides the wave group speed setting and sets the speed for the individual wave channel on the monitor Screen. The wave channel speed is independent of the wave (label) depicted in the channel, if you change the wave, the new wave will retain the set channel speed.Using LabelsYou can measure up to three invasive pressures and temperatures simultaneously. The monitor uses labels to distinguish between them. The default settings defined in the profile (such as measurement color, wave scale, and alarm settings) are stored within each label. When you assign a label to a measurement, the monitor automatically applies these default settings to the measurement. The labels assigned are used throughout the monitor, in reports, recordings, and in trends.Changing Measurement Labels (e.g. Pressure)To change a measurement label of a measurement with multiple labels (invasive pressure or temperature),1Enter the Wave menu of the measurement. 2Select Label.3Choose a label from the list.The monitor automatically applies the scale, color, etc. settings stored in the Profile for the label you select. You can change scale settings in Monitoring Mode, but color can only be changed in the monitor’s Configuration Mode. Any labels already being used in the monitor are shown “grayed-out” in the list and cannot be selected. Resolving Label ConflictsEach label must be unique, that is, it can only be assigned once. If you have a MMS Extension equipped with a pressure measurement connected to the monitor, there is a potential conflict with, for example, the ABP label. If you manually enter measurement values these may also conflict with existing labels on the monitor.Depending on your configuration, the monitor will either
Using Labels 2 Basic Operation29• display the Measurement Selection window automatically for you to resolve the conflict• take no action, you must enter the Measurement Selection window and resolve the conflictAll the currently available measurements are depicted in the Measurement Selection window. Any measurement labels causing a label conflict are shown in red. If a measurement is connected but currently unavailable, for example, because it was deactivated due to a label conflict, that measurement is shown “grayed-out”. If a MMS Extension is not available, for example if monitor is running on battery power and not an external power source, the MMS Extension is not displayed.A MMS Extension is only shown in the Measurement Selection window when the monitor is connected to the external power supply (M8023A) and running on AC mains power, and not when running on battery power.To resolve a label conflict:1Press the SmartKeys key and–Either select Main Setup and then Meas.

2 Basic Operation Changing Monitor Settings30Label Compatibility When a new measurement is introduced, or new labels for an existing measurement, these labels will not be shown on older Information Centers, and consequently not on the Overview screen sourced from the Information Center. When a patient is transferred from a monitor with these new labels to one with an older software revision, the labels will be replaced with a generic label for that measurement. The settings for that generic label will then be used. If it is critical that the measurement labels are available at the Information Center and after transfers, the older monitors and the Information Center must be upgraded to the appropriate software revision. Changing Monitor SettingsTo change monitor settings such as brightness, or QRS tone volume:1Press the SmartKeys key .2Either Enter the Main Setup menu by selecting the SmartKey . Select the setting you want to change, or select User Interface to enter a submenu where you can change user interface settings.Or Select the appropriate SmartKey for the setting you want to change.Adjusting the Screen Brightness1Select the Brightness SmartKey.2Select the appropriate setting for the screen brightness. 10 is the brightest, 1 is the least bright. Optimum is suitable for most monitoring locations and optimizes power usage for battery powered monitors.Your monitor may be configured with a lower brightness for Standby mode and also for transport to conserve battery power. These settings can only be changed in the monitor’s Configuration Mode. Setting the Date and TimeIf your monitor is connected to an Information Center, the date and time are automatically taken from this.Once it is set, the internal clock retains the setting even when you switch off the monitor.1In the Main Setup menu, select Date, Time.2Select, in turn, the Year, Month, Day, Hour (in 24 hour format, only) and Minute as necessary. Select the correct values from the pop-up list.3Select Store Date, Time to change the date and time.Checking Your Monitor Revision1Select Main Setup -> Revision to open the Monitor Revision menu. 2Select the correct device from the device pop-up keys.
Getting Started 2 Basic Operation313From the Monitor Revision menu, select the monitor component for which you need revision information.Getting StartedOnce you understand the basic operation principles, you can get ready for monitoring.Inspecting the MonitorWARNING If the monitor is mechanically damaged, or if it is not working properly, do not use it for any monitoring procedure on a patient. Contact your service personnel. 1Before you start to make measurements, carry out the following checks on the monitor. – Check for any mechanical damage.– Check all the external cables, plug-ins and accessories.2Always ensure that the battery is loaded in the battery compartment when monitoring a patient, even when the monitor is running on external power.3If you are using battery power, ensure that the battery has sufficient power for monitoring. Before using a battery for the first time, you must charge it, following the instructions given in the section on Charging Batteries.4Measurements from measurement extensions attached to the monitor are only available when the monitor is operating from AC mains power. The measurement extensions are not active when the monitor is operating from battery power.5Check all the functions of the instrument that you need to monitor the patient, and ensure that the instrument is in good working order.Switching OnPress the on/off switch on the monitor for one second. The monitor performs a self test and is then ready to use. If you see a message such as CO2SENSOR WARMUP wait until it disappears before starting to monitor that measurement.Power On/Power Off BehaviorThe general rules determining the behavior of the monitor when connected to, or disconnected from power are as follows:• A monitor that was switched on prior to a temporary power loss switches on again when power is restored.• A monitor that was switched off prior to a temporary power loss remains off when power is restored.• When AC mains power is lost, a battery powered monitor continues to run without interruption on battery power.Setting up the Measurements1Decide which measurements you want to make.
2 Basic Operation Disconnecting from AC Mains Power322Connect the required patient cables and sensors. The connectors are color-coded to the patient cables and sensors for easy identification.WARNING When connecting devices for acquiring measurements, always position cables and tubing carefully to avoid entanglement or potential strangulation. Starting Monitoring After you switch on the monitor,1Admit your patient to the monitor.2Check that the profile, alarm limits, alarm and QRS volumes, patient category and paced status and so forth are appropriate for your patient. Change them if necessary. 3Refer to the appropriate measurement section for details of how to perform the measurements you require.Disconnecting from AC Mains PowerTo disconnect the monitor from AC mains power, unplug the power cord for the external power supply (M8023A) from the mains socket.Monitoring After a Power FailureIf external power is disconnected or there is a power failure, the monitor continues to run on its rechargeable battery.If the monitor is without any power (no external power or the battery is empty) for less than one minute, monitoring will resume with all active settings unchanged. If the monitor is without power for more than one minute, the behavior depends on your configuration. If Automat. Default is set to Yes, the default profile will be loaded when power is restored. If Automat. Default is set to No, all active settings are retained, if power is restored within 48 hours. The Automat. Default setting is made in Configuration Mode.Networked MonitoringYou can connect your monitor to an Information Center on a network, using one of the optional interfaces:• Standard wired LAN• Wireless LAN• IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry System (IIT)WARNING Do not connect patient monitors to the standard hospital network.
Capturing Alarm Reports and Printing 2 Basic Operation33If your monitor is connected to a network, a network symbol is displayed in the upper left corner next to the bed label. To see details about the monitoring equipment and technical information about the network, select the Main Setup SmartKey to enter the Setup menu, then select Bed Information.Be aware that some network-based functions may be limited for monitors on wireless networks in comparison to those on wired networks.Capturing Alarm Reports and PrintingYou can print out standard reports, alarm reports and trends with the IntelliVue PC Printing Solution. This is a software package which allows you to print to a standard, off-the-shelf printer or to an electronic file such as PDF. You can download the IntelliVue PC Printing Solution free-of-charge from the Internet and install it on an existing PC. Capturing Alarm ReportsThe monitor can be set up to automatically capture alarm reports, triggered by selected alarms. The necessary settings must be made in Configuration mode. When one of the selected alarms occurs, the monitor automatically captures the alarm and creates a report which is stored in the database. As soon as the monitor is connected to a PC or network with the IntelliVue PC Printing Solution software, it will automatically print the reports, or send them to a patient-specific folder as an electronic file.

3533What’s New?This section lists the most important new features and improvements to the monitor and its user interface introduced with each release. Further information is provided in other sections of this book. You may not have all of these features, depending on the monitor configuration purchased by your hospital.What’s New in Release G.0?Short Range Radio Interface for MP2 A short range radio interface is now available for the MP2 monitor. This allows a telemetry transceiver with a short range radio adapter to be assigned to the monitor, resulting in a direct connection. The measurement data from the telemetry transceiver appear directly on the monitor screen with a minimal delay and are combined with the monitor data in one sector at the Information Center. IntelliVue XDS SolutionUsing the IntelliVue XDS solution it is possible to view an independent monitor screen on an external display. The XDS solution consists of a medical grade PC-based hardware platform, XDS application software and the XDS connectivity option on the monitor. Depending on the configuration you can also operate the monitor from the external display. The XDS must be connected to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the monitor. It is also possible to use an existing PC, connected to the same LAN, to host the XDS Application software.New Fields in the Admission FormA Middle Name field is now available in the admission form - whether it appears is configurable. Two additional ID fields, Lifetime Id and Encounter Id, can also be configured to appear and their names can be customized to fit hospital requirements. SpO2 Enhancements•Additional SpO2 Labels - SpO2pr and SpO2po labels have been added.•New manual measurement mode when telemetry devices are connected via a short range radio link.• Signal Quality Indicator displayed with the SpO2 numerics. ECG Enhancements•New */**Afib yellow alarm when an atrial fibrillation waveform is detected.•QT View window - shows current wave and baseline wave with Q and T points marked so that you can verify that the QT algorithm detects correct Q and T points.
3What’s New? What’s New in Release F.0?36What’s New in Release F.0?QT/QTc Interval Monitoring QT interval monitoring is used to assist in the detection of prolonged QT interval syndrome. The QT interval is measured and the heart-rate corrected QT value, QTc, is calculated. The monitor also provides a 'QTc value which tracks variation in the QT interval in relation to a baseline value. High alarm limits can be set for QTc and 'QTc enabling alarm notification. Manual Data EntryMeasurement values (for example lab data or manually measured temperatures) can be entered manually into the monitor and stored in the database. They can then be used for trends, reports and also be displayed as a numeric on screen, if required. Horizon Trend Enhancements The trend indicator arrow indicates how the patient trend has developed in a set time period. This period is now configurable and can be set to 10 minutes, 5 minutes or 2 minutes. The horizon (or baseline) can now be set to a range or to a specific value. Connecting an MP5 to a Monitor (Companion Mode is indicated)The MP5 monitor can be connected to one of the MP20 to MP90 monitors (then called the host monitor) and used like an MMS. This provides monitoring continuity in transport situations allowing measurement data and patient demographics from the MP5 to be transferred to another monitor. When the MP5 is connected to a host monitor, no alarms will be announced on the MP5. NBP - Programmable Measurement SequenceUp to four measurement cycles can be set up which will run consecutively. For each cycle you can set the number of measurements and the interval between them. By setting the last cycle to run continuously you can have regular measurements continue after the sequence has run. New Printing Options For ReportsReports can now also be printed via an external PC-based print server or to an internal print database, when no printer is available (for example, during transport). As soon as a printer becomes available, the reports stored in the database will print automatically.Manual Pairing At MonitorPreviously, devices could only be manually paired at the Information Center. You can now pair devices at the monitor as long as the monitor is already connected to the Information Center. Moving Windows And MenusWindows and menus can now be moved on the monitor screen. Using touch or a mouse you can select the title of a window and then “drag” it across the screen. Some positions on the screen are not allowed, such as ones overlapping the alarm field or the monitor info line. Invasive Pressure ChangesWave cursor - A cursor is now available on the realtime pressure wave to allow you to define a position and store the corresponding value. Reduced alarm limit steps in lower ranges - The alarm limits setting in 2 mmHg steps is now possible in ranges up to 50 mmHg (previously up to 30 mmHg).
What’s New in Release F.0? 3What’s New?37New Patient CheckThe monitor can be configured to ask you in certain situations: after a specified power-off period, after a specified standby period and when no basic vitals (HR, RR, Pulse, SpO2, NBP) have been measured for a specified period, whether a new patient is now being monitored. By selecting the Yes pop-up key you can discharge the previous patient and reset settings. New Smart KeysA SmartKey is available for New Lead Setup when a new ECG lead set with fewer leads than previously is being used. Better Visibility Of GridlinesThe brightness of the gridlines on the realtime waves has been increased for better visibility.

3944AlarmsThe alarm information here applies to all measurements. Measurement-specific alarm information is discussed in the sections on individual measurements.The monitor has two different types of alarm: patient alarms and INOPs. Patient Alarms are red and yellow alarms. A red alarm indicates a high priority patient alarm such as a potentially life threatening situation (for example, asystole). A yellow alarm indicates a lower priority patient alarm (for example, a respiration alarm limit violation). Additionally there are short yellow alarms, most of which are specific to arrhythmia-related patient conditions (for example, ventricular bigeminy). INOPs are technical alarms, they indicate that the monitor cannot measure or detect alarm conditions reliably. If an INOP interrupts monitoring and alarm detection (for example, LEADS OFF), the monitor places a question mark in place of the measurement numeric and an audible indicator tone will be sounded. INOPs without this audible indicator indicate that there may a problem with the reliability of the data, but that monitoring is not interrupted. Most INOPs are light blue, however there are a small number of INOPS which are always yellow or red to indicate a severity corresponding to red and yellow alarms. The following INOPs can also be configured as red or yellow INOPs to provide a severity indication:• ECG LEADS OFF•ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF (yellow only, no red INOP)• CUFF OVERPRESS• CUFF NOT DEFLATED• OCCLUSION• TELE DISCONNECT.• Replace TeleBattAll monitors in a unit should have the same severity configured for these INOPs.Alarms are indicated after the alarm delay time. This is made up of the system delay time plus the trigger delay time for the individual measurement. See the specifications section for details.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. n** HR HIGH
4Alarms Visual Alarm Indicators40The monitor sounds an audible indicator for the highest priority alarm. If more than one alarm condition is active in the same measurement, the monitor announces the most severe. Your monitor may be configured to increase alarm indicator volume automatically during the time when the alarm is not acknowledged.Visual Alarm IndicatorsAlarm message: An alarm message text appears in the alarm status area at the top of the screen indicating the source of the alarm. There is a field for INOPs (light blue, red or yellow) and a field for patient alarms, which is shared for red and yellow alarms. If more than one measurement is in an alarm condition, the message changes every two seconds, and has an arrow ( ) at the side. If both red and yellow alarm conditions are active simultaneously, they alternate every two seconds in the patient alarms field. The background color of the alarm message matches the alarm priority: red for red alarms, yellow for yellow alarms, light blue for standard INOPs, red for red INOPs and yellow for yellow INOPs. The asterisk symbols (*) beside the alarm message match the alarm priority: *** for red alarms, ** for yellow alarms, * for short 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. Depending on how your monitor is configured, it may display alarm limit violation messages• in text form, for example “**SpO2 LOW” or• in numeric form, for example “**SpO2 94<96”, where the first number shows the maximum deviation from the alarm limit, and the second number shows the currently set limit. Flashing numeric: The numeric of the measurement in alarm flashes.Bright alarm limits: If the alarm was triggered by an alarm limit violation, the corresponding alarm limit on the monitor screen is shown more brightly if Show AlarmLimits is enabled and there is sufficient room on the screen.Alarm lamp: A lamp on the monitor’s front panel flashes. The alarm lamp is divided into two sections. The right one flashes for a patient alarm, except for short yellow alarms where the lamp will light for approximately six seconds. The color is yellow or red corresponding to the highest priority patient alarm currently present. The left one lights continuously for a light blue INOP and flashes for yellow or red INOPs as follows:If only patient alarms are present, and no INOPs, the patient alarms will use both left and right sections to flash (for red and yellow alarms) or light for approximately six seconds (for short yellow alarms). If only INOPs are present, and no patient alarms, red and yellow INOPs will use both left and right sections to flash but light blue INOPs will always light continuously in the left section only.INOP Lamp ColorModulation (how long the lamp is on or off while flashing)On OffYellow 1.0 seconds 1.0 secondsRed 0.25 seconds 0.25 seconds
Audible Alarm Indicators 4Alarms41Audible Alarm Indicators The audible alarm indicators configured for your monitor depend on which alarm standard applies in your hospital. 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).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.Alarm Tone Configuration The audible alarm indicators of your monitor are configurable. In the monitor’s Configuration Mode, you can:• increase the alarm volume of unacknowledged alarms at regular intervals• change the interval between alarm sounds (ISO/IEC Standard alarms only)• change the base volume of the red and yellow alarm tones and the INOP tones• change the alarm sound to suit the different alarm standards valid in different countries.Traditional Audible Alarms (HP/Agilent/Philips/Carenet)• Red alarms and red INOPs: A high pitched sound is repeated once a second. • Two-star yellow alarms and yellow INOPs: A lower pitched sound is repeated every two seconds.• One-star yellow alarms (short yellow alarms): The audible indicator is the same as for yellow alarms, but of shorter duration.• Standard INOPs: an INOP tone is repeated every two seconds.ISO/IEC Standard Audible Alarms• Red alarms and red INOPs: A high pitched tone is repeated five times, followed by a configurable pause. • Two-star yellow alarms and yellow INOPs: A lower pitched tone is repeated three times, followed by a configurable pause. • One-star yellow alarms (short yellow alarms): The audible indicator is the same as for yellow alarms, but of shorter duration. • Standard INOPs: a lower pitched tone is repeated twice, followed by a pause. Changing the Alarm Tone Volume
4Alarms Acknowledging Alarms42♦If you want to see a numerical indication of the current alarm volume on a scale from zero to 10, or change the setting, select the Alarm Volume SmartKey. The volume scale pops up. The current setting is indented. To change the setting, select the required number on the scale. Any settings that are inactive (“grayed out”) have been disabled in the monitor’s Configuration Mode.When the alarm volume is set to zero (off), the alarm volume symbol reflects this. If you switch the alarm volume off, you will not get any audible indication of alarm conditions.Minimum Volume for No Central Monitoring INOPIf your monitor is connected to an Information Center, and the connection is interrupted, the INOP message No Central Monit. 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 monitor alarm volume is set to zero.Minimum Volume for Severe Yellow or Red INOPsSevere yellow or red INOPs require action to ensure the well-being of the patient. Therefore the minimum volume for the INOP tone is set to at least alarm volume 8, irrespective of the current alarm volume setting. The INOP tone will sound even if the monitor alarm volume is set to zero.The severe INOPs for which this applies are:Cuff Not Deflated (configurable to yellow or red)NBP Cuff Overpress (configurable to yellow or red)Insert Battery (yellow)Acknowledging Alarms To acknowledge all active alarms and INOPs, press the Silence key. This switches off the audible alarm indicators and alarm lamps. A check mark beside the alarm message indicates that the alarm has been acknowledged. If the monitor is configured to re-alarm, a dashed check mark will be shown.If the condition that triggered the alarm is still present after the alarm has been acknowledged, the alarm message stays on the screen with a check mark symbol beside it, except for NBP alarms. When an NBP alarm is acknowledged the alarm message disappears.If the alarm condition is no longer present, all alarm indicators stop and the alarm is reset.Switching off the alarms for the measurement in alarm, or switching off the measurement itself, also stops alarm indication.Alarm VolumeAPNEA
Pausing or Switching Off Alarms 4Alarms43Acknowledging Disconnect INOPsAcknowledging an INOP that results from a disconnected transducer switches off the associated measurement. The only exception is ECG/Resp: acknowledging a disconnect INOP for ECG leads does not switch off the ECG and Resp measurements. Acknowledging a disconnect INOP at the Information Center switches off the audible INOP indicator but does not switch off the measurement. Alarm Reminder (ReAlarm)If Alarm Reminder is configured on for your monitor, you will get an audible reminder of alarm conditions that remain active after you have acknowledged 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. The alarm reminder behavior at the Information Center is different to that at the monitor. Refer to the Information Center Instructions for Use for further information. Pausing or Switching Off AlarmsIf you want to temporarily prevent alarms from sounding, for example while you are moving a patient, you can pause alarms. Depending on your monitor configuration, alarms are paused for one, two, or three minutes, or infinitely. To view the alarm pause setting chosen for your unit, 1Select Main Setup -> Alarms -> Alarm Settings2Check the Alarms Off setting. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. To Pause All Alarms♦Press the Alarms key.♦If your monitor is configured to infinite pause time, the lamp next to the alarms off symbol is red, and pressing this key switches alarms off.Depending on the configuration, you may need to select Confirm to complete the change.To Switch All Alarms OffYou can only switch alarms off permanently if your monitor is configured to allow infinite alarms pause.

To Switch Individual Measurement Alarms On or Off1Select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu.2Select Alarms to toggle between On and Off.The alarms off symbol is shown beside the measurement numeric. While Alarms are Paused or Off• The red Alarms Paused lamp on the monitor front panel is lit. •In the alarm field, the monitor displays the message ALARMS PAUSED or ALARMS OFF, together with the alarms paused symbol and the remaining pause time in minutes and seconds, or alarms off symbol.• No alarms are sounded and no alarm messages are shown. • INOP messages are shown but no INOP tones are sounded. The only exceptions are the INOPs CUFF NOT DEFLATED, CUFF OVERPRESS and INOPs relating to empty, missing and malfunctioning batteries. These INOPs switch the alarms on, and the INOP tones are sounded, even if alarms are paused or off. You need to remove the INOP condition first before you can switch the alarm tones off again.If a NO SENSOR or NO TRANSDUCER INOP is present and alarms are paused or switched off, the measurement in question is switched off. Restarting Paused Alarms ♦To manually switch on alarm indication again after a pause, press the Alarms key again. Alarm indication starts again automatically after the pause period expires. If the monitor is configured to stay paused infinitely, you must select ALARMS OFF again to restart alarm indication.Resetting Arrhythmia Alarm Timeouts♦To reset the arrhythmia alarm timeout period, press the Alarms key and then press it again. Extending the Alarm Pause Time If your monitor has extended alarm pause enabled, you can extend the alarm pause time. Use this to prevent alarms being indicated, for example, while you are washing a patient or carrying out a procedure. Only extend the alarm pause time when you are sure that clinical personnel are available to monitor the patient’s condition closely. To extend the alarm pause time to five or 10 minutes, ALARMS PAUSED 1:28ALARMS OFF

Each time you select one of these pop-up keys, the Alarm Pause Time is reset to five (or 10) minutes.Alarm LimitsThe alarm limits you set determine the conditions that trigger yellow and red limit alarms. For some measurements (for example, 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 monitors 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.Viewing Individual Alarm LimitsYou can usually see the alarm limits set for each measurement next to the measurement numeric on the main screen. If your monitor is not configured to show the alarm limits next to the numeric, you can see them in the appropriate measurement setup menu. Select the measurement numeric to enter the menu and check the limits. Viewing All Alarm Limits The Alarm Limits overview window lists the currently set alarm limits for all measurements. If an Apnea alarm delay time is set, this is also shown. The ALARMS OFF symbol is shown beside the measurement label of any measurement whose alarm switched off.

4Alarms Alarm Limits48When an ST measurement is in the Change Limits window there are also two pop-up keys available labeled All ST Narrow/All ST Wide. With these keys you can set Auto Limits for all ST Leads.About Automatic Alarm Limits (AutoLimits)The monitor can automatically set alarm limits suited to your individual patient, using the Automatic Alarm Limits function. This tells the monitor to adapt the alarm limits of selected measurements to the measured vital signs within a defined safe limit. The monitor calculates safe AutoLimits for each patient based on the measured values from the last 12 seconds. The wide and narrow limits have a fixed relationship to the measured value within the non-pathological range. Outside of this range, no auto limits are calculated. To set values outside of the non-pathological range, limits must be changed manually, based on the clinician’s judgement about the specific patient.Limits Narrow sets limits close to the currently measured values for situations where it is critical for you to be informed about small changes in your patient’s vital signs.Limits Wide sets limits further away from the currently measured values for situations where small changes are not so critical. ♦Use the keys in the Change Limits window to apply AutoLimits for individual measurements. These keys are not available if AutoLimits have been disabled for the measurement in the monitor’s Configuration Mode. AutoLimits are not available for all measurements. The list of measurements for which AutoLimits can be used is defined in the monitor’s Configuration mode. Use the Change Limits window to check AutoLimits before you apply them to ensure that they are appropriate for your individual patient and their clinical condition. Once applied, AutoLimits are shown on the monitor screen just like manually-set alarm limits. If the AutoLimits are not appropriate for your patient, you must set alarm limits manually. The limits remain unchanged until you set them again or change them manually. 1 Wide alarm limits2 Narrow alarm limits3Alarm Limits4 Measurement value122143

The Review Alarms window also shows when the monitor was switched on (after being switched off for longer than 1 minute) and any changes made to the Alarms On/Off, Standby, Silence or ECG source.When you select an item from the list, you can get additional information about that item. If you select a high or low limit alarm in the list, the Graphical Trends window will open to provide further data. If you select an alert other than a high or low alarm, a help text window opens with more information. Some items in the list are simply log items not related to a patient alert as such (for example, Alarms On or Alarms Off). You cannot see any further information if you select one of these items.

If alarm pause extension is disabled, the pause pop-up keys are inactive.Latching AlarmsThe alarm latching setting for your monitor 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 monitor after the alarm condition ends. The indication lasts until you acknowledge the alarm. Viewing the Alarm Latching SettingsTo see the alarm latching setting for your monitor 1In the monitor’s Main Setup menu, select Alarms.2Select Alarm Settings, and 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, Red and Yellow, and Off. These choices can be combined to give the following settings:R = red alarms, Y = yellow alarmsAlarm Latching BehaviorAll INOPs are non-latching.

Testing Alarms 4Alarms51Te s t i n g A l a r m sWhen you switch the monitor on, a selftest is started. You must check that the alarms lamps light, one after the other, and that you hear a single tone. This indicates that the visible and audible alarm indicators are functioning correctly. For further testing of individual measurement alarms, perform the measurement on yourself (for example SpO2 or CO2) or use a simulator. Adjust alarm limits and check that appropriate alarm behavior is observed.Alarm Behavior at On/OffWhen you switch alarms on, the settings defined in the currently active Profile are used. If the monitor is switched off for longer than one minute and then switched on again, or after a loss of power lasting longer than one minute, or when a patient is discharged, the monitor can be configured to restore either the alarm settings from the monitor's configured default Profile, or the most recently used alarm settings. After any of these situations, you should check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient, and if necessary, select the correct Profile and patient category. If power is lost for less than one minute, the alarm settings prior to the power loss are restored.Alarm RecordingsYou can set up your monitor so that it automatically triggers alarm recordings at the Information Center, or if configured, to a printer as a realtime report.1Press the Main Setup SmartKey.2Select Alarms from the Main Setup menu.3Select Alarm Recording from the Alarms menu to open the Alarm Recordings menu.4Select a measurement from those listed for which you want to change the alarm condition that triggers an alarm recording. This opens a pop-up list.5For the desired measurement(s), choose the alarm condition to trigger an alarm recording:Red Only: an alarm recording will automatically be triggered when the measurement enters a red alarm condition.Red&Yell: both yellow and red alarms will trigger an alarm recording.Off: disables automatic alarm recording.Refer to the chapter “Recording” for details of how to set up a recording.

8366Managing PatientsUse the Patient Demographics window and its associated pop-up keys to admit, discharge, and transfer (ADT) patients. All patient demographic and ADT information is shared between the patient monitor and the Information Center, for example, patients admitted to the monitor are automatically admitted to a connected Information Center.Admitting a PatientThe monitor displays physiological data and stores it in the trends as soon as a patient is connected. This lets you monitor a patient who is not yet admitted. It is however important to admit patients properly so that you can identify your patient on recordings, reports, and networked devices. During admission you enter data that the monitor needs for safe and accurate operation. For example, the patient category setting determines the algorithm the monitor uses to process and calculate some measurements, the safety limits that apply for some measurements, and the alarm limit ranges.NOTE It is strongly recommended that the same patient data fields be configured to be mandatory at the monitor and the Information Center. To admit a patient,1Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window.AdultSBed10 Doe, JohnPatient DemographicsLast Name : DoeFirst Name : JohnMRN : 12345678Patient Cat.Tr a n s f e r: AdultDischrge PatientEndCaseAdmit Patient
6 Managing Patients Admitting a Patient842Clear any previous patient data by selecting the Dischrge Patient or End Case pop-up key and then Confirm. If you do not discharge the previous patient, you will not be able to distinguish data from the previous and current patients, for example, in the trend database.3Select Admit Patient.4Enter the patient information: select each field and use the on-screen keyboard or choose from the pop-up list of alternatives to input information. –Last Name: Enter the patient’s last name (family name), for example Smith.–First Name: Enter the patient’s first name, for example Joseph.–Middle Name (if configured to appear): Enter the patient’s middle name.–Lifetime Id, Encounter Id: Whether these fields appear and how they are labelled can be configured for your hospital. One or both fields may be displayed and the labels may read: MRN, Case Id, Visit Id, etc. Enter the appropriate data for the fields displayed.–Patient Cat: Choose the patient category, either Adult, Pediatric, or Neonatal.–Paced: Choose Yes or No (You must use “Yes” if your patient has a pacemaker).–Height: Enter the patient’s height.–Weight: Enter the patient’s weight.–BSA: The monitor calculates the body surface area automatically.–Date Of Birth: Enter the patient’s date of birth. Enter this in the form dd/mm/yyyy.–Age: The monitor calculates the patient age automatically.–Gender: Choose Male or Female.–Notes: Enter any extra information about the patient or treatment.5Select Confirm. The patient status changes to admitted.Patient Category and Paced StatusThe patient category setting determines the algorithm the monitor uses to process and calculate some measurements, the safety limits that apply for some measurements, and the alarm limit ranges.The paced setting determines whether the monitor shows pacemaker pulses or not. When Paced is set to No, pace pulses are filtered and therefore do not show in the ECG wave.WARNING Patient Category and Paced status will always contain a value, regardless of whether the patient is fully admitted or not. If you do not specify settings for these fields, the monitor uses the default settings from the current profile, which might not be correct for your patient.Patient category Changing the patient category may change the arrhythmia and NBP alarm limits. Always check alarm limits to make sure that they are appropriate for your patient.Paced status For paced patients, you must set Paced to Yes. If it is incorrectly set to No, the monitor could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm during asystole.Admitting a Centrally-Monitored PatientYou can admit a patient at either the bedside or the Information Center. When you admit a patient, the patient’s name appears on the bedside monitor and the Information Center.
Quick Admitting a Patient 6 Managing Patients85If you do not fill in all patient information required by the Information Center, the Information Center may reject the admission. Complete all the required fields and try again to admit the patient.Quick Admitting a PatientUse Quick Admit only if you do not have the time or information to fully admit a patient. Complete the rest of the patient demographic details later.1Select the Quick Admit SmartKey.2Enter the required data (ID fields or Last Name depending on configuration) with the keyboard.3Select Enter.4In the confirmation window, select Confirm to discharge the previous patient (if confirmation is configured). 5Check that patient category and paced status are correct for the new patient.If the monitor is connected to an Information Center and only the ID field is entered, the patient name is set to - - - at the Information Center. Complete the rest of the demographic details as soon as possible to fully identify the patient on the network, on the monitor and on printed reports. To complete the details, select Admit Patient again and complete all required fields. Editing Patient InformationTo edit the patient information after a patient has been admitted, select the patient name field on the Main Screen to open the Patient Demographics window, and make the required changes.Discharging a PatientWARNING Always perform a discharge before starting monitoring for a new patient, even if your previous patient was not admitted. Failure to do so can lead to data being attributed to the wrong patient.A discharge:– clears the information in the Patient Demographics window – erases all patient data (including trend data) from the monitor and Information Center. This ensures that data from a previous patient are not mixed with data from the new patient. – resets patient category and paced settings to the settings defined in the default Profile– resets all monitor and measurement settings as well as the active Screen to the settings defined in the default Profile– discharges the patient from the Information Center. When a patient is discharged from the monitor or from an Information Center, all patient data is deleted. Make sure that you have printed out any required reports before discharging. Check that a functioning central printer is available before you use End Case.To discharge a patient, 1Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window and associated pop-up keys.
6 Managing Patients Transferring Patients862Select the pop-up key for either:–End Case - to print any configured end case reports or vital signs recording, discharge the patient and clear the patient database, then enter standby mode. If an End Case SmartKey is configured for your monitor, you can also select this instead and then confirm. To see which end case reports are set up for your monitor, select Main Setup -> Reports -> Auto Reports. For each auto report, if End Case Report is set to On, this report will be printed when you select End Case. See the section on AutoReports for information on setting up end case reports. –Dischrge Patient - to discharge the patient without printing any reports. New Patient CheckThe monitor can be configured to ask you in certain situations:• after a specified power-off period• after a specified standby period• when no basic vitals (HR, RR, Pulse, SpO2, NBP) have been measured for a specified periodwhether a new patient is now being monitored. The pop-up window is entitled Is this a new Patient?. The monitor offers a Yes key to discharge the previous patient and begin monitoring a new patient and a No key to continue monitoring with the current patient data and settings. The time periods for the three conditions can be configured independently. Transferring PatientsTo save you from having to enter the same patient data multiple times and enable patient transfer without loss of data, patient demographic information is shared between patient monitors and Information Centers.Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient with the MonitorScenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved with the monitor to another monitoring location on the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information.1Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window, then select the Transfer pop-up key. If the patient is not admitted or not monitored by an Information Center, the Transfer key is inactive (“grayed-out”). This step preserves the patient’s demographic data during the transfer. 2At the new location, connect the monitor to the network (only needed for wired networks). If the monitor detects a patient mismatch, a window will open showing your patient’s data and asking Complete transfer of this patient?.3Select Yes to complete the transfer.4Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct. If you accidentally transfer a patient, use Re-Admit to restore this patient’s data to the Information Center. If you are not connected to the network, select Clear Transfer to leave transfer mode. The patient data remains in the monitor.
Transferring Patients 6 Managing Patients87Data Exchange Between Information CentersYou can transfer demographic data and trend data from one IIC to another by selecting Transfer on the patient monitor. Trend data is not shared between Information Centers and monitors. Resolving Patient Information MismatchWhen you connect together devices which store patient demographic data, for example:• an MMS and a monitor, • an X2 or MP5 and a host monitor, • a monitor and an Information Center, the system compares patient category, paced status, and unique patient identification in order to synchronize this information. If configured to do so, the monitor indicates a mismatch if the information is not identical.WARNING 1When a monitor is connected to an Information Center by the wireless IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface, the patient data will automatically be merged in the case of a transfer. This means there is no patient discharge at the monitor and settings and trend data will be retained. You will see a message on the monitor and the Patient Demographics window will automatically appear so that you can check the data and change it if necessary.2It is important to resolve the mismatches as soon as they are identified. Failure to do so could result in using incorrect/confusing data to make clinical decisions. Certain settings, for example Paced and Patient Category, may not match between the Information Center and the monitor. If the Paced status is set incorrectly, the system could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm in the case of asystole. It is important that the Patient Category is set correctly so the ECG can be analyzed correctly and initial arrhythmia alarm limits set.In the case where an MP5 or X2 with an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface is declared as a “telemetry device” at the Information Center and is connected to a host monitor, it is important to resolve an existing mismatch between the monitor and the Information Center before disconnecting the MP5/X2. Failure to do so discharges the MP5/X2 and synchronizes the demographics and settings to the Information Center.Manually Resolving Patient MismatchThe source of the patient mismatch is indicated by question marks (???) and displayed in the status line at the bottom of the screen (Patient ???,Patient Category ??? or Paced ???).The Select Patient window automatically opens so you can decide which patient data to use. You do not have to resolve the mismatch immediately, but the indicators remain until you do.For some common mismatch situations, the monitor will simplify the resolution by suggesting a solution for the mismatch. For example, when a patient arrives after transport and the Transfer key has been selected, the monitor will show this patient’s data and ask Complete transfer of this patient?. You can then select Yes to complete the transfer. If you select No you will go to the Select Patient window.After you resolve the mismatch, the monitor displays a confirmation window that shows the patient that has been selected and where data will be erased, if applicable. Confirm your choice. The monitor automatically displays the Patient Demographics window after confirmation. Verify that the settings shown are correct for the patient.
6 Managing Patients Transferring Patients88Gender, date of birth, height, weight, and nursing notes do not generate a mismatch. If these fields are different on different devices, the monitor resolves them itself. For example, it may take date of birth from the Information Center, whilst taking gender from the monitor. Always check the Patient Demographics after combining patients, to ensure that you are satisfied with the results. Change them if necessary.WARNING After resolving a patient mismatch, check that the monitor settings (especially patient category, paced status and alarm limits) are correct for the patient.Patient Mismatch - If One Set of Patient Data is Correct♦If there is a mismatch between an Information Center and a monitor, choose the data set you want to continue using for this patient by selecting one of the sectors in the Select Patient window.After you resolve the mismatch, the monitor displays a confirmation window that shows the patient that has been selected and where data will be erased, if applicable. Confirm your choice. The monitor automatically displays the Patient Demographics window after confirmation. Verify that the settings shown are correct for the patient.Patient Mismatch - If Neither Patient Data Set is CorrectA patient mismatch where neither set of patient data is correct might occur if you connect a new MMS to a monitor in order to prepare for a new patient, before you actually start measuring. ♦Select New Patient if you are sure that none of the information is correct. This discharges all patients, erases all data in both the monitor and MMS, resets all settings to the default Profile, and lets you admit a new patient. Patient Mismatch - If Both Patient Data Sets Are CorrectA patient mismatch where both sets of patient data are correct might occur if you admit a new patient at the monitor (or Information Center) before the patient arrives at your unit and then connect the MMS that was used during the patient transport to the monitor.♦Select Same Patient if the patient information is different, but you are sure it is the same patient. This merges the demographics and updates them in the Information Center, monitor, and MMS, according to this table. Be aware that your monitor may be configured to merge trend data from the MMS and the monitor, and to upload measurement settings from the MMS to the monitor.Select PatientDOE, JOHN F1234HG9556, 2008/00123Adult Non-PacedMILLER, Adult PacedSame PatientNew Patient
8977ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QTMonitoringThe electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart and displays it on the monitor as a waveform and a numeric. This section also tells you about arrhythmia monitoring (see page 105), ST monitoring (see page 117) and QT monitoring (see page 127).Skin Preparation for Electrode PlacementGood electrode-to-skin contact is important for a good ECG signal, as the skin is a poor conductor of electricity.1Select sites with intact skin, without impairment of any kind.2Clip or shave hair from sites as necessary.3Wash sites thoroughly with soap and water, leaving no soap residue. We do not recommend using ether or pure alcohol, because this dries the skin and increases the resistance.4Dry skin thoroughly.5Gently abrade the skin using ECG skin preparation paper to remove dead skin cells to improve the conductivity of the electrode site.Connecting ECG Cables1Attach the clips or snaps to the electrodes before placing them. If you are not using pre-gelled electrodes, apply electrode gel to the electrodes before placement.2Place the electrodes on the patient according to the lead placement you have chosen.
7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Selecting the Primary and Secondary ECG Leads903Attach the electrode cable to the patient cable.4Plug the patient cable into the white ECG connector on the monitor. An ECG waveform and numeric appears on the monitor display. CAUTION To protect the monitor from damage during defibrillation, for accurate ECG information and to protect against noise and other interference, use only ECG electrodes and cables specified by Philips. Selecting the Primary and Secondary ECG LeadsThe monitor uses the primary and secondary lead to compute HR and to analyze and detect cardiac arrhythmias. They are also available for recordings and for display on the Information Center.The secondary lead is only used if your monitor is configured for multi-lead (instead of single-lead) arrhythmia analysis. To select a lead as primary or secondary lead:♦In the Setup ECG menu, select Primary or Secondary, then select the appropriate lead. You can assign any available lead whether it is currently displayed or not.Checking Paced StatusIt is important to set the paced status correctly when you start monitoring ECG. ♦To change the paced status in the Setup ECG menu, select Paced to toggle between Yes or No.1 - ECG Connector1You should choose a lead as primary or secondary lead that has the following characteristics: • the QRS complex should be either completely above or below the baseline and it should not be biphasic• the QRS complex should be tall and narrow• the P-waves and T-waves should be less than 0.2 mV
Understanding the ECG Display 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring91WARNING Pace pulse rejection must be switched on for paced patients by setting “Paced” to Yes. Switching pace pulse rejection off for paced patients may result in pace pulses being counted as regular QRS complexes, which could prevent an asystole event from being detected. When changing profiles, and at admission/discharge, always check that paced status is correct for the patient.Some pace pulses can be difficult to reject. When this happens, the pulses are counted as a QRS complex, and could result in an incorrect HR and failure to detect cardiac arrest or some arrhythmias. Make sure that pace pulses are detected correctly by checking the pace pulse markers on the display. Keep pacemaker patients under close observation.Understanding the ECG DisplayYour display may be configured to look slightly different.ECG HR numeric: This is the heart rate derived from the monitored ECG. Pace pulse markers: These are shown if the Paced status has been set to Yes, the pacer spikes are not configured to have a fixed size, and the patient has a paced signal.Pacer Spikes: The pacer spikes are shown in white, unless the ECG wave is white, then they will be green. If the pacer spikes have been configured to have a fixed size, they will be displayed in the background as a dotted line.1 Lead label of the displayed wave2 1 mV calibration bar3Pacer spikes4 Pace pulse markers5 Current heart rate6 Current heart rate alarm limits7 EASI lead placement label8 ECG Filter labelEASIMHR bpm4816573Paced Rhythm2
7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Monitoring Paced Patients92Defibrillator synchronization marks: If an HP/Agilent/Philips defibrillator is connected, the synchronization marks (vertical lines on the ECG wave) are shown on the ECG wave. The synchronization marks will be shown in yellow, unless the ECG wave is yellow, then they will be green. If so configured, the monitor can supply its own synchronization marks; in this case the synchronization marks from a defibrillator will not be shown. ST numerics in ECG wave: ST numerics can be configured to show underneath the ECG wave on the left side.Monitoring Paced PatientsAn ECG optimized for monitoring a paced patient should look like this:You should choose a lead as primary or secondary lead that has these characteristics:• the normal QRS complex should be either completely above or below the baseline and it should not be biphasic. For paced patients, the QRS complexes should be at least twice the height of pace pulses. • the QRS complex should be tall and narrow• the P-waves and the T-waves should be less than 0.2 mV.For ease of identification on the screen, the pacer spikes can be configured to have a fixed size. They are then shown in the background as a dotted lines. The length of the dotted line is fixed to the wave channel height and is independent of the actual pacer amplitude. 1 Pacer spikes configured to have a fixed size11Normal Beats2 Pace Pulses/Beats21
Changing the Size of the ECG Wave 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring93Setting the Paced Status (Pace Pulse Rejection)Avoiding Pace Pulse Repolarization TailsSome unipolar pacemakers display pace pulses with repolarization tails. These tails may be counted as QRSs in the event of cardiac arrest or other arrhythmias. If you note a visible repolarization tail, choose a lead that decreases the size of the repolarization tail.Changing the Size of the ECG WaveIf any of the displayed ECG waves is too small or clipped, you can change the size of one or all of the ECG waves on the screen.Changing the adjustment factor only changes the visual appearance of the ECG wave on the screen. It does not affect the ECG signal analyzed by the monitor.Comparing the wave size to the 1 mV calibration bar on the ECG wave segment can help you to get an idea of the true ECG signal strength. If you choose a fixed adjustment factor, the 1 mV calibration bar will be the same size for all the displayed ECG waves. If you choose AutoSize, or an individual size using the Size Up / Size Down keys, the calibration bar may be a different size for each wave. To Change the Size of an Individual ECG Wave1Select the wave segment you want to change. This calls up the lead menu for this segment.♦In the Setup ECG menu, select Paced to toggle between Yes and No. You can also change the paced status in the Patient Demographics window. When Paced is set to Yes: – Pace Pulse Rejection is switched on. This means that pacemaker pulses are not counted as extra QRS complexes. – pace pulse marks are shown on the ECG wave as a small dash (only when the pacer spikes are not configured to have a fixed size)– the paced symbol is displayed under the HR label.When Paced is set to No, pacer spikes are not shown in the ECG wave. Be aware that switching pace pulse rejection off for paced patients may result in pace pulses being counted as regular QRS complexes, which could prevent an asystole event from being detected.PacedNon-Paced1 Repolarization tail (note width)1
7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Changing the Volume of the QRS Tone942In the lead menu, select Size Up to increase wave size or Size Down to decrease the size.Selecting AutoSize lets the monitor choose the optimal adjustment factor for all displayed ECG waves.To Change the Size of all the ECG Waves To change the size of all the ECG waves on the screen by a fixed adjustment factor, 1In the Setup ECG menu, select Adjust Size. 2Select the required adjustment factor from the line of pop-up keys. –Size x0.5 to halve the wave size –Size x1 to display the wave without zoom–Size x2 to double the wave size –Size x4 to multiply the wave size by fourChanging the Volume of the QRS ToneThe QRS tone is derived from either the HR or Pulse, depending on which is currently selected as the alarm source. The QRS volume can be set from 0 to 10 (0 means off). ♦To change the QRS volume, in the Setup ECG menu select QRS Volume and then select the appropriate volume from the pop-up list.Changing the ECG Filter SettingsThe ECG filter setting defines how ECG waves are smoothed. An abbreviation indicating the filter type is shown underneath the lead label on the monitor display. Filter settings do not affect ST measurement. ♦To change the filter setting, in the Setup ECG menu, select Filter and then select the appropriate setting. –Monitor: Use under normal measurement conditions.–Ext. Monitor: Use for pediatric and neonatal patients when diagnostic quality is required but low frequency interference or a wandering baseline may be expected. The upper edge frequency is the same as the Diag setting and the lower edge frequency is the same as the Monitor setting. –Filter: The filter reduces interference to the signal. It should be used if the signal is distorted by high frequency or low frequency interference. High frequency interference usually results in large amplitude spikes making the ECG signal look irregular. Low frequency interference usually leads to a wandering or rough baseline. In the operating room, the Filter reduces artifacts and interference from electro-surgical units. Under normal measurement conditions, selecting Filter may suppress the QRS complexes too much and thus interfere with the clinical evaluation of the ECG displayed on the monitor. This does not affect the ECG analysis performed by the monitor. If AutoFilter is set to On in Configuration Mode, the filter setting will automatically be set to Filter if electromagnetic interference is detected.
Selecting Positions of Va and Vb Chest Leads (for 6-lead placement) 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QTMonitoring95–Diag: Use when diagnostic quality is required. The unfiltered ECG wave is displayed so that changes such as R-wave notching or discrete elevation or depression of the ST segments are visible.The setting Diag selects the highest available ECG bandwidth which is 0.05 to 150 Hz for the Adult, Pedi and Neo patient category. The term “diagnostic” relates only to the ECG bandwidth requirements for diagnostic electrocardiographic devices as outlined in the ANSI/AAMI standard EC11-1991. When you are using a telemetry transmitter connected via short range radio to the monitor, the upper bandwidth for all filter settings is limited to 40 Hz. Selecting Positions of Va and Vb Chest Leads (for 6-lead placement)The two chest leads for the 6-lead placement can be positioned at any two of the V1 to V6 positions. Select the positions you have used in the Setup ECG menu, so that the chest leads will be correctly labeled.1In the Setup ECG menu, select Va Lead.2Select the position used from the list.3Select Vb Lead and select the position used from the listChoosing EASI or Standard Lead PlacementYou must enable either standard lead placement or EASI lead placement. ♦In the Setup ECG menu, select Placement and then Standard or EASI.EASI is shown beside the 1mV calibration bar on the ECG wave on the display, and EASI is marked on any printouts.See the section on EASI ECG Lead Placement for electrode placement diagrams.About ECG LeadsTo make it possible to compare measured ECG signals, the electrodes (or lead sets) are placed in standardized positions, forming so-called “leads”. To obtain ECG signals optimized for use in diagnosis and patient management in different care environments, different lead sets in varying lead placements can be used. You can use either standard lead placements or EASI lead placements with this monitor.When placing electrodes, choose a flat, non-muscular site where the signal will not be interfered with by either movement or bones. Correct lead placement is always important for accurate diagnosis. Especially in the precordial leads, which are close to the heart, QRS morphology can be greatly altered if an electrode is moved away from its correct location.
7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ECG Lead Fallback96ECG Leads MonitoredChanging Lead Sets To change the ECG lead set, •When adding leads: place the additional electrodes as required - the monitor automatically recognizes the new lead placement.•When removing leads: there are two possibilities - removing the complete chest leads block or removing individual leads. If you unplug the chest lead block from the trunk cable connector, the monitor will automatically recognize the new lead placement. Remove individual leads by removing the electrodes. The monitor will issue a Lead Off INOP message; select New Lead Setup in the Setup ECG menu and the INOP message will disappear. ECG Lead FallbackIf fallback is configured on and there is a leads off INOP in the primary lead (and in the secondary lead, if you are using multi-lead monitoring) for longer than 10 seconds, and if another lead is available, this available lead automatically becomes the primary lead. This is known as lead fallback. When the Leads Off condition is corrected, the leads are automatically switched back. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.ECG Lead PlacementsThe labels and colors of the ECG electrodes differ according to the standards that apply for your hospital. The electrode placement illustrations in this chapter use the AAMI labels and colors.If you are using these leads are available: Resp is measured between electrodes:a 3-electrode set I, II, III RA and LLa 5-electrode set I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V and MCL RA and LLa 6-electrode set I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, Va, Vb RA and LLa 10-electrode set I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 RA and LLan EASI 5-electrode set I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 I and A Electrode labels Electrode colorsAAMI EASI IEC AAMI IECRA I RWhite RedLA S LBlack YellowLL A FRed GreenRL N N Green BlackV E CBrown WhiteV1 C1 Brown/Red White/RedV2 C2 Brown/Yellow White/Yellow

The two chest leads, Va and Vb, can be positioned at any two of the V1 to V6 positions shown in the chest electrode diagram below. The Va and Vb lead positions chosen must be selected in the ECG Setup Menu to ensure correct labeling. Chest Electrode PlacementFor accurate chest electrode placement and measurement, it is important to locate the fourth intercostal space. 1Locate the second intercostal space by first palpating the Angle of Lewis (the little bony protuberance where the body of the sternum joins the manubrium). This rise in the sternum is where the second rib is attached, and the space just below this is the second intercostal space. 2Palpate and count down the chest until you locate the fourth intercostal space.V1 placement: on the fourth intercostal space at the right sternal borderV2 placement: on the fourth intercostal space at the left sternal borderV3 placement: midway between the V2 and V4 electrode positionsV4 placement: on the fifth intercostal space at the left midclavicular lineV5 placement: on the left anterior axillary line, horizontal with the V4 electrode positionV6 placement: on the left midaxillary line, horizontal with the V4 electrode positionV3R to V6R placement: on the right side of the chest in positions corresponding to those on the leftVE placement: over the xiphoid processV7 placement: on posterior chest at the left posterior axillary line in the fifth intercostal spaceV7R placement: on posterior chest at the right posterior axillary line in the fifth intercostal spaceVEV1 V2V3V4 V5V6V7V3RV4R234Angle of Lewis
ECG Lead Placements 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring9910-Lead PlacementWhen monitoring 12-leads of ECG, using a 10-Electrode Lead Placement, it is important to correctly place electrodes and to label all 12-lead ECG reports with the correct lead placement.Conventional 12-Lead ECG1 - V1 - V62 - LA3 - LL4 - RL5 - RAIn conventional 12-Lead ECG using 10 electrodes, an electrode is placed on the right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg. Six V- electrodes are placed on the chest. The right leg electrode is the reference electrode.Limb electrodes:– Place arm electrodes on the inside of each arm, between the wrist and the elbow.– Place leg electrodes inside of each calf, between the knee and the ankle.Chest electrodes:V1 - on the 4th intercostal space at the right sternal borderV2 - on the 4th intercostal space at the left sternal borderV3 - midway between the V2 and V4 electrode positionsV4 - on the 5th intercostal space at the left midclavicular lineV5 - on the left anterior axillary line, horizontal with the V4 electrode positionV6 - on the left midaxillary line, horizontal with the V4 electrode position52143
7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Capture 12-Lead100Modified 12-Lead ECGChoosing Standard or Modified Electrode PlacementIf your institution uses modified 10 Lead ECG electrode placement (the Mason-Likar Lead System), you must switch ModLdPlcmt to On in the monitor. To do this,♦in the Setup ECG menu, select ModLdPlcmt to toggle between On and Off.–When ModLdPlcmt is set to On, 12 Lead ECG Reports will be labelled 12 Lead ECG Report (Mason-Likar), and captured 12-lead ECGs will be labelled Mason-Likar to the right of the bandwidth annotation at the Information Center.–When ModLdPlcmt is set to Off, 12 Lead ECG Reports will be labelled 12 Lead ECG Report, and captured 12-lead ECGs will not be annotated at the Information Center.WARNING Do not use ECG analysis interpretation statements and measurements for 12-lead ECGs obtained using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement. This may lead to misdiagnosis since the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement does not look the same as the conventional 12-lead ECG and may mask inferior infarction due to calculated axis, R, P and T wave magnitudes shifts and ST slope. Do not export 12-lead ECGs obtained using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement. Captured 12-Lead ECGs using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement exported from the Information Center are not annotated with the Mason-Likar label. Capture 12-LeadIf the monitor is connected to an Information Center via a wired network, the Capture 12-Lead SmartKey may be configured. Selecting this exports 12-Lead ECG information to the Information Center for analysis. For details see the Instructions for Use supplied with the Information Center. 1 - LA2 - V1 - V63 - LL4 - RL5 - RA6 - Angle of LewisIf your institution uses modified 10 Lead ECG electrode placement (the Mason-Likar Lead System), place the four limb electrodes close to the shoulders and lower abdomen.The six V electrodes are placed on the chest in the same position as the conventional 12-lead placement.1 35462
EASI ECG Lead Placement 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring101EASI ECG Lead PlacementUsing a standard 5-electrode set in EASI lead placement you can monitor up to 12 standard ECG leads simultaneously and continuously at the bedside. EASI provides a monitoring method for trending ST segment changes that can provide an early indication of ischemia. WARNING EASI-derived 12-lead ECGs and their measurements are approximations to conventional 12-lead ECGs. As the 12-lead ECG derived with EASI is not exactly identical to the 12-lead conventional ECG obtained from an electrocardiograph, it should not be used for diagnostic interpretations. Respiratory monitoring is also possible with the EASI placement; respiration is measured between the I and A electrodes. Place the electrodes as accurately as possible to obtain the best quality EASI measurements.When EASI lead placement is selected, EASI is shown beside the 1mV calibration bar on the ECG wave on the display, and EASI is marked on any recorder strips and printouts.When EASI lead placement is selected, EASI is shown beside the 1mV calibration bar on the ECG wave on the display, and EASI is marked on any printouts.EASI Monitoring During INOP Conditions If one of the derived EASI leads has an INOP condition (for example, LEAD OFF), a flat line is displayed. After 10 seconds, the directly acquired EASI AI, AS, or ES lead (depending on which is available) is displayed with the corresponding lead label.

Using ECG Alarms 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring103Using ECG AlarmsECG alarms can be switched on and off and the high and low alarm limits changed just like other measurement alarms, as described in the Alarms section. Special alarm features which apply only to ECG are described here. Extreme Alarm LimitsThe extreme rate alarms, Extreme Tachy and Extreme Brady, generated by the active alarm source, either HR or Pulse, are set in Configuration Mode by adding a set value (the ' value) to the high and low alarm limits. You need to know which value has been configured for your monitor. Changing the high and low alarm limits automatically changes the extreme alarm limits within the allowed range.♦To see the extreme rate alarms set for your monitor, in the Setup ECG menu, see the menu items 'ExtrTachy and 'ExtrBrady.ECG Alarms Off DisabledBe aware that your hospital department may have decided to disable the setting ECG Alarms Off in the monitor’s Configuration Mode. In this case, HR alarms cannot be switched off in Monitoring Mode. If you try to switch off the HR alarms, you will see the message To activate enter Config and enable Alarms Off. HR Alarms When Arrhythmia Analysis is Switched OffWhen arrhythmia analysis is switched off, only these HR-related alarms will be detected:• the asystole alarm• the ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia alarm• the extreme tachycardia and extreme bradycardia alarms• the high heart rate and low heart rate alarms.Enhanced Asystole DetectionIn order to improve alarming on asystole under certain conditions, you can set Asystole Detect. in Configuration Mode to Enhanced.

7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ECG Safety Information104ECG Safety InformationCAUTION Interference from instruments near the patient and ESU interference can cause problems with the ECG wave. See the monitor specifications for more information.WARNING Defibrillation and Electrosurgery: Do not touch the patient, or table, or instruments, during defibrillation.After defibrillation, the screen display recovers within 10 seconds if the correct electrodes are used and applied in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. ECG cables can be damaged when connected to a patient during defibrillation. Check cables for functionality before using them again. According to AAMI specifications the peak of the synchronized defibrillator discharge should be delivered within 60 ms of the peak of the R wave. The signal at the ECG output on the IntelliVue patient monitors is delayed by a maximum of 30 ms. Your biomedical engineer should verify that your ECG/Defibrillator combination does not exceed the recommended maximum delay of 60 ms.When using electrosurgical (ES) equipment, never place ECG electrodes near to the grounding plate of the ES device, as this can cause a lot of interference on the ECG signal.General: When you are connecting the electrodes or the patient cable, make sure that the connectors never come into contact with other conductive parts, or with earth. In particular, make sure that all of the ECG electrodes are attached to the patient, to prevent them from contacting conductive parts or earth.During surgery: Use the appropriate orange electrode ECG safety cable, or lead cable with an orange connector, for measuring ECG in the operating room. These cables have extra circuitry to protect the patient from burns during cautery, and they decrease electrical interference. This also reduces the hazard of burns in case of a defective neutral electrode at the HF device. These cables cannot be used for measuring respiration.Pacemaker failure: During complete heart block or pacemaker failure to pace/capture, tall P-waves (greater than 1/5 of the average R-wave height) may be erroneously counted by the monitor, resulting in missed detection of cardiac arrest.Patients exhibiting intrinsic rhythm: When monitoring paced patients who exhibit only intrinsic rhythm, the monitor may erroneously count pace pulses as QRS complexes when the algorithm first encounters them, resulting in missed detection of cardiac arrest.The risk of missing cardiac arrest may be reduced by monitoring these patients with low heart rate limit at or slightly above the basic/demand pacemaker rate. A low heart rate alarm alerts you when the patient’s heart rate drops to a level where pacing is needed. Proper detection and classification of the paced rhythm can then be determined.Filtered ECG signal from external instruments: Instruments such as defibrillators or telemetry units produce a filtered ECG signal. When this signal is used as an input to the bedside monitor, it is filtered again. If this twice-filtered signal is passed to the arrhythmia algorithm, it may cause the algorithm to fail to detect pace pulses, pacemaker non-capture, or asystole, thus compromising paced patient monitoring performance.
About Arrhythmia Monitoring 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring105External pacing electrodes: When a pacemaker with external pacing electrodes is being used on a patient, arrhythmia monitoring is severely compromised due to the high energy level in the pacer pulse. This may result in the arrhythmia algorithm’s failure to detect pacemaker noncapture or asystole.Fusion beat pacemakers: Pacemakers that create fusion beats (pace pulse on top of the QRS complex) cannot be detected by the monitor’s QRS detector.Rate adaptive pacemakers: Implanted pacemakers which can adapt to the Minute Ventilation rate may occasionally react on the Impedance measurement used by patient monitors for the determination of the Resp value and execute pacing with the maximum programmed rate. Switching off the Resp measurement can prevent this. About Arrhythmia MonitoringArrhythmia analysis provides information on your patient’s condition, including heart rate, PVC rate, rhythm, and ectopics. The monitor uses the user-selected primary and secondary ECG leads for single-lead or multi-lead arrhythmia analysis. During arrhythmia analysis, the monitor continuously • optimizes ECG signal quality. This is important for arrhythmia analysis. The monitor continuously filters the ECG signal to remove baseline wander, muscle artifact, and signal irregularities. Also, if the Patient Paced status is set to Yes, pace pulses are filtered out to avoid processing them as QRS beats.• detects beats, for example, QRS complexes, identifying them for further analysis.• measures signal features such as R-wave height, width, and timing.• creates beat templates, and classifies and labels beats to aid in rhythm analysis and alarm detection.• examines the ECG signal for ventricular fibrillation, asystole, and noise. Arrhythmia OptionsYour monitor has either the basic or the enhanced arrhythmia option. Both options provide rhythm and ectopic status messages and beat labelling. The number of rhythms being classified, events being detected, and alarms generated differs according to the option. The alarms available with the different options are listed in the section “ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview” on page 102, the rhythm and ectopic messages detected are listed in “Arrhythmia Status Messages” on page 109. Where Can I Find More Information? See the Application Notes on ST and Arrhythmia supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the arrhythmia algorithm and its clinical application.

Guidelines for non-paced patients are: – QRS complex should be tall and narrow (recommended amplitude > 0.5 mV) – R-Wave should be above or below the baseline (but not bi-phasic) – T-wave should be smaller than 1/3 R-wave height – the P-wave should be smaller than 1/5 R-wave height.For paced patients, in addition to the above, the pace pulse should be:– not wider than the normal QRS– the QRS complexes should be at least twice the height of pace pulses– large enough to be detected, with no re-polarization.To prevent detection of P-waves or baseline noises as QRS complexes, the minimum detection level for QRS complexes is set at 0.15 mV, according to AAMI-EC 13 specifications. Adjusting the ECG wave size on the monitor display (gain adjustment) does not affect the ECG signal which is used for arrhythmia analysis. If the ECG signal is too small, you may get false alarms for pause or asystole. Aberrantly-Conducted BeatsAs P-waves are not analyzed, it is difficult and sometimes impossible for the monitor to distinguish between an aberrantly-conducted supraventricular beat and a ventricular beat. If the aberrant beat resembles a ventricular beat, it is classified as ventricular. You should always select a lead where the aberrantly-conducted beats have an R-wave that is as narrow as possible to minimize incorrect calls. Ventricular beats should look different from these ‘normal beats’. Instead of trying to select two leads with a narrow R-wave, it may be easier to just select one lead and use single lead arrhythmia monitoring. Extra vigilance is required by the clinician for this type of patient.Atrial Fibrillation AlarmThe monitor performs atrial fibrillation analysis using information about the RR irregularity, PR interval variability and P wave variability.In order to generate an Afib alarm the following criteria must be detected for 1 minute:• normal beat RR intervals must be irregular
Understanding the Arrhythmia Display 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring107• PR interval deviation must be large• P-wave region must not match wellAtrial fibrillation analysis is only available for adult patients and atrial fibrillation detection cannot be performed on PVCs or Paced beats.Since most atrial flutters have regular RR intervals, they cannot be detected by the atrial fibrillation algorithm.An Afib alarm can be falsely detected in the presence of:• sinus arrhythmia,• muscle noise, or• electrode motion artifact. If you also have monitors with earlier software revisions, the Afib alarm will not be generated after a transfer to one of these monitors. Always leave the Irregular HR alarm switched on, so that this alarm can be generated in such situations. See the Application Note on Arrhythmia/ST supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the arrhythmia algorithm and ECG analysis.Intermittent Bundle Branch BlockBundle branch and the other fascicular blocks create a challenge for the arrhythmia algorithm. If the QRS during the block changes considerably from the learned normal, the blocked beat may be incorrectly classified as ventricular, causing false PVC alarms. You should always select a lead where the bundle branch block beats have an R-wave that is as narrow as possible to minimize incorrect calls. Ventricular beats should look different from these ‘normal beats’. Instead of trying to select two leads with a narrow R-wave, it may be easier to just select one lead and use single lead arrhythmia monitoring. Extra vigilance is required by the clinician for this type of patient.Understanding the Arrhythmia DisplayYour monitor screen may look slightly different from the illustration.

Understanding the Arrhythmia Display 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring109Arrhythmia Status MessagesThe monitor displays two types of status messages: • Rhythm Status Messages -- to indicate the patient’s rhythm.• Ectopic Status Messages -- to indicate the presence of ectopic beats.These status messages are shown on the right hand side of the primary ECG wave. They are updated every second, with the exception of the Sinus and Supraventricular (SV) rhythm messages. The Sinus and SV rhythm messages are updated based on the current heart rate, taking into account the patient category (adult, pediatric, or neonatal). For the message to change from one rhythm status to another, the HR must be in the new range for five beats.If you have basic arrhythmia capability, you will get only messages for the alarms provided with this level.Rhythm Status MessagesThe label B or E indicates basic (B) or enhanced (E) arrhythmia capability.Rhythm Status Message Description B or EASYSTOLE No QRS for 4 consecutive seconds in absence of vent fib or chaotic signalB, EVENT FIB/TACH A fibrillatory wave for 4 consecutive seconds B, EV-TACH A dominant rhythm of adjacent Vs and a HR > the V-Tach Heart Rate LimitB, ESUSTAINED V-TACH Ventricular tachycardia rhythm for more than 15 seconds EVENT RHYTHM A dominant rhythm of adjacent PVCs and a HR dthe V-Tach HR Limit EVENT BIGEMINY A dominant rhythm of N, V, N, V EVENT TRIGEMINY A dominant rhythm of N, N, V, N, N, V EPACED RHYTHM A dominant rhythm of paced beats B, EIRREGULAR HR Consistently irregular rhythm ESINUS BRADY SINUS RHYTHM SINUS TACHYA dominant rhythm of SV beats preceded by P-waves B, ESV BRADYSV RHYTHMSV TACHYA dominant rhythm of SV beats not preceded by P-waves B, EUNKNOWN ECG RHYTHM Rhythm cannot be determined B, ELEARNING ECG Algorithm is learning the ECG beat morphology B, ELEARNING RHYTHM Algorithm is learning the rhythm of the classified beats B, ECANNOT ANALYZE ECG ECG signal is predominantly invalid and therefore cannot be analyzedB, E

No other alarms are active.Initiating Arrhythmia Relearning Manually1To initiate relearning manually, in the Setup Arrhy menu, select Relearn Arrhy.– While the monitor is learning, the delayed arrhythmia wave displays the beat label L and the rhythm status message Learning ECG. – Next, the monitor determines the dominant rhythm. The beats are labeled N, and the rhythm status message changes to Learning Rhythm.2After relearning is complete, you should check the delayed arrhythmia wave to ensure that the algorithm is labeling the beats correctly. 3If beats are still not classified correctly, check that the ECG is optimized for arrhythmia monitoring. You may need to select a different lead or change the electrodes or electrode positions if there is excessive noise, unstable voltage, low amplitude, or large P- or T-waves.

Arrhythmia Alarms 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring111Automatic Arrhythmia Relearn Arrhythmia relearning is initiated automatically whenever:• ECG monitoring is switched on• The ECG Lead or Lead Label of the primary/secondary lead is changed manually, or when fallback occurs•A Leads Off INOP condition (that has been active for > 60 seconds) ends.If you are monitoring multi-lead arrhythmia and there is a change in one lead only, relearning happens only in the affected lead. During this learning phase, the system will continue monitoring using the other lead. Therefore, the delayed arrhythmia wave is not labeled L and there is no Learning ECG rhythm status message. In addition, alarm timeout periods are maintained, stored arrhythmia templates are maintained for the operative lead, and all alarms switched on are active.Arrhythmia Relearn and Lead FallbackLead fallback triggers an automatic arrhythmia relearn.WARNING If arrhythmia learning takes place during ventricular rhythm, the ectopics may be incorrectly learned as the normal QRS complex. This may result in missed detection of subsequent events of V-Tach and V-Fib. For this reason you should: • take care to initiate arrhythmia relearning only during periods of predominantly normal rhythm and when the ECG signal is relatively noise-free• be aware that arrhythmia relearning can happen automatically• respond to any INOP messages (for example, if you are prompted to reconnect electrodes)• be aware that a disconnected EASI electrode triggers an arrhythmia relearn on all leads• always ensure that the arrhythmia algorithm is labeling beats correctly.Arrhythmia Alarms Arrhythmia alarms can be switched on and off and the alarm settings changed just like other measurement alarms, as described in the Alarms section. Special alarm features which apply only to arrhythmia are described here. The different alarms detected and generated by the monitor depend on the level of arrhythmia analysis that is enabled. For a complete list of arrhythmia alarms and INOPs, see the Alarms chapter. The monitor detects arrhythmia alarm conditions by comparing ECG data to a set of pre-defined criteria. An alarm can be triggered by a rate exceeding a threshold (for example, HR >xx), an abnormal rhythm (for example, Ventricular Bigeminy), or an ectopic event (for example, Pair PVCs).
7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Alarms112Yellow Arrhythmia AlarmsYellow arrhythmia alarms are short yellow alarms specific to arrhythmia-related patient conditions. Depending on your monitor and Information Center configuration, they may be shown with one or two stars. The heart rate alarms (High HR and Low HR) can be configured as short yellow or standard yellow alarms. When they are standard yellow alarms they exist independently of the other arrhythmia alarms and no timeout periods apply. WARNING When arrhythmia analysis is on, all yellow ECG and arrhythmia alarms are short yellow alarms (one-star). This means that the yellow alarm lamp and the tones are active for six seconds only, after which the blinking numeric and the alarm message remain for up to three minutes. The only exception to this are the HR High and Low alarms which can be configured as standard yellow alarms. Red alarms behave as usual.Arrhythmia Alarms and Latching When using arrhythmia analysis, Visual Latching and Audible Latching should be on for red alarms, or at least Visual Latching should be on. Because of the transient nature of arrhythmia alarms, many arrhythmia conditions may go unnoticed if alarm latching is off. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.Switching Individual Arrhythmia Alarms On and OffSome arrhythmia alarms can be individually switched on or off. They are: Pacer not capture, Pacer not pace, Non-Sustain VT, Vent Rhythm, Run PVCs, Pair PVCs, R-on-T PVCs, V.Bigeminy, V.Trigeminy, Multif.PVCs, Pause, SVT, Irregular HR, Missed Beat, PVCs/min and Afib.♦To switch individual alarms on or off, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select the alarm from the list to toggle between On and Off. The monitor displays the INOP message SOME ECG ALRMS OFF, if configured, when more alarms are switched off than configured in your active profile.Switching All Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms On or OffAll yellow arrhythmia alarms can be switched on and off together. To do this,♦In the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select All Yellow Off or All Yellow On.Adjusting the Arrhythmia Alarm LimitsSome arrhythmia alarms have limits which can be individually adjusted. They are:Vtach HR, Vtach Run, PVCs/min, Vent Rhythm, SVT HR, SVT Run, Asystole Thresh., Pause Threshold.1To adjust alarm limits, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select the alarm to be adjusted.2Select the appropriate setting from the pop-up list.
Arrhythmia Alarms 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring113Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout PeriodsNormally, an arrhythmia alarm is announced when an alarm condition is detected. However, there are certain situations that can inhibit the audible and visible indications of the alarm even though the alarm condition was detected. These include: • if a more serious alarm condition is active in the same chain• if a timeout period is in effect for a particular alarm • if a timeout period is in effect for a higher alarm in that chain.See “Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining” on page 114 for more details on alarm chains. What is a Timeout Period?Timeout periods are automatically started when a yellow arrhythmia alarm is detected. During this period, the same alarm condition will not generate another alarm. Alarm conditions further down the same arrhythmia alarm chain will also not generate an alarm, but alarms further up the chain will: see “Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining” on page 114). This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.♦To view the timeout period configured for your monitor, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, see the menu items TimeOut 1st and TimeOut 2nd.Resetting the Timeout Period♦To reset the timeout period, press the Alarms key and then reselect it.How are Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms Indicated?When a yellow arrhythmia alarm is generated, it triggers visual and audible indicators. Yellow arrhythmia alarms are always set to latch visually for three minutes except HR High/Low alarms, if configured to standard yellow. Depending on the alarm condition, audible and visual alarm indicators will appear as follows:Alarm Condition Example Audible IndicatorsShort yellow alarm tone sounds ...Visual IndicatorsAlarm message displayed ...Single alarm instance Non-sustained V-tachwhen alarm condition is initially detectedfor 3 minutes (latching time)Continuous alarm condition PVCs/min HIGHwhen alarm condition is initially detected and - as an alarm reminder - every time the configured time out period has expireduntil the alarm condition stops, plus a maximum of three minutes latching timeSame intermittent alarm conditionPair of PVCs each time the alarm condition is detected, provided that the configured timeout period has expired
7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Alarms114If you silence a yellow arrhythmia alarm and the alarm condition still exists, the visual indicators continue until the condition stops. You will get an alarm reminder every time the configured timeout period has expired.If you silence a yellow arrhythmia alarm and the alarm condition has stopped, the visual indicators are immediately cleared. Silencing an alarm does not reset its time out period, so you will not get a realarm for the same condition or lower on the chain until the timeout expires.Arrhythmia Alarm ChainingWhen arrhythmia analysis is switched on, multiple alarm conditions may be present. Announcing all of the detected alarm conditions would be confusing, and might hide a more serious condition. For this reason, arrhythmia alarms are prioritized in three alarm “chains”: PVC Alarms; Beat Detection Alarms, and Rate Alarms. Only the highest priority alarm condition in each chain is announced. Lower priority alarms in the same chain will not be announced while an alarm is active or during the configured timeout period. If alarm conditions of equal severity from different chains are detected, the alarm condition that occurred most recently is announced. The exception is Irregular HR, which only occurs if no other alarms are occurring.See “ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview” on page 102 for information on which alarms are included in the different arrhythmia options. See “Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout Periods” on page 113 for an explanation of how alarm timeouts work.
Arrhythmia Alarms 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring115– If there is an active Vent Bigeminy alarm, a PVCs > xx/min will not be triggered because it is lower on the same chain. However, a high HR alarm will become active because it is on a different chain.– Higher priority alarms supersede previous alarms. For example, if a Vent Trigeminy alarm is active and a Pair PVCs occurs, the Pair alarm will be activated. Understanding PVC-Related AlarmsPVC-related alarms are detected on the basis of the current ventricular heart rate and the number of consecutive PVCs counted (referred to as PVC Runs). Example: This diagram illustrates the conditions under which PVC alarms would be generated if the Vent Rhythm Run limit is set to 12, the V-Tach Run Limit is set to eight, and the V-Tach HR Limit is set to 100.

About ST Monitoring 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring117About ST MonitoringThe monitor performs ST segment analysis on normal and atrially paced beats and calculates ST segment elevations and depressions. This information can be displayed in the form of ST numerics and snippets on the monitor. All available leads can be monitored continuously. The ECG waveform does not need to be displayed on the monitor for ST Segment analysis. ST analysis is always performed using a dedicated filter which ensures diagnostic quality. If you are monitoring ECG using an ECG filter mode other than Diagnostic, the ST segment of the ECG wave may look different from the ST segment of the ST snippet for the same wave. For diagnostic evaluation of the ST segment, always switch to Diagnostic filter mode or use the ST snippet.WARNING Some clinical conditions may make it difficult to achieve reliable ST monitoring, for example: • if you are unable to get a lead that is not noisy• if arrhythmias such as atrial fib/flutter are present, which may cause an irregular baseline• if the patient is continuously ventricularly paced• if the patient has left bundle branch block.You should consider switching ST monitoring off if these conditions are present. This monitor provides ST level change information; the clinical significance of the ST level change information should be determined by a physician.ST segment monitoring is intended for use with adult patients only and is not clinically validated for use with neonatal and pediatric patients. For this reason, the recommended - and default - setting for ST monitoring in neonatal and pediatric modes is ST Analysis: Off. Switching ST On and Off♦To switch all ST monitoring on or off, in the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Analysis to toggle between On and Off.Selecting Leads for ST AnalysisYou select which leads to use for ST analysis in the Setup ST Analysis menu.To see the current list of leads selected for ST analysis:1Enter the Setup ST Analysis menu.2Select Setup ST Leads.

This removes this lead from the list.NOTE The order in which ST leads are listed in the Setup ST Leads menu determines the order in which ST leads are displayed on the monitor screen.To change the order in which ST leads are displayed,1In the Setup ST Leads menu, choose a lead from the list.2Select the Sort Up or Sort Down key to move the lead up or down in the list.Understanding the ST Display and WindowsYour monitor screen may be configured to look slightly different from the illustrations.ST Numerics Up to 12 ST numerics plus the ST index can be displayed on the monitor screen. They can be configured to show beside the measurement numerics, beside the ECG wave, or beside the ST snippet. A positive ST value indicates ST segment elevation; a negative value indicates depression.ST numerics are displayed in the order in which you select ST leads for analysis. If there is additional space in the field assigned to ST numerics, the monitor will display extra numerics in the order in which they appear in the Setup ST Analysis -> Setup ST Leads list. Any ST leads switched on for analysis that do not fit in the assigned numerics field are shown in succession in place of the last ST numeric.ST Index The ST index numeric (STindx) is the sum of the absolute values for the ST leads V2, V5, aVF. Because it is based on absolute values, it is always a positive number. If you haven’t selected one of the leads V2, V5, and aVF for ST analysis, the STindx numeric will display a question mark “?”.♦To switch the ST index numeric on or off for display, in the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST-Index to toggle between On and Off.1ST numerics2 Current HR alarm limits3 Current heart rateST-II 1.2ST-V 2.5ST-aVR -3.031 2
Updating ST Baseline Snippets 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring119ST Snippets ST snippets show a one second wave segment for each measured ST lead. The most recent snippet is drawn in the same color as the ECG wave, usually green, superimposed over the stored baseline snippet, drawn in a different color. The comparison shows any deviation in the measurement since the baseline snippet was stored, for example as a result of a procedure carried out on the patient.The information is updated once per minute. You can see ST snippets in the Adjust ST Points window or the ST Baseline window. ST Baseline Window The ST Baseline Window shows an ST snippet drawn on a grid. The current ST numeric and the ST numeric stored with the baseline are shown, as well as the difference between these two numerics. A “?” in front of the difference numeric indicates that the ST measurement points were adjusted since the baseline snippet was stored. ♦To vie w th e ST Baseline window, select the ST numerics, then ST Baseline.Updating ST Baseline SnippetsST analysis requires valid samples to measure and store a snippet. ST Snippets and ST values are updated every minute. If there is artifact in the signal, it may take longer for an ST snippet and an ST value to appear.

7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring About the ST Measurement Points120About the ST Measurement PointsThe ST value for each beat complex is the vertical difference between the ISO point and the ST point, as shown in the diagram below. The isoelectric (ISO) point provides the baseline, the ST point is at the midpoint of the ST segment. The J point is where the QRS complex changes its slope; as it is a fixed distance away from the ST point, it can be useful to help you position the ST point correctly. CAUTION The ST measurement points need to be adjusted when you start monitoring, and if the patient's heart rate or ECG morphology changes significantly, as this may affect the size of the QT interval and thus the placement of the ST point. Artifactual ST segment depression or elevation may occur if the isoelectric point or the ST point is incorrectly set. Always ensure that ST measurement points are appropriate for your patient.Adjusting ST Measurement PointsDepending on your monitor’s configuration, the ST point can be positioned either • relative to the J-point. In the Adjust ST Points window, the pop-up keys ISO Point, J Point and ST Point are visible and can be adjusted. or• directly by selecting a numeric value for the ST point. In the Adjust ST Points window, you can adjust the ISO and ST point. The ST Uses setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. To adjust the ST measurement points, 1In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select Adjust ST Points to open the Adjust ST Points window. Alternatively, you can use the Adjust ST Points pop-up key in the ST Baseline window.2Select a suitable ECG lead for ST measurement, with a visible J-point and a visible P wave. Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the ST snippets for the other ECG leads.

The current choice is highlighted (ISO point -80 in the screen example).The ISO-point cursor positions the isoelectric point relative to the R-wave peak. The relation is shown beside the ISO-point in milliseconds. Position the ISO-point in the middle of the flattest part of the baseline (between the P and Q waves or in front of the P wave). The J-point cursor positions the J-point relative to the R-wave peak. It helps you to correctly position the ST-point. Position the J-point at the end of the QRS complex and the beginning of the ST segment. The J-point cursor is not available if your monitor is configured to let you set the ST point directly. To position the ST-point relative to the J-point:select either J+60 or J+80. Select J Point and use the arrow keys to move the J-Point and position the ST-point at the midpoint of the ST segment. To position the ST-point directly: select ST Point and use the left and right arrow keys to position the ST point at the midpoint of the ST segment.4Select the Apply Changes pop-up key to activate the new ST measurement points and recalculate all ST values.The most recent ST Points adjustment time is displayed in the Adjust ST Points window.

Each ST lead has its own alarm limit. ST alarms are triggered when an ST value exceeds its alarm limit for more than one minute. Switching ST alarms off switches off alarms for all ST leads. If more than one ST measurement is in alarm, the monitor only displays the alarm message of the ST lead which is currently furthest from its set alarm limits. Single- or Multi-lead ST AlarmingBe aware that if multi-lead ST alarming is switched on, only alarms involving more than one ST lead will be announced. To choose individual or multi-lead ST alarming,♦In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Alarm Mode and select either Single ST or Multi ST.Changing ST Alarm LimitsThe monitor can detect alarms on each ST lead separately, so you can set high and low ST alarm limits individually for each ST lead. You can also set separate alarm limits for single-lead and multi-lead ST monitoring. Set the high and low alarm limits based on your assessment of the patient's clinical condition, unit protocols, physician orders or medication specified limits. A good guideline is + 1.0 mm or - 1.0 mm from the patients's ST, or follow your hospital protocol.1In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Alarm Mode and select Single ST or Multi ST.2Select the alarm to be adjusted.3Select the appropriate setting. Viewing ST MapsThe monitor can derive a multi-axis portrait (map) from the ST analysis to help you detect changes in ST values. It displays two planes obtained from a multilead ECG in a multi-axis diagram, where each axis represents a lead. The ST value at the J point is given. The position of the axes within the diagram correspond to the placement of the ECG leads. Each ST value is assigned to either a limb lead, or to a chest lead. Every axis shows the polarity of the lead it represents. By joining adjacent ST values, the monitor obtains the ST map. The contour line, and the map shading, is shown in the same color as the ECG parameter. Current ViewIn current view, the monitor displays an ST map that corresponds to the current ST values. Three or more leads per plane are necessary to display a map. The left of the following diagram shows leads I, II, III, aVR, aVL, and aVF on the limb leads.

About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring127About QT/QTc Interval MonitoringThe QT interval is defined as the time between the beginning of the Q-wave and the end of the T-wave. It measures the total duration of the depolarization (QRS duration) and repolarization (ST-T) phases of the ventricular action potential. QT interval monitoring can assist in the detection of prolonged QT interval syndrome. The QT interval has an inverse relationship to heart rate. Faster heart rates shorten the QT interval and slower heart rates prolong the QT interval. Therefore there are several formulas used to correct the QT interval for heart rate. The heart rate corrected QT interval is abbreviated as QTc. The monitor uses as a default the Bazett correction formula and the alternative Fridericia formula can be selected in Configuration Mode. For QT interval monitoring to be effective, basic or enhanced arrhythmia monitoring should be turned on. QT Measurement AlgorithmThe QT values are updated every five minutes except in the initial phase (first five minutes) where they are updated once per minute. Normal or atrial paced beats and beats with a similar morphology are averaged to form a representative waveform for further processing. Normal beats followed by a premature QRS will be excluded from the measurements to prevent the premature beat from obscuring the end of the T-wave. If the algorithm cannot form a representative waveform, for example because the morphology of the beats is too varied, a CANNOT ANALYZE QT INOP will be generated after 10 minutes. This is also the case if normal beats have been falsely labelled so that the algorithm does not have enough valid beats to make QT measurements. No QT value is calculated if the QT-HR is >150 bpm (Adult) or >180 bpm (Pedi/Neo).Because of the different algorithm approaches, a QT/QTc measurement from a diagnostic 12-lead program may differ from the realtime measurement on the monitor. Where Can I Find More Information? See the Application Note on QT/QTc Interval Monitoring and the QT Interval Monitoring Quick Guide supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the QT algorithm and performance.TQSPRQT interval
7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring128Indications For Use Of QT Interval MonitoringOf special concern for QT monitoring is the administration of QT prolonging drugs to patients identified with risk factors for Torsade de Pointe. Females, older patients and patients with bradycardia, impaired left ventricular function (ischemia, left ventricular hypertrophy), hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia are in this increased risk category. Limitations For Use Of QT Interval MonitoringSome conditions may make it difficult to achieve reliable QT monitoring, for example: • the T-wave is very flat• T-waves are not well defined due to atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation• the end of the T-wave is difficult to define because of the presence of U-waves• a high heart rate causes the P-wave to encroach on the end of the previous T-wave• noise or high QRS morphology variationFor these cases you should select a lead with a good T-wave amplitude and no visible flutter activity, and without a predominant U-wave or P-wave. Some conditions such as left or right bundle branch block or hypertrophy can lead to a widened QRS complex. If a long QTc is observed you should verify it to ensure that it is not caused by QRS widening.Because normal beats followed by ventricular beats are not included in the analysis, no QT measurement will be generated in the presence of a bigeminy rhythm. If the heart rate is extremely high (over 150 bpm for adults and over 180 bpm for pediatrics and neonates) QT will not be measured. When the heart rate changes, it can take several minutes for the QT interval to stabilize. For reliable QTc calculation it is important to avoid a region where the heart rate is changing. WARNING QT/QTc measurements should always be verified by a qualified clinician.Selecting The QT LeadsFor QT Monitoring you can select one of the following three modes:• All Leads mode - all available leads (I, II, III, V, MCL, V1 - V6) are used to produce a global QT measurement. For EASI lead placement, directly acquired AI, AS and ES leads are used. • Primary-Lead mode - the primary lead will be used for QT measurement. If the original primary lead becomes unavailable or is changed, QT measurement will continue with the new primary lead.• Single-Lead mode - a single lead selected from all available leads (except the augmented leads) will be used for QT measurement. QT measurement will stop if the selected lead becomes unavailable. To select the mode, 1Select the QT numeric to enter the Setup QT Analysis window.2Select QT Lead and select All, Primary Lead or one of the available single leads.When using the All Leads mode, make sure when you compare QT values that they are based on the same set of leads.
About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring129Changing the lead(s) used for QT measurements will not cause the baseline to be reset. QT ViewIn the QT View window you can verify that the QT algorithm detects correct Q and T points. The current waves are shown in the upper half of the window and the baseline waves in a different color below. The Q and T points are marked with a vertical line. By selecting one of the lead labels at the top of the window you can highlight the corresponding wave; the other waves are shown in gray. The underlined lead labels are the leads used for the QT calculation. By selecting the numeric area you can highlight all underlined leads. Changing The View To A Single Wave SetTo view one set of waves in a larger scale, you can cycle through the different views, 1Select Current view to see the set of current waves.2Select Baseline view to see the set of baseline waves. 3Select Split view to return to the combined view with current and baseline waves. Setting The QT BaselineIn order to quantify changes in the QTc value, you can set a QTc baseline. For example to assess the effect of medication on the QT interval you can set the current value as the baseline before you begin medication. This baseline will then be used to calculate the 'QTc value. To set the baseline, ♦Select Set Baseline and set the value.
7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring QT Alarms130If no baseline has been set for this patient, the first five minute value after the start of monitoring is automatically set as baseline. If you set a new baseline the previous baseline is discarded. As the 'QTc alarm is based on the difference between the baseline and the current value, setting an inappropriate new baseline may prevent a 'QTc alarm from being generated. Discharging a patient clears the baseline. Printing The QT WavesTo start a printout,♦Select Print QT.Recording The QT WavesTo start a recording,♦Select Record QT.QT AlarmsThere are two QT alarms, QTc high limit alarm and 'QTc high alarm. The QTc high limit alarm is generated when the QTc value exceeds the set limit for more than 5 minutes. The 'QTc alarm is generated when the difference between the current value and the baseline value exceeds the set limit for more than 5 minutes. The CANNOT ANALYZE QT INOP and the ?_will be displayed when no QT measurement could be calculated for 10 minutes. Up to this time the previous valid value will be displayed.

13388Monitoring Pulse RateThe pulse numeric counts the arterial pulsations that result from the mechanical activity of the heart in beats per minute (bpm). You can display a pulse from any measured SpO2 signal (pleth wave), or any arterial pressure (P, ABP, ART, Ao, PAP, UAP, FAP, BAP: see the pressure section for an explanation of the pressure labels). The displayed pulse numeric is labeled and color-coded to match its source wave. If the pulse numeric is not displayed, see the Setup Pulse menu to check whether it is switched on.Entering the Setup Pulse MenuIf a pulse numeric is displayed on the screen, select it to enter the Setup Pulse (Pulse Source) menu. If no pulse numeric is visible, in the Setup SpO2 menu or a Setup arterial pressure menu, select Pulse (Pulse Source).System Pulse Source The currently selected system pulse source is shown in the setup menus of the pulse source measurements. The pulse rate chosen as system pulse:• is monitored as system pulse and generates alarms when you select pulse as the active alarm source• is sent via the network to the Information Center, if available• is trended in the HighRes Trends and stored in the monitor’s databases.To define which pulse rate is used as system pulse, 1In the Setup Pulse menu, select System Pulse.2Select one of the SpO2 or arterial pressure labels from the pop-up list, or select Auto. If you select Auto, the monitor automatically chooses a pulse rate to be used as system pulse. It looks through the list from top to bottom and activates the first pulse rate that is switched on and available. If your selected pulse source measurement becomes unavailable or is switched off, the monitor will use the next measurement from the list as system pulse until the selected pulse source measurement becomes available again.
8 Monitoring Pulse Rate Switching Pulse On and Off134Switching Pulse On and OffTo switch a particular pulse numeric on or off, enter the Setup Pulse menu via the measurement setup menu or wave menu of the pulse source. For example, to switch an SpO2 pulse numeric on or off, 1Enter the Setup Pulse menu by selecting the Pulse numeric or by selecting Pulse in the Setup SpO2 menu.2In the Setup Pulse menu, select Pulse (Pulse Source) to toggle between On and Off.Using Pulse AlarmsYou can change pulse rate alarm limits in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu which can be accessed from the Setup Pulse menu or the Setup ECG menu by selecting AlarmSrc (xxx) where xxx is the current alarm source. Changing the alarm limits for a specific Pulse numeric changes the alarm limits for all pulse rate alarms and heart rate alarms.Pulse alarms are only generated when the active alarm source is set to Pulse, a pulse source is set as system pulse and pulse alarms are switched on. Selecting the Active Alarm Source: ECG or Pulse?In most cases the HR and Pulse numerics are identical. In order to avoid simultaneous alarms on HR and Pulse, the monitor uses either ECG or Pulse as its active alarm source. To change the alarm source, select AlarmSrc in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu, then select •ECG: if you want the HR to be the alarm source for HR/Pulse.•Pulse: If you select Pulse as the active alarm source, the monitor will prompt you to confirm your choice. Be aware that if you select Pulse as the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched off. •Auto: If the AlarmSrc is set to Auto, the monitor will use the heart rate from the ECG measurement as the alarm source whenever the ECG measurement is switched on and at least one ECG lead can be measured without an INOP condition.The monitor will automatically switch to Pulse as the alarm source if:– a valid ECG lead can no longer be measuredand – a Pulse source is switched on and available,The monitor then uses the pulse rate from the measurement currently active as system pulse. While Pulse is the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched off. If an ECG lead becomes available again, the monitor automatically uses HR as alarm source.Note: If ECG is switched off, the monitor will always change to Pulse as alarm source, if a Pulse is available. One exception to this rule can arise when you have a telemetry device paired with your monitor. The monitor ECG is then deactivated but the monitor may be configured to allow only ECG as the active alarm source. In this case the monitor will not switch to Pulse as alarm source and Pulse will not be available as a selection in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu.
Using Pulse Alarms 8 Monitoring Pulse Rate135WARNING Selecting Pulse as the active alarm source for HR/Pulse switches off the arrhythmia alarms listed in the section “ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview” on page 102, including Asystole, Vfib and Vtach alarms, and the heart rate alarms. This is indicated by the message ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF (unless this has been configured off for your monitor), and the crossed-out alarm symbol beside the ECG heart rate numeric. The message ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF can be configured off, or to switch to a yellow (medium severity) INOP after a fixed number of hours.High and low pulse rate and extreme bradycardia and extreme tachycardia alarms from pulse are active. Alarm Source Selection DisabledIf Alarm Source Selection is disabled, you cannot change the alarm source. If you try to change the source, the monitor displays the message To activate enter Config and enable Alarm Source Selection. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.Changing HR/Pulse Alarm Limits As Pulse and HR share the same high and low alarm limits, if you change the alarm limit in the Setup Pulse menu, the high or low alarm limits for HR in the Setup ECG menu change automatically, and vice versa. The only exceptions are caused by a low limit clamp for each measurement: the lowest value for Pulse when derived from SpO2 is 30 bpm; for HR 15 bpm, and for Pressure 25 bpm. Extreme Alarm LimitsThe extreme rate alarms, Extreme Tachy and Extreme Brady, generated by the active alarm source, either HR or Pulse, are set in Configuration Mode by adding a set value to the high and low alarm limits. You need to know what value has been configured for your monitor. Changing the high and low alarm limits automatically changes the extreme alarm limits within the allowed range.♦To see the values added to the high and low limit alarms to create the extreme rate alarms for your monitor, in the Setup ECG menu, see the menu items Extr.Tachy and Extr.Brady.QRS ToneThe active alarm source is also used as a source for the QRS tone. You can change the tone volume in the Setup SpO2 and Setup ECG menus and the QRS tone modulation in the Setup SpO2 menu. WARNING The audible QRS tone might be influenced by external interference and is not intended to be used as a substitute for ECG based arrhythmia analysis.If arrhythmia detection is needed, do not rely on the audible QRS tone.
8 Monitoring Pulse Rate Using Pulse Alarms136
13799Monitoring Respiration Rate(Resp)For the respiratory measurement (Resp), the monitor measures the thoracic impedance between two ECG electrodes on the patient’s chest. Changes in the impedance due to thoracic movement produce the Resp waveform on the monitor screen. The monitor counts the waveform cycles to calculate the respiration rate (RR).Lead Placement for Monitoring RespCorrect patient skin preparation techniques for electrode placement are important for Resp measurement: you will find this information in the chapter on ECG.The Resp measurement uses the standard ECG cable sets and lead placements. You can use any of the different types of ECG cable sets - 3-lead, 5-lead, 6-lead or 10-lead, using either standard or EASI™ placement - to measure Resp, as long as you use ICU ECG cables. The Resp signal is always measured between two of the ECG electrodes. If you are using standard ECG electrode placement, Resp is measured between the RA and LL electrodes. If you are using EASI™ ECG electrode placement, Resp is measured between the I and A electrodes. Optimizing Lead Placement for RespIf you want to measure Resp and you are already measuring ECG, you may need to optimize placement of the two electrodes between which Resp will be measured for some patients. Repositioning ECG electrodes from standard positions, especially when you are using EASI™ ECG electrode placement, results in changes in the ECG waveform and may influence ST and arrhythmia interpretation.Cardiac OverlayCardiac activity that affects the Resp waveform is called cardiac overlay. It happens when the Resp electrodes pick up impedance changes caused by the rhythmic blood flow. Correct electrode placement can help to reduce cardiac overlay: avoid the liver area and the ventricles of the heart in the line between the respiratory electrodes. This is particularly important for neonates.
9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Understanding the Resp Display138Lateral Chest ExpansionAbdominal BreathingSome patients with restricted chest movement breathe mainly abdominally. In these cases, you may need to place the left leg electrode on the left abdomen at the point of maximum abdominal expansion to optimize the respiratory wave.Understanding the Resp DisplayThe Resp measurement is displayed on the monitor as a continuous wave and a numeric respiration rate. If the detected respiration rate is close to the heart rate, this is indicated by the text HR = RR next to the respiration wave if you are in manual monitoring mode. Your monitor screen may look slightly different from the illustration.Changing Resp Detection ModesThe Resp detection level can be set either automatically or manually. ♦To change the resp detection mode, in the Setup Resp menu, select Detection to toggle between the settings. Auto Detection ModeIn Auto Detection Mode, the monitor adjusts the detection level automatically, depending on the wave height and the presence of cardiac artifact. Note that in Auto Detection Mode, • the detection level (a dotted line) is not displayed on the waveform,Some patients, especially neonates, expand their chests laterally. In these cases it is best to place the two respiratory electrodes in the right midaxillary and left lateral chest areas at the patient’s maximum point of breathing movement to optimize the respiratory wave.

Changing the Size of the Respiration Wave 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp)139• the algorithm expects a heart rate and therefore needs at least 3 electrodes attached to the patient. If you are monitoring respiration with only two electrodes, the detection algorithm becomes less sensitive which may result in reduced breath detection performance.Use Auto Detection Mode for situations where: • the respiration rate is not close to the heart rate• breathing is spontaneous, with or without continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)• patients are ventilated, except patients with Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (IMV).Manual Detection ModeIn Manual Detection Mode you must set the Resp detection level. ♦In the Setup Resp menu, select Manual Up or Manual Down. Use the dotted detection level line in the Resp waveform to determine when the desired level is reached.Once set, the detection level will not adapt automatically to different respiration depths. It is important to remember that if the depth of breathing changes, you may need to change the detection level.Use Manual Detection Mode for situations where:• the respiration rate and the heart rate are close.• patients have Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation.• respiration is weak. Try repositioning the electrodes to improve the signal.Resp Detection Modes and Cardiac OverlayIn Auto Detection Mode: If you are monitoring Resp and the ECG is switched off, the monitor cannot compare the ECG and Resp rates to detect cardiac overlay. The respiration detection level is automatically set higher to prevent the detection of cardiac overlay as respiration.In Manual Detection Mode: Cardiac overlay can in certain situations trigger the respiration counter. This may lead to a false indication of a high respiration rate or an undetected apnea condition. If you suspect that cardiac overlay is being registered as breathing activity, raise the detection level above the zone of cardiac overlay. If the Resp wave is so small that raising the detection level is not possible, you may need to optimize the electrode placement as described in the section ”Lateral Chest Expansion”.Changing the Size of the Respiration WaveWARNING When monitoring in Manual Detection Mode, make sure to check the respiration detection level after you have increased or decreased the size of the respiration wave.♦In the Setup Resp menu, select Size Up to increase the size of the wave or Size Down to decrease it.
9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Changing the Speed of the Respiration Wave140Changing the Speed of the Respiration WaveResp waveforms are usually viewed at a slower speed than other waveforms. For this reason, the Resp measurement has its own speed control and is not affected by the wave speed settings of the other measurements.♦Select the Resp wave to enter the Resp Wave menu, then select Change Speed. Choose the required speed from the pop-up list. This defines the speed at which the wave is drawn across the screen in millimeters per second (mm/s).Using Resp AlarmsResp alarms can be switched on and off and the high and low alarm limits can be changed just like other measurement alarms, as described in the Alarms chapter. Changing the Apnea Alarm DelayThe apnea alarm is a high priority red alarm used to detect apneas. The apnea alarm delay time defines the time period between the point where the monitor cannot detect any respiration activity and the indication of the apnea alarm. 1In the Setup Resp menu, select Apnea Time.2Select the appropriate setting.Resp Safety Information WARNING Respiration detection level If you do not set the detection level for the respiration correctly in manual detection mode, it may not be possible for the monitor to detect apnea. If you set the detection level too low, the monitor is more likely to detect cardiac activity, and to falsely interpret cardiac activity as respiratory activity in the case of apnea.Apnea The respiration measurement does not recognize obstructive and mixed apneas — it only indicates an alarm when a pre-adjusted time has elapsed since the last detected breath. The safety and effectiveness of the respiration measurement method in the detection of apnea, particularly the apnea of prematurity and apnea of infancy, has not been established. Interference If operating under conditions according to the EMC Standard EN 60601-1-2 (Radiated Immunity 3V/m), field strengths above 1V/m may cause erroneous measurements at various frequencies. Therefore it is recommended to avoid the use of electrically radiating equipment in close proximity to the respiration measurement unit.Resp Accessories To monitor respiration, use only the non-OR ECG accessories listed in the Resp section of the accessories chapter. You cannot measure respiration if you are using an orange OR ECG cable set. This is because of the higher internal impedance of the OR cable set, required for use if electro-surgery is being performed.
Resp Safety Information 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp)141Rate adaptive pacemakers: Implanted pacemakers which can adapt to the Minute Ventilation rate may occasionally react on the Impedance measurement used by patient monitors for the determination of the Resp value and execute pacing with the maximum programmed rate. Switching off the Resp measurement can prevent this.

1431010Monitoring SpO2Philips pulse oximetry uses a motion-tolerant signal processing algorithm, based on Fourier artefact suppression technology (FAST). 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 - visual indication of patient’s pulse.• 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.The monitors are also compatible with SpO2 technologies from other manufacturers. Please refer to the instructions for use provided with these devices for further information. SpO2 SensorsFamiliarize 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.CAUTION Do not use OxiCliq disposable sensors in a high humidity environment, such as in neonatal incubators or in the presence of fluids, which may contaminate sensor and electrical connections causing unreliable or intermittent measurements. Do not use disposable sensors on patients who have allergic reactions to the adhesive. Applying the Sensor1Follow the SpO2 sensor’s instructions for use, adhering to all warnings and cautions.2Remove colored nail polish from the application site.3Apply 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. When using the M1195A Infant Finger Sensor, select a finger or toe with a diameter of between 7 and 8 mm (0.27” and 0.31”). When applying a M1193A neonatal sensor do not overtighten the strap.
10 Monitoring SpO2Connecting SpO2 Cables1444Check 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 Loose Sensor: 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 at least every four hours.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, or intravascular venous infusion line.Connecting SpO2 Cables♦Connect the sensor cable to the color-coded socket on the monitor. You can connect some Philips sensors directly to the monitor. For other sensors, use the corresponding adapter cable.CAUTION Extension cables: Do not use more than one extension cable (M1941A). Do not use an extension cable with Philips reusable sensors or adapter cables with part numbers ending in -L (indicates “long” cable version).Electrical Interference: Position the sensor cable and connector away from power cables, to avoid electrical interference.Humidity: For neonatal patients, make sure that all sensor connectors and adapter cable connectors are outside the incubator. The humid atmosphere inside can cause inaccurate measurements.Measuring SpO21Select the correct patient category setting (adult/pediatric and neonatal), as this is used to optimize the calculation of the SpO2 and pulse numerics. 2During measurement, ensure that the application site:– has a pulsatile flow, ideally with a perfusion indicator value above 1.0.– has not changed in its thickness (for example, due to edema), causing an improper fit of the sensor.
SpO2 Signal Quality Indicator (Fast SpO2 only) 10 Monitoring SpO2145WARNING Inspect the application site every two to three hours to ensure skin quality and correct optical alignment. If the skin quality changes, move the sensor to another site. Change the application site at least every four hours.CAUTION • Injected dyes such as methylene blue, or intravascular dyshemoglobins such as methemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin may lead to inaccurate measurements.• Interference can be caused by:– High levels of ambient light or strobe lights or flashing lights (such as fire alarm lamps). (Hint: cover application site with opaque material.)– Electromagnetic interference.– Excessive patient movement and vibration.SpO2 Signal Quality Indicator (Fast SpO2 only)The SpO2 numeric is displayed together with a signal quality indicator (if configured and enough space is available) which gives an indication of the reliability of the current values. The level to which the triangle is filled shows the quality of the signal; the indicator below shows a medium signal quality, the signal quality is at a maximum when the triangle is completely filled.Assessing a Suspicious SpO2 ReadingTraditionally, 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/Pleth 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 the pleth wave and perfusion indicator instead to assess the signal quality.NOTE 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 to a patient. Especially bandage-type sensor designs are sensitive to minimal sensor movement that might occur when the sensor is dangling. SpO2
10 Monitoring SpO2Changing the Averaging Time146Changing the Averaging TimeDepending 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 algorithm depends on the SpO2 technology (option) used and on the signal conditions. The longer the averaging time, the longer the time needed until the SpO2 value reflects the physiological event. 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.1In the SpO2 Setup, select Average.2Select the required averaging time from the list. Setting the Measurement ModeWhen a telemetry device supplies SpO2T to the monitor via short range radio transmission, the monitor will have a manual measurement mode available. This allows SpO2 measurements to be made on request and not continuously, helping to save the telemetry device’s battery power. To set the measurement mode, 1In the SpO2 Setup, select Mode.2Select Continuous or Manual mode.Making a Manual MeasurementWhen the measurement mode is set to manual, ♦In the SpO2 Setup, select Measure SpO2.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 SpO2T measurements made in manual mode, for example SpO2T, PerfT, PulseT, 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. Understanding SpO2 AlarmsThis refers to SpO2 specific alarms. See the Alarms section for general alarm information. SpO2 offers high and low limit alarms, and a high priority desat alarm. You cannot set the low alarm limit below the desat alarm limit.Perf T
Pleth Wave 10 Monitoring SpO2147CAUTION If you measure SpO2 on a limb that has an inflated NBP cuff, a non-pulsatile SpO2 INOP can occur. If the monitor is configured to suppress this alarm there may be a delay of up to 60 seconds in indicating critical patient status, such as sudden pulse loss or hypoxia.Alarm DelaysThere is a delay between a physiological event at the measurement site and the corresponding alarm at the monitor. This delay has two components:• 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 and the configured averaging time. The longer the averaging time configured, the longer the time needed until the numerical values reflect the physiological event.• The time between the displayed numerical values crossing an alarm limit and the alarm indication on the monitor. This delay is the combination of the configured alarm delay time plus the general system delay time (see “Monitor Performance Specifications” on page 251).Adjusting the Alarm LimitsIn the Setup SpO2 menu:• Touch the high limit on the alarm limits menu button. Choose the high alarm limit from the pop-up list that opens.• Touch the low limit on the alarm limits menu button. Choose the low alarm limit from the pop-up list that opens.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 alarm off. Adjusting the Desat Limit AlarmThe Desat alarm is a high priority (red) alarm notifying you of potentially life threatening drops in oxygen saturation. 1In the Setup SpO2 menu, select DesatLimit.2Adjust the limit.Pleth WaveThe Pleth wave is autoscaled to maximum display size. It decreases only when the signal quality becomes marginal. It is NOT directly proportional to the pulse volume. If you need an indication of change in pulse volume, use the perfusion indicator.
10 Monitoring SpO2Perfusion Numeric148 Perfusion NumericThe perfusion numeric (Perf) gives a value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by the pulsating arterial blood flow.As pulse oximetry is based on the pulsatile nature of the signal, 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.Perfusion Change IndicatorThe perfusion change indicator is a graphic symbol which shows the change in the perfusion value, relative to a reference value which you can set. To set the current perfusion value as the reference value:♦In the Setup SpO2 menu, select Set Perf Ref..When a reference value has been set, the perfusion change indicator is displayed next to the perfusion numeric.Setting SpO2/Pleth as Pulse Source1In the Setup SpO2 menu, select Pulse (SpO2) to enter the Setup Pulse menu.2In the Setup Pulse menu, select SystPulse and select SpO2 from the pop-up list.Setting Up Tone ModulationIf tone modulation is on, the QRS tone pitch lowers when the SpO2 level drops. Remember, the QRS tone is derived from either heart rate or pulse depending on which is currently selected as the active alarm source. ♦In the Setup SpO2 menu, select Tone Mod. to toggle between Yes (for on) and No (for off).minimum size for reliable SpO2 valuePerfusion changeindicator

1511111Monitoring NBPThis monitor uses the oscillometric method for measuring NBP. In adult and pediatric mode, the blood pressure measurements determined with this device comply with the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers (ANSI/AAMI SP10-1992) in relation to mean error and standard deviation, when compared to intra-arterial or auscultatory measurements (depending on the configuration) in a representative patient population. For the auscultatory reference, the fifth Korotkoff sound was used to determine the diastolic pressure.In neonatal mode, the blood pressure measurements determined with this device comply with the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers (ANSI/AAMI SP10-1992) in relation to mean error and standard deviation, when compared to intra-arterial measurements in a representative patient population.The NBP measurement is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgery and during the discharge of a cardiac defibrillator according to IEC 601-2-30:1999/EN 60601-2-30:2000.A physician must determine the clinical significance of the NBP information.Introducing the Oscillometric NBP MeasurementOscillometric devices measure the amplitude of pressure changes 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: Select the correct patient category setting for your patient. Do not apply the higher adult inflation, overpressure limits and measurement duration to neonatal patients.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 on patients with sickle-cell disease or any condition where skin damage has occurred or is expected.Unattended measurement: Use clinical judgement to decide whether to perform frequent unattended blood pressure measurements on patients with severe blood clotting disorders because of the risk of hematoma in the limb fitted with the cuff.
11 Monitoring NBP Preparing to Measure NBP152CAUTION 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.Measurement LimitationsMeasurements 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:• if a regular arterial pressure pulse is hard to detect• with cardiac arrhythmias• with excessive and continuous patient movement such as shivering or convulsions• 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.Measurement MethodsThere are three methods of measuring NBP:•Manual - measurement on demand.•Auto - continually repeated measurements (between one and 120 minute adjustable interval).•Sequence - up to four measurement cycles which will run consecutively, with number of measurements and interval between them configurable for each cycle. •STAT - rapid series of measurements over a five minute period, then the monitor returns to the previous mode. Use only on supervised patients.Reference MethodThe NBP measurement reference method can be Auscultatory (manual cuff) or Invasive (intra-arterial). For further information, see the Application Note on NBP supplied on the monitor documentation CD-ROM. In Adult and Pediatric mode to check the current setting, select Main Setup -> Measurements -> NBP, and check whether the Reference setting is set to Auscult. or Invasive. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. In Neonatal mode, to comply with safety standards, invasive is always used as the reference method. This setting cannot be changed and is not visible in any operating mode.Preparing to Measure NBP1Connect the cuff to the air tubing.
Preparing to Measure NBP 11 Monitoring NBP1532Plug the air tubing into the red NBP connector. Avoid compression or restriction of pressure tubes. Air must pass unrestricted through the tubing.3Make 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. The inflatable part of the cuff should be long enough to encircle at least 80% of the limb.4Apply the cuff to a limb at the same level as the patient’s heart. If it is not, you must use the measurement correction formula to correct the measurement. The marking on the cuff must match the artery location. Do not wrap the cuff too tightly around the limb. It may cause discoloration, and ischemia of the extremities. Inspect the application site 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.Correcting the Measurement if Limb is not at Heart LevelTo correct the measurement if the limb is not at heart level, to the displayed valueUnderstanding the NBP NumericsDepending on the NBP numeric size, not all elements may be visible. Your monitor may be configured to display only the systolic and diastolic values.Alarm Sources if you have parallel alarm sources, the sources are displayed instead of the alarm limits. NBP Timestamp depending on the configured NBP Time setting, the time shown beside the NBP numeric can be: –Meas Time: the time of the most recent NBP measurement, or–Next Meas: the time until the next measurement in an automatic series, displayed with a graphic representation of the remaining time, as shown here.add 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) for each centimeter higher ordeduct 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) for each centimeter lower oradd 1.9mmHg (0.25kPa) for each inch higher. deduct 1.9mmHg (0.25kPa) for each inch lower.AutoSys.Measurement Mode Timestamp/TimerMean pressureDiastolicAlarm limitsAlarm sourceSystolic
11 Monitoring NBP Starting and Stopping Measurements154During measurements the cuff pressure is displayed instead of the units and the repeat time. An early systolic value gives you a preliminary indication of the systolic blood pressure during measurement.Starting and Stopping MeasurementsUse the Setup menu or SmartKeys to start and stop measurements.CAUTION Use clinical judgement 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 Time1In the Setup NBP menu, select Mode and select Auto from the pop-up menu.2For an automatic measurement, select Repeat and set the time interval between two measurements.Enabling Sequence Mode and Setting Up The Sequence1In the Setup NBP menu, select Mode and select Sequence from the pop-up menu.2Select Setup Sequence to open the Setup Sequence window.Up to four measurement cycles can be setup which will run consecutively. For each cycle you can set the number of measurements and the interval between them. If you want to run less than four cycles in a sequence, you can set the number of measurements for one or more cycles to Off. 3Select each sequence in turn and select the number of measurements and the time interval between the measurements. 4To have measurements continue after the sequence, set the number of measurements for your last cycle to Continuous and this cycle will run indefinitely.CAUTION Be aware that, if none of the cycles are set to Continuous, NBP monitoring will end after the last measurement of the cycle.When the NBP measurement mode is set to Sequence, the repetition time for Auto mode cannot be changed. Choosing the NBP Alarm SourceYou 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 Setup NBP menu, select Al. from and choose from:
Switching Pulse from NBP On/Off 11 Monitoring NBP155If 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. When no value can be derived an NBP MEASURE FAILED INOP will be displayed.Switching Pulse from NBP On/OffIn 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. To switch the display of the pulse value on or off:♦In the NBP Setup menu select Pulse (NBP).Assisting Venous PunctureYou can use the NBP cuff to cause sub-diastolic pressure. The cuff deflates automatically after a set time (adult/pediatric 170 seconds, neonatal 85 seconds) if you do not deflate it.1In the NBP Setup menu select VeniPuncture.2Puncture vein and draw blood sample.3Reselect VeniPuncture to deflate the cuff.

1591313Monitoring Invasive PressureWARNING Measurements from an MMS extension connected to the monitor are not available when the monitor is running on battery power. They are only available when the monitor is powered by the external power supply (M8023A).CAUTION Do not use the MP2 in combination with other monitors using an M1006A pressure module and the HP1290A pressure transducer. This may cause interference on the respiration or invasive pressure signals. You can measure pressure using the monitor’s built-in pressure measurement (optional), or one of the MMS extensions.Setting up the Pressure Measurement1Plug in the pressure cable.2Prepare the flush solution.3Flush the system to exhaust all air from the tubing. Ensure that the transducer and stopcocks are free of air bubbles. WARNING If air bubbles appear in the tubing system, flush the system with the infusion solution again. Air bubbles may lead to a wrong pressure reading.Pressure connector
13 Monitoring Invasive Pressure Setting up the Pressure Measurement1604Connect the pressure line to the patient catheter.5If you are using an infusion pressure cuff with the pressure line, attach the pressure cuff to the fluid to be infused. Inflate it according to your standard hospital procedure, then start the infusion.6Position the transducer so that it is level with the heart, approximately at the level of the midaxillary line. WARNING If measuring intracranial pressure (ICP, IC1 or IC2) with a sitting patient, level the transducer with the top of the patient’s ear. Incorrect leveling may give incorrect values.Selecting a Pressure for MonitoringTell the monitor which pressure you want to monitor by selecting its pressure label. The label is a unique identifier for each type of pressure. When you choose a label, the monitor uses that label’s stored settings, for example color, wave scale and alarm settings. The label also determines which algorithm is used to process the pressure signal, so an incorrect label can lead to incorrect pressure values. 1In the Setup <Press> menu, select Label.2Select the appropriate label from the list.Extended Pressure Label SetThe following additional labels are available if Label Set is set to Full. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.

Zeroing the Pressure Transducer 13 Monitoring Invasive Pressure161Zeroing the Pressure TransducerTo avoid inaccurate pressure readings, the monitor requires a valid zero. Zero the transducer in accordance with your hospital policy (at least once per day). You must perform a zero: • when you use a new transducer or tubing• every time you reconnect the transducer cable to the monitor• if you think the monitor’s pressure readings are not correct. Zeroing ICP (or IC1/IC2)Your hospital guidelines may require you to zero the ICP transducer less frequently than other transducers, due to the need for aseptic conditions. When you zero an ICP transducer, the zero values are automatically stored and you will not be prompted to repeat the zero procedure. If you want to simultaneously zero all pressures except ICP, disconnect the ICP transducer from the monitor while zeroing. Reconnecting the transducer recalls the stored values.WARNING If you select the label ICP (or IC1/IC2), the measurement device uses the most recently stored zero. Therefore, make sure you zeroed the transducer correctly in accordance with the transducer manufacturer’s instructions and your hospital policy. When you use a transducer that you cannot rezero after placement, ensure that you keep the measuring device with the patient so that you are certain you have the correct zero data for this patient.Determining a Pressure’s Most Recent ZeroThe monitor displays the most recent zero on the status line. If this has “timed-out” after you have performed a zero, redisplay the information in the status line by entering the pressure’s setup menu.Zeroing a Pressure MeasurementWARNING Invasive pressure alarms (and pulse alarms, if derived from invasive pressure) are temporarily suppressed until 30 seconds after the transducer finishes zeroing.1Turn off the stopcock to the patient.2Vent the transducer to atmospheric pressure, to compensate for the static and atmospheric pressure exerted on the transducer.3In the setup menu for the pressure, select Zero <Press>. 4When you see the message <Press> zero done at <date and time> on the status line, (for example, ABP zero done at 13 Mar 02 23.35) close the stopcock to atmospheric pressure, and open the stopcock to the patient.CAUTION When using high frequency ventilation, ensure that the tubing from the ventilator does not touch the arterial line, or connect with it indirectly, while zeroing the pressure. This could cause small pressure variations which can interfere with the zero procedure.
13 Monitoring Invasive Pressure Adjusting the Calibration Factor162Zeroing All Pressures SimultaneouslyWARNING Before zeroing all pressures, make sure that all pressure transducers are vented to atmospheric pressure. If you are measuring pressures with more than one measuring device, using the Zero Press SmartKey to initiate the zeroing calls up a list of all active pressures. Select the pressure you want to zero or select All Press to zero all pressures simultaneously.Troubleshooting the ZeroThe status line lists the probable cause of an unsuccessful zero: Adjusting the Calibration FactorEach time you use a reusable transducer, compare the calibration factor written on your transducer with the calibration factor shown on the monitor. To ensure accurate measurement, they must be the same. 1In the Setup <Press> menu, select Cal. Factor.

1671414Monitoring Carbon DioxideWARNING • Measurements from an MMS extension connected to the monitor are not available when the monitor is running on battery power. They are only available when the monitor is powered by the external power supply (M8023A).•Only one CO2 measurement at a time is supported.Use the CO2 measurement to monitor the patient’s respiratory status and to control patient ventilation.There are two methods for measuring carbon dioxide in the patient’s airway:• Mainstream measurement uses a CO2 sensor attached to an airway adapter directly inserted into the patient’s breathing system. This method is available using the monitor’s built-in CO2 measurement (optional), the M3014A Capnography Extension or the M3016A Mainstream Extension.• Sidestream measurement takes a sample of the respiratory gas with a constant sample flow from the patient’s airway and analyzes it with a remote CO2 sensor. You can measure sidestream CO2 using the monitor’s built-in CO2 measurement (optional) or using the M3014A Capnography Extension, or the M3015A Microstream CO2 Extension.In both cases, the measurement principle is infrared transmission, where the intensity of infrared light passing the respiratory gas is measured with a photo detector. As some of the infrared light is absorbed by the CO2 molecules, the amount of light passing the gas probe depends on the concentration of the measured CO2. When using a wet ventilator circuit, monitor mainstream CO2 if available, in preference to sidestream CO2.The partial pressure is calculated from the gas concentration by multiplying the concentration value with the ambient pressure.The measurement provides:•a CO2 waveform.• an end tidal CO2 (etCO2) value: the CO2 value measured at the end of the expiration phase.• an inspired minimum CO2 (imCO2): the smallest value measured during inspiration.• an airway respiration rate (awRR): the number of breaths per minute, calculated from the CO2 waveform.
14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Measuring CO2 using the CO2 Option or M3014A168Depending on the Max Hold setting configured for your monitor, the etCO2 numeric shows either the highest CO2 value measured within the configured time period (Max Hold set to 10 sec or 20 sec) or the etCO2 numeric shows breath-to-breath value (Max Hold set to Off).WARNING Correlation: The etCO2 readings do not always correlate closely with paCO2, especially in neonatal patients and patients with pulmonary disease, pulmonary embolism or inappropriate ventilation.Pharmaceuticals in aerosols: Do not measure CO2 in the presence of pharmaceuticals in aerosols.Explosion Hazard: Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases, such as a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide. Use of the devices in such an environment may present an explosion hazard.Failure of operation: if the measurement or a sensor fails to respond as described, do not use it until the situation has been corrected by qualified personnel.Low etCO2 values: Leakages in the breathing system or sampling system may cause the displayed etCO2 values to be significantly too low. Always connect all components securely and check for leaks according to standard clinical procedures. Displacement of the nasal or combined nasal oral cannulas can cause lower than actual etCO2 readings. Even with combined nasal oral cannulas, the etCO2 readings may be slightly lower than actual in patients breathing through the mouth only.Measuring CO2 using the CO2 Option or M3014AThe monitor (with the CO2 option) or the M3014A Capnography Extension measures partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patient’s expired gas using the mainstream method or the sidestream method. The mainstream CO2 measurement can be used, with appropriate accessories, with intubated adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. The sidestream CO2 measurement can be used, with appropriate accessories, with intubated and nonintubated adult, pediatric, infant and neonatal patients. With intubated patients, a sample of the respiratory gas is drawn from the patient’s breathing circuit through an airway adapter and a gas sampling tube. With non-intubated patients, the gas sample is drawn through a nasal or oral-nasal cannula.WARNING Altitude Setting: The monitor is not equipped with automatic barometric pressure compensation. Before the CO2 measurement is used for the first time, the altitude must be set to the correct value. An incorrect altitude setting will result in incorrect CO2 readings. The CO2 readings will typically deviate 5% for every 1000m difference.Electrical Shock Hazard: Do not open the monitor or measurement device. Contact with exposed electrical components may cause electrical shock. Always turn off and remove power before cleaning the sensor, monitor or measurement device. Do not use a damaged sensor or one with exposed electrical contacts.

Measuring Microstream CO2 using M3015A 14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide173Measuring Microstream CO2 using M3015AThe M3015A Microstream CO2 Extension measures the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patient’s expired gas using Microstream technology.The measurement is equipped with an automatic barometric pressure compensation.Preparing to Measure Microstream CO2 Use appropriate accessories for:• the patient type (adult, pediatric or neonatal),• the ventilation situation (including humidification)• the duration - short term use, up to 24 hours (typically OR), or long term use (typically ICU). All accessories are for single patient use only. Using Microstream AccessoriesThe Microstream measurement can be operated with the special Microstream accessories only. Refer to the instructions for use provided with the accessory.For intubated patient with non-humidified ventilation, you can use a Microstream FilterLine set. For humidified ventilation, use a FilterLine H Set.For non-intubated patients, the gas sample is taken through a Nasal FilterLine, or a Smart CapnoLine (which is a combined oral-nasal FilterLine). In parallel to the measurement of the CO2, oxygen (O2) may be delivered to the patient to support gas exchange. This is done by using an O2/CO2 FilterLine, or a Smart CapnoLine O2 (a combined oral-nasal O2/CO2 FilterLine).Using the FilterLine and Airway Adapter1Attach the female Luer connector to the CO2 inlet connector on the extension by pushing the socket cover down and screwing the connector into place.2Check that the FilterLine is not kinked.3Change the FilterLine if a CO2OCCLUSION INOP appears on the monitor or if the readings become extremely erratic. inlet connector coveroutlet connector

1771515Assigning Two Devices to OnePatientIt is possible to assign a monitor and a telemetry device to the same patient, resulting in the information from both devices being combined in one sector at the Information Center. This is called “pairing” and when a telemetry device and a monitor are paired, the measurement data from the telemetry device will be displayed on the monitor screen. A telemetry device can be:• any Philips telemetry device (only for indirect connections, see below).• a TRx+/TRx+ Intellivue Telemetry system transceiver.How Can You Combine Devices?•With an indirect connection, using standard telemetry transmission - the data are sent to the monitor via the Information Center and arrive with a delay of several seconds at the monitor. •With a direct connection to the monitor, via a short range radio link - the data arrive with a minimal delay on the monitor screen.Indirect Connection - Manual PairingThe telemetry device can be paired with the monitor at the Information Center or at the monitor. For detailed information regarding pairing and configuration at the Information Center, see the Information Center Instructions for Use.To pair the monitor with a telemetry device at the monitor:1Select Main Setup then Measurements 2Select Telemetry The Setup Telemetry menu will appear with only one entry Paired Equipment.3Enter here the equipment label of the telemetry device to be paired. Pairing at the monitor is only possible when the monitor already has a connection to the Information Center and the Information Center software version allows pairing at the monitor.Telemetry Data WindowThe measurements from the telemetry device are shown in the telemetry data window on the monitor when there is no direct connection via short range radio link.
15 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient How Can You Combine Devices?178WARNING All data presented in the telemetry data window are delayed for several seconds. If you need realtime data, for example for defibrillation, always use the monitor ECG instead of telemetry. As long as the ECG is being measured with the telemetry device there will be no ECG signal available at the ECG Sync Pulse output.Direct Connection - Automatic PairingThe following direct connections are possible:• a TRx+4841A Intellivue Telemetry system transceiver connected via short range radio (SRR) link to an MP2 with SRR capability.If a telemetry device is assigned to a monitor via a direct short range radio link, the monitor and the telemetry device are automatically paired at the Information Center (if configured).The measured data from the telemetry device — ECG and, if available, SpO2T— will appear on the monitor screen and will be sent through the monitor to the Information Center. The ECG waves and numerics appear in place of the monitor’s own ECG, and SpO2T is displayed as an additional measurement. When ECG is measured with the telemetry device there will be no Respiration measurement derived.WARNING • When ECG is being measured with a telemetry device directly connected to the monitor, there will be no ECG signal available at the ECG analog output or ECG Sync Pulse output and no synchronization marks on the ECG wave. A No ECG Out message will appear in the ECG wave channel.• When a telemetry device is connected to the monitor, arrhythmia relearning is initiated, and again when the telemetry device is disconnected.Telemetry data windowNBPSys.Auto 10 min etCO2imCO2* TELE ALARMTELE INOPDelayed** HR 140>120SOME ECG ALRMS OFFHR %SpO2T

See the "Enhancing Telemetry Monitoring with the Monitor" chapter.Assigning a Telemetry Transceiver with an SRR Adapter to a Monitor Monitors which have this capability have a short range radio symbol on the model label. A telemetry device with a short range radio adapter can be assigned to a monitor directly. To assign a telemetry device to a monitor:1Press the Check button on the telemetry device. The measurement selection key on the monitor will change to show the “assign telemetry” icon2Select the assign telemetry icon.3In the Assign Telemetry Device menu, select the correct equipment label for the telemetry device.4Check that the assignment is successful and that transmission has begun:•A Tele Device assigned message appears on the monitor• a tone sounds at the telemetry device and the Laeds Off indicators light• the ECG wave appears on the monitorTo confirm that the correct telemetry device has been assigned, open the ECG Setup menu. The title of the menu contains the equipment label of the telemetry device; check that this is the correct label.If a monitor is already paired to another device, you cannot assign a telemetry device to that monitor. If the telemetry device goes out-of-range or loses the short range radio connection, it will switch over to standard telemetry transmission to the Information Center. In this case, the telemetry data is displayed in the Telemetry Data Window as described above.If a monitor is manually paired with a telemetry device with a short range radio adapter, the short range radio assignment will be automatically made.If a telemetry device disappears from the list in the Assign Telemetry Device menu, press the Check button on the telemetry device again. If the monitor is not configured to be used with a telemetry device, the “assign telemetry” icon will appear crossed out . If the devices are unpaired, the short range radio connection will be ended.WARNING Short range radio connections are subject to interruption due to interference from other radio sources in the vicinity, including microwaves, bluetooth devices and DECT phones. Outside the operating frequency band and 5% above and below, i.e. the exclusion band according IEC 60601-1-2, section 36.202.3a)4), the short range radio connection is immune up to 3V/m in the frequency range from 80 MHz to 2.0 GHz and up to 1V/m in the frequency range from 2.0 to 2.3 GHz. 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 TELE DISCONNECT INOP.
15 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient How Can You Combine Devices?180Correct channel configuration is important, refer to the Configuration Guide for details.If a TELE DISCONNECT INOP occurs when the telemetry device goes out-of-range, the INOP will disappear (without being silenced) as soon as the ECG signal from the telemetry device is available at the Information Center via standard telemetry transmission.SpO2T Manual ModeWhen a telemetry device with a short range radio connection supplies SpO2T to the monitor, the monitor will have a manual measurement mode available. This allows SpO2 measurements to be made on request and not continuously, helping to save battery power. To ensure there is no gap in SpO2 measurements when moving from standard telemetry transmission to short range radio transmission, the measurement mode will always be set to continuous in this situation unless manual mode is set in both the telemetry device and the monitor. Unassigning a Telemetry Transceiver with SRR Adapter at the MonitorIf a monitor and a telemetry device are paired, the assignment and the short range radio connection will be ended when the devices are unpaired (see “Unpairing the Monitor and Telemetry Device” on page 180). If the monitor does not have a connection to an Information Center, you must manually end the assignment and the short range radio connection. 1Select the Measurement Selection key.2In the Measurement Selection window, select the Tele pop-up key.3In the Tele device window select Unassign Tele.Refer also to “Use Models With Telemetry” on page 202 for further related use modes.Unpairing the Monitor and Telemetry DeviceIf the patient will no longer be monitored with the telemetry device, or only with the telemetry device and no longer with the monitor, you need to end the device pairing. After unpairing, the Information Center will receive data exclusively from the monitor or from the telemetry device:♦select the Unpair To Mon. SmartKey to end pairing and have the Information Center receive the measurement data from the monitor ♦select the Unpair To Tele SmartKey to end pairing and have the Information Center receive the measurement data from the telemetry deviceor ♦use the Unpair function at the Information Center.NOTE The Unpair SmartKeys and pop-up keys appear only on the monitor which is directly involved in pairing.

General Telemetry-related Functions 15 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient183ECG Source Tracking at the Information CenterThe Information Center continuously checks whether a valid ECG signal is coming from the monitor or the telemetry device. If you unplug the ECG patient cable from the monitor and plug it into the telemetry device, the Information Center will automatically switch to monitoring the ECG from the telemetry device. At the monitor, its own ECG measurement will be deactivated — the ECG Setup menu will no longer be accessible.When you unplug the patient cable from the telemetry device and plug it back into the monitor again, the Information Center will switch back to monitoring the ECG from the monitor. The ECG measurement will be activated again at the monitor. Note that in this case, as the screen switches back to the monitor’s own measurements, the SpO2T measurement (if present) will no longer be displayed.In the same way the source is tracked when a telemetry device is directly connected to a monitor, then disconnected and vice versa. In case of ambiguity, a yellow INOP message !!CHECK ECG SOURCE indicates that more than one valid ECG source is active. Synchronized SettingsIf ECG is measured at the monitor, and then the patient is connected to a telemetry device for monitoring, the Information Center will use the monitor settings for the telemetry device. In general, the following settings will be synchronized:WARNING • Not all settings are synchronized; after changing the ECG source, always check that the settings are appropriate.• Va and Vb leads are reset to default (V2, V5) if the configured Va or Vb lead for the telemetry device is not one of V1 through V6Heart Rate HR/Pulse Alarm On/Off, Heart Rate High/Low Limit, ECG Primary Lead, Secondary Lead, Va Lead1, Vb Lead1, Lead Placement1.Va and Vb leads are reset to default (V2, V5) if the configured Va or Vb lead for the telemetry device is notone of V1 through V6.Arrhythmia Analysis Mode, Asystole Threshold, Pause Threshold, VTach HR, VTach Run, PVCs/min, Vent.

In this way, settings continuity is preserved when the ECG source changes. Settings synchronization can only take place when there is no patient information mismatch between the monitor and the Information Center. If a Check ECG Settings or CHECK PAIRING INOP appears always check that the ECG settings, especially the paced setting, are appropriate for your patient.
1851616Enhancing TelemetryMonitoring with the MonitorYou can use a monitor without a network connection to view measurement data from a telemetry transceiver at the bedside. You can also use the monitor to make additional measurements and send this measurement data to the Information Center via the telemetry transceiver. The monitor can so be used as a mobile viewer and measurement device, and is set up to simplify the assign/unassign procedures when used with short range radio. Monitor and Telemetry Transceiver RequirementsThe monitor and the telemetry transceiver need a direct connection via a short range radio link. Not all revisions of the telemetry transceiver can be used directly with the monitor, if you connect a device that cannot be used you will see a TELE UNSUPPORTED INOP. Data Sent to the Information CenterThe data sent to the Information Center includes numerics from NBP, SpO2, Pulse from SpO2 and predictive temperature. INOPs from these measurements, battery INOPs and a general INOP generated by alarms from any other measurement (MORE BED ALARMS) will also be transmitted.NOTE The monitor must be configured appropriately to support direct connection to a telemetry transceiver; refer to the Configuration Guide for details.Changing Assignment to a New Telemetry Transceiver1Assign the telemetry transceiver to the monitor; see “Assigning a Telemetry Transceiver with an SRR Adapter to a Monitor” on page 179. 2Make the required measurements; the data will be automatically sent to the Information Center via the telemetry transceiver. It is not necessary to unassign the telemetry transceiver. This will happen automatically when the next telemetry transceiver is assigned. The patient is also discharged (if configured), ensuring that the measurement data is erased before data from the next patient appears. Always assign the telemetry transceiver before you start making measurements.

This sample ABP trend shows the continuously-measured values for the systolic, diastolic and mean pressures displayed in band form. Documenting Trends To print a Vital Signs or Graphical Trends report, ♦in the Vital Signs or Graph Trends window, select the pop-up key Print to print a report for the trend group currently on the monitor screen. Reports include the most recent information in the trends database and extend backwards in time according to the selected trend interval and your monitor’s configuration. Trends reports can be printed on central or local printers. Trends DatabasesThe trend databases store information for up to 16 measurements for up to 48 hours.The values in the trends database are stored as measured by the monitor, they are not averaged values. The trend resolution defines how often a value is stored. In general, if more than one value is available for storage in the trends database, the most recent value is used. Some values in the trends are marked with arrows. This indicates that for this time period, more values were available and the most recent one is shown.Example database configuration In this example, we see that the monitor stores the most recent data at the highest resolution, older data are stored at a lower resolution. “4 hours @ 12 second resolution” means that the monitor stores trend data every 12 seconds, for the most recent four hours. ABP24050
Screen Trends 17 Trends193Aperiodic Trends DatabaseAperiodic trends do not count toward the maximum number of trends allowed by the trend configuration. Trend data for aperiodic measurements is stored in a separate database and timestamped with the measurement time. Trending Multiple-Value MeasurementsSome measurements generate multiple values, for example invasive pressure measurements can provide systolic, diastolic, and mean values. These values are trended as separate measurements.Screen TrendsTrends configured to display permanently on special monitor Screens are called screen trends. The selection and number of measurement waves in the Screen Trend segment depends on your monitor configuration. Screen trends are color-coded to match the measurement wave and numerics, and they can be viewed in graphical, tabular, histogram or horizon format.If you do not see screen trends on the monitor Screen, select a different Screen, one that is configured to show screen trends. Screen trends are only available on specially designed Screens.Screen Trend information is taken from the Trends database. If you do not see a Screen Trend for a particular measurement on the Screen, check the trend priority list to ensure that this measurement is being trended. - 48 hours- 24 hours- 4 hours nowtime4 hours @12 second resolution24 hours @ 1 minute resolution48 hours @ 5 minute resolution

17 Trends Screen Trends196Horizon ViewThe horizon view presents trend information superimposed over a defined baseline or base range. This helps you visualize changes in your patient’s condition since the baseline was set. The horizon view is made up of: • a horizon, drawn in white, as a reference point or baseline to help you visualize changes in your patient’s condition. The horizon can be set to represent your patient’s current condition, or a target condition and can be a single value or a range. • a graphical trend, displaying patient data for the set TrendTime (1).• a trend indicator arrow, indicating how the patient trend has developed in the set time period (10 minutes, 5 minutes or 2 minutes) (2).• a deviation bar, showing how the currently measured value deviates from the set horizon (3). The height of the deviation bar is an indication of the extent of the change in your patient’s condition relative to the (horizon) baseline. Your monitor may not be configured to show all elements of the screen trend horizon view.Setting the HorizonThe horizon is the reference value to which deviations in the measurements are compared.1To set the horizon, select the horizon trend2Select–Set High Horizon to select the upper horizon value. If the high and low horizon values are the same, the horizon is a baseline - if the values are different the horizon is a range.–Set Low Horizon to select the lower horizon value.–Auto Horizon to set the horizon for the selected horizon trend to the currently-measured value–Auto All to reset the horizon for all horizon screen trends to the currently-measured values–Set Horizon to set the horizon to a specific value from a pop-up list.Setting the Horizon Trend ScaleThe horizon trend scale is defined with respect to the horizon. If your horizon is set to 100 and you select 20 as the horizon scale delta, the upper limit of the horizon scale will be 120 and lower limit 80.To set the horizon trend scale delta,1Select the horizon trend.NBPSys.123

Dashed Lines on Reports 19 Printing Patient Reports2072Select Printer Status to toggle between the settings Enabled and Disabled. If you set this to Disabled, no reports will be printed to the named printer. If the monitor detects that no printer of a particular type is available, the Enabled/Disabled setting will automatically be set to Disabled and “grayed out”.Dashed Lines on ReportsIf a section of a wave on a report is drawn with dashed lines, this tells you that a setting that affects the appearance of the wave on the screen was changed while the report was printing. For example, if you change the wave scale while a report is printing, the wave scale and wave size are changed immediately on the monitor screen and on the report. To indicate that the scale information printed at the beginning of the report no longer matches the currently used scale, the wave will be printed using dashed lines, starting from the moment the change took place. Some examples of settings that cause dashed lines in reports if changed during printing are: Filter mode, ECG lead placement, wave scale, measurement unit, paced/non-paced setting, and measurement mode. Note that as ECG waves are drawn with a fixed gain on reports (either 10 mm/mV or 20 mm/mV), changing the ECG wave scale will not cause dashed-line reports. To avoid dashed lines on reports, wait 15 seconds after changing a setting before you trigger a report.Unavailable Printer: Re-routing ReportsIf you send a report to be printed on a printer that is not available, for example, because it has run out of paper, this print job is suspended and stored in the monitor’s memory.If the target device of this print job was set to Unspecified, the monitor will periodically try to resend the print job to the first printer listed in the Setup Printers menu under Printer that is set to Enabled and that has paper of the correct size. To allow the report to print, you must either solve the problem with the target printer, or re-route the print job to another printer with paper of the correct size. To re-route a print job,♦Enable the new target printer by selecting it in the Setup Printers menu and toggling to Enabled. As the monitor tries to send the report to the printers in the order they are listed, you must make sure that all the printers above the new target printer are disabled.If the target device of the print job was set to a specific printer, re-routing is not possible.

2172121Using BatteriesWhen monitoring a patient, one Philips M4607A rechargeable Lithium Ion battery must always be inserted into the battery compartment on the right side of the monitor. This applies even when you are running the monitor from the external power supply. The battery seals the battery compartment, thereby preventing the ingress of fluids or foreign bodies. A severe yellow INOP (!!INSERT BATTERY) will be issued if the monitor is connected to AC mains without a battery fully inserted in the battery compartment. This INOP will persist until a battery is loaded.To use the monitor with battery power, disconnect the MSL cable (connecting the external power supply) from the monitor.You can switch between battery-powered and mains-powered (AC) operation without interrupting monitoring. The battery recharges automatically when the monitor is connected to the external power supply (M8023A).Battery compartment
21 Using Batteries Battery Power Indicators218Battery Power IndicatorsThe battery LED and battery status information on the Main Screen, in combination with INOP messages and prompts, help you keep track of the battery power status. The indicators always show the remaining capacity in relation to the battery’s actual maximum capacity, which may lessen as the battery ages. You can see the actual capacity in the Battery Status window. Battery LEDThe battery LED on the front panel of the monitor is indicated by a battery symbol.The battery LED is yellow during charging and switches off when the battery is charged.Battery Status on the Main ScreenBattery status information can be configured to display permanently on all Screens. It shows the status of the battery, with the battery power remaining and, when the battery is not charging, an estimate of the monitoring time this represents. Battery power gauge: This shows the remaining battery power. It is divided into sections, each representing 20% of the total power. If three sections are filled, as in this example, this indicates that 60% battery power remains. If no battery is detected, a blank battery gauge marked with a flashing red X is displayed. If no data is available from the battery, a question mark is shown in the gauge.Battery LED Colors If the monitor is connected to the external power supply (M8023A), this meansIf the monitor is running on battery power, this meansYellow battery chargingRed, flashing less than 10 minutes power remainingRed, flashes intermittently battery or charger malfunction battery malfunctionBattery LED

24 Specifications Safety and Performance Tests266Safety and Performance TestsYou must observe any national regulations on the qualification of the testing personnel and suitable measuring and testing facilities. See the maintenance section for a list of required tests. Safety and performance tests, and what to do if the instrument does not meet these specifications are described in the Installation and Service guide.Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) SpecificationsTake special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) when using medical electrical equipment. You must operate your monitoring equipment according to the EMC information provided in this book. Portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment.Accessories Compliant with EMC StandardsAll accessories listed in the accessories section comply, in combination with the monitor, with the requirements of IEC 60601-1-2:2001 + A1:2004.WARNING Using accessories other than those specified may result in increased electromagnetic emission or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the monitoring equipment.Electromagnetic EmissionsThe monitor is suitable for use in the electromagnetic environment specified in the table below. You must ensure that it is used in such an environmentAvoiding Electromagnetic Interference (Resp)The respiration (Resp) measurement is a very sensitive measurement that measures a very small signal. Technological limitations do not allow higher immunity levels than 1 V/m for radiated RF electromagnetic fields and 1 Vrms for conducted disturbances induced by RF fields. Electromagnetic fields with field strengths above 1 V/m and conducted disturbances above 1 Vrms may cause erroneous measurements. Therefore Philips recommends that you avoid using electrically radiating equipment in the close proximity of this measurement. Emissions test Compliance Avoiding Electromagnetic InterferenceRadio Frequency (RF) emissions Group 1 The monitor uses RF energy only for its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipmentRF emissions CISPR 11for the MP2 or X2 with all accessories except the M2741A Sidestream CO2 sensorClass B The monitor is suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments and those directly connected to the public low-voltage supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.RF emissions CISPR 11for the MP2 or X2 whenever used with the M2741A Sidestream CO2 sensorClass A The monitor is suitable for use in all establishments other than those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.

24 Specifications Safety and Performance Tests268Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the monitor, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation appropriate for the frequency of the transmitter.Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range.Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with this symbol:Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular, cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the monitor is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the monitor should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the monitor. These guidelines may not apply in all situations.
