Warnings15Warnings Keep all pacemaker patients under close or constant observation. Pacemaker signalscan differ among pacemakers, ICDs, or CRT devices. The Association for theAdvancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) cautions: “In some devices, ratemeters may continue to count the pacemaker rate during occurrences of cardiac arrestor some arrhythmias. Do not rely entirely upon rate meter alarms”.Other RF radiating devices (such as high powered RFID readers and Bluetoothdevices) that are in close proximity with the ViSi Mobile Monitor may interfere with theMonitor’s wireless communications.  During such interference, the Monitor continues tomonitor and will alarm locally.  If wireless communication is affected when using theMonitor in close proximity with another RF radiating device, move the other deviceaway from the Monitor or discontinue use of the other device.After monitoring has been stopped on the ViSi Mobile Monitor, removing the patientfrom the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer cannot be undone.  Once removed, the patient willno longer be available on the Remote Viewer.All wireless devices are susceptible to radio frequency interference that can disruptconnectivity. If excessive ViSi Mobile Monitoring System disconnections are observed,notify your biomedical engineer. Excessive disconnections can cause interruptedpatient monitoring; disconnections must be investigated and corrected.Locate the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer so that clinicians can view it without obstruction.Remove any objects that obstruct the display.A qualified clinician must always be in direct view of the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer.  Ifthe Remote Viewer display is blank, contact your biomedical engineer immediately forservice.If a ViSi Mobile Monitor or the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer display screen is scratchedor damaged, immediately send it for servicing. A scratched or damaged screen caninterfere with patient monitoring.Always consult Sotera Wireless before performing any changes to the ViSi MobileAppliance. Server changes can result in communication failure between components ofthe ViSi Mobile Monitoring System. If system communication stops, monitor patients atthe ViSi Mobile Monitors.Perform a risk assessment and verification before implementing a change ormodification to the IT infrastructure. Changes to IT network configurations cancompromise continuous vital signs monitoring and alarm delivery.
Warnings 16Warnings Vital SignsIf a vital signs measurement is questionable, retake the measurement.  If the result isstill questionable, use a different method of measurement.ViSi Mobile arterial measurements have not been clinically tested in the presence ofactual or ventricular arrhythmias.  Use alternative BP methods if these arrythmias arepresent.Chest Sensor Cable:  ECG, Respiration, Temperature (Skin)Use all of the same type of high quality ECG electrodes on the patient. Mixing ECGelectrode types can adversely affect ECG monitoring.Avoid placing the ViSi Mobile Cable Securements and ECG electrodes over areas ofabrasions, irritation, or other sensitive areas. If possible, remove, reposition, andreplace ECG electrodes and Cable Securements if the patient complains of pain/itchingat the sites.The ViSi Mobile Monitor does not provide automated arrhythmia analysis. As a result,certain arrhythmias may cause the Monitor to display variable heart rates. If frequentarrhythmias are suspected, their presence should be confirmed by visual observation ofthe ECG waveform or another method, such as a 12-lead ECG.The ViSi Mobile Monitor does not have automated ST segment analysis, therefore, if achange in the ST segment of the ECG waveform is suspected, it should be confirmedby visual observation of the ECG waveform or another method, such as a 12-lead ECG.Pacemaker signals can differ among pacemakers, ICDs, or CRT devices. TheAssociation for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) cautions: “In somedevices, rate meters may continue to count the pacemaker rate during occurrences ofcardiac arrest or some arrhythmias. Do not rely entirely upon rate meter alarms”. Allpacemaker patients should be kept under close or constant observation.External pacemakers or other external electrical stimulators may cause the ViSi MobileMonitor to produce erroneous results.RESP (chest wall motion) can continue in the absence of ventilation (obstructedairway). Do not rely on the RESP alone to determine adequacy of ventilation.  Othervital signs, such as HR and SpO2, should be assessed as well.TEMP monitoring with the ViSi Mobile Monitoring System is intended for trendingpurposes only and is not intended to replace core temperature monitoring. Beforemaking clinical decisions based on the skin temperature measurement, verify themeasurement using another clinically acceptable method of core temperaturemeasurement.
Warnings17Warnings Impedance pneumography for the determination of respiration (RESP) is notrecommended for use in the presence of mechanically induced, high frequencyventilation.Cuff Module / NIBPViSi Mobile Disposable Cuffs are for single patient use only. To avoid possible crosscontamination, do not reuse a Cuff on a patient other than the original patient.The ViSi Mobile Disposable Cuff should be snug enough to support the Cuff Modulewhile not impairing circulation when deflated.Avoid applying the ViSi Mobile Disposable Cuff over a wound as this can cause furtherinjury.Avoid applying the ViSi Mobile Disposable Cuff on any limb where intravascular accessor therapy, or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt, is present because of temporaryinterference to blood flow which could result in injury to the patient.Take care in the application of the ViSi Mobile Disposable Cuff when applying the Cuffto an arm on the same side of a mastectomy.  Recommend using the ViSi MobileMonitoring System on the opposite arm.ViSi Mobile NIBP measurements have not been clinically tested in the presence ofactual or ventricular arrhythmias.  Use alternative BP methods if these arrythmias arepresent.Inflate the ViSi Mobile Disposable Cuff only after proper application to the patient’s limb.If you are uncertain of the reliability of an NIBP measurement, repeat the measurement.If the reading is still suspect, use another method to measure the blood pressure.SpO2Oxygen saturation measurements using SpO2 are dependent on proper sensorplacement, exposure to ambient light conditions, and general patient conditions. Beforemaking clinical decisions based on SpO2 measurements, verify the measurement usinganother clinically acceptable method, such as arterial blood gas analysis.High ambient light condition, including direct sunlight, may interfere with theperformance of the ViSi Mobile Thumb Sensor.Low perfusion, electrosurgical devices, dysfunctional haemoglobin, the presence ofcertain dyes and inappropriate positioning of the ViSi Mobile Thumb Sensor may resultin erroneous measurements.
Warnings 18Warnings Alarms / AlertsWhen alarms are paused, there is no notification of a potentially clinically significantchange in the patient's vital signs. Observe the patient by other means when alarms arepaused.When alarms are turned OFF, there is no notification of a potentially clinically significantchange in the patient's vital signs. Observe the patient by other means when alarmlimits are set to OFF.Once Auto Set is selected (on the ViSi Mobile Monitor), review the newly calculatedalarm limits carefully before deciding to confirm or cancel the new alarm limits.  Oncenew alarm limits are confirmed on the ViSi Mobile Monitor, they cannot be changedback to the original pre-set limits from the ViSi Mobile Monitor.  Use the ViSi MobileRemote Viewing Device to change the alarm limits back to the original pre-set limits.When the ViSi Mobile Monitor is not connected or loses wireless connection to the ViSiMobile Appliance, the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer does not receive patient alarms oralerts from the ViSi Mobile Monitor.When the last source of monitoring is lost due to equipment (such as thumb sensor off,ECG leads off, all sensors disconnected) the visual annunciation of the alert will nothave an audible component.Line isolation monitor transients may resemble actual cardiac waveforms and inhibitheart rate alarms.  Ensure correct electrode placement and cable arrangement tominimize line isolation monitor transients.To avoid possible hearing damage, do not place your ear too close to the ViSi MobileMonitor that is alarming audibly.When the ViSi Mobile Monitor alarms or alerts, check the patient first to confirm thatthere is no immediate danger to the patient.When testing the speaker at the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer, if the tone does not soundor it is not loud enough check the speaker volume is turned up.  If the sound is still notsound loud enough, immediately contact a biomedical engineer. The test indicates howalarm and alert tones sound at the Remote Viewer. If the volume is inadequate,clinicians could miss alarms and alerts.User MaintenanceTo avoid contaminating or infecting personnel, the environment or other equipment,make sure to disinfect and decontaminate the ViSi Mobile Monitoring Systemcomponents appropriately before disposing of them in accordance with your country’slaws for equipment containing electrical and electronic parts.
Warnings19Warnings Wireless CommunicationsWhen the ViSi Mobile Monitor is not configured to connect to the facility’s network orloses wireless connection to the ViSi Mobile Appliance, the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewerdoes not receive patient alarms or alerts from the ViSi Mobile Monitor.If you have any concerns regarding a cyber security breach or vulnerability, contactSotera Wireless or an authorized Sotera Wireless representative in your area.Off-The-Shelf (OTS) SoftwareThe use of any software other than those specified in this manual will violate the safety,effectiveness and design controls of this medical device and such use may result in anincreased risk to users and patients.

374.  Wireless Monitoring4.1  Wireless Monitoring with ViSi Mobile Remote ViewerViSi Mobile Monitors can operate either as standalone devices or in communication with the ViSi MobileRemote Viewer through the ViSi Mobile Appliance.  While the ViSi Mobile Monitor is connected to thenetwork, patient data gathered by the monitor is continuously stored by the ViSi Mobile Appliance.  Thisdata is accessible from the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer.  Additional tasks may be performed remotelyfrom the Remote Viewer:• Review patient data (vital signs, alarm limits, etc)• Edit the patient demographics data (name, date of birth, gender, etc)• Assign a room/bed locationWhen the ViSi Mobile Monitor is not connected or loses wireless connection to theViSi Mobile Appliance, the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer does not receive patientalarms or alerts from the ViSi Mobile Monitor.
Communication with ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer 384.2  Communication with ViSi Mobile Remote ViewerViSi Mobile Monitor’s wireless networking transmission methods are based on the 802.11b standard. Thisspecification has the marketing name of Wi-Fi.  Security is provided by the implementation of WPA2-PSKsecurity protocols.  For specifications pertaining to the wireless radio, see section WirelessCommunications / Radio on page 118.  The ViSi Mobile Monitor’s wireless communications depends onyour hospital’s IT infrastructure for connectivity to the ViSi Mobile Appliance, where all data from theMonitors are aggregated, stored, and interfaced to external systems.  For  requirements, see Section11.3.7 ViSi Mobile Appliance on page 124.  A risk analysis summary for use by your hospital’s ITdepartment is provided in Section 11.7 Wireless Network Risk Mitigation on page 140 to assist with ISO80001-1 compliance.  For additional information or assistance, please contact Sotera Wireless or anauthorized Sotera Wireless representative in your area.The ViSi Mobile Monitor automatically establishes connection whenever the monitor is within range of thenetwork.  Verify that the ViSi Mobile Monitor displays the following symbol (in green) to indicate theconnection to the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer has been established:     For information on monitoring vital signs, refer to the ViSi Mobile Monitor User Manual, reference#: 95-10134 (USB). When the wireless connector symbol is yellow, the ViSi Mobile Monitor isunable to connect to the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer (via the ViSi MobileAppliance).
Monitoring a patient outside of network range394.3  Monitoring a patient outside of network rangeWhile the ViSi Mobile Monitor typically continually communicates with the ViSi Mobile Appliance andViSi Mobile Remote Viewer, occasionally communication may be lost during ambulation or transportoutside the wireless coverage area.  When the ViSi Mobile Monitor goes outside of the network range,monitoring continues locally.  The ViSi Mobile Monitor provides local Respiration, NIBP, HR/PR andSpO2 alarms and alerts.  When this happens an alert occurs at the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer with themessage “CONNECTIVITY LOST”.When the monitored patient is again within range of the network, the ViSi Mobile Monitor automaticallyreconnects to the network and wireless monitoring resumes.  Be aware that it can take a few minutes torestore communication with the network and resume the communication of patient vital signs data.Moving the ViSi Mobile Monitor out of the network range will break the radiolink, immediately stopping communication of patient vital signs data to theViSi Mobile Remote Viewer.

697.  Alarms7.1  IntroductionThe ViSi Mobile Monitoring System provides a comprehensive alarm system that alarms on changes to thepatient’s physiologic status (alarms) and technical alarms (alerts). The system provides default alarm limits for physiological alarms.  The clinician can manually change thealarm limits for each patient to provide individualized care.Note: Changes made to the alarm limits from the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer do not come intoeffect until the ViSi Mobile Monitor has received the change request.Technical alarms (alerts) are provided to notify the clinician of situations that may impede the ability tomonitor your patient.7.1.1  System Alarm ManagementDuring the installation of the ViSi Mobile Monitoring System, alarm configurations may be modified toconform to the alarm policies set by the clinical care unit. General Alarm Management RulesThe following general alarm management rules pertain to the ViSi Mobile Monitoring System:• All ViSi Mobile Monitoring System alarms conform to IEC 60601-1-8.• Alarms and alerts originate from the ViSi Mobile Monitor (worn by the patient).• Silencing/acknowledging a patient’s alarm or alert suspends the audio tones for up to 2 minutes.When a new alarm/alert occurs during the 2 minute silenced/acknowledged period, the new alarm/alert will be immediately annunciated.Note: When the clinician silences/acknowledges an alarm/alert, all active alarms/alerts in progresswill also be silenced/acknowledged for the 2 minutes.  The clinician does not need to silence/acknowledge each alarm/alert individually.• Alarm annunciation may be turned off for an indefinite period of time.  This disables theannunciation of alarms and alerts on both the ViSi Mobile Monitor and the Remote Viewer for the“off” duration.  Turning the alarms off must be done directly from the ViSi Mobile Monitor (wornby the patient), however, alarms may be turned back on from either the ViSi Mobile Monitor or theRemote Viewer.• Alarm annunciation may be paused for 2 minutes.  This disables the annunciation of alarms andalerts on both the ViSi Mobile Monitor (worn by the patient) and the Remote Viewer for thepaused duration.  Pausing the alarms must be done directly from the ViSi Mobile Monitor (worn by
Introduction 70the patient), however, alarms may be resumed from either the ViSi Mobile Monitor or the RemoteViewer.Note: When the annunciation of alarms/alerts has been turned off or paused, certain importantalarms and alerts will continue to annunciate (known as break-through alarms and alerts).These are generally equipment alerts that inhibit the ability to monitor the patientappropriately.Note: When alarms/alerts are paused, alarms/alerts currently in progress will no longer beannunciated.  The annunciation of any new alarms/alerts will be disabled for the 2 minuteduration.Note: When alarms/alerts are silenced/acknowledged, the audio tone will be silenced.  Any newalarms/alerts occurring during the 2 minute silenced/acknowledged duration will beimmediately annunciated.In Network RulesWhen the ViSi Mobile Monitor is in network and connected to the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer:• When the ViSi Mobile Monitor is connected to the Remote Viewer, the audio alarm and alert toneswill be deferred from the Monitor to the Remote Viewer, for a pre-configured length of time.Note: Audio tones for life threatening alarms will not be delayed.• Alarms/alerts may be silenced/acknowledged from either the ViSi Mobile Monitor or RemoteViewer.Note: Silencing/acknowledging a life threatening alarm directly from the ViSi Mobile RemoteViewer will only silence/acknowledge the alarm on the Remote Viewer.  To silence/acknowledge the life threatening alarm on the ViSi Mobile Monitor, the clinician mustsilence/acknowledge the alarm directly from the Mobile Monitor (worn by the patient).• When alarm annunciation has been turned off, alarm annunciation may be turned back on fromeither the ViSi Mobile Monitor or Remote Viewer.  Turning alarm annunciation off can only bedone directly from the ViSi Mobile Monitor (worn by the patient).• When alarm annunciation has been temporarily paused, alarm annunciation may be resumed fromeither the ViSi Mobile Monitor or Remote Viewer.  Pausing alarm annunciation can only be donedirectly from the ViSi Mobile Monitor (worn by the patient).

General Troubleshooting 10210.7  General Troubleshooting10.7.1  Connectivity Lost10.7.2  Alarms and AlertsProblem Potential Cause SolutionOn the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer, “XX” appears where all vital sign measurements should be displayed.The patient wearing the ViSi Mobile Monitor has moved outside of the wireless network area.Move the patient back into the wireless network area.On the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer, all patients have disappeared from the Care Unit Area.The network cable has been disconnected from the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer.Reconnect the network cable to the Remote Viewer.When testing the speaker at the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer, if the tonedoes not sound or it is not loud enough check the speaker volume is turnedup. If the sound is still not sound loud enough, immediately contact abiomedical engineer. The test indicates how alarm and alert tones sound atthe Remote Viewer. If the volume is inadequate, clinicians could missalarms and alerts.Problem ExplanationI acknowledge an alarm at the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer, but the audio tone still occurs at the ViSi Mobile Monitor.• Life-Threatening alarms latch at the ViSi Mobile Monitor until they are acknowledged there, even if the alarm condition resolves. • Certain alerts (such as a sensor being discon-nected) continue to annunciate at the ViSi Mobile Monitor until the alert is acknowledged at the Monitor.An alarm occurs, but the audio tone stops before I acknowledge it.• If an alarm or alert condition resolves before it is acknowledged, the audio tones stops.• If the alarm condition was a high-level severity, the alarm message will remain visible (in gray) for five minutes.I stop monitoring a patient at the ViSi Mobile Monitor, according to procedure, but a MONITOR STOPPED alert still appears on the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer.The alert informs all clinicians who are remotely monitoring the patient that monitoring has stopped.Acknowledge the alert to remove the patient from the care unit.My patient had a vital sign alarm. I did not acknowledge the alarm, but I removed the sensor from the patient. The vital sign alarm continued.The vital sign alarm must be acknowledged, even if the sensor is removed.
General Troubleshooting103An alert with the   icon and PATIENT TAMPERING message occurred. What does it mean?Someone has unsuccessfully tried to log in to the ViSi Mobile Monitor five or more times.The visual indications go away after the alert is acknowledged and after a clinician successfully logs in at the Monitor.When an alarm or alert occurs, the audio annunciation is heard on the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer, but there is no audio on the ViSi Mobile Monitor.Most alarms and alerts will audibly annunciate at the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer before they audibly annunciate at the ViSi Mobile Monitor.This is to minimize disturbing the patient.Sometimes if more than one alarm or alert occurs for a patient at the same time, one or more of the messages don’t show.• If the alarms or alerts are the same severity level, the messages will cycle through.• Messages for alarms or alerts that are at a lower severity level will not be displayed.• If alarms and alerts occur simultaneously, only messages associated with the alarms will be dis-played.• Other visual indications usually show for lower level alarms and alerts.Sometimes I acknowledge an alarm or alert, and all alarm or alert indications go away. The audio tone never returns.Some alarms and alerts are acknowledged permanently.At the ViSi Mobile Monitor, I set all alarming to OFF, or I set all alarming to PAUSED. But some alarms and alerts continue to be annunciated.Some important alarms and alerts (such as sensor being disconnected) will continue to annunciate even when all alarms are turned off, or paused.When an alarm or alert occurs, the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer does not sound an audio tone, or the tone is not loud enough.• Some alerts do not have an audio tone.  When an audio tone is associated with an alarm or alert, the Speaker Test button will animate.• When an audio tone is expected, but not present (or not loud enough), immediately contact your biomedical engineer.• The speaker volume for the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer can be tested at any time.The ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer displays a CONNECTIVITY LOST alert, what does it mean? The ViSi Mobile Monitor is no currently connected to the network.Problem Explanation
ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer 10410.8  ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer10.8.1  Setting Alarm LimitsProblem ExplanationWhen I try to adjust individual limits in the Alarm Settings pane, I cannot go past certain limit values.Patient alarm limits may not be set beyond the care unit alarm limits.When I adjust an upper limit, the lower limit also changes, or vice versa.When a vital sign limit is adjusted to equal the opposite limit, the opposite limit adjusts. Upper and lower limits for a vital sign cannot be the same value.The alarm limits on the ViSi Mobile Monitor and the limits at the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer do not match.The alarm limits were set on the ViSi Mobile Monitor while the Monitor was not connected to the network.  The new limits will not be communicated back to the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer until the Monitor reconnects to the network.The alarms were changed on the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer but before the new alarm limits were communicated to the ViSi Mobile Monitor, the Monitor moved out of network.The limits on the Monitor are the operating limits at all times.

Wireless Network Risk Mitigation 14011.7  Wireless Network Risk MitigationReference: ISO 80001-1ViSi Mobile System utilizes the Responsible Organization’s wireless IT network to communicate betweenindividual ViSi Mobile Monitors connected to patients and the ViSi Appliance.  Physiologic data andalarms originating from the ViSi Mobile Monitors are transmitted over the IT network to the ViSi MobileRemote Viewer where supplemental alarm notification occurs.  Reliability of the IT network is essential inensuring the supplementary alarm notification meets the intended use.11.7.1  Risk Analysis Summary• The ViSi Mobile Monitors are the source of all alarms and alerts. • The ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer provides a supplemental alarm notification.  When connectivityis present audio alarms are deferred to the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer.• In the event that network connectivity is lost, all audio alarms are annunciated at the ViSi MobileMonitors.  A connectivity lost alert is annunciated at the ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer.11.7.2  Residual RisksLoss of network connectivity will result in failure in supplemental alarm notification to the ViSi Applianceand ViSi Mobile Remote Viewer.  Management of this risk is the responsibility of the ResponsibleOrganization for the IT Network.  This risk is minimized with the following mitigations:Sotera Responsibilities• Sotera Inc network assessment prior to installation.• Sotera Inc verification that the Responsible Organization network meets ViSi Mobile Systemconnectivity requirements at the time of installation.• Hand over protocol with all settings/configurations as installed and configured (Training)Responsible Organization Responsibilities• Conduct a risk assessment of the IT Network prior to installation and mitigate technical risk.• Maintain backup and emergency power resources for ViSi System network components.• Maintain network configuration post installation of the ViSi Mobile System.• Notify Sotera prior to modifications to the network, including any configurations changes thatcould potentially compromise the IT Network as verified at the initial installation of the ViSiSystem.  For support contact Sotera Wireless or an authorized Sotera Wireless representative inyour area.Other RF radiating devices (such as high powered RFID readers and Bluetoothdevices) that are in close proximity with the ViSi Mobile Monitor may interfere with theMonitor’s wireless communications. During such interference, the Monitor continuesto monitor and will alarm locally. If wireless communication is affected when using theMonitor in close proximity with another RF radiating device, move the other deviceaway from the Monitor or discontinue use of the other device.Perform a risk assessment and verification before implementing a change ormodification to the IT infrastructure. Changes to IT network configurations cancompromise continuous vital signs monitoring and alarm delivery.
