Introduction

3 Introduction

3.1 Components

Monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic functions
Documentation function

The corpuls3 is a portable device with a modular structure which can be used
· as a defibrillator/monitor or
· as a full patient monitor in its own right. The corpuls3 provides comprehensive monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic functions for treatment of emergency and intensive-care patients. Especially as part of the resuscitation of emergency patients, defibrillations, cardioversions or pacer therapies can also be performed, in addition to the monitoring of vital parameters.
Up to 6 leads can be displayed on the screen at the same time. A 12-lead ECG function allows the user a comprehensive ECG diagnosis, which can be optionally supplemented by ECG analysis software.
Further monitoring functions include oxygen saturation measurement (pulse oximetry), carbon dioxide measurement (capnometry) and temperature measurement, in addition to non-invasive and invasive blood pressure monitoring. The recorded measuring values can be displayed both numerically and as a curve. Configurable alarms draw the user's attention to current changes in the patient's condition. All measured values or logs can be printed out on paper.
The corpuls3 has extensive documentation functions for internal recording of events, alarms and logs. These can be transferred to external systems for further processing and archiving.

3.2 Device Design

Usage options
Radio connection Infrared connection
Note Note

The three modules monitoring unit, patient box and defibrillator/pacer can operate via an infrared connection or, if separated, via radio connection.
The connection status is shown on the screen of the monitoring unit (see Table 4-2, page 40) and the patient box (see Table 4-3, page 44).
Communication between the modules in semi-modular and modular use is performed by radio up to a distance of 10 m in open terrain.
In the connected mechanically state, the modules communicate via an optical infrared connection.
If the radio connection is interrupted, the modules have to be connected to each other mechanically. The corpuls3 switches automatically from radio connection to infrared connection in this case.
The antenna of the radio unit in the patient box is located at the top. In case the antenna is shadowed, for example by metallic or metallised objects, the maximal reach of the radio connection may be reduced. This may happen, for example, when the patient box is placed between the patient's legs on the stretcher. If possible, choose a position for the patient box that allows unimpeded view to the other modules.

3.2.1 Pairing (Connection Authorisation)

The modules of the corpuls3 can be connected to form a functional unit by means of two procedures: · Pairing and · Ad-hoc connection

Note Pairing Ad-hoc connection

The corpuls3 thus provides the option of substituting individual modules of one compact device for individual modules of the same type from another corpuls3.
It is not possible to connect a monitoring unit to more than one patient box or one defibrillator/pacer at the same time.
Pairing is a connection authorisation that enables the communication between wirelessly connected modules.
An ad-hoc connection allows the use of mechanically connected modules without having to perform a pairing beforehand.

Introduction

Prerequisite
Note Note Labelling of the radio modules

For both procedures the following prerequisites apply: 1. For a pairing, monitoring unit, patient box and defibrillator/pacer have to be equipped with radio
modules of the same type (hardware version). 2. If this is not the case, if the hardware version of the radio modules is different (1st and 2nd
generation), those modules can only form an ad-hoc connection. 3. For both a pairing and for an ad-hoc connection all modules have to be equipped with an identical
software version. As of July 2011 the corpuls3 comes equipped with a 2nd generation radio module. This new radio module is not compatible with those of the 1st generation.
As of July 2017 the corpuls3 comes equipped with 3rd generation hardware. These are not compatible with those of the 1st or 2nd generation.
The corpuls3 modules with the 2nd and 3rd generation radio module are labelled with a number symbol. This symbol is attached at the following places:
· Monitoring unit: at the front side, top left, · Patient box: on top, · Defibrillator/pacer: at the rear side, on top, · Defibrillator/pacer SLIM: at front side, top left.

2

The number symbol indicates a 2nd- or 3rd-generation module.

Starting a pairing

To start a pairing, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the monitoring unit, the patient box and, if present, the defibrillator/pacer mechanically. 2. The following options are available:
a) The message Perform pairing? appears. Confirm the message by pressing the softkey [Start].
b) The message Perform pairing? does not appear: Select in the main menu "System"  "Start Pairing".
3. The message Pairing successful appears on the screen of the monitoring unit. The three modules now are paired. The corpuls3 is ready for operation via radio connection.

Starting an ad-hoc connection

To start an ad-hoc connection, proceed as follows: 1. Connect modules mechanically. 2. Do not confirm the message Perform pairing?.

The message Ad-hoc connection [MODULE], e g. Ad-hoc connection P-box or Ad-hoc connection Defib appears on the screen of the monitoring unit. The corpuls3 is ready for operation.

Note The connection status is shown by symbols in the status-/alarm line in the upper right corner of the monitoring unit (see Table 4-2 Module connection status, page 40 and Appendix A Symbols, page 289).
Note If a new pairing is performed between a monitoring unit and a patient box or with another compact device, the previously saved radio connection authorisation to the patient box or to the defibrillator/pacer is automatically deleted.

Caution

When connecting different patient boxes by ad-hoc connection, there can be inconsistent entries in the data management.

3.3 Description of the Monitoring, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Functions

3.3.1 Monitoring and Diagnostic Functions

The corpuls3 has the following monitoring and diagnostic functions:
· ECG · Diagnostic ECG · CPR Feedback

Optional:
· Oximetry (SpO2) · Extended oximetry (SpCO®, SpHb, SpMet®) · Capnometry (CO2) · Temperature (Temp) · Non-invasive blood pressure monitoring (NIBP) · Invasive blood pressure monitoring (IBP)
ECG With the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable, the bipolar extremity leads according to Einthoven (I, II, III) and the unipolar extremity leads according to Goldberger (aVR, aVL, aVF) can be recorded and displayed on the monitor.

Diagnostic ECG

By combining the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable with the complementary 6-pole ECG diagnostic cable (chest wall leads according to Wilson (V1-V6)), 12 channels can be displayed simultaneously. This enables a comprehensive ECG diagnosis which can be supported by the ECG measurement HES® Light and an optional ECG analysis software.

CPR Feedback

During resuscitation, the CPR feedback option monitors the current compression rate and -depth of the thorax compressions by means of the corPatch CPR sensor. Speech- and text messages signal to the user whether the quality of the thorax compressions is sufficient or can be optimised.

Oximetry and extended oximetry options

Besides the peripheral pulse rate (PR), oximetry measures the perfusion index (PI) and the arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2). Extended oximetry options (available only with with Masimo Rainbow SET® Technology) include measurement of the methemoglobin level (SpMet®) and, depending on the used oximetry sensor, the level of carboxyhemogolobin (SpCO®) in percentage or the level of total hemoglobin (SpHb) in g/dl or mmol/l. Up to 6 parameter fields can be configured for display of numeric values. A curve field can display the oximetry plethysmogram.

Capnometry

The capnometer, which operates according to the mainstream method, measures the CO2 concentration in the patient's expiratory breath in real time. The CO2 concentration, measured in mmHg or kPa, can be displayed on the screen as a capnogram. The corpuls3 allows use of capnometry in intubated and nonintubated patients. The patient's respiration rate is measured as an additional parameter.

Temperature Up to two temperature values can be measured by means of temperature sensors and displayed as numerical values: body core temperature rectally and/or oesophageally and surface temperature.

Introduction

Non-invasive blood pressure measurement
(NIBP) Invasive blood pressure
measurement (IBP)

The non-invasive blood pressure function (NIBP) allows blood pressure monitoring on one extremity. A selection of operating modes for adults, children and infants is available.
The invasive blood pressure function (IBP) allows the invasive measurement of various different pressures as part of intensive medical care of the patient. These include, among others, arterial pressure, central venous pressure and intracranial pressure, etc.
Two interfaces are available which can be assigned as single channels or as double channels, respectively. Consequently, up to four different invasive pressure measurements can be performed simultaneously. The recorded pressure values can be displayed on the screen either as numerical parameters and/or as a curve.

3.3.2 Therapeutic Functions

corpuls3 provides the following therapeutic functions: · Defibrillation · Cardioversion · Pacer therapy
Defibrillation and Cardioversion
The defibrillator which operates with the corpuls3-specific biphasic pulse has two operating modes: · Automatic external defibrillation (AED mode) · Manual defibrillation and cardioversion (manual mode)

Fig. 3-14 Biphasic defibrillation pulse 6/4 (qualitative representation)
Note By default, the biphasic defibrillation impulse 6/4 is set. Upon request, the biphasic defibrillation impulse 4/3 can be configured by a service technician.

Defibrillation electrodes Energy selection
Warning

In AED mode, the user is assisted by an automated ECG analysis, verbal instructions (configurable) and a metronome (configurable). The defibrillation pulse is triggered by the user.
The algorithm of the AED mode is governed by the current recommendations.
In manual defibrillation mode, the user has full freedom of action and decision-making. The metronome (configurable) is available in this mode as well.
Defibrillation can be performed with corpuls3 using plate electrodes, so-called shock paddles, disposable adhesive electrodes, so-called corPatch electrodes and internal shock spoons.
There are three different options for selecting energy in manual mode:
· Softkeys The softkeys allow a choice of predefined energy settings (depending on which electrodes are connected, e. g. for adults 50 J, 100 J, 150 J, 200 J).
· Jog dial The jog dial allows selection of 2 J, 3 J, 4 J and 5 J and subsequently in 5 J-increments up to a maximum energy of 200 J.
· Shock paddles By short-circuiting the shock paddles, the energy can be selected by pressing the release buttons. This function allows the same energy selection as with the jog dial.
A cardioversion may lead to fibrillation or asystole. When performing a cardioversion, mind the following:
· The ECG has to be stable with a heart rate of at least 60/min. · The synchronisation mode has to be set to SYNC. · The QRS marks (triangles) have to mark each QRS complex. Do NOT rely on the QRS-/pulse
tone alone. · The shock release has to be effected according to valid guidelines. · To release a shock, the Shock key at the monitoring unit or the buttons at the shock
paddles have to be held down until a shock is released.

Introduction

Pacing

FIX DEMAND
OVERDRIVE function

By electrical stimulation of the heart muscle, the external pacer of corpuls3 can supplement, positively influence or completely take over its function. The pacer emits pacing pulses to the patient's heart muscle through the corPatch electrodes attached to the chest/back.
With the pacer function, the FIX and DEMAND operating modes are available as well as the function OVERDRIVE.
In the FIX operating mode, the heart muscle is stimulated regardless of the patient's own heart rate.
The pacer only stimulates in DEMAND mode when the patient's own heart rate falls below the pre-set pacing frequency. The automatic R-wave recognition prevents pacing during the vulnerable phase of the heart.
The OVERDRIVE function allows manual reduction of a patient's high heart rate. The maximum pacing frequency is f  300/min.

3.4 Alarm Management

The alarm management of the corpuls3 classifies all alarms into three different priorities, into physiological and technical alarms as well as into active and non-active alarms.

Priorities High-priority alarms warn the user of immediate lethal or irreversible injuries of the patient or of malfunctions in the device. High-priority alarms cannot be interrupted by medium-priority- or lowpriority alarms.

Medium-priority alarms alarms warn the user of immediate reversible injuries of the patient or of minor malfunctions in the device. Medium-priority alarms cannot be interrupted by low-priority alarms. Highpriority alarms always take precedence over medium-priority- or low-priority alarms.

Low-priority alarms warn the user of minor injuries of the patient that may occur later or of minor limitations to the functionality of the device. High- and medium-priority alarms always take precedence over low-priority alarms.

Physiological and The physiological alarms are displayed if measured values exceed or fall below the pre-set limit values technical alarms of the alarm. Technical alarms are displayed, if there is a malfunction in the device. If the corpuls3 is in
AED- or manual defibrillation mode, the physiological alarms are not signalled.

If the alarming is disabled for an individual alarm, pertaining active alarms will be confirmed automatically.

Note The physiological and technical alarms and the necessary troubleshooting measures are listed in chapter 11 Procedure in Case of Malfunctions, page 250.

Active and non-active alarms

Alarms are active, if the conditions that trigger the alarm are present. If alarms are confirmed by pressing the Alarm key, they are no longer indicated in the status-/alarm line. Some alarms, however, are still listed in the alarm history as non-active for information, even if the conditions that trigger the alarm have been remedied.

Alarm signals at monitoring unit and
patient box
Covert mode

The corpuls3 issues visual alarm signals at the monitoring unit and at the patient box. If there is no connection between the monitoring unit and the patient box, acoustic alarm signals are issued at both modules. If there is a connection, acoustic alarms are issued only at the monitoring unit.
No alarm signals are issued at the defibrillator/pacer. Alarms of the defibrillator/pacer are signalled at the monitoring unit.
If the covert mode function is enabled, all signalisations of the device via speakers (start-up tone, speech messages, ready signal, key tones, alarms etc.) as well as the lightening up of the jog dial are completely disabled. It is recommended to use this function only for special surroundings and not for everyday missions. All alarms can still be viewed in the alarm history on the monitoring unit.

Warning

Using the Covert Mode requires particular diligence and attention of the user, as otherwise it can lead to serious or lethal injuries of the patient. In this device mode, the user must have direct eye contact to the patient and the device at all times.

Clinic mode

The clinic mode is intended for corpuls3 devices that are used in a hospital. After this function has been enabled by the user OPERATOR, low priority alarms are repeated every 30 s until they are confirmed. High- and medium priority alarms are unchanged. All alarms can still be viewed in the alarm history on the monitoring unit.

Warning

Potential danger due to inappropriate alarm presettings in area of application! If the user operates the device in an area of application other than the usual, the alarm settings may cause misunderstandings. Adjust alarm settings.

3.4.1 Alarm Signals at the Monitoring unit

Physiological and technical alarms are signalled at the monitoring unit via the status-/alarm line, the vital parameter field, the jog dial and by acoustic signals. The positions of the operation- and display elements are described in chapter 4.1 Operating- and Screen Elements, page 35.

Warning

Delayed recognition of critical patient status! The alarm functions "Alarm OFF" and "Autolimits" can also be operated remotely with the corpuls.mobile REMOTE App. This may cause a delay in recognising critical patient status. Keep direct eye contact to the patient at all times.

Sorting of alarm history
Note Note

In the alarm history all active and non-active alarms are displayed that have not yet been confirmed; with the alarms being sorted top-down from active (top) to non-active (bottom). Within the active and non-active alarms, the alarms are sorted by priority and then in descending order by the time of their occurrence.
The alarm history can contain up to 256 alarms. Preferably these should be confirmed as soon as possible. If more than 256 un-confirmed alarms accumulate, the oldest alarm is overwritten.
Certain technical alarms are displayed in red type. These alarms cannot be deleted from the status/alarm line and alarm history.
Alarm signal in parameter field displayed in inverted colours:

Fig. 3-17 Inverted parameter field
- This display appears only for physiological alarms. - The parameter field can only be displayed in inverted colours when the display of this parameter
field is configured. - The parameter field remains in inverted colours for as long as the measured value falls below or
exceeds the pre-set limit value or until the alarm for this measured value is disabled. This applies regardless of whether the alarm message in the status-/alarm line has been confirmed by pressing the Alarm key or not.
Alarm signal via the jog dial:

Warning

The acoustic alarm sounds: - The alarm with the highest priority is signalled acoustically. - The type of sound helps the user to differentiate between low-, medium- and high-priority alarms.
Non-recognition of alarm conditions Set the volume of the acoustic alarm so that it cannot fail to be heard in loud environments.

Minimal volume Volumee

The minimal volume can be configured by the user OPERATOR to prevent that alarms are not heard in loud surroundings. The user cannot set the volume lower than the minimal volume defined by the user OPERATOR.

Alarm suspension

If the Alarm key is pressed for more than 3 s, physiological alarms can be suspended briefly or, depending on the configuration set by the operator, also permanently. Prerequisite is that this has been configured accordingly in the settings (see chapter 7.4.6 Alarm Configuration (Persons Responsible for the Device), page 185). If the alarm suspension has been activated, it can also be deactivated again by pressing the Alarm key for more than 3 s.

Note If for one parameter the alarm has been disabled by selecting "Alarm OFF and the parameter field is no longer displayed, the alarm will automatically be re-enabled.

Defibrillation mode Only technical alarms are displayed in defibrillation mode. Physiological alarm limits are not monitored. No physiological alarm events are saved in defibrillation mode.

Warning

The patient must not be left unattended when defibrillation mode is selected.

Configuration of alarms
Situation after switching on

Manual and automatic configuration as well as all further settings (saving, volume, etc.) with reference to the alarm function of the monitoring unit can be found in chapter 7.3 Alarm Configuration, page 172.

3.5 Energy Management

Influence of the modular structure

Energy management is of paramount importance owing to the modular structure of the corpuls3.
The corpuls3 and the individual modules can be operated on battery alone or on 12 V DC power supply or via a separate charger (only 230 V AC).

3.5.1 Battery Operation

Identical lithium-ion batteries
Empty or faulty batteries Note Note
Note Remaining running time
display

The three modules of corpuls3 each have their own lithium-ion battery. The batteries are identical and have an integrated microchip which records the history of use.
Each of these batteries can be replaced manually and without use of tools. Exchanging the batteries for one another within the corpuls3 is also possible. Information on replacing the batteries can be found in chapter 10.6 Replace battery, page 243.
When the modules of the corpuls3 are connected mechanically (compact device or semi-modular use), the energy is drawn from the battery with the currently highest state of charge. If the state of charge is identical in all batteries, the corpuls3 accesses all available batteries equally.
If only a low level of charge remains in the battery of one module, it is possible to access the energy reserves of the other batteries by connecting this module to one or both other modules.
If the state of charge of a battery is less than 20 %, an alarm message for the respective module is triggered.
To guarantee a sufficient charge, the corpuls3 has to be inserted into the charging bracket or connected to the external charger.
One battery with adequate charge is sufficient to operate the device reliably as compact device.
Energy exchange or mutual charging between the batteries does not occur.
The corpuls3 as well as the individual modules can be operated on battery, directly on 12 V DC or via a separate charger (230 V AC).
The corpuls3 is only intended for use with all three batteries inserted.
To be able to offer the user the maximum possible safety, the corpuls3 calculates the remaining running time and indicates this in minutes. In calculating the remaining running time, the device takes the current energy consumption into account.
The remaining operating time is displayed in the status-/alarm line of the monitoring unit (Fig. 3-20).

1 Battery symbol and remaining running time in minutes

Alternatively, the state of charge of the batteries in percent can be viewed in the system info. Select in the main menu "System"  "Info".

Battery charging Battery maintenance

Since each module has a charge controller, it can be charged individually and independently from the other modules.
Furthermore, in compact or semi-modular use, the system can also be charged by only one magnetic contact. In this case, the charging time is independent of whether only one or several modules are simultaneously charged by an external power supply.
During charging, the corpuls3 system can be operated.
Special maintenance of the batteries is not required. Nevertheless, charging and/or operating under extreme temperatures should be avoided as far as possible. This and extreme temperature fluctuations limit the service life of lithium-ion batteries. It is therefore recommended to charge the batteries within a temperature range from 12°C to 40°C. Periodic replacement of the batteries after 3 years is recommended.

Operating time

· Compact device: · Patient box: · Monitoring unit:
· Defibrillator/Pacer:

approx. 7-10 hours approx. 4-6 hours approx. 4 hours (at 70% background illumination) up to 200 shocks at 200 J

Charging time

· From 0 to 80 %:

approx. 1 hour

· From 0 to 90 %: approx. 1.5 hours

· From 0 to 100 %: approx. 2 hours

Note The batteries have an internal protection which could delay or interrupt the charging process at ambient temperatures of higher than 50°C.

3.5.2 Mains Operation

Operation with 12 V DC Use of a mains charger

The compact device and each individual module can be operated directly with 12 V DC.
In combination with a multi-range mains charger, the compact device and the individual modules can also be connected to and operated with voltage sources of 100 V to 250 V AC. Operation with the mains charger on a source of alternating current functions regardless of whether no batteries, empty batteries or faulty batteries are used.

Note The corpuls3 and the AC converter form a medical electric system.
State of charge display The current state of charge of the batteries is displayed on the status-/alarm line of the monitoring unit (Fig. 3-22).

Fig. 3-22 Display of the current state of charge of the batteries on mains operation
1 Symbol for mains connection and state of charge of the batteries in percent
Charging brackets The voltage can also be supplied by the three available charging brackets: · Compact device bracket 12 V DC (P/N 04400) · Monitoring unit wall mounting bracket 12 V DC (P/N 04401) · Patient box bracket 12 V DC (P/N 04402)

Charging during operation
Magnetic contact field

These brackets can also be connected to voltages sources other than 12 V DC via DC/DC or AC/DC converters.
If batteries are present in the device, they will be charged during use.
Each of the three modules has its own magnetic contact field for power supply. The flow of energy only begins when the corresponding magnetic mating component (magnetic clip or bracket supplied with voltage) is applied in the correct position (observe groove). The magnetic clip releases itself automatically if the pulling force becomes excessive and so prevents damage to the connector and the cable.

The connection (item 1, Fig. 3-23) on the defibrillator/pacer is used for power supply of
· the entire device in compact use, · the defibrillator/pacer and the monitoring unit in semi-modular use or · the defibrillator/pacer in modular use.

The shock paddles can be used for defibrillation, synchronised cardioversion and for ECG monitoring (DE recording). For using the shock paddles with the defibrillator/pacer SLIM, an intermediate adapter cable is needed.
Defibrillation, synchronised cardioversion and ECG monitoring of neonates and infants is performed with baby shock electrodes (adapters) which are fitted onto the shock paddles. The energy is automatically reduced at a ratio of 10:1 if the adapters are fitted (see chapter 5.4.5 Manual Defibrillation and Cardioversion of Neonates and Children, page 86).
corPatch easy electrodes are already connected to an electrode cable and only need to be connected to the therapy master cable of the defibrillator/pacer. The corPatch easy electrodes pre-connected for the defibrillator/pacer SLIM can be pre-connected even before opening the package.
The internal shock spoons consist of the shock spoon-electrodes and the handles. Before use the electrodes have to be screwed onto the handles. The handles are already connected to an electrode cable and only need to be connected to the Y-adapter cable of the defibrillator/pacer.

5.2 Preparing the Patient for Defibrillation, Cardioversion and Pacer Therapy
As a side effect of the defibrillation, a reddening of the skin and, in case of excessive hair, burn injuries may occur.

Warning

Recording of the ECG with therapy electrodes or via the 4 pole ECG monitoring cable is impaired if the skin is contaminated, wet or sweaty or in case of excessive hair.

Preparing the patient

Before therapeutic measures can be performed, the patient has to be prepared:
1. Remove clothes from the patient's upper body. 2. Remove any item of jewelry that is located close to or between the two therapy electrodes. 3. Remove excessive hair so that the conductive surface of the therapy electrodes has full contact
with the skin. 4. Clean and dry the skin before using therapy electrodes.

Patient impedance

With attached therapy electrodes, the patient impedance is measured by the device and displayed in inverted colours as "OK", "LOW" or "HIGH" in defibrillation mode.
When the impedance is too low or too high, the shock release is blocked. When using the shock spoons, shock release is possible also in case of low impedance.
High impedance is displayed in case of:
· excessive hair, · contaminated skin, · shock paddles not completely wetted with electrode gel, · too little contact pressure of the shock paddles, · wrong position of the corPatch electrodes, · Air pockets included when attaching corPatch electrodes.

Low impedance is displayed in case of:
· use of too much electrode gel on the shock paddles, · too little distance between the therapy electrodes, · wet patient skin, · technical problems with the electrode cable.

Warning

On metallic and/or wet surfaces the following protective measures have to be taken during defibrillation:
· Release of the shock in semi-modular operation (only when using corPatch electrodes) with sufficient safety distance to patient;
· Placing the patient on a dry stretcher or non-conductive surface before defibrillation.

tone alone. · The shock release has to be effected according to valid guidelines. · To release a shock, the Shock key at the monitoring unit or the buttons at the shock
paddles have to be held down until a shock is released.
Equipment which is not defibrillation-proof must be disconnected from patients during defibrillation and cardioversion.
If for a defibrillation the electrodes of the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable are connected to the patient, the complementary 6-pole ECG diagnostic cable has to be either connected to the patient completely, safely stored in the accessory bag or disconnected from the patient box.

Warning

No physiological alarm events are displayed and saved in defibrillation mode. Technical alarms are indicated visually and acoustically.

Audio recording CPR timer

In manual mode, a configurable audio recording option is available which is disabled by default. If the audio recording option is enabled by the person responsible for the device, all surrounding noises are recorded (see chapter 7.4.4 Configuration of the Defibrillation Function (Persons Responsible for the Device), page 181).
As of software version 3.2 the functionality of the display "Time since last shock (last)" has been extended: The CPR timer is started by pressing the Analyse key or Charge key and runs in the background, even if the user changes to another mode. To reset the CPR timer (starting the CPR cycle again), press the softkey [Cancel] or [Cont.CPR]. After the ECG analysis (result negative) and after the shock is delivered or aborted (30 s ready-for-shock-period passed or by user or due to technical problems), the CPR timer is reset automatically. If the option is enabled by the person responsible for the device, the remaining time of the CPR cycle (2 or 3 minutes) can be displayed as a pie chart.

5.5 External Pacer 5.5.1 Information on the External Pacer
By electrical stimulation of the heart muscle, the external pacer of corpuls3 can supplement, positively influence or completely take over its function. Applying the The pacer emits pacing pulses to the patient's heart muscle via the corPatch electrodes attached to the corPatch electrodes thorax. The corPatch electrodes are placed in the anterior and posterior position in this case. Different operating modes enable the user to adapt the treatment individually for each patient. Access control to pacer The user OPERATOR can block the access to the pacer mode by means of a PIN code. One has to make mode sure that the code is known to authorised users, as otherwise pacer therapy is not possible. By pressing the Pacer key the device activates the pacer mode:

Fig. 5-12 Pacer function

Note For a reliable suppression of pacer impulses, the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable has to be used.
Note In lead DE no pacer recognition can be performed, because the ECG curve DE cannot display pacer spikes.
Note The corpuls simulator can be used for the daily and monthly function checks. For safety reasons, the corpuls simulator shows the DE lead in pacer mode and therefore is only partially suitable for the simulation of pacer therapy.

Warning Caution

In patients with an implanted pacer, it is possible that shockable ECG rhythms or arrhythmias will only be detected to a limited extent.
Functional error due to interference This may result in signal interference with the pacer. Do not operate the device in pacer mode near high frequency surgical devices.

5.6 Metronome

5.6.1 Information on the Metronome

Autostart Metronome

The corpuls3 comes with a metronome (smartMetronome) that supports the user acoustically during CPR. Configurations of the metronome are set according to the current scientific recommendations of international associations for resuscitation.
The user OPERATOR can configure that the metronome is started automatically when a therapy mode is called up. This setting can be configured separately for the AED- and for the manual mode (see chapter 7.4.12 Configuration of the Metronome and CPR feedback (Persons Responsible for the Device), page 193).
The corpuls3 emits a series of compression- and ventilation tones (configurable) via the speakers. The tone sequence signals to the user in what rhythm to perform thorax compressions and when to perform ventilation.
There are two different tone signals:
· Compression tone
· Ventilation tone

Compression tone Ventilation tone

The compression tone consists of a rhythmic tone sequence. Thorax compressions should follow this. To signal the upcoming ventilation phase, the five last compression tones of the sequence are higher pitched than the preceding ones.
The ventilation tone consists of two tone sequences which are signalling the inhalation and exhalation. The ventilation tone is signalled twice in a row.

Note Metronom settings

The factory settings of the metronome are configured at 100 thorax compressions per minute. This value can be altered by the person responsible for the device (see chapter 7.4.12 Configuration of the Metronome and CPR feedback (Persons Responsible for the Device), page 193).
The metronome has the following 6 settings that can be selected in defibrillation mode via the softkey context menu:

5.7 CPR Feedback
5.7.1 Information on CPR Feedback
If a corPatch CPR sensor is used, the rate and depth of a thorax compression can be measured by the corpuls3. During resuscitation, the users are provided important information on the quality of the current thorax compressions, so that they can react immediately and take corresponding measures. Among the information are the display of the current rate as well as the curve progression of the current thorax compressions. Speech- and text messages, as well as the colour of the bars in the CPR curve signal to the user whether the quality of the thorax compressions is sufficient (green bars) or can be optimised (red bars). For this, three different speech- and text messages are available: · "Push harder" · "Good compressions" · "Fully release" The speech- and text message "Push harder" is played, if the recommended depth of the thorax compressions has not been reached. It is repeated at an interval of 7 seconds until the recommended depth of the thorax compressions has been reached or exceeded and the speech- and text message "Good compressions" is played. The message "Fully release" is played as a reminder for recalibration of the sensor. It can be deactivated in the configuration dialogue "Defib - CPR Feedback".
Message The user OPERATOR can deactivate the spoken message "Fully release" (see chapter 7.4.12 "Fully release" Configuration of the Metronome and CPR feedback (Persons Responsible for the Device), page 193).

Speech- and text messages will not be played, if
· the metronome is in ventilation phase, · during the ECG analysis in AED mode, · the device is ready to shock or · the resuscitation is finished.

If the user OPERATOR has enabled this option (see chapter 7.4.12 Configuration of the Metronome and CPR feedback (Persons Responsible for the Device), page 193), the corPatch CPR summary can be printed out on the corpuls3 via the main menu or the mission browser and so allows a direct mission debriefing for users. The printout contains various quality parameters and graphical summaries of the respective resuscitation mission.

If necessary, the used measuring unit can also be adjusted in the context menu or the configuration dialogue.

Note The CPR Feedback system is available in AED and manual defibrillation mode as well as in monitoring mode (configurable).

Note The use of CPR feedback is not recommended for patients with a body weight below 20 kg.

Note The CPR feedback will be available in devices as of May 2013. Older devices can be retrofitted. For further information, please contact your authorised sales and service partner.

During the phase between compressions, the user has to make sure that the pressure is completely relieved from the thorax. Otherwise, there can be false-negative feedback.

5.7.4 corPatch CPR summary
A retrospective CPR evaluation can be printed out on the corpuls3 via the mission browser. The printout contains various quality parameters and graphical summaries of the respective resuscitation mission. The option can be disabled by the user OPERATOR.
5.7.5 preShock CPR
The user OPERATOR (person responsible for the device) can configure a preShock CPR phase (see chapter 7.4.4 Configuration of the Defibrillation Function (Persons Responsible for the Device), page 181). With this functionality, the user can perform a certain amount of compressions after AED analysis (if a shockable rhythm was detected) before the defibrillation shock is released. Thereby the preShock pause is shortened and the chances for success of the shock are increased. The prompt for preShock CPR is only visual. Note As soon as the charging process is finished the defibrillator signals readiness to shock by issuing the ready-signal. The user has to perform the configured number of compressions until the defibrillator prompts the shock release. Note If there is a connection between the corpuls3 and the corpuls cpr the preShock CPR phase is always 8 s, independent of how long the preShock CPR phase has been configured by the operator. Note The preShock CPR phase should not be interrupted.

Warning

Before releasing the shock, make sure that there is no risk for users or third parties. Electrical shock from defibrillator use can lead to arrhythmias, ventricular fibrillation or asystole.

Warning Caution Caution

Delayed therapy due to malcommunication between the devices! If there is no or faulty communication between the corpuls3 and the corpuls cpr (operation via the corpuls3), the alarm "Check corpuls cpr" appears (see also chapter 11.1 Device alarms, page 250). If the error cannot be remedied promptly, both devices have to be operated manually.
Ineffective mCPR Therapy! A defibrillation shock can cause the patient to slip and therefore to a changed pressure point which can result in ineffective mCPR therapy. The user always has to observe the patient and correct the position of the stamp if necessary.
Crush injury due to the corpuls cpr stamp! If configured accordingly, the corpuls cpr performs preShock CPR compressions for 8 s, stops when a shock is released and then starts automatically with compressions again. This can lead to patient or user injury. The user has to be aware of the current configuration and keep parts of the body away from the stamp while therapy is in progress.
To perform compression-synchronised therapy with a corpuls cpr, the following conditions have to be met:

6.3 Monitoring ECG

6.3.1 Information on ECG Monitoring

The ECG monitoring function of corpuls3 allows routine monitoring of heart rhythm and heart rate. Configurable alarms alert the user to current changes in the ECG.
To record the ECG as part of monitoring a 4-pole monitoring cable or corPatch electrodes are necessary.
With the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable, the bipolar extremity leads according to Einthoven (I, II, III) and the unipolar extremity leads according to Goldberger (aVR, aVL, aVF) can be recorded and displayed on the monitor. Simultaneous display of up to 6 ECG leads maximum is possible.
Note For a reliable suppression of pacer impulses, the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable has to be used.
Note In lead DE no pacer recognition can be performed, because the ECG curve DE cannot display pacer spikes.

Warning

To guarantee a defibrillation protection for patients, users and third parties, use exclusively the ECG monitoring cables itemised in the list of authorised accessories (see chapter 10.8, Approved Accessories, Spare Parts and Consumables, page 249).

Warning

Additional use of a nerve stimulator may modify or completely suppress the ECG representation. In some cases, the ECG of an implanted pacer is displayed instead.

Warning

In patients with an implanted pacer, it is possible that shockable ECG rhythms or arrhythmias will only be detected to a limited extent.

To check the ECG cables for functional readiness, the use of the optionally available ECG cable tester is recommended (see chapter 10.8 Approved Accessories, Spare Parts and Consumables, page 249).
Note The depolarisation wave is a spatial unit, i.e. that the beginning of one wave is not visible in all derivations at the same time. Isoelectric sections at the beginning of an QRS complex are treated as part of the following significant wave. Analogously, isoelectric segments at the end of the QRS complex are incorporated into the previous significant wave.

6.4 Recording, Measuring, Printing and Interpreting a Diagnostic ECG

6.4.1 Information on Diagnostic ECG

Hannover ECG System HES®

In cooperation with internationally renowned cardiologists, HES® has been developed and refined continuously since 1968. A large number of leading medical equipment manufacturers integrate this algorithm into their medical products.
Based on a 12 lead ECG, HES® Light performs a ECG measurement of the diagnostic ECG. On the printout, the results are clearly arranged in tables that can help with interpretation and diagnosis during a mission.
Optionally, HES® Light can be complemented by an extendend version of HES®. The corpuls3 then issues a therapy suggestion based on the results of the "corpuls S"or "corpuls ACS" therapy algorithms. With these, the user can make early on tactical decisions as to which hospital to send the patient to or what emergency measures to perform immediately.

Operation ­ Monitoring and Diagnosis

Caution

HES® and the two measurement and interpretation algorithms corpuls ACS or corpuls S may yield different results in some cases. This is due to differences in focus of these algorithms, their sensitivity and specificity, as well as operator configuration.

Representative Cycle

HES® Light and HES® identify a "Representative cycle" from the diagnostic ECG. From this representative cycle the measurement tables are compiled which are necessary for an ECG interpretation (see chapter 6.4.4 Representative Cycle, page 125). The representative cycle can be printed out with the diagnostic ECG. For further information on printout configuration see chapter 7.1.3 Printer settings, page 160.

Abbreviations for ECG Measurement/ EKG Interpretation

For an overview of the used abbreviations, see Appendix B List of Abbreviations, page 296.
With the complementary 6-pole ECG diagnostic cable, Wilson's 6 unipolar thoracic wall leads (V1-V6) can be recorded. In combination with the ECG monitoring cable, 12 leads can be displayed simultaneously.

The screen shows a complete preview of all 12 leads which can be printed on paper with the internal printer of the corpuls3. The format and duration of the printout can be configured in size and length. For further information on printout configuration see chapter 7.1.3 Printer settings, page 160.

Note To check the ECG cables for functional readiness, the use of the optionally available ECG cable tester is recommended (see chapter 10.8 Approved Accessories, Spare Parts and Consumables, page 249).

Warning Warning Caution

The user/physician is always responsible for correct diagnosis and therapy.
Additional use of a nerve stimulator may modify or completely suppress the ECG representation. In some cases, the ECG of an implanted pacer is displayed instead.
The preview of the D-ECG on the screen serves only to check the individual ECG leads, the signal quality and possible arrhythmias. A diagnosis of the D-ECG must be based on the printout of the D-ECG.

Caution

HES® and the two measurement and interpretation algorithms corpuls ACS or corpuls S may yield different results in some cases. This is due to differences in focus of these algorithms, their sensitivity and specificity, as well as operator configuration.

Filter setting

After calling up the preview, the diagnostic ECG is automatically started with the diagnostic filter setting, e. g. 0.05 -150 Hz. The filter bandwidth is displayed in the right corner at the bottom of the preview screen. It is possible, however, to switch to an alternative diagnostic filter setting, e.g. 0.05 ­ 40 Hz. For this purpose press the softkey [Filter]. HES® Light and HES® are not affected by these filter settings.

Warning

If the factory setting of the filters is changed, the representation of the ECG can be affected. As a consequence, wrong interpretation of the ECG is possible, which may result in inadequate treatment.

Note Amplification settings

To increase diagnostic safety, the message "ECG FILTER ACTIVE - INTERPRETABILITY MAY BE AFFECTED" is printed for the user on the printout if the ECG is changed by filter settings and thus the interpretability is limited.
After calling up the preview, the diagnostic ECG is automatically started with the amplification factor x1. By pressing the softkey [Ampl+] or [Ampl-], the amplification factor can be adjusted (x2, x1, x0.5, x0.25). If the amplification factor is changed, the preview starts again.

Note If no patient data is to be entered at the moment, the prompt for the patient data can be skipped with the softkey [OK]. The device automatically assumes a male patient, aged 35, for ECG interpretation.
Note If the patient data have already been entered by means of the insurance card reader (option), only the patient's sex has to be entered manually to perform ECG measurement and ECG interpretation.

Caution

Patient and insuree have to be one person, otherwise the results of the ECG analysis can be misinterpreted.

Note ECG measurement and ECG interpretation requires approx. 2-3 seconds.

Note The person responsible for the device (user OPERATOR) can configure, whether an alarm/message should inform the user of findings like "Abnormal ECG", "STEMI" or "NSTEMI" already during the ECG analysis.

To support the physician with the diagnosis, the corpuls3 compiles a representative cycle on the basis of the diagnostic ECG. The representative cycle offers a visualisation of the "typical" ECG complex and represents the basis for ECG measurement and ­interpretation for HES® Light and HES®. For this, the recorded ECG complexes are analysed with regard to their morphology.
ECG complexes with a similar dominant morphology are averaged mathematically and then represented visually.
If individual ECG complexes differ from the morphology of others, these are marked (see Table 6-3) and not included into the representative cycle. The intervals between the R-peaks (R-R interval) are denoted by a dash "-".

User Manual corpuls3

For the plausibility check of the conclusions about the rhythm and as an aid for the quality check, the ECG measurement/interpretation program HES® issues a rhythm- and typing diagram that represents the cycle sequence of the ECG complexes in an abbreviated form (see page 123, Fig. 6-13, item 1). Each ECG complex is represented by a symbol. The distance between the symbols represents - on a greater raster - the R-R-interval.
Example 1: +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+ Fig. 6-15 Rhythm- and typing diagram for a regular sinus rhythm

This representation means that 9 ECG complexes of the same morphology have been found in the recorded ECG and have been averaged for a "Representative cycle". The distance between the ECG complexes was roughly the same (regular distance -).
Example 2: +--+-2---+--+-2---+-P---+--+ Fig. 6-16 Rhythm- and typing diagram for a sinus rhythm with two compensated ventricular and one
compensated supraventricular extrasystole

In this representation 10 ECG complexes have been found. The complexes 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10 represent the main type, from which the "Representative cycle" for diagnosis has been averaged.
The ECG complexes number three and six ("2") deviate from the main type in their QRS morphology and have a shortened distance to the previous complex and a prolonged R-R-interval to the following normal complex (+). This fact indicates two monomorphous ventricular extrasystoles and the text message should contain corresponding advice.
Complex number eight ("P") has a shortened distance to the previous complex (+) and a prolonged distance to the following normal complex (+).
"P" means that only the P-wave, but not the QRS-T of the respective ECG complex deviates from the normal cycle. In conjunction with the prematurity and subsequent prolongation of the R-R-interval, one concludes an atrial extrasystole and expects corresponding advice in the text message.
Note In general, a visual check of the rhythm- and typing diagram as well as a check of the fiducials should be integral part of the quality check of the computerised ECG evaluation.
Note For further information, the HES® ECG manual is available in German and English. The manual can be obtained from your authorised sales and servicepartners.

6.5 Longterm ECG

6.5.1 Information on Longterm ECG

Views of the longterm ECG
Cascade

With the longterm ECG function of the corpuls3, the user is able to monitor the ECG lead II (or DE) over the whole course of the mission, either during the mission or afterwards. This allows an evaluation of the quantity of cardiac dysrhythmias or the detection and printout of infrequent dysrhythmias.
There are two views for the longterm ECG:
· View with monitoring function of the current mission or
· View in the longterm ECG browser. Both views have a curve area showing lead IIauto or DEauto as a cascade over four curve fields. The area above the cascade shows the time specification of the point in time currently selected, the zoom specification in mm/s and the timeline.
The longterm ECG with monitoring function displays a horizontal parameter area and one curve field of the current patient monitoring. The parameter area shows as a default HR, SpO2, PR, NIBP and CO2, the curve field lead II. These settings can be configured via the respective context menu.
In the longterm ECG browser that can be opened via the mission browser (see chapter 8.5.2 Mission Browser, page 205), longterm ECGs from already finished missions can be opened and printed out. The area above the longterm ECG shows the mission data, patient data and total length of the selected mission.
The time specification refers to the beginning of the cascade. The yellow bar on the timeline can be moved with the jog dial. The required resolution of the longterm ECG can be selected via the zoom function.

6.5.2 Preparing Longterm ECG

Prerequisite for the longterm ECG is a 4-pole ECG monitoring cable connected to the patient (see chapter 6.3.4 Performing ECG Monitoring, page 112). If no 4-pole ECG monitoring cable is present, the DE-lead (if connected) will be recorded. If both lead II and lead DE are present, only lead DE is recorded. The switch between IIauto and DEauto only occurs when a valid ECG signal is present and not when the cable is connected. Lead DE is displayed preferentially.

6.6 Oximetry Monitoring (Option)
6.6.1 Information on Oximetry Monitoring
Oximetry is a non-invasive monitoring method for continuous measurement of the arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), in the blood. The specific reduction in the absorbance of oxygenated and deoxygenated haemoglobin is measured with light of different wavelengths by means of a photo sensor. Comparison of the values yields the SpO2 values as percentage. Additionally, the oximetry measures the peripheral pulse rate (PR) per minute and the perfusion index (PI) in percentage.
Note The vital parameters SpMet, SpCO and SpHb of the oximetry option are only available for corpuls3 devices that are equipped with Masimo Rainbow SET® Technology (see chapter 6.6.2 Extended Oximetry Monitoring, page 130).
To increase patient safety and to be able to guarantee measurement accuracy, Masimo sensors and intermediate cables were equipped with X-CAL technology. The corpuls3 supports this function and issues alarms of different priorities to indicate that the sensor will expire soon (low priority) or that the sensor is expired (medium priority).
Two parameter fields for display of the numerical measurement values can be configured. The oximetry plethysmogram (pleth) can be displayed in a curve field.
The signal intensity is a quality criterion for the capturing of measurement values. The signal intensity is measured and displayed as a horizontal bar in the parameter field SpO2 (see page 132 Fig. 6-20, item 1).

Warning

The alarm limits must be verified every time the oximeter is used to ensure that these are appropriate for the patient currently being monitored.

Note If necessary, adapt individual alarm limits manually.
Note If for SpO2 the alarm has been disabled or the lower alarm limit has been changed and then the parameter field is no longer displayed, the alarm will automatically be re-enabled and the alarm limit set to the default value.

Warning

If the accuracy of the oximetry measurement does not seem plausible (e. g. due to influences of movement, bright sunlight, Xenon OP lamps or due to photodynamic therapy with bilirubin lamps) check first of all whether there is any acute change in the patient's vital signs. Subsequently check whether the pulse oximeter works correctly. Refer to the list of approved accessories (see chapter 10.8 Approved Accessories, Spare Parts and Consumables, page 249) for a ambient shield ensuring interference-free measurement.

Warning Caution

The oximeter may not be operated in the vicinity of ionising (radioactive) radiation, as this may falsify the readings.
Refer to the list of approved accessories (see chapter 10.8 Approved Accessories, Spare Parts and Consumables, page 249) for approved sensors from the company Masimo. Sensors from other manufacturers are not supported by the device and are not permissible.

Note Masimo SET oximetry sensors can only be used in combination with an adapter cable (see chapter 10.8 Approved Accessories, Spare Parts and Consumables, page 249).
Note A low confidence of the measured value is indicated by a question mark instead of the alarm symbol in the upper right corner of the parameter field.
Note After connecting the oximetry sensor the oximeter calibrates automatically. This procedure may take up to 120 seconds for the oximetry measurement, during which an hourglass symbol is displayed in the upper right corner of the parameter field.

6.6.2 Extended Oximetry Monitoring
Extended oximetry monitoring options (available only with Masimo Rainbow SET® Technology) include measurement of the methemoglobin level (SpMet) and, depending on the used oximetry sensor, the level of carboxyhemogolobin (SpCO) or the level of total hemoglobin (SpHb) in the blood. Comparison of the values of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin yields the respective SpO2-, SpCO- and SpMet values as percentage and, depending on the configuration of the oximetry sensor, the SpHb value in g/dl or mmol/l.

Warning

Increased SpHb value: SpHb values above normal tend to increase the level of SpO2. The level of increase corresponds approximately to the amount of SpHb that is present.

Warning

Increased SpMet value: The SpO2 value may be decreased by levels of SpMet of up to approximately 10% to 15%. At higher levels of SpMet the levels of SpO2 may tend to read in the low to mid 80s. When elevated levels of SpMet are suspected, a blood sample should be analysed (CO-Oximetry).

Note Simultaneous measurement of SpCO and SpHb is not possible, due to different sensor types (see chapter 10.8 Approved Accessories, Spare Parts and Consumables, page 249).
Note It is recommended to connect SpHb sensors to the corpuls3 only if needed, to avoid premature expiration of the sensor.
Note For additional information on operating the sensor see Appendix G Safety Information, page 332.

Averaging Time
FastSat® Sensitivity

Stability of measured SpO2 values is in general an indicator for good signal quality. The stability of the measured values is influenced by the averaging mode used. The longer the averaging time, the more stable the readings will be. This is due to a dampened response as the signal is averaged over a longer period of time than this would be the case with shorter averaging times. Longer averaging times delay the response of the oximeter and reduce the measured variations of SpO2 and pulse rate.
The FastSat® mode tracks rapid changes in arterial SpO2 saturation with high fidelity. This allows for even more accurate and safe patient monitoring during the intubation phase. The mode FastSat® can be enabled via the parameter context menu.
The sensitivity of the oximeter can be adjusted to the needs of the particular patient monitoring situation in three levels (called modes in the following). The following modes are available:
· Mode "Normal": This is the recommended sensitivity for typical monitoring situations in which patients are monitored continuously, as e. g. intensive care units.
· Mode "Adaptive Probe Off Detection (APOD)": This is the recommended sensitivity for situations where there is a high probability of the sensor becoming detached from the patient. It is also the suggested mode for care areas where patients are not visually monitored continuously. APOD offers a safe and fast detection of erroneous pulse rate and arterial oxygen saturation readings when a sensor becomes inadvertently detached from a patient due to excessive movement.
· Mode "Maximum Sensitivity (MAX)": This level of sensitivity is recommended for patients with low perfusion in general or when the low perfusion message is displayed on the screen in APOD or normal sensitivity mode. This mode is only recommended for care areas where patients are continuously monitored visually. When a sensor becomes detached from a patient, it will have compromised protection against erroneous pulse rate and arterial saturation readings.

Warning

When using the maximum sensitivity mode (MAX), the sensor-off-detection may be compromised. If the device is in this mode and the sensor becomes detached from the patient, false readings may occur due to environmental noise such as light, vibration and excessive air movement.

6.7 CO2 Monitoring (option)
6.7.1 Information on CO2 Monitoring
CO2 monitoring allows recording of the end-expiratory, end-tidal CO2 concentration (EtCO2) and provides information on ventilation, haemodynamics and metabolism in both intubated and non-intubated patients. The semi-quantitative measurement method uses infrared technology and is based on the assumption that there is no CO2 present in the patient's inspiratory respiratory gas. Due to a condensation-repellent special coating in the disposable adapter, the capONE measurement system from the manufacturer NIHON KOHDEN does not require a warm-up phase and is therefore ready for measurement in 5 seconds maximum. The capnometer, which operates according to the mainstream method, measures the CO2 concentration in the patient's expiratory breath in real time. The CO2 concentration, measured in mmHg or kPa, can be displayed on the screen as a capnogram in a curve field. The corpuls3 allows use of capnometry in intubated and non-intubated patients. The patient's respiration rate (RR) is measured as a further parameter.
Falsified readings By putting mechanical stress on the sensor or the sensor cable, the CO2 readings can be falsified. Do not bend or pull at the sensor or sensor cable, or subject to similar mechanical stress.
Do not perform CO2 monitoring near high frequency surgical devices. This may result in signal loss so that the patient can no longer be monitored.
The capnometer in corpuls3 is an additional function for intensive monitoring. Other vital parameters and clinical symptoms must be minded when using the capnometer on the patient.

Warning Warning

To guarantee safe use and to prevent cross infections, disposable articles are to be used only once.
Risk of asphyxiation The nasal/-oral adapter shall only be used on patients tolerating the adapter. The oral breath collector may come loose under extreme conditions and could be aspirated. The oral breath collector is radiolucent.

Warning

False readings
Do not use CO2 monitoring in connection with re-inhalation anaesthesia systems. Re-inhaled carbon dioxide can lead to false low readings.

Caution

For capnographic monitoring of patients under 3 years of age or with a body weight of 10 kg, the disposable adapter for CO2 endotracheal tube incl. insert for neonates has to be used (see chapter 6.7.3 Disposable Adapter for CO2 Endotracheal Tube incl. Insert for Neonates, page 138).

6.8 Non-invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring (option) 6.8.1 Information on NIBP Monitoring
The NIBP technology integrated in corpuls3 is an OEM module from Sun Tech Medical Inc., Morrisville, NC, USA. Further information: www.suntechmed.com.

Non-invasive blood pressure monitoring (NIBP) is used for routine monitoring of the blood pressure on an extremity. The pressure of a pulse wave in the blood is measured with the oscillometry method.

The systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure values are recorded as measured values and displayed on the screen as a numerical value in mmHg. By configuring automatic intervals, continuous automatic monitoring is possible. A selection of predetermined settings (initial pressure) for adults, children and neonates is available.

The blood pressure monitoring system consists of the blood pressure cuff and the connecting hose which connects the cuff to the interface at the patient box.

The measurements can either be performed as individual measurements or automatically at configurable intervals (1 to 60 minutes).

Operating place1.

The position of the user during operation is near the patient and the device.
The corpuls3 can indicate the results of non-invasive blood pressure measurement and the current settings on a separate user interface. This enables rapid access to the most important functions via softkeys during use. Moreover, the value last measured is shown in a configurable parameter field.

One can choose between two views:
· Large view (Fig. 6-29) · Trend view (Fig. 6-30) The large view shows the last value measured in large numbers. To obtain a list of the last five measurements, it is possible to change to the trend view. Both views always indicate the time of measurement and a quality indicator.

NIBP quality indicator

The quality indicator consists of 3 star symbols which indicate good measurement quality when filled, poor quality when displayed as an outline. The quality indicator is displayed on the NIBP user interface, in the parameter fields "NIBP" and "NIBP sys", in the trend browser and on printouts of NIBP values. The quality indicator is transferred together with the NIBP values via telemetry and Bluetooth and can be displayed in corpuls.web LIVE and corpuls.manager REVIEW.

Note For paediatric and adult patient populations, blood pressure measurements made with this device are equivalent to those obtained by trained observers using the cuff/stethoscope auscultatory method within the limits prescribed by ANSI/AAMI SP10:2002(R)2008 (mean error difference of ± 5 mmHg or less, standard deviation of 8 mmHg or less) as well as EN1060-4:2004 and ISO 81060-2:2009.

Warning

Measuring errors due to interferences
The device is designed to function in the presence of a normal ECG sinus rhythm. With some heart dysfunctions (e.g. branch bundle block, arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, premature atrial- or ventricular contraction, arteriosclerosis, presence of a pacer) as well as in case of poor perfusion, pregnancy (pre-eclampsia, pregnancy hypertension), diabetes, kidney diseases, advanced age of the patient or movement of the patient (shaking, the chills etc.) the non invasive blood pressure module may not be able to get correct measurement values.
Take into account interferences when assessing the measurement, if necessary, measure manually.

Warning

Delayed effect of emergency drugs If the blood pressure cuff is placed on an extremity into which an intravascular access has already been inserted, this may affect the administration of drugs. In this case, the blood pressure cuff should be used on another extremity, if possible.

Warning

Impairment of intravascular therapy or -monitoring If the blood pressure cuff is placed on an extremity into which an intravascular access or another monitoring sensor has already been inserted, this can impair their function. In this case, the blood pressure cuff should be used on another extremity, if possible.

Caution

Measuring errors due to interferences
The measuring site, the position of the patient (standing, sitting or laying down), exertion and the physical condition of the patient (stress, urge to urinate, ingestion of coffee or nicotine) can influence the measurement.
The middle of the cuff should be at the level of the heart. During the measurement, the patient should sit or lie calmly and relaxed, back and arm supported, legs not crossed, feet flat on the floor. The patient should not talk or tense the arm musculature. Ideally, the patient can spend 5 min in calm before the measurement.
Take into account interferences when assessing the measurement, if necessary, measure manually.

Note Note

To enable printing of the trend values as a single page:
1. Select in the main menu "Printer"  "Trend page". For the trend the minute mean values of the parameters are saved. One minute mean value is calculated from all measured values within one minute as the arithmetic average.
If in the trend table on the protocol printout one parameter value bears an exclamation mark (e. g. for HR: 60!), this indicates that within this interval an alarm limit was exceeded or the value fell below the alarm limit.
If at one timestamp one parameter value shows a question mark (e. g. for HR: ?), this indicates that within the last minute no mean value could be saved due to technical reasons. This is the case, for example, if at the time of printout the monitoring unit is out of range (radio connection) of the patient box.
If at one timestamp one parameter value shows two dashes (e. g. for NIBP: --), this indicates that within the last minute no mean value could be detected and saved.
The printout of the trendpage contains the trend value of the last minute before the Print key was pressed. The recorded trend values may therefore originate from an earlier point in time.
If the markings signalling the end of the paper roll become visible, a paper jam is possible with a selected printer speed of 6.25 mm/s.

After deployment of the corPatch CPR feedback sensor the corpuls3 calculates and stores a statistical evaluation from the collected data. If the user OPERATOR has enabled this option (see chapter 7.4.12 Configuration of the Metronome and CPR feedback (Persons Responsible for the Device), page 193), the corPatch CPR summary can be printed out on the corpuls3 via the main menu or the mission browser and so allows a direct mission debriefing for users. The printout contains various quality parameters and graphical summaries of the respective resuscitation mission.
As of software version 3.0.5 the user DEFAULT can adjust the intensity of the printer. This may e.g. be necessary after inserting a new role of printer paper, if the letters are printed too thin or too fat and are illegible.

Tone
Note 20 Hz filter

After connecting the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable (to patient and patient box) the ECG curve of lead DE appears automatically on the screen if a valid ECG is detected.
If the pitch of the pulse tone should indicate a change in oxygen saturation (SpO2 value), tick the checkbox in the "Dynamic" field. With this option, for example a decrease of the oxygen saturation can be detected early on acoustically. Deselecting the QRS tone disables the dynamic pulse tone as well (see chapter 7.2.2 Oximetry, page 167).
The dynamic QRS-/Pulse tone is only available, if the device is equipped with the oximetry (SpO2) option. If not, the field is greyed out.
By means of the 20 Hz filter, muscle contractions of the patient can be filtered out of the ECG. In monitoring mode, the 20 Hz filter can be enabled or disabled via the curve context menu.

Warning

Risk of wrong diagnosis
The use of the 20 Hz filter in monitoring causes distortions in the ECG that can be misinterpreted. A diagnosis should only be made on the basis of a diagnostic ECG.

Note To increase diagnostic safety, the message "ECG FILTER ACTIVE - INTERPRETABILITY MAY BE AFFECTED" is printed for the user on the printout if the ECG is changed by filter settings and thus the interpretability is limited.

The function "Export" allows the export of the configuration settings that were saved last onto the CF card. So, configurations once defined can be transferred to another corpuls3. The GSM PIN, the BT PIN and the APN password, some master data (transport type, Radio ID, EMS location, callback phone, medical team, device ID) (see also chapter 8.4 Master data, page 201) are not exported. In case of a software update all saved configurations remain unchanged.
The configuration (telemetry settings, W/LAN network settings, IP addresses, GSM/GPRS data), the internal phonebook (corpuls.web LIVE, e-mail, fax, BT addresses), access codes for the users "DEFAULT", "OPERATOR", "MAN. DEFIB." and "PACER" as well as some master data (organisation, organisation phone) can be exported to the CF card and imported to other corpuls3 devices with the function "Import". After importing the configuration settings, the corpuls3 has to be restarted in order for the new configuration to take effect.
If the audio recording option is enabled, pressing the Event key additionally stores a 15 second recording of the surrounding sounds (5 s before and 10 s after pressing the key). The volume of the audio recording is fixed. The audio recording appears as manual event in the protocol. Furthermore, by pressing the Event key with the screenshot option enabled, a picture file can be saved that shows the screen at the time of the event. The audio recording and the screenshots can be played and viewed with the software corpuls.manager REVIEW (see chapter 8.6 Analysis of the Data with corpuls.manager REVIEW, page 207).

Pacer operation

Persons responsible for the device can configure further defibrillation function settings in addition to those described in chapter 5.3.1 Information on the AED Mode, page 73 and chapter 5.4.1 Information on Manual Defibrillation and Cardioversion, page 80.
The general use of manual defibrillation can be restricted by an access code. If this option is enabled, the user needs to enter the access code "MAN. DEFIB." (see chapter 7.4.2 General System Settings (Person responsible for the device), page 176), to be able to defibrillate manually.
The general use of pacing can be restricted by an access code. If this option is enabled, the user needs to enter the access code "PACER" (see chapter 7.4.2 General System Settings (Person responsible for the device), page 176), to be able to use the pacer function.

Warning

The access code for the manual defibrillation mode must always be known to authorised users. If not, the patient can only be defibrillated in the AED mode with the corresponding energy restrictions.

Note Charging tone

When accessed for the first time, the manual defibrillation mode and the AED mode can be used with an automatically pre-set energy level. If the energy level is then changed during the mission, the new energy level remains available when the manual defibrillation mode is accessed again. Different energy levels can be pre-set for use in adults and children.
If in the group "Reminder Man." the checkbox "Analyse" is selected, the message "Assess heart rhythm" appears 2 or 3 minutes (depending on the selected resuscitation protocol) after the last shock.
In AED mode, manual energy selection can be enabled by de-selecting the checkbox "Locked". So the user of the corpuls3 has the same energy selection range as in manual defibrillation mode. The ECG analysis is performed with the algorithm of the AED mode.
For the preShock CPR function, the number of acoustic compression signals can be configured. Additionally, the metronome can be enabled.
In AED and manual defibrillation mode, audio recording can be enabled. If this option is enabled, all surrounding noises are recorded while the device is in the corresponding mode. After the mission, the audio files are available on the CF card.
In AED mode, the option "Autostart" is available which is disabled by default. If the option is enabled by the person responsible for the device, the ECG analysis starts automatically after 3 seconds warning time and the speech- and text message "Do not touch patient - Analysing heart rhythm".
If the checkbox in the group "Shock Protocol" in the defibrillator settings is selected, a protocol containing information on the patient, vital parameters, ECG-curve, selected energy, patient impedance and released energy is printed automatically after a defibrillation. This feature is enabled by default in the factory settings and can be disabled by the operator.
If the corpuls3 is to be used exclusively as a compact device or in semi-modular mode (monitoring unit and defibrillator/pacer unit connected, patient box separated, see Fig. 3-3), the person responsible for the device can configure a disconnection signal. In this case, if the monitoring unit is disconnected from the defibrillator/pacer unit, after a pre-set amount of time, an acoustic signal is given (so that no module is accidentally left behind).
Under certain conditions, the disconnection signal may render the verbal instructions given in AED mode unintelligible.
As an additional safety feature, the rising pitch of the charging tone indicates the progress of charging acoustically and serves as a warning to bystanders.

The frequencies for the low pass and high pass filters for ECG monitoring (Monitoring) and the low pass filter for the D-ECG (Diagnostic) can be adjusted.
Note The filter settings for the DE lead are pre-configured and fixed to 0.5 to 25 Hz. Note The filter value of the high pass filter corresponds to the lower limit frequency of the filter.
The filter value of the low pass filter corresponds to the upper limit frequency of the filter.

Warning

The filter settings modify the representation of the ECG curves.

High pass filter Low pass filter
20 Hz filter

The high-pass filter suppresses interference in the lower frequency range of the ECG curve. The 0.67 Hz filter is particularly effective to suppress baseline wandering.
The low pass filter suppresses interference in the upper frequency range of the ECG curve. This interference (artefacts) may be caused by a muscle tremor.
By means of the 20 Hz filter, muscle contractions of the patient can be filtered out of the ECG. In monitoring mode, the 20 Hz filter can be enabled or disabled via the curve context menu.

Warning

Risk of wrong diagnosis
The use of the 20 Hz filter in monitoring causes distortions in the ECG that can be misinterpreted. A diagnosis should only be made on the basis of a diagnostic ECG.

Note To increase diagnostic safety, the message "ECG FILTER ACTIVE - INTERPRETABILITY MAY BE AFFECTED" is printed for the user on the printout if the ECG is changed by filter settings and thus the interpretability is limited.

Note For information pertaining to the configuration of ECG measurement and ECG interpretation, see chapter 7.4.9 Configuration of ECG Measurement and ECG Interpretation (Persons Responsible for the Device), page 189.

If this function is enabled, every alarm will be listed as an event in the protocol.
If the Alarm key is pressed for longer than 3 s, physiological alarms can be briefly suspended or disabled. Prerequisite is that this is configured accordingly in the settings (Alarm OFF). If the alarms are disabled, a reminder signal in form of a single tone is sounded every 60 seconds. The reminder signal can be disabled by the operator. The volume of the alarm system can be adjusted.

Note For the alarm suspension, a maximum period of 60 seconds is recommended.

Minimal volume Volume Covert mode

The minimal volume can be configured by the user OPERATOR to prevent that alarms are not heard in loud surroundings. The user cannot set the volume lower than the minimal volume defined by the user OPERATOR.
If the covert mode function is enabled, all signalisations of the device via speakers (start-up tone, speech messages, ready signal, key tones, alarms etc.) as well as the lightening up of the jog dial are completely disabled. It is recommended to use this function only for special surroundings and not for everyday missions. All alarms can still be viewed in the alarm history on the monitoring unit.

Warning

Using the Covert Mode requires particular diligence and attention of the user, as otherwise it can lead to serious or lethal injuries of the patient. In this device mode, the user must have direct eye contact to the patient and the device at all times.

Clinic mode Note

The clinic mode is intended for corpuls3 devices that are used in a hospital. After this function has been enabled by the user OPERATOR, low priority alarms are repeated every 30 s until they are confirmed. High- and medium priority alarms are unchanged. All alarms can still be viewed in the alarm history on the monitoring unit.
For ECG measurement/interpretation there are several ACS alarms available that can be enabled or disabled individually by the person responsible for the device (see chapter 7.4.9 Configuration of ECG Measurement and ECG Interpretation (Persons Responsible for the Device), page 189).

As an alternative to the existing D-ECG preview which shows all curves with a speed of 6.25 mm/s, the D-ECG preview can also show the curves with the same speed as in monitoring mode. The user OPERATOR can enable or disable this option.
The corpuls3 creates a therapy suggestion with the corpuls S therapy algorithm which evaluates, among other items, ST deviations. If the ST deviations are significant enough, implementation of the PCI protocol is recommended.
Two limit values can be set for the sum of ST values measured during the D-ECG. These limits are designated AMI and IMI and represent the degree of sensitivity for deciding in favour of a therapy recommendation. The AMI limit (in V) applies in the event of an anterior infarction, the IMI value in the event of an inferior infarction.
If the ECG interpretation by corpuls3 indicates a myocardial infarction and if the sum of the specific ST values exceeds the pre-set limits for AMI or IMI, the device suggests performing a PCI therapy.
The following values are recommended for AMI and IMI:
AMI: 800 V IMI: 600 V

corpuls ACS Option NSTEMI
Note Note

As an alternative to corpuls S the corpuls3 generates with the therapy algorithm "corpuls ACS" a therapy suggestion that follows the guidelines of the ESC. Based on changes in the ECG, the algorithm differentiates between a STEMI, NSTEMI (optional) or a normal ECG rhythm.
If the checkbox "NSTEMI" in the group "corpuls ACS" is selected, the device also issues NSTEMI therapy suggestions.
The algorithm also checks the ECG for the presence of the Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, of intraventricular excitation propagation disorders, of an implanted pacer, of QRS intervals longer than 120 ms and of a left bundle branch block. In these cases, if enabled, the alarm/message "Abnormal ECG" is issued.
The person responsible for the device (user OPERATOR) can configure, whether an alarm/message should inform the user of findings like "Abnormal ECG", "STEMI" or "NSTEMI" already during the ECG analysis.
As the corpuls ACS algorithm closely follows the ESC guidelines, it is recommended for measurement and interpretation of a D-ECG.

Note A licence is required for the use of the ECG measurement and ECG interpretation options. Please contact your authorised service and sales partner to obtain this licence.

A new data record is automatically created each time the corpuls3 is switched on (new mission).
An unambiguous mission number is generated, which is printed in the first line on the first page of each printout. In addition, the time and date are automatically logged.
If instead of therapy electrodes a testbox/testload or a corpuls simulator is connected or the plug is lodged in the socket, the device asks if the mission should be marked as a test mission. If the user confirms by pressing the softkey [Yes], the Patient ID is displayed as "TEST".
For as long as the corpuls3 is in use, all the saved data will be assigned to this mission and saved on the CompactFlash® card (see chapter 8.3 Handling Data, page 200).
The entered data can be modified or completed during the mission. Changes made to the data set are marked in the protocol printout.
For entering changes, select "Patient"  "Edit Data" in the main menu.

page 223) · Data transmission to external systems via Bluetooth® data interface (option) · Receiving webMessages

D-ECG transmission Note
Live data transmission

The corpuls3 can send a complete report of a 12-lead ECG recording (diagnostic ECG) to a fax server, an e-mail address or to the corpuls.web LIVE server via the optionally available modem or the W/LAN interface.
The corpuls3 has an offline mode. This mode disables all external connection technologies (WLAN, LAN, GSM, Bluetooth) at once. The airplane symbol indicates that the offline mode is active.
Via the modem (option) or the WLAN/LAN interface (option) the corpuls3 can send the following date live, in real time, to a data server:
· Patient- and master data, · Curves and vital parameters, · D-ECGs and events, · Trends.

Server connection

By means of the software application corpuls.web LIVE (option), the server can be accessed from any place via internet and the data can be viewed live.
If the corpuls3 is connected to a server, the symbol "Server connection" is displayed in the status/alarm line.

Bluetooth® connection

If a connection via the Bluetooth® data interface is established to external systems (as e. g. a Tablet-PC for documentation) the symbol "Bluetooth® connection"is displayed in the status-/alarm line.
Depending on the status there are additional markings of the above described symbols for telemetry connections. A detailed description can be found in Appendix A Symbols, page 289.

Now all data shown on the display of the corpuls3 are transferred live.

4. To abort the current live data transmission select "Telemetry"  "Disconnect" in the main menu.
During the live data transmission all therapeutic and monitoring functions of the corpuls3 can be used without limitations. The observer of the live data using corpuls.web LIVE can see the same parameters and curves that are currently displayed on the connected corpuls3.

Live transmission of DECGs

If the user of the corpuls3 records a D-ECG, it is transferred live to the server and can immediately be reviewed via corpuls.web LIVE. The user of corpuls.web LIVE receives a notification in case of an incoming D-ECG.

Transfer of trend data base

The corpuls3 allows to transfer the complete trend data base to corpuls.web LIVE. So, the consulting doctor using corpuls.web LIVE can review the whole development and gain an overview of the patient`s status.

If the connection could not be established or if the live data transmission was aborted, this is being signaled via diverse symbols and alarms in the status-/alarm line.

The protocol records status messages of the live data transmission as event. For a list of possible events see chapter 11.3 Notifications Message Line and Information in the Protocol, page 276. In case of malfunctions see also chapter 11.2 Troubleshooting and Corrective Actions, page 265 and Appendix A Symbols, page 289.

Note Depending on the settings on the corpuls.web LIVE server, the system time set on the corpuls3 is synchronised by the corpuls.web LIVE server before the transmission of mission data. The time change is logged in the mission protocol of the corpuls3.

Note If the connection is interrupted during data transmission, the D-ECG may nevertheless have been transferred completely. The accuracy of the transferred data is guaranteed in this case as well.

Note Via the mission browser, D-ECGs from the current mission can be sent again, see chapter 8.5.2 Mission Browser, page 205.

Make sure that all cables and connecting plugs are connected correctly. Make sure that the corPatch electrodes are placed correctly.
The pacing therapy must be checked immediately. The corpuls3 is possibly not functioning correctly and must not be used. Contact authorised sales and service partners.
The electrical resistance of the patient (impedance) is to high for the selected settings. An intensity for stimulation has been selected that cannot be reached with the impedance present. Make sure that the corPatch electrodes are tightly and completely attached to the patient's skin. In case of excessive hair on the patient, shave the required area on the skin. If necessary, use new corPatch electrodes. To perform a pacer therapy adaequate for the patient, a higher stimulation intensity must be selected. Perform medical measures as needed.
The corPatch electrodes must be placed at a sufficient distance to allow pacing. Make sure that the corPatch electrodes do not touch each other. Make sure that there is no conductive connection between the corPatch electrodes (e. g. wetness).

Sensor comes off easily with body movement.

Possible cause

Explanation/corrective action

CO2 is mixed with the inspiration (e. g. when simultaneously using hyperventilation masks).

capONE measurement is based on the assumption of no CO2 gas in inspiration (semi-quantitative method). Therefore, when CO2 gas mixes in the inspiration, the measured value will be lower than the true value. If the inspiration contains e. g. 1 mmHg of CO2 gas, the measured ETCO2 value will be 10% less than the true value.

Patient's ventilatory volume is extremely low.

 Due to the dead space (1.2 ml), CO2 may mix in the inspired air of patients with low ventilatory volume.
 capONE measurement is based on the assumption of no CO2 gas in inspiration (semi-quantitative method). Therefore, when CO2 gas mixes in the inspiration, the measured value will be lower than the true value.

Measurement is performed in a low pressure environment without pressure compensation (e. g. at high altitude).

cap-ONE is affected by atmospheric pressure. For every 15 hPa decrease in pressure, the measured value is 1 mmHg lower than the true value.

Simultaneous use of an anaesthesia measuring instrument with volatile anaesthetic agents.

capONE is affected by volatile anaesthetic agents and produces a higher value than true value. The difference from the true value is as follows:

Oxygen is directly administered into the patient's nostrils and expiratory CO2 accumulates in the nasal tube which may distort the capnogram.
Attach the nasal oxygen cannula as shown in the operator's manual.

Oxygen flow rate is too high.

If the oxygen flow is too high it affects the expiratory CO2 and distorts the capnogram, especially at the end of expiration at which the expired volume decreases.
Set the oxygen flow rate lower than 5 l/min. if there is no contraindication from a medical point of view.

Patient's ventilatory volume is extremely low.

The expiratory CO2 is easily affected by oxygen and the capnogram may become inaccurate.

A nasal oxygen cannula not authorised by Nihon-Kohden is used.

If oxygen is administered from an undesirable direction via a non-authorised O2 cannula it may affect the expiratory CO2.
Use an authorised nasal oxygen cannula (e. g. oxygen cannula "V923", Nihon-Kohden, P/N MKD-02-capONE).
For further authorised oxygen cannulae contact the manufacturer Nihon-Kohden (www.nihonkohden.com) or an corpuls sales and service partner.

User Manual corpuls3

Shock Release Synchronisation

Manual defibrillation and cardioversion are automatically performed synchronously. If no R-waves are detected in the ECG (e. g. in case of fibrillation), a shock will immediately be delivered asynchronously when the shock button is pressed (shock release).
Further information regarding manual defibrillation and cardioversion can be found in chapter 5.4 Manual Defibrillation and Cardioversion, page 80.

Warning

A cardioversion may lead to fibrillation or asystole. When performing a cardioversion, mind the following:
· The ECG has to be stable with a heart rate of at least 60/min.
· The synchronisation mode has to be set to SYNC.
· The QRS marks (triangles) have to mark each QRS complex. Do NOT rely on the QRS-/pulse tone alone.
· The shock release has to be effected according to valid guidelines.
· To release a shock, the Shock key at the monitoring unit or the buttons at the shock paddles have to be held down until a shock is released.

Protective Function of the Safety Shock Paddles

Every safety shock paddle possesses a protective electrode between the handle and the application electrode surface. The protective electrodes of both shock paddles are connected to one another inside corpuls3. Consequently, during defibrillation with wet or dirty shock paddles, no dangerous current can flow from one electrode over the body of the user to another electrode, since this current is diverted by the protective electrodes.

G Safety Information

Warning

Failure to observe this safety information may result in injuries to the patient and users.

General
· The corpuls3 is not intended for operation in the vicinity of readily inflammable anaesthetics or other flammable substances, particularly in an oxygen-rich environment.
· The corpuls3 must not be stored or operated near a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit. · The corpuls3 must not be operated near ionising (radioactive) radiation intended for therapeutic purposes. · To avoid stumbling or the patient, user or third parties being entangled in or strangled by cables, they should be led around
the patient, as all medical implements. · When connecting intermediate cables and sensors, make sure there are no foreign objects between the plug connections.
Alarm function
· Do not leave the patient unattended in the following cases: - If the alarm function is deactivated or - Defibrillation mode is called up.
· In case of unsupervised monitoring of vital parameters, it is recommended that you monitor a further vital parameter with another independent monitoring system.
· The option for monitoring measured values may be disabled when switching on the corpuls3 (see chapter 7 Configuration, page 154). Therefore make sure that the alarms are correctly configured.
· Heart rate is only monitored when all electrodes of the ECG monitoring cable or the corPatch electrodes are connected to the patient.
· Check the settings of the alarm limits before each monitoring phase. · Set the volume of the acoustic alarm so that it cannot fail to be heard in loud environments.
Defibrillator
· Make sure that both electrode surfaces of the shock paddles are completely wetted with gel. · The shock paddles must be kept away from other electrodes and/or metal components which are in contact with the patient. · Do not touch the patient during defibrillation. · Make sure that body parts of the patient, such as uncovered skin on the head or extremities, do not touch any metal
components, bed frames or a stretcher to avoid creating any unintended current paths for the defibrillation pulse. · During defibrillation with the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable connected, make sure that all electrodes are attached to the
patient. · During defibrillation with self-adhesive corPatch electrodes Pediatric or Pediatric Extended energy values higher than
100 Joules are prevented by the device due to coding of the electrodes. · In patients with an implanted pacer, detection of shockable rhythms or arrhythmias by the semi-automatic defibrillator in AED
mode may be limited. · The shock paddles and their handles must be cleaned thoroughly after each use. · Defibrillation with other devices is allowed, if the following security measures are taken:
All electrodes of the 4 pole ECG monitoring cable and the complementary 6 pole ECG diagnostic cable connected to the corpuls3 have to be attached to the patient. Unused electrodes must not lie around (see chapter 5.3.3 Defibrillation in AED Mode with Shock Paddles, page 78 and chapter 5.4.3 Manual Defibrillation and Cardioversion with Shock Paddles, page 83). In case of shock release these represent a hazard to the user or other persons.
Pacer
· The pacer must not be operated near high frequency surgical devices or microwave therapy devices.
ECG monitor
· Conductive parts of the ECG electrodes, cables and the plug devices connected to them should not touch any conductive parts including the ground.
· Note the possible risk to the patient during use of several devices from the accumulation of leakage currents. · To achieve as short a recovery time as possible of the ECG after defibrillation, we recommend the disposable ECG electrodes

332

Appendix

which are itemised in the list of accessories (see chapter 10.8 Approved Accessories, Spare Parts and Consumables, page 249). GS Elektromedizinische Geräte G. Stemple GmbH cannot undertake any guarantee in this respect for other disposable ECG electrodes. · If no electrical connection exists between the patient and an electrode of the ECG monitoring cable and/or complementary ECG diagnostic cable, the corpuls3 will issue the alarm message "ECG electrode [X] loose". The alarm message "ECG electrode [X] loose" can be impaired in case of temperatures below the freezing point. If the connection to the black electrode of the 4-pole ECG monitoring cable is cut off, under certain circumstances no alarm may be given. · A nerve stimulator ­ e. g. a brain pacer ­ can modify the ECG on the screen and printer or even completely suppress it.
Masimo SET® pulse oximeter
· This user manual, the warnings and safety information, the operating instructions for the accessories and all preventive information and specifications must be read before use.
· The oximeter must not be used as an apnoea monitor (not authorised for monitoring patients who suffer from sudden respiratory arrest, e. g. during sleep).
· The oximeter should constitute an early warning system. If the trend is towards an insufficient oxygen supply to the patient, blood samples should be analysed by a blood gas analysis device to determine the patient's factual condition.
· Do not use any damaged oximetry sensors and particularly no oximetry sensors with open optical components. · Do not place the oximetry sensor on the same limb as an NIBP cuff for non-invasive blood pressure monitoring, a catheter or
an intravascular access. The cuff pressure influences pulse oximetry during all pressure measurements. An object in the vessel (e. g. infusion needle) may impair perfusion and thereby affect the measurement. · The oximetry sensor must not be fixed to the body in such a way that it influences perfusion or injures the skin. Tissue damage may be caused by incorrect use and application when the oximetry sensor is bound to tightly. Check the sensor surface as described in the instructions for use, to avoid injuries to the skin surface and to guarantee the correct position and adherence of the sensor. · To avoid measuring errors, the sensor must be protected from outside light, particularly in rapidly changing lighting conditions. This applies especially to open systems in contrast to the finger sensors. · The oximeter requires a measurable pulse wave to determine measurement values. If no pulse or only a weak pulse is detected, incorrect measured values may be calculated. · Pulse rate measurement is based on the optical detection of a peripheral flow pulse. Due to this, certain arrhythmias cannot be detected. The oximeter may not be used as substitute for an ECG-based device for arrhythmia analysis. · Very low oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) may cause inaccurate readings of SpCO- and SpMet. · Severe anaemia may cause faulty SpO2 readings. · A synthetic modification of the haemoglobin may cause erroneous SpHb readings. · The measured values may likewise be incorrect if pronounced movement artefacts occur. · The measurement values only lie within the specified range of accuracy (see appendix E, Technical Specifications, page 308) if the signal intensity is sufficient. · Factors which cause unpaired venous returns may likewise result in pulsation. · The measurement may be impaired by an excessively high proportion of dysfunctional haemoglobin, such as carboxyhaemoglobin or methaemoglobin. Likewise, colourants and raised bilirubin levels in the blood may impair the accuracy of the measurement. · The oximeter or the oximetry sensors must not be used during magnetic resonance tomography (MRT). Induced currents could possibly cause fires. The MRT image could be negatively affected by the Masimo SET® oximeter. The accuracy of the oximetry measurement may be impaired by the magnetic resonance tomograph. · The oximeter may be used during defibrillation. Measurements performed subsequently may be inaccurate for a short time. · Also read and understand the warnings in the operating instructions accompanying the different oximetry sensors. · SpO2 is empirically calibrated to functional arterial oxygen saturation in healthy adult volunteers with normal levels of carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) and methaemoglobin (MetHb). An oximeter cannot measure elevated levels of COHb or MetHb. Increase in either COHb or MetHb will affect the accuracy of the SpO2 measurement. · High-intensity, extreme lights (including pulsating strobe lights) directly on the sensor may prevent the oximeter from obtaining readings. · Interfering substances: Carboxyhaemoglobin may erroneously increase SpO2 readings. The level of increase is approximately equal to the amount of carboxyhaemoglobin present. Colourants or any substance containing colourants that change the usual blood pigmentation may cause erroneous readings. · Inaccurate SpO2 readings can be caused by: · For increased COHb: COHb levels above normal tend to increase the level SpO2. The level of increase is approximately equal to the amount of COHb that is present. NOTE: High levels of COHb may occur with a seemingly normal SpO2. When elevated levels of COHb are suspected, laboratory analysis (CO-Oximetry) of a blood sample should be performed. · For increased MetHb: the SpO2 may be decreased by levels of MetHb of up to approximately 10% to 15%. At higher levels of SpMet the levels of SpO2 may tend to read in the low to mid 80s. When elevated levels of MetHb are suspected, laboratory analysis (CO-Oximetry) of a blood sample should be performed.

· A functional tester cannot be utilized to assess the accuracy of the oximeter or any sensors. · Elevated levels of methemoglobin (MetHb) will lead to inaccurate SpO2 and SpCO measurements. · Elevated levels of carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) will lead to inaccurate SpO2 measurements. · Elevated levels of total bilirubin may lead to inaccurate SpO2, SpMet, SpCO and SpHb measurements. · Very low arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels may cause inaccurate SpCO and SpMet measurements. · Severe anaemia may cause erroneous SpO2 readings. · Hemoglobin synthesis disorders may cause erroneous SpHb readings. · If using oximetry during full body irradiation, keep the sensor out of the radiation field. If the sensor is exposed to the
radiation, the reading might be inaccurate or the device might read zero for the duration of the active radiation period. · Additional information specification to Masimo sensors, including information about parameter/measurement performance
during motion and low perfusion, may be found in the sensor's Directions for Use (DFU). · The oximeter may not be operated in the vicinity of ionising (radioactive) radiation, as this may falsify the readings. · The Masimo SET Technology with Masimo sensors has been validated for no motion accuracy in human blood studies on
healthy adult male and female volunteers with light to dark skin pigmentation in induced hypoxia studies in the range of 70100% SpO2 against a laboratory CO oximeter and ECG monitor. This variation equals ±1 standard deviation and encompasses 68% of the population. · The Masimo SET Technology with Masimo sensors has been validated for motion accuracy in human blood studies on healthy adult male and female volunteers with light to dark skin pigmentation in induced hypoxia studies in the range of 70-100% SpO2 against a laboratory CO oximeter and ECG monitor. Rubbing and tapping motions were performed at 2 to 4 Hz at an amplitude of 1 to 2 cm and a non-repetitive motion between 1 to 5 Hz at an amplitude of 2 to 3 cm.

This variation equals ±1 standard deviation and encompasses 68% of the population. · The Masimo SET technology with Masimo sensors has been validated for pulse rate accuracy for the range of 25 - 240 bpm in bench top testing against a Biotek Index 2 simulator. This variation equals ±1 standard deviation and encompasses 68% of the population. · SpHb accuracy has been validated on healthy adult male and female volunteers and on surgical patients with light to dark skin pigmentation in the range of 8-17 g/dl SpHb against a laboratory CO-oximeter. This variation equals ±1 standard deviation and encompasses 68% of the population. The SpHb accuracy has not been validated with motion or low perfusion.

Invasive blood pressure measurement

· Monitoring with two or more transducers: If two or more blood pressure transducers are connected to the corpuls3 for monitoring, these must all be connected to the patient. If one of the transducers is not connected to the patient and lies open or hangs free, this may provide unintended current paths during defibrillation. Use transducers with specified insulation (5 kV DC).
· Carefully read and follow the operating instructions of the transducers you are using. · If non-invasive blood pressure monitoring is also performed on the same limb during invasive blood pressure monitoring, the
non-invasive monitoring will negatively affect the measurement results of the invasive measurement. · Per connection socket at the patient box two transducer ports are merged. These are not insulated from each other (P1 and
P2, P3 and P4). · Invasive blood pressure measurement is not protected against high frequency surgical devices or microwave therapy devices.

Temperature measurement

· Carefully read and follow the operating instructions of the temperature sensor that you are using.

H ECG Analysis during Semi-automatic Defibrillation (AED mode)

Procedure The ECG analysis is performed by a program which analyses the ECG in up to three blocks of 4 seconds with the following result:

· Shock recommended
· Shock not recommended The analysis is performed in each of the three blocks and these individual assessments are subsequently weighted.

Maximum duration of ECG analysis (12 s)

Start Block 1 (4 s)

Block 2 (4 s)

Table A-49 Duration of the maximum ECG analysis

Block 3 (4 s)

Result Refractory time (8 s)

If two of the three blocks yield the result "Shock recommended", the overall result is "Shock recommended". If two of the three blocks yield the result "Shock not recommended", the overall result is "Shock not recommended".
If the result "Shock recommended" is determined after 8 or 12 seconds, a refractory time of 8 seconds begins. The result is not revised during the refractory time, so the user can place the shock paddles on the patient and release a shock without having to worry that readiness to shock will be cancelled due to the disturbances caused by doing so. This refractory time can only be interrupted if another analysis is started by the user.
To avoid wasting time, some procedures in the process will be accelerated if the expected result is certain at an early stage:

If the first block yields the result "Shock recommended", the device will immediately begin to charge energy, to reduce the amount of time from beginning of analysis to readiness to shock.
If the overall outcome is already determined after two analysis blocks with a positive result, the third will be omitted and readiness to shock will begin as soon as the device has finished charging.
The following are defined as shockable rhythms:
· Ventricular fibrillation · Ventricular tachycardia, rate > 180/min

Origin of the data Scope of the measurements

ECG database for validation of the analysis software
The ECG data used originate from recordings from the Creighton University Ventricular Tachyarrhythmia Database1 2 3 as well as from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ­ Beth Israel Hospital (MIT-BIH) Malignant Ventricular Arrhythmia Database 4 5 6. These were recorded with common patient monitors similar to the corpuls3.
Application on validation of the analysis software
A total of 1816 16-s long measurements from ECG sections which constitute a representative crosssection of all ECGs have been included for validation of the analysis software. These measurements were classified by a cardiologist with regard to ECG rhythms and shockability. The threshold between an asystole and a VF was set at an amplitude of 200 V and the threshold between a shockable and a nonshockable VT at a heart rate of 180/min.
The measurements contained in this database were not used for development.

Comment 2: These guidelines may not be applicable in all cases. Propagation of electromagnetic variables is influenced by absorption and reflection via buildings, objects and people.

a The ISM frequency bands (for industrial, scientific and medical applications between 150 kHz and 80 MHz) are 6.765 MHz to 6.795 MHz; 13.553 MHz to 13.567 MHz; 26.957 MHz to 27.283 MHz and 40.66 MHz to 40.70 MHz.
b The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range of 80 MHz and 2.5 GHz are intended to reduce the likelihood that portable/mobile communication devices will be able to cause interference if they are unintentionally brought into the patient area. For this reason, the additional factor 10/3 is applied in calculating the recommended protection distances in these frequency ranges.
c The magnetic force of stationary transmitters, such as base stations of mobile telephones and mobile terrestrial radio devices, amateur radio stations, AM and FM radio and television transmitter can theoretically not be determined in advance. To establish the electromagnetic environment with regard to stationary transmitters, a study of the location should be considered. If the measured magnetic force at the location at which the corpuls3 is used exceeds the above mentioned compliance level, the corpuls3 must be observed to verify function as intended. If unusual performance characteristics are observed, additional measures may be required, such as a modified orientation or another location for the corpuls3.
d Above the frequency range of 150 kHz to 80 MHz the field strength must be less than 3 V/m.

N Disposal of the Device and Accessories
To further preservation and protection of the environment, avoidance of pollution and recycling of raw materials, the European Commission issued a directive decreeing that electrical and electronic devices have to be taken back and correctly disposed of or recycled by the manufacturer. Devices marked with this symbol therefore may not be disposed of in the normal waste within the European Union. The same is true for disposable consumables, such as e. g. electrodes. Please ask your local authorities, your sales and service partner or the manufacture for information on correct disposal.
Information on the disposal of packaging The packaging of our devices is an integral part of our product. The packaging has been especially developed for our product and therefore in general is optimally suited for shipping. In case you have to ship your device within or after the guarantee period to our service team, the original packaging is the best protection from transport damage.
Manufacturer's Keep the original packaging for as long as you have the device in your possession! recommendation
If, however, you want to dispose of the packaging or if it is an external packaging used by us, you may dispose of it by means of your regional institutions (recovered paper container, recycling centre, paper collection etc).
