Failure to do so may cause the Central Monitoring System to be unable to display extended arrhythmia related alarms normally when extended arrhythmia occurs. 8.7.5 Reviewing Arrhythmia Events Please refer to the Review chapter.
Monitoring Respiration (Resp) 9.1 Introduction Impedance respiration is measured across the thorax. When the patient is breathing or ventilated, the volume of air changes in the lungs, resulting in impedance changes between the electrodes. Respiration rate (RR) is calculated from these impedance changes, and a respiration waveform appears on the monitor screen.
9.4 Placing Resp Electrodes Since the same leads are used for ECG and respiration monitoring, the lead placement is very important. Some patients, due to their clinical condition, expand their chest laterally, causing a negative intrathoracic pressure. In these cases it is better to place the two crocodile clips used for respiration monitoring laterally in the right axillary and left lateral chest areas, at the maximum point of the breathing movement, to optimize the respiratory waveform.
9.4.4 Lateral Chest Expansion In clinical applications, some patients expand their chests laterally, causing a negative intrathoracic pressure. In these cases, it is better to place the two respiration electrodes in the right midaxillary and the left lateral chest areas at the patient’s maximum point of the breathing movement to optimize the respiratory waveform.
9.8 Changing Resp Wave Settings WARNING When monitoring in manual detection mode, make sure to check the respiration detection level after you have increased or decreased the size of the respiration wave. In the [Resp Setup] menu, you can: Select [Gain] and then select an appropriate setting.
Monitoring PR 10.1 Introduction The pulse numeric counts the arterial pulsations that result from the mechanical activity of the heart. You can display a pulse from any measured SpO or any arterial pressure (see the IBP section). The displayed pulse numeric is color-coded to match its source.
10.3 Selecting the Active Alarm Source In most cases the HR and pulse numerics are identical. In order to avoid simultaneous alarms on HR and Pulse, the monitor uses either HR or Pulse as its active alarm source. To change the alarm source, select [Alm Source] in the [ECG Setup] or [SpO Setup] menu and then select either: [HR]: The monitor will use the HR as the alarm source for HR/pulse.
Above 1 is optimal, between 0.3 and 1 is acceptable. Below 0.3 indicates low perfusion; reposition the SpO sensor or find a better site. If low perfusion persists, choose another method to measure oxygen saturation if possible. PI is available for the Mindray SpO module or the Masimo SpO module.
Nellcor. The connectors for these three SpO sensors are mutually exclusive. NOTE The Mindray SpO module is not available in North America. The Masimo SpO module is available in North America only.
11.4 Applying the Sensor Select an appropriate sensor according to the module type, patient category and weight. Remove colored nail polish from the application site. Apply the sensor to the patient. Select an appropriate adapter cable according to the connector type and plug this cable into the SpO connector.
For critically ill patients, selecting a shorter averaging time will help in understanding the patient’s state. To set the averaging time: For the Mindray SpO module, select [Sensitivity] in the [SpO Setup] menu and then toggle between [High], ...
Sat-Seconds= Points × Seconds Only when the Sat-Seconds limit is reached, the monitor gives a Sat-Seconds alarm. For example, the figure below demonstrates the alarm response time with a Sat-Seconds limit set at 50 and a low SpO limit set at 90%. In this example, the patient % SpO drops to 88% (2 points) and remains there for 2 seconds.
11.5.9 Setting the SpO Tone Mode Select [Others >>] from the [User Maintenance] menu. In the popup menu, you can set [SpO Tone] as [Mode 1] or [Mode 2]. WARNING The same SpO tone mode shall be used for the same monitors in a single area. ...

Monitoring NIBP 12.1 Introduction The monitor uses the oscillometric method for measuring non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP). Automatic non-invasive blood pressure monitoring uses the oscillometric method of measurement. To understand how this method works, we’ll compare it to the auscultative method. With auscultation, the clinician listens to the blood pressure and determines the systolic and diastolic pressures.
12.2 Safety WARNING Be sure to select the correct patient category setting for your patient before measurement. Do not measure NIBP on patients with sickle-cell disease or any condition where skin damage has occurred or is expected. Use clinical judgement to determine whether to perform frequent unattended blood pressure ...
12.5 Setting Up the NIBP Measurement 12.5.1 Preparing to Measure NIBP Power on the monitor. Verify that the patient category is correct. Change it if necessary. Plug the air tubing into the NIBP connector on the monitor. Select a correct sized cuff and then apply it as follows: Determine the patient’s limb circumference.
The metacarpus, metatarsus and anterior tibial are recommended for the cuff placement. For anesthetized patients, most surgeries are done on the posterior part of the body so the metacarpal area of the forelimb is most convenient. In situations where this is not possible, place the cuff around the metatarsus just proximal to the tarsal pad or around the hind leg next to the hock.
For example, when the clock is enabled, if [Interval] is set to [20min], and then you start NIBP auto measurement at 14: 03, the next measurement will be taken at 14: 20, and the following measurement time will be 14:40, 15:00, and so on. To enable the clock, in the [NIBP Setup] menu, set [Clock] to [On].
12.7 Changing NIBP Settings By selecting the NIBP parameter window, you can enter the [NIBP Setup] menu. 12.7.1 Setting the Initial Cuff Inflation Pressure You can set the initial cuff inflation pressure manually. In the [NIBP Setup] menu, select [Initial Pressure] and then select the appropriate setting.

Batteries 21.1 Overview This monitor is designed to operate on rechargeable Lithium-ion battery power during intra-hospital patient transfer or whenever the power supply is interrupted. The battery is charged automatically when the monitor is connected to AC power, no matter the monitor is powered on or not. Whenever the AC power is interrupted during monitoring, the monitor will automatically run power from the internal batteries.
21.3 Battery Guidelines Life expectancy of a battery depends on how frequent and how long it is used. For a properly maintained and stored lithium ion battery, its life expectancy is about 3 years. For more aggressive use models, life expectancy can be less. We recommend replacing lithium ion batteries every 3 years.
NOTE The battery charge level indicator does not indicate the capacity or operating time of the battery. It only indicates the current battery charge level. The actual battery capacity decreases over time with the use of the battery. For an old battery, its capacity and operating time may not fulfill battery specifications even the battery charge level indicates the battery is in full charge.
