and operate it on smart lithium-ion batteries.

z This equipment is used for single patient at a time.

z Medical electrical equipment which does not incorporate defibrillator protection should be disconnected
during defibrillation.

z Do not defibrillate a patient who lies on the wet ground.

z Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm volume
to a low level or off may result in a hazard to the patient. Remember that alarm settings should be
customized according to different patient situations and always keeping the patient under close
surveillance is the most reliable way for safe patient monitoring.

z Do not perform any functional check if the equipment is connected with a patient; otherwise the patient
might be shocked.

z Remain attentive to the patient during applying therapy. Delay in delivering a shock may result in a
rhythm that was analyzed as shockable converting spontaneously to non-shockable and could result in
inappropriate delivery of a shock.

1-2
 z For the treatment of patients with implantable pacemakers, place therapy pads or paddles away from
internal pacemaker generator if possible to help prevent damage to the pacemaker.

z To avoid inadvertent disconnection, route all cables in a way to prevent a stumbling hazard. Wrap and
secure excess cabling to reduce risk of entanglement or strangulation by patients or personnel.

z Do not touch device connectors, recorder print head, battery connector or other live equipment if in
contact with the patient; otherwise patient injury may result.

z To ensure patient safety, use only parts and accessories specified in this manual.

2 The Basics
2.1 Overview
The BeneHeart (hereinafter called the equipment) is a lightweight and portable defibrillator/monitor. It provides four
operating modes: Monitor, Manual Defib, AED and Pacer.

In Monitor Mode, the equipment is intended for monitoring, displaying, reviewing, storing and printing multiple
physiological parameters and waveforms including ECG, pulse oximetry (SpO2), temperature (Temp), non-invasive
blood pressure (NIBP), invasive blood pressure (IBP) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

In AED mode, the equipment automatically analyzes the patient’s ECG rhythm and indicates whether or not a
shockable rhythm is detected. Voice prompts provide easy-to-follow instructions and patient information to guide
you through the defibrillation process. Messages and flashing buttons are also presented to reinforce the voice
prompts.

In the Manual Defib Mode, the operator analyzes the patient’s ECG, and, if appropriate, follows this procedure:

1 Select the Manual Defib mode, adjust the energy level if necessary;

2 Charge; and

3 Deliver the shock.

Defibrillation may be performed through paddles or multifunction electrode pads. In Manual Defib Mode, you can
also perform synchronized cardioversion. If desired, use of Manual Defib Mode may be password protected.

The Pacer Mode offers non-invasive transcutaneous pacing therapy. Pace pulses are delivered through multifunction
electrode pads. Use of Pacer Mode may also be password protected.

The equipment can be powered by smart lithium ion batteries which are rechargeable and maintenance-free. You can
easily determine the remaining battery charge by viewing the battery power gauge displayed on the screen or by
checking the indicator on the battery itself. An external AC mains or a DC power supply connected through a DC/AC
adapter may also be used as a power source and for continuous battery charging.

The equipment can be connected to a CMS system through a Wi-Fi module and a 3G router and work as part of the
Pre-Hospital Emergency Information System (hereinafter called PHEIS system). With the PHEIS system, you can pass
the pre-hospital patient information to the in-hospital professional medical personnel for better diagnosis and earlier
preparation for treatments.

FOR YOUR NOTES

4-2
5 Alarms
Alarms, triggered by a vital sign that appears abnormal or by technical problems of the equipment, are indicated to the
user by visual and audible alarm indications.

WARNING
z A potential hazard exists if different alarm presets are used for the same or similar device in any single
area, e.g. an intensive care unit or cardiac operating room.

5.1 Alarm Categories

By nature, the equipment’s alarms can be classified into three categories: physiological alarms, technical alarms and
prompt messages.

1. Physiological alarms

Physiological alarms, also called patient status alarms, are triggered by a monitored parameter value that violates
set alarm limits or by an abnormal patient condition. Physiological alarm messages are displayed in the
physiological alarm area. In AED mode, no physiological alarm will be presented.

2. Technical alarms

Technical alarms, also called system status alarms, are triggered by a device malfunction or a patient data distortion
due to improper operation or system failure. Technical alarm messages are displayed in the technical alarm area.

3. Prompt messages

As a matter of fact, prompt messages are not alarm messages. Apart from the physiological and technical alarms,
the equipment also shows some messages indicating system status. Messages of this kind are usually displayed in
the prompt area. Therapy-related prompts are shown in corresponding information area. Some special prompts are
shown in dialog boxes.

5.2 Alarm Levels

By severity, alarms can be classified into three categories: high level alarms, medium level alarms and low level alarms.

Physiological alarms Technical alarms

High level Indicate that your patient is in a life
threatening situation, such as Asystole,
Vfib/Vtac and so forth, and an
emergency treatment is demanded.
Medium Indicate that your patient’s vital signs
level appear abnormal and an immediate
treatment is required.
Low level Indicate that you patient’s vital signs
appear abnormal and an immediate
treatment may be required.
Indicate a severe device malfunction or an improper operation,
which may result that that the equipment cannot detect critical
patient status or may cause therapy failed, and thus threaten the
patient’s life, such as low battery.
Indicate a device malfunction or an improper operation, which
may not threaten the patient’s life but may compromise patient
monitoring or therapy.
Indicate a device malfunction or an improper operation, which
may compromise a certain function but will not threaten the
patient’s life.

5-1
5.3 Alarm Indicators
When an alarm occurs, the equipment indicates it to the user through visual or audible alarm indications.

„ Alarm lamp

„ Alarm tones

„ Alarm message

„ Flashing numeric

NOTE
z When multiple alarms of different levels occur simultaneously, the equipment will select the alarm of the
highest level and give visual and audible alarm indications accordingly. Alarm messages will be displayed
circularly.

z Some physiological alarms, such as Asystole, are exclusive. They have identical alarm tones and alarm
lights with normal high level physiological alarms, but their alarm messages are displayed exclusively.
That is to say, when an exclusive physiological alarm and a normal high level physiological alarms are
triggered simultaneously, only alarm message of the exclusive physiological alarm is displayed.

5.3.1 Alarm Lamps

If an alarm occurs, the alarm lamp will flash. The color and flashing frequency match the alarm level as follows:

„ High level alarms the lamp quickly flashes red.

„ Medium level alarms the lamp slowly flashes yellow.

„ Low level alarms the lamp lights yellow without flashing.

5.3.2 Audible Alarms

The equipment uses different alarm tone patterns to match the alarm level:

„ High level alarms triple + double + triple + double beeps.

„ Medium level alarms triple beeps.

„ Low level alarms single beep.

5.3.3 Alarm Message

When an alarm occurs, the alarm message will appear in the technical or physiological alarm area. For physiological
alarms, the asterisk symbols (*) before the alarm message match the alarm level as follows:

„ High level alarms ***

„ Medium level alarms **

„ Low level alarms *

5-2
 Additionally, the alarm message has different background color which matches the alarm level.
For physiological alarms

„ High level alarms red

„ Medium level alarms yellow

„ Low level alarms yellow

For technical alarms

„ High level alarms: red

„ Medium level alarms: yellow

„ Low level alarms: blue

5.3.4 Flashing Numeric

If an alarm triggered by an alarm limit violation occurs, the numeric of the measurement in alarm will flash every second,
and corresponding alarm limit will also flash at the same frequency indicating the alarm limit is violated.

5.3.5 Alarm Status Symbols

Apart from the aforementioned alarm indicators, the equipment still uses the following symbols telling the alarm status:

„ indicates all alarms are paused.

„ indicates all system alarms are turned off.

„ indicates alarm sounds are paused.

„ indicates alarm sounds are turned off.

5.4 Alarm Tone Configuration

5.4.1 Changing the Alarm Volume
1. Press the Main Menu button on the front panel, and then select [Alarm Setup >>]→[Alm Volume >>].

2. Set [Alm Volume] to an appropriate level:

‹ If [Audio Off] is enabled, alarm volume can be set to a value between 0 and 10, in which 0 means audio off
and 10 the maximum volume level.

‹ If [Audio Off] is disabled, alarm volume can be set to a value between 1 and 10, in which 1 is the minimum
volume level and 10 the maximum.

To disable or enable [Audio Off], access configuration management.

The setting of alarm volume will not be saved when the system is power off.
You can also set alarm volume in configuration mode. In this case, the setting will be saved.

5-3
 NOTE
z You cannot adjust alarm volume when an alarm is switched off.

5.4.2 Setting the Interval between Alarm Sounds

1. Press the Main Menu button on the front panel, and then select [Others >>]→ [Configuration >>]→enter the
required password.

2. Select [Alarm Setup >>] to enter the [Alarm Setup] menu.

3. Respectively set [High Alarm Interval (s)], [Med Alarm Interval (s)] and [Low Alarm Interval (s)].

WARNING
z Do not rely exclusively on audible alarm system. Setting alarm volume to a low level may result in a hazard
to the patient. Always keep the patient under close surveillance.

5.5 Understanding the Alarm Setup Menu

Press the Main Menu button on the front panel, and then select [Alarm Setup >>] to enter the Alarm Setup menu.

5.5.1 Setting Alarm Properties for All Parameters

In the main menu, select [Alarm Setup >>]→[Para. Alarm >>] to enter the Para. Alarm setup menu, where you can
review and set alarm limits, alarm switches, alarm level and alarm recordings for all parameters.

„ When a parameter alarm is switched on, the equipment gives alarm indications in accordance with the preset
alarm level and stores related waveforms and parameter values.

5-4
 „ When a parameter alarm is switched off, the alarm off symbol “ ” is displayed in the parameter window. For

NIBP and IBP, the alarm off symbol “ ” is displayed only when all the NIBP or IBP alarms are switched off

simultaneously.

„ If the measurement’s [On/Off] and [Record] are set to [On], automatic recording of all the measurement numerics
and related waveforms is possible when a measurement alarm occurs.

To reset the default settings, select the [Defaults] button.

NOTE
z You cannot simultaneously switch on HR and PR alarms. In the case that PR alarm is on, switching on HR
alarm will automatically turn off PR alarm, and vice versa.

You can also set parameter alarm properties by selecting a parameter window and select [Para. Alarm >>] in the
pop-up menu.

WARNING
z Make sure that the alarm limits settings are appropriate for your patient before patient monitoring.

z Setting the alarm limit to an extreme value may cause the alarm system to be ineffective. For example,
high oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to retrolental fibroplasia. If this is a consideration,
do NOT set the SpO2 high alarm limit to 100%, which is equivalent to switching the alarm off.

5.5.2 Adjusting Alarm Limits Automatically

The defibrillator/monitor can automatically adjust the patient’s alarm limits according to the measured vital signs. When
[Auto Limits] is selected, the equipment automatically calculates alarm limits based on the latest measured parameter
values.

To enable auto alarm limits, press the Main Menu button on the equipment’s front panel, and then select [Alarm Setup
>>]→[Para. Alarm>>]→[Auto Limits] →[Ok].
You can also access [Auto Limits] by select a parameter window to enter the [Para. Alarm] menu.

When auto alarm limits have been applied, you can manually adjust the alarm limits through the Para. Alarm Setup
menu so that they are appropriate for your patient.

The defibrillator/monitor calculates the auto limits based on the following rules.

5-10
6 Monitoring ECG
6.1 Overview
The electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart and displays it as waveforms and numerics. The
equipment enables ECG monitoring through 3-, 5-, 12- lead ECG sets, external paddles and multifunction electrode pads.
If both ECG sets and paddles/pads are connected, the configured ECG waveforms are displayed in the waveform area.

6.2 Safety

WARNING
z Periodically inspect the electrode application site to ensure skin quality. If the skin quality changes,
replace the electrodes or change the application site.

z Use defibrillation-proof ECG cables during defibrillation.

z When monitoring a patient implanted with a pacemaker, be sure to select correct paced status. Otherwise,
the pacing pulses may be counted in the case of cardiac arrest or some arrhythmias. Do not completely rely
on the heart rate reading or the heart rate alarms. Always keep paced patients under close surveillance.

NOTE
z When connecting electrodes and/or patient cables, make sure that the connectors never come into contact
with other conductive parts, or with earth. Particularly make sure that all of the ECG electrodes are
attached to the patient.

z Interference from a non-grounded instrument near the patient and electrosurgery interference may cause
problems with the waveform.

z If selected lead cannot provide valid ECG signals, a dash line is shown in the ECG waveform area.

z Avoid using external paddles for ECG monitoring if possible.

z Use the same type of ECG electrodes when monitoring ECG through ECG lead set.

6-1
6.3 Monitoring View

You can access Monitor mode by switching the Mode Select knob to the Monitor position. When operating in Monitor
mode, the equipment displays up to two ECG waveforms, the heart rate reading, other available parameter values and
active alarm settings.

6.4 Preparing to Monitor ECG

6.4.1 ECG Monitoring with Electrodes
1. Prepare the patient’s skin. Proper skin preparation is necessary for good signal quality at the electrode, as the skin is
a poor conductor of electricity. To properly prepare the skin, choose flat areas and then follow this procedure:

‹ Shave hair from skin at chosen sites.

‹ Gently rub skin surface at application sites to remove dead skin cells.

‹ Thoroughly clean the sites with mild soap and water. We do not recommend using ether or pure alcohol,
because this dries the skin and increases the resistance.

‹ Dry the skin completely before applying the electrodes.

2. Attach the clips or snaps to the electrodes before placing them.

3. Place the electrodes on the patient.

4. Attach the lead wires to the ECG trunk cable and then plug the trunk cable into the equipment’s ECG connector.

5. Connect the ECG trunk cable to the equipment.

6. Switch the Mode Select knob to Monitor.

6-2
6.4.1.1 Placing Electrodes

3-Lead Placement

The following is a typical AHA electrode placement for a 3-lead ECG set:

„ RA placement: directly below the clavicle and near the right shoulder.

„ LA placement: directly below the clavicle and near the left shoulder.

„ LL placement: on the left lower abdomen.

5-Lead Placement

The following is a typical AHA electrode placement for a 5-lead ECG set:

„ RA placement: directly below the clavicle and near the right shoulder.

„ LA placement: directly below the clavicle and near the left shoulder.

„ RL placement: on the right lower abdomen.

„ LL placement: on the left lower abdomen.

„ V placement: on the chest.

The chest (V) electrode can be placed on one of the following positions:

„ V1 placement: on the fourth intercostal space at the right sternal border.

„ V2 placement: on the fourth intercostal space at the left sternal border

„ V3 placement: midway between the V2 and V4 electrode positions.

„ V4 placement: on the fifth intercostal space at the left midclavicular line.

„ V5 placement: on the left anterior axillary line, horizontal with the V4 electrode
position.

„ V6 placement: on the left midaxillary line, horizontal with the V4 electrode position.

„ V3R-V6R placement: on the right side of the chest in positions corresponding to

those on the left.

„ VE placement: over the xiphoid process.

„ V7 placement: on posterior chest at the left posterior axillary line in the fifth
intercostal space.

„ V7R placement: on posterior chest at the left posterior axillary line in the fifth intercostal space.

Electrode Placement for Surgical Patients

The surgical site should be taken into consideration when placing electrodes on a surgical patient, e.g. for open-chest
surgery, the chest electrodes can be placed on the lateral chest or back. To reduce artifacts and interference from
electrosurgical units, you can place the limb electrodes close to the shoulders and lower abdomen and the chest
electrodes on the left side of the mid-chest. Do not place the electrodes on the upper arm. Otherwise, the ECG
waveform will be very small.

6-3
 WARNING
z When using electrosurgical units (ESU), place ECG electrodes between the ESU and its grounding plate to
prevent unwanted burns. Never entangle ESU cable and ECG cable together.

z When using electrosurgical units (ESU), never place ECG electrodes near to the grounding plate of the ESU,
as this can cause a lot of interference on the ECG signal.

6.4.2 ECG Monitoring with Paddles/Pads

1. Prepare the patient’s skin.

2. Apply the paddles/pads to the patient.

„ If multifunction electrode pads are used, apply pads according to the instructions for use indicated on pads
package. Use anterior-lateral placement.

‹ If external paddles are used, remove the paddle set from the paddle tray by grasping the handles and
pulling them straight up. Apply conductive gel to paddle electrodes. Place the paddles to the patient’s
chest using the anterior-lateral placement.

3. If multifunction electrode pads are used, connect the pads to the pads cable.

4. Connect paddles/pads cable with the equipment if not connected.

Anterior-lateral Paddles/Pads placement

1. Place the RA pad or Sternum paddle on the patient’s upper right torso, lateral to the sternum and below the clavicle,
as shown below.

2. Place the LL pad, or Apex paddle to the patient’s left nipple in the midaxillary line, with the center of the electrode
in the midaxillary line, if possible. See the figure below.

NOTE
z Anterior - lateral placement is the only placement that can be used for ECG monitoring with paddles/pads
accessories.

6-4
6.4.3 Checking Paced Status

It is important to set the paced status correctly when you start monitoring ECG. The paced symbol is displayed

when the [Paced] is set to [Yes]. The pace pulse markers “︱” are shown on the ECG wave when the patient has a paced
signal.

To change the paced status, you can select either:

„ [Main Menu]→[Patient Demographics>>]→[Paced], or

„ The ECG parameter window to enter the [ECG Setup] menu, and then, select [Others>>]→[Paced],

and toggle between [Yes] and [No].

Warning
z For paced patients, you must set [Paced] to [Yes]. If it is incorrectly set to [No], the patient monitor could
mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm when the ECG signal is too weak. Do not rely entirely on
rate meter alarms when monitoring patients with pacemakers. Always keep these patients under close
surveillance.

z For non-paced patients, you must set [Paced] to [No]. If it is incorrectly set to [Yes], the equipment may be

7 Resting 12-Lead ECG
7.1 Overview
The optional resting 12-lead ECG function is available in Monitor mode and allows you to acquire, analyze, store, print,
and transmit a 12-lead ECG.

For resting 12-lead ECG, the available filter mode settings are [Diagnostic] and [ST]. The default is [ST]. When [Filter] is
set to [ST], the notch filter is always [On]. When [Filter] is set to [Diagnostic], you can switch the notch filter [On] or [Off]
as required.

7.2 Placing Electrodes

12-lead ECG uses 10 electrodes, which are placed on the patient’s four limbs and chest.

The limb electrodes are typically placed on the wrists and ankles on the inside of the
four limbs as shown below

„ RA: above the right wrist, inside the right arm, and below the elbow;

„ LA: above the left wrist, inside the left arm, and below the elbow;

„ RL: above the right ankle, inside the right leg, and below the knee;

„ LL: above the left ankle, inside the left leg, and below the knee.

However, you can place the limb electrodes anywhere along the limbs.

The chest electrodes are placed on the chest as shown in the figure or according to the patient’s actual situation.

„ V1: on the fourth intercostal space at the right sternal border.

„ V2: on the fourth intercostal space at the left sternal border

„ V3: midway between the V2 and V4 electrode positions.

„ V4: on the fifth intercostal space at the left midclavicular line.

„ V5: on the left anterior axillary line, horizontal with the V4 electrode position.

„ V6: on the left midaxillary line, horizontal with the V4 electrode position.

The surgical site should be taken into consideration when placing electrodes on a
surgical patient, e.g. for open-chest surgery, the chest electrodes can be placed on the lateral chest or back. To reduce
artifacts and interference from electrosurgical units, you can place the limb electrodes close to the shoulders and lower
abdomen and the chest electrodes on the left side of the mid-chest. Do not place the electrodes on the upper arm.
Otherwise, the ECG waveform will be very small.

7-1
 WARNING
z When using electrosurgical units (ESU), place ECG electrodes between the ESU and its grounding plate to
prevent unwanted burns. Never entangle ESU cable and ECG cable together.

z When using electrosurgical units (ESU), never place ECG electrodes near to the grounding plate of the ESU,
as this can cause a lot of interference on the ECG signal.

8 AED
8.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to operate the equipment in AED Mode. While operating in AED Mode, the equipment
analyses the patient’s ECG waveforms and guides you through the defibrillation process.

The equipment starts analyzing the patient’s heart rhythm immediately after entering AED mode. When a shockable
rhythm is detected, the equipment gives a prompt and automatically starts charging. If a shockable rhythm is not
detected, a “No shock advised” prompt is given. Smart defibrillation analysis goes through automated external
defibrillation until the equipment enters CPR or abnormal pads connection occurs.

While operating in AED Mode, the capabilities of the device are limited to those essential to the performance of
semi-automated external defibrillation. Only ECG signals acquired through pads are displayed. Previously set alarms and
scheduled measurements are indefinitely paused and entry of patient information is disabled. Additionally, the Lead
Select, Alarm Pause, NIBP Start/Stop and Main Menu buttons are inactive.

8.2 Safety

DANGER
z Defibrillation current can cause operator or bystander severe injury or even death. Never touch the
patient or any equipment connected to the patient (including the bed or gurney) during defibrillation.

z Avoid contact between parts of the patient’s body such as exposed skin of head or limbs, conductive fluids
such as gel, blood, or saline, and metal objects such as a bed frame or a stretcher which may provide
unwanted pathways for the defibrillating current.

z Do not allow multifunction electrode pads to touch each other or to touch other ECG monitoring
electrodes, lead wires, dressings, etc. Contact with metal objects may cause electrical arcing and patient
skin burns during defibrillation and may divert current away from the heart.

z To avoid explosion hazard, do not use the equipment in the presence of oxygen-rich atmospheres,
flammable anesthetics, or other flammable agents (such as gasoline). Keep the equipment and the
operating environment dry and clean.

WARNING
z During defibrillation, air pockets between the skin and multifunction electrode pads can cause patient
skin burns. To help prevent air pockets, make sure defibrillation pads are completely adhered to the skin.

z Do not use dried-out pads.

z In AED mode, this equipment is not designed to administer energy at pediatric joule settings. The
American Heart Association recommends AEDs be used only on patients who are more than eight years
old.

8-1
 CAUTION
z Aggressive handling of multifunction electrode pads in storage or prior to use can damage the pads.
Discard the pads if they become damaged.

z For patients with implantable pacemaker, the sensitivity and specificity of AED algorithm may be
impaired.

8.3 AED View

A typical screen in AED Mode is shown below.

In AED mode, HR numeric and one ECG waveform acquired from the multifunction electrode pads are displayed. Below
the ECG is the information area which displays the defibrillation mode, prompt message, contact impedance indicator,
selected energy and a shock counter.

For details about the contact impedance indicator, refer to 9.7 Contact Impedance Indicator.

8.4 AED Procedure

Confirm that the patient is unresponsive, not breathing or not breathing normally.

Then:

1. Remove clothing from the patient’s chest. Wipe moisture from the patient’s chest and, if necessary, clip or shave
excessive chest hair.

2. Apply multifunction electrode pads to the patient as directed on the pads package. Use anterior-lateral placement.

3. Connect the pads with pads cable, and then plug the pads cable in the equipment’s therapy port.

4. Turn the Mode Select knob to AED.

8-2
When the equipment enters AED mode, it checks to see if the pads and pads cable are properly connected. If not, the
message “Connect Pads Cable” or “Apply Pads” will appear in the AED information area until corrective action has been
taken.

5. Follow the screen and voice prompts.

Once an ECG is detected through the multifunction electrode pads, the equipment automatically analyzes the patient’s
heart rhythm and warns you not to touch the patient. If a shockable rhythm is detected, the equipment charges
automatically.

You can switch on/off the voice prompt by accessing configuration management or adjust the volume of the voice
prompts by pressing the voice volume soft key.

6. Press the Shock button, if prompted.

Once charging is complete, the equipment gives prompt “Do Not Touch Patient! Press Shock Button”. Make sure no
one is touching the patient, bed or any equipment connected to the patient. Call out clearly and loudly “Stay Clear”.
Then press the Shock button on the front panel to deliver a shock to the patient.

Delivery of the shock is confirmed by the voice and screen prompt "Shock Delivered" and the shock counter on the
display is updated to reflect the number of shocks given. If the configured [Shock Series] is greater than one, the
equipment resumes analyzing the patient’s rhythm after the shock is delivered to see if the shock was successful. Voice
and text prompts continue to guide you through additional shocks.

NOTE
z Do not use anterior-posterior pads placement (multifunction electrode pads placed on the patient’s chest
and back). The AED algorithm used by the equipment has not been validated using this placement.

z Motion artifact may delay analysis or affect the ECG signal resulting in an inappropriate shock or no shock
advised message. Keep the patient still during ECG rhythm analysis.

z The Shock button must be pressed to deliver a shock. The equipment will not automatically deliver a
shock.

z Impedance is the resistance between the defibrillator’s pads or paddles that the defibrillator must
overcome to deliver an effective discharge of energy. The degree of impedance differs from patient to
patient and is affected by several factors including the presence of chest hair, moisture, and lotions or
powders on the skin. If the “Impedance too high. Shock not delivered” message appears, make sure that
the patient’s skin has been washed and dried and that any chest hair has been clipped. If the message
persists, change the pads and/or the pads cable.

8-3
8.5 Shock Advised
If a shockable rhythm is detected, the equipment automatically charges to the pre-configured energy level. A charging
tone is sounded, and the Shock button flashes when the equipment is fully charged.

Heart rhythm analysis continues while the equipment charges. If a rhythm change is detected before the shock is
delivered and a shock is no longer appropriate, the stored energy is removed internally.

Once you are prompted "Do Not Touch Patient! Press Shock Button", if you do not do so within the configured Auto
Disarm time interval, the equipment disarms itself and resumes analyzing.

When the equipment is being charged or have been fully charged, you can remove the charged energy at any time by
pressing the [Pause for CPR] soft key.

For defibrillation of adult patients, recommended energy level is 200 Joules.

8.6 No Shock Advised (NSA)

If a shockable rhythm is not detected, the equipment will tell you "No Shock Advised!".

„ If the [NSA Action] is set to [CPR]

The equipment enters CPR status and you will see and hear “No Shock Advised! Paused. If Needed, Begin CPR.”
The remaining pause time is displayed as shown below. The pause period can be defined by setting [CPR Time]
through configuration management.

Analysis resumes at the completion of the pause period or when you press the [Resume Analyzing] soft key in CPR
status.

„ If the [NSA Action] is set to [Monitor]

The equipment continues to monitor the ECG and automatically resumes analysis if a potentially shockable rhythm
is detected. You will hear “No Shock Advised! If needed press pause for CPR”. The message "No Shock Advised!"
and “Monitoring” are shown circularly in the AED information area.

You can define the frequency of these prompts by adjusting [Voice Prompts Interval] through configuration
management. You may press the [Pause for CPR] soft key to suspend monitoring and administer CPR. The pause
period can be defined by setting [CPR Time] through configuration management.

8-4
8.7 CPR
If [Initial CPR Time] is not configured as Off, the system enters initial CPR if AED mode is entered. You can set [Initial
CPR Time] to an appropriate time or switch it off through configuration management.

After the shock series, ECG analysis pauses and the equipment enters the CPR status. Analysis resumes at the completion
of the pause period or when you press the [Resume Analyzing] soft key in CPR status.

In current shock series, the equipment enters the CPR status if you press the [Pause for CPR] soft key after a shock is
delivered. The CPR pause time is defined by setting [CPR Time] through configuration management.

NOTE
z You can start analyzing patient’s heart rhythm again at any time by pressing the [Resume Analyzing] soft
key in CPR status.

8.7.1 CPR Metronome

The equipment provides a CPR metronome feature that can be used to encourage rescuers to perform chest
compression and ventilation at AHA/ERC recommended rate.

When activated, the metronome sounds 120 times per minute and give voice prompts to indicate the rescuers to
perform ventilation at configured compression/ventilation rate.

To activate or deactivate CPR metronome,

1． Move the Mode Select knob to Monitor, Manual Defib or Pacer. Press the Main Menu button on the front panel, and
then select→ [Others >>]→[Configuration >>]→Enter the required password.

The CPR metronome is activated by default. When CPR metronome is on, you can set the compression/ventilation rate
by selecting [CPR Mode]. The default rate is 30:2.

Warning
z The CPR metronome sounds do not indicate information regarding the patient’s condition. Because
patient status can change in a short time, the patient should be assessed at all times. Do not perform CPR
on a patient who is responsive or is breathing normally.

NOTE
z CPR metronome and its volume is affected by the settings of [Voice Prompt] and [Voice Volume] in the AED
Setup menu.

9 Manual Defibrillation
9.1 Overview
This chapter explains how to prepare for and perform asynchronous defibrillation and synchronous cardioversion using
multifunction electrode pads and external paddles.

In Manual Defib Mode, you must assess the ECG waveforms, decide if defibrillation or cardioversion is indicated, select
appropriate energy setting, charge the equipment, and deliver the shock. Text messages and a contact impedance
indicator on the screen provide relevant information to guide your throughout the defibrillation process.

While operating manual defibrillation, besides ECG you can select to monitor up to three parameters from SpO2, NIBP,
CO2, IBP and Temp. You can define the parameters to be monitored through configuration management. All the
monitored parameters, except ECG, are switched off by default.

In Manual Defib mode, if NIBP measurement is being taken when you press the Charge button, the equipment stops
NIBP measurements. You can start NIBP manually only after charging is completed or when the energy is removed.

Alarms are turned off automatically when you enter Manual Defib mode. Pressing the Alarm Pause button can turn on
the alarms.

9.2 Safety

DANGER
z Defibrillation current can cause operator or bystander severe injury or even death. Never touch the
patient or any equipment connected to the patient (including the bed or gurney) during defibrillation.

z Avoid contact between parts of the patient’s body such as exposed skin of head or limbs, conductive fluids
such as gel, blood, or saline, and metal objects such as a bed frame or a stretcher which may provide
unwanted pathways for the defibrillating current.

z Do not allow multifunction electrode pads and paddles to touch each other or to touch other ECG
monitoring electrodes, lead wires, dressings, etc. Contact with metal objects may cause electrical arcing
and patient skin burns during defibrillation and may divert current away from the heart.

z During manual defibrillation, make sure your hands are dry and free from conductive gel to avoid shock
hazard.

z Use care when operating this equipment close to oxygen sources (such as bag-valve-mask devices or
ventilator tubing). Turn off gas source or move source away from patient during defibrillation. This can
cause an explosion hazard.

9-1
 WARNING
z During synchronous cardioversion, if monitoring patient’s ECG through external paddles, artifact
introduced by paddle movement may resemble an R-wave and trigger a defibrillation shock.

z Do not use conductive liquid. Use only conductive gel specified by the equipment manufacturer.

z If external paddles are used for defibrillation, apply the paddles tightly and evenly to the patient’s chest to
ensure good skin contact.

z Never apply the paddles to human body to verify paddle connection.

z Clinicians must select an appropriate energy level for defibrillation of pediatric patients.

CAUTION
z Use of Manual Defib mode may be password protected. Make sure the operator knows and remembers the
password as defined in Configuration. Failure to enter correct password will prevent the delivery of
manual defibrillation therapy.

z Clear the conductive gel from the external paddles at the completion of the therapy to prevent the
paddles from being corroded.

z Prior to using this defibrillator, disconnect from the patient all equipment that is not
defibrillator-protected.

NOTE
z Impedance is the resistance between the defibrillator’s pads or paddles that the defibrillator must
overcome to deliver an effective discharge of energy. The degree of impedance differs from patient to
patient and is affected by several factors including the presence of chest hair, moisture, and lotions or
powders on the skin. If the “Impedance too high. Shock not delivered” message appears, make sure that
the patient’s skin has been washed and dried and that any chest hair has been clipped. If the message
persists, change the pads and/or the pads cable.

z Alarms are switched off automatically and the “Alarm Off” message is displayed when the equipment
enters the asynchronous defibrillation mode. Alarms remain off until toggled on by pressing the Alarm
Pause button, the Sync mode is entered, or the Mode Select knob is moved to Monitor or Pacer.

7. Make sure no one is touching the patient or anything connected to the patient.

8. Press the Shock key on the front panel.

9-5
 Using internal paddles for synchronized cardioversion requires that the patient’s ECG be acquired through a standard
ECG cable. The patient’s ECG acquired through the internal paddles may be unreliable for synchronized cardioversion
due to excessive noise or artifact causing inappropriate R-wave detection.

NOTE
z When internal paddles are used for defibrillation, the energy selection is automatically limited to 50 joules
because of possible cardiac damage from higher energies.

z Sterilize the internal paddles before each use. Otherwise, severe infection may result.

z Clean the internal paddles after each use.

9.5 Synchronized Cardioversion

Synchronized Cardioversion allows you to synchronize delivery of the defibrillator shock with the R-wave of the ECG. You
may choose to perform synchronized cardioversion through either:

„ Multifunction electrode pads, or

„ External paddles

To use synchronized cardioversion, press the [Enter Sync] soft key in the asynchronous defibrillation mode. Then “Sync”

NOTE
z During remote synchronous defibrillation, the local defibrillator/monitor does not display the ECG
waveform. To view the patient’s ECG, check the remote monitor.

z When you use an remote monitor as the ECG source, a biomedical technician must verify that the remote
monitor and the defibrillator/monitor combination will deliver a synchronized shock within 60 ms of the
peak of the R-wave.

9.7 Contact Impedance Indicator

Contact impedance indicator is used to indicate the impedance between the defibrillator’s pads or paddles in Manual
Defib or AED mode, as shown below:

Contact Impedance
Indicator

Different levels of the measured impedance are shown as follows:

„ indicates the impedance is in normal range.

„ indicates the impedance is slightly higher for the defibrillation.

„ indicates the impedance is too high for the defibrillation or the pads or paddles are not

properly connected to the patient.

„ indicates the therapy cable is not properly connected.

To switch on the contact impedance indicator:

1. In Monitor, Manual Defib or Pacer mode, press the Main Menu button on the front panel, and then select→
[Others >>]→[Configuration >>]→Enter the required password.

FOR YOUR NOTES

9-10
10 Noninvasive Pacing
10.1 Overview
In pacer mode, the patient’s ECG is monitored through ECG lead set and pace pulses are delivered through multifunction
electrode pads. The pads cannot be used to monitoring ECG rhythm and deliver pacing current at the same time.

A white pacing marker is shown on the ECG waveform each time a pacer pulse is delivered to the patient. If pacing in
demand mode, white R-wave marker also appears on the ECG waveform until capture occurs.

During pacing, parameters except Resp continue to be monitored and parameter alarms remain active.

In demand mode pacing, a 3-lead or 5-lead ECG cable and electrodes are required to acquire ECG signal. Pace pulses are
delivered through multifunction electrode pads. However, the pads cannot be used to monitor the ECG and deliver pace
pulses simultaneously.

NOTE
z In Pacer mode, arrhythmia analysis is supported and available arrhythmia alarms are asystole, ventricular
vibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.

10.2 Safety

WARNING
z Heart rate displays and alarms function during pacing, but they can be unreliable. Observe the patient
closely while pacing. Do not rely on the indicated heart rate or heart rate alarms as a measure of the
patient’s perfusion status.

z To avoid explosion hazard when pacing a patient who is receiving oxygen delivery, properly route the
oxygen delivery tube. Do not keep it close to the multifunction electrode pads.

10-1
 CAUTION
z Use of Pacer mode may be password protected. Make sure the operator knows and remembers the
password as defined in Configuration. Failure to enter correct password will prevent the delivery of pacing
therapy.

z For treatment of patients with implanted devices such as permanent pacemakers or

cardioverter-defibrillators, consult a physician and the instructions for use provided by the device’s
manufacturer

z Prolonged noninvasive pacing may cause patient skin irritation and burns. Periodically inspect the
underlying skin and change ECG electrodes and multifunction electrode pads.

NOTE

z If pacing is interrupted for any reason, the [Start Pacing] soft key must be pressed to resume pacing.

z In pacer mode, you cannot change the patient’s internal paced status from the ECG Setup menu.

z In the case that pads poorly contact the patient, the alarm “Pacer Stopped Abnormally” and “Pads Off”
may be presented.

z Pads are not an available choice for the source of ECG waveform in Pacer mode.

10.3 Pacing View

A typical screen in pacer Mode is shown below.

In pacer mode, an ECG waveform, related parameters and waveforms are displayed. The pacer information area shows
the pacer mode, pacer rate and output, as well as pacer-related prompts and alarms. Soft keys available for setting
pacing functions are also displayed.

10-2
10.4 Demand Mode versus Fixed Mode
The equipment can deliver paced pulses in either demand or fixed mode.

„ In demand mode, the pacer only delivers paced pulses when the patient’s heart rate is lower than the selected
pacing rate.

„ In fixed mode, the pacer delivers paced pulses at the selected rate.

During pacing, you can change pacer mode. Then the equipment continues to deliver pace pulses at selected pacer rate
and pacer output.

CAUTION
z Use demand mode pacing whenever possible. Use fixed mode pacing if noise or artifact interferes with
proper sensing of R-wave or when monitoring electrodes are not available.

z During fixed mode pacing, R-wave markers do not appear on the paced beats.

z During demand mode pacing, spontaneous beats may be presented which are not associated with the
delivery of pace pulse. If the patient’s heart rate is above the pacer rate, pace pulses are not delivered and,
therefore, pacing markers do not appear.

10.5 Preparing for Pacing

1. If not pre-connected, connect the pads cable to the equipment. Then push until you hear it click into place.

2. Make sure the multifunction electrode pads packaging is intact and within the expiration date shown.

3. Connect the pads connector to the pads cable.

4. Apply the pads to the patient using anterior-lateral or anterior-posterior placement.

5. If pacing in demand mode, apply monitoring electrodes, and connect the ECG cable to the equipment. To get the
best monitoring signal, make sure there is adequate space between ECG electrodes and therapy electrodes. Refer
to 6.4.1 ECG Monitoring with Electrodes.

10-3
10.5.1 Demand Mode Pacing
To pace in demand mode:

1. Turn the Mode Select knob to the Pacer position. Thus the pacing function is enabled in demand mode
automatically. ECG waveform of Lead II is displayed in the waveform area by default.

You can access manual therapy directly, by confirmation or by password, which can be defined through
configuration management. The default setting is [Direct].

‹ If [Manual Therapy Access] is set to [Direct], the equipment directly enters Pacer mode when the Mode
Select knob is switched to Pacer.

‹ If [Manual Therapy Access] is set to [Confirmed], a dialog box pops up when the Mode Select knob is
switched to Pacer. You have to confirm whether to enter Pacer mode or not.

‹ If [Manual Therapy Access] is set to [Password], a dialog box pops up, requiring the user to enter a
password, when the Mode Select knob is switched to Pacer. The equipment enters Pacer mode only after
correct password is entered.

2. Select a lead with an easily detectable R-wave.

3. Verify that white R-wave markers appear above the R-waves, as shown in the figure below. If the R-wave markers do
not appear or do not coincide with the R-waves, for example above the T-waves, select another lead.

4. Select pacer rate. If necessary, select initial pacer output. To select pacer rate or pacer output, rotate the Navigation
knob to select an appropriate value and press it to confirm the selection. Do not forget to press the Navigation
knob to exit the setting after desired value is selected.

5. Press the [Start Pacing] soft key to start pacing. The message “Pacing” appears in the pacer information area.

NOTE

z Pacing will not start if there is a problem with the pads cable connection, pad patient connection, or ECG
monitoring electrodes connection. If either situation occurs, a message will appear in the pacer
information area to alert you that a lead is disconnected or that the pads have a poor connection.

6. Verify that white pacing markers appear on the ECG waveform, as shown below:

Pacing mark

10-4
 7. Adjust pacer output: increase pacer output until cardiac capture occurs (capture is indicated by the appearance of a
QRS complex after each pacing marker), and then decrease the output to the lowest level that still maintains
capture.

8. Verify the presence of a peripheral pulse.

You can temporarily withhold pacing pulse and observe the patient’s underlying rhythm by pressing and holding the
[4:1] soft key. This causes pacing pulse to be delivered at 1/4 of the defined pacer rate. To resume pacing at set rate,
release this key.

To stop pacing, press the [Stop Pacing] soft key. Pressing the [Start Pacing] soft key can resume pacing.

CAUTION
z Routinely assess the patient’s cardiac output.

10.5.2 Fixed Mode Pacing

To pace in fixed mode:

3. If ECG electrodes are applied, use the Lead Select button to select the desired lead for viewing.

4. Select pacer rate. If necessary, select pacer output. To select pacer rate or pacer output, rotate the Navigation knob
to select an appropriate value and press it to confirm the selection.

5. Start pacing.

Press the [Start Pacing] soft key to start pacing. The message “Pacing” appears in the pacer information area.

6. Verify that white pacing markers appear on the ECG waveform.

7. Adjust pacer output: increase pacer output until cardiac capture occurs (capture is indicated by the appearance of a
QRS complex after each pacing marker), and then decrease the output to the lowest level that still maintains
capture.

8. Verify the presence of a peripheral pulse.

10-5
You can temporarily withhold pacing pulse and observe the patient’s underlying rhythm by pressing and holding the
[4:1] soft key. This causes pacing pulse to be delivered at 1/4 of the defined pacer rate. To resume pacing at set rate,
release this key.

To stop pacing, press the [Stop Pacing] soft key.

WARNING
z Use care when handling the multifunction electrode pads on the patient to avoid shock hazard during
pacing.

z If you are using the pacing function with battery power and the Low Battery alarm is presented, connect
the equipment to external power or install a fully charged battery.

CAUTION
z The monitoring or pacing function may be unstable in the presence of ESU or other electronic devices.

11 Monitoring Resp
11.1 Overview
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 equipment screen.

11.2 Safety

WARNING
z When monitoring the patient’s respiration, do not use ESU-proof ECG cables.

z The respiration measurement does not recognize obstructive and mixed apneas: it only indicates an alarm
when a pre-adjusted time had elapsed since the last detected breath. The safety and effectiveness of the
respiration measurement method in the detection of apnea, especially the apnea of prematurity and
apnea of infancy, has not been established.

11.4 Placing Resp Electrodes
As the skin is a poor conductor of electricity, preparing the skin is necessary for a good Respiration signal. You can refer
to the ECG section for how to prepare the skin.

As the Respiration measurement adopts the standard ECG electrode placement, you can use different ECG cables (3-lead,
5-lead, or 12-lead). Since the respiration signal is measured between two ECG electrodes, if a standard ECG electrode
placement is applied, the two electrodes should be RA and LA of ECG Lead I, or RA and LL of ECG Lead II.

NOTE
z To optimize the respiration waveform, place the RA and LA electrodes horizontally when monitoring
respiration with ECG Lead I; place the RA and LL electrodes diagonally when monitoring respiration with
ECG Lead II.

Lead I Lead II

11-2
11.4.1 Optimizing Lead Placement for Resp
If you want to measure Resp and you are already measuring ECG, you may need to optimize the placement of the two
electrodes between which Resp will be measured. Repositioning ECG electrodes from standard positions results in
changes in the ECG waveform and may influence ST and arrhythmia interpretation.

„ Cardiac activity that affects the Resp waveform is called cardiac overlay. It happens when the Resp electrodes pick
up impedance changes caused by the rhythmic blood flow. Correct electrodes placement can help to reduce
cardiac overlay. Avoid the liver area and the ventricles of the heart in the line between the respiratory electrodes.
This is particularly important for neonates.

„ Some patients with restricted movement breathe mainly abdominally. In these cases, you may need to place the
left leg electrode on the left abdomen at the point of maximum abdominal expansion to optimize the respiratory
wave.

„ In clinical applications, some patients (especially neonates) 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.

NOTE
z Respiration monitoring is not for use on the patients who are very active, as this will cause false alarms.

11.4.2 Changing Resp Wave Settings

In the [Resp Setup] menu, you can:

„ Select [Gain] and then choose an appropriate setting. The bigger the gain is, the larger the wave amplitude is.

„ Select [Sweep] and then choose an appropriate setting. The faster the wave sweeps, the wider the wave is.

„ Select [Lead] to set lead for RESP monitoring.

In the [Resp Setup] menu, you can also change the [Apnea Alarm Delay] as desired.

12.2 Entering the PR Setup

You can enter the [PR Setup] menu by selecting the PR parameter area.

12.3 Setting the PR Source

The color of PR parameters is consistent with the PR source. The equipment monitors the pulse rate derived from the
current PR source and, if you select PR as alarm source, gives an alarm when PR limit is violated.

To set PR source,

1. Select the PR parameter area to enter the [PR Setup] menu.

2. Select [PR Source] and then select a label from the popup list.

The default PR source is SpO2.

12.4 Adjusting Pulse Tone Volume

When PR alarm is switched on, the equipment gives out pulse tone.. You can change the volume of pulse tone by
adjusting [QRS Volume] in the [PR Setup] menu. When a valid SpO2 value exists, the system will adjust the pitch of
pulse tone according to the SpO2 value.

13 Monitoring SpO 2

13.1 Introduction
SpO2 monitoring is a non-invasive technique used to measure the amount of oxygenated haemoglobin and pulse rate
by measuring the absorption of selected wavelengths of light. The light generated in the probe passes through the
tissue and is converted into electrical signals by the photodetector in the probe. The SpO2 module processes the
electrical signal and displays a waveform and digital values for SpO2 and pulse rate.

This device is calibrated to display functional oxygen saturation. It provides the following measurements.

1. Pleth wave: visual indication of patient’s pulse. The waveform is not normalized.

2. SpO2 unit

3. SpO2 alarm high limit

4. SpO2 alarm low limit

5. Oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO2): percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin in relation to the sum of
oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin.

6. Perfusion indicator: the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by arterial pulsation.

13-1
13.2 Safety

WARNING
z Use only SpO2 sensors specified in this manual. Follow the SpO2 sensor’s instructions for use and adhere to
all warnings and cautions.

z When a trend toward patient deoxygenation is indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by a
laboratory co-oximeter to completely understand the patient’s condition.

z Do not use SpO2 sensors during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Induced current could potentially
cause burns.

z Prolonged continuous monitoring may increase the risk of undesirable changes in skin characteristics,
such as irritation, reddening, blistering or burns. Inspect the sensor site every two hours and move the
sensor if the skin quality changes. Change the application site every four hours. For neonates or patients
with poor peripheral blood circulation or sensitive skin, inspect the sensor site more frequently.

13.3 Identifying SpO2 Modules

The equipment can be configured with any of the following SpO2 modules.

„ Mindray SpO2 module;

„ Masimo SpO2 module;

„ Nellcor SpO2 module.

For Masimo or Nellcor SpO2 modules, you will see corresponding logo on the equipment.

13.4 SpO2 Monitoring Procedure

1. Select an appropriate sensor according to the module type, patient category and weight.

2. Clean the application site, e.g. removing colored nail polish from the application site.

3. Apply the sensor to the patient.

4. Select an appropriate adapter cable according to the connector type and connect it with the equipment.

5. Connect the sensor cable to the adapter cable.

6. Switch the Mode Select knob to Monitor.

NOTE
z The SpO2 simulator can be used to check if the SpO2 sensor works properly. However, it cannot be used to
verify the accuracy of the SpO2 sensor.

13-2
13.5 Changing SpO2 Settings
You can access the [SpO2 Setup] menu by selecting the SpO2 parameter area

13.5.1 Setting SpO2 Sensitivity

For Mindray SpO2 module, you can set [Sensitivity] to [High], [Med] or [Low] from the [SpO2 Setup] menu. For Masimo
SpO2 module, you can set [Sensitivity] to [Normal] or [High], in which [Normal] is equivalent to [Med].

„ When the [Sensitivity] is set to [High], the equipment is more sensitive to the changes to SpO2 values, but the
measurement accuracy is relatively low. When monitoring critically ill patients whose pulsations are very weak, it
is strongly recommended that the sensitivity is set to [High].

„ When the [Sensitivity] is set to [Low], the equipment responds slowly to the changes of SpO2 value, but the
measurement accuracy is relatively high.

13.5.2 Monitoring SpO2 and NIBP on the Same Limb

When monitoring SpO2 and NIBP on the same limb simultaneously, you can switch [NIBP Simul] on from the [SpO2
Setup] menu to lock the SpO2 alarm status until the NIBP measurement ends. If you switch [NIBP Simul] off, low
perfusion caused by NIBP measurement may lead to inaccurate SpO2 readings and therefore cause false physiological
alarms.

13.5.3 Changing Averaging Time

The SpO2 value displayed on the screen is the average of data collected within a specific time. The shorter the averaging
time is, the quicker the equipment responds to changes in the patient’s oxygen saturation level, but the measurement
accuracy is relatively low. Contrarily, the longer the averaging time is, the slower the patient monitor responds to
changes in the patient’s oxygen saturation level, but the measurement accuracy will be improved. When monitoring
critically ill patients, selecting shorter averaging time will help understanding the patient’s condition.

To set the averaging time:

„ For Mindray SpO2 module, set [Sensitivity] to [High], [Med] or [Low] from the [SpO2 Setup] menu, which
respectively correspond to 7 s, 9 s and 11 s.

„ For Masimo SpO2 module, set [Averaging] to [2-4 s], [4-6 s], [8 s], [10 s], [12 s], [14 s] or [16 s] in the [SpO2 Setup]
menu.

13.5.4 Sat-Seconds Alarm Management

With traditional alarm management, high and low alarm limits are set for monitoring oxygen saturation. During
monitoring, as soon as an alarm limit is violated, an audible alarm immediately sounds. When the patient’s SpO2 value
fluctuates near an alarm limit, the alarm sounds each time the limit is violated. Such frequent alarm can be distracting.

13-3
 The Sat-Seconds feature is available with the Nellcor SpO2 module to decrease the likelihood of false alarms caused by
motion artifacts. The Sat-Seconds limit controls the amount of time that SpO2 saturation may be outside the set limits
before an alarm sounds. The method of calculation is as follows: the number of percentage points that the SpO2
saturation falls outside the alarm limit is multiplied by the number of seconds that it remains outside the limit. This can
be stated as the equation: Sat-Seconds= Points × Seconds

Only when the Sat-Seconds limit is reached, the monitor gives a Sat-Seconds alarm. The figure below demonstrates the
alarm response time with a Sat-Seconds limit set at 50 and a low SpO2 limit set at 90%. In this example, the patient’s
SpO2 drops to 88% (2 points) and remains there for 2 seconds. Then it drops to 86% (4 points) for 3 seconds, and then to
84% (6 points) for 6 seconds. The resulting Sat-Seconds are:
Points Seconds Sat-Seconds
2× 2= 4
4× 3= 12
6× 6= 36
Total Sat-Seconds = 52

After approximately 10.9 seconds, a Sat-Second alarm would sound, because the limit of 50 Sat-Seconds would have
been exceeded.

SpO2%

Seconds
Saturation levels may fluctuate rather than remaining steady for a period of several seconds. Normally, the patient’s SpO2
may fluctuate above and below an alarm limit, re-entering the non-alarm range several times. During such fluctuation,
the system sums the number of SpO2 points, both positive and negative, until either the Sat-Seconds limit is reached, or
the patient’s SpO2 re-enters the non-alarm range and remains there.

13.5.5 Changing the Speed of the Pleth Wave

In the [SpO2 Setup] menu, select [Sweep] and then select the appropriate setting. The faster the wave sweeps, the
wider the wave is.

13-4
13.6 SpO2 Desat Alarm
The defibrillator/monitor provides an SpO2 Desat alarm. The SpO2 Desat alarm provides an additional limit setting below
the SpO2 low limit setting to notify you of potentially life threatening decreases in oxygen saturation. The SpO2 Desat
alarm is a high-level exclusive alarm. You cannot change its alarm level.

You can Press the Main Menu button on the front panel, and then select [Alarm Setup >>]→ [Para. Alarm >>]→
[Desat], or select a parameter window and then select [Para. Alarm >>]→ [Desat] to set the Desat alarm.

NOTE
z In the case that the SpO2 low limit alarm value is set below the Desat limit, the the SpO2 low limit is
automatically adjusted to the Desat value.

13.7 Pitch Tone

The pitch tone function enables the equipment to give variable pitches of heartbeat tone or pulse tone as the patient’s
SpO2 level changes. This equipment provides 22 levels of pitch tone. The pitch of heartbeat tone or pulse tone rises as
SpO2 level increases and falls as SpO2 level decreases.

There are two pitch tone modes. The select pitch tone mode, select [SpO2 Setup]→[Pitch Tone] from the Configuration
Main menu and toggle between [Mode 1] and [Mode 2].

If the SpO2 is disabled, the pitch tone function will be disabled also.

13.8 Measurement Limitations

If you doubt the SpO2 readings, check the patient’s vital signs first. Then check the equipment and SpO2 sensor. The
following factors may influence the accuracy of measurement:

„ Ambient light

„ Patient movement (active and imposed motion)

„ Diagnostic testing

„ Low perfusion

„ Electromagnetic interference, such as MRI environment

„ Electrosurgical units

„ Dysfunctional haemoglobin, such as carboxyhemoglobin (COHb)and methemoglobin (MetHb)

„ Presence of certain dyes, such as methylene and indigo carmine

„ Inappropriate positioning of the SpO2 sensor, or use of incorrect SpO2

„ Drop of arterial blood flow to immeaurable level caused by shock, anemia, low temperature or vasoconstrictor.

14 NIBP
14.1 Introduction
Automatic non-invasive blood pressure monitoring uses the oscillometric method of measurement. It is intended for
adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. 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. The
mean pressure can then be calculated with reference to these pressures as long as the arterial pressure curve is normal.

Since the equipment cannot hear the blood pressure, it measures cuff pressure oscillation amplitudes. Oscillations are
caused by blood pressure pulses against the cuff. The oscillation with the greatest amplitude is the mean pressure. Once
the mean pressure is determined, the systolic and diastolic pressures are calculated with reference to the mean.

Simply stated, auscultation measures systolic and diastolic pressures and the mean pressure is calculated. The
oscillometric method measures the mean pressure and determines the systolic and diastolic pressures.

As specified in IEC 60601-2-30/EN60601-2-30, NIBP monitoring is allowed while an electrosurgical operation is in

progress or a defibrillation shock is being delivered.

NIBP diagnostic significance must be decided by the doctor who performs the measurement.

14.2 Safety

WARNING
z Be sure to select the correct patient category setting for your patient before measurement. Do not apply
the higher adult settings for pediatric or neonatal patients. Otherwise it may present a safety hazard.

z Do not measure NIBP on patients with sickle-cell disease or any condition where skin damage has occurred
or is expected.

z Use clinical judgment to determine whether to perform frequent unattended blood pressure
measurements on patients with severe blood clotting disorders because of the risk of hematoma in the
limb fitted with the cuff.

z Do not use the NIBP cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion or arterial catheter in place. This could
cause tissue damage around the catheter when the infusion is slowed or blocked during cuff inflation.

z If you doubt the NIBP readings, determines the patient’s vital signs by alternative means and then verify
that the equipment is working correctly.

14-1
14.3 Measurement Limitations
Measurements are impossible with heart rate extremes of less than 40 bpm or greater than 240 bpm, or if the patient is
on a heart-lung machine.

The measurement may be inaccurate or impossible,

„ If a regular arterial pressure pulse is hard to detect;

„ With excessive and continuous patient movement such as shivering or convulsions;

„ With cardiac arrhythmias;

„ Rapid blood pressure changes;

„ Severe shock or hypothermia that reduces blood flow to the peripheries;

„ Obesity, where a thick layer of fat surrounding a limb dampens the oscillations coming from the artery.

14.4 Measurement Modes

There are three modes of measuring NIBP:

„ Manual: measurement on demand.

„ Auto: continually repeated measurements at set intervals.

„ STAT: continually rapid series of measurements over a five minute period, then return to the previous mode.

14.5 Measuring Procedure

14.5.1 Preparing for NIBP Measurement
1. Verify that the patient category is correct. Change it if necessary.

2 Plug the air tubing into the equipment’s NIBP connector.

3. Select a correct sized cuff by referring to the limb circumference marked on the cuff. The width of the cuff should
be 40% (50% for neonates) of the limb circumference, or 2/3 of the upper arm’s length. The inflatable part of the
cuff should be long enough to encircle at least 50% to 80% of the limb.

4. Apply the cuff to an upper arm or thigh of the patient and make sure the Φ marking on the cuff matches the artery
location. Do not wrap the cuff too tightly around the limb. It may cause discoloration, and ischemia of the
extremities. Make sure that the cuff edge falls within the marked range. If it does not, use a cuff that fits better.

5. Connect the cuff to the air tubing and make sure that the bladder inside the cover is not folded and twisted.

6. Switch the Mode Select knob to Monitor.

14.5.2 Starting and Stopping NIBP Measurements

You can start and stop NIBP measurements by using the hardkey on the equipment’s front panel.

14-2
14.5.3 Correcting the Measurement
The cuffed limb should be at the same level as the patient’s heart. If not, correct the measurement by:

„ Add 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each centimeter higher, or

„ Deduct 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each centimeter lower.

14.5.4 Enabling NIBP Auto Cycling

1. Select the NIBP parameter area to access the [NIBP Setup] menu.

2. Select [Interval] and then select a desired time interval. Selecting [Manual] switches to manual mode.

3. Start the measurement manually. The equipment will then automatically repeat NIBP measurements at the set time
interval.

Warning
z Continuous non-invasive blood pressure measurements may cause purpura, ischemia and neuropathy in
the limb with the cuff. Inspect the application site regularly to ensure skin quality and inspect the
extremity of the cuffed limb for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If any abnormity occurs, move the
cuff to another site or stop the blood pressure measurements immediately.

17 Monitoring Carbon CO 2

17.1 Introduction
CO2 monitoring is a continuous, non-invasive technique for determining the concentration of CO2 in the patient’s airway
by measuring the absorption of infrared (IR) light of specific wavelengths. The CO2 has its own absorption characteristic
and the amount of light passing the gas probe depends on the concentration of the measured CO2. When a specific
band of IR light is passed through respiratory gas samples, some of IR light will be absorbed by the CO2 molecules. The
amount of IR light transmitted after it has been passed through the respiratory gas sample is measured with a
photodetector. From the amount of IR light measured, the concentration of CO2 is calculated.

The equipment monitors the patient’s CO2 using either a sidestream or a microstream CO2 module.

CO2 measurement provides:

1. A CO2 waveform.

2. End tidal CO2 value (EtCO2): the CO2 value measured at the end of the expiration phase.

3. Fraction of inspired CO2 (FiCO2): the smallest CO2 value measured during inspiration.

4. Airway respiration rate (awRR): the number of breaths per minute, calculated from the CO2 waveform.

17.2 Safety

CAUTION
z The watertrap collects water drops condensed in the sampling line and therefore prevents them from
entering the module. If the collected water reaches to a certain amount, you should drain it to avoid
blocking the airway.

z The watertrap has a filter preventing bacterium, water and secretions from entering the module. After a
long-term use, dust or other substances may compromise the performance of the filter or even block the
airway. In this case, replace the watertrap. Replacing the watertrap once a month is recommended.

z Do not apply adult watertrap to the neonate patient. Otherwise, patient injury could result.

NOTE

z To extend the lifetime of the watertrap and module, disconnect the watertrap and set the operating mode
to Standby when CO2 monitoring is not required.

17.3 Preparing for CO2 Measurement
17.3.1 Using a Sidestream CO2 Module
For sidestream CO2 module, the default operating mode is Measure. When the equipment enters the Monitor mode, the
CO2 module starts warming up and enters the full accuracy mode after the completion of warmup.

1. Attach the watertrap to the module and then connect the CO2 components as shown below.

Watertrap fixer

Watertrap Sampling line

2. The module starts up. After start-up is finished, the message “CO2 Warming Up” is displayed. Now, the module is in
Iso accuracy mode. You can take measurement now, but the accuracy is relatively low.

3. After the module finishes warmup, it enters the full accuracy mode, and you can take measurement.

17.3.2 Using a Microstream CO2 Module

For microstream CO2 module, the default operating mode is Measure. When the equipment enters the Monitor mode,
the CO2 module starts warming up and enters the full accuracy mode after the completion of warmup.

1. Connect the sampling line to the module and then connect the CO2 components as shown below.

Sampling line connector

Sampling line

17-2
 2. After the module finishes warmup, you can take CO2 measurement. During module warmup, the message “CO2
Warming Up” is displayed.

17.4 Changing CO2 Settings

17.4.1 Accessing CO2 Setup Menu
By selecting the CO2 parameter window, you can access the [CO2 Setup] menu.

17.4.2 Changing Operating Mode

To change operating mode, enter the [CO2 Setup] menu and select the desired mode. The operating mode will be
saved when the equipment is powered off.

„ Only in the Measure mode can you start the CO2 module.

„ In the standby mode, the gas intake pump, infrared light source, etc. are automatically switched off to reduce
power consumption and extend the lifetime of the CO2 module.

17.4.3 Selecting Gas Compensations

WARNING
z Make sure that the appropriate compensations are used. Inappropriate compensations may cause
inaccurate measurement values and result in misdiagnosis.

For sidestream CO2 module:

1. Enter the [CO2 Setup] menu and then select [Others >>].

2. Respectively select:

„ [O2 Compen]: 0 to 100%

„ [N2O Compen]: 0 to 100%

„ [Des Compen]: 0 to 24%

The sum of the three compensations should not be greater than 100%.

For microstream CO2 module, gas compensations are not required.

17-3
17.4.4 Setting Humidity Compensation
Sidestream and microstream CO2 modules are configured to compensate CO2 reading for either Body Temperature and
Pressure Saturated (BTPS) gas, to account for humidity in the patient’s breath, or Ambient Temperature and Pressure Dry
(ATPD) gas.

ATPD: Pco 2 (mmHg) = CO2 (vol%) × Pamb / 100

BTPS: PCO 2 ( mmHg ) = CO2 (vol %) × ( Pamb − 47 ) / 100

Where, PCO 2 = partial pressure; vol % = CO2 concentration; Pamb = ambient pressure, the unit is mmHg.

You can set the humidity compensation on or off according to the actual condition. To set the humidity compensation:

1. Enter the [CO2 Setup] menu and then select [Others >>]→[Humidity Compen].

2. Select either [On] for BTPS or [Off] for ATPD.

17.4.5 Choosing a Time Interval for Peak-Picking

The values of EtCO2 and FiCO2 refresh in real time. For the microstream CO2 module, you can select a time interval for
picking the highest CO2 as the EtCO2 and the lowest as the FiCO2.

1. Enter the [CO2 Setup] menu and then select [Others >>].

2. Set [Max Hold] to:

‹ [Single Breath]: EtCO2 and FiCO2 are calculated for every breath.

‹ [10 s], [20 s] or [30 s]: EtCO2 and FiCO2 are calculated using 10, 20 or 30 seconds of data.

17.4.6 Setting the Apnea Alarm Delay

In the [CO2 Setup] menu, you can adjust [Apnea Time]. The equipment gives an apnea alarm if the patient has stopped
breathing for longer than the preset apnea time.

17.4.7 Changing CO2 Wave Settings

Select the CO2 parameter area to access the [CO2 Setup] menu.

„ Select [Sweep] and then choose an appropriate setting. The faster the wave sweeps, the wider the wave is.

„ Select [Scale] and adjust the upper scale to change the amplitude of CO2 waveform.

„ Select [Others >>]→[Wave Type] and toggle between [Draw] and [Fill]:

‹ [Draw]: The CO2 wave is displayed as a curved line.

‹ [Fill]: The CO2 wave is displayed as a filled area.

17.4.8 Setting the Auto Standby Time

For the microstream CO2 module, you can set a period of time after which the CO2 module enters the standby mode
automatically if no breath is detected since the last detected breath.

17-4
 To set auto standby time, select the CO2 parameter area to enter the [CO2 Setup] menu, and then select [Others
>>]→[Auto Standby].

17.4.9 Setting Pressure Unit

Press the Main Menu button on the front panel, and then select [Others >>]→ [Configuration >>]→enter the required
password. In the Configuration Management–Main menu, select [CO2 Setup] and set [Press. Unit] to [mmHg], [%] or
[kPa].

17.5 Barometric Pressure Compensation

Both sidestream and microstream CO2 modules have the function of automatic barometric pressure compensation. That
is to say, the system automatically measures the barometric pressure which the equipment is exposed to.

17.6 Measurement Limitations

The following factors may influence the accuracy of measurement:

„ Leakage or internal venting of sampled gas

„ Mechanical shock

„ Cyclic pressure higher than 10 kPa (100 cmH2O) or abnormal change to airway pressure

„ Other sources of interference, if any.

17.7 Troubleshooting the Sidestream CO2 Sampling System

When the sampling system of the sidestream CO2 module works incorrectly, check if the sampling line is kinked. If not,
remove it from the watertrap. If the equipment gives a message indicating the airway still works incorrectly, it indicates
that the watertrap must have been blocked, and you should replace with a new one. Otherwise, you can determine that
the sampling line must have been blocked. Replace with a new sampling line.

17.8 Removing the Exhaust Gases from the System

WARNING
z When using the Sidestream or Microstream CO2 measurement on patients who are receiving or have
recently received anesthetics, connect the outlet to a scavenging system, or to the anesthesia
machine/ventilator, to avoid exposing medical staff to anesthetics.

To remove the sample gas to a scavenging system, connect an exhaust tube to the gas outlet connector of the module.

17-5
17.9 Zeroing the Transducer
The zero calibration eliminates the effect of baseline drift during CO2 measurement exerted on the readings and
therefore maintains the accuracy of the CO2 measurements.

A zero calibration is carried out automatically when necessary. You can also start a manual zero calibration if necessary.
To manually start a zero calibration, select [Zero] in the [CO2 Setup] menu. Disconnecting the patient airway is not
required when performing a zero calibration.

17.10 Calibrating the Transducer

For sidestream and microstream CO2 modules, a calibration should be performed once a year or when the readings go
far beyond the range. For details, refer to the Chapter 25 Maintenance and Testing. .

FOR YOUR NOTES

24-16
25 Batteries
25.1 Introduction
The equipment is designed to operate on battery power when external power supply is not available. The battery is
charged whenever the equipment is connected to AC mains or the DC power supply through an external DC/AC adapter,
regardless of whether or not the equipment is currently turned on. In case of power failure, the equipment will
automatically run power from internal batteries. So we recommend you always install a fully charged battery in the
equipment.

The equipment can be configured with two smart lithium ion batteries which are free of maintenance. Battery icons 1
and 2 displayed on the screen correspond with Battery 1 and Battery 2, see the figure below:

„ Battery 1

„ Battery 2

On-screen battery symbols indicate the current battery charge status, taking Battery 1 for an example:

„ ≤100%, but >80% of capacity

„ ≤80%, but >60% of capacity

„ ≤60%, but >40% of capacity

„ ≤40%, but >20% of capacity

„ ≤ 20% of capacity

„ Low battery and charging is required immediately

„ Battery 1 is not installed

You can also check the battery’s charge status by pressing the fuel gauge button on the battery to illuminate the battery
gauge. The fuel gauge consisting of 5 LEDs, each LED represents a charge of approximately 20% of capacity.

If the battery charge is too low, a technical alarm will be triggered and the “Low Battery” message displayed in the
Technical Alarm Area. At this moment, change the battery or apply external power to the equipment.

WARNING
z Keep the batteries out of children’s reach.

z Use only specified batteries.

z The batteries should be charged in this equipment or in a device approved by the equipment
manufacturer.

25-1
 NOTE
z Always connect the equipment to AC mains whenever it is possible.

z Always install a fully charged battery in the equipment.

z After long term use, the power capacity indicated by the battery symbol may be different from the actual
capacity. Always observe the alarm information displayed on the screen.

25.2 Installing the Batteries

To install the batteries:

1. Align a battery with the battery compartment.

2. Insert the battery, and press until you hear it click into the place.

To replace a battery, press the latch on the battery and push the battery to the right until you remove it. Insert a new
battery into the battery compartment.

25.3 Battery Alarms

25.3.1 No Battery Alarm
You can configure the status of status indicator when no battery is installed in the configuration mode.

Press the Main Menu button on the front panel of the equipment. Select [Others >>]→ [Configuration >>]→enter the
required password. In the Configuration main menu, select [Alarm Setup]→ [No Battery], and toggle between [Service
Indicator On] and [Service Indicator Off]. The default setting is [Service Indicator Off].

‹ If [Service Indicator On] is selected, the service indicator flashes in the case that battery is not installed,
meanwhile a message “No Battery” is presented in the Technical Alarm Area.

‹ If [Service Indicator Off] is selected, the service indicator will not be illuminate in the case that battery is
not installed; the message “No Battery” will be presented in the Technical Alarm Area.

25.3.2 Low Battery Alarm

If the equipment is run on battery and the battery charge is low, a technical alarm “Low Battery” will be triggered. In this
case, replace the battery with a fully charged on or connect the equipment to external power supply immediately.

If the battery is almost depleted, a prompt “Battery depleted! System will shut down imminently. Connect to AC mains or
replace battery” pops up. In monitoring, manual defibrillation, and pacing mode, additional alarm lights and alarm tones
are provided. In this case, take appropriate actions immediately. This prompt will not disappear until the battery is
replaced or the equipment is connected to the external power supply. The equipment automatically shuts down if no
action is taken within a period of about 3 minutes.

25-2
 NOTE

z The Low Battery alarm means that the battery is beginning to weaken and should be replaced at the first
opportunity. At least 20 minutes of monitoring and six full energy shocks can be performed when the Low
Battery alarm is activated. Replace the battery or connect the equipment to AC mains as soon as possible.

25.3.3 Battery Aged Alarm

If the battery runtime is significantly shorter than the specification, a low level technological alarm “Battery 1 (or 2)
Aged” will be presented. We recommend you to contact our company and replace it with a new one.

25.3.4 Battery Error Alarm

In the situation that the battery has a failure, a high level technological alarm “Battery 1 (or 2) Err” will be presented. In
this case, replace the battery or contact your service personnel.

25.4 Checking the Batteries

Battery capacity diminishes with use and age. To check the performance of the batteries, follow this procedure:

1. Connect the equipment to the external power supply and allow the batteries to charge uninterruptedly till it is fully
charged.

2. Remove the external power supply and allow the equipment to run from the batteries until it shuts off.

The operating time of the batteries reflects their performance directly. If the operating time of the batteries is noticeably
shorter than that stated in the specifications, discard the batteries or contact your service personnel.

NOTE

z Life expectancy of a battery depends on how frequent and how long it is used. When properly cared for,
the lithium-ion battery has a useful life of approximately 2 years. For improper use models, life expectancy
can be less. We recommend replacing lithium-ion batteries every 2 years.

z To optimize performance, a depleted, or nearly depleted battery should be charged as soon as possible.

z Battery operating time depends on the device configuration and operation. For example, measuring NIBP
repeatedly will shorten the battery operating time.

25-3
25.5 Charging batteries
The batteries can be charged only when they are installed in the equipment or using an device approved by the
equipment manufacturer. With the equipment turned off and at a temperature of 25℃ (77℉), a completely discharged
battery charges to 80% of its capacity in approximately 2 hours, and to 100% of its capacity in approximately 3 hours.
Batteries charge at a lower rate with the equipment turned on.

Batteries should be charged at temperatures between 0℃ (32℉) to 45℃ (113℉). To optimize performance, a fully (or
nearly fully) discharged battery should be charged as soon as possible.

25.6 Storing Batteries

When storing batteries, make sure that the battery terminals do not come into contact with metallic objects. If batteries
are stored for an extended period of time, they should be placed in a cool place with a partial charge of 40% to 60%
capacity (3 LEDs illuminated). Storing batteries in a cool place slows the aging process. The idea storage temperature is
15℃ (60℉). Batteries should not be stored at temperature outside the range of -20℃ (-4℉) to 60℃ (140℉).

Remove the battery from the equipment if the equipment is not used for a prolonged time. Otherwise the battery may
be over discharged and it will take significantly longer time to charge the battery. Stored batteries should be charged
every 2 months to 40% to 60% of full capacity. They should be charged to full capacity prior to use.

NOTE

z Do not store a battery in the equipment if the equipment is not used for an extended period of time.

z Storing batteries at temperature above 38℃(100℉) for an extended period of time significantly shorten
the life expectancy of a battery

25.7 Recycling the Batteries

A battery should be discarded if there are visual signs of damage, the battery fails, the battery aged alarm is presented,
or the batteries has been used for more than two years. Properly dispose of batteries according to local regulations.

WARNING
z Do not disassemble, puncture or incinerate batteries. Do not short the battery terminals. They may ignite,
explode, or leak, causing personal injury.

Compliance level in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz to 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz
are intended to decrease the likelihood that portable/ mobile communication equipment could cause interference if it is
inadvertently brought into patient areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the
recommended separation distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges.
c
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To
assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered.
If the measured field strength in the location in which the device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above,
the device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may
be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the device.
d
Over the frequency ranges 150 kHz to 80 MHz beyond ISM band, field strengths should be less than 3V/m; within ISM
band, field strengths should be less than 10V/m.
Recommended Separation Distances between Portable and Mobile RF, Communications Equipment and This

E Electrical Safety Inspection
The following electrical safety tests are recommended as part of a comprehensive preventive maintenance program.
They are a proven means of detecting abnormalities that, if undetected, could prove dangerous to either the patient or
the operator. Additional tests may be required according to local regulations.

All tests can be performed by using commercially available safety analyzer test equipment. These procedures assume
the use of a 601PROXL International Safety Analyzer or equivalent safety analyzer. Other popular testers complying with
IEC 60601-1 used in Europe, such as Fluke, Metron or Gerb, may require modifications to the procedure. Please follow the
instructions of the analyzer manufacturer.

The electrical safety inspection should be periodically performed per year. The safety analyzer also proves to be an
excellent troubleshooting tool to detect abnormalities of line voltage and grounding, as well as total current loads.
