This basic operation section gives you an overview of the monitor and its functions. It tells you how to perform tasks that are common to all measurements (such as entering data, switching a measurement on and off, setting up and adjusting wave speeds, working with profiles). The alarms section gives an overview of alarms. The remaining sections tell you how to perform individual measurements, and how to care for and maintain the equipment. Familiarize yourself with all instructions including warnings and cautions before starting to monitor patients. Read and keep the Instructions for Use that come with any accessories, as these contain important information about care and cleaning that is not repeated here. This guide describes all features and options. Your monitor may not have all of them; they are not all available in all geographies. Your monitor is highly configurable. What you see on the screen, how the menus appear and so forth, depends on the way it has been tailored for your hospital and may not be exactly as shown here. In this guide:
A warning alerts you to a potential serious outcome, adverse event or safety hazard. Failure to observe a warning may result in death or serious injury to the user or patient. A caution alerts you to where special care is necessary for the safe and effective use of the product. Failure to observe a caution may result in minor or moderate personal injury or damage to the product or other property, and possibly in a remote risk of more serious injury. Introducing the Monitor The IntelliVue MX600/MX700/MX800 patient monitor offers a monitoring solution optimized for the high-end surgical, cardiac, medical and neonatal care environments. Combining patient surveillance and data management, it allows multi-measurement monitoring by linking separate modules. The MX600 uses the navigation knob as primary input device and the MX700/MX800 use the touch screen as primary input device. All monitors have a remote control for convenient access to the five main keys and numeric data input. 13 1 Introduction The monitor stores data in trend, event, and calculation databases. You can see tabular trends (vital signs) and document them on a printer. You can view measurement trend graphs, with up to three measurements combined in each graph, to help you identify changes in the patient's physiological condition. You can view fast-changing measurement trends with beat to beat resolution and see up to four high resolution trend segments. Event surveillance enhances documentation and review of physiologically significant events by automatically detecting and storing up to 50 user-defined clinical events over a 24 hour period. With the optional Integrated PC, you have computer functionality directly in the monitor. You can use standard applications (e.g. Web browsers), connect to the hospital network or intranet, and run a second independent display with content from the patient monitor. An IntelliVue X2 or MP5 can be connected to your monitor, where it acts as a multi-measurement module, acquiring measurements for the host monitor. When the X2 or MP5 is disconnected from the the original host monitor, it continues to monitor the patient as a fully independent, battery powered patient monitor, eliminating the need for a separate transport monitor. On connection to a new host monitor, the X2 or MP5 resumes its role as multi-measurement module, ensuring fully continuous monitoring. Major Parts and Keys MX600/700:

You can also extend the measurement capabilities of your monitor with such devices. Of these measurement devices, only the X2 has its own power on/standby switch, and can be powered from an external power supply or a rechargeable battery when not directly connected to the monitor (refer to the IntelliVue X2 Instructions for Use for details). All the rest take their power exclusively from the monitor, and switch on automatically when you turn on the monitor. A green power-on LED indicates when they are drawing power from the monitor. A permanently illuminated, or flashing, red LED indicates a problem with the unit that requires the attention of qualified service personnel. All symbols used on the front panels are explained in Symbols on page 389. WARNING When connecting devices for acquiring measurements, always position cables and tubing carefully to avoid entanglement or potential strangulation. Flexible Module Rack (M8048A) The 8-slot flexible module rack (FMS-8) lets you use up to eight plug-in physiological measurement modules. For the MX800, you can connect two FMSs to use up to 10 measurement modules. The maximum number of specific module types that can be used simultaneously in an FMS-8 is: five pressure modules, four temperature modules, four VueLink or IntelliBridge modules (any combination). 15 1 Introduction Connect the FMS to the monitor via the measurement link cable (MSL). Use the MSL connector on the left-hand side to connect an additional MMS. Use the connector on the right to connect to the monitor. 1 X1 Multi-Measurement Module 2 Multi-Measurement Module mount Flexible Module Rack FMS-8 Power on LED Interruption indicator 3 4 5 4-Slot Flexible Module Rack (FMS-4) The 4-Slot flexible module rack (FMS-4) lets you use up to four plug-in physiological measurement modules. The maximum number of specific module types that can be used simultaneously in an FMS-4 is: four pressure modules, four temperature modules, four VueLink or IntelliBridge modules (any combination). Connect the FMS to the monitor via the measurement link cable (MSL). Use the MSL connector on the left-hand side (if you have the appropriate option) to connect an additional MMS. Use the connector on the back to connect to the monitor. Measurement Modules Invasive blood pressure (M1006B) Temperature (M1029A) You can use up to eight measurement modules with the Flexible Module Rack (M8048A). Available modules are:
Oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO2) (M1020B) Cardiac output (M1012A), and Continuous cardiac output with M1012A Option #C10 Mixed venous oxygen saturation - SvO2 (M1021A) Intravascular Oxygen Saturation - ScvO2 or SvO2 (M1011A) Transcutaneous gas (M1018A) 16 1 Introduction IntelliBridge EC10 Recorder (M1116B) Bispectral Index - BIS (M1034A) Spirometry (M1014A) VueLink device interface (M1032A) EEG (M1027A) You can plug in and unplug modules during monitoring. Insert the module until the lever on the module clicks into place. Remove a module by pressing the lever upwards and pulling the module out. A measurement automatically switches on when you plug the module in, and switches off when you unplug it. Reconnecting a module to the same monitor restores its label and measurement settings, such as alarms limits. If you connect it to a different monitor, the module remembers only its label. The connector socket on the front of each module is the same color as the corresponding connector plug on the transducer or patient cable. Press the Setup key on the module's front to display the measurement's setup menu on the monitor screen. When the setup menu is open, a light appears above the key. Some modules have a second key. On the pressure module, for example, it initiates a zeroing procedure.

It has a color touchscreen display. 18 1 Introduction The X2 has the added capability to operate as a stand-alone monitor, and can be powered by a rechargeable battery. This makes it particularly suited to transport situations. When the X2 is disconnected from the original host monitor, it continues to monitor the patient as a stand-alone monitor running on battery power, eliminating the need for a separate transport monitor. When the X2 is connected to a new host monitor, it resumes its role as MMS, ensuring fully continuous monitoring. For details of using the X2 as a stand-alone monitor, refer to the IntelliVue X2 Instructions for Use. When connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated), the X2 takes power from the host, including that required for battery charging. The X2 can also be powered by AC mains when not connected to a host monitor using the optionally available external power supply (M8023A). See the IntelliVue X2 Instructions for Use for details.

Connects to the external power supply or a host monitor via the MSL cable for AC mains operation, battery charging, and communication with a network. MMS Extensions The MMS extensions connect to the X1 and X2 MMS and use the MMS settings and power. Trend data and measurement settings from the measurements in the extensions are stored in the MMS. WARNING The MMS extensions can only function when they are connected to an MMS. If the MMS is removed during monitoring, the measurements from both the MMS and the extension are lost. Measurements from an MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on its own battery power. They are only available when the X2 is powered from AC mains, when connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A), or from the Battery Extension. To separate an extension from the MMS, press the release lever down, and push the MMS forward. 21 1 Introduction M3014A, M3015A, M3015B and M3016A Capnography MMS Extensions The optional M3014A Capnography extension adds mainstream capnography or sidestream capnography, and optionally one pressure plus either a pressure or a temperature, Cardiac Output and Continuous Cardiac Output to the MMS.

If you prefer to use the CO2 measurement on the extension, you can activate it via the measurement selection key (see Resolving Label Conflicts on page 40). 23 1 Introduction The cardiac output measurement in the M3014A is deactivated when the extension is used with an X2 MMS, even if the X2 is connected to an external power supply. The cardiac output measurement is only available when the X2 is connected to a host monitor. M3012A Hemodynamic MMS Extension 1 Cardiac Output (orange; optional) 2 Connection to MMS 3 4 Temperature connectors (brown) Pressure connectors (red) The M3012A Hemodynamic extension can be connected to the M3001A Multi-Measurement Module to provide the following additional measurements: Temperature, Pressure, an additional Pressure or Temperature, and C.O. and CCO measurements. The cardiac output measurement is deactivated when the extension is used with an X2 MMS unless the X2 is connected to a host monitor. Operating and Navigating Everything you need to operate the monitor is contained on its screen. Almost every element on the screen is interactive. Screen elements include measurement numerics, waveforms, screen keys, information fields, alarms fields and menus. The configurability of the monitor means that often you can access the same element in different ways. For example, you might be able to access an item through its on-screen setup menu, via a hard key, or via a SmartKey. 24 1 Introduction Other screen elements 10 alarm status area - shows active alarm messages 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 status line - shows information messages and prompting you for action close all open menus and windows and return to main screen enter Main Setup menu scroll right to display more SmartKeys SmartKeys - these change according to your monitor's configuration scroll left to display more SmartKeys Pause Alarms - pauses alarm indicators.

Note that the space between each line of a menu may be configured to wide or narrow to facilitate your most common method of operation, either touch, remote control or a pointing device such as a mouse. 25 1 Introduction Using the Touchscreen Select screen elements by pressing them directly on the monitor's screen. Disabling Touchscreen Operation To temporarily disable touchscreen operation of the monitor, press and hold the Main Screen permanent key. A padlock will appear on the Main Screen permanent key. Press and hold the Main Screen permanent key again to re-enable the touchscreen operation. Using a Mouse or Trackball If you are using a mouse or trackball, select screen elements by clicking on them (press and release the left mouse button). While you are moving the mouse, a cursor appears and a highlight shows your current position. Moving Windows Select the title of the window and keep your finger on the title, or the mouse button pressed. You can move windows and menus using the Touchscreen or a mouse. To move a window, 1 2 Move your finger on the Touchscreen, or move the mouse, to move the window. 3 Take your finger off the screen, or release the mouse button, to place the window in the final position. The new position is only active until the window or menu is closed. Not all locations on the screen can be a target position, a window cannot overlap the monitor info line, the alarms and INOPs or the status line. Using Keys The monitor has four different types of keys:
Permanent Keys A permanent key is a graphical key that remains on the screen all the time to give you fast access to functions. Pause Alarms - pauses alarm indicators. Pause duration depends on monitor configuration. If pause duration is infinite, this key is labeled Alarms Off. Select again to immediately re-enable alarm indicators. Silence - acknowledges all active alarms by switching off audible alarm indicators and lamps. Main Screen - close all open menus and windows and return to the main screen. Main Setup - enter main setup menu. 26 SmartKeys 1 Introduction A SmartKey is a configurable graphical key, located at the bottom of the main screen. It gives you fast access to functions. The selection of SmartKeys available on your monitor depends on your monitor configuration and on the options purchased. If you have an integrated PC (iPC) you may also see Smartkeys generated by applications on the iPC. enter profile menu, or revert to default profile change Screen, or revert to default screen show BIS Sensor previous Screen freeze waves set alarm limits quick admit a patient enter patient identification menu to admit/discharge/transfer change alarm volume end case to discharge a patient change QRS volume enter standby mode - suspends patient monitoring.

Pop-Up Keys Pop-up keys are task-related graphical keys that appear automatically on the monitor screen when required. For example, the Confirm pop-up key appears only when you need to confirm a change. Using the Remote Control The remote control provides you with direct access to five hard keys, a navigation knob and a numeric keypad:
Hardkeys 1 Silence - acknowledges all active alarms by switching off audible alarm indicators and lamps. Behavior follows the Silence permanent key configuration. 2 Alarms Off/Pause Alarms - pauses alarm indicators. Behavior follows the Pause Alarms permanent key configuration. 3 Main Screen - close all open menus and windows and return to the main screen. 4 5 Back - go back one step to the previous menu. SmartKeys - display a block of SmartKeys specially configured for remote tasks (see below) 29 1 Introduction Keypad 6 Type numeric data on the keypad and press the Enter key to enter the data on the monitor. Navigation knob 7 Rotate the knob to highlight screen elements, then press to select the highlighted element. The remote control can be used with a USB cable connection to the monitor or without a cable using short range radio. When used without a cable, the remote control must be assigned to the monitor. The assignment is made in Configuration or Service mode. CAUTION When using a remote control without a cable, it is important that the user knows which remote control is assigned to which monitor. Use the tethering cable delivered with the remote control to attach it to a bed rail or IV pole, or label the remote control with the bed or monitor ID. Using the SmartKeys Key The SmartKeys hard key on the remote control displays a block of SmartKeys on the monitor screen. Nine SmartKeys appear in a 3 by 3 matrix which corresponds to the layout of the numeric pad on the remote control. Pressing the 1 key on the remote control selects the top left SmartKey, pressing the 8 key selects the bottom center SmartKey. The . and the key can be used to select the arrow keys to page up and down in the available SmartKeys. The SmartKeys which appear can be configured so that you have the functions available which you most often need when using the remote control. If no list of SmartKeys has been configured, the standard SmartKeys will be displayed and you can page through to the key you want. Using the On-Screen Keyboard Use this as you would a conventional keyboard. Enter the information by selecting one character after another. Use the Shift and capital Lock keys to access uppercase letters. Use the Back key to delete single characters, or use the Clr key to delete entire entries. Select Enter to confirm what you have entered and close the on-screen keyboard. If a conventional keyboard is connected to the monitor, you can use this instead of or in combination with the on-screen keyboard. 30 1 Introduction Using the On-Screen Calculator You can use the on-screen calculator to perform any of the standard operations for which you would normally use a handheld calculator. To access the on-screen calculator, select the Calculator SmartKey, or select Main Setup then Calculations followed by Calculator. Operating Modes When you switch the monitor on, it starts up in monitoring mode. To change to a different mode:
1 Select the Main Setup menu. Select Operating Modes and choose the mode you require. 2 Your monitor has four operating modes. Some are passcode protected. Monitoring Mode: This is the normal, every day working mode that you use for monitoring patients. You can change elements such as alarm limits, patient category and so forth. When you discharge the patient, these elements return to their default values. Changes can be stored permanently only in Configuration Mode. You may see items, such as some menu options or the altitude setting, that are visible but grayed out so that you can neither select nor change them. These are for your information and can be changed only in Configuration Mode. Demonstration Mode: Passcode protected, this is for demonstration purposes only. You must not change into Demonstration Mode during monitoring. In Demonstration Mode, all stored trend information is deleted from the monitors memory. Configuration Mode: Passcode protected, this mode is for personnel trained in configuration tasks. These tasks are described in the Configuration Guide. During installation the monitor is configured for use in your environment. This configuration defines the default settings you work with when you switch on, the number of waves you see and so forth. Service Mode: Passcode protected, this is for trained service personnel. When the monitor is in Demonstration Mode, Configuration Mode, or Service Mode, this is indicated by a box with the mode name in the center of the Screen and a symbol in the bottom right-hand corner. Select the mode box in the center of the screen to change to a different mode. When an X2 or MP5 is connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated):
You cannot change the operating mode at the monitor in companion mode. The monitor in companion mode will adopt the operating mode of the host monitor. Standby Mode Standby mode can be used when you want to temporarily interrupt monitoring. To enter Standby mode, The monitor enters Standby mode automatically after the End Case function is used to discharge a patient. select the Monitor Standby SmartKey or select Main Setup, followed by Monitor Standby. 31 1 Introduction Standby suspends patient monitoring. All waves and numerics disappear from the display but all settings and patient data information are retained. A special Standby screen is displayed. This can be configured to a moving image or a blank screen. If a patient location is entered at the Information Center, this will also be displayed on the Standby screen (availability depends on Information Center revision). To resume monitoring, If you connect an X2 or MP5 that is powered on (and not in Standby) to a host monitor in Standby mode, the host will leave Standby mode. When connected to a host monitor, with both the host and the monitor in companion mode in Standby mode, leaving Standby on the monitor in companion mode will also make the host leave Standby. Select anything on the screen or press any key. Understanding Screens Your monitor comes with a set of pre-configured Screens, optimized for common monitoring scenarios such as OR adult, or ICU neonatal. A Screen defines the overall selection, size and position of waves, numerics and other elements on the monitor screen when you switch on. You can easily switch between different Screens during monitoring. Screens do NOT affect alarm settings, patient category and so forth. When you switch from a complex to a less complex Screen layout, some measurements may not be visible but are still monitored in the background. If you switch to a more complex Screen with, for example, four invasive pressure waves but you have only two pressures connected to the monitor, the
"missing" two pressures are either left blank or the available space is filled by another measurement. Switching to a Different Screen 1 To switch to a different Screen, select the current Screen name in the monitor info line, or select the Change Screen SmartKey. 2 Choose the new Screen from the pop-up list. Changing a Screen's Content If you do not want to change the entire Screen content, but only some parts of it, you can substitute individual waves, numerics, high-res waves, or trends. Be aware that these changes cannot be stored permanently in Monitoring Mode. To change the selection of elements on a Screen, 1 Select the element you want to change. From the menu that appears, select Change Wave, Change Numeric, or ChangeHiResTrend, and then select the wave or numeric you want, or select the high-resolution trend wave you want from the list of available waves. If you do not see Change Numeric in the menu, this Screen may be configured to always display the numeric beside its wave. Changing the wave will automatically change the numeric. 2 The changed Screen is shown with an asterisk in the monitor info line. In the Change Screen menu, the changed Screen is shown linked to the original Screen and marked with an asterisk. 32 1 Introduction Up to three modified Screens can be accessed via the Change Screen menu. To recall Screens, either or select the name of the Screen in the Change Screen menu use the previous/next arrows at the top of the Change Screen menu to move back and forth in the Screen history. The ten most recently-used Screens including up to three modified Screens can be accessed. After a patient discharge, the monitor's default Screen is shown. Modified Screens are still available in the Change Screen menu. If the monitor is switched off and then on again, modified Screens are erased from the monitor's memory and cannot be recalled. If a modified Screen was the last active Screen when the monitor was switched off, it is retained (unless Automat. Default is configured to Yes). Connecting Additional Displays to the Monitor You can connect a second display, showing the same Screen as the main display, to your monitor, for viewing only. If you have the optional independent display interface, you can connect a second display which can be configured and operated individually using standard input devices. For monitors with multiple displays and multiple input devices, the usage and behavior can be configured according to specific requirements at installation (for example, use for two independent operators or tracking of mouse input across two displays). For details refer to the Service Guide. When two operators are using two displays, the scope of an action depends on the type of operation:
Patient monitoring operations such as Silence or Pause alarms take effect for the monitor as a whole, the results will be seen on both displays. Display operations such as the Main Screen key and Back hardkey will take effect only on the display being operated. If you are operating two displays with one remote control, to navigate from one display to another:
1 Move the highlight to the Main Screen key and then turn one click further. The highlighting moves to a special "jump" field at the edge of the Screen. Press the navigation knob on the remote control to confirm; the highlighting will automatically move to the other display. 2 The content of each Screen can be changed individually as described in the previous section. If you are operating two displays, you can choose Screens for both displays from one location:
1 Select Profiles in the monitor info line of the first display, Select Display 1, or Display 2, then select the Screen you want to appear on that display from the list of available Screens. 2 When two displays are mounted next to each other or one above the other, a special Screen can be assigned which spans across both displays. The Screen content for these Tall and Wide Screens can then use the increased area available with two displays. These Screens appear in the Screen list with a special Tall Screen or Wide Screen symbol. 33 1 Introduction Certain windows (for example: cardiac output procedure) can only be shown on one display at a time. If you try to open one of these windows when it is already shown on another display, you will see a blank gray window with a cross through it. Using the XDS Remote Display Using the IntelliVue XDS solution it is possible to view an independent monitor screen on an external display. The XDS solution consists of a medical grade PC-based hardware platform, XDS application software and the XDS connectivity option on the monitor. Depending on the configuration you can also operate the monitor from the external display. The XDS must be connected to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the monitor. It is also possible to use an existing PC, connected to the same LAN, to host the XDS Application software. For more details, including limitations and restrictions, refer to the Instructions for Use for the XDS Application. Using the Visitor Screen If a visitor Screen is configured for your monitor, you can use it to clear the screen of all waves and numerics but continue to monitor the patient with active alarms and trend storage at the bedside and Information Center. You can change the name of the visitor Screen in Configuration Mode. To activate this Screen, select the Screen name in the monitor info line to open the Change Screen menu, then select the name of the visitor Screen configured for your monitor from the list of available Screens. To select a Screen with waves and numerics again, Touch the gray box in the center of the screen, showing the visitor Screen's name, to open the Change Screen menu and select a different Screen to show waves and numerics again. Understanding Profiles Profiles are predefined monitor configurations. They let you change the configuration of the whole monitor so you can adapt it to different monitoring situations. The changes that occur when you change a complete profile are more far reaching than those made when you change a Screen. Screens affect only what is shown on the display. Profiles affect all monitor and measurement settings. The settings that are defined by Profiles are grouped into three categories. Each category offers a choice of 'settings blocks' customized for specific monitoring situations. These categories are:
Display (screens) Each profile can have a choice of many different predefined screens. If you are using a second display, each display can have its own individual screen selection. When you change the profile, the screen selection configured for the new profile becomes active. Measurement Settings Each profile can have a choice of different predefined measurement settings. These relate directly to individual measurements, for example, measurement on/off, measurement color, alarms limits, NBP alarm source, NBP repeat time, temperature unit (F or C), pressure unit (mmHg or kPa). 34 1 Introduction Monitor Settings Each profile can have a choice of different predefined monitor settings. These relate to the monitor as a whole; for example, display brightness, alarms off/paused, alarm volume, QRS tone volume, tone modulation, prompt tone volume, wave speed, resp wave speed, pulse source. You can change from one complete profile to another or swap individual settings blocks (display/
monitor settings/measurement settings) to change a subset of a profile. Changes you make to any element within the settings blocks are not saved when you discharge the patient, unless you save them in Configuration Mode. Depending on your monitor configuration, when you switch on or discharge a patient the monitor either continues with the previous profile, or resets to the default profile configured for that monitor. WARNING If you switch to a different profile, the patient category and paced status normally change to the setting specified in the new profile. However some profiles may be set up to leave the patient category and paced status unchanged. Always check the patient category, paced status, and all alarms and settings, when you change profiles. When you leave Demonstration Mode, the monitor uses the default profile. Swapping a Complete Profile 1 Select Profiles in the monitor info line, or select the Profiles SmartKey. In the Profiles menu, select Profile. 2 3 Chose a profile from the pop-up list. 4 Confirm your selection. Swapping a Settings Block 1 2 Select Profiles in the monitor info line, or select the Profiles SmartKey. In the Profiles menu, select Display or Measmnt.Settings or Monitor Settings to call up a list of the settings blocks in each category. 3 Choose a settings block from the pop-up list. 4 Confirm your selection. Default Profile Your monitor has a default profile that it uses when you leave Demonstration, or Service modes, or when you discharge a patient. This profile is indicated by a diamond shaped symbol. 35 1 Introduction Locked Profiles Some profiles are locked, so that you cannot change them, even in Configuration Mode. These are indicated by this lock symbol. Understanding Settings Each aspect of how the monitor works and looks is defined by a setting. There are a number of different categories of settings, including, Screen Settings, to define the selection and appearance of elements on each individual Screen Measurement settings, to define settings unique to each measurement, for example, high and low alarm limits Monitor settings, including settings that affect more than one measurement or Screen and define general aspects of how the monitor works, for example, alarm volume, reports and recordings, and display brightness. You must be aware that, although many settings can be changed in Monitoring Mode, permanent changes to settings can only be done in the monitor's Configuration Mode. All settings are reset to the stored defaults:
when you discharge a patient when you load a Profile when the monitor is switched off for more than one minute (if Automat. Default is set to Yes). Changing Measurement Settings Each measurement has a setup menu in which you can adjust all of its settings. You can enter a setup menu:
via the measurement numeric - select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu. For example, to enter the Setup ECG menu, select the HR (heart rate) numeric. via the Setup hardkey (on plug-in modules) - press the Setup hardkey on the module front. via the Main Setup permanent key - if you want to setup a measurement when the measurement is switched off, use the Main Setup permanent key and select Measurements. Then select the measurement name from the pop-up list. With this permanent key you can access any setup menu in the monitor. via the Measurement Selection key. This guide always describes the entry method using the setup menu. But you can use any method you prefer. 36 1 Introduction Switching a Measurement On and Off When a measurement is off, its waves and numerics are removed from the monitor's screen. The monitor stops data acquisition and alarming for this measurement. A measurement automatically switches off if you disconnect its module or MMS. If you disconnect a transducer, the monitor replaces the measurement numeric with question marks. If in this situation alarms are paused or switched off, the measurement in question may be switched off completely, depending on monitor configuration. 1 Enter the measurement's setup menu and select the measurement. 2 Select the measurement name to switch between on and off. The screen display indicates the active setting. Switching Numerics On and Off For some measurements, such as EEG, you can choose which numerics to view on the screen. In the measurement's setup menu, select the numeric name to toggle between on and off. For example in the Setup EEG menu, select the EEG numeric name to toggle between on and off. Adjusting a Measurement Wave To quickly adjust wave-related measurement settings (such as speed or size), select the measurement wave itself. This displays the measurement wave menu, which has only wave-related measurement settings. Changing Wave Speeds Lowering the wave speed compresses the wave and lets you view a longer time period. Increasing the speed expands the waveform, giving you a more detailed view. The monitor distinguishes three groups of wave speed settings, RespiratorySpeed, for all respiratory waves: CO2, anesthetic agents and O2 EEG Speed, for all EEG and BIS waves Global Speed, for all waves not included in the other two groups. Changing the Wave Group Speed The wave speed group setting defines the speed of all the waves in the group. To change the wave speed of a wave speed group, Select Main Setup, then select User Interface 1 Select Global Speed, RespiratorySpeed, or EEG Speed as required Select a value from the list of available speeds. Changing Wave Speed for a Channel 2 3 To change the wave speed of an individual wave channel, 1 Enter the Wave menu for a measurement by selecting its wave. 2 Select Change Speed. 37 1 Introduction 3 To set the speed to the wave group speed, select RespiratorySpeed, EEG Speed, or Global Speed. To set an individual channel speed, select a numeric value from the list of available speeds. This overrides the wave group speed setting and set the speed for the individual wave channel on the monitor Screen. The wave channel speed is independent of the wave (label) depicted in the channel, if you change the wave, the new wave will retain the set channel speed. Freezing Waves You can freeze waves on the screen and measure parts of the wave using cursors. The waves are frozen with a history of 20 seconds so that you can go back and measure what you have seen. Freezing An Individual Wave To freeze a wave, 1 Enter the Wave menu for the measurement by selecting the wave on the screen. 2 The realtime wave is replaced with the frozen wave. Select Freeze Wave. Freezing All Waves To freeze all waves on the screen, 1 Select the Freeze Waves SmartKey. All realtime waves are replaced with frozen waves. Measuring Frozen Waves To measure a frozen wave, Select the frozen wave. 1 If you are using touch, this automatically positions the vertical cursor. The cursor can be repositioned by touching the required point on the wave, or 2 Using the SpeedPoint or another pointing device or touch: use the right/left arrow keys to move the vertical cursor. The vertical cursor moves through the time axis and the current value is displayed next to the cursor. 3 Use the up/down arrow keys to activate and move the horizontal cursor. The horizontal cursor measures the wave value, which is displayed above the cursor line. If the wave is a pressure wave, the cursor value can be stored as a systolic, diastolic or mean pressure value; if the pressure wave is a PAP wave it can also be stored as a PAWP value; for pressure waves P, P1 to P8 it can also be stored as an IAP value. The stored value appears in the trend database as a manually entered value. Changing The Wave Speed Lowering the wave speed compresses the wave and lets you view a longer time period. Increasing the speed expands the waveform, giving you a more detailed view. 38 1 Introduction To change the wave speed:
Select the frozen wave. 1 Select Change Speed. Select a speed from the list. Updating The Frozen Wave 2 3 To update the wave, that is freeze the current wave:
1 2 Select the frozen wave. Select Freeze Again. Releasing Frozen Waves To release frozen waves, Select a frozen wave. 1 Select Unfreeze Waves. 2 All frozen waves are released. Using Labels You may have more than one instance of some measurements, for example pressure, being used simultaneously. The monitor uses labels to distinguish between them. The default settings defined in the profile (such as measurement color, wave scale, and alarm settings) are stored within each label. When you assign a label to a measurement, the monitor automatically applies these default settings to the measurement. The labels assigned are used throughout the monitor, in reports, recordings, and in trends. Changing Measurement Labels (e.g. Pressure) Select Label. To change a measurement label of a measurement with multiple labels (e.g. invasive pressure or temperature), 1 Enter the wave menu of the measurement. 2 3 Choose a label from the list. The monitor automatically applies the scale, color, etc. settings stored in the Profile for the label you select. You can change scale settings in Monitoring Mode, but color can only be changed in the monitor's Configuration Mode. Any labels already being used in the monitor are shown "grayed-out" in the list and cannot be selected. About Label Sets Your monitor may be configured to use a Restricted or Full label set. The Full label set provides extra labels for Pressure and Temp. See the sections on Pressure and Temperature in these Instructions for Use for more information. If you connect an MMS from a monitor using a Full label set to an IntelliVue monitor using a Restricted label set or an M3/M4 monitor, any additional labels switch to labels available in the target monitor. This may cause a label conflict with other monitored measurements. 39 1 Introduction Be aware that connecting a monitor using the Full label set to an Information Center with certain software revisions may affect the availability of measurement information from the additional labels on the Information Center. See the Information Center documentation and your monitor's Configuration Guide for information on label set compatibility. Resolving Label Conflicts Each label must be unique, that is, it can only be assigned once. You cannot monitor two pressures labeled "ICP" at the same time. If you need to use two identical pressures, you must assign different labels to them, for example, P and ICP. Measurement labels are stored in the measurement device (module or MMS). If you try to use two measurement devices that have identical labels, this causes a label conflict in the monitor. Measurement selection key with question marks indicating a label conflict. Depending on your configuration, the monitor will either resolve the conflict automatically, by assigning a new, generic label to the most recently connected conflicting label (e.g. a second FAP label could be changed to ABP) display the Measurement Selection window automatically for you to resolve the conflict take no action, you must enter the Measurement Selection window and resolve the conflict. All the currently available measurement devices, for example MMSs, MMS extensions, measurement modules, Gas analyzers, devices connected to a host monitor and manually entered measurements
(marked
), are depicted in the Measurement Selection window. De-activated devices are grayed-out (here the Temp measurement on the left) Any measurement labels causing a label conflict are shown in red. If a measurement device is connected but currently unavailable, for example, because it was deactivated due to a label conflict, the device is shown "grayed-out". 40 When an X2 or MP5 is connected to a host monitor, the measurement selection window looks like this:
1 Introduction X2 connected to host monitor MP5 connected to host monitor WARNING When an X2 or MP5 with an active measurement, say SpO2, is connected to a host monitor with the same measurement already active, the SpO2 measurement on the X2 or MP5 is deactivated and the Meas. DEACTIVATED INOP is displayed. The measurement can only be reactivated if the X2 or MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor. The label conflict can be resolved on the host monitor like any other label conflict. To resolve a label conflict:
1 Select the measurement selection key or select Main Setup, then Meas. Selection to display the Measurement Selection window. Select the device whose label you want to correct. 2 3 Use the measurement selection pop-up keys to resolve the conflict. Select either:
Change Label: to assign a different label to the conflicting label De- Activate: to disable the conflicting device. It retains its label for future use but becomes invisible to the monitor, as though it had been unplugged. When the device has been deactivated the question marks under the measurement selection key will be replaced by XXX. Setup <Measurement Label>: to enter the Setup menu for the measurement and change the conflicting device's label to a different label. Modify Driver (VueLink/IntelliBridge only): - to modify the device driver setup to disable the conflicting device's label. Label Compatibility When a new measurement is introduced, or new labels for an existing measurement, these labels will not be shown on older Information Centers, and consequently not on the Overview screen sourced from the Information Center. When a patient is transferred from a monitor with these new labels to one with an older software revision, the labels will be replaced with a generic label for that measurement. The settings for that generic label will then be used. 41 1 Introduction If it is critical that the measurement labels are available at the Information Center and after transfers, the older monitors and the Information Center must be upgraded to the appropriate software revision. Entering Measurements Manually 2 3 4 5 6 You can enter values into the monitor that have been measured with other equipment or manually (for example, manual temperatures, lab values). These values are then stored in the database, included in trends and reports, and passed on to the Information Center and central charting systems. There is no alarm functionality for manually entered measurements. To enter values, 1 Select the Enter Values SmartKey or select Main Setup then select Enter MeasValues. Select the measurement you want to enter values for. The Edit window will open. If the measurement is switched off, switch it on by selecting the label. Select Value and enter the value. Select Date/Time to enter the date and time for the value. The default is always the current date and time. For compound labels, for example ABPs, ABPd and ABPm, select the Format field to select whether all values are required or a single value. Select Save. 7 When a manually entered value has been configured to display as a numeric on the screen, you can also enter a new value for this measurement by selecting the numeric, then selecting Enter MeasValues. Manually entered measurement values are marked with a * on the display, in trends, and so forth. Each measurement has a defined measurement interval after which a value becomes invalid (no value is then displayed). Values can be entered up to two hours after they have been measured or up to the measurement interval, if this is shorter. The list of measurement labels which appears in the Enter Measurement Values window is set in Configuration Mode. No values can be entered manually on a monitor in companion mode when it is connected to a host monitor. Switching Manually Entered Measurements On and Off To switch a manually entered measurement on or off, 1 Select the Enter Values SmartKey or select Main Setup then select Enter MeasValues. Select the measurement you want to switch on or off. Select the measurement label field to switch between On and Off. 2 3 Changing Monitor Settings To change monitor settings such as brightness, or QRS tone volume, select the Main Setup permanent key and then select User Interface to enter a submenu where you can change these settings. 42 1 Introduction Adjusting the Screen Brightness 1 2 Select the Brightness SmartKey. Select the appropriate setting for the screen brightness. 10 is the brightest, 1 is the least bright. Optimum is suitable for most monitoring locations and optimizes power usage for battery powered monitors. Your monitor may be configured with a lower brightness for Standby mode and also (for battery powered monitors) for transport to conserve battery power. These settings can only be changed in the monitor's Configuration Mode. If you are using a monitor with an external display, the Brightness SmartKey does not adjust the brightness of this display. See the instructions supplied with the external display for instructions. Setting the Date and Time 1 2 Select the Date, Time screen element from the monitor's info line to enter the Date, Time menu. Select, in turn, the Year, Month, Day, Hour (in 24 hour format, only) and Minute as necessary. Select the correct values from the pop-up list. Select Store Date, Time to change the date and time. 3 If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, the date and time are automatically taken from this. Once it is set, the internal clock retains the setting even when you switch off the monitor. WARNING Changing the date or time will affect the storage of trends and events. Checking Your Monitor Revision 1 2 3 Select Main Setup then select Revisions to open the Monitor Revision menu. Select the correct device from the device pop-up keys. From the Monitor Revision menu, select the monitor component for which you need revision information. Getting Started Once you understand the basic operation principles, you can get ready for monitoring. We also recommend working through the CBT for self-training before using the monitor (not available in all languages). 43 1 Introduction Inspecting the Monitor WARNING If the monitor is mechanically damaged, or if it is not working properly, do not use it for any monitoring procedure on a patient. Contact your service personnel. 1 Before you start to make measurements, carry out the following checks on the monitor including all connected MMSs, modules, or MMS extensions. Check for any mechanical damage. Check all the external cables, plug-ins and accessories. Plug the power cord into the AC power source. 2 3 Check all the functions of the instrument that you need to monitor the patient, and ensure that the instrument is in good working order. Switching On Press the power on/standby switch on the monitor for one second. The monitor performs a self test during which all lamps will light up and a tone will be sounded, and is then ready to use. If you see a message such as CO SENS.WARMUP wait until it disappears before starting to monitor that measurement. Connected devices usually take their power from the monitor. External devices such as gas monitors and those connected via VueLink/IntelliBridge have their own power switches. Power On/Power Off Behavior The general rules determining the behavior of the monitor when connected to, or disconnected from power are as follows:
A monitor that was switched on prior to a temporary power loss switches on again when power is restored. A monitor that was switched off prior to a temporary power loss remains off when power is restored. An X2 or MP5 switches on automatically when connected to a running host monitor. When an X2 or MP5 is disconnected from a running host monitor, the X2 or MP5 continues to run without interruption on battery power. Setting up the Modules 1 Decide which measurements you want to make. 2 Connect the required modules, MMSs, or MMS extensions. 3 Check that you have the correct patient cables and transducers plugged in. The connectors are color-coded to the patient cables and transducers for easy identification. Starting Monitoring After you switch on the monitor, 1 Admit your patient to the monitor. 2 Check that the profile, alarm limits, alarm and QRS volumes, patient category and paced status and so forth are appropriate for your patient. Change them if necessary. 44 1 Introduction 3 Refer to the appropriate measurement chapter for further details of how to perform the measurements you require. WARNING During MR imaging, remove all transducers, sensors and cables from the patient. Induced currents could cause burns. Disconnecting from Power The On/Standby switch does not disconnect the monitor from the ac power source. To disconnect, unplug the power cable. Monitoring After a Power Failure If the monitor is without power for less than one minute, monitoring will resume with all active settings unchanged. If the monitor is without power for more than one minute, the behavior depends on your configuration. If Automat. Default is set to Yes, the default profile will be loaded when power is restored. If Automat. Default is set to No, all active settings are retained, if power is restored within 48 hours. The Automat. Default setting is made in Configuration Mode. Networked Monitoring You can connect your monitor to an Information Center on a network, using one of the optional interfaces:
Wireless LAN IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry System (IIT). Standard wired LAN WARNING Do not connect patient monitors to the standard hospital network. Additionally, when an IntelliVue X2 or MP5 is equipped with IIT and declared at the Information Center as a telemetry device, it allows data continuity when paired to a host monitor. After disconnection from the host monitor, it continues to monitor the patient during transport and provides continuous data to the same sector on the Information Center. (See Assigning a Telemetry Device and a Monitor to One Patient on page 265.) If your monitor is connected to a network, a network symbol is displayed in the upper left corner next to the bed label. To see details about the Care Group, the monitoring equipment, and technical information about the network, Be aware that some network-based functions may be limited for monitors on wireless networks in comparison to those on wired networks. Printout functionality and data export are not guaranteed when using a standard hospital network. in the monitor info line, select the bed label. 45 1 Introduction Using the Integrated PC If your monitor has the optional integrated PC (iPC), you can run applications on the iPC. The applications display data on the monitor's display (or on a second independent display) that is generated on and retrieved from the iPC or externally. For details about applications, refer to the XDS/iPC Instructions for Use. The monitor runs independently of the iPC, and vice versa. WARNING Some clinical applications may show data from another patient. Be aware that some of the data on your patient monitor display may not always be from your patient. Applications running on the iPC cannot act as a primary alarming device and cannot be relied upon for alarm notification. There may be no audible or visible indications apart from what is shown on the screen and any data shown may be delayed. Starting the iPC Your monitor may be configured to have the iPC start up automatically when the monitor is switched on. If not:
1 Select Main Setup then Internal PC. In the Internal PC menu, select Switch PC On to start the iPC. Viewing the iPC Desktop on the Monitor Display 2 If the Desktop is not displayed on the monitor display:
1 Select the iPC key Select Main Setup, Internal PC, then Show PC Window. 2 To hide the Desktop again, select Main Screen.
, or Adjusting the iPC Audio Volume The Audio from the iPC is normally configured to be off. However, your monitor may have the iPC audio configured on for use with specific PC applications. WARNING Always minimize the iPC audio volume or mute it completely when it is not needed for an iPC application. This will avoid iPC tones distracting from or masking tones from the monitor. 46 1 Introduction Using Input Devices with the iPC and Monitor You can connect input devices such as a mouse, trackball and keyboard to the rear of the patient monitor (using the left hand row of USB connectors) and use them for input to the monitor. Correspondingly you can connect input devices to the rear of the patient monitor (using the right hand row of USB connectors) or to the front USB connector and use them for the iPC. Input devices connected to the iPC can also be shared with the patient monitor. Sharing input devices and touchscreen input requires a specific software application; refer to the IntelliVue XDS Application Instructions for Use for details. If the iPC is switched off when input devices are shared, any input devices connected to it will not be available for use with the monitor. Shutting the iPC Down The iPC will be shut down automatically when the monitor is switched off. If you want to shut down the iPC when the monitor is on, 1 Select Main Setup then Internal PC. In the Internal PC menu, select Switch PC Off. 2 If there is a problem with the shutdown, and you need to switch off the iPC manually, 1 Select Main Setup then Internal PC. In the Internal PC menu, select Force PC Off to force the iPC to power down. 2 Special Situations at Shutdown If you switch the monitor off and then on again immediately, the iPC will continue running and will not be shut down. In some situations, shutting down the iPC can take a little time. The monitor will go into Standby mode until the shutdown is complete. By touching the touchscreen, you can bring the monitor back into operating mode. If you do this, the iPC will restart when the shutdown is complete. If the shutdown cannot be completed within a certain time, a window will open giving the reason:
for example, that a file has not been saved, or that updates are being installed. You can then decide whether to wait (for example, in the case of the updates) or to take action (for example by saving the unsaved file). You will also have the option to force shutdown, if necessary. Using the X2 or MP5 with a Host Monitor When you connect an X2 or MP5 in companion mode to a host monitor, an integrated system is formed for monitoring a single patient. The following general observations and considerations apply to such a system:
The host monitor is the "master" of the system, and you have full control over all the system's operation only via the host monitor. Functions you can operate on a monitor in companion mode are restricted to measurements originating in that device. If you try to operate controls that are disabled, you are prompted by the message Not available in Companion Mode. 47 1 Introduction Depending on how it is configured, your host monitor can determine whether the user interface of a connected monitor in companion mode is completely disabled or not, and what is displayed on the screen (a standard main screen, or a blank screen indicating Companion Mode). This is controlled by two monitor settings that are applied to the monitor in companion mode on connection. You can change the settings in Configuration Mode. Global settings such as line frequency, QRS sound and ECG lead colors from the host monitor, are applied to the monitor in companion mode on connection. When disconnected from the host, the monitor in companion mode re-applies its own global settings. No audible alarms are available on a monitor in companion mode when connected to a host monitor. The only visual alarm indication is provided by the alarm lamps which are controlled by the host monitor. Alarms become active again as soon as the monitor in companion mode is disconnected from the host monitor. The host monitor is the master of all ADT information. ADT operations on the monitor in companion mode are disabled, and any pending actions on the monitor in companion mode (for example, admit or end case) are canceled. The date and time of the monitor in companion mode is synchronized with that of the host monitor. Event surveillance in the monitor in companion mode is disabled. Main Setup menu operations and SmartKeys are disabled. While connected to a host monitor, no new events are detected in the monitor in companion mode, and no events are deleted. There is no transfer of stored events from the monitor in companion mode to the host monitor. After disconnection from the host monitor, event surveillance is enabled again in the monitor in companion mode, and new events are detected. 48 2 2Alarms The alarm information here applies to all measurements. Measurement-specific alarm information is discussed in the sections on individual measurements. The monitor has two different types of alarm: patient alarms and INOPs. Patient Alarms Patient Alarms are red and yellow alarms. A red alarm indicates a high priority patient alarm such as a potentially life threatening situation (for example, asystole). A yellow alarm indicates a lower priority patient alarm (for example, a respiration alarm limit violation). Additionally there are short yellow alarms, most of which are specific to arrhythmia-related patient conditions (for example, ventricular bigeminy). INOPs INOPs are technical alarms, they indicate that the monitor cannot measure or detect alarm conditions reliably. If an INOP interrupts monitoring and alarm detection (for example, LEADS OFF), the monitor places a question mark in place of the measurement numeric and an audible indicator tone will be sounded. INOPs without this audible indicator indicate that there may be a problem with the reliability of the data, but that monitoring is not interrupted. Most INOPs are light blue, however there are a small number of INOPs which are always yellow or red to indicate a severity corresponding to red and yellow alarms. The following INOPs can also be configured as red or yellow INOPs to provide a severity indication:
OCCLUSION All monitors in a unit should have the same severity configured for these INOPs. Alarms are indicated after the alarm delay time. This is made up of the system delay time plus the trigger delay time for the individual measurement. See the Specifications section for details. If more than one alarm is active, the alarm messages are shown in the alarm status area in succession. An arrow symbol next to the alarm message informs you that more than one message is active. ECG LEADS OFF NBP CUFF OVERPRESS CUFF NOT DEFLATED TELE DISCONNECTED Replace TeleBatt 49 2 Alarms The monitor sounds an audible indicator for the highest priority alarm. If more than one alarm condition is active in the same measurement, the monitor announces the most severe. Your monitor may be configured to increase alarm indicator volume automatically during the time when the alarm is not acknowledged. Visual Alarm Indicators WARNING No alarms are available on an X2 or MP5 when connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated). Alarms become active again as soon as the X2 or MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor. Alarm fields and other visual alarm indicators are disabled on an X2 or MP5 when connected to a host monitor. The only visual alarm indication is provided by the alarm lamps, which are controlled by the host monitor. Alarm Message An alarm message text appears in the alarm status area at the top of the screen indicating the source of the alarm. If more than one measurement is in an alarm condition, the message changes every two seconds, and has an arrow (
) at the side. The background color of the alarm message matches the alarm priority: red for red alarms, yellow for yellow alarms, light blue for standard INOPs, red for red INOPs and yellow for yellow INOPs. The asterisk symbols (*) beside the alarm message match the alarm priority: *** for red alarms, ** for yellow alarms, * for short yellow alarms. Standard INOPs do not have a symbol, red and yellow INOPs have exclamation marks beside the alarm message: !!! for red INOPs and !! for yellow INOPs. Depending on how your monitor is configured, it may display alarm limit violation messages:
in text form, for example ** SpO LOW or in numeric form, for example **Pulse xxx>yyy where the first number shows the maximum deviation from the alarm limit, and the second number shows the currently set limit. Flashing Numeric The numeric of the measurement in alarm flashes. Bright Alarm Limits If the alarm was triggered by an alarm limit violation, the corresponding alarm limit on the monitor screen is shown more brightly if Show ALarmLimits is enabled and there is sufficient room on the screen. Alarm Lamp A lamp on the monitor's front panel flashes. The alarm lamp is divided into two sections. The right one flashes for a patient alarm, except for short yellow alarms where the lamp will light for approximately six seconds. The color is yellow or red corresponding to the highest priority patient alarm currently present. The left one lights continuously for a light blue INOP and flashes for yellow or red INOPs as follows:
50 2 Alarms INOP Lamp Color Yellow Red On 1.0 seconds 0.25 seconds Off 1.0 seconds 0.25 seconds If only patient alarms are present, and no INOPs, the patient alarms will use both left and right sections to flash (for red and yellow alarms) or light for approximately six seconds (for short yellow alarms). If only INOPs are present, and no patient alarms, red and yellow INOPs will use both left and right sections to flash but light blue INOPs will always light continuously in the left section only. Nurse Call Systems If configured to do so, red, yellow and light blue alarms are indicated on any device connected to the nurse call relay. Audible Alarm Indicators The audible alarm indicators configured for your monitor depend on which alarm standard applies in your hospital. Audible alarm indicator patterns are repeated until you acknowledge the alarm by switching it off or pausing it, or until the alarm condition ceases (if audible alarm indication is set to non-latching). WARNING Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level or off during patient monitoring may result in patient danger. Remember that the most reliable method of patient monitoring combines close personal surveillance with correct operation of monitoring equipment. No audible alarm indicators are available on an X2 or MP5 when connected to a host monitor
(Companion Mode is indicated). Alarms become active again as soon as the X2 or MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor. Alarm Tone Configuration The audible alarm indicators of your monitor are configurable. In the monitor's Configuration Mode, you can:
increase the alarm volume of unacknowledged alarms at regular intervals change the interval between alarm sounds (ISO/IEC Standard alarms only) change the base volume of the red and yellow alarm tones and the INOP tones change the alarm sound to suit the different alarm standards valid in different countries. Traditional Audible Alarms (HP/Agilent/Philips/Carenet) Red alarms and red INOPs: A high pitched sound is repeated once a second. Two-star yellow alarms and yellow INOPs: A lower pitched sound is repeated every two seconds. One-star yellow alarms (short yellow alarms): The audible indicator is the same as for yellow alarms, but of shorter duration. 51 2 Alarms Standard INOPs: an INOP tone is repeated every two seconds. ISO/IEC Standard Audible Alarms Red alarms and red INOPs: A high pitched tone is repeated five times, followed by a configurable pause. Two-star yellow alarms and yellow INOPs: A lower pitched tone is repeated three times, followed by a configurable pause. One-star yellow alarms (short yellow alarms): The audible indicator is the same as for yellow alarms, but of shorter duration. Standard INOPs: a lower pitched tone is repeated twice, followed by a pause. Changing the Alarm Tone Volume The alarm volume symbol at the top right of the monitor screen gives you an indication of the current volume. To change the volume, select the volume symbol and then select the required volume from the pop-up selection. If you want to see a numerical indication of the current alarm volume on a scale from zero to 10, or change the setting, select the Alarm Volume SmartKey. The volume scale pops up. The current setting is indented. To change the setting, select the required number on the scale. Any settings that are inactive ("grayed out") have been disabled in the monitor's Configuration Mode. When the alarm volume is set to zero (off), the alarm volume symbol reflects this. If you switch the alarm volume off, you will not get any audible indication of alarm conditions. There is no alarm volume indication on the screen of an X2 or MP5 when connected to a host monitor
(Companion Mode is indicated). Minimum Volume for No Central Monitoring INOP If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, and the connection is interrupted, the INOP message No Central Monit. will appear within 30 seconds, accompanied by an INOP tone. To help ensure that this INOP, and any other active alarm, is not overlooked, the INOP and alarm tones may be configured to have a minimum volume. In this case, INOP and alarm tones will sound even if the monitor alarm volume is set to zero. Minimum Volume for Severe Yellow or Red INOPs Severe yellow or red INOPs require action to ensure the well-being of the patient. Therefore the minimum volume for the INOP tone is set to at least alarm volume 8, irrespective of the current alarm volume setting. The INOP tone will sound even if the monitor alarm volume is set to zero. 52 2 Alarms The severe INOPs for which this applies are:
CUFF NOT DEFLATED (configurable to yellow or red) NBP CUFF OVERPRESS (configurable to yellow or red)
!!INSERT BATTERY - X2 (yellow) Power Loss Tone When power is lost - no power is available via the power cable - a buzzer will sound, if so configured. The tone can be silenced by pressing the On/Off power switch. Acknowledging Alarms To acknowledge all active alarms and INOPs, select the Silence permanent key. This switches off the audible alarm indicators and alarm lamps. Alternatively, you can acknowledge alarms by pressing the Silence hardkey on the MMS or on the SpeedPoint. The hardkeys follow the behavior configured for the permanent key. A check mark beside the alarm message indicates that the alarm has been acknowledged
. If the monitor is configured to re-alarm, a dashed check mark will be shown
. If the condition that triggered the alarm is still present after the alarm has been acknowledged, the alarm message stays on the screen with a check mark symbol beside it, except for NBP alarms and alarms from other intermittent measurements. When such an alarm is acknowledged the alarm message disappears. If the alarm condition is no longer present, all alarm indicators stop and the alarm is reset. Switching off the alarms for the measurement in alarm, or switching off the measurement itself, also stops alarm indication. Acknowledging Disconnect INOPs Acknowledging an INOP that results from a disconnected transducer switches off the associated measurement, unless the monitor is configured to not allow this. The only exception is ECG/Resp:
acknowledging a disconnect INOP for ECG leads does not switch off the ECG and Resp measurements. Acknowledging a disconnect INOP at the Information Center switches off the audible INOP indicator but does not switch off the measurement. Unplugging an MMS or a plug-in module automatically switches off its measurements. 53 2 Alarms Alarm Reminder If Alarm Reminder is configured on for your monitor, you will get an audible reminder of alarm conditions that remain active after you have acknowledged the alarm. This reminder may take the form of a repetition of the alarm tone for a limited time, or an unlimited repetition of the alarm tone (this is the same as a new alarm). Alarm Reminder is not available for standard, light blue INOPs but for yellow and red INOPs. In Configuration Mode, you can set the interval between silencing the alarm and sounding the reminder tone to one, two, or three minutes. The alarm reminder behavior at the Information Center is different to that at the monitor. Refer to the Information Center Instructions for Use for further information. Pausing or Switching Off Alarms If you want to temporarily prevent alarms from sounding, for example while you are moving a patient, you can pause alarms. Depending on your monitor configuration, alarms are paused for one, two, or three minutes, or infinitely. To view the alarm pause setting chosen for your unit, Select Main Setup, Alarms, then Alarm Settings 1 2 Check the Alarms Off setting. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. To Pause All Alarms Select the Pause Alarms permanent key. If your monitor is configured to infinite pause time, the permanent key is labeled Alarms Off, and selecting it switches alarms off. Or press the Alarms hardkey on the SpeedPoint or Navigation Point. The hardkey follows the behavior configured for the permanent key. Depending on the configuration, you may need to select Confirm to complete the change. To Switch All Alarms Off You can only switch alarms off permanently if your monitor is configured to allow infinite alarms pause and the permanent key is labeled Alarms Off. Select the Alarms Off permanent key. Or press the Alarms hardkey on the SpeedPoint or Navigation Point. The hardkey follows the behavior configured for the permanent key. Depending on the configuration, you may need to select Confirm to complete the change. Pausing alarms infinitely is the same as switching them off. 54 To Switch Individual Measurement Alarms On or Off 1 2 Select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu. Select Alarms to switch between on and off. 2 Alarms The alarms off symbol is shown beside the measurement numeric. While Alarms are Paused or Off The red Alarms Paused lamp on the monitor front panel is lit. In the alarm field, the monitor displays the message ALARMS PAUSED 1:28 or ALARMS OFF, together with the alarms paused symbol or the alarms off symbol. Alarms Paused Alarms Off No alarms are sounded and no alarm messages are shown. INOP messages are shown but no INOP tones are sounded. The only exceptions are the INOPs CUFF NOT DEFLATED, NBP CUFF OVERPRESS and INOPs relating to empty, missing and malfunctioning batteries. These INOPs switch the alarms on, and the INOP tones are sounded, even if alarms are paused or off. You need to remove the INOP condition first before you can switch the alarm tones off again. The nurse call relay is not active. If a disconnect INOP is present and alarms are paused or switched off, the measurement in question may be switched off, depending on monitor configuration. Restarting Paused Alarms To manually switch on alarm indication again after a pause, select the permanent key Pause Alarms (or Alarms Off) again. Alarm indication starts again automatically after the pause period expires. If the monitor is configured to stay paused infinitely, you must select Alarms Off again to restart alarm indication. Resetting Arrhythmia Alarm Timeouts To reset the arrhythmia alarm timeout period, select the Alarms Off or Pause Alarms permanent key and then reselect it. Extending the Alarm Pause Time If your monitor has extended alarm pause enabled, you can extend the alarm pause time. Use this to prevent alarms being indicated, for example, while you are washing a patient or carrying out a procedure. Only extend the alarm pause time when you are sure that clinical personnel are available to monitor the patient's condition closely. 55 2 Alarms To extend the alarm pause time to five or 10 minutes, 1 Select one of the alarm fields. This calls up the Alarm Messages window. Select either the pop-up key PauseAl. 5 Min or the pop-up key PauseAl. 10 Min. Each time you select one of these pop-up keys, the Alarm Pause Time is reset to five (or 10) minutes. 2 Alarm Limits The alarm limits you set determine the conditions that trigger yellow and red limit alarms. For some measurements (for example, BIS and SpO2), where the value ranges from 100 to 0, setting the high alarm limit to 100 switches the high alarm off, or setting the low alarm limit to 0 switches it off. In these cases, the alarms off symbol is not displayed. WARNING Be aware that the monitors in your care area may each have different alarm settings, to suit different patients. Always check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient before you start monitoring. Viewing Individual Alarm Limits You can usually see the alarm limits set for each measurement next to the measurement numeric on the main screen. If your monitor is not configured to show the alarm limits next to the numeric, you can see them in the appropriate measurement setup menu. Select the measurement numeric to enter the menu and check the limits. Viewing All Alarm Limits The Alarm Limits overview window lists the currently set alarm limits for all measurements. If an Apnea alarm delay time is set, this is also shown. The alarms off symbol is shown beside the measurement label of any measurement whose alarm switched off. To open the Alarm Limits window, either select any alarm field to open the Alarm Messages window, then select the Alarm Limits pop-up key, or select the Alarm Limits SmartKey, if configured. 56 2 Alarms 1 Measurement labels, with alarms off symbol where appropriate 2 Current alarm limits 3 Graphic view of current yellow and red alarm limits and currently monitored measurement value. Off indicates the measurement is switched off Select Show ST Limits to expand the list of ST leads and view the currently set alarm limits. Selecting Hide ST Limits hides the list again. You can use the pop-up keys that open with the Alarm Limits window to perform common tasks:
All Al. On/All Al. Off All Lim. Narrow/All Lim. Wide to set narrow or wide alarm AutoLimits for all measurements. Print Limits/Record Limits to print a list of all current alarm limit settings on a connected printer or recorder. These pop-up keys are not available in the window for changing individual alarm limits which you access by selecting the measurement label in the Alarm Limits window. Changing Alarm Limits To change individual measurement alarm limits using the measurement's Setup Menu, 1 In the measurement's setup menu, select the alarm limit you want to change. This calls up a list of available values for the alarm limit. Select a value from the list to adjust the alarm limit. 2 Alternatively, you can use the keys in the measurement alarm limits window, which you access by selecting the measurement label in the Alarm Limits window. 57 2 Alarms T Parameter label High red alarm (view only) High yellow alarm field.

Select a limit from the list. Repeat to set the low yellow alarm field. Using a SpeedPoint or Navigation Point: position the cursor in the high yellow alarm field, then press the knob inwards. Rotate the knob to the left or right to adjust the limit. Press the knob again to set the displayed limit. Repeat to set the low yellow alarm limit. If you set the yellow alarm limit outside the red alarm limit, the monitor will automatically adapt the red alarm limit. When an ST measurement is in the alarm limits window there are also two pop-up keys available labeled All ST Narrow/All ST Wide. With these keys you can set Auto Limits for all ST Leads. 58 2 Alarms About Automatic Alarm Limits The monitor can automatically set alarm limits suited to your individual patient, using the Automatic Alarm Limits function (AutoLimits). This tells the monitor to adapt the alarm limits of selected measurements to the measured vital signs within a defined safe limit. The monitor calculates safe AutoLimits for each patient based on the measured values from the last 12 seconds. The wide and narrow limits have a fixed relationship to the measured value within the non-
pathological range. Outside of this range, no auto limits are calculated. To set values outside of the non-pathological range, limits must be changed manually, based on the clinician's judgment about the specific patient. 1 Wide alarm limits 2 Narrow alarm limits 3 Alarm Limits 4 Measurement value Limits Narrow sets limits close to the currently measured values for situations where it is critical for you to be informed about small changes in your patient's vital signs. Limits Wide sets limits further away from the currently measured values for situations where small changes are not so critical. Use the keys in the measurement alarm limits window to apply AutoLimits for individual measurements. These keys are not available if AutoLimits have been disabled for the measurement in the monitor's Configuration Mode. AutoLimits are not available for all measurements. The list of measurements for which AutoLimits can be used is defined in the monitor's Configuration mode. Use the measurement alarm limits window to check AutoLimits before you apply them to ensure that they are appropriate for your individual patient and their clinical condition. Once applied, AutoLimits are shown on the monitor screen just like manually-set alarm limits. If the AutoLimits are not appropriate for your patient, you must set alarm limits manually. The limits remain unchanged until you set them again or change them manually. About Smart Alarm Delays The monitor can be configured to apply a delay before announcing limit alarms. The delay is calculated using an intelligent algorithm. This capability can be used to suppress alarms which occur because a limit is exceeded for a short time or by a small amount. Currently, Smart Alarm Delays are available only for SpO2 limit alarms and are not available in the U.S.A. or in clinical environments under FDA control. See the Monitoring SpO2 chapter for details. 59 2 Alarms WARNING Before using Smart Alarm Delays, make sure that you fully understand how the delay is applied and what the consequences are. Documenting Alarm Limits The alarm limits pop-up keys appear with the Alarm Limits and measurement alarm limits windows. Select the Print Limits pop-up key to print an overview of all alarm limits on a connected printer. Select the Record Limits pop-up key to send a recording of the alarm limits to a recorder. Reviewing Alarms You can see which alarms and INOPs are currently active in the respective alarms and INOPs fields at the top of the screen. To see the currently active alarms and INOPs listed in one place, select any of the alarm status areas on the monitor screen. The Alarm Messages window pops up. All alarms and INOPs are erased from the Alarm Messages window when you discharge a patient, or if you change to Demonstration Mode. Alarm Messages Window The Alarm Messages window shows all the currently active alarms and INOPs sorted by priority, beginning at the top with the most recent. INOPs are shown on the left hand side and patient alarms are shown on the right hand side. Any active red alarms are shown first, followed by yellow alarms. Acknowledged alarms or INOPs are shown with the check mark symbol. The Alarm Messages window pop-up keys appear when the window is opened. If alarm pause extension is disabled, the pause pop-up keys are inactive ("grayed-out"). Selecting the Review Alarms pop-up key opens the Review Alarms window. If you do not immediately understand an INOP or alarm message, refer to its help text. In the Alarm Messages window, select the INOP message. This calls up a help window with an explanation of the INOP message and, where appropriate, a suggested solution for the problem. If the alarm or INOP was generated in a device other than the monitor (for instance, in an MMS or FMS), this source is specified at the end of the help text. Review Alarms Window The Review Alarms window contains a list of the most recent alarms and INOPs with date and time information. If configured to do so, each alarm is shown with the alarm limit active when the alarm was triggered and the maximum value measured beyond this limit. The Review Alarms window also shows when the monitor was switched on (after being switched off for longer than 1 minute) and any actions related to switching alarms on and off, entering or leaving Standby mode, silencing alarms or changing the ECG source. 60 2 Alarms When you select an item from the list, you can get additional information about that item. If you select a high or low limit alarm in the list, the Graphical Trends window will open to provide further data. If you select an alarm resulting from an event alarm notification, the Event Episode window for that event will open. If you select an alert other than a high or low alarm, a help text window opens with more information. This is the same as the help text window that opens in the Alarm Messages window. Some items in the list are simply log items not related to a patient alert as such (for example, Alarms On or Alarms Off). You cannot see any further information if you select one of these items. When you close these windows you will return to the Review Alarms window. The information in the Review Alarms window is deleted when a patient is discharged, and when you leave Demonstration Mode. The Review Alarms window pop-up keys appear when the window is opened. If alarm pause extension is disabled, the pause pop-up keys are inactive. Selecting the Active Alarms pop-up key opens the Alarm Messages window. Latching Alarms The alarm latching setting for your monitor defines how the alarm indicators behave when you do not acknowledge them. When alarms are set to non-latching, their indicators end when the alarm condition ends. Switching alarm latching on means that visual and/or audible alarm indications are still displayed or announced by the monitor after the alarm condition ends. The indication lasts until you acknowledge the alarm. Viewing the Alarm Latching Settings To see the alarm latching setting for your monitor 1 In the monitor's Main Setup menu, select Alarms. Select Alarm Settings, and see the Visual Latching and Audible Latching settings. 2 This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. You should be aware of the settings chosen for your unit. There are three possible choices each for visual and audible latching, red, red and yellow, and off. These choices can be combined to give the following settings:
Visual Latching Red&Yellow Red&Yellow Red&Yellow Red Only Red Only Off Audible Latching Red&Yellow Red Only Off Red Only Off Off 61 2 Alarms Alarm Latching Behavior Red & Yellow Measurement Alarms Non-latching alarms Alarm has not been acknowledged.

Audible and visual alarm indicators automatically stop. All INOPs are non-latching. See Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms on page 136 for information on one-
star yellow alarms latching behavior. Testing Alarms When you switch the monitor on, a selftest is started. You must check that the alarms lamps light, one after the other, and that you hear a single tone. This indicates that the visible and audible alarm indicators are functioning correctly. For further testing of individual measurement alarms, perform the measurement on yourself (for example SpO2 or CO2) or use a simulator. Adjust alarm limits and check that appropriate alarm behavior is observed. Alarm Behavior at Power On restore the alarm settings from the monitor's configured default Profile, restore the most recently used alarm settings, or switch the alarms off. If the monitor is switched off for longer than one minute and then switched on again (or after a loss of power lasting longer than one minute, or when a patient is discharged), the monitor can be configured to:
After any of these situations, you should check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient and monitoring situation, and if necessary, select the correct Profile and patient category. If power is lost for less than one minute, the alarm on/off condition prior to the power loss is restored. 62 Alarm Recordings 2 Alarms 2 3 4 5 You can set up your monitor so that it automatically triggers alarm recordings at the Information Center, or if configured, to a printer as a realtime report. 1 Press the Main Setup SmartKey. Select Alarms from the Main Setup menu. Select Alarm Recording from the Alarms menu to open the Alarm Recordings menu. Select a measurement from those listed for which you want to change the alarm condition that triggers an alarm recording. This opens a pop-up list. For the desired measurement(s), choose the alarm condition to trigger an alarm recording:
Red Only: an alarm recording will automatically be triggered when the measurement enters a red alarm condition. Red&Yellow: both yellow and red alarms will trigger an alarm recording. Off: disables automatic alarm recording. Refer to the Recording chapter for details of how to set up a recording. 63 2 Alarms 64 3 3Patient Alarms and INOPs This chapter lists patient alarms alphabetically, and technical alarms (INOPs) arranged by the source of the INOP and then alphabetically, irrespective of their priority. All alarms and INOPs are listed here;
the ones which can appear on your monitor will depend on the model and the individual options. For information on alarms and INOPs from the gas modules refer to your Gas Module Instructions for Use. Patient Alarm Messages The measurement labels and abbreviations for pressure, temperature, SpO2, and anesthetic agent alarms are explained in the individual chapters. Some alarms may be shown at the Information Center in shortened form, when transferred through IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry. These shortened alarm texts are included in the list and identified with the note "at Information Center". Note that yellow arrhythmia alarms may be shown with one or with two stars, depending on your monitor configuration and the Information Center revision you are using.

INOP tone What to do The C electrode (AAMI: V electrode) has become detached from the patient or the lead set has been changed. Reattach the electrode or select New Lead Setup in the Setup ECG menu to confirm the new lead set. The arrhythmia algorithm cannot reliably analyze the ECG data. Check the ECG signal quality of the selected primary and secondary leads. If necessary, improve lead position or reduce patient motion. If you have arrhythmia analysis on, and you are not getting a reliable HR because the signal is below a minimum amplitude, unstable, or contains artifact, and you have tried to improve the system performance by choosing another lead and changing electrodes, you should consider turning arrhythmia analysis off. The QT algorithm cannot generate a valid QT value for more than 10 minutes, or 1 minute in the initial phase. The ST algorithm cannot generate a valid ST value. Possible causes are large variations in the measured ST values for consecutive beats, or ventricular paced beats. Review the ECG signal quality and the ST measurement points. If the patient has a ventricular pacemaker, ST analysis is not possible. The ECG signal from the named ECG electrodes [RA, LA, LL, RL, V (or C)] is noisy. Check the ECG connections and make sure that the electrode indicated is attached. Contact your service personnel. The ECG hardware is faulty. 75 3 Patient Alarms and INOPs What to do Not all the required leads for ECG monitoring are connected. Check the ECG connections and make sure that the electrode indicated by <ECG lead> [RA, LA, LL, RL, V or C] electrodes is attached. In EASI mode, all 5 electrodes must be connected. Check that all of the required ECG leads are attached, and that none of the electrodes have been displaced. The ECG signal is too noisy. Check that the electrodes are properly placed and have not dried out. Remove any possible sources of signal noise (such as power cords) from the area around the cable and the patient. The ECG signal may be saturated or overloaded. All ECG alarms have been switched off, or the HR alarm source is not ECG. To resume ECG alarm generation, switch ECG alarms on or select ECG as the alarm source. All ECG alarms have been switched off, or the HR alarm source is not ECG.

Unplug and replug the MMS or module. If the INOP persists, contact your service personnel. Check the sensor placement. Try another adapter cable and sensor. If the INOP persists, contact your service personnel. The update period of displayed values is extended due to an NBP measurement on the same limb or an excessively noisy signal. There is too much interference, caused by a high level of ambient light and/or electrical interference. Cover the sensor to minimize ambient light. If the INOP persists, make sure that the sensor cable is not damaged or positioned too close to power cables. Accuracy may be compromised due to very low perfusion. Stimulate circulation at sensor site. If INOP persists, change the measurement site. Make sure the SpO2 sensor is connected. If the INOP persists, try another adapter cable and sensor. If you silence this INOP, the measurement will be switched off. Excessive patient movement or electrical interference is causing irregular pulse patterns. Try to reduce patient movement or to relieve the cable strain on the sensor. Check the perfusion at measurement site. If necessary, stimulate circulation or change measurement site. If the INOP is due to NBP measurement on the same limb, wait until the NBP measurement is finished. The signal condition of the SpO2 measurement is poor and measurement accuracy may be compromised. The detectable pulsations of the SpO2 signal are outside the specified pulse rate range. SpO2 is analyzing the patient signal to derive Pulse, SpO2 and Perf values.

The measurement automatically disappears from the display. To switch the measurement on again, either reconnect a Pressure transducer or reactivate the measurement label in the Measurement Selection window. Contact your service personnel. The pressure hardware is faulty. Make sure that the pressure transducer is connected to the measurement device or module. If you silence this INOP, the measurement will be switched off. This INOP can only arise when a pressure is selected as the pulse source. It occurs when the pulse detector finds a pulse rate above 350bpm. This is usually caused by movement artifact or electrical interference. This INOP can only arise when a pressure is selected as the pulse source. It occurs when the pulse rate being measured is less than 25 beats per minute or the amplitude is less than three mmHg. Check the catheter and connections to the patient. Make sure that the measurement has been properly prepared and zeroed, and that the transducer is level with the heart. If this INOP persists, try another transducer. Possible causes are a measured pressure outside the allowed pressure range, or a broken wire to the transducer. Increase the scale for the pressure wave. A Pressure measurement label has been deactivated, either by unplugging a module, or by deactivating the label in the Measurement Selection window. The measurement automatically disappears from the display. To switch the measurement on again, either replug the module or reactivate the measurement label in the Measurement Selection window.

All patient demographic and ADT information is shared between the patient monitor and the Information Center, for example, patients admitted to the monitor are automatically admitted to a connected Information Center. Note that when an X2 or MP5 monitor is connected to a host monitor, its ability to admit or discharge a patient is disabled, and the host monitor controls patient demographic and ADT information. Admitting a Patient The monitor displays physiological data and stores it in the trends as soon as a patient is connected. This lets you monitor a patient who is not yet admitted. It is however important to admit patients properly so that you can identify your patient on recordings, reports, and networked devices. During admission you enter data that the monitor needs for safe and accurate operation. For example, the patient category setting determines the algorithm the monitor uses to process and calculate some measurements, the safety limits that apply for some measurements, and the alarm limit ranges. NOTE It is strongly recommended that the same patient data fields be configured to be mandatory at the monitor and the Information Center. To admit a patient, 1 Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrg SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window. 2 Clear any previous patient data by selecting the Dischrge Patient or End Case pop-up key and then Confirm. If you do not discharge the previous patient, you will not be able to distinguish data from the previous and current patients, for example, in the trend database. Select Admit Patient. 3 4 Enter the patient information: select each field and use the on-screen keyboard or choose from the pop-up list of alternatives to input information. If a conventional keyboard or a barcode scanner is connected to the monitor you can use this to enter patient information. Last Name: Enter the patient's last name (family name), for example Doe. First Name: Enter the patient's first name, for example Doe, John. 95 4 Managing Patients Middle Name (if configured to appear): Enter the patient's middle name. Lifetime Id, Encounter Id: Whether these fields appear and how they are labeled can be configured for your hospital. One or both fields may be displayed and the labels may read:
MRN, Case Id, Visit Id, or other alternatives. Enter the appropriate data for the fields displayed. Patient Cat.: Choose the patient category, either Adult, Pedi, or Neo. Paced: Choose Yes or No (You must use Yes if your patient has a pacemaker). Height: Enter the patient's height. Weight: Enter the patient's weight. Date Of Birth: Enter the patient's date of birth. Enter this in the form dd/mm/yyyy. Age: The monitor calculates the patient age automatically. Gender: Choose Male or Female. Notes (1) / Notes (2): Enter any extra information about the patient or treatment. BSA: The monitor calculates the body surface area automatically. Select Confirm. The patient's name appears on the monitor info line at the top of the screen. Patient Category and Paced Status The patient category setting determines the algorithm the monitor uses to process and calculate some measurements, the safety limits that apply for some measurements, and the alarm limit ranges. The paced setting determines whether the monitor shows pacemaker pulses or not. When Paced is set to No, pace pulses are filtered and therefore do not show in the ECG wave. WARNING Patient Cat. and Paced status will always contain a value, regardless of whether the patient is fully admitted or not. If you do not specify settings for these fields, the monitor uses the default settings from the current profile, which might not be correct for your patient. Patient category Changing the patient category may change the arrhythmia and NBP alarm limits. Always check alarm limits to make sure that they are appropriate for your patient. Paced status For paced patients, you must set Paced to Yes. If it is incorrectly set to No, the monitor could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm during asystole. Admitting a Centrally-Monitored Patient You can admit a patient at either the bedside or the Information Center. When you admit a patient, the patient's name appears on the bedside monitor and the Information Center. If you do not fill in all patient information required by the Information Center, the Information Center may reject the admission. Complete all the required fields and try again to admit the patient. Quick Admitting a Patient Use Quick Admit only if you do not have the time or information to fully admit a patient. Complete the rest of the patient demographic details later. 96 4 Managing Patients Select the Quick Admit SmartKey. 1 2 Enter the required data (ID fields or last name depending on configuration) with the keyboard or a barcode scanner. Select Enter. In the confirmation window, select Confirm to discharge the previous patient (if confirmation is configured). 3 4 5 Check that patient category and paced status are correct for the new patient. If the monitor is connected to an Information Center and only the ID field is entered, the patient name is set to - - - at the Information Center. Complete the rest of the demographic details as soon as possible to fully identify the patient on the network, on the monitor and on printed reports. To complete the details, select Admit Patient again and complete all required fields. Editing Patient Information To edit the patient information after a patient has been admitted, select the patient name field on the Main Screen to open the Patient Demographics window, and make the required changes. Discharging a Patient WARNING Always perform a discharge before starting monitoring for a new patient, even if your previous patient was not admitted. Failure to do so can lead to data being attributed to the wrong patient. A discharge:
clears the information in the Patient Demographics window erases all patient data (such as trend, event, and calculation data) from the monitor, measurement modules and Information Center. This ensures that data from a previous patient are not mixed with data from the new patient. resets patient category and paced settings to the settings defined in the default Profile resets all monitor and measurement settings as well as the active Screen to the settings defined in the default Profile discharges the patient from the Information Center. When a patient is discharged from the monitor or from an Information Center, all patient data is deleted. Make sure that you have printed out any required reports before discharging. Check that a functioning local or central printer is available before you use End Case. To Discharge a Patient 1 2 Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrg SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window and associated pop-up keys. Select the pop-up key for either:
97 4 Managing Patients End Case - to print any configured end case reports or vital signs recording, discharge the patient and clear the patient database, then enter standby mode. If an End Case SmartKey is configured for your monitor, you can also select this instead and then confirm. To see which end case reports are set up for your monitor, select Main Setup, Reports, then Auto Reports. For each auto report, if End Case Report is set to On, this report will be printed when you select End Case. See Setting Up Auto Reports on page 327 for information on setting up end case reports. Dischrge Patient - to discharge the patient without printing any reports. New Patient Check after a specified power-off period after a specified standby period The monitor can be configured to ask you in certain situations:
when no basic vitals (HR, RR, Pulse, SpO2, NBP) have been measured for a specified period whether a new patient is now being monitored. The pop-up window is entitled Is This A New Patient?. The monitor offers a Yes key to discharge the previous patient and begin monitoring a new patient and a No key to continue monitoring with the current patient data and settings. The time periods for the three conditions can be configured independently. Transferring Patients To save you from having to enter the same patient data multiple times and enable patient transfer without loss of data, information can be shared between Multi-Measurement Modules (MMS), patient monitors, and Information Centers. patient demographic information is shared between connected MMSs, patient monitors, and Information Centers measurement settings and calibration data can be uploaded from an MMS to a patient monitor, if configured trend information can be uploaded from an MMS to a patient monitor, if configured. Different sets of patient and measurement-related data are stored in the monitor and the Multi-
Measurement Module. Understanding this will help you to understand what happens to patient data when you transfer patients. 98 Patient Information Stored in Monitor Patient demographics (name, DOB, patient IDs) Monitor settings (alarm pause time, alarm volume) Measurement settings for all measurements (alarm limits, measurement on/off, etc.) yes yes yes Trend data Calculation data (HemoCalc data) yes, for all MMS and extensions measurements (up to a maximum of 16 or 32, depending on your database configuration) yes Events data yes 4 Managing Patients Stored in MMS and extensions yes no yes, for all MMS and extensions measurements most recent 8 hours of information, for all MMS and extensions measurements no no WARNING If the monitor is not battery-powered, you cannot monitor during transport. Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved to another monitoring location on the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information. 1 Before you disconnect the MMS from the monitor, select the patient name field or select the Admit/ Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window, then select the Transfer pop-up key. If the patient is not admitted or not monitored by an Information Center, the Transfer key is inactive ("grayed-out"). This step preserves the patient's demographic data during the transfer. 2 Remove the MMS and any connected extensions from the monitor. 3 Connect the MMS to the transfer monitor and monitor your patient during the move. 4 At the new location, connect the MMS to the monitor. If the monitor detects a patient mismatch, a window will open showing your patient's data and asking whether to Complete Transfer Of This Patient?. Select Yes to complete the transfer. This re-admits the patient from the transfer list to the new monitor. This will upload the patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the MMS to the receiving monitor. 5 6 Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct. 99 4 Managing Patients Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient with X2 or MP5 WARNING Measurements from a MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on battery power. They are only available when the X2 is running on external power, either when connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A). Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved to another monitoring location on the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information. 1 Before you disconnect the X2/MP5 from the host monitor, select the patient name field or select the Admit/ Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window, then select the Transfer pop-up key. If the patient is not admitted or not monitored by an Information Center, the Transfer key is inactive ("grayed-out"). This step preserves the patient's demographic data during the transfer. 2 Remove the X2/MP5 and any connected extensions from the monitor. 3 Move the patient using the X2/MP5 as the transport monitor. 4 At the new location, connect the X2/MP5 to the new host monitor. If the monitor detects a patient mismatch, a window will open showing your patient's data and asking Complete Transfer Of This Patient?. Select Yes to complete the transfer. This re-admits the patient from the transfer list to the new monitor. This will upload the patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the X2/MP5 to the receiving monitor. 5 6 Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct. Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient with X2 or MP5 using IIT WARNING Measurements from a MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on battery power. They are only available when the X2 is running on external power, either when connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A). Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved with an X2 or MP5 to another monitoring location on the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information. The X2/MP5 has an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface (IIT), is connected to a host monitor, and is declared as a telemetry device at the Information Center. NOTE The Transfer key is not available while the X2/MP5 is connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated). 1 Remove the X2/MP5 and any connected extensions from the host monitor. 2 Move the patient using the X2/MP5 as the transport monitor. 3 At the new location, just before connecting the X2/MP5 to the new host monitor:
open the Patient Demographics window. select the Transfer pop-up key. 100 4 Managing Patients wait until the transfer has completed. 4 Connect the X2/MP5 to the new host monitor. The monitor detects a patient mismatch and a window will open showing your patient's data and asking Complete Transfer Of This Patient?. Select Yes to complete the transfer. This re-admits the patient from the transfer list to the new monitor. This will upload the patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the X2/MP5 to the receiving monitor. 5 6 Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct. If you accidentally transfer a patient, use Re-Admit to restore this patient's data to the Information Center. If you are not connected to the network, select Clear Transfer to leave transfer mode. The patient data remains in the monitor. Transferring a Patient with an X1 (no Information Center) Scenario: A patient is moved to another monitoring location using a transport monitor and re-admitted at the new monitor. 1 Disconnect the X1 from the original monitor and silence the resulting UNPLUGGED INOP. If you are sure that the patient will not be returning to this monitor, you should perform a discharge or end-case. This prevents data from the next patient accidentally being mixed up with your current patient's data. 2 Connect the X1 to the transport monitor and move the patient. 3 At the new monitoring location, remove the X1 from the transport monitor and connect it to the new monitor. If prompted, re-admit the patient to the new monitor: in the Select Patient window, select the patient in the X1 to retain the data in the X1. This will upload the patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the X1 to the monitor. Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct. 4 Transferring a Patient with an X2 or MP5 (no Information Center) WARNING Measurements from a MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on battery power. They are only available when the X2 is powered from AC mains, either when connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A). Scenario: A patient is moved to another monitoring location using the X2 or MP5 and re-admitted at the new monitor. 1 Disconnect the X2/MP5 from the original host monitor and silence the resulting UNPLUGGED INOP. If you are sure that the patient will not be returning to this monitor, you should perform a discharge or end-case. This prevents data from the next patient accidentally being mixed up with your current patient's data. 2 Move the patient using the X2/MP5 as the transport monitor. 3 At the new monitoring location, connect the X2/MP5 to the new host monitor. 4 If prompted, re-admit the patient to the new monitor: in the Select Patient window of the new monitor, select the patient in the X2/MP5 to retain the data in the X2/MP5. This will upload the 101 4 Managing Patients patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the X2/MP5 to the monitor. Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct. Data Upload from an MMS The Multi-Measurement Module stores eight hours of patient trend data at one-minute resolution. It also stores patient demographic information and the measurement settings (including the ST baseline) and calibration data for the measurements carried out by the MMS and any connected extensions. This data can be uploaded to an IntelliVue patient monitor, if your monitor is configured to do so and if at least five minutes of trend information is stored in the MMS. Your monitor's data upload settings are defined in Configuration Mode to suit your patient transfer use model. How data is uploaded to the host monitor depends on the configuration mode settings MMS Trend Upload and MMS Sett. Upload. If there is a patient mismatch and you select Continue Monitor, no data will be uploaded from the MMS. Data Exchange Between Information Centers You can transfer demographic data and trend data from one IIC to another by selecting Transfer on the patient monitor. Trend data is not shared between Information Centers and monitors. Resolving Patient Information Mismatch an MMS and a monitor, an X2 or MP5 and a host monitor, a monitor and an Information Center, When you connect together devices which store patient demographic data, for example:
the system compares patient category, paced status, and unique patient identification in order to synchronize this information. If configured to do so, the monitor indicates a mismatch if the information is not identical. Depending on your monitor's configuration, this mismatch may be automatically resolved or you may have to resolve it manually. If your monitor is configured to resolve mismatches automatically, depending on the configuration, either the monitor or the Multi-Measurement Module data is automatically retained. WARNING 1 When a monitor is connected to an Information Center by the wireless IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface, the patient data will automatically be merged in the case of a transfer. This means there is no patient discharge at the monitor and settings and trend data will be retained. You will see a message on the monitor and the Patient Demographics window will automatically appear so that you can check the data and change it if necessary. It is important to resolve the mismatches as soon as they are identified. Failure to do so could result in using incorrect/confusing data to make clinical decisions. Certain settings, for example Paced and Patient Cat., may not match between the Information Center and the monitor. If the Paced status is set incorrectly, the system could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm in 2 102 4 Managing Patients the case of asystole. It is important that the patient category is set correctly so the ECG can be analyzed correctly and initial arrhythmia alarm limits set. In the case where an MP5 or X2 with an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface is declared as a
"telemetry device" at the Information Center and is connected to a host monitor, it is important to resolve an existing mismatch between the monitor and the Information Center before disconnecting the MP5/X2. Failure to do so discharges the MP5/X2 and synchronizes the demographics and settings to the Information Center. Manually Resolving Patient Mismatch The patient mismatch is indicated by question marks (???) beside the questionable fields in the Monitor Info Line and in the Select Patient window. The monitor displays a message such as Different patients in Central and Monitor. The Select Patient window automatically opens so you can decide which patient data to use. You do not have to resolve the mismatch immediately, but the indicators remain until you do. For some common mismatch situations, the monitor will simplify the resolution by suggesting a solution for the mismatch. For example, when a patient arrives after transport and the Transfer key has been selected, the monitor will show this patient's data and ask Complete Transfer Of This Patient?. You can then select Yes to complete the transfer. If you select No you will go to the Select Patient window. There can be up to three sets of demographic data in the Select Patient window if the patient is different in the Information Center, monitor, and MMS. After you resolve the mismatch, the monitor displays a confirmation window that shows the patient that has been selected and where data will be erased, if applicable. Confirm your choice. The monitor automatically displays the Patient Demographics window after confirmation. Verify that the settings shown are correct for the patient. Gender, date of birth, height, weight, and nursing notes do not generate a mismatch. If these fields are different on different devices, the monitor resolves them itself. For example, it may take date of birth from the Information Center, whilst taking gender from the MMS. Always check the Patient Demographics after combining patients, to ensure that you are satisfied with the results. Change them if necessary. WARNING After resolving a patient mismatch, check that the monitor settings (especially patient category, paced status and alarm limits) are correct for the patient. Patient Mismatch - If One Set of Patient Data is Correct If there is a mismatch between an Information Center and a monitor, or a monitor and an MMS, choose the data set you want to continue using for this patient by selecting one of the sectors in the Select Patient window. 103 4 Managing Patients 1 2 Patient demographics Patient category and paced status Same Patient - see Patient Mismatch - If Both Patient Data Sets Are Correct on page 104. 3 4 New Patient - see Patient Mismatch - If Neither Patient Data Set is Correct on page 104. After you resolve the mismatch, the monitor displays a confirmation window that shows the patient that has been selected and where data will be erased, if applicable. Confirm your choice. The monitor automatically displays the Patient Demographics window after confirmation. Verify that the settings shown are correct for the patient. Patient Mismatch - If Neither Patient Data Set is Correct A patient mismatch where neither set of patient data is correct might occur if you connect a new MMS to a monitor in order to prepare for a new patient, before you actually start measuring. Select New Patient if you are sure that none of the information is correct. This discharges all patients, erases all data in both the monitor and MMS, resets all settings to the default Profile, and lets you admit a new patient. Patient Mismatch - If Both Patient Data Sets Are Correct A patient mismatch where both sets of patient data are correct might occur if you admit a new patient at the monitor (or Information Center) before the patient arrives at your unit and then connect the MMS that was used during the patient transport to the monitor. Select Same Patient if the patient information is different, but you are sure it is the same patient. This merges the demographics and updates them in the Information Center, monitor, and MMS, according to this table. Be aware that your monitor may be configured to merge trend data from the MMS and the monitor, and to upload measurement settings from the MMS to the monitor. Patient Information Patient name Patient IDs Screen Notes This information is taken from... the monitor, if the patient was admitted there. For centrally-admitted patients, this information is taken from the Information Center. 104 Patient Information Patient Category Date of Birth Height Weight Gender Paced Status Trend data 4 Managing Patients This information is taken from... the Multi-Measurement Module, if connected, otherwise the data is taken from the monitor. Paced status is always set to Yes where there is a mismatch in patient information. if there is newer trend data stored in the MMS, it is uploaded to the monitor. Automatically Resolving Patient Mismatch Your monitor can be configured to automatically resolve mismatches in one of two ways. continue using the patient in the MMS, and delete the old data in the monitor. This is suitable for transport monitors. continue with the patient in the monitor, and delete the data in the MMS. Care Groups If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, you can group bedside monitors into Care Groups. This lets you:
view information on the monitor screen from another bed in the same or in a different Care Group. be notified of yellow or red alarm conditions at the other beds in the Care Group. see the alarm status of all the beds in the Care Group on each monitor screen. There are two main types of Care Groups:
standard care group (Bed-based Care Group) - up to 12 patients monitored by up to 4 Information Centers unit group (Unit-based Care Group) - for a complete unit with up to 64 patients monitored by up to 4 Information Centers Monitors must be assigned to these Care Groups at the Information Center. There is a third care group which can be assigned locally at the bedside. This is the My Central care group which includes all beds (up to 16) from the Information Center your bed is connected to. This care group setting is typically used in facilities with only one Information center. The selection of beds is automatic and cannot be changed. The functions available with Care Groups depend on the Information Center revision your monitors are connected to. See your Information Center Instructions for Use for further details. 105 4 Managing Patients Understanding the Care Group Overview Bar The Care Group monitors' status is shown in symbol form in the Care Group overview bar. Flashing symbols indicate active alarms, symbols that are not flashing indicate alarms that have been acknowledged. Selecting a bed symbol calls up the window for that bed or a setup window to select this. The Care Group overview bar must be configured to display on the monitor Screen. If it is not visible on your monitor, select a Screen which has been configured to show the bar. Some screens may show the Care Group monitors grouped together in a tabular format on the right hand side of the screen. Care Group Symbols (four alternative display possibilities depending on space available) No data from this bed The alarms are on but there are no currently active alarms at this monitor The highest priority alarm at this monitor is a standard INOP The highest priority alarm at this monitor is a short yellow alarm The highest priority alarm at this monitor is a yellow alarm The highest priority alarm at this monitor is a red alarm The highest priority alarm at this bed is a yellow INOP The highest priority alarm at this bed is a red INOP 106 Care Group Symbols (four alternative display possibilities depending on space available) Care Group Symbols (used in the Care Group overview bar and the My Care Group window) 4 Managing Patients The alarms at this monitor are suspended The monitor is in standby mode The monitor is in Demonstration mode The current monitor This is a telemetry bed This bed is on a wireless network. This bed is on a wired network. This is a "paired" bed, with a bedside monitor and a telemetry transmitter assigned. Viewing the My Care Group Window This window shows the alarm status, bed name, and patient name for every bed in the Care Group. The window for the Unit group shows first the beds of the Information Center this bed is connected to. By selecting the Information Center name at the top of the list, you can display a list of all Information Centers associated with the Unit group, and select another Information Center to view. To enter the My Care Group window, select the Other Patients SmartKey, if configured, or in the Main Setup menu, select My Care Group. 107 4 Managing Patients Use the My Care Group pop-up keys to navigate through the Care Groups:
My Unit lets you view a list of all the Information Centers in your Care Unit. Select an Information Center to see a list of the monitors connected to it. Select any monitor to see the Other Patient window for that bed. Other Units lets you view a list of all the Care Units in your Care Domain. Select any Care Unit to view a list of the Information Centers connected to it. Select an Information Center to see a list of the monitors connected to it. Select any monitor to see the Other Bed window for that bed. Alarming Beds lets you view a list of all beds in your care group with an unacknowledged alarm. The beds are listed in order of alarm severity. Viewing the Other Bed Window The Other Bed window lets you view a subset of the waveform and numeric information from another bed on the same network. Waves and numeric information from another bed are delayed. If configured, Other Bed information is displayed in color, using the colors defined by the Information Center. The Other Bed window can be configured to pop-up automatically when an alarm occurs at another bed. To avoid too many windows appearing (for example, in large care groups) and covering the monitor's own bed data on the screen, you can temporarily disable this automatic pop-up:
1 Select Main Setup then Network followed by Auto Window Select Disabled 2 When automatic pop-up is disabled in this way, an icon will appear as a reminder in the Care Group Overview Bar next to the monitor's own bed label automatic pop-up is disabled for five minutes or until you set it to Enabled again. To open the Other Bed window, select the required bed label or patient name in the Care Group Overview Bar. If you are in a Unit Group with many beds, the My Care Group window may open for you to select the bed. Depending on the configuration, the The Other Bed window may be configured to display embedded in a specially designed Screen. To display the embedded Other Bed screen element, in the Change Screen menu, select a Screen designed to show the Other Bed information permanently. 108 4 Managing Patients Note that a Screen with an embedded Other Bed screen element cannot be displayed on the D80 Intelligent Display. Changing the Screen may automatically change the bed shown in the other bed window. If you switch to a different Screen, you should check that the correct other bed is displayed. Other Bed Pop-Up Keys Select the Other Patients SmartKey or the Other Bed window or embedded screen element to access the associated pop-up keys:
Next Wave lets you view waveforms not currently shown in the other bed window. More Vitals lets you view more numerics not currently shown in the other bed window. Next Bed lets you view waveforms and numerics from the next available bed in the Care Group. My Care Group lets you call up the Care Group window to select another bed. Alarming Beds lets you view a list of all beds in your care group with an unacknowledged alarm. The beds are listed in order of alarm severity. Silence Bed lets you silence active alarms at the other bed. (Whether you see this key depends on the revision and configuration of the Information Center your monitors are connected to.) WARNING The Silence Bed pop-up key in the Other Bed window silences alarms at a remote bed. Be aware that accidental use of this key could silence alarms for the wrong patient. To silence own bed alarms use the Silence permanent key on screen. Visual Alarm Status Information in the Other Bed Window If individual alarms are switched off at the other bed, this is indicated by the crossed alarm symbol beside the measurement numeric. If alarms are switched off at the other bed, the message Alarms Off is shown in the other bed window. In the embedded Other Bed window, the crossed speaker symbol in the upper right hand indicates that the volume of the audible alarm status change notification for the other beds in the care group is set to zero at the overview monitor. 109 4 Managing Patients Care Group Alarms Changes in the alarm status of beds in a Care Group are announced visually and audibly at all other beds in the same Care Group. The visual and audible indicators used depend on the monitor and Information Center configuration. When an alarm is detected at another bed in the Care Group, the alarm status is shown in the Care Group overview bar as an icon. a message informing you about the care group alarm is shown in the monitor status line. if configured, the Other Bed window, the Alarming Beds window or the My Care Group window may pop up on the Screen (if automatic alarm notification is enabled at the bedside monitor and at the Information Center). The automatic alarm notification is suppressed when a window, menu or pop-up keys are active. if configured, an audible status change notification is issued. The tone type and volume can be configured. Automatic alarm notification can be switched off permanently in the monitor's Configuration Mode or at the Information Center. To temporarily disable and re-enable automatic alarm notification at the bedside monitor, for example if you want to carry out a procedure, in Monitoring Mode:
1 Select the network symbol on the monitor screen to call up the Network menu. Select Auto Window to toggle between the settings Enabled and Disabled. 2 This setting resets to the default at discharge and when the monitor is switched on. Always re-enable the Auto Window as soon as possible. 110 5 5ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring The electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart and displays it on the monitor as a waveform and a numeric. This section also tells you about arrhythmia monitoring (see About Arrhythmia Monitoring on page 129), ST monitoring (see About ST Monitoring on page 139) and QT monitoring (see About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring on page 149). Skin Preparation for Electrode Placement Good electrode-to-skin contact is important for a good, noise-free ECG signal, as the skin is a poor conductor of electricity. 1 2 Clip or shave hair from sites as necessary. 3 Wash sites thoroughly with soap and water, leaving no soap residue. Select sites with intact skin, without impairment of any kind. We do not recommend using ether or pure alcohol, because this dries the skin and increases the resistance. 4 Dry skin thoroughly. 5 Gently abrade the skin using ECG skin preparation paper to remove dead skin cells to improve the conductivity of the electrode site. Connecting ECG Cables 1 Attach the clips or snaps to the electrodes before placing them. If you are not using pre-gelled electrodes, apply electrode gel to the electrodes before placement. Place the electrodes on the patient according to the lead placement you have chosen. 2 3 Attach the electrode cable to the patient cable. 4 Plug the patient cable into the white ECG connector. An ECG waveform and numeric appears on the monitor display. 111 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring CAUTION To protect the monitor from damage during defibrillation, for accurate ECG information and to protect against noise and other interference, use only ECG electrodes and cables specified by Philips. Selecting the Primary and Secondary ECG Leads The monitor uses the primary and secondary lead to compute HR and to analyze and detect cardiac arrhythmias. They are also available for recordings and for display on the Information Center. The secondary lead is only used if your monitor is configured for multi-lead (instead of single-lead) arrhythmia analysis. You should choose a lead as primary or secondary lead that has the following characteristics:
the QRS complex should be either completely above or below the baseline and it should not be biphasic the QRS complex should be tall and narrow the P-waves and T-waves should be less than 0.2 mV To select a lead as primary or secondary lead:
In the Setup ECG menu, select Primary or Secondary, then select the appropriate lead. You can assign any available lead whether it is currently displayed or not. Checking Paced Status It is important to set the paced status correctly when you start monitoring ECG. To change the paced status in the Setup ECG menu, select Paced to toggle between Yes or No. WARNING Pace pulse rejection must be switched on for paced patients by setting Paced to Yes. Switching pace pulse rejection off for paced patients may result in pace pulses being counted as regular QRS complexes, which could prevent an asystole event from being detected. When changing profiles, and at admission/discharge, always check that paced status is correct for the patient. Some pace pulses can be difficult to reject. When this happens, the pulses are counted as a QRS complex, and could result in an incorrect HR and failure to detect cardiac arrest or some arrhythmias. Make sure that pace pulses are detected correctly by checking the pace pulse markers on the display. Keep pacemaker patients under close observation. Understanding the ECG Display Your display may be configured to look slightly different. 112 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring 1 3 2 Lead label of the displayed wave 1 mV calibration bar Pacer spikes Pace pulse markers 4 5 Current heart rate 6 Current heart rate alarm limits 7 EASI lead placement label (located here when present) 8 ECG Filter label ECG HR numeric: This is the heart rate derived from the monitored ECG. Pace pulse markers: These are shown if the Paced status has been set to Yes, the pacer spikes are not configured to have a fixed size, and the patient has a paced signal. Pacer Spikes: The pacer spikes are shown in white, unless the ECG wave is white, then they will be green. If the pacer spikes have been configured to have a fixed size, they will be displayed in the background as a dotted line. 1 Pacer spikes configured to have a fixed size Defibrillator synchronization marks: If an HP/Agilent/Philips defibrillator is connected, or the 2nd Sync Out channel is configured to ECG SyncPuls and a sync cable is plugged in, the synchronization marks (vertical lines on the ECG wave) are shown on the ECG wave. The synchronization marks will be shown in yellow, unless the ECG wave is yellow, then they will be green. ST numerics in ECG wave: ST numerics can be configured to show underneath the ECG wave on the left side. Monitoring Paced Patients An ECG optimized for monitoring a paced patient should look like this:
1 Normal Beats 2 Pace Pulses/Pace Beats You should choose a lead as primary or secondary lead that has these characteristics:
113 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring the normal QRS complex should be either completely above or below the baseline and it should not be biphasic. For paced patients, the QRS complexes should be at least twice the height of pace pulses. the QRS complex should be tall and narrow the P-waves and the T-waves should be less than 0.2 mV. For ease of identification on the screen, the pacer spikes can be configured to have a fixed size. They are then shown in the background as a dotted lines. The length of the dotted line is fixed to the wave channel height and is independent of the actual pacer amplitude. Setting the Paced Status (Pace Pulse Rejection) In the Setup ECG menu, select Paced to toggle between Yes and No. You can also change the paced status in the Patient Demographics window. When Paced is set to Yes:
Paced Pace Pulse Rejection is switched on. This means that pacemaker pulses are not counted as extra QRS complexes. pace pulse marks are shown on the ECG wave as a small dash (only when the pacer spikes are not configured to have a fixed size). Non-Paced The paced symbol is displayed on the main screen. When Paced is set to No, pacer spikes are not shown in the ECG wave. Be aware that switching pace pulse rejection off for paced patients may result in pace pulses being counted as regular QRS complexes, which could prevent an asystole event from being detected. Avoiding Pace Pulse Repolarization Tails Some unipolar pacemakers display pace pulses with repolarization tails. These tails may be counted as QRSs in the event of cardiac arrest or other arrhythmias. If you note a visible repolarization tail, choose a lead that decreases the size of the repolarization tail. 1 Repolarization tail (note width) Changing the Size of the ECG Wave If any of the displayed ECG waves is too small or clipped, you can change the size of one or all of the ECG waves on the screen. Changing the adjustment factor only changes the visual appearance of the ECG wave on the screen. It does not affect the ECG signal analyzed by the monitor. 114 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Comparing the wave size to the 1 mV calibration bar on the ECG wave segment can help you to get an idea of the true ECG signal strength. If you choose a fixed adjustment factor, the 1 mV calibration bar will be the same size for all the displayed ECG waves. If you choose Auto Size, or an individual size using the Size Up/Size Down keys, the calibration bar may be a different size for each wave. To Change the Size of an Individual ECG Wave 1 2 Select the wave segment you want to change. This calls up the lead menu for this segment. In the lead menu, select Size Up to increase wave size or Size Down to decrease the size. Selecting Auto Size lets the monitor choose the optimal adjustment factor for all available ECG waves. To Change the Size of all the ECG Waves 2 To change the size of all the ECG waves on the screen by a fixed adjustment factor, 1 In the Setup ECG menu, select Adjust Size. Select the required adjustment factor from the line of pop-up keys. Auto Size: to let the monitor choose the optimal adjustment factor for all the ECG waves. Size X0.5 to halve the wave size Size X1 to display the wave without zoom Size X2 to double the wave size Size X4 to multiply the wave size by four Previous Size: to return one step to the previous size Changing the Volume of the QRS Tone The QRS tone is derived from either the HR or Pulse, depending on which is currently selected as the alarm source. The QRS volume can be set from 0 to 10 (0 means off). To change the QRS volume, in the Setup ECG menu select QRS Volume and then select the appropriate volume from the pop-up list. Changing the ECG Filter Settings The ECG filter setting defines how ECG waves are smoothed. An abbreviation indicating the filter type is shown underneath the lead label on the monitor display. Filter settings do not affect ST measurement. To change the filter setting, in the Setup ECG menu, select Filter and then select the appropriate setting. Monitor: Use under normal measurement conditions. Ext. Monitor: Use when diagnostic quality is required but low frequency interference or a wandering baseline may be expected. The upper edge frequency is the same as the Diag setting and the lower edge frequency is the same as the Monitor setting. Filter: The filter reduces interference to the signal. It should be used if the signal is distorted by high frequency or low frequency interference. High frequency interference usually results in large amplitude spikes making the ECG signal look irregular. Low frequency interference usually leads to a wandering or rough baseline. In the operating room, the Filter reduces artifacts and interference from electrosurgical units. Under normal measurement conditions, 115 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring selecting Filter may suppress the QRS complexes too much and thus interfere with the clinical evaluation of the ECG displayed on the monitor. This does not affect the ECG analysis performed by the monitor. If AutoFilter is set to On in Configuration Mode, the filter setting will automatically be set to Filter if electromagnetic interference is detected. Diag: Use when diagnostic quality is required. The unfiltered ECG wave is displayed so that changes such as R-wave notching or discrete elevation or depression of the ST segments are visible. The setting Diag selects the highest available ECG bandwidth which is 0.05 to 150 Hz for the Adult, Pedi and Neo patient category. The term "diagnostic" relates only to the ECG bandwidth requirements for diagnostic electrocardiographic devices as outlined in the ANSI/
AAMI standard EC11-1991. Selecting Positions of Va and Vb Chest Leads (for 6-lead placement) The two chest leads for the 6-lead placement can be positioned at any two of the V1 to V6 positions. Select the positions you have used in the Setup ECG menu, so that the chest leads will be correctly labeled. 1 In the Setup ECG menu, select Va Lead. Select the position used from the list. Select Vb Lead and select the position used from the list. 2 3 Choosing EASI or Standard Lead Placement In the Setup ECG menu, select Lead Placement and then Standard or EASI. You must enable either standard lead placement or EASI lead placement. EASI is shown beside the 1 mV calibration bar on the ECG wave on the display, and EASI is marked on any recorder strips and printouts. See the section on EASI ECG Lead Placement on page 125 for electrode placement diagrams. About ECG Leads To make it possible to compare measured ECG signals, the electrodes (or lead sets) are placed in standardized positions, forming so-called "leads". To obtain ECG signals optimized for use in diagnosis and patient management in different care environments, different lead sets in varying lead placements can be used. You can use either standard lead placements or EASI lead placements with this monitor. When placing electrodes, choose a flat, non-muscular site where the signal will not be interfered with by either movement or bones. Correct lead placement is always important for accurate diagnosis. Especially in the precordial leads, which are close to the heart, QRS morphology can be greatly altered if an electrode is moved away from its correct location. 116 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ECG Leads Monitored If you are using a 3-electrode set a 5-electrode set a 6-electrode set a 10-electrode set an EASI 5-electrode set these leads are available:
Resp is measured between electrodes:
RA and LL I, II, III RA and LL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V and MCL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, Va, Vb RA and LL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 RA and LL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 I and A Changing Lead Sets To change the ECG lead set, When adding leads: place the additional electrodes as required - the monitor automatically recognizes the new lead placement. When removing leads: there are two possibilities - removing the complete chest leads block or removing individual leads. If you unplug the chest lead block from the trunk cable connector, the monitor will automatically recognize the new lead placement. Remove individual leads by removing the electrodes. The monitor will issue a LEAD OFF INOP message; select New Lead Setup in the Setup ECG menu and the INOP message will disappear. ECG Lead Fallback If fallback is configured on and there is a leads off INOP in the primary lead (and in the secondary lead, if you are using multi-lead monitoring) for longer than 10 seconds, and if another lead is available, this available lead automatically becomes the primary lead. This is known as lead fallback. When the Leads Off condition is corrected, the leads are automatically switched back. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. ECG Lead Placements The labels and colors of the ECG electrodes differ according to the standards that apply for your hospital. The electrode placement illustrations in this chapter use the AAMI labels and colors. Electrode labels Electrode colors EASI I S A N E AAMI RA LA LL RL V V1 V2 IEC R L F N C C1 C2 AAMI White Black Red Green Brown Brown/Red Brown/Yellow IEC Red Yellow Green Black White White/Red White/Yellow 117 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Electrode labels Electrode colors EASI AAMI V3 V4 V5 V6 IEC C3 C4 C5 C6 AAMI Brown/Green Brown/Blue Brown/Orange Brown/Violet IEC White/Green White/Brown White/Black White/Violet Standard 3-Lead Placement 1 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 2 3 118 Standard 5-Lead Placement 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring 1 RA placement: directly below the clavicle and near the right shoulder LA placement: directly below the clavicle and near the left shoulder 2 3 RL placement: on the right lower abdomen LL placement: on the left lower abdomen 4 5 V placement: on the chest, the position depends on your required lead selection 6-Lead Placement For a 6-lead placement use the positions from the 5-lead diagram above but with two chest leads. The two chest leads, Va and Vb, can be positioned at any two of the V1 to V6 positions shown in the chest electrode diagram below. The Va and Vb lead positions chosen must be selected in the Setup ECG Menu to ensure correct labeling. 119 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Chest Electrode Placement A - Angle of Lewis 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 V3R -V6R on the right side of the chest in positions corresponding to those on the left VE over the xiphoid process V7 on posterior chest at the left posterior axillary line in the fifth intercostal space V7R on posterior chest at the right posterior axillary line in the fifth intercostal space For accurate chest electrode placement and measurement, it is important to locate the fourth intercostal space. 1 Locate the second intercostal space by first palpating the Angle of Lewis (the little bony protuberance where the body of the sternum joins the manubrium). This rise in the sternum is where the second rib is attached, and the space just below this is the second intercostal space. Palpate and count down the chest until you locate the fourth intercostal space. 2 10-Lead Placement When monitoring 12-leads of ECG, using a 10-Electrode Lead Placement, it is important to correctly place electrodes and to label all 12-lead ECG reports with the correct lead placement. 120 Conventional 12-Lead ECG 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring 1 V1 - V6 LA 2 3 RA 4 RL LL 5 In conventional 12-Lead ECG using 10 electrodes, an electrode is placed on the right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg. Six V- electrodes are placed on the chest. The right leg electrode is the reference electrode. Limb electrodes:
Place arm electrodes on the inside of each arm, between the wrist and the elbow. Place leg electrodes inside of each calf, between the knee and the ankle. Chest electrodes:
V1 - on the 4th intercostal space at the right sternal border V2 - on the 4th intercostal space at the left sternal border V3 - midway between the V2 and V4 electrode positions V4 - on the 5th 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 121 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Modified 12-Lead ECG LA 1 2 V1-V6 LL 3 4 RL 5 RA 6 Angle of Lewis If your institution uses modified 10 Lead ECG electrode placement (the Mason-Likar Lead System), place the four limb electrodes close to the shoulders and lower abdomen. The six V electrodes are placed on the chest in the same position as the conventional 12-lead placement. Choosing Standard or Modified Electrode Placement If your institution uses modified 10 Lead ECG electrode placement (the Mason-Likar Lead System), you must switch Mod.LeadPlacment to On in the monitor. To do this, in the Setup ECG menu, select Mod.LeadPlacment to toggle between On and Off. When Mod.LeadPlacment is set to On, 12 Lead ECG Reports will be labeled 12 Lead ECG Report (Mason-Likar), and captured 12-lead ECGs will be labeled Mason-Likar to the right of the bandwidth annotation at the Information Center. When Mod.LeadPlacment is set to Off, 12 Lead ECG Reports will be labeled 12 Lead ECG Report (Standard), and captured 12-lead ECGs will not be annotated at the Information Center. WARNING Do not use ECG analysis interpretation statements and measurements for 12-lead ECGs obtained using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement. This may lead to misdiagnosis since the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement does not look the same as the conventional 12-lead ECG and may mask inferior infarction due to calculated axis, R, P and T wave magnitudes shifts and ST slope. Do not export 12-lead ECGs obtained using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement. Captured 12-Lead ECGs using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement exported from the Information Center are not annotated with the Mason-Likar label. 122 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Capture 12-Lead You can view a 12-Lead ECG on the screen, capture a 12-Lead ECG episode, preview the captured ECG data and then store it and send it to a connected Information Center for analysis. You can also print a 12-Lead report. The monitor can store one 12-Lead ECG episode at any time. Viewing the Realtime 12-Lead ECG Select the Capture 12 Lead SmartKey, or Select Main Screen, then Capture 12 Lead. To open the 12-Lead ECG window and view the realtime ECG waves, If a previously viewed 12-Lead ECG was not stored, a window will pop up asking whether you want to keep it or not. The title bar of the window shows the date and time when this 12-Lead ECG was captured. If you do not need the ECG, select No to discard it, otherwise, select Yes and then select Store & Send to store that 12-Lead ECG and send it to an Information Center (if one is connected). If your patient is not admitted, you will be prompted to enter at least the age and gender of the patient. This information is needed for analysis of the 12-Lead ECG at the Information Center but is not essential if you only want to capture the 12-Lead ECG without sending it for analysis. To enter this information:
1 2 Enter the information in the Patient Demographics window. 3 Open the 12-Lead ECG window again as described above. Select the Admit Patient pop-up key, then The age and gender will now be displayed in the title bar of the pop-up keys. To change the way the realtime waves are displayed, select the Change View pop-up key or select the wave area. You can switch between a one or two column display. The two column display lets you see a larger representation of the waves. While the realtime 12-Lead waves are being viewed in the window, the ECG filter mode (see Changing the ECG Filter Settings on page 115) is changed to the 12-Lead filter setting (see Setting Up the 12-Lead ECG on page 124). Capturing the 12-Lead ECG To capture the last 10 seconds of ECG data, select the Capture Waves pop-up key. The pop-up key is active as soon as enough wave data is available; until then a progress bar is displayed in the title bar of the pop-up keys. A preview of the captured data appears on the screen (unless your monitor is connected to an Information Center with software release earlier than Revision M then the captured data is automatically stored and sent to the Information Center). The title bar of the pop-up keys will now show the current filter setting and, if you are using EASI lead placement, an EASI indicator (see EASI ECG Lead Placement on page 125). You can at any time return to the realtime 12-Lead ECG view by selecting the Show Waves pop-up key. From there, you return to the preview window by selecting the Show Preview pop-up key. 123 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Setting Up the 12-Lead ECG In the Preview window, select the Setup 12 Lead pop-up key to choose settings for filter, gain, etc., if changes are needed.

EASI ECG Lead Placement Using a standard 5-electrode set in EASI lead placement you can monitor up to 12 standard ECG leads simultaneously and continuously at the bedside. EASI provides a monitoring method for trending ST segment changes that can provide an early indication of ischemia. WARNING EASI-derived 12-lead ECGs and their measurements are approximations to conventional 12-lead ECGs. As the 12-lead ECG derived with EASI is not exactly identical to the 12-lead conventional ECG obtained from an electrocardiograph, it should not be used for diagnostic interpretations. Respiratory monitoring is also possible with the EASI placement; respiration is measured between the I and A electrodes. Place the electrodes as accurately as possible to obtain the best quality EASI measurements. When EASI lead placement is selected, EASI is shown beside the 1mV calibration bar on the ECG wave on the display, and EASI is marked on any recorder strips and printouts. EASI Monitoring During INOP Conditions If one of the derived EASI leads has an INOP condition (for example, LEAD OFF), a flat line is displayed. After 10 seconds, the directly acquired EASI AI, AS, or ES lead (depending on which is available) is displayed with the corresponding lead label. This causes an arrhythmia relearn. 125 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring EASI Electrode Placement 1 E (V) - on the lower sternum at the level of the fifth intercostal space 2 A (LL) - on the left midaxillary line at the same level as the E electrode S (LA) - on the upper sternum I (RA) - on the right midaxillary line at the same level as the E electrode 3 4 5 N - reference electrode - can be anywhere, usually below the sixth rib on the right hip ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview The ECG and arrhythmia alarms available depend on which measurements are switched on, and the arrhythmia option enabled for your monitor.

Special alarm features which apply only to ECG are described here. Extreme Alarm Limits for Heart Rate The extreme rate alarms, Extreme Tachy and Extreme Brady, generated by the active alarm source, either HR or Pulse, are set in Configuration Mode by adding a set value (the value) to the high and low alarm limits. 1 Extreme Brady Limit Low Limit 2 3 High Limit 4 Extreme Tachy Limit 5 Extreme Brady 6 Extreme Tachy You need to know which value has been configured for your monitor. Changing the high and low alarm limits automatically changes the extreme alarm limits within the allowed range. To see the extreme rate alarms set for your monitor, in the Setup ECG menu, see the menu items ExtrTachy and ExtrBrady. 127 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ECG Alarms Off Disabled Be aware that your hospital department may have decided to disable the Alarms Off setting for ECG in the monitor's Configuration Mode. In this case, HR alarms cannot be switched off in Monitoring Mode. If you try to switch off the HR alarms, you will see the message To activate enter Config and enable Alarms Off. HR Alarms When Arrhythmia Analysis is Switched Off When arrhythmia analysis is switched off, only these HR-related alarms will be detected:
the asystole alarm the ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia alarm the extreme tachycardia and extreme bradycardia alarms the high heart rate and low heart rate alarms. Enhanced Asystole Detection In order to improve alarming on asystole under certain conditions, you can set Asystole Detect. in Configuration Mode to Enhanced. In enhanced mode an asystole alarm will be suppressed for up to five seconds if a valid beat-to-beat Pulse is detected from a Pressure. ECG Safety Information CAUTION Interference from instruments near the patient and ESU interference can cause problems with the ECG wave. See the monitor specifications for more information. WARNING Defibrillation and Electrosurgery:
Do not touch the patient, or table, or instruments, during defibrillation. After defibrillation, the screen display recovers within 10 seconds if the correct electrodes are used and applied in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. ECG cables can be damaged when connected to a patient during defibrillation. Check cables for functionality before using them again. According to AAMI specifications the peak of the synchronized defibrillator discharge should be delivered within 60 ms of the peak of the R wave. The signal at the ECG output on the IntelliVue patient monitors is delayed by a maximum of 30 ms. Your biomedical engineer should verify that your ECG/Defibrillator combination does not exceed the recommended maximum delay of 60 ms. When using electrosurgical (ES) equipment, never place ECG electrodes near to the grounding plate of the ES device, as this can cause a lot of interference on the ECG signal. General:
When you are connecting the electrodes or the patient cable, make sure that the connectors never come into contact with other conductive parts, or with earth. In particular, make sure that all of the ECG electrodes are attached to the patient, to prevent them from contacting conductive parts or earth. 128 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring During surgery:
Use the appropriate orange electrode ECG safety cable, or lead cable with an orange connector, for measuring ECG in the operating room. These cables have extra circuitry to protect the patient from burns during cautery, and they decrease electrical interference. This also reduces the hazard of burns in case of a defective neutral electrode at the HF device. These cables cannot be used for measuring respiration. Pacemaker failure:
During complete heart block or pacemaker failure to pace/capture, tall P-waves (greater than 1/5 of the average R-wave height) may be erroneously counted by the monitor, resulting in missed detection of cardiac arrest. Patients exhibiting intrinsic rhythm:
When monitoring paced patients who exhibit only intrinsic rhythm, the monitor may erroneously count pace pulses as QRS complexes when the algorithm first encounters them, resulting in missed detection of cardiac arrest. The risk of missing cardiac arrest may be reduced by monitoring these patients with low heart rate limit at or slightly above the basic/demand pacemaker rate. A low heart rate alarm alerts you when the patient's heart rate drops to a level where pacing is needed. Proper detection and classification of the paced rhythm can then be determined. Filtered ECG signal from external instruments:
Instruments such as defibrillators or telemetry units produce a filtered ECG signal. When this signal is used as an input to the bedside monitor, it is filtered again. If this twice-filtered signal is passed to the arrhythmia algorithm, it may cause the algorithm to fail to detect pace pulses, pacemaker non-capture, or asystole, thus compromising paced patient monitoring performance. External pacing electrodes:
When a pacemaker with external pacing electrodes is being used on a patient, arrhythmia monitoring is severely compromised due to the high energy level in the pacer pulse. This may result in the arrhythmia algorithm's failure to detect pacemaker noncapture or asystole. Fusion beat pacemakers:
Pacemakers that create fusion beats (pace pulse on top of the QRS complex) cannot be detected by the monitor's QRS detector. Rate adaptive pacemakers:
Implanted pacemakers which can adapt to the Minute Ventilation rate may occasionally react on the Impedance measurement used by patient monitors for the determination of the Resp value and execute pacing with the maximum programmed rate. Switching off the Resp measurement can prevent this. About Arrhythmia Monitoring Arrhythmia analysis provides information on your patient's condition, including heart rate, PVC rate, rhythm, and ectopics. The monitor uses the user-selected primary and secondary ECG leads for single-
lead or multi-lead arrhythmia analysis. During arrhythmia analysis, the monitor continuously 129 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring optimizes ECG signal quality. This is important for arrhythmia analysis. The monitor continuously filters the ECG signal to remove baseline wander, muscle artifact, and signal irregularities. Also, if the Patient Paced status is set to Yes, pace pulses are filtered out to avoid processing them as QRS beats. detects beats, for example, QRS complexes, identifying them for further analysis. measures signal features such as R-wave height, width, and timing. creates beat templates, and classifies and labels beats to aid in rhythm analysis and alarm detection. examines the ECG signal for ventricular fibrillation, asystole, and noise. Arrhythmia Options Your monitor has either the basic or the enhanced arrhythmia option. Both options provide rhythm and ectopic status messages and beat labeling. The number of rhythms being classified, events being detected, and alarms generated differs according to the option. The alarms available with the different options are listed in the section ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview on page 126, the rhythm and ectopic messages detected are listed in Arrhythmia Status Messages on page 132. Where Can I Find More Information?
See the Application Notes on ST and Arrhythmia supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the arrhythmia algorithm and its clinical application. Switching Arrhythmia Analysis On and Off In the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select Arrhythmia to toggle between On and Off. Select the Confirm pop-up key which appears at the bottom of the screen. 1 2 Be aware that when arrhythmia analysis is switched off, the message Arrhythmia Off appears beside the ECG wave, if configured to do so only the HR-related alarms are detected (the asystole alarm, the ventricular fibrillation/
tachycardia alarm, the extreme tachycardia and extreme bradycardia alarms, the high heart rate and low heart rate alarms) HR High and HR Low alarms behave like normal yellow alarms, no timeout periods are active. Choosing an ECG Lead for Arrhythmia Monitoring It is important to select a suitable lead for arrhythmia monitoring. Guidelines for non-paced patients are:
QRS complex should be tall and narrow (recommended amplitude > 0.5 mV) R-Wave should be above or below the baseline (but not bi-phasic) T-wave should be smaller than 1/3 R-wave height the P-wave should be smaller than 1/5 R-wave height. For paced patients, in addition to the above, the pace pulse should be:
not wider than the normal QRS the QRS complexes should be at least twice the height of pace pulses large enough to be detected, with no re-polarization. 130 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring To prevent detection of P-waves or baseline noises as QRS complexes, the minimum detection level for QRS complexes is set at 0.15 mV, according to AAMI-EC 13 specifications. Adjusting the ECG wave size on the monitor display (gain adjustment) does not affect the ECG signal which is used for arrhythmia analysis. If the ECG signal is too small, you may get false alarms for pause or asystole. Aberrantly-Conducted Beats As P-waves are not analyzed, it is difficult and sometimes impossible for the monitor to distinguish between an aberrantly-conducted supraventricular beat and a ventricular beat. If the aberrant beat resembles a ventricular beat, it is classified as ventricular. You should always select a lead where the aberrantly-conducted beats have an R-wave that is as narrow as possible to minimize incorrect calls. Ventricular beats should look different from these 'normal beats'. Instead of trying to select two leads with a narrow R-wave, it may be easier to just select one lead and use single lead arrhythmia monitoring. Extra vigilance is required by the clinician for this type of patient. Atrial Fibrillation Alarm normal beat RR intervals must be irregular PR interval deviation must be large P-wave region must not match well The monitor performs atrial fibrillation analysis using information about the RR irregularity, PR interval variability and P wave variability. In order to generate an Afib alarm the following criteria must be detected for 1 minute:
Atrial fibrillation analysis is only available for adult patients and atrial fibrillation detection cannot be performed on PVCs or Paced beats. Since most atrial flutters have regular RR intervals, they cannot be detected by the atrial fibrillation algorithm. An Afib alarm can be falsely detected in the presence of:
sinus arrhythmia, muscle noise, or If you also have monitors with earlier software revisions, the Afib alarm will not be generated after a transfer to one of these monitors. Always leave the Irregular HR alarm switched on, so that this alarm can be generated in such situations. See the Application Note on Arrhythmia/ST supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the arrhythmia algorithm and ECG analysis. electrode motion artifact. Intermittent Bundle Branch Block Bundle branch and the other fascicular blocks create a challenge for the arrhythmia algorithm. If the QRS during the block changes considerably from the learned normal, the blocked beat may be incorrectly classified as ventricular, causing false PVC alarms. You should always select a lead where the bundle branch block beats have an R-wave that is as narrow as possible to minimize incorrect calls. Ventricular beats should look different from these 'normal beats'. Instead of trying to select two leads with a narrow R-wave, it may be easier to just select one lead and use single lead arrhythmia monitoring. Extra vigilance is required by the clinician for this type of patient. 131 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Understanding the Arrhythmia Display Your monitor screen may look slightly different from the illustration. 1 Beat label Pace pulse marks 2 3 Rhythm status message PVC Numeric 4 5 HR Numeric 6 Ectopic status message 7 Delayed arrhythmia wave Viewing Arrhythmia Waves To review arrhythmia beat labels, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select Annotate Arrhy. The wave showing the primary ECG lead will be delayed by six seconds and shown on a gray background. Beat labels will be annotated above the ECG wave and Delayed will be written beside it. To return to the normal ECG primary lead display, select Annotate Arrhy again. Arrhythmia Beat Labels Arrhythmia beat labels tell you how the monitor is classifying beats. N = Normal V = Ventricular Ectopic S = Supra-ventricular Premature P = Paced
' = Pacer spike
" = Biventricular Pacer Spike L = Learning patient's ECG A = Artifact (noisy episode)
? = Insufficient information to classify beats I = Inoperative condition (e.g., LEADS OFF) M = Pause or missed beat Arrhythmia Status Messages The monitor displays two types of status messages:
132 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Rhythm Status Messages -- to indicate the patient's rhythm. Ectopic Status Messages -- to indicate the presence of ectopic beats. These status messages are shown on the right hand side of the primary ECG wave. They are updated every second, with the exception of the Sinus and Supraventricular (SV) rhythm messages. The Sinus and SV rhythm messages are updated based on the current heart rate, taking into account the patient category (adult, pediatric, or neonatal). For the message to change from one rhythm status to another, the HR must be in the new range for five beats. If you have basic arrhythmia capability, you will get only messages for the alarms provided with this level. Rhythm Status Messages The label B or E indicates basic (B) or enhanced (E) arrhythmia capability. Rhythm Status Message Description Asystole Vent Fib/Tach Vtach Sustained VT Vent Rhythm No QRS for 4 consecutive seconds in absence of vent fib or chaotic signal A fibrillatory wave for 4 consecutive seconds A dominant rhythm of adjacent Vs and a HR > the V-Tach Heart Rate Limit Ventricular tachycardia rhythm for more than 15 seconds A dominant rhythm of adjacent PVCs and a HR the V-Tach HR Limit A dominant rhythm of N, V, N, V A dominant rhythm of N, N, V, N, N, V A dominant rhythm of paced beats Consistently irregular rhythm A dominant rhythm of SV beats preceded by P-waves Vent Bigeminy Vent Trigeminy Paced Rhythm Irregular HR Sinus Brady Sinus Rhythm Sinus Tach SV Brady SV Rhythm SV Tach Unknown ECG Rhythm Rhythm cannot be determined Learning ECG Learning Rhythm CANNOT ANALYZE ECG ECG signal is predominantly invalid and therefore cannot be Algorithm is learning the ECG beat morphology Algorithm is learning the rhythm of the classified beats A dominant rhythm of SV beats not preceded by P-waves analyzed Ectopic Status Messages The label B or E indicates basic (B) or enhanced (E) arrhythmia capability.

Alarm timeout periods are cleared Asystole, Vfib, and HR alarms (when there are enough beats to compute the HR) are active. No Stored arrhythmia templates are cleared other alarms are active. Initiating Arrhythmia Relearning Manually To initiate relearning manually, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select Relearn Arrhy. While the monitor is learning, the delayed arrhythmia wave displays the beat label L and the rhythm status message Learning ECG. Next, the monitor determines the dominant rhythm. The beats are labeled N, and the rhythm status message changes to Learning Rhythm. After relearning is complete, you should check the delayed arrhythmia wave to ensure that the algorithm is labeling the beats correctly. If beats are still not classified correctly, check that the ECG is optimized for arrhythmia monitoring. You may need to select a different lead or change the electrodes or electrode positions if there is excessive noise, unstable voltage, low amplitude, or large P- or T-waves. 134 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Automatic Arrhythmia Relearn Arrhythmia relearning is initiated automatically whenever:
ECG monitoring is switched on The ECG Lead or Lead Label of the primary/secondary lead is changed manually, or when fallback occurs A Leads Off INOP condition (that has been active for > 60 seconds) ends. If you are monitoring multi-lead arrhythmia and there is a change in one lead only, relearning happens only in the affected lead. During this learning phase, the system will continue monitoring using the other lead. Therefore, the delayed arrhythmia wave is not labeled L and there is no Learning ECG rhythm status message. In addition, alarm timeout periods are maintained, stored arrhythmia templates are maintained for the operative lead, and all alarms switched on are active. Arrhythmia Relearn and Lead Fallback Lead fallback triggers an automatic arrhythmia relearn. WARNING If arrhythmia learning takes place during ventricular rhythm, the ectopics may be incorrectly learned as the normal QRS complex. This may result in missed detection of subsequent events of V-Tach and V-
Fib. For this reason you should:
take care to initiate arrhythmia relearning only during periods of predominantly normal rhythm and when the ECG signal is relatively noise-free be aware that arrhythmia relearning can happen automatically respond to any INOP messages (for example, if you are prompted to reconnect electrodes) be aware that a disconnected EASI electrode triggers an arrhythmia relearn on all leads always ensure that the arrhythmia algorithm is labeling beats correctly. Arrhythmia Alarms Arrhythmia alarms can be switched on and off and the alarm settings changed just like other measurement alarms, as described in the Alarms section. Special alarm features which apply only to arrhythmia are described here. The different alarms detected and generated by the monitor depend on the level of arrhythmia analysis that is enabled. For a complete list of arrhythmia alarms and INOPs, see the Alarms chapter. The monitor detects arrhythmia alarm conditions by comparing ECG data to a set of pre-defined criteria. An alarm can be triggered by a rate exceeding a threshold (for example, HR >xx), an abnormal rhythm (for example, Ventricular Bigeminy), or an ectopic event (for example, Pair PVCs). 135 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms Yellow arrhythmia alarms are short yellow alarms specific to arrhythmia-related patient conditions. Depending on your monitor and Information Center configuration, they may be shown with one or two stars. The heart rate alarms (High HR and Low HR) can be configured as short yellow or standard yellow alarms. When they are standard yellow alarms they exist independently of the other arrhythmia alarms and no timeout periods apply. WARNING When arrhythmia analysis is on, all yellow ECG and arrhythmia alarms are short yellow alarms (one-
star). This means that the yellow alarm lamp and the tones are active for six seconds only, after which the blinking numeric and the alarm message remain for up to three minutes. The only exception to this are the HR High and Low alarms which can be configured as standard yellow alarms. Red alarms behave as usual. Arrhythmia Alarms and Latching When using arrhythmia analysis, Visual Latching and Audible Latching should be on for red alarms, or at least Visual Latching should be on. Because of the transient nature of arrhythmia alarms, many arrhythmia conditions may go unnoticed if alarm latching is off. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. Switching Individual Arrhythmia Alarms On and Off Some arrhythmia alarms can be individually switched on or off:
Non-Sustain, Vent Rhythm, Run PVCs, Pair PVCs, R-On-T PVCs, V.Bigeminy, V.Trigeminy, Multif.PVCs, Pause, SVT, IrregularHR, Missed Beat, PVCs/min and Afib. To switch individual alarms on or off, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select the alarm from the list to toggle between On and Off. The monitor displays the INOP message SOME ECG ALRMS OFF, if configured, when more alarms are switched off than configured in your active profile. Switching All Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms On or Off All yellow arrhythmia alarms can be switched on and off together. To do this, In the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select All Yellow Off or All Yellow On. Adjusting the Arrhythmia Alarm Limits Some arrhythmia alarms have limits which can be individually adjusted:
VTach HR, VTach Run, PVCs/min, Vent Rhythm, SVT HR, SVT Run, Asystole Thresh., Pause Threshold 1 To adjust alarm limits, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select the alarm to be adjusted. Select the appropriate setting from the pop-up list. 2 Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout Periods Normally, an arrhythmia alarm is announced when an alarm condition is detected. However, there are certain situations that can inhibit the audible and visible indications of the alarm even though the alarm condition was detected. These include:
136 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring if a more serious alarm condition is active in the same chain if a timeout period is in effect for a particular alarm if a timeout period is in effect for a higher alarm in that chain. See Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining on page 138 for more details on alarm chains. What is a Timeout Period?
Timeout periods are automatically started when a yellow arrhythmia alarm is detected. During this period, the same alarm condition will not generate another alarm. Alarm conditions further down the same arrhythmia alarm chain will also not generate an alarm, but alarms further up the chain will: see Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining on page 138. To view the timeout period configured for your monitor, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, see the menu items TimeOut 1st and TimeOut 2nd. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. Resetting the Timeout Period To reset the timeout period, select the Alarms Off or Pause Alarms permanent key and then reselect it. How are Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms Indicated?
When a yellow arrhythmia alarm is generated, it triggers visual and audible indicators. Yellow arrhythmia alarms are always set to latch visually for three minutes except HR High/Low alarms, if configured to standard yellow. Depending on the alarm condition, audible and visual alarm indicators will appear as follows:
Alarm Condition Example Short yellow alarm tone sounds Alarm message Single alarm instance Continuous alarm condition Non-sustained V-
tach PVCs/min HIGH when alarm condition is initially when alarm condition is initially detected detected and - as an alarm reminder - every time the configured timeout period has expired each time the alarm condition is detected, provided that the configured timeout period has expired Same intermittent alarm condition Pair of PVCs displayed for 3 minutes (latching time) until the alarm condition stops, plus a maximum of three minutes latching time If you silence a yellow arrhythmia alarm and the alarm condition still exists, the visual indicators continue until the condition stops. You will get an alarm reminder every time the configured timeout period has expired. If you silence a yellow arrhythmia alarm and the alarm condition has stopped, the visual indicators are immediately cleared. Silencing an alarm does not reset its timeout period, so you will not get a realarm for the same condition or lower on the chain until the timeout expires. 137 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining When arrhythmia analysis is switched on, multiple alarm conditions may be present. Announcing all of the detected alarm conditions would be confusing, and might hide a more serious condition. For this reason, arrhythmia alarms are prioritized in three alarm "chains": PVC Alarms; Beat Detection Alarms, and Rate Alarms. Only the highest priority alarm condition in each chain is announced. Lower priority alarms in the same chain will not be announced while an alarm is active or during the configured timeout period. If alarm conditions of equal severity from different chains are detected, the alarm condition that occurred most recently is announced. The exception is Irregular HR, which only occurs if no other alarms are occurring. See ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview on page 126 for information on which alarms are included in the different arrhythmia options. See Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout Periods on page 136 for an explanation of how alarm timeouts work. 138 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring If there is an active Vent Bigeminy alarm, a PVCs > xx/min will not be triggered because it is lower on the same chain. However, a high HR alarm will become active because it is on a different chain. Higher priority alarms supersede previous alarms. For example, if a Vent Trigeminy alarm is active and a Pair PVCs occurs, the Pair alarm will be activated. Understanding PVC-Related Alarms PVC-related alarms are detected on the basis of the current ventricular heart rate and the number of consecutive PVCs counted (referred to as PVC Runs). Example:
This diagram illustrates the conditions under which PVC alarms would be generated if the Vent Rhythm Run limit is set to 12, the V-Tach Run Limit is set to 8, and the V-Tach HR Limit is set to 100. You will see that if both the V-Tach Heart Rate Limit and the V-Tach Run Limit are exceeded, a red V-Tach alarm is generated if the ventricular heart rate exceeds the V-Tach Heart Rate Limit but not the V-Tach Run Limit, a yellow Non-Sustain VT alarm is generated. About ST Monitoring The monitor performs ST segment analysis on normal and atrially paced beats and calculates ST segment elevations and depressions. This information can be displayed in the form of ST numerics and snippets on the monitor. All available leads can be monitored continuously. The ECG waveform does not need to be displayed on the monitor for ST Segment analysis. ST analysis is always performed using a dedicated filter which ensures diagnostic quality. If you are monitoring ECG using an ECG filter mode other than Diagnostic, the ST segment of the ECG wave may look different from the ST segment of the ST snippet for the same wave. For diagnostic evaluation of the ST segment, always switch to Diagnostic filter mode or use the ST snippet. 139 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring if you are unable to get a lead that is not noisy if arrhythmias such as atrial fib/flutter are present, which may cause an irregular baseline if the patient is continuously ventricularly paced if the patient has left bundle branch block. WARNING Some clinical conditions may make it difficult to achieve reliable ST monitoring, for example:
You should consider switching ST monitoring off if these conditions are present. This monitor provides ST level change information; the clinical significance of the ST level change information should be determined by a physician. ST segment monitoring is intended for use with adult patients only and is not clinically validated for use with neonatal and pediatric patients. For this reason, the recommended - and default - setting for ST monitoring in neonatal and pediatric modes is ST Analysis: Off. Switching ST On and Off To switch all ST monitoring on or off, in the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Analysis to toggle between On and Off. Selecting Leads for ST Analysis You select which leads to use for ST analysis in the Setup ST Analysis menu. To see the current list of leads selected for ST analysis:
1 Enter the Setup ST Analysis menu. 2 Select Setup ST Leads. This opens the Setup ST Leads pop-up window. Leads chosen for ST monitoring are listed here. There are two pop-up keys at the bottom of the screen, Add and Delete. If all leads are already selected, the Add pop-up key is disabled. To choose a lead for ST monitoring:
1 Select the Add key at the bottom of the Setup ST Leads window. This opens the Choices pop-up window. 2 Choose a lead from the list for ST monitoring. This closes the Choices window and adds the selected lead to the list of chosen leads. To disable ST monitoring for a lead:
1 Choose a lead from the list in the Setup ST Leads window. Select the Delete key. This removes this lead from the list. 2 NOTE The order in which ST leads are listed in the Setup ST Leads menu determines the order in which ST leads are displayed on the monitor screen. To change the order in which ST leads are displayed, 1 In the Setup ST Leads menu, choose a lead from the list. Select the Sort Up or Sort Down key to move the lead up or down in the list. 2 140 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Understanding the ST Display Your monitor screen may be configured to look slightly different from the illustrations. ST numerics 1 2 Current HR alarm limits 3 Current heart rate ST Numerics Up to 12 ST numerics plus the ST index can be displayed on the monitor screen. They can be configured to show beside the measurement numerics, beside the ECG wave, or beside the ST snippet. A positive ST value indicates ST segment elevation; a negative value indicates depression. ST numerics are displayed in the order in which you select ST leads for analysis. If there is additional space in the field assigned to ST numerics, the monitor will display extra numerics in the order in which they appear in the list in Setup ST Leads, in the Setup ST Analysis menu. Any ST leads switched on for analysis that do not fit in the assigned numerics field are shown in succession in place of the last ST numeric. ST Index The ST index numeric (STindx) is the sum of the absolute values for the ST leads V2, V5, aVF. Because it is based on absolute values, it is always a positive number. If you haven't selected one of the leads V2, V5, and aVF for ST analysis, the ST index numeric will display a question mark "?". To switch the ST index numeric on or off for display, in the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST-Index to toggle between On and Off. ST Snippets ST snippets show a one second wave segment for each measured ST lead. The most recent snippet is drawn in the same color as the ECG wave, usually green, superimposed over the stored baseline snippet, drawn in a different color. The comparison shows any deviation in the measurement since the baseline snippet was stored, for example as a result of a procedure carried out on the patient.The information is updated once per minute. If you do not see ST snippets on the Screen, select the Screen name in the Monitor Info Line and select a Screen configured to show snippets from the pop-up list of available Screens. ST Baseline Window The ST Baseline Window shows an ST snippet drawn on a grid. The current ST numeric and the ST numeric stored with the baseline are shown, as well as the difference between these two numerics. A "?" in front of the difference numeric indicates that the ST measurement points were adjusted since the baseline snippet was stored. The Baseline Window opens with the ST pop-up keys Update Baseline, Record ST, Change ST Lead, Adjust ST Points, ST Map and arrow keys for scrolling through the available leads. To view the ST Baseline window, select any snippet on the Screen. 141 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ST label and numeric 1 2 Baseline ST numeric 3 Difference between current values and baseline values 4 5 Current snippet 6 7 Timestamp of most recently stored baseline snippet 1 mV calibration bar ST baseline Updating ST Baseline Snippets ST analysis requires valid samples to measure and store a snippet. ST Snippets and ST values are updated every minute. If there is artifact in the signal, it may take longer for an ST snippet and an ST value to appear. The first baseline is stored automatically after ST monitoring is started, or when a new patient is admitted. To update ST baselines, 1 Select an ST snippet to open the ST Baseline window. In the ST Baseline window, select Update Baseline to store all current snippets as baselines. This deletes all previously-stored baselines. 2 An ST baseline copy is also stored in the MMS, for transport purposes. Recording ST Segments To record all currently available ST snippets and baselines, in the ST Baseline window, select the pop-
up key Record ST. 142 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring About the ST Measurement Points The ST value for each beat complex is the vertical difference between the ISO point and the ST point, as shown in the diagram below. The isoelectric (ISO) point provides the baseline, the ST point is at the midpoint of the ST segment. The J point is where the QRS complex changes its slope; as it is a fixed distance away from the ST point, it can be useful to help you position the ST point correctly. J point, for example, 48 msec 1 R-wave peak at 0 msec 2 3 Difference = ST value 4 ST measurement point, for example, J + 60 msec Isoelectric point set to -80 msec 5 P 6 7 Q S 8 9 T CAUTION The ST measurement points need to be adjusted when you start monitoring, and if the patient's heart rate or ECG morphology changes significantly, as this may affect the size of the QT interval and thus the placement of the ST point. Artifactual ST segment depression or elevation may occur if the isoelectric point or the ST point is incorrectly set. Always ensure that ST measurement points are appropriate for your patient. Adjusting ST Measurement Points Depending on your monitor's configuration, the ST point can be positioned either relative to the J-point. In the Adjust ST Points window, the pop-up keys ISO Point, J Point and ST Point are visible and can be adjusted. or directly by selecting a numeric value for the ST point. In the Adjust ST Points window, you can adjust the ISO and ST point. The ST Uses setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. To adjust the ST measurement points, 1 In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select Adjust ST Points to open the Adjust ST Points window. Alternatively, you can use the Adjust ST Points pop-up key in the ST Baseline window. Select a suitable ECG lead for ST measurement, with a visible J-point and a visible P wave. Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the ST snippets for the other ECG leads. 2 143 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring 3 Use the Select Point pop-up key to scroll through the points and activate the point you need to adjust, then use the left and right arrow keys to move the measurement point. Each point is highlighted while active. 1 ST label and the ST numeric that would apply using the current points 2 1mV calibration bar 3 Cursors for adjusting ST points 4 Timestamp of most recent ST point adjustment 5 Highlighted ST point The ISO-point cursor (1) positions the isoelectric point relative to the R-wave peak. The relation is shown beside the ISO-point in milliseconds. Position the ISO-point in the middle of the flattest part of the baseline (between the P and Q waves or in front of the P wave). The J-point cursor (2) positions the J-point relative to the R-wave peak. It helps you to correctly position the ST-point. Position the J-point at the end of the QRS complex and the beginning of the ST segment. The J-point cursor is not available if your monitor is configured to let you set the ST point directly. 144 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring To position the ST-point (3) relative to the J-point:
select either J+60 or J+80. Select J Point and use the arrow keys to move the J-Point and position the ST-point at the midpoint of the ST segment. To position the ST-point directly:
select ST Point and use the left and right arrow keys to position the ST point at the midpoint of the ST segment. Select the Apply Changes pop-up key to activate the new ST measurement points and recalculate all ST values. The most recent ST Points adjustment time is displayed in the Adjust ST Points window. This information is cleared when a patient is discharged or when a new Profile is loaded into the monitor. 4 5 To update the ST snippet shown in the Adjust ST Points window, select the Update pop-up key. ST Alarms ST alarms are yellow alarms. Each ST lead has its own alarm limit. ST alarms are triggered when an ST value exceeds its alarm limit for more than one minute. Switching ST alarms off switches off alarms for all ST leads. If more than one ST measurement is in alarm, the monitor only displays the alarm message of the ST lead which is currently furthest from its set alarm limits. Single- or Multi-lead ST Alarming Be aware that if multi-lead ST alarming is switched on, only alarms involving more than one ST lead will be announced. To choose individual or multi-lead ST alarming, In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Alarm Mode and select either Single ST or Multi ST. Changing ST Alarm Limits The monitor can detect alarms on each ST lead separately, so you can set high and low ST alarm limits individually for each ST lead. You can also set separate alarm limits for single-lead and multi-lead ST monitoring. Set the high and low alarm limits based on your assessment of the patient's clinical condition, unit protocols, physician orders or medication specified limits. A good guideline is + 1.0 mm or - 1.0 mm from the patients's ST, or follow your hospital protocol. 1 In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Alarm Mode and select Single ST or Multi ST. Select the alarm to be adjusted. Select the appropriate setting. 2 3 145 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Viewing ST Maps The monitor can derive a multi-axis portrait (map) from the ST analysis to help you detect changes in ST values. It displays two planes obtained from a multilead ECG in a multi-axis diagram, where each axis represents a lead. The ST value at the J point is given. The position of the axes within the diagram correspond to the placement of the ECG leads. Each ST value is assigned to either a limb lead, or to a chest lead. Every axis shows the polarity of the lead it represents. By joining adjacent ST values, the monitor obtains the ST map. The contour line, and the map shading, is shown in the same color as the ECG parameter. Current View In current view, the monitor displays an ST map that corresponds to the current ST values. Three or more leads per plane are necessary to display a map. The left of the following diagram shows leads I, II, III, aVR, aVL, and aVF on the limb leads. On the right, the V-leads (V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6) are on the chest leads. 1 Alarm status indicator 2 3 4 5 EASI Limb Leads EASI Chest Leads ST index (for EASI) ST label, value and polarity of corresponding lead ST map 6 If an ST lead is switched off, its axis is not shown in the map. 146 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring If a lead is in INOP (the value is being measured but is invalid or unavailable because, for example, the corresponding ECG electrode is off), the area formed by the remaining ST leads is left open. If there is insufficient information (for example, there are less than three chest leads) for a second ST map to be displayed, the currently available ST values are displayed in place of the second ST map. Trend View In trend view, you can see up to four trended ST maps, and the current ST map, simultaneously. You can configure the time interval between trended samples. The most recent map is shown in the same color as the parameter itself. Past values change from white through dark gray. In the diagram below, the time interval between trends is 12 seconds. The first trended sample is white and is 12 seconds old. The second trended sample corresponds to the ST values 24 seconds ago and so forth. The ST values on the diagrams show the current ST values. If a lead is turned off, its axis is no longer shown. This has no impact on the presentation of trended values that were recorded while the lead was still on. In the diagram below, lead V4 was switched off 20 seconds ago. The current ST values and the first trended value reflect this change in the lead setup. All other maps are displayed the way in which they were recorded. Limb Leads 1 2 Chest Leads 3 current ST values trending interval 4 147 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring In this diagram, V4 was either temporarily switched off, or in INOP, for around 30 seconds. No data was recorded. Consequently, the affected maps are not closed. Viewing an ST Map To display an ST map, In the Main Setup menu, select ST Map. Working in the ST Map Task Window You may need to activate the ST map task window to see all the data, and to access the pop-up keys. Select the map view on screen to activate its task window. Once you activate it, you can perform the tasks detailed here. Switching Between ST Map Views Select Current View or Trend View to toggle between views. To switch between views, If your trend view is empty, you need to adjust the priority of this measurement in the trending priority list. See Trend Priority on page 276. Displaying an ST Reference Baseline You can display an ST reference baseline for the current view, or for the trended view. The baseline is shown in yellow. However, if the ECG color is yellow, the baseline is shown in green. Use this baseline to detect ST changes. The baseline is derived automatically whenever the monitor relearns arrhythmia and also on user request. Select Show Baseline/Hide Baseline to toggle between baseline display on and off. Updating an ST Map Reference Baseline To update the baseline, In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Baseline then select Update Baseline. Changing the Scale of the ST Map To change scale, Select Size Up or Size Down to alter the size at which monitor displays the map. 148 Changing the Trending Interval 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring To determine how frequently the monitor displays a trended sample, 1 In Trend view, select Select Interval. Select the required interval from the menu. The interval ranges between 12 seconds to 30 minutes. 2 Printing an ST Map Report To print the most recently viewed (current or trend) window, 1 Select Main Setup then select Reports. Select ST Map. Press Print. 2 3 About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring The QT interval is defined as the time between the beginning of the Q-wave and the end of the T-
wave. It measures the total duration of the depolarization (QRS duration) and repolarization (ST-T) phases of the ventricular action potential. QT interval monitoring can assist in the detection of prolonged QT interval syndrome. The QT interval (1) has an inverse relationship to heart rate. Faster heart rates shorten the QT interval and slower heart rates prolong the QT interval. Therefore there are several formulas used to correct the QT interval for heart rate. The heart rate corrected QT interval is abbreviated as QTc. The monitor uses as a default the Bazett correction formula and the alternative Fridericia formula can be selected in Configuration Mode. For QT interval monitoring to be effective, basic or enhanced arrhythmia monitoring should be turned on. QT Measurement Algorithm The QT values are updated every five minutes except in the initial phase (first five minutes) where they are updated once per minute. Normal or atrial paced beats and beats with a similar morphology are averaged to form a representative waveform for further processing. Normal beats followed by a premature QRS will be excluded from the measurements to prevent the premature beat from obscuring the end of the T-wave. If the algorithm cannot form a representative waveform, for example because the morphology of the beats is too varied, a CANNOT ANALYZE QT INOP will be generated after 10 minutes. This is also the case if normal beats have been falsely labeled so that the algorithm does not have enough valid beats to make QT measurements. No QT value is calculated if the QT-HR is >150 bpm (Adult) or >180 bpm (Pedi/Neo). 149 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Because of the different algorithm approaches, a QT/QTc measurement from a diagnostic 12-lead program may differ from the realtime measurement on the monitor. Where Can I Find More Information?
See the Application Note on QT/QTc Interval Monitoring and the QT Interval Monitoring Quick Guide supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the QT algorithm and performance. Indications For Use Of QT Interval Monitoring Of special concern for QT monitoring is the administration of QT prolonging drugs to patients identified with risk factors for Torsade de Pointe. Females, older patients and patients with bradycardia, impaired left ventricular function (ischemia, left ventricular hypertrophy), hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia are in this increased risk category. Limitations For Use Of QT Interval Monitoring the T-wave is very flat T-waves are not well defined due to atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation the end of the T-wave is difficult to define because of the presence of U-waves a high heart rate causes the P-wave to encroach on the end of the previous T-wave noise or high QRS morphology variation Some conditions may make it difficult to achieve reliable QT monitoring, for example:
For these cases you should select a lead with a good T-wave amplitude and no visible flutter activity, and without a predominant U-wave or P-wave. Some conditions such as left or right bundle branch block or hypertrophy can lead to a widened QRS complex. If a long QTc is observed you should verify it to ensure that it is not caused by QRS widening. Because normal beats followed by ventricular beats are not included in the analysis, no QT measurement will be generated in the presence of a bigeminy rhythm. If the heart rate is extremely high (over 150 bpm for adults and over 180 bpm for pediatrics and neonates) QT will not be measured. When the heart rate changes, it can take several minutes for the QT interval to stabilize. For reliable QTc calculation it is important to avoid a region where the heart rate is changing. WARNING QT/QTc measurements should always be verified by a qualified clinician. Selecting The QT Leads For QT Monitoring you can select one of the following three modes:
All Leads mode - all available leads (I, II, III, V, MCL, V1 - V6) are used to produce a global QT measurement. For EASI lead placement, directly acquired AI, AS and ES leads are used. Primary-Lead mode - the primary lead will be used for QT measurement. If the original primary lead becomes unavailable or is changed, QT measurement will continue with the new primary lead. 150 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Single-Lead mode - a single lead selected from all available leads (except the augmented leads) will be used for QT measurement. QT measurement will stop if the selected lead becomes unavailable. To select the mode, 1 Select the QT numeric to enter the Setup QT Analysis window. Select QT Lead and select All, Primary Lead or one of the available single leads. 2 When using the All Leads mode, make sure when you compare QT values that they are based on the same set of leads. Changing the lead(s) used for QT measurements will not cause the baseline to be reset. QT View In the QT View window you can verify that the QT algorithm detects correct Q and T points. The current waves are shown in the upper half of the window and the baseline waves in a different color below. The Q and T points are marked with a vertical line. By selecting one of the lead labels at the top of the window you can highlight the corresponding wave; the other waves are shown in gray. The underlined lead labels are the leads used for the QT calculation. By selecting the numeric area you can highlight all underlined leads. Changing The View To A Single Wave Set To view one set of waves in a larger scale, you can cycle through the different views, 1 Select Current view to see the set of current waves. Select Baseline view to see the set of baseline waves. Select Split view to return to the combined view with current and baseline waves. 2 3 Setting The QT Baseline In order to quantify changes in the QTc value, you can set a QTc baseline. For example to assess the effect of medication on the QT interval you can set the current value as the baseline before you begin medication. This baseline will then be used to calculate the QTc value. 151 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Select Set Baseline and set the value. To set the baseline, If no baseline has been set for this patient, the first five minute value after the start of monitoring is automatically set as baseline. If you set a new baseline the previous baseline is discarded. As the QTc alarm is based on the difference between the baseline and the current value, setting an inappropriate new baseline may prevent a QTc alarm from being generated. Discharging a patient clears the baseline. Printing The QT Waves To start a printout, Select Print QT. Recording The QT Waves To start a recording, Select Record QT. QT Alarms There are two QT alarms, QTc high limit alarm and QTc high alarm. The QTc high limit alarm is generated when the QTc value exceeds the set limit for more than 5 minutes. The QTc alarm is generated when the difference between the current value and the baseline value exceeds the set limit for more than 5 minutes. The CANNOT ANALYZE QT INOP and the -?- will be displayed when no QT measurement could be calculated for 10 minutes. Up to this time the previous valid value will be displayed. The following additional messages on the cause of the invalid measurements may also be displayed. Additional Message QT Startup Asystole or Leads Off Insufficient Valid Leads Invalid Rhythm for QTc High QT-HR Small R Wave Small T Wave Cause of Invalid QT Measurement QT monitoring was just turned on or has been reset 1 Not all specified leads needed to perform QT analysis are available, or 2 Asystole condition is detected Not enough valid QRS complexes to generate a QT measurement Not enough valid RR intervals to generate QT-HR, the averaged HR used for QTc calculation QT-HR exceeds the specified upper limit of 150 bpm (for adults) or 180 bpm (for neonates and pediatrics) R-wave of the signal is too small T-wave of the signal is too small 152 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Additional Message End of T not Detected QT out of Range QTc out of Range QTc Erratic Cause of Invalid QT Measurement End of the T-Wave cannot be accurately detected QT measurement is outside the specified range of valid QT values

(200-800 msec) QTc measurements are not stable Switching Individual QTc Alarms On and Off Each QTc alarm can be switched off individually. To switch an alarm on or off, in the Setup QT Analysis menu, select QTc High Alarm or QTc High Alarm to toggle between On and Off. Changing QTc Alarm Limits Set the high alarm limits based on your assessment of the patient's clinical condition, unit protocols, physician orders or medication specified limits. 1 In the Setup QT Analysis menu, select QTc High Limit. Select the appropriate setting. Select QTc High Limit. Select the appropriate setting. 2 3 4 Switching QT Monitoring On and Off To switch all QT monitoring on or off, in the Setup QT Analysis menu, select QT Analysis to switch between On and Off. 153 5 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring 154 6 6Monitoring Pulse Rate The pulse numeric counts the arterial pulsations that result from the mechanical activity of the heart in beats per minute (bpm). You can display a pulse from any measured SpO2 signal (pleth wave), or any arterial pressure (P, ABP, ART, Ao, PAP, UAP, FAP, BAP: see the Monitoring Invasive Pressure chapter for an explanation of the pressure labels). The displayed pulse numeric is labeled and color-
coded to match its source wave. If the pulse numeric is not displayed, see the Setup Pulse menu to check whether it is switched on. Entering the Setup Pulse Menu If a pulse numeric is displayed on the screen, select it to enter the setup menu for that pulse source. If no pulse numeric is visible, in the Setup SpO menu or the setup menu from an arterial pressure, select pulse with the correct source, e.g. Pulse (HR). System Pulse Source is monitored as system pulse and generates alarms when you select pulse as the active alarm source is sent via the network to the Information Center, if available is trended in the HighRes Trends and stored in the monitor's databases. The currently selected system pulse source is shown in the setup menus of the pulse source measurements. The pulse rate chosen as system pulse:
To define which pulse rate is used as system pulse, In the Setup Pulse menu, select System Pulse. 1 Select one of the SpO2 or arterial pressure labels from the pop-up list, or select Auto. If you select Auto, the monitor automatically chooses a pulse rate to be used as system pulse. It looks through the list from top to bottom and activates the first pulse rate that is switched on and available. 2 If your selected pulse source measurement becomes unavailable or is switched off, the monitor will use the next measurement from the list as system pulse until the selected pulse source measurement becomes available again. 155 6 Monitoring Pulse Rate Switching Pulse On and Off To switch a particular pulse numeric on or off, enter the Setup Pulse menu via the measurement setup menu or wave menu of the pulse source. For example, to switch an SpO2 pulse numeric on or off, 1 Enter the Setup Pulse menu by selecting the Pulse numeric or by selecting Pulse in the Setup SpO menu. In the Setup Pulse menu, select the correct pulse label, e.g. Pulse (SpO), to toggle between On and Off. 2 Using Pulse Alarms You can change pulse rate alarm limits in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu which can be accessed from the Setup Pulse menu or the Setup ECG menu by selecting Alarm Source. Changing the alarm limits for a specific Pulse numeric changes the alarm limits for all pulse rate alarms and heart rate alarms. Pulse alarms are only generated when the active alarm source is set to Pulse, a pulse source is set as system pulse and pulse alarms are switched on. Selecting the Active Alarm Source: ECG or Pulse?
In most cases the HR and Pulse numerics are identical. In order to avoid simultaneous alarms on HR and Pulse, the monitor uses either ECG or Pulse as its active alarm source. To change the alarm source, select Alarm Source in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu, then select ECG/Arrhythm: if you want the HR to be the alarm source for HR/Pulse. Pulse: If you select Pulse as the active alarm source, the monitor will prompt you to confirm your choice. Be aware that if you select Pulse as the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched off. Auto: If the alarm source is set to Auto, the monitor will use the heart rate from the ECG measurement as the alarm source whenever the ECG measurement is switched on and at least one ECG lead can be measured without an INOP condition. The monitor will automatically switch to Pulse as the alarm source if:
a valid ECG lead can no longer be measured and a Pulse source is switched on and available, The monitor then uses the pulse rate from the measurement currently active as system pulse. While Pulse is the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched off. If an ECG lead becomes available again, the monitor automatically uses HR as alarm source. Note:
If ECG is switched off, the monitor will always change to Pulse as alarm source, if a Pulse is available. One exception to this rule can arise when you have a telemetry device paired with your monitor. The monitor ECG is then deactivated but the monitor may be configured to allow only ECG as the active alarm source. In this case the monitor will not switch to Pulse as alarm source and Pulse will not be available as a selection in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu. 156 6 Monitoring Pulse Rate WARNING Selecting Pulse as the active alarm source for HR/Pulse switches off the arrhythmia alarms listed in the section ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview on page 126, including Asystole, Vfib and Vtach alarms, and the heart rate alarms. This is indicated by the message ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF (unless this has been configured off for your monitor), and the crossed-out alarm symbol beside the ECG heart rate numeric. The message ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF can be configured off, or to switch to a yellow
(medium severity) INOP after a fixed number of hours. High and low pulse rate and extreme bradycardia and extreme tachycardia alarms from pulse are active. Alarm Source Selection Disabled If you cannot change the alarm source, selection of the alarm source may be disabled. If you try to change the source, the monitor displays the message To activate enter Config and enable Alarm Source Selection. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. Changing HR/Pulse Alarm Limits As Pulse and HR share the same high and low alarm limits, if you change the alarm limit in the Setup Pulse menu, the high or low alarm limits for HR in the Setup ECG menu change automatically, and vice versa. The only exceptions are caused by a low limit clamp for each measurement: the lowest value for Pulse when derived from SpO2 is 30 bpm; from HR 15 bpm, and from Pressure 25 bpm. Extreme Alarm Limits for Heart Rate The extreme rate alarms, *** EXTREME TACHY and *** EXTREME BRADY, generated by the active alarm source, either HR or Pulse, are set in Configuration Mode by adding a set value to the high and low alarm limits. You need to know what value has been configured for your monitor. Changing the high and low alarm limits automatically changes the extreme alarm limits within the allowed range. To see the values added to the high and low limit alarms to create the extreme rate alarms for your monitor, in the Setup ECG menu, see the menu items ExtrTachy and ExtrBrady. QRS Tone The active alarm source is also used as a source for the QRS tone. You can change the tone volume in the Setup SpO and Setup ECG menus and the QRS tone modulation in the Setup SpO menu. WARNING The audible QRS tone might be influenced by external interference and is not intended to be used as a substitute for ECG based arrhythmia analysis. If arrhythmia detection is needed, do not rely on the audible QRS tone. 157 6 Monitoring Pulse Rate 158 7 7Monitoring Respiration Rate
(Resp) For the respiratory measurement (Resp), the monitor measures the thoracic impedance between two ECG electrodes on the patient's chest. Changes in the impedance due to thoracic movement produce the Resp waveform on the monitor screen. The monitor counts the waveform cycles to calculate the respiration rate (RR). Lead Placement for Monitoring Resp Correct patient skin preparation techniques for electrode placement are important for Resp measurement: you will find this information in the chapter on ECG. The Resp measurement uses the standard ECG cable sets and lead placements. You can use any of the different types of ECG cable sets - 3-lead, 5-lead, 6-lead or 10-lead, using either standard or EASI placement - to measure Resp, as long as you use ICU ECG cables. The Resp signal is always measured between two of the ECG electrodes. If you are using standard ECG electrode placement, Resp is measured between the RA and LL electrodes. If you are using EASI ECG electrode placement, Resp is measured between the I and A electrodes. Optimizing Lead Placement for Resp If you want to measure Resp and you are already measuring ECG, you may need to optimize placement of the two electrodes between which Resp will be measured for some patients. Repositioning ECG electrodes from standard positions, especially when you are using EASI ECG electrode placement, results in changes in the ECG waveform and may influence ST and arrhythmia interpretation. Cardiac Overlay 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 electrode placement can help to reduce cardiac overlay: avoid the liver area and the ventricles of the heart in the line between the respiratory electrodes. This is particularly important for neonates. 159 7 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Lateral Chest Expansion Some patients, especially neonates, expand their chests laterally. In these cases it is best to place the two respiratory electrodes in the right midaxillary and left lateral chest areas at the patient's maximum point of breathing movement to optimize the respiratory wave. Abdominal Breathing Some patients with restricted chest movement breathe mainly abdominally. In these cases, you may need to place the left leg electrode on the left abdomen at the point of maximum abdominal expansion to optimize the respiratory wave. Understanding the Resp Display The Resp measurement is displayed on the monitor as a continuous wave and a numeric respiration rate. If the detected respiration rate is close to the heart rate, this is indicated by the text HR = RR next to the respiration wave if you are in manual monitoring mode. Your monitor screen may look slightly different from the illustration. 1 Resp wave label 2 One Ohm calibration bar 3 Manually-set Resp detection level 4 Resp numeric and label Changing Resp Detection Modes The Resp detection level can be set either automatically or manually. To change the resp detection mode, in the Setup Resp menu, select Detection to toggle between the settings. Auto Detection Mode In Auto Detection Mode, the monitor adjusts the detection level automatically, depending on the wave height and the presence of cardiac artifact. Note that in Auto Detection Mode, 160 7 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) the detection level (a dotted line) is not displayed on the waveform, the algorithm expects a heart rate and therefore needs at least 3 electrodes attached to the patient. If you are monitoring respiration with only two electrodes, the detection algorithm becomes less sensitive which may result in reduced breath detection performance. Use Auto Detection Mode for situations where:
the respiration rate is not close to the heart rate breathing is spontaneous, with or without continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) patients are ventilated, except patients with Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (IMV). Manual Detection Mode In Manual Detection Mode you must set the Resp detection level. In the Setup Resp menu, select Manual Up or Manual Down. Use the dotted detection level line in the Resp waveform to determine when the desired level is reached. Once set, the detection level will not adapt automatically to different respiration depths. It is important to remember that if the depth of breathing changes, you may need to change the detection level. Use Manual Detection Mode for situations where:
the respiration rate and the heart rate are close. patients have Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation. respiration is weak. Try repositioning the electrodes to improve the signal. Resp Detection Modes and Cardiac Overlay In Auto Detection Mode:
If you are monitoring Resp and the ECG is switched off, the monitor cannot compare the ECG and Resp rates to detect cardiac overlay. The respiration detection level is automatically set higher to prevent the detection of cardiac overlay as respiration. In Manual Detection Mode:
Cardiac overlay can in certain situations trigger the respiration counter. This may lead to a false indication of a high respiration rate or an undetected apnea condition. If you suspect that cardiac overlay is being registered as breathing activity, raise the detection level above the zone of cardiac overlay. If the Resp wave is so small that raising the detection level is not possible, you may need to optimize the electrode placement as described in the section Lateral Chest Expansion on page 160. Changing the Size of the Respiration Wave 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 Setup Resp menu, select Size Up to increase the size of the wave or Size Down to decrease it. 161 7 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Changing the Speed of the Respiration Wave Resp waveforms are usually viewed at a slower speed than other waveforms. For this reason, the Resp measurement has its own speed control and is not affected by the wave speed settings of the other measurements. Select the Resp wave to enter the Resp Wave menu, then select Change Speed. Choose the required speed from the pop-up list. This defines the speed at which the wave is drawn across the screen in millimeters per second (mm/s). Using Resp Alarms Resp alarms can be switched on and off and the high and low alarm limits can be changed just like other measurement alarms, as described in the Alarms chapter. Changing the Apnea Alarm Delay The apnea alarm is a high priority red alarm used to detect apneas. The apnea alarm delay time defines the time period between the point where the monitor cannot detect any respiration activity and the indication of the apnea alarm. 1 In the Setup Resp menu, select Apnea Time. Select the appropriate setting. 2 Resp Safety Information WARNING Respiration detection level If you do not set the detection level for the respiration correctly in manual detection mode, it may not be possible for the monitor to detect apnea. If you set the detection level too low, the monitor is more likely to detect cardiac activity, and to falsely interpret cardiac activity as respiratory activity in the case of apnea. Apnea The respiration measurement does not recognize obstructive and mixed apneas - it only indicates an alarm when a pre-adjusted time has elapsed since the last detected breath. The safety and effectiveness of the respiration measurement method in the detection of apnea, particularly the apnea of prematurity and apnea of infancy, has not been established. Interference If operating under conditions according to the EMC Standard EN 60601-1-2 (Radiated Immunity 3V/
m), field strengths above 1V/m may cause erroneous measurements at various frequencies. Therefore it is recommended to avoid the use of electrically radiating equipment in close proximity to the respiration measurement unit. Resp Accessories 162 7 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) To monitor respiration, use only the non-OR ECG accessories listed in the Resp section of the accessories chapter. You cannot measure respiration if you are using an orange OR ECG cable set. This is because of the higher internal impedance of the OR cable set, required for use if electrosurgery is being performed. Rate adaptive pacemakers Implanted pacemakers which can adapt to the Minute Ventilation rate may occasionally react on the Impedance measurement used by patient monitors for the determination of the Resp value and execute pacing with the maximum programmed rate. Switching off the Resp measurement can prevent this. 163 7 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) 164 8 8Monitoring SpO2 Philips pulse oximetry uses a motion-tolerant signal processing algorithm, based on Fourier artifact suppression technology (FAST). It provides four measurements:
Oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO2) - percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin in relation to the sum of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin (functional arterial oxygen saturation). Pleth waveform - visual indication of patient's pulse. Pulse rate (derived from pleth wave) - detected pulsations per minute. Perfusion indicator - numerical value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by arterial pulsation. The monitors are also compatible with SpO2 technologies from other manufacturers. Please refer to the instructions for use provided with these devices for further information. SpO2 Sensors Depending on the purchased SpO2 option, different sensors and adapter cables can be used. The sensors for the different options are color-coded to match the connectors. See the Accessories chapter for a compatibility table. Familiarize yourself with the instructions for use supplied with your sensor before using it. In particular, check that the sensor being used is appropriate for your patient category and application site. CAUTION Do not use OxiCliq disposable sensors in a high humidity environment, such as in neonatal incubators or in the presence of fluids, which may contaminate sensor and electrical connections causing unreliable or intermittent measurements. Do not use disposable sensors when there is a known allergic reaction to the adhesive. Always use the MAX-FAST forehead sensor with the foam headband provided by Nellcor. Applying the Sensor Follow the SpO2 sensor's instructions for use, adhering to all warnings and cautions. 1 2 Remove colored nail polish from the application site. 165 8 Monitoring SpO2 3 Apply the sensor to the patient. The application site should match the sensor size so that the sensor can neither fall off, nor apply excessive pressure. When using the M1195A Infant Finger Sensor, select a finger or toe with a diameter of between 7 and 8 mm (0.27" and 0.31"). When applying a M1193A neonatal sensor do not overtighten the strap. 4 Check that the light emitter and the photodetector are directly opposite each other. All light from the emitter must pass through the patient's tissue. WARNING Proper Sensor Fit: If a sensor is too loose, it might compromise the optical alignment or fall off. If it is too tight, for example because the application site is too large or becomes too large due to edema, excessive pressure may be applied. This can result in venous congestion distal from the application site, leading to interstitial edema, hypoxemia and tissue malnutrition. Skin irritations or lacerations may occur as a result of the sensor being attached to one location for too long. To avoid skin irritations and lacerations, periodically inspect the sensor application site and change the application site regularly. Venous Pulsation: Do not apply sensor too tightly as this results in venous pulsation which may severely obstruct circulation and lead to inaccurate measurements. Ambient Temperature: At elevated ambient temperatures be careful with measurement sites that are not well perfused, because this can cause severe burns after prolonged application. All listed sensors operate without risk of exceeding 41C on the skin if the initial skin temperature does not exceed 35C. Extremities to Avoid: Avoid placing the sensor on extremities with an arterial catheter, an NBP cuff or an intravascular venous infusion line. Connecting SpO2 Cables Connect the sensor cable to the color-coded socket on the measurement device (MMS or module). You can connect some Philips sensors directly to the measurement device. For other sensors, use the corresponding adapter cable. CAUTION Extension cables: Do not use more than one extension cable (M1941A). Do not use an extension cable with Philips reusable sensors or adapter cables with part numbers ending in -L (indicates "long"
cable version). Electrical Interference: Position the sensor cable and connector away from power cables, to avoid electrical interference. Humidity: For neonatal patients, make sure that all sensor connectors and adapter cable connectors are outside the incubator. The humid atmosphere inside can cause inaccurate measurements. Measuring SpO2 1 Select the correct patient category setting (adult/pediatric and neonatal), as this is used to optimize the calculation of the SpO2 and pulse numerics. 166 8 Monitoring SpO2 2 During measurement, ensure that the application site:
has a pulsatile flow, ideally with a perfusion indicator value above 1.0. has not changed in its thickness (for example, due to edema), causing an improper fit of the sensor. WARNING For fully conscious pediatric or adult patients, who have a normal function of perfusion and sensory perception at the measurement site:
To ensure skin quality and correct optical alignment of the sensor, inspect the application site when the measurement results are suspicious or when the patient complains about pressure at the application site, but at least every 24 hours. Correct the sensor alignment if necessary. Move the sensor to another site, if the skin quality changes. For all other patients:
Inspect the application site every two to three hours to ensure skin quality and correct optical alignment. Correct the sensor alignment if necessary. If the skin quality changes, move the sensor to another site. Change the application site at least every four hours. Injected dyes such as methylene blue, or intravascular dyshemoglobins such as methemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin may lead to inaccurate measurements. Inaccurate measurements may result when the application site for the sensor is deeply pigmented or deeply colored, for example, with nail polish, artificial nails, dye or pigmented cream. Interference can be caused by:
High levels of ambient light (including IR warmers) or strobe lights or flashing lights (such as fire alarm lamps). (Hint: cover application site with opaque material.) Another SpO2 sensor in close proximity (e.g. when more than one SpO2 measurement is performed on the same patient). Always cover both sensors with opaque material to reduce cross-interference. Electromagnetic interference, especially at perfusion indicator values below 1.0 or signal quality indicator below medium. Excessive patient movement and vibration. SpO2 Signal Quality Indicator (Fast SpO2 only) The SpO2 numeric is displayed together with a signal quality indicator (if configured and enough space is available) which gives an indication of the reliability of the displayed values. The level to which the triangle is filled shows the quality of the signal; the indicator below shows a medium signal quality, the signal quality is at a maximum when the triangle is completely filled. 167 8 Monitoring SpO2 Assessing a Suspicious SpO2 Reading Traditionally, pulse rate from SpO2 was compared with heart rate from ECG to confirm the validity of the SpO2 reading. With newer algorithms, such as FAST-SpO2, this is no longer a valid criteria because the correct calculation of SpO2 is not directly linked to the correct detection of each pulse. When pulse rate is very low, or strong arrhythmia is present, the SpO2 pulse rate may differ from the heart rate calculated from ECG but this does not indicate an inaccurate SpO2 value. If you doubt the measured SpO2, use the signal quality indicator (if available) or the pleth wave and perfusion indicator instead to assess the signal quality. WARNING With pulse oximetry, sensor movement, ambient light (especially strobe lights or flashing lights) or electromagnetic interference can give unexpected intermittent readings when the sensor is not attached. Especially bandage-type sensor designs are sensitive to minimal sensor movement that might occur when the sensor is dangling. Changing the Averaging Time Depending on the monitor configuration, you may be able to change the averaging time for the SpO2 values. The averaging time represents the approximate time period used for the calculation. The exact averaging algorithm depends on the SpO2 technology (option) used and on the signal conditions. The longer the averaging time, the longer the time needed until the SpO2 value reflects the physiological event. Fast averaging is useful for situations where an extremely fast measurement is required or few artifacts are expected. Use slow averaging where you expect the number of artifacts to be relatively high. 1 In the Setup SpO menu, select Average. Select the required averaging time from the list. 2 Understanding SpO2 Alarms This refers to SpO2 specific alarms. See the Alarms chapter for general alarm information. SpO2 offers high and low limit alarms, and a high priority desat alarm. You cannot set the low alarm limit below the desat alarm limit. CAUTION If you measure SpO2 on a limb that has an inflated noninvasive blood pressure cuff, a non-pulsatile SpO2 INOP can occur. If the monitor is configured to suppress this alarm there may be a delay of up to 60 seconds in indicating a critical status, such as sudden pulse loss or hypoxia. 168 Alarm Delays 8 Monitoring SpO2 There is a delay between a physiological event at the measurement site and the corresponding alarm at the monitor. This delay has two components:
The general system delay time is the time between the occurrence of the physiological event and when this event is represented by the displayed numerical values. This delay depends on the algorithmic processing and the configured averaging time. The longer the averaging time configured, the longer the time needed until the numerical values reflect the physiological event. The time between the displayed numerical values crossing an alarm limit and the alarm indication on the monitor. This delay is the combination of the configured alarm delay time plus the general system alarm signal delay time. The alarm delay time can be configured to a fixed value (between 0 and 30 seconds) or the monitor can be configured to apply a delay based on an intelligent algorithm. See About Smart Alarm Delays on page 169 for details on how this works. See Performance Specifications on page 399 for delay specifications. About Smart Alarm Delays The Smart Alarm Delay functionality is currently not available in the U.S.A. or in clinical environments under FDA control. The monitor can be configured to apply a delay before announcing SpO2 limit alarms. The delay is calculated using an intelligent algorithm. This capability can be used to suppress alarms which occur because a limit is exceeded for a short time or by a small amount. WARNING Before using Smart Alarm Delays, make sure that you fully understand how the delay is applied and what the consequences are. the amount by which a limit is exceeded the time it is exceeded for, and hence the speed with which the values change when a limit is exceeded The following factors are considered when calculating the delay:
If the measured value rises, or falls, very quickly, an alarm will be announced with only a short delay. If the value changes slowly, the delay will be longer before an alarm is announced. And if the value changes slowly and only for a short time, an alarm may not be announced at all. Here are some specific examples to illustrate this. Examples In the examples, the SpO2 low alarm limit is set to 90%, and the Smart Alarm Delay is configured on. The measured SpO2 signal is represented by the dotted curve. The vertical axis (V) shows the change in the SpO2 value and the horizontal axis (T) shows the time. 169 8 Monitoring SpO2 In example 1, the SpO2 value is dropping quickly and goes below the low alarm limit at the point marked a. At the point marked b it also crosses into the shaded area which represents the Smart Alarm Delay criteria - the low limit alarm is announced. The delay between the limit being crossed and the alarm being announced, the distance between a and b, is short. In example 2, the SpO2 value is dropping more slowly and goes below the low alarm limit at the point marked c. At the point marked d it also crosses into the shaded area which represents the Smart Alarm Delay criteria - the low limit alarm is announced. The delay between the limit being crossed and the alarm being announced, the distance between c and d, is this time longer. In example 3, the SpO2 value drops slowly below the low alarm limit and after a short time increases again above the limit. As the value never crosses into the shaded area which represents the Smart Alarm Delay criteria, no alarm is announced. However, if a limit is exceeded by a small amount for a very long time, an alarm will be announced. For this case there is a maximum delay time after which an alarm will always be announced. Configuration To accommodate different levels of patient stability, there are three different Smart Alarm Delay settings: Short, Medium and Long, which correspond to three different sets of criteria (three different shaded areas). The appropriate setting for the treatment area where the monitor is to be used is decided during monitor configuration. The Short setting ensures a quick response to changing conditions for less stable patients. The Medium and Long settings extend the delay to avoid unnecessary alarms for more stable patients. For detailed numeric information about the different settings, see the SpO2 section in the Specifications chapter. For background information as a basis for the decision for a specific setting, see the Configuration Guide. Adjusting the Alarm Limits In the Setup SpO menu:
Select High Limit then choose the high alarm limit. Select Low Limit then choose the low alarm limit. 170 8 Monitoring SpO2 WARNING High oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to retrolental fibroplasia. If this is a consideration do NOT set the high alarm limit to 100%, which is equivalent to switching the high alarm off. Adjusting the Desat Limit Alarm The Desat alarm is a high priority (red) alarm notifying you of potentially life threatening drops in oxygen saturation. 1 2 Adjust the limit. In the Setup SpO menu, select Desat Limit. Pleth Wave The Pleth wave is autoscaled to maximum display size. It decreases only when the signal quality becomes marginal. It is NOT directly proportional to the pulse volume. If you need an indication of change in pulse volume, use the perfusion indicator. 1 Minimum size for reliable SpO2 value Perfusion Numeric The perfusion numeric (Perf) gives a value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by the pulsating arterial blood flow. As pulse oximetry is based on the pulsatile nature of the signal, you can also use the perfusion numeric as a quality indicator for the SpO2 measurement. Above 1 is optimal, between 0.3-1 is acceptable. Below 0.3 is marginal; reposition the sensor or find a better site. Perfusion Change Indicator The perfusion change indicator is a graphic symbol which shows the change in the perfusion value, relative to a reference value which you can set. To set the current perfusion value as the reference value:
When a reference value has been set, the perfusion change indicator is displayed next to the perfusion numeric. In the Setup SpO menu, select Set Perf Ref.. 171 8 Monitoring SpO2 Setting SpO2/Pleth as Pulse Source 1 2 In the Setup SpO menu, select Pulse (SpO) to enter the Setup Pulse menu. In the Setup Pulse menu, select System Pulseand select the correct SpO2 label from the pop-up list. Setting Up Tone Modulation If tone modulation is on, the QRS tone pitch lowers when the SpO2 level drops. Remember, the QRS tone is derived from either heart rate or pulse depending on which is currently selected as the active alarm source. In the Setup SpO menu, select Tone Modulation to switch between Yes (for on) and No (for off). Tone modulation is licensed under US patent US 4.653.498 from Nellcor Puritan Bennett Incorporated. Setting the QRS Volume In the Setup SpO menu, select QRS Volume and set the appropriate QRS tone volume. Calculating SpO2 Difference When a second SpO2 measurement is present (either through the SpO2 module or through an external device), the monitor displays both SpO2 values, and calculates the difference between them. The second value is subtracted from the first. 1 From the Main Setup menu, select Measurements. From the Setup SpOmenu, select First SpO. 2 3 Choose the first measurement source. 4 5 Choose the second measurement source. Select Second SpO. 172 9 9Monitoring NBP This monitor uses the oscillometric method for measuring NBP. In adult and pediatric mode, the blood pressure measurements determined with this device comply with the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers (ANSI/AAMI SP10-1992) in relation to mean error and standard deviation, when compared to intra-arterial or auscultatory measurements
(depending on the configuration) in a representative patient population. For the auscultatory reference, the fifth Korotkoff sound was used to determine the diastolic pressure. In neonatal mode, the blood pressure measurements determined with this device comply with the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers (ANSI/AAMI SP10-
1992) in relation to mean error and standard deviation, when compared to intra-arterial measurements in a representative patient population. The NBP measurement is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgery and during the discharge of a cardiac defibrillator according to IEC 601-2-30:1999/EN 60601-2-30:2000. A physician must determine the clinical significance of the NBP information. Introducing the Oscillometric NBP Measurement Oscillometric devices measure the amplitude of pressure changes in the occluding cuff as the cuff deflates from above systolic pressure. The amplitude suddenly increases as the pulse breaks through the occlusion in the artery. As the cuff pressure decreases further, the pulsations increase in amplitude, reach a maximum (which approximates to the mean pressure), and then diminish. Studies show that, especially in critical cases (arrhythmia, vasoconstriction, hypertension, shock), oscillometric devices are more accurate and consistent than devices using other noninvasive measuring techniques. WARNING Patient Category: Select the correct patient category setting for your patient. Do not apply the higher adult inflation, overpressure limits and measurement duration to neonatal patients. Intravenous infusion: Do not use the NBP cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion or arterial catheter in place. This could cause tissue damage around the catheter when the infusion is slowed or blocked during cuff inflation. Skin Damage: Do not measure NBP in cases of sickle-cell disease or any condition where skin damage has occurred or is expected. 173 9 Monitoring NBP Unattended measurement: Use clinical judgement to decide whether to perform frequent unattended blood pressure measurements in cases of severe blood clotting disorders because of the risk of hematoma in the limb fitted with the cuff. CAUTION If you spill liquid onto the equipment or accessories, particularly if there is a chance that it can get inside the tubing or the measurement device, contact your service personnel. Measurement Limitations Measurements are impossible with heart rate extremes of less than 40 bpm or greater than 300 bpm, or if the patient is on a heart-lung machine. The measurement may be inaccurate or impossible:
with excessive and continuous patient movement such as shivering or convulsions with cardiac arrhythmias with rapid blood pressure changes with severe shock or hypothermia that reduces blood flow to the peripheries with obesity, where a thick layer of fat surrounding a limb dampens the oscillations coming from if a regular arterial pressure pulse is hard to detect the artery on an edematous extremity. The effectiveness of this sphygmomanometer has not been established in pregnant, including pre-
eclamptic patients. Measurement Modes There are four modes for measuring NBP:
Manual - measurement on demand. Auto - continually repeated measurements (between one minute and 24 hours adjustable interval). Sequence - up to four measurement cycles which will run consecutively, with number of measurements and interval between them configurable for each cycle. STAT - rapid series of measurements over a five minute period, then the monitor returns to the previous mode. Use only on supervised patients. Reference Method The measurement reference method can be Auscultatory (manual cuff) or Invasive (intra-arterial). For further information, see the Application Note supplied on the monitor documentation DVD. In Neonatal mode, to comply with safety standards, invasive is always used as the reference method. This setting cannot be changed and is not visible in any operating mode. In Adult and Pediatric mode, to check the current setting, select Main Setup then Measurements followed by NBP, and check whether the Reference setting is set to Auscultatory or Invasive. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. 174 Preparing to Measure NBP 9 Monitoring NBP 1 Connect the cuff to the air tubing. 2 Plug the air tubing into the red NBP connector. Avoid compression or restriction of pressure tubes. Air must pass unrestricted through the tubing. 3 Make sure that you are using a Philips-approved correct sized cuff and that the bladder inside the cover is not folded or twisted. A wrong cuff size, and a folded or twisted bladder, can cause inaccurate measurements. The width of the cuff should be in the range from 37% to 47% of the limb circumference. The inflatable part of the cuff should be long enough to encircle at least 80% of the limb. 4 Apply the cuff to a limb at the same level as the heart. If it is not, you must use the measurement correction formula to correct the measurement. The marking on the cuff must match the artery location. Do not wrap the cuff too tightly around the limb. It may cause discoloration, and ischemia of the extremities. Inspect the application site regularly to ensure skin quality and inspect the extremity of the cuffed limb for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If the skin quality changes, or if the extremity circulation is being affected, move the cuff to another site or stop the blood pressure measurements immediately. Check more frequently when making automatic or stat measurements. Correcting the Measurement if Limb is not at Heart Level To correct the measurement if the limb is not at heart level, to the displayed value add 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each centimeter higher or deduct 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each centimeter lower or add 1.9 mmHg (0.25 kPa) for each inch higher. deduct 1.9 mmHg (0.25 kPa) for each inch lower. Understanding the NBP Numerics 1 Alarm source 2 Measurement Mode 3 Timestamp/Timer 4 Mean pressure 5 Diastolic Systolic 6 7 Alarm limits Depending on the NBP numeric size, not all elements may be visible. Your monitor may be configured to display only the systolic and diastolic values. 175 9 Monitoring NBP The measured NBP value, together with the corresponding pulse rate if this is switched on, will be displayed for one hour. After that the values are regarded as invalid and are no longer displayed. In Auto mode the measurement values may disappear more quickly (to be replaced by new measurement values), if the repeat time is set to less than one hour. Alarm Sources If you have parallel alarm sources, the sources are displayed instead of the alarm limits. NBP Timestamp Depending on your configuration, the time shown beside the NBP numeric can be:
the time of the most recent NBP measurement, also known as the "timestamp", or the time until the next measurement in an automatic series, displayed with a graphic representation of the remaining time, as shown here. The NBP timestamp will normally show the completion time of the NBP measurement. Only under the following conditions the timestamp shows the beginning of the measurement:
when in Auto or Sequence mode, and the monitor is configured to synchronize the measurements in a measurement series to an "easy-
to-document" time. For example, if you start the first measurement at 08:23, and the Repeat Time is set to 10 minutes, the monitor automatically performs the next measurement at 8:30, then 8:40 and so on. During Measurements The cuff pressure is displayed instead of the units and the repeat time. An early systolic value gives you a preliminary indication of the systolic blood pressure during measurement. Starting and Stopping Measurements Use the Setup menu, SmartKeys or the MMS hardkey to start and stop measurements. 176 9 Monitoring NBP Action to be performed Start manual measurement Start Auto series NBP Setup menu Start/Stop SmartKeys MMS hardkey Start/Stop Start/ Stop

Enabling Automatic Mode and Setting Repetition Time 1 2 In the Setup NBP menu, select Mode and select Auto from the pop-up menu. For an automatic measurement, select Repeat Time and set the time interval between two measurements. Enabling Sequence Mode and Setting Up The Sequence 1 2 3 In the Setup NBP menu, select Mode and select Sequence from the pop-up menu. Select Setup Sequence to open the Setup Sequence window. Up to four measurement cycles can be setup which will run consecutively. For each cycle you can set the number of measurements and the interval between them. If you want to run less than four cycles in a sequence, you can set the number of measurements for one or more cycles to Off. Select each sequence in turn and select the number of measurements and the time interval between the measurements. 4 To have measurements continue after the sequence, set the number of measurements for your last cycle to Continuous and this cycle will run indefinitely. CAUTION Be aware that, if none of the cycles are set to Continuous, NBP monitoring will end after the last measurement of the cycle. When the NBP measurement mode is set to Sequence, the repetition time for Auto mode cannot be changed. Choosing the NBP Alarm Source You can monitor for alarm conditions in systolic, diastolic and mean pressure, either singly or in parallel. Only one alarm is given, with the priority of mean, systolic, diastolic. In the Setup NBP menu, select Alarms from and choose from:
178 9 Monitoring NBP Menu option Sys. Dia. Mean Sys & Dia Dia & Mean Sys & Mean Sys&Dia&Mean Pressure value monitored systolic diastolic mean systolic and diastolic in parallel diastolic and mean in parallel systolic and mean in parallel all three pressures in parallel If Mean is not selected as alarm source (Sys., Dia., or Sys & Dia selected), but the monitor can only derive a mean value, mean alarms will nevertheless be announced using the most recent mean alarm limits. Check that the mean alarm limits are appropriate for the patient, even when not using mean as the alarm source. When no value can be derived an NBP MEASURE FAILED INOP will be displayed. Switching Pulse from NBP On/Off In the process of making the NBP measurement, a pulse value can be derived and displayed. The pulse value is displayed together with the time the measurement was made. After one hour the value becomes invalid. There are no alarms associated with pulse from NBP. To switch the display of the pulse value on or off:
In the Setup NBP menu select Pulse (NBP). Assisting Venous Puncture You can use the NBP cuff to cause sub-diastolic pressure. The cuff deflates automatically after a set time (adult/pediatric 170 seconds, neonatal 85 seconds) if you do not deflate it. 1 In the Setup NBP menu select VeniPuncture. Puncture vein and draw blood sample. 2 3 Reselect VeniPuncture to deflate the cuff. During measurement, the NBP display shows the inflation pressure of the cuff and the remaining time in venous puncture mode. NOTE Performing a venous puncture while automatic or sequence NBP measurements are being made suspends the measurement series for the duration of the venous puncture inflation and for three minutes afterwards. Calibrating NBP NBP is not user-calibrated. Cuff-pressure transducers must be verified at least once every two years by a qualified service professional, and calibrated, if necessary. See the Service Guide for details. 179 9 Monitoring NBP 180 10 10Monitoring Temperature WARNING Measurements from an MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on its own battery power. They are only available when the X2 is powered by external power: when connected to a host monitor, to the external power supply (M8023A) or to the Battery Extension
(865297). You can measure temperature using an X1 or X2 Multi-Measurement Module (MMS), one of the MMS extensions, or the temperature plug-in module. Temp measurement automatically switches on when you connect a probe. You can switch the measurement off manually. Making a Temp Measurement 1 2 Select the correct type and size of probe for your patient. If you are using a disposable probe, connect the probe to the temperature cable. Plug the probe or temperature cable into the temperature connector socket. 3 4 Apply the probe to the patient. You are advised to use a protective rubber cover on rectal probes. 5 6 Check that the alarm settings (on or off, high and low limits) are appropriate for this patient and Select an appropriate temperature label. this type of temperature measurement. WARNING Make sure you set alarm limits for the correct label. The alarm limits you set are stored for that particular label only. Changing the label may change the alarm limits. Selecting a Temperature for Monitoring Tell the monitor which temperature you want to monitor by selecting its temperature label. The label is a unique identifier for each type of temperature. When you choose a label, the monitor uses that label's stored color and alarm settings. 1 In the Setup <Temp Label> menu, select Label. 181 10 Monitoring Temperature 2 Select the appropriate label from the list.

The difference is labeled TEMP. 1 In the Main Setup menu, select Measurements. In the Setup Temp menu, select First Temp. Label the measurement source as appropriate. Select Second Temp. Label the measurement source as appropriate. 2 3 4 5 182 11 11Monitoring Invasive Pressure WARNING Measurements from an MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on its own battery power. They are only available when the X2 is powered by external power: when connected to a host monitor, to the external power supply (M8023A) or to the Battery Extension
(865297). CAUTION Do not use the X2 in combination with monitors using an M1006A pressure module and the HP1290A pressure transducer. This may cause interference on the respiration or invasive pressure signals. You can measure pressure using an X1 or X2 Multi-Measurement Module (MMS), one of the MMS extensions or the pressure plug-in module. With the plug-in module you may see a wave channel before the pressure cable is plugged in - with the MMS this will not be the case. Setting up the Pressure Measurement 1 2 3 Plug in the pressure cable. Prepare the flush solution. Flush the system to exhaust all air from the tubing. Ensure that the transducer and stopcocks are free of air bubbles. WARNING If air bubbles appear in the tubing system, flush the system with the infusion solution again. Air bubbles may lead to a wrong pressure reading. 1 Connect the pressure line to the patient catheter. 2 If you are using an infusion pressure cuff with the pressure line, attach the pressure cuff to the fluid to be infused. Inflate it according to your standard hospital procedure, then start the infusion. Position the transducer so that it is level with the heart, approximately at the level of the midaxillary line. 3 183 11 Monitoring Invasive Pressure WARNING If measuring intracranial pressure (ICP, IC1 or IC2) with a sitting patient, level the transducer with the top of the patient's ear. Incorrect leveling may give incorrect values. Selecting a Pressure for Monitoring Tell the monitor which pressure you want to monitor by selecting its pressure label. The label is a unique identifier for each type of pressure. When you choose a label, the monitor uses that label's stored settings, for example color, wave scale and alarm settings. The label also determines which algorithm is used to process the pressure signal, so an incorrect label can lead to incorrect pressure values. 1 In the Setup <Press Label> menu, select Label.

See the Configuration Guide for your monitor for more information. Label BAP FAP IC1, IC2 P1, P2, P3, P4 Description Brachial arterial pressure Femoral arterial pressure Alternative intracranial pressures Alternative non-specific pressure labels Zeroing the Pressure Transducer To avoid inaccurate pressure readings, the monitor requires a valid zero. Zero the transducer in accordance with your hospital policy. You must perform a zero:
when you use a new transducer or tubing every time you reconnect the transducer cable to the monitor 184 11 Monitoring Invasive Pressure if you think the monitor's pressure readings are not correct. When using a pressure module, the zero information is stored in the module. When a pressure module, with the transducer connected, is plugged into the monitor, the monitor will use the Zero stored in the module. Zeroing ICP (or IC1/IC2) Your hospital guidelines may require you to zero the ICP transducer less frequently than other transducers, due to the need for aseptic conditions. When you zero an ICP transducer, the zero values are automatically stored and you will not be prompted to repeat the zero procedure. If you want to simultaneously zero all pressures except ICP, disconnect the ICP transducer from the Multi-Measurement module or pressure module while zeroing. Reconnecting the transducer recalls the stored values. WARNING If you select the label ICP (or IC1/IC2), the measurement device uses the most recently stored zero. Therefore, make sure you zeroed the transducer correctly in accordance with the transducer manufacturer's instructions and your hospital policy. When you use a transducer that you cannot rezero after placement, ensure that you keep the measuring device with the patient so that you are certain you have the correct zero data for this patient. Determining a Pressure's Most Recent Zero The monitor displays the most recent zero on the status line. If this has "timed-out" after you have performed a zero, redisplay the information in the status line by entering the pressure's setup menu. Zeroing a Pressure Measurement WARNING Invasive pressure alarms (and pulse alarms, if derived from invasive pressure) are temporarily suppressed until 30 seconds after the transducer finishes zeroing. Turn off the stopcock to the patient. 1 2 Vent the transducer to atmospheric pressure, to compensate for the static and atmospheric pressure exerted on the transducer. In the setup menu for the pressure, select Zero <Press Label>. 3 4 When you see the message <Press Label> zero done at <date and time> on the status line, close the stopcock to atmospheric pressure, and open the stopcock to the patient. CAUTION When using high frequency ventilation, ensure that the tubing from the ventilator does not touch the arterial line, or connect with it indirectly, while zeroing the pressure. This could cause small pressure variations which can interfere with the zero procedure. 185 11 Monitoring Invasive Pressure Using the Zero Hardkey Pressing the Zero hardkey for two seconds on the M1006B Pressure module starts a zero for the pressure currently measured with the module. Pressing the Zero hardkey for two seconds on the M3001A Multi-Measurement module zeros the pressure being measured by the Multi-Measurement module and the pressures from any connected MMS extensions. Zeroing All Pressures Simultaneously WARNING Before zeroing all pressures, make sure that all pressure transducers are vented to atmospheric pressure. If you are measuring pressures with more than one measuring device, using the Zero Press SmartKey to initiate the zeroing calls up a list of all active pressures. Select the pressure you want to zero or select All Press to zero all pressures simultaneously. Troubleshooting the Zero The status line lists the probable cause of an unsuccessful zero:
Message unable to zero -
equipment malfunction unable to zero -
excessive offset unable to zero -
unstable signal unable to zero - no transducer unable to zero -
pulsatile pressure unable to zero - timed out Switch on first Corrective Action The hardware is faulty. Contact your service personnel. Make sure the transducer is vented to air and try again. If this fails, the hardware may be faulty. Replace the adapter cable and try again. If it fails, replace the transducer and try again. If it still fails, contact your service personnel. Make sure that the transducer is connected and try again. If this fails, exchange the adapter cable and try again. If this fails, exchange the transducer. Make sure that the transducer is vented to air, not to the patient, and try again. Try pressing the Zero hardkey or Zero <Press Label> key again. If this fails, replace the transducer and adapter cable and contact your service personnel. Pressure measurement is switched off. To switch it on, in the Setup <Press Label> menu, select the pressure's label. Adjusting the Calibration Factor Each time you use a reusable transducer, compare the calibration factor written on your transducer with the calibration factor shown on the monitor. To ensure accurate measurement, they must be the same. 186 11 Monitoring Invasive Pressure 1 In the Setup <Press Label> menu, select Cal. Factor. If the value here does not match that on the transducer, select the corresponding value from the list now in accordance with your hospital's procedure. 2 To confirm you want to use the new calibration factor, select the Confirm pop-up key. Displaying a Mean Pressure Value Only Use this when you want to see only the mean pressure. In the pressure's setup menu, select Mean only. Toggle between On to display mean pressure value only, and Off to display all pressure values (systolic, diastolic and mean). Changing the Pressure Wave Scale 1 2 3 Select the label of the pressure wave whose scale you want to set to enter the Setup <Press Label> menu. In the Setup <Press Label> menu, (for example ABP) select Scale. Select a value from the pop-up list:
a positive value sets the top gridline. The bottom gridline is set at zero. a negative value sets the bottom gridline. The middle gridline is set at zero. Optimizing the Waveform In the Setup <Press Label> menu, select Optimum Scale to let the monitor select the best minimum and maximum scales for the current wave. Using the Wave Cursor When the pressure wave is selected, you can display a cursor in the wave. It appears as a white horizontal line in the wave. Using the pop-up keys you can move the cursor up or down to the required position and store the corresponding value. The cursor value can be stored as a systolic, diastolic or mean pressure value, as an IAP (intra-abdominal pressure) value - for the waves P, P1 to P8, if IAP is configured as a measurement which can be manually entered as a PAWP value - if the pressure wave is a PAP wave The stored value appears in the trend database as a manually entered value. To display and position the cursor 1 2 3 Use the pop-up arrow keys to position the cursor. Using the pop-up keys you can also change the scale or the speed for the wave, freeze the wave or start a printout or recording. Select the pressure wave. Select Activate Cursor. 187 11 Monitoring Invasive Pressure Non-Physiological Artifact Suppression Some clinical procedures may affect blood pressure, for example, a flush procedure or a blood sample. Your monitor may be configured to suppress these non-physiological artifacts for a specified duration
(Artifact Suppr. is configured to 30 sec, 60 sec, or 90 sec). During artifact suppression, the monitor shows the INOP message <Press Label> ARTIFACT, and a question mark is shown beside the pressure numerics. Pressure alarms and the <Press Label> NON-PULSATILE INOP are suppressed during the configured period. The CPP alarms are not suppressed. Choosing the Pressure Alarm Source WARNING Make sure you set alarm limits for the correct label. The alarm limits you set are stored for that particular label only. Changing the label may change the alarm limits. You can monitor for alarm conditions in systolic, diastolic and mean pressure, either singly or in parallel. Only one alarm is given at a time, in this order of priority: mean, systolic, diastolic. In the Setup <Press Label> menu, select Alarms from and choose the source. Menu option Sys. Dia. Mean Sys & Dia Dia & Mean Sys & Mean Sys&Dia&Mean Pressure value monitored systolic diastolic mean systolic and diastolic in parallel diastolic and mean in parallel systolic and mean in parallel all three pressures in parallel Select and set the High Limit and Low Limit for the pressure(s) you have selected. Extreme Alarm Limits for Pressure The extreme pressure alarms, Extreme High and Extreme Low, can be made available for your monitor in Configuration Mode and are additional to the standard High and Low limit alarms. They are generated by the active pressure alarm source, and are setup in Configuration Mode by adding a set value (the value) to the high and low alarm limits. This value can be set for each pressure label individually. 188 11 Monitoring Invasive Pressure 1 Extreme Low Limit Low Limit 2 3 High Limit 4 Extreme High Limit 5 Extreme Low 6 Extreme High You need to know which values have been configured for your monitor. Changing the high and low alarm limits automatically changes the extreme alarm limits within the allowed range. To see the extreme pressure alarms set for your monitor, in the Setup <Press Label> menu, see the menu items Extreme High and Extreme Low. The extreme pressure alarms are high priority, red alarms, marked *** in the alarm message. Calibrating Reusable Transducer CPJ840J6 Depending on your monitor's configuration, you may be able to perform a calibration in monitoring mode. Perform a mercury calibration when you use a new transducer, and at regular intervals according to your hospital policy. You require:
standard sphygmomanometer. sterile 10cc syringe with heparinised solution. 3-way stopcock. approximately 25cm of tubing. Making the Pressure Calibration WARNING Never perform the invasive pressure calibration while a patient is being monitored. 1 Zero the transducer. 2 Connect the syringe and manometer. a. Attach the tubing to the manometer. b. Connect the 3-way stopcock to the stopcock that is not connected to the patient catheter when you measure a patient. c. Attach the syringe to one port and the manometer tubing to the other port. 189 11 Monitoring Invasive Pressure d. Open the port to the manometer. 1 Tubing to manometer 2 Syringe with heparinised solution 3 To pressure connector on monitor 4 Patient connection stoppered 5 Off 3 Move the syringe barrel in and raise the mercury to 200 mmHg (30 kPa). 200 mmHg is the recommended calibration pressure. In the Setup <Press Label> menu, select Cal. Press. Select the calibration pressure from the list, for example 200 mmHg. Select Confirm to recalculate the calibration factor using the applied pressure. 6 7 When the monitor displays <Press Label> mercury calibr. done at <date and time>, remove the manometer tubing, syringe and extra stopcock. We recommend you replace the transducer dome and tubing with sterile ones. Label the transducer with the calibration factor shown in the Cal. Factor field in the pressure's setup menu. 4 5 8 9 Reconnect the patient and start measuring again. Troubleshooting the Pressure Calibration The status line lists the probable cause of an unsuccessful calibration. Message unable to calibrate - equipment malfunction Corrective Action Contact your service department. The pressure hardware is faulty. 190 11 Monitoring Invasive Pressure Message unable to calibrate - out of range Make sure that you have selected the value for Cal. Press that you are applying to the transducer, and repeat the calibration. Make sure that the transducer is connected and try again. Corrective Action unable to calibrate - no transducer unable to calibrate - unstable signal unable to calibrate - perform zero first Make sure there are no disturbances to the transducer, and repeat the calibration. No valid zero. Zero the transducer. Calculating Cerebral Perfusion Pressure The monitor can calculate the difference between mean arterial pressure and the intracranial pressure. The difference is labeled CPP. 1 In the Main Setup menu, select Measurements. In the Setup CPP menu, select one of the listed pressures as the arterial pressure source. 2 Calculating Pulse Pressure Variation Note: Pulse Pressure Variation can be calculated in two different ways on this monitor - directly from the pressure measurement or in conjunction with the CCO measurement. Refer to the Cardiac Output chapter for information on PPV from CCO. Only one PPV can be active at a time. Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) is calculated from beat-to-beat arterial pressure values. Pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic and the diastolic pressure values for a single beat. Pulse pressure variation is defined as the maximal pulse pressure less the minimum pulse pressure divided by the average of the two. The average variation in pulse pressure is calculated over periods of 32 seconds. WARNING This monitor can calculate PPV from beat-to-beat values of any arterial pulsatile pressure. The circumstances under which the calculation of a PPV value is clinically meaningful, appropriate and reliable must be determined by a physician. The clinical value of the derived PPV information must be determined by a physician. According to recent scientific literature, the clinical relevance of PPV information is restricted to sedated patients receiving controlled mechanical ventilation and mainly free from cardiac arrhythmia. PPV calculation may lead to inaccurate values in the following situations:
The PPV measurement has been validated only for adult patients at respiration rates below 8 rpm during ventilation with tidal volumes lower than 8 ml/kg for patients with acute right ventricular dysfunction ("cor pulmonale"). To select an arterial pressure as PPV source:
1 In the Main Setup menu, select Measurements. In the Setup PPV menu, select ABP, ART, Ao, BAP, P or FAP as the arterial pressure source. 2 191 11 Monitoring Invasive Pressure CAUTION Older Multi-Measurement modules cannot supply a beat-to-beat arterial pressure value. In this case the monitor shows a NO PPV FROM MMS or NO PPV FROM FMS INOP. Measuring Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure Fluid status Pulmonary Artery Wedge Pressure (PAWP) values, used to assess cardiac function, are affected by:
Myocardial contractility Valve and pulmonary circulation integrity Obtain the measurement by introducing a balloon-tipped pulmonary artery flotation catheter into the pulmonary artery. When the catheter is in one of the smaller pulmonary arteries, the inflated balloon occludes the artery allowing the monitor to record changes in the intrathoracic pressures that occur throughout the respiration cycle. The pulmonary wedge pressure is the left ventricular end diastolic pressure (preload). The most accurate PAWP values are obtained at the end of the respiration cycle when the intrathoracic pressure is fairly constant. You can use the respiration waveform as a reference when assessing the PAWP waveform, to ensure constant measurement timing relative to the respiratory cycle. The monitor displays the PAWP value for up to 24 hours or until you admit a new patient. WARNING The pressure receptor in the catheter records pressure changes that occur only in front of the occlusion. Even though the catheter tip is in the pulmonary artery, the receptor records pressure changes transmitted back through the pulmonary circulation from the left side of the heart. While performing the wedge procedure, the monitor switches off the pressure alarms for pulmonary artery pressure (PAP). Due to a slight measurement delay, you should not use sidestream CO2 as a direct reference for determining the end expiratory point in the pressure curve. To start the Wedge procedure, 1 In the Main Setup menu, select Wedge to display the wedge procedure window. Prepare and check the pressure line according to your hospital policy. 2 3 Use the Refernce Wave 1 and Refernce Wave 2 pop-up keys to select any ECG or respiratory wave as reference waves. Select Change Speed if you want to change the speed of the displayed wave. The speed can also be changed in the screen for editing the wedge. Select Change Scale to change the wave scale of the PAP. The same scale will be used in the screen for editing the wedge. If the setting Optimum Scale is used, the wave scale will be optimized when a wedging waveform is recognized and will revert to the previous scale when the wedge procedure window is closed. Inflate the balloon when the monitor prompts you: Ready for balloon inflation. The waveform changes from the PAP to the PAWP wave. The measurement takes approximately 12 seconds. On 4 5 6 192 11 Monitoring Invasive Pressure completion, the monitor stores the PAWP waveform display and prompts you to deflate the balloon. If the monitor cannot detect a wedging waveform you must use Store Trace to store the wedge and two reference waves manually. 7 Deflate the balloon when the monitor prompts you: Ready for balloon deflation and verify that the waveform returns to pulmonary artery shape. If you need to start a new measurement, select Restart Wedge. 8 Editing the Wedge Select the Edit Wedge pop-up key to see the stored waveforms. 1 2 The monitor displays a cursor in the waveform at the PAWP mean value. It also displays any previously stored value and the time it was stored. Select Change Speed if you want to change the speed (resolution) of the displayed wave. 3 4 Move the cursors up, down, right and left to set them on the correct wedge position. 5 Select Store Wedge to store the PAWP value. Select Print Wedge to print the PAWP waveform and any reference waves or Record Wedge to record them. While recording or printing, you cannot perform any more Wedge tasks. 6 WARNING Prolonged inflation can cause pulmonary hemorrhage, infarction or both. Inflate the balloon for the minimum time necessary to get an accurate measurement. If the pulmonary artery flotation catheter drifts into the wedge position without inflation of the balloon, the pulmonary artery pressure waveform assumes a wedged appearance. Take appropriate action, in accordance with standard procedures, to correct the situation. If the PAWP (mean) is greater than the PAP (systolic), deflate the balloon and report the incident in accordance with hospital policy, because the pulmonary artery could be accidentally ruptured, and the wedge value derived will not reflect the patient's hemodynamic state, but will merely reflect the pressure in the catheter or balloon. Identifying the Pressure Analog Output Connector 1 Analog output (module M1006B, option C01 only) 193 11 Monitoring Invasive Pressure 194 12 12Monitoring Cardiac Output The Cardiac Output (C.O.) measurement invasively measures cardiac output and other hemodynamic parameters using a technique called thermodilution. This can be used to determine the flow rate of a system by introducing a cold solution into the system and measuring the resulting drop in temperature at a downstream site. The temperature change is displayed as a curve in the C.O. procedure window, and the monitor calculates the C.O. value from this curve. The C.O. value is inversely proportional to the area under the curve. As cardiac output varies continuously, a series of measurements must be carried out to achieve a reliable C.O. average value. Always use the average of multiple thermodilution measurements for therapy decisions. The measurements can be carried out using the right heart thermodilution method or the PiCCO method (transpulmonary thermodilution). The right heart method is available with C.O. module M1012A, standard and option #C10 M3012A Hemodynamic Measurement Extension Module, options #C05 and #C10 M3014A Capnography Measurement Extension Module, option #C05 and #C10 The PiCCO method is available with C.O. module M1012A, option #C10 M3012A Hemodynamic Measurement Extension Module, option #C10 M3014A Capnography Measurement Extension Module, option #C10 The PiCCO method additionally lets you measure Continuous Cardiac Output (CCO) by performing pulse contour analysis on the blood pressure waveform. Hemodynamic Parameters This table illustrates the hemodynamic parameters available with each method, whether they are measured continuously, and whether they can be shown on the monitor's main screen or in the Hemodynamic Calculations window. 195 PiCCO Method (Transpulmonary Thermodilution) Right Heart Thermodilution 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output Measured and Calculated Hemodynamic Parameters and Indexes Blood Temperature (Tblood) C.O./C.I.: Cardiac Output CCO/CCI: Continuous Cardiac Output Y N Y Continuous?

Procedure Window The procedure window displays up to six trials (measurement curves) with the trial number and the C.O. value under the thermodilution curve. When you open the window, a line of pop-up keys automatically appears to let you carry out C.O.-related tasks. This example shows the procedure window for the transpulmonary (PiCCO) Method. The window may be configured to look slightly different on your monitor. To open the procedure window, Select Cardiac Output in the Setup C.O. or Setup CCO menu, or Select the Cardiac Output SmartKey on the Screen, if configured, or Press the START hardkey on the front of the C.O. plug-in module, if available, or Press a remote start switch, if you are using one. 196 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output Prompt message field Average - column of averaged values 1 2 Unit column 3 Continuously measured numeric 4 5 Thermodilution curve of current trial 6 Curve alert message field 7 Current trial number 8 Setup information Trial numbers for the trial curves 9 10 Trial curves 11 Results table of current trial 12 Trial curve scale To change the measurement parameters shown in the results table of the procedure window, select the Table Contents pop-up key and choose from the list of available parameters. To view the currently-used temperature unit, see the "grayed-out" setting Temperature Unit in the Setup C.O. menu. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. The Cardiac Output screen element may be configured to display permanently on a specially designed Screen. Selecting the screen element opens the cardiac output pop-up keys. Accessing the Setup C.O. and Setup CCO Menus C.O. settings can be changed in the Setup C.O. menu. To access this menu, press the C.O. hard key on the C.O. module, or select any of the discontinuous C.O. numerics (for example, C.O., C.I.) on the screen. 197 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output CCO/CCI settings can be changed in the Setup CCO menu. To access this menu, select any of the continuously measured hemodynamic numerics (CCO, CCI.) on the screen. Entering the HemoCalc Window From the procedure window, select the pop-up key Hemo Calc to open the Hemo Calculations window. Measuring C. O. Using the PiCCO Method The PiCCO method combines transpulmonary thermodilution and pulse contour analysis on the blood pressure waveform. A fluid with a known volume and temperature is injected into the right atrium through a CVP catheter. The injectate bolus mixes with the blood in the heart and the change in blood temperature is measured with a thermistor at the distal end of an arterial catheter placed in one of the bigger systemic arteries, for example, the femoral or the axillary artery. The PiCCO Method requires a pressure measurement made using either the M1006B Pressure module, or a M3001A/M3002A MMS, or a measurement extension module M3015A, M3014A, or M3012A. (A pressure from an external device may not be used.) You will also need a conventional central venous (CVP) line and an arterial catheter from PULSION Medical Systems. You must use the approved catheters and puncture locations. Measuring Continuous Cardiac Output Every time C.O. is measured with the PiCCO method, the monitor uses this C.O. value and the result of the pulse contour analysis to calculate a patient-specific calibration factor. The monitor uses this value to compute CCO and the other continuous hemodynamic parameters. CCO values are calculated on a beat-to-beat basis and then averaged over a 12-second time frame. The calculated values are displayed as numerics on the monitor screen. Measuring Systemic Vascular Resistance The monitor uses CCO, an arterial pressure, and CVP to calculate a continuous SVR value. If a continuously measured CVP value is not available, the monitor uses a preset, static CVP value to calculate the SVR (you will see the INOP message SVR SET CVP USED). If the BSA is available, the monitor uses the CCI to calculate the SVRI. A CCO or CCI from an external device can also be used for the SVR/SVRI calculation. SVR/SVRI settings can be changed in the corresponding setup menu. To enter the menu, select Main Setup then Measurements followed by SVR or SVRI. To display a SVR/SVRI numeric on the Screen, select any numeric, then select Change Numeric and select SVR or SVRI from the list of available numerics. Measuring Pulse Pressure Variation Note: Pulse Pressure Variation can be calculated in two different ways on this monitor - in conjunction with CCO or directly from the pressure measurement. Refer to the Invasive Pressure chapter for information on PPV from pressure. Only one PPV can be active at a time. 198 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) is calculated from beat-to-beat arterial pressure values. Pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic and the diastolic pressure values for a single beat. Pulse pressure variation is defined as the maximal pressure less the minimum pressure divided by the average of these two pressures. WARNING The monitor calculates PPV from beat-to-beat values of the arterial pressure selected for CCO. The circumstances under which the calculation of a PPV value is clinically meaningful, appropriate and reliable must be determined by a physician. The clinical value of the derived PPV information must be determined by a physician. According to recent scientific literature, the clinical relevance of PPV information is restricted to sedated patients receiving controlled mechanical ventilation and mainly free from cardiac arrhythmia. PPV calculation may lead to inaccurate values in the following situations:
The PPV measurement has been validated only for adult patients at respiration rates below 8 rpm during ventilation with tidal volumes lower than 8 ml/kg for patients with acute right ventricular dysfunction ("cor pulmonale"). 199 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output Setting Up the PiCCO C.O.

It must be placed in one of the bigger systemic arteries, for example, the femoral or the axillary artery. You must use the approved catheters and puncture locations. Set up the central venous line. 2 3 Connect the injectate temperature probe housing to the venous line. 4 Injectate temperature probe Plug the C.O. interface cable into the C.O. module or measurement extension module and connect the following devices to the C.O. interface cable:
Thermistor connector Remote start switch (if used). Follow your hospital standards to avoid unintentional extraction of the C.O. catheter. Secure the cable using the mounting clip shipped with each C.O. interface cable. You may also find it helpful to loop the C.O. interface cable, tape the loop, and attach it to the undersheet of the patient's bed using a safety pin. 200 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output 5 If you are measuring CCO, set up the pressure measurement now. The CCO measurement requires a minimally dampened invasive pressure setup. You must ensure that there are no air bubbles in the pressure line or dome and use only specified accessories. 6 Check that the correct measurement method is selected. If a catheter is already connected to the Cardiac Output Interface Cable, the monitor automatically recognizes the method used. If not, in the Setup C.O. menu, select Method and then select Transpulmnry. 7 Check that you are using the correct probe - the M1646. This is the only probe supported for use;
it can be used with room temperature injectate or with cold injectate. 8 Check that the correct arterial catheter constant is selected. If the catheter is recognized by the monitor, the catheter constant is automatically displayed and cannot be changed manually. If it is not recognized, in the procedure window, select CathCt and use the pop-up keypad to enter the correct value. The catheter constant is usually written either on the catheter or on the catheter packaging. 9 Make sure that the injectate volume setting matches the injectate volume you will use. To change the volume, in the procedure window, select InjVol and select the correct injectate volume from the pop-up list. If there is a problem with the volume or temperature you have chosen, the monitor will issue a curve alert message to inform you of this. 10 If you are measuring CCO or CCI, check that the correct pressure source is selected in the Setup CCO menu. The pressure label under CCO From must match the pressure measured with the arterial catheter. To change the pressure source, select CCO From to call up a list of available pressure labels and select the correct label. If you are measuring CCO or CCI, verify that the correct alarm source is selected in the menu item Alarms From. To change the alarm source, select Alarms From and choose either CCO or CCI. 11 Performing PiCCO C.O. Measurements Always wait for the monitor to indicate readiness for the next step before proceeding. If you are measuring CCO, all measurements should be conducted within 15 minutes. Older measurements "expire" for CCO calibration. 1 Enter the procedure window. 2 When you see the message Ready for new measurement, start the measurement by selecting the pop-up key Start C.O. or pressing the Start hardkey on the C.O. module, or pressing the remote start switch. If the measuring mode is set to Auto the Start C.O. key will also enable the automatic start of consecutive measurements. 3 When you hear the ready tone and see the message Stable baseline, inject now!, inject the solution into the CVP catheter. At the end of the measurement the thermodilution curve, cardiac output, index values, ITBV and EVLW values and any curve alerts are displayed and a message will appear Wait before starting new measurement or in Auto mode Prepare for next injection or press Stop. 4 When you see the Stable baseline, inject now! message, repeat the procedure until you have completed the measurements you want to perform. You can perform a maximum of 6 measurements before editing. If you perform more than 6 measurements without rejecting any, the oldest will automatically be deleted when a 7th curve is stored. 201 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output Editing PiCCO C.O. Measurements It is important to identify and reject erroneous trials, as the monitor uses all the measurement trial values you do not reject to calculate the averaged cardiac output. 1 Review the trials. Irregular trials or trials marked with a "?" should be reviewed carefully. Consider the similarity of the values and the shape of the C.O. curve. A normal C.O. curve has one smooth peak and returns to the temperature baseline level after the peak. 2 Reject unsatisfactory trials: use the Select Trial pop-up key to move between trials, then select the Accept Reject pop-up key to accept or reject trials. If you are using a touch screen you can accept or reject trials directly by tipping on the trial curve. Discard conspicuously different values. The background of rejected trials is red and the background of accepted trials is green. The monitor recalculates the average values after you reject or accept trials. If all values are different from each other, there may be true hemodynamic instability caused, for example, by severe cardiac arrhythmia. Saving and Calibrating PiCCO C.O. Measurements When you have finished editing the trials, you must save the results. This closes the measurement series, sends the average C.O. numeric to be displayed on the main screen, and stores the averaged values in the trends and calculations databases. Before the monitor can calculate CCO, you must calibrate the measurement. You should also calibrate CCO every eight hours, or if the hemodynamic condition of the patient changes consistently in the same direction over 15 minutes, or if there are large or sudden changes in the patient's condition. The monitor only uses C.O. measurements from within the last 15 minutes for calibrating CCO. To save and calibrate, In the procedure window, select the pop-up key SaveC.O. &Cal CCO to use the averaged C.O. value to calibrate Continuous Cardiac Output (CCO). Your monitor may be configured to have two separate pop-up keys, Save C.O. and Cal CCO, instead of the combined SaveC.O. &Cal CCO. WARNING CCO calibration is patient-specific. When the C.O. module or measurement extension module is plugged in after the patient has changed, make sure that the correct CCO calibration is used. When in doubt perform a new CCO calibration first. CCO Calibration Status Indicators Each measurement trial is tagged with a calibration status indicator next to its trial number. Reflecting the quality of the pressure signal during the thermodilution measurement, this tag indicates each trial's validity to be used in a CCO calibration. 202 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output For a trial to be eligible for calibration, the pressure signal must be continuously available and undisturbed starting 30 seconds before the first C.O. measurement of the series. Do not zero the pressure measurement, change the pressure label, or disturb the pressure signal in any other way during this time. Cal
?Cal N/A Exp A pressure signal for CCO was available during the measurement (valid for calibration) A disturbed pressure signal for CCO was available during the measurement (valid for calibration) No adequate pressure signal for CCO was available during the measurement (no valid calibration data) This trial is more than 15 minutes older than the most recent trial and has expired for CCO calibration (no valid calibration data) Measuring C.O. Using the Right Heart Thermodilution Method In the right heart thermodilution method, a fluid of known volume and temperature is injected into the right atrium through the proximal port of a pulmonary artery (PA) (Swan-Ganz) catheter. The injectate bolus mixes with the blood in the right ventricle and the change in blood temperature is measured with a thermistor at the distal end of the catheter in the pulmonary artery. 203 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output Setting up RH C.O.

Plug the C.O. interface cable into the C.O. module or measurement extension module and connect the following devices into the C.O. interface cable:
Follow your hospital standards to avoid unintentional extraction of the C.O. catheter. Secure the cable using the mounting clip shipped with each C.O. interface cable. You may also find it helpful to loop the C.O. interface cable, tape the loop, and attach it to the undersheet of the patient's bed using a safety pin. Plug the thermistor connection cable of the PA catheter into the thermistor connector. 4 5 Connect the injectate temperature probe to the injectate temperature probe housing. 6 Check that the correct measurement method is selected. If a catheter is already connected to the Cardiac Output Interface Cable, the monitor automatically recognizes the method used. If not, in the Setup C.O. menu, select Method and then select Right Heart. 204 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output Ice-Bath Setup for RH Thermodilution C.O. Measurements If you are using the flow-through method illustrated above, the injectate temperature is measured at the time of injection by the temperature probe in the injectate temperature probe housing. If you are using the ice-bath setup, the injectate temperature probe and the injectate are both placed in an ice-bath and the probe measures the temperature of the contents of the ice bucket. Setting the Computation Constant Check that the correct Computation Constant is entered in the procedure window. This can be found in the documentation supplied with the catheter and is based on the injectate volume, injectate temperature and catheter type. To change the value, in the procedure window, select Computation Constant and use the pop-up keypad to enter the correct value. Performing RH C.O. Measurements 1 Enter the procedure window. 2 When you see the message Ready for new measurement, select the pop-up key Start C.O.. If the measuring mode is set to Auto the Start C.O. key will also enable the automatic start of consecutive measurements. 3 When you hear a ready tone and see the message Inject now!, inject the solution into the right atrial port of the Swan-Ganz catheter. The optimal injection rate is 2.5 ml/second. At the end of the measurement the thermodilution curve, cardiac output, index values and curve alerts (if necessary) are displayed and a message will appear Wait before starting new measurement or in Auto mode Prepare for next injection or press Stop. 4 When you see the Inject now! message, repeat the procedure until you have completed the measurements you want to perform. You can perform a maximum of six measurements before editing. If you perform more than six measurements without rejecting any, the oldest will automatically be deleted when a seventh curve is stored. Editing and Saving RH C.O. Measurements It is important to identify and reject erroneous measurements (called "trials"), as the monitor uses all the measurement trial values you do not reject to calculate the averaged cardiac output. 1 Review the trials. Irregular trials or trials marked with a "?" should be reviewed carefully. Consider the similarity of the values and the shape of the C.O. curve. A normal C.O. curve has one smooth peak and returns to the temperature baseline level after the peak. 2 Reject unsatisfactory trials: use the Select Trial pop-up key to move between trials, then select the Accept Reject pop-up key to accept or reject trials. If you are using a touch screen you can accept or reject trials directly by tipping on the trial curve. Discard conspicuously different values. The background of rejected trials is red and the background of accepted trials is green. The monitor recalculates the average values after you reject or accept trials. If all values are different from each other, there may be true hemodynamic instability caused, for example, by severe cardiac arrhythmia. Save average C.O. values. To close a measurement series, you must save the average values by selecting the pop-up key Save C.O.. This sends the average C.O. numeric to be displayed on the main screen, and stores the averaged values in the trends and calculations databases. 3 205 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output Documenting C.O. Measurements 2 You can document C.O. measurements on the default printer or recorder. 1 In the procedure window, select the pop-up key Print/ Record. From the pop-up list, choose:
Print Results to print the contents of the procedure window Record Results to record the contents of the procedure window Record Trial to send an individual trial curve to the recorder. C.O. Injectate Guidelines The greater the injectate volume and the colder the temperature, the more accurate the measurement. Reduced injectate volume or higher injectate temperature may reduce the specified accuracy. For adult patients, to ensure the greatest measurement accuracy, use a cold injectate (< 8C) of 10 ml volume, if not contra-indicated by the patient's condition. Your choice of injectate volume should be based on the injectate temperature and the patient's cardiac output. Guidelines for Right Heart Thermodilution C.O. Injectate If you are using the right heart thermodilution method, the use of injectate with a temperature less than 8C lower than the blood temperature may cause incorrect values for the thermodilution. Guidelines for PiCCO C.O. Injectate If you are using the PiCCO method, the use of injectate with a temperature that is not at least 12C lower than the blood temperature may cause incorrect values for the thermodilution and CCO calibration. Injectate Volume, Patient Weight and ETVI Values (PiCCO Only) When deciding on an injectate volume and temperature, you must consider your patient's weight and extra-vascular thermal volume index (ETVI). The dilution of injectate is influenced by extravascular tissue and fluid. The accuracy of the PiCCO method may be reduced in patients with high extra-vascular thermal volume index (ETVI) values. Use the table below as a guide in selecting the correct injectate temperature. As shown in the table, if your patient has an ETVI > 10, you must use cold injectate. Use the table below as a guide in choosing an injectate volume appropriate for the patient weight. High ETVI Weight 206 Patient Weight
< 3 kg
< 10 kg
< 25 kg
< 50 kg
< 100 kg 100 kg Cold Injectate ETVI < 10 2 ml 2 ml 3 ml 5 ml 10 ml 15 ml 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output Room Temperature Injectate ETVI 10 Use cold injectate ETVI 10 2 ml 3 ml 5 ml 10 ml 15 ml 20 ml ETVI < 10 3 ml 3 ml 5 ml 10 ml 15 ml 20 ml C.O./CCO Curve Alert Messages After each measurement trial, the monitor analyzes the thermodilution curve. If the curve appears abnormal, a curve alert message appears in the procedure window. A question mark symbol ("?") may appear next to the cardiac output numeric if any of these messages appear. The curve alert messages are not error messages and do not necessarily mean that the measured values are invalid. 207 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output C.O./CCO Curve Alert Messages Tinj off scale Noisy baseline Temperature baseline drift Small signal, more indicator required Possible Causes The Tinjectate is out of the range -1C and 30C. Cool down or heat up the injectate or change the injectate solution and repeat the measurement. A blood temperature baseline drift that could not be compensated was detected during the C.O. measurement. Possible causes are:
- Interference may be caused by a ventilator.
- Interference may be caused by an infusion pump: infusions of significant volume through the central line should be paused at least 30 seconds before the first thermodilution measurement in a series and should not recommence until the measurement series is completed.
- Do not administer injections through the central line during a measurement series.
- Electrical devices in the vicinity can cause interference: check for infusion pumps connected to the central catheter, cables parallel to the thermodilution cable, electrocautery. Make sure all devices are properly grounded.
- Wait until measurement results are displayed before moving the patient or catheter.
- Close the stopcock to the injectate syringe after the injection.
- Do not rinse the catheter during measurement, to avoid temperature fluctuations. May occur if patient is recovering from open heart surgery, or if patient was cooled down for surgery and is in the process of regaining normal body temperature when the measurement is made. The peak of the transpulmonary thermodilution curve was below 0.1C. Increase injectate volume and/or lower injectate temperature. Injectate temperature too high The difference between the blood and injectate temperatures is too High ETVI, use cold injectate or greater inj. volume Disturbed injection Check Injectate Temperature Probe Type 208 small. The calculated value for C.O. may not be accurate. The ETVI value is too high. The accuracy of the transpulmonary thermodilution measurement may be reduced. Increase injectate volume and/or lower injectate temperature following the guidelines given in the section Guidelines for PiCCO C.O. Injectate
(Guidelines for PiCCO C.O. Injectate on page 206). The injection should be performed quickly and with a steady pressure. Shaking, unsteady pressure, or injections that take longer than six seconds may cause this message to appear; you should bear this in mind if you are using a large injectate volume (> 10 ml). The recorded Tinj signal is uncharacteristic for the M1646 injectate temperature probe. An incorrect probe type may have been used. 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output C.O./CCO Curve Alert Messages Unsteady baseline Multiple peaks Abnormal decay time Very long curve Very short curve Irregular curve Delayed injection Possible Causes There is a noisy baseline, and thermal baseline drift. Caused by faulty injection technique. May be caused by low cardiac output. Calculated value for C.O. may not be accurate. The decay time of the curve is longer than 15 seconds. Decay time of the curve is less than 0.5 seconds. If there is a noisy baseline, part of the baseline may have been mistaken for a thermodilution curve. Calculated value for C.O. may not be accurate. Any combination of curve alert messages. Injection is given more than 15 seconds after Start C.O. is selected. Calculated value for C.O. may not be accurate. If you have followed all of these guidelines, your measurement values should be valid, even if you still see a curve alert message. Ensure that at least three subsequent measurements within the current series do no differ by more than 15%. If the difference exceeds 15%, use your clinical judgment to determine the appropriate intervention. C.O./CCO Prompt Messages Prompt messages appear in the procedure window if a C.O. measurement trial must be terminated. C.O./CCO Prompt Messages Curve below baseline, measurement terminated Excessive curve height, measurement terminated Unstable baseline, injection not recommended!
Excessive baseline drift, don't inject now!
Possible Causes May be caused by thermal baseline drift. No C.O. value calculated. The curve exceeds the upper limit. This may be caused by an injectate that was too cold. No C.O. value calculated. The baseline is unstable. Wait until the baseline is stable before injecting. If this does not occur within a reasonable time, injection is possible but the accuracy of the measured values may be reduced. No measurement is possible. Measured values are incorrect. C.O./CCO Warning Messages Warning messages contain important information about the C.O. measurement. 209 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output C.O./CCO Warning Messages Next measurement erases older curve Possible Causes Six curves are stored, this is the maximum possible. If another measurement is stored, the oldest thermodilution curve will be erased. Verify C.O. setup data Previous C.O. setup data replaced A C.O. module or measurement extension module has been plugged in with different C.O. setup data from the previous data. The new C.O. setup data is read from the new C.O. device, and replaces the current data. The message disappears when the Start C.O. pop-up key is pressed. A new transpulmonary thermodilution catheter has been connected to the C.O. Interface Cable. Poor or invalid pressure signal, for example if pressure was not zeroed. Check arterial pressure, CCO cal currently not possible Verify the Computation Constant A new catheter has been plugged in, or the computation constant has been changed and Start C.O. has not been selected.

Computation Constant - Make sure that the computation constant for the measurement is appropriate to the injectate volume, injectate temperature and catheter type used. IABP - Do not perform transpulmonary thermodilution measurements on patients undergoing IABP treatment. CCO accuracy - Accuracy of the CCO measurement and all the derived values may be influenced by patients with valve diseases or artificial valves. C.O. and MRI - Do not use the Cardiac Output Interface Cable in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) Applications. Aortic graft patients - Do not use an arterial catheter in the arteria femoralis when it is contra indicated, for example, with patients who have an aortic graft. 210 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output CAUTION During the cardiac output measurement procedure the blood temperature alarms are inactive. This is indicated by a crossed-out alarm symbol next to the temperature numeric. Making alarms inactive during this procedure prevents false alarms. The alarms are automatically reactivated when you have completed the measurement procedure. 211 12 Monitoring Cardiac Output 212 13 13Monitoring Carbon Dioxide WARNING Measurements from an MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on its own battery power. They are only available when the X2 is powered by external power: when connected to a host monitor, to the external power supply (M8023A) or to the Battery Extension
(865297). Only one CO2 measurement at a time is supported. Use the CO2 measurement to monitor the patient's respiratory status and to control patient ventilation. There are two methods for measuring carbon dioxide in the patient's airway:
Mainstream measurement uses a CO2 sensor attached to an airway adapter directly inserted into the patient's breathing system. This method is available using the M3014A Capnography Extension and the M3016A Mainstream CO2 Extension, or the X2 with the optional CO2 measurement. Sidestream measurement takes a sample of the respiratory gas with a constant sample flow from the patient's airway and analyzes it with a remote CO2 sensor built into the measurement system. Philips offers the sidestream CO2 measurement in the M3014A Capnography Extension or the X2 with the optional CO2 measurement, and the Microstream method of sidestream CO2 measurement in the M3015A/B Microstream CO2 Extension. Refer to your Gas Module Instructions for Use, if you are using a Gas Module to monitor CO2. WARNING Correlation: The etCO2 readings do not always correlate closely with paCO2, especially in neonatal patients and patients with pulmonary disease, pulmonary embolism or inappropriate ventilation. Pharmaceuticals in aerosols: Do not measure CO2 in the presence of pharmaceuticals in aerosols. Explosion Hazard: Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases, such as a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide. Use of the devices in such an environment may present an explosion hazard. Failure of operation: if the measurement or a sensor fails to respond as described, do not use it until the situation has been corrected by qualified personnel. 213 13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Low etCO2 values: Leakages in the breathing system or sampling system may cause the displayed etCO2 values to be significantly too low. Always connect all components securely and check for leaks according to standard clinical procedures. Displacement of the nasal or combined nasal oral cannulas can cause lower than actual etCO2 readings. Even with combined nasal oral cannulas, the etCO2 readings may be slightly lower than actual in patients breathing through the mouth only. Measurement Principles For both mainstream and sidestream measurements, the measurement principle is infrared transmission, where the intensity of infrared light passing the respiratory gas is measured with a photo detector. As some of the infrared light is absorbed by the CO2 molecules, the amount of light passing the gas probe depends on the concentration of the measured CO2. When using a wet ventilator circuit, monitor mainstream CO2 if available, in preference to sidestream CO2. The partial pressure is calculated from the gas concentration by multiplying the concentration value with the ambient pressure. The measurement provides:
a CO2 waveform. an end tidal CO2 (etCO2) value: the CO2 value measured at the end of the expiration phase. an inspired minimum CO2 (imCO2): the smallest value measured during inspiration. an airway respiration rate (awRR): the number of breaths per minute, calculated from the CO2 waveform. Depending on the Max Hold setting configured for your monitor, the etCO2 numeric shows either the highest CO2 value measured within the configured time period (Max Hold set to 10 sec or 20 sec) or the etCO2 numeric shows breath-to-breath value (Max Hold set to Off). Measuring CO2 using M3014A or X2 The M3014A Capnography Extension or the X2 with the CO2 option measures partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patient's expired gas using the mainstream method or the sidestream method. The mainstream CO2 measurement can be used, with appropriate accessories, with intubated adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. The sidestream CO2 measurement can be used, with appropriate accessories, with intubated and non-intubated adult, pediatric, infant and neonatal patients. With intubated patients, a sample of the respiratory gas is drawn from the patient's breathing circuit through an airway adapter and a gas sampling tube. With non-intubated patients, the gas sample is drawn through a nasal or oral-nasal cannula. 214 13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide WARNING Altitude Setting: The monitor is not equipped with automatic barometric pressure compensation. Before the CO2 measurement is used for the first time, the altitude must be set to the correct value. An incorrect altitude setting will result in incorrect CO2 readings. The CO2 readings will typically deviate 5% for every 1000m difference. CAUTION Use the CO2 measurement with Philips approved accessories only. Refer to the instructions for use provided with the accessory. Preparing to Measure Mainstream CO2 You must perform a zero as described in this procedure each time you use a new airway adapter. 1 Attach the sensor connector to the CO2 connector on the MMS extension, or on the X2 (when the optional CO2 measurement is integrated). 2 Wait 2 minutes, allowing the sensor to reach its operating temperature and a stable thermal condition. 3 Choose the appropriate airway adapter and connect it to the sensor head. The airway adapter clicks into place when seated correctly. To zero the sensor:
expose the sensor to room air and keep it away from all sources of CO2 including the ventilator, the patient's breath and your own. in the setup menu for the CO2, select Start Zero Cal. 215 13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide When you see the message CO calibration done at <date and time> on the status line, the zero calibration is finished and you can begin monitoring. 4 Install the airway adapter at the proximal end of the circuit between the elbow and the ventilator Y-
section. WARNING To prevent stress on the endotracheal tube, support the sensor and airway adapter. Position sensor cables and tubing carefully to avoid entanglement or potential strangulation. Do not apply excessive tension to any cable. Replace the airway adapter, if excessive moisture or secretions are observed in the tubing or if the CO2 waveform changes unexpectedly without a change in patient status. To avoid infection, use only sterilized, disinfected or disposable airway adapters. Inspect the airway adapters prior to use. Do not use if airway adapter appears to have been damaged or broken. Observe airway adapter color coding for patient population. Preparing to Measure Sidestream CO2 1 Plug the sensor cable into the monitor's CO2 input connector. Allow the sensor two minutes warm up time 2 Connect the cannula, airway adapter, or sample line as appropriate, to the sensor. It will click into place when seated correctly. 3 To zero the sensor:
216 13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide expose the sensor to room air and keep it away from all sources of CO2 including the ventilator, the patient's breath and your own. in the setup menu for the CO2, select Start Zero Cal. when you see the message CO calibration done at <date and time> on the status line, the zero calibration is finished and you can begin monitoring. 4 For intubated patients requiring an airway adapter: Install the airway adapter at the proximal end of the circuit between the elbow and the ventilator Y-section. For intubated patients with an integrated airway adapter in the breathing circuit.: Connect the male luer connector on the straight sample line to the female port on the airway adapter. For non-intubated patients: Place the nasal cannula onto the patient. For patients prone to mouth breathing use an oral-nasal cannula. For nasal or oral-nasal cannulas with oxygen delivery, place the cannula on the patient as shown then attach the oxygen supply tubing to the oxygen delivery system and set the prescribed oxygen flow. WARNING Always connect the airway adapter to the sensor before inserting the airway adapter into the breathing circuit. In reverse, always remove the airway adapter from the breathing circuit before removing the sensor. Make sure that you do not accidentally connect the luer connector of the gas sample line to an infusion link or any other links in the patient vicinity. 217 13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide CAUTION Always disconnect the cannula, airway adapter or sample line from the sensor when not in use. Using the Sidestream Sensor Holder The holder delivered with the sensor can be used to clamp the sensor onto an IV pole or a shelf. Push the sensor into the holder until it clicks into position. 1 2 Clamp the holder onto an IV pole, a shelf or another appropriate location. To remove the sensor from the holder, release the clip and pull the sensor out of the holder. Removing Exhaust Gases from the System WARNING Anesthetics: When using the sidestream CO2 measurement on patients who are receiving or have recently received anesthetics, connect the outlet to a scavenging system, to avoid exposing medical staff to anesthetics. Use an exhaust tube to remove the sample gas to a scavenging system. Attach it to the sidestream sensor at the outlet connector. Measuring Mainstream CO2 using M3016A The M3016A Mainstream CO2 Extension measures partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patient's expired gas using the mainstream method. When using the appropriate accessories you can use the mainstream CO2 measurement with ventilated adults, pediatric and neonatal patients. WARNING Infra-red radiation: Do not expose the airway adapter or M1460A transducer to infra-red radiation during use. This may cause incorrect readings. Preparing to Measure Mainstream CO2 1 Attach the transducer connector to the CO2 connector on the M3016A extension. 218 13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide 2 Wait 20 minutes, allowing the transducer to reach its operating temperature and a stable thermal condition. Perform an accuracy check and then, if necessary, calibrate the transducer. 3 Checking Transducer Accuracy WARNING Check transducer accuracy at least once a week or if you doubt the CO2 readings. 1 2 3 4 5 In Setup CO menu, select Cal. Mode to switch on calibration mode. Look at the calibration value displayed in the Setup CO menu next to Start CAL1. Is it the same as the value on the calstick? If not, calibrate the transducer now. Place the transducer on the low cell of the calstick (labeled 0.0 mmHg or "ZERO"). The reading on the screen should be zero within 1 mmHg within one minute. Place the transducer on the high cell of the calstick. The reading on the screen should be within 1 mmHg of the value on the calstick within one minute. If both readings are in range, you can leave calibration mode and begin monitoring. If either of the readings is out of range, calibrate the transducer. Calibrating the Transducer Place the transducer on one of the calstick cells and select Start CAL1. 1 Check that the windows on the calstick are clean and clear. 2 3 Enter the calibration value printed on the calstick then press Confirm to start calibration. 4 When the message CO CAL1 calibration done -- Start CAL2 calibration appears, put the transducer on the other cell and select Start CAL2 then press Confirm. 5 When you see the message CO calibration completed - leave Cal. Mode, calibration is complete. Select Cal. Mode to switch calibration mode off. You cannot monitor in calibration mode. 6 Attaching and Removing the CO2 Transducer 1 Open the latch and place the transducer (B) onto the airway adapter (A). Place the airway adapter in the patient's breathing circuit between the endotracheal tube and the Y-piece. You may see the 219 13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide CO SENS.WARMUP message until the transducer reaches operating temperature. Wait until this disappears before starting the measurement. 2 To remove the transducer from the airway adapter, open the latch and pull out the airway adapter. WARNING To prevent stress on the endotracheal tube, support the transducer and airway adapter. To avoid infection, use only sterilized airway adapters. Measuring Microstream CO2 using M3015A/B The M3015A/B Microstream CO2 Extension measures the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patient's expired gas using Microstream technology. The measurement is equipped with an automatic barometric pressure compensation. 220 13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Preparing to Measure Microstream CO2 Use appropriate accessories for:
All accessories are for single patient use only. the patient type (adult, pediatric or neonatal), the ventilation situation (including humidification) the duration - short term use, up to 24 hours (typically OR), or long term use (typically ICU). Using Microstream Accessories The Microstream measurement can be operated with the special Microstream accessories only. Refer to the instructions for use provided with the accessory. For intubated patient with non-humidified ventilation, you can use a Microstream FilterLine set. For humidified ventilation, use a FilterLine H Set. For non-intubated patients, the gas sample is taken through a Nasal FilterLine, or a Smart CapnoLine
(which is a combined oral-nasal FilterLine). In parallel to the measurement of the CO2, oxygen (O2) may be delivered to the patient to support gas exchange. This is done by using an O2/CO2 FilterLine, or a Smart CapnoLine O2 (a combined oral-nasal O2/CO2 FilterLine). Using the FilterLine and Airway Adapter WARNING Make sure that you do not accidentally connect the luer connector of the gas sample line to an infusion link or any other links in the patient vicinity. 1 Attach the female Luer connector to the CO2 inlet connector by pushing the socket cover aside and screwing the connector into place. 2 Check that the FilterLine is not kinked. 3 Change the FilterLine if a CO OCCLUSION INOP appears on the monitor or if the readings become extremely erratic. Disconnect the FilterLine during suctioning and nebulizing therapies or suppress sampling by turning off the pump as described in Suppressing Sampling (Suppressing Sampling (not Mainstream CO2) on page 223). Check the table in the Microstream CO2 Accessories section of the Accessories chapter for typical usage times for the different Microstream accessories. CO2 values for non-intubated patients using Microstream accessories will always tend to be lower than for intubated patients. If values appear extremely low, check whether the patient is breathing through the mouth or whether one nostril is blocked. 221 13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Removing Exhaust Gases from the System WARNING Anesthetics: When using the 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. Use an exhaust tube to remove the sample gas to a scavenging system. Attach it to the MMS Extension at the outlet connector. Suppressing Zero Calibration To prevent an automatic zero calibration from being started in the next five minutes, in the Setup CO menu, select No Zero For 5Min, or select the Suppress CO Zero SmartKey, if configured. Selecting No Zero For 5Min or selecting the Suppress CO Zero SmartKey again before the timer has timed out resets the timer to five minutes, unless an AutoZero became due during the previous suppression. Setting up all CO2 Measurements These tasks are common to all CO2 measurements except where otherwise noted. Adjusting the CO2 Wave Scale In the CO Wave menu or the Setup CO menu, select Scale. 1 2 Choose a suitable scale range from the pop-up list. Setting up CO2 Corrections Temperature, water vapor in the patient's breath, barometric pressure, and the proportions of O2, N2O and Helium in the mixture all influence CO2 absorption. If values seem inaccurately high or low, check that the monitor is using the appropriate corrections. 222 13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Correction Altitude
(M3014A only) O2
(M3014A only) Humidity N2O
(M3016A mainstream and M3015A/B microstream only) Gas
(M3014A only) Agent
(M3014A only) Altitude is set during installation. The monitor automatically applies an appropriate correction. In the Setup CO menu, select Oxy. Corr and select a value between 20%
and 100%, the default value is 20%. If you are not measuring the expired O2, estimate it by subtracting 5% from the inspired O2 then select the nearest value from the list. At installation, the monitor is configured to automatically apply either Body Temperature Pressure Saturated (BTPS) or Ambient Temperature Pressure Dry (ATPD). To see which, go to the Setup CO menu, and scroll down to look at Hum. Corr or Humidity Corr.. In the Setup CO menu, select NO Corr. and turn on or off. If N2O is present in the ventilation gas mixture, you must turn this on. If the N2O correction is not available in the Setup CO menu, the CO2 measurement in your MMS Extension does not require N2O correction or it is setup with Gas Corr. (see below). In the Setup CO menu, select Gas Corr. and select Helium, NO or turn off. If Helium or N2O is present in the ventilation gas mixture, you must make the appropriate selection. If the Gas correction is not available in the Setup CO menu, the CO2 measurement in your MMS Extension does not require N2O or Helium correction or the N2O correction is setup with NO Corr. (see above). In the Setup CO menu, select Agt. Corr and select the concentration of the anesthetic agent (between 0.0% and 20.0%). If an anesthetic agent is present in the ventilation gas mixture, you must select the appropriate concentration. Suppressing Sampling (not Mainstream CO2) To temporarily stop sampling, in the Setup CO menu, select Pump 15Min Off or use the CO Pump Off SmartKey if available. Selecting Pump 15Min Off again before fifteen minutes have passed resets the timer to fifteen minutes. To re-start the pump, in the Setup CO menu, select Pump On. Changing CO2 Alarms This refers to CO2 specific alarms. See theAlarms section for general alarm information. 1 In the Setup CO menu, select etCO High or imCO High and choose the high alarm limit. Select etCO Low and choose the low alarm limit. 2 Changing the Apnea Alarm Delay This determines the time limit after which the monitor alarms if the patient stops breathing. 1 In the Setup CO menu, select awRR. In Setup awRR menu, select Apnea Time. 2 3 Choose the apnea alarm delay time. 223 13 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide WARNING Safety and effectiveness of the respiration measurement method in the detection of apnea, particularly the apnea of prematurity and apnea of infancy, has not been established. Prolonged delay: The selected apnea alarm delay may be prolonged by up to 17 seconds, if an apnea occurs during the automatic zero process. This applies to the Microstream (M3015A/B) measurement only. Deriving Alarms From awRR 1 In the Setup CO menu, select awRR. In the Setup awRR menu, select Alarms. 2 3 Choose On to derive alarms from the airway respiration signal or Off to disable them. Changing awRR Alarm Limits 1 2 3 In the Setup CO menu, select awRR. Select High Limit to set the upper alarm limit. Select Low Limit to set the lower alarm limit. Select the appropriate setting. 224 14 14Monitoring Airway Flow, Volume and Pressure The M1014A Spirometry Module is designed to be used in combination with Philips-branded airway flow sensors and combined CO2/airway flow sensors. It produces a real time wave for flow, volume and pressure of respiratory gases together with numerics for analysis of ventilatory mechanics. The measurement provides:
Airway flow, airway volume and airway pressure waveform. Numerics for:
respiratory rate tidal volume minute volume PEEP (positive end-expiratory pressure) PIP (peak inspiration pressure) dynamic compliance airway resistance Numerics for: (only visible in SpirometryValues Window, no alarming, no trending) peak inspiratory flow peak expiratory flow negative inspiratory pressure mean airway pressure plateau pressure numeric I:E ratio The measurement also provides pressure-volume loops, flow-volume loops and pressure-flow loops. Please see Respiratory Loops on page 355 for details on loops. When using combined CO2/Flow sensors you can also perform mainstream capnography with intubated adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. See the Monitoring Carbon Dioxide chapter for details on the CO2 measurement and the Accessories chapter for a list of compatible accessories. 225 14 Monitoring Airway Flow, Volume and Pressure WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: Do not open the module. Contact with exposed electrical components may cause electrical shock. Always turn off and remove power before cleaning the module. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Attaching the Flow Sensor CAUTION Use the M1014A Spirometry Module with Philips approved accessories only. Refer to the instructions for use provided with the accessory. 1 Select the appropriate flow sensor. Make sure that you are using the correct sensor for the respective patient category. Otherwise accuracy may be reduced. Pediatric/Adult Flow Sensor (M2785A). Color: clear For intubated patients with endotracheal tube diameters >4 mm. Adds approximately 6.5 cc of deadspace. Infant/Neonatal Flow Sensor (M2786A) Color: violet For intubated patients with endotracheal tube diameters 4 mm. Adds less than 1 cc of deadspace. You can also use combined CO2/flow sensors. Note that the M3014A Capnography Extension is required to measure CO2. Pediatric/Adult Combined CO2/Flow Sensor (M2781A). Color: clear For intubated patients with endotracheal tube diameters >5.5 mm. Adds 8 cc of deadspace. Pediatric Combined CO2/Flow Sensor (M2783A): Color: green For intubated patients with endotracheal tube diameters of 3.5 - 6 mm. Adds less than 4 cc of deadspace. Infant/Neonatal Combined CO2/Flow Sensor (M2782A). Color: violet For intubated patients with endotracheal tube diameters of 2.5 -4 mm. Adds less than 1 cc of deadspace. 1 If you are using a combined CO2/Flow sensor, connect it to the CO2 sensor head first. The airway adapter clicks into place when seated correctly. 2 Click the connector into place in the flow sensor receptacle on the monitor before connecting to the breathing circuit. 226 14 Monitoring Airway Flow, Volume and Pressure 3 Install the flow sensor or the combined CO2/Flow sensor at the proximal end of the breathing circuit between the elbow and the ventilator Y-piece. Make sure that the spirometry sensor is in a horizontal position with its tubing pointing upwards. The correct position is also indicated by an arrow on some of the sensors. (Graphic shows combined CO2/Flow Sensors). 1 Pediatric/adult sensor 2 Pediatric sensor 3 Infant/Neonatal sensor WARNING To prevent stress on the endotracheal tube, support the sensor and airway adapter. Position sensor cables and tubing carefully to avoid entanglement or potential strangulation. Do not apply excessive tension to any cable or tubing. Replace the sensor, if excessive moisture or secretions are observed in the tubing and cannot be removed by a purge cycle. Reuse poses a patient hazard. Do not disassemble, clean, disinfect or sterilize the sensor. A system leak may significantly affect readings of flow, volume, pressure and other respiratory mechanics parameters. Do not leave the sensor in the patient circuit when not connected to the monitor. NOTE Do NOT place the airway adapter between the endotracheal tube and the elbow (pediatric/adult circuit), as this may allow patient secretions to block adapter windows. The striped tubing of the flow sensor should always be proximal to the patient. Position the airway adapter with the spirometry tubing pointing upwards. To prevent "rain-out" and moisture from draining into the airway adapter, do NOT place the airway adapter in a gravity dependent position. Periodically check the flow sensor and tubing for excessive moisture or secretion build up. Perform a purge cycle if droplets are visible within the sensor or tubing. Repeat if necessary. If purging does not remove the droplets, replace the sensor. 227 14 Monitoring Airway Flow, Volume and Pressure For routine performance of airway care, separate the system between the endotracheal tube and the airway adapter (neonatal circuit), or between the endotracheal tube and elbow (pediatric/adult circuit). Lavage and suctioning of the airway can then be performed without fluids and mucous accumulating on the airway adapter windows. Measurement values provided by a ventilator may differ significantly from the values provided by the spirometry module, due to different locations of the flow sensor. Incorrect entry of gas compensation parameters (i.e. temperature, gas composition) may reduce the accuracy of the measured values. An abnormal volume waveform as displayed below may be an indicator of an air leak:
In general, if MVexp or TVexp are significantly smaller than MVin or TVin, the tubing should be checked for leaks. Zero Calibration The zero calibration maintains the accuracy of the spirometry waves and numerics by regularly compensating for drifts within the measurement section. It is performed automatically without user interaction and takes about 2 seconds to complete. The automatic zero calibration is normally carried out every ten minutes. During warm-up or when the ambient pressure changes, this interval may be reduced to two minutes. During the zero calibration the waveform is flat but the numerics remain on the screen. Typically, a zero calibration is started at the beginning of a respiration cycle, therefore a waveform may begin normally and then immediately become flat for the time of the zero calibration. 1 Zero Calibration Automatic Purging A double lumen connecting line (tubing) connects the flow sensors to the patient monitor. The M1014A Spirometry Module includes an automatic and manual purge feature which provides a flush of room air to keep the sensor tubing free from water condensation and patient secretions. This feature is available for the adult, pediatric, and neonatal modes. The purge will begin with the exhalation portion of the ventilator cycle. 228 14 Monitoring Airway Flow, Volume and Pressure NOTE During the purge cycle the pump will be heard With each purge cycle, a zero calibration is automatically performed If the purge does not sufficiently clear the flow tubing lines, the flow sensor should be replaced Adult Mode The system automatically purges the sensor tubing every ten minutes or less, depending on system conditions. In adult mode, the system will purge both sides of the line, one at a time, during each purge cycle. The higher the pressure, the more frequent the purging. This action anticipates increased moisture migration into the sensor tubing due to the increase in circuit pressure. Neonatal and Pediatric Modes The automatic purge cycles used in the neonatal or pediatric mode is fixed at every three minutes regardless of circuit pressure. Only one side of the sensor tubing will be purged during each purge cycle. Unlike the adult purge mode, the neonatal or pediatric purge mode does not use the full force of the internal pump, but rather pressurizes an internal reservoir which is used for the purge. This minimizes the pressure delivered to the ventilator circuit, but does deliver a sufficient pressure to purge the sensor tubing. Manual Purging Occasionally, purging may be required in between the automatic purge cycles. The manual purge may be used as often as needed. Check the orientation of the flow sensor if repeated manual purge cycles become necessary. To manually purge, press the Purge button on the module (marked by on international versions of the module) or select Purge in the Setup Spirometry window to initiate a combined purge and zero cycle. Gas Compensation Temperature and the proportions of individual gases influence the flow measurement. If values seem inaccurately high or low, check that the monitor is using the appropriate gas compensation. Gas compensation can be done using either manually entered gas concentrations or gas concentrations from the gas analyzer. NOTE If you unintentionally switch the gas compensation to the incorrect setting, the accuracy of the measured flow and volume values may be significantly reduced. The tables below show examples of incorrect gas compensation settings and the resulting inaccuracies:
229 14 Monitoring Airway Flow, Volume and Pressure N2 O2 N2O Agent Actual Gas Composition 60 Gas Compensation Setting 40 40 60 Incorrect Balance Gas Setting (N2O instead of N2) Difference between measured and actual values 15%
N2 O2 N2O Agent Difference between measured and actual values Actual Gas Composition Gas Compensation Setting 55 60 40 40 5 0 15%
Incorrect Agent Percentage Setting Setting up Spirometry The following settings can be accessed through the Setup Spirometry menu. Optimizing Scale Settings In the Setup Spirometry menu, select Optimize Scales. The scale settings for all three spirometry waves (AWF, AWP, AWV) will be optimized. Spirometry Values Window You can view all spirometry measurement data in the spirometry data window. In the Setup Spirometry menu, select Show All Values. Alarms and Alarm Limits Alarms can be derived from PEEP, PIP, MV and RRspir. In the Setup Spirometry menu you can set the alarm limits. Please refer to the Alarms chapter of this manual for details on alarm settings. Changing the Apnea Alarm Delay This determines the time limit after which the monitor alarms if the patient stops breathing. 1 In the Setup Spirometry menu, select RRspir. In Setup RRspir menu, select Apnea Time. 2 3 Choose the apnea alarm delay time. 230 14 Monitoring Airway Flow, Volume and Pressure WARNING Safety and effectiveness of the respiration measurement method in the detection of apnea, particularly the apnea of prematurity and apnea of infancy, has not been established. WARNING If an apnea occurs during a zero calibration or purge, the time delay between the start of apnea and the activation of the apnea alarm could be up to 10 seconds plus the configured apnea delay time. Automatic Alarm Suppression If the automatic alarm suppression is switched on, all spirometry alarms are suppressed until breathing activity has been detected. This setting must be made in configuration mode. Choosing Measured AWV Components 1 2 In the Setup Spirometry menu, select AWV. Select MV to choose the measured components for Minute Volume (inspiratory and/or expiratory or off). Select TV to choose the measured components for Tidal Volume (inspiratory and/or expiratory or off). NOTE If MV and TV are set to off, there will be no alarming for these parameters. Setting the Gas Compensation Mode 1 2 In the Setup Spirometry menu, select Gas Compensation. Select Mode to choose the Gas Compensation mode:
select Manual for manually entered gas concentrations or select Gas Analyzer for gas concentrations from the gas analyzer. NOTE Gas concentrations from the gas analyzer are only available for Philips gas analyzers, not for devices connected via a Vuelink/IntelliBridge module. If gas concentrations from the gas analyzer are selected but not all data is available, the missing data is taken from manually entered values. In case of invalid data or no data at all, the INOP message SPIRO GAS COMPENS? is displayed. Changing the Type of Balance Gas 1 2 3 In the Setup Spirometry menu, select Gas Compensation. Select Balance Gas to change the type of balance gas. Select the appropriate setting (N2 or N2O). 231 14 Monitoring Airway Flow, Volume and Pressure Changing the Concentration of Inspired O2 and the Inspired Agents 1 2 3 In the Setup Spirometry menu, select Gas Compensation. Select Inspired O to change the concentration of inspired O2. Select Inspired Agent to change the concentration of the inspired agent(s). Select the appropriate setting. Changing the Temperature of the Inspired Gas Depending on the type of ventilator environment (e.g. if you are using a Heat Moisture Exchanger) you may want to change the temperature setting of the inspired gas:
1 In the Setup Spirometry menu, select Gas Compensation. Select Inspired Temp to change the temperature of the inspired gas. Select the appropriate temperature setting. 2 3 NOTE Changing the temperature setting unintentionally will result in approximately 3% reduced accuracy per 10C (18F) temperature setting change. 232 15 15Monitoring tcGas The tcGas module measures the partial pressure of the oxygen and carbon dioxide that diffuses through the skin, thereby providing a measure of these gases in the capillary blood. The monitor's settings for altitude and barometric pressure influence the measurement. The tcpO2/
tcpCO2 measurement is valid for an infant patient not under gas anesthesia. Anesthetic agents, such as halothane, can cause incorrect or drifting readings. Transcutaneous measurements cannot replace arterial blood gas monitoring. However, you can use transcutaneous monitoring to reduce the frequency of arterial sampling. The values at tissue level will not be the same as those measured arterially because the measurement is transcutaneous. They correlate with (track closely) the arterial values. For example, a drop in transcutaneous values usually indicates a corresponding drop in arterial values. Transcutaneous values will not always correlate with blood samples taken from the capillary blood of the heel (heelsticks or astrups). Identifying tcGas Module Components 1 Press to enter Setup tcGas menu Press to start calibration 2 3 Calibration chamber 4 Transducer connector Setting the tcGas Sensor Temperature 1 In the Setup tcGas menu, select Transducer Temp.. 233 15 Monitoring tcGas 2 Choose a temperature value appropriate for your patient's age, weight and physical condition in accordance with your hospital policy. Usually, a higher transducer temperature gives a better correlation and a quicker response time. However, higher temperatures also increase the risk of skin burns. Most physicians prefer a temperature between 42C (107F) and 44C (111F), and a site time of four hours or less. Usually, the higher the transducer temperature, the less the site time should be. Whenever you change the temperature setting, the monitor forces you to make a new calibration. Using the tcGas Site Timer Availability and behavior of the site timer depend on your monitor's configuration. WARNING Prolonged continuous monitoring may increase the risk of undesirable changes in skin characteristics, such as irritation, reddening, blistering or burns. If the site timer is disabled, the transducer will heat indefinitely while on a patient. Change the site regularly, in accordance with medical procedures in your hospital. Setting the tcGas Site Timer The site timer helps reduce the risk of skin burn by ensuring that the transducer is used at one site for no longer than a predefined period. It reminds you when this period expires. 1 2 Choose the time you want the transducer to remain on the measurement site. The optimum time In the Setup tcGas menu, select Site Time. depends on the transducer temperature and your patient's skin sensitivity. The site timer starts automatically when you remove the calibrated transducer from the calibration chamber. If you return the transducer to the chamber and then remove it again, the site time continues to count down the remaining time; it does not start a new time period. The time remaining before the site timer expires appears in the status line which is visible as long as the Setup tcGas menu is open. When the time expires, the monitor sounds a tone and a displays a change site INOP. The monitor either switches off the transducer heating or continues monitoring, depending on its configuration. Although you can reuse the transducer for up to two hours after the heating is switched off, without making a new calibration, you are recommended to recalibrate before applying it to a patient. After two hours without heat, you must recalibrate. During the initial few minutes of use, the monitor eliminates false alarms by temporarily suppressing tcGas alarms. It displays the <tcGas Label> STABILIZING INOP. After you apply the transducer to the skin, the instrument reading slowly assumes a steady value. The reading stabilizes when the measurement site is warm and local hyperemization is complete. This takes 10 to 20 minutes for the tcpO2 reading and three to seven minutes for tcpCO2. Restarting the tcGas SiteTimer To restart the site timer without recalibration (for example, after the site time has elapsed):
1 2 Enter and confirm your desired time. In the Setup tcGas menu, select Site Time. 234 Disabling the tcGas Site Timer 15 Monitoring tcGas Depending on your monitor's configuration, you might be able to disable the site timer. Remember, this means that the transducer heats indefinitely while on a patient. 1 In Setup tcGas menu, select Site Timer and switch this to Disabled. Select the Confirm pop-up key. 2 Setting the tcGas Barometric Pressure Altitude and barometric pressure affect tcGas values. The monitor derives barometric pressure from its altitude setting. If you want to set the true barometric pressure you must do this before starting a calibration - changes after calibration do not influence tcGas values. The monitor remembers this pressure setting until you enter a new one. 1 2 Enter the current barometric pressure reading indicated by your barometer. 3 In the Setup tcGas menu, select Ambient Pressure. Select the Confirm pop-up key. Remembraning the tcGas Transducer Follow the instructions supplied with the transducer. New/Dried Out Transducers Remembrane all new or dried out transducers twice before using. After the first remembraning, unplug the transducer from the module and leave it for 24 hours with the cap on. Remembrane again before calibrating. Storing tcGas Transducers If you need to store a sensor for more than 24 hours, protect it for up to 28 days by putting two drops of electrolyte solution into the cap. Screw the cap on the sensor. Remembrane if it dries out or after 28 days. Calibrating the tcGas Transducer You can use either a Philips (15210B) or a Radiometer TCC3 calibration unit and a gas cylinder whose pressure indicator is above the 'out-of-gas' zone (black on 15210B, red on TCC3). To maintain accuracy, it is recommended to calibrate the transducer every four hours, even if the monitor does not prompt you to do so. You MUST calibrate when:
you remembrane the transducer you change the transducer heat setting you doubt the measurement accuracy you start a new monitoring period or use a new site the monitor displays the Calibration required INOP message. 235 15 Monitoring tcGas 1 Connect the calibration unit to the inlet on the side of the module's calibration chamber using the recommended gas tubing. Different tubing will cause inaccurate measurements. 2 Plug the transducer cable into the module. Swing the calibration chamber cover open and insert the transducer into the chamber. Close the cover to secure the transducer. Set the transducer temperature at the monitor now. 3 On the 15210B calibration unit, turn the timer control clockwise as far as you can. On the Radiometer calibration unit, press the button with the green arrow once. 4 Press CAL on the module until the light above the key comes on and wait (three - 20 minutes) for the completion message to appear on the monitor. Alternatively, in the Setup tcGas menu, select StartCalibration. To save gas on 15210B, if the timer control dial is not in the start position when the monitor displays the completion message, turn the dial counter-clockwise to the start position. For TCC3, if the green light is still flashing when INOP <tcGas Label> CAL RUNNING disappears, press the green arrow button again. Calibration Failure If calibration fails, the monitor displays <tcGas Label> transducer or cal. unit malfunction and the
<tcGas Label> CAL FAILED INOP for the measurement. 236 Troubleshooting tcGas Calibration 15 Monitoring tcGas Perform each of the following steps, in order, until calibration is successful. 1 Check the calibration unit, then recalibrate, remembering to turn on the gas supply on the calibration unit. If the pressure indicator reading is in the out of gas zone, there is insufficient gas in the cylinder. Connect the gas tubing firmly to the calibration unit and to the module's calibration chamber. If Step 1 fails, check whether you need to activate the transducer (necessary if the electrolyte has dried out or if you have a new transducer). Remembrane the transducer, removing the old membranes, and cleaning the transducer head thoroughly. 2 3 Calibrate a second time. 4 If Step 2 is unsuccessful, calibrate again. This calibration may be required to stabilize the electrochemical system in the transducer. 5 Only if the above steps are unsuccessful (you have activated and remembraned the transducer and calibration has still failed twice), replace the transducer. Applying the tcGas Transducer 1 Peel protection film from fixation ring. Using a finger, press the sticky side of the ring on to clean, dry skin. Press around the outside to ensure a good seal. Apply three to five drops of contact fluid in the ring's center. Remove transducer from chamber. 2 Align the arrow on the transducer with the tab on the ring and fasten by turning a quarter-turn clockwise. Wait 10-20 minutes for readings to stabilize. 3 Apply the transducer as soon as possible after you see the message indicating that calibration is complete. If you wait longer than 30 minutes, the heat supply to the transducer switches off to prevent the electrolyte from drying out and a new calibration is necessary. Optimize the measurement by selecting a site with high capillary density and blood flow, thin epidermis and no cardiovascular disorders. Most physicians use the abdomen, chest and back. 237 15 Monitoring tcGas WARNING You must either remove the transducer before defibrillating, or remembrane and calibrate the transducer after defibrillating. CAUTION To avoid transducer damage, remove it from the patient during high frequency surgical procedures. Selecting the tcGas HeatPowerDisplay Mode The heat power display gives an indication of the skin's perfusion below the transducer and of the transducer's contact with the skin. If the transducer loses contact, the heat power value drops significantly. When perfusion is poor you need less heat power to maintain the transducer temperature. In the Setup tcGas menu, select HeatPowerDisplay and then Relative or Absolute. Choose Relative when the skin temperature is stable (the <tcGas Label> STABILIZING INOP disappears). This indicates subsequent changes in the relative heat power (and therefore changes in perfusion or transducer contact) since the last zeroing. Zeroing the tcGas Relative Heat Power When you start a calibration, the HeatPowerDisplay is set to Absolute. When you switch to Relative, it automatically zeros. Zero again if you change application site. Finishing tcGas Monitoring Replace the transducer in the calibration chamber. When changing the application site after a measuring period, some users leave the fixation rings in position to allow them to quickly move the transducer from site to site. Always unscrew the transducer from the fixation ring before removing the fixation ring from the skin. TcGas Corrections Transcutaneous pCO2 values tend to be higher than arterial values due to the metabolic processes of the skin and the effect of heating on the blood under the transducer. Depending on your monitor's configuration, one or both of these corrections may automatically apply. Temperature Correction for tcpCO2 The transducer temperature causes an increase in partial CO2 pressure. Your monitor may be configured to correct this. In the Setup tcGas menu, look at the menu item CO Correction. If correction is enabled, it is set to On. 238 15 Monitoring tcGas Metabolism Correction for tcpCO2 CO2 production in the epidermis increases the CO2 value. Your monitor may be configured to automatically deduct a metabolism factor (only applies when CO Correction is on). In the Setup tcGas menu, look at the value shown for the menu item MetabolismFactor. This is deducted from the CO2 value. 239 15 Monitoring tcGas 240 16 16Monitoring Intravascular Oxygen Saturation Depending on the probe or catheter used and the measurement location, the two modules, M1011A and M1021A, measure the central venous oxygen saturation or mixed venous oxygen saturation continuously and invasively. The two modules can be differentiated by their size and their labeling. The M1011A is a single-width module (narrow) and is labeled SO2. The M1021A is a double-width module (wide) and is labeled SvO2. 1 M1011A 2 M1021A WARNING Injected dyes, such as methylene blue, or intravascular dyshemoglobin may lead to inaccurate measurements. Do not monitor oxygen saturation during infusion of I.V. fat emulsion or other turbid substances through the distal lumen of the OptiCath catheter. These liquids might temporarily modify the blood scattering and absorption characteristics at the catheter tip. This interferes with the optical measurement of oxygen saturation. After infusion is complete, you can again monitor oxygen saturation accurately. During injection of the bolus for thermodilution cardiac output measurements, the SvO2 measurement might be disturbed. Explosion Hazard: Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases, such as a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide. Use of the devices in such an environment may present an explosion hazard. 241 16 Monitoring Intravascular Oxygen Saturation Do not use probes/catheters when they, or the packaging, are damaged. Always select the correct label for the measurement location and the catheter/probe in use. This is especially important when Protocol Watch is in use, to ensure that the correct limits are used for the criteria applied. CAUTION Use the modules with Philips approved accessories only. Refer to the instructions for use provided with the accessory. Selecting a Measurement Label Always select a measurement label before inserting a catheter/probe. Use the SvO2 label when the catheter/probe will be located in the pulmonary artery (measuring mixed venous oxygen saturation). This is the only label which allows the measurement value to be used to calculate oxygen extraction (see Calculating Oxygen Extraction on page 247) and in the standard oxygen calculations. Use the ScvO2 label when the catheter/probe will be located in a central vein (measuring central venous oxygen saturation. Use the SO2 label in all other cases. To select a measurement label:
1 Select Main Setup then Measurements followed by <SO Label>
Select Label. Select the appropriate label for the catheter/probe location. 2 3 Preparing to Monitor with the M1021A Wide Module In addition to the measurement module, you need a Hospira OptiCath catheter, and 50131 Optical Module. Use only the Hospira accessories listed in the Accessories section. 242 16 Monitoring Intravascular Oxygen Saturation 1 Optical module 2 Balloon inflation stopcock 3 Hospira fiber optic catheter 4 Optical reference 5 Enter setup/calibration Connect the optical module (Hospira 50131) to the measurement module. Allow the optical module to warm up before you perform a calibration. Although the warm up message disappears from the screen after one minute, Hospira recommends letting the optical module warm up for 15 minutes for best accuracy. Please refer to the instructions for the optical module. To avoid false alarms during the pre-insertion calibration and insertion of the catheter into the patient, the monitor automatically suspends alarms during the pre-insertion calibration, for up to three minutes after you remove the catheter tip from the optical reference. After light intensity calibration, or after three minutes (whichever comes first), the monitor returns to the alarm state it was in prior to pre-
insertion calibration. Carrying out a Pre-insertion Calibration WARNING It is strongly recommended to carry out a pre-insertion calibration prior to all insertions. If this is not possible, you must perform an in-vivo calibration after insertion. Refer to the instructions for use that accompany the catheter. Do not use the catheter if the packaging is damaged. If you have to disconnect the monitor from the patient (for example, when transferring the patient from one location to another), you must disconnect at the SvO2 module. The catheter should remain in the optical module, otherwise you need to recalibrate. 1 Remove outer wrapping from catheter tray to uncover optical connector. 2 Place the optical module on the catheter tray in the space provided and open the lid. Place the optical connector into the optical module (with the label "TOP" facing upwards) and close the lid. In the Setup <SO Label> menu, select Start Pre-InsCal. Ensure that the tip of the catheter is still in the optical reference. Insert the catheter when you see the message <SO Label> calibration completed - catheter ready for insertion. If the calibration fails, repeat the calibration before inserting the catheter. If it fails a second time, replace the optical module. 3 4 5 243 16 Monitoring Intravascular Oxygen Saturation Inserting the Catheter 1 Remove the inner cover of the catheter tray. 2 Remove the catheter tip from the optical reference. Check the catheter's proper operation (for example: the balloon tip). Prepare and insert the catheter in accordance with standard hospital practice. 3 The SvO2 catheter is thin and flexible, treat it carefully. Avoid kinking, bending or grasping the catheter with forceps or a hemostat. Damage to the fiber results in low intensity light and sudden decrease in intensity readings. Refer to the documentation provided with the fiber-optic catheter, paying special attention to any precautions, warnings or contraindications. Secure the optical module directly or in close proximity to the patient, to avoid placing excessive tension on the catheter, which would result in movement of the catheter tip from the optimal position in the patient. Position the optical module to avoid contact with liquids, because fluid entering the catheter-optical module connection may impair light transmission. If you place the catheter in the patient without performing the pre-insertion calibration, you must perform an in-vivo calibration once the catheter is in place. Performing a Light Intensity Calibration Perform a light intensity calibration after the catheter is in its proper position. When the catheter is positioned properly, the light intensity indicator must cover at least two small divisions above the midpoint. In the Setup <SO Label> menu, select Start Light Cal. Calibration is complete after a few seconds. If you doubt existing light intensity readings, recalibrate. Performing In-Vivo Calibration if you place the catheter in a patient without performing a pre-insertion calibration. if the catheter was disconnected from the optical module. Perform an in-vivo calibration:

Check for:
Depending on the probe/catheter in use you may need to enter a catheter correction factor. This will be indicated in the table in the Accessories chapter or in the catheter documentation. 1 2 Enter the correction factor. In the Setup <SO Label> menu, select Catheter Factor. Making the In-Vivo Calibration 1 Be prepared to draw a blood sample from the patient. In the Setup <SO Label> menu, select Start In-VivoCal. 2 3 To clear the distal lumen, draw off and discard at least 2 ml of blood before taking the sample. 4 Draw a blood sample from the distal port of the catheter and flush the line according to standard hospital practice. 7 5 Obtain laboratory analysis of the sample using direct measurements. 6 Select CalibrationValue and select from the list the value received from the lab. Select Hct [%] (or Hb [mmol/l] or Hb [g/dl] depending on the set up) and enter the corresponding value from the laboratory analysis. To change the setup for entering the Hb/Hct, see Changing the Lab Value Required for Entry on page 246 below. 8 Complete the calibration by selecting Store In-VivoCal (even if the stored calibration value did not change) and select Confirm. This updates the data stored in the optical module. Selecting Recall Last Cal recalls the previously stored calibration value. If the calibration fails, check that the light intensity indicator is indicating a stable medium to high level. Repeat the calibration. 245 16 Monitoring Intravascular Oxygen Saturation Changing the Lab Value Required for Entry You can change the lab value required to be entered: Hb [g/dl], Hb [mmol/l] or Hct [%]. 1 In the Setup <SO Label> menu, select Hb/Hct Entry. Select your preferred lab value and unit. 2 Preparing to Monitor with the M1011A Narrow Module In addition to the module, you need a Philips SO2 Optical Module and a compatible fiber optic probe or catheter. Use only the accessories listed as applicable for the intended measurement location in the Accessories section. Connecting the Optical Module 1 Connect the optical module to the SO2 module. Allow the optical module to warm up before you insert the probe/catheter and perform a calibration. Although the warmup message disappears from the screen after one minute, it is preferable to let the optical module warm up for 10 minutes for best accuracy. Position the optical module to avoid contact with liquids. Fluid entering the catheter-optical module connection will impair measurement performance. Place the optical module on the catheter tray in the space provided and open the lid. For instructions on the placement of fiber optic catheters/probes, refer to the documentation provided with the accessory. 2 3 4 After Insertion The SO2 probe/catheter is thin and flexible, treat it carefully. Avoid kinking, bending or grasping the probe/catheter with forceps or a hemostat. Damage to the fiber results in low intensity light and a sudden decrease in intensity readings. Refer to the documentation provided with the fibre-optic probe/catheter, paying special attention to any precautions, warnings or contraindications. Secure the optical module directly attached or in close proximity to the patient, to avoid placing excessive tension on the catheter, which would result in movement of the catheter tip from the optimal position in the patient. You must perform an in-vivo calibration once the probe/catheter is in place. The probe/catheter should be replaced after it has been in place for 72 hours. 246 16 Monitoring Intravascular Oxygen Saturation CAUTION Do not apply excessive tension to any sensor cable or part of the catheter. Performing In-Vivo Calibration Perform an in-vivo calibration:
when you place the catheter in a patient. when the catheter has been in the patient for 24 hours. if the catheter was disconnected from the optical module. if any significant change in light intensity occurs that the monitor cannot correct automatically. Further Information for Both Modules Checking Suspicious Values If you have any doubts about the correctness of the measurement value, take a blood sample and have it analyzed using standard laboratory procedures. Calculating Oxygen Extraction Oxygen extraction is the difference between the measured SpO2 and SvO2 values. If you are monitoring SpO2 and SvO2, the monitor can calculate this value and display it as a numeric. To switch oxygen extraction calculation on or off, in the Setup Sp-vO menu, select Sp-vO and toggle between On and Off. If more than one SpO2 value is available, you must choose which value is used in the calculation. In the Setup Sp-vO menu, select SpO Source and select the required source. If one of the calculation sources becomes unavailable, the monitor displays the INOP Sp-vO CHK SOURCES for one minute. After this time, the calculation automatically switches off. If the missing source becomes available again, the calculation automatically switches on again. 247 16 Monitoring Intravascular Oxygen Saturation 248 17 17Monitoring EEG The Electroencephalograph (EEG) module monitors the patient's cerebral function by measuring the electrical activity of the brain. It provides the monitor with two channels of realtime EEG waves, EEG trend information in the form of Compressed Spectral Arrays (CSA), and up to eight of the following numerics:
Spectral Edge Frequency - The SEF is the frequency below which a defined percentage of the Total Power lies. The percentage is set in Configuration Mode. Mean Dominant Frequency (MDF) - The MDF is the mean value of the frequency which dominates the measured EEG. Peak Power Frequency (PPF) - The PPF is the frequency with the highest measured amplitude. Total Power (TP) - The TP numeric indicates the power in the measured frequency band. Percentage of total power in each frequency band:
Alpha waves (8 to 13 Hz) Beta waves (13 to 30 Hz) Theta waves (4 to 8 Hz) Delta waves (0.5 to 4 Hz). EEG Monitoring Setup 1 2 3 Plug the trunk cable into the EEG module. Prepare the patient's skin prior to placing the electrodes. Good electrode-to-skin contact is important for a good EEG signal, as the skin is a poor conductor of electricity. Wash sites thoroughly with soap and water. We do not recommend using ether or pure Shave hair from sites, if necessary. alcohol, because this dries the skin and increases the resistance. Use a skin preparation paste to remove skin cells and oil before placing the electrodes. Select the desired electrode montage in the Setup EEG menu or in the EEG Impedance / Montage window. 4 Attach the reference electrode first. 5 Place the electrodes on the patient's head according to the selected montage. Use electrode gel if you are not using pre-gelled electrodes. Remember to select a site where the signal will not be interfered with by muscle artifacts. 6 Connect the electrode connector end to the trunk cable. 249 17 Monitoring EEG 7 Check the electrode-to-skin impedance in the EEG Impedance / Montage window. 8 For good signal quality, keep all lead wires together and away from other electric devices and metallic bodies. Using the EEG Impedance/Montage Window To open the window, in the Setup EEG menu, select Show Montage, or select the EEG Montage SmartKey. The window may be configured to look slightly different on your monitor. 1 Electrode locations on the patient's head. The symbols represent the electrode-to-skin impedance. 2 Wiring and impedance values for the selected montage Choosing an EEG Electrode Montage 1 To activate one of the five pre-configured electrode montages, select the arrow beside the label in the EEG Impedance / Montage window and choose a montage from the list. 2 Attach the electrodes as illustrated in the EEG Impedance / Montage window.

If the limit is exceeded during monitoring, an INOP will appear and the graphic impedance indicator will change. To change the impedance limit, either use the pop-up keys that appear with the EEG Impedance / Montage window, or in the Setup EEG menu, select Impedance Limit to call up a list of selections between 1 and 30 kOhm, then select the required limit from this list. About Electrode-to-Skin Impedance Electrode-to-skin impedance is the main quality indicator for the measured EEG signal. During normal EEG monitoring, electrode-to-skin impedance is measured continuously and disconnected electrodes are detected. The impedance value for each single, independent signal electrode is displayed in the EEG Impedance / Montage window. If the measured electrode-to skin impedance of one or more electrodes is above the limit, an INOP will be issued. For impedance measurement at least two electrodes, plus the reference electrode, must be connected. 251 17 Monitoring EEG Impedance Indicators Electrode/Skin Impedance Symbol Color Electrode not connected Noisy signal Electrode connected, impedance above limit Electrode connected, impedance at or below limit red gray yellow green Displayed Impedance Value no value Action connect electrode 60 k (fixed) check electrode-to-skin connections measured value

(e.g. 3 k) check limit, check electrode-to-skin contact no action necessary About Compressed Spectral Arrays (CSA) The continuous EEG signal is sampled periodically and this value is stored in a frame. Each frame is processed using Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) to provide a frequency spectrum displayed as a compressed spectral array (CSA). The CSA window provides an overview of the patient's EEG values over time. It may be configured to look slightly different on your monitor. To view the CSA window permanently embedded on a Screen, select a Screen configured to display the CSA window. To view the CSA window over the current Screen, select the EEG CSA SmartKey, if configured, or select Setup EEG or Main Setup then Show CSA. 252 17 Monitoring EEG The CSA contains the following information Lead label CSA label Montage label Filter settings Buffer label and time Current SEF Threshold The energy at each frequency is computed and displayed as a spectral line for example, Fp1-T3, Fp2-T4 CSA1 or CSA2 according to EEG channel for example, Montage A for example, 1-30 Hz the buffer and interval between spectral lines on the CSA can only be changed in Configuration Mode EEG values are sampled at configured time intervals and displayed as color-coded trendlines.

Switching EEG Numerics On and Off Each EEG numeric can be individually switched on or off in the Setup EEG menu. 1 In the Setup EEG menu, select the numeric label. Select On or Off to switch between the settings. 2 Changing the Scale of the EEG Waves for Display This only changes the visual appearance of the wave. It does not affect the signal analyzed by the monitor or printed in reports or recordings. 1 In the Setup EEG menu, select Wave Scale to call up a list of wave scales. Select the required scale from this list. 2 Scaling information is displayed with each EEG wave. 253 17 Monitoring EEG If Show Gridlines is set to On in Configuration Mode, gridlines and the current wave scale values are shown with the EEG wave. If Show Gridlines is set to Off in Configuration Mode, the current wave scale is indicated by a size bar beside the EEG wave. Changing Filter Frequencies The low and high pass filters screen out undesirable interference from the raw EEG wave display. The current EEG filter frequency settings are shown in the header of the CSA. Changing filter settings affects the EEG wave and all the EEG numerics. Whenever the filter setting is changed, a filter change marker appears next to the spectral lines. To change the filter settings:
1 In the Setup EEG menu, select Low Filter or High Filter to call up a list of available frequencies. Select the required frequency from this list. Changing the Speed of the EEG Wave 2 The EEG measurement has its own speed control and is not affected by the wave speed settings of the other measurements. In the Setup EEG menu, select EEG Speed. Choose the required speed from the pop-up list. This defines the speed at which the wave is drawn across the screen in millimeters per second (mm/s). EEG Reports The content of EEG Reports is always the same and does not need to be configured. To print an EEG Report, in the Setup EEG menu, select Print Report. Alternatively, you can select the CSA and use the Print Report pop-up key to start the report. To modify the buffer and trendline settings on the CSA Report, in the Reports menu, select CSA On EEG Rep.. If you do not change these settings, the monitor will use the default settings with the trendlines for the SEF numeric on and the buffer time from Buffer C. CSA On EEG Rep. Buffer Trend SEF Trend MDF Trend PPF This menu entry lets you choose one of the three pre-configured buffer times switch the trendline of the specific numeric on or off EEG Safety Information WARNING Do not touch the patient, or table, or instruments during defibrillation. When connecting electrodes and/or patient cables, ensure that the EEG leads and connectors do not come into contact with other conductive parts or earth. 254 High-frequency Surgery - To reduce the hazard of burns in the high-frequency surgical neutral electrode connection, the EEG electrodes should not be located between the surgical site and the electrosurgical unit return electrode. 17 Monitoring EEG EEG and Electrical Interference CAUTION Interference from a non-grounded instrument near the patient and electrosurgery interference can cause problems with the waveform and the CSA. Radiated field strengths above 1 V/m and patient signals 50 V may cause noise on the EEG waves at various frequencies. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid the use of electrical radiating equipment in close proximity to the patient monitor. The noise does not influence the measurement accuracy. Interference from ECG can be eliminated by adjusting the low filter settings. 255 17 Monitoring EEG 256 18 18Monitoring BIS Bispectral Index monitoring helps to monitor the level of consciousness of a patient under general anesthesia or sedation in the OR and ICU. The BIS sensor is placed on the patient's forehead to capture electroencephalographic (EEG) signals from which several numerics are derived, including a single BIS value representing the level of consciousness. See the chapter on Specifications for the BIS intended use statement. The BIS Module provides the monitor with an EEG wave and the following numerics:
Bispectral Index (BIS). The BIS numeric reflects the patients level of consciousness. It ranges from 100 (fully awake) to 0 (suppression; no electrical brain activity). Signal Quality Index (SQI). The SQI numeric reflects signal quality and provides information about the reliability of the BIS, SEF, TP, SR, and Bursts numerics during the last minute. It ranges from 0 to 100%:
SQI < 15%: the numerics cannot be derived SQI 15% to 50%: the numerics cannot be reliably derived SQI 50% to 100%: the numerics are reliable. Electromyographic Activity (EMG). The EMG numeric reflects the electrical power of muscle activity and high frequency artifacts. EMG < 55 dB: this is an acceptable EMG EMG 30 dB: this is an optimal EMG
(note that the minimum possible EMG is approximately 25 dB). Suppression Ratio (SR). The SR is the percentage of time over the last 63-second period during which the EEG is considered to be in a suppressed state. Spectral Edge Frequency (SEF). The SEF is the frequency below which 95% of the Total Power is measured. Total Power (TP). The TP numeric indicates the power in the frequency band 0.5 to 30 Hz. The useful range is 30 - 100 dB. Bursts (BISx used with the Extend sensor only). The Bursts numeric helps you quantify suppression by measuring the number of EEG bursts per minute, where an EEG burst is defined as a period of activity followed and preceded by inactivity (at least 0.5 second). BIS Monitoring Setup There are two BIS solutions available for use with the M1034A BIS module: using the Digital Signal Converter (DSC) and BIS Engine or using the BISx. 257 18 Monitoring BIS Monitoring BIS Using the DSC and BIS Engine BIS Engine Cable 1 2 BIS Module 3 BIS Engine 4 Digital Signal Converter (DSC) 5 6 BIS Sensor Patient Interface Cable 1 If you are monitoring BIS with the DSC and BIS Engine, a. Connect the BIS Engine to the BIS module using the BIS Engine Cable. b. Connect the digital signal converter (DSC) to the digital signal converter port on the front of the BIS Engine. Use the attachment clip to secure the digital signal converter near, but not above the patient's head. c. Attach the patient interface cable (PIC) to the digital signal converter (DSC). 2 Attach the BIS sensor to the patient following the instructions supplied with the sensor. Make sure that the patient's skin is dry. Be aware that a wet sensor or a salt bridge may cause erroneous BIS and impedance values. A variety of sensors are available for use in the OR and ICU environments. 3 Connect the BIS sensor to the patient interface cable. As soon as a valid sensor is detected, the impedances of all electrodes are measured automatically and the results are shown in the BIS window. Monitoring BIS using the BISx BIS Module 1 2 BISx 3 4 BIS Sensor Patient Interface Cable 258 18 Monitoring BIS 1 If you are monitoring BIS using the BISx, a. Connect the BISx to the BIS module b. Use the clip on the rear of the BISx to affix it in a position convenient for your patient, not above the patient's head. 2 Attach the BIS sensor to the patient following the instructions supplied with the sensor. Make sure that the patient's skin is dry. Be aware that a wet sensor or a salt bridge may cause erroneous BIS and impedance values. A variety of sensors are available for use in the OR and ICU environments. CAUTION Ensure that the BISx does not come into prolonged contact with your patient's skin, as it may generate heat and cause discomfort. The BISx may remain connected to a patient during defibrillation as long as the sensor is not located between the defibrillator pads. 3 Attach the patient interface cable (PIC) to the BISx. 4 Connect the BIS sensor to the PIC. As soon as a valid sensor is detected, the impedances of all electrodes are measured automatically and the results are shown in the BIS window. Manufacturer's Information BIS Engine, DSC, BISx, the Patient Interface Cable and the BIS Sensors are manufactured by Aspect Medical Systems. BIS Continuous Impedance Check This checks:
the combined impedance of the signal electrodes plus the reference electrode. This is done continuously and does not affect the EEG wave. As long as the impedances are within the valid range, there is no notification of this check or its results. the impedance of the ground electrode. This is done every ten minutes and takes approximately 4 seconds. It causes an artifact in the EEG wave, and the message Ground Check is shown on the monitor screen during the check. If the ground electrode does not pass this check, another check is started. This continues until the ground electrode passes the check. If the Continuous Impedance Check interferes with other measurements, it can be switched off. To do this:
1 In the Setup BIS menu, select Cont. Imp. Check. Select On or Off as required. 2 259 18 Monitoring BIS CAUTION Switching the continuous impedance check off will disable automatic notification to the user of impedance value changes, which may lead to incorrect BIS values. Therefore, this should only be done if the check interferes with or disturbs other measurements. BIS Cyclic Impedance Check This measures the exact impedance of each individual electrode. It causes a disturbed EEG wave, and the INOP BIS IMPEDANCE CHCK is shown on the monitor screen during the check. Starting a Cyclic Impedance Check The Cyclic Impedance Check is automatically started when a sensor is connected. To manually start a Cyclic Impedance Check:
select Cyclic Check in the Setup BIS menu to toggle between On and Off, or select StartCyclicCheck in the BIS window. Stopping a Cyclic Impedance Check The Cyclic Impedance Check stops automatically if the impedances of all electrodes are within the valid range. To manually stop a Cyclic Impedance Check:
If you stop a Cyclic Impedance Check before the ground electrode has passed, a ground electrode impedance check will be started automatically. This cannot be switched off. select Cyclic Check in the Setup BIS menu to toggle between On and Off, or select Stop CyclicCheck in the window. BIS Window To open the BIS window, in the Setup BIS menu, select Show Sensor. The window may look slightly different on your monitor. The graphic in the BIS Window automatically adapts to show the type of sensor you are using, showing three or four electrodes as required. Each symbol in the graphic represents an electrode and illustrates the most recently-
measured impedance status of the electrodes. Although BIS may still be measured when the electrode status is red or yellow, for best performance, all electrodes should be green. In addition, if the measured electrode-to skin impedance of any electrode or electrode combination is above the limit, or if disconnected electrodes are detected, an INOP will be issued, either BIS HIGH IMPEDANCE or BIS LEAD OFF. 260 18 Monitoring BIS 1 Reference Electrode 2 Ground Electrode Signal Electrode(s) 3 4 Time of the most recent cyclic check BIS Impedance Indicators Electrode-to-Skin Impedance Electrode has no skin contact Too much signal noise, impedance cannot be measured Impedance above limit Impedance within valid range Symbol Color Action red gray yellow green Reconnect electrode, or check the sensor-

Press sensor more firmly to skin. If necessary, clean and dry skin. No action necessary In addition to the symbols, the impedance value in kOhm is also displayed. Changing the BIS Smoothing Rate The smoothing rate defines how the monitor averages the BIS value. To change the smoothing rate, in the Setup BIS menu, select Smoothing Rate then choose either:
15 sec: this provides increased responsiveness to changes in the patient's state. 30 sec: this provides a smoother BIS trend with decreased variability and sensitivity to artifacts. 261 18 Monitoring BIS Switching BIS and Individual Numerics On and Off To switch the BIS measurement on or off:
In the Setup BIS menu, select BIS and then On or Off as required. To switch individual numerics provided by the BIS Module on or off:
In the Setup BIS menu, select SQI, TP, SEF, SR, EMG, or Bursts and then On or Off as required. Changing the Scale of the EEG Wave Changing the scale only changes the visual appearance of the wave. It does not affect the signal analyzed by the monitor or printed in reports or recordings. The scale information shown depends on whether gridlines are switched on or off for display. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. 1 In the Setup BIS menu, select Scale to call up a list of wave scales. Select the required scale from this list. When gridlines are switched off, you can choose from the available scale values: 50 V, 2 100 V, 200 V, and 500 V. Scaling information is displayed as a vertical bar on the EEG wave together with its height equivalent in mV. When gridlines are switched on, scales are defined as a range, either 25 V, 50 V, 100 V, or 250 V. Scaling information is shown in the form of gridlines. Switching BIS Filters On or Off The low and high pass filters screen out undesirable interference from the raw EEG wave display. The notch filter removes line frequency interference. Filter settings affect the EEG wave and the SEF and TP values, but they do not affect the BIS, EMG, SR, and SQI values. The filter settings are set in Configuration Mode. You can switch all the filters on or off together in Monitoring Mode. 1 In the Setup BIS menu, select Filters. Select On or Off as required. 2 BIS Safety Information For information on the use of BIS in specific monitoring situations and on pharmacological responses to the anesthetic agents Nitrous Oxide (when used as the sole anesthetic agent), Ketamine, and Etomidate, please contact Aspect Medical Systems to request a copy of their publication "A Clinician's Guide to the Bispectral Index". Considerations for Use Due to limited clinical experience in the following applications, BIS values should be interpreted cautiously in patients with known neurological disorders, those taking psychoactive medications, and in children below the age of 1. 262 18 Monitoring BIS WARNING Conductive Parts: The conductive parts of sensors and connectors should not contact other conductive parts, including earth. High-frequency Surgery: To reduce the hazard of burns in the high-frequency surgical neutral electrode connection, the BIS sensor should not be located between the surgical site and the electro-
surgical unit return electrode. Defibrillation: The BIS sensor must not be located between defibrillator pads when a defibrillator is used on a patient connected to the patient monitor. Securing Cables: To minimize the risk of patient strangulation, the patient interface cable (PIC) must be carefully placed and secured. CAUTION Revisions: The system will only function if all component revisions are compatible. Otherwise, an incompatibility INOP is displayed. If the DSC has an older software revision than the BIS Engine, the DSC will automatically be upgraded by the BIS Engine. Do not disconnect the DSC from the BIS Engine, or disconnect the BIS module from the monitor, or switch the monitor power off within the first ten seconds after connection, as this will disrupt a possible software upgrade and cause damage to the DSC. Impedance Checks: Impedance checks may influence data acquisition of other electroencephalographic devices. 263 18 Monitoring BIS 264 19 19Assigning a Telemetry Device and a Monitor to One Patient It is possible to assign a monitor and a telemetry device to the same patient, resulting in the information from both devices being combined in one sector at the Information Center. This is called
"pairing" and when a telemetry device and a monitor are paired, the measurement data from the telemetry device will be displayed on the monitor screen. A telemetry device can be:
any Philips telemetry device (only for indirect connections, see below). a TRx/TRx+ Intellivue Telemetry system transceiver. an MP5 monitor or X2 Multi measurement module with a telemetry interface, declared as a telemetry device and with a telemetry equipment label. For complete user information, including accessory listings and specifications, for the M4841A/
M4851A TRx/TRx+ IntelliVue Telemetry Transceiver, refer to the Instructions for Use provided with the device. How Can You Combine Devices?
With an indirect connection, using standard telemetry transmission - the data are sent to the monitor via the Information Center and arrive with a delay of several seconds at the monitor. With a direct connection to the monitor an MP5 or X2 is connected via MSL cable to the monitor, or a telemetry transceiver with a short range radio adapter is assigned to an MP5 or X2 which is connected (Companion Mode) to a an MX600/700/800 host monitor the data arrive with a minimal delay on the monitor screen. Indirect Connection - Manual Pairing The telemetry device can be paired with the monitor at the Information Center or at the monitor. For detailed information regarding pairing and configuration at the Information Center, see the Information Center Instructions for Use. To pair the monitor with a telemetry device at the monitor:
265 19 Assigning a Telemetry Device and a Monitor to One Patient 1 2 Select Main Setup then Measurements Select Telemetry The Setup Telemetry menu will appear with only one entry Paired Equipment. 3 Enter here the equipment label of the telemetry device to be paired. Pairing at the monitor is only possible when the monitor already has a connection to the Information Center and the Information Center software version allows pairing at the monitor. Telemetry Data Window The measurements from the telemetry device are shown in the telemetry data window on the monitor. 1 A current alarm generated by the telemetry device. 2 Delayed - indication that data in the window is delayed 3 Telemetry data window WARNING All data presented in the telemetry data window are delayed for several seconds. If you need realtime data, for example for defibrillation, always use the monitor ECG instead of telemetry. As long as the ECG is being measured with the telemetry device there will be no ECG signal available at the ECG analog output. Direct Connection - Automatic Pairing The following direct connections are possible:
an MP5 or X2, declared as a telemetry device, and connected with an MSL cable to a monitor. WARNING When ECG is being measured with a telemetry device directly connected to the monitor, there will be no ECG signal available at the ECG analog output or ECG Sync Pulse output and no synchronization marks on the ECG wave. A No ECG Out message will appear in the ECG wave channel. When a telemetry device is connected to the monitor, arrhythmia relearning is initiated, and again when the telemetry device is disconnected. 266 19 Assigning a Telemetry Device and a Monitor to One Patient Controls on the Telemetry Device (e.g. nurse call) will be inactive when the device is directly connected to the monitor except in the case when the monitor has no network connection and data are transferred via the telemetry device. Pairing an X2 or MP5 With a Telemetry Interface to a Host Monitor An X2 Multi-measurement module or an MP5 using an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface will be automatically paired when it is connected to a host monitor and it has been declared as a "telemetry device" at the Information Center. When the X2 or MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor it will remain paired and the measurement data will appear at the host monitor in the Telemetry Data window. After the X2 or MP5 is disconnected from the monitor it may take over 15 seconds until their data is displayed at the Information Center. Pairing of a host monitor and a telemetry device, with all the related functionality, is only possible when the host monitor is using a wired LAN connection or a wireless LAN interface (but not using the IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface). The X2 or MP5 can also be manually paired to a host monitor without a direct connection, as described in Indirect Connection - Manual Pairing on page 265. Refer also to Use Models With Telemetry on page 269 for further related use modes. Functions Available When the Telemetry Data Window is Displayed Controlling the Telemetry Device from the Bedside You can change settings for a paired telemetry device at the monitor:
1 Select the telemetry data screen element Select the Setup Tele pop-up key 2 The Setup Telemetry menu will appear with the settings available for the telemetry device. These will normally include: adjusting heart rate alarms, ECG size control, selecting primary/secondary lead, relearning arrhythmia, and selecting the arrhythmia analysis mode. The Equipment label of the paired device is also shown here. Viewing and Silencing Telemetry Alarms at the Bedside When a telemetry device is paired with the monitor, telemetry alarms will also be indicated on the monitor, in addition to the main indication at the Information Center. If configured, a generic * TELE ALARM message will appear in the alarm status area with standard alarm tones. The * TELE ALARM message will have the color and * or ! coding corresponding to the severity of the alarm. The specific alarm message (for example ** HR LOW) will appear in the telemetry data window. If configured, alarms generated from a paired telemetry device can be silenced at the bedside. Either the monitor Silence key is configured to silence both monitor and telemetry alarms (must be configured at the Information Center) or the Silence Bed pop-up key will be available:
1 Select the telemetry screen element. 267 19 Assigning a Telemetry Device and a Monitor to One Patient Select the Silence Bed pop-up key. 2 Depending on your Information Center configuration, the Silence Bed key may silence both telemetry alarms and bedside alarms. WARNING Even when the telemetry data is not visible on the screen, you may be silencing telemetry and monitor alarms, if the Information Center and monitor are so configured. Suspending Telemetry Alarms When you select Pause Alarms or Alarms Off at the monitor, the alarms are off or paused for the bedside measurements. When you switch alarms off or pause alarms at the Information Center, both telemetry and monitor alarms are affected. Refer to the Information Center Instructions for Use for more details on the Suspend/Pause alarms behavior of the Information Center and telemetry device. Using Standby When you select Standby mode at the monitor, the bedside goes into Standby mode but the telemetry device will continue monitoring. Refer to the Information Center Instructions for Use for details on the Standby behavior of the Information Center and telemetry device. General Telemetry-related Functions The following functions are valid for directly and indirectly connected telemetry devices. ECG Source Tracking at the Information Center The Information Center continuously checks whether a valid ECG signal is coming from the monitor or the telemetry device. If you unplug the ECG patient cable from the monitor and plug it into the telemetry device, the Information Center will automatically switch to monitoring the ECG from the telemetry device. At the monitor, its own ECG measurement will be deactivated and the Setup ECG menu will no longer be accessible. When you unplug the patient cable from the telemetry device and plug it back into the monitor again, the Information Center will switch back to monitoring the ECG from the monitor. The ECG measurement will be activated again at the monitor. Note that in this case, as the screen switches back to the monitor's own measurements, the SpO2T measurement (if present) will no longer be displayed. In the same way the source is tracked when a telemetry device is directly connected to a monitor, then disconnected and vice versa. In case of ambiguity, a yellow INOP message !!CHECK ECG SOURCE indicates that more than one valid ECG source is active. 268 19 Assigning a Telemetry Device and a Monitor to One Patient Synchronized Settings If ECG is measured at the monitor, and then the patient is connected to a telemetry device for monitoring, the Information Center will use the monitor settings for the telemetry device. In general, the following settings will be synchronized:
Heart Rate ECG Arrhythmia ST QT SpO2T HR/Pulse Alarm On/Off, Heart Rate High/Low Limit, Primary Lead, Secondary Lead, Va Lead1, Vb Lead1, Lead Placement Analysis Mode, Asystole Threshold, Pause Threshold, VTach HR, VTach Run, PVCs/min, Vent.

Va and Vb leads are reset to default (V2, V5) if the configured Va or Vb lead for the telemetry device is not one of V1 through V6 If later the patient is disconnected from the telemetry device, and reconnected to the monitor again, any changes in the settings made in the meantime will be passed on to the monitor. In this way, settings continuity is preserved when the ECG source changes. Settings synchronization can only take place when there is no patient information mismatch between the monitor and the Information Center. If a Check ECG Settings or !! CHECK PAIRING INOP appears always check that the ECG settings, especially the paced setting, are appropriate for your patient. Use Models With Telemetry The standard use model combining a monitor and a telemetry device involves pairing the two devices so that the data measured by the telemetry device appears on the monitor screen - and at the Information Center in the same patient sector as the monitor data. The following variations are possible:
1 The monitor is paired with a telemetry transceiver - indirect connection 269 19 Assigning a Telemetry Device and a Monitor to One Patient telemetry data appear on the monitor 2 An MP5 or X2 is declared as a telemetry device and paired with an MX600/700/800 monitor -
direct or indirect connection MP5/X2 measurement data appear on the monitor it is paired with a telemetry transceiver cannot be used with the MP5/X2 3 A telemetry transceiver directly connected (SRR or for MP5 cable) to an MP5 or X2, that is connected (Companion Mode) to an MX600/700/800 monitor - direct connection telemetry data appear on the host monitor telemetry transceiver is paired with the host monitor but is assigned to the MP5 or X2 the MP5 or X2 must have no equipment label The different variations require different configuration settings; refer to the Configuration Guide for details. 270 20 20Trends Trends are patient data collected over time and displayed in graphic, tabular or histogram form to give you a picture of how your patient's condition is developing. Trend information is stored in the trends database for continuously-monitored measurements, such as ECG, as well as for aperiodically-
measured parameters, such as Cardiac Output. Viewing Trends Trend information can be viewed embedded as a screen element on specially-designed Screens, or you can open a trend window over the current Screen. To view trends embedded as a screen element, enter the Change Screen window, then select a Screen designed to show an embedded trend window. To open the tabular trends window over the current Screen, select Main Setup, Trends, then Vitals Trend, or select the Vitals Trend SmartKey To open the graphic trends window over the current Screen, select the Graph Trend SmartKey
. To open the histogram trend window over the current screen, select Main Setup, Trends, then Histogram, or select the Histo- gram SmartKey. The trend windows open displaying the most recent data and are updated as new data is stored. A timescale along the bottom or the top of the screen shows you where you are in the trends database. The preview column on the right-hand side shows the latest available measurement value. The preview column is updated every five minutes or whenever an NBP or other aperiodic measurement is completed. A question mark (?) beside a value means that the data may not be reliable, due perhaps to an INOP condition in the measurement. Your monitor screen may look slightly different to the examples shown in this chapter. 271 20 Trends Trends Pop-Up Keys When you open the graphic or tabular trends window, a selection of pop-up keys appears to let you navigate through the stored trend data and carry out trends-related tasks.

The displayed time period and resolution stay the same. open the current trend view in graphic form. The displayed time period and resolution stay the same. Viewing Graphic Trends A cursor spanning all measurements in the trend group helps you to navigate through the trends database and shows you your current position in the database. When the cursor is moved across the time line, the values measured at the cursor time are shown in the right hand column. In graphical trends, aperiodic measurement trends are shown as an asterisk, NBP has a special symbol. To use the trend cursor to navigate in time through the trends database, 272 20 Trends Select the graphical trend or the arrow pop-up keys to activate the cursor. 1 2 Use the arrow pop-up keys to move the trend cursor backwards and forwards in time, or 3 Place the cursor at a specific time by touching the graph. Viewing Vital Signs Trends 1 Aperiodic values are shown with a timestamp The currently-selected column is highlighted. The values can be configured to display in the same colors as the waves and numerics on the realtime display. Any values available for display before the next scheduled update are shown in the right hand column, with a timestamp in brackets. If more than one value is available for an aperiodic trend for a certain trend period, all measured values are stored in the database and the value closest to the timestamp is shown in the Vital Signs display marked with an arrow. To view the Vital Signs trend with one column for each NBP measurement (see Defining the Column Interval Using the NBP Measurement on page 277):
1 With the Vital Signs trend open, select Interval. 2 Select NBP from the pop-up list. 273 20 Trends Viewing Histogram Trends The title line of the window shows the label of the trended measurement and the resolution of the data; in the RR histogram above, 1 minute trend samples. The horizontal axis shows the range and unit of the displayed measurement. The vertical axis shows the percentage of time. The columns in the foreground show how much of the time the measured values fell into this range on the scale. For example, in the histogram above, the RR value was between 15 and 20 rpm during 70%
of the last four hours. The arrow mark over that column shows that the currently measured value is also in this range. These columns are displayed in the same color as the measurement data. The columns in the background show the cumulative percentage value: each of the foreground columns is added to the sum of those columns to the left of it. A question mark is displayed if less than two-thirds of the data are valid samples. The pop-up keys in the window can be used to change the measurement, the time period and the range. You can also print out a histogram report. The SpO2 histograms can be trend histograms or realtime histograms with 1 second samples. For SpO2 realtime histograms, the range cannot be changed. Setting Up Trends Trends are set up in Configuration Mode. You can make temporary changes to trends settings such as trend groups, priorities, or scales in Monitoring Mode. The general settings for all Trends are under Main Setup, Trends. Settings for a single segment in graphical trends or for the corresponding trend group can be made more easily in that segment menu. Making Segment Settings The Graphical Trends window is divided into measurement segments, each of which has its own settings. To enter the segment menu, select the left hand column of the segment, where the measurement label is displayed. 274 Expanded View 20 Trends in the Segment menu, select Expand to have that segment enlarged to fill the window. To expand the segment to fill the Graphical Trends window, In the expanded view, you can also highlight a measurement to make it more easily visible (for example when multiple ST trends are in one segment). To highlight a measurement, in the Segment menu, select Highlight repeatedly until the highlight is on the required measurement. To return the segment to its original size, in the Segment menu, select Expand again. Trend Scales for Segment Measurements To change the trend scales for a measurement in the current segment:
1 In the Segment menu, select the measurement label Select Upper to change the upper limit of the scale or Lower to change the lower limit of the scale. 2 Optimum Scale in the Segment menu, select Optimum Scale. To have the monitor automatically select an optimum scale for viewing, based on current values, This scale change is temporary. When the graphical trend window is closed the scale reverts back to the setting in Parameter Scales. To switch off automatic optimum scaling, in the Segment menu, select Optimum Scale again. Trend Group To add or remove measurements for this trend group or change the order of the existing measurements:

In the Segment menu, select No. Of Segments. Trend Groups The measurements grouped in trend groups define the trends displayed together in the Vital Signs or Graphical Trends windows and printed in trends reports and recordings. The sequence of the measurements in the group defines the order in which they are displayed. Measurements listed between dotted line separators are displayed overlapping. The trend group All contains all available measurements, you cannot change the order or selection of this group. 275 20 Trends To change the selection of measurements in a trend group, either use the Change Group setting in the Segment menu or:
1 Select Main Setup, Trends, then Trend Groups. Select the Trend Group you want to change and use the pop-up keys to Add, Change, or Delete the selection of measurements trended. 2 To temporarily change the order in which the measurements are displayed in a group, 1 Select Main Setup, Trends, then Trend Groups. Select the Trend Group and then the measurement you want to move and use the Sort Up/Sort Down pop-up keys. 2 Trend Interval The trend interval defines the resolution of trend data shown on the Screen. High-resolution data is especially suited for neonatal applications, where the clinical situation may change very quickly. In adult monitoring, where the patient's status typically changes more gradually, a longer trend may be more informative. To set the trend resolution, in the Vital Signs or Graphical Trends window, Select the Select Interval pop-up key and then select the required interval from the list. Trend Priority The monitor stores trend information for all monitored measurements, if configured to do so. (Data from VueLink or IntelliBridge modules cannot be included in trends when the label is a free-text label.) If your configuration restricts the number of measurements trended, you must choose which measurements will be included. A priority list is used to select the trended measurements. To see the measurement priority list for trending, 1 In the Main Setup menu, select Trends. Select Trend Priority. 2 To add measurements to the priority list, 1 2 Use the Sort Up and Sort Down pop-up keys to change the priority order. Select the pop-up key Add and choose from the pop-up list of available measurements. Trend Parameter Scales Parameter scales define how the trend waveform will appear on the screen and in trend reports. Separate scales can be set for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patient trends. To change the trend parameter scales settings, either use the Scale setting in the Segment menu or:
1 In the Main Setup menu, select Trends. Select Parameter Scales. Select the measurement or parameter you want to change from the list. Select the pop-up key Change to call up the Scale menu. In the Scale menu, select the parameter label you want to define settings for. Select Adult, Pedi, and Neo and use the pop-up keypad to enter new upper and lower scale definitions. 2 3 4 5 276 Graphical Trend Presentation 20 Trends Graphical trends and screen trends for measurements with compound values (for example ABP or CO2) can be viewed in line or band form. To change the presentation style, 1 Select Main Setup then select Trends. Select Global Style and choose Line to display the trends as a continuous line Band to fill the area between the trend lines, for example, between the systolic and diastolic pressures, with color. 2 This sample ABP trend shows the continuously-measured values for the systolic, diastolic and mean pressures displayed in band form. Defining the Column Interval Using the NBP Measurement You can have the NBP measurement determine the interval between the columns on the Vital Signs trend. Each NBP measurement will generate a column in the trend table. The values for the other measurements are added to the column to provide a complete vital signs set for the NBP measurement time. To use the NBP measurement to determine the column interval:
1 Select Main Setup then Trends. In the Trends menu, select Setup VitalSigns. In the Vital Signs menu, select Column and then NBP from the pop-up menu. 2 3 Setting Measurement and Period for Histograms To set the default for the measurement data to be used in the histogram, 1 Select Main Setup then select Trends. Select Setup Histogram. Select Data Source. Select either a realtime SpO2 or Trended Data. From the trended data list select the required measurement. 2 3 4 To set the default period for the histogram, Select Main Setup then select Trends. 1 Select Histogram. Select Select Period and select the required time period from the list. 2 3 When viewing a histogram, the data source, the period and the range can be changed using the pop-up keys. 277 20 Trends Documenting Trends To print a Vital Signs or Graphical Trends report, in the Vital Signs or Graph Trends window, select the pop-up key Print to print a report for the trend group currently on the monitor screen. Reports include the most recent information in the trends database and extend backwards in time according to the selected trend interval and your monitor's configuration. Trends reports can be printed on central or local printers. To make a Vital Signs recording, in the Vital Signs window, select the Print/ Record pop-up key, then select the Record Vitals pop-
up key. Vital Signs recordings print the trend data for the current group and trend period shown in the Vital Signs window. Trends Databases Depending on the purchased options and the monitor's configuration, the trends databases store information for up to 32 measurements for up to 72 hours. The values in the trends database are stored as measured by the monitor, they are not averaged values. The trend resolution defines how often a value is stored. In general, if more than one value is available for storage in the trends database, the most recent value is used. Some values in the trends are marked with arrows. This indicates that for this time period, more values were available and the most recent one is shown. Example database configuration In this example, we see that the monitor stores the most recent data at the highest resolution, older data are stored at a lower resolution.
"4 hours @ 12 second resolution" means that the monitor stores trend data every 12 seconds, for the most recent four hours. Aperiodic Trends Database Aperiodic trends do not count toward the maximum number of trends allowed by the trend configuration. Trend data for aperiodic measurements is stored in a separate database and timestamped with the measurement time. 278 20 Trends Trending Multiple-Value Measurements Some measurements generate multiple values, for example invasive pressure measurements can provide systolic, diastolic, and mean values. These values are trended as separate measurements. Screen Trends Trends configured to display permanently on special monitor Screens are called screen trends. The selection and number of measurement waves in the Screen Trend segment depends on your monitor configuration. Screen trends are color-coded to match the measurement wave and numerics, and they can be viewed in graphical, tabular, histogram or horizon format. If you do not see screen trends on the monitor Screen, select a different Screen, one that is configured to show screen trends. Screen trends are only available on specially designed Screens. Screen Trend information is taken from the Trends database. If you do not see a Screen Trend for a particular measurement on the Screen, check the trend priority list to ensure that this measurement is being trended. Setting the Screen Trend Time To set the ScreenTrend Time for all graphical, histogram and horizon screen trends ("global" trend time), 1 Select a screen trend then select Setup Trend, or select Main Setup then select Trends. Select ScreenTrend Time and select the required time: 30 minutes, one, two, four, eight, or twelve hours. This is now the Global screen trend time and defines the period of trend information shown for all screen trends. 2 To set a different ScreenTrend Time for a screen trend or a group of aligned screen trends, 1 Select a screen trend. Select Change TrendTime Select the required trend time. Selecting Global leaves the trend time set to the global screen trend time. 2 3 Changing the Selection of Screen Trends Displayed 1 2 Select the screen trend. Select Change Trend and select the required trend from the list of available trends. Select Blank to remove the selected trend from the Screen. If you do not see Change Trend in the screen trend menu, the trend is aligned to display with the measurement wave. Changing the wave automatically changes the trend. To display two or more screen trends overlapping, 1 Select the screen trend to open the screen trend menu, Select Change Trend followed by Add Trend and select a screen trend from the pop-up list. 2 Activating the Cursor for Screen Trends To activate the cursor for Screen Trends:
279 20 Trends 1 Select the screen trend. Select Activate Cursor. 2 You can now use the arrow keys to move the cursor across the time line. The values measured at the cursor time are shown next to the cursor. To de-activate the cursor, Select Main Screen. Changing the Screen Trend View To switch between tabular, graphic, histogram and horizon views, select the screen trend then select Change View and select the required view. Tabular View Aperiodic measurements such as NBP, C.O., C.I., and Wedge can be viewed as a screen trend in tabular form. The measured values and their timestamps are shown, with the measurement label. The trend time for tabular screen trends depends on the space available on the Screen. Up to 30 measurements or 12 hours information can be shown. Histogram View The histogram view presents a combination of graphical trend and histogram. The histogram is on the right hand side in a horizontal presentation with vertical gridlines representing 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. Each column shows the percentage of time that the measurement values were in a specific range. This range is represented by the column's position in the graphical trend gridlines. The arrow mark next to a column shows that the currently measured value is in the range covered by that column. If less than two-thirds of the samples are valid, a question mark will be displayed with the histogram, except when the histogram consists of intermittently measured data. Horizon View The horizon view presents trend information superimposed over a defined baseline or base range. This helps you visualize changes in your patient's condition since the baseline was set. The horizon view is made up of:
280 20 Trends a horizon, drawn in white, as a reference point or baseline to help you visualize changes in your patient's condition. The horizon can be set to represent your patient's current condition, or a target condition and can be a single value or a range. a graphical trend, displaying patient data for the set TrendTime (1). a trend indicator arrow, indicating how the patient trend has developed in the set time period
(10 minutes, 5 minutes or 2 minutes) (2). a deviation bar, showing how the currently measured value deviates from the set horizon (3). The height of the deviation bar is an indication of the extent of the change in your patient's condition relative to the (horizon) baseline. Your monitor may not be configured to show all elements of the screen trend horizon view. Setting the Horizon The horizon is the reference value to which deviations in the measurements are compared. 1 2 To set the horizon, select the horizon trend. Select Set High Horizon to select the upper horizon value. If the high and low horizon values are the same, the horizon is a baseline - if the values are different the horizon is a range. Set Low Horizon to select the lower horizon value. Auto Horizon to set the horizon for the selected horizon trend to the currently-measured value. Auto All to reset the horizon for all horizon screen trends to the currently-measured values. Set Horizon to set the horizon to a specific value from a pop-up list. Setting the Horizon Trend Scale The horizon trend scale is defined with respect to the horizon. If your horizon is set to 100 and you select 20 as the horizon scale delta, the upper limit of the horizon scale will be 120 and lower limit 80. To set the horizon trend scale delta, 1 Select the horizon trend. Select Set Scale Delta and select a value to define the distance between the horizon and the upper and lower scale limits. 2 Be aware that changing the horizon trend scale can change the angle of the trend indicator, without the patient's condition having changed. If a measurement exceeds the outer limits of the scale, the wave will be clipped and you must either reset the horizon or the horizon trend scale to display the values outside the scale limits. Setting the Time Period for the Trend Indicator Arrow The time period for which the trend indicator arrow is displayed can be set in the Trends window. 1 Select Main Setup then select Trends. Select HorizonArrowTime. Select 10, 5 or 2 minutes. 2 3 281 20 Trends 282 21 21Calculations Calculations are patient data that is not directly measured but calculated by the monitor when you provide it with the appropriate information. Your monitor can perform the following hemodynamic, oxygenation, and ventilation calculations. Ventilation Minute Volume (MINVOL) Compliance (COMP) Dead Space (Vd) Dead Space/Tidal Volume Ratio (Vd/Vt) Alveolar Ventilation
(ALVENT) Oxygenation Arterial Oxygen Content (CaO2) Venous Oxygen Content (CvO2) Arteriovenous Oxygen Content

Reviewing Calculations To enter the calculations review window, select the Oxygen Review, Vent Review, or Hemo Review pop-up key as required. The review window lists all the input and output values for each measurement in the calculations group. The timeline in the review window lists the times the calculations were performed. To review individual calculations, select the calculation in the review window and then select the Original Calc pop-up key. The storage time for calculations is the same as the trend database storage time configured for the monitor. So if trends are stored for 48 hours, the calculations will also be stored for 48 hours. Performing Calculations You must check that all input values are appropriate for your patient before performing calculations. 1 2 Check the calculation time in the Calc Time field. Select the Calcs SmartKey to open the Calculations window. When you enter the calculation window, this field will show either the current time or the time of the most recent available C.O. measurement, depending on your monitor configuration. To choose a different calculation time, select the Calc Time field. This calls up a list showing the timestamps of calculations performed earlier. Select a time from this list, or select Select Time to enter a time of your choice. The values from the Vital Signs database from the 30 minute period before the selected time will be used. To enter the current time, select the Resample Vitals pop-up key. If you choose the current time, the monitor will resample all the required values that are monitored. 3 Enter any values that must be entered or edited manually. Select the value field and then use the pop-up keypad to enter the required values. Select Enter to confirm each entered value. Manually-
entered values are marked with an asterisk (*). 285 21 Calculations Entering Values for Calculations The monitor automatically enters any available values for calculations. For aperiodically-measured values such as C.O., the monitor will re-use the most recent value in the calculation database until a new value becomes available. If the calculation time is the last C.O. time, values will be used from up to and including 30 minutes before the C.O. time, except for height and weight where the last available value will be used. To enter calculations values manually or edit automatically-entered values, select the value field to open the on-screen keyboard and use this to enter the correct value. Values edited manually are marked with an asterisk (*). If you enter a value that has more decimal places than allowed for a particular input, the value you enter will be rounded off after you select Enter. If you enter a value which cannot be stored, the message Value out of range will appear. Enter a new value. In hemodynamic calculations, if the systolic and diastolic pressures are manually entered, the mean pressure is calculated and marked with an asterisk (*). The formula used to estimate the mean pressure is [systolic + (diastolic x 2)] / 3. Automatic Value Substitution If the monitor cannot find a value required for calculation, it automatically tries to find an equivalent source for this value. For example, if C.O. is required but unavailable, the monitor automatically looks for CCO as a alternative source of C.O. values, or an alternative Pressure label may be used instead of ABP. The label of the value in the Calculations window does not change. Substituted values are marked with an asterisk (*). Automatic Unit Conversion The monitor needs consistent units for performing calculations. It automatically converts units where necessary before it performs the calculation, for example, pressures sourced in kPa, cmH2O, or mbar are automatically converted to mmHg, or to cmH2O for ventilation calculations. Manual Unit Conversion If you need to convert units for other purposes you can use the Unit Conversion window:
1 Select Main Setup then select Calculations. Select Unit Conversion. Select the field under the unit you know and use the on-screen keypad to enter the known value. The converted value automatically appears in the adjacent field. 2 3 BSA Formula Your monitor provides both the Boyd and Dubois formulas for the calculation of body surface area
(BSA). For calculations, the monitor uses the setting defined in the Patient Demographics menu. All calculation results that use BSA are indexed to the selected formula. To check the current setting, select the patient name to enter the Patient Demographics menu. BSA(B) indicates that the Boyd formula is used; BSA(D) indicates that the Dubois formula is used. 286 Comparing Dynamic Compliance Values 21 Calculations If you compare the dynamic compliance value (COMP) from the ventilation calculations with the value from the Spirometry measurement you may see a difference. This comes from the different sampling methods:
The algorithm in the ventilation calculations takes into account only two sets of paired AWP/
AWV data: those from complete expiration and complete inspiration, when AWF is zero. The algorithm in the Spirometry application takes into account all sets of paired AWP/AWV data
(125Hz sampling rate), over one complete breath cycle, and calculates an "averaged" compliance using a least square method. Documenting Calculations To send a Calculations recording to a connected recorder, in the Calculations window, select the Print/ Record pop-up key, then select the Record Calc pop-up key. Calculations recordings print the patient demographic information and the content of the current Calculations window on the recorder strip. To print a report for the calculation group currently on the monitor screen, select the pop-up key Print Calc. To print the review window, select the pop-up key Print in the review window. All the calculations in the current group will be printed in the report. Calculation reports can be printed on central or local printers. This example report shows the oxygen calculation group. Ventilation and hemodynamic calculation reports are similar. Patient information 1 2 Calculation group 3 Three columns of calculations input and output values, with times, units and ranges, where appropriate 287 21 Calculations 288 22 22High Resolution Trend Waves High resolution (hi-res) trend waves provide information for fast-changing parameters at a glance. They can help you to recognize trend patterns and to find interrelationships between measurements, by comparing changes in your patient's condition across different hi-res trend waves.This can aid in the early detection of cardiorespiratory and hemodynamic problems. The amount of data you can show on a screen depends on the display size and resolution: for example, on an eight inch (20 cm) wave trace on your monitor screen, you can view approximately six minutes of hi-res trend wave trace. The hi-res waves are drawn at a speed of 3 cm/minute. The availability of hi-res trend waves depends on your monitor configuration and on the options purchased for your monitor. Changing the Hi-Res Trend Waves Displayed To change the selection of hi-res trend waves on the Screen:
1 Select a displayed hi-res trend wave. Select the required hi-res trend wave from the pop-up list. 2 If there are no hi-res trend waves on the Screen, you must change to a Screen with hi-res trend waves. Hi-Res Trend Wave Scales Hi-res trend waves are either compressed realtime waves or fast numeric trends. Hi-res trend waves from compressed realtime waves include: Resp, CO2, ABP, PAP, CVP, ICP, AWP, anesthetic agents. Hi-res trend waves from fast numeric trends include: btbHR, SpO2, tcpO2, tcpCO2, Pulse, Perf, CPP, BIS, CCO, inO2, Delta SpO2. Hi-res trend waves from realtime waves use the wave scale as their display scale. Changing the wave scale changes the hi-res trend wave scale. Hi-res trend waves from numerics use a pre-defined display scale dependent on the patient category. Hi-Res Trend Waves and OxyCRG OxyCRG is a combination of three hi-res trend waves, btbHR, SpO2, and Resp, mainly used in neonatal monitoring. 289 22 High Resolution Trend Waves Printing Hi-Res Trend Wave Reports all VisibleWaves - prints all waves and hi-res trend waves currently displayed All Waves - prints realtime waves and hi-res trend waves for all currently-monitored measurements HiRes Waves - prints hi-res trend waves for the currently-monitored measurements To print hi-res trend waves on reports, you can choose to print either OxyCRG Waves - prints hi-res trend waves for btbHR, SpO2, and Resp. For each hi-res trend wave, a maximum of six minutes of measurement data will be printed. See the Printing Patient Reports chapter for more information on setting up reports. Hi-Res Trend Wave Recordings The selection of waves in hi-res trend wave recordings and the recording speed are defined by the pre-
configured HiResTrd recording template. See the Recording chapter for more information. To start a hi-res trend waves recording, 1 select the Recor- dings SmartKey, if configured, or select Main Setup then select Recordings. select the HiRes Recordng pop-up key. 2 290 23 23Event Surveillance Events are electronic records of episodes in your patient's condition. You can trigger them manually, or set them to trigger automatically during pre-defined clinical situations. Depending on the level of event surveillance available on your monitor, the information stored for each event episode can include:
waveforms for up to four measurements of your choice (depending on episode type, see Events Pop-Up Keys on page 293 for more details) numeric vital signs for all the measurements monitored any alarm conditions active when the event episode was triggered any annotations connected with the event. You can navigate through the event database to view events retrospectively, and you can document events on a recording or report marked with the patient name, bed label, and the data and time. When an MP5 is connected to a host monitor, event surveillance will be disabled. No new events will be detected and no existing events will be deleted. There is no data exchange between the host monitor and the MP5 for event surveillance. When the MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor event surveillance will resume and new events will be detected. Levels of Event Surveillance The appearance of the Events windows and menus and the settings you can select for events depends on the event surveillance option purchased for your monitor: basic event surveillance, advanced event surveillance, or neonatal event review (NER). This table lists the differences between the options. To determine which level of event surveillance your monitor has, select Main Setup then Event Surveill. followed by Setup Events and select the trigger group to see the available event groups. if the only event group listed is NER, your monitor has the Neonatal Event Review option if there is one event group and it is not NER, your monitor has the Basic Event Surveillance option if you see six event groups, your monitor has the Advanced Event Surveillance option. 291 23 Event Surveillance Event Functionality Event groups Basic Event Surveillance Option C06 1 Measurements per group 3 Triggers per measurement 1 Advanced Event Surveillance Option C07 6 (one group can be configured to NER) 4 2 Neonatal Event Review

The event group monitors the patient's signals to detect event triggers In basic event surveillance only one event group can be active at a time, with Advanced Event Surveillance all six groups can be active simultaneously. Active event groups monitor for event triggers. Event groups are defined in Configuration Mode. In monitoring mode the groups can be adapted to current conditions, for example episode types and threshold levels can be changed. Event Episodes 292 23 Event Surveillance When an event occurs, information for a predefined duration is stored. This is the event episode. It includes information from a defined period before the trigger, called the event pre-time. The episode time after the event is called the event post-time. If a further event occurs during the event post-time it changes a single event to a combined event (combi-event). Manually-triggered event episodes document patient information from the time leading up to the event trigger; they do not have a post-time. The episode type defines the level of detail captured in an event episode. The higher the data resolution, the shorter the period that the monitor can store in its memory. High-resolution data is suited for neonatal applications, where the clinical situation may change very quickly. In adult monitoring, where the patient's status typically changes more gradually, a longer trend may be more informative.

The monitor asks you to confirm this deletion. You cannot retrieve deleted events. access the list of available annotations to add a nursing note for the current event episode (Advanced Event Surveillance only). access the printing and recording pop-up keys to document events. You can trigger event capture manually, for example, if you want to record a patient's condition before a procedure. You can also set events to trigger automatically, when the patient's values cross a predefined threshold value, or when a particular measurement or procedure is carried out. If more than one trigger is available for the measurements in the active event group, the trigger condition may be At Least One Param., At Least Two Param., At Least Three Par., or All Four Parameter. If the trigger is At Least One Param. (this is short for "at least one measurement parameter"), the monitor starts an event capture if a trigger occurs in any of this event group's measurements. If the trigger is At Least Three Par., the monitor captures events when three or more trigger thresholds from this event group's measurements are violated. With Enhanced Condition you can not only select a minimum number of triggers to trigger an event but define which specific measurement triggers these must be. For example, At Least Two Param. will cause an event to be captured if a trigger occurs in any two of this event group's measurements - with Enhanced Condition you can select that only when triggers are in HR and SpO2 an event will be captured. 294 23 Event Surveillance The trigger condition for event groups is set in the monitor's Configuration Mode. If You Use Alarm Limits As Event Triggers The event capture is triggered automatically when your patient's values violate set alarm limits, or when a specified alarm condition, such as apnea, occurs. No events of this kind are triggered if alarms are switched off. Changing alarm limits changes the event trigger definitions. The asterisk symbols beside the trigger tell you about the alarm triggers:
*** indicates a high priority (red) alarm
** indicates a lower priority (yellow) alarm. This category includes short yellow arrhythmia alarms, which may be configured to be shown as one star alarms (*) on your monitor. Triggers without asterisk symbols are user-defined triggers. If You Set User-defined Threshold Triggers You can define event triggers that are independent of alarm limits. You must set a threshold value and a threshold time for the trigger. If you set the trigger threshold time to 12 seconds, the monitor triggers an event if the threshold is violated for more than 12 seconds. If You Set "On Measurement" Triggers You can set aperiodic measurements (such as NBP) or procedures (such as Cardiac Output) to trigger an event whenever they start. If You Set Use-defined Deviation Triggers You can define event triggers that are independent of specific limits and based instead on deviations from the current values. You must set a deviation and a period of time in which the deviation occurs. There are three types of deviation available: ANY Deviation, UP Deviation where only changes in a positive direction are detected and DOWN Deviation where only changes in a negative direction are detected. The deviation can be defined either in relative terms as a percentage, for example 10%, or as an absolute value, such as 10 bpm. Event Retriggering If a condition that triggered an event persists and the values remain beyond the trigger threshold, a new event will not be triggered. 295 23 Event Surveillance For a new event to be triggered by the same condition, the measured values for at least one of the triggers must cross back into the normal range and then recross the trigger threshold. Event Notification
(Advanced Event Surveillance Only). You can be notified when an event is detected. For each event group you can define a type of notification depending on the severity of the event conditions. The notification can be a status message with a prompt tone or a standard *, **, or *** alarm notification. These event alarms are handled exactly like measurement alarms; they can be silenced and are also suspended when all alarms are suspended. You should only use alarm notification for events which are comparable in severity to standard measurement alarms to avoid potential confusion due to too many alarms. Notification in the form of an alarm is not available when the trigger condition is At Least One Param.. Selecting None switches event notification off. Setting the type of notification, or switching notification off, is done in Configuration Mode.

Select the name of the current episode type and select an episode type from the pop-up list. The pre/post episode time for the selected episode type is displayed. Set the trigger for each measurement. Select each trigger name and select either an alarm trigger or a user-defined trigger from the pop-up trigger list. If you select a user-defined trigger, set the required threshold level and delay time. If a deviation trigger is configured, set the deviation and duration. Select Confirm to confirm your changes. Triggering Events Manually To manually trigger an event, select the SmartKey Manual Event and (for Advanced Event Surveillance) select the group in which the event will be triggered. For manually-triggered events, patient information for the time leading up to the trigger moment is stored using the settings of the assigned event group. Running a Car Seat Assessment Record In the NER group you can run a Car Seat Assessment Record (CAR). This is a special period of event surveillance using the current setup of the NER group. To start a CAR period:
1 Select the Start CAR pop-up key or SmartKey. 297 23 Event Surveillance 2 Select the required time period for the assessment. Select Confirm to start the CAR. 3 If the NER group was not active it will be activated automatically. During the CAR period an SpO2 histogram is also generated with 1 second samples. For general information about the presentation of data in a histogram, see Viewing Histogram Trends on page 274. The CAR SpO2 histogram is unique: it can only be accessed from the events function. It is generated from the beginning of the CAR period (contrary to the non-SpO2 histograms which are generated from trended data retrospectively at the end of a time period). Settings are fixed for this histogram and cannot be changed when viewing it. The Events Database The maximum number of events that can be stored in the event database depends on the database configuration and the level of event surveillance used. The event database is set up in the monitor's Configuration Mode. Events are stored in the monitor's event database for the configured lifetime, either 8 hours or 24 hours. Deleted events cannot be retrieved. Events are automatically deleted when:
their configured lifetime is over the storage capacity of the database is exceeded (storing a further event deletes the oldest event in the memory) a patient is discharged. As the event database is cleared when you discharge a patient, you should ensure that you have documented any events you require for the patient records before you confirm the discharge. Viewing Events To see a summary of all the events in every group in the event database, use the Event Summary window. To review all the events in a particular event group, use the Event Review window. To review individual event episodes in detail, use the Event Episode window. To start viewing events, either:
in the Main Setup menu, select Event Surveill. and then select the event view you require from the list, or select the Event Surveill SmartKey and then select the event view you require from the list. Event Summary and Event Counter Vertical bars mark events in the Event Summary window. The timeline shows the position of the stored events in the event database. Selecting this view activates a cursor that lets you navigate across the timeline. Use the Show Episode pop-up key to select individual events for review in the Event Episode window. It also calls up the events pop-up keys. 298 23 Event Surveillance The event counter counts the total number of events in the database. If more than one event group was set to trigger events within the event history, the event counter also counts the event group totals. Counting Combi-Events If one or more events occur during the same Episode Time, the monitor combines them and displays them as distinct events in one event episode, called a combi-event. The first event is the trigger event, and the others are follow-up events. For example, if an apnea event is followed 40 seconds later by a brady event, the brady event is not counted as a single event but as part of the apnea event. Counting Neonatal Event Review (NER) Events For neonatal events (NER, formerly "OxyCRG"), apnea events (A), bradycardia events (B), and combinations of these events are counted and classified by the event counter in the Event Summary. If they are associated with a Desaturation (D), this is also marked. Manual events (M) are counted separately. For example, A(D):2(1) indicates that two apnea events occurred and one of them was associated with a desaturation. Event Summary Window
(Advanced Event Surveillance only). The Event Summary window shows the number of stored events in each event group and the total number of events in the database. Vertical bars mark events on a timeline showing the position of the stored events in the event database. The symbol next to the group name indicates the activation and notification status:
symbol meaning group activated, notification set to ***alarm group activated, notification set to **alarm group activated, notification set to *alarm group activated, notification set to screen prompt group is activated, notification is switched off no symbol group not activated Selecting the Event Summary window calls up the events pop-up keys. Parts of the Event Summary window can also be embedded in Screens so that they are always visible, for example the Total row showing the total number of events with the bars on the timeline or the column showing all the groups with the activation and notification status. 299 23 Event Surveillance Event Review Window To enter the Event Review window, select the graphic event summary, if available, or select the events pop-up key Show Review. When you open the Event Review window, it automatically shows the event group with the most recent event. To view other event groups, select the pop-up key Review Group and select the group from the list. Event Episode Window To enter the Event Episode window, select the pop-up key Show Episode. Depending on the event group settings, the Event Episode window shows either 20 minutes of average trend event information, four minutes of high-resolution event information, or 15 seconds of realtime wave information. Follow-on event values 1 2 Trigger event values, highlighted 3 Timeline, showing episode Pre/Post-time 4 Active event group 300 23 Event Surveillance The event values to the left of the measurement channels show the trigger threshold set and the maximum amount by which this limit was exceeded. In this example, Desat 71<85 tells you that 71 was the lowest SpO2 value measured during the event time and that the Desat trigger threshold was set to 85 when the event was triggered. If the event was manually triggered, the event value boxes display
"manual". Annotating Events 1 2 To annotate an event, in the Event Episode window, select the pop-up key Select Annotatn. Select the required annotation from the pop-up list of available annotations for the currently active event group. Up to 20 annotations can be configured to let you add commonly-used clinical notes to event episodes for documentation purposes. To see the complete list of available annotations, in the Event Setup menu, select Event Annotation. Documenting Events You can print a report or make a recording of the events history stored in the database or of individual event episodes or a Car Seat Assessment Record. Documenting Event Review 1 2 In the Event Review window, select the pop-up key Print/ Record. This calls up the event documentation pop-up keys. For a graphic Event Review recording, select the Record Graphic pop-up key. For a tabular Event Review recording, select the Record Tabular pop-up key. For a CAR review report, select the Print CAR pop-up key To print an Event Report, select the Print Review pop-up key. Documenting an Event Episode 1 In the Event Episode window, select the pop-up key Print/ Record. This calls up the event documentation pop-up keys. 2 To make an Event Episode recording, select the Record pop-up key. To print an Event Episode, select the Print Episode pop-up key. Event Recordings Event recordings can be sent to a locally-connected M1116B recorder module. Event Review Recordings Each event review recording strip begins with a summary of the events stored in the event database. Recording strip annotation is explained in the Recording chapter. 301 23 Event Surveillance 1 Event total per event group 2 Event types 3 Total events in database 4 Event groups 5 Recording strip code 6 Patient information and medical record no. In graphic event review recordings, events are represented by bars, and each event group is printed on a separate channel. The timeline reflects the period stored in the database, either 24 hours (divided into 4 hour sections) or 8 hours (divided into one-hour sections). 302 23 Event Surveillance In tabular event review recordings, the events stored in the event database are shown in chronological order, with a number and time-stamp. The measurements in the event group are shown in the next columns, marked "Parameter 1, Parameter 2...", along with the event values measured at the time of the event. For each event, the trigger values are shown. This section of the recording is A4 or letter size, so that it fits in a patient file. Event Episode Recordings Event episode recordings are divided into four sections. The first section shows the patient information and the event group of the episode with the event values for the group measurements. The trigger symbol marks the event trigger. The second section (2 below) shows the waveforms recorded during the episode. The trigger moment is marked with a triangle and divides the episode into the pre/post time. Any calibration marks and grid marks on the screen are automatically printed on the recording. If there are four measurements in the event group being recorded, two waveforms will be recorded in two separate waveforms segments. 303 23 Event Surveillance The third section (3 above) shows the most important vital signs information, including numerics, active alarms, and any annotations made on the event episode. The fourth section (4 above) shows the numerics for all the currently monitored vital signs and any alarm conditions or INOPs active at the time the event was triggered. Event Reports Event reports can be printed on A4 and letter size paper on a printer connected locally or centrally to your monitor. Event Review Reports The event review report documents all the events stored in the event database for a selected group. 304 23 Event Surveillance Event Episode Reports The event episode report documents the patient information from the currently-selected event. See the Event Recordings on page 301 for an explanation of the report elements. 305 23 Event Surveillance Event Summary Reports
(Advanced Event Surveillance only). The event summary report shows a graphical view and a tabular view of all events in the database for all groups. 306 23 Event Surveillance 307 23 Event Surveillance 308 24 24ProtocolWatch ProtocolWatch (PW) is a clinical decision support tool. It allows you to run a clinical protocol which can monitor developments in the patient's condition, taking into account:
measured values from the monitor ProtocolWatch notifies you when certain conditions or combinations of conditions occur and it documents developments in a log which can be printed. values manually entered by you (for example manual temperature measurements, lab values) your assessment of patient status SSC Sepsis Protocol The SSC (Surviving Sepsis Campaign) Sepsis Protocol is a protocol implemented for the ProtocolWatch application. The SSC Sepsis Protocol is for use in screening for severe sepsis and monitoring of its treatment. It is a computerized implementation of the January 2008 Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock. Philips does not make any claims about their effectiveness to reduce the morbidity or mortality associated with severe sepsis. The SSC Sepsis Protocol assists you in recognizing the early signs and symptoms of sepsis by comparing the state of your patient to the defined criteria and then guides you through the recommended treatment protocol. Use of the SSC Sepsis Protocol requires thorough knowledge of the complete SSC Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock. Due to space limitations on the screen, the recommendations cannot always be reproduced in the full detail available in the printed and on-line guidelines. The SSC Sepsis Protocol is not a diagnostic or therapeutic tool and is not intended to replace the competent judgment of a clinician. The SSC Sepsis Protocol consists of three separate consecutive phases:
Severe Sepsis Screening - measurement values and patient status are compared to the Severe Sepsis Screening criteria. When these criteria have been met, the clinician confirms the presence of infection and sepsis-related organ dysfunction and can authorize entering the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle. Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle - the recommendations for sepsis resuscitation are listed and can be checked off as they are implemented. After achievement of all the sepsis resuscitation goals, or at the latest after 6 hours, the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle is completed and the Sepsis Management Bundle begins. Sepsis Management Bundle - the recommendations to maintain patient status are listed and can be checked off as they are implemented. The Sepsis Management Bundle ends when 24 hours have passed since the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle began. 309 24 ProtocolWatch Depending on the option your monitor has, it may be that only the Severe Sepsis Screening phase is implemented. If, at the end of this phase sepsis has been confirmed, and the patient is transferred for treatment in the resuscitation and management phases, you can transfer the current state, the settings and the log from the SSC Sepsis Protocol in the MMS to another monitor with the full version of the SSC Sepsis Protocol. The transfer of data and settings must be enabled in Configuration mode. WARNING Always consider the specific clinical context for your patient, before following SSC Sepsis Protocol treatment recommendations. The SSC Sepsis Protocol and this description are based on the SSC Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock from January 2008 and the SSC Bundle definitions from January 2005. To check the version of the Guidelines and Bundle definitions on the monitor, Select Main Setup then Revision then ProtocolWatch followed by SSC Sepsis Orientation On The Screen At the top of each window there is an orientation line showing the phases available on your monitor, with the currently active phase highlighted. You can also place the ProtocolWatch symbol, together with the currently active phase, on the main screen, in one of the numeric positions. This allows you to see at a glance which phase is currently active, even when no SSC Sepsis Protocol window is currently displayed. If you need to enter data or perform an action in an SSC Sepsis Protocol window, the symbol will turn into a SmartKey. Transferring Patients And Moving Manually Between Phases If a patient has already been diagnosed as having severe sepsis before connecting them to the monitor, you can select Main Setup then ProtocolWatch followed by Manual Transition to go directly to the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle to monitor treatment. Direct entry to the Sepsis Management Bundle is also possible using the Manual Transition function and the time into the selected bundle can be set. If a patient has been screened on arrival, for example in the emergency department, then transferred to Intensive Care when Sepsis is confirmed, the current state, the settings and the log from the SSC Sepsis Protocol will be transferred with the MMS to the new monitor. Should it be necessary, you can select the phase at the new monitor manually with Main Setup then ProtocolWatch followed by Manual Transition. The transfer of data and settings must be enabled in Configuration mode. 310 24 ProtocolWatch CAUTION It is not possible to transfer SSC Sepsis Protocol data from a monitor with release F.0 software to another monitor with release G.0 software or above, and vice versa. Suspending the Protocol for 24 Hours To suspend the protocol for 24 hours:
1 Select Main Setup then ProtocolWatch followed by Suspend for 24 hours. Select Confirm. 2 The protocol will resume activity after 24 hours with Severe Sepsis Screening. Severe Sepsis Screening As soon as an adult patient is connected to the monitor, and heart rate or pulse is being measured, the protocol begins to observe heart rate, temperature and respiration rate values in the background. If temperature or respiration rate is not being measured continuously, a pop-up window appears at 4-
hour intervals to ask for manually measured values. These values are all compared to the screening criteria: HR above 90, Temp above 38.3C (100.9F) or below 36.0C (96.8F), RR above 20. If any one of the values fulfills the screening criteria, the first Severe Sepsis Screening window appears:
The measured value which has fulfilled the criteria is shown highlighted (in the example above it is respiration). There is a check box for the infection signs and symptoms listed, if the monitor has measured values which meet the screening criteria, and for all signs and symptoms which cannot be measured by the monitor. Check the box if you can confirm that this sign or symptom is present and new. If the patient is mechanically ventilated, the Mechanically ventilated box must be checked. If you have manually measured temperature or respiration rate, you can enter the values using the Enter RR and Enter Temp keys. 311 24 ProtocolWatch Select Confirm when the check boxes reflect the current patient status. Select Remind 15 min if you want to delay filling out this screen. (When you enter the screen manually this key will be a Cancel key, as no action is required in this case.) Changing Conditions The window reappears if:
a previously fulfilled criteria is again fulfilled a new HR or RR criteria is fulfilled, the HR or RR value which previously fulfilled the criteria now triggers a ** RR HIGH, ** HR HIGH alarm or a ***TACHY xxx > yy alarm, after 8 hours (configurable to 12 hours) if at least one infection sign is still present. Two Or More Infection Signs Or Symptoms Confirmed If you have confirmed two or more infection signs in the first Severe Sepsis Screening window, a new pop-up window appears asking Is the patient history suggestive of a new infection?. If you select Yes, the next screen appears requesting a lactate measurement. If you select No, the screening phase continues and the first Severe Sepsis Screening window reappears in the situations described in Changing Conditions above. Lactate Measurement To enter the Lactate value, select the Enter Lact key. If the value entered is > 4 mmol/l the check box is automatically checked. Select Confirm when a value has been entered. What follows depends on the Lactate value:
If Lactate is > 4 mmol/l: the value meets the criteria for severe sepsis and a window appears recommending authorized clinician review before entering the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle. If Lactate is 4 mmol/l: a further window appears requiring your input to determine on the basis of blood pressure values whether the patient meets the criteria for severe sepsis. Hypotension Evaluation SBP decrease > 40mmHg (5.0kPa) below baseline. If the Lactate value was not above 4 mmol/l, the next window asks whether the patient has persistent hypotension. The protocol defines Hypotension as:
SBP < 90mmHg (12.0kPa), or MAP < 65mmHg (9.0kPa), or You can see this definition in the window by selecting Show Details. If the patient has persistent hypotension as defined, select Yes. This acknowledges that the patient meets the criteria for severe sepsis and a final window appears recommending authorized clinician review before entering the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle. If the patient does not have persistent hypotension, select No. After an hour a screen appears asking Is the previously acknowledged infection still present?. 312 24 ProtocolWatch If you select Yes, the window for the Lactate measurement will reappear. If you select No, screening continues - comparing heart rate, temperature and respiration rate values against the screening criteria. Authorized Clinician Review To review the protocol, select Protocol Log. You can also print out the log to document the screening phase. Select Confirm to complete the screening phase and, if you have the appropriate monitor option, continue to the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle phase. Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle The treatment recommendations from the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle are presented and the implementation of the recommendations is monitored. When the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle phase begins, the ProtocolWatch Screen automatically appears on the monitor (if configured and available on the monitor). The lower area of the screen contains:
a reminder list of the treatment recommendations - recommendations which have been fulfilled are shown in gray, overdue recommendations are shown in orange a timer showing the time already passed in this phase three horizon trends for MAP, CVP and ScvO2 or SvO2, if these measured values are available a list of the latest manually entered values - if you select this list you will open the Manual Entry Log window where the last 24 manually entered values are shown for reference If ScvO2 or SvO2 and CVP are not being continuously measured, a pop-up window appears at hourly intervals to ask for a manually measured value. Monitoring the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle Recommendations When you select the lower area of the ProtocolWatch Screen, the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle window appears. If you do not have the ProtocolWatch Screen displayed, the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle window appears automatically once an hour. 313 24 ProtocolWatch Select the Enter Lact key to enter a lactate value. When you have entered a value, or if a lactate value had previously been entered, the box is checked. Check the Take Blood Cultures box when you have taken blood cultures. Check the Administer Intravenous Antibiotics box when you have started broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy. The remaining three recommendations are automatically compared to the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle criteria, if the measurements are available on the monitor. A box is checked when the corresponding recommendation has been fulfilled. Depending on your configuration, continuously measured CVP values may be disregarded if they exceed a set limit. Whether this is so, and which limit is applied, is set in the monitor's Configuration mode. If you have manually measured ScvO2 or CVP, you can enter the values using the Enter ScvO2 and Enter CVP keys. The box is checked automatically if the value fulfills the recommendation. The boxes for MAP, ScvO2/SvO2 and CVP can also be checked manually (for cases where the monitor does not measure them) but only when the timer has reached 4 hours to ensure that these values are achieved and maintained mid-term. Check these boxes if the recommendation has been fulfilled. To see more details about the recommendations, select the Show Details key. Select Confirm when the check boxes reflect the current treatment status. Checking The Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle Window During the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle you can open the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle window at any time to check the status or to make entries. The recommendations are shown as follows:
Recommendations which are not yet fulfilled are shown in black. They also appear in the list on the lower area of the ProtocolWatch Screen. Recommendations which are overdue are shown in orange. Recommendations which have been fulfilled and confirmed are shown in gray. They no longer appear in the list on the lower area of the ProtocolWatch Screen. Previewing the Sepsis Management Bundle At any time during the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle you can preview the Management Bundle in order to see which recommendations will follow there. Select the Preview Managmnt key. Ending The Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle When all recommendations have been fulfilled and confirmed, or when 6 hours have passed since the bundle started, the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle is ended. You are asked to confirm with the Yes key that the Sepsis Management Bundle should now be started. If you select No, the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle is extended for 1 hour. Sepsis Management Bundle The stabilization recommendations from the Sepsis Management Bundle are presented and the implementation of the recommendations is monitored. 314 24 ProtocolWatch When the Sepsis Management Bundle phase begins, the ProtocolWatch Screen is automatically updated (if configured and available on the monitor). In the lower area of the Screen, the list of recommendations for the Sepsis Management Bundle replaces the list for the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle. The timer shows the combined time for both phases. Monitoring the Sepsis Management Bundle Recommendations When you select the lower area of the ProtocolWatch Screen, the Sepsis Management Bundle window appears. If you do not have the ProtocolWatch Screen displayed, the Sepsis Management Bundle window appears automatically once every six hours. The Low Dose Steroids for septic shock per policy recommendation and/or the Drotrecogin Alfa per policy recommendation may not appear if they have been configured not to do so for your hospital. Check the Low Dose Steroids administered box when you have started steroid therapy or the Low Dose Steroids contra-indicated box if this treatment is contra-indicated for your patient. Check the Drotrecogin Alfa administered box when you have started recombinant human activated protein C therapy or the Drotrecogin Alfa contra-indicated box if this treatment is contra-indicated for your patient. The boxes for Maintain Glucose <8.3mmol/l (150 mg/dl) and Maintain Insp. Plateau Pressure
<30cmHO can only be checked when the timer has reached 20 hours to ensure that the stabilization of these values is achieved long-term. Check these boxes if the recommendation has been fulfilled. Recommendations which have been fulfilled are shown in gray with the time fulfillment was entered. To see more details about the recommendations, select the Show Details key. Select Confirm when the check boxes reflect the current treatment status. Ending The Sepsis Management Bundle The Sepsis Management Bundle normally ends 24 hours after the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle started, as documented by the bundle timer on the ProtocolWatch screen. You are asked to confirm with the Yes key that routine monitoring should now resume. By selecting No you can extend the Sepsis Management Bundle phase by an additional 6 hours. 315 24 ProtocolWatch After completion of the Sepsis Management Bundle a sepsis standby phase begins which allows time for further patient stabilization and recovery. During this phase Severe Sepsis Screening is suspended. The standby phase is by default 7 days but the length can be adjusted in Configuration Mode. Viewing And Printing The Protocol Log The Protocol Log stores all user interactions, alarms and phase transitions while the SSC Sepsis Protocol is running. To view the Log select Main Setup then ProtocolWatch followed by Protocol Log You can choose between three different views of the Protocol Log:
Summary View - a short form which does not include when the windows were triggered Full View - a complete log of all user interactions, alarms and phase transitions Phase View - you can view log entries for one phase by selecting that phase on the orientation line When the Log consists of several pages, you can move through the pages with the Previous Page and Next Page keys. To start a Protocol Log printout, select Print. The log is cleared whenever a patient is discharged. Always Discharge Patients It is essential that patients are discharged when monitoring ends. As a reminder, the monitor can be configured to display a pop-up window when the monitor has been switched off, in Standby mode, or not monitoring basic vitals for a certain time. The window asks whether a new patient is being monitored and offers a pop-up key to discharge the previous patient if this is the case. The window must be configured in Configuration Mode. When the previous patient is discharged, this clears the protocol log, resets the timers and deletes manually entered measurement values. 316 25 25Recording The M1116B plug-in recorder records numerics for all active measurements and up to three waveforms. You can use it for local recording mounted in the monitor's FMS. 1 M1116B Plug-in Recorder 2 Continue LED - flashes if a continuous recording is ongoing 3 RUN/CONT key - starts a delayed recording or makes the current recording continuous STOP key - stops the current recording 4 Central Recording For central recording from the bedside, your monitor must be connected via a network to an Information Center.

All available leads are recorded sequentially in the standardized lead order. The recording is realtime, that is, the information recorded is not simultaneous. 319 25 Recording Creating and Changing Recordings Templates To save you defining recording settings each time you start a recording, you can create templates for commonly-used types of recordings in the Setup Recording menu. You can create templates for one delayed recording, one alarm recording, three realtime recordings (two for MP20/30), and one high resolution recording. All ECG Waves recordings do not need to be configured, they always use the same format. Changing recordings templates changes the settings that will be used each time a recording of this name is triggered. 1 Select the Main Setup permanent key to call up the Main Setup menu. Select Recordings to enter the Setup Recording menu. Select the name of the template you want to create or change. Each recording name is linked to a recording type, delayed, alarm, realtime, and hi-res trends. Recording names can be changed in the monitor's Configuration Mode. 2 3 4 Design the template by selecting each menu item and entering the information for the template. Recorder: choose which recorder the recording will print to (Local, Central 2-Ch, or Central 4-
Ch recorder, or Printer (for realtime reports in alarm recording only)). Channel 1, Channel 2, etc.: choose which waveform to record in each channel. If the wave assigned to a recording channel in a particular template is not available when a recording is triggered, the channel is left blank on the recording strip. The pop-up list of available (currently monitored) waves differs according to the recording type:
Realtime, delayed and alarm recordings: the list shows all the currently available waves. High-resolution recordings: the list shows all the available high-resolution waves. In addition to the currently available waves, you can choose from several other settings which make an automatic allocation when the recording starts:
Alarm Par will always record the measurement in alarm in the chosen recorder channel Primary Lead will always record the current primary lead in the chosen recorder channel SecondryLead will always record the current secondary lead in the chosen recorder channel Any Agent will always record the currently selected anesthetic agent. For high-resolution recordings only the Any Agent setting is available. Overlap: define whether the recorded waveforms will be printed overlapping or beside each other. Delay Time: Delayed recordings start documenting on the recorder strip from a pre-set time Speed: choose the recording print speed. before the recording is started. This interval is called the "Delay Time" and can be set as specified in Overview of Recording Types on page 319. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. Run Time: see how long this type of recording is configured to run. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. Continuous recordings run indefinitely. Central Config: if available in the General menu, select this setting to use the recording settings made for the centrally-connected recorder. 320 Changing ECG Wave Gain 25 Recording The ECG Gain setting in the General Recording Setup window defines how every recorded ECG wave, irrespective of template or recording type, will appear on the recorder strip. This does not affect the displayed ECG wave, or printed ECG reports. To change the ECG gain setting for recordings, 1 In the Setup Recording menu select General. Select ECG Gain. Select the required setting:
Auto: the wave recording will use the same scale as the ECG wave on the monitor screen 5 mm/mV, 10 mm/mV, 20 mm/mV: the wave recording will use a scale of 5, 10, or 20 millimeters per millivolt. 2 3 Recording Priorities Manually-started recordings have priority over automatically-started recordings. If an automatically-triggered alarm recording is running, and a realtime or delayed recording is manually started, the alarm recording is stopped and the manually-requested recording is started. More recent manually-started recordings have priority over older manually-started recordings. If a manually-started recording is running, and another manually-started recording is triggered, then the older recording is stopped and the more recent manually-started recording is started. Alarm recordings are prioritized according to alarm priority. If an alarm recording triggered by a yellow alarm is running and a new alarm recording is triggered by a red alarm, the yellow alarm recording is stopped and the red alarm recording is started. Recording Strip The information printed on the recording strip includes the patient name and MRN, bed number, date and time of recording, recording speed, and recording code. Active alarm and INOP messages as well as numerics for all currently monitored measurements are also printed. Recording strip annotations are printed at the beginning of the recording strip and updated at regular intervals, every 15 minutes for recordings made at speeds lower than 6.25 mm/s, and every 60 seconds for recordings made at speeds greater or equal to 6.25 mm/s. Recording Strip Code The recording strip code printed in the first line of the initial annotation has up to seven characters, specifying recording type, operating mode, application area, patient category, and delay time, if applicable. 321 25 Recording Recording type Operating mode Application area Patient category Code 90 8A 0B 91 M D C S I O C N A P N Meaning Realtime Delayed Alarm Context (Procedures) Monitoring Demo Configuration Service ICU OR CCU NICU Adult Pediatric Neonatal Recorded Waveforms A selection of up to three waveforms is recorded, marked with wave labels and wave scale information. Wave scale information can be in the form of a calibration bar, like the 1 mV calibration bar for ECG, or calibration steps before the waveform starts. Maintaining Recording Strips Recording ink sometimes fades when covered with transparent tape. Avoid covering any part of a recording that is clinically relevant (annotation or waveforms) when taping a recording strip to a patient record or other patient documentation. 322 Reloading Paper M1116B 1 Use the latch on the right side of the recorder door to pull the door open. 25 Recording 2 Remove the empty core. 3 Insert a new roll so that it fits snugly into its housing and the paper end is feeding from the top. Recommended paper: 40477A and 40477B. Pull out some paper and fold along the front edge at a 45 angle. This makes it easier to feed the paper under the roller as shown. Feed the paper through and pull some paper out from the top of the roller. 4 5 6 Close the recorder door. 7 To test if paper is loaded correctly, start a recording. If no printing appears, paper may be loaded backwards. Try reloading the paper. Recorder Status Messages Recorder Status Messages For example:

Report names are shown only for reports that have been correctly set up. Data from the time of the print request is printed, even if the print job is delayed in the printer queue. Your monitor can also be set up to automatically print all reports when a matching printer is available. To set this up 1 Select Main Setup then select Reports Select Auto Print Dbs. Always will print all reports when a matching printer is available. Host Only will print the reports stored on the host monitor when a matching printer is 2 available. Reports stored in the companion database (shown in gray on the Reports Job List) must be manually sent to the printer. See Checking Report Status and Printing Manually on page 330. Never will print no reports automatically; all reports stored in the host or companion database must be manually sent to the printer. See Checking Report Status and Printing Manually on page 330. Printout Location Depending on availability, reports can be printed on locally connected printers, printers connected to the Information Center or the Application server, an external PC-based print server with Philips server software or into the print database. Print jobs stored in the database are automatically printed when a print device with a matching paper size becomes available. Print jobs in the print database are not deleted after a patient discharge. A new patient can be admitted and their reports are saved in addition to the previous reports. Always admit your patient so that reports can be clearly assigned to a patient. When an X2 or MP5 is connected to a host monitor, reports requested or stored on the X2 or MP5 can be printed via the host monitor. Reports requested on the X2 or MP5 when connected to a host monitor will not show any patient alarms or INOPs. In order to see alarms, reports should be requested on the host monitor. 325 26 Printing Patient Reports Starting the Different Types of Report Report types Vital Signs Report Graphic Trends Report Events Reports Report contents depends on selected trend group, data resolution, and period.

There are two types of Auto Reports:
Scheduled Reports, which print at predefined intervals, and End Case Reports, which print when a patient is discharged using the End Case function. An Auto Report can be both a Scheduled Report and an End Case report. To set up Auto Reports, 327 26 Printing Patient Reports 1 2 3 4 Select Main Setup, Reports, then Auto Reports and select the Auto Report you want to set up (A, B, C, or D). Select Report and assign a report type to the Auto Report. Select End Case Report and switch to On if you want the selected report to print automatically when you select End Case to discharge a patient. Switch End Case Report to Off if the report is a Scheduled Report only. Select Scheduled Rep. and toggle to On if you want the selected report to print at predefined intervals, starting at a predefined time of day. The start time you set applies for every following day. For example, if you set a start time of 07:00 and a repeat time of six hours, the first report will print at 07:00 every day, the next at 13:00 and so on. To set the time of day at which you want the report to print every day: select Start Hour and Start Minute and select the required time from the pop-up list To set the time interval in minutes between two scheduled reports: select Rep. Freq. (hrs) and Rep. Freq. (min) and select the time interval from the pop-up list. If you are setting up an end case report, these settings will be inactive ("grayed-out"). Switch Scheduled Rep. to Off if the report is an End Case Report only. 5 Repeat the procedure for all Auto Reports you want to set up. All Auto Reports or Scheduled Reports set to On print automatically at the predefined trigger. Be aware that the monitor's memory for reports is limited. If the memory is full, Auto Reports cannot be printed and the information may be lost. Setting Up Individual Print Jobs To adjust the appearance of individual print jobs, in the Reports menu, Select Main Setup, Reports, then Setup Reports to enter the Setup Reports menu. 1 Select Report and then select the report you want to set up. Select Report Type and then select the reports template you want the report selected in Step 2 to use. The selection of templates listed depends on the report type selected. Each template includes patient demographic data, and each Realtime Report also includes alarm and INOP information. In addition, the templates include:
VisibleWaves: all waves currently visible, in the order they appear on the screen. All Waves: all measured waves. RT Waves: all currently measured realtime waves, according to the monitor's priority list. HiRes Waves: all measured HiRes waves. OxyCRG Waves: the OxyCRG/Neonatal Event Review waves. Vital Signs: trend information in tabular form. Graph Trend: trend information in graphic form. ECG reports: ECG3X4, ECG6X2, ECG12X1, ECG4X2, ECG8X1,ECG12X1 (2P) EEG reports: EEG Report. Episode: a single patient event episode. Review: an overview of patient events Alarm Limits: a list of all currently set alarm limits. 2 328 26 Printing Patient Reports 3 4 5 Select Report Size to set the paper size to be used for the report: Unspecified to use the default size for the template chosen, Universal, A4, Letter, LrgUniversal, A3, or Ledger. The list of available sizes depends on the report type selected. Select Orientation to set the orientation of the report printout: Unspecified to use the default size for the template chosen, Landscape or Portrait. Select Target Device and choose which printer the print job will be sent to: Unspecified to use the default printer, or choose from the list of printer names defined at the Information Center or in the monitor's Configuration Mode (for example, Remote 1 or Database). Some settings may be inactive ("grayed-out") in this menu for reports that can only be started in a special window. Checking Printer Settings The printer settings for your monitor are defined in Configuration Mode. The printer settings Paper Size, Resolution, Color Support, and Duplex Option for the active printer are visible but inactive
("grayed-out") in the Setup Printers menu. When Print Database is selected as active printer only the Paper Size setting will be shown. To enter the Setup Printers menu, in the Reports menu, select Setup Printers. Printer names for locally-connected printers can be defined in Configuration Mode. You can see whether a specified printer is centrally or locally connected in the Setup Printers menu under Port. If
"Local" is included in the port name, e.g. Local 2, that indicates locally-connected printers, and
"Remote", e.g.Remote 1, indicates centrally-connected printers. Printing a Test Report A test report can be printed in Configuration mode, refer to the Service Guide for details. Switching Printers On Or Off for Reports You can enable or disable printer status to switch individual printers on or off for report printouts. In the Setup Printers menu, select Printer and then select the name of the device you want to 1 switch on or off for Reports printing from the pop-up list. Select Printer Status to toggle between the settings Enabled and Disabled. If you set this to Disabled, no reports will be printed to the named printer. If the monitor detects that no printer of a particular type is available, the Printer Status setting will automatically be set to Disabled and "grayed out". 2 Dashed Lines on Reports 329 26 Printing Patient Reports If a section of a wave on a report is drawn with dashed lines, this tells you that a setting that affects the appearance of the wave on the screen was changed while the report was printing. For example, if you change the wave scale while a report is printing, the wave scale and wave size are changed immediately on the monitor screen and on the report. To indicate that the scale information printed at the beginning of the report no longer matches the currently used scale, the wave will be printed using dashed lines, starting from the moment the change took place. Some examples of settings that cause dashed lines in reports if changed during printing are: Filter mode, ECG lead placement, wave scale, measurement unit, paced/non-paced setting, and measurement mode. Note that as ECG waves are drawn with a fixed gain on reports (either 10 mm/
mV or 20 mm/mV), changing the ECG wave scale will not cause dashed-line reports. To avoid dashed lines on reports, wait 15 seconds after changing a setting before you trigger a report. Unavailable Printer: Re-routing Reports If you send a report to be printed on a printer that is not available, for example, because it has run out of paper, this print job is suspended and stored in the monitor's memory. If the target device of this print job was set to Unspecified, the monitor will periodically try to resend the print job to the first printer listed in the Setup Printers menu under Printer that is set to Enabled and that has paper of the correct size. To allow the report to print, you must either solve the problem with the target printer, or re-route the print job to another printer with paper of the correct size. To re-route a print job, Enable the new target printer by selecting it in the Setup Printers menu and toggling to Enabled. As the monitor tries to send the report to the printers in the order they are listed, you must make sure that all the printers above the new target printer are disabled. If the target device of the print job was set to a specific printer, re-routing is not possible. Checking Report Status and Printing Manually A list of all print requests which are waiting, printing or stored can be viewed in the Reports Job List. To view the list, in the Reports menu, select Reports Job List. The following information is displayed for each print request:
Report title Patient name (except for system reports such as the battery status report) Request date and time Report paper format Job status: Preparing, Printing, Waiting, In Database, In Companion, Retry, Cancelling, Error. Individual reports can be deleted from the list with the Delete Report key, and all reports with the Delete All Repts key. CAUTION The Reports Job List includes privacy information, in the form of the patient name with the related report title and date. It is advisable to provide controlled access to this data to ensure confidentiality. 330 26 Printing Patient Reports If an MP5 or an X2 is connected to a host monitor, all print requests which are stored in the print database are shown "grayed out" on the Reports Job List and will not be deleted with the Delete All Repts key. Printing Manually Those jobs shown in black will be printed automatically when a matching printer is available. If the Auto Print Dbs setting is Host Only or Never, some or all reports will not be printed automatically and will be shown in gray. Any jobs shown in gray must be printed manually; to do this, 1 In the Reports Job List, select the required report Select Print Report. 2 Selecting Print All Reps will send all reports to the printer.

The requested report will start printing when the printer becomes available. The requested report does not fit into the print database. You can select another printer to print the report (see Unavailable Printer: Re-routing Reports on page 330). Alternatively you can delete another report from the Reports Job List (using the Delete Report key) to create space for your report. A report cannot be started on the requested printer. One of three reasons is shown in the status message:
data unavailable - the connected X2 or MP5 has been removed before the data for the report was transferred. printer unavailable - make sure the printer is plugged in, switched on, and has paper loaded. data requisition error - an internal error has caused data required for the report to be unavailable, try starting the report again. Print job on <Printer Name>

Sample Report Printouts Each report header contains the patient's bed label, last name and first name, middle name (if there is enough space) the patient ID, the date and time, and the name of the report. The report footer contains the hospital label and page number, and the last page contains a note to mark the report end. The monitor may be configured to leave a space on the top left or right of the report printout to enable you to stick a patient address label on it. This setting is called the Addressograph and it can only be changed in the monitor's Configuration Mode. 332 Alarm Limits Report 26 Printing Patient Reports 1 Measurement labels, with alarms off symbol where alarms are switched off 2 Graphic view of current alarm limits in relation to currently monitored measurement value 333 26 Printing Patient Reports Realtime Report Patient demographic information, time stamp 1 2 Active Alarms and INOPs, followed by vital signs 3 Measurement waves section 334 Cardiac Output Report ECG Reports 26 Printing Patient Reports Patient information 1 2 Numeric block 3 Wave area Below the header on ECG Reports, the numeric block shows the current HR, PVC, and ST values. The wave area shows the printed waves for all available ECG leads. A 1 mV calibration bar is printed at the beginning of each wave. With the 3X4, 6X2, and 2X4 formats, a rhythm stripe prints a longer section of the ECG wave from the primary ECG lead for ECG rhythm evaluation. The ECG signal bandwidth, the patient's paced status, the ECG gain, and the print speed are printed at the bottom of the wave area. Pace pulse marks are automatically printed beside the wave for paced patients. Beat labels can be set to print on the rhythm stripe. The 12X1 (2P) format prints the report over two pages.

The Drug Calculator helps you to manage infusions by calculating one of these values at a time. Term Dose Rate Amount Volume Definition total quantity of drug to be delivered to the patient over time volume of the mixture to be delivered to the patient over time amount of drug to be added to diluent to make up a mixture quantity of mixture of diluent and drug ml Units amount units per time or per kg/

*Be aware that your hospital may use either 'g' or 'mcg' as an abbreviation for microgram. These abbreviations are equivalent. WARNING Before you administer any drug, always check that the correct calculation units and patient category are selected. Consult your pharmacy if you have questions. Decisions on the choice and dosage of drugs administered to patients must always be made by the physician in charge. The Drug Calculator performs calculations based on the values input during use, it does not check the plausibility of the calculations performed. 337 27 Using the Drug Calculator Accessing the Drug Calculator To access the Drug Calculator, select Main Setup then Calculations followed by Drug Calculator, or select the Drug Calc SmartKey, if configured. Performing Drug Calculations Using the service Support Tool, a list of drugs can be configured for the monitor containing pre-
defined dosage recommendations and unit settings. Selecting the arrow beside the drug name in the Drug Calculator window opens a list of configured drugs. Contact your pharmacist if you have any questions about the drugs in the list. If ANY DRUG is the only entry in the list of drugs, no drugs have been pre-configured for your monitor. Drug calculations can be performed for non-specific drugs. You must have a Support Tool to add additional drugs to the Drug Calculator. About the Rule of Six If the Rule of Six has been enabled for use with individual drugs in your Drug Calculator, you can use the formula in crisis situations to quickly calculate the amount of a drug needed to yield a target dose for continuous infusion for neonatal or pediatric patients (the drug amount is given in "mg", the patient weight in "kg"). The Rule of Six can only be used with the dose unit mcg/kg/min. CAUTION JCAHO recommends disabling the Rule of Six. The configuration is not JCAHO-compliant if Rule of Six is enabled. The Drug Calculator uses the following formula for Rule of Six calculations, based on the patient's weight:
For a target dose of 0.1 mcg/kg/min, the Drug Calculator multiplies 0.6 x patient weight to calculate the amount you need to add to the IV solution to equal a total of 100 ml. For a target dose of 1.0 mcg/kg/min, the Drug Calculator multiplies 6.0 x patient weight to calculate the amount you need to add to the IV solution to equal a total of 100 ml. 338 Performing Calculations for a Non-Specific Drug 27 Using the Drug Calculator If a list of drugs has not been configured for your monitor, you can use the Drug Calculator to calculate drug doses for a single, generic drug called ANY DRUG.

The monitors are not user installable. They must be installed by qualified service personnel. Intended Use The monitor is intended to be used for monitoring and recording of, and to generate alarms for, multiple physiological parameters of adults, pediatrics, and neonates in health care facilities. The monitor is to be used by trained health care professionals. The monitor is only for use on one patient at a time. It is not intended for home use. Rx only:
U.S. Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Not a therapeutic device. The transcutaneous gas measurement (tcGas) is restricted to neonatal patients only. ST segment monitoring is intended for use with adult patients only and is not clinically validated for use with neonatal and pediatric patients. The ECG measurement is intended to be used for diagnostic recording of rhythm and detailed morphology of complex cardiac complexes (according to AAMI EC 11). BIS is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed health care practitioner or by personnel trained in its proper use. It is intended for use on adult and pediatric patients within a hospital or medical facility providing patient care to monitor the state of the brain by data acquisition of EEG signals. The BIS may be used as an aid in monitoring the effects of certain anesthetic agents. Use of BIS monitoring to help guide anesthetic administration may be associated with the reduction of the incidence of awareness with recall in adults during general anesthesia and sedation. The SSC Sepsis Protocol, in the ProtocolWatch clinical decision support tool, is intended for use with adult patients only. The derived measurement Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) is intended for use with sedated patients receiving controlled mechanical ventilation and mainly free from cardiac arrhythmia. The PPV measurement has been validated only for adult patients. The monitor is indicated for use by health care professionals whenever there is a need for monitoring the physiological parameters of patients.

See the maintenance section for a list of required tests. Safety and performance tests, and what to do if the instrument does not meet these specifications, are described in the Service Guide. 426 36 Specifications Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Specifications Take special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) when using medical electrical equipment. You must operate your monitoring equipment according to the EMC information provided in this book. Portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment. Accessories Compliant with EMC Standards All accessories listed in the accessories section comply, in combination with the patient monitor, with the requirements of IEC 60601-1-2:2001 + A1:2004. WARNING Using accessories other than those specified may result in increased electromagnetic emission or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the monitoring equipment. Electromagnetic Emissions The monitor is suitable for use in the electromagnetic environment specified in the table below. You must ensure that it is used in such an environment. Emissions test Radio Frequency (RF) emissions Compliance Avoiding Electromagnetic Interference Group 1 The monitor uses RF energy only for its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment The monitor is suitable for use in all establishments other than domestic and those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes RF emissions CISPR 11 Harmonic emissions IEC 61000-3-2 Voltage fluctuations IEC 61000-3-3 Class A n/a n/a WARNING The monitor should not be used next to or stacked with other equipment. If you must stack the monitor, you must check that normal operation is possible in the necessary configuration before you start monitoring patients. Avoiding Electromagnetic Interference (Resp and BIS) The respiration (Resp) and BIS measurements are very sensitive measurements that measure very small signals. Technological limitations do not allow higher immunity levels than 1 V/m for radiated RF electromagnetic fields and 1 Vrms for conducted disturbances induced by RF fields. Electromagnetic fields with field strengths above 1 V/m and conducted disturbances above 1 Vrms may cause erroneous measurements. Therefore Philips recommends that you avoid using electrically radiating equipment in the close proximity of these measurements. Electromagnetic Immunity The monitor is suitable for use in the specified electromagnetic environment. The user must ensure that it is used in the appropriate environment as described below. 427 36 Specifications Immunity test Electrostatic discharge

Mains power quality should be that of a typical commercial and/or hospital environment Mains power quality should be that of a typical commercial and/or hospital environment Mains power quality should be that of a typical commercial and/or hospital environment. If the user of the monitor requires continued operation during power mains interruptions, it is recommended that the monitor is equipped with an internal battery or is powered from an uninterruptible power supply.

Recommended Separation Distance WARNING The monitor, equipped with a wireless network interface, intentionally receives RF electromagnetic energy for the purpose of its operation. Therefore, other equipment may cause interference, even if that other equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements. In the following table, P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m). The values given in brackets are for respiration and BIS. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the monitor, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation appropriate for the frequency of the transmitter. Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range. Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with this symbol:

To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the monitor is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the monitor should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the monitor. These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people. Recommended separation distances from portable and mobile RF communication equipment The monitor is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or user of the monitor can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the monitor as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment. In the following table, P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m). The values given in brackets are for respiration and BIS. 429 36 Specifications Frequency of transmitter 150 kHz to 80 MHz Equation Rated max. output power of transmitter 0.01 W 0.1 W 1 W 10 W 100 W d = 1.2P for respiration and BIS:

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

To leave configuration mode:
In the Main Setup menu, select Operating Modes and then select Monitoring. Handing Over the Monitor If you are handing over the monitor to the end-users directly after configuration, make sure that it is in Monitoring mode. 7 1 Installation Handing Over the Monitor Users must be adequately trained to use the monitor before monitoring a patient. To achieve this, they should have access to, and read, the following documentation delivered with the monitor:
Instructions for Use (this book) - for full operating instructions Quick Guide - for quick reminders during use Additionally, we recommend working through the Training Guide for self-training on the monitor before use (not available in all languages). The part number is M8102-944XB, where X is a digit dependent on the language. The English training guide is M8102-9441B. 8 2 2Basic Operation These Instructions for Use are for clinical professionals using the IntelliVue MP2 (M8102A) patient monitor. This basic operation section gives you an overview of the device and its functions. It tells you how to perform tasks that are common to all measurements (such as entering data, switching a measurement on and off, setting up and adjusting wave speeds, working with profiles). The alarms section gives an overview of alarms. The remaining sections tell you how to perform individual measurements, and how to care for and maintain the equipment. Familiarize yourself with all instructions including warnings and cautions before starting to monitor patients. Read and keep the Instructions for Use that come with any accessories, as these contain important information about care and cleaning that is not repeated here. This guide describes all features and options. Your monitor may not have all of them; they are not all available in all geographies. Your monitor is highly configurable. What you see on the screen, how the menus appear and so forth, depends on the way it has been tailored for your hospital and may not be exactly as shown here. In this guide:
A warning alerts you to a potential serious outcome, adverse event or safety hazard. Failure to observe a warning may result in death or serious injury to the user or patient. A caution alerts you to where special care is necessary for the safe and effective use of the product. Failure to observe a caution may result in minor or moderate personal injury or damage to the product or other property, and possibly in a remote risk of more serious injury. Monitor refers to the entire patient monitor. Display refers to the physical display unit. Display Screen and Screen refer to everything you see on monitors display, such as measurements, alarms, patient data and so forth. 9 2 Basic Operation Introducing the IntelliVue MP2 Introducing the IntelliVue MP2 The Philips IntelliVue MP2 monitor provides a comprehensive set of basic physiological measurements: ECG (including ST analysis and optional 10-lead ECG), NBP, SpO2, and optionally invasive blood pressure, temperature and CO2. Through networking it provides information integration, documentation and information access. The MP2 can be used with adult, pediatric and neonatal patients in a hospital environment and during patient transport both inside and outside hospitals. The monitor stores data in trend databases. You can see tabular trends (vital signs) and document them on a central printer. You can view measurement trend graphs, including horizon trends, to help you identify changes in the patients physiological condition. The monitor can be powered by a rechargeable battery, or from AC mains using the external power supply (M8023A). For battery charging, care and status information, refer to the chapter Using Batteries on page 217.

These are always displayed at the top of the screen. The main measurement numeric and wave (if applicable) are shown in this window so that you do not lose sight of the current measurement while making changes in the menu. Status/prompt messages related to the measurement menu are displayed below the wave/numerics. General status/prompt messages on the main screen are covered by the measurement setup menu. The menu may have more than one page, as shown here. Move to another page by touching these arrows. Each button has two lines of text. To perform an operation on a measurement, press one of the buttons. Some buttons lead directly to a task. For example, pressing the Start/Stop button for noninvasive blood pressure starts a measurement. Other buttons open a pop-up window, which can have more than one page, from which you make a selection. Again, using noninvasive blood pressure as an example, pressing the Repeat Time button for setting the repetition time opens a pop-
up window from which you pick a time, scrolling if necessary. Main Setup Menu There is usually more than one way to enter a setup menu for a measurement, to change a setting or to execute a task. Some routes are more direct than others. You can use whichever method you find most convenient. Which routes are available to you, however, can vary depending on your monitors configuration. For this reason, this book generally describes entry to a measurements setup menu via the Main Setup menu, as this route is always available and is not subject to configuration dependencies. You can get to all setup windows from the Main Setup menu. You enter the Main Setup menu by pressing the SmartKeys key, then selecting the Main Setup SmartKey. Main Setup menu From here you can get to all setup menus SmartKeys A SmartKey is a configurable graphical key on the screen allowing fast access to frequently used functions.

Select the Main Setup menu. Select Operating Modes and choose the mode you require. Your monitor has four operating modes. Some are passcode protected. Monitoring Mode: This is the normal, every day working mode that you use for monitoring patients. You can change elements such as alarm limits, patient category and so forth. When you discharge the patient, these elements return to their default values. Changes can be stored permanently only in Configuration Mode. You may see items, such as some menu options or the altitude setting, that are visible but grayed out so that you can neither select nor change them. These are for your information and can be changed only in Configuration Mode. Demonstration Mode: Passcode protected, this is for demonstration purposes only. You must not change into Demonstration Mode during monitoring. In Demonstration Mode, all stored trend information is deleted from the monitors memory. Configuration Mode: Passcode protected, this mode is for personnel trained in configuration tasks. These tasks are described in the Configuration Guide. During installation the monitor is configured for use in your environment. This configuration defines the default settings you work with when you switch on, the number of waves you see and so forth. Service Mode: Passcode protected, this is for trained service personnel. When the monitor is in Demonstration Mode, Configuration Mode, or Service Mode, this is indicated by a box with the mode name in the center of the Screen and a symbol in the bottom right-hand corner. Select this field to change to a different mode. Config Standby Mode Standby mode can be used when you want to temporarily interrupt monitoring. To enter Standby mode, 1 2 Press the SmartKeys key Either select the Monitor Standby SmartKey Or select the Main Setup SmartKey, then select Monitor Standby. The Standby screen looks like this:
22 Understanding Screens 2 Basic Operation STANDBY Press any key or select any field on the screen to resume monitoring The monitor enters Standby mode automatically after the End Case function is used to discharge a patient. Standby suspends patient monitoring. All waves and numerics disappear from the display but all settings and patient data information are retained. A special Standby screen is displayed. If a patient location is entered at the Information Center, this will also be displayed on the Standby screen (availability depends on Information Center revision). To resume monitoring, Select anything on the screen or press any key. Understanding Screens Your monitor comes with a set of pre-configured Screens, optimized for common monitoring scenarios. A Screen defines the overall selection, size and position of waves and numerics on the monitor screen when you switch on. You can easily switch between different Screens during monitoring. Screens do NOT affect alarm settings, patient category and so forth. Switching to a Different Screen To switch to a different Screen:
1 After closing any open menus or windows, press the Main Screen key to access the Change 2 Choose the new Screen from the Change Screens menu. Screens menu. Changing a Screens Content If you do not want to change the entire Screen content, but only some parts of it, you can substitute individual waves, numerics, or trends. Be aware that these changes cannot be stored permanently in Monitoring Mode. To change the selection of elements on a Screen, 1 2 Select the element you want to change. For example, touch the wave to enter the wave setup menu, or touch the numeric to enter the numeric setup menu. From the menu that appears, select Change Wave or Change Numeric, and then select the wave or numeric you want. 23 2 Basic Operation Using the XDS Remote Display 1 Wave B 1 Big Wave Change Screen In the Change Screen menu, the changed Screen is shown linked to the original Screen and marked with an asterisk. Up to three modified Screens can be accessed via the Change Screen menu. To recall Screens, select the name of the Screen in the Change Screen menu After a patient discharge, the monitors default Screen is shown. Modified Screens are still available in the Change Screen menu. If the monitor is switched off and then on again, modified Screens are erased from the monitors memory and cannot be recalled. If a modified Screen was the last active Screen when the monitor was switched off, it is retained (unless Automat. Default is set to Yes in Configuration Mode). Vital Signs B 2 Waves A 2 Waves B Using the XDS Remote Display Using the IntelliVue XDS solution it is possible to view an independent monitor screen on an external display. The XDS solution consists of a medical grade PC-based hardware platform, XDS application software and the XDS connectivity option on the monitor. Depending on the configuration you can also operate the monitor from the external display. The XDS must be connected to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the monitor. It is also possible to use an existing PC, connected to the same LAN, to host the XDS Application software. For more details, including limitations and restrictions, refer to the Instructions for Use for the XDS Application. Using the Visitor Screen If a visitor Screen is configured for your monitor, you can use it to clear the screen of all waves and numerics but continue to monitor the patient with active alarms and trend storage at the bedside and Information Center. You can change the name of the visitor Screen in Configuration Mode. To activate this Screen, Press the Main Screen key to open the Change Screen menu. Select the name of the visitor Screen configured for your monitor from the list of available Screens. 1 2 To select a Screen with waves and numerics again, Touch the gray rectangle in the center of the screen showing the visitor Screens name, or press the Main Screen key, to open the Change Screen menu and then select a Screen from the list. 24 Understanding Profiles 2 Basic Operation Understanding Profiles Profiles are predefined monitor configurations. They let you change the configuration of the whole monitor so you can adapt it to different monitoring situations. The changes that occur when you change a complete profile are more far reaching than those made when you change a Screen. Screens affect only what is shown on the display. Profiles affect all monitor and measurement settings. The settings that are defined by Profiles are grouped into three categories. Each category offers a choice of settings blocks customized for specific monitoring situations. These categories are:
Display (screens) Each profile can have a choice of many different predefined screens. When you change the profile, the screen selection configured for the new profile becomes active. Measurement Settings Each profile can have a choice of different predefined measurement settings. These relate directly to individual measurements, for example, measurement on/off, measurement color, alarms limits, NBP alarm source, NBP repeat time, temperature unit (oF or oC) pressure unit (mmHg or kPa). Monitor Settings Each profile can have a choice of different predefined monitor settings. These relate to the monitor as a whole; for example, display brightness, alarms off/paused, alarm volume, QRS tone volume, tone modulation, prompt tone volume, wave speed, resp wave speed, pulse source.

You can change from one complete profile to another or swap individual settings blocks (display screen/monitor settings/measurement settings) to change a subset of a profile. Changes you make to any element within the settings blocks are not saved when you discharge the patient, unless you save them in Configuration Mode. Depending on your monitor configuration, when you switch on or discharge a patient the monitor either continues with the previous profile, or resets to the default profile configured for that monitor. 25 2 Basic Operation Understanding Settings WARNING If you switch to a different profile, the patient category and paced status normally change to the setting specified in the new profile. However some profiles may be setup to leave the patient category and paced status unchanged. Always check the patient category, paced status, and all alarms and settings, when you change profiles. When you leave Demonstration Mode, the monitor uses the default profile. 1 Swapping a Complete Profile Press the SmartKeys key and Either select Main Setup and then Profiles in the Setup menu. Or select the Profiles SmartKey In the Profiles menu, select Profile. 2 3 Chose a profile from the pop-up list. 4 Confirm your selection.

Default Profile Your monitor has a default profile that it uses when you leave Demonstration, or Service modes, or when you discharge a patient. This profile is indicated by a diamond
. Locked Profiles Some profiles are locked, so that you cannot change them, even in Configuration Mode. These are indicated by this lock symbol. Understanding Settings Each aspect of how the monitor works and looks is defined by a setting. There are a number of different categories of settings, including, Screen Settings, to define the selection and appearance of elements on each individual Screen Measurement settings, to define settings unique to each measurement, for example, high and low alarm limits 26 Changing Measurement Settings 2 Basic Operation Monitor settings, including settings that affect more than one measurement or Screen and define general aspects of how the monitor works, for example, alarm volume, reports and recordings, and display brightness. You must be aware that, although many settings can be changed in Monitoring Mode, permanent changes to settings can only be done in the monitors Configuration Mode. All settings are reset to the stored defaults:
when you discharge a patient when you load a Profile when the monitor is switched off for more than one minute (if Automat. Default is set to Yes). Changing Measurement Settings Each measurement has a setup menu in which you can adjust all of its settings. You can enter a setup menu:
via the measurement numeric - select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu. For example, to enter the Setup ECG menu, select the HR (heart rate) numeric. via the Main Setup SmartKey - if you want to setup a measurement when the measurement is switched off, use the Main Setup SmartKey and select Measurements. Then select the measurement name from the popup list. With this permanent key you can access any setup menu in the monitor. via the Measurement Selection key. Switching a Measurement On and Off When a measurement is off, its waves and numerics are removed from the monitors screen. The monitor stops data acquisition and alarming for this measurement. 1 Enter the measurements setup menu and select the measurement. 2 Select the measurement name to toggle between on and off. The screen display indicates the active setting. Adjusting a Measurement Wave To quickly adjust wave-related measurement settings (such as speed or size), select the measurement wave itself. This displays the measurement Wave menu, which has only wave-related measurement settings. Changing Wave Speeds Lowering the wave speed compresses the wave and lets you view a longer time period. Increasing the speed expands the waveform, giving you a more detailed view. The monitor distinguishes two groups of wave speed settings, RespiratorySpeed, for CO2 waves. Global Speed, for all waves not included in the other group. 27 2 Basic Operation Using Labels Changing the Wave Group Speed 1 The wave speed group setting defines the speed of all the waves in the group. To change the wave speed of a wave speed group, Select Main Setup -> User Interface Select Global Speed or RespiratorySpeed, as required Select a value from the list of available speeds. 2 3 Changing Wave Speed for a Channel Select Change Speed. To change the wave speed of an individual wave channel, 1 Enter the Wave menu for a measurement by selecting its wave. 2 3 To set the speed to the wave group speed, select RespiratorySpeed or Global Speed. To set an individual channel speed, select a numeric value from the list of available speeds. This overrides the wave group speed setting and sets the speed for the individual wave channel on the monitor Screen. The wave channel speed is independent of the wave (label) depicted in the channel, if you change the wave, the new wave will retain the set channel speed. Using Labels You can measure up to three invasive pressures and temperatures simultaneously. The monitor uses labels to distinguish between them. The default settings defined in the profile (such as measurement color, wave scale, and alarm settings) are stored within each label. When you assign a label to a measurement, the monitor automatically applies these default settings to the measurement. The labels assigned are used throughout the monitor, in reports, recordings, and in trends. Changing Measurement Labels (e.g. Pressure) To change a measurement label of a measurement with multiple labels (invasive pressure or temperature), 1 Enter the Wave menu of the measurement. 2 Select Label. 3 Choose a label from the list. The monitor automatically applies the scale, color, etc. settings stored in the Profile for the label you select. You can change scale settings in Monitoring Mode, but color can only be changed in the monitors Configuration Mode. Any labels already being used in the monitor are shown grayed-out in the list and cannot be selected. Resolving Label Conflicts Each label must be unique, that is, it can only be assigned once. If you have a MMS Extension equipped with a pressure measurement connected to the monitor, there is a potential conflict with, for example, the ABP label. If you manually enter measurement values these may also conflict with existing labels on the monitor. Depending on your configuration, the monitor will either 28 Using Labels 2 Basic Operation display the Measurement Selection window automatically for you to resolve the conflict take no action, you must enter the Measurement Selection window and resolve the conflict measurement selection key All the currently available measurements are depicted in the Measurement Selection window. Any measurement labels causing a label conflict are shown in red. If a measurement is connected but currently unavailable, for example, because it was deactivated due to a label conflict, that measurement is shown grayed-out. If a MMS Extension is not available, for example if monitor is running on battery power and not an external power source, the MMS Extension is not displayed.

When a patient is transferred from a monitor with these new labels to one with an older software revision, the labels will be replaced with a generic label for that measurement. The settings for that generic label will then be used. If it is critical that the measurement labels are available at the Information Center and after transfers, the older monitors and the Information Center must be upgraded to the appropriate software revision. Changing Monitor Settings To change monitor settings such as brightness, or QRS tone volume:

These settings can only be changed in the monitors Configuration Mode. Setting the Date and Time If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, the date and time are automatically taken from this. Once it is set, the internal clock retains the setting even when you switch off the monitor. In the Main Setup menu, select Date, Time. Select, in turn, the Year, Month, Day, Hour (in 24 hour format, only) and Minute as necessary. Select the correct values from the pop-up list. Select Store Date, Time to change the date and time. 1 2 3 Checking Your Monitor Revision Select Main Setup -> Revision to open the Monitor Revision menu. Select the correct device from the device pop-up keys. 1 2 30 Getting Started 2 Basic Operation 3 From the Monitor Revision menu, select the monitor component for which you need revision information. Getting Started Once you understand the basic operation principles, you can get ready for monitoring. Inspecting the Monitor WARNING If the monitor is mechanically damaged, or if it is not working properly, do not use it for any monitoring procedure on a patient. Contact your service personnel. 1 Before you start to make measurements, carry out the following checks on the monitor. Check for any mechanical damage. Check all the external cables, plug-ins and accessories. 2 Always ensure that the battery is loaded in the battery compartment when monitoring a patient, even when the monitor is running on external power. 3 If you are using battery power, ensure that the battery has sufficient power for monitoring. Before using a battery for the first time, you must charge it, following the instructions given in the section on Charging Batteries. 4 Measurements from measurement extensions attached to the monitor are only available when the monitor is operating from AC mains power. The measurement extensions are not active when the monitor is operating from battery power. 5 Check all the functions of the instrument that you need to monitor the patient, and ensure that the instrument is in good working order. Switching On Press the on/off switch on the monitor for one second. The monitor performs a self test and is then ready to use. If you see a message such as CO2 SENSOR WARMUP wait until it disappears before starting to monitor that measurement. Power On/Power Off Behavior The general rules determining the behavior of the monitor when connected to, or disconnected from power are as follows:
A monitor that was switched on prior to a temporary power loss switches on again when power is restored. A monitor that was switched off prior to a temporary power loss remains off when power is restored. When AC mains power is lost, a battery powered monitor continues to run without interruption on battery power. Setting up the Measurements 1 Decide which measurements you want to make. 31 2 Basic Operation Disconnecting from AC Mains Power 2 Connect the required patient cables and sensors. The connectors are color-coded to the patient cables and sensors for easy identification. WARNING When connecting devices for acquiring measurements, always position cables and tubing carefully to avoid entanglement or potential strangulation. Starting Monitoring After you switch on the monitor, 1 Admit your patient to the monitor. 2 Check that the profile, alarm limits, alarm and QRS volumes, patient category and paced status and so forth are appropriate for your patient. Change them if necessary. 3 Refer to the appropriate measurement section for details of how to perform the measurements you require. Disconnecting from AC Mains Power To disconnect the monitor from AC mains power, unplug the power cord for the external power supply (M8023A) from the mains socket. Monitoring After a Power Failure If external power is disconnected or there is a power failure, the monitor continues to run on its rechargeable battery. If the monitor is without any power (no external power or the battery is empty) for less than one minute, monitoring will resume with all active settings unchanged. If the monitor is without power for more than one minute, the behavior depends on your configuration. If Automat. Default is set to Yes, the default profile will be loaded when power is restored. If Automat. Default is set to No, all active settings are retained, if power is restored within 48 hours. The Automat. Default setting is made in Configuration Mode. Networked Monitoring You can connect your monitor to an Information Center on a network, using one of the optional interfaces:
Standard wired LAN Wireless LAN IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry System (IIT) WARNING Do not connect patient monitors to the standard hospital network. 32 Capturing Alarm Reports and Printing 2 Basic Operation If your monitor is connected to a network, a network symbol is displayed in the upper left corner next to the bed label. To see details about the monitoring equipment and technical information about the network, select the Main Setup SmartKey to enter the Setup menu, then select Bed Information. Be aware that some network-based functions may be limited for monitors on wireless networks in comparison to those on wired networks. Capturing Alarm Reports and Printing You can print out standard reports, alarm reports and trends with the IntelliVue PC Printing Solution. This is a software package which allows you to print to a standard, off-the-shelf printer or to an electronic file such as PDF. You can download the IntelliVue PC Printing Solution free-of-charge from the Internet and install it on an existing PC. Capturing Alarm Reports The monitor can be set up to automatically capture alarm reports, triggered by selected alarms. The necessary settings must be made in Configuration mode. When one of the selected alarms occurs, the monitor automatically captures the alarm and creates a report which is stored in the database. As soon as the monitor is connected to a PC or network with the IntelliVue PC Printing Solution software, it will automatically print the reports, or send them to a patient-specific folder as an electronic file. 33 2 Basic Operation Capturing Alarm Reports and Printing 34 3 3Whats New?
This section lists the most important new features and improvements to the monitor and its user interface introduced with each release. Further information is provided in other sections of this book. You may not have all of these features, depending on the monitor configuration purchased by your hospital. Whats New in Release G.0?
Short Range Radio Interface for MP2 A short range radio interface is now available for the MP2 monitor. This allows a telemetry transceiver with a short range radio adapter to be assigned to the monitor, resulting in a direct connection. The measurement data from the telemetry transceiver appear directly on the monitor screen with a minimal delay and are combined with the monitor data in one sector at the Information Center. IntelliVue XDS Solution Using the IntelliVue XDS solution it is possible to view an independent monitor screen on an external display. The XDS solution consists of a medical grade PC-based hardware platform, XDS application software and the XDS connectivity option on the monitor. Depending on the configuration you can also operate the monitor from the external display. The XDS must be connected to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the monitor. It is also possible to use an existing PC, connected to the same LAN, to host the XDS Application software. New Fields in the Admission Form A Middle Name field is now available in the admission form - whether it appears is configurable. Two additional ID fields, Lifetime Id and Encounter Id, can also be configured to appear and their names can be customized to fit hospital requirements. SpO2 Enhancements Additional SpO2 Labels - SpO2pr and SpO2po labels have been added. New manual measurement mode when telemetry devices are connected via a short range radio link. Signal Quality Indicator displayed with the SpO2 numerics. ECG Enhancements New */**Afib yellow alarm when an atrial fibrillation waveform is detected. QT View window - shows current wave and baseline wave with Q and T points marked so that you can verify that the QT algorithm detects correct Q and T points. 35 3 Whats New?
Whats New in Release F.0?
Whats New in Release F.0?
QT/QTc Interval Monitoring QT interval monitoring is used to assist in the detection of prolonged QT interval syndrome. The QT interval is measured and the heart-rate corrected QT value, QTc, is calculated. The monitor also provides a 'QTc value which tracks variation in the QT interval in relation to a baseline value. High alarm limits can be set for QTc and 'QTc enabling alarm notification. Manual Data Entry Measurement values (for example lab data or manually measured temperatures) can be entered manually into the monitor and stored in the database. They can then be used for trends, reports and also be displayed as a numeric on screen, if required. Horizon Trend Enhancements The trend indicator arrow indicates how the patient trend has developed in a set time period. This period is now configurable and can be set to 10 minutes, 5 minutes or 2 minutes. The horizon (or baseline) can now be set to a range or to a specific value. Connecting an MP5 to a Monitor (Companion Mode is indicated) The MP5 monitor can be connected to one of the MP20 to MP90 monitors (then called the host monitor) and used like an MMS. This provides monitoring continuity in transport situations allowing measurement data and patient demographics from the MP5 to be transferred to another monitor. When the MP5 is connected to a host monitor, no alarms will be announced on the MP5. NBP - Programmable Measurement Sequence Up to four measurement cycles can be set up which will run consecutively. For each cycle you can set the number of measurements and the interval between them. By setting the last cycle to run continuously you can have regular measurements continue after the sequence has run. New Printing Options For Reports Reports can now also be printed via an external PC-based print server or to an internal print database, when no printer is available (for example, during transport). As soon as a printer becomes available, the reports stored in the database will print automatically. Manual Pairing At Monitor Previously, devices could only be manually paired at the Information Center. You can now pair devices at the monitor as long as the monitor is already connected to the Information Center. Moving Windows And Menus Windows and menus can now be moved on the monitor screen. Using touch or a mouse you can select the title of a window and then drag it across the screen. Some positions on the screen are not allowed, such as ones overlapping the alarm field or the monitor info line. Invasive Pressure Changes Wave cursor - A cursor is now available on the realtime pressure wave to allow you to define a position and store the corresponding value. Reduced alarm limit steps in lower ranges - The alarm limits setting in 2 mmHg steps is now possible in ranges up to 50 mmHg (previously up to 30 mmHg). 36 Whats New in Release F.0?
3 Whats New?
New Patient Check The monitor can be configured to ask you in certain situations: after a specified power-off period, after a specified standby period and when no basic vitals (HR, RR, Pulse, SpO2, NBP) have been measured for a specified period, whether a new patient is now being monitored. By selecting the Yes pop-up key you can discharge the previous patient and reset settings. New Smart Keys A SmartKey is available for New Lead Setup when a new ECG lead set with fewer leads than previously is being used. Better Visibility Of Gridlines The brightness of the gridlines on the realtime waves has been increased for better visibility. 37 3 Whats New?
Whats New in Release F.0?
38 4 4Alarms The alarm information here applies to all measurements. Measurement-specific alarm information is discussed in the sections on individual measurements. The monitor has two different types of alarm: patient alarms and INOPs. Patient Alarms are red and yellow alarms. A red alarm indicates a high priority patient alarm such as a potentially life threatening situation (for example, asystole). A yellow alarm indicates a lower priority patient alarm (for example, a respiration alarm limit violation). Additionally there are short yellow alarms, most of which are specific to arrhythmia-related patient conditions (for example, ventricular bigeminy). INOPs are technical alarms, they indicate that the monitor cannot measure or detect alarm conditions reliably. If an INOP interrupts monitoring and alarm detection (for example, LEADS OFF), the monitor places a question mark in place of the measurement numeric and an audible indicator tone will be sounded. INOPs without this audible indicator indicate that there may a problem with the reliability of the data, but that monitoring is not interrupted. Most INOPs are light blue, however there are a small number of INOPS which are always yellow or red to indicate a severity corresponding to red and yellow alarms. The following INOPs can also be configured as red or yellow INOPs to provide a severity indication:
ECG LEADS OFF ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF (yellow only, no red INOP) CUFF OVERPRESS CUFF NOT DEFLATED OCCLUSION TELE DISCONNECT. Replace TeleBatt All monitors in a unit should have the same severity configured for these INOPs. Alarms are indicated after the alarm delay time. This is made up of the system delay time plus the trigger delay time for the individual measurement. See the specifications section for details. If more than one alarm is active, the alarm messages are shown in the alarm status area in succession. An arrow symbol next to the alarm message informs you that more than one message is active. n** HR HIGH 39 4 Alarms Visual Alarm Indicators The monitor sounds an audible indicator for the highest priority alarm. If more than one alarm condition is active in the same measurement, the monitor announces the most severe. Your monitor may be configured to increase alarm indicator volume automatically during the time when the alarm is not acknowledged. Visual Alarm Indicators Alarm message: An alarm message text appears in the alarm status area at the top of the screen indicating the source of the alarm. There is a field for INOPs (light blue, red or yellow) and a field for patient alarms, which is shared for red and yellow alarms. If more than one measurement is in an alarm condition, the message changes every two seconds, and has an arrow (
yellow alarm conditions are active simultaneously, they alternate every two seconds in the patient alarms field. The background color of the alarm message matches the alarm priority: red for red alarms, yellow for yellow alarms, light blue for standard INOPs, red for red INOPs and yellow for yellow INOPs. The asterisk symbols (*) beside the alarm message match the alarm priority: *** for red alarms,
** for yellow alarms, * for short yellow alarms. Standard INOPs do not have a symbol, red and yellow INOPs have exclamation marks beside the alarm message: !!! for red INOPs and !! for yellow INOPs. Depending on how your monitor is configured, it may display alarm limit violation messages in text form, for example **SpO2 LOW or in numeric form, for example **SpO2 94<96, where the first number shows the maximum
) at the side. If both red and deviation from the alarm limit, and the second number shows the currently set limit. Flashing numeric: The numeric of the measurement in alarm flashes. Bright alarm limits: If the alarm was triggered by an alarm limit violation, the corresponding alarm limit on the monitor screen is shown more brightly if Show AlarmLimits is enabled and there is sufficient room on the screen. Alarm lamp: A lamp on the monitors front panel flashes. The alarm lamp is divided into two sections. The right one flashes for a patient alarm, except for short yellow alarms where the lamp will light for approximately six seconds. The color is yellow or red corresponding to the highest priority patient alarm currently present. The left one lights continuously for a light blue INOP and flashes for yellow or red INOPs as follows:
INOP Lamp Color Yellow Red Modulation (how long the lamp is on or off while flashing) On 1.0 seconds 0.25 seconds Off 1.0 seconds 0.25 seconds If only patient alarms are present, and no INOPs, the patient alarms will use both left and right sections to flash (for red and yellow alarms) or light for approximately six seconds (for short yellow alarms). If only INOPs are present, and no patient alarms, red and yellow INOPs will use both left and right sections to flash but light blue INOPs will always light continuously in the left section only. 40 Audible Alarm Indicators 4 Alarms Audible Alarm Indicators The audible alarm indicators configured for your monitor depend on which alarm standard applies in your hospital. Audible alarm indicator patterns are repeated until you acknowledge the alarm by switching it off or pausing it, or until the alarm condition ceases (if audible alarm indication is set to non-latching). WARNING Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level or off during patient monitoring may result in patient danger. Remember that the most reliable method of patient monitoring combines close personal surveillance with correct operation of monitoring equipment. Alarm Tone Configuration The audible alarm indicators of your monitor are configurable. In the monitors Configuration Mode, you can:
increase the alarm volume of unacknowledged alarms at regular intervals change the interval between alarm sounds (ISO/IEC Standard alarms only) change the base volume of the red and yellow alarm tones and the INOP tones change the alarm sound to suit the different alarm standards valid in different countries. Traditional Audible Alarms (HP/Agilent/Philips/Carenet) Red alarms and red INOPs: A high pitched sound is repeated once a second. Two-star yellow alarms and yellow INOPs: A lower pitched sound is repeated every two seconds. One-star yellow alarms (short yellow alarms): The audible indicator is the same as for yellow alarms, but of shorter duration. Standard INOPs: an INOP tone is repeated every two seconds. ISO/IEC Standard Audible Alarms Red alarms and red INOPs: A high pitched tone is repeated five times, followed by a configurable pause. Two-star yellow alarms and yellow INOPs: A lower pitched tone is repeated three times, followed by a configurable pause. One-star yellow alarms (short yellow alarms): The audible indicator is the same as for yellow alarms, but of shorter duration. Standard INOPs: a lower pitched tone is repeated twice, followed by a pause. Changing the Alarm Tone Volume 41 4 Alarms Acknowledging Alarms If you want to see a numerical indication of the current alarm volume on a scale from zero to 10, or change the setting, select the Alarm Volume SmartKey. The volume scale pops up. The current setting is indented. To change the setting, select the required number on the scale. Any settings that are inactive (grayed out) have been disabled in the monitors Configuration Mode. Alarm Volume When the alarm volume is set to zero (off), the alarm volume symbol reflects this. If you switch the alarm volume off, you will not get any audible indication of alarm conditions. Minimum Volume for No Central Monitoring INOP If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, and the connection is interrupted, the INOP message No Central Monit. will appear within 30 seconds, accompanied by an INOP tone. To help ensure that this INOP, and any other active alarm, is not overlooked, the INOP and alarm tones may be configured to have a minimum volume. In this case, INOP and alarm tones will sound even if the monitor alarm volume is set to zero. Minimum Volume for Severe Yellow or Red INOPs Severe yellow or red INOPs require action to ensure the well-being of the patient. Therefore the minimum volume for the INOP tone is set to at least alarm volume 8, irrespective of the current alarm volume setting. The INOP tone will sound even if the monitor alarm volume is set to zero. The severe INOPs for which this applies are:
Cuff Not Deflated (configurable to yellow or red) NBP Cuff Overpress (configurable to yellow or red) Insert Battery (yellow) Acknowledging Alarms To acknowledge all active alarms and INOPs, press the Silence key. This switches off the audible alarm indicators and alarm lamps. A check mark beside the alarm message indicates that the alarm has been acknowledged. If the monitor is configured to re-alarm, a dashed check mark will be shown. If the condition that triggered the alarm is still present after the alarm has been acknowledged, the alarm message stays on the screen with a check mark symbol beside it, except for NBP alarms. When an NBP alarm is acknowledged the alarm message disappears. If the alarm condition is no longer present, all alarm indicators stop and the alarm is reset. Switching off the alarms for the measurement in alarm, or switching off the measurement itself, also stops alarm indication. APNEA 42 Pausing or Switching Off Alarms 4 Alarms Acknowledging Disconnect INOPs Acknowledging an INOP that results from a disconnected transducer switches off the associated measurement. The only exception is ECG/Resp: acknowledging a disconnect INOP for ECG leads does not switch off the ECG and Resp measurements. Acknowledging a disconnect INOP at the Information Center switches off the audible INOP indicator but does not switch off the measurement. Alarm Reminder (ReAlarm) If Alarm Reminder is configured on for your monitor, you will get an audible reminder of alarm conditions that remain active after you have acknowledged the alarm. This reminder may take the form of a repetition of the alarm tone for a limited time, or an unlimited repetition of the alarm tone (this is the same as a new alarm). Alarm reminder is not available for standard, light blue INOPs but for yellow and red INOPs. In Configuration Mode, you can set the interval between silencing the alarm and sounding the reminder tone to one, two, or three minutes. The alarm reminder behavior at the Information Center is different to that at the monitor. Refer to the Information Center Instructions for Use for further information. Pausing or Switching Off Alarms If you want to temporarily prevent alarms from sounding, for example while you are moving a patient, you can pause alarms. Depending on your monitor configuration, alarms are paused for one, two, or three minutes, or infinitely. To view the alarm pause setting chosen for your unit, Select Main Setup -> Alarms -> Alarm Settings 1 2 Check the Alarms Off setting. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. To Pause All Alarms Press the Alarms key. If your monitor is configured to infinite pause time, the lamp next to the alarms off symbol is red, and pressing this key switches alarms off. Depending on the configuration, you may need to select Confirm to complete the change. To Switch All Alarms Off You can only switch alarms off permanently if your monitor is configured to allow infinite alarms pause. Alarms Off 43 4 Alarms Pausing or Switching Off Alarms Press the Alarms key. Pausing alarms infinitely is the same as switching them off. To Switch Individual Measurement Alarms On or Off 1 2 Select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu. Select Alarms to toggle between On and Off. The alarms off symbol is shown beside the measurement numeric. While Alarms are Paused or Off The red Alarms Paused lamp on the monitor front panel is lit. In the alarm field, the monitor displays the message ALARMS PAUSED or ALARMS OFF, together with the alarms paused symbol and the remaining pause time in minutes and seconds, or alarms off symbol. No alarms are sounded and no alarm messages are shown. INOP messages are shown but no INOP tones are ALARMS PAUSED 1:28 ALARMS OFF sounded. The only exceptions are the INOPs CUFF NOT DEFLATED, CUFF OVERPRESS and INOPs relating to empty, missing and malfunctioning batteries. These INOPs switch the alarms on, and the INOP tones are sounded, even if alarms are paused or off. You need to remove the INOP condition first before you can switch the alarm tones off again. If a NO SENSOR or NO TRANSDUCER INOP is present and alarms are paused or switched off, the measurement in question is switched off. Restarting Paused Alarms To manually switch on alarm indication again after a pause, press the Alarms key again. Alarm indication starts again automatically after the pause period expires. If the monitor is configured to stay paused infinitely, you must select ALARMS OFF again to restart alarm indication. Resetting Arrhythmia Alarm Timeouts To reset the arrhythmia alarm timeout period, press the Alarms key and then press it again. Extending the Alarm Pause Time If your monitor has extended alarm pause enabled, you can extend the alarm pause time. Use this to prevent alarms being indicated, for example, while you are washing a patient or carrying out a procedure. Only extend the alarm pause time when you are sure that clinical personnel are available to monitor the patients condition closely. To extend the alarm pause time to five or 10 minutes, 44 Alarm Limits 4 Alarms 1 2 Select one of the alarm fields. This calls up the Review Alarms window. Select either the pop-up key Pause Al. 5 min or the pop-up key Pause Al. 10 min. Each time you select one of these pop-up keys, the Alarm Pause Time is reset to five (or 10) minutes. Alarm Limits The alarm limits you set determine the conditions that trigger yellow and red limit alarms. For some measurements (for example, SpO2), where the value ranges from 100 to 0, setting the high alarm limit to 100 switches the high alarm off. In these cases, the alarms off symbol is not displayed. WARNING Be aware that the monitors in your care area may each have different alarm settings, to suit different patients. Always check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient before you start monitoring. Viewing Individual Alarm Limits 85120 HR 50 Alarm limits You can usually see the alarm limits set for each measurement next to the measurement numeric on the main screen. If your monitor is not configured to show the alarm limits next to the numeric, you can see them in the appropriate measurement setup menu. Select the measurement numeric to enter the menu and check the limits. Viewing All Alarm Limits The Alarm Limits overview window lists the currently set alarm limits for all measurements. If an Apnea alarm delay time is set, this is also shown. The ALARMS OFF symbol is shown beside the measurement label of any measurement whose alarm switched off. To open the Alarm Limits window, either select one of the alarm fields then select the Alarm Limits pop-up key, or select the Alarm Limits SmartKey, if configured. 45 4 Alarms Alarm Limits 1 Alarm Limits Off 2

Select a limit from the list. Repeat to set the low yellow alarm field. If you set the yellow alarm limit outside the red alarm limit, the monitor will automatically set the red alarm to the yellow alarm limit. 47 4 Alarms Alarm Limits When an ST measurement is in the Change Limits window there are also two pop-up keys available labeled All ST Narrow/All ST Wide. With these keys you can set Auto Limits for all ST Leads. About Automatic Alarm Limits (AutoLimits) The monitor can automatically set alarm limits suited to your individual patient, using the Automatic Alarm Limits function. This tells the monitor to adapt the alarm limits of selected measurements to the measured vital signs within a defined safe limit. The monitor calculates safe AutoLimits for each patient based on the measured values from the last 12 seconds. The wide and narrow limits have a fixed relationship to the measured value within the non-
pathological range. Outside of this range, no auto limits are calculated. To set values outside of the non-pathological range, limits must be changed manually, based on the clinicians judgement about the specific patient. 3 1 2 2 1 4 Wide alarm limits Narrow alarm limits Alarm Limits Measurement value 1 2 3 4 Limits Narrow sets limits close to the currently measured values for situations where it is critical for you to be informed about small changes in your patients vital signs. Limits Wide sets limits further away from the currently measured values for situations where small changes are not so critical. Use the keys in the Change Limits window to apply AutoLimits for individual measurements. These keys are not available if AutoLimits have been disabled for the measurement in the monitors Configuration Mode. AutoLimits are not available for all measurements. The list of measurements for which AutoLimits can be used is defined in the monitors Configuration mode. Use the Change Limits window to check AutoLimits before you apply them to ensure that they are appropriate for your individual patient and their clinical condition. Once applied, AutoLimits are shown on the monitor screen just like manually-set alarm limits. If the AutoLimits are not appropriate for your patient, you must set alarm limits manually. The limits remain unchanged until you set them again or change them manually. 48 Reviewing Alarms 4 Alarms Documenting Alarm Limits To print a list of all current alarm limit settings on an available printer:

The Review Alarms window also shows when the monitor was switched on (after being switched off for longer than 1 minute) and any changes made to the Alarms On/Off, Standby, Silence or ECG source. When you select an item from the list, you can get additional information about that item. If you select a high or low limit alarm in the list, the Graphical Trends window will open to provide further data. If you select an alert other than a high or low alarm, a help text window opens with more information. Some items in the list are simply log items not related to a patient alert as such (for example, Alarms On or Alarms Off). You cannot see any further information if you select one of these items. When you close these windows you will return to the Review Alarms window. The information in the Review Alarms window is deleted when a patient is discharged, and when you leave Demonstration Mode. 49 4 Alarms Latching Alarms The Review Alarms window pop-up keys appear when the window is opened. If alarm pause extension is disabled, the pause pop-up keys are inactive. Alarm Limits Pause Al. 5 Min. Pause Al. 10 Min. Latching Alarms The alarm latching setting for your monitor defines how the alarm indicators behave when you do not acknowledge them. When alarms are set to non-latching, their indicators end when the alarm condition ends. Switching alarm latching on means that visual and/or audible alarm indications are still displayed or announced by the monitor after the alarm condition ends. The indication lasts until you acknowledge the alarm. Viewing the Alarm Latching Settings To see the alarm latching setting for your monitor 1 2 In the monitors Main Setup menu, select Alarms. Select Alarm Settings, and see the Visual Latching and Audible Latching settings. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. You should be aware of the settings chosen for your unit. There are three possible choices each for visual and audible latching, Red, Red and Yellow, and Off. These choices can be combined to give the following settings:
Visual Latching Audible latching R&Y R R&Y Off R&Y R&Y Off Off R Off R R R = red alarms, Y = yellow alarms Alarm Latching Behavior Red and Yellow Measurement Alarms Non-latching alarms Visual and audible latching Visual latching, audible non-latching Alarm has not been acknowledged.

See Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms on page 112 for information on one-star yellow alarms latching behavior. 50 Testing Alarms Testing Alarms 4 Alarms When you switch the monitor on, a selftest is started. You must check that the alarms lamps light, one after the other, and that you hear a single tone. This indicates that the visible and audible alarm indicators are functioning correctly. For further testing of individual measurement alarms, perform the measurement on yourself (for example SpO2 or CO2) or use a simulator. Adjust alarm limits and check that appropriate alarm behavior is observed. Alarm Behavior at On/Off When you switch alarms on, the settings defined in the currently active Profile are used. If the monitor is switched off for longer than one minute and then switched on again, or after a loss of power lasting longer than one minute, or when a patient is discharged, the monitor can be configured to restore either the alarm settings from the monitor's configured default Profile, or the most recently used alarm settings. After any of these situations, you should check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient, and if necessary, select the correct Profile and patient category. If power is lost for less than one minute, the alarm settings prior to the power loss are restored. Alarm Recordings 1 2 3 4 5 You can set up your monitor so that it automatically triggers alarm recordings at the Information Center, or if configured, to a printer as a realtime report. Press the Main Setup SmartKey. Select Alarms from the Main Setup menu. Select Alarm Recording from the Alarms menu to open the Alarm Recordings menu. Select a measurement from those listed for which you want to change the alarm condition that triggers an alarm recording. This opens a pop-up list. For the desired measurement(s), choose the alarm condition to trigger an alarm recording:
Red Only: an alarm recording will automatically be triggered when the measurement enters a red alarm condition. Red&Yell: both yellow and red alarms will trigger an alarm recording. Off: disables automatic alarm recording. Refer to the chapter Recording for details of how to set up a recording. 51 4 Alarms Alarm Recordings 52 5 5Patient Alarms and INOPs This chapter lists patient alarms and technical alarms (INOPs) alphabetically, irrespective of their priority. INOPs start on page 59. All alarms and INOPs are listed here; the ones which can appear on your monitor will depend on the model and the individual options. Patient Alarm Messages The measurement labels and abbreviations for pressure, temperature, SpO2, and anesthetic agent alarms are explained in the individual chapters. Some alarms may be shown at the Information Center in shortened form, when transferred through IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry. These shortened alarm texts are included in the list and identified with the note at Information Center. Note that yellow arrhythmia alarms may be shown with one or with two stars, depending on your monitor configuration and the Information Center revision you are using.

If the INOP persists, contact your service personnel. The arrhythmia algorithm cannot reliably analyze the ECG data. Check the ECG signal quality of the selected primary and secondary leads. If necessary, improve lead position or reduce patient motion. If you have arrhythmia analysis on, and you are not getting a reliable HR because the signal is below a minimum amplitude, unstable, or contains artifact, and you have tried to improve the system performance by choosing another lead and changing electrodes, you should consider turning arrhythmia analysis off. The QT algorithm cannot generate a valid QT value for more than 10 minutes, or 1 minute in the initial phase. The ST algorithm cannot generate a valid ST value. Possible causes are large variations in the measured ST values for consecutive beats, or ventricular paced beats. Review the ECG signal quality and the ST measurement points. If the patient has a ventricular pacemaker, ST analysis is not possible. CCI cannot be calculated because the patient's body surface area is unknown. Enter the patient weight and height to provide the BSA for CCI calculation. The arterial pressure wave can currently not be used for pulse contour calculation for CCO or CCI measurement. Possible causes are air bubbles in the tubing or a physiological condition, for example severe arrhythmia. 62 Technical Alarm Messages (INOPs) 5 Patient Alarms and INOPs Source What to do INOP Message, Indication CCO NO <Pressure label>

This INOP can only arise when a pressure is selected as the pulse source. It occurs when the pulse detector finds a pulse rate above 350bpm. This is usually caused by movement artifact or electrical interference. This INOP can only arise when a pressure is selected as the pulse source. It occurs when the pulse rate being measured is less than 25 beats per minute or the amplitude is less than three mmHg. Check the catheter and connections to the patient. Make sure that the measurement has been properly prepared and zeroed, and that the transducer is level with the heart. If this INOP persists, try another transducer. Possible causes are a measured pressure outside the allowed pressure range, or a broken wire to the transducer. Increase the scale for the pressure wave.

There is too much interference, caused by a high level of ambient light and/or electrical interference. Cover the sensor to minimize ambient light. If the INOP persists, make sure that the sensor cable is not damaged or positioned too close to power cables. Accuracy may be compromised due to very low perfusion. Stimulate circulation at sensor site. If INOP persists, change the measurement site. Excessive patient movement or electrical interference is causing irregular pulse patterns. Try to reduce patient movement or to relieve the cable strain on the sensor. Check the perfusion at measurement site. If necessary, stimulate circulation or change measurement site.

(ADT) patients. All patient demographic and ADT information is shared between the patient monitor and the Information Center, for example, patients admitted to the monitor are automatically admitted to a connected Information Center. Admitting a Patient The monitor displays physiological data and stores it in the trends as soon as a patient is connected. This lets you monitor a patient who is not yet admitted. It is however important to admit patients properly so that you can identify your patient on recordings, reports, and networked devices. During admission you enter data that the monitor needs for safe and accurate operation. For example, the patient category setting determines the algorithm the monitor uses to process and calculate some measurements, the safety limits that apply for some measurements, and the alarm limit ranges. NOTE It is strongly recommended that the same patient data fields be configured to be mandatory at the monitor and the Information Center. To admit a patient, 1 Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window. SBed10 Adult Doe, John Patient Demographics Last Name
: Doe First Name
: John MRN Patient Cat. Admit Patient
: 12345678
: Adult Transfer Dischrge Patient End Case 83 6 Managing Patients Admitting a Patient 2 Clear any previous patient data by selecting the Dischrge Patient or End Case pop-up key and then Confirm. If you do not discharge the previous patient, you will not be able to distinguish data from the previous and current patients, for example, in the trend database. Select Admit Patient. 3 4 Enter the patient information: select each field and use the on-screen keyboard or choose from the pop-up list of alternatives to input information. Last Name: Enter the patients last name (family name), for example Smith. First Name: Enter the patients first name, for example Joseph. Middle Name (if configured to appear): Enter the patients middle name. Lifetime Id, Encounter Id: Whether these fields appear and how they are labelled can be configured for your hospital. One or both fields may be displayed and the labels may read:
MRN, Case Id, Visit Id, etc. Enter the appropriate data for the fields displayed. Patient Cat: Choose the patient category, either Adult, Pediatric, or Neonatal. Paced: Choose Yes or No (You must use Yes if your patient has a pacemaker). Height: Enter the patients height. Weight: Enter the patients weight. BSA: The monitor calculates the body surface area automatically. Date Of Birth: Enter the patients date of birth. Enter this in the form dd/mm/yyyy. Age: The monitor calculates the patient age automatically. Gender: Choose Male or Female. Notes: Enter any extra information about the patient or treatment. Select Confirm. The patient status changes to admitted. 5 Patient Category and Paced Status The patient category setting determines the algorithm the monitor uses to process and calculate some measurements, the safety limits that apply for some measurements, and the alarm limit ranges. The paced setting determines whether the monitor shows pacemaker pulses or not. When Paced is set to No, pace pulses are filtered and therefore do not show in the ECG wave. WARNING Patient Category and Paced status will always contain a value, regardless of whether the patient is fully admitted or not. If you do not specify settings for these fields, the monitor uses the default settings from the current profile, which might not be correct for your patient. Patient category Changing the patient category may change the arrhythmia and NBP alarm limits. Always check alarm limits to make sure that they are appropriate for your patient. Paced status For paced patients, you must set Paced to Yes. If it is incorrectly set to No, the monitor could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm during asystole. Admitting a Centrally-Monitored Patient You can admit a patient at either the bedside or the Information Center. When you admit a patient, the patients name appears on the bedside monitor and the Information Center. 84 Quick Admitting a Patient 6 Managing Patients If you do not fill in all patient information required by the Information Center, the Information Center may reject the admission. Complete all the required fields and try again to admit the patient. Quick Admitting a Patient Use Quick Admit only if you do not have the time or information to fully admit a patient. Complete the rest of the patient demographic details later. Select the Quick Admit SmartKey. 1 2 Enter the required data (ID fields or Last Name depending on configuration) with the keyboard. Select Enter. In the confirmation window, select Confirm to discharge the previous patient (if confirmation is configured). 3 4 5 Check that patient category and paced status are correct for the new patient. If the monitor is connected to an Information Center and only the ID field is entered, the patient name is set to - - - at the Information Center. Complete the rest of the demographic details as soon as possible to fully identify the patient on the network, on the monitor and on printed reports. To complete the details, select Admit Patient again and complete all required fields. Editing Patient Information To edit the patient information after a patient has been admitted, select the patient name field on the Main Screen to open the Patient Demographics window, and make the required changes. Discharging a Patient WARNING Always perform a discharge before starting monitoring for a new patient, even if your previous patient was not admitted. Failure to do so can lead to data being attributed to the wrong patient. A discharge:
clears the information in the Patient Demographics window erases all patient data (including trend data) from the monitor and Information Center. This ensures that data from a previous patient are not mixed with data from the new patient. resets patient category and paced settings to the settings defined in the default Profile resets all monitor and measurement settings as well as the active Screen to the settings defined in the default Profile discharges the patient from the Information Center. When a patient is discharged from the monitor or from an Information Center, all patient data is deleted. Make sure that you have printed out any required reports before discharging. Check that a functioning central printer is available before you use End Case. To discharge a patient, Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window and associated pop-up keys. 1 85 6 Managing Patients Transferring Patients 2 Select the pop-up key for either:
End Case - to print any configured end case reports or vital signs recording, discharge the patient and clear the patient database, then enter standby mode. If an End Case SmartKey is configured for your monitor, you can also select this instead and then confirm. To see which end case reports are set up for your monitor, select Main Setup -> Reports ->
Auto Reports. For each auto report, if End Case Report is set to On, this report will be printed when you select End Case. See the section on AutoReports for information on setting up end case reports. Dischrge Patient - to discharge the patient without printing any reports. New Patient Check The monitor can be configured to ask you in certain situations:
after a specified power-off period after a specified standby period when no basic vitals (HR, RR, Pulse, SpO2, NBP) have been measured for a specified period whether a new patient is now being monitored. The pop-up window is entitled Is this a new Patient?. The monitor offers a Yes key to discharge the previous patient and begin monitoring a new patient and a No key to continue monitoring with the current patient data and settings. The time periods for the three conditions can be configured independently. Transferring Patients To save you from having to enter the same patient data multiple times and enable patient transfer without loss of data, patient demographic information is shared between patient monitors and Information Centers. Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient with the Monitor 1 Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved with the monitor to another monitoring location on the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information. Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window, then select the Transfer pop-up key. If the patient is not admitted or not monitored by an Information Center, the Transfer key is inactive
(grayed-out). This step preserves the patients demographic data during the transfer. 2 At the new location, connect the monitor to the network (only needed for wired networks). If the monitor detects a patient mismatch, a window will open showing your patients data and asking Complete transfer of this patient?. Select Yes to complete the transfer. 3 4 Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct. If you accidentally transfer a patient, use Re-Admit to restore this patients data to the Information Center. If you are not connected to the network, select Clear Transfer to leave transfer mode. The patient data remains in the monitor. 86 Transferring Patients 6 Managing Patients Data Exchange Between Information Centers You can transfer demographic data and trend data from one IIC to another by selecting Transfer on the patient monitor. Trend data is not shared between Information Centers and monitors. Resolving Patient Information Mismatch When you connect together devices which store patient demographic data, for example:
an MMS and a monitor, an X2 or MP5 and a host monitor, a monitor and an Information Center, the system compares patient category, paced status, and unique patient identification in order to synchronize this information. If configured to do so, the monitor indicates a mismatch if the information is not identical. WARNING 1 When a monitor is connected to an Information Center by the wireless IntelliVue Instrument 2 Telemetry interface, the patient data will automatically be merged in the case of a transfer. This means there is no patient discharge at the monitor and settings and trend data will be retained. You will see a message on the monitor and the Patient Demographics window will automatically appear so that you can check the data and change it if necessary. It is important to resolve the mismatches as soon as they are identified. Failure to do so could result in using incorrect/confusing data to make clinical decisions. Certain settings, for example Paced and Patient Category, may not match between the Information Center and the monitor. If the Paced status is set incorrectly, the system could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm in the case of asystole. It is important that the Patient Category is set correctly so the ECG can be analyzed correctly and initial arrhythmia alarm limits set. In the case where an MP5 or X2 with an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface is declared as a telemetry device at the Information Center and is connected to a host monitor, it is important to resolve an existing mismatch between the monitor and the Information Center before disconnecting the MP5/X2. Failure to do so discharges the MP5/X2 and synchronizes the demographics and settings to the Information Center. Manually Resolving Patient Mismatch The source of the patient mismatch is indicated by question marks (???) and displayed in the status line at the bottom of the screen (Patient ???, Patient Category ??? or Paced ???). The Select Patient window automatically opens so you can decide which patient data to use. You do not have to resolve the mismatch immediately, but the indicators remain until you do. For some common mismatch situations, the monitor will simplify the resolution by suggesting a solution for the mismatch. For example, when a patient arrives after transport and the Transfer key has been selected, the monitor will show this patients data and ask Complete transfer of this patient?. You can then select Yes to complete the transfer. If you select No you will go to the Select Patient window. After you resolve the mismatch, the monitor displays a confirmation window that shows the patient that has been selected and where data will be erased, if applicable. Confirm your choice. The monitor automatically displays the Patient Demographics window after confirmation. Verify that the settings shown are correct for the patient. 87 6 Managing Patients Transferring Patients Gender, date of birth, height, weight, and nursing notes do not generate a mismatch. If these fields are different on different devices, the monitor resolves them itself. For example, it may take date of birth from the Information Center, whilst taking gender from the monitor. Always check the Patient Demographics after combining patients, to ensure that you are satisfied with the results. Change them if necessary. WARNING After resolving a patient mismatch, check that the monitor settings (especially patient category, paced status and alarm limits) are correct for the patient. Patient Mismatch - If One Set of Patient Data is Correct If there is a mismatch between an Information Center and a monitor, choose the data set you want to continue using for this patient by selecting one of the sectors in the Select Patient window. After you resolve the mismatch, the monitor displays a confirmation window that shows the patient that has been selected and where data will be erased, if applicable. Confirm your choice. The monitor automatically displays the Patient Demographics window after confirmation. Verify that the settings shown are correct for the patient. Select Patient DOE, JOHN F 1234HG9556, 2008/00123 Adult Non-Paced MILLER, Adult Paced Same Patient New Patient Patient Mismatch - If Neither Patient Data Set is Correct A patient mismatch where neither set of patient data is correct might occur if you connect a new MMS to a monitor in order to prepare for a new patient, before you actually start measuring. Select New Patient if you are sure that none of the information is correct. This discharges all patients, erases all data in both the monitor and MMS, resets all settings to the default Profile, and lets you admit a new patient. Patient Mismatch - If Both Patient Data Sets Are Correct A patient mismatch where both sets of patient data are correct might occur if you admit a new patient at the monitor (or Information Center) before the patient arrives at your unit and then connect the MMS that was used during the patient transport to the monitor. Select Same Patient if the patient information is different, but you are sure it is the same patient. This merges the demographics and updates them in the Information Center, monitor, and MMS, according to this table. Be aware that your monitor may be configured to merge trend data from the MMS and the monitor, and to upload measurement settings from the MMS to the monitor. 88 7 7ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring The electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart and displays it on the monitor as a waveform and a numeric. This section also tells you about arrhythmia monitoring (see page 105), ST monitoring (see page 117) and QT monitoring (see page 127). Skin Preparation for Electrode Placement Good electrode-to-skin contact is important for a good ECG signal, as the skin is a poor conductor of electricity. Select sites with intact skin, without impairment of any kind. 1 2 Clip or shave hair from sites as necessary. 3 Wash sites thoroughly with soap and water, leaving no soap residue. We do not recommend using ether or pure alcohol, because this dries the skin and increases the resistance. 4 Dry skin thoroughly. 5 Gently abrade the skin using ECG skin preparation paper to remove dead skin cells to improve the conductivity of the electrode site. Connecting ECG Cables 1 Attach the clips or snaps to the electrodes before placing them. If you are not using pre-gelled electrodes, apply electrode gel to the electrodes before placement. Place the electrodes on the patient according to the lead placement you have chosen. 2 89 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Selecting the Primary and Secondary ECG Leads 1 - ECG Connector 1 3 Attach the electrode cable to the patient cable. 4 Plug the patient cable into the white ECG connector on the monitor. An ECG waveform and numeric appears on the monitor display. CAUTION To protect the monitor from damage during defibrillation, for accurate ECG information and to protect against noise and other interference, use only ECG electrodes and cables specified by Philips. Selecting the Primary and Secondary ECG Leads The monitor uses the primary and secondary lead to compute HR and to analyze and detect cardiac arrhythmias. They are also available for recordings and for display on the Information Center. The secondary lead is only used if your monitor is configured for multi-lead (instead of single-lead) arrhythmia analysis. You should choose a lead as primary or secondary lead that has the following characteristics:
the QRS complex should be either completely above or below the baseline and it should not be biphasic the QRS complex should be tall and narrow the P-waves and T-waves should be less than 0.2 mV To select a lead as primary or secondary lead:
In the Setup ECG menu, select Primary or Secondary, then select the appropriate lead. You can assign any available lead whether it is currently displayed or not. Checking Paced Status It is important to set the paced status correctly when you start monitoring ECG. To change the paced status in the Setup ECG menu, select Paced to toggle between Yes or No. 90 Understanding the ECG Display 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring WARNING Pace pulse rejection must be switched on for paced patients by setting Paced to Yes. Switching pace pulse rejection off for paced patients may result in pace pulses being counted as regular QRS complexes, which could prevent an asystole event from being detected. When changing profiles, and at admission/discharge, always check that paced status is correct for the patient. Some pace pulses can be difficult to reject. When this happens, the pulses are counted as a QRS complex, and could result in an incorrect HR and failure to detect cardiac arrest or some arrhythmias. Make sure that pace pulses are detected correctly by checking the pace pulse markers on the display. Keep pacemaker patients under close observation. Understanding the ECG Display Your display may be configured to look slightly different. 1 8 2 3 4 5 M EASI 7 Paced Rhythm HR bpm 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Lead label of the displayed wave 1 mV calibration bar Pacer spikes Pace pulse markers Current heart rate Current heart rate alarm limits EASI lead placement label ECG Filter label ECG HR numeric: This is the heart rate derived from the monitored ECG. Pace pulse markers: These are shown if the Paced status has been set to Yes, the pacer spikes are not configured to have a fixed size, and the patient has a paced signal. Pacer Spikes: The pacer spikes are shown in white, unless the ECG wave is white, then they will be green. If the pacer spikes have been configured to have a fixed size, they will be displayed in the background as a dotted line. 91 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Monitoring Paced Patients 1 Pacer spikes configured to have a fixed size 1 Defibrillator synchronization marks: If an HP/Agilent/Philips defibrillator is connected, the synchronization marks (vertical lines on the ECG wave) are shown on the ECG wave. The synchronization marks will be shown in yellow, unless the ECG wave is yellow, then they will be green. If so configured, the monitor can supply its own synchronization marks; in this case the synchronization marks from a defibrillator will not be shown. ST numerics in ECG wave: ST numerics can be configured to show underneath the ECG wave on the left side. Monitoring Paced Patients An ECG optimized for monitoring a paced patient should look like this:
1 2 1 2 Normal Beats Pace Pulses/Beats You should choose a lead as primary or secondary lead that has these characteristics:
the normal QRS complex should be either completely above or below the baseline and it should not be biphasic. For paced patients, the QRS complexes should be at least twice the height of pace pulses. the QRS complex should be tall and narrow the P-waves and the T-waves should be less than 0.2 mV. For ease of identification on the screen, the pacer spikes can be configured to have a fixed size. They are then shown in the background as a dotted lines. The length of the dotted line is fixed to the wave channel height and is independent of the actual pacer amplitude. 92 Changing the Size of the ECG Wave 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Setting the Paced Status (Pace Pulse Rejection) In the Setup ECG menu, select Paced to toggle between Yes and No. You can also change the paced status in the Patient Demographics window. When Paced is set to Yes:
Paced Pace Pulse Rejection is switched on. This means that pacemaker pulses are Non-Paced not counted as extra QRS complexes. pace pulse marks are shown on the ECG wave as a small dash (only when the pacer spikes are not configured to have a fixed size) the paced symbol is displayed under the HR label. When Paced is set to No, pacer spikes are not shown in the ECG wave. Be aware that switching pace pulse rejection off for paced patients may result in pace pulses being counted as regular QRS complexes, which could prevent an asystole event from being detected. Avoiding Pace Pulse Repolarization Tails Some unipolar pacemakers display pace pulses with repolarization tails. These tails may be counted as QRSs in the event of cardiac arrest or other arrhythmias. If you note a visible repolarization tail, choose a lead that decreases the size of the repolarization tail. 1 Repolarization tail
(note width) 1 Changing the Size of the ECG Wave If any of the displayed ECG waves is too small or clipped, you can change the size of one or all of the ECG waves on the screen. Changing the adjustment factor only changes the visual appearance of the ECG wave on the screen. It does not affect the ECG signal analyzed by the monitor. Comparing the wave size to the 1 mV calibration bar on the ECG wave segment can help you to get an idea of the true ECG signal strength. If you choose a fixed adjustment factor, the 1 mV calibration bar will be the same size for all the displayed ECG waves. If you choose AutoSize, or an individual size using the Size Up / Size Down keys, the calibration bar may be a different size for each wave. To Change the Size of an Individual ECG Wave 1 Select the wave segment you want to change. This calls up the lead menu for this segment. 93 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Changing the Volume of the QRS Tone 2 In the lead menu, select Size Up to increase wave size or Size Down to decrease the size. Selecting AutoSize lets the monitor choose the optimal adjustment factor for all displayed ECG waves. To Change the Size of all the ECG Waves To change the size of all the ECG waves on the screen by a fixed adjustment factor, 1 2 In the Setup ECG menu, select Adjust Size. Select the required adjustment factor from the line of pop-up keys. Size x0.5 to halve the wave size Size x1 to display the wave without zoom Size x2 to double the wave size Size x4 to multiply the wave size by four Changing the Volume of the QRS Tone The QRS tone is derived from either the HR or Pulse, depending on which is currently selected as the alarm source. The QRS volume can be set from 0 to 10 (0 means off). To change the QRS volume, in the Setup ECG menu select QRS Volume and then select the appropriate volume from the pop-up list. Changing the ECG Filter Settings The ECG filter setting defines how ECG waves are smoothed. An abbreviation indicating the filter type is shown underneath the lead label on the monitor display. Filter settings do not affect ST measurement. To change the filter setting, in the Setup ECG menu, select Filter and then select the appropriate setting. Monitor: Use under normal measurement conditions. Ext. Monitor: Use for pediatric and neonatal patients when diagnostic quality is required but low frequency interference or a wandering baseline may be expected. The upper edge frequency is the same as the Diag setting and the lower edge frequency is the same as the Monitor setting. Filter: The filter reduces interference to the signal. It should be used if the signal is distorted by high frequency or low frequency interference. High frequency interference usually results in large amplitude spikes making the ECG signal look irregular. Low frequency interference usually leads to a wandering or rough baseline. In the operating room, the Filter reduces artifacts and interference from electro-surgical units. Under normal measurement conditions, selecting Filter may suppress the QRS complexes too much and thus interfere with the clinical evaluation of the ECG displayed on the monitor. This does not affect the ECG analysis performed by the monitor. If AutoFilter is set to On in Configuration Mode, the filter setting will automatically be set to Filter if electromagnetic interference is detected. 94 Selecting Positions of Va and Vb Chest Leads (for 6-lead placement) 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Diag: Use when diagnostic quality is required. The unfiltered ECG wave is displayed so that changes such as R-wave notching or discrete elevation or depression of the ST segments are visible. The setting Diag selects the highest available ECG bandwidth which is 0.05 to 150 Hz for the Adult, Pedi and Neo patient category. The term diagnostic relates only to the ECG bandwidth requirements for diagnostic electrocardiographic devices as outlined in the ANSI/AAMI standard EC11-1991. When you are using a telemetry transmitter connected via short range radio to the monitor, the upper bandwidth for all filter settings is limited to 40 Hz. Selecting Positions of Va and Vb Chest Leads (for 6-
lead placement) The two chest leads for the 6-lead placement can be positioned at any two of the V1 to V6 positions. Select the positions you have used in the Setup ECG menu, so that the chest leads will be correctly labeled. In the Setup ECG menu, select Va Lead. Select the position used from the list. Select Vb Lead and select the position used from the list 1 2 3 Choosing EASI or Standard Lead Placement You must enable either standard lead placement or EASI lead placement. In the Setup ECG menu, select Placement and then Standard or EASI. EASI is shown beside the 1mV calibration bar on the ECG wave on the display, and EASI is marked on any printouts. See the section on EASI ECG Lead Placement for electrode placement diagrams. About ECG Leads To make it possible to compare measured ECG signals, the electrodes (or lead sets) are placed in standardized positions, forming so-called leads. To obtain ECG signals optimized for use in diagnosis and patient management in different care environments, different lead sets in varying lead placements can be used. You can use either standard lead placements or EASI lead placements with this monitor. When placing electrodes, choose a flat, non-muscular site where the signal will not be interfered with by either movement or bones. Correct lead placement is always important for accurate diagnosis. Especially in the precordial leads, which are close to the heart, QRS morphology can be greatly altered if an electrode is moved away from its correct location. 95 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ECG Lead Fallback ECG Leads Monitored If you are using a 3-electrode set a 5-electrode set a 6-electrode set a 10-electrode set an EASI 5-electrode set these leads are available:
Resp is measured between electrodes:
RA and LL I, II, III RA and LL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V and MCL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, Va, Vb RA and LL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 RA and LL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 I and A Changing Lead Sets To change the ECG lead set, When adding leads: place the additional electrodes as required - the monitor automatically recognizes the new lead placement. When removing leads: there are two possibilities - removing the complete chest leads block or removing individual leads. If you unplug the chest lead block from the trunk cable connector, the monitor will automatically recognize the new lead placement. Remove individual leads by removing the electrodes. The monitor will issue a Lead Off INOP message; select New Lead Setup in the Setup ECG menu and the INOP message will disappear. ECG Lead Fallback If fallback is configured on and there is a leads off INOP in the primary lead (and in the secondary lead, if you are using multi-lead monitoring) for longer than 10 seconds, and if another lead is available, this available lead automatically becomes the primary lead. This is known as lead fallback. When the Leads Off condition is corrected, the leads are automatically switched back. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. ECG Lead Placements The labels and colors of the ECG electrodes differ according to the standards that apply for your hospital. The electrode placement illustrations in this chapter use the AAMI labels and colors. Electrode labels Electrode colors AAMI EASI IEC AAMI RA LA LL RL V V1 V2 I S A N E R L F N C C1 C2 White Black Red Green Brown Brown/Red Brown/Yellow IEC Red Yellow Green Black White White/Red White/Yellow 96 ECG Lead Placements 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Electrode labels Electrode colors AAMI EASI IEC AAMI V3 V4 V5 V6 C3 C4 C5 C6 Brown/Green Brown/Blue Brown/Orange Brown/Violet IEC White/Green White/Brown White/Black White/Violet Standard 3-Lead Placement 1 2 1 2 3 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 3 Standard 5-Lead Placement 1 I aVR V aVL II 5 a V F 2 III 3 4 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 position depends on your required lead selection 97 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ECG Lead Placements 6-Lead Placement For a 6-lead placement use the positions from the 5-lead diagram above but with two chest leads. The two chest leads, Va and Vb, can be positioned at any two of the V1 to V6 positions shown in the chest electrode diagram below. The Va and Vb lead positions chosen must be selected in the ECG Setup Menu to ensure correct labeling. Chest Electrode Placement For accurate chest electrode placement and measurement, it is important to locate the fourth intercostal space. 1 2 Locate the second intercostal space by first palpating the Angle of Lewis (the little bony protuberance where the body of the sternum joins the manubrium). This rise in the sternum is where the second rib is attached, and the space just below this is the second intercostal space. Palpate and count down the chest until you locate the fourth intercostal space. Angle of Lewis 2 3 4 V3R V4R V1 V2 V3 VE V6 V4 V5 V7 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 to 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 right posterior axillary line in the fifth intercostal space 98 ECG Lead Placements 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring 10-Lead Placement When monitoring 12-leads of ECG, using a 10-Electrode Lead Placement, it is important to correctly place electrodes and to label all 12-lead ECG reports with the correct lead placement. Conventional 12-Lead ECG 1 2 5 4 3 1 - V1 - V6 2 - LA 3 - LL 4 - RL 5 - RA In conventional 12-Lead ECG using 10 electrodes, an electrode is placed on the right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg. Six V-
electrodes are placed on the chest. The right leg electrode is the reference electrode. Limb electrodes:
Place arm electrodes on the inside of each arm, between the wrist and the elbow. Place leg electrodes inside of each calf, between the knee and the ankle. Chest electrodes:
V1 - on the 4th intercostal space at the right sternal border V2 - on the 4th intercostal space at the left sternal border V3 - midway between the V2 and V4 electrode positions V4 - on the 5th 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 99 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Capture 12-Lead Modified 12-Lead ECG 6 5 1 2 4 3 1 - LA 2 - V1 - V6 3 - LL 4 - RL 5 - RA 6 - Angle of Lewis If your institution uses modified 10 Lead ECG electrode placement (the Mason-Likar Lead System), place the four limb electrodes close to the shoulders and lower abdomen. The six V electrodes are placed on the chest in the same position as the conventional 12-lead placement. Choosing Standard or Modified Electrode Placement If your institution uses modified 10 Lead ECG electrode placement (the Mason-Likar Lead System), you must switch ModLdPlcmt to On in the monitor. To do this, in the Setup ECG menu, select ModLdPlcmt to toggle between On and Off. When ModLdPlcmt is set to On, 12 Lead ECG Reports will be labelled 12 Lead ECG Report (Mason-Likar), and captured 12-lead ECGs will be labelled Mason-Likar to the right of the bandwidth annotation at the Information Center. When ModLdPlcmt is set to Off, 12 Lead ECG Reports will be labelled 12 Lead ECG Report, and captured 12-lead ECGs will not be annotated at the Information Center. WARNING Do not use ECG analysis interpretation statements and measurements for 12-lead ECGs obtained using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement. This may lead to misdiagnosis since the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement does not look the same as the conventional 12-lead ECG and may mask inferior infarction due to calculated axis, R, P and T wave magnitudes shifts and ST slope. Do not export 12-lead ECGs obtained using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement. Captured 12-Lead ECGs using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement exported from the Information Center are not annotated with the Mason-Likar label. Capture 12-Lead If the monitor is connected to an Information Center via a wired network, the Capture 12-Lead SmartKey may be configured. Selecting this exports 12-Lead ECG information to the Information Center for analysis. For details see the Instructions for Use supplied with the Information Center. 100 EASI ECG Lead Placement 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring EASI ECG Lead Placement Using a standard 5-electrode set in EASI lead placement you can monitor up to 12 standard ECG leads simultaneously and continuously at the bedside. EASI provides a monitoring method for trending ST segment changes that can provide an early indication of ischemia. WARNING EASI-derived 12-lead ECGs and their measurements are approximations to conventional 12-lead ECGs. As the 12-lead ECG derived with EASI is not exactly identical to the 12-lead conventional ECG obtained from an electrocardiograph, it should not be used for diagnostic interpretations. Respiratory monitoring is also possible with the EASI placement; respiration is measured between the I and A electrodes. Place the electrodes as accurately as possible to obtain the best quality EASI measurements. When EASI lead placement is selected, EASI is shown beside the 1mV calibration bar on the ECG wave on the display, and EASI is marked on any recorder strips and printouts. When EASI lead placement is selected, EASI is shown beside the 1mV calibration bar on the ECG wave on the display, and EASI is marked on any printouts. EASI Monitoring During INOP Conditions If one of the derived EASI leads has an INOP condition (for example, LEAD OFF), a flat line is displayed. After 10 seconds, the directly acquired EASI AI, AS, or ES lead (depending on which is available) is displayed with the corresponding lead label. This causes an arrhythmia relearn.

Special alarm features which apply only to ECG are described here. Extreme Alarm Limits The extreme rate alarms, Extreme Tachy and Extreme Brady, generated by the active alarm source, either HR or Pulse, are set in Configuration Mode by adding a set value (the ' value) to the high and low alarm limits. Extreme Brady Limit Low Limit High Limit Extreme Tachy Limit
' Extreme Brady
' Extreme Tachy You need to know which value has been configured for your monitor. Changing the high and low alarm limits automatically changes the extreme alarm limits within the allowed range. To see the extreme rate alarms set for your monitor, in the Setup ECG menu, see the menu items
'ExtrTachy and 'ExtrBrady. ECG Alarms Off Disabled Be aware that your hospital department may have decided to disable the setting ECG Alarms Off in the monitors Configuration Mode. In this case, HR alarms cannot be switched off in Monitoring Mode. If you try to switch off the HR alarms, you will see the message To activate enter Config and enable Alarms Off. HR Alarms When Arrhythmia Analysis is Switched Off When arrhythmia analysis is switched off, only these HR-related alarms will be detected:
the asystole alarm the ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia alarm the extreme tachycardia and extreme bradycardia alarms the high heart rate and low heart rate alarms. Enhanced Asystole Detection In order to improve alarming on asystole under certain conditions, you can set Asystole Detect. in Configuration Mode to Enhanced. In enhanced mode an asystole alarm will be suppressed for up to five seconds if a valid beat-to-beat Pulse is detected from a Pressure. 103 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ECG Safety Information ECG Safety Information CAUTION Interference from instruments near the patient and ESU interference can cause problems with the ECG wave. See the monitor specifications for more information. WARNING Defibrillation and Electrosurgery: Do not touch the patient, or table, or instruments, during defibrillation. After defibrillation, the screen display recovers within 10 seconds if the correct electrodes are used and applied in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. ECG cables can be damaged when connected to a patient during defibrillation. Check cables for functionality before using them again. According to AAMI specifications the peak of the synchronized defibrillator discharge should be delivered within 60 ms of the peak of the R wave. The signal at the ECG output on the IntelliVue patient monitors is delayed by a maximum of 30 ms. Your biomedical engineer should verify that your ECG/Defibrillator combination does not exceed the recommended maximum delay of 60 ms. When using electrosurgical (ES) equipment, never place ECG electrodes near to the grounding plate of the ES device, as this can cause a lot of interference on the ECG signal. General: When you are connecting the electrodes or the patient cable, make sure that the connectors never come into contact with other conductive parts, or with earth. In particular, make sure that all of the ECG electrodes are attached to the patient, to prevent them from contacting conductive parts or earth. During surgery: Use the appropriate orange electrode ECG safety cable, or lead cable with an orange connector, for measuring ECG in the operating room. These cables have extra circuitry to protect the patient from burns during cautery, and they decrease electrical interference. This also reduces the hazard of burns in case of a defective neutral electrode at the HF device. These cables cannot be used for measuring respiration. Pacemaker failure: During complete heart block or pacemaker failure to pace/capture, tall P-waves
(greater than 1/5 of the average R-wave height) may be erroneously counted by the monitor, resulting in missed detection of cardiac arrest. Patients exhibiting intrinsic rhythm: When monitoring paced patients who exhibit only intrinsic rhythm, the monitor may erroneously count pace pulses as QRS complexes when the algorithm first encounters them, resulting in missed detection of cardiac arrest. The risk of missing cardiac arrest may be reduced by monitoring these patients with low heart rate limit at or slightly above the basic/demand pacemaker rate. A low heart rate alarm alerts you when the patients heart rate drops to a level where pacing is needed. Proper detection and classification of the paced rhythm can then be determined. Filtered ECG signal from external instruments: Instruments such as defibrillators or telemetry units produce a filtered ECG signal. When this signal is used as an input to the bedside monitor, it is filtered again. If this twice-filtered signal is passed to the arrhythmia algorithm, it may cause the algorithm to fail to detect pace pulses, pacemaker non-capture, or asystole, thus compromising paced patient monitoring performance. 104 About Arrhythmia Monitoring 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring External pacing electrodes: When a pacemaker with external pacing electrodes is being used on a patient, arrhythmia monitoring is severely compromised due to the high energy level in the pacer pulse. This may result in the arrhythmia algorithms failure to detect pacemaker noncapture or asystole. Fusion beat pacemakers: Pacemakers that create fusion beats (pace pulse on top of the QRS complex) cannot be detected by the monitors QRS detector. Rate adaptive pacemakers: Implanted pacemakers which can adapt to the Minute Ventilation rate may occasionally react on the Impedance measurement used by patient monitors for the determination of the Resp value and execute pacing with the maximum programmed rate. Switching off the Resp measurement can prevent this. About Arrhythmia Monitoring Arrhythmia analysis provides information on your patients condition, including heart rate, PVC rate, rhythm, and ectopics. The monitor uses the user-selected primary and secondary ECG leads for single-
lead or multi-lead arrhythmia analysis. During arrhythmia analysis, the monitor continuously optimizes ECG signal quality. This is important for arrhythmia analysis. The monitor continuously filters the ECG signal to remove baseline wander, muscle artifact, and signal irregularities. Also, if the Patient Paced status is set to Yes, pace pulses are filtered out to avoid processing them as QRS beats. detects beats, for example, QRS complexes, identifying them for further analysis. measures signal features such as R-wave height, width, and timing. creates beat templates, and classifies and labels beats to aid in rhythm analysis and alarm detection. examines the ECG signal for ventricular fibrillation, asystole, and noise. Arrhythmia Options Your monitor has either the basic or the enhanced arrhythmia option. Both options provide rhythm and ectopic status messages and beat labelling. The number of rhythms being classified, events being detected, and alarms generated differs according to the option. The alarms available with the different options are listed in the section ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview on page 102, the rhythm and ectopic messages detected are listed in Arrhythmia Status Messages on page 109. Where Can I Find More Information?
See the Application Notes on ST and Arrhythmia supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the arrhythmia algorithm and its clinical application. 105 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Switching Arrhythmia Analysis On and Off Switching Arrhythmia Analysis On and Off In the Setup Arrhy menu, select Arrhythmia to toggle between On and Off. Select the Confirm pop-up key which appears at the bottom of the screen. 1 2 Be aware that when arrhythmia analysis is switched off, the message Arrhythmia Off appears beside the ECG wave, if configured to do so only the HR-related alarms are detected (the asystole alarm, the ventricular fibrillation/
tachycardia alarm, the extreme tachycardia and extreme bradycardia alarms, the high heart rate and low heart rate alarms) HR High and HR Low alarms behave like normal yellow alarms, no timeout periods are active. Choosing an ECG Lead for Arrhythmia Monitoring It is important to select a suitable lead for arrhythmia monitoring. Guidelines for non-paced patients are:
QRS complex should be tall and narrow (recommended amplitude > 0.5 mV) R-Wave should be above or below the baseline (but not bi-phasic) T-wave should be smaller than 1/3 R-wave height the P-wave should be smaller than 1/5 R-wave height. For paced patients, in addition to the above, the pace pulse should be:
not wider than the normal QRS the QRS complexes should be at least twice the height of pace pulses large enough to be detected, with no re-polarization. To prevent detection of P-waves or baseline noises as QRS complexes, the minimum detection level for QRS complexes is set at 0.15 mV, according to AAMI-EC 13 specifications. Adjusting the ECG wave size on the monitor display (gain adjustment) does not affect the ECG signal which is used for arrhythmia analysis. If the ECG signal is too small, you may get false alarms for pause or asystole. Aberrantly-Conducted Beats As P-waves are not analyzed, it is difficult and sometimes impossible for the monitor to distinguish between an aberrantly-conducted supraventricular beat and a ventricular beat. If the aberrant beat resembles a ventricular beat, it is classified as ventricular. You should always select a lead where the aberrantly-conducted beats have an R-wave that is as narrow as possible to minimize incorrect calls. Ventricular beats should look different from these normal beats. Instead of trying to select two leads with a narrow R-wave, it may be easier to just select one lead and use single lead arrhythmia monitoring. Extra vigilance is required by the clinician for this type of patient. Atrial Fibrillation Alarm The monitor performs atrial fibrillation analysis using information about the RR irregularity, PR interval variability and P wave variability. In order to generate an Afib alarm the following criteria must be detected for 1 minute:
normal beat RR intervals must be irregular 106 Understanding the Arrhythmia Display 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring PR interval deviation must be large P-wave region must not match well Atrial fibrillation analysis is only available for adult patients and atrial fibrillation detection cannot be performed on PVCs or Paced beats. Since most atrial flutters have regular RR intervals, they cannot be detected by the atrial fibrillation algorithm. An Afib alarm can be falsely detected in the presence of:
sinus arrhythmia, muscle noise, or electrode motion artifact. If you also have monitors with earlier software revisions, the Afib alarm will not be generated after a transfer to one of these monitors. Always leave the Irregular HR alarm switched on, so that this alarm can be generated in such situations. See the Application Note on Arrhythmia/ST supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the arrhythmia algorithm and ECG analysis. Intermittent Bundle Branch Block Bundle branch and the other fascicular blocks create a challenge for the arrhythmia algorithm. If the QRS during the block changes considerably from the learned normal, the blocked beat may be incorrectly classified as ventricular, causing false PVC alarms. You should always select a lead where the bundle branch block beats have an R-wave that is as narrow as possible to minimize incorrect calls. Ventricular beats should look different from these normal beats. Instead of trying to select two leads with a narrow R-wave, it may be easier to just select one lead and use single lead arrhythmia monitoring. Extra vigilance is required by the clinician for this type of patient. Understanding the Arrhythmia Display Your monitor screen may look slightly different from the illustration.

? = Insufficient information to classify beats I = Inoperative condition (e.g., LEADS OFF) M = Pause or missed beat 108 Understanding the Arrhythmia Display 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Status Messages The monitor displays two types of status messages:
Rhythm Status Messages -- to indicate the patients rhythm. Ectopic Status Messages -- to indicate the presence of ectopic beats. These status messages are shown on the right hand side of the primary ECG wave. They are updated every second, with the exception of the Sinus and Supraventricular (SV) rhythm messages. The Sinus and SV rhythm messages are updated based on the current heart rate, taking into account the patient category (adult, pediatric, or neonatal). For the message to change from one rhythm status to another, the HR must be in the new range for five beats. If you have basic arrhythmia capability, you will get only messages for the alarms provided with this level. Rhythm Status Messages The label B or E indicates basic (B) or enhanced (E) arrhythmia capability. Rhythm Status Message Description ASYSTOLE VENT FIB/TACH V-TACH SUSTAINED V-TACH VENT RHYTHM No QRS for 4 consecutive seconds in absence of vent fib or chaotic signal A fibrillatory wave for 4 consecutive seconds A dominant rhythm of adjacent Vs and a HR > the V-Tach Heart Rate Limit Ventricular tachycardia rhythm for more than 15 seconds A dominant rhythm of adjacent PVCs and a HR dthe V-Tach HR Limit A dominant rhythm of N, V, N, V A dominant rhythm of N, N, V, N, N, V A dominant rhythm of paced beats Consistently irregular rhythm A dominant rhythm of SV beats preceded by P-waves VENT BIGEMINY VENT TRIGEMINY PACED RHYTHM IRREGULAR HR SINUS BRADY SINUS RHYTHM SINUS TACHY SV BRADY SV RHYTHM SV TACHY UNKNOWN ECG RHYTHM Rhythm cannot be determined LEARNING ECG LEARNING RHYTHM CANNOT ANALYZE ECG ECG signal is predominantly invalid and therefore cannot be Algorithm is learning the ECG beat morphology Algorithm is learning the rhythm of the classified beats A dominant rhythm of SV beats not preceded by P-waves analyzed B or E B, E B, E B, E E E E E B, E E B, E B, E B, E B, E B, E B, E 109 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Relearning Ectopic Status Messages The label B or E indicates basic (B) or enhanced (E) arrhythmia capability.

Alarm timeout periods are cleared Stored arrhythmia templates are cleared Asystole, Vfib, and HR alarms (when there are enough beats to compute the HR) are active. No other alarms are active. Initiating Arrhythmia Relearning Manually 1 To initiate relearning manually, in the Setup Arrhy menu, select Relearn Arrhy. While the monitor is learning, the delayed arrhythmia wave displays the beat label L and the Next, the monitor determines the dominant rhythm. The beats are labeled N, and the rhythm rhythm status message Learning ECG. status message changes to Learning Rhythm. 2 After relearning is complete, you should check the delayed arrhythmia wave to ensure that the algorithm is labeling the beats correctly. 3 If beats are still not classified correctly, check that the ECG is optimized for arrhythmia monitoring. You may need to select a different lead or change the electrodes or electrode positions if there is excessive noise, unstable voltage, low amplitude, or large P- or T-waves. 110 Arrhythmia Alarms 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Automatic Arrhythmia Relearn Arrhythmia relearning is initiated automatically whenever:
ECG monitoring is switched on The ECG Lead or Lead Label of the primary/secondary lead is changed manually, or when fallback occurs A Leads Off INOP condition (that has been active for > 60 seconds) ends. If you are monitoring multi-lead arrhythmia and there is a change in one lead only, relearning happens only in the affected lead. During this learning phase, the system will continue monitoring using the other lead. Therefore, the delayed arrhythmia wave is not labeled L and there is no Learning ECG rhythm status message. In addition, alarm timeout periods are maintained, stored arrhythmia templates are maintained for the operative lead, and all alarms switched on are active. Arrhythmia Relearn and Lead Fallback Lead fallback triggers an automatic arrhythmia relearn. WARNING If arrhythmia learning takes place during ventricular rhythm, the ectopics may be incorrectly learned as the normal QRS complex. This may result in missed detection of subsequent events of V-Tach and V-
Fib. For this reason you should:
take care to initiate arrhythmia relearning only during periods of predominantly normal rhythm and when the ECG signal is relatively noise-free be aware that arrhythmia relearning can happen automatically respond to any INOP messages (for example, if you are prompted to reconnect electrodes) be aware that a disconnected EASI electrode triggers an arrhythmia relearn on all leads always ensure that the arrhythmia algorithm is labeling beats correctly. Arrhythmia Alarms Arrhythmia alarms can be switched on and off and the alarm settings changed just like other measurement alarms, as described in the Alarms section. Special alarm features which apply only to arrhythmia are described here. The different alarms detected and generated by the monitor depend on the level of arrhythmia analysis that is enabled. For a complete list of arrhythmia alarms and INOPs, see the Alarms chapter. The monitor detects arrhythmia alarm conditions by comparing ECG data to a set of pre-defined criteria. An alarm can be triggered by a rate exceeding a threshold (for example, HR >xx), an abnormal rhythm (for example, Ventricular Bigeminy), or an ectopic event (for example, Pair PVCs). 111 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Alarms Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms Yellow arrhythmia alarms are short yellow alarms specific to arrhythmia-related patient conditions. Depending on your monitor and Information Center configuration, they may be shown with one or two stars. The heart rate alarms (High HR and Low HR) can be configured as short yellow or standard yellow alarms. When they are standard yellow alarms they exist independently of the other arrhythmia alarms and no timeout periods apply. WARNING When arrhythmia analysis is on, all yellow ECG and arrhythmia alarms are short yellow alarms (one-
star). This means that the yellow alarm lamp and the tones are active for six seconds only, after which the blinking numeric and the alarm message remain for up to three minutes. The only exception to this are the HR High and Low alarms which can be configured as standard yellow alarms. Red alarms behave as usual. Arrhythmia Alarms and Latching When using arrhythmia analysis, Visual Latching and Audible Latching should be on for red alarms, or at least Visual Latching should be on. Because of the transient nature of arrhythmia alarms, many arrhythmia conditions may go unnoticed if alarm latching is off. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. Switching Individual Arrhythmia Alarms On and Off Some arrhythmia alarms can be individually switched on or off. They are:
Pacer not capture, Pacer not pace, Non-Sustain VT, Vent Rhythm, Run PVCs, Pair PVCs, R-on-T PVCs, V.Bigeminy, V.Trigeminy, Multif.PVCs, Pause, SVT, Irregular HR, Missed Beat, PVCs/min and Afib. To switch individual alarms on or off, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select the alarm from the list to toggle between On and Off. The monitor displays the INOP message SOME ECG ALRMS OFF, if configured, when more alarms are switched off than configured in your active profile. Switching All Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms On or Off All yellow arrhythmia alarms can be switched on and off together. To do this, In the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select All Yellow Off or All Yellow On. Adjusting the Arrhythmia Alarm Limits Some arrhythmia alarms have limits which can be individually adjusted. They are:
Vtach HR, Vtach Run, PVCs/min, Vent Rhythm, SVT HR, SVT Run, Asystole Thresh., Pause Threshold. 1 To adjust alarm limits, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select the alarm to be adjusted. 2 Select the appropriate setting from the pop-up list. 112 Arrhythmia Alarms 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout Periods Normally, an arrhythmia alarm is announced when an alarm condition is detected. However, there are certain situations that can inhibit the audible and visible indications of the alarm even though the alarm condition was detected. These include:
if a more serious alarm condition is active in the same chain if a timeout period is in effect for a particular alarm if a timeout period is in effect for a higher alarm in that chain. See Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining on page 114 for more details on alarm chains. What is a Timeout Period?
Timeout periods are automatically started when a yellow arrhythmia alarm is detected. During this period, the same alarm condition will not generate another alarm. Alarm conditions further down the same arrhythmia alarm chain will also not generate an alarm, but alarms further up the chain will: see Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining on page 114). This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. To view the timeout period configured for your monitor, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, see the menu items TimeOut 1st and TimeOut 2nd. Resetting the Timeout Period To reset the timeout period, press the Alarms key and then reselect it. How are Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms Indicated?
When a yellow arrhythmia alarm is generated, it triggers visual and audible indicators. Yellow arrhythmia alarms are always set to latch visually for three minutes except HR High/Low alarms, if configured to standard yellow. Depending on the alarm condition, audible and visual alarm indicators will appear as follows:
Alarm Condition Example Audible Indicators Short yellow alarm tone sounds ... Visual Indicators Alarm message displayed ... Single alarm instance Non-sustained V-tach Continuous alarm condition PVCs/min HIGH Same intermittent alarm condition Pair of PVCs when alarm condition is initially detected when alarm condition is initially detected and - as an alarm reminder - every time the configured time out period has expired each time the alarm condition is detected, provided that the configured timeout period has expired for 3 minutes (latching time) until the alarm condition stops, plus a maximum of three minutes latching time 113 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Alarms If you silence a yellow arrhythmia alarm and the alarm condition still exists, the visual indicators continue until the condition stops. You will get an alarm reminder every time the configured timeout period has expired. If you silence a yellow arrhythmia alarm and the alarm condition has stopped, the visual indicators are immediately cleared. Silencing an alarm does not reset its time out period, so you will not get a realarm for the same condition or lower on the chain until the timeout expires. Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining When arrhythmia analysis is switched on, multiple alarm conditions may be present. Announcing all of the detected alarm conditions would be confusing, and might hide a more serious condition. For this reason, arrhythmia alarms are prioritized in three alarm chains: PVC Alarms; Beat Detection Alarms, and Rate Alarms. Only the highest priority alarm condition in each chain is announced. Lower priority alarms in the same chain will not be announced while an alarm is active or during the configured timeout period. If alarm conditions of equal severity from different chains are detected, the alarm condition that occurred most recently is announced. The exception is Irregular HR, which only occurs if no other alarms are occurring. See ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview on page 102 for information on which alarms are included in the different arrhythmia options. See Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout Periods on page 113 for an explanation of how alarm timeouts work. 114 Arrhythmia Alarms 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Red Arrhythmia Alarms Asystole Vent Fib/Tach V-Tach Extreme Tachy/Extreme Brady Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms Beat Detection Alarms Chain Rate Alarms Chain Pause Pacer Not Captured/

*If HR High/Low alarms are configured as standard yellow alarms, they are independent of the arrhythmia alarms and are not in the Rate alarms chain. If there is an active Vent Bigeminy alarm, a PVCs > xx/min will not be triggered because it is lower on the same chain. However, a high HR alarm will become active because it is on a different chain. Higher priority alarms supersede previous alarms. For example, if a Vent Trigeminy alarm is active and a Pair PVCs occurs, the Pair alarm will be activated. Understanding PVC-Related Alarms PVC-related alarms are detected on the basis of the current ventricular heart rate and the number of consecutive PVCs counted (referred to as PVC Runs). Example: This diagram illustrates the conditions under which PVC alarms would be generated if the Vent Rhythm Run limit is set to 12, the V-Tach Run Limit is set to eight, and the V-Tach HR Limit is set to 100. 115 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Alarms V-Tach Run Limit

This information can be displayed in the form of ST numerics and snippets on the monitor. All available leads can be monitored continuously. The ECG waveform does not need to be displayed on the monitor for ST Segment analysis. ST analysis is always performed using a dedicated filter which ensures diagnostic quality. If you are monitoring ECG using an ECG filter mode other than Diagnostic, the ST segment of the ECG wave may look different from the ST segment of the ST snippet for the same wave. For diagnostic evaluation of the ST segment, always switch to Diagnostic filter mode or use the ST snippet. WARNING Some clinical conditions may make it difficult to achieve reliable ST monitoring, for example:
if you are unable to get a lead that is not noisy if arrhythmias such as atrial fib/flutter are present, which may cause an irregular baseline if the patient is continuously ventricularly paced if the patient has left bundle branch block. You should consider switching ST monitoring off if these conditions are present. This monitor provides ST level change information; the clinical significance of the ST level change information should be determined by a physician. ST segment monitoring is intended for use with adult patients only and is not clinically validated for use with neonatal and pediatric patients. For this reason, the recommended - and default - setting for ST monitoring in neonatal and pediatric modes is ST Analysis: Off. Switching ST On and Off To switch all ST monitoring on or off, in the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Analysis to toggle between On and Off. Selecting Leads for ST Analysis You select which leads to use for ST analysis in the Setup ST Analysis menu. To see the current list of leads selected for ST analysis:
1 Enter the Setup ST Analysis menu. 2 Select Setup ST Leads. This opens the Setup ST Leads pop-up window. Leads chosen for ST monitoring are listed here. There are two pop-up keys at the bottom of the screen:
Add Delete If all leads are already selected, the Add pop-up key is disabled. To choose a lead for ST monitoring:
1 Select the Add key at the bottom of the Setup ST Leads window. This opens the Choices pop-up window. 117 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Understanding the ST Display and Windows 2 Choose a lead from the list for ST monitoring. This closes the Choices window and adds the selected lead to the list of chosen leads. To disable ST monitoring for a lead:
1 Choose a lead from the list in the Setup ST Leads window. 2 Select the Delete key. This removes this lead from the list. NOTE The order in which ST leads are listed in the Setup ST Leads menu determines the order in which ST leads are displayed on the monitor screen. To change the order in which ST leads are displayed, 1 2 In the Setup ST Leads menu, choose a lead from the list. Select the Sort Up or Sort Down key to move the lead up or down in the list. Understanding the ST Display and Windows Your monitor screen may be configured to look slightly different from the illustrations. 2 3 1 ST-II 1.2 ST-V 2.5 ST-aVR -3.0 1 2 3 ST numerics Current HR alarm limits Current heart rate ST Numerics Up to 12 ST numerics plus the ST index can be displayed on the monitor screen. They can be configured to show beside the measurement numerics, beside the ECG wave, or beside the ST snippet. A positive ST value indicates ST segment elevation; a negative value indicates depression. ST numerics are displayed in the order in which you select ST leads for analysis. If there is additional space in the field assigned to ST numerics, the monitor will display extra numerics in the order in which they appear in the Setup ST Analysis -> Setup ST Leads list. Any ST leads switched on for analysis that do not fit in the assigned numerics field are shown in succession in place of the last ST numeric. ST Index The ST index numeric (STindx) is the sum of the absolute values for the ST leads V2, V5, aVF. Because it is based on absolute values, it is always a positive number. If you havent selected one of the leads V2, V5, and aVF for ST analysis, the STindx numeric will display a question mark ?. To switch the ST index numeric on or off for display, in the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST-Index to toggle between On and Off. 118 Updating ST Baseline Snippets 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ST Snippets ST snippets show a one second wave segment for each measured ST lead. The most recent snippet is drawn in the same color as the ECG wave, usually green, superimposed over the stored baseline snippet, drawn in a different color. The comparison shows any deviation in the measurement since the baseline snippet was stored, for example as a result of a procedure carried out on the patient. The information is updated once per minute. You can see ST snippets in the Adjust ST Points window or the ST Baseline window. ST Baseline Window The ST Baseline Window shows an ST snippet drawn on a grid. The current ST numeric and the ST numeric stored with the baseline are shown, as well as the difference between these two numerics. A ? in front of the difference numeric indicates that the ST measurement points were adjusted since the baseline snippet was stored. To view the ST Baseline window, select the ST numerics, then ST Baseline. 1 2 ST-II

ST Snippets and ST values are updated every minute. If there is artifact in the signal, it may take longer for an ST snippet and an ST value to appear. The first baseline is stored automatically after ST monitoring is started, or when a new patient is admitted. To update ST baselines, Select the ST numerics then ST Baseline to open the ST Baseline window. In the ST Baseline window, select Update Baseline to store all current snippets as baselines. This deletes all previously-stored baselines. 1 2 119 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring About the ST Measurement Points About the ST Measurement Points The ST value for each beat complex is the vertical difference between the ISO point and the ST point, as shown in the diagram below. The isoelectric (ISO) point provides the baseline, the ST point is at the midpoint of the ST segment. The J point is where the QRS complex changes its slope; as it is a fixed distance away from the ST point, it can be useful to help you position the ST point correctly. R-wave peak at 0 msec J point, for example, 48 msec T Difference = ST value P Q S Isoelectric point set to -80 msec ST measurement point, for example, J + 60 msec CAUTION The ST measurement points need to be adjusted when you start monitoring, and if the patient's heart rate or ECG morphology changes significantly, as this may affect the size of the QT interval and thus the placement of the ST point. Artifactual ST segment depression or elevation may occur if the isoelectric point or the ST point is incorrectly set. Always ensure that ST measurement points are appropriate for your patient. Adjusting ST Measurement Points Depending on your monitors configuration, the ST point can be positioned either relative to the J-point. In the Adjust ST Points window, the pop-up keys ISO Point, J Point and ST Point are visible and can be adjusted. or directly by selecting a numeric value for the ST point. In the Adjust ST Points window, you can adjust the ISO and ST point. The ST Uses setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. To adjust the ST measurement points, In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select Adjust ST Points to open the Adjust ST Points window. Alternatively, you can use the Adjust ST Points pop-up key in the ST Baseline window. Select a suitable ECG lead for ST measurement, with a visible J-point and a visible P wave. Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the ST snippets for the other ECG leads. 1 2 120 About the ST Measurement Points 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring 3 Select the ST point you need to adjust by touching the appropriate point on the screen.

ISO The J-point cursor positions the J-point relative to the R-wave peak. It helps you to correctly position the ST-point. Position the J-point at the end of the QRS complex and the beginning of the ST segment. The J-point cursor is not available if your monitor is configured to let you set the ST point directly. To position the ST-point relative to the J-point:
select either J + 60 or J + 80. Select J Point and use the arrow keys to move the J-Point and position the ST-point at the midpoint of the ST segment. To position the ST-point directly:
select ST Point and use the left and right arrow keys to position the ST point at the midpoint of the ST segment. Select the Apply Changes pop-up key to activate the new ST measurement points and recalculate all ST values. The most recent ST Points adjustment time is displayed in the Adjust ST Points window. This information is cleared when a patient is discharged or when a new Profile is loaded into the monitor. 4 121 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ST Alarms 5 To update the ST snippet shown in the Adjust ST Points window, select the Update pop-
up key. ST Alarms ST alarms are yellow alarms. Each ST lead has its own alarm limit. ST alarms are triggered when an ST value exceeds its alarm limit for more than one minute. Switching ST alarms off switches off alarms for all ST leads. If more than one ST measurement is in alarm, the monitor only displays the alarm message of the ST lead which is currently furthest from its set alarm limits. Single- or Multi-lead ST Alarming Be aware that if multi-lead ST alarming is switched on, only alarms involving more than one ST lead will be announced. To choose individual or multi-lead ST alarming, In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Alarm Mode and select either Single ST or Multi ST. Changing ST Alarm Limits The monitor can detect alarms on each ST lead separately, so you can set high and low ST alarm limits individually for each ST lead. You can also set separate alarm limits for single-lead and multi-lead ST monitoring. Set the high and low alarm limits based on your assessment of the patient's clinical condition, unit protocols, physician orders or medication specified limits. A good guideline is + 1.0 mm or - 1.0 mm from the patients's ST, or follow your hospital protocol. In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Alarm Mode and select Single ST or Multi ST. Select the alarm to be adjusted. 1 2 3 Select the appropriate setting. Viewing ST Maps The monitor can derive a multi-axis portrait (map) from the ST analysis to help you detect changes in ST values. It displays two planes obtained from a multilead ECG in a multi-axis diagram, where each axis represents a lead. The ST value at the J point is given. The position of the axes within the diagram correspond to the placement of the ECG leads. Each ST value is assigned to either a limb lead, or to a chest lead. Every axis shows the polarity of the lead it represents. By joining adjacent ST values, the monitor obtains the ST map. The contour line, and the map shading, is shown in the same color as the ECG parameter. Current View In current view, the monitor displays an ST map that corresponds to the current ST values. Three or more leads per plane are necessary to display a map. The left of the following diagram shows leads I, II, III, aVR, aVL, and aVF on the limb leads. On the right, the V-leads (V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6) are on the chest leads. 122 Viewing ST Maps 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring SBed10 Adult ST Map (Current) ST-II HIGH Limb Leads Chest Leads Size Up Trend View Size Down Select Interval Show Baseline Print Show Values If an ST lead is switched off, its axis is not shown in the map.

Select the Show Values pop-up key to see the current ST values. Select Hide Values and the display shows both ST maps again. Trend View In trend view, you can see up to four trended ST maps, and the current ST map, simultaneously. You can configure the time interval between trended samples. The most recent map is shown in the same color as the parameter itself. Past values change from white through dark gray. In the diagram below, the time interval between trends is 12 seconds. The first trended sample is white and is 12 seconds old. The second trended sample corresponds to the ST values 24 seconds ago and so forth. The ST values on the diagrams show the current ST values. If a lead is turned off, its axis is no longer shown. This has no impact on the presentation of trended values that were recorded while the lead was still on. In the diagram below, lead V4 was switched off 20 seconds ago. The current ST values and the first trended value reflect this change in the lead setup. All other maps are displayed the way in which they were recorded.

No data was recorded. Consequently, the affected maps are not closed. Viewing an ST Map To display an ST map, In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Map. Working in the ST Map Task Window You may need to activate the ST map task window to see all the data, and to access the pop-up keys. Select the map view on screen to activate its task window. Once you activate it, you can perform the tasks detailed here. Switching Between ST Map Views To switch between views, Select Current View or Trend View to toggle between views. If your trend view is empty, you need to adjust the priority of this measurement in the trending priority list. See Trend Priority on page 191. Displaying an ST Reference Baseline You can display an ST reference baseline for the current view, or for the trended view. The baseline is shown in yellow. However, if the ECG color is yellow, the baseline is shown in green. Use this baseline to detect ST changes. The baseline is derived automatically whenever the monitor relearns arrhythmia and also on user request. Select Show Baseline/Hide Baseline to toggle between baseline display on and off. Updating an ST Map Reference Baseline To update the baseline, In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Baseline -> Update baseline. Changing the Scale of the ST Map To change scale, Select Size Up or Size Down to alter the size at which monitor displays the map. 125 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Viewing ST Maps Changing the Trending Interval To determine how frequently the monitor displays a trended sample, In Trend view, select Select Interval. Select the required interval from the menu. The interval ranges between 12 seconds to 30 minutes. 1 2 Printing an ST Map Report To print the most recently viewed (current or trend) window, Select Main Setup - > Reports. Select ST Map. Press Print. 1 2 3 126 About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring The QT interval is defined as the time between the beginning of the Q-wave and the end of the T-wave. It measures the total duration of the depolarization (QRS duration) and repolarization (ST-T) phases of the ventricular action potential. QT interval monitoring can assist in the detection of prolonged QT interval syndrome. R P T Q S QT interval The QT interval has an inverse relationship to heart rate. Faster heart rates shorten the QT interval and slower heart rates prolong the QT interval. Therefore there are several formulas used to correct the QT interval for heart rate. The heart rate corrected QT interval is abbreviated as QTc. The monitor uses as a default the Bazett correction formula and the alternative Fridericia formula can be selected in Configuration Mode. For QT interval monitoring to be effective, basic or enhanced arrhythmia monitoring should be turned on. QT Measurement Algorithm The QT values are updated every five minutes except in the initial phase (first five minutes) where they are updated once per minute. Normal or atrial paced beats and beats with a similar morphology are averaged to form a representative waveform for further processing. Normal beats followed by a premature QRS will be excluded from the measurements to prevent the premature beat from obscuring the end of the T-wave. If the algorithm cannot form a representative waveform, for example because the morphology of the beats is too varied, a CANNOT ANALYZE QT INOP will be generated after 10 minutes. This is also the case if normal beats have been falsely labelled so that the algorithm does not have enough valid beats to make QT measurements. No QT value is calculated if the QT-HR is
>150 bpm (Adult) or >180 bpm (Pedi/Neo). Because of the different algorithm approaches, a QT/QTc measurement from a diagnostic 12-lead program may differ from the realtime measurement on the monitor. Where Can I Find More Information?
See the Application Note on QT/QTc Interval Monitoring and the QT Interval Monitoring Quick Guide supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the QT algorithm and performance. 127 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring Indications For Use Of QT Interval Monitoring Of special concern for QT monitoring is the administration of QT prolonging drugs to patients identified with risk factors for Torsade de Pointe. Females, older patients and patients with bradycardia, impaired left ventricular function (ischemia, left ventricular hypertrophy), hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia are in this increased risk category. Limitations For Use Of QT Interval Monitoring Some conditions may make it difficult to achieve reliable QT monitoring, for example:
the T-wave is very flat T-waves are not well defined due to atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation the end of the T-wave is difficult to define because of the presence of U-waves a high heart rate causes the P-wave to encroach on the end of the previous T-wave noise or high QRS morphology variation For these cases you should select a lead with a good T-wave amplitude and no visible flutter activity, and without a predominant U-wave or P-wave. Some conditions such as left or right bundle branch block or hypertrophy can lead to a widened QRS complex. If a long QTc is observed you should verify it to ensure that it is not caused by QRS widening. Because normal beats followed by ventricular beats are not included in the analysis, no QT measurement will be generated in the presence of a bigeminy rhythm. If the heart rate is extremely high (over 150 bpm for adults and over 180 bpm for pediatrics and neonates) QT will not be measured. When the heart rate changes, it can take several minutes for the QT interval to stabilize. For reliable QTc calculation it is important to avoid a region where the heart rate is changing. WARNING QT/QTc measurements should always be verified by a qualified clinician. Selecting The QT Leads For QT Monitoring you can select one of the following three modes:
All Leads mode - all available leads (I, II, III, V, MCL, V1 - V6) are used to produce a global QT measurement. For EASI lead placement, directly acquired AI, AS and ES leads are used. Primary-Lead mode - the primary lead will be used for QT measurement. If the original primary lead becomes unavailable or is changed, QT measurement will continue with the new primary lead. Single-Lead mode - a single lead selected from all available leads (except the augmented leads) will be used for QT measurement. QT measurement will stop if the selected lead becomes unavailable. To select the mode, Select the QT numeric to enter the Setup QT Analysis window. Select QT Lead and select All, Primary Lead or one of the available single leads. 1 2 When using the All Leads mode, make sure when you compare QT values that they are based on the same set of leads. 128 About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Changing the lead(s) used for QT measurements will not cause the baseline to be reset. QT View In the QT View window you can verify that the QT algorithm detects correct Q and T points. The current waves are shown in the upper half of the window and the baseline waves in a different color below. The Q and T points are marked with a vertical line. By selecting one of the lead labels at the top of the window you can highlight the corresponding wave; the other waves are shown in gray. The underlined lead labels are the leads used for the QT calculation. By selecting the numeric area you can highlight all underlined leads. Changing The View To A Single Wave Set To view one set of waves in a larger scale, you can cycle through the different views, Select Current view to see the set of current waves. Select Baseline view to see the set of baseline waves. Select Split view to return to the combined view with current and baseline waves. 1 2 3 Setting The QT Baseline In order to quantify changes in the QTc value, you can set a QTc baseline. For example to assess the effect of medication on the QT interval you can set the current value as the baseline before you begin medication. This baseline will then be used to calculate the 'QTc value. To set the baseline, Select Set Baseline and set the value. 129 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring QT Alarms If no baseline has been set for this patient, the first five minute value after the start of monitoring is automatically set as baseline. If you set a new baseline the previous baseline is discarded. As the 'QTc alarm is based on the difference between the baseline and the current value, setting an inappropriate new baseline may prevent a 'QTc alarm from being generated. Discharging a patient clears the baseline. Printing The QT Waves To start a printout, Select Print QT. Recording The QT Waves To start a recording, Select Record QT. QT Alarms There are two QT alarms, QTc high limit alarm and 'QTc high alarm. The QTc high limit alarm is generated when the QTc value exceeds the set limit for more than 5 minutes. The 'QTc alarm is generated when the difference between the current value and the baseline value exceeds the set limit for more than 5 minutes. The CANNOT ANALYZE QT INOP and the ?_will be displayed when no QT measurement could be calculated for 10 minutes. Up to this time the previous valid value will be displayed. The following additional messages on the cause of the invalid measurements may also be displayed. Additional Message QT Startup Asystole or Leads Off Cause of Invalid QT Measurement QT monitoring was just turned on or has been reset 1 Not all specified leads needed to perform QT analysis are available, or 2 Asystole condition is detected Not enough valid QRS complexes to generate a QT measurement Insufficient Valid Leads Invalid rhythm for QTc Not enough valid RR intervals to generate QT-HR, the averaged HR High QT-HR used for QTc calculation QT-HR exceeds the specified upper limit of 150 bpm (for adults) or 180 bpm (for neonates and pediatrics) R-wave of the signal is too small T-wave of the signal is too small End of the T-Wave cannot be accurately detected QT measurement is outside the specified range of valid QT values (200-

To switch an alarm on or off, in the Setup QT Analysis menu, select QTc Alarm or
'QTc Alarm to toggle between On and Off. Changing QTc Alarm Limits Set the high alarm limits based on your assessment of the patient's clinical condition, unit protocols, physician orders or medication specified limits. In the Setup QT Analysis menu, select High Limit. Select the appropriate setting. Select 'High Limit. Select the appropriate setting. 1 2 3 4 Switching QT Monitoring On and Off To switch all QT monitoring on or off, in the Setup QT Analysis menu, select QT Analys. to switch between On and Off. 131 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Switching QT Monitoring On and Off 132 8 8Monitoring Pulse Rate The pulse numeric counts the arterial pulsations that result from the mechanical activity of the heart in beats per minute (bpm). You can display a pulse from any measured SpO2 signal (pleth wave), or any arterial pressure (P, ABP, ART, Ao, PAP, UAP, FAP, BAP: see the pressure section for an explanation of the pressure labels). The displayed pulse numeric is labeled and color-coded to match its source wave. If the pulse numeric is not displayed, see the Setup Pulse menu to check whether it is switched on. Entering the Setup Pulse Menu If a pulse numeric is displayed on the screen, select it to enter the Setup Pulse (Pulse Source) menu. If no pulse numeric is visible, in the Setup SpO2 menu or a Setup arterial pressure menu, select Pulse (Pulse Source). System Pulse Source The currently selected system pulse source is shown in the setup menus of the pulse source measurements. The pulse rate chosen as system pulse:
is monitored as system pulse and generates alarms when you select pulse as the active alarm source is sent via the network to the Information Center, if available is trended in the HighRes Trends and stored in the monitors databases. To define which pulse rate is used as system pulse, 1 2 In the Setup Pulse menu, select System Pulse. Select one of the SpO2 or arterial pressure labels from the pop-up list, or select Auto. If you select Auto, the monitor automatically chooses a pulse rate to be used as system pulse. It looks through the list from top to bottom and activates the first pulse rate that is switched on and available. If your selected pulse source measurement becomes unavailable or is switched off, the monitor will use the next measurement from the list as system pulse until the selected pulse source measurement becomes available again. 133 8 Monitoring Pulse Rate Switching Pulse On and Off Switching Pulse On and Off To switch a particular pulse numeric on or off, enter the Setup Pulse menu via the measurement setup menu or wave menu of the pulse source. For example, to switch an SpO2 pulse numeric on or off, 1 Enter the Setup Pulse menu by selecting the Pulse numeric or by selecting Pulse in the Setup SpO2 menu. In the Setup Pulse menu, select Pulse (Pulse Source) to toggle between On and Off. 2 Using Pulse Alarms You can change pulse rate alarm limits in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu which can be accessed from the Setup Pulse menu or the Setup ECG menu by selecting AlarmSrc (xxx) where xxx is the current alarm source. Changing the alarm limits for a specific Pulse numeric changes the alarm limits for all pulse rate alarms and heart rate alarms. Pulse alarms are only generated when the active alarm source is set to Pulse, a pulse source is set as system pulse and pulse alarms are switched on. Selecting the Active Alarm Source: ECG or Pulse?
In most cases the HR and Pulse numerics are identical. In order to avoid simultaneous alarms on HR and Pulse, the monitor uses either ECG or Pulse as its active alarm source. To change the alarm source, select AlarmSrc in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu, then select ECG: if you want the HR to be the alarm source for HR/Pulse. Pulse: If you select Pulse as the active alarm source, the monitor will prompt you to confirm your choice. Be aware that if you select Pulse as the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched off. Auto: If the AlarmSrc is set to Auto, the monitor will use the heart rate from the ECG measurement as the alarm source whenever the ECG measurement is switched on and at least one ECG lead can be measured without an INOP condition. The monitor will automatically switch to Pulse as the alarm source if:
a valid ECG lead can no longer be measured and a Pulse source is switched on and available, The monitor then uses the pulse rate from the measurement currently active as system pulse. While Pulse is the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched off. If an ECG lead becomes available again, the monitor automatically uses HR as alarm source. Note: If ECG is switched off, the monitor will always change to Pulse as alarm source, if a Pulse is available. One exception to this rule can arise when you have a telemetry device paired with your monitor. The monitor ECG is then deactivated but the monitor may be configured to allow only ECG as the active alarm source. In this case the monitor will not switch to Pulse as alarm source and Pulse will not be available as a selection in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu. 134 Using Pulse Alarms 8 Monitoring Pulse Rate WARNING Selecting Pulse as the active alarm source for HR/Pulse switches off the arrhythmia alarms listed in the section ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview on page 102, including Asystole, Vfib and Vtach alarms, and the heart rate alarms. This is indicated by the message ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF (unless this has been configured off for your monitor), and the crossed-out alarm symbol beside the ECG heart rate numeric. The message ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF can be configured off, or to switch to a yellow
(medium severity) INOP after a fixed number of hours. High and low pulse rate and extreme bradycardia and extreme tachycardia alarms from pulse are active. Alarm Source Selection Disabled If Alarm Source Selection is disabled, you cannot change the alarm source. If you try to change the source, the monitor displays the message To activate enter Config and enable Alarm Source Selection. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. Changing HR/Pulse Alarm Limits As Pulse and HR share the same high and low alarm limits, if you change the alarm limit in the Setup Pulse menu, the high or low alarm limits for HR in the Setup ECG menu change automatically, and vice versa. The only exceptions are caused by a low limit clamp for each measurement: the lowest value for Pulse when derived from SpO2 is 30 bpm; for HR 15 bpm, and for Pressure 25 bpm. Extreme Alarm Limits The extreme rate alarms, Extreme Tachy and Extreme Brady, generated by the active alarm source, either HR or Pulse, are set in Configuration Mode by adding a set value to the high and low alarm limits. You need to know what value has been configured for your monitor. Changing the high and low alarm limits automatically changes the extreme alarm limits within the allowed range. To see the values added to the high and low limit alarms to create the extreme rate alarms for your monitor, in the Setup ECG menu, see the menu items Extr.Tachy and Extr.Brady. QRS Tone The active alarm source is also used as a source for the QRS tone. You can change the tone volume in the Setup SpO2 and Setup ECG menus and the QRS tone modulation in the Setup SpO2 menu. WARNING The audible QRS tone might be influenced by external interference and is not intended to be used as a substitute for ECG based arrhythmia analysis. If arrhythmia detection is needed, do not rely on the audible QRS tone. 135 8 Monitoring Pulse Rate Using Pulse Alarms 136 9 9Monitoring Respiration Rate
(Resp) For the respiratory measurement (Resp), the monitor measures the thoracic impedance between two ECG electrodes on the patients chest. Changes in the impedance due to thoracic movement produce the Resp waveform on the monitor screen. The monitor counts the waveform cycles to calculate the respiration rate (RR). Lead Placement for Monitoring Resp Correct patient skin preparation techniques for electrode placement are important for Resp measurement: you will find this information in the chapter on ECG. The Resp measurement uses the standard ECG cable sets and lead placements. You can use any of the different types of ECG cable sets - 3-lead, 5-lead, 6-lead or 10-lead, using either standard or EASI placement - to measure Resp, as long as you use ICU ECG cables. The Resp signal is always measured between two of the ECG electrodes. If you are using standard ECG electrode placement, Resp is measured between the RA and LL electrodes. If you are using EASI ECG electrode placement, Resp is measured between the I and A electrodes. Optimizing Lead Placement for Resp If you want to measure Resp and you are already measuring ECG, you may need to optimize placement of the two electrodes between which Resp will be measured for some patients. Repositioning ECG electrodes from standard positions, especially when you are using EASI ECG electrode placement, results in changes in the ECG waveform and may influence ST and arrhythmia interpretation. Cardiac Overlay 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 electrode placement can help to reduce cardiac overlay: avoid the liver area and the ventricles of the heart in the line between the respiratory electrodes. This is particularly important for neonates. 137 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Understanding the Resp Display Lateral Chest Expansion Some patients, especially neonates, expand their chests laterally. In these cases it is best to place the two respiratory electrodes in the right midaxillary and left lateral chest areas at the patients maximum point of breathing movement to optimize the respiratory wave. Abdominal Breathing Some patients with restricted chest movement breathe mainly abdominally. In these cases, you may need to place the left leg electrode on the left abdomen at the point of maximum abdominal expansion to optimize the respiratory wave. Understanding the Resp Display The Resp measurement is displayed on the monitor as a continuous wave and a numeric respiration rate. If the detected respiration rate is close to the heart rate, this is indicated by the text HR = RR next to the respiration wave if you are in manual monitoring mode. Your monitor screen may look slightly different from the illustration. 1 Ohm calibration bar Manually-set Resp detection level Resp 1 Ohm Resp numeric and label 22RR Changing Resp Detection Modes The Resp detection level can be set either automatically or manually. To change the resp detection mode, in the Setup Resp menu, select Detection to toggle between the settings. Auto Detection Mode In Auto Detection Mode, the monitor adjusts the detection level automatically, depending on the wave height and the presence of cardiac artifact. Note that in Auto Detection Mode, the detection level (a dotted line) is not displayed on the waveform, 138 Changing the Size of the Respiration Wave 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) the algorithm expects a heart rate and therefore needs at least 3 electrodes attached to the patient. If you are monitoring respiration with only two electrodes, the detection algorithm becomes less sensitive which may result in reduced breath detection performance. Use Auto Detection Mode for situations where:
the respiration rate is not close to the heart rate breathing is spontaneous, with or without continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) patients are ventilated, except patients with Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (IMV). Manual Detection Mode In Manual Detection Mode you must set the Resp detection level. In the Setup Resp menu, select Manual Up or Manual Down. Use the dotted detection level line in the Resp waveform to determine when the desired level is reached. Once set, the detection level will not adapt automatically to different respiration depths. It is important to remember that if the depth of breathing changes, you may need to change the detection level. Use Manual Detection Mode for situations where:
the respiration rate and the heart rate are close. patients have Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation. respiration is weak. Try repositioning the electrodes to improve the signal. Resp Detection Modes and Cardiac Overlay In Auto Detection Mode: If you are monitoring Resp and the ECG is switched off, the monitor cannot compare the ECG and Resp rates to detect cardiac overlay. The respiration detection level is automatically set higher to prevent the detection of cardiac overlay as respiration. In Manual Detection Mode: Cardiac overlay can in certain situations trigger the respiration counter. This may lead to a false indication of a high respiration rate or an undetected apnea condition. If you suspect that cardiac overlay is being registered as breathing activity, raise the detection level above the zone of cardiac overlay. If the Resp wave is so small that raising the detection level is not possible, you may need to optimize the electrode placement as described in the section Lateral Chest Expansion. Changing the Size of the Respiration Wave 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 Setup Resp menu, select Size Up to increase the size of the wave or Size Down to decrease it. 139 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Changing the Speed of the Respiration Wave Changing the Speed of the Respiration Wave Resp waveforms are usually viewed at a slower speed than other waveforms. For this reason, the Resp measurement has its own speed control and is not affected by the wave speed settings of the other measurements. Select the Resp wave to enter the Resp Wave menu, then select Change Speed. Choose the required speed from the pop-up list. This defines the speed at which the wave is drawn across the screen in millimeters per second (mm/s). Using Resp Alarms Resp alarms can be switched on and off and the high and low alarm limits can be changed just like other measurement alarms, as described in the Alarms chapter. Changing the Apnea Alarm Delay The apnea alarm is a high priority red alarm used to detect apneas. The apnea alarm delay time defines the time period between the point where the monitor cannot detect any respiration activity and the indication of the apnea alarm. In the Setup Resp menu, select Apnea Time. Select the appropriate setting. 1 2 Resp Safety Information WARNING Respiration detection level If you do not set the detection level for the respiration correctly in manual detection mode, it may not be possible for the monitor to detect apnea. If you set the detection level too low, the monitor is more likely to detect cardiac activity, and to falsely interpret cardiac activity as respiratory activity in the case of apnea. Apnea The respiration measurement does not recognize obstructive and mixed apneas it only indicates an alarm when a pre-adjusted time has elapsed since the last detected breath. The safety and effectiveness of the respiration measurement method in the detection of apnea, particularly the apnea of prematurity and apnea of infancy, has not been established. Interference If operating under conditions according to the EMC Standard EN 60601-1-2 (Radiated Immunity 3V/m), field strengths above 1V/m may cause erroneous measurements at various frequencies. Therefore it is recommended to avoid the use of electrically radiating equipment in close proximity to the respiration measurement unit. Resp Accessories To monitor respiration, use only the non-OR ECG accessories listed in the Resp section of the accessories chapter. You cannot measure respiration if you are using an orange OR ECG cable set. This is because of the higher internal impedance of the OR cable set, required for use if electro-surgery is being performed. 140 Resp Safety Information 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Rate adaptive pacemakers: Implanted pacemakers which can adapt to the Minute Ventilation rate may occasionally react on the Impedance measurement used by patient monitors for the determination of the Resp value and execute pacing with the maximum programmed rate. Switching off the Resp measurement can prevent this. 141 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Resp Safety Information 142 10 10Monitoring SpO2 Philips pulse oximetry uses a motion-tolerant signal processing algorithm, based on Fourier artefact suppression technology (FAST). It provides four measurements:
Oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO2) - percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin in relation to the sum of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin (functional arterial oxygen saturation). Pleth waveform - visual indication of patients pulse. Pulse rate (derived from pleth wave) - detected pulsations per minute. Perfusion indicator - numerical value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by arterial pulsation. The monitors are also compatible with SpO2 technologies from other manufacturers. Please refer to the instructions for use provided with these devices for further information. SpO2 Sensors Familiarize yourself with the instructions for use supplied with your sensor before using it. In particular, check that the sensor being used is appropriate for your patient category and application site. CAUTION Do not use OxiCliq disposable sensors in a high humidity environment, such as in neonatal incubators or in the presence of fluids, which may contaminate sensor and electrical connections causing unreliable or intermittent measurements. Do not use disposable sensors on patients who have allergic reactions to the adhesive. Applying the Sensor 1 Follow the SpO2 sensors instructions for use, adhering to all warnings and cautions. 2 Remove colored nail polish from the application site. 3 Apply the sensor to the patient. The application site should match the sensor size so that the sensor can neither fall off, nor apply excessive pressure. When using the M1195A Infant Finger Sensor, select a finger or toe with a diameter of between 7 and 8 mm (0.27 and 0.31). When applying a M1193A neonatal sensor do not overtighten the strap. 143 10 Monitoring SpO2 Connecting SpO2 Cables 4 Check that the light emitter and the photodetector are directly opposite each other. All light from the emitter must pass through the patients tissue. WARNING Loose Sensor: If a sensor is too loose, it might compromise the optical alignment or fall off. If it is too tight, for example because the application site is too large or becomes too large due to edema, excessive pressure may be applied. This can result in venous congestion distal from the application site, leading to interstitial edema, hypoxemia and tissue malnutrition. Skin irritations or lacerations may occur as a result of the sensor being attached to one location for too long. To avoid skin irritations and lacerations, periodically inspect the sensor application site and change the application site at least every four hours. Venous Pulsation: Do not apply sensor too tightly as this results in venous pulsation which may severely obstruct circulation and lead to inaccurate measurements. Ambient Temperature: At elevated ambient temperatures be careful with measurement sites that are not well perfused, because this can cause severe burns after prolonged application. All listed sensors operate without risk of exceeding 41C on the skin if the initial skin temperature does not exceed 35C. Extremities to Avoid: Avoid placing the sensor on extremities with an arterial catheter, or intravascular venous infusion line. Connecting SpO2 Cables Connect the sensor cable to the color-coded socket on the monitor. You can connect some Philips sensors directly to the monitor. For other sensors, use the corresponding adapter cable. CAUTION Extension cables: Do not use more than one extension cable (M1941A). Do not use an extension cable with Philips reusable sensors or adapter cables with part numbers ending in -L (indicates long cable version). Electrical Interference: Position the sensor cable and connector away from power cables, to avoid electrical interference. Humidity: For neonatal patients, make sure that all sensor connectors and adapter cable connectors are outside the incubator. The humid atmosphere inside can cause inaccurate measurements. Measuring SpO2 1 Select the correct patient category setting (adult/pediatric and neonatal), as this is used to optimize the calculation of the SpO2 and pulse numerics. 2 During measurement, ensure that the application site:
has a pulsatile flow, ideally with a perfusion indicator value above 1.0. has not changed in its thickness (for example, due to edema), causing an improper fit of the sensor. 144 SpO2 Signal Quality Indicator (Fast SpO2 only) 10 Monitoring SpO2 WARNING Inspect the application site every two to three hours to ensure skin quality and correct optical alignment. If the skin quality changes, move the sensor to another site. Change the application site at least every four hours. CAUTION Injected dyes such as methylene blue, or intravascular dyshemoglobins such as methemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin may lead to inaccurate measurements. Interference can be caused by:
High levels of ambient light or strobe lights or flashing lights (such as fire alarm lamps). (Hint:
cover application site with opaque material.) Electromagnetic interference. Excessive patient movement and vibration. SpO2 Signal Quality Indicator (Fast SpO2 only) The SpO2 numeric is displayed together with a signal quality indicator (if configured and enough space is available) which gives an indication of the reliability of the current values. The level to which the triangle is filled shows the quality of the signal; the indicator below shows a medium signal quality, the signal quality is at a maximum when the triangle is completely filled. SpO2 Assessing a Suspicious SpO2 Reading Traditionally, pulse rate from SpO2 was compared with heart rate from ECG to confirm the validity of the SpO2 reading. With newer algorithms, such as FAST-SpO2, this is no longer a valid criteria because the correct calculation of SpO2 is not directly linked to the correct detection of each pulse. When pulse rate is very low, or strong arrhythmia is present, the SpO2/Pleth pulse rate may differ from the heart rate calculated from ECG but this does not indicate an inaccurate SpO2 value. If you doubt the measured SpO2, use the signal quality indicator (if available) or the pleth wave and perfusion indicator instead to assess the signal quality. NOTE With pulse oximetry, sensor movement, ambient light (especially strobe lights or flashing lights) or electromagnetic interference can give unexpected intermittent readings when the sensor is not attached to a patient. Especially bandage-type sensor designs are sensitive to minimal sensor movement that might occur when the sensor is dangling. 145 10 Monitoring SpO2 Changing the Averaging Time Changing the Averaging Time Depending on the monitor configuration, you may be able to change the averaging time for the SpO2 values. The averaging time represents the approximate time period used for the calculation. The exact averaging algorithm depends on the SpO2 technology (option) used and on the signal conditions. The longer the averaging time, the longer the time needed until the SpO2 value reflects the physiological event. Fast averaging is useful for situations where an extremely fast measurement is required or few artifacts are expected. Use slow averaging where you expect the number of artifacts to be relatively high. In the SpO2 Setup, select Average. Select the required averaging time from the list. 1 2 Setting the Measurement Mode When a telemetry device supplies SpO2T to the monitor via short range radio transmission, the monitor will have a manual measurement mode available. This allows SpO2 measurements to be made on request and not continuously, helping to save the telemetry devices battery power. To set the measurement mode, In the SpO2 Setup, select Mode. Select Continuous or Manual mode. 1 2 Making a Manual Measurement When the measurement mode is set to manual, In the SpO2 Setup, select Measure SpO2. When manual measurements are made, there will be no continuous SpO2 monitoring or alarming. The manual measurement value reflects a momentary status. The numerics from SpO2T measurements made in manual mode, for example SpO2T, PerfT, PulseT, will remain for a time on the main screen. They are annotated with the time that the measurement was made to distinguish them from continuously measured values. Perf T Understanding SpO2 Alarms This refers to SpO2 specific alarms. See the Alarms section for general alarm information. SpO2 offers high and low limit alarms, and a high priority desat alarm. You cannot set the low alarm limit below the desat alarm limit. 146 Pleth Wave 10 Monitoring SpO2 CAUTION If you measure SpO2 on a limb that has an inflated NBP cuff, a non-pulsatile SpO2 INOP can occur. If the monitor is configured to suppress this alarm there may be a delay of up to 60 seconds in indicating critical patient status, such as sudden pulse loss or hypoxia. Alarm Delays There is a delay between a physiological event at the measurement site and the corresponding alarm at the monitor. This delay has two components:
The time between the occurrence of the physiological event and when this event is represented by the displayed numerical values. This delay depends on the algorithmic processing and the configured averaging time. The longer the averaging time configured, the longer the time needed until the numerical values reflect the physiological event. The time between the displayed numerical values crossing an alarm limit and the alarm indication on the monitor. This delay is the combination of the configured alarm delay time plus the general system delay time (see Monitor Performance Specifications on page 251). Adjusting the Alarm Limits In the Setup SpO2 menu:
Touch the high limit on the alarm limits menu button. Choose the high alarm limit from the pop-
up list that opens. Touch the low limit on the alarm limits menu button. Choose the low alarm limit from the pop-up list that opens. WARNING High oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to retrolental fibroplasia. If this is a consideration do NOT set the high alarm limit to 100%, which is equivalent to switching the alarm off. Adjusting the Desat Limit Alarm The Desat alarm is a high priority (red) alarm notifying you of potentially life threatening drops in oxygen saturation. In the Setup SpO2 menu, select DesatLimit. 1 2 Adjust the limit. Pleth Wave The Pleth wave is autoscaled to maximum display size. It decreases only when the signal quality becomes marginal. It is NOT directly proportional to the pulse volume. If you need an indication of change in pulse volume, use the perfusion indicator. 147 10 Monitoring SpO2 Perfusion Numeric minimum size for reliable SpO2 value Perfusion Numeric The perfusion numeric (Perf) gives a value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by the pulsating arterial blood flow. As pulse oximetry is based on the pulsatile nature of the signal, you can also use the perfusion numeric as a quality indicator for the SpO2 measurement. Above 1 is optimal, between 0.3-1 is acceptable. Below 0.3 is marginal; reposition the sensor or find a better site. Perfusion Change Indicator The perfusion change indicator is a graphic symbol which shows the change in the perfusion value, relative to a reference value which you can set. To set the current perfusion value as the reference value:
In the Setup SpO2 menu, select Set Perf Ref.. When a reference value has been set, the perfusion change indicator is displayed next to the perfusion numeric. Perfusion change indicator Setting SpO2/Pleth as Pulse Source In the Setup SpO2 menu, select Pulse (SpO2) to enter the Setup Pulse menu. In the Setup Pulse menu, select SystPulse and select SpO2 from the pop-up list. 1 2 Setting Up Tone Modulation If tone modulation is on, the QRS tone pitch lowers when the SpO2 level drops. Remember, the QRS tone is derived from either heart rate or pulse depending on which is currently selected as the active alarm source. In the Setup SpO2 menu, select Tone Mod. to toggle between Yes (for on) and No (for off). 148 Setting the QRS Volume 10 Monitoring SpO2 Tone modulation is licensed under US patent US 4,653,498 from Nellcor Puritan Bennett Incorporated. Setting the QRS Volume In the Setup SpO2 menu, select QRS Volume and set the appropriate QRS tone volume. 149 10 Monitoring SpO2 Setting the QRS Volume 150 11 11Monitoring NBP This monitor uses the oscillometric method for measuring NBP. In adult and pediatric mode, the blood pressure measurements determined with this device comply with the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers (ANSI/AAMI SP10-1992) in relation to mean error and standard deviation, when compared to intra-arterial or auscultatory measurements
(depending on the configuration) in a representative patient population. For the auscultatory reference, the fifth Korotkoff sound was used to determine the diastolic pressure. In neonatal mode, the blood pressure measurements determined with this device comply with the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers (ANSI/AAMI SP10-
1992) in relation to mean error and standard deviation, when compared to intra-arterial measurements in a representative patient population. The NBP measurement is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgery and during the discharge of a cardiac defibrillator according to IEC 601-2-30:1999/EN 60601-2-30:2000. A physician must determine the clinical significance of the NBP information. Introducing the Oscillometric NBP Measurement Oscillometric devices measure the amplitude of pressure changes in the occluding cuff as the cuff deflates from above systolic pressure. The amplitude suddenly increases as the pulse breaks through the occlusion in the artery. As the cuff pressure decreases further, the pulsations increase in amplitude, reach a maximum (which approximates to the mean pressure), and then diminish. Studies show that, especially in critical cases (arrhythmia, vasoconstriction, hypertension, shock), oscillometric devices are more accurate and consistent than devices using other noninvasive measuring techniques. WARNING Patient Category: Select the correct patient category setting for your patient. Do not apply the higher adult inflation, overpressure limits and measurement duration to neonatal patients. Intravenous infusion: Do not use the NBP cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion or arterial catheter in place. This could cause tissue damage around the catheter when the infusion is slowed or blocked during cuff inflation. Skin Damage: Do not measure NBP on patients with sickle-cell disease or any condition where skin damage has occurred or is expected. Unattended measurement: Use clinical judgement to decide whether to perform frequent unattended blood pressure measurements on patients with severe blood clotting disorders because of the risk of hematoma in the limb fitted with the cuff. 151 11 Monitoring NBP Preparing to Measure NBP CAUTION If you spill liquid onto the equipment or accessories, particularly if there is a chance that it can get inside the tubing or the measurement device, contact your service personnel. Measurement Limitations Measurements are impossible with heart rate extremes of less than 40 bpm or greater than 300 bpm, or if the patient is on a heart-lung machine. The measurement may be inaccurate or impossible:
if a regular arterial pressure pulse is hard to detect with cardiac arrhythmias with excessive and continuous patient movement such as shivering or convulsions with rapid blood pressure changes with severe shock or hypothermia that reduces blood flow to the peripheries with obesity, where a thick layer of fat surrounding a limb dampens the oscillations coming from the artery on an edematous extremity. Measurement Methods There are three methods of measuring NBP:
Manual - measurement on demand. Auto - continually repeated measurements (between one and 120 minute adjustable interval). Sequence - up to four measurement cycles which will run consecutively, with number of measurements and interval between them configurable for each cycle. STAT - rapid series of measurements over a five minute period, then the monitor returns to the previous mode. Use only on supervised patients. Reference Method The NBP measurement reference method can be Auscultatory (manual cuff) or Invasive (intra-
arterial). For further information, see the Application Note on NBP supplied on the monitor documentation CD-ROM. In Adult and Pediatric mode to check the current setting, select Main Setup -> Measurements
-> NBP, and check whether the Reference setting is set to Auscult. or Invasive. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. In Neonatal mode, to comply with safety standards, invasive is always used as the reference method. This setting cannot be changed and is not visible in any operating mode. Preparing to Measure NBP 1 Connect the cuff to the air tubing. 152 Preparing to Measure NBP 11 Monitoring NBP 2 Plug the air tubing into the red NBP connector. Avoid compression or restriction of pressure tubes. Air must pass unrestricted through the tubing. 3 Make sure that you are using a Philips-approved correct sized cuff and that the bladder inside the cover is not folded or twisted. A wrong cuff size, and a folded or twisted bladder, can cause inaccurate measurements. The width of the cuff should be in the range from 37% to 47% of the limb circumference. The inflatable part of the cuff should be long enough to encircle at least 80% of the limb. 4 Apply the cuff to a limb at the same level as the patients heart. If it is not, you must use the measurement correction formula to correct the measurement. The marking on the cuff must match the artery location. Do not wrap the cuff too tightly around the limb. It may cause discoloration, and ischemia of the extremities. Inspect the application site regularly to ensure skin quality and inspect the extremity of the cuffed limb for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If the skin quality changes, or if the extremity circulation is being affected, move the cuff to another site or stop the blood pressure measurements immediately. Check more frequently when making automatic or stat measurements. Correcting the Measurement if Limb is not at Heart Level To correct the measurement if the limb is not at heart level, to the displayed value add 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) for each centimeter higher or add 1.9mmHg (0.25kPa) for each inch higher. deduct 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) for each centimeter lower or deduct 1.9mmHg (0.25kPa) for each inch lower. Understanding the NBP Numerics Alarm source Measurement Mode Sys. Auto Timestamp/
Timer Alarm limits Systolic Diastolic Mean pressure Depending on the NBP numeric size, not all elements may be visible. Your monitor may be configured to display only the systolic and diastolic values. Alarm Sources if you have parallel alarm sources, the sources are displayed instead of the alarm limits. NBP Timestamp depending on the configured NBP Time setting, the time shown beside the NBP numeric can be:
Meas Time: the time of the most recent NBP measurement, or Next Meas: the time until the next measurement in an automatic series, displayed with a graphic representation of the remaining time, as shown here. 153 11 Monitoring NBP Starting and Stopping Measurements During measurements the cuff pressure is displayed instead of the units and the repeat time. An early systolic value gives you a preliminary indication of the systolic blood pressure during measurement. Starting and Stopping Measurements Use the Setup menu or SmartKeys to start and stop measurements. CAUTION Use clinical judgement to decide whether to perform repeated series of STAT measurements because of the risk of purpura, ischemia and neuropathy in the limb with the cuff. Enabling Automatic Mode and Setting Repetition Time 1 2 In the Setup NBP menu, select Mode and select Auto from the pop-up menu. For an automatic measurement, select Repeat and set the time interval between two measurements. Enabling Sequence Mode and Setting Up The Sequence 1 2 3 In the Setup NBP menu, select Mode and select Sequence from the pop-up menu. Select Setup Sequence to open the Setup Sequence window. Up to four measurement cycles can be setup which will run consecutively. For each cycle you can set the number of measurements and the interval between them. If you want to run less than four cycles in a sequence, you can set the number of measurements for one or more cycles to Off. Select each sequence in turn and select the number of measurements and the time interval between the measurements. 4 To have measurements continue after the sequence, set the number of measurements for your last cycle to Continuous and this cycle will run indefinitely. CAUTION Be aware that, if none of the cycles are set to Continuous, NBP monitoring will end after the last measurement of the cycle. When the NBP measurement mode is set to Sequence, the repetition time for Auto mode cannot be changed. Choosing the NBP Alarm Source You can monitor for alarm conditions in systolic, diastolic and mean pressure, either singly or in parallel. Only one alarm is given, with the priority of mean, systolic, diastolic. In the Setup NBP menu, select Al. from and choose from:
154 Switching Pulse from NBP On/Off 11 Monitoring NBP Menu option Pressure value monitored systolic Sys. diastolic Dia. mean Mean systolic and diastolic in parallel Sys&Dia diastolic and mean in parallel Dia&Mean Sys&Mean systolic and mean in parallel Sys&Dia&Mean all three pressures in parallel If mean is not selected as alarm source (Sys, Dia, or Sys&Dia selected), but the monitor can only derive a mean value, mean alarms will nevertheless be announced using the most recent mean alarm limits. When no value can be derived an NBP MEASURE FAILED INOP will be displayed. Switching Pulse from NBP On/Off In the process of making the NBP measurement, a pulse value can be derived and displayed. The pulse value is displayed together with the time the measurement was made. After one hour the value becomes invalid. There are no alarms associated with pulse from NBP. To switch the display of the pulse value on or off:
In the NBP Setup menu select Pulse (NBP). Pulse from NBP Pulse NBP Sys. Auto Assisting Venous Puncture You can use the NBP cuff to cause sub-diastolic pressure. The cuff deflates automatically after a set time (adult/pediatric 170 seconds, neonatal 85 seconds) if you do not deflate it. 1 In the NBP Setup menu select VeniPuncture. Puncture vein and draw blood sample. 2 3 Reselect VeniPuncture to deflate the cuff. During measurement, the NBP display shows the inflation pressure of the cuff and the remaining time in venous puncture mode. 155 11 Monitoring NBP Calibrating NBP Cuff pressure Venous puncture measurement mode NBP

Cuff-pressure transducers must be verified and calibrated, if necessary, at least once every two years by a qualified service professional. See the Service Guide for details. 156 12 12Monitoring Temperature WARNING Measurements from an MMS extension connected to the monitor are not available when the monitor is running on battery power. They are only available when the monitor is powered by the external power supply (M8023A). You can measure temperature using the built-in temperature measurement (optional), or one of the MMS extensions. Temp measurement automatically switches on when you connect a probe. You can switch the measurement off manually. Making a Temp Measurement 1 2 3 Select the correct type and size of probe for your patient. If you are using a disposable probe, connect the probe to the temperature cable. Plug the probe or temperature cable into the temperature connector socket. Temp connector socket 4 Apply the probe to the patient. You are advised to use a protective rubber cover on rectal probes. 5 Select an appropriate temperature label. 6 Check that the alarm settings (on or off, high and low limits) are appropriate for this patient and this type of temperature measurement. 157 12 Monitoring Temperature Calculating Temp Difference WARNING Make sure you set alarm limits for the correct label. The alarm limits you set are stored for that particular label only. Changing the label may change the alarm limits. Selecting a Temperature for Monitoring Tell the monitor which temperature you want to monitor by selecting its temperature label. The label is a unique identifier for each type of temperature. When you choose a label, the monitor uses that labels stored color and alarm settings. In the Setup <Temp> menu, select Label. Select the appropriate label from the list. 1 2 Temp Tart Tcore Tesoph non-specific temperature label. arterial temperature core temperature esophageal temperature Trect Tskin Tven Tnaso rectal temperature skin temperature venous temperature nasopharyngeal temperature Extended Temperature Label Set The following additional labels are available if Label Set is set to Full.

Label the measurement source as appropriate. 2 3 4 5 158 13 13Monitoring Invasive Pressure WARNING Measurements from an MMS extension connected to the monitor are not available when the monitor is running on battery power. They are only available when the monitor is powered by the external power supply (M8023A). CAUTION Do not use the MP2 in combination with other monitors using an M1006A pressure module and the HP1290A pressure transducer. This may cause interference on the respiration or invasive pressure signals. You can measure pressure using the monitors built-in pressure measurement (optional), or one of the MMS extensions. Setting up the Pressure Measurement 1 Plug in the pressure cable. Pressure connector 2 3 Prepare the flush solution. Flush the system to exhaust all air from the tubing. Ensure that the transducer and stopcocks are free of air bubbles. WARNING If air bubbles appear in the tubing system, flush the system with the infusion solution again. Air bubbles may lead to a wrong pressure reading. 159 13 Monitoring Invasive Pressure Setting up the Pressure Measurement 4 Connect the pressure line to the patient catheter. 5 6 If you are using an infusion pressure cuff with the pressure line, attach the pressure cuff to the fluid to be infused. Inflate it according to your standard hospital procedure, then start the infusion. Position the transducer so that it is level with the heart, approximately at the level of the midaxillary line. WARNING If measuring intracranial pressure (ICP, IC1 or IC2) with a sitting patient, level the transducer with the top of the patients ear. Incorrect leveling may give incorrect values. Selecting a Pressure for Monitoring Tell the monitor which pressure you want to monitor by selecting its pressure label. The label is a unique identifier for each type of pressure. When you choose a label, the monitor uses that labels stored settings, for example color, wave scale and alarm settings. The label also determines which algorithm is used to process the pressure signal, so an incorrect label can lead to incorrect pressure values. In the Setup <Press> menu, select Label.

Zero the transducer in accordance with your hospital policy (at least once per day). You must perform a zero:
when you use a new transducer or tubing every time you reconnect the transducer cable to the monitor if you think the monitors pressure readings are not correct. Zeroing ICP (or IC1/IC2) Your hospital guidelines may require you to zero the ICP transducer less frequently than other transducers, due to the need for aseptic conditions. When you zero an ICP transducer, the zero values are automatically stored and you will not be prompted to repeat the zero procedure. If you want to simultaneously zero all pressures except ICP, disconnect the ICP transducer from the monitor while zeroing. Reconnecting the transducer recalls the stored values. WARNING If you select the label ICP (or IC1/IC2), the measurement device uses the most recently stored zero. Therefore, make sure you zeroed the transducer correctly in accordance with the transducer manufacturers instructions and your hospital policy. When you use a transducer that you cannot rezero after placement, ensure that you keep the measuring device with the patient so that you are certain you have the correct zero data for this patient. Determining a Pressures Most Recent Zero The monitor displays the most recent zero on the status line. If this has timed-out after you have performed a zero, redisplay the information in the status line by entering the pressures setup menu. Zeroing a Pressure Measurement WARNING Invasive pressure alarms (and pulse alarms, if derived from invasive pressure) are temporarily suppressed until 30 seconds after the transducer finishes zeroing. 1 Turn off the stopcock to the patient. 2 Vent the transducer to atmospheric pressure, to compensate for the static and atmospheric pressure exerted on the transducer. In the setup menu for the pressure, select Zero <Press>. 3 4 When you see the message <Press> zero done at <date and time> on the status line, (for example, ABP zero done at 13 Mar 02 23.35) close the stopcock to atmospheric pressure, and open the stopcock to the patient. CAUTION When using high frequency ventilation, ensure that the tubing from the ventilator does not touch the arterial line, or connect with it indirectly, while zeroing the pressure. This could cause small pressure variations which can interfere with the zero procedure. 161 13 Monitoring Invasive Pressure Adjusting the Calibration Factor Zeroing All Pressures Simultaneously WARNING Before zeroing all pressures, make sure that all pressure transducers are vented to atmospheric pressure. If you are measuring pressures with more than one measuring device, using the Zero Press SmartKey to initiate the zeroing calls up a list of all active pressures. Select the pressure you want to zero or select All Press to zero all pressures simultaneously. Troubleshooting the Zero The status line lists the probable cause of an unsuccessful zero:

If this fails, exchange the transducer. Adjusting the Calibration Factor Each time you use a reusable transducer, compare the calibration factor written on your transducer with the calibration factor shown on the monitor. To ensure accurate measurement, they must be the same. In the Setup <Press> menu, select Cal. Factor. If the value here does not match that on the transducer, select the corresponding value from the list now in accordance with your hospitals procedure. 1 2 To confirm you want to use the new calibration factor, select the Confirm popup. Displaying a Mean Pressure Value Only Use this when you want to see only the mean pressure. In the pressures setup menu, select Mean only. Toggle between On to display mean pressure value only, and Off to display all pressure values (systolic, diastolic and mean). 162 Changing the Pressure Wave Scale 13 Monitoring Invasive Pressure Changing the Pressure Wave Scale 1 2 3 Select the label of the pressure wave whose scale you want to set to enter the Setup menu. In the Setup <Press> menu, (for example ABP) select Scale. Select a value from the pop-up list:
a positive value sets the top gridline. The bottom gridline is set at zero. a negative value sets the bottom gridline. The middle gridline is set at zero. Optimizing the Waveform In the Setup <Press> menu, select Optimum Scale to let the monitor select the best minimum and maximum scales for the current wave. Non-Physiological Artifact Suppression Some clinical procedures may affect blood pressure, for example, a flush procedure or a blood sample. Your monitor may be configured to suppress these non-physiological artifacts for a specified duration
(Artifact Suppression is configured to 30, 60, or 90 seconds). During artifact suppression, the monitor shows the INOP message <Pressure label> ARTIFACT, and a question mark is shown beside the pressure numerics. Pressure alarms and the Pulse NON-PULSATILE INOP are suppressed during the configured period. The CPP high alarm is not suppressed.

They are only available when the monitor is powered by the external power supply (M8023A). Only one CO2 measurement at a time is supported. Use the CO2 measurement to monitor the patients respiratory status and to control patient ventilation. There are two methods for measuring carbon dioxide in the patients airway:
Mainstream measurement uses a CO2 sensor attached to an airway adapter directly inserted into the patients breathing system. This method is available using the monitors built-in CO2 measurement
(optional), the M3014A Capnography Extension or the M3016A Mainstream Extension. Sidestream measurement takes a sample of the respiratory gas with a constant sample flow from the patients airway and analyzes it with a remote CO2 sensor. You can measure sidestream CO2 using the monitors built-in CO2 measurement (optional) or using the M3014A Capnography Extension, or the M3015A Microstream CO2 Extension. In both cases, the measurement principle is infrared transmission, where the intensity of infrared light passing the respiratory gas is measured with a photo detector. As some of the infrared light is absorbed by the CO2 molecules, the amount of light passing the gas probe depends on the concentration of the measured CO2. When using a wet ventilator circuit, monitor mainstream CO2 if available, in preference to sidestream CO2. The partial pressure is calculated from the gas concentration by multiplying the concentration value with the ambient pressure. The measurement provides:
a CO2 waveform. an end tidal CO2 (etCO2) value: the CO2 value measured at the end of the expiration phase. an inspired minimum CO2 (imCO2): the smallest value measured during inspiration. an airway respiration rate (awRR): the number of breaths per minute, calculated from the CO2 waveform. 167 14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Measuring CO2 using the CO2 Option or M3014A Depending on the Max Hold setting configured for your monitor, the etCO2 numeric shows either the highest CO2 value measured within the configured time period (Max Hold set to 10 sec or 20 sec) or the etCO2 numeric shows breath-to-breath value (Max Hold set to Off). WARNING Correlation: The etCO2 readings do not always correlate closely with paCO2, especially in neonatal patients and patients with pulmonary disease, pulmonary embolism or inappropriate ventilation. Pharmaceuticals in aerosols: Do not measure CO2 in the presence of pharmaceuticals in aerosols. Explosion Hazard: Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases, such as a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide. Use of the devices in such an environment may present an explosion hazard. Failure of operation: if the measurement or a sensor fails to respond as described, do not use it until the situation has been corrected by qualified personnel. Low etCO2 values: Leakages in the breathing system or sampling system may cause the displayed etCO2 values to be significantly too low. Always connect all components securely and check for leaks according to standard clinical procedures. Displacement of the nasal or combined nasal oral cannulas can cause lower than actual etCO2 readings. Even with combined nasal oral cannulas, the etCO2 readings may be slightly lower than actual in patients breathing through the mouth only. Measuring CO2 using the CO2 Option or M3014A The monitor (with the CO2 option) or the M3014A Capnography Extension measures partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patients expired gas using the mainstream method or the sidestream method. The mainstream CO2 measurement can be used, with appropriate accessories, with intubated adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. The sidestream CO2 measurement can be used, with appropriate accessories, with intubated and nonintubated adult, pediatric, infant and neonatal patients. With intubated patients, a sample of the respiratory gas is drawn from the patients breathing circuit through an airway adapter and a gas sampling tube. With non-intubated patients, the gas sample is drawn through a nasal or oral-nasal cannula. WARNING Altitude Setting: The monitor is not equipped with automatic barometric pressure compensation. Before the CO2 measurement is used for the first time, the altitude must be set to the correct value. An incorrect altitude setting will result in incorrect CO2 readings. The CO2 readings will typically deviate 5% for every 1000m difference. Electrical Shock Hazard: Do not open the monitor or measurement device. Contact with exposed electrical components may cause electrical shock. Always turn off and remove power before cleaning the sensor, monitor or measurement device. Do not use a damaged sensor or one with exposed electrical contacts. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Preparing to Measure Mainstream CO2 You must perform a zero as described in this procedure each time you use a new airway adapter. 1 Attach the sensor connector to the CO2 connector on the monitor (when the optional CO2 measurement is integrated) or on the extension. 168 Measuring CO2 using the CO2 Option or M3014A 14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide 2 Wait 2 minutes, allowing the sensor to reach its operating temperature and a stable thermal condition. 3 Choose the appropriate airway adapter and connect it to the sensor head. The airway adapter clicks into place when seated correctly. 4 To zero the sensor:
expose the sensor to room air and keep it away from all sources of CO2 including the ventilator, the patients breath and your own. in the setup menu for the CO2, select Start Zero Cal. When you see the message Zero done at <date and time> on the status line, the zero calibration is finished and you can begin monitoring. 5 Install the airway adapter at the proximal end of the circuit between the elbow and the ventilator Y-section. WARNING To prevent stress on the endotrachial tube, support the sensor and airway adapter. Position sensor cables and tubing carefully to avoid entanglement or potential strangulation. Do not apply excessive tension to any cable. Replace the airway adapter, if excessive moisture or secretions are observed in the tubing or if the CO2 waveform changes unexpectedly without a change in patient status. To avoid infection, use only sterilized, disinfected or disposable airway adapters. Inspect the airway adapters prior to use. Do not use if airway adapter appears to have been damaged or broken. Observe airway adapter color coding for patient population. Preparing to Measure Sidestream CO2 1 Plug the sensor cable into the monitors CO2 input connector. Allow the sensor two minutes warm up time 2 Connect the cannula, airway adapter, or sample line as appropriate, to the sensor. It will click into place when seated correctly. 3 To zero the sensor:
169 14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Measuring CO2 using the CO2 Option or M3014A expose the sensor to room air and keep it away from all sources of CO2 including the ventilator, the patients breath and your own. In the setup menu for the CO2, select Start Zero Cal. When you see the message Zero done at <date and time> on the status line, the zero calibration is finished and you can begin monitoring. 4 For intubated patients requiring an airway adapter: Install the airway adapter at the proximal end of the circuit between the elbow and the ventilator Y-
section. For intubated patients with an integrated airway adapter in the breathing circuit.: Connect the male luer connector on the straight sample line to the female port on the airway adapter. For non-intubated patients: Place the nasal cannula onto the patient. For patients prone to mouth breathing use an oral-nasal cannula. For nasal or oral-nasal cannulas with oxygen delivery, place the cannula on the patient as shown then attach the oxygen supply tubing to the oxygen delivery system and set the prescribed oxygen flow. WARNING Always connect the airway adapter to the sensor before inserting the airway adapter into the breathing circuit. In reverse, always remove the airway adapter from the breathing circuit before removing the sensor. CAUTION Always disconnect the cannula, airway adapter or sample line from the sensor when not in use. Using the Sidestream Sensor Holder The holder delivered with the sensor can be used to clamp the sensor onto an IV pole or a shelf. 1 Push the sensor into the holder until it clicks into position. 2 Clamp the holder onto an IV pole, a shelf or another appropriate location. To remove the sensor from the holder, release the clip and pull the sensor out of the holder. clip 170 Measuring Mainstream CO2 using M3016A 14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Removing Exhaust Gases from the System WARNING Anesthetics: When using the sidestream CO2 measurement on patients who are receiving or have recently received anesthetics, connect the outlet to a scavenging system, to avoid exposing medical staff to anesthetics. Use an exhaust tube to remove the sample gas to a scavenging system. Attach it to the sidestream sensor at the outlet connector. Measuring Mainstream CO2 using M3016A The M3016A Mainstream CO2 Extension measures partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patients expired gas using the mainstream method. When using the appropriate accessories you can use the mainstream CO2 measurement with ventilated adults, pediatric and neonatal patients. WARNING Infra-red radiation: Do not expose the airway adapter or M1460A transducer to infra-red radiation during use. This may cause incorrect readings. Preparing to Measure Mainstream CO2 1 Attach the transducer connector to the CO2 connector on the M3016A extension. 2 Wait 20 minutes, allowing the transducer to reach its operating temperature and a stable thermal condition. 3 Perform an accuracy check and then, if necessary, calibrate the transducer. Checking Transducer Accuracy WARNING Check transducer accuracy at least once a week or if you doubt the CO2 readings. 1 2 3 4 5 In Setup CO2 menu, select Cal. Mode to switch on calibration mode. Look at the calibration value displayed in the Setup CO2 menu next to Start CAL1. Is it the same as the value on the calstick? If not, calibrate the transducer now. Place the transducer on the low cell of the calstick (labelled 0.0 mmHg or ZERO). The reading on the screen should be zero within 1 mmHg within one minute. Place the transducer on the high cell of the calstick. The reading on the screen should be within 1 mmHg of the value on the calstick within one minute. If both readings are in range, you can leave calibration mode and begin monitoring. If either of the readings is out of range, calibrate the transducer. Calibrating the Transducer 1 Check that the windows on the calstick are clean and clear.

Place the airway adapter in the patients breathing circuit between the endotracheal tube and the Y-
piece. You may see the CO2 SENSOR WARMUP message until the transducer reaches operating temperature. Wait until this disappears before starting the measurement. 2 To remove the transducer from the airway adapter, open the latch and pull out the airway adapter. WARNING To prevent stress on the endotrachial tube, support the transducer and airway adapter. To avoid infection, use only sterilized airway adapters. 172 Measuring Microstream CO2 using M3015A 14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Measuring Microstream CO2 using M3015A The M3015A Microstream CO2 Extension measures the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patients expired gas using Microstream technology. The measurement is equipped with an automatic barometric pressure compensation. Preparing to Measure Microstream CO2 Use appropriate accessories for:
the patient type (adult, pediatric or neonatal), the ventilation situation (including humidification) the duration - short term use, up to 24 hours (typically OR), or long term use (typically ICU). All accessories are for single patient use only. Using Microstream Accessories The Microstream measurement can be operated with the special Microstream accessories only. Refer to the instructions for use provided with the accessory. For intubated patient with non-humidified ventilation, you can use a Microstream FilterLine set. For humidified ventilation, use a FilterLine H Set. For non-intubated patients, the gas sample is taken through a Nasal FilterLine, or a Smart CapnoLine
(which is a combined oral-nasal FilterLine). In parallel to the measurement of the CO2, oxygen (O2) may be delivered to the patient to support gas exchange. This is done by using an O2/CO2 FilterLine, or a Smart CapnoLine O2 (a combined oral-nasal O2/CO2 FilterLine). Using the FilterLine and Airway Adapter 1 Attach the female Luer connector to the CO2 inlet connector on the extension by pushing the socket cover down and screwing the connector into place. inlet connector cover outlet connector 2 Check that the FilterLine is not kinked. 3 Change the FilterLine if a CO2 OCCLUSION INOP appears on the monitor or if the readings become extremely erratic. 173 14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Setting up all CO2 Measurements Disconnect the FilterLine during suctioning and nebulizing therapies. Check the table in the Microstream CO2 Accessories section of the Accessories chapter for typical usage times for the different Microstream accessories. CO2 values for non-intubated patients using Microstream accessories will always tend to be lower than for intubated patients. If values appear extremely low, check whether the patient is breathing through the mouth or whether one nostril is blocked Removing Exhaust Gases from the System WARNING Anesthetics: When using the 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. Use an exhaust tube to remove the sample gas to a scavenging system. Attach it to the MMS Extension at the outlet connector.

This is called pairing and when a telemetry device and a monitor are paired, the measurement data from the telemetry device will be displayed on the monitor screen. A telemetry device can be:
any Philips telemetry device (only for indirect connections, see below). a TRx+/TRx+ Intellivue Telemetry system transceiver. How Can You Combine Devices?
With an indirect connection, using standard telemetry transmission - the data are sent to the monitor via the Information Center and arrive with a delay of several seconds at the monitor. With a direct connection to the monitor, via a short range radio link - the data arrive with a minimal delay on the monitor screen. Indirect Connection - Manual Pairing The telemetry device can be paired with the monitor at the Information Center or at the monitor. For detailed information regarding pairing and configuration at the Information Center, see the Information Center Instructions for Use. To pair the monitor with a telemetry device at the monitor:
1 Select Main Setup then Measurements Select Telemetry 2 The Setup Telemetry menu will appear with only one entry Paired Equipment. 3 Enter here the equipment label of the telemetry device to be paired. Pairing at the monitor is only possible when the monitor already has a connection to the Information Center and the Information Center software version allows pairing at the monitor. Telemetry Data Window The measurements from the telemetry device are shown in the telemetry data window on the monitor when there is no direct connection via short range radio link. 177 15 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient How Can You Combine Devices?

If you need realtime data, for example for defibrillation, always use the monitor ECG instead of telemetry. As long as the ECG is being measured with the telemetry device there will be no ECG signal available at the ECG Sync Pulse output. Direct Connection - Automatic Pairing The following direct connections are possible:
a TRx+4841A Intellivue Telemetry system transceiver connected via short range radio (SRR) link to an MP2 with SRR capability. If a telemetry device is assigned to a monitor via a direct short range radio link, the monitor and the telemetry device are automatically paired at the Information Center (if configured). The measured data from the telemetry device ECG and, if available, SpO2T will appear on the monitor screen and will be sent through the monitor to the Information Center. The ECG waves and numerics appear in place of the monitors own ECG, and SpO2T is displayed as an additional measurement. When ECG is measured with the telemetry device there will be no Respiration measurement derived. WARNING When ECG is being measured with a telemetry device directly connected to the monitor, there will be no ECG signal available at the ECG analog output or ECG Sync Pulse output and no synchronization marks on the ECG wave. A No ECG Out message will appear in the ECG wave channel. When a telemetry device is connected to the monitor, arrhythmia relearning is initiated, and again when the telemetry device is disconnected. 178 How Can You Combine Devices?
15 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient Controls on the Telemetry Device (e.g. nurse call) will be inactive when the device is directly connected to the monitor except in the case when the monitor has no network connection and data are transferred via the telemetry device. See the "Enhancing Telemetry Monitoring with the Monitor" chapter. Assigning a Telemetry Transceiver with an SRR Adapter to a Monitor Monitors which have this capability have a short range radio symbol A telemetry device with a short range radio adapter can be assigned to a monitor directly. To assign a telemetry device to a monitor:
on the model label. 1 2 3 Press the Check button on the telemetry device. The measurement selection key on the monitor will change to show the assign telemetry icon Select the assign telemetry icon. In the Assign Telemetry Device menu, select the correct equipment label for the telemetry device. 4 Check that the assignment is successful and that transmission has begun:
A Tele Device assigned message appears on the monitor a tone sounds at the telemetry device and the Laeds Off indicators light the ECG wave appears on the monitor To confirm that the correct telemetry device has been assigned, open the ECG Setup menu. The title of the menu contains the equipment label of the telemetry device; check that this is the correct label. If a monitor is already paired to another device, you cannot assign a telemetry device to that monitor. If the telemetry device goes out-of-range or loses the short range radio connection, it will switch over to standard telemetry transmission to the Information Center. In this case, the telemetry data is displayed in the Telemetry Data Window as described above. If a monitor is manually paired with a telemetry device with a short range radio adapter, the short range radio assignment will be automatically made. If a telemetry device disappears from the list in the Assign Telemetry Device menu, press the Check button on the telemetry device again. If the monitor is not configured to be used with a telemetry device, the assign telemetry icon will appear crossed out If the devices are unpaired, the short range radio connection will be ended. WARNING Short range radio connections are subject to interruption due to interference from other radio sources in the vicinity, including microwaves, bluetooth devices and DECT phones. Outside the operating frequency band and 5% above and below, i.e. the exclusion band according IEC 60601-1-2, section 36.202.3a)4), the short range radio connection is immune up to 3V/m in the frequency range from 80 MHz to 2.0 GHz and up to 1V/m in the frequency range from 2.0 to 2.3 GHz. Depending on the strength and duration of the interference, the interruption may occur for an extended period. A loss of connection, due to moving out-of-range, interference, or for other reasons, is indicated with a TELE DISCONNECT INOP. 179 15 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient How Can You Combine Devices?
Correct channel configuration is important, refer to the Configuration Guide for details. If a TELE DISCONNECT INOP occurs when the telemetry device goes out-of-range, the INOP will disappear (without being silenced) as soon as the ECG signal from the telemetry device is available at the Information Center via standard telemetry transmission. SpO2T Manual Mode When a telemetry device with a short range radio connection supplies SpO2T to the monitor, the monitor will have a manual measurement mode available. This allows SpO2 measurements to be made on request and not continuously, helping to save battery power. To ensure there is no gap in SpO2 measurements when moving from standard telemetry transmission to short range radio transmission, the measurement mode will always be set to continuous in this situation unless manual mode is set in both the telemetry device and the monitor. Unassigning a Telemetry Transceiver with SRR Adapter at the Monitor If a monitor and a telemetry device are paired, the assignment and the short range radio connection will be ended when the devices are unpaired (see Unpairing the Monitor and Telemetry Device on page 180). If the monitor does not have a connection to an Information Center, you must manually end the assignment and the short range radio connection. 1 2 3 Select the Measurement Selection key. In the Measurement Selection window, select the Tele pop-up key. In the Tele device window select Unassign Tele. Refer also to Use Models With Telemetry on page 202 for further related use modes. Unpairing the Monitor and Telemetry Device If the patient will no longer be monitored with the telemetry device, or only with the telemetry device and no longer with the monitor, you need to end the device pairing. After unpairing, the Information Center will receive data exclusively from the monitor or from the telemetry device:
select the Unpair To Mon. SmartKey to end pairing and have the Information Center receive the measurement data from the monitor select the Unpair To Tele SmartKey to end pairing and have the Information Center receive the measurement data from the telemetry device or use the Unpair function at the Information Center.

The window shows the equipment label of the assigned telemetry device and, for monitors with SRR capability, a battery status symbol and a symbol indicating the signal quality of the SRR link If the monitor has a connection to an Information Center, the pop-up keys Unpair to Mon. and Unpair to Tele let you end the device pairing. After unpairing, the Information Center will receive data exclusively from the monitor or from the telemetry device. If the monitor does not have a connection to an Information Center, or there is a pairing mismatch, the Unassign Tele pop-up key lets you end the telemetry device assignment and close the SRR link. Temporarily Stopping the Short Range Radio Connection To temporarily disable the SRR connection for this device, for example, in case of interference:
Select the Stop SRR pop-up key. This closes the SRR link and the telemetry device switches over to standard telemetry transmission. The battery status symbol will no longer be shown and the SRR quality indicator symbol will be crossed out. To return to SRR use:
Select the Start SRR pop-up key and press the Check button on the telemetry transceiver. Setting Up Measurements The Setup ECG and Setup SpO2T pop-up keys give you access to the measurement setup menus. The Measmt. Select. pop-up key takes you directly to the Measurement Selection window where all connected measurement devices are shown. General Telemetry-related Functions The following functions are valid for directly and indirectly connected telemetry devices. 182 General Telemetry-related Functions 15 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient ECG Source Tracking at the Information Center The Information Center continuously checks whether a valid ECG signal is coming from the monitor or the telemetry device. If you unplug the ECG patient cable from the monitor and plug it into the telemetry device, the Information Center will automatically switch to monitoring the ECG from the telemetry device. At the monitor, its own ECG measurement will be deactivated the ECG Setup menu will no longer be accessible. When you unplug the patient cable from the telemetry device and plug it back into the monitor again, the Information Center will switch back to monitoring the ECG from the monitor. The ECG measurement will be activated again at the monitor. Note that in this case, as the screen switches back to the monitors own measurements, the SpO2T measurement (if present) will no longer be displayed. In the same way the source is tracked when a telemetry device is directly connected to a monitor, then disconnected and vice versa. In case of ambiguity, a yellow INOP message !!CHECK ECG SOURCE indicates that more than one valid ECG source is active. Synchronized Settings If ECG is measured at the monitor, and then the patient is connected to a telemetry device for monitoring, the Information Center will use the monitor settings for the telemetry device. In general, the following settings will be synchronized:
Heart Rate ECG Arrhythmia ST QT SpO2T HR/Pulse Alarm On/Off, Heart Rate High/Low Limit, Primary Lead, Secondary Lead, Va Lead1, Vb Lead1, Lead Placement Analysis Mode, Asystole Threshold, Pause Threshold, VTach HR, VTach Run, PVCs/min, Vent. Rhythm, SVT HR, SVT Run, PVCs/

WARNING Not all settings are synchronized; after changing the ECG source, always check that the settings are appropriate. Va and Vb leads are reset to default (V2, V5) if the configured Va or Vb lead for the telemetry device is not one of V1 through V6 183 15 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient General Telemetry-related Functions If later the patient is disconnected from the telemetry device, and reconnected to the monitor again, any changes in the settings made in the meantime will be passed on to the monitor. In this way, settings continuity is preserved when the ECG source changes. Settings synchronization can only take place when there is no patient information mismatch between the monitor and the Information Center. If a Check ECG Settings or CHECK PAIRING INOP appears always check that the ECG settings, especially the paced setting, are appropriate for your patient. 184 16 16Enhancing Telemetry Monitoring with the Monitor You can use a monitor without a network connection to view measurement data from a telemetry transceiver at the bedside. You can also use the monitor to make additional measurements and send this measurement data to the Information Center via the telemetry transceiver. The monitor can so be used as a mobile viewer and measurement device, and is set up to simplify the assign/unassign procedures when used with short range radio. Monitor and Telemetry Transceiver Requirements The monitor and the telemetry transceiver need a direct connection via a short range radio link. Not all revisions of the telemetry transceiver can be used directly with the monitor, if you connect a device that cannot be used you will see a TELE UNSUPPORTED INOP. Data Sent to the Information Center The data sent to the Information Center includes numerics from NBP, SpO2, Pulse from SpO2 and predictive temperature. INOPs from these measurements, battery INOPs and a general INOP generated by alarms from any other measurement (MORE BED ALARMS) will also be transmitted. NOTE The monitor must be configured appropriately to support direct connection to a telemetry transceiver;
refer to the Configuration Guide for details. Changing Assignment to a New Telemetry Transceiver 1 Assign the telemetry transceiver to the monitor; see Assigning a Telemetry Transceiver with an SRR Adapter to a Monitor on page 179. 2 Make the required measurements; the data will be automatically sent to the Information Center via the telemetry transceiver. It is not necessary to unassign the telemetry transceiver. This will happen automatically when the next telemetry transceiver is assigned. The patient is also discharged (if configured), ensuring that the measurement data is erased before data from the next patient appears. Always assign the telemetry transceiver before you start making measurements. 185 16 Enhancing Telemetry Monitoring with the Monitor 186 17 17Trends Trends are patient data collected over time and displayed in graphic or tabular form to give you a picture of how your patients condition is developing. Trend information is stored in the trends database for continuously-monitored measurements, such as ECG, as well as for aperiodically-
measured parameters, such as Cardiac Output. Viewing Trends Trend information can be viewed embedded as a screen element on specially-designed Screens, or you can open a trend window over the current Screen. To view trends embedded as a screen element, enter the Change Screen window, then select a Screen designed to show an embedded trend window. To open the tabular trends window, select Main Setup > Trends >
Vitals Trend, or select the Vitals Trend SmartKey. To open the graphic trends window over the current Screen, select Main Setup > Trends > Graph Trend, or select the Graph Trend SmartKey. Vitals Trend Graph Trend The trend windows open displaying the most recent data and are updated as new data is stored. A timescale along the bottom of the screen shows you where you are in the trends database. The preview column on the right-hand side shows the latest available measurement value. The preview column is updated every five minutes or whenever an NBP or other aperiodic measurement is completed. A question mark (?) beside a value means that the data may not be reliable, due perhaps to an INOP condition in the measurement. Your monitor screen may look slightly different to the examples shown in this chapter. Trends Pop-Up Keys When you open the graphic or tabular trends window, a selection of pop-up keys appears to let you navigate through the stored trend data and carry out trends-related tasks. 187 17 Trends Viewing Trends Pop-Up Keys Select Group Select Interval Print Vital Signs Graph Trend Selecting this pop-up key lets you.... see a pop-up list of trend groups and select a group for viewing. see a pop-up list of available data resolution settings and select the level of detail shown in the trend view. print a graphic trends report of the data in the current window.

Documenting Trends To print a Vital Signs or Graphical Trends report, in the Vital Signs or Graph Trends window, select the pop-up key Print to print a report for the trend group currently on the monitor screen. Reports include the most recent information in the trends database and extend backwards in time according to the selected trend interval and your monitors configuration. Trends reports can be printed on central or local printers. Trends Databases The trend databases store information for up to 16 measurements for up to 48 hours. The values in the trends database are stored as measured by the monitor, they are not averaged values. The trend resolution defines how often a value is stored. In general, if more than one value is available for storage in the trends database, the most recent value is used. Some values in the trends are marked with arrows. This indicates that for this time period, more values were available and the most recent one is shown. Example database configuration In this example, we see that the monitor stores the most recent data at the highest resolution, older data are stored at a lower resolution. 4 hours @ 12 second resolution means that the monitor stores trend data every 12 seconds, for the most recent four hours. 192 Screen Trends 17 Trends

Trend data for aperiodic measurements is stored in a separate database and timestamped with the measurement time. Trending Multiple-Value Measurements Some measurements generate multiple values, for example invasive pressure measurements can provide systolic, diastolic, and mean values. These values are trended as separate measurements. Screen Trends Trends configured to display permanently on special monitor Screens are called screen trends. The selection and number of measurement waves in the Screen Trend segment depends on your monitor configuration. Screen trends are color-coded to match the measurement wave and numerics, and they can be viewed in graphical, tabular, histogram or horizon format. If you do not see screen trends on the monitor Screen, select a different Screen, one that is configured to show screen trends. Screen trends are only available on specially designed Screens. Screen Trend information is taken from the Trends database. If you do not see a Screen Trend for a particular measurement on the Screen, check the trend priority list to ensure that this measurement is being trended. 193 17 Trends Screen Trends SBed9 HR Adult SpO2 ALARMS OFF Perf Arrhythmia Off 1mV Auto 15 min Temp Measurement numerics Measurement wave M NBP Sys.

Horizon View The horizon view presents trend information superimposed over a defined baseline or base range. This helps you visualize changes in your patients condition since the baseline was set. The horizon view is made up of:
a horizon, drawn in white, as a reference 1 2 3 point or baseline to help you visualize changes in your patients condition. The horizon can be set to represent your patients current condition, or a target condition and can be a single value or a range. a graphical trend, displaying patient data for the set TrendTime (1). a trend indicator arrow, indicating how the patient trend has developed in the set time period
(10 minutes, 5 minutes or 2 minutes) (2). a deviation bar, showing how the currently measured value deviates from the set horizon (3). The height of the deviation bar is an indication of the extent of the change in your patients condition relative to the (horizon) baseline.

Select Report Type and then select the reports template you want the report selected in Step 2 to use. The selection of templates listed depends on the report type selected. Each template includes patient demographic data, and each Realtime Report also includes alarm and INOP information. In addition, the templates include:
VisibleWaves: all waves currently visible, in the order they appear on the screen. All Waves: all measured waves, RT Waves: all currently measured realtime waves, according to the monitors priority list. Vital Signs: trend information in tabular form. Graph Trend: trend information in graphic form. ECG3X4, ECG6X2, ECG12X1, ECG4X2, ECG8X1, ECG12X1(2P): ECG reports. Alarm Limits: a list of all currently set alarm limits. Select Report Size to set the paper size to be used for the report: Unspecified to use the default size for the template chosen, Universal, A4, Letter, LrgUniversal, A3, or Ledger. The list of available sizes depends on the report type selected. Select Orientation to set the orientation of the report printout: Unspecified to use the default size for the template chosen, Landscape or Portrait. Select Target Device and choose which printer the print job will be sent to: Unspec. to use the default printer, or choose from the list of printer names defined at the Information Center or in the monitors Configuration Mode (for example, Remote 1 or Database). Some settings may be inactive (grayed-out) in this menu for reports that can only be started in a special window. Checking Printer Settings The printer settings for your monitor are defined in Configuration Mode. The printer settings Paper Size, Resolution, Color Support, and Duplex Option for the active printer are visible but inactive (grayed-out) in the Setup Printers menu. When Print Database is selected as active printer only the Paper Size setting will be shown. To enter the Setup Printers menu, in the Reports menu, select Setup Printers. Printing a Test Report A test report can be printed in Configuration mode, refer to the Service Guide for details. Switching Printers On Or Off for Reports You can enable or disable printer status to switch individual printers on or off for report printouts. In the Setup Printers menu, select Printer and then select the name of the device you want to switch on or off for Reports printing from the pop-up list. 1 206 Dashed Lines on Reports 19 Printing Patient Reports 2 Select Printer Status to toggle between the settings Enabled and Disabled. If you set this to Disabled, no reports will be printed to the named printer. If the monitor detects that no printer of a particular type is available, the Enabled/Disabled setting will automatically be set to Disabled and grayed out. Dashed Lines on Reports If a section of a wave on a report is drawn with dashed lines, this tells you that a setting that affects the appearance of the wave on the screen was changed while the report was printing. For example, if you change the wave scale while a report is printing, the wave scale and wave size are changed immediately on the monitor screen and on the report. To indicate that the scale information printed at the beginning of the report no longer matches the currently used scale, the wave will be printed using dashed lines, starting from the moment the change took place. Some examples of settings that cause dashed lines in reports if changed during printing are: Filter mode, ECG lead placement, wave scale, measurement unit, paced/non-paced setting, and measurement mode. Note that as ECG waves are drawn with a fixed gain on reports (either 10 mm/
mV or 20 mm/mV), changing the ECG wave scale will not cause dashed-line reports. To avoid dashed lines on reports, wait 15 seconds after changing a setting before you trigger a report. Unavailable Printer: Re-routing Reports If you send a report to be printed on a printer that is not available, for example, because it has run out of paper, this print job is suspended and stored in the monitors memory. If the target device of this print job was set to Unspecified, the monitor will periodically try to resend the print job to the first printer listed in the Setup Printers menu under Printer that is set to Enabled and that has paper of the correct size. To allow the report to print, you must either solve the problem with the target printer, or re-route the print job to another printer with paper of the correct size. To re-route a print job, Enable the new target printer by selecting it in the Setup Printers menu and toggling to Enabled. As the monitor tries to send the report to the printers in the order they are listed, you must make sure that all the printers above the new target printer are disabled. If the target device of the print job was set to a specific printer, re-routing is not possible. Checking Report Status and Printing Manually A list of all print requests which are waiting, printing or stored can be viewed in the Reports Job List.

Do not soak the battery. 215 20 Care and Cleaning Cleaning Batteries and the Battery Compartment 216 21 21Using Batteries When monitoring a patient, one Philips M4607A rechargeable Lithium Ion battery must always be inserted into the battery compartment on the right side of the monitor. This applies even when you are running the monitor from the external power supply. The battery seals the battery compartment, thereby preventing the ingress of fluids or foreign bodies. A severe yellow INOP (!!INSERT BATTERY) will be issued if the monitor is connected to AC mains without a battery fully inserted in the battery compartment. This INOP will persist until a battery is loaded. Battery compartment To use the monitor with battery power, disconnect the MSL cable (connecting the external power supply) from the monitor. You can switch between battery-powered and mains-powered (AC) operation without interrupting monitoring. The battery recharges automatically when the monitor is connected to the external power supply
(M8023A). 217 21 Using Batteries Battery Power Indicators Battery Power Indicators The battery LED and battery status information on the Main Screen, in combination with INOP messages and prompts, help you keep track of the battery power status. The indicators always show the remaining capacity in relation to the batterys actual maximum capacity, which may lessen as the battery ages. You can see the actual capacity in the Battery Status window. Battery LED The battery LED on the front panel of the monitor is indicated by a battery symbol. Battery LED Battery LED Colors Yellow Red, flashing If the monitor is connected to the external power supply

265 24 Specifications Safety and Performance Tests Safety and Performance Tests You must observe any national regulations on the qualification of the testing personnel and suitable measuring and testing facilities. See the maintenance section for a list of required tests. Safety and performance tests, and what to do if the instrument does not meet these specifications are described in the Installation and Service guide. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Specifications Take special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) when using medical electrical equipment. You must operate your monitoring equipment according to the EMC information provided in this book. Portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment. Accessories Compliant with EMC Standards All accessories listed in the accessories section comply, in combination with the monitor, with the requirements of IEC 60601-1-2:2001 + A1:2004. WARNING Using accessories other than those specified may result in increased electromagnetic emission or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the monitoring equipment. Electromagnetic Emissions The monitor is suitable for use in the electromagnetic environment specified in the table below. You must ensure that it is used in such an environment Emissions test Radio Frequency (RF) emissions Compliance Group 1 RF emissions CISPR 11 for the MP2 or X2 with all accessories except the M2741A Sidestream CO2 sensor RF emissions CISPR 11 for the MP2 or X2 whenever used with the M2741A Sidestream CO2 sensor Class B Class A Avoiding Electromagnetic Interference The monitor uses RF energy only for its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment The monitor is suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments and those directly connected to the public low-voltage supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. The monitor is suitable for use in all establishments other than those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. Avoiding Electromagnetic Interference (Resp) The respiration (Resp) measurement is a very sensitive measurement that measures a very small signal. Technological limitations do not allow higher immunity levels than 1 V/m for radiated RF electromagnetic fields and 1 Vrms for conducted disturbances induced by RF fields. Electromagnetic fields with field strengths above 1 V/m and conducted disturbances above 1 Vrms may cause erroneous measurements. Therefore Philips recommends that you avoid using electrically radiating equipment in the close proximity of this measurement. 266 Safety and Performance Tests 24 Specifications WARNING The monitor should not be used next to or stacked with other equipment. If you must stack the monitor, you must check that normal operation is possible in the necessary configuration before you start monitoring patients. Electromagnetic Immunity The monitor is suitable for use in the specified electromagnetic environment. The user must ensure that it is used in the appropriate environment as described below.

Power frequency magnetic fields should be a t levels characteristic of a typical location in a typical commercial and/or hospital environment In this table, UT is the a.c. mains voltage prior to application of the test level. Recommended Separation Distance WARNING The monitor, equipped with a wireless network interface, intentionally receives RF electromagnetic energy for the purpose of its operation. Therefore, other equipment may cause interference, even if that other equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements. In the following table, P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in metres
(m). The values given in brackets are for respiration. 267 24 Specifications Safety and Performance Tests Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the monitor, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation appropriate for the frequency of the transmitter. Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range. Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with this symbol:

1.If ECG/SpO2 signals are acquired from a telemetry device via short range radio the compliance level is 3V/m except in the range 2.0 to 2.3 GHz where it is 1 V/m. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular, cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the monitor is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the monitor should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the monitor. These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people. 268 Safety and Performance Tests 24 Specifications Recommended separation distances from portable and mobile RF communication equipment The monitor is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or user of the monitor can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the monitor as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment. In the following table, P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in metres

If you have purchased a customer-installable bundle, it is assumed that your own hospital personnel will install and, if necessary, configure the monitor. You can contact Philips Support for assistance if required; any assistance will be associated with additional costs. For mechanical and electrical installation, you need technically qualified personnel with a knowledge of english. Additionally, for monitor configuration, you need clinically qualified personnel with a knowledge of the use environment. For further information on Installation, refer to the Service Guide. WARNING Monitor configuration settings must be specified by authorized hospital personnel.
For installation of the monitor as part of a system, always refer to the Service Guide.
As the first step in preparing the monitor for use, follow the installation instructions given in this chapter. Installation Checklist Use this checklist to document your installation. Step Task 1 2 3 4 5 6 Perform initial inspection of delivery, unpack and check the shipment (see Unpacking and Checking the Shipment on page 2) Mount the monitor as appropriate for your installation (see Mounting the Monitor on page 3) Connect the monitor to AC mains using the supplied power cord (see Connecting the Monitor to AC Mains on page 3) Perform Visual, Power On and Functional test blocks (see Checking Out The Monitor on page 3) Perform Safety Tests, if required by local laws and regulations (see Checking Out The Monitor on page 3) Load paper into the recorder, if present (see Loading Paper on page 4) Check Box when Task Done 1 1 Installation Unpacking and Checking the Shipment Step Task 7 8 9 Check/set the time and date (see Setting the Date and Time on page 6) Check that the country-specific default settings are appropriate (see Checking Country-Specific Default Settings on page 6) Perform System Test as necessary (see the Service Guide) Check Box when Task Done Unpacking and Checking the Shipment The monitor and any supporting options ordered are supplied packed in protective shipping cartons. Initial Inspection Before unpacking, check the packaging and ensure that there are no signs of mishandling or damage. Open the package carefully and remove the monitor and accessories. Check that the contents are complete and that the correct options and accessories have been delivered. System Components, Accessories and Supplies Comments Monitor with options as ordered ECG accessories NBP accessories SpO2 accessories Pressure accessories Temperature accessories Predictive Temperature accessories CO2 Accessories Recorder paper Powercord Telemetry Interface cable Measurement Link (MSL) cable Instructions for Use Quick Guide Documentation CD-ROM (includes Service Guide and Instructions for Use) 1 optional 1 optional optional optional optional optional optional 1 optional optional 1 1 1 Claims for Damage If the shipping cartons are damaged, contact the carrier. If any of the equipment is damaged, contact both the carrier and your local Philips service organization for repair or replacement arrangements. 2 Mounting the Monitor Repacking 1 Installation Retain the original packing carton and material, in case you need to return equipment to Philips for service. If you no longer have the original packing materials, Philips can advise you on alternatives. Mounting the Monitor The monitor can be rested on a flat surface, hung on the bed rail, or mounted on a wall. See the Service Guide for details. Connecting the Monitor to AC Mains The monitor has a wide-range power supply that allows you to operate the monitor from an AC
(alternating current) power source of 100 V to 240 V ( 10%) and 50 to 60 Hz ( 5%). WARNING Always use the supplied power cord with the earthed mains plug to connect the monitor to an earthed AC mains socket. Never adapt the mains plug from the power supply to fit an unearthed AC mains socket.
Do not use AC mains extension cords or multiple portable socket-outlets. If a multiple portable socket-outlet without an approved isolation transformer is used, the interruption of its protective earthing may result in enclosure leakage currents equal to the sum of the individual earth leakage currents, so exceeding allowable limits.
Do not connect any devices that are not supported as part of a system.
Any non-medical device placed and operated in the patients vicinity must be powered via an approved isolation transformer that ensures mechanical fixing of the power cords and covering of any unused power outlets. Checking Out The Monitor The following table defines which tests and inspections need to be performed, and when they are required. Test Test or Inspection to be Performed Visual Inspect the monitor, measurement accessories and cables for any damage. Power On Functionality Test Are they free of damage?
Power on the monitor. Does it start up successfully without errors? Do all alarm lamps light up during power up?
After start up the monitor sounds a tone, and you can see the monitoring main screen (normally with measurement wave channels and numeric positions). After power up, touch the blue Main Screen key at the bottom right of the screen to test the Touchscreen. The key should turn light blue then after several seconds return to its standard blue color. 3 1 Installation Loading Paper Test Safety Tests (1) to (4) System Test or Inspection to be Performed Perform safety tests (1) to (4), as described in the Service Guide, for standalone devices if required by local laws and regulations, and each time you combine equipment to form a system, or exchange system components. Details of the safety tests and procedures are described in the Service Guide. These safety tests are derived from international standards but may not always be sufficient to meet local requirements. Perform the system test according to IEC 60601-1-1, if applicable, after combining equipment to form a system (see the Service Guide). For test and inspection information regarding repairs, upgrades and all other service events, refer to the Service Guide. Loading Paper 1 Use the latch on the right side of the recorder door to pull the door open. 2 Remove the empty core. 3 Insert a new roll and secure it in place on the paper holder. The paper feeds from the bottom of the roll and over the top of the recorder door. Recommended paper: M4816A and M4817A. 4 With at least one inch of paper extending beyond the edge of the door, swing the recorder door up and push it firmly closed. 5 To test if paper is loaded correctly, start a recording. If no printing appears, paper may be loaded backwards. Try reloading the paper. 4 Operating the Monitor 1 Installation Operating the Monitor To complete installation you will need to operate the monitor. Here is a short introduction for those not experienced with IntelliVue monitors. 1 Switch on the monitor. After start-up the monitor display will become active. You operate the monitor using the touch screen. 2 Touch something on the screen to enter a menu. Touching the time, as shown here, brings you to the date and time menu needed for the next section. 3 Touch again to select an item on the menu and 4 You can touch numerics, waves and any work through the menu activities. item on the screen, to get you to the corresponding menu. 5 If you cannot find a menu by touching the screen you can always use the Main Setup key which will get you to all menus on the monitor 5 1 Installation Setting the Date and Time Setting the Date and Time To set the date and time:
Select the Date, Time screen element from the monitors info line to enter the Date, Time menu. Select, in turn, the Year, Month, Day, Hour (in 24 hour format, only) and Minute as necessary. Select the correct values from the pop-up list. Select Store Date, Time to change the date and time. 1 2 3 If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, the date and time are automatically taken from this. Once it is set, the internal clock retains the setting even when you switch off the monitor. Checking Country-Specific Default Settings Some settings are made in the factory to match the typical requirements in a specific country. Line frequency, units for weight and height, and ECG cable colors (AAMI or IEC) have been set to appropriate values. If you suspect that these settings may not match your institutions requirements, check the settings and change them if necessary as described in the Configuration Guide. WARNING Before starting monitoring, check that the current configuration meets your requirements, especially patient category, alarm limits and paced setting. If you need to enter configuration mode:
1 2 In the Main Setup menu, select Operating Modes. Select Config and enter the passcode. The passcode for configuration mode is given in the monitors service documentation.

To leave configuration mode:
In the Main Setup menu, select Operating Modes and then select Monitoring. Handing Over the Monitor If you are handing over the monitor to the end-users directly after configuration, make sure that it is in Monitoring mode. Ensure that the users have access to the following documentation delivered with the monitor:
Instructions for Use (this book) - for more detailed questions during use
Quick Guide - for quick reminders during use 6 Handing Over the Monitor 1 Installation Additionally, we recommend working through the Training Guide for self-training on the monitor before use (not available in all languages). The part number is M8105-944XB, where X is a digit dependent on the language. The English training guide is M8105-9441B. An English training video, M8000-9451E, is also available. 7 1 Installation Handing Over the Monitor 8 2 2Basic Operation These Instructions for Use are for clinical professionals using the IntelliVue MP5 and MP5T
(M8105A and M8105AT) patient monitors. This basic operation section gives you an overview of the monitor and its functions. It tells you how to perform tasks that are common to all measurements (such as entering data, switching a measurement on and off, setting up and adjusting wave speeds, working with profiles). The alarms section gives an overview of alarms. The remaining sections tell you how to perform individual measurements, and how to care for and maintain the equipment. Familiarize yourself with all instructions including warnings and cautions before starting to monitor patients. Read and keep the Instructions for Use that come with any accessories, as these contain important information about care and cleaning that is not repeated here. This guide describes all features and options. Your monitor may not have all of them; they are not all available in all geographies. Your monitor is highly configurable. What you see on the screen, how the menus appear and so forth, depends on the way it has been tailored for your hospital and may not be exactly as shown here. In particular for the MP5T, refer to the table on the following page to see which sections of this guide are applicable to your monitor. In this guide:
A warning alerts you to a potential serious outcome, adverse event or safety hazard. Failure to observe a warning may result in death or serious injury to the user or patient.
A caution alerts you to where special care is necessary for the safe and effective use of the product. Failure to observe a caution may result in minor or moderate personal injury or damage to the product or other property, and possibly in a remote risk of more serious injury.
Monitor refers to the entire patient monitor. Display refers to the physical display unit. Display Screen and Screen refer to everything you see on monitors display, such as measurements, alarms, patient data and so forth. Introducing the Monitor The MP5 monitor provides a comprehensive set of basic physiological measurements: NBP, SpO2, and optionally ECG, invasive blood pressure, predictive temperature, standard temperature and CO2. Through networking it provides information integration, documentation and information access. The MP5 can be used with adult, pediatric and neonatal patients in a hospital and transport environment. 9 2 Basic Operation Introducing the Monitor The monitor stores data in trend and event databases. You can see tabular trends (vital signs) and document them on a central printer. You can view measurement trend graphs, with up to three measurements combined in each graph, to help you identify changes in the patients physiological condition. You can view fast-changing measurement trends with beat to beat resolution and see up to four high resolution trend segments. The MP5 monitor can also be connected to another IntelliVue patient monitor (MP20 to MP90), where it acts as a multi-measurement module (MMS), acquiring measurements for the host monitor. When connected to a host monitor, the host controls the MP5 including all alarm functionality. No alarms are available on the MP5, and the alarm lamps are controlled by the host. You can recognize when an MP5 is connected to a host monitor by the following indication on the screen:
Companion Mode Companion Mode No Alarm Display When the MP5 is disconnected from the original host monitor, it continues to monitor the patient as a stand-alone monitor with all settings and data. On connection to a new host monitor, the MP5 resumes its role as MMS, transferring all settings and data, ensuring fully continuous monitoring. When the MP5 is connected to a host monitor it still requires batteries or AC power; it also cannot charge its batteries via the host monitors AC connection. The MP5T monitor is intended for use together with a telemetry device. It has no ECG measurement of its own but does have NBP and optionally SpO2 and predictive temperature. When the telemetry device is directly connected to the MP5T, the measurements from the MP5T are transmitted with those from the telemetry device (ECG and optionally SpO2) to the Information Center. The MP5T alone has no network capability (no direct wired or wireless connection to the Information Center). The following comparison table shows in detail the differences between MP5 and MP5T:

Back C/CE 18 Operating Modes 2 Basic Operation Operating Modes 2 1 When you switch the monitor on, it starts up in monitoring mode. To change to a different mode:
Select the Main Setup menu. Select Operating Modes and choose the mode you require. Your monitor has four operating modes. Some are passcode protected.
Monitoring Mode: This is the normal, every day working mode that you use for monitoring patients. You can change elements such as alarm limits, patient category and so forth. When you discharge the patient, these elements return to their default values. Changes can be stored permanently only in Configuration Mode. You may see items, such as some menu options or the altitude setting, that are visible but grayed out so that you can neither select nor change them. These are for your information and can be changed only in Configuration Mode.
Demonstration Mode: Passcode protected, this is for demonstration purposes only. You must not change into Demonstration Mode during monitoring. In Demonstration Mode, all stored trend information is deleted from the monitors memory.
Configuration Mode: Passcode protected, this mode is for personnel trained in configuration tasks. These tasks are described in the Configuration Guide. During installation the monitor is configured for use in your environment. This configuration defines the default settings you work with when you switch on, the number of waves you see and so forth.
Service Mode: Passcode protected, this is for trained service personnel. When the monitor is in Demonstration Mode, Configuration Mode, or Service Mode, this is indicated by a box with the mode name in the center of the Screen and a symbol in the bottom right-hand corner. Select this field to change to a different mode. When an MP5 is connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated):
The MP5 will adopt the operating mode of the host monitor:
Config
You cannot change the operating mode at the MP5. Standby Mode Standby mode can be used when you want to temporarily interrupt monitoring. To enter Standby mode, select the Monitor Standby SmartKey or select Main Setup, followed by Monitor Standby. The monitor enters Standby mode automatically after the End Case function is used to discharge a patient. Standby suspends patient monitoring. All waves and numerics disappear from the display but all settings and patient data information are retained. A special Standby screen is displayed. This can be configured to a moving image or a blank screen. If a patient location is entered at the Information Center, this will also be displayed on the Standby screen (availability depends on Information Center revision). To resume monitoring, 19 2 Basic Operation Understanding Screens Select anything on the screen or press any key. If you connect an MP5 that is powered on (and not in Standby) to a host monitor in Standby mode, the host will leave Standby mode. When connected to a host monitor, with both the host and the MP5 in Standby mode, leaving Standby on the MP5 will also make the host leave Standby. Understanding Screens Your monitor comes with a set of preconfigured Screens, optimized for common monitoring scenarios such as OR adult, or ICU neonatal. A Screen defines the overall selection, size and position of waves, numerics and SmartKeys on the monitor screen when you switch on. You can easily switch between different Screens during monitoring. Screens do NOT affect alarm settings, patient category and so forth. Switching to a Different Screen 1 To switch to a different Screen, select the monitor info line and then Change Screen in the Setup Menu, or select the Change Screen SmartKey. 2 Choose the new Screen from the pop-up list. Changing a Screens Content If you do not want to change the entire Screen content, but only some parts of it, you can substitute individual waves, numerics, high-res waves, or trends. Be aware that these changes cannot be stored permanently in Monitoring Mode. To change the selection of elements on a Screen, 1 2 Select the element you want to change. From the menu that appears, select Change Wave, Change Numeric, or Change HiResTrend, and then select the wave or numeric you want, or select the high-
resolution trend wave you want from the list of available waves. If you do not see Change Numeric in the menu, this Screen may be configured to always display the numeric beside its wave. Changing the wave will automatically change the numeric. The changed Screen is shown with an asterisk in the monitor info line. 20 Using the XDS Remote Display (not MP5T) 2 Basic Operation In the Change Screen menu, the changed Screen is shown linked to the original Screen and marked with an asterisk. Up to three modified Screens can be accessed via the Change Screen menu. To recall Screens, either select the name of the Screen in the Change Screen menu or use the previous/next arrows at the top of the Change Screen menu to move back and forth in the Screen history. The ten most recently-used Screens including up to three modified Screens can be accessed. Change Screen 3 Waves A Split Screen A Graph Trends Vital Signs B Vital Signs A Vital Signs A*
After a patient discharge, the monitors default Screen is shown. Modified Screens are still available in the Change Screen menu. If the monitor is switched off and then on again, modified Screens are erased from the monitors memory and cannot be recalled. If a modified Screen was the last active Screen when the monitor was switched off, it is retained (unless Automat. Default is configured to Yes). Using the XDS Remote Display (not MP5T) Using the IntelliVue XDS solution it is possible to view an independent monitor screen on an external display. The XDS solution consists of a medical grade PC-based hardware platform, XDS application software and the XDS connectivity option on the monitor. Depending on the configuration you can also operate the monitor from the external display. The XDS must be connected to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the monitor. It is also possible to use an existing PC, connected to the same LAN, to host the XDS Application software. For more details, including limitations and restrictions, refer to the Instructions for Use for the XDS Application. Using the Visitor Screen If a visitor Screen is configured for your monitor, you can use it to clear the screen of all waves and numerics but continue to monitor the patient with active alarms and trend storage at the bedside and Information Center. You can change the name of the visitor Screen in Configuration Mode. To activate this Screen, Select the monitor info line to open the Setup menu Select Change Screen Select the name of the visitor Screen configured for your monitor from the list of available Screens. 1 2 3 To select a Screen with waves and numerics again, 21 2 Basic Operation Understanding Profiles Select any element on the Screen to open the Screen menu and select a screen from the list. Understanding Profiles Profiles are predefined monitor configurations. They let you change the configuration of the whole monitor so you can adapt it to different monitoring situations. The changes that occur when you change a complete profile are more far reaching than those made when you change a Screen. Screens affect only what is shown on the display. Profiles affect all monitor and measurement settings. The settings that are defined by Profiles are grouped into three categories. Each category offers a choice of settings blocks customized for specific monitoring situations. These categories are:
Display (screens) Each profile can have a choice of many different predefined screens. If you are using a second display, each display can have its own individual screen selection. When you change the profile, the screen selection configured for the new profile becomes active. Measurement Settings Each profile can have a choice of different predefined measurement settings. These relate directly to individual measurements, for example, measurement on/off, measurement color, alarms limits, NBP alarm source, NBP repeat time, temperature unit (F or C), pressure unit (mmHg or kPa). Monitor Settings Each profile can have a choice of different predefined monitor settings. These relate to the monitor as a whole; for example, display brightness, alarms off/paused, alarm volume, QRS tone volume, tone modulation, prompt tone volume, wave speed, resp wave speed, pulse source. Profiles
: Profile A Profile Patient Category: Adult Paced Display Measmt. Settings:Measurement A Monitor Settings: Monitor A
: No
: S-014 Measurement A Measurement B Measurement C Measurement D Profiles Menu, showing current settings Available choices in measurement menu You can change from one complete profile to another or swap individual settings blocks (display screen/monitor settings/measurement settings) to change a subset of a profile. Changes you make to any element within the settings blocks are not saved when you discharge the patient, unless you save them in Configuration Mode. Depending on your monitor configuration, when you switch on or discharge a patient the monitor either continues with the previous profile, or resets to the default profile configured for that monitor. 22 Understanding Profiles 2 Basic Operation WARNING If you switch to a different profile, the patient category and paced status normally change to the setting specified in the new profile. However some profiles may be setup to leave the patient category and paced status unchanged. Always check the patient category, paced status, and all alarms and settings, when you change profiles. When you leave Demonstration Mode, the monitor uses the default profile. 23 2 Basic Operation Understanding Settings Swapping a Complete Profile Select the monitor info line and then Profiles in the Setup menu, or select the Profiles SmartKey. In the Profiles menu, select Profile. 1 2 3 Chose a profile from the pop-up list. 4 Confirm your selection. Swapping a Settings Block 1 2 Select the monitor info line and then Profiles in the Setup menu, or select the Profiles SmartKey. In the Profiles menu, select Display or Measmnt. Settings or Monitor Settings to call up a list of the settings blocks in each category. 3 Choose a settings block from the pop-up list. 4 Confirm your selection. Default Profile Your monitor has a default profile that it uses when you leave Demonstration, or Service modes, or when you discharge a patient. This profile is indicated by a diamond
. Locked Profiles Some profiles are locked, so that you cannot change them, even in Configuration Mode. These are indicated by this lock symbol. Understanding Settings Each aspect of how the monitor works and looks is defined by a setting. There are a number of different categories of settings, including, Screen Settings, to define the selection and appearance of elements on each individual Screen Measurement settings, to define settings unique to each measurement, for example, high and low alarm limits Monitor settings, including settings that affect more than one measurement or Screen and define general aspects of how the monitor works, for example, alarm volume, reports and recordings, and display brightness. You must be aware that, although many settings can be changed in Monitoring Mode, permanent changes to settings can only be done in the monitors Configuration Mode. All settings are reset to the stored defaults:
when you discharge a patient
when you load a Profile 24 Adjusting a Measurement Wave 2 Basic Operation
when the monitor is switched off for more than one minute (if Automat. Default is set to Yes). Changing Measurement Settings Each measurement has a setup menu in which you can adjust all of its settings. You can enter a setup menu:
via the measurement numeric - select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu. For example, to enter the Setup ECG menu, select the HR (heart rate) numeric.
via the Main Setup permanent key- if you want to setup a measurement when the measurement is switched off, use the Main Setup permanent key and select Measurements. Then select the measurement name from the popup list. With this permanent key you can access any setup menu in the monitor.
via the Measurement Selection key. Switching a Measurement On and Off When a measurement is off, its waves and numerics are removed from the monitors screen. The monitor stops data acquisition and alarming for this measurement. 1 Enter the measurements setup menu and select the measurement. 2 Select the measurement name to toggle between on and off. The screen display indicates the active setting. Adjusting a Measurement Wave To quickly adjust wave-related measurement settings (such as speed or size), select the measurement wave itself. This displays the measurement Wave menu, which has only wave-related measurement settings. Changing Wave Speeds Lowering the wave speed compresses the wave and lets you view a longer time period. Increasing the speed expands the waveform, giving you a more detailed view. The monitor distinguishes two groups of wave speed settings,
RespiratorySpeed, for all respiratory waves: CO2, Resp. anesthetic agents and O2
Global Speed, for all waves not included in the other group. Changing the Wave Group Speed 1 The wave speed group setting defines the speed of all the waves in the group. To change the wave speed of a wave speed group, Select Main Setup -> User Interface Select Global Speed or RespiratorySpeed, as required Select a value from the list of available speeds. 3 2 25 2 Basic Operation Freezing Waves Changing Wave Speed for a Channel Select Change Speed. To change the wave speed of an individual wave channel, 1 Enter the Wave menu for a measurement by selecting its wave. 2 3 To set the speed to the wave group speed, select RespiratorySpeed or Global Speed. To set an individual channel speed, select a numeric value from the list of available speeds. This overrides the wave group speed setting and sets the speed for the individual wave channel on the monitor Screen. The wave channel speed is independent of the wave (label) depicted in the channel, if you change the wave, the new wave will retain the set channel speed. Freezing Waves You can freeze waves on the screen and measure parts of the wave using cursors. The waves are frozen with a history of 20 seconds so that you can go back and measure what you have seen. Freezing An Individual Wave To freeze a wave, 1 Enter the Wave menu for the measurement by selecting the wave on the screen. 2 Select Freeze Wave. The realtime wave is replaced with the frozen wave. Freezing All Waves To freeze all waves on the screen, Select the Freeze Waves SmartKey. 1 All realtime waves are replaced with frozen waves. Measuring Frozen Waves To measure a frozen wave, Select the frozen wave. This automatically positions the vertical cursor. The cursor can be repositioned by touching the required point on the wave, or 1 2 Use the up/down arrow keys to activate and move the horizontal cursor. The horizontal cursor measures the wave value, which is displayed above the cursor line. If the wave is a pressure wave, the cursor value can be stored as a systolic, diastolic or mean pressure value and if the pressure wave is a PAP wave, it can also be stored as a PAWP value. The stored value appears in the trend database as a manually entered value. To return to the vertical cursor use the
<> pop-up key. Changing The Wave Speed Lowering the wave speed compresses the wave and lets you view a longer time period. Increasing the speed expands the waveform, giving you a more detailed view. 26 Using Labels 2 Basic Operation 1 To change the wave speed:
Select the frozen wave. Select Change Speed. Select a speed from the list. 2 3 Updating The Frozen Wave To update the wave, that is freeze the current wave:
1 2 Select the frozen wave. Select Freeze Again. Releasing Frozen Waves To release frozen waves, Select a frozen wave. Select Unfreeze Waves. 1 2 All frozen waves are released. Using Labels Depending on the monitor options purchased, you may be able to measure two invasive pressures and temperatures simultaneously. The monitor uses labels to distinguish between them. The default settings defined in the profile (such as measurement color, wave scale, and alarm settings) are stored within each label. When you assign a label to a measurement, the monitor automatically applies these default settings to the measurement. The labels assigned are used throughout the monitor, in reports, recordings, and in trends. Changing Measurement Labels (e.g. Pressure) To change a measurement label of a measurement with multiple labels (invasive pressure or temperature), 1 Enter the Wave menu of the measurement. 2 Select Label. 3 Choose a label from the list. The monitor automatically applies the scale, color, etc. settings stored in the Profile for the label you select. You can change scale settings in Monitoring Mode, but color can only be changed in the monitors Configuration Mode. Any labels already being used in the monitor are shown grayed-out in the list and cannot be selected. Resolving Label Conflicts Each label must be unique, that is, it can only be assigned once. If you have a gas monitor connected to the monitor there is a potential conflict with the CO2 label. Depending on your configuration, the monitor will either 27 2 Basic Operation Using Labels
display the Measurement Selection window automatically for you to resolve the conflict
take no action, you must enter the Measurement Selection window and resolve the conflict measurement selection key All the currently available measurements are depicted in the Measurement Selection window. If a measurement label is causing a label conflict it is shown in red. WARNING When an MP5 with an active measurement, say SpO2, is connected to a host monitor with the same measurement already active, the SpO2 measurement on the MP5 is deactivated and the Meas. DEACTIVATED INOP is displayed. The measurement can only be reactivated if the MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor. The label conflict can be resolved on the host monitor like any other label conflict. When the MP5 is connected to a host monitor, the Measurement Selection window can be opened, but only the measurement Setup key is functional. Derived measurements are not active and cannot be activated, but become active again when the MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor. Resolve any label conflicts at the host monitor. To resolve a label conflict, Select the measurement selection key or select Main Setup -> Measurement Selection to display the Measurement Selection window. Select the measurement to be deactivated. Select the De-activate pop-up key to disable the conflicting measurement. When the measurement has been deactivated the question marks under the measurement selection key will be replaced by XXX. 1 2 3 Label Compatibility When a new measurement is introduced, or new labels for an existing measurement, these labels will not be shown on older Information Centers, and consequently not on the Overview screen sourced from the Information Center. When a patient is transferred from a monitor with these new labels to one with an older software revision, the labels will be replaced with a generic label for that measurement. The settings for that generic label will then be used. 28 Entering Measurements Manually 2 Basic Operation If it is critical that the measurement labels are available at the Information Center and after transfers, the older monitors and the Information Center must be upgraded to the appropriate software revision. Entering Measurements Manually You can enter values into the monitor that have been measured with other equipment or manually (for example, manual temperatures, lab values). These values are then stored in the database, included in trends and reports, and passed on to the Information Center and central charting systems. There is no alarm functionality for manually entered measurements. To enter values, Select the Enter Values SmartKey or select Main Setup -> Enter MeasValues Select the measurement you want to enter values for. The Edit <Measurement> window will open. If the measurement is switched off, switch it on by selecting the label. Select Value and enter the value. Select Date/Time to enter the date and time for the value. The default is always the current date and time. For compound labels, for example ABPs, ABPd and ABPm, select the Format field to select whether all values are required or a single value. Select Confirm. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 When a manually entered value has been configured to display as a numeric on the screen, you can also enter a new value for this measurement by selecting the numeric, then selecting Enter MeasValues. Manually entered measurement values are marked with a * on the display, in trends, and so forth. Each measurement has a defined measurement interval after which a value becomes invalid (no value is then displayed). Values can be entered up to two hours after they have been measured or up to the measurement interval, if this is shorter. The list of measurement labels which appears in the Manual Entry window is set in Configuration Mode. No values can be entered manually on the MP5 when it is connected to a host monitor. Switching Manually Entered Measurements On and Off To switch a manually entered measurement on or off, Select the Enter Values SmartKey or select Main Setup -> Enter MeasValues Select the measurement you want to switch on or off. Select the measurement label field to switch between On and Off 1 2 3 Changing Monitor Settings To change monitor settings such as brightness, or QRS tone volume, select the Main Setup permanent key and then select User Interface to enter a submenu where you can change these settings. 29 2 Basic Operation Checking Your Monitor Revision Adjusting the Screen Brightness 1 2 Select the Brightness SmartKey.

Optimum is suitable for most monitoring locations and optimizes power usage for battery powered monitors. Your monitor may be configured with a lower brightness for Standby mode and also for transport to conserve battery power. These settings can only be changed in the monitors Configuration Mode. Adjusting Touch Tone Volume The touch tone volume is the tone you hear when you select any field on the monitor screen. To adjust the touch tone volume, In the Main Setup menu, select User Interface Select Touch ToneVolume, then select the appropriate setting for the touch tone volume: 10 is the loudest and 1 is the quietest. Selecting zero switches the touch tone volume off. 1 2 Setting the Date and Time 1 If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, the date and time are automatically taken from this. Once it is set, the internal clock retains the setting even when you switch off the monitor. Select the Date, Time screen element from the monitors info line to enter the Date, Time menu. Select, in turn, the Year, Month, Day, Hour (in 24 hour format, only) and Minute as necessary. Select the correct values from the pop-up list. Select Store Date, Time to change the date and time. 2 3 Checking Your Monitor Revision 1 2 Select Main Setup -> Revision to open the Monitor Revision menu. From the Monitor Revision menu, select the monitor component for which you need revision information. Getting Started Once you understand the basic operation principles and have completed the Training Program, you can get ready for monitoring. Inspecting the Monitor WARNING If the monitor is mechanically damaged, or if it is not working properly, do not use it for any monitoring procedure on a patient. Contact your service personnel. 1 Before you start to make measurements, carry out the following checks on the monitor. Check for any mechanical damage. 30 Getting Started 2 Basic Operation Check all the external cables, plug-ins and accessories. 2 Plug the power cord into the AC power source. If you are using battery power, ensure that the battery has sufficient power for monitoring. When you use a battery for the first time, you must charge it, following the instructions given in the section on Charging Batteries. 3 Check all the functions of the instrument that you need to monitor the patient, and ensure that the instrument is in good working order. Switching On Press the on/off switch on the monitor for one second. The monitor performs a self test and is then ready to use. If you see a message such as CO2 SENSOR WARMUP wait until it disappears before starting monitoring that measurement. Power On/Power Off Behavior The general rules determining the behavior of the monitor when connected to, or disconnected from power are as follows:
A monitor that was switched on prior to a temporary power loss switches on again when power is restored.
A monitor that was switched off prior to a temporary power loss remains off when power is restored.
When AC mains power is lost, a battery powered monitor continues to run without interruption on battery power.
The MP5 switches on automatically when connected to a running host monitor.
When the MP5 is disconnected from a running host monitor, it continues to run without interruption on battery power. Setting up the Measurements 1 Decide which measurements you want to make. 2 Connect the required patient cables and sensors. The connectors are color-coded to the patient cables and sensors for easy identification. WARNING When connecting devices for acquiring measurements, always position cables and tubing carefully to avoid entanglement or potential strangulation. Starting Monitoring After you switch on the monitor, 1 Admit your patient to the monitor. 2 Check that the profile, alarm limits, alarm and QRS volumes, patient category and paced status and so forth are appropriate for your patient. Change them if necessary. 3 Refer to the appropriate measurement section for details of how to perform the measurements you require. 31 2 Basic Operation Disconnecting from Power WARNING During MR imaging, remove all transducers, sensors and cables from the patient. Induced currents could cause burns. Disconnecting from Power The On/Standby switch does not disconnect the monitor from the ac power source. To disconnect, unplug the power cable. Monitoring After a Power Failure If the monitor is without power for less than one minute, monitoring will resume with all active settings unchanged. If the monitor is without power for more than one minute, the behavior depends on your configuration. If Automat. Default is set to Yes, the default profile will be loaded when power is restored. If Automat. Default is set to No, all active settings are retained, if power is restored within 48 hours. The Automat. Default setting is made in Configuration Mode. Networked Monitoring You can connect your monitor to an Information Center on a network. This can be done using one of the optional interfaces:
Standard wired LAN
Wireless LAN
IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry System (IIT) WARNING Do not connect patient monitors to the standard hospital network. Additionally, when the MP5 is equipped with IIT and declared at the Information Center as a telemetry device, it allows data continuity when paired to a host monitor. After disconnection from the host monitor, it continues to monitor the patient during transport and provides continuous data to the same sector on the Information Center. (See the Instructions for Use for your host monitor for viewing telemetry data on the host.) If your monitor is connected to a network, a network symbol is displayed in the upper left corner next to the bed label. To see details about the Care Group, the monitoring equipment, and technical information about the network, select the monitor info line to enter the Setup menu, then select Bed Information. Be aware that some network-based functions may be limited for monitors on wireless networks in comparison to those on wired networks. Printout functionality and data export are not guaranteed when using a standard hospital network. 32 Using the MP5 with a Host Monitor 2 Basic Operation Using the MP5 with a Host Monitor Host monitors that can support the MP5 as a multi-measurement module require software revision F.00.00 or higher. When you connect an MP5 to a host monitor, an integrated system is formed for monitoring a single patient. The following general observations and considerations apply to such a system:
The host monitor is the master of the system, and you have full control over all the systems operation only from the host monitor.
Functions you can operate on the MP5 are restricted to measurements originating in that device. If you try to operate controls that are disabled, you are prompted by the message Not available in Companion Mode.
Depending on how it is configured, your host monitor can determine whether the user interface of a connected MP5 is completely disabled or not, and what is displayed (a standard main screen, or a blank screen similar to the Standby screen indicating Companion Mode). This is controlled by two monitor settings that are applied to the MP5 on connection. You can change the settings in Configuration Mode.
Some general settings, such as line frequency, QRS sound, ECG lead colors, from the host monitor are applied to the MP5 on connection. When disconnected from the host, the MP5 applies its own settings again.
No audible alarms are available on an MP5 when connected to a host monitor. The only visual alarm indication is provided by the alarm lamps which are controlled by the host monitor. Alarms become active again as soon as the MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor.
The host monitor is the master of all ADT information. ADT operations on the MP5 are disabled, and any pending actions on the MP5 (for example, admit or end case) are cancelled.
The date and time of the MP5 is synchronized with that of the host monitor.
Event surveillance in the MP5 is disabled. Main Setup menu operations and SmartKeys are disabled. While connected to host monitor, no new events are detected in the MP5, and no events are deleted. There is no transfer of stored events from the MP5 to the host monitor. After disconnection from the host monitor, event surveillance is enabled again in the MP5, and new events are detected. The MP5 is connected to the host monitor using the measurement link (MSL) cable:
33 2 Basic Operation Using the MP5 with a Host Monitor 34 3 3Whats New?
This section lists the most important new features and improvements to the monitor and its user interface introduced with each release. Further information is provided in other sections of this book. You may not have all of these features, depending on the monitor configuration purchased by your hospital. Whats New in Release G.0?
Short Range Radio Interface for MP5 A short range radio interface is now available for the MP5 monitor. This allows a telemetry transceiver with a short range radio adapter to be assigned to the monitor resulting in a direct connection, as an alternative to the cable connection. The measurement data from the telemetry transceiver appear directly on the monitor screen with a minimal delay and are combined with the monitor data in one sector at the Information Center. Product Options Without ECG The monitor now has several options, with varying measurement combinations, without an ECG measurement. Microstream CO2 in MP5 The Microstream CO2 measurement method is now available in MP 5 monitors. Histogram Trend Trended values can also be viewed in the form of a histogram. The SpO2 histograms can be trend histograms or realtime histograms with 1 second samples. Car Seat Assessment Record In Event Surveillance, in the NER group, you can run a Car Seat Assessment Record (CAR). This is a special period of event surveillance for neonates during a car seat test. During the CAR period a realtime SpO2 histogram is also generated with 1 second samples. IntelliVue XDS Solution Using the IntelliVue XDS solution it is possible to view an independent monitor screen on an external display. The XDS solution consists of a medical grade PC-based hardware platform, XDS application software and the XDS connectivity option on the monitor. Depending on the configuration you can also operate the monitor from the external display. The XDS must be connected to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the monitor. It is also possible to use an existing PC, connected to the same LAN, to host the XDS Application software. 35 3 Whats New?
Whats New in Release F.0?
New Fields in the Admission Form A Middle Name field is now available in the admission form - whether it appears is configurable. Two additional ID fields, Lifetime Id and Encounter Id, can also be configured to appear and their names can be customized to fit hospital requirements. SpO2 Enhancements Additional SpO2 Labels - SpO2pr and SpO2po labels have been added.
New manual measurement mode when telemetry devices are connected via a short range radio link.
Signal Quality Indicator displayed with the SpO2 numerics. ECG Enhancements
New */**Afib yellow alarm when an atrial fibrillation waveform is detected.
QT View window - shows current wave and baseline wave with Q and T points marked so that you can verify that the QT algorithm detects correct Q and T points. Whats New in Release F.0?
The SSC Sepsis protocol is now available on the MP5 in the form of the screening option. If a patient has been screened on arrival with an MP5, then transferred to Intensive Care when Sepsis is confirmed, the current state, the settings and the log from the SSC Sepsis Protocol can be transferred from the MP5 by connecting it to the new monitor. QT/QTc Interval Monitoring QT interval monitoring is used to assist in the detection of prolonged QT interval syndrome. The QT interval is measured and the heart-rate corrected QT value, QTc, is calculated. The monitor also provides a QTc value which tracks variation in the QT interval in relation to a baseline value. High alarm limits can be set for QTc and QTc enabling alarm notification. Manual Data Entry Measurement values (for example lab data or manually measured temperatures) can be entered manually into the monitor and stored in the database. They can then be used for trends, reports and also be displayed as a numeric on screen, if required. Horizon Trend Enhancements The trend indicator arrow indicates how the patient trend has developed in a set time period. This period is now configurable and can be set to 10 minutes, 5 minutes or 2 minutes. The horizon (or baseline) can now be set to a range or to a specific value. Connecting an MP5 to a Monitor (Companion Mode is indicated) The MP5 monitor can be connected to one of the MP20 to MP90 monitors (then called the host monitor) and used like an MMS. This provides monitoring continuity in transport situations allowing measurement data and patient demographics from the MP5 to be transferred to another monitor. When the MP5 is connected to a host monitor, no alarms will be announced on the MP5. Pairing MP5 with another IntelliVue Monitor The MP5 (with IIT) can be declared as a telemetry device at the Information Center and paired with another monitor. The data from the MP5 will then be shown on the same sector on the Information Center as that from the other monitor. 36 Whats New in Release F.0?
3 Whats New?
Sending Data To An Information Center Via A Telemetry Device For the MP5T monitor, or an MP5 monitor without a connection to an Information Center, a small set of monitoring data can be sent from the monitor to the Information Center via a connected telemetry device. NBP - Programmable Measurement Sequence Up to four measurement cycles can be set up which will run consecutively. For each cycle you can set the number of measurements and the interval between them. By setting the last cycle to run continuously you can have regular measurements continue after the sequence has run. New Printing Options For Reports Reports can now also be printed via an external PC-based print server or to an internal print database, when no printer is available (for example, during transport). As soon as a printer becomes available, the reports stored in the database will print automatically. Manual Pairing At Monitor Previously, devices could only be manually paired at the Information Center. You can now pair devices at the monitor as long as the monitor is already connected to the Information Center. Moving Windows And Menus Windows and menus can now be moved on the monitor screen. Using touch or a mouse you can select the title of a window and then drag it across the screen. Some positions on the screen are not allowed, such as ones overlapping the alarm field or the monitor info line. Invasive Pressure Changes Wave cursor - A cursor is now available on the realtime pressure wave to allow you to define a position and store the corresponding value. Reduced alarm limit steps in lower ranges - The alarm limits setting in 2 mmHg steps is now possible in ranges up to 50 mmHg (previously up to 30 mmHg). New Patient Check The monitor can be configured to ask you in certain situations: after a specified power-off period, after a specified standby period and when no basic vitals (HR, RR, Pulse, SpO2, NBP) have been measured for a specified period, whether a new patient is now being monitored. By selecting the Yes pop-up key you can discharge the previous patient and reset settings. New Smart Keys A SmartKey is available for New Lead Setup when a new ECG lead set with fewer leads than previously is being used. Better Visibility Of Gridlines The brightness of the gridlines on the realtime waves has been increased for better visibility. 37 3 Whats New?
Whats New in Release F.0?
38 4 4Alarms The alarm information here applies to all measurements. Measurement-specific alarm information is discussed in the sections on individual measurements. The monitor has two different types of alarm: patient alarms and INOPs. Patient Alarms are red and yellow alarms. A red alarm indicates a high priority patient alarm such as a potentially life threatening situation (for example, asystole). A yellow alarm indicates a lower priority patient alarm (for example, a respiration alarm limit violation). Additionally there are short yellow alarms, most of which are specific to arrhythmia-related patient conditions (for example, ventricular bigeminy). INOPs are technical alarms, they indicate that the monitor cannot measure or detect alarm conditions reliably. If an INOP interrupts monitoring and alarm detection (for example, LEADS OFF), the monitor places a question mark in place of the measurement numeric and an audible indicator tone will be sounded. INOPs without this audible indicator indicate that there may a problem with the reliability of the data, but that monitoring is not interrupted. Most INOPs are light blue, however there are a small number of INOPS which are always yellow or red to indicate a severity corresponding to red and yellow alarms. The following INOPs can also be configured as red or yellow INOPs to provide a severity indication:
ECG LEADS OFF
ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF (yellow only, no red INOP) CUFF OVERPRESS CUFF NOT DEFLATED OCCLUSION TELE DISCONNECT. Replace TeleBatt All monitors in a unit should have the same severity configured for these INOPs. Alarms are indicated after the alarm delay time. This is made up of the system delay time plus the trigger delay time for the individual measurement. See the specifications section for details. If more than one alarm is active, the alarm messages are shown in the alarm status area in succession. An arrow symbol next to the alarm message informs you that more than one message is active.
** HR HIGH 39 4 Alarms Visual Alarm Indicators The monitor sounds an audible indicator for the highest priority alarm. If more than one alarm condition is active in the same measurement, the monitor announces the most severe. Your monitor may be configured to increase alarm indicator volume automatically during the time when the alarm is not acknowledged. Visual Alarm Indicators WARNING No alarms are available on the MP5 when connected to a host monitor. Alarms become active again as soon as the MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor.
Alarm fields and other visual alarm indicators are disabled on the MP5 when connected to a host monitor. The only visual alarm indication is provided by the alarm lamps, which are controlled by the host monitor. No Alarm Display is shown in the field for red alarms, Companion Mode is shown in the yellow alarms field, and the INOPs field is blacked out. Companion Mode No Alarm Display
) at the side. The background color of the alarm Alarm message: An alarm message text appears in the alarm status area at the top of the screen indicating the source of the alarm. If more than one measurement is in an alarm condition, the message changes every two seconds, and has an arrow (
message matches the alarm priority: red for red alarms, yellow for yellow alarms, light blue for standard INOPs, red for red INOPs and yellow for yellow INOPs. The asterisk symbols (*) beside the alarm message match the alarm priority: *** for red alarms, ** for yellow alarms, * for short yellow alarms. Standard INOPs do not have a symbol, red and yellow INOPs have exclamation marks beside the alarm message: !!! for red INOPs and !! for yellow INOPs. Depending on how your monitor is configured, it may display alarm limit violation messages
in text form, for example **SpO2 LOW or
in numeric form, for example **SpO2 94<96, where the first number shows the maximum deviation from the alarm limit, and the second number shows the currently set limit. Flashing numeric: The numeric of the measurement in alarm flashes. Bright alarm limits: If the alarm was triggered by an alarm limit violation, the corresponding alarm limit on the monitor screen is shown more brightly if Show AlarmLimits is enabled and there is sufficient room on the screen. Alarm lamp: A lamp on the monitors front panel flashes. The alarm lamp is divided into two sections. The right one flashes for a patient alarm, except for short yellow alarms where the lamp will light for approximately six seconds. The color is yellow or red corresponding to the highest priority patient alarm currently present. The left one lights continuously for a light blue INOP and flashes for yellow or red INOPs as follows:
40 Audible Alarm Indicators 4 Alarms INOP Lamp Color Yellow Red Modulation (how long the lamp is on or off while flashing) On 1.0 seconds 0.25 seconds Off 1.0 seconds 0.25 seconds If only patient alarms are present, and no INOPs, the patient alarms will use both left and right sections to flash (for red and yellow alarms) or light for approximately six seconds (for short yellow alarms). If only INOPs are present, and no patient alarms, red and yellow INOPs will use both left and right sections to flash but light blue INOPs will always light continuously in the left section only. Nurse call systems: If configured to do so, red, yellow and light blue alarms are indicated on any device connected to the nurse call relay. Audible Alarm Indicators The audible alarm indicators configured for your monitor depend on which alarm standard applies in your hospital. Audible alarm indicator patterns are repeated until you acknowledge the alarm by switching it off or pausing it, or until the alarm condition ceases (if audible alarm indication is set to non-latching). WARNING Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level or off during patient monitoring may result in patient danger. Remember that the most reliable method of patient monitoring combines close personal surveillance with correct operation of monitoring equipment.
No alarms are available on the MP5 when connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated). Alarms become active again as soon as the MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor.
When connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated), no alarm tones are available on the MP5. Alarm Tone Configuration The audible alarm indicators of your monitor are configurable. In the monitors Configuration Mode, you can:
increase the alarm volume of unacknowledged alarms at regular intervals
change the interval between alarm sounds (ISO/IEC Standard alarms only)
change the base volume of the red and yellow alarm tones and the INOP tones
change the alarm sound to suit the different alarm standards valid in different countries. Traditional Audible Alarms (HP/Agilent/Philips/Carenet)
Red alarms and red INOPs: A high pitched sound is repeated once a second.
Two-star yellow alarms and yellow INOPs: A lower pitched sound is repeated every two seconds. 41 4 Alarms Audible Alarm Indicators
One-star yellow alarms (short yellow alarms): The audible indicator is the same as for yellow alarms, but of shorter duration.
Standard INOPs: an INOP tone is repeated every two seconds. ISO/IEC Standard Audible Alarms
Red alarms and red INOPs: A high pitched tone is repeated five times, followed by a configurable pause.
Two-star yellow alarms and yellow INOPs: A lower pitched tone is repeated three times, followed by a configurable pause.
One-star yellow alarms (short yellow alarms): The audible indicator is the same as for yellow alarms, but of shorter duration.
Standard INOPs: a lower pitched tone is repeated twice, followed by a pause. Changing the Alarm Tone Volume The alarm volume symbol at the top right of the monitor screen gives you an indication of the current volume. To change the volume, select the volume symbol and then select the required volume from the pop-up selection. If you want to see a numerical indication of the current alarm volume on a scale from zero to 10, or change the setting, select the Alarm Volume SmartKey. The volume scale pops up. The current setting is indented. To change the setting, select the required number on the scale. Any settings that are inactive (grayed out) have been disabled in the monitors Configuration Mode. Alarm Volume When the alarm volume is set to zero (off), the alarm volume symbol reflects this. If you switch the alarm volume off, you will not get any audible indication of alarm conditions. There is no alarm volume indication on the MP5 screen when the MP5 is connected to a host monitor
(Companion Mode is indicated). Minimum Volume for No Central Monitoring INOP If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, and the connection is interrupted, the INOP message No Central Monit. will appear within 30 seconds, accompanied by an INOP tone. To help ensure that this INOP, and any other active alarm, is not overlooked, the INOP and alarm tones may be configured to have a minimum volume. In this case, INOP and alarm tones will sound even if the monitor alarm volume is set to zero. Minimum Volume for Severe Yellow or Red INOPs Severe yellow or red INOPs require action to ensure the well-being of the patient. Therefore the minimum volume for the INOP tone is set to at least alarm volume 8, irrespective of the current alarm volume setting. The INOP tone will sound even if the monitor alarm volume is set to zero. The severe INOPs for which this applies are:
Cuff Not Deflated (configurable to yellow or red) 42 Acknowledging Alarms 4 Alarms NBP Cuff Overpress (configurable to yellow or red) Power Loss Tone When power is lost - no power is available from the power cable or from a battery - a buzzer will sound, if so configured. The tone can be silenced by pressing the On/Off power switch. Acknowledging Alarms To acknowledge all active alarms and INOPs, select the Silence permanent key. This switches off the audible alarm indicators and alarm lamps. Silence A check mark beside the alarm message indicates that the alarm has been acknowledged. If the monitor is configured to re-alarm, a dashed check mark will be shown. If the condition that triggered the alarm is still present after the alarm has been acknowledged, the alarm message stays on the screen with a check mark symbol beside it, except for NBP alarms. When an NBP alarm is acknowledged the alarm message disappears. If the alarm condition is no longer present, all alarm indicators stop and the alarm is reset. Switching off the alarms for the measurement in alarm, or switching off the measurement itself, also stops alarm indication. APNEA Acknowledging Disconnect INOPs Acknowledging an INOP that results from a disconnected transducer switches off the associated measurement. The only exception is ECG/Resp: acknowledging a disconnect INOP for ECG leads does not switch off the ECG and Resp measurements. Acknowledging a disconnect INOP at the Information Center switches off the audible INOP indicator but does not switch off the measurement. Alarm Reminder (ReAlarm) If Alarm Reminder is configured on for your monitor, you will get an audible reminder of alarm conditions that remain active after you have acknowledged the alarm. This reminder may take the form of a repetition of the alarm tone for a limited time, or an unlimited repetition of the alarm tone (this is the same as a new alarm). Alarm reminder is not available for standard, light blue INOPs but for yellow and red INOPs. In Configuration Mode, you can set the interval between silencing the alarm and sounding the reminder tone to one, two, or three minutes. The alarm reminder behavior at the Information Center is different to that at the monitor. Refer to the Information Center Instructions for Use for further information. 43 4 Alarms Pausing or Switching Off Alarms Pausing or Switching Off Alarms If you want to temporarily prevent alarms from sounding, for example while you are moving a patient, you can pause alarms. Depending on your monitor configuration, alarms are paused for one, two, or three minutes, or infinitely. To view the alarm pause setting chosen for your unit, Select Main Setup -> Alarms -> Alarm Settings 1 2 Check the Alarms Off setting. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. To Pause All Alarms Select the Pause Alarms permanent key. If your monitor is configured to infinite pause time, the permanent key is labelled Alarms Off, and selecting it switches alarms off. Depending on the configuration, you may need to select Confirm to complete the change. Pause Alarms To Switch All Alarms Off You can only switch alarms off permanently if your monitor is configured to allow infinite alarms pause and the permanent key is labelled Alarms Off. Select the Alarms Off permanent key. Depending on the configuration, you may need to select Confirm to complete the change. Pausing alarms infinitely is the same as switching them off. Alarms Off To Switch Individual Measurement Alarms On or Off 1 2 Select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu. Select Alarms to toggle between On and Off. The alarms off symbol is shown beside the measurement numeric. While Alarms are Paused or Off
The red Alarms Paused lamp on the monitor front panel is lit.
In the alarm field, the monitor displays the message ALARMS PAUSED or ALARMS OFF, together with the alarms paused symbol and the remaining pause time in minutes and seconds, or alarms off symbol. ALARMS PAUSED 1:28 44 Alarm Limits 4 Alarms
No alarms are sounded and no alarm messages are shown.
INOP messages are shown but no INOP tones are ALARMS OFF sounded. The only exceptions are the INOPs CUFF NOT DEFLATED, CUFF OVERPRESS and INOPs relating to empty, missing and malfunctioning batteries. These INOPs switch the alarms on, and the INOP tones are sounded, even if alarms are paused or off. You need to remove the INOP condition first before you can switch the alarm tones off again.
The nurse call relay is not active. If a NO SENSOR or NO TRANSDUCER INOP is present and alarms are paused or switched off, the measurement in question is switched off. Restarting Paused Alarms To manually switch on alarm indication again after a pause, select the permanent key PAUSE ALARMS (or ALARMS OFF) again. Alarm indication starts again automatically after the pause period expires. If the monitor is configured to stay paused infinitely, you must select ALARMS OFF again to restart alarm indication. Resetting Arrhythmia Alarm Timeouts To reset the arrhythmia alarm timeout period, select the ALARMS OFF or PAUSE ALARMS permanent key and then reselect it. Extending the Alarm Pause Time If your monitor has extended alarm pause enabled, you can extend the alarm pause time. Use this to prevent alarms being indicated, for example, while you are washing a patient or carrying out a procedure. Only extend the alarm pause time when you are sure that clinical personnel are available to monitor the patients condition closely. To extend the alarm pause time to five or 10 minutes, Select one of the alarm fields. This calls up the Alarm Messages window. Select either the pop-up key Pause Al. 5 min or the pop-up key Pause Al. 10 min. Each time you select one of these pop-up keys, the Alarm Pause Time is reset to five (or 10) minutes. 1 2 Alarm Limits The alarm limits you set determine the conditions that trigger yellow and red limit alarms. For some measurements (for example, SpO2), where the value ranges from 100 to 0, setting the high alarm limit to 100 switches the high alarm off. In these cases, the alarms off symbol is not displayed. WARNING Be aware that the monitors in your care area may each have different alarm settings, to suit different patients. Always check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient before you start monitoring. 45 4 Alarms Alarm Limits Viewing Individual Alarm Limits 85120 HR 50 Alarm limits You can usually see the alarm limits set for each measurement next to the measurement numeric on the main screen. If your monitor is not configured to show the alarm limits next to the numeric, you can see them in the appropriate measurement setup menu. Select the measurement numeric to enter the menu and check the limits. Viewing All Alarm Limits The Alarm Limits overview window lists the currently set alarm limits for all measurements. If an Apnea alarm delay time is set, this is also shown. The ALARMS OFF symbol is shown beside the measurement label of any measurement whose alarm switched off. To open the Alarm Limits window, either select any alarm field to open the Alarm Messages window, then select the Alarm Limits pop-up key, or select the Alarm Limits SmartKey, if configured.

If you set the yellow alarm limit outside the red alarm limit, the monitor will automatically set the red alarm to the yellow alarm limit. When an ST measurement is in the Change Limits window there are also two pop-up keys available labeled All ST Narrow/All ST Wide. With these keys you can set Auto Limits for all ST Leads. 48 Alarm Limits 4 Alarms About Automatic Alarm Limits (AutoLimits) The monitor can automatically set alarm limits suited to your individual patient, using the Automatic Alarm Limits function. This tells the monitor to adapt the alarm limits of selected measurements to the measured vital signs within a defined safe limit. The monitor calculates safe AutoLimits for each patient based on the measured values from the last 12 seconds. The wide and narrow limits have a fixed relationship to the measured value within the non-
pathological range. Outside of this range, no auto limits are calculated. To set values outside of the non-pathological range, limits must be changed manually, based on the clinicians judgement about the specific patient. 3 1 2 2 1 4 Wide alarm limits Narrow alarm limits Alarm Limits Measurement value 1 2 3 4 Limits Narrow sets limits close to the currently measured values for situations where it is critical for you to be informed about small changes in your patients vital signs. Limits Wide sets limits further away from the currently measured values for situations where small changes are not so critical. Use the keys in the Change Limits window to apply AutoLimits for individual measurements. These keys are not available if AutoLimits have been disabled for the measurement in the monitors Configuration Mode. AutoLimits are not available for all measurements. The list of measurements for which AutoLimits can be used is defined in the monitors Configuration mode. Use the Change Limits window to check AutoLimits before you apply them to ensure that they are appropriate for your individual patient and their clinical condition. Once applied, AutoLimits are shown on the monitor screen just like manually-set alarm limits. If the AutoLimits are not appropriate for your patient, you must set alarm limits manually. The limits remain unchanged until you set them again or change them manually. Documenting Alarm Limits The alarm limits pop-up keys appear with the Alarm Limits and Change Limits windows. Select the Print Limits pop-up key to print an overview of all alarm limits on a connected printer. 49 4 Alarms Reviewing Alarms Select the Record Limits pop-up key to send a recording of the alarm limits to a recorder. Reviewing Alarms You can see which alarms and INOPs are currently active in the respective alarms and INOPs fields at the top of the screen. To see the currently active alarms and INOPs listed in one place, select any of the alarm status areas on the monitor screen. The Alarm Messages window pops up. All alarms and INOPs are erased from the Review Alarms window when you discharge a patient, or if you change to Demonstration Mode. Alarm Messages Window The Alarm Messages window shows all the currently active alarms and INOPs sorted by priority, beginning at the top with the most recent. INOPs are shown on the left hand side and patient alarms are shown on the right hand side. Any active red alarms are shown first, followed by yellow alarms. Acknowledged alarms or INOPs are shown with the check mark symbol. The Alarm Messages window pop-up keys appear when the window is opened.

Review Alarms 5 Apr 16:55:18 *** Apnea 5 Apr 16:55:18 ** ABPs HIGH (120 >95) 5 Apr 16:55:18 Alarms On 5 Apr 16:45:15 ** SpO2 NON-PULSAT. 5 Apr 16:44:57 Alarms Off 5 Apr 16:44:46 ** awRR LOW (14<15) 5 Apr 16:44:39 ** SpO2 LOW (95<99) 5 Apr 16:44:28 ** ABPs HIGH (120>95) If configured to do so, each alarm is shown with the alarm limit active when the alarm was triggered and the maximum value measured beyond this limit. The Review Alarms window also shows when the monitor was switched on (after being switched off for longer than 1 minute) and any changes made to the Alarms On/Off, Standby, Silence or ECG source. No entries are made in the Review Alarms window of the MP5 while it is connected to a host monitor, except the time when the MP5 was connected to the host (Companion Entered), and when it was disconnected (Companion Left). Alarms can be reviewed on the host monitor. When you select an item from the list, you can get additional information about that item. If you select a high or low limit alarm in the list, the Graphical Trends window will open to provide further data. If you select an alarm resulting from an event alarm notification, the Event Episode window for that event will open. If you select an alert other than a high or low alarm, a help text window opens with more information. This is the same as the help text window that opens in the Alarm Messages window. Some items in the list are simply log items not related to a patient alert as such
(for example, Alarms On or Alarms Off). You cannot see any further information if you select one of these items. When you close these windows you will return to the Review Alarms window. The information in the Review Alarms window is deleted when a patient is discharged, and when you leave Demonstration Mode. The Review Alarms window pop-up keys appear when the window is opened. If alarm pause extension is disabled, the pause pop-up keys are inactive. Selecting the Active Alarms pop-up key opens the Alarm Messages window. Alarm Limits Active Alarms Pause Al. 5 Min. Pause Al. 10 Min. 51 4 Alarms Latching Alarms Latching Alarms The alarm latching setting for your monitor defines how the alarm indicators behave when you do not acknowledge them. When alarms are set to non-latching, their indicators end when the alarm condition ends. Switching alarm latching on means that visual and/or audible alarm indications are still displayed or announced by the monitor after the alarm condition ends. The indication lasts until you acknowledge the alarm. Viewing the Alarm Latching Settings To see the alarm latching setting for your monitor 1 2 In the monitors Main Setup menu, select Alarms. Select Alarm Settings, and see the Visual Latching and Audible Latching settings. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. You should be aware of the settings chosen for your unit. There are three possible choices each for visual and audible latching, Red, Red and Yellow, and Off. These choices can be combined to give the following settings:
Visual Latching Audible latching R = red alarms, Y = yellow alarms R&Y R&Y Alarm Latching Behavior R&Y R R&Y Off R R R Off Off Off Red and Yellow Measurement Alarms Non-latching alarms Visual and audible latching Visual latching, audible non-latching Alarm has not been acknowledged.

Audible and visual alarm indicators automatically stop. All INOPs are non-latching. See Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms on page 122 for information on one-star yellow alarms latching behavior. Testing Alarms When you switch the monitor on, a selftest is started. You must check that the alarms lamps light, one after the other, and that you hear a single tone. This indicates that the visible and audible alarm indicators are functioning correctly. For further testing of individual measurement alarms, perform the measurement on yourself (for example SpO2 or CO2) or use a simulator. Adjust alarm limits and check that appropriate alarm behavior is observed. 52 Alarm Behavior at On/Off 4 Alarms Alarm Behavior at On/Off When you switch alarms on, the settings defined in the currently active Profile are used. If the monitor is switched off for longer than one minute and then switched on again, or after a loss of power lasting longer than one minute, or when a patient is discharged, the monitor can be configured to restore either the alarm settings from the monitor's configured default Profile, or the most recently used alarm settings. After any of these situations, you should check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient, and if necessary, select the correct Profile and patient category. If power is lost for less than one minute, the alarm settings prior to the power loss are restored. Alarm Recordings 1 2 3 4 5 You can set up your monitor so that it automatically triggers alarm recordings at the Information Center, or if configured, to a printer as a realtime report. Press the Main Setup SmartKey. Select Alarms from the Main Setup menu. Select Alarm Recording from the Alarms menu to open the Alarm Recordings menu. Select a measurement from those listed for which you want to change the alarm condition that triggers an alarm recording. This opens a pop-up list. For the desired measurement(s), choose the alarm condition to trigger an alarm recording:
Red Only: an alarm recording will automatically be triggered when the measurement enters a red alarm condition. Red&Yell: both yellow and red alarms will trigger an alarm recording. Off: disables automatic alarm recording. Refer to the chapter Recording for details of how to set up a recording. 53 4 Alarms Alarm Recordings 54 5 5Patient Alarms and INOPs This chapter lists patient alarms and technical alarms (INOPs) alphabetically, irrespective of their priority. INOPs start on page 61. All alarms and INOPs are listed here; the ones which can appear on your monitor will depend on the model and the individual options. For information on alarms and INOPs from the gas module refer to your Gas Module Instructions for Use. Patient Alarm Messages The measurement labels and abbreviations for pressure, temperature, SpO2, and anesthetic agent alarms are explained in the individual chapters. Some alarms may be shown at the Information Center in shortened form, when transferred through IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry. These shortened alarm texts are included in the list and identified with the note at Information Center. Note that yellow arrhythmia alarms may be shown with one or with two stars, depending on your monitor configuration and the Information Center revision you are using. Refer to your IntelliBridge Device Driver Instructions for Use for patient alarms from connected external devices.

If necessary, improve lead position or reduce patient motion. If you have arrhythmia analysis on, and you are not getting a reliable HR because the signal is below a minimum amplitude, unstable, or contains artifact, and you have tried to improve the system performance by choosing another lead and changing electrodes, you should consider turning arrhythmia analysis off. The QT algorithm cannot generate a valid QT value for more than 10 minutes, or 1 minute in the initial phase. The ST algorithm cannot generate a valid ST value. Possible causes are large variations in the measured ST values for consecutive beats, or ventricular paced beats. Review the ECG signal quality and the ST measurement points.

Perform either a pre-insertion or an in-vivo calibration. The signal is out of the normal range, and no oxygen saturation can be derived. Perform an in-vivo calibration. If the INOP persists, try another Optical Module and catheter. The Optical Module has been configured to SaO2 Mode. Use Change to Venous in the setup menu to reconfigure to venous saturation mode. The Optical Module was disconnected during data storage. Reconnect the Optical Module for at least 20 seconds. 76 Technical Alarm Messages (INOPs) 5 Patient Alarms and INOPs INOP Message, Indication

(ADT) patients. All patient demographic and ADT information is shared between the patient monitor and the Information Center, for example, patients admitted to the monitor are automatically admitted to a connected Information Center. Note that when the MP5 is connected to a host monitor, its ability to admit or discharge a patient is disabled, and the host monitor controls patient demographic and ADT information. Admitting a Patient The monitor displays physiological data and stores it in the trends as soon as a patient is connected. This lets you monitor a patient who is not yet admitted. It is however important to admit patients properly so that you can identify your patient on recordings, reports, and networked devices. During admission you enter data that the monitor needs for safe and accurate operation. For example, the patient category setting determines the algorithm the monitor uses to process and calculate some measurements, the safety limits that apply for some measurements, and the alarm limit ranges. NOTE It is strongly recommended that the same patient data fields be configured to be mandatory at the monitor and the Information Center. To admit a patient, 1 Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window. 85 6 Managing Patients Admitting a Patient Patient Demographics Adult No Last Name First Name Middle Name Lifetime Id Encounter Id Patient Cat. Paced Height Weight BSA (D) DOB Age Gender Notes (1):

2 Clear any previous patient data by selecting the Dischrge Patient or End Case pop-up key and then Confirm. If you do not discharge the previous patient, you will not be able to distinguish data from the previous and current patients, for example, in the trend database. Select Admit Patient. 3 4 Enter the patient information: select each field and use the on-screen keyboard or choose from the pop-up list of alternatives to input information. Last Name: Enter the patients last name (family name), for example Smith. First Name: Enter the patients first name, for example Joseph. Middle Name (if configured to appear): Enter the patients middle name. Lifetime Id, Encounter Id: Whether these fields appear and how they are labelled can be configured for your hospital. One or both fields may be displayed and the labels may read:
MRN, Case Id, Visit Id, etc. Enter the appropriate data for the fields displayed. Patient Cat: Choose the patient category, either Adult, Pediatric, or Neonatal. Paced: Choose Yes or No (You must use Yes if your patient has a pacemaker). Height: Enter the patients height. Weight: Enter the patients weight. BSA: The monitor calculates the body surface area automatically. Date Of Birth: Enter the patients date of birth. Enter this in the form dd/mm/yyyy. Age: The monitor calculates the patient age automatically. Gender: Choose Male or Female. Notes: Enter any extra information about the patient or treatment. Select Confirm. The patient status changes to admitted. 5 86 Quick Admitting a Patient 6 Managing Patients Patient Category and Paced Status The patient category setting determines the algorithm the monitor uses to process and calculate some measurements, the safety limits that apply for some measurements, and the alarm limit ranges. The paced setting determines whether the monitor shows pacemaker pulses or not. When Paced is set to No, pace pulses are filtered and therefore do not show in the ECG wave. WARNING Patient Category and Paced status will always contain a value, regardless of whether the patient is fully admitted or not. If you do not specify settings for these fields, the monitor uses the default settings from the current profile, which might not be correct for your patient. Patient category Changing the patient category may change the arrhythmia and NBP alarm limits. Always check alarm limits to make sure that they are appropriate for your patient. Paced status For paced patients, you must set Paced to Yes. If it is incorrectly set to No, the monitor could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm during asystole. Admitting a Centrally-Monitored Patient You can admit a patient at either the bedside or the Information Center. When you admit a patient, the patients name appears on the bedside monitor and the Information Center. If you do not fill in all patient information required by the Information Center, the Information Center may reject the admission. Complete all the required fields and try again to admit the patient. Quick Admitting a Patient Use Quick Admit only if you do not have the time or information to fully admit a patient. Complete the rest of the patient demographic details later. Select the Quick Admit SmartKey. 2 Enter the required data (ID fields or Last Name depending on configuration) with the keyboard. Select Enter. In the confirmation window, select Confirm to discharge the previous patient (if confirmation is configured). 1 3 4 5 Check that patient category and paced status are correct for the new patient. If the monitor is connected to an Information Center and only the ID field is entered, the patient name is set to - - - at the Information Center. Complete the rest of the demographic details as soon as possible to fully identify the patient on the network, on the monitor and on printed reports. To complete the details, select Admit Patient again and complete all required fields. Editing Patient Information To edit the patient information after a patient has been admitted, select the patient name field on the Main Screen to open the Patient Demographics window, and make the required changes. 87 6 Managing Patients Discharging a Patient Discharging a Patient WARNING Always perform a discharge before starting monitoring for a new patient, even if your previous patient was not admitted. Failure to do so can lead to data being attributed to the wrong patient. A discharge:
clears the information in the Patient Demographics window erases all patient data (such as trend, event, and calculation data) from the monitor and Information Center. This ensures that data from a previous patient are not mixed with data from the new patient. resets patient category and paced settings to the settings defined in the default Profile resets all monitor and measurement settings as well as the active Screen to the settings defined in the default Profile discharges the patient from the Information Center. 1 2 When a patient is discharged from the monitor or from an Information Center, all patient data is deleted. Make sure that you have printed out any required reports before discharging. Check that a functioning central printer is available before you use End Case. To discharge a patient, Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window and associated pop-up keys. Select the pop-up key for either:
End Case - to print any configured end case reports or vital signs recording, discharge the patient and clear the patient database, then enter standby mode. If an End Case SmartKey is configured for your monitor, you can also select this instead and then confirm. To see which end case reports are set up for your monitor, select Main Setup -> Reports ->
Auto Reports. For each auto report, if End Case Report is set to On, this report will be printed when you select End Case. See the section on AutoReports for information on setting up end case reports. Dischrge Patient - to discharge the patient without printing any reports. New Patient Check The monitor can be configured to ask you in certain situations:
after a specified power-off period
after a specified standby period
when no basic vitals (HR, RR, Pulse, SpO2, NBP) have been measured for a specified period whether a new patient is now being monitored. The pop-up window is entitled Is this a new Patient?. The monitor offers a Yes key to discharge the previous patient and begin monitoring a new patient and a No key to continue monitoring with the current patient data and settings. The time periods for the three conditions can be configured independently. 88 Transferring Patients 6 Managing Patients Transferring Patients To save you from having to enter the same patient data multiple times and enable patient transfer without loss of data, patient demographic information is shared between patient monitors and Information Centers. Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient using IIT Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved with the MP5 to another monitoring location on the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information. The MP5 has an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface (IIT), is connected to a host monitor and is declared as a telemetry device at the Information Center. NOTE The Transfer key is not available while the MP5 is connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated). 1 Remove the MP5 from the host monitor. 2 Move the patient using the MP5 as the transport monitor. 3 At the new location, just before connecting the MP5 to the new host monitor:
open the Patient Demographics window. select the Transfer pop-up key. wait until the transfer has completed. 4 Connect the MP5 to the new host monitor. The monitor detects a patient mismatch and a window will open showing your patients data and asking Complete transfer of this patient?. Select Yes to complete the transfer. This re-admits the patient from the transfer list to the new monitor. This will upload the patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the MP5 to the receiving monitor. 5 Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct. Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient with the Monitor 1 Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved with the monitor to another monitoring location on the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information. Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window, then select the Transfer pop-up key. If the patient is not admitted or not monitored by an Information Center, the Transfer key is inactive
(grayed-out). This step preserves the patients demographic data during the transfer. 2 At the new location, connect the monitor to the network (only needed for wired networks). If the monitor detects a patient mismatch, a window will open showing your patients data and asking Complete transfer of this patient?. Select Yes to complete the transfer. 3 4 Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct. 89 6 Managing Patients Transferring Patients If you accidentally transfer a patient, use Re-Admit to restore this patients data to the Information Center. If you are not connected to the network, select Clear Transfer to leave transfer mode. The patient data remains in the monitor. Data Exchange Between Information Centers You can transfer demographic data and trend data from one IIC to another by selecting Transfer on the patient monitor. Trend data is not shared between Information Centers and monitors. Resolving Patient Information Mismatch When you connect together devices which store patient demographic data, for example:
an MMS and a monitor,
an X2 or MP5 and a host monitor,
a monitor and an Information Center, the system compares patient category, paced status, and unique patient identification in order to synchronize this information. If configured to do so, the monitor indicates a mismatch if the information is not identical. WARNING 1 When a monitor is connected to an Information Center by the wireless IntelliVue Instrument 2 Telemetry interface, the patient data will automatically be merged in the case of a transfer. This means there is no patient discharge at the monitor and settings and trend data will be retained. You will see a message on the monitor and the Patient Demographics window will automatically appear so that you can check the data and change it if necessary. It is important to resolve the mismatches as soon as they are identified. Failure to do so could result in using incorrect/confusing data to make clinical decisions. Certain settings, for example Paced and Patient Category, may not match between the Information Center and the monitor. If the Paced status is set incorrectly, the system could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm in the case of asystole. It is important that the Patient Category is set correctly so the ECG can be analyzed correctly and initial arrhythmia alarm limits set. In the case where an MP5 or X2 with an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface is declared as a telemetry device at the Information Center and is connected to a host monitor, it is important to resolve an existing mismatch between the monitor and the Information Center before disconnecting the MP5/X2. Failure to do so discharges the MP5/X2 and synchronizes the demographics and settings to the Information Center. Manually Resolving Patient Mismatch The patient mismatch is indicated by question marks (???) beside the questionable fields in the Monitor Info Line and in the Select Patient window. The monitor displays a message such as Different patients in Central and Monitor. The Select Patient window automatically opens so you can decide which patient data to use. You do not have to resolve the mismatch immediately, but the indicators remain until you do. 90 Transferring Patients 6 Managing Patients For some common mismatch situations, the monitor will simplify the resolution by suggesting a solution for the mismatch. For example, when a patient arrives after transport and the Transfer key has been selected, the monitor will show this patients data and ask Complete transfer of this patient?. You can then select Yes to complete the transfer. If you select No you will go to the Select Patient window. After you resolve the mismatch, the monitor displays a confirmation window that shows the patient that has been selected and where data will be erased, if applicable. Confirm your choice. The monitor automatically displays the Patient Demographics window after confirmation. Verify that the settings shown are correct for the patient. Gender, date of birth, height, weight, and nursing notes do not generate a mismatch. If these fields are different on different devices, the monitor resolves them itself. For example, it may take date of birth from the Information Center, whilst taking gender from the monitor. Always check the Patient Demographics after combining patients, to ensure that you are satisfied with the results. Change them if necessary. WARNING After resolving a patient mismatch, check that the monitor settings (especially patient category, paced status and alarm limits) are correct for the patient. Patient Mismatch - If One Set of Patient Data is Correct If there is a mismatch between an Information Center and a monitor, choose the data set you want to continue using for this patient by selecting one of the sectors in the Select Patient window. After you resolve the mismatch, the monitor displays a confirmation window that shows the patient that has been selected and where data will be erased, if applicable. Confirm your choice. The monitor automatically displays the Patient Demographics window after confirmation. Verify that the settings shown are correct for the patient. Select Patient DOE, JOHN F 1234HG9556, 2008/00123 Adult Non-Paced MILLER, Adult Paced Same Patient New Patient Patient Mismatch - If Neither Patient Data Set is Correct A patient mismatch where neither set of patient data is correct might occur if you connect a new MMS to a monitor in order to prepare for a new patient, before you actually start measuring. Select New Patient if you are sure that none of the information is correct. This discharges all patients, erases all data in both the monitor and MMS, resets all settings to the default Profile, and lets you admit a new patient. Patient Mismatch - If Both Patient Data Sets Are Correct A patient mismatch where both sets of patient data are correct might occur if you admit a new patient at the monitor (or Information Center) before the patient arrives at your unit and then connect the MMS that was used during the patient transport to the monitor. 91 6 Managing Patients Care Groups Select Same Patient if the patient information is different, but you are sure it is the same patient. This merges the demographics and updates them in the Information Center, monitor, and MMS, according to this table. Be aware that your monitor may be configured to merge trend data from the MMS and the monitor, and to upload measurement settings from the MMS to the monitor. Care Groups If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, you can group bedside monitors into Care Groups. This lets you:
view information on the monitor screen from another bed in the same or in a different Care Group.
be notified of yellow or red alarm conditions at the other beds in the Care Group.
see the alarm status of all the beds in the Care Group on each monitor screen. There are two main types of Care Groups:
standard care group (Bed-based Care Group) - up to 12 patients monitored by up to 4 Information Centers
unit group (Unit-based Care Group) - for a complete unit with up to 64 patients monitored by up to 4 Information Centers Monitors must be assigned to these Care Groups at the Information Center. There is a third care group which can be assigned locally at the bedside. This is the My Central care group which includes all beds (up to 16) from the Information Center your bed is connected to. This care group setting is typically used in facilities with only one Information center. The selection of beds is automatic and cannot be changed. The functions available with Care Groups depend on the Information Center revision your monitors are connected to. See your Information Center Instructions for Use for further details. Understanding the Care Group Overview Bar The Care Group monitors status is shown in symbol form in the Care Group overview bar. Flashing symbols indicate active alarms, symbols that are not flashing indicate alarms that have been acknowledged. Selecting a bed symbol calls up the window for that bed or a setup window to select this.

To temporarily disable and re-enable automatic alarm notification at the bedside monitor, for example if you want to carry out a procedure, in Monitoring Mode:
96 Care Groups 6 Managing Patients 1 2 Select the network symbol on the monitor screen to call up the Network menu. Select Auto Window to toggle between the settings Enabled and Disabled. This setting resets to the default at discharge and when the monitor is switched on. Always re-enable the Auto Window as soon as possible. 97 6 Managing Patients Care Groups 98 7 7ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring The electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart and displays it on the monitor as a waveform and a numeric. This section also tells you about arrhythmia monitoring (see page 115), ST monitoring (see page 127) and QT monitoring (see page 137). Skin Preparation for Electrode Placement Good electrode-to-skin contact is important for a good ECG signal, as the skin is a poor conductor of electricity. Select sites with intact skin, without impairment of any kind. 1 2 Clip or shave hair from sites as necessary. 3 Wash sites thoroughly with soap and water, leaving no soap residue. We do not recommend using ether or pure alcohol, because this dries the skin and increases the resistance. 4 Dry skin thoroughly. 5 Gently abrade the skin using ECG skin preparation paper to remove dead skin cells to improve the conductivity of the electrode site. Connecting ECG Cables 1 Attach the clips or snaps to the electrodes before placing them. If you are not using pre-gelled electrodes, apply electrode gel to the electrodes before placement. Place the electrodes on the patient according to the lead placement you have chosen. 2 3 Attach the electrode cable to the patient cable. 4 Plug the patient cable into the white ECG connector on the monitor. An ECG waveform and numeric appears on the monitor display. CAUTION To protect the monitor from damage during defibrillation, for accurate ECG information and to protect against noise and other interference, use only ECG electrodes and cables specified by Philips. 99 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Selecting the Primary and Secondary ECG Leads Selecting the Primary and Secondary ECG Leads The monitor uses the primary and secondary lead to compute HR and to analyze and detect cardiac arrhythmias. They are also available for recordings and for display on the Information Center. The secondary lead is only used if your monitor is configured for multi-lead (instead of single-lead) arrhythmia analysis. You should choose a lead as primary or secondary lead that has the following characteristics:
the QRS complex should be either completely above or below the baseline and it should not be biphasic
the QRS complex should be tall and narrow
the P-waves and T-waves should be less than 0.2 mV To select a lead as primary or secondary lead:
In the Setup ECG menu, select Primary Lead or Secondary Lead, then select the appropriate lead. You can assign any available lead whether it is currently displayed or not. Checking Paced Status It is important to set the paced status correctly when you start monitoring ECG. To change the paced status in the Setup ECG menu, select Paced to toggle between Yes or No. WARNING Pace pulse rejection must be switched on for paced patients by setting Paced to Yes. Switching pace pulse rejection off for paced patients may result in pace pulses being counted as regular QRS complexes, which could prevent an asystole event from being detected. When changing profiles, and at admission/discharge, always check that paced status is correct for the patient. Some pace pulses can be difficult to reject. When this happens, the pulses are counted as a QRS complex, and could result in an incorrect HR and failure to detect cardiac arrest or some arrhythmias. Make sure that pace pulses are detected correctly by checking the pace pulse markers on the display. Keep pacemaker patients under close observation. Understanding the ECG Display Your display may be configured to look slightly different. 100 Monitoring Paced Patients 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring 1 8 2 3 4 5 M EASI 7 Paced Rhythm HR bpm 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Lead label of the displayed wave 1 mV calibration bar Pacer spikes Pace pulse markers Current heart rate Current heart rate alarm limits EASI lead placement label ECG Filter label ECG HR numeric: This is the heart rate derived from the monitored ECG. Pace pulse markers: These are shown if the Paced status has been set to Yes, the pacer spikes are not configured to have a fixed size, and the patient has a paced signal. Pacer Spikes: The pacer spikes are shown in white, unless the ECG wave is white, then they will be green. If the pacer spikes have been configured to have a fixed size, they will be displayed in the background as a dotted line. 1 Pacer spikes configured to have a fixed size 1 Defibrillator synchronization marks: If an HP/Agilent/Philips defibrillator is connected, the synchronization marks (vertical lines on the ECG wave) are shown on the ECG wave. The synchronization marks will be shown in yellow, unless the ECG wave is yellow, then they will be green. If so configured, the monitor can supply its own synchronization marks; in this case the synchronization marks from a defibrillator will not be shown. ST numerics in ECG wave: ST numerics can be configured to show underneath the ECG wave on the left side. Monitoring Paced Patients An ECG optimized for monitoring a paced patient should look like this:
101 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Monitoring Paced Patients 1 2 1 2 Normal Beats Pace Pulses/Beats You should choose a lead as primary or secondary lead that has these characteristics:
the normal QRS complex should be either completely above or below the baseline and it should not be biphasic. For paced patients, the QRS complexes should be at least twice the height of pace pulses.
the QRS complex should be tall and narrow
the P-waves and the T-waves should be less than 0.2 mV. For ease of identification on the screen, the pacer spikes can be configured to have a fixed size. They are then shown in the background as a dotted lines. The length of the dotted line is fixed to the wave channel height and is independent of the actual pacer amplitude. Setting the Paced Status (Pace Pulse Rejection) In the Setup ECG menu, select Paced to toggle between Yes and No. You can also change the paced status in the Patient Demographics window. When Paced is set to Yes:
Paced Pace Pulse Rejection is switched on. This means that pacemaker pulses are not counted as extra QRS complexes. Non-Paced pace pulse marks are shown on the ECG wave as a small dash (only when the pacer spikes are not configured to have a fixed size) the paced symbol is displayed on the main screen. When Paced is set to No, pacer spikes are not shown in the ECG wave. Be aware that switching pace pulse rejection off for paced patients may result in pace pulses being counted as regular QRS complexes, which could prevent an asystole event from being detected. Avoiding Pace Pulse Repolarization Tails Some unipolar pacemakers display pace pulses with repolarization tails. These tails may be counted as QRSs in the event of cardiac arrest or other arrhythmias. If you note a visible repolarization tail, choose a lead that decreases the size of the repolarization tail. 102 Changing the Size of the ECG Wave 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring 1 Repolarization tail
(note width) 1 Changing the Size of the ECG Wave If any of the displayed ECG waves is too small or clipped, you can change the size of one or all of the ECG waves on the screen. Changing the adjustment factor only changes the visual appearance of the ECG wave on the screen. It does not affect the ECG signal analyzed by the monitor. Comparing the wave size to the 1 mV calibration bar on the ECG wave segment can help you to get an idea of the true ECG signal strength. If you choose a fixed adjustment factor, the 1 mV calibration bar will be the same size for all the displayed ECG waves. If you choose AutoSize, or an individual size using the Size Up / Size Down keys, the calibration bar may be a different size for each wave. To Change the Size of an Individual ECG Wave 1 2 Select the wave segment you want to change. This calls up the lead menu for this segment. In the lead menu, select Size Up to increase wave size or Size Down to decrease the size. Selecting AutoSize lets the monitor choose the optimal adjustment factor for all displayed ECG waves. To Change the Size of all the ECG Waves 1 2 To change the size of all the ECG waves on the screen by a fixed adjustment factor, In the Setup ECG menu, select Adjust Size. Select the required adjustment factor from the line of pop-up keys. Size x0.5 to halve the wave size Size x1 to display the wave without zoom Size x2 to double the wave size Size x4 to multiply the wave size by four Previous Size: to return one step to the previous size Auto Size: to let the monitor choose the optimal adjustment factor for all the ECG waves. Changing the Volume of the QRS Tone The QRS tone is derived from either the HR or Pulse, depending on which is currently selected as the alarm source. The QRS volume can be set from 0 to 10 (0 means off). 103 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Changing the ECG Filter Settings To change the QRS volume, in the Setup ECG menu select QRS Volume and then select the appropriate volume from the pop-up list. There will be no QRS tone when the MP5 is connected to a host monitor. Changing the ECG Filter Settings The ECG filter setting defines how ECG waves are smoothed. An abbreviation indicating the filter type is shown underneath the lead label on the monitor display. Filter settings do not affect ST measurement. To change the filter setting, in the Setup ECG menu, select Filter and then select the appropriate setting. Monitor: Use under normal measurement conditions. Ext. Monitor: Use for pediatric and neonatal patients when diagnostic quality is required but low frequency interference or a wandering baseline may be expected. The upper edge frequency is the same as the Diag setting and the lower edge frequency is the same as the Monitor setting. Filter: The filter reduces interference to the signal. It should be used if the signal is distorted by high frequency or low frequency interference. High frequency interference usually results in large amplitude spikes making the ECG signal look irregular. Low frequency interference usually leads to a wandering or rough baseline. In the operating room, the Filter reduces artifacts and interference from electro-surgical units. Under normal measurement conditions, selecting Filter may suppress the QRS complexes too much and thus interfere with the clinical evaluation of the ECG displayed on the monitor. This does not affect the ECG analysis performed by the monitor. If AutoFilter is set to On in Configuration Mode, the filter setting will automatically be set to Filter if electromagnetic interference is detected. Diag: Use when diagnostic quality is required. The unfiltered ECG wave is displayed so that changes such as R-wave notching or discrete elevation or depression of the ST segments are visible. The setting Diag selects the highest available ECG bandwidth which is 0.05 to 150 Hz for the Adult, Pedi and Neo patient category. The term diagnostic relates only to the ECG bandwidth requirements for diagnostic electrocardiographic devices as outlined in the ANSI/AAMI standard EC11-1991. When you are using a telemetry transmitter connected via short range radio to the monitor, the upper bandwidth for all filter settings is limited to 40 Hz. Selecting Positions of Va and Vb Chest Leads (for 6-
lead placement) The two chest leads for the 6-lead placement can be positioned at any two of the V1 to V6 positions. Select the positions you have used in the Setup ECG menu, so that the chest leads will be correctly labeled. In the Setup ECG menu, select Va Lead. Select the position used from the list. 1 2 104 Choosing EASI or Standard Lead Placement 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Select Vb Lead and select the position used from the list 3 Choosing EASI or Standard Lead Placement You must enable either standard lead placement or EASI lead placement. In the Setup ECG menu, select Lead Placement and then Standard or EASI. EASI is shown beside the 1mV calibration bar on the ECG wave on the display, and EASI is marked on any recorder strips and printouts. See the section on EASI ECG Lead Placement for electrode placement diagrams. About ECG Leads To make it possible to compare measured ECG signals, the electrodes (or lead sets) are placed in standardized positions, forming so-called leads. To obtain ECG signals optimized for use in diagnosis and patient management in different care environments, different lead sets in varying lead placements can be used. You can use either standard lead placements or EASI lead placements with this monitor. When placing electrodes, choose a flat, non-muscular site where the signal will not be interfered with by either movement or bones. Correct lead placement is always important for accurate diagnosis. Especially in the precordial leads, which are close to the heart, QRS morphology can be greatly altered if an electrode is moved away from its correct location. ECG Leads Monitored If you are using a 3-electrode set a 5-electrode set a 6-electrode set a 10-electrode set an EASI 5-electrode set these leads are available:
Resp is measured between electrodes:
I, II, III RA and LL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V and MCL RA and LL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, Va, Vb RA and LL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 RA and LL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 I and A Changing Lead Sets To change the ECG lead set,
When adding leads: place the additional electrodes as required - the monitor automatically recognizes the new lead placement.
When removing leads: there are two possibilities - removing the complete chest leads block or removing individual leads. If you unplug the chest lead block from the trunk cable connector, the monitor will automatically recognize the new lead placement. Remove individual leads by removing the electrodes. The monitor will issue a Lead Off INOP message; select New Lead Setup in the Setup ECG menu and the INOP message will disappear. 105 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ECG Lead Fallback ECG Lead Fallback If fallback is configured on and there is a leads off INOP in the primary lead (and in the secondary lead, if you are using multi-lead monitoring) for longer than 10 seconds, and if another lead is available, this available lead automatically becomes the primary lead. This is known as lead fallback. When the Leads Off condition is corrected, the leads are automatically switched back. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. ECG Lead Placements The labels and colors of the ECG electrodes differ according to the standards that apply for your hospital. The electrode placement illustrations in this chapter use the AAMI labels and colors.

The Va and Vb lead positions chosen must be selected in the ECG Setup Menu to ensure correct labeling. 107 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ECG Lead Placements Chest Electrode Placement For accurate chest electrode placement and measurement, it is important to locate the fourth intercostal space. 1 2 Locate the second intercostal space by first palpating the Angle of Lewis (the little bony protuberance where the body of the sternum joins the manubrium). This rise in the sternum is where the second rib is attached, and the space just below this is the second intercostal space. Palpate and count down the chest until you locate the fourth intercostal space. Angle of Lewis 2 3 4 V3R V4R V1 V2 V3 VE V6 V4 V5 V7 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 to 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 right posterior axillary line in the fifth intercostal space 108 ECG Lead Placements 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring 10-Lead Placement When monitoring 12-leads of ECG, using a 10-Electrode Lead Placement, it is important to correctly place electrodes and to label all 12-lead ECG reports with the correct lead placement. Conventional 12-Lead ECG 1 2 5 4 3 1 - V1 - V6 2 - LA 3 - LL 4 - RL 5 - RA In conventional 12-Lead ECG using 10 electrodes, an electrode is placed on the right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg. Six V-
electrodes are placed on the chest. The right leg electrode is the reference electrode. Limb electrodes:
Place arm electrodes on the inside of each arm, between the wrist and the elbow. Place leg electrodes inside of each calf, between the knee and the ankle. Chest electrodes:
V1 - on the 4th intercostal space at the right sternal border V2 - on the 4th intercostal space at the left sternal border V3 - midway between the V2 and V4 electrode positions V4 - on the 5th 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 109 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Capture 12-Lead Modified 12-Lead ECG 6 5 1 2 4 3 1 - LA 2 - V1 - V6 3 - LL 4 - RL 5 - RA 6 - Angle of Lewis If your institution uses modified 10 Lead ECG electrode placement (the Mason-Likar Lead System), place the four limb electrodes close to the shoulders and lower abdomen. The six V electrodes are placed on the chest in the same position as the conventional 12-lead placement. Choosing Standard or Modified Electrode Placement If your institution uses modified 10 Lead ECG electrode placement (the Mason-Likar Lead System), you must switch Mod.Lead Placment to On in the monitor. To do this, in the Setup ECG menu, select Mod.LeadPlacment to toggle between On and Off. When Mod.Lead Placment is set to On, 12 Lead ECG Reports will be labelled 12 Lead ECG Report (Mason-Likar), and captured 12-lead ECGs will be labelled Mason-
Likar to the right of the bandwidth annotation at the Information Center. ECG Report, and captured 12-lead ECGs will not be annotated at the Information Center. When Mod.LeadPlacment is set to Off, 12 Lead ECG Reports will be labelled 12 Lead WARNING Do not use ECG analysis interpretation statements and measurements for 12-lead ECGs obtained using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement. This may lead to misdiagnosis since the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement does not look the same as the conventional 12-lead ECG and may mask inferior infarction due to calculated axis, R, P and T wave magnitudes shifts and ST slope. Do not export 12-lead ECGs obtained using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement. Captured 12-Lead ECGs using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement exported from the Information Center are not annotated with the Mason-Likar label. Capture 12-Lead If the monitor is connected to an Information Center via a wired network, the Capture 12-Lead SmartKey may be configured. Selecting this exports 12-Lead ECG information to the Information Center for analysis. For details see the Instructions for Use supplied with the Information Center. 110 EASI ECG Lead Placement 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring EASI ECG Lead Placement Using a standard 5-electrode set in EASI lead placement you can monitor up to 12 standard ECG leads simultaneously and continuously at the bedside. EASI provides a monitoring method for trending ST segment changes that can provide an early indication of ischemia. WARNING EASI-derived 12-lead ECGs and their measurements are approximations to conventional 12-lead ECGs. As the 12-lead ECG derived with EASI is not exactly identical to the 12-lead conventional ECG obtained from an electrocardiograph, it should not be used for diagnostic interpretations. Respiratory monitoring is also possible with the EASI placement; respiration is measured between the I and A electrodes. Place the electrodes as accurately as possible to obtain the best quality EASI measurements. When EASI lead placement is selected, EASI is shown beside the 1mV calibration bar on the ECG wave on the display, and EASI is marked on any recorder strips and printouts. EASI Monitoring During INOP Conditions If one of the derived EASI leads has an INOP condition (for example, LEAD OFF), a flat line is displayed. After 10 seconds, the directly acquired EASI AI, AS, or ES lead (depending on which is available) is displayed with the corresponding lead label. This causes an arrhythmia relearn. EASI Electrode Placement 1 E (V) on the lower sternum at the level of the fifth intercostal space on the left midaxillary line at the same level as the E electrode on the upper sternum on the right midaxillary line at the same level as the E electrode reference electrode - can be anywhere, usually below the sixth rib on the right hip 2 3 4 5 A (LL) S (LA) I (RA) N 2 1 3 4 5 111 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview The ECG and arrhythmia alarms available depend on which measurements are switched on, and the arrhythmia option enabled for your monitor.

Special alarm features which apply only to ECG are described here. Extreme Alarm Limits The extreme rate alarms, Extreme Tachy and Extreme Brady, generated by the active alarm source, either HR or Pulse, are set in Configuration Mode by adding a set value (the value) to the high and low alarm limits. Extreme Brady Limit Low Limit High Limit Extreme Tachy Limit Extreme Brady Extreme Tachy You need to know which value has been configured for your monitor. Changing the high and low alarm limits automatically changes the extreme alarm limits within the allowed range. To see the extreme rate alarms set for your monitor, in the Setup ECG menu, see the menu items ExtrTachy and ExtrBrady. ECG Alarms Off Disabled Be aware that your hospital department may have decided to disable the setting ECG Alarms Off in the monitors Configuration Mode. In this case, HR alarms cannot be switched off in Monitoring Mode. If you try to switch off the HR alarms, you will see the message To activate enter Config and enable Alarms Off. HR Alarms When Arrhythmia Analysis is Switched Off When arrhythmia analysis is switched off, only these HR-related alarms will be detected:
the asystole alarm
the ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia alarm
the extreme tachycardia and extreme bradycardia alarms
the high heart rate and low heart rate alarms. Enhanced Asystole Detection In order to improve alarming on asystole under certain conditions, you can set Asystole Detect. in Configuration Mode to Enhanced. In enhanced mode an asystole alarm will be suppressed for up to five seconds if a valid beat-to-beat Pulse is detected from a Pressure. 113 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ECG Safety Information ECG Safety Information CAUTION Interference from instruments near the patient and ESU interference can cause problems with the ECG wave. See the monitor specifications for more information. WARNING Defibrillation and Electrosurgery: Do not touch the patient, or table, or instruments, during defibrillation. After defibrillation, the screen display recovers within 10 seconds if the correct electrodes are used and applied in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. ECG cables can be damaged when connected to a patient during defibrillation. Check cables for functionality before using them again. According to AAMI specifications the peak of the synchronized defibrillator discharge should be delivered within 60 ms of the peak of the R wave. The signal at the ECG output on the IntelliVue patient monitors is delayed by a maximum of 30 ms. Your biomedical engineer should verify that your ECG/Defibrillator combination does not exceed the recommended maximum delay of 60 ms. When using electrosurgical (ES) equipment, never place ECG electrodes near to the grounding plate of the ES device, as this can cause a lot of interference on the ECG signal. General: When you are connecting the electrodes or the patient cable, make sure that the connectors never come into contact with other conductive parts, or with earth. In particular, make sure that all of the ECG electrodes are attached to the patient, to prevent them from contacting conductive parts or earth. During surgery: Use the appropriate orange electrode ECG safety cable, or lead cable with an orange connector, for measuring ECG in the operating room. These cables have extra circuitry to protect the patient from burns during cautery, and they decrease electrical interference. This also reduces the hazard of burns in case of a defective neutral electrode at the HF device. These cables cannot be used for measuring respiration. Pacemaker failure: During complete heart block or pacemaker failure to pace/capture, tall P-waves
(greater than 1/5 of the average R-wave height) may be erroneously counted by the monitor, resulting in missed detection of cardiac arrest. Patients exhibiting intrinsic rhythm: When monitoring paced patients who exhibit only intrinsic rhythm, the monitor may erroneously count pace pulses as QRS complexes when the algorithm first encounters them, resulting in missed detection of cardiac arrest. The risk of missing cardiac arrest may be reduced by monitoring these patients with low heart rate limit at or slightly above the basic/demand pacemaker rate. A low heart rate alarm alerts you when the patients heart rate drops to a level where pacing is needed. Proper detection and classification of the paced rhythm can then be determined. Filtered ECG signal from external instruments: Instruments such as defibrillators or telemetry units produce a filtered ECG signal. When this signal is used as an input to the bedside monitor, it is filtered again. If this twice-filtered signal is passed to the arrhythmia algorithm, it may cause the algorithm to fail to detect pace pulses, pacemaker non-capture, or asystole, thus compromising paced patient monitoring performance. 114 About Arrhythmia Monitoring 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring External pacing electrodes: When a pacemaker with external pacing electrodes is being used on a patient, arrhythmia monitoring is severely compromised due to the high energy level in the pacer pulse. This may result in the arrhythmia algorithms failure to detect pacemaker noncapture or asystole. Fusion beat pacemakers: Pacemakers that create fusion beats (pace pulse on top of the QRS complex) cannot be detected by the monitors QRS detector. Rate adaptive pacemakers: Implanted pacemakers which can adapt to the Minute Ventilation rate may occasionally react on the Impedance measurement used by patient monitors for the determination of the Resp value and execute pacing with the maximum programmed rate. Switching off the Resp measurement can prevent this. About Arrhythmia Monitoring Arrhythmia analysis provides information on your patients condition, including heart rate, PVC rate, rhythm, and ectopics. The monitor uses the user-selected primary and secondary ECG leads for single-
lead or multi-lead arrhythmia analysis. During arrhythmia analysis, the monitor continuously
optimizes ECG signal quality. This is important for arrhythmia analysis. The monitor continuously filters the ECG signal to remove baseline wander, muscle artifact, and signal irregularities. Also, if the Patient Paced status is set to Yes, pace pulses are filtered out to avoid processing them as QRS beats.
detects beats, for example, QRS complexes, identifying them for further analysis.
measures signal features such as R-wave height, width, and timing.
creates beat templates, and classifies and labels beats to aid in rhythm analysis and alarm detection.
examines the ECG signal for ventricular fibrillation, asystole, and noise. Arrhythmia Options Your monitor has either the basic or the enhanced arrhythmia option. Both options provide rhythm and ectopic status messages and beat labelling. The number of rhythms being classified, events being detected, and alarms generated differs according to the option. The alarms available with the different options are listed in the section ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview on page 112, the rhythm and ectopic messages detected are listed in Arrhythmia Status Messages on page 119. Where Can I Find More Information?
See the Application Notes on ST and Arrhythmia supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the arrhythmia algorithm and its clinical application. 115 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Switching Arrhythmia Analysis On and Off Switching Arrhythmia Analysis On and Off In the Setup Arrhy menu, select Arrhythmia to toggle between On and Off. Select the Confirm pop-up key which appears at the bottom of the screen. 1 2 Be aware that when arrhythmia analysis is switched off, the message Arrhythmia Off appears beside the ECG wave, if configured to do so only the HR-related alarms are detected (the asystole alarm, the ventricular fibrillation/
tachycardia alarm, the extreme tachycardia and extreme bradycardia alarms, the high heart rate and low heart rate alarms) HR High and HR Low alarms behave like normal yellow alarms, no timeout periods are active. Choosing an ECG Lead for Arrhythmia Monitoring It is important to select a suitable lead for arrhythmia monitoring. Guidelines for non-paced patients are:
QRS complex should be tall and narrow (recommended amplitude > 0.5 mV) R-Wave should be above or below the baseline (but not bi-phasic) T-wave should be smaller than 1/3 R-wave height the P-wave should be smaller than 1/5 R-wave height. For paced patients, in addition to the above, the pace pulse should be:
not wider than the normal QRS the QRS complexes should be at least twice the height of pace pulses large enough to be detected, with no re-polarization. To prevent detection of P-waves or baseline noises as QRS complexes, the minimum detection level for QRS complexes is set at 0.15 mV, according to AAMI-EC 13 specifications. Adjusting the ECG wave size on the monitor display (gain adjustment) does not affect the ECG signal which is used for arrhythmia analysis. If the ECG signal is too small, you may get false alarms for pause or asystole. Aberrantly-Conducted Beats As P-waves are not analyzed, it is difficult and sometimes impossible for the monitor to distinguish between an aberrantly-conducted supraventricular beat and a ventricular beat. If the aberrant beat resembles a ventricular beat, it is classified as ventricular. You should always select a lead where the aberrantly-conducted beats have an R-wave that is as narrow as possible to minimize incorrect calls. Ventricular beats should look different from these normal beats. Instead of trying to select two leads with a narrow R-wave, it may be easier to just select one lead and use single lead arrhythmia monitoring. Extra vigilance is required by the clinician for this type of patient. Atrial Fibrillation Alarm The monitor performs atrial fibrillation analysis using information about the RR irregularity, PR interval variability and P wave variability. In order to generate an Afib alarm the following criteria must be detected for 1 minute:
normal beat RR intervals must be irregular 116 Understanding the Arrhythmia Display 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring
PR interval deviation must be large
P-wave region must not match well Atrial fibrillation analysis is only available for adult patients and atrial fibrillation detection cannot be performed on PVCs or Paced beats. Since most atrial flutters have regular RR intervals, they cannot be detected by the atrial fibrillation algorithm. An Afib alarm can be falsely detected in the presence of:
sinus arrhythmia,
muscle noise, or
electrode motion artifact. If you also have monitors with earlier software revisions, the Afib alarm will not be generated after a transfer to one of these monitors. Always leave the Irregular HR alarm switched on, so that this alarm can be generated in such situations. See the Application Note on Arrhythmia/ST supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the arrhythmia algorithm and ECG analysis. Intermittent Bundle Branch Block Bundle branch and the other fascicular blocks create a challenge for the arrhythmia algorithm. If the QRS during the block changes considerably from the learned normal, the blocked beat may be incorrectly classified as ventricular, causing false PVC alarms. You should always select a lead where the bundle branch block beats have an R-wave that is as narrow as possible to minimize incorrect calls. Ventricular beats should look different from these normal beats. Instead of trying to select two leads with a narrow R-wave, it may be easier to just select one lead and use single lead arrhythmia monitoring. Extra vigilance is required by the clinician for this type of patient. Understanding the Arrhythmia Display Your monitor screen may look slightly different from the illustration.

? = Insufficient information to classify beats I = Inoperative condition (e.g., LEADS OFF) M = Pause or missed beat 118 Understanding the Arrhythmia Display 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Status Messages The monitor displays two types of status messages:
Rhythm Status Messages -- to indicate the patients rhythm.
Ectopic Status Messages -- to indicate the presence of ectopic beats. These status messages are shown on the right hand side of the primary ECG wave. They are updated every second, with the exception of the Sinus and Supraventricular (SV) rhythm messages. The Sinus and SV rhythm messages are updated based on the current heart rate, taking into account the patient category (adult, pediatric, or neonatal). For the message to change from one rhythm status to another, the HR must be in the new range for five beats. If you have basic arrhythmia capability, you will get only messages for the alarms provided with this level. Rhythm Status Messages The label B or E indicates basic (B) or enhanced (E) arrhythmia capability.

Alarm timeout periods are cleared
Stored arrhythmia templates are cleared
Asystole, Vfib, and HR alarms (when there are enough beats to compute the HR) are active. No other alarms are active. Initiating Arrhythmia Relearning Manually 1 To initiate relearning manually, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select Relearn Arrhy. While the monitor is learning, the delayed arrhythmia wave displays the beat label L and the Next, the monitor determines the dominant rhythm. The beats are labeled N, and the rhythm rhythm status message Learning ECG. status message changes to Learning Rhythm. 2 After relearning is complete, you should check the delayed arrhythmia wave to ensure that the algorithm is labeling the beats correctly. 3 If beats are still not classified correctly, check that the ECG is optimized for arrhythmia monitoring. You may need to select a different lead or change the electrodes or electrode positions if there is excessive noise, unstable voltage, low amplitude, or large P- or T-waves. 120 Arrhythmia Alarms 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Automatic Arrhythmia Relearn Arrhythmia relearning is initiated automatically whenever:
ECG monitoring is switched on
The ECG Lead or Lead Label of the primary/secondary lead is changed manually, or when fallback occurs
A Leads Off INOP condition (that has been active for > 60 seconds) ends.
A telemetry device is directly connected to the monitor, or disconnected. If you are monitoring multi-lead arrhythmia and there is a change in one lead only, relearning happens only in the affected lead. During this learning phase, the system will continue monitoring using the other lead. Therefore, the delayed arrhythmia wave is not labeled L and there is no Learning ECG rhythm status message. In addition, alarm timeout periods are maintained, stored arrhythmia templates are maintained for the operative lead, and all alarms switched on are active. Arrhythmia Relearn and Lead Fallback Lead fallback triggers an automatic arrhythmia relearn. WARNING If arrhythmia learning takes place during ventricular rhythm, the ectopics may be incorrectly learned as the normal QRS complex. This may result in missed detection of subsequent events of V-Tach and V-
Fib. For this reason you should:
take care to initiate arrhythmia relearning only during periods of predominantly normal rhythm and when the ECG signal is relatively noise-free
be aware that arrhythmia relearning can happen automatically
respond to any INOP messages (for example, if you are prompted to reconnect electrodes)
be aware that a disconnected EASI electrode triggers an arrhythmia relearn on all leads
always ensure that the arrhythmia algorithm is labeling beats correctly. Arrhythmia Alarms Arrhythmia alarms can be switched on and off and the alarm settings changed just like other measurement alarms, as described in the Alarms section. Special alarm features which apply only to arrhythmia are described here. The different alarms detected and generated by the monitor depend on the level of arrhythmia analysis that is enabled. For a complete list of arrhythmia alarms and INOPs, see the Alarms chapter. The monitor detects arrhythmia alarm conditions by comparing ECG data to a set of pre-defined criteria. An alarm can be triggered by a rate exceeding a threshold (for example, HR >xx), an abnormal rhythm (for example, Ventricular Bigeminy), or an ectopic event (for example, Pair PVCs). 121 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Alarms Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms Yellow arrhythmia alarms are short yellow alarms specific to arrhythmia-related patient conditions. Depending on your monitor and Information Center configuration, they may be shown with one or two stars. The heart rate alarms (High HR and Low HR) can be configured as short yellow or standard yellow alarms. When they are standard yellow alarms they exist independently of the other arrhythmia alarms and no timeout periods apply. WARNING When arrhythmia analysis is on, all yellow ECG and arrhythmia alarms are short yellow alarms (one-
star). This means that the yellow alarm lamp and the tones are active for six seconds only, after which the blinking numeric and the alarm message remain for up to three minutes. The only exception to this are the HR High and Low alarms which can be configured as standard yellow alarms. Red alarms behave as usual. Arrhythmia Alarms and Latching When using arrhythmia analysis, Visual Latching and Audible Latching should be on for red alarms, or at least Visual Latching should be on. Because of the transient nature of arrhythmia alarms, many arrhythmia conditions may go unnoticed if alarm latching is off. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. Switching Individual Arrhythmia Alarms On and Off Some arrhythmia alarms can be individually switched on or off. They are:
Pacer not capture, Pacer not pace, Non-Sustain VT, Vent Rhythm, Run PVCs, Pair PVCs, R-on-T PVCs, V.Bigeminy, V.Trigeminy, Multif.PVCs, Pause, SVT, Irregular HR, Missed Beat, PVCs/min and Afib. To switch individual alarms on or off, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select the alarm from the list to toggle between On and Off. The monitor displays the INOP message SOME ECG ALRMS OFF, if configured, when more alarms are switched off than configured in your active profile. Switching All Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms On or Off All yellow arrhythmia alarms can be switched on and off together. To do this, In the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select All Yellow Off or All Yellow On. Adjusting the Arrhythmia Alarm Limits Some arrhythmia alarms have limits which can be individually adjusted. They are:
Vtach HR, Vtach Run, PVCs/min, Vent Rhythm, SVT HR, SVT Run, Asystole Thresh., Pause Threshold. 1 To adjust alarm limits, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select the alarm to be adjusted. 2 Select the appropriate setting from the pop-up list. 122 Arrhythmia Alarms 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout Periods Normally, an arrhythmia alarm is announced when an alarm condition is detected. However, there are certain situations that can inhibit the audible and visible indications of the alarm even though the alarm condition was detected. These include:
if a more serious alarm condition is active in the same chain
if a timeout period is in effect for a particular alarm
if a timeout period is in effect for a higher alarm in that chain. See Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining on page 124 for more details on alarm chains. What is a Timeout Period?
Timeout periods are automatically started when a yellow arrhythmia alarm is detected. During this period, the same alarm condition will not generate another alarm. Alarm conditions further down the same arrhythmia alarm chain will also not generate an alarm, but alarms further up the chain will: see Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining on page 124). This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. To view the timeout period configured for your monitor, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, see the menu items TimeOut 1st and TimeOut 2nd. Resetting the Timeout Period To reset the timeout period, select the Alarms Off or Pause Alarms permanent key and then reselect it. How are Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms Indicated?
When a yellow arrhythmia alarm is generated, it triggers visual and audible indicators. Yellow arrhythmia alarms are always set to latch visually for three minutes except HR High/Low alarms, if configured to standard yellow. Depending on the alarm condition, audible and visual alarm indicators will appear as follows:
Alarm Condition Example Audible Indicators Short yellow alarm tone sounds ... Visual Indicators Alarm message displayed ... Single alarm instance Non-sustained V-tach Continuous alarm condition PVCs/min HIGH Same intermittent alarm condition Pair of PVCs when alarm condition is initially detected when alarm condition is initially detected and - as an alarm reminder - every time the configured time out period has expired each time the alarm condition is detected, provided that the configured timeout period has expired for 3 minutes (latching time) until the alarm condition stops, plus a maximum of three minutes latching time 123 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Alarms If you silence a yellow arrhythmia alarm and the alarm condition still exists, the visual indicators continue until the condition stops. You will get an alarm reminder every time the configured timeout period has expired. If you silence a yellow arrhythmia alarm and the alarm condition has stopped, the visual indicators are immediately cleared. Silencing an alarm does not reset its time out period, so you will not get a realarm for the same condition or lower on the chain until the timeout expires. Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining When arrhythmia analysis is switched on, multiple alarm conditions may be present. Announcing all of the detected alarm conditions would be confusing, and might hide a more serious condition. For this reason, arrhythmia alarms are prioritized in three alarm chains: PVC Alarms; Beat Detection Alarms, and Rate Alarms. Only the highest priority alarm condition in each chain is announced. Lower priority alarms in the same chain will not be announced while an alarm is active or during the configured timeout period. If alarm conditions of equal severity from different chains are detected, the alarm condition that occurred most recently is announced. The exception is Irregular HR, which only occurs if no other alarms are occurring. See ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview on page 112 for information on which alarms are included in the different arrhythmia options. See Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout Periods on page 123 for an explanation of how alarm timeouts work. 124 Arrhythmia Alarms 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Red Arrhythmia Alarms Asystole Vent Fib/Tach V-Tach Extreme Tachy/Extreme Brady Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms Beat Detection Alarms Chain Rate Alarms Chain Pause Pacer Not Captured/

*If HR High/Low alarms are configured as standard yellow alarms, they are independent of the arrhythmia alarms and are not in the Rate alarms chain. If there is an active Vent Bigeminy alarm, a PVCs > xx/min will not be triggered because it is lower on the same chain. However, a high HR alarm will become active because it is on a different chain. Higher priority alarms supersede previous alarms. For example, if a Vent Trigeminy alarm is active and a Pair PVCs occurs, the Pair alarm will be activated. Understanding PVC-Related Alarms PVC-related alarms are detected on the basis of the current ventricular heart rate and the number of consecutive PVCs counted (referred to as PVC Runs). Example: This diagram illustrates the conditions under which PVC alarms would be generated if the Vent Rhythm Run limit is set to 12, the V-Tach Run Limit is set to eight, and the V-Tach HR Limit is set to 100. 125 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Alarms e t a R t r a e H r a u c i r t n e V l V-Tach Run Limit

** Run PVCs PVC Run > 2 but 12 HR 100
** Vent Rhythm PVC Run > 12 HR 100 V-Tach Heart Rate Limit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 14 15 Number of Consecutive PVCs (PVC Run) Ventricular Rhythm Run Limit You will see that
if both the V-Tach Heart Rate Limit and the V-Tach Run Limit are exceeded, a red V-Tach alarm is generated
if the ventricular heart rate exceeds the V-Tach Heart Rate Limit but not the V-Tach Run Limit, a yellow Non-Sustain VT alarm is generated. 126 About ST Monitoring 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring About ST Monitoring The monitor performs ST segment analysis on normal and atrially paced beats and calculates ST segment elevations and depressions. This information can be displayed in the form of ST numerics and snippets on the monitor. All available leads can be monitored continuously. The ECG waveform does not need to be displayed on the monitor for ST Segment analysis. ST analysis is always performed using a dedicated filter which ensures diagnostic quality. If you are monitoring ECG using an ECG filter mode other than Diagnostic, the ST segment of the ECG wave may look different from the ST segment of the ST snippet for the same wave. For diagnostic evaluation of the ST segment, always switch to Diagnostic filter mode or use the ST snippet. WARNING Some clinical conditions may make it difficult to achieve reliable ST monitoring, for example:
if you are unable to get a lead that is not noisy
if arrhythmias such as atrial fib/flutter are present, which may cause an irregular baseline
if the patient is continuously ventricularly paced
if the patient has left bundle branch block. You should consider switching ST monitoring off if these conditions are present. This monitor provides ST level change information; the clinical significance of the ST level change information should be determined by a physician. ST segment monitoring is intended for use with adult patients only and is not clinically validated for use with neonatal and pediatric patients. For this reason, the recommended - and default - setting for ST monitoring in neonatal and pediatric modes is ST Analysis: Off. Switching ST On and Off To switch all ST monitoring on or off, in the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Analysis to toggle between On and Off. Selecting Leads for ST Analysis You select which leads to use for ST analysis in the Setup ST Analysis menu. To see the current list of leads selected for ST analysis:
1 Enter the Setup ST Analysis menu. 2 Select Setup ST Leads. This opens the Setup ST Leads pop-up window. Leads chosen for ST monitoring are listed here. There are two pop-up keys at the bottom of the screen:
Add Delete If all leads are already selected, the Add pop-up key is disabled. To choose a lead for ST monitoring:
1 Select the Add key at the bottom of the Setup ST Leads window. This opens the Choices pop-up window. 127 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Understanding the ST Display 2 Choose a lead from the list for ST monitoring. This closes the Choices window and adds the selected lead to the list of chosen leads. To disable ST monitoring for a lead:
1 Choose a lead from the list in the Setup ST Leads window. 2 Select the Delete key. This removes this lead from the list. NOTE The order in which ST leads are listed in the Setup ST Leads menu determines the order in which ST leads are displayed on the monitor screen. To change the order in which ST leads are displayed, 1 2 In the Setup ST Leads menu, choose a lead from the list. Select the Sort Up or Sort Down key to move the lead up or down in the list. Understanding the ST Display Your monitor screen may be configured to look slightly different from the illustrations. 2 3 1 ST-II 1.2 ST-V 2.5 ST-aVR -3.0 1 2 3 ST numerics Current HR alarm limits Current heart rate ST Numerics Up to 12 ST numerics plus the ST index can be displayed on the monitor screen. They can be configured to show beside the measurement numerics, beside the ECG wave, or beside the ST snippet. A positive ST value indicates ST segment elevation; a negative value indicates depression. ST numerics are displayed in the order in which you select ST leads for analysis. If there is additional space in the field assigned to ST numerics, the monitor will display extra numerics in the order in which they appear in the Setup ST Analysis -> Setup ST Leads list. Any ST leads switched on for analysis that do not fit in the assigned numerics field are shown in succession in place of the last ST numeric. ST Index The ST index numeric (STindx) is the sum of the absolute values for the ST leads V2, V5, aVF. Because it is based on absolute values, it is always a positive number. If you havent selected one of the leads V2, V5, and aVF for ST analysis, the STindx numeric will display a question mark ?. To switch the ST index numeric on or off for display, in the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST-Index to toggle between On and Off. 128 Updating ST Baseline Snippets 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ST Snippets ST snippets show a one second wave segment for each measured ST lead. The most recent snippet is drawn in the same color as the ECG wave, usually green, superimposed over the stored baseline snippet, drawn in a different color. The comparison shows any deviation in the measurement since the baseline snippet was stored, for example as a result of a procedure carried out on the patient. The information is updated once per minute. If you do not see ST snippets on the Screen, select the Screen name in the Monitor Info Line and select a Screen configured to show snippets from the pop-up list of available Screens. ST Baseline Window The ST Baseline Window shows an ST snippet drawn on a grid. The current ST numeric and the ST numeric stored with the baseline are shown, as well as the difference between these two numerics. A ? in front of the difference numeric indicates that the ST measurement points were adjusted since the baseline snippet was stored. The Baseline Window opens with the ST pop-up keys Update Baseline, Record ST, Change ST Lead, Adjust ST Points, ST Map and arrow keys for scrolling through the available leads. To view the ST Baseline window, select any snippet on the Screen. ST Baseline 1 2 ST-II

If there is artifact in the signal, it may take longer for an ST snippet and an ST value to appear. 129 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Recording ST Segments The first baseline is stored automatically after ST monitoring is started, or when a new patient is admitted. To update ST baselines, Select an ST snippet to open the ST Baseline window. In the ST Baseline window, select Update Baseline to store all current snippets as baselines. This deletes all previously-stored baselines. 1 2 Recording ST Segments To record all currently available ST snippets and baselines, in the ST Baseline window, select the pop-up key Record ST. About the ST Measurement Points The ST value for each beat complex is the vertical difference between the ISO point and the ST point, as shown in the diagram below. The isoelectric (ISO) point provides the baseline, the ST point is at the midpoint of the ST segment. The J point is where the QRS complex changes its slope; as it is a fixed distance away from the ST point, it can be useful to help you position the ST point correctly. R-wave peak at 0 msec J point, for example, 48 msec T Difference = ST value P Q S Isoelectric point set to -80 msec ST measurement point, for example, J + 60 msec CAUTION The ST measurement points need to be adjusted when you start monitoring, and if the patient's heart rate or ECG morphology changes significantly, as this may affect the size of the QT interval and thus the placement of the ST point. Artifactual ST segment depression or elevation may occur if the isoelectric point or the ST point is incorrectly set. Always ensure that ST measurement points are appropriate for your patient. Adjusting ST Measurement Points Depending on your monitors configuration, the ST point can be positioned either 130 About the ST Measurement Points 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring

The most recent ST Points adjustment time is displayed in the Adjust ST Points window. This information is cleared when a patient is discharged or when a new Profile is loaded into the monitor. 5 To update the ST snippet shown in the Adjust ST Points window, select the Update pop-
up key. ST Alarms ST alarms are yellow alarms. Each ST lead has its own alarm limit. ST alarms are triggered when an ST value exceeds its alarm limit for more than one minute. Switching ST alarms off switches off alarms for all ST leads. If more than one ST measurement is in alarm, the monitor only displays the alarm message of the ST lead which is currently furthest from its set alarm limits. Single- or Multi-lead ST Alarming Be aware that if multi-lead ST alarming is switched on, only alarms involving more than one ST lead will be announced. To choose individual or multi-lead ST alarming, In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Alarm Mode and select either Single ST or Multi ST. Changing ST Alarm Limits The monitor can detect alarms on each ST lead separately, so you can set high and low ST alarm limits individually for each ST lead. You can also set separate alarm limits for single-lead and multi-lead ST monitoring. Set the high and low alarm limits based on your assessment of the patient's clinical condition, unit protocols, physician orders or medication specified limits. A good guideline is + 1.0 mm or - 1.0 mm from the patients's ST, or follow your hospital protocol. In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Alarm Mode and select Single ST or Multi ST. 1 132 Viewing ST Maps 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring 2 3 Select the alarm to be adjusted. Select the appropriate setting. Viewing ST Maps The monitor can derive a multi-axis portrait (map) from the ST analysis to help you detect changes in ST values. It displays two planes obtained from a multilead ECG in a multi-axis diagram, where each axis represents a lead. The ST value at the J point is given. The position of the axes within the diagram correspond to the placement of the ECG leads. Each ST value is assigned to either a limb lead, or to a chest lead. Every axis shows the polarity of the lead it represents. By joining adjacent ST values, the monitor obtains the ST map. The contour line, and the map shading, is shown in the same color as the ECG parameter. Current View In current view, the monitor displays an ST map that corresponds to the current ST values. Three or more leads per plane are necessary to display a map. The left of the following diagram shows leads I, II, III, aVR, aVL, and aVF on the limb leads. On the right, the V-leads (V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6) are on the chest leads.

If a lead is in INOP (the value is being measured but is invalid or unavailable because, for example, the corresponding ECG electrode is unplugged), the area formed by the remaining ST leads is left open. If there is insufficient information (for example, there are less than three chest leads) for a second ST map to be displayed, the currently available ST values are displayed in place of the second ST map. Limb Leads ST-I ST-II ST-aVR ST-aVL ST-aVF Trend View In trend view, you can see up to four trended ST maps, and the current ST map, simultaneously. You can configure the time interval between trended samples. The most recent map is shown in the same color as the parameter itself. Past values change from white through dark gray. In the diagram below, the time interval between trends is 12 seconds. The first trended sample is white and is 12 seconds old. The second trended sample corresponds to the ST values 24 seconds ago and so forth. The ST values on the diagrams show the current ST values. If a lead is turned off, its axis is no longer shown. This has no impact on the presentation of trended values that were recorded while the lead was still on. In the diagram below, lead V4 was switched off 20 seconds ago. The current ST values and the first trended value reflect this change in the lead setup. All other maps are displayed the way in which they were recorded. 134 Viewing ST Maps 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ST Map (Trend) Limb Leads Chest Leads Interval 12 sec trending interval current ST values In this diagram, V4 was either temporarily switched off, or in INOP, for around 30 seconds. No data was recorded. Consequently, the affected maps are not closed. Viewing an ST Map To display an ST map, In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Map. Working in the ST Map Task Window You may need to activate the ST map task window to see all the data, and to access the pop-up keys. Select the map view on screen to activate its task window. Once you activate it, you can perform the tasks detailed here. Switching Between ST Map Views To switch between views, Select Current View or Trend View to toggle between views. If your trend view is empty, you need to adjust the priority of this measurement in the trending priority list. See Trend Priority on page 212. 135 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Viewing ST Maps Displaying an ST Reference Baseline You can display an ST reference baseline for the current view, or for the trended view. The baseline is shown in yellow. However, if the ECG color is yellow, the baseline is shown in green. Use this baseline to detect ST changes. The baseline is derived automatically whenever the monitor relearns arrhythmia and also on user request. Select Show Baseline/Hide Baseline to toggle between baseline display on and off. Updating an ST Map Reference Baseline To update the baseline, In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Baseline -> Update baseline. Changing the Scale of the ST Map To change scale, Select Size Up or Size Down to alter the size at which monitor displays the map. Changing the Trending Interval To determine how frequently the monitor displays a trended sample, In Trend view, select Select Interval. Select the required interval from the menu. The interval ranges between 12 seconds to 30 minutes. 1 2 Printing an ST Map Report To print the most recently viewed (current or trend) window, Select Main Setup - > Reports. Select ST Map. Press Print. 1 2 3 136 About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring The QT interval is defined as the time between the beginning of the Q-wave and the end of the T-wave. It measures the total duration of the depolarization (QRS duration) and repolarization (ST-T) phases of the ventricular action potential. QT interval monitoring can assist in the detection of prolonged QT interval syndrome. R P T Q S QT interval The QT interval has an inverse relationship to heart rate. Faster heart rates shorten the QT interval and slower heart rates prolong the QT interval. Therefore there are several formulas used to correct the QT interval for heart rate. The heart rate corrected QT interval is abbreviated as QTc. The monitor uses as a default the Bazett correction formula and the alternative Fridericia formula can be selected in Configuration Mode. For QT interval monitoring to be effective, basic or enhanced arrhythmia monitoring should be turned on. QT Measurement Algorithm The QT values are updated every five minutes except in the initial phase (first five minutes) where they are updated once per minute. Normal or atrial paced beats and beats with a similar morphology are averaged to form a representative waveform for further processing. Normal beats followed by a premature QRS will be excluded from the measurements to prevent the premature beat from obscuring the end of the T-wave. If the algorithm cannot form a representative waveform, for example because the morphology of the beats is too varied, a CANNOT ANALYZE QT INOP will be generated after 10 minutes. This is also the case if normal beats have been falsely labelled so that the algorithm does not have enough valid beats to make QT measurements. No QT value is calculated if the QT-HR is
>150 bpm (Adult) or >180 bpm (Pedi/Neo). Because of the different algorithm approaches, a QT/QTc measurement from a diagnostic 12-lead program may differ from the realtime measurement on the monitor. Where Can I Find More Information?
See the Application Note on QT/QTc Interval Monitoring and the QT Interval Monitoring Quick Guide supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the QT algorithm and performance. 137 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring Indications For Use Of QT Interval Monitoring Of special concern for QT monitoring is the administration of QT prolonging drugs to patients identified with risk factors for Torsade de Pointe. Females, older patients and patients with bradycardia, impaired left ventricular function (ischemia, left ventricular hypertrophy), hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia are in this increased risk category. Limitations For Use Of QT Interval Monitoring Some conditions may make it difficult to achieve reliable QT monitoring, for example:
the T-wave is very flat
T-waves are not well defined due to atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation
the end of the T-wave is difficult to define because of the presence of U-waves
a high heart rate causes the P-wave to encroach on the end of the previous T-wave
noise or high QRS morphology variation For these cases you should select a lead with a good T-wave amplitude and no visible flutter activity, and without a predominant U-wave or P-wave. Some conditions such as left or right bundle branch block or hypertrophy can lead to a widened QRS complex. If a long QTc is observed you should verify it to ensure that it is not caused by QRS widening. Because normal beats followed by ventricular beats are not included in the analysis, no QT measurement will be generated in the presence of a bigeminy rhythm. If the heart rate is extremely high (over 150 bpm for adults and over 180 bpm for pediatrics and neonates) QT will not be measured. When the heart rate changes, it can take several minutes for the QT interval to stabilize. For reliable QTc calculation it is important to avoid a region where the heart rate is changing. WARNING QT/QTc measurements should always be verified by a qualified clinician. Selecting The QT Leads For QT Monitoring you can select one of the following three modes:
All Leads mode - all available leads (I, II, III, V, MCL, V1 - V6) are used to produce a global QT measurement. For EASI lead placement, directly acquired AI, AS and ES leads are used.
Primary-Lead mode - the primary lead will be used for QT measurement. If the original primary lead becomes unavailable or is changed, QT measurement will continue with the new primary lead.
Single-Lead mode - a single lead selected from all available leads (except the augmented leads) will be used for QT measurement. QT measurement will stop if the selected lead becomes unavailable. To select the mode, Select the QT numeric to enter the Setup QT Analysis window. Select QT Lead and select All, Primary Lead or one of the available single leads. 1 2 When using the All Leads mode, make sure when you compare QT values that they are based on the same set of leads. 138 About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Changing the lead(s) used for QT measurements will not cause the baseline to be reset. QT View In the QT View window you can verify that the QT algorithm detects correct Q and T points. The current waves are shown in the upper half of the window and the baseline waves in a different color below. The Q and T points are marked with a vertical line. By selecting one of the lead labels at the top of the window you can highlight the corresponding wave; the other waves are shown in gray. The underlined lead labels are the leads used for the QT calculation. By selecting the numeric area you can highlight all underlined leads. Changing The View To A Single Wave Set To view one set of waves in a larger scale, you can cycle through the different views, Select Current view to see the set of current waves. Select Baseline view to see the set of baseline waves. Select Split view to return to the combined view with current and baseline waves. 1 2 3 Setting The QT Baseline In order to quantify changes in the QTc value, you can set a QTc baseline. For example to assess the effect of medication on the QT interval you can set the current value as the baseline before you begin medication. This baseline will then be used to calculate the QTc value. To set the baseline, Select Set Baseline and set the value. 139 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring QT Alarms If no baseline has been set for this patient, the first five minute value after the start of monitoring is automatically set as baseline. If you set a new baseline the previous baseline is discarded. As the QTc alarm is based on the difference between the baseline and the current value, setting an inappropriate new baseline may prevent a QTc alarm from being generated. Discharging a patient clears the baseline. Printing The QT Waves To start a printout, Select Print QT. Recording The QT Waves To start a recording, Select Record QT. QT Alarms There are two QT alarms, QTc high limit alarm and QTc high alarm. The QTc high limit alarm is generated when the QTc value exceeds the set limit for more than 5 minutes. The QTc alarm is generated when the difference between the current value and the baseline value exceeds the set limit for more than 5 minutes. The CANNOT ANALYZE QT INOP and the ?_will be displayed when no QT measurement could be calculated for 10 minutes. Up to this time the previous valid value will be displayed. The following additional messages on the cause of the invalid measurements may also be displayed. Additional Message QT Startup Asystole or Leads Off Cause of Invalid QT Measurement QT monitoring was just turned on or has been reset 1 Not all specified leads needed to perform QT analysis are available, or Insufficient Valid Leads Invalid rhythm for QTc Not enough valid RR intervals to generate QT-HR, the averaged HR 2 Asystole condition is detected Not enough valid QRS complexes to generate a QT measurement High QT-HR Small R Wave Small T Wave End of T Not detected QT Out Of Range QTc Out Of Range QTc Erratic used for QTc calculation QT-HR exceeds the specified upper limit of 150 bpm (for adults) or 180 bpm (for neonates and pediatrics) R-wave of the signal is too small T-wave of the signal is too small End of the T-Wave cannot be accurately detected QT measurement is outside the specified range of valid QT values (200-

To switch an alarm on or off, in the Setup QT Analysis menu, select QTc High Alarm or QTc High Alarm to toggle between On and Off. Changing QTc Alarm Limits Set the high alarm limits based on your assessment of the patient's clinical condition, unit protocols, physician orders or medication specified limits. In the Setup QT Analysis menu, select QTc High Limit. Select the appropriate setting. Select QTc High Limit. Select the appropriate setting. 1 2 3 4 Switching QT Monitoring On and Off To switch all QT monitoring on or off, in the Setup QT Analysis menu, select QT Analysis to switch between On and Off. 141 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Switching QT Monitoring On and Off 142 8 8Monitoring Pulse Rate The pulse numeric counts the arterial pulsations that result from the mechanical activity of the heart in beats per minute (bpm). You can display a pulse from any measured SpO2 signal (pleth wave), or any arterial pressure (P, ABP, ART, Ao, PAP, UAP, FAP, BAP: see the pressure section for an explanation of the pressure labels). The displayed pulse numeric is labeled and color-coded to match its source wave. If the pulse numeric is not displayed, see the Setup Pulse menu to check whether it is switched on. Entering the Setup Pulse Menu If a pulse numeric is displayed on the screen, select it to enter the Setup Pulse (Pulse Source) menu. If no pulse numeric is visible, in the Setup SpO2 menu or a Setup arterial pressure menu, select Pulse (Pulse Source). System Pulse Source The currently selected system pulse source is shown in the setup menus of the pulse source measurements. The pulse rate chosen as system pulse:
is monitored as system pulse and generates alarms when you select pulse as the active alarm source
is sent via the network to the Information Center, if available
is trended in the HighRes Trends and stored in the monitors databases. To define which pulse rate is used as system pulse, 1 2 In the Setup Pulse menu, select System Pulse. Select one of the SpO2 or arterial pressure labels from the pop-up list, or select Auto. If you select Auto, the monitor automatically chooses a pulse rate to be used as system pulse. It looks through the list from top to bottom and activates the first pulse rate that is switched on and available. If your selected pulse source measurement becomes unavailable or is switched off, the monitor will use the next measurement from the list as system pulse until the selected pulse source measurement becomes available again. 143 8 Monitoring Pulse Rate Switching Pulse On and Off Switching Pulse On and Off To switch a particular pulse numeric on or off, enter the Setup Pulse menu via the measurement setup menu or wave menu of the pulse source. For example, to switch an SpO2 pulse numeric on or off, 1 Enter the Setup Pulse menu by selecting the Pulse numeric or by selecting Pulse in the Setup SpO2 menu. In the Setup Pulse menu, select Pulse (Pulse Source) to toggle between On and Off. 2 Using Pulse Alarms You can change pulse rate alarm limits in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu which can be accessed from the Setup Pulse menu or the Setup ECG menu by selecting Alarm Source (xxx) where xxx is the current alarm source. Changing the alarm limits for a specific Pulse numeric changes the alarm limits for all pulse rate alarms and heart rate alarms. Pulse alarms are only generated when the active alarm source is set to Pulse, a pulse source is set as system pulse and pulse alarms are switched on. Selecting the Active Alarm Source: ECG or Pulse?
In most cases the HR and Pulse numerics are identical. In order to avoid simultaneous alarms on HR and Pulse, the monitor uses either ECG or Pulse as its active alarm source. To change the alarm source, select Alarm Source in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu, then select
ECG: if you want the HR to be the alarm source for HR/Pulse.
Pulse: If you select Pulse as the active alarm source, the monitor will prompt you to confirm your choice. Be aware that if you select Pulse as the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched off.
Auto: If the Alarm Source is set to Auto, the monitor will use the heart rate from the ECG measurement as the alarm source whenever the ECG measurement is switched on and at least one ECG lead can be measured without an INOP condition. The monitor will automatically switch to Pulse as the alarm source if:
a valid ECG lead can no longer be measured and a Pulse source is switched on and available, The monitor then uses the pulse rate from the measurement currently active as system pulse. While Pulse is the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched off. If an ECG lead becomes available again, the monitor automatically uses HR as alarm source. Note: If ECG is switched off, the monitor will always change to Pulse as alarm source, if a Pulse is available. One exception to this rule can arise when you have a telemetry device paired with your monitor. The monitor ECG is then deactivated but the monitor may be configured to allow only ECG as the active alarm source. In this case the monitor will not switch to Pulse as alarm source and Pulse will not be available as a selection in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu. 144 Using Pulse Alarms 8 Monitoring Pulse Rate WARNING Selecting Pulse as the active alarm source for HR/Pulse switches off the arrhythmia alarms listed in the section ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview on page 112, including Asystole, Vfib and Vtach alarms, and the heart rate alarms. This is indicated by the message ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF (unless this has been configured off for your monitor), and the crossed-out alarm symbol beside the ECG heart rate numeric. The message ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF can be configured off, or to switch to a yellow
(medium severity) INOP after a fixed number of hours. High and low pulse rate and extreme bradycardia and extreme tachycardia alarms from pulse are active. Alarm Source Selection Disabled If Alarm Source Selection is disabled, you cannot change the alarm source. If you try to change the source, the monitor displays the message To activate enter Config and enable Alarm Source Selection. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. Changing HR/Pulse Alarm Limits As Pulse and HR share the same high and low alarm limits, if you change the alarm limit in the Setup Pulse menu, the high or low alarm limits for HR in the Setup ECG menu change automatically, and vice versa. The only exceptions are caused by a low limit clamp for each measurement: the lowest value for Pulse when derived from SpO2 is 30 bpm; for HR 15 bpm, and for Pressure 25 bpm. Extreme Alarm Limits The extreme rate alarms, Extreme Tachy and Extreme Brady, generated by the active alarm source, either HR or Pulse, are set in Configuration Mode by adding a set value to the high and low alarm limits. You need to know what value has been configured for your monitor. Changing the high and low alarm limits automatically changes the extreme alarm limits within the allowed range. To see the values added to the high and low limit alarms to create the extreme rate alarms for your monitor, in the Setup ECG menu, see the menu items ExtrTachy and ExtrBrady. QRS Tone The active alarm source is also used as a source for the QRS tone. You can change the tone volume in the Setup SpO2 and Setup ECG menus and the QRS tone modulation in the Setup SpO2 menu. WARNING The audible QRS tone might be influenced by external interference and is not intended to be used as a substitute for ECG based arrhythmia analysis. If arrhythmia detection is needed, do not rely on the audible QRS tone. 145 8 Monitoring Pulse Rate Using Pulse Alarms 146 9 9Monitoring Respiration Rate
(Resp) For the respiratory measurement (Resp), the monitor measures the thoracic impedance between two ECG electrodes on the patients chest. Changes in the impedance due to thoracic movement produce the Resp waveform on the monitor screen. The monitor counts the waveform cycles to calculate the respiration rate (RR). Lead Placement for Monitoring Resp Correct patient skin preparation techniques for electrode placement are important for Resp measurement: you will find this information in the chapter on ECG. The Resp measurement uses the standard ECG cable sets and lead placements. You can use any of the different types of ECG cable sets - 3-lead, 5-lead, 6-lead or 10-lead, using either standard or EASI placement - to measure Resp, as long as you use ICU ECG cables. The Resp signal is always measured between two of the ECG electrodes. If you are using standard ECG electrode placement, Resp is measured between the RA and LL electrodes. If you are using EASI ECG electrode placement, Resp is measured between the I and A electrodes. Optimizing Lead Placement for Resp If you want to measure Resp and you are already measuring ECG, you may need to optimize placement of the two electrodes between which Resp will be measured for some patients. Repositioning ECG electrodes from standard positions, especially when you are using EASI ECG electrode placement, results in changes in the ECG waveform and may influence ST and arrhythmia interpretation. Cardiac Overlay 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 electrode placement can help to reduce cardiac overlay: avoid the liver area and the ventricles of the heart in the line between the respiratory electrodes. This is particularly important for neonates. 147 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Understanding the Resp Display Lateral Chest Expansion Some patients, especially neonates, expand their chests laterally. In these cases it is best to place the two respiratory electrodes in the right midaxillary and left lateral chest areas at the patients maximum point of breathing movement to optimize the respiratory wave. Abdominal Breathing Some patients with restricted chest movement breathe mainly abdominally. In these cases, you may need to place the left leg electrode on the left abdomen at the point of maximum abdominal expansion to optimize the respiratory wave. Understanding the Resp Display The Resp measurement is displayed on the monitor as a continuous wave and a numeric respiration rate. If the detected respiration rate is close to the heart rate, this is indicated by the text HR = RR next to the respiration wave if you are in manual monitoring mode. Your monitor screen may look slightly different from the illustration. 1 Ohm calibration bar Manually-set Resp detection level Resp numeric and label Resp 1 Ohm 22RR Changing Resp Detection Modes The Resp detection level can be set either automatically or manually. To change the resp detection mode, in the Setup Resp menu, select Detection to toggle between the settings. Auto Detection Mode In Auto Detection Mode, the monitor adjusts the detection level automatically, depending on the wave height and the presence of cardiac artifact. Note that in Auto Detection Mode,
the detection level (a dotted line) is not displayed on the waveform, 148 Changing the Size of the Respiration Wave 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp)
the algorithm expects a heart rate and therefore needs at least 3 electrodes attached to the patient. If you are monitoring respiration with only two electrodes, the detection algorithm becomes less sensitive which may result in reduced breath detection performance. Use Auto Detection Mode for situations where:
the respiration rate is not close to the heart rate
breathing is spontaneous, with or without continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
patients are ventilated, except patients with Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (IMV). Manual Detection Mode In Manual Detection Mode you must set the Resp detection level. In the Setup Resp menu, select Manual Up or Manual Down. Use the dotted detection level line in the Resp waveform to determine when the desired level is reached. Once set, the detection level will not adapt automatically to different respiration depths. It is important to remember that if the depth of breathing changes, you may need to change the detection level. Use Manual Detection Mode for situations where:
the respiration rate and the heart rate are close.
patients have Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation.
respiration is weak. Try repositioning the electrodes to improve the signal. Resp Detection Modes and Cardiac Overlay In Auto Detection Mode: If you are monitoring Resp and the ECG is switched off, the monitor cannot compare the ECG and Resp rates to detect cardiac overlay. The respiration detection level is automatically set higher to prevent the detection of cardiac overlay as respiration. In Manual Detection Mode: Cardiac overlay can in certain situations trigger the respiration counter. This may lead to a false indication of a high respiration rate or an undetected apnea condition. If you suspect that cardiac overlay is being registered as breathing activity, raise the detection level above the zone of cardiac overlay. If the Resp wave is so small that raising the detection level is not possible, you may need to optimize the electrode placement as described in the section Lateral Chest Expansion. Changing the Size of the Respiration Wave 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 Setup Resp menu, select Size Up to increase the size of the wave or Size Down to decrease it. 149 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Changing the Speed of the Respiration Wave Changing the Speed of the Respiration Wave Resp waveforms are usually viewed at a slower speed than other waveforms. For this reason, the Resp measurement has its own speed control and is not affected by the wave speed settings of the other measurements. Select the Resp wave to enter the Resp Wave menu, then select Change Speed. Choose the required speed from the pop-up list. This defines the speed at which the wave is drawn across the screen in millimeters per second (mm/s). Using Resp Alarms Resp alarms can be switched on and off and the high and low alarm limits can be changed just like other measurement alarms, as described in the Alarms chapter. Changing the Apnea Alarm Delay The apnea alarm is a high priority red alarm used to detect apneas. The apnea alarm delay time defines the time period between the point where the monitor cannot detect any respiration activity and the indication of the apnea alarm. In the Setup Resp menu, select Apnea Time. Select the appropriate setting. 1 2 Resp Safety Information WARNING Respiration detection level If you do not set the detection level for the respiration correctly in manual detection mode, it may not be possible for the monitor to detect apnea. If you set the detection level too low, the monitor is more likely to detect cardiac activity, and to falsely interpret cardiac activity as respiratory activity in the case of apnea. Apnea The respiration measurement does not recognize obstructive and mixed apneas it only indicates an alarm when a pre-adjusted time has elapsed since the last detected breath. The safety and effectiveness of the respiration measurement method in the detection of apnea, particularly the apnea of prematurity and apnea of infancy, has not been established. Interference If operating under conditions according to the EMC Standard EN 60601-1-2 (Radiated Immunity 3V/m), field strengths above 1V/m may cause erroneous measurements at various frequencies. Therefore it is recommended to avoid the use of electrically radiating equipment in close proximity to the respiration measurement unit. Resp Accessories To monitor respiration, use only the non-OR ECG accessories listed in the Resp section of the accessories chapter. You cannot measure respiration if you are using an orange OR ECG cable set. This is because of the higher internal impedance of the OR cable set, required for use if electro-surgery is being performed. 150 Resp Safety Information 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Rate adaptive pacemakers: Implanted pacemakers which can adapt to the Minute Ventilation rate may occasionally react on the Impedance measurement used by patient monitors for the determination of the Resp value and execute pacing with the maximum programmed rate. Switching off the Resp measurement can prevent this. 151 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Resp Safety Information 152 10 10Monitoring SpO2 Philips pulse oximetry uses a motion-tolerant signal processing algorithm, based on Fourier artefact suppression technology (FAST). It provides four measurements:
Oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO2) - percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin in relation to the sum of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin (functional arterial oxygen saturation).
Pleth waveform - visual indication of patients pulse.
Pulse rate (derived from pleth wave) - detected pulsations per minute.
Perfusion indicator - numerical value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by arterial pulsation. The monitors are also compatible with SpO2 technologies from other manufacturers. Please refer to the instructions for use provided with these devices for further information. SpO2 Sensors Familiarize yourself with the instructions for use supplied with your sensor before using it. In particular, check that the sensor being used is appropriate for your patient category and application site. CAUTION Do not use OxiCliq disposable sensors in a high humidity environment, such as in neonatal incubators or in the presence of fluids, which may contaminate sensor and electrical connections causing unreliable or intermittent measurements. Do not use disposable sensors on patients who have allergic reactions to the adhesive. Applying the Sensor 1 Follow the SpO2 sensors instructions for use, adhering to all warnings and cautions. 2 Remove colored nail polish from the application site. 3 Apply the sensor to the patient. The application site should match the sensor size so that the sensor can neither fall off, nor apply excessive pressure. When using the M1195A Infant Finger Sensor, select a finger or toe with a diameter of between 7 and 8 mm (0.27 and 0.31). When applying a M1193A neonatal sensor do not overtighten the strap. 153 10 Monitoring SpO2 Connecting SpO2 Cables 4 Check that the light emitter and the photodetector are directly opposite each other. All light from the emitter must pass through the patients tissue. WARNING Loose Sensor: If a sensor is too loose, it might compromise the optical alignment or fall off. If it is too tight, for example because the application site is too large or becomes too large due to edema, excessive pressure may be applied. This can result in venous congestion distal from the application site, leading to interstitial edema, hypoxemia and tissue malnutrition. Skin irritations or lacerations may occur as a result of the sensor being attached to one location for too long. To avoid skin irritations and lacerations, periodically inspect the sensor application site and change the application site at least every four hours. Venous Pulsation: Do not apply sensor too tightly as this results in venous pulsation which may severely obstruct circulation and lead to inaccurate measurements. Ambient Temperature: At elevated ambient temperatures be careful with measurement sites that are not well perfused, because this can cause severe burns after prolonged application. All listed sensors operate without risk of exceeding 41C on the skin if the initial skin temperature does not exceed 35C. Extremities to Avoid: Avoid placing the sensor on extremities with an arterial catheter, or intravascular venous infusion line. Connecting SpO2 Cables Connect the sensor cable to the color-coded socket on the monitor. You can connect some Philips sensors directly to the monitor. For other sensors, use the corresponding adapter cable. CAUTION Extension cables: Do not use more than one extension cable (M1941A). Do not use an extension cable with Philips reusable sensors or adapter cables with part numbers ending in -L (indicates long cable version). Electrical Interference: Position the sensor cable and connector away from power cables, to avoid electrical interference. Humidity: For neonatal patients, make sure that all sensor connectors and adapter cable connectors are outside the incubator. The humid atmosphere inside can cause inaccurate measurements. Measuring SpO2 1 Select the correct patient category setting (adult/pediatric and neonatal), as this is used to optimize the calculation of the SpO2 and pulse numerics. 2 During measurement, ensure that the application site:
has a pulsatile flow, ideally with a perfusion indicator value above 1.0. has not changed in its thickness (for example, due to edema), causing an improper fit of the sensor. 154 SpO2 Signal Quality Indicator (Fast SpO2 only) 10 Monitoring SpO2 WARNING Inspect the application site every two to three hours to ensure skin quality and correct optical alignment. If the skin quality changes, move the sensor to another site. Change the application site at least every four hours. CAUTION Injected dyes such as methylene blue, or intravascular dyshemoglobins such as methemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin may lead to inaccurate measurements.
Interference can be caused by:
High levels of ambient light or strobe lights or flashing lights (such as fire alarm lamps). (Hint:
cover application site with opaque material.) Electromagnetic interference. Excessive patient movement and vibration. SpO2 Signal Quality Indicator (Fast SpO2 only) The SpO2 numeric is displayed together with a signal quality indicator (if configured and enough space is available) which gives an indication of the reliability of the current values. The level to which the triangle is filled shows the quality of the signal; the indicator below shows a medium signal quality, the signal quality is at a maximum when the triangle is completely filled. SpO2 Assessing a Suspicious SpO2 Reading Traditionally, pulse rate from SpO2 was compared with heart rate from ECG to confirm the validity of the SpO2 reading. With newer algorithms, such as FAST-SpO2, this is no longer a valid criteria because the correct calculation of SpO2 is not directly linked to the correct detection of each pulse. When pulse rate is very low, or strong arrhythmia is present, the SpO2/Pleth pulse rate may differ from the heart rate calculated from ECG but this does not indicate an inaccurate SpO2 value. If you doubt the measured SpO2, use the signal quality indicator (if available) or the pleth wave and perfusion indicator instead to assess the signal quality. NOTE With pulse oximetry, sensor movement, ambient light (especially strobe lights or flashing lights) or electromagnetic interference can give unexpected intermittent readings when the sensor is not attached to a patient. Especially bandage-type sensor designs are sensitive to minimal sensor movement that might occur when the sensor is dangling. 155 10 Monitoring SpO2 Changing the Averaging Time Changing the Averaging Time Depending on the monitor configuration, you may be able to change the averaging time for the SpO2 values. The averaging time represents the approximate time period used for the calculation. The exact averaging algorithm depends on the SpO2 technology (option) used and on the signal conditions. The longer the averaging time, the longer the time needed until the SpO2 value reflects the physiological event. Fast averaging is useful for situations where an extremely fast measurement is required or few artifacts are expected. Use slow averaging where you expect the number of artifacts to be relatively high. In the SpO2 Setup, select Average. Select the required averaging time from the list. 1 2 Setting the Measurement Mode When a telemetry device supplies SpO2T to the monitor via short range radio transmission, the monitor will have a manual measurement mode available. This allows SpO2 measurements to be made on request and not continuously, helping to save the telemetry devices battery power. To set the measurement mode, In the SpO2 Setup, select Mode. Select Continuous or Manual mode. 1 2 Making a Manual Measurement When the measurement mode is set to manual, In the SpO2 Setup, select Measure SpO2. When manual measurements are made, there will be no continuous SpO2 monitoring or alarming. The manual measurement value reflects a momentary status. The numerics from SpO2T measurements made in manual mode, for example SpO2T, PerfT, PulseT, will remain for a time on the main screen. They are annotated with the time that the measurement was made to distinguish them from continuously measured values. Perf T Understanding SpO2 Alarms This refers to SpO2 specific alarms. See the Alarms section for general alarm information. SpO2 offers high and low limit alarms, and a high priority desat alarm. You cannot set the low alarm limit below the desat alarm limit. 156 Pleth Wave 10 Monitoring SpO2 CAUTION If you measure SpO2 on a limb that has an inflated NBP cuff, a non-pulsatile SpO2 INOP can occur. If the monitor is configured to suppress this alarm there may be a delay of up to 60 seconds in indicating critical patient status, such as sudden pulse loss or hypoxia. Alarm Delays There is a delay between a physiological event at the measurement site and the corresponding alarm at the monitor. This delay has two components:
The time between the occurrence of the physiological event and when this event is represented by the displayed numerical values. This delay depends on the algorithmic processing and the configured averaging time. The longer the averaging time configured, the longer the time needed until the numerical values reflect the physiological event.
The time between the displayed numerical values crossing an alarm limit and the alarm indication on the monitor. This delay is the combination of the configured alarm delay time plus the general system delay time (see Monitor Performance Specifications on page 304). Adjusting the Alarm Limits In the Setup SpO2 menu:
Select High Limit then choose the high alarm limit.
Select Low Limit then choose the low alarm limit. WARNING High oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to retrolental fibroplasia. If this is a consideration do NOT set the high alarm limit to 100%, which is equivalent to switching the alarm off. Adjusting the Desat Limit Alarm The Desat alarm is a high priority (red) alarm notifying you of potentially life threatening drops in oxygen saturation. In the Setup SpO2 menu, select Desat Limit. 1 2 Adjust the limit. Pleth Wave The Pleth wave is autoscaled to maximum display size. It decreases only when the signal quality becomes marginal. It is NOT directly proportional to the pulse volume. If you need an indication of change in pulse volume, use the perfusion indicator. 157 10 Monitoring SpO2 Perfusion Numeric minimum size for reliable SpO2 value Perfusion Numeric The perfusion numeric (Perf) gives a value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by the pulsating arterial blood flow. As pulse oximetry is based on the pulsatile nature of the signal, you can also use the perfusion numeric as a quality indicator for the SpO2 measurement. Above 1 is optimal, between 0.3-1 is acceptable. Below 0.3 is marginal; reposition the sensor or find a better site. Perfusion Change Indicator The perfusion change indicator is a graphic symbol which shows the change in the perfusion value, relative to a reference value which you can set. To set the current perfusion value as the reference value:
In the Setup SpO2 menu, select Set Perf Ref.. When a reference value has been set, the perfusion change indicator is displayed next to the perfusion numeric. Perfusion change indicator Setting SpO2/Pleth as Pulse Source In the Setup SpO2 menu, select Pulse (SpO2) to enter the Setup Pulse menu. In the Setup Pulse menu, select System Pulse and select SpO2 from the pop-up list. 1 2 Setting Up Tone Modulation If tone modulation is on, the QRS tone pitch lowers when the SpO2 level drops. Remember, the QRS tone is derived from either heart rate or pulse depending on which is currently selected as the active alarm source. In the Setup SpO2 menu, select Tone Modulation to toggle between Yes (for on) and No (for off). 158 Setting the QRS Volume 10 Monitoring SpO2 Tone modulation is licensed under US patent US 4,653,498 from Nellcor Puritan Bennett Incorporated. Setting the QRS Volume In the Setup SpO2 menu, select QRS Volume and set the appropriate QRS tone volume. When the MP5 is connected to a host monitor there will be no QRS tone. 159 10 Monitoring SpO2 Setting the QRS Volume 160 11 11Monitoring NBP This monitor uses the oscillometric method for measuring NBP. In adult and pediatric mode, the blood pressure measurements determined with this device comply with the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers (ANSI/AAMI SP10-1992) in relation to mean error and standard deviation, when compared to intra-arterial or auscultatory measurements
(depending on the configuration) in a representative patient population. For the auscultatory reference, the fifth Korotkoff sound was used to determine the diastolic pressure. In neonatal mode, the blood pressure measurements determined with this device comply with the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers (ANSI/AAMI SP10-
1992) in relation to mean error and standard deviation, when compared to intra-arterial measurements in a representative patient population. The NBP measurement is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgery and during the discharge of a cardiac defibrillator according to IEC 601-2-30:1999/EN 60601-2-30:2000. A physician must determine the clinical significance of the NBP information. Introducing the Oscillometric NBP Measurement Oscillometric devices measure the amplitude of pressure changes in the occluding cuff as the cuff deflates from above systolic pressure. The amplitude suddenly increases as the pulse breaks through the occlusion in the artery. As the cuff pressure decreases further, the pulsations increase in amplitude, reach a maximum (which approximates to the mean pressure), and then diminish. Studies show that, especially in critical cases (arrhythmia, vasoconstriction, hypertension, shock), oscillometric devices are more accurate and consistent than devices using other noninvasive measuring techniques. WARNING Patient Category: Select the correct patient category setting for your patient. Do not apply the higher adult inflation, overpressure limits and measurement duration to neonatal patients. Intravenous infusion: Do not use the NBP cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion or arterial catheter in place. This could cause tissue damage around the catheter when the infusion is slowed or blocked during cuff inflation. Skin Damage: Do not measure NBP on patients with sickle-cell disease or any condition where skin damage has occurred or is expected. Unattended measurement: Use clinical judgement to decide whether to perform frequent unattended blood pressure measurements on patients with severe blood clotting disorders because of the risk of hematoma in the limb fitted with the cuff. 161 11 Monitoring NBP Preparing to Measure NBP CAUTION If you spill liquid onto the equipment or accessories, particularly if there is a chance that it can get inside the tubing or the measurement device, contact your service personnel. Measurement Limitations Measurements are impossible with heart rate extremes of less than 40 bpm or greater than 300 bpm, or if the patient is on a heart-lung machine. The measurement may be inaccurate or impossible:
if a regular arterial pressure pulse is hard to detect
with cardiac arrhythmias
with excessive and continuous patient movement such as shivering or convulsions
with rapid blood pressure changes
with severe shock or hypothermia that reduces blood flow to the peripheries
with obesity, where a thick layer of fat surrounding a limb dampens the oscillations coming from the artery
on an edematous extremity. Measurement Methods There are three methods of measuring NBP:
Manual - measurement on demand.
Auto - continually repeated measurements (between one and 120 minute adjustable interval).
Sequence - up to four measurement cycles which will run consecutively, with number of measurements and interval between them configurable for each cycle.
STAT - rapid series of measurements over a five minute period, then the monitor returns to the previous mode. Use only on supervised patients. Reference Method The NBP measurement reference method can be Auscultatory (manual cuff) or Invasive (intra-
arterial). For further information, see the Application Note on NBP supplied on the monitor documentation CD-ROM. In Adult and Pediatric mode to check the current setting, select Main Setup -> Measurements
-> NBP, and check whether the Reference setting is set to Auscultatory or Invasive. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. In Neonatal mode, to comply with safety standards, invasive is always used as the reference method. This setting cannot be changed and is not visible in any operating mode. Preparing to Measure NBP 1 Connect the cuff to the air tubing. 162 Preparing to Measure NBP 11 Monitoring NBP 2 Plug the air tubing into the red NBP connector. Avoid compression or restriction of pressure tubes. Air must pass unrestricted through the tubing. 3 Make sure that you are using a Philips-approved correct sized cuff and that the bladder inside the cover is not folded or twisted. A wrong cuff size, and a folded or twisted bladder, can cause inaccurate measurements. The width of the cuff should be in the range from 37% to 47% of the limb circumference. The inflatable part of the cuff should be long enough to encircle at least 80% of the limb. 4 Apply the cuff to a limb at the same level as the patients heart. If it is not, you must use the measurement correction formula to correct the measurement. The marking on the cuff must match the artery location. Do not wrap the cuff too tightly around the limb. It may cause discoloration, and ischemia of the extremities. Inspect the application site regularly to ensure skin quality and inspect the extremity of the cuffed limb for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If the skin quality changes, or if the extremity circulation is being affected, move the cuff to another site or stop the blood pressure measurements immediately. Check more frequently when making automatic or stat measurements. Correcting the Measurement if Limb is not at Heart Level To correct the measurement if the limb is not at heart level, to the displayed value add 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) for each centimeter higher or add 1.9mmHg (0.25kPa) for each inch higher. deduct 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) for each centimeter lower or deduct 1.9mmHg (0.25kPa) for each inch lower. Understanding the NBP Numerics Alarm source Measurement Mode Sys. Auto Timestamp/
Timer Alarm limits Systolic Diastolic Mean pressure Depending on the NBP numeric size, not all elements may be visible. Your monitor may be configured to display only the systolic and diastolic values. Alarm Sources if you have parallel alarm sources, the sources are displayed instead of the alarm limits. NBP Timestamp depending on the configured NBP Time setting, the time shown beside the NBP numeric can be:
Meas Time: the time of the most recent NBP measurement, or Next Meas: the time until the next measurement in an automatic series, displayed with a graphic representation of the remaining time, as shown here. 163 11 Monitoring NBP Starting and Stopping Measurements During measurements the cuff pressure is displayed instead of the units and the repeat time. An early systolic value gives you a preliminary indication of the systolic blood pressure during measurement.

For an automatic measurement, select Repeat Time and set the time interval between two measurements. Enabling Sequence Mode and Setting Up The Sequence 1 2 3 In the Setup NBP menu, select Mode and select Sequence from the pop-up menu. Select Setup Sequence to open the Setup Sequence window. Up to four measurement cycles can be setup which will run consecutively. For each cycle you can set the number of measurements and the interval between them. If you want to run less than four cycles in a sequence, you can set the number of measurements for one or more cycles to Off. Select each sequence in turn and select the number of measurements and the time interval between the measurements. 4 To have measurements continue after the sequence, set the number of measurements for your last cycle to Continuous and this cycle will run indefinitely. 165 11 Monitoring NBP Choosing the NBP Alarm Source CAUTION Be aware that, if none of the cycles are set to Continuous, NBP monitoring will end after the last measurement of the cycle. When the NBP measurement mode is set to Sequence, the repetition time for Auto mode cannot be changed. Choosing the NBP Alarm Source You can monitor for alarm conditions in systolic, diastolic and mean pressure, either singly or in parallel. Only one alarm is given, with the priority of mean, systolic, diastolic. In the Setup NBP menu, select Alarms from and choose from:
Menu option Pressure value monitored systolic Sys. diastolic Dia. mean Mean systolic and diastolic in parallel Sys&Dia diastolic and mean in parallel Dia&Mean Sys&Mean systolic and mean in parallel Sys&Dia&Mean all three pressures in parallel If mean is not selected as alarm source (Sys, Dia, or Sys&Dia selected), but the monitor can only derive a mean value, mean alarms will nevertheless be announced using the most recent mean alarm limits. When no value can be derived an NBP MEASURE FAILED INOP will be displayed. Switching Pulse from NBP On/Off In the process of making the NBP measurement, a pulse value can be derived and displayed. The pulse value is displayed together with the time the measurement was made. After one hour the value becomes invalid. There are no alarms associated with pulse from NBP. To switch the display of the pulse value on or off:

See the Service Guide for details. 167 11 Monitoring NBP Calibrating NBP 168 12 12Measuring Predictive Temperature With the predictive temperature measurement1a reading is available after six to15 seconds because the monitor uses an algorithm to predict what the temperature would be if the probe were left in place until a steady reading results. If a predictive measurement is not possible you can switch to Continuous mode. Here the probe is left in place until a steady reading is available - after approximately three minutes for oral and rectal measurements and five minutes for axillary measurements. When making a rectal measurement in Continuous mode, stay with the patient until the measurement is complete and remove the probe immediately. The reading is displayed until the probe is returned to the holder or until 10 minutes have passed. The monitor will automatically make a Predictive mode measurement unless you select Continuous mode. There are no limit alarms for the predictive temperature measurement. WARNING Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics, such as a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Long-term monitoring in Continuous mode (beyond five minutes) is not recommended.
Do not use the Predictive Temperature measurement on neonates. Axillary or orally measured predictive temperature values do not represent the core temperature. Care is needed when comparing measured values: only compare values measured at the same measurement site. Making a Temperature Measurement 1 2 Select the correct probe and holder for the measurement site: blue for oral or axillary measurements, red for rectal measurements. Insert the temperature probe in the probe holder into the unit and plug the cable connector into the socket at the back of the unit. The cable can be fixed at an appropriate length by pressing it into the channel on the underside of the unit. 1.The Predictive temperature measurement may not be available in all countries 169 12 Measuring Predictive Temperature Making a Temperature Measurement 3 Check that the correct temperature label for the measurement site is displayed: pTrect, pToral, or pTaxil, and for axillary measurements verify that the correct patient category is selected. 4 Remove the probe from the holder to turn the temperature measurement on. 5 Fit a new single-use probe cover onto the probe. 6 When the ready prompt appears, apply the probe to the patient. During the measurement a progress indicator is displayed on the screen. When the temperature value is available it appears on the screen with the time the measurement was made. pToral 7 Discard the single-use probe cover and return the probe to the holder. WARNING Never apply the probe to the patient when the probe is not connected to the unit.
Always use a single-use probe cover to limit patient cross-contamination.
Measurement errors or inaccurate readings may result when:
probe covers other than the specified probe covers are used (see Accessories section) the incorrect probe for the measurement site is used the patient temperature is below ambient temperature
When making rectal temperature measurements, insert the probe slowly and carefully to avoid tissue damage.
Use of the incorrect probe holder may result in patient cross-contamination.
Always ensure that the used probe cover is removed before attaching a new probe cover. CAUTION Biting the probe during an oral measurement may result in damage to the probe.
Do not take an axillary measurement through the patients clothing. Direct probe-cover-to-skin contact is required.
If a probe is dropped or damaged, have it checked out by qualified service personnel before further use. 170 Making a Temperature Measurement 12 Measuring Predictive Temperature

This may cause interference on the respiration or invasive pressure signals. Setting up the Pressure Measurement 1 2 3 Plug in the pressure cable. Prepare the flush solution. Flush the system to exhaust all air from the tubing. Ensure that the transducer and stopcocks are free of air bubbles. WARNING If air bubbles appear in the tubing system, flush the system with the infusion solution again. Air bubbles may lead to a wrong pressure reading. 4 Connect the pressure line to the patient catheter. 5 6 If you are using an infusion pressure cuff with the pressure line, attach the pressure cuff to the fluid to be infused. Inflate it according to your standard hospital procedure, then start the infusion. Position the transducer so that it is level with the heart, approximately at the level of the midaxillary line. WARNING If measuring intracranial pressure (ICP, IC1 or IC2) with a sitting patient, level the transducer with the top of the patients ear. Incorrect leveling may give incorrect values. Selecting a Pressure for Monitoring Tell the monitor which pressure you want to monitor by selecting its pressure label. The label is a unique identifier for each type of pressure. When you choose a label, the monitor uses that labels stored settings, for example color, wave scale and alarm settings. The label also determines which algorithm is used to process the pressure signal, so an incorrect label can lead to incorrect pressure values. In the Setup <Press> menu, select Label. 1 175 14 Monitoring Invasive Pressure Zeroing the Pressure Transducer 2 Select the appropriate label from the list.

Description Label BAP FAP IC1, IC2 P1, P2, P3, P4 Alternative non-specific pressure labels Brachial arterial pressure Femoral arterial pressure Alternative intracranial pressures Zeroing the Pressure Transducer To avoid inaccurate pressure readings, the monitor requires a valid zero. Zero the transducer in accordance with your hospital policy (at least once per day). You must perform a zero:
when you use a new transducer or tubing
every time you reconnect the transducer cable to the monitor
if you think the monitors pressure readings are not correct. Zeroing ICP (or IC1/IC2) Your hospital guidelines may require you to zero the ICP transducer less frequently than other transducers, due to the need for aseptic conditions. When you zero an ICP transducer, the zero values are automatically stored and you will not be prompted to repeat the zero procedure. WARNING If you select the label ICP (or IC1/IC2), the measurement device uses the most recently stored zero. Therefore, make sure you zeroed the transducer correctly in accordance with the transducer manufacturers instructions and your hospital policy. When you use a transducer that you cannot rezero after placement, ensure that you keep the measuring device with the patient so that you are certain you have the correct zero data for this patient. 176 Zeroing the Pressure Transducer 14 Monitoring Invasive Pressure Determining a Pressures Most Recent Zero The monitor displays the most recent zero on the status line. If this has timed-out after you have performed a zero, redisplay the information in the status line by entering the pressures setup menu. Zeroing a Pressure Measurement WARNING Invasive pressure alarms (and pulse alarms, if derived from invasive pressure) are temporarily suppressed until 30 seconds after the transducer finishes zeroing. 1 Turn off the stopcock to the patient. 2 Vent the transducer to atmospheric pressure, to compensate for the static and atmospheric pressure exerted on the transducer. In the setup menu for the pressure, select Zero <Press>. 3 4 When you see the message <Press> zero done at <date and time> on the status line, (for example, ABP zero done at 13 Mar 02 23.35) close the stopcock to atmospheric pressure, and open the stopcock to the patient. CAUTION When using high frequency ventilation, ensure that the tubing from the ventilator does not touch the arterial line, or connect with it indirectly, while zeroing the pressure. This could cause small pressure variations which can interfere with the zero procedure. Zeroing Two Pressures Simultaneously WARNING Before zeroing two pressures, make sure that both pressure transducers are vented to atmospheric pressure. If you have two pressures and have the Zero SmartKey configured you can zero both pressures simultaneously. Selecting the SmartKey calls up a list of active pressures. Select All Press to zero all pressures simultaneously. Troubleshooting the Zero The status line lists the probable cause of an unsuccessful zero:

The middle gridline is set at zero. 178 Optimizing the Waveform 14 Monitoring Invasive Pressure Optimizing the Waveform In the Setup <Press> menu, select Optimum Scale to let the monitor select the best minimum and maximum scales for the current wave. Using the Wave Cursor When the pressure wave is selected, you can display a cursor in the wave. It appears as a white horizontal line in the wave. Using the pop-up keys you can move the cursor up or down to the required position and store the corresponding value. The cursor value can be stored as a systolic, diastolic or mean pressure value and if the pressure wave is a PAP wave it can also be stored as a PAWP value. The stored value appears in the trend database as a manually entered value. To display and position the cursor 1 2 Select the pressure wave. Select Activate Cursor. 3 Use the pop-up arrow keys to position the cursor. Using the pop-up keys you can also change the scale or the speed for the wave, freeze the wave or start a printout or recording. Non-Physiological Artifact Suppression Some clinical procedures may affect blood pressure, for example, a flush procedure or a blood sample. Your monitor may be configured to suppress these non-physiological artifacts for a specified duration
(Artifact Suppression is configured to 30, 60, or 90 seconds). During artifact suppression, the monitor shows the INOP message <Pressure label> ARTIFACT, and a question mark is shown beside the pressure numerics.

Press that you are applying to the transducer, and repeat the calibration. Make sure that the transducer is connected and try again. Make sure there are no disturbances to the transducer, and repeat the calibration. No valid zero. Zero the transducer. Calculating Cerebral Perfusion The monitor can calculate the difference between mean arterial pressure and the intracranial pressure. The difference is labeled CPP. In the Main Setup menu, select Measurements. In the Setup CPP menu, select ABP, ART, Ao, BAP or FAP as the arterial pressure source. 1 2 The CPP value will not be available when the MP5 is connected to a host monitor. Calculating Pulse Pressure Variation Pulse Pressure Variation (PPV) is calculated from beat-to-beat arterial pressure values. Pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic and the diastolic pressure values for a single beat. Pulse pressure variation is defined as the maximal pressure less the minimum pressure divided by the average of these two pressures. The average variation in pulse pressure is calculated over periods of 32 seconds. WARNING This monitor can calculate PPV from beat-to-beat values of any arterial pulsatile pressure. The circumstances under which the calculation of a PPV value is clinically meaningful, appropriate and reliable must be determined by a physician. 182 Calculating Pulse Pressure Variation 14 Monitoring Invasive Pressure
The clinical value of the derived PPV information must be determined by a physician. According to recent scientific literature, the clinical relevance of PPV information is restricted to sedated patients receiving controlled mechanical ventilation and mainly free from cardiac arrhythmia.
PPV calculation may lead to inaccurate values in the following situations:
at respiration rates below 8 rpm during ventilation with tidal volumes lower than 8 ml/kg for patients with acute right ventricular dysfunction (cor pulmonale).
The PPV measurement has been validated only for adult patients To select an arterial pressure as PPV source:
In the Main Setup menu, select Measurements. In the Setup PPV menu, select ABP, ART, Ao, BAP, P or FAP as the arterial pressure source. 1 2 183 14 Monitoring Invasive Pressure Calculating Pulse Pressure Variation 184 15 15Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Use the CO2 measurement to monitor the patients respiratory status and to control patient ventilation. There are two methods for measuring carbon dioxide in the patients airway:
Mainstream measurement uses a CO2 sensor attached to an airway adapter directly inserted into the patients breathing system.
Sidestream measurement takes a sample of the respiratory gas with a constant sample flow from the patients airway and analyzes it with a remote CO2 sensor. Two variations of this method, with different sensors, are available as options on the monitor. They are referred to here as sidestream CO2 and Microstream CO2. In both cases, the measurement principle is infrared transmission, where the intensity of infrared light passing the respiratory gas is measured with a photo detector. As some of the infrared light is absorbed by the CO2 molecules, the amount of light passing the gas probe depends on the concentration of the measured CO2. When using a wet ventilator circuit, monitor mainstream CO2 if available, in preference to sidestream CO2. The partial pressure is calculated from the gas concentration by multiplying the concentration value with the ambient pressure. The measurement provides:
a CO2 waveform.
an end tidal CO2 (etCO2) value: the CO2 value measured at the end of the expiration phase.
an inspired minimum CO2 (imCO2): the smallest value measured during inspiration.
an airway respiration rate (awRR): the number of breaths per minute, calculated from the CO2 Depending on the Max Hold setting configured for your monitor, the etCO2 numeric shows either the highest CO2 value measured within the configured time period (Max Hold set to 10 sec or 20 sec) or the etCO2 numeric shows breath-to-breath value (Max Hold set to Off). waveform. WARNING Correlation: The etCO2 readings do not always correlate closely with paCO2, especially in neonatal patients and patients with pulmonary disease, pulmonary embolism or inappropriate ventilation. Pharmaceuticals in aerosols: Do not measure CO2 in the presence of pharmaceuticals in aerosols. 185 15 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Using the CO2 Measurement Explosion Hazard: Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases, such as a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide. Use of the devices in such an environment may present an explosion hazard. Failure of operation: if the measurement or a sensor fails to respond as described, do not use it until the situation has been corrected by qualified personnel. Low etCO2 values: Leakages in the breathing system or sampling system may cause the displayed etCO2 values to be significantly too low. Always connect all components securely and check for leaks according to standard clinical procedures. Displacement of the nasal or combined nasal oral cannulas can cause lower than actual etCO2 readings. Even with combined nasal oral cannulas, the etCO2 readings may be slightly lower than actual in patients breathing through the mouth only. Using the CO2 Measurement The MP5 monitor measures partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patients expired gas using the mainstream method or the sidestream method. The mainstream CO2 measurement can be used, with appropriate accessories, with intubated adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. The sidestream CO2 measurement can be used, with appropriate accessories, with intubated and nonintubated adult, pediatric, infant and neonatal patients. With intubated patients, a sample of the respiratory gas is drawn from the patients breathing circuit through an airway adapter and a gas sampling tube. With non-intubated patients, the gas sample is drawn through a nasal or oral-nasal cannula. WARNING Altitude Setting: The monitor is not equipped with automatic barometric pressure compensation. Before the CO2 measurement is used for the first time, the altitude must be set to the correct value. An incorrect altitude setting will result in incorrect CO2 readings. The CO2 readings will typically deviate 5% for every 1000m difference. Electrical Shock Hazard: Do not open the monitor. Contact with exposed electrical components may cause electrical shock. Always turn off and remove power before cleaning the sensor or monitor. Do not use a damaged sensor or one with exposed electrical contacts. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. CAUTION Use the CO2 measurement with Philips approved accessories only. Refer to the instructions for use provided with the accessory. Preparing to Measure Mainstream CO2 You must perform a zero as described in this procedure each time you use a new airway adapter. 1 Attach the sensor connector to the CO2 connector on the monitor. 2 Wait 2 minutes, allowing the sensor to reach its operating temperature and a stable thermal condition. 186 Using the CO2 Measurement 15 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide 3 Choose the appropriate airway adapter and connect it to the sensor head. The airway adapter clicks into place when seated correctly. 4 To zero the sensor:
expose the sensor to room air and keep it away from all sources of CO2 including the ventilator, the patients breath and your own. in the setup menu for the CO2, select Start Zero Cal. When you see the message Zero done at <date and time> on the status line, the zero calibration is finished and you can begin monitoring. 5 Install the airway adapter at the proximal end of the circuit between the elbow and the ventilator Y-section. WARNING To prevent stress on the endotrachial tube, support the sensor and airway adapter. Position sensor cables and tubing carefully to avoid entanglement or potential strangulation. Do not apply excessive tension to any cable. Replace the airway adapter, if excessive moisture or secretions are observed in the tubing or if the CO2 waveform changes unexpectedly without a change in patient status. To avoid infection, use only sterilized, disinfected or disposable airway adapters. Inspect the airway adapters prior to use. Do not use if airway adapter appears to have been damaged or broken. Observe airway adapter color coding for patient population. Preparing to Measure Sidestream CO2 1 Plug the sensor cable into the monitors CO2 input connector. Allow the sensor two minutes warm up time 2 Connect the cannula, airway adapter, or sample line as appropriate, to the sensor. It will click into place when seated correctly. 3 To zero the sensor:
including the ventilator, the patients breath and your own. expose the sensor to room air and keep it away from all sources of CO2 In the setup menu for the CO2, select Start Zero Cal. 187 15 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Using the CO2 Measurement When you see the message Zero done at <date and time> on the status line, the zero calibration is finished and you can begin monitoring. 4 For intubated patients requiring an airway adapter: Install the airway adapter at the proximal end of the circuit between the elbow and the ventilator Y-
section. For intubated patients with an integrated airway adapter in the breathing circuit.: Connect the male luer connector on the straight sample line to the female port on the airway adapter. For non-intubated patients: Place the nasal cannula onto the patient. For patients prone to mouth breathing use an oral-nasal cannula. For nasal or oral-nasal cannulas with oxygen delivery, place the cannula on the patient as shown then attach the oxygen supply tubing to the oxygen delivery system and set the prescribed oxygen flow. WARNING Always connect the airway adapter to the sensor before inserting the airway adapter into the breathing circuit. In reverse, always remove the airway adapter from the breathing circuit before removing the sensor. CAUTION Always disconnect the cannula, airway adapter or sample line from the sensor when not in use. Using the Sidestream Sensor Holder The holder delivered with the sensor can be used to clamp the sensor onto an IV pole or a shelf. 1 Push the sensor into the holder until it clicks into position. 2 Clamp the holder onto an IV pole, a shelf or another appropriate location. To remove the sensor from the holder, release the clip and pull the sensor out of the holder. clip 188 Measuring Microstream CO2 15 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Removing Exhaust Gases from the System WARNING Anesthetics: When using the sidestream CO2 measurement on patients who are receiving or have recently received anesthetics, connect the outlet to a scavenging system, to avoid exposing medical staff to anesthetics. Use an exhaust tube to remove the sample gas to a scavenging system. Attach it to the sidestream sensor at the outlet connector. Measuring Microstream CO2 The Microstream CO2 method measures the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patients expired gas using Microstream technology. The measurement is equipped with an automatic barometric pressure compensation. Preparing to Measure Microstream CO2 Use appropriate accessories for:
the patient type (adult, pediatric or neonatal),
the ventilation situation (including humidification)
the duration - short term use, up to 24 hours (typically OR), or long term use (typically ICU). All accessories are for single patient use only. Using Microstream Accessories The Microstream measurement can be operated with the special Microstream accessories only. Refer to the instructions for use provided with the accessory. For intubated patient with non-humidified ventilation, you can use a Microstream FilterLine set. For humidified ventilation, use a FilterLine H Set. For non-intubated patients, the gas sample is taken through a Nasal FilterLine, or a Smart CapnoLine
(which is a combined oral-nasal FilterLine). In parallel to the measurement of the CO2, oxygen (O2) may be delivered to the patient to support gas exchange. This is done by using an O2/CO2 FilterLine, or a Smart CapnoLine O2 (a combined oral-nasal O2/CO2 FilterLine). Using the FilterLine and Airway Adapter 1 Attach the female Luer connector to the CO2 inlet connector on the extension by pushing the socket cover down and screwing the connector into place. 2 Check that the FilterLine is not kinked. 3 Change the FilterLine if a CO2 OCCLUSION INOP appears on the monitor or if the readings become extremely erratic. Disconnect the FilterLine during suctioning and nebulizing therapies. Check the table in the Microstream CO2 Accessories section of the Accessories chapter for typical usage times for the different Microstream accessories. 189 15 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Setting up all CO2 Measurements CO2 values for non-intubated patients using Microstream accessories will always tend to be lower than for intubated patients. If values appear extremely low, check whether the patient is breathing through the mouth or whether one nostril is blocked Removing Exhaust Gases from the System WARNING Anesthetics: When using the 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. Use an exhaust tube to remove the sample gas to a scavenging system. Attach it to the MMS Extension at the outlet connector. Suppressing Zero Calibration SmartKey, if configured. To prevent an automatic zero calibration from being started in the next five minutes, in the Setup CO2 menu, select No Zero For 5Min, or select the Suppress CO2 Zero Selecting No Zero For 5Min or selecting the Suppress CO2 Zero SmartKey again before the timer has timed out resets the timer to five minutes, unless an AutoZero became due during the previous suppression. Setting up all CO2 Measurements These tasks are common to all CO2 measurements except where otherwise noted. Adjusting the CO2 Wave Scale In the CO2 Wave menu or the Setup CO2 menu, select Scale. 1 2 Choose a suitable scale range from the pop-up list. Setting up CO2 Corrections Temperature, water vapor in the patients breath, barometric pressure, and the proportions of O2, N2O and Helium in the mixture all influence CO2 absorption. If values seem inaccurately high or low, check that the monitor is using the appropriate corrections. If one of the corrections does not appear in your Setup CO2 menu, your CO2 measurement does not require that correction. Correction Altitude O2 Altitude is set during installation. The monitor automatically applies an appropriate correction. In the Setup CO2 menu, select Oxy. Corr and select a value between 0% and 100%, the default value is 20%. 190 Setting up all CO2 Measurements 15 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Correction Humidity Gas Agent At installation, the monitor is configured to automatically apply either Body Temperature Pressure Saturated (BTPS) or Ambient Temperature Pressure Dry (ATPD). To see which, go to the Setup CO2 menu, and scroll down to look at HumidtyCorr. In the Setup CO2 menu, select Gas Corr. and select Helium, N2O or turn off. If Helium or N2O is present in the ventilation gas mixture, you must make the appropriate selection. In the Setup CO2 menu, select Agent Corr. and select the concentration of the anesthetic agent (between 0.0% and 20.0%). If an anesthetic agent is present in the ventilation gas mixture, you must select the appropriate concentration. Suppressing Sampling (not Mainstream CO2) available. To temporarily stop sampling, in the Setup CO2 menu, select Pump 15Min Off or use the CO2 Pump Off SmartKey if Selecting Pump 15Min Off again before fifteen minutes have passed resets the timer to fifteen minutes.

This is called pairing and when a telemetry device and a monitor are paired, the measurement data from the telemetry device will be displayed on the monitor screen. A telemetry device can be:
any Philips telemetry device (only for indirect connections, see below).
a TRx+/TRx+ Intellivue Telemetry system transceiver.
an MP5 monitor with a telemetry interface, declared as a telemetry device and with a telemetry equipment label. How Can You Combine Devices?
With an indirect connection, using standard telemetry transmission - the data are sent to the monitor via the Information Center and arrive with a delay of several seconds at the monitor.
With a direct connection to the monitor, via a short range radio (SRR) link or with a direct cable connection - the data arrive with a minimal delay on the monitor screen. Indirect Connection - Manual Pairing The telemetry device can be paired with the monitor at the Information Center or at the monitor. For detailed information regarding pairing and configuration at the Information Center, see the Information Center Instructions for Use. To pair the monitor with a telemetry device at the monitor:
1 Select Main Setup then Measurements Select Telemetry 2 The Setup Telemetry menu will appear with only one entry Paired Equipment. 3 Enter here the equipment label of the telemetry device to be paired. Pairing at the monitor is only possible when the monitor already has a connection to the Information Center and the Information Center software version allows pairing at the monitor. 195 16 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient How Can You Combine Devices?

For MP5 only: If you need realtime data, for example for defibrillation, always use the monitor ECG instead of telemetry. As long as the ECG is being measured with the telemetry device there will be no ECG signal available at the ECG analog output or ECG Sync Pulse output. Direct Connection - Automatic Pairing The following direct connections are possible:
a TRx+4841A Intellivue Telemetry system transceiver connected via short range radio (SRR) link to an MP5 with SRR capability.
a TRx+4841A Intellivue Telemetry system transceiver connected to an MP5 directly with a cable.
an MP5, declared as a telemetry device, and connected with an MSL cable to a monitor (MP20-90). If a telemetry device is connected to a monitor directly with a cable, or if it is assigned to a monitor via a direct short range radio link, the monitor and the telemetry device are automatically paired at the Information Center (if configured). The measured data from the telemetry device ECG and, if available, SpO2T will appear on the monitor screen and will be sent through the monitor to the Information Center. The ECG waves and numerics appear in place of the monitors own ECG, and SpO2T is displayed as an additional measurement. When ECG is measured with the telemetry device there will be no Respiration measurement derived. When you disconnect the cable, the devices remain paired until you Unpair them at the monitor or Information Center. When the devices are paired but disconnected, the telemetry data is displayed on the screen as described in Telemetry Data Window on page 196. 196 How Can You Combine Devices?
16 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient WARNING When ECG is being measured with a telemetry device directly connected to the monitor, there will be no ECG signal available at the ECG analog output or ECG Sync Pulse output and no synchronization marks on the ECG wave. A No ECG Out message will appear in the ECG wave channel.
When a telemetry device is connected to the monitor, arrhythmia relearning is initiated, and again when the telemetry device is disconnected.
Controls on the Telemetry Device (e.g. nurse call) will be inactive when the device is directly connected to the monitor except in the case when the monitor has no network connection and data are transferred via the telemetry device. See the "Enhancing Telemetry Monitoring with the Monitor" chapter. Assigning a Telemetry Transceiver with an SRR Adapter to a Monitor Monitors which have this capability have a short range radio symbol A telemetry device with a short range radio adapter can be assigned to a monitor directly. To assign a telemetry device to a monitor:
on the model label. 1 2 3 Press the Check button on the telemetry device. The measurement selection key on the monitor will change to show the assign telemetry icon Select the assign telemetry icon. In the Assign Telemetry Device menu, select the correct equipment label for the telemetry device. 4 Check that the assignment is successful and that transmission has begun:
A Tele Device assigned message appears on the monitor
a tone sounds at the telemetry device and the Laeds Off indicators light
the ECG wave appears on the monitor To confirm that the correct telemetry device has been assigned, open the ECG Setup menu. The title of the menu contains the equipment label of the telemetry device; check that this is the correct label. If a monitor is already paired to another device, you cannot assign a telemetry device to that monitor. If the telemetry device goes out-of-range or loses the short range radio connection, it will switch over to standard telemetry transmission to the Information Center. In this case, the telemetry data is displayed in the Telemetry Data Window as described above. If a monitor is manually paired with a telemetry device with a short range radio adapter, the short range radio assignment will be automatically made. If a telemetry device disappears from the list in the Assign Telemetry Device menu, press the Check button on the telemetry device again. If the monitor is not configured to be used with a telemetry device, the assign telemetry icon will appear crossed out If the devices are unpaired, the short range radio connection will be ended. 197 16 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient How Can You Combine Devices?
WARNING Short range radio connections are subject to interruption due to interference from other radio sources in the vicinity, including microwaves, bluetooth devices and DECT phones. Outside the operating frequency band and 5% above and below, i.e. the exclusion band according IEC 60601-1-2, section 36.202.3a)4), the short range radio connection is immune up to 3V/m in the frequency range from 80 MHz to 2.0 GHz and up to 1V/m in the frequency range from 2.0 to 2.3 GHz. Depending on the strength and duration of the interference, the interruption may occur for an extended period. A loss of connection, due to moving out-of-range, interference, or for other reasons, is indicated with a TELE DISCONNECT INOP. Correct channel configuration is important, refer to the Configuration Guide for details. If a TELE DISCONNECT INOP occurs when the telemetry device goes out-of-range, the INOP will disappear (without being silenced) as soon as the ECG signal from the telemetry device is available at the Information Center via standard telemetry transmission. SpO2T Manual Mode When a telemetry device with a short range radio connection supplies SpO2T to the monitor, the monitor will have a manual measurement mode available. This allows SpO2 measurements to be made on request and not continuously, helping to save battery power. To ensure there is no gap in SpO2 measurements when moving from standard telemetry transmission to short range radio transmission, the measurement mode will always be set to continuous in this situation unless manual mode is set in both the telemetry device and the monitor. Unassigning a Telemetry Transceiver with SRR Adapter at the Monitor If a monitor and a telemetry device are paired, the assignment and the short range radio connection will be ended when the devices are unpaired (see Unpairing the Monitor and Telemetry Device on page 199). If the monitor does not have a connection to an Information Center, you must manually end the assignment and the short range radio connection. 1 2 3 Select the Measurement Selection key. In the Measurement Selection window, select the Tele pop-up key. In the Tele device window select Unassign Tele. Pairing an MP5 With a Telemetry Interface to a Host Monitor An MP5 using an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface will be automatically paired when it is connected to a host monitor and it has been declared as a telemetry device at the Information Center
(telemetry equipment label is configured). When the MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor it will remain paired and the measurement data will appear at the host monitor in the Telemetry Data window. After the MP5 is disconnected from the monitor it may take over 15 seconds until its data is displayed at the Information Center. NOTE Pairing of a host monitor and a telemetry device, with all the related functionality, is only possible when the host monitor is using a wired LAN connection or a wireless LAN interface (but not using the IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface). The MP5 can also be paired to a host monitor without a direct connection, as described in Indirect Connection - Manual Pairing on page 195. 198 Functions Available When the Telemetry Data Window is Displayed 16 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient Refer also to Use Models With Telemetry on page 202 for further related use modes. Unpairing the Monitor and Telemetry Device If the patient will no longer be monitored with the telemetry device, or only with the telemetry device and no longer with the monitor, you need to end the device pairing.

Setting Up Measurements The Setup ECG and Setup SpO2T pop-up keys give you access to the measurement setup menus. The Measmt. Select. pop-up key takes you directly to the Measurement Selection window where all connected measurement devices are shown. General Telemetry-related Functions The following functions are valid for directly and indirectly connected telemetry devices. ECG Source Tracking at the Information Center The Information Center continuously checks whether a valid ECG signal is coming from the monitor or the telemetry device. If you unplug the ECG patient cable from the monitor and plug it into the telemetry device, the Information Center will automatically switch to monitoring the ECG from the telemetry device. At the monitor, its own ECG measurement will be deactivated the ECG Setup menu will no longer be accessible. When you unplug the patient cable from the telemetry device and plug it back into the monitor again, the Information Center will switch back to monitoring the ECG from the monitor. The ECG measurement will be activated again at the monitor. Note that in this case, as the screen switches back to the monitors own measurements, the SpO2T measurement (if present) will no longer be displayed. In the same way the source is tracked when a telemetry device is directly connected to a monitor, then disconnected and vice versa. In case of ambiguity, a yellow INOP message !!CHECK ECG SOURCE indicates that more than one valid ECG source is active. Synchronized Settings If ECG is measured at the monitor, and then the patient is connected to a telemetry device for monitoring, the Information Center will use the monitor settings for the telemetry device. In general, the following settings will be synchronized:
Heart Rate ECG Arrhythmia HR/Pulse Alarm On/Off, Heart Rate High/Low Limit, Primary Lead, Secondary Lead, Va Lead1, Vb Lead1, Lead Placement Analysis Mode, Asystole Threshold, Pause Threshold, VTach HR, VTach Run, PVCs/min, Vent. Rhythm, SVT HR, SVT Run, PVCs/

WARNING Not all settings are synchronized; after changing the ECG source, always check that the settings are appropriate.
Va and Vb leads are reset to default (V2, V5) if the configured Va or Vb lead for the telemetry device is not one of V1 through V6 If later the patient is disconnected from the telemetry device, and reconnected to the monitor again, any changes in the settings made in the meantime will be passed on to the monitor. In this way, settings continuity is preserved when the ECG source changes. Settings synchronization can only take place when there is no patient information mismatch between the monitor and the Information Center. If a Check ECG Settings or CHECK PAIRING INOP appears always check that the ECG settings, especially the paced setting, are appropriate for your patient. Use Models With Telemetry The standard use model combining a monitor and a telemetry device involves pairing the two devices so that the data measured by the telemetry device appears on the monitor screen - and at the Information Center in the same patient sector as the monitor data. The following variations are possible:
1 MP5 monitor is paired with a telemetry transceiver - direct or indirect connection telemetry data appear on the monitor the MP5 cannot be connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode) 2 MP5 is declared as a telemetry device and paired with one of the larger monitors (MP20-90) -
direct or indirect connection MP5 measurement data appear on the monitor it is paired with a telemetry transceiver cannot be used with the MP5 3 A telemetry transceiver with a short range radio adapter is assigned to an MP5 which is connected
(Companion Mode) to a larger host monitor (MP20 - MP90) - direct connection. telemetry data appear on the host monitor telemetry transceiver is paired with the host monitor but is assigned to the MP5 the MP5 must have no equipment label The different variations require different configuration settings; refer to the Configuration Guide for details. 202 Use Models With Telemetry 16 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient NOTE If a telemetry transceiver is directly connected to an X2 or MP5 that is connected (via Companion Mode) to a host monitor with revision F software, a TELE CONFIG UNSUPP INOP will appear as this combination is not supported. 203 16 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient Use Models With Telemetry 204 17 17Enhancing Telemetry Monitoring with the Monitor You can use an MP5T or MP5 monitor without a connection to an Information Center to view measurement data from a telemetry transceiver at the bedside. You can also use the monitor to make additional measurements and send this measurement data to the Information Center via the telemetry transceiver. The monitor can so be used as a mobile viewer and measurement device, and is set up to simplify the assign/unassign procedures when used with short range radio. Monitor and Telemetry Transceiver Requirements The monitor and the telemetry transceiver need a direct connection, either with a cable or with a short range radio link. Monitors which can be used for cable connection have a socket labeled
. Not all revisions of the telemetry transceiver can be used directly with the monitor, a message Sending patient data to Telemetry Device... will appear after connection when the telemetry device supports this function. Due to data availability restrictions, in particular that no alarm data are available, it is not recommended to use a monitor connected to a host monitor (via Companion Mode) to collect data in this way. If such a monitor is used a CENTRAL: TELE ONLY INOP will be displayed. Data Sent to the Information Center The data sent to the Information Center includes numerics from NBP, SpO2, Pulse from SpO2 and predictive temperature. INOPs from these measurements, battery INOPs and a general INOP generated by alarms from any other measurement (MORE BED ALARMS) will also be transmitted. NOTE The monitor must be configured appropriately to support direct connection to a telemetry transceiver;
refer to the Configuration Guide for details. Changing Assignment to a New Telemetry Transceiver 1 Connect the telemetry transceiver to the monitor (if a cable connection is used), or Assign the telemetry transceiver to the monitor; see Assigning a Telemetry Transceiver with an SRR Adapter to a Monitor on page 197. 2 Make the required measurements; the data will be automatically sent to the Information Center via the telemetry transceiver. 3 Disconnect the telemetry transceiver from the monitor (if a cable connection is used). When a short range radio connection is used, it is not necessary to unassign the telemetry transceiver. This will happen automatically when the next telemetry transceiver is assigned. The 205 17 Enhancing Telemetry Monitoring with the Monitor patient is also discharged (if configured), ensuring that the measurement data is erased before data from the next patient appears. Always assign the telemetry transceiver before you start making measurements. NOTE When a direct connection is used: your monitor may be configured to automatically discharge the patient either when the telemetry transceiver is disconnected or when another telemetry transceiver is connected. Be aware that in the second case you must always connect the new telemetry transceiver before you start making measurements, otherwise the measured data will be erased by the discharge when you connect the new telemetry transceiver. 206 18 18Trends Trends are patient data collected over time and displayed in graphic, tabular or histogram form to give you a picture of how your patients condition is developing. Trend information is stored in the trends database for continuously-monitored measurements, such as ECG, as well as for aperiodically-
measured parameters, such as Cardiac Output. Viewing Trends Trend information can be viewed embedded as a screen element on specially-designed Screens, or you can open a trend window over the current Screen. To view trends embedded as a screen element, select the Screen name in the monitor info line to enter the Change Screen menu, then select a Screen designed to show an embedded trend window. To open the tabular trends window over the current Screen, select the Vitals Trend SmartKey. Vitals Trend Graph Trend To open the graphic trends window over the current Screen, select the Graph Trend SmartKey. To open the graphic trends window over the current screen, select Main Setup > Trends > Graph Trend. To open the histogram trend window over the current screen, select Main Setup > Trends > Histogram, or select the Histogram SmartKey. The trend windows open displaying the most recent data and are updated as new data is stored. A timescale along the bottom of the screen shows you where you are in the trends database. The preview column on the right-hand side shows the latest available measurement value. The preview column is updated every five minutes or whenever an NBP or other aperiodic measurement is completed. A question mark (?) beside a value means that the data may not be reliable, due perhaps to an INOP condition in the measurement. Your monitor screen may look slightly different to the examples shown in this chapter. Histo-

The values can be configured to display in the same colors as the waves and numerics on the realtime display. Any values available for display before the next scheduled update are shown in the right hand column, with a timestamp in brackets. If more than one value is available for an aperiodic trend for a certain trend period, all measured values are stored in the database and the value closest to the timestamp is shown in the Vital Signs display marked with an arrow. 209 18 Trends Setting Up Trends Viewing Histogram Trends Histogram: RR (4hrs @ 1min) rpm The title line of the window shows the label of the trended measurement and the resolution of the data;
in the RR histogram above, 1 minute trend samples. The horizontal axis shows the range and unit of the displayed measurement. The vertical axis shows the percentage of time. The columns in the foreground show how much of the time the measured values fell into this range on the scale. For example, in the histogram above, the RR value was between 15 and 20 rpm during 70%
of the last four hours. The arrow mark over that column shows that the currently measured value is also in this range. These columns are displayed in the same color as the measurement data. The columns in the background show the cumulative percentage value: each of the foreground columns is added to the sum of those columns to the left of it. A question mark is displayed if less than two-thirds of the data are valid samples. The pop-up keys in the window can be used to change the measurement, the time period and the range. You can also print out a histogram report. The SpO2 histograms can be trend histograms or realtime histograms with 1 second samples. For SpO2 realtime histograms, the range cannot be changed. Setting Up Trends Trends are set up in Configuration Mode. You can make temporary changes to trends settings such as trend groups, priorities, or scales in Monitoring Mode. The general settings for all Trends are under Main Setup -> Trends. Settings for a single segment in graphical trends or for the corresponding trend group can be made more easily in that segment menu. Making Segment Settings The Graphical Trends window is divided into measurement segments, each of which has its own settings. 210 Setting Up Trends 18 Trends To enter the segment menu, select the left hand column of the segment, where the measurement label is displayed. Expanded View To expand the segment to fill the Graphical Trends window, in the Segment menu, select Expand to have that segment enlarged to fill the window.

Sort Down pop-up keys. 1 2 Trend Interval The trend interval defines the resolution of trend data shown on the Screen. High-resolution data is especially suited for neonatal applications, where the clinical situation may change very quickly. In adult monitoring, where the patients status typically changes more gradually, a longer trend may be more informative. To set the trend resolution, in the Vital Signs or Graphical Trends window, Select the Select Interval pop-up key and then select the required interval from the list. Trend Priority The monitor stores trend information for all monitored measurements, if configured to do so. If your configuration restricts the number of measurements trended, you must choose which measurements will be included. A priority list is used to select the trended measurements. To see the measurement priority list for trending, In the Main Setup menu, select Trends. Select Trend Priority. 1 2 To add measurements to the priority list, Select the pop-up key Add and choose from the pop-up list of available measurements. 1 2 Use the Sort Up and Sort Down pop-up keys to change the priority order. Trend Parameter Scales Parameter scales define how the trend waveform will appear on the screen and in trend reports. Separate scales can be set for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patient trends.

Documenting Trends To print a Vital Signs or Graphical Trends report, 213 18 Trends Trends Databases in the Vital Signs or Graph Trends window, select the pop-up key Print to print a report for the trend group currently on the monitor screen. Reports include the most recent information in the trends database and extend backwards in time according to the selected trend interval and your monitors configuration. Trends reports can be printed on central or local printers. To make a Vital Signs recording, in the Vital Signs window, select the Print/Record pop-up key, then select the Record Vitals pop-up key. Vital Signs recordings print the trend data for the current group and trend period shown in the Vital Signs window. Trends Databases The trend databases store information for up to 16 measurements for up to 48 hours. The values in the trends database are stored as measured by the monitor, they are not averaged values. The trend resolution defines how often a value is stored. In general, if more than one value is available for storage in the trends database, the most recent value is used. Some values in the trends are marked with arrows. This indicates that for this time period, more values were available and the most recent one is shown. Example database configuration In this example, we see that the monitor stores the most recent data at the highest resolution, older data are stored at a lower resolution. 4 hours @ 12 second resolution means that the monitor stores trend data every 12 seconds, for the most recent four hours.
- 48 hours
- 24 hours
- 4 hours now time 4 hours @12 second resolution 24 hours @ 1 minute resolution 48 hours @ 5 minute resolution Aperiodic Trends Database Aperiodic trends do not count toward the maximum number of trends allowed by the trend configuration. Trend data for aperiodic measurements is stored in a separate database and timestamped with the measurement time. Trending Multiple-Value Measurements Some measurements generate multiple values, for example invasive pressure measurements can provide systolic, diastolic, and mean values. These values are trended as separate measurements. 214 Screen Trends Screen Trends 18 Trends Trends configured to display permanently on special monitor Screens are called screen trends. The selection and number of measurement waves in the Screen Trend segment depends on your monitor configuration. Screen trends are color-coded to match the measurement wave and numerics, and they can be viewed in graphical, tabular, histogram or horizon format. If you do not see screen trends on the monitor Screen, select a different Screen, one that is configured to show screen trends. Screen trends are only available on specially designed Screens. Screen Trend information is taken from the Trends database. If you do not see a Screen Trend for a particular measurement on the Screen, check the trend priority list to ensure that this measurement is being trended.

Changing the Screen Trend View To switch between tabular, graphic, histogram and horizon views, select the screen trend then select Change View and select the required view. Tabular View Aperiodic measurements such as NBP, can be viewed as a screen trend in tabular form. The measured values and their timestamps are shown, with the measurement label. NBP mmHg 15:15 15:30 15:45 16:00 16:15 120/80(95) 120/80(95) 120/80(95) 120/80(95) 120/80(95) 16:30 16:45 17:00 17:15 17:30 120/80(95) 120/80(95) 120/80(95) 120/80(95) 120/80(95) 216 Screen Trends 18 Trends The trend time for tabular screen trends depends on the space available on the Screen. Up to 30 measurements or 12 hours information can be shown. Histogram View The histogram view presents a combination of graphical trend and histogram. The histogram is on the right hand side in a horizontal presentation with vertical gridlines representing 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. Each column shows the percentage of time that the measurement values were in a specific range. This range is represented by the columns position in the graphical trend gridlines. The arrow mark next to a column shows that the currently measured value is in the range covered by that column. If less than two-thirds of the samples are valid, the histogram will be replaced by a question mark. Horizon View The horizon view presents trend information superimposed over a defined baseline or base range. This helps you visualize changes in your patients condition since the baseline was set. The horizon view is made up of:
a horizon, drawn in white, as a reference 1 2 3 point or baseline to help you visualize changes in your patients condition. The horizon can be set to represent your patients current condition, or a target condition and can be a single value or a range.
a graphical trend, displaying patient data for the set TrendTime (1).
a trend indicator arrow, indicating how the patient trend has developed in the set time period
(10 minutes, 5 minutes or 2 minutes) (2).
a deviation bar, showing how the currently measured value deviates from the set horizon (3). The height of the deviation bar is an indication of the extent of the change in your patients condition relative to the (horizon) baseline. Your monitor may not be configured to show all elements of the screen trend horizon view. Setting the Horizon The horizon is the reference value to which deviations in the measurements are compared. 1 To set the horizon, select the horizon trend 2 Select Set High Horizon to select the upper horizon value. If the high and low horizon values are Set Low Horizon to select the lower horizon value. the same, the horizon is a baseline - if the values are different the horizon is a range. 217 18 Trends Screen Trends value Auto Horizon to set the horizon for the selected horizon trend to the currently-measured Auto All to reset the horizon for all horizon screen trends to the currently-measured values Set Horizon to set the horizon to a specific value from a pop-up list. Setting the Horizon Trend Scale The horizon trend scale is defined with respect to the horizon. If your horizon is set to 100 and you select 20 as the horizon scale delta, the upper limit of the horizon scale will be 120 and lower limit 80. To set the horizon trend scale delta, 1 2 Select the horizon trend. Select Set Scale Delta and select a value to define the distance between the horizon and the upper and lower scale limits. Be aware that changing the horizon trend scale can change the angle of the trend indicator, without the patients condition having changed. If a measurement exceeds the outer limits of the scale, the wave will be clipped and you must either reset the horizon or the horizon trend scale to display the values outside the scale limits. Setting the Time Period for the Trend Indicator Arrow The time period for which the trend indicator arrow can be set in the Trends window. Select Main Setup > Trends Select HorizonArrowTime. Select 10, 5 or 2 minutes. 1 2 3 218 19 19High Resolution Trend Waves High resolution (hi-res) trend waves provide information for fast-changing parameters at a glance. They can help you to recognize trend patterns and to find interrelationships between measurements, by comparing changes in your patients condition across different hi-res trend waves. The hi-res waves are drawn at a speed of 3 cm/minute. Hi-res trend waves use the wave scale as their display scale. Changing the wave scale changes the hi-res trend wave scale. OxyCRG OxyCRG is a combination of three hi-res trend waves, btbHR, SpO2, and Resp, mainly used in neonatal monitoring. Printing Hi-Res Trend Wave Reports To print hi-res trend waves on reports, you can choose to print either
all VisibleWaves - prints all waves and hi-res trend waves currently displayed
OxyCRG Waves - prints hi-res trend waves for btbHR, SpO2, and Resp. For each hi-res trend wave, a maximum of six minutes of measurement data will be printed. See the section on Reports for more information on setting up reports. 219 19 High Resolution Trend Waves Hi-Res Trend Wave Recordings Hi-Res Trend Wave Recordings The selection of waves in hi-res trend wave recordings and the recording speed are defined by the pre-
configured HiResTrd recording template. See the section on Recordings for more information. To start a hi-res trend waves recording, select the Recordings SmartKey, if configured, or select Main Setup -> Recordings select the HiRes Recording pop-up key. 1 2 220 20 20Event Surveillance Events are electronic records of episodes in your patients condition. You can trigger them manually, or set them to trigger automatically during pre-defined clinical situations. The information the monitor stores for each event episode includes:
waveforms for up to three measurements, ECG, SpO2 and Respiration
numeric vital signs for all the measurements monitored
any alarm conditions active when the event episode was triggered You can navigate through the event database to view events retrospectively, and you can document events on a recording or report marked with the patient name, bed label, and the data and time. When an MP5 is connected to a host monitor, event surveillance will be disabled. No new events will be detected and no existing events will be deleted. There is no data exchange between the host monitor and the MP5 for event surveillance. When the MP5 is disconnected from the host monitor event surveillance will resume and new events will be detected. Event Episodes When an event occurs, information for a predefined duration is stored. This is the event episode. It includes information from a defined period before the trigger, called the event pre-time. The episode time after the event is called the event post-time. If a further event occurs during the event post-time it changes a single event to a combined event (combi-event). Manually-triggered event episodes document patient information from the time leading up to the event trigger; they do not have a post-time.

The monitor asks you to confirm this deletion. You cannot retrieve deleted events. access the printing and recording pop-up keys to document events. Event Triggers You can trigger event capture manually, for example, if you want to record a patients condition before a procedure. You can also set events to trigger automatically, when the patients values cross a predefined threshold value, or when a particular measurement or procedure is carried out. The trigger condition for event groups is set in the monitors Configuration Mode. If you use alarm limits as event triggers, the event capture is triggered automatically when your patients values violate set alarm limits, or when a specified alarm condition, such as apnea, occurs. No events of this kind are triggered if alarms are switched off. Changing alarm limits changes the event trigger definitions. The asterisk symbols beside the trigger tell you about the alarm triggers:
*** indicates a high priority (red) alarm
** indicates a lower priority (yellow) alarm. Triggers without asterisk symbols are user-defined triggers. 222 Event Triggers 20 Event Surveillance If you set user-defined threshold triggers, you can define event triggers that are independent of alarm limits. You must set a threshold value and a threshold time for the trigger. If you set the trigger threshold time to 12 seconds, the monitor triggers an event if the threshold is violated for more than 12 seconds. If you set user-defined deviation triggers, you can define event triggers that are independent of specific limits and based instead on deviations from the current values. You must set a deviation and a period of time in which the deviation occurs. There are three types of deviation available: ANY Deviation, UP Deviation where only changes in a positive direction are detected and DOWN Deviation where only changes in a negative direction are detected. The deviation can be defined either in relative terms as a percentage, for example 10%, or as an absolute value, such as 10 bpm. Event Retriggering If a condition that triggered an event persists and the values remain beyond the trigger threshold, a new event will not be triggered. For a new event to be triggered by the same condition, the measured values for at least one of the triggers must cross back into the normal range and then recross the trigger threshold. Setting Triggers Select Main Setup -> Event Surveill. -> Setup Events to enter the Event Setup window. Select the name of the episode type to set the episode pre/

If the status is Deactivated event surveillance is effectively switched off. Select Confirm to confirm your changes. 1 2 3 4 5 Triggering Events Manually To manually trigger an event, select the SmartKey Manual Event. For manually-triggered events, patient information for the time leading up to the trigger moment is stored using the settings of the assigned event group. Running a Car Seat Assessment Record In the NER group you can run a Car Seat Assessment Record (CAR). This is a special period of event surveillance using the current setup of the NER group. 223 20 Event Surveillance The Events Database To start a CAR period:
Select the Start CAR pop-up key or SmartKey. Select the required time period for the assessment. Select Confirm to start the CAR. 1 2 3 If the NER group was not active it will be activated automatically. During the CAR period an SpO2 histogram is also generated with 1 second samples. For general information about the presentation of data in a histogram, see Viewing Histogram Trends on page 210. The CAR SpO2 histogram is unique: it can only be accessed from the events function. It is generated from the beginning of the CAR period (contrary to the non-SpO2 histograms which are generated from trended data retrospectively at the end of a time period). Settings are fixed for this histogram and cannot be changed when viewing it. The Events Database The maximum number of events that can be stored in the event database depends on the database configuration. The event database is set up in the monitors Configuration Mode. Events are stored in the monitors event database for the configured lifetime, either 8 hours or 24 hours. Deleted events cannot be retrieved. Events are automatically deleted when:
their configured lifetime is over
the storage capacity of the database is exceeded (storing a further event deletes the oldest event in the memory)
a patient is discharged. As the event database is cleared when you discharge a patient, you should ensure that you have documented any events you require for the patient records before you confirm the discharge. Viewing Events
To review all the events, use the Event Review window.
To review individual event episodes in detail, use the Event Episode window. To start viewing events, either:
in the Main Setup menu, select Event Surveill. and then select the event view you select the Event Surveill. SmartKey and then select the event view you require from the list, or require from the list. Event Counter Apnea events (A), bradycardia events (B), and combinations of these events are counted and classified by the event counter in the Event Summary. If they are associated with a Desaturation (D), this is also marked. Manual events (M) are counted separately. In the example below, A(D):2(1) indicates that two apnea events occurred and one of them was associated with a desaturation. 16 Stored Events:
A(D):2(1) B(D):7(1) AB (D): 1(1) D:6 M:0 224 Viewing Events Counting Combi-Events 20 Event Surveillance If one or more events occur during the same Episode Time, the monitor combines them and displays them as distinct events in one event episode, called a combi-event. The first event is the trigger event, and the others are follow-up events. For example, if an apnea event is followed 40 seconds later by a brady event, the brady event is not counted as a single event but as part of the apnea event. Event Review Window To enter the Event Review window, select the graphic event summary, if available, or select the events pop-up key Show Review. Event Review
(Total: 4) HR Brady SpO2 DESAT Resp APNEA Manual Total Event bars: Each event bar represents one event. The height indicates the event severity. Bars that extend over more than one channel represent combi-events. Manually-captured events are marked with a bar above the timeline instead of in the measurement channels. Event values: Event information for the currently-selected event is shown on the left of the review window. The trigger measurement is highlighted. If an alarm triggers the event, the monitor shows the alarm conditions that triggered the event. If the event trigger was user-defined, instead of an alarm condition the monitor shows for example SpO2 94<96, where the second number is the current event trigger threshold and the first number is the maximum deviation from the set limit. Trigger threshold: The horizontal lines show the trigger thresholds. Gaps in the line indicate that the trigger was inactive for a while, possibly because alarms were switched off or because there was an INOP condition in the group measurements. Timeline: The timeline at the bottom indicates the period currently stored in the event database. Event Episode Window To enter the Event Episode window, select the pop-up key Show Episode. 225 20 Event Surveillance Annotating Events The Event Episode window shows four minutes of high-resolution event information.

Event Recordings Event Review Recordings Each event review recording strip begins with a summary of the events stored in the event database. Recording strip annotation is explained in the Recording chapter. In graphic event review recordings, events are represented by bars. The timeline reflects the period stored in the database, either 24 hours (divided into 4 hour sections) or 8 hours (divided into one-hour sections). In tabular event review recordings, the events stored in the event database are shown in chronological order, with a number and time-stamp. The measurements in the event group are shown in the next columns, marked Parameter 1, Parameter 2..., along with the event values measured at the time of the event. For each event, the trigger values are shown. Event Episode Recordings Event episode recordings are divided into four sections. 1 The first section shows the patient information and the event group of the episode with the event values for the group measurements. The trigger symbol marks the event trigger. 2 The second section shows the waveforms recorded during the episode. The trigger moment is marked with a triangle and divides the episode into the pre/post time. Any calibration marks and grid marks on the screen are automatically printed on the recording. 1. 91MIN Green, Sarah 37549201 23 Jan 02 10:43 NICU3 Group: NER HR : BRADY 95>110 SpO2 Resp : APNEA (31 sec) 227 20 Event Surveillance Documenting Events 25 mm/min

It allows you to run a clinical protocol which can monitor developments in the patients condition, taking into account:
measured values from the monitor
values manually entered by you (for example manual temperature measurements, lab values)
your assessment of patient status ProtocolWatch notifies you when certain conditions or combinations of conditions occur and it documents developments in a log which can be printed. Severe Sepsis Screening Severe Sepsis Screening is a protocol implemented for the ProtocolWatch application. It is a computerized implementation of the January 2008 Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock 2 Sepsis Definitions. Philips does not make any claims about their effectiveness to reduce the morbidity or mortality associated with severe sepsis. Severe Sepsis Screening assists you in recognizing the early signs and symptoms of sepsis by comparing the state of your patient to the defined criteria. Use of the protocol requires thorough knowledge of the Sepsis Definitions in the SSC Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock. Severe Sepsis Screening is not a diagnostic or therapeutic tool and is not intended to replace the competent judgement of a clinician. In Severe Sepsis Screening the measurement values and patient status are compared to the Severe Sepsis Screening criteria. When these criteria have been met, the clinician confirms the presence of infection and sepsis-related organ dysfunction and can authorize entering the Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle. On the MP5 monitor only Severe Sepsis Screening is implemented. If at the end of this phase sepsis has been confirmed, the patient will normally be transferred to an intensive care unit for treatment in the sepsis resuscitation and management phases. In this case you can connect the MP5 to another IntelliVue monitor with the full version of the SSC Sepsis Protocol and transfer the current state, the settings and the log. CAUTION It is not possible to transfer SSC Sepsis Protocol data from an MP5 monitor with release F.0 software to another monitor with release G.0 software and vice versa. 2.Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock - 2008 January Surviving Sepsis Campaign, (All Rights Reserved) 231 21 ProtocolWatch Severe Sepsis Screening Severe Sepsis Screening and this description are based on the SSC Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock2 from January 2008 and the SSC Bundle definitions from January 2005. To check the version of the Guidelines and Bundle definitions on the monitor, Select Main Setup -> Revision -> ProtocolWatch -> SSC Sepsis ProtocolWatch-SSC Sepsis Inactive Screening SSC Standby SSC Sepsis is only intended for adult patients. SSC Sepsis Protocol rev A.02.04 SSC Guidelines for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock from Jan 2008 - Copyright Surviving Sepsis Campaign (All rights reserved) SSC/IHI Bundle Definitions from Jan 2005 Caution: Consider specific clinical context before following SSC Sepsis treatment recommendations The SSC Sepsis Protocol is not a diagnostic or therapeutic tool and is not intended to replace the competent judgement of a clinician. SSC: Surviving Sepsis Campaign IHI: Institute for Healthcare Improvement 14-Mar-2007 08:10:20 Orientation On The Screen At the top of each window there is an orientation line showing the phases available on your monitor, with the currently active phase highlighted. ProtocolWatch - Sepsis Resuscitation Bundle Inactive Screening SSC Standby You can also place the ProtocolWatch symbol, together with the currently active phase, on the main screen, in one of the numeric positions. This allows you to see at a glance which phase is currently active, even when no SSC Sepsis Protocol window is currently displayed. If you need to enter data or perform an action in an SSC Sepsis Protocol window, the symbol will turn into a SmartKey.

Viewing And Printing The Protocol Log The Protocol Log stores all user interactions, alarms and phase transitions while the SSC Sepsis Protocol is running. To view the Log select Main Setup -> ProtocolWatch -> Protocol Log You can choose between three different views of the Protocol Log:
Summary View - a short form which does not include when the windows were triggered
Full View - a complete log of all user interactions, alarms and phase transitions
Phase View - you can view log entries for one phase by selecting that phase on the orientation line When the Log consists of several pages, you can move through the pages with the Previous Page and Next Page keys. To start a Protocol Log printout, select Print. The log is cleared whenever a patient is discharged. Always Discharge Patients It is essential that patients are discharged when monitoring ends. As a reminder, the monitor can be configured to display a pop-up window when the monitor has been switched off, in Standby mode, or not monitoring basic vitals for a certain time. The window asks whether a new patient is being monitored and offers a pop-up key to discharge the previous patient if this is the case. The window must be configured in Configuration Mode. When the previous patient is discharged, this clears the protocol log, resets the timers and deletes manually entered measurement values. 236 22 22 Recording The optional integrated recorder records numerics for all active measurements and up to three waveforms. When the MP5 is connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated on the MP5 display), only data originating in the MP5 can be printed locally on the integrated recorder. All data can be printed on a recorder connected to the host monitor. Integrated Recorder Central Recording For central recording from the bedside, your monitor must be connected via a network to an Information Center. You can use either the M1116B 2-Channel Recorder or the standalone M3160A 4-Channel Recorder. Recordings made on the M3160A may look slightly different to those described here. See the documentation supplied with the Information Center for information on the 4-Channel Recorder. Starting and Stopping Recordings The recordings pop-up keys let you start and stop recordings.

All available leads are recorded sequentially in the standardized lead order. The recording is realtime, that is, the information recorded is not simultaneous. Creating and Changing Recordings Templates To save you defining recording settings each time you start a recording, you can create templates for commonly-used types of recordings in the Setup Recording menu. You can create templates for one delayed recording, one alarm recording, two realtime recordings, and one high resolution recording. All ECG Waves recordings do not need to be configured, they always use the same format. Changing recordings templates changes the settings that will be used each time a recording of this name is triggered. Select the Main Setup permanent key to call up the Main Setup menu. Select Recordings to enter the Setup Recordings menu. 1 2 239 22 Recording Changing ECG Wave Gain 3 Select the name of the template you want to create or change. Each recording name is linked to a recording type, delayed, alarm, realtime, and hi-res trends. Recording names can be changed in the monitors Configuration Mode. 4 Design the template by selecting each menu item and entering the information for the template.
Recorder: choose which recorder the recording will print to (Local, Central 2-Ch. or Central 4-
Ch. recorder, or a printer (for realtime reports in alarm receording only)).
Channels 1 - 4: choose which waveform to record in each channel. If the wave assigned to a recording channel in a particular template is not available when a recording is triggered, the channel is left blank on the recording strip. The pop-up list of available (currently monitored) waves differs according to the recording type:
Realtime, delayed and alarm recordings: the list shows all the currently available waves. High-resolution recordings: the list shows all the available high-resolution waves. In addition to the currently available waves, you can choose from several other settings which make an automatic allocation when the recording starts:
Alarm Par will always record the measurement in alarm in the chosen recorder channel Primary Lead will always record the current primary lead in the chosen recorder channel Secondary Lead will always record the current secondary lead in the chosen recorder Agent will always record the currently selected anesthetic agent. For high-resolution recordings only the Agent setting is available.
Overlap: define whether the recorded waveforms will be printed overlapping or beside each other.
Speed: choose the recording print speed.
Delay Time: Delayed recordings start documenting on the recorder strip from a pre-set time channel before the recording is started. This interval is called the Delay Time and can be set as specified in the table on page 239. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.
Runtime: see how long this type of recording is configured to run. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. Continuous recordings run indefinitely.
Central Config - if available in the General menu, select this setting to use the recording settings made for the centrally-connected recorder. Changing ECG Wave Gain The ECG Gain setting in the General Recording Setup window defines how every recorded ECG wave, irrespective of template or recording type, will appear on the recorder strip. This does not affect the displayed ECG wave, or printed ECG reports. To change the ECG gain setting for recordings, 1 2 3 In the Setup Recording menu select General Select ECG Gain. Select the required setting:
Auto: the wave recording will use the same scale as the ECG wave on the monitor screen 5 mm/mV, 10 mm/mv, 20 mm/mV: the wave recording will use a scale of 5, 10, or 20 millimeters per millivolt. 240 Recording Priorities 22 Recording Recording Priorities Manually-started recordings have priority over automatically-started recordings. If an automatically-triggered alarm recording is running, and a realtime or delayed recording is manually started, the alarm recording is stopped and the manually-requested recording is started. More recent manually-started recordings have priority over older manually-started recordings. If a manually-started recording is running, and another manually-started recording is triggered, then the older recording is stopped and the more recent manually-started recording is started. Alarm recordings are prioritized according to alarm priority. If an alarm recording triggered by a yellow alarm is running and a new alarm recording is triggered by a red alarm, the yellow alarm recording is stopped and the red alarm recording is started. Sample Recording Strip The information printed on the recording strip includes the patient name and MRN, bed number, date and time of recording, recording speed, and recording code. Active alarm and INOP messages as well as numerics for all currently monitored measurements are also printed. Recording strip annotations are printed at the beginning of the recording strip and updated at regular intervals, every 15 minutes for recordings made at speeds lower than 6.25 mm/s, and every 60 seconds for recordings made at speeds greater or equal to 6.25 mm/s. This sample recording strip shows a typical initial annotation:

Recorded Waveforms A selection of up to three waveforms is recorded, marked with wave labels and wave scale information. Wave scale information can be in the form of a calibration bar, like the 1 mV calibration bar for ECG, or calibration steps before the waveform starts. Maintaining Recording Strips Recording ink sometimes fades when covered with transparent tape. Avoid covering any part of a recording that is clinically relevant (annotation or waveforms) when taping a recording strip to a patient record or other patient documentation. 242 Reloading Paper Reloading Paper 22 Recording 1 Use the latch on the right side of the recorder door to pull the door open. 2 Remove the empty core. 3 Insert a new roll and secure it in place on the paper holder. The paper feeds from the bottom of the roll and over the top of the recorder door. Recommended paper: M4816A and M4817A. 4 With at least one inch of paper extending beyond the edge of the door, swing the recorder door up and push it firmly closed. 5 To test if paper is loaded correctly, start a recording. If no printing appears, paper may be loaded backwards. Try reloading the paper. CAUTION When the recorder is disabled (door open, or out of paper), any alarm recordings will be sent to the central station recorder, if there is one. If no recorder is available, alarm recordings may be lost during the time the recorder is disabled. The message No alarm recording available will be displayed. This message is not shown if Printer is configured as the alarm recording destination. Recorder Status Messages Recorder Status Messages

Report names are shown only for reports that have been correctly set up. Data from the time of the print request is printed, even if the print job is delayed in the printer queue. Your monitor can also be set up to automatically print all reports when a matching printer is available. To set this up 1 2 Select Main Setup - > Reports Select Auto Print Dbs. Always will print all reports when a matching printer is available. Host only will print the reports stored on the host monitor when a matching printer is available. Reports stored in the companion database (shown in grey on the Reports Job List) must be manually sent to the printer. See Checking Report Status and Printing Manually on page 250. Never will print no reports automatically; all reports stored in the host or companion database must be manually sent to the printer. See Checking Report Status and Printing Manually on page 250. Depending on availability, reports can be printed on printers connected to the Information Center, an external PC-based print server or into the print database. Print jobs stored in the database are automatically printed when a print device with a matching paper size becomes available. Print jobs in the print database are not deleted after a patient discharge. A new patient can be admitted and their reports are saved in addition to the previous reports. Always admit your patient so that reports can be clearly assigned to a patient. When the MP5 is connected to a host monitor, reports requested or stored on the MP5 can be printed via the host monitor. Reports requested on the MP5 when connected to a host monitor will not show any patient alarms or INOPs. In order to see alarms, reports should be requested on the host monitor. 245 23 Printing Patient Reports Stopping Reports Printouts Report types Report contents Vital Signs Report depends on selected trend group, data resolution, and period.

Toggle Scheduled Rep. to Off if the report is an End Case Report only. 5 Repeat the procedure for all Auto Reports you want to set up. All Auto Reports or Scheduled Reports set to On print automatically at the predefined trigger. Be aware that the monitors memory for reports is limited. If the memory is full, Auto Reports cannot be printed and the information may be lost. Setting Up Individual Print Jobs To adjust the appearance of individual print jobs, in the Reports menu, 1 Select Main Setup -> Reports -> Setup Reports to enter the Setup Reports menu. Select Report and then select the report you want to set up. Select Report Type and then select the reports template you want the report selected in Step 2 to use. The selection of templates listed depends on the report type selected. Each template includes patient demographic data, and each Realtime Report also includes alarm and INOP information. In addition, the templates include:
VisibleWaves: all waves currently visible, in the order they appear on the screen. All Waves: all measured waves, RT Waves: all currently measured realtime waves, according to the monitors priority list. HiRes Waves: all measured HiRes waves OxyCRG Waves: the OxyCRG/Neonatal Event Review waves. Vital Signs: trend information in tabular form. Graph Trend: trend information in graphic form. ECG3X4, ECG6X2, ECG12X1, ECG4X2, ECG8X1, ECG12X1(2P): ECG reports. Episode: a single patient event episode. Review: an overview of patient events Alarm Limits: a list of all currently set alarm limits. Select Report Size to set the paper size to be used for the report: Unspecified to use the default size for the template chosen, Universal, A4, Letter, LrgUniversal, A3, or Ledger. The list of available sizes depends on the report type selected. Select Orientation to set the orientation of the report printout: Unspecified to use the default size for the template chosen, Landscape or Portrait. Select Target Device and choose which printer the print job will be sent to: Unspec. to use the default printer, or choose from the list of printer names defined at the Information Center or in the monitors Configuration Mode (for example, Remote 1 or Database). 2 3 4 5 6 Some settings may be inactive (grayed-out) in this menu for reports that can only be started in a special window. 248 Checking Printer Settings 23 Printing Patient Reports Checking Printer Settings The printer settings for your monitor are defined in Configuration Mode. The printer settings Paper Size, Resolution, Color Support, and Duplex Option for the active printer are visible but inactive (grayed-out) in the Setup Printers menu. When Print Database is selected as active printer only the Paper Size setting will be shown. To enter the Setup Printers menu, in the Reports menu, select Setup Printers. Printing a Test Report A test report can be printed in Configuration mode, refer to the Service Guide for details. Switching Printers On Or Off for Reports 1 You can enable or disable printer status to switch individual printers on or off for report printouts. In the Setup Printers menu, select Printer and then select the name of the device you want to switch on or off for Reports printing from the pop-up list. Select Printer Status to toggle between the settings Enabled and Disabled. If you set this to Disabled, no reports will be printed to the named printer. If the monitor detects that no printer of a particular type is available, the Enabled/Disabled setting will automatically be set to Disabled and grayed out. 2 Dashed Lines on Reports If a section of a wave on a report is drawn with dashed lines, this tells you that a setting that affects the appearance of the wave on the screen was changed while the report was printing. For example, if you change the wave scale while a report is printing, the wave scale and wave size are changed immediately on the monitor screen and on the report. To indicate that the scale information printed at the beginning of the report no longer matches the currently used scale, the wave will be printed using dashed lines, starting from the moment the change took place. Some examples of settings that cause dashed lines in reports if changed during printing are: Filter mode, ECG lead placement, wave scale, measurement unit, paced/non-paced setting, and measurement mode. Note that as ECG waves are drawn with a fixed gain on reports (either 10 mm/
mV or 20 mm/mV), changing the ECG wave scale will not cause dashed-line reports. To avoid dashed lines on reports, wait 15 seconds after changing a setting before you trigger a report. Unavailable Printer: Re-routing Reports If you send a report to be printed on a printer that is not available, for example, because it has run out of paper, this print job is suspended and stored in the monitors memory. 249 23 Printing Patient Reports Checking Report Status and Printing Manually If the target device of this print job was set to Unspecified, the monitor will periodically try to resend the print job to the first printer listed in the Setup Printers menu under Printer that is set to Enabled and that has paper of the correct size. To allow the report to print, you must either solve the problem with the target printer, or re-route the print job to another printer with paper of the correct size. To re-route a print job, Enable the new target printer by selecting it in the Setup Printers menu and toggling to Enabled. As the monitor tries to send the report to the printers in the order they are listed, you must make sure that all the printers above the new target printer are disabled. If the target device of the print job was set to a specific printer, re-routing is not possible. Checking Report Status and Printing Manually A list of all print requests which are waiting, printing or stored can be viewed in the Reports Job List. To view the list, in the Reports menu, select Reports Job List. The following information is displayed for each print request:

Sample Report Printouts Each report header contains the patients bed label, last name and first name, middle name (if there is enough space) the patient ID, the date and time, and the name of the report. The report footer contains the hospital label and page number, and the last page contains a note to mark the report end. The monitor may be configured to leave a space on the top left or right of the report printout to enable you to stick a patient address label on it. This setting is called the Addressograph and it can only be changed in the monitors Configuration Mode. 252 Sample Report Printouts 23 Printing Patient Reports Alarm Limits Report Patient Name Measurement labels, with alarms off symbol where alarms are switched off Realtime Report Graphic view of current alarm limits in relation to currently monitored measurement value 253 23 Printing Patient Reports Sample Report Printouts Patient demographic information, time stamp Active Alarms and INOPs, followed by vital signs Measurement waves section 254 23 Printing Patient Reports Sample Report Printouts ECG Reports Patient information Numeric block Wave area Below the header on ECG Reports, the numeric block shows the current HR, PVC, and ST values. The wave area shows the printed waves for all available ECG leads. A 1 mV calibration bar is printed at the beginning of each wave. With the 3X4, 6X2, and 2X4 formats, a rhythm stripe prints a longer section of the ECG wave from the primary ECG lead for ECG rhythm evaluation. The ECG signal bandwidth, the patients paced status, the ECG gain, and the print speed are printed at the bottom of the wave area. Pace pulse marks are automatically printed beside the wave for paced patients. Beat labels can be set to print on the rhythm stripe. The 12X1 (2P) format prints the report over two pages.

The Drug Calculator helps you to manage infusions by calculating one of these values at a time. Term Dose Rate Amount Definition Units total quantity of drug to be delivered to the patient over time volume of the mixture to be delivered to the patient over time amount of drug to be added to diluent to make up a mixture quantity of mixture of diluent and drug Volume Concentration ratio of the amount of drug to the solution Standardized Rate volume 1ml volume of the mixture to be delivered to the patient per hour amount units per time or per kg/
time, if the drug is weight-dependent ml/hour ng, mcg*, mg, g, mUnit, Unit, where g stands for gram ml amount units per ml ml/hr
*Be aware that your hospital may use either g or mcg as an abbreviation for microgram. These abbreviations are equivalent. WARNING Before you administer any drug, always check that the correct calculation units and patient category are selected. Consult your pharmacy if you have questions. Decisions on the choice and dosage of drugs administered to patients must always be made by the physician in charge. The Drug Calculator performs calculations based on the values input during use, it does not check the plausibility of the calculations performed. Accessing the Drug Calculator To access the Drug Calculator, select Main Setup -> Calculations ->
Drug Calculator, or select the Drug Calculator SmartKey, if configured. 257 24 Using the Drug Calculator Performing Drug Calculations Performing Drug Calculations Using the service Support Tool, a list of drugs can be configured for the monitor containing pre-
defined dosage recommendations and unit settings. Selecting the arrow beside the drug name in the Drug Calculator window opens a list of configured drugs. Contact your pharmacist if you have any questions about the drugs in the list. If ANY DRUG is the only entry in the list of drugs, no drugs have been preconfigured for your monitor. Drug calculations can be performed for non-specific drugs. You must have a Support Tool to add additional drugs to the Drug Calculator. About the Rule of Six If the Rule of Six has been enabled for use with individual drugs in your Drug Calculator, you can use the formula in crisis situations to quickly calculate the amount of a drug needed to yield a target dose for continuous infusion for neonatal or pediatric patients (the drug amount is given in mg, the patient weight in kg). The Rule of Six can only be used with the dose unit mcg/kg/min. CAUTION JCAHO recommends disabling the Rule of Six. The configuration is not JCAHO-compliant if Rule of Six is enabled. The Drug Calculator uses the following formula for Rule of Six calculations, based on the patients weight:
For a target dose of 0.1 mcg/kg/min, the Drug Calculator multiplies 0.6 x patient weight to calculate the amount you need to add to the IV solution to equal a total of 100 ml.
For a target dose of 1.0 mcg/kg/min, the Drug Calculator multiplies 6.0 x patient weight to calculate the amount you need to add to the IV solution to equal a total of 100 ml. Performing Calculations for a Non-Specific Drug If a list of drugs has not been configured for your monitor, you can use the Drug Calculator to calculate drug doses for a single, generic drug called Any Drug. Selecting the arrow beside the drug name in the Drug Calculator window shows that are no other drugs configured. 1 Enter three of these four values: dose, amount, volume, and rate of the infusion solution. To enter values, select the correct unit, then select each value field and use the pop-up keypad to enter the correct value. Drug Calculator ANY DRUG Dose Rate Amount Volume Concentr 1 ml/hr Weight mg/min ml/hour mg ml 2 480 25 100 0.25 mg/ml 0.004 mg/min 150 lb If you have chosen a weight-dependent dose unit, you must enter the patient weight now or choose a different unit. If available, the patient weight from the Patient Demographic window is entered automatically in the Drug Calculator window when the Drug Calculator is accessed. To change the patient weight, select the Weight key then use the on-screen keypad to enter the correct value. This will not change the patient weight stored in the patient demographic information. 2 258 Performing Drug Calculations 24 Using the Drug Calculator 3 When you have entered three values, the Drug Calculator automatically calculates the unknown fourth value and shows it in the highlighted field. Standardized rate and concentration are also calculated. Performing Calculations for a Specific Drug Select the arrow beside ANY DRUG, then select the required drug from the list of drugs. This opens the Drug Calculator window for the selected drug. 1 2 Patient Category Adult Pedi Neo Drug Calculator (Adult) Lidocaine Dose Rate Amount Volume Concentr. ml/hr Weight mg/min ml/hour mg ml mg/ml mg/min lb Select the correct patient category for your patient.

Battery compartment You can switch between battery-powered and mains-powered (AC) operation without interrupting monitoring. When an MP5 is connected to a host monitor, no battery data from the MP5 is visible on the host. Battery INOPs, however, are displayed. The battery normally recharges automatically when the monitor is connected to mains power. Battery Power Indicators The battery LED and battery status information on the Main Screen, in combination with INOP messages and prompts, help you keep track of the battery power status. The indicators always show the remaining capacity in relation to the batterys actual maximum capacity, which may lessen as the battery ages. You can see the actual capacity in the Battery Status window. 271 28 Using Batteries Battery LED Battery Power Indicators The battery LED on the front panel of the monitor is indicated by a battery symbol. Battery LED Battery LED Colors If the monitor is connected to mains power, this means If the monitor is running on battery power, this means Green Yellow Red, flashing battery power is > 90%

< 90%) Red, flashes intermittently battery or charger malfunction less than 10 minutes power remaining battery malfunction Battery Status on the Main Screen Battery status information can be configured to display permanently on all Screens. It shows the status of the battery, with the battery power remaining and, when the battery is not charging, an estimate of the monitoring time this represents. 2:40 hrs Battery power gauge: This shows the remaining battery power. It is divided into sections, each representing 20% of the total power. If three and a half sections are filled, as in this example, this indicates that 70% battery power remains. If no battery is detected, the battery gauge is grayed-out. If no data is available from the battery, question marks are shown in the gauge. Monitoring Time Available: Below the battery power gauge a time is displayed. This is the estimated monitoring time available with the current battery power. Note that this time fluctuates depending on the system load (the display brightness and how many measurements and recordings you carry out), the age of the battery, and the remaining capacity of the battery. Battery malfunction symbols: If a problem is detected with the battery, these symbols are displayed. They may be accompanied by an INOP message or by a battery status message in the monitor information line providing more details. Symbols indicating critical situations are colored red.

(TransportBrightn setting). 274 Battery Safety Information Charging a Battery 28 Using Batteries A battery can be charged in monitors used to monitor patients. Charging is quicker in monitors which are switched off. You can also use the M8043A Smart Battery Charger to charge batteries. 1 Insert the battery into a monitor connected to mains power. The battery LED will light yellow to indicate that charging is in process (it can take up to three minutes before charging begins). 2 Charge the battery until it is full, the battery LED is green, and the battery power gauge is filled. In certain situations, where many measurements are in use plus the recorder, the load on the monitor may be so high that the batteries will not charge. In this case you must use the M8043A Smart Battery Charger to charge the battery. Conditioning a Battery You must condition a battery when its battery requires maintenance symbol shows on the Screen. Do not interrupt the charge or discharge cycle during conditioning. CAUTION Do not use a monitor being used to monitor patients to condition batteries. The monitor switches off automatically when there is no battery power left. You can also use the M8043A Smart Battery Charger for external battery conditioning (requires adapter, order number 4512 610 17451). For details please see the Instructions for Use for the Smart Battery Charger. Do not use any other battery chargers or conditioners. To condition a battery using a monitor, 1 Insert the battery into a monitor connected to mains power. Switch the monitor power off. 2 3 Charge the battery until it is completely full. Open the Battery Status window and check that the Batt Fully Charged message is displayed. 4 Disconnect the monitor from mains power, and let the monitor run until there is no battery power left and the monitor switches itself off. 5 Reconnect the monitor to mains power and charge the battery until it is full for use or charge to 50% for storage. Storing a Battery A battery should not remain inside the monitor if it is not used for a longer period of time. Batteries should be charged to a maximum of 50% for storage. NOTE The battery will discharge over time if it is stored inside the monitor without AC power connection. The reported values for remaining capacity and runtime will become less accurate when the battery is stored in this way for a longer period of time (that is, several weeks).

See the maintenance section for a list of required tests. Safety and performance tests, and what to do if the instrument does not meet these specifications are described in the Installation and Service guide. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Specifications Take special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) when using medical electrical equipment. You must operate your monitoring equipment according to the EMC information provided in this book. Portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment. Accessories Compliant with EMC Standards All accessories listed in the accessories section comply, in combination with the monitor, with the requirements of IEC 60601-1-2:2001 + A1:2004. WARNING Using accessories other than those specified may result in increased electromagnetic emission or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the monitoring equipment. Electromagnetic Emissions The monitor is suitable for use in the electromagnetic environment specified in the table below. You must ensure that it is used in such an environment Emissions test Radio Frequency (RF) emissions Compliance Group 1 RF emissions CISPR 11 Class A RF emissions CISPR 11 Harmonic emissions IEC 61000-3-2 Voltage fluctuations IEC 61000-3-3 Class B complies complies Avoiding Electromagnetic Interference The monitor uses RF energy only for its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment The monitor is suitable for use in all establishments other than those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. The monitor, with the following measurements and interfaces:
ECG/Respiration, NBP, SpO2, Pressure, Temperature, CO2
(only Mainstream Sensor M2501A) LAN, Video Out, Battery, Nurse Call, RS232, and recorder interfaces is suitable for use in all establishments including those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. 321 31 Installation and Specifications Safety and Performance Tests Avoiding Electromagnetic Interference (Resp) The respiration (Resp) measurement is a very sensitive measurement that measures a very small signal. Technological limitations do not allow higher immunity levels than 1 V/m for radiated RF electromagnetic fields and 1 Vrms for conducted disturbances induced by RF fields. Electromagnetic fields with field strengths above 1 V/m and conducted disturbances above 1 Vrms may cause erroneous measurements. Therefore Philips recommends that you avoid using electrically radiating equipment in the close proximity of this measurement. WARNING The monitor should not be used next to or stacked with other equipment. If you must stack the monitor, you must check that normal operation is possible in the necessary configuration before you start monitoring patients.

Therefore, other equipment may cause interference, even if that other equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements. In the following table, P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in metres
(m). The values given in brackets are for respiration. Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the monitor, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation appropriate for the frequency of the transmitter. Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range. Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with this symbol:

To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the monitor is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the monitor should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the monitor. These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people. Recommended separation distances from portable and mobile RF communication equipment The monitor is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or user of the monitor can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the monitor as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment. In the following table, P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in metres

See the Service Guide for details. Mounting the External Power Supply (M8023A) The external power supply (M8023A) can be rested on its rubber feet on a flat, level surface, or mounted as described in the Service Guide. The following pictures show examples of correct (
power supply.
) and incorrect (
) ways to mount the Connecting the Monitor to AC Mains The monitor is an electrical Class II device in which the protection against electric shock does not rely on basic insulation and a protective earth conductor but on double and/or reinforced insulation. 3 1 Installation Connecting the Monitor to AC Mains Host Monitor as Power Source When connected to a host monitor, via the Measurement Link (MSL) cable or when directly attached to the host, the X2 obtains its power from the host, including that needed for battery charging. Note that the X2 will operate and charge its battery even when attached to a host monitor running on battery power. X2 attached to MP70 MSL Cable connects to host monitor or power supply (M8023A) External Power Supply M8023A (Option) The optional wide-range external power supply (M8023A) allows you to operate the monitor from an AC (alternating current) power source of 100 V to 240 V ( 10%) and 50/60 Hz ( 5%). The external power supply also charges the monitors battery. 1 4 4 2 3 Checking Out the Monitor 1 Installation 1 2 3 4 AC power cord. Connect to AC mains socket. Connect LAN cable here. For connection to a PC or Information Center. Measurement Link (MSL) cable. Supplies AC input power to the monitor for AC operation and for battery charging. When there is a LAN connection to a PC or Information Center, the MSL cable also carries this data to and from the monitor. Power-on LED. The green light is on when the external power supply is connected to AC mains. WARNING Always use the supplied power cord with the earthed mains plug to connect the external power supply (M8023A) to an earthed AC mains socket. Never adapt the mains plug from the power supply to fit an unearthed AC mains socket. Do not use AC mains extension cords or multiple portable socket-outlets. If a multiple portable socket-outlet without an approved isolation transformer is used, the interruption of its protective earthing may result in enclosure leakage currents equal to the sum of the individual earth leakage currents, so exceeding allowable limits. Do not connect any devices that are not supported as part of a system. Any non-medical device placed and operated in the patients vicinity must be powered via an approved isolation transformer that ensures mechanical fixing of the power cords and covering of any unused power outlets. Checking Out the Monitor The following table defines which tests and inspections need to be performed, and when they are required. Test Test or Inspection to be Performed Visual Inspect the monitor, measurement accessories and cables for any damage. Power On Functionality Test Safety Tests (1) to (4) System Are they free of damage?
Power on the monitor. Does it start up successfully without errors? Do all alarm lamps light up during power up?
After start up, the monitor sounds a tone, and you can see the monitoring main screen (normally with measurement wave channels and numeric positions). After power up, touch the battery status indicator in the bottom right of the screen. The battery status window should open. Press the blue Main Screen key to close the window and return to the main screen. Perform safety tests (1) to (4), as described in the Service Guide, for standalone devices if required by local laws and regulations, and each time you combine equipment to form a system, or exchange system components. Details of the safety tests and procedures are described in the Service Guide. These safety tests are derived from international standards but may not always be sufficient to meet local requirements. Perform the system test according to IEC 60601-1-1, if applicable, after combining equipment to form a system (see the Service Guide). For test and inspection information regarding repairs, upgrades and all other service events, refer to the Service Guide. 5 1 Installation Operating the Monitor Operating the Monitor To complete installation you will need to operate the monitor to check basic functionality. Here is a quick introduction to the monitor. 1 Switch on the monitor. After start-up the monitor display will become active. You operate the monitor using the touch screen. 2 Touch something on the screen (numerics, waves, other screen items) to enter the corresponding menu. Touching the NBP numeric, for example, brings you to the Setup NBP menu. 3 Touch again to select an item on the menu and work through the menu activities. 4 To access SmartKeys, press the SmartKeys key. Main Setup is one of the SmartKeys. 5 If you cannot find a menu by touching the screen you can always use the Main Setup SmartKey which will get you to all menus on the monitor. 6 Press the Main Screen key to close all open menus/windows and return to the main screen. Press again to enter the Change Screen window, where you can choose from a number of pre-configured screens. 6 Setting the Date and Time 1 Installation Setting the Date and Time To set the date and time:
1 2 3 4 5 Press the SmartKeys key to enter the SmartKeys window. Select the Main Setup SmartKey to enter the Main Setup menu. Select the Date, Time screen element from the monitors info line to enter the Date, Time menu. Select, in turn, the Year, Month, Day, Hour (in 24 hour format, only) and Minute as necessary. Select the correct values from the pop-up list. Select Store Date, Time to change the date and time. If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, the date and time are automatically taken from this. If the X2 is connected to a host monitor, the date and time are automatically synchronized with the host monitor. When connected to a host monitor, you cannot set the date and time on the X2. Once it is set, the internal clock retains the setting even when you switch off the monitor. Checking Country-Specific Default Settings Some settings are made in the factory to match the typical requirements in a specific country. Line frequency, units for weight and height, and ECG cable colors (AAMI or IEC) have been set to appropriate values. If you suspect that these settings may not match your institutions requirements, check the settings and change them if necessary as described in the Configuration Guide. WARNING Before starting monitoring, check that the current configuration meets your requirements, especially patient category, alarm limits and paced setting. If you need to enter configuration mode:
1 2 In the Main Setup menu, select Operating Modes. Select Config and enter the passcode. The passcode for configuration mode is given in the monitors service documentation. The monitor displays Config at the right hand side of the status line and in the center of the Screen while you are in configuration mode. Before you leave configuration mode, always be sure to store any changes you made. You must store changes made to each Settings Block and to each Profile, individually. As it may be difficult to remember whether the settings you changed belong to a Monitor Settings block or a Measurement Settings block, we recommend that you store each block before you leave configuration mode. To leave configuration mode:
In the Main Setup menu, select Operating Modes and then select Monitoring. 7 1 Installation Handing Over the Monitor Handing Over the Monitor If you are handing over the monitor to the end-users directly after configuration, make sure that it is in Monitoring mode. Users must be adequately trained to use the monitor before monitoring a patient. To achieve this, they should have access to, and read, the following documentation delivered with the monitor:
Instructions for Use (this book) - for full operating instructions Quick Guide - for quick reminders during use 8 2 2Basic Operation These Instructions for Use are for clinical professionals using the IntelliVue X2 (M3002A) Multi-
Measurement Module. This basic operation section gives you an overview of the device and its functions. It tells you how to perform tasks that are common to all measurements (such as entering data, switching a measurement on and off, setting up and adjusting wave speeds, working with profiles). The alarms section gives an overview of alarms. The remaining sections tell you how to perform individual measurements, and how to care for and maintain the equipment. Familiarize yourself with all instructions including warnings and cautions before starting to monitor patients. Read and keep the Instructions for Use that come with any accessories, as these contain important information about care and cleaning that is not repeated here. This guide describes all features and options. Your monitor may not have all of them; they are not all available in all geographies. Your monitor is highly configurable. What you see on the screen, how the menus appear and so forth, depends on the way it has been tailored for your hospital and may not be exactly as shown here. In this guide:
A warning alerts you to a potential serious outcome, adverse event or safety hazard. Failure to observe a warning may result in death or serious injury to the user or patient. A caution alerts you to where special care is necessary for the safe and effective use of the product. Failure to observe a caution may result in minor or moderate personal injury or damage to the product or other property, and possibly in a remote risk of more serious injury. Monitor refers to the entire patient monitor. Display refers to the physical display unit. Display Screen and Screen refer to everything you see on monitors display, such as measurements, alarms, patient data and so forth. Introducing the IntelliVue X2 The Philips IntelliVue X2 Multi-Measurement Module is a versatile patient monitoring device with a color touchscreen display. It can simultaneously monitor 3-, 5-, 6- or 10-lead ECG (including arrhythmia and ST monitoring), respiration, SpO2, NBP and either invasive pressure and temperature, or CO2. The X2 can be used in two ways:
As a Multi-Measurement Module (MMS) for the Philips IntelliVue family of patient monitors. As a stand-alone patient monitor. 9 2 Basic Operation Introducing the IntelliVue X2 In this book, the X2 is generally referred to as the monitor, except in situations describing its use with a host monitor, where it is referred to as the X2 to distinguish it from the host monitor. The monitor can be used with adult, pediatric and neonatal patients in a hospital environment and during patient transport both inside and outside hospitals. The monitor stores data in trend databases. You can see tabular trends (vital signs) and document them on a central printer. You can view measurement trend graphs, including horizon trends, to help you identify changes in the patients physiological condition. The X2 can run on one of three power sources: a rechargeable battery, a host monitor when connected to the X2, or the optional external power supply (M8023A). For battery charging, care and status information, refer to the chapter Using Batteries on page 221. X2 as Multi-Measurement Module You can connect the X2 to an IntelliVue patient monitor, where it acts as a Multi-Measurement Module (MMS), providing measurements, trends and patient information to the MP20/30, MP40/50 and MP60/70/80/90. You can connect the X2 to a host monitor via the MSL cable, or attach it directly to the host. When connected to a host monitor, the X2 takes power from the host, including that required for battery charging. The host controls the connected X2, including all alarm functionality. No alarms are available on the X2, and the alarm lamps are controlled by the host. You can recognize when an X2 is connected to a host monitor by the following indication on the X2 screen (white text on a blue background):
Companion Mode No Alarm Display X2 as Stand-alone Monitor You can use the X2 as a stand-alone, highly portable monitor. In stand-alone mode, you can run the monitor from the rechargeable battery, or from mains power using the optional external power supply. Through networking it provides information integration, documentation and information access. Continuous Monitoring Combining its role as MMS with that of stand-alone monitor, the X2 is particularly suited to transport situations. When the X2 is disconnected from the original host monitor, it continues to monitor the patient as a stand-alone monitor running on battery power, eliminating the need for a separate transport monitor. When the X2 is connected to a new host monitor, it resumes its role as MMS, uploading trend data, patient demographic information and measurement settings, and allowing fully continuous monitoring. 10 Controls, Indicators and Connectors 2 Basic Operation Controls, Indicators and Connectors X2 Overview 1 2 4 5 6 3 3 2 4 1 8 6 5 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 On/Standby Switch Power and battery indicators (see X2 Controls and Indicators on page 12) 3.5-inch TFT LCD touchscreen QVGA display Alarm lamps (see X2 Controls and Indicators on page 12) Battery eject button Keys (see X2 Controls and Indicators on page 12) Measurement connectors (see X2 Patient Connectors, Right Side on page 13) Battery 11 2 Basic Operation Controls, Indicators and Connectors 8 9 10 11 1 1 On/Standby switch.

These allow you to add specific measurements to those already integrated into your monitor. These measurement extensions are referred to as MMS extensions. MMS Extension M3014A attached to the X2 The MMS extensions connect to the monitor and use the monitors settings and power. Trend data and measurement settings from the measurements in the extensions are stored in the monitor. WARNING Measurements from a MMS extension are only available when the extension is connected to the X2, and the X2 is running on external power, either when connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A). Measurements from a MMS extension connected to the X2 are not available when the X2 is running on battery power. Any measurements on a MMS extension that conflict with those in the monitor cannot be used. For example, only one CO2 measurement is supported. To separate an extension from the monitor, press the release lever and push the extension forward. 14 Extending Measurements 2 Basic Operation M3014A, M3015A and M3016A Measurement Extensions When attached to an X2 connected to external power (either via the external power supply or a host monitor), the optional M3014A Capnography extension adds mainstream capnography, and optionally one pressure plus either a pressure or a temperature to the monitor. When the X2 is connected to a host monitor, Cardiac Output (C.O.) measurements can be performed and can be used to calibrate Continuous Cardiac Output (CCO). These stored C.O. results and the calibrated CCO measurement are still available in the X2 when it is disconnected from the host monitor. The optional M3015A Microstream CO2 extension adds microstream capnography and optionally either pressure or temperature to the monitor. The optional M3016A Mainstream CO2 extension adds mainstream capnography and optionally either pressure or temperature to the monitor. Only one CO2 measurement at a time is supported.

These are always displayed at the top of the screen. The main measurement numeric and wave (if applicable) are shown in this window so that you do not lose sight of the current measurement while making changes in the menu. Status/prompt messages related to the measurement menu are displayed below the wave/numerics. General status/prompt messages on the main screen are covered by the measurement setup menu. The menu may have more than one page, as shown here. Move to another page by touching these arrows. Each button has two lines of text. To perform an operation on a measurement, press one of the buttons. Some buttons lead directly to a task. For example, pressing the Start/Stop button for noninvasive blood pressure starts a measurement. Other buttons open a pop-up window, which can have more than one page, from which you make a selection. Again, using noninvasive blood pressure as an example, pressing the Repeat Time button for setting the repetition time opens a pop-
up window from which you pick a time, scrolling if necessary. Main Setup Menu There is usually more than one way to enter a setup menu for a measurement, to change a setting or to execute a task. Some routes are more direct than others. You can use whichever method you find most convenient. Which routes are available to you, however, can vary depending on your monitors configuration. For this reason, this book generally describes entry to a measurements setup menu via the Main Setup menu, as this route is always available and is not subject to configuration dependencies. You can get to all setup windows from the Main Setup menu. You enter the Main Setup menu by pressing the SmartKeys key, then selecting the Main Setup SmartKey. Main Setup menu From here you can get to all setup menus SmartKeys A SmartKey is a configurable graphical key on the screen allowing fast access to frequently used functions.

Select the Main Setup menu. Select Operating Modes and choose the mode you require. Your monitor has four operating modes. Some are passcode protected. Monitoring Mode: This is the normal, every day working mode that you use for monitoring patients. You can change elements such as alarm limits, patient category and so forth. When you discharge the patient, these elements return to their default values. Changes can be stored permanently only in Configuration Mode. You may see items, such as some menu options or the altitude setting, that are visible but grayed out so that you can neither select nor change them. These are for your information and can be changed only in Configuration Mode. Demonstration Mode: Passcode protected, this is for demonstration purposes only. You must not change into Demonstration Mode during monitoring. In Demonstration Mode, all stored trend information is deleted from the monitors memory. Configuration Mode: Passcode protected, this mode is for personnel trained in configuration tasks. These tasks are described in the Configuration Guide. During installation the monitor is configured for use in your environment. This configuration defines the default settings you work with when you switch on, the number of waves you see and so forth. Service Mode: Passcode protected, this is for trained service personnel. Config When the monitor is in Demonstration Mode, Configuration Mode, or Service Mode, this is indicated by a box with the mode name in the center of the Screen and a symbol in the bottom right-hand corner. Select this field to change to a different mode. When an X2 is connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated):
The X2 will adopt the operating mode of the host monitor:
You cannot change the operating mode at the X2. Standby Mode Standby mode can be used when you want to temporarily interrupt monitoring. To enter Standby mode, 1 2 Press the SmartKeys key Either select the Monitor Standby SmartKey Or select the Main Setup SmartKey, then select Monitor Standby. The Standby screen looks like this:
23 2 Basic Operation Understanding Screens STANDBY Press any key or select any field on the screen to resume monitoring The monitor enters Standby mode automatically after the End Case function is used to discharge a patient. Standby suspends patient monitoring. All waves and numerics disappear from the display but all settings and patient data information are retained. A special Standby screen is displayed. If a patient location is entered at the Information Center, this will also be displayed on the Standby screen (availability depends on Information Center revision, applies to stand-alone monitor only). To resume monitoring, Select anything on the screen or press any key. When the X2 is on (not in Standby) and is connected to a host monitor in Standby mode, the host monitor will turn on. When the X2 and the host monitor are both in Standby:
Operating the X2 will make the host monitor turn on. The X2 will switch off when disconnected from the host monitor. If the host monitor loses AC mains power, the X2 will switch off. Understanding Screens Your monitor comes with a set of pre-configured Screens, optimized for common monitoring scenarios. A Screen defines the overall selection, size and position of waves and numerics on the monitor screen when you switch on. You can easily switch between different Screens during monitoring. Screens do NOT affect alarm settings, patient category and so forth. Switching to a Different Screen To switch to a different Screen:
1 After closing any open menus or windows, press the Main Screen key to access the Change 2 Choose the new Screen from the Change Screens menu. Screens menu. 24 Using the XDS Remote Display 2 Basic Operation Changing a Screens Content If you do not want to change the entire Screen content, but only some parts of it, you can substitute individual waves, numerics, or trends. Be aware that these changes cannot be stored permanently in Monitoring Mode. To change the selection of elements on a Screen, 1 2 Select the element you want to change. For example, touch the wave to enter the wave setup menu, or touch the numeric to enter the numeric setup menu. From the menu that appears, select Change Wave or Change Numeric, and then select the wave or numeric you want. 1 Wave B 1 Big Wave Change Screen In the Change Screen menu, the changed Screen is shown linked to the original Screen and marked with an asterisk. Up to three modified Screens can be accessed via the Change Screen menu. To recall Screens, select the name of the Screen in the Change Screen menu After a patient discharge, the monitors default Screen is shown. Modified Screens are still available in the Change Screen menu. If the monitor is switched off and then on again, modified Screens are erased from the monitors memory and cannot be recalled. If a modified Screen was the last active Screen when the monitor was switched off, it is retained (unless Automat. Default is set to Yes in Configuration Mode). Vital Signs B 2 Waves A 2 Waves B Using the XDS Remote Display Using the IntelliVue XDS solution it is possible to view an independent monitor screen on an external display. The XDS solution consists of a medical grade PC-based hardware platform, XDS application software and the XDS connectivity option on the monitor. Depending on the configuration you can also operate the monitor from the external display. The XDS must be connected to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the monitor. It is also possible to use an existing PC, connected to the same LAN, to host the XDS Application software. For more details, including limitations and restrictions, refer to the Instructions for Use for the XDS Application. Using the Visitor Screen If a visitor Screen is configured for your monitor, you can use it to clear the screen of all waves and numerics but continue to monitor the patient with active alarms and trend storage at the bedside and Information Center. You can change the name of the visitor Screen in Configuration Mode. To activate this Screen, 25 2 Basic Operation Understanding Profiles Press the Main Screen key to open the Change Screen menu. Select the name of the visitor Screen configured for your monitor from the list of available Screens. 1 2 To select a Screen with waves and numerics again, Touch the gray rectangle in the center of the screen showing the visitor Screens name, or press the Main Screen key, to open the Change Screen menu and then select a Screen from the list. Understanding Profiles Profiles are predefined monitor configurations. They let you change the configuration of the whole monitor so you can adapt it to different monitoring situations. The changes that occur when you change a complete profile are more far reaching than those made when you change a Screen. Screens affect only what is shown on the display. Profiles affect all monitor and measurement settings. The settings that are defined by Profiles are grouped into three categories. Each category offers a choice of settings blocks customized for specific monitoring situations. These categories are:
Display (screens) Each profile can have a choice of many different predefined screens. When you change the profile, the screen selection configured for the new profile becomes active. Measurement Settings Each profile can have a choice of different predefined measurement settings. These relate directly to individual measurements, for example, measurement on/off, measurement color, alarms limits, NBP alarm source, NBP repeat time, temperature unit (oF or oC) pressure unit (mmHg or kPa). Monitor Settings Each profile can have a choice of different predefined monitor settings. These relate to the monitor as a whole; for example, display brightness, alarms off/paused, alarm volume, QRS tone volume, tone modulation, prompt tone volume, wave speed, resp wave speed, pulse source.

Changes you make to any element within the settings blocks are not saved when you discharge the patient, unless you save them in Configuration Mode. Depending on your monitor configuration, when you switch on or discharge a patient the monitor either continues with the previous profile, or resets to the default profile configured for that monitor. WARNING If you switch to a different profile, the patient category and paced status normally change to the setting specified in the new profile. However some profiles may be setup to leave the patient category and paced status unchanged. Always check the patient category, paced status, and all alarms and settings, when you change profiles. When you leave Demonstration Mode, the monitor uses the default profile. 1 Swapping a Complete Profile Press the SmartKeys key and Either select Main Setup and then Profiles in the Setup menu. Or select the Profiles SmartKey In the Profiles menu, select Profile. 2 3 Chose a profile from the pop-up list. 4 Confirm your selection. Swapping a Settings Block 1 2 Select the Main Setup SmartKey and then Profiles in the Main Setup menu, or select the Profiles SmartKey. In the Profiles menu, select Display or Measmnt. Settings or Monitor Settings to call up a list of the settings blocks in each category. 3 Choose a settings block from the pop-up list. 4 Confirm your selection. Default Profile Your monitor has a default profile that it uses when you leave Demonstration, or Service modes, or when you discharge a patient. This profile is indicated by a diamond
. Locked Profiles Some profiles are locked, so that you cannot change them, even in Configuration Mode. These are indicated by this lock symbol. 27 2 Basic Operation Understanding Settings Understanding Settings Each aspect of how the monitor works and looks is defined by a setting. There are a number of different categories of settings, including, Screen Settings, to define the selection and appearance of elements on each individual Screen Measurement settings, to define settings unique to each measurement, for example, high and low alarm limits Monitor settings, including settings that affect more than one measurement or Screen and define general aspects of how the monitor works, for example, alarm volume, reports and recordings, and display brightness. You must be aware that, although many settings can be changed in Monitoring Mode, permanent changes to settings can only be done in the monitors Configuration Mode. All settings are reset to the stored defaults:
when you discharge a patient when you load a Profile when the monitor is switched off for more than one minute (if Automat. Default is set to Yes). Changing Measurement Settings Each measurement has a setup menu in which you can adjust all of its settings. You can enter a setup menu:
via the measurement numeric - select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu. For example, to enter the Setup ECG menu, select the HR (heart rate) numeric. via the Main Setup SmartKey - if you want to setup a measurement when the measurement is switched off, use the Main Setup SmartKey and select Measurements. Then select the measurement name from the popup list. With this permanent key you can access any setup menu in the monitor. via the Measurement Selection key. Switching a Measurement On and Off When a measurement is off, its waves and numerics are removed from the monitors screen. The monitor stops data acquisition and alarming for this measurement. 1 Enter the measurements setup menu and select the measurement. 2 Select the measurement name to toggle between on and off. The screen display indicates the active setting. Adjusting a Measurement Wave To quickly adjust wave-related measurement settings (such as speed or size), select the measurement wave itself. This displays the measurement Wave menu, which has only wave-related measurement settings. 28 Using Labels 2 Basic Operation Changing Wave Speeds Lowering the wave speed compresses the wave and lets you view a longer time period. Increasing the speed expands the waveform, giving you a more detailed view. The monitor distinguishes two groups of wave speed settings, RespiratorySpeed, for CO2 waves. Global Speed, for all waves not included in the other group. Changing the Wave Group Speed 1 The wave speed group setting defines the speed of all the waves in the group. To change the wave speed of a wave speed group, Select Main Setup -> User Interface Select Global Speed or RespiratorySpeed, as required Select a value from the list of available speeds. 2 3 Changing Wave Speed for a Channel Select Change Speed. To change the wave speed of an individual wave channel, 1 Enter the Wave menu for a measurement by selecting its wave. 2 3 To set the speed to the wave group speed, select RespiratorySpeed or Global Speed. To set an individual channel speed, select a numeric value from the list of available speeds. This overrides the wave group speed setting and sets the speed for the individual wave channel on the monitor Screen. The wave channel speed is independent of the wave (label) depicted in the channel, if you change the wave, the new wave will retain the set channel speed. Using Labels You can measure up to three invasive pressures and temperatures simultaneously. The monitor uses labels to distinguish between them. The default settings defined in the profile (such as measurement color, wave scale, and alarm settings) are stored within each label. When you assign a label to a measurement, the monitor automatically applies these default settings to the measurement. The labels assigned are used throughout the monitor, in reports, recordings, and in trends. Changing Measurement Labels (e.g. Pressure) To change a measurement label of a measurement with multiple labels (invasive pressure or temperature), 1 Enter the Wave menu of the measurement. 2 Select Label. 3 Choose a label from the list. The monitor automatically applies the scale, color, etc. settings stored in the Profile for the label you select. You can change scale settings in Monitoring Mode, but color can only be changed in the monitors Configuration Mode. 29 2 Basic Operation Using Labels Any labels already being used in the monitor are shown grayed-out in the list and cannot be selected. Resolving Label Conflicts Each label must be unique, that is, it can only be assigned once. If you have a MMS Extension equipped with a pressure measurement connected to the monitor, there is a potential conflict with, for example, the ABP label. If you manually enter measurement values these may also conflict with existing labels on the monitor. Depending on your configuration, the monitor will either display the Measurement Selection window automatically for you to resolve the conflict take no action, you must enter the Measurement Selection window and resolve the conflict measurement selection key All the currently available measurements are depicted in the Measurement Selection window. Any measurement labels causing a label conflict are shown in red. If a measurement is connected but currently unavailable, for example, because it was deactivated due to a label conflict, that measurement is shown grayed-out. If a MMS Extension is not available, for example if monitor is running on battery power and not an external power source, the MMS Extension is not displayed. PAP ZERO+CHECK CAL

Activate Setup SpO2 More On an X2 display, a MMS Extension is only shown in the Measurement Selection window when the X2 is connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A), and not when running on battery power. WARNING When an X2 with an active measurement, say SpO2, is connected to a host monitor with the same measurement already active, the SpO2 measurement on the X2 is deactivated and the SpO2 DEACTIVATED INOP is displayed. The measurement can only be reactivated if the X2 is disconnected from the host monitor. The label conflict can be resolved on the host monitor like any other label conflict. 30 Changing Monitor Settings 2 Basic Operation When the X2 is connected to a host monitor, the Measurement Selection window can be opened, but only the measurement Setup key is functional. Derived measurements are not active and cannot be activated, but become active again when the X2 is disconnected from the host monitor. Resolve any label conflicts at the host monitor. To resolve a label conflict when the X2 is not connected to a host monitor:
Press the SmartKeys key and Either select Main Setup and then Meas. Selection Or select the Meas. Select. SmartKey to display the Measurement Selection window. Select the label to be corrected. 1 2 3 Use the measurement selection keys to resolve the conflict. Select either:

It retains its label for future use but Setup <Measurement label>: to enter the Setup menu for the measurement and change becomes invisible to the monitor, as though it had been unplugged. the conflicting devices label to a different label. Select the De-activate pop-up key to disable the conflicting measurement. 4 Label Compatibility When a new measurement is introduced, or new labels for an existing measurement, these labels will not be shown on older Information Centers, and consequently not on the Overview screen sourced from the Information Center. When a patient is transferred from a monitor with these new labels to one with an older software revision, the labels will be replaced with a generic label for that measurement. The settings for that generic label will then be used. If it is critical that the measurement labels are available at the Information Center and after transfers, the older monitors and the Information Center must be upgraded to the appropriate software revision. Changing Monitor Settings To change monitor settings such as brightness, or QRS tone volume:

Or Select the appropriate SmartKey for the setting you want to change. Select the setting you Adjusting the Screen Brightness Select the Brightness SmartKey. 1 31 2 Basic Operation Checking Your Monitor Revision 2 Select the appropriate setting for the screen brightness. 10 is the brightest, 1 is the least bright. Optimum is suitable for most monitoring locations and optimizes power usage for battery powered monitors. Your monitor may be configured with a lower brightness for Standby mode and also for transport to conserve battery power. These settings can only be changed in the monitors Configuration Mode. Setting the Date and Time If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, the date and time are automatically taken from this. If the X2 is connected to a host monitor, the date and time are automatically synchronized with the host monitor. When connected to a host monitor, you cannot set the date and time on the X2. Once it is set, the internal clock retains the setting even when you switch off the monitor. In the Main Setup menu, select Date, Time. Select, in turn, the Year, Month, Day, Hour (in 24 hour format, only) and Minute as necessary. Select the correct values from the pop-up list. Select Store Date, Time to change the date and time. 1 2 3 Checking Your Monitor Revision 1 2 3 Select Main Setup -> Revision to open the Monitor Revision menu. Select the correct device from the device pop-up keys. From the Monitor Revision menu, select the monitor component for which you need revision information. Getting Started Once you understand the basic operation principles, you can get ready for monitoring. Inspecting the Monitor WARNING If the monitor is mechanically damaged, or if it is not working properly, do not use it for any monitoring procedure on a patient. Contact your service personnel. 1 Before you start to make measurements, carry out the following checks on the monitor. Check for any mechanical damage. Check all the external cables, plug-ins and accessories. 2 Always ensure that the battery is loaded in the battery compartment when monitoring a patient, even when the monitor is running on external power. 3 If you are using battery power, ensure that the battery has sufficient power for monitoring. Before using a battery for the first time, you must charge it, following the instructions given in the section on Charging Batteries. 32 Getting Started 2 Basic Operation 4 Measurements from measurement extensions attached to the monitor are only available when the monitor is operating from external power (when connected to a host monitor or to the external power supply). The measurement extensions are not active when the monitor is operating from battery power. 5 Check all the functions of the instrument that you need to monitor the patient, and ensure that the instrument is in good working order. Switching On Press the on/off switch on the monitor for one second. The monitor performs a self test and is then ready to use. If you see a message such as CO2 SENSOR WARMUP wait until it disappears before starting to monitor that measurement. When the X2 is connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated), note that the On/Off switch is disabled. Power On/Power Off Behavior The general rules determining the behavior of the monitor when connected to, or disconnected from power are as follows:
A monitor that was switched on prior to a temporary power loss switches on again when power is restored. A monitor that was switched off prior to a temporary power loss remains off when power is restored. When AC mains power is lost, a battery powered monitor continues to run without interruption on battery power. The X2 switches on automatically when connected to a running host monitor. When the X2 is disconnected from a running host monitor, it continues to run without interruption on battery power. Setting up the Measurements 1 Decide which measurements you want to make. 2 Connect the required patient cables and sensors. The connectors are color-coded to the patient cables and sensors for easy identification. WARNING When connecting devices for acquiring measurements, always position cables and tubing carefully to avoid entanglement or potential strangulation. Starting Monitoring After you switch on the monitor, 1 Admit your patient to the monitor. 2 Check that the profile, alarm limits, alarm and QRS volumes, patient category and paced status and so forth are appropriate for your patient. Change them if necessary. 3 Refer to the appropriate measurement section for details of how to perform the measurements you require. 33 2 Basic Operation Disconnecting from AC Mains Power Disconnecting from AC Mains Power To disconnect the X2 from AC mains power, disconnect the MSL cable, or detach the X2 from the host monitor (if directly connected) or unplug the power cord for the optional external power supply
(M8023A) from the mains socket. Monitoring After a Power Failure If external power is disconnected or there is a power failure, the monitor continues to run on its rechargeable battery. If the monitor is without any power (no external power or the battery is empty) for less than one minute, monitoring will resume with all active settings unchanged. If the monitor is without power for more than one minute, the behavior depends on your configuration. If Automat. Default is set to Yes, the default profile will be loaded when power is restored. If Automat. Default is set to No, all active settings are retained, if power is restored within 48 hours. The Automat. Default setting is made in Configuration Mode. Networked Monitoring You can connect your monitor to an Information Center on a network, using one of the optional interfaces:
Standard wired LAN Wireless LAN IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry System (IIT) WARNING Do not connect patient monitors to the standard hospital network. Additionally, when the X2 is equipped with an IIT interface and declared at the Information Center as a telemetry device, it allows data continuity when paired to a host monitor. After disconnection from the host monitor, it continues to monitor the patient during transport (or roaming within the specified area of coverage) and provides continuous data to the same sector on the Information Center. (See the Instructions for Use for your host monitor for viewing telemetry data on the host.) If your monitor is connected to a network, a network symbol is displayed in the upper left corner next to the bed label. To see details about the monitoring equipment and technical information about the network, select the Main Setup SmartKey to enter the Setup menu, then select Bed Information. Be aware that some network-based functions may be limited for monitors on wireless networks in comparison to those on wired networks. 34 Using the X2 with a Host Monitor (Companion Mode Indicated) 2 Basic Operation Using the X2 with a Host Monitor (Companion Mode Indicated) Host monitors that can support the X2 as a multi-measurement module require software revision F.00.00 or higher. When you connect an X2 to a host monitor, an integrated system is formed for monitoring a single patient. The following general observations and considerations apply to such a system:
The host monitor is the master of the system, and you have full control over all the systems operation only via the host monitor. Functions you can operate on an X2 are restricted to measurements originating in that device. If you try to operate controls that are disabled, you are prompted by the message Not available in Companion Mode. Depending on how it is configured, your host monitor can determine whether the user interface of a connected X2 is completely disabled or not, and what is displayed (a standard main screen, or a blank screen similar to the Standby screen indicating Companion Mode). This is controlled by two monitor settings that are applied to the X2 on connection. You can change the settings in Configuration Mode. General settings from the host monitor are applied to the X2 on connection. When disconnected from the host, the X2 applies its own general settings. No audible alarms are available on an X2 when connected to a host monitor. The only visual alarm indication is provided by the alarm lamps which are controlled by the host monitor. Alarms become active again as soon as the X2 is disconnected from the host monitor. The host monitor is the master of all ADT information. ADT operations on the X2 are disabled, and any pending actions on the X2 (for example, admit or end case) are cancelled. The date and time of the X2 is synchronized with that of the host monitor. Pairing When Connected to a Host Monitor
(Companion Mode Indicated) An X2 with an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface will be automatically paired when it is connected to a host monitor and it has been declared as a telemetry device at the Information Center. Pairing Without a Direct Connection When the X2 is declared as a telemetry device and has a connection to the Information Center, it can also be paired to a host monitor even without a direct connection:
1 Select Main Setup then Measurements Select Telemetry 2 The Setup Telemetry menu will appear with only one entry Paired Equipment. 3 Enter here the equipment label of the telemetry device to be paired. 35 2 Basic Operation Unpairing the Host Monitor and the Paired Device Unpairing the Host Monitor and the Paired Device If the patient will no longer be monitored with the paired X2, or only with the paired X2 and no longer with the host monitor, you need to end the device pairing. After unpairing, the Information Center will receive data exclusively from the host monitor or from the paired X2. At the host monitor:
Select the Main Setup -> Measurements - > Telemetry or the Unpair to Mon. SmartKey to end pairing and have the Information Center receive the measurement data from the host monitor Select the Main Setup -> Measurements - > Telemetry or Unpair to Tele SmartKey to end pairing and have the Information Center receive the measurement data from the paired X2 You can also use the Unpair function at the Information Center or directly on the paired X2. Capturing Alarm Reports and Printing You can print out standard reports, alarm reports and trends with the IntelliVue PC Printing Solution. This is a software package which allows you to print to a standard, off-the-shelf printer or to an electronic file such as PDF. You can download the IntelliVue PC Printing Solution free-of-charge from the Internet and install it on an existing PC. Capturing Alarm Reports The monitor can be set up to automatically capture alarm reports, triggered by selected alarms. The necessary settings must be made in Configuration mode. When one of the selected alarms occurs, the monitor automatically captures the alarm and creates a report which is stored in the database. As soon as the monitor is connected to a PC or network with the IntelliVue PC Printing Solution software, it will automatically print the reports, or send them to a patient-specific folder as an electronic file. 36 3 3Whats New?
This section lists the most important new features and improvements to the monitor and its user interface introduced with each release. Further information is provided in other sections of this book. You may not have all of these features, depending on the monitor configuration purchased by your hospital. Whats New in Release G.0?
Short Range Radio Interface for X2 A short range radio interface is now available for the X2 monitor. This allows a telemetry transceiver with a short range radio adapter to be assigned to the monitor, resulting in a direct connection. The measurement data from the telemetry transceiver appear directly on the monitor screen with a minimal delay and are combined with the monitor data in one sector at the Information Center. IntelliVue XDS Solution Using the IntelliVue XDS solution it is possible to view an independent monitor screen on an external display. The XDS solution consists of a medical grade PC-based hardware platform, XDS application software and the XDS connectivity option on the monitor. Depending on the configuration you can also operate the monitor from the external display. The XDS must be connected to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the monitor. It is also possible to use an existing PC, connected to the same LAN, to host the XDS Application software. New Fields in the Admission Form A Middle Name field is now available in the admission form - whether it appears is configurable. Two additional ID fields, Lifetime Id and Encounter Id, can also be configured to appear and their names can be customized to fit hospital requirements. SpO2 Enhancements Additional SpO2 Labels - SpO2pr and SpO2po labels have been added. New manual measurement mode when telemetry devices are connected via a short range radio link. Signal Quality Indicator displayed with the SpO2 numerics. ECG Enhancements New */**Afib yellow alarm when an atrial fibrillation waveform is detected. QT View window - shows current wave and baseline wave with Q and T points marked so that you can verify that the QT algorithm detects correct Q and T points. 37 3 Whats New?
Whats New in Release F.0?
Whats New in Release F.0?
QT/QTc Interval Monitoring QT interval monitoring is used to assist in the detection of prolonged QT interval syndrome. The QT interval is measured and the heart-rate corrected QT value, QTc, is calculated. The monitor also provides a 'QTc value which tracks variation in the QT interval in relation to a baseline value. High alarm limits can be set for QTc and 'QTc enabling alarm notification. Manual Data Entry Measurement values (for example lab data or manually measured temperatures) can be entered manually into the monitor and stored in the database. They can then be used for trends, reports and also be displayed as a numeric on screen, if required. Horizon Trend Enhancements The trend indicator arrow indicates how the patient trend has developed in a set time period. This period is now configurable and can be set to 10 minutes, 5 minutes or 2 minutes. The horizon (or baseline) can now be set to a range or to a specific value. Connecting an MP5 to a Monitor (Companion Mode is indicated) The MP5 monitor can be connected to one of the MP20 to MP90 monitors (then called the host monitor) and used like an MMS. This provides monitoring continuity in transport situations allowing measurement data and patient demographics from the MP5 to be transferred to another monitor. When the MP5 is connected to a host monitor, no alarms will be announced on the MP5. NBP - Programmable Measurement Sequence Up to four measurement cycles can be set up which will run consecutively. For each cycle you can set the number of measurements and the interval between them. By setting the last cycle to run continuously you can have regular measurements continue after the sequence has run. New Printing Options For Reports Reports can now also be printed via an external PC-based print server or to an internal print database, when no printer is available (for example, during transport). As soon as a printer becomes available, the reports stored in the database will print automatically. Manual Pairing At Monitor Previously, devices could only be manually paired at the Information Center. You can now pair devices at the monitor as long as the monitor is already connected to the Information Center. Moving Windows And Menus Windows and menus can now be moved on the monitor screen. Using touch or a mouse you can select the title of a window and then drag it across the screen. Some positions on the screen are not allowed, such as ones overlapping the alarm field or the monitor info line. Invasive Pressure Changes Wave cursor - A cursor is now available on the realtime pressure wave to allow you to define a position and store the corresponding value. Reduced alarm limit steps in lower ranges - The alarm limits setting in 2 mmHg steps is now possible in ranges up to 50 mmHg (previously up to 30 mmHg). 38 Whats New in Release F.0?
3 Whats New?
New Patient Check The monitor can be configured to ask you in certain situations: after a specified power-off period, after a specified standby period and when no basic vitals (HR, RR, Pulse, SpO2, NBP) have been measured for a specified period, whether a new patient is now being monitored. By selecting the Yes pop-up key you can discharge the previous patient and reset settings. New Smart Keys A SmartKey is available for New Lead Setup when a new ECG lead set with fewer leads than previously is being used. Better Visibility Of Gridlines The brightness of the gridlines on the realtime waves has been increased for better visibility. 39 3 Whats New?

40 4 4Alarms The alarm information here applies to all measurements. Measurement-specific alarm information is discussed in the sections on individual measurements. The monitor has two different types of alarm: patient alarms and INOPs. Patient Alarms are red and yellow alarms. A red alarm indicates a high priority patient alarm such as a potentially life threatening situation (for example, asystole). A yellow alarm indicates a lower priority patient alarm (for example, a respiration alarm limit violation). Additionally there are short yellow alarms, most of which are specific to arrhythmia-related patient conditions (for example, ventricular bigeminy). INOPs are technical alarms, they indicate that the monitor cannot measure or detect alarm conditions reliably. If an INOP interrupts monitoring and alarm detection (for example, LEADS OFF), the monitor places a question mark in place of the measurement numeric and an audible indicator tone will be sounded. INOPs without this audible indicator indicate that there may a problem with the reliability of the data, but that monitoring is not interrupted. Most INOPs are light blue, however there are a small number of INOPS which are always yellow or red to indicate a severity corresponding to red and yellow alarms. The following INOPs can also be configured as red or yellow INOPs to provide a severity indication:
ECG LEADS OFF ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF (yellow only, no red INOP) CUFF OVERPRESS CUFF NOT DEFLATED OCCLUSION TELE DISCONNECT. Replace TeleBatt All monitors in a unit should have the same severity configured for these INOPs. Alarms are indicated after the alarm delay time. This is made up of the system delay time plus the trigger delay time for the individual measurement. See the specifications section for details. If more than one alarm is active, the alarm messages are shown in the alarm status area in succession. An arrow symbol next to the alarm message informs you that more than one message is active. n** HR HIGH 41 4 Alarms Visual Alarm Indicators The monitor sounds an audible indicator for the highest priority alarm. If more than one alarm condition is active in the same measurement, the monitor announces the most severe. Your monitor may be configured to increase alarm indicator volume automatically during the time when the alarm is not acknowledged. Visual Alarm Indicators WARNING No alarms are available on the X2 when connected to a host monitor. Alarms become active again as soon as the X2 is disconnected from the host monitor. Alarm fields and other visual alarm indicators are disabled on the X2 when connected to a host monitor. The only visual alarm indication is provided by the alarm lamps, which are controlled by the host monitor. No Alarm Display is shown in the field for red/yellow alarms, and Companion Mode is shown in the INOP field. Companion Mode No Alarm Display Alarm message: An alarm message text appears in the alarm status area at the top of the screen indicating the source of the alarm. There is a field for INOPs (light blue, red or yellow) and a field for patient alarms, which is shared for red and yellow alarms. If more than one measurement is in an alarm condition, the message changes every two seconds, and has an arrow (
yellow alarm conditions are active simultaneously, they alternate every two seconds in the patient alarms field. The background color of the alarm message matches the alarm priority: red for red alarms, yellow for yellow alarms, light blue for standard INOPs, red for red INOPs and yellow for yellow INOPs. The asterisk symbols (*) beside the alarm message match the alarm priority: *** for red alarms,
** for yellow alarms, * for short yellow alarms. Standard INOPs do not have a symbol, red and yellow INOPs have exclamation marks beside the alarm message: !!! for red INOPs and !! for yellow INOPs. Depending on how your monitor is configured, it may display alarm limit violation messages in text form, for example **SpO2 LOW or in numeric form, for example **SpO2 94<96, where the first number shows the maximum
) at the side. If both red and deviation from the alarm limit, and the second number shows the currently set limit. Flashing numeric: The numeric of the measurement in alarm flashes. Bright alarm limits: If the alarm was triggered by an alarm limit violation, the corresponding alarm limit on the monitor screen is shown more brightly if Show AlarmLimits is enabled and there is sufficient room on the screen. Alarm lamp: A lamp on the monitors front panel flashes. The alarm lamp is divided into two sections. The right one flashes for a patient alarm, except for short yellow alarms where the lamp will light for approximately six seconds. The color is yellow or red corresponding to the highest priority patient alarm currently present. The left one lights continuously for a light blue INOP and flashes for yellow or red INOPs as follows:
42 Audible Alarm Indicators 4 Alarms INOP Lamp Color Yellow Red Modulation (how long the lamp is on or off while flashing) On 1.0 seconds 0.25 seconds Off 1.0 seconds 0.25 seconds If only patient alarms are present, and no INOPs, the patient alarms will use both left and right sections to flash (for red and yellow alarms) or light for approximately six seconds (for short yellow alarms). If only INOPs are present, and no patient alarms, red and yellow INOPs will use both left and right sections to flash but light blue INOPs will always light continuously in the left section only. Audible Alarm Indicators The audible alarm indicators configured for your monitor depend on which alarm standard applies in your hospital. Audible alarm indicator patterns are repeated until you acknowledge the alarm by switching it off or pausing it, or until the alarm condition ceases (if audible alarm indication is set to non-latching). WARNING Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level or off during patient monitoring may result in patient danger. Remember that the most reliable method of patient monitoring combines close personal surveillance with correct operation of monitoring equipment. No alarms are available on the X2 when connected to a host monitor. (Companion Mode is indicated). Alarms become active again as soon as the X2 is disconnected from the host monitor. When connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated), no alarm tones are available on the X2. Alarm Tone Configuration The audible alarm indicators of your monitor are configurable. In the monitors Configuration Mode, you can:
increase the alarm volume of unacknowledged alarms at regular intervals change the interval between alarm sounds (ISO/IEC Standard alarms only) change the base volume of the red and yellow alarm tones and the INOP tones change the alarm sound to suit the different alarm standards valid in different countries. Traditional Audible Alarms (HP/Agilent/Philips/Carenet) Red alarms and red INOPs: A high pitched sound is repeated once a second. Two-star yellow alarms and yellow INOPs: A lower pitched sound is repeated every two seconds. One-star yellow alarms (short yellow alarms): The audible indicator is the same as for yellow alarms, but of shorter duration. Standard INOPs: an INOP tone is repeated every two seconds. 43 4 Alarms Acknowledging Alarms ISO/IEC Standard Audible Alarms Red alarms and red INOPs: A high pitched tone is repeated five times, followed by a configurable pause. Two-star yellow alarms and yellow INOPs: A lower pitched tone is repeated three times, followed by a configurable pause. One-star yellow alarms (short yellow alarms): The audible indicator is the same as for yellow alarms, but of shorter duration. Standard INOPs: a lower pitched tone is repeated twice, followed by a pause. Changing the Alarm Tone Volume If you want to see a numerical indication of the current alarm volume on a scale from zero to 10, or change the setting, select the Alarm Volume SmartKey. The volume scale pops up. The current setting is indented. To change the setting, select the required number on the scale. Any settings that are inactive (grayed out) have been disabled in the monitors Configuration Mode. Alarm Volume When the alarm volume is set to zero (off), the alarm volume symbol reflects this. If you switch the alarm volume off, you will not get any audible indication of alarm conditions. There is no alarm volume indication on the X2 display when the X2 is connected to a host monitor
(Companion Mode is indicated). Minimum Volume for No Central Monitoring INOP If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, and the connection is interrupted, the INOP message No Central Monit. will appear within 30 seconds, accompanied by an INOP tone. To help ensure that this INOP, and any other active alarm, is not overlooked, the INOP and alarm tones may be configured to have a minimum volume. In this case, INOP and alarm tones will sound even if the monitor alarm volume is set to zero. Minimum Volume for Severe Yellow or Red INOPs Severe yellow or red INOPs require action to ensure the well-being of the patient. Therefore the minimum volume for the INOP tone is set to at least alarm volume 8, irrespective of the current alarm volume setting. The INOP tone will sound even if the monitor alarm volume is set to zero. The severe INOPs for which this applies are:
Cuff Not Deflated (configurable to yellow or red) NBP Cuff Overpress (configurable to yellow or red) Insert Battery (yellow) Acknowledging Alarms 44 Pausing or Switching Off Alarms 4 Alarms To acknowledge all active alarms and INOPs, press the Silence key. This switches off the audible alarm indicators and alarm lamps. A check mark beside the alarm message indicates that the alarm has been acknowledged. If the monitor is configured to re-alarm, a dashed check mark will be shown. If the condition that triggered the alarm is still present after the alarm has been acknowledged, the alarm message stays on the screen with a check mark symbol beside it, except for NBP alarms. When an NBP alarm is acknowledged the alarm message disappears. If the alarm condition is no longer present, all alarm indicators stop and the alarm is reset. Switching off the alarms for the measurement in alarm, or switching off the measurement itself, also stops alarm indication. APNEA Acknowledging Disconnect INOPs Acknowledging an INOP that results from a disconnected transducer switches off the associated measurement. The only exception is ECG/Resp: acknowledging a disconnect INOP for ECG leads does not switch off the ECG and Resp measurements. Acknowledging a disconnect INOP at the Information Center switches off the audible INOP indicator but does not switch off the measurement. Alarm Reminder (ReAlarm) If Alarm Reminder is configured on for your monitor, you will get an audible reminder of alarm conditions that remain active after you have acknowledged the alarm. This reminder may take the form of a repetition of the alarm tone for a limited time, or an unlimited repetition of the alarm tone (this is the same as a new alarm). Alarm reminder is not available for standard, light blue INOPs but for yellow and red INOPs. In Configuration Mode, you can set the interval between silencing the alarm and sounding the reminder tone to one, two, or three minutes. The alarm reminder behavior at the Information Center is different to that at the monitor. Refer to the Information Center Instructions for Use for further information. Pausing or Switching Off Alarms If you want to temporarily prevent alarms from sounding, for example while you are moving a patient, you can pause alarms. Depending on your monitor configuration, alarms are paused for one, two, or three minutes, or infinitely. To view the alarm pause setting chosen for your unit, Select Main Setup -> Alarms -> Alarm Settings 1 2 Check the Alarms Off setting. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. To avoid the possibility that alarms could be switched off by accident, it is recommended not to configure the alarm pause setting to infinite when the X2 is not connected to a host monitor, unless you are sure that clinical personnel are available to supervise the patient. 45 4 Alarms Pausing or Switching Off Alarms To Pause All Alarms Press the Alarms key. If your monitor is configured to infinite pause time, the lamp next to the alarms off symbol is red, and pressing this key switches alarms off. Depending on the configuration, you may need to select Confirm to complete the change. To Switch All Alarms Off You can only switch alarms off permanently if your monitor is configured to allow infinite alarms pause. Alarms Off Press the Alarms key. Pausing alarms infinitely is the same as switching them off. To Switch Individual Measurement Alarms On or Off 1 2 Select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu. Select Alarms to toggle between On and Off. The alarms off symbol is shown beside the measurement numeric. While Alarms are Paused or Off The red Alarms Paused lamp on the monitor front panel is lit. In the alarm field, the monitor displays the message ALARMS PAUSED or ALARMS OFF, together with the alarms paused symbol and the remaining pause time in minutes and seconds, or alarms off symbol. No alarms are sounded and no alarm messages are shown. INOP messages are shown but no INOP tones are ALARMS PAUSED 1:28 ALARMS OFF sounded. The only exceptions are the INOPs CUFF NOT DEFLATED, CUFF OVERPRESS and INOPs relating to empty, missing and malfunctioning batteries. These INOPs switch the alarms on, and the INOP tones are sounded, even if alarms are paused or off. You need to remove the INOP condition first before you can switch the alarm tones off again. 46 Alarm Limits 4 Alarms If a NO SENSOR or NO TRANSDUCER INOP is present and alarms are paused or switched off, the measurement in question is switched off. The alarms off symbol is not displayed when the X2 is connected to a host monitor. Restarting Paused Alarms To manually switch on alarm indication again after a pause, press the Alarms key again. Alarm indication starts again automatically after the pause period expires. If the monitor is configured to stay paused infinitely, you must select ALARMS OFF again to restart alarm indication. Resetting Arrhythmia Alarm Timeouts To reset the arrhythmia alarm timeout period, press the Alarms key and then press it again. Extending the Alarm Pause Time If your monitor has extended alarm pause enabled, you can extend the alarm pause time. Use this to prevent alarms being indicated, for example, while you are washing a patient or carrying out a procedure. Only extend the alarm pause time when you are sure that clinical personnel are available to monitor the patients condition closely. To extend the alarm pause time to five or 10 minutes, Select one of the alarm fields. This calls up the Review Alarms window. Select either the pop-up key Pause Al. 5 min or the pop-up key Pause Al. 10 min. Each time you select one of these pop-up keys, the Alarm Pause Time is reset to five (or 10) minutes. 1 2 Alarm Limits The alarm limits you set determine the conditions that trigger yellow and red limit alarms. For some measurements (for example, SpO2), where the value ranges from 100 to 0, setting the high alarm limit to 100 switches the high alarm off. In these cases, the alarms off symbol is not displayed. WARNING Be aware that the monitors in your care area may each have different alarm settings, to suit different patients. Always check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient before you start monitoring. Viewing Individual Alarm Limits 85120 HR 50 Alarm limits You can usually see the alarm limits set for each measurement next to the measurement numeric on the main screen. If your monitor is not configured to show the alarm limits next to the numeric, you can see them in the appropriate measurement setup menu. Select the measurement numeric to enter the menu and check the limits. 47 4 Alarms Alarm Limits Viewing All Alarm Limits The Alarm Limits overview window lists the currently set alarm limits for all measurements. If an Apnea alarm delay time is set, this is also shown. The ALARMS OFF symbol is shown beside the measurement label of any measurement whose alarm switched off. To open the Alarm Limits window, either select one of the alarm fields then select the Alarm Limits pop-up key, or select the Alarm Limits SmartKey, if configured. 1 Alarm Limits Off 2

Select a limit from the list. Repeat to set the low yellow alarm field. If you set the yellow alarm limit outside the red alarm limit, the monitor will automatically set the red alarm to the yellow alarm limit. When an ST measurement is in the Change Limits window there are also two pop-up keys available labeled All ST Narrow/All ST Wide. With these keys you can set Auto Limits for all ST Leads. About Automatic Alarm Limits (AutoLimits) The monitor can automatically set alarm limits suited to your individual patient, using the Automatic Alarm Limits function. This tells the monitor to adapt the alarm limits of selected measurements to the measured vital signs within a defined safe limit. The monitor calculates safe AutoLimits for each patient based on the measured values from the last 12 seconds. The wide and narrow limits have a fixed relationship to the measured value within the non-
pathological range. Outside of this range, no auto limits are calculated. To set values outside of the non-pathological range, limits must be changed manually, based on the clinicians judgement about the specific patient. 3 1 2 2 1 4 Wide alarm limits Narrow alarm limits Alarm Limits Measurement value 1 2 3 4 Limits Narrow sets limits close to the currently measured values for situations where it is critical for you to be informed about small changes in your patients vital signs. Limits Wide sets limits further away from the currently measured values for situations where small changes are not so critical. Use the keys in the Change Limits window to apply AutoLimits for individual measurements. These keys are not available if AutoLimits have been disabled for the measurement in the monitors Configuration Mode. 50 Reviewing Alarms 4 Alarms AutoLimits are not available for all measurements. The list of measurements for which AutoLimits can be used is defined in the monitors Configuration mode. Use the Change Limits window to check AutoLimits before you apply them to ensure that they are appropriate for your individual patient and their clinical condition. Once applied, AutoLimits are shown on the monitor screen just like manually-set alarm limits. If the AutoLimits are not appropriate for your patient, you must set alarm limits manually. The limits remain unchanged until you set them again or change them manually. Documenting Alarm Limits To print a list of all current alarm limit settings on an available printer:
Select the Main Setup SmartKey. Select Reports from the Main Setup menu. Select Alarm Limits. 1 2 3 Reviewing Alarms You can see which alarms and INOPs are currently active in the respective alarms and INOPs fields at the top of the screen. To review the history of alarms and INOPs, select the alarms or INOPs field to open the Review Alarms window. All alarms and INOPs are erased from the Review Alarms window when you discharge a patient, or if you change to Demonstration Mode.

Alarms can be reviewed on the host monitor. When you select an item from the list, you can get additional information about that item. If you select a high or low limit alarm in the list, the Graphical Trends window will open to provide further data. If you select an alert other than a high or low alarm, a help text window opens with more information. Some items in the list are simply log items not related to a patient alert as such (for example, Alarms On or Alarms Off). You cannot see any further information if you select one of these items. When you close these windows you will return to the Review Alarms window. The information in the Review Alarms window is deleted when a patient is discharged, and when you leave Demonstration Mode. The Review Alarms window pop-up keys appear when the window is opened. If alarm pause extension is disabled, the pause pop-up keys are inactive. Alarm Limits Pause Al. 5 Min. Pause Al. 10 Min. Latching Alarms The alarm latching setting for your monitor defines how the alarm indicators behave when you do not acknowledge them. When alarms are set to non-latching, their indicators end when the alarm condition ends. Switching alarm latching on means that visual and/or audible alarm indications are still displayed or announced by the monitor after the alarm condition ends. The indication lasts until you acknowledge the alarm. Viewing the Alarm Latching Settings To see the alarm latching setting for your monitor 1 2 In the monitors Main Setup menu, select Alarms. Select Alarm Settings, and see the Visual Latching and Audible Latching settings. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. You should be aware of the settings chosen for your unit. There are three possible choices each for visual and audible latching, Red, Red and Yellow, and Off. These choices can be combined to give the following settings:
Visual Latching Audible latching R&Y R R&Y Off R&Y R&Y Off Off R Off R R R = red alarms, Y = yellow alarms 52 Testing Alarms 4 Alarms Alarm Latching Behavior Red and Yellow Measurement Alarms Non-latching alarms Visual and audible latching Visual latching, audible non-latching Alarm has not been acknowledged.

Audible and visual alarm indicators automatically stop. All INOPs are non-latching. See Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms on page 116 for information on one-star yellow alarms latching behavior. Testing Alarms When you switch the monitor on, a selftest is started. You must check that the alarms lamps light, one after the other, and that you hear a single tone. This indicates that the visible and audible alarm indicators are functioning correctly. For further testing of individual measurement alarms, perform the measurement on yourself (for example SpO2 or CO2) or use a simulator. Adjust alarm limits and check that appropriate alarm behavior is observed. Alarm Behavior at On/Off When you switch alarms on, the settings defined in the currently active Profile are used. If the monitor is switched off for longer than one minute and then switched on again, or after a loss of power lasting longer than one minute, or when a patient is discharged, the monitor can be configured to restore either the alarm settings from the monitor's configured default Profile, or the most recently used alarm settings. After any of these situations, you should check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient, and if necessary, select the correct Profile and patient category. If power is lost for less than one minute, the alarm settings prior to the power loss are restored. Alarm Recordings You can set up your monitor so that it automatically triggers alarm recordings at the Information Center, or if configured, to a printer as a realtime report. Press the Main Setup SmartKey. Select Alarms from the Main Setup menu. Select Alarm Recording from the Alarms menu to open the Alarm Recordings menu. Select a measurement from those listed for which you want to change the alarm condition that triggers an alarm recording. This opens a pop-up list. 1 2 3 4 53 4 Alarms Alarm Recordings 5 For the desired measurement(s), choose the alarm condition to trigger an alarm recording:
Red Only: an alarm recording will automatically be triggered when the measurement enters a red alarm condition. Red&Yell: both yellow and red alarms will trigger an alarm recording. Off: disables automatic alarm recording. Refer to the chapter Recording for details of how to set up a recording. 54 5 5Patient Alarms and INOPs This chapter lists patient alarms and technical alarms (INOPs) alphabetically, irrespective of their priority. INOPs start on page 61. All alarms and INOPs are listed here; the ones which can appear on your monitor will depend on the model and the individual options. Patient Alarm Messages The measurement labels and abbreviations for pressure, temperature, SpO2, and anesthetic agent alarms are explained in the individual chapters. Some alarms may be shown at the Information Center in shortened form, when transferred through IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry. These shortened alarm texts are included in the list and identified with the note at Information Center. Note that yellow arrhythmia alarms may be shown with one or with two stars, depending on your monitor configuration and the Information Center revision you are using.

If the INOP persists, contact your service personnel. The arrhythmia algorithm cannot reliably analyze the ECG data. Check the ECG signal quality of the selected primary and secondary leads. If necessary, improve lead position or reduce patient motion. If you have arrhythmia analysis on, and you are not getting a reliable HR because the signal is below a minimum amplitude, unstable, or contains artifact, and you have tried to improve the system performance by choosing another lead and changing electrodes, you should consider turning arrhythmia analysis off. The QT algorithm cannot generate a valid QT value for more than 10 minutes, or 1 minute in the initial phase. The ST algorithm cannot generate a valid ST value. Possible causes are large variations in the measured ST values for consecutive beats, or ventricular paced beats. Review the ECG signal quality and the ST measurement points. If the patient has a ventricular pacemaker, ST analysis is not possible. CCI cannot be calculated because the patient's body surface area is unknown. Enter the patient weight and height to provide the BSA for CCI calculation. The arterial pressure wave can currently not be used for pulse contour calculation for CCO or CCI measurement. Possible causes are air bubbles in the tubing or a physiological condition, for example severe arrhythmia. 64 Technical Alarm Messages (INOPs) 5 Patient Alarms and INOPs Source What to do INOP Message, Indication CCO NO <Pressure label>

(ADT) patients. All patient demographic and ADT information is shared between the patient monitor and the Information Center, for example, patients admitted to the monitor are automatically admitted to a connected Information Center. Note that when the X2 is connected to a host monitor, its ability to admit or discharge a patient is disabled, and the host monitor controls patient demographic and ADT information. Admitting a Patient The monitor displays physiological data and stores it in the trends as soon as a patient is connected. This lets you monitor a patient who is not yet admitted. It is however important to admit patients properly so that you can identify your patient on recordings, reports, and networked devices. During admission you enter data that the monitor needs for safe and accurate operation. For example, the patient category setting determines the algorithm the monitor uses to process and calculate some measurements, the safety limits that apply for some measurements, and the alarm limit ranges. NOTE It is strongly recommended that the same patient data fields be configured to be mandatory at the monitor and the Information Center. To admit a patient, 1 Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window. 85 6 Managing Patients Admitting a Patient SBed10 Adult Doe, John Patient Demographics Last Name

If you do not discharge the previous patient, you will not be able to distinguish data from the previous and current patients, for example, in the trend database. Select Admit Patient. 3 4 Enter the patient information: select each field and use the on-screen keyboard or choose from the pop-up list of alternatives to input information. Last Name: Enter the patients last name (family name), for example Smith. First Name: Enter the patients first name, for example Joseph. Middle Name (if configured to appear): Enter the patients middle name. Lifetime Id, Encounter Id: Whether these fields appear and how they are labelled can be configured for your hospital. One or both fields may be displayed and the labels may read:
MRN, Case Id, Visit Id, etc. Enter the appropriate data for the fields displayed. Patient Cat: Choose the patient category, either Adult, Pediatric, or Neonatal. Paced: Choose Yes or No (You must use Yes if your patient has a pacemaker). Height: Enter the patients height. Weight: Enter the patients weight. BSA: The monitor calculates the body surface area automatically. Date Of Birth: Enter the patients date of birth. Enter this in the form dd/mm/yyyy. Age: The monitor calculates the patient age automatically. Gender: Choose Male or Female. Notes: Enter any extra information about the patient or treatment. Select Confirm. The patient status changes to admitted. 5 Patient Category and Paced Status The patient category setting determines the algorithm the monitor uses to process and calculate some measurements, the safety limits that apply for some measurements, and the alarm limit ranges. The paced setting determines whether the monitor shows pacemaker pulses or not. When Paced is set to No, pace pulses are filtered and therefore do not show in the ECG wave. 86 Quick Admitting a Patient 6 Managing Patients WARNING Patient Category and Paced status will always contain a value, regardless of whether the patient is fully admitted or not. If you do not specify settings for these fields, the monitor uses the default settings from the current profile, which might not be correct for your patient. Patient category Changing the patient category may change the arrhythmia and NBP alarm limits. Always check alarm limits to make sure that they are appropriate for your patient. Paced status For paced patients, you must set Paced to Yes. If it is incorrectly set to No, the monitor could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm during asystole. Admitting a Centrally-Monitored Patient You can admit a patient at either the bedside or the Information Center. When you admit a patient, the patients name appears on the bedside monitor and the Information Center. If you do not fill in all patient information required by the Information Center, the Information Center may reject the admission. Complete all the required fields and try again to admit the patient. Quick Admitting a Patient Use Quick Admit only if you do not have the time or information to fully admit a patient. Complete the rest of the patient demographic details later. Select the Quick Admit SmartKey. 1 2 Enter the required data (ID fields or Last Name depending on configuration) with the keyboard. Select Enter. In the confirmation window, select Confirm to discharge the previous patient (if confirmation is configured). 3 4 5 Check that patient category and paced status are correct for the new patient. If the monitor is connected to an Information Center and only the ID field is entered, the patient name is set to - - - at the Information Center. Complete the rest of the demographic details as soon as possible to fully identify the patient on the network, on the monitor and on printed reports. To complete the details, select Admit Patient again and complete all required fields. Editing Patient Information To edit the patient information after a patient has been admitted, select the patient name field on the Main Screen to open the Patient Demographics window, and make the required changes. Discharging a Patient WARNING Always perform a discharge before starting monitoring for a new patient, even if your previous patient was not admitted. Failure to do so can lead to data being attributed to the wrong patient. A discharge:

This ensures that data from a previous patient are not mixed with data from the new patient. resets patient category and paced settings to the settings defined in the default Profile resets all monitor and measurement settings as well as the active Screen to the settings defined in the default Profile discharges the patient from the Information Center. 1 2 When a patient is discharged from the monitor or from an Information Center, all patient data is deleted. Make sure that you have printed out any required reports before discharging. Check that a functioning central printer is available before you use End Case. To discharge a patient, Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window and associated pop-up keys. Select the pop-up key for either:
End Case - to print any configured end case reports or vital signs recording, discharge the patient and clear the patient database, then enter standby mode. If an End Case SmartKey is configured for your monitor, you can also select this instead and then confirm. To see which end case reports are set up for your monitor, select Main Setup -> Reports ->
Auto Reports. For each auto report, if End Case Report is set to On, this report will be printed when you select End Case. See the section on AutoReports for information on setting up end case reports. Dischrge Patient - to discharge the patient without printing any reports. New Patient Check The monitor can be configured to ask you in certain situations:
after a specified power-off period after a specified standby period when no basic vitals (HR, RR, Pulse, SpO2, NBP) have been measured for a specified period whether a new patient is now being monitored. The pop-up window is entitled Is this a new Patient?. The monitor offers a Yes key to discharge the previous patient and begin monitoring a new patient and a No key to continue monitoring with the current patient data and settings. The time periods for the three conditions can be configured independently. Transferring Patients To save you from having to enter the same patient data multiple times and enable patient transfer without loss of data, patient demographic information is shared between patient monitors and Information Centers. 88 Transferring Patients 6 Managing Patients Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient WARNING Measurements from a MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on battery power. They are only available when the X2 is powered from AC mains, either when connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A). Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved to another monitoring location on the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information, using the X2 as both MMS and transport monitor. 1 Before you disconnect the X2 from the host monitor, select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrge SmartKey on the host monitor to open the Patient Demographics window, then select the Transfer pop-up key. If the patient is not admitted or not monitored by an Information Center, the Transfer key is inactive (grayed-out). This step preserves the patients demographic data during the transfer. 2 Remove the X2 and any connected extensions from the host monitor. 3 Move the patient using the X2 as the transport monitor. 4 At the new location, connect the X2 to the new host monitor. If the host monitor detects a patient mismatch, a window will open showing your patients data and asking Complete transfer of this patient?. Select Yes to complete the transfer.This re-admits the patient from the transfer list to the new monitor. This will upload the patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the X2 to the receiving host monitor. 5 6 Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct. Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient using IIT WARNING Measurements from a MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on battery power. They are only available when the X2 is running on external power, either when connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A). Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved with an X2 to another monitoring location on the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information. The X2 has an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface (IIT), is connected to a host monitor, and is declared as a telemetry device at the Information Center. NOTE The Transfer key is not available while the X2 is connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode is indicated). 1 Remove the X2 and any connected extensions from the host monitor. 2 Move the patient using the X2 as the transport monitor. 3 At the new location, just before connecting the X2 to the new host monitor:
open the Patient Demographics window. select the Transfer pop-up key. wait until the transfer has completed. 89 6 Managing Patients Transferring Patients 4 Connect the X2 to the new host monitor. The monitor detects a patient mismatch and a window will open showing your patients data and asking Complete transfer of this patient?. Select Yes to complete the transfer.This re-admits the patient from the transfer list to the new monitor. This will upload the patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the X2 to the receiving monitor. 5 Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct. Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient with the Monitor 1 Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved with the monitor to another monitoring location on the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information. Select the patient name field or select the Admit/Dischrge SmartKey to open the Patient Demographics window, then select the Transfer pop-up key. If the patient is not admitted or not monitored by an Information Center, the Transfer key is inactive
(grayed-out). This step preserves the patients demographic data during the transfer. 2 At the new location, connect the monitor to the network (only needed for wired networks). If the monitor detects a patient mismatch, a window will open showing your patients data and asking Complete transfer of this patient?. Select Yes to complete the transfer. 3 4 Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct. If you accidentally transfer a patient, use Re-Admit to restore this patients data to the Information Center. If you are not connected to the network, select Clear Transfer to leave transfer mode. The patient data remains in the monitor. Data Exchange Between Information Centers You can transfer demographic data and trend data from one IIC to another by selecting Transfer on the patient monitor. Trend data is not shared between Information Centers and monitors. Resolving Patient Information Mismatch When you connect together devices which store patient demographic data, for example:
an MMS and a monitor, an X2 or MP5 and a host monitor, a monitor and an Information Center, the system compares patient category, paced status, and unique patient identification in order to synchronize this information. If configured to do so, the monitor indicates a mismatch if the information is not identical. WARNING 1 When a monitor is connected to an Information Center by the wireless IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface, the patient data will automatically be merged in the case of a transfer. This means there is no patient discharge at the monitor and settings and trend data will be retained. You will see a message on the monitor and the Patient Demographics window will automatically appear so that you can check the data and change it if necessary. 90 Transferring Patients 6 Managing Patients 2 It is important to resolve the mismatches as soon as they are identified. Failure to do so could result in using incorrect/confusing data to make clinical decisions. Certain settings, for example Paced and Patient Category, may not match between the Information Center and the monitor. If the Paced status is set incorrectly, the system could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm in the case of asystole. It is important that the Patient Category is set correctly so the ECG can be analyzed correctly and initial arrhythmia alarm limits set. In the case where an MP5 or X2 with an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface is declared as a telemetry device at the Information Center and is connected to a host monitor, it is important to resolve an existing mismatch between the monitor and the Information Center before disconnecting the MP5/X2. Failure to do so discharges the MP5/X2 and synchronizes the demographics and settings to the Information Center. Manually Resolving Patient Mismatch The source of the patient mismatch is indicated by question marks (???) and displayed in the status line at the bottom of the screen (Patient ???, Patient Category ??? or Paced ???). The Select Patient window automatically opens so you can decide which patient data to use. You do not have to resolve the mismatch immediately, but the indicators remain until you do. For some common mismatch situations, the monitor will simplify the resolution by suggesting a solution for the mismatch. For example, when a patient arrives after transport and the Transfer key has been selected, the monitor will show this patients data and ask Complete transfer of this patient?. You can then select Yes to complete the transfer. If you select No you will go to the Select Patient window. After you resolve the mismatch, the monitor displays a confirmation window that shows the patient that has been selected and where data will be erased, if applicable. Confirm your choice. The monitor automatically displays the Patient Demographics window after confirmation. Verify that the settings shown are correct for the patient. Gender, date of birth, height, weight, and nursing notes do not generate a mismatch. If these fields are different on different devices, the monitor resolves them itself. For example, it may take date of birth from the Information Center, whilst taking gender from the monitor. Always check the Patient Demographics after combining patients, to ensure that you are satisfied with the results. Change them if necessary. WARNING After resolving a patient mismatch, check that the monitor settings (especially patient category, paced status and alarm limits) are correct for the patient. 91 6 Managing Patients Transferring Patients Patient Mismatch - If One Set of Patient Data is Correct If there is a mismatch between an Information Center and a monitor, choose the data set you want to continue using for this patient by selecting one of the sectors in the Select Patient window. After you resolve the mismatch, the monitor displays a confirmation window that shows the patient that has been selected and where data will be erased, if applicable. Confirm your choice. The monitor automatically displays the Patient Demographics window after confirmation. Verify that the settings shown are correct for the patient. Select Patient DOE, JOHN F 1234HG9556, 2008/00123 Adult Non-Paced MILLER, Adult Paced Same Patient New Patient Patient Mismatch - If Neither Patient Data Set is Correct A patient mismatch where neither set of patient data is correct might occur if you connect a new MMS to a monitor in order to prepare for a new patient, before you actually start measuring. Select New Patient if you are sure that none of the information is correct. This discharges all patients, erases all data in both the monitor and MMS, resets all settings to the default Profile, and lets you admit a new patient. Patient Mismatch - If Both Patient Data Sets Are Correct A patient mismatch where both sets of patient data are correct might occur if you admit a new patient at the monitor (or Information Center) before the patient arrives at your unit and then connect the MMS that was used during the patient transport to the monitor. Select Same Patient if the patient information is different, but you are sure it is the same patient. This merges the demographics and updates them in the Information Center, monitor, and MMS, according to this table. Be aware that your monitor may be configured to merge trend data from the MMS and the monitor, and to upload measurement settings from the MMS to the monitor. 92 7 7ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring The electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart and displays it on the monitor as a waveform and a numeric. This section also tells you about arrhythmia monitoring (see page 109), ST monitoring (see page 121) and QT monitoring (see page 131). Skin Preparation for Electrode Placement Good electrode-to-skin contact is important for a good ECG signal, as the skin is a poor conductor of electricity. Select sites with intact skin, without impairment of any kind. 1 2 Clip or shave hair from sites as necessary. 3 Wash sites thoroughly with soap and water, leaving no soap residue. We do not recommend using ether or pure alcohol, because this dries the skin and increases the resistance. 4 Dry skin thoroughly. 5 Gently abrade the skin using ECG skin preparation paper to remove dead skin cells to improve the conductivity of the electrode site. Connecting ECG Cables 1 Attach the clips or snaps to the electrodes before placing them. If you are not using pre-gelled electrodes, apply electrode gel to the electrodes before placement. Place the electrodes on the patient according to the lead placement you have chosen. 2 93 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Selecting the Primary and Secondary ECG Leads 1 - ECG Connector 1 3 Attach the electrode cable to the patient cable. 4 Plug the patient cable into the white ECG connector on the monitor. An ECG waveform and numeric appears on the monitor display. CAUTION To protect the monitor from damage during defibrillation, for accurate ECG information and to protect against noise and other interference, use only ECG electrodes and cables specified by Philips. Selecting the Primary and Secondary ECG Leads The monitor uses the primary and secondary lead to compute HR and to analyze and detect cardiac arrhythmias. They are also available for recordings and for display on the Information Center. The secondary lead is only used if your monitor is configured for multi-lead (instead of single-lead) arrhythmia analysis. You should choose a lead as primary or secondary lead that has the following characteristics:
the QRS complex should be either completely above or below the baseline and it should not be biphasic the QRS complex should be tall and narrow the P-waves and T-waves should be less than 0.2 mV To select a lead as primary or secondary lead:
In the Setup ECG menu, select Primary or Secondary, then select the appropriate lead. You can assign any available lead whether it is currently displayed or not. Checking Paced Status It is important to set the paced status correctly when you start monitoring ECG. To change the paced status in the Setup ECG menu, select Paced to toggle between Yes or No. 94 Understanding the ECG Display 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring WARNING Pace pulse rejection must be switched on for paced patients by setting Paced to Yes. Switching pace pulse rejection off for paced patients may result in pace pulses being counted as regular QRS complexes, which could prevent an asystole event from being detected. When changing profiles, and at admission/discharge, always check that paced status is correct for the patient. Some pace pulses can be difficult to reject. When this happens, the pulses are counted as a QRS complex, and could result in an incorrect HR and failure to detect cardiac arrest or some arrhythmias. Make sure that pace pulses are detected correctly by checking the pace pulse markers on the display. Keep pacemaker patients under close observation. Understanding the ECG Display Your display may be configured to look slightly different. 1 8 2 3 4 5 M EASI 7 Paced Rhythm HR bpm 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Lead label of the displayed wave 1 mV calibration bar Pacer spikes Pace pulse markers Current heart rate Current heart rate alarm limits EASI lead placement label ECG Filter label ECG HR numeric: This is the heart rate derived from the monitored ECG. Pace pulse markers: These are shown if the Paced status has been set to Yes, the pacer spikes are not configured to have a fixed size, and the patient has a paced signal. Pacer Spikes: The pacer spikes are shown in white, unless the ECG wave is white, then they will be green. If the pacer spikes have been configured to have a fixed size, they will be displayed in the background as a dotted line. 95 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Monitoring Paced Patients 1 Pacer spikes configured to have a fixed size 1 Defibrillator synchronization marks: If an HP/Agilent/Philips defibrillator is connected, the synchronization marks (vertical lines on the ECG wave) are shown on the ECG wave. The synchronization marks will be shown in yellow, unless the ECG wave is yellow, then they will be green. ST numerics in ECG wave: ST numerics can be configured to show underneath the ECG wave on the left side. Monitoring Paced Patients An ECG optimized for monitoring a paced patient should look like this:
1 2 1 2 Normal Beats Pace Pulses/Beats You should choose a lead as primary or secondary lead that has these characteristics:
the normal QRS complex should be either completely above or below the baseline and it should not be biphasic. For paced patients, the QRS complexes should be at least twice the height of pace pulses. the QRS complex should be tall and narrow the P-waves and the T-waves should be less than 0.2 mV. For ease of identification on the screen, the pacer spikes can be configured to have a fixed size. They are then shown in the background as a dotted lines. The length of the dotted line is fixed to the wave channel height and is independent of the actual pacer amplitude. 96 Changing the Size of the ECG Wave 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Setting the Paced Status (Pace Pulse Rejection) In the Setup ECG menu, select Paced to toggle between Yes and No. You can also change the paced status in the Patient Demographics window. When Paced is set to Yes:
Paced Pace Pulse Rejection is switched on. This means that pacemaker pulses are Non-Paced not counted as extra QRS complexes. pace pulse marks are shown on the ECG wave as a small dash (only when the pacer spikes are not configured to have a fixed size) the paced symbol is displayed under the HR label. When Paced is set to No, pacer spikes are not shown in the ECG wave. Be aware that switching pace pulse rejection off for paced patients may result in pace pulses being counted as regular QRS complexes, which could prevent an asystole event from being detected. Avoiding Pace Pulse Repolarization Tails Some unipolar pacemakers display pace pulses with repolarization tails. These tails may be counted as QRSs in the event of cardiac arrest or other arrhythmias. If you note a visible repolarization tail, choose a lead that decreases the size of the repolarization tail. 1 Repolarization tail
(note width) 1 Changing the Size of the ECG Wave If any of the displayed ECG waves is too small or clipped, you can change the size of one or all of the ECG waves on the screen. Changing the adjustment factor only changes the visual appearance of the ECG wave on the screen. It does not affect the ECG signal analyzed by the monitor. Comparing the wave size to the 1 mV calibration bar on the ECG wave segment can help you to get an idea of the true ECG signal strength. If you choose a fixed adjustment factor, the 1 mV calibration bar will be the same size for all the displayed ECG waves. If you choose AutoSize, or an individual size using the Size Up / Size Down keys, the calibration bar may be a different size for each wave. To Change the Size of an Individual ECG Wave 1 Select the wave segment you want to change. This calls up the lead menu for this segment. 97 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Changing the Volume of the QRS Tone 2 In the lead menu, select Size Up to increase wave size or Size Down to decrease the size. Selecting AutoSize lets the monitor choose the optimal adjustment factor for all displayed ECG waves. To Change the Size of all the ECG Waves To change the size of all the ECG waves on the screen by a fixed adjustment factor, 1 2 In the Setup ECG menu, select Adjust Size. Select the required adjustment factor from the line of pop-up keys. Size x0.5 to halve the wave size Size x1 to display the wave without zoom Size x2 to double the wave size Size x4 to multiply the wave size by four Changing the Volume of the QRS Tone The QRS tone is derived from either the HR or Pulse, depending on which is currently selected as the alarm source. The QRS volume can be set from 0 to 10 (0 means off). To change the QRS volume, in the Setup ECG menu select QRS Volume and then select the appropriate volume from the pop-up list. There will be no QRS tone when the X2 is connected to a host monitor. Changing the ECG Filter Settings The ECG filter setting defines how ECG waves are smoothed. An abbreviation indicating the filter type is shown underneath the lead label on the monitor display. Filter settings do not affect ST measurement. To change the filter setting, in the Setup ECG menu, select Filter and then select the appropriate setting. Monitor: Use under normal measurement conditions. Ext. Monitor: Use for pediatric and neonatal patients when diagnostic quality is required but low frequency interference or a wandering baseline may be expected. The upper edge frequency is the same as the Diag setting and the lower edge frequency is the same as the Monitor setting. Filter: The filter reduces interference to the signal. It should be used if the signal is distorted by high frequency or low frequency interference. High frequency interference usually results in large amplitude spikes making the ECG signal look irregular. Low frequency interference usually leads to a wandering or rough baseline. In the operating room, the Filter reduces artifacts and interference from electro-surgical units. Under normal measurement conditions, selecting Filter may suppress the QRS complexes too much and thus interfere with the clinical evaluation of the ECG displayed on the monitor. This does not affect the ECG analysis performed by the monitor. If AutoFilter is set to On in Configuration Mode, the filter setting will automatically be set to Filter if electromagnetic interference is detected. 98 Selecting Positions of Va and Vb Chest Leads (for 6-lead placement) 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Diag: Use when diagnostic quality is required. The unfiltered ECG wave is displayed so that changes such as R-wave notching or discrete elevation or depression of the ST segments are visible. The setting Diag selects the highest available ECG bandwidth which is 0.05 to 150 Hz for the Adult, Pedi and Neo patient category. The term diagnostic relates only to the ECG bandwidth requirements for diagnostic electrocardiographic devices as outlined in the ANSI/AAMI standard EC11-1991. When you are using a telemetry transmitter connected via short range radio to the monitor, the upper bandwidth for all filter settings is limited to 40 Hz. Selecting Positions of Va and Vb Chest Leads (for 6-
lead placement) The two chest leads for the 6-lead placement can be positioned at any two of the V1 to V6 positions. Select the positions you have used in the Setup ECG menu, so that the chest leads will be correctly labeled. In the Setup ECG menu, select Va Lead. Select the position used from the list. Select Vb Lead and select the position used from the list 1 2 3 Choosing EASI or Standard Lead Placement You must enable either standard lead placement or EASI lead placement. In the Setup ECG menu, select Placement and then Standard or EASI. EASI is shown beside the 1mV calibration bar on the ECG wave on the display, and EASI is marked on any printouts. See the section on EASI ECG Lead Placement for electrode placement diagrams. About ECG Leads To make it possible to compare measured ECG signals, the electrodes (or lead sets) are placed in standardized positions, forming so-called leads. To obtain ECG signals optimized for use in diagnosis and patient management in different care environments, different lead sets in varying lead placements can be used. You can use either standard lead placements or EASI lead placements with this monitor. When placing electrodes, choose a flat, non-muscular site where the signal will not be interfered with by either movement or bones. Correct lead placement is always important for accurate diagnosis. Especially in the precordial leads, which are close to the heart, QRS morphology can be greatly altered if an electrode is moved away from its correct location. 99 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ECG Lead Fallback ECG Leads Monitored If you are using a 3-electrode set a 5-electrode set a 6-electrode set a 10-electrode set an EASI 5-electrode set these leads are available:
Resp is measured between electrodes:
RA and LL I, II, III RA and LL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V and MCL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, Va, Vb RA and LL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 RA and LL I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 I and A Changing Lead Sets To change the ECG lead set, When adding leads: place the additional electrodes as required - the monitor automatically recognizes the new lead placement. When removing leads: there are two possibilities - removing the complete chest leads block or removing individual leads. If you unplug the chest lead block from the trunk cable connector, the monitor will automatically recognize the new lead placement. Remove individual leads by removing the electrodes. The monitor will issue a Lead Off INOP message; select New Lead Setup in the Setup ECG menu and the INOP message will disappear. ECG Lead Fallback If fallback is configured on and there is a leads off INOP in the primary lead (and in the secondary lead, if you are using multi-lead monitoring) for longer than 10 seconds, and if another lead is available, this available lead automatically becomes the primary lead. This is known as lead fallback. When the Leads Off condition is corrected, the leads are automatically switched back. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. ECG Lead Placements The labels and colors of the ECG electrodes differ according to the standards that apply for your hospital. The electrode placement illustrations in this chapter use the AAMI labels and colors. Electrode labels Electrode colors AAMI EASI IEC AAMI RA LA LL RL V V1 V2 I S A N E R L F N C C1 C2 White Black Red Green Brown Brown/Red Brown/Yellow IEC Red Yellow Green Black White White/Red White/Yellow 100 ECG Lead Placements 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Electrode labels Electrode colors AAMI EASI IEC AAMI V3 V4 V5 V6 C3 C4 C5 C6 Brown/Green Brown/Blue Brown/Orange Brown/Violet IEC White/Green White/Brown White/Black White/Violet Standard 3-Lead Placement 1 2 1 2 3 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 3 Standard 5-Lead Placement 1 I aVR V aVL II 5 a V F 2 III 3 4 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 position depends on your required lead selection 101 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ECG Lead Placements 6-Lead Placement For a 6-lead placement use the positions from the 5-lead diagram above but with two chest leads. The two chest leads, Va and Vb, can be positioned at any two of the V1 to V6 positions shown in the chest electrode diagram below. The Va and Vb lead positions chosen must be selected in the ECG Setup Menu to ensure correct labeling. Chest Electrode Placement For accurate chest electrode placement and measurement, it is important to locate the fourth intercostal space. 1 2 Locate the second intercostal space by first palpating the Angle of Lewis (the little bony protuberance where the body of the sternum joins the manubrium). This rise in the sternum is where the second rib is attached, and the space just below this is the second intercostal space. Palpate and count down the chest until you locate the fourth intercostal space. Angle of Lewis 2 3 4 V3R V4R V1 V2 V3 VE V6 V4 V5 V7 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 to 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 right posterior axillary line in the fifth intercostal space 102 ECG Lead Placements 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring 10-Lead Placement When monitoring 12-leads of ECG, using a 10-Electrode Lead Placement, it is important to correctly place electrodes and to label all 12-lead ECG reports with the correct lead placement. Conventional 12-Lead ECG 1 2 5 4 3 1 - V1 - V6 2 - LA 3 - LL 4 - RL 5 - RA In conventional 12-Lead ECG using 10 electrodes, an electrode is placed on the right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg. Six V-
electrodes are placed on the chest. The right leg electrode is the reference electrode. Limb electrodes:
Place arm electrodes on the inside of each arm, between the wrist and the elbow. Place leg electrodes inside of each calf, between the knee and the ankle. Chest electrodes:
V1 - on the 4th intercostal space at the right sternal border V2 - on the 4th intercostal space at the left sternal border V3 - midway between the V2 and V4 electrode positions V4 - on the 5th 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 103 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Capture 12-Lead Modified 12-Lead ECG 6 5 1 2 4 3 1 - LA 2 - V1 - V6 3 - LL 4 - RL 5 - RA 6 - Angle of Lewis If your institution uses modified 10 Lead ECG electrode placement (the Mason-Likar Lead System), place the four limb electrodes close to the shoulders and lower abdomen. The six V electrodes are placed on the chest in the same position as the conventional 12-lead placement. Choosing Standard or Modified Electrode Placement If your institution uses modified 10 Lead ECG electrode placement (the Mason-Likar Lead System), you must switch ModLdPlcmt to On in the monitor. To do this, in the Setup ECG menu, select ModLdPlcmt to toggle between On and Off. When ModLdPlcmt is set to On, 12 Lead ECG Reports will be labelled 12 Lead ECG Report (Mason-Likar), and captured 12-lead ECGs will be labelled Mason-Likar to the right of the bandwidth annotation at the Information Center. When ModLdPlcmt is set to Off, 12 Lead ECG Reports will be labelled 12 Lead ECG Report, and captured 12-lead ECGs will not be annotated at the Information Center. WARNING Do not use ECG analysis interpretation statements and measurements for 12-lead ECGs obtained using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement. This may lead to misdiagnosis since the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement does not look the same as the conventional 12-lead ECG and may mask inferior infarction due to calculated axis, R, P and T wave magnitudes shifts and ST slope. Do not export 12-lead ECGs obtained using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement. Captured 12-Lead ECGs using the modified (Mason-Likar) limb electrode placement exported from the Information Center are not annotated with the Mason-Likar label. Capture 12-Lead If the monitor is connected to an Information Center via a wired network, the Capture 12-Lead SmartKey may be configured. Selecting this exports 12-Lead ECG information to the Information Center for analysis. For details see the Instructions for Use supplied with the Information Center. 104 EASI ECG Lead Placement 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring EASI ECG Lead Placement Using a standard 5-electrode set in EASI lead placement you can monitor up to 12 standard ECG leads simultaneously and continuously at the bedside. EASI provides a monitoring method for trending ST segment changes that can provide an early indication of ischemia. WARNING EASI-derived 12-lead ECGs and their measurements are approximations to conventional 12-lead ECGs. As the 12-lead ECG derived with EASI is not exactly identical to the 12-lead conventional ECG obtained from an electrocardiograph, it should not be used for diagnostic interpretations. Respiratory monitoring is also possible with the EASI placement; respiration is measured between the I and A electrodes. Place the electrodes as accurately as possible to obtain the best quality EASI measurements. When EASI lead placement is selected, EASI is shown beside the 1mV calibration bar on the ECG wave on the display, and EASI is marked on any recorder strips and printouts. When EASI lead placement is selected, EASI is shown beside the 1mV calibration bar on the ECG wave on the display, and EASI is marked on any printouts. EASI Monitoring During INOP Conditions If one of the derived EASI leads has an INOP condition (for example, LEAD OFF), a flat line is displayed. After 10 seconds, the directly acquired EASI AI, AS, or ES lead (depending on which is available) is displayed with the corresponding lead label. This causes an arrhythmia relearn. EASI Electrode Placement 1 E (V) on the lower sternum at the level of the fifth intercostal space on the left midaxillary line at the same level as the E electrode on the upper sternum on the right midaxillary line at the same level as the E electrode reference electrode - can be anywhere, usually below the sixth rib on the right hip 2 3 4 5 A (LL) S (LA) I (RA) N 2 1 3 4 5 105 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview The ECG and arrhythmia alarms available depend on which measurements are switched on, and the arrhythmia option enabled for your monitor.

Special alarm features which apply only to ECG are described here. Extreme Alarm Limits The extreme rate alarms, Extreme Tachy and Extreme Brady, generated by the active alarm source, either HR or Pulse, are set in Configuration Mode by adding a set value (the ' value) to the high and low alarm limits. Extreme Brady Limit Low Limit High Limit Extreme Tachy Limit

'ExtrTachy and 'ExtrBrady. ECG Alarms Off Disabled Be aware that your hospital department may have decided to disable the setting ECG Alarms Off in the monitors Configuration Mode. In this case, HR alarms cannot be switched off in Monitoring Mode. If you try to switch off the HR alarms, you will see the message To activate enter Config and enable Alarms Off. HR Alarms When Arrhythmia Analysis is Switched Off When arrhythmia analysis is switched off, only these HR-related alarms will be detected:
the asystole alarm the ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia alarm the extreme tachycardia and extreme bradycardia alarms the high heart rate and low heart rate alarms. Enhanced Asystole Detection In order to improve alarming on asystole under certain conditions, you can set Asystole Detect. in Configuration Mode to Enhanced. In enhanced mode an asystole alarm will be suppressed for up to five seconds if a valid beat-to-beat Pulse is detected from a Pressure. 107 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ECG Safety Information ECG Safety Information CAUTION Interference from instruments near the patient and ESU interference can cause problems with the ECG wave. See the monitor specifications for more information. WARNING Defibrillation and Electrosurgery: Do not touch the patient, or table, or instruments, during defibrillation. After defibrillation, the screen display recovers within 10 seconds if the correct electrodes are used and applied in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. ECG cables can be damaged when connected to a patient during defibrillation. Check cables for functionality before using them again. According to AAMI specifications the peak of the synchronized defibrillator discharge should be delivered within 60 ms of the peak of the R wave. The signal at the ECG output on the IntelliVue patient monitors is delayed by a maximum of 30 ms. Your biomedical engineer should verify that your ECG/Defibrillator combination does not exceed the recommended maximum delay of 60 ms. When using electrosurgical (ES) equipment, never place ECG electrodes near to the grounding plate of the ES device, as this can cause a lot of interference on the ECG signal. General: When you are connecting the electrodes or the patient cable, make sure that the connectors never come into contact with other conductive parts, or with earth. In particular, make sure that all of the ECG electrodes are attached to the patient, to prevent them from contacting conductive parts or earth. During surgery: Use the appropriate orange electrode ECG safety cable, or lead cable with an orange connector, for measuring ECG in the operating room. These cables have extra circuitry to protect the patient from burns during cautery, and they decrease electrical interference. This also reduces the hazard of burns in case of a defective neutral electrode at the HF device. These cables cannot be used for measuring respiration. Pacemaker failure: During complete heart block or pacemaker failure to pace/capture, tall P-waves
(greater than 1/5 of the average R-wave height) may be erroneously counted by the monitor, resulting in missed detection of cardiac arrest. Patients exhibiting intrinsic rhythm: When monitoring paced patients who exhibit only intrinsic rhythm, the monitor may erroneously count pace pulses as QRS complexes when the algorithm first encounters them, resulting in missed detection of cardiac arrest. The risk of missing cardiac arrest may be reduced by monitoring these patients with low heart rate limit at or slightly above the basic/demand pacemaker rate. A low heart rate alarm alerts you when the patients heart rate drops to a level where pacing is needed. Proper detection and classification of the paced rhythm can then be determined. Filtered ECG signal from external instruments: Instruments such as defibrillators or telemetry units produce a filtered ECG signal. When this signal is used as an input to the bedside monitor, it is filtered again. If this twice-filtered signal is passed to the arrhythmia algorithm, it may cause the algorithm to fail to detect pace pulses, pacemaker non-capture, or asystole, thus compromising paced patient monitoring performance. 108 About Arrhythmia Monitoring 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring External pacing electrodes: When a pacemaker with external pacing electrodes is being used on a patient, arrhythmia monitoring is severely compromised due to the high energy level in the pacer pulse. This may result in the arrhythmia algorithms failure to detect pacemaker noncapture or asystole. Fusion beat pacemakers: Pacemakers that create fusion beats (pace pulse on top of the QRS complex) cannot be detected by the monitors QRS detector. Rate adaptive pacemakers: Implanted pacemakers which can adapt to the Minute Ventilation rate may occasionally react on the Impedance measurement used by patient monitors for the determination of the Resp value and execute pacing with the maximum programmed rate. Switching off the Resp measurement can prevent this. About Arrhythmia Monitoring Arrhythmia analysis provides information on your patients condition, including heart rate, PVC rate, rhythm, and ectopics. The monitor uses the user-selected primary and secondary ECG leads for single-
lead or multi-lead arrhythmia analysis. During arrhythmia analysis, the monitor continuously optimizes ECG signal quality. This is important for arrhythmia analysis. The monitor continuously filters the ECG signal to remove baseline wander, muscle artifact, and signal irregularities. Also, if the Patient Paced status is set to Yes, pace pulses are filtered out to avoid processing them as QRS beats. detects beats, for example, QRS complexes, identifying them for further analysis. measures signal features such as R-wave height, width, and timing. creates beat templates, and classifies and labels beats to aid in rhythm analysis and alarm detection. examines the ECG signal for ventricular fibrillation, asystole, and noise. Arrhythmia Options Your monitor has either the basic or the enhanced arrhythmia option. Both options provide rhythm and ectopic status messages and beat labelling. The number of rhythms being classified, events being detected, and alarms generated differs according to the option. The alarms available with the different options are listed in the section ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview on page 106, the rhythm and ectopic messages detected are listed in Arrhythmia Status Messages on page 113. Where Can I Find More Information?
See the Application Notes on ST and Arrhythmia supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the arrhythmia algorithm and its clinical application. 109 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Switching Arrhythmia Analysis On and Off Switching Arrhythmia Analysis On and Off In the Setup Arrhy menu, select Arrhythmia to toggle between On and Off. Select the Confirm pop-up key which appears at the bottom of the screen. 1 2 Be aware that when arrhythmia analysis is switched off, the message Arrhythmia Off appears beside the ECG wave, if configured to do so only the HR-related alarms are detected (the asystole alarm, the ventricular fibrillation/
tachycardia alarm, the extreme tachycardia and extreme bradycardia alarms, the high heart rate and low heart rate alarms) HR High and HR Low alarms behave like normal yellow alarms, no timeout periods are active. Choosing an ECG Lead for Arrhythmia Monitoring It is important to select a suitable lead for arrhythmia monitoring. Guidelines for non-paced patients are:
QRS complex should be tall and narrow (recommended amplitude > 0.5 mV) R-Wave should be above or below the baseline (but not bi-phasic) T-wave should be smaller than 1/3 R-wave height the P-wave should be smaller than 1/5 R-wave height. For paced patients, in addition to the above, the pace pulse should be:
not wider than the normal QRS the QRS complexes should be at least twice the height of pace pulses large enough to be detected, with no re-polarization. To prevent detection of P-waves or baseline noises as QRS complexes, the minimum detection level for QRS complexes is set at 0.15 mV, according to AAMI-EC 13 specifications. Adjusting the ECG wave size on the monitor display (gain adjustment) does not affect the ECG signal which is used for arrhythmia analysis. If the ECG signal is too small, you may get false alarms for pause or asystole. Aberrantly-Conducted Beats As P-waves are not analyzed, it is difficult and sometimes impossible for the monitor to distinguish between an aberrantly-conducted supraventricular beat and a ventricular beat. If the aberrant beat resembles a ventricular beat, it is classified as ventricular. You should always select a lead where the aberrantly-conducted beats have an R-wave that is as narrow as possible to minimize incorrect calls. Ventricular beats should look different from these normal beats. Instead of trying to select two leads with a narrow R-wave, it may be easier to just select one lead and use single lead arrhythmia monitoring. Extra vigilance is required by the clinician for this type of patient. Atrial Fibrillation Alarm The monitor performs atrial fibrillation analysis using information about the RR irregularity, PR interval variability and P wave variability. In order to generate an Afib alarm the following criteria must be detected for 1 minute:
normal beat RR intervals must be irregular 110 Understanding the Arrhythmia Display 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring PR interval deviation must be large P-wave region must not match well Atrial fibrillation analysis is only available for adult patients and atrial fibrillation detection cannot be performed on PVCs or Paced beats. Since most atrial flutters have regular RR intervals, they cannot be detected by the atrial fibrillation algorithm. An Afib alarm can be falsely detected in the presence of:
sinus arrhythmia, muscle noise, or electrode motion artifact. If you also have monitors with earlier software revisions, the Afib alarm will not be generated after a transfer to one of these monitors. Always leave the Irregular HR alarm switched on, so that this alarm can be generated in such situations. See the Application Note on Arrhythmia/ST supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the arrhythmia algorithm and ECG analysis. Intermittent Bundle Branch Block Bundle branch and the other fascicular blocks create a challenge for the arrhythmia algorithm. If the QRS during the block changes considerably from the learned normal, the blocked beat may be incorrectly classified as ventricular, causing false PVC alarms. You should always select a lead where the bundle branch block beats have an R-wave that is as narrow as possible to minimize incorrect calls. Ventricular beats should look different from these normal beats. Instead of trying to select two leads with a narrow R-wave, it may be easier to just select one lead and use single lead arrhythmia monitoring. Extra vigilance is required by the clinician for this type of patient. Understanding the Arrhythmia Display Your monitor screen may look slightly different from the illustration.

To return to the normal ECG primary lead display, select Annotate Arrhy again. Arrhythmia Beat Labels Arrhythmia beat labels tell you how the monitor is classifying beats. N = Normal V = Ventricular Ectopic S = Supra-ventricular Premature P = Paced
' = Pacer spike

? = Insufficient information to classify beats I = Inoperative condition (e.g., LEADS OFF) M = Pause or missed beat 112 Understanding the Arrhythmia Display 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Status Messages The monitor displays two types of status messages:
Rhythm Status Messages -- to indicate the patients rhythm. Ectopic Status Messages -- to indicate the presence of ectopic beats. These status messages are shown on the right hand side of the primary ECG wave. They are updated every second, with the exception of the Sinus and Supraventricular (SV) rhythm messages. The Sinus and SV rhythm messages are updated based on the current heart rate, taking into account the patient category (adult, pediatric, or neonatal). For the message to change from one rhythm status to another, the HR must be in the new range for five beats. If you have basic arrhythmia capability, you will get only messages for the alarms provided with this level. Rhythm Status Messages The label B or E indicates basic (B) or enhanced (E) arrhythmia capability.

Alarm timeout periods are cleared Stored arrhythmia templates are cleared Asystole, Vfib, and HR alarms (when there are enough beats to compute the HR) are active. No other alarms are active. Initiating Arrhythmia Relearning Manually 1 To initiate relearning manually, in the Setup Arrhy menu, select Relearn Arrhy. While the monitor is learning, the delayed arrhythmia wave displays the beat label L and the Next, the monitor determines the dominant rhythm. The beats are labeled N, and the rhythm rhythm status message Learning ECG. status message changes to Learning Rhythm. 2 After relearning is complete, you should check the delayed arrhythmia wave to ensure that the algorithm is labeling the beats correctly. 3 If beats are still not classified correctly, check that the ECG is optimized for arrhythmia monitoring. You may need to select a different lead or change the electrodes or electrode positions if there is excessive noise, unstable voltage, low amplitude, or large P- or T-waves. 114 Arrhythmia Alarms 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Automatic Arrhythmia Relearn Arrhythmia relearning is initiated automatically whenever:
ECG monitoring is switched on The ECG Lead or Lead Label of the primary/secondary lead is changed manually, or when fallback occurs A Leads Off INOP condition (that has been active for > 60 seconds) ends. If you are monitoring multi-lead arrhythmia and there is a change in one lead only, relearning happens only in the affected lead. During this learning phase, the system will continue monitoring using the other lead. Therefore, the delayed arrhythmia wave is not labeled L and there is no Learning ECG rhythm status message. In addition, alarm timeout periods are maintained, stored arrhythmia templates are maintained for the operative lead, and all alarms switched on are active. Arrhythmia Relearn and Lead Fallback Lead fallback triggers an automatic arrhythmia relearn. WARNING If arrhythmia learning takes place during ventricular rhythm, the ectopics may be incorrectly learned as the normal QRS complex. This may result in missed detection of subsequent events of V-Tach and V-
Fib. For this reason you should:
take care to initiate arrhythmia relearning only during periods of predominantly normal rhythm and when the ECG signal is relatively noise-free be aware that arrhythmia relearning can happen automatically respond to any INOP messages (for example, if you are prompted to reconnect electrodes) be aware that a disconnected EASI electrode triggers an arrhythmia relearn on all leads always ensure that the arrhythmia algorithm is labeling beats correctly. Arrhythmia Alarms Arrhythmia alarms can be switched on and off and the alarm settings changed just like other measurement alarms, as described in the Alarms section. Special alarm features which apply only to arrhythmia are described here. The different alarms detected and generated by the monitor depend on the level of arrhythmia analysis that is enabled. For a complete list of arrhythmia alarms and INOPs, see the Alarms chapter. The monitor detects arrhythmia alarm conditions by comparing ECG data to a set of pre-defined criteria. An alarm can be triggered by a rate exceeding a threshold (for example, HR >xx), an abnormal rhythm (for example, Ventricular Bigeminy), or an ectopic event (for example, Pair PVCs). 115 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Alarms Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms Yellow arrhythmia alarms are short yellow alarms specific to arrhythmia-related patient conditions. Depending on your monitor and Information Center configuration, they may be shown with one or two stars. The heart rate alarms (High HR and Low HR) can be configured as short yellow or standard yellow alarms. When they are standard yellow alarms they exist independently of the other arrhythmia alarms and no timeout periods apply. WARNING When arrhythmia analysis is on, all yellow ECG and arrhythmia alarms are short yellow alarms (one-
star). This means that the yellow alarm lamp and the tones are active for six seconds only, after which the blinking numeric and the alarm message remain for up to three minutes. The only exception to this are the HR High and Low alarms which can be configured as standard yellow alarms. Red alarms behave as usual. Arrhythmia Alarms and Latching When using arrhythmia analysis, Visual Latching and Audible Latching should be on for red alarms, or at least Visual Latching should be on. Because of the transient nature of arrhythmia alarms, many arrhythmia conditions may go unnoticed if alarm latching is off. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. Switching Individual Arrhythmia Alarms On and Off Some arrhythmia alarms can be individually switched on or off. They are:
Pacer not capture, Pacer not pace, Non-Sustain VT, Vent Rhythm, Run PVCs, Pair PVCs, R-on-T PVCs, V.Bigeminy, V.Trigeminy, Multif.PVCs, Pause, SVT, Irregular HR, Missed Beat, PVCs/min and Afib. To switch individual alarms on or off, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select the alarm from the list to toggle between On and Off. The monitor displays the INOP message SOME ECG ALRMS OFF, if configured, when more alarms are switched off than configured in your active profile. Switching All Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms On or Off All yellow arrhythmia alarms can be switched on and off together. To do this, In the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select All Yellow Off or All Yellow On. Adjusting the Arrhythmia Alarm Limits Some arrhythmia alarms have limits which can be individually adjusted. They are:
Vtach HR, Vtach Run, PVCs/min, Vent Rhythm, SVT HR, SVT Run, Asystole Thresh., Pause Threshold. 1 To adjust alarm limits, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, select the alarm to be adjusted. 2 Select the appropriate setting from the pop-up list. 116 Arrhythmia Alarms 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout Periods Normally, an arrhythmia alarm is announced when an alarm condition is detected. However, there are certain situations that can inhibit the audible and visible indications of the alarm even though the alarm condition was detected. These include:
if a more serious alarm condition is active in the same chain if a timeout period is in effect for a particular alarm if a timeout period is in effect for a higher alarm in that chain. See Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining on page 118 for more details on alarm chains. What is a Timeout Period?
Timeout periods are automatically started when a yellow arrhythmia alarm is detected. During this period, the same alarm condition will not generate another alarm. Alarm conditions further down the same arrhythmia alarm chain will also not generate an alarm, but alarms further up the chain will: see Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining on page 118). This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. To view the timeout period configured for your monitor, in the Setup Arrhythmia menu, see the menu items TimeOut 1st and TimeOut 2nd. Resetting the Timeout Period To reset the timeout period, press the Alarms key and then reselect it. How are Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms Indicated?
When a yellow arrhythmia alarm is generated, it triggers visual and audible indicators. Yellow arrhythmia alarms are always set to latch visually for three minutes except HR High/Low alarms, if configured to standard yellow. Depending on the alarm condition, audible and visual alarm indicators will appear as follows:
Alarm Condition Example Audible Indicators Short yellow alarm tone sounds ... Visual Indicators Alarm message displayed ... Single alarm instance Non-sustained V-tach Continuous alarm condition PVCs/min HIGH Same intermittent alarm condition Pair of PVCs when alarm condition is initially detected when alarm condition is initially detected and - as an alarm reminder - every time the configured time out period has expired each time the alarm condition is detected, provided that the configured timeout period has expired for 3 minutes (latching time) until the alarm condition stops, plus a maximum of three minutes latching time 117 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Alarms If you silence a yellow arrhythmia alarm and the alarm condition still exists, the visual indicators continue until the condition stops. You will get an alarm reminder every time the configured timeout period has expired. If you silence a yellow arrhythmia alarm and the alarm condition has stopped, the visual indicators are immediately cleared. Silencing an alarm does not reset its time out period, so you will not get a realarm for the same condition or lower on the chain until the timeout expires. Arrhythmia Alarm Chaining When arrhythmia analysis is switched on, multiple alarm conditions may be present. Announcing all of the detected alarm conditions would be confusing, and might hide a more serious condition. For this reason, arrhythmia alarms are prioritized in three alarm chains: PVC Alarms; Beat Detection Alarms, and Rate Alarms. Only the highest priority alarm condition in each chain is announced. Lower priority alarms in the same chain will not be announced while an alarm is active or during the configured timeout period. If alarm conditions of equal severity from different chains are detected, the alarm condition that occurred most recently is announced. The exception is Irregular HR, which only occurs if no other alarms are occurring. See ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview on page 106 for information on which alarms are included in the different arrhythmia options. See Arrhythmia Alarm Timeout Periods on page 117 for an explanation of how alarm timeouts work. 118 Arrhythmia Alarms 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Red Arrhythmia Alarms Asystole Vent Fib/Tach V-Tach Extreme Tachy/Extreme Brady Yellow Arrhythmia Alarms Beat Detection Alarms Chain Rate Alarms Chain Pause Pacer Not Captured/

*If HR High/Low alarms are configured as standard yellow alarms, they are independent of the arrhythmia alarms and are not in the Rate alarms chain. If there is an active Vent Bigeminy alarm, a PVCs > xx/min will not be triggered because it is lower on the same chain. However, a high HR alarm will become active because it is on a different chain. Higher priority alarms supersede previous alarms. For example, if a Vent Trigeminy alarm is active and a Pair PVCs occurs, the Pair alarm will be activated. Understanding PVC-Related Alarms PVC-related alarms are detected on the basis of the current ventricular heart rate and the number of consecutive PVCs counted (referred to as PVC Runs). Example: This diagram illustrates the conditions under which PVC alarms would be generated if the Vent Rhythm Run limit is set to 12, the V-Tach Run Limit is set to eight, and the V-Tach HR Limit is set to 100. 119 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Arrhythmia Alarms V-Tach Run Limit

This information can be displayed in the form of ST numerics and snippets on the monitor. All available leads can be monitored continuously. The ECG waveform does not need to be displayed on the monitor for ST Segment analysis. ST analysis is always performed using a dedicated filter which ensures diagnostic quality. If you are monitoring ECG using an ECG filter mode other than Diagnostic, the ST segment of the ECG wave may look different from the ST segment of the ST snippet for the same wave. For diagnostic evaluation of the ST segment, always switch to Diagnostic filter mode or use the ST snippet. WARNING Some clinical conditions may make it difficult to achieve reliable ST monitoring, for example:
if you are unable to get a lead that is not noisy if arrhythmias such as atrial fib/flutter are present, which may cause an irregular baseline if the patient is continuously ventricularly paced if the patient has left bundle branch block. You should consider switching ST monitoring off if these conditions are present. This monitor provides ST level change information; the clinical significance of the ST level change information should be determined by a physician. ST segment monitoring is intended for use with adult patients only and is not clinically validated for use with neonatal and pediatric patients. For this reason, the recommended - and default - setting for ST monitoring in neonatal and pediatric modes is ST Analysis: Off. Switching ST On and Off To switch all ST monitoring on or off, in the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Analysis to toggle between On and Off. Selecting Leads for ST Analysis You select which leads to use for ST analysis in the Setup ST Analysis menu. To see the current list of leads selected for ST analysis:
1 Enter the Setup ST Analysis menu. 2 Select Setup ST Leads. This opens the Setup ST Leads pop-up window. Leads chosen for ST monitoring are listed here. There are two pop-up keys at the bottom of the screen:
Add Delete If all leads are already selected, the Add pop-up key is disabled. To choose a lead for ST monitoring:
1 Select the Add key at the bottom of the Setup ST Leads window. This opens the Choices pop-up window. 121 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Understanding the ST Display and Windows 2 Choose a lead from the list for ST monitoring. This closes the Choices window and adds the selected lead to the list of chosen leads. To disable ST monitoring for a lead:
1 Choose a lead from the list in the Setup ST Leads window. 2 Select the Delete key. This removes this lead from the list. NOTE The order in which ST leads are listed in the Setup ST Leads menu determines the order in which ST leads are displayed on the monitor screen. To change the order in which ST leads are displayed, 1 2 In the Setup ST Leads menu, choose a lead from the list. Select the Sort Up or Sort Down key to move the lead up or down in the list. Understanding the ST Display and Windows Your monitor screen may be configured to look slightly different from the illustrations. 2 3 1 ST-II 1.2 ST-V 2.5 ST-aVR -3.0 1 2 3 ST numerics Current HR alarm limits Current heart rate ST Numerics Up to 12 ST numerics plus the ST index can be displayed on the monitor screen. They can be configured to show beside the measurement numerics, beside the ECG wave, or beside the ST snippet. A positive ST value indicates ST segment elevation; a negative value indicates depression. ST numerics are displayed in the order in which you select ST leads for analysis. If there is additional space in the field assigned to ST numerics, the monitor will display extra numerics in the order in which they appear in the Setup ST Analysis -> Setup ST Leads list. Any ST leads switched on for analysis that do not fit in the assigned numerics field are shown in succession in place of the last ST numeric. ST Index The ST index numeric (STindx) is the sum of the absolute values for the ST leads V2, V5, aVF. Because it is based on absolute values, it is always a positive number. If you havent selected one of the leads V2, V5, and aVF for ST analysis, the STindx numeric will display a question mark ?. To switch the ST index numeric on or off for display, in the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST-Index to toggle between On and Off. 122 Updating ST Baseline Snippets 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ST Snippets ST snippets show a one second wave segment for each measured ST lead. The most recent snippet is drawn in the same color as the ECG wave, usually green, superimposed over the stored baseline snippet, drawn in a different color. The comparison shows any deviation in the measurement since the baseline snippet was stored, for example as a result of a procedure carried out on the patient. The information is updated once per minute. You can see ST snippets in the Adjust ST Points window or the ST Baseline window. ST Baseline Window The ST Baseline Window shows an ST snippet drawn on a grid. The current ST numeric and the ST numeric stored with the baseline are shown, as well as the difference between these two numerics. A ? in front of the difference numeric indicates that the ST measurement points were adjusted since the baseline snippet was stored. To view the ST Baseline window, select the ST numerics, then ST Baseline. 1 2 ST-II

ST Snippets and ST values are updated every minute. If there is artifact in the signal, it may take longer for an ST snippet and an ST value to appear. The first baseline is stored automatically after ST monitoring is started, or when a new patient is admitted. To update ST baselines, Select the ST numerics then ST Baseline to open the ST Baseline window. In the ST Baseline window, select Update Baseline to store all current snippets as baselines. This deletes all previously-stored baselines. 1 2 123 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring About the ST Measurement Points About the ST Measurement Points The ST value for each beat complex is the vertical difference between the ISO point and the ST point, as shown in the diagram below. The isoelectric (ISO) point provides the baseline, the ST point is at the midpoint of the ST segment. The J point is where the QRS complex changes its slope; as it is a fixed distance away from the ST point, it can be useful to help you position the ST point correctly. R-wave peak at 0 msec J point, for example, 48 msec T Difference = ST value P Q S Isoelectric point set to -80 msec ST measurement point, for example, J + 60 msec CAUTION The ST measurement points need to be adjusted when you start monitoring, and if the patient's heart rate or ECG morphology changes significantly, as this may affect the size of the QT interval and thus the placement of the ST point. Artifactual ST segment depression or elevation may occur if the isoelectric point or the ST point is incorrectly set. Always ensure that ST measurement points are appropriate for your patient. Adjusting ST Measurement Points Depending on your monitors configuration, the ST point can be positioned either relative to the J-point. In the Adjust ST Points window, the pop-up keys ISO Point, J Point and ST Point are visible and can be adjusted. or directly by selecting a numeric value for the ST point. In the Adjust ST Points window, you can adjust the ISO and ST point. The ST Uses setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. To adjust the ST measurement points, In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select Adjust ST Points to open the Adjust ST Points window. Alternatively, you can use the Adjust ST Points pop-up key in the ST Baseline window. Select a suitable ECG lead for ST measurement, with a visible J-point and a visible P wave. Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the ST snippets for the other ECG leads. 1 2 124 About the ST Measurement Points 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring 3 Select the ST point you need to adjust by touching the appropriate point on the screen.

The relation is shown beside the ISO-point in milliseconds. Position the ISO-point in the middle of the flattest part of the baseline (between the P and Q waves or in front of the P wave). ISO The J-point cursor positions the J-point relative to the R-wave peak. It helps you to correctly position the ST-point. Position the J-point at the end of the QRS complex and the beginning of the ST segment. The J-point cursor is not available if your monitor is configured to let you set the ST point directly. To position the ST-point relative to the J-point:
select either J + 60 or J + 80. Select J Point and use the arrow keys to move the J-Point and position the ST-point at the midpoint of the ST segment. To position the ST-point directly:
select ST Point and use the left and right arrow keys to position the ST point at the midpoint of the ST segment. Select the Apply Changes pop-up key to activate the new ST measurement points and recalculate all ST values. The most recent ST Points adjustment time is displayed in the Adjust ST Points window. This information is cleared when a patient is discharged or when a new Profile is loaded into the monitor. 4 125 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring ST Alarms 5 To update the ST snippet shown in the Adjust ST Points window, select the Update pop-
up key. ST Alarms ST alarms are yellow alarms. Each ST lead has its own alarm limit. ST alarms are triggered when an ST value exceeds its alarm limit for more than one minute. Switching ST alarms off switches off alarms for all ST leads. If more than one ST measurement is in alarm, the monitor only displays the alarm message of the ST lead which is currently furthest from its set alarm limits. Single- or Multi-lead ST Alarming Be aware that if multi-lead ST alarming is switched on, only alarms involving more than one ST lead will be announced. To choose individual or multi-lead ST alarming, In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Alarm Mode and select either Single ST or Multi ST. Changing ST Alarm Limits The monitor can detect alarms on each ST lead separately, so you can set high and low ST alarm limits individually for each ST lead. You can also set separate alarm limits for single-lead and multi-lead ST monitoring. Set the high and low alarm limits based on your assessment of the patient's clinical condition, unit protocols, physician orders or medication specified limits. A good guideline is + 1.0 mm or - 1.0 mm from the patients's ST, or follow your hospital protocol. In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Alarm Mode and select Single ST or Multi ST. Select the alarm to be adjusted. 1 2 3 Select the appropriate setting. Viewing ST Maps The monitor can derive a multi-axis portrait (map) from the ST analysis to help you detect changes in ST values. It displays two planes obtained from a multilead ECG in a multi-axis diagram, where each axis represents a lead. The ST value at the J point is given. The position of the axes within the diagram correspond to the placement of the ECG leads. Each ST value is assigned to either a limb lead, or to a chest lead. Every axis shows the polarity of the lead it represents. By joining adjacent ST values, the monitor obtains the ST map. The contour line, and the map shading, is shown in the same color as the ECG parameter. Current View In current view, the monitor displays an ST map that corresponds to the current ST values. Three or more leads per plane are necessary to display a map. The left of the following diagram shows leads I, II, III, aVR, aVL, and aVF on the limb leads. On the right, the V-leads (V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6) are on the chest leads. 126 Viewing ST Maps 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring SBed10 Adult ST Map (Current) ST-II HIGH Limb Leads Chest Leads Size Up Trend View Size Down Select Interval Show Baseline Print Show Values If an ST lead is switched off, its axis is not shown in the map. ST map ST label and polarity of corresponding lead Scroll to view more pop-up keys If a lead is in INOP (the value is being measured but is invalid or unavailable because, for example, the corresponding ECG electrode is unplugged), the area formed by the remaining ST leads is left open. If there is insufficient information (for example, there are less than three chest leads) for a second ST map to be displayed, the currently available ST values are displayed in place of the second ST map. Limb Leads ST-I ST-II ST-aVR ST-aVL ST-aVF 127 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Viewing ST Maps Additionally, when both ST maps are displayed, you can view the currently available ST values in the ST Map window (Current or Trend) at any time. To do this, select the Show Values pop-up key. The ST values are shown in place of the second ST map, and the pop-up key text changes to Hide Values. Select the Hide Values pop-up key and the display shows both ST maps again.

Select the Show Values pop-up key to see the current ST values. Select Hide Values and the display shows both ST maps again. Trend View In trend view, you can see up to four trended ST maps, and the current ST map, simultaneously. You can configure the time interval between trended samples. The most recent map is shown in the same color as the parameter itself. Past values change from white through dark gray. In the diagram below, the time interval between trends is 12 seconds. The first trended sample is white and is 12 seconds old. The second trended sample corresponds to the ST values 24 seconds ago and so forth. The ST values on the diagrams show the current ST values. If a lead is turned off, its axis is no longer shown. This has no impact on the presentation of trended values that were recorded while the lead was still on. In the diagram below, lead V4 was switched off 20 seconds ago. The current ST values and the first trended value reflect this change in the lead setup. All other maps are displayed the way in which they were recorded.

No data was recorded. Consequently, the affected maps are not closed. Viewing an ST Map To display an ST map, In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Map. Working in the ST Map Task Window You may need to activate the ST map task window to see all the data, and to access the pop-up keys. Select the map view on screen to activate its task window. Once you activate it, you can perform the tasks detailed here. Switching Between ST Map Views To switch between views, Select Current View or Trend View to toggle between views. If your trend view is empty, you need to adjust the priority of this measurement in the trending priority list. See Trend Priority on page 195. Displaying an ST Reference Baseline You can display an ST reference baseline for the current view, or for the trended view. The baseline is shown in yellow. However, if the ECG color is yellow, the baseline is shown in green. Use this baseline to detect ST changes. The baseline is derived automatically whenever the monitor relearns arrhythmia and also on user request. Select Show Baseline/Hide Baseline to toggle between baseline display on and off. Updating an ST Map Reference Baseline To update the baseline, In the Setup ST Analysis menu, select ST Baseline -> Update baseline. Changing the Scale of the ST Map To change scale, Select Size Up or Size Down to alter the size at which monitor displays the map. 129 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Viewing ST Maps Changing the Trending Interval To determine how frequently the monitor displays a trended sample, In Trend view, select Select Interval. Select the required interval from the menu. The interval ranges between 12 seconds to 30 minutes. 1 2 Printing an ST Map Report To print the most recently viewed (current or trend) window, Select Main Setup - > Reports. Select ST Map. Press Print. 1 2 3 130 About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring The QT interval is defined as the time between the beginning of the Q-wave and the end of the T-wave. It measures the total duration of the depolarization (QRS duration) and repolarization (ST-T) phases of the ventricular action potential. QT interval monitoring can assist in the detection of prolonged QT interval syndrome. R P T Q S QT interval The QT interval has an inverse relationship to heart rate. Faster heart rates shorten the QT interval and slower heart rates prolong the QT interval. Therefore there are several formulas used to correct the QT interval for heart rate. The heart rate corrected QT interval is abbreviated as QTc. The monitor uses as a default the Bazett correction formula and the alternative Fridericia formula can be selected in Configuration Mode. For QT interval monitoring to be effective, basic or enhanced arrhythmia monitoring should be turned on. QT Measurement Algorithm The QT values are updated every five minutes except in the initial phase (first five minutes) where they are updated once per minute. Normal or atrial paced beats and beats with a similar morphology are averaged to form a representative waveform for further processing. Normal beats followed by a premature QRS will be excluded from the measurements to prevent the premature beat from obscuring the end of the T-wave. If the algorithm cannot form a representative waveform, for example because the morphology of the beats is too varied, a CANNOT ANALYZE QT INOP will be generated after 10 minutes. This is also the case if normal beats have been falsely labelled so that the algorithm does not have enough valid beats to make QT measurements. No QT value is calculated if the QT-HR is
>150 bpm (Adult) or >180 bpm (Pedi/Neo). Because of the different algorithm approaches, a QT/QTc measurement from a diagnostic 12-lead program may differ from the realtime measurement on the monitor. Where Can I Find More Information?
See the Application Note on QT/QTc Interval Monitoring and the QT Interval Monitoring Quick Guide supplied on your documentation DVD for detailed information on the QT algorithm and performance. 131 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring Indications For Use Of QT Interval Monitoring Of special concern for QT monitoring is the administration of QT prolonging drugs to patients identified with risk factors for Torsade de Pointe. Females, older patients and patients with bradycardia, impaired left ventricular function (ischemia, left ventricular hypertrophy), hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia are in this increased risk category. Limitations For Use Of QT Interval Monitoring Some conditions may make it difficult to achieve reliable QT monitoring, for example:
the T-wave is very flat T-waves are not well defined due to atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation the end of the T-wave is difficult to define because of the presence of U-waves a high heart rate causes the P-wave to encroach on the end of the previous T-wave noise or high QRS morphology variation For these cases you should select a lead with a good T-wave amplitude and no visible flutter activity, and without a predominant U-wave or P-wave. Some conditions such as left or right bundle branch block or hypertrophy can lead to a widened QRS complex. If a long QTc is observed you should verify it to ensure that it is not caused by QRS widening. Because normal beats followed by ventricular beats are not included in the analysis, no QT measurement will be generated in the presence of a bigeminy rhythm. If the heart rate is extremely high (over 150 bpm for adults and over 180 bpm for pediatrics and neonates) QT will not be measured. When the heart rate changes, it can take several minutes for the QT interval to stabilize. For reliable QTc calculation it is important to avoid a region where the heart rate is changing. WARNING QT/QTc measurements should always be verified by a qualified clinician. Selecting The QT Leads For QT Monitoring you can select one of the following three modes:
All Leads mode - all available leads (I, II, III, V, MCL, V1 - V6) are used to produce a global QT measurement. For EASI lead placement, directly acquired AI, AS and ES leads are used. Primary-Lead mode - the primary lead will be used for QT measurement. If the original primary lead becomes unavailable or is changed, QT measurement will continue with the new primary lead. Single-Lead mode - a single lead selected from all available leads (except the augmented leads) will be used for QT measurement. QT measurement will stop if the selected lead becomes unavailable. To select the mode, Select the QT numeric to enter the Setup QT Analysis window. Select QT Lead and select All, Primary Lead or one of the available single leads. 1 2 When using the All Leads mode, make sure when you compare QT values that they are based on the same set of leads. 132 About QT/QTc Interval Monitoring 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Changing the lead(s) used for QT measurements will not cause the baseline to be reset. QT View In the QT View window you can verify that the QT algorithm detects correct Q and T points. The current waves are shown in the upper half of the window and the baseline waves in a different color below. The Q and T points are marked with a vertical line. By selecting one of the lead labels at the top of the window you can highlight the corresponding wave; the other waves are shown in gray. The underlined lead labels are the leads used for the QT calculation. By selecting the numeric area you can highlight all underlined leads. Changing The View To A Single Wave Set To view one set of waves in a larger scale, you can cycle through the different views, Select Current view to see the set of current waves. Select Baseline view to see the set of baseline waves. Select Split view to return to the combined view with current and baseline waves. 1 2 3 Setting The QT Baseline In order to quantify changes in the QTc value, you can set a QTc baseline. For example to assess the effect of medication on the QT interval you can set the current value as the baseline before you begin medication. This baseline will then be used to calculate the 'QTc value. To set the baseline, Select Set Baseline and set the value. 133 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring QT Alarms If no baseline has been set for this patient, the first five minute value after the start of monitoring is automatically set as baseline. If you set a new baseline the previous baseline is discarded. As the 'QTc alarm is based on the difference between the baseline and the current value, setting an inappropriate new baseline may prevent a 'QTc alarm from being generated. Discharging a patient clears the baseline. Printing The QT Waves To start a printout, Select Print QT. Recording The QT Waves To start a recording, Select Record QT. QT Alarms There are two QT alarms, QTc high limit alarm and 'QTc high alarm. The QTc high limit alarm is generated when the QTc value exceeds the set limit for more than 5 minutes. The 'QTc alarm is generated when the difference between the current value and the baseline value exceeds the set limit for more than 5 minutes. The CANNOT ANALYZE QT INOP and the ?_will be displayed when no QT measurement could be calculated for 10 minutes. Up to this time the previous valid value will be displayed. The following additional messages on the cause of the invalid measurements may also be displayed. Additional Message QT Startup Asystole or Leads Off Cause of Invalid QT Measurement QT monitoring was just turned on or has been reset 1 Not all specified leads needed to perform QT analysis are available, or 2 Asystole condition is detected Not enough valid QRS complexes to generate a QT measurement Insufficient Valid Leads Invalid rhythm for QTc Not enough valid RR intervals to generate QT-HR, the averaged HR High QT-HR used for QTc calculation QT-HR exceeds the specified upper limit of 150 bpm (for adults) or 180 bpm (for neonates and pediatrics) R-wave of the signal is too small T-wave of the signal is too small End of the T-Wave cannot be accurately detected QT measurement is outside the specified range of valid QT values (200-

To switch an alarm on or off, in the Setup QT Analysis menu, select QTc Alarm or
'QTc Alarm to toggle between On and Off. Changing QTc Alarm Limits Set the high alarm limits based on your assessment of the patient's clinical condition, unit protocols, physician orders or medication specified limits. In the Setup QT Analysis menu, select High Limit. Select the appropriate setting. Select 'High Limit. Select the appropriate setting. 1 2 3 4 Switching QT Monitoring On and Off To switch all QT monitoring on or off, in the Setup QT Analysis menu, select QT Analys. to switch between On and Off. 135 7 ECG, Arrhythmia, ST and QT Monitoring Switching QT Monitoring On and Off 136 8 8Monitoring Pulse Rate The pulse numeric counts the arterial pulsations that result from the mechanical activity of the heart in beats per minute (bpm). You can display a pulse from any measured SpO2 signal (pleth wave), or any arterial pressure (P, ABP, ART, Ao, PAP, UAP, FAP, BAP: see the pressure section for an explanation of the pressure labels). The displayed pulse numeric is labeled and color-coded to match its source wave. If the pulse numeric is not displayed, see the Setup Pulse menu to check whether it is switched on. Entering the Setup Pulse Menu If a pulse numeric is displayed on the screen, select it to enter the Setup Pulse (Pulse Source) menu. If no pulse numeric is visible, in the Setup SpO2 menu or a Setup arterial pressure menu, select Pulse (Pulse Source). System Pulse Source The currently selected system pulse source is shown in the setup menus of the pulse source measurements. The pulse rate chosen as system pulse:
is monitored as system pulse and generates alarms when you select pulse as the active alarm source is sent via the network to the Information Center, if available is trended in the HighRes Trends and stored in the monitors databases. To define which pulse rate is used as system pulse, 1 2 In the Setup Pulse menu, select System Pulse. Select one of the SpO2 or arterial pressure labels from the pop-up list, or select Auto. If you select Auto, the monitor automatically chooses a pulse rate to be used as system pulse. It looks through the list from top to bottom and activates the first pulse rate that is switched on and available. If your selected pulse source measurement becomes unavailable or is switched off, the monitor will use the next measurement from the list as system pulse until the selected pulse source measurement becomes available again. 137 8 Monitoring Pulse Rate Switching Pulse On and Off Switching Pulse On and Off To switch a particular pulse numeric on or off, enter the Setup Pulse menu via the measurement setup menu or wave menu of the pulse source. For example, to switch an SpO2 pulse numeric on or off, 1 Enter the Setup Pulse menu by selecting the Pulse numeric or by selecting Pulse in the Setup SpO2 menu. In the Setup Pulse menu, select Pulse (Pulse Source) to toggle between On and Off. 2 Using Pulse Alarms You can change pulse rate alarm limits in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu which can be accessed from the Setup Pulse menu or the Setup ECG menu by selecting AlarmSrc (xxx) where xxx is the current alarm source. Changing the alarm limits for a specific Pulse numeric changes the alarm limits for all pulse rate alarms and heart rate alarms. Pulse alarms are only generated when the active alarm source is set to Pulse, a pulse source is set as system pulse and pulse alarms are switched on. Selecting the Active Alarm Source: ECG or Pulse?
In most cases the HR and Pulse numerics are identical. In order to avoid simultaneous alarms on HR and Pulse, the monitor uses either ECG or Pulse as its active alarm source. To change the alarm source, select AlarmSrc in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu, then select ECG: if you want the HR to be the alarm source for HR/Pulse. Pulse: If you select Pulse as the active alarm source, the monitor will prompt you to confirm your choice. Be aware that if you select Pulse as the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched off. Auto: If the AlarmSrc is set to Auto, the monitor will use the heart rate from the ECG measurement as the alarm source whenever the ECG measurement is switched on and at least one ECG lead can be measured without an INOP condition. The monitor will automatically switch to Pulse as the alarm source if:
a valid ECG lead can no longer be measured and a Pulse source is switched on and available, The monitor then uses the pulse rate from the measurement currently active as system pulse. While Pulse is the alarm source, all arrhythmia and ECG HR alarms are switched off. If an ECG lead becomes available again, the monitor automatically uses HR as alarm source. Note: If ECG is switched off, the monitor will always change to Pulse as alarm source, if a Pulse is available. One exception to this rule can arise when you have a telemetry device paired with your monitor. The monitor ECG is then deactivated but the monitor may be configured to allow only ECG as the active alarm source. In this case the monitor will not switch to Pulse as alarm source and Pulse will not be available as a selection in the ECG/Pulse Alarms menu. 138 Using Pulse Alarms 8 Monitoring Pulse Rate WARNING Selecting Pulse as the active alarm source for HR/Pulse switches off the arrhythmia alarms listed in the section ECG and Arrhythmia Alarm Overview on page 106, including Asystole, Vfib and Vtach alarms, and the heart rate alarms. This is indicated by the message ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF (unless this has been configured off for your monitor), and the crossed-out alarm symbol beside the ECG heart rate numeric. The message ECG/ARRH ALARM OFF can be configured off, or to switch to a yellow
(medium severity) INOP after a fixed number of hours. High and low pulse rate and extreme bradycardia and extreme tachycardia alarms from pulse are active. Alarm Source Selection Disabled If Alarm Source Selection is disabled, you cannot change the alarm source. If you try to change the source, the monitor displays the message To activate enter Config and enable Alarm Source Selection. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. Changing HR/Pulse Alarm Limits As Pulse and HR share the same high and low alarm limits, if you change the alarm limit in the Setup Pulse menu, the high or low alarm limits for HR in the Setup ECG menu change automatically, and vice versa. The only exceptions are caused by a low limit clamp for each measurement: the lowest value for Pulse when derived from SpO2 is 30 bpm; for HR 15 bpm, and for Pressure 25 bpm. Extreme Alarm Limits The extreme rate alarms, Extreme Tachy and Extreme Brady, generated by the active alarm source, either HR or Pulse, are set in Configuration Mode by adding a set value to the high and low alarm limits. You need to know what value has been configured for your monitor. Changing the high and low alarm limits automatically changes the extreme alarm limits within the allowed range. To see the values added to the high and low limit alarms to create the extreme rate alarms for your monitor, in the Setup ECG menu, see the menu items Extr.Tachy and Extr.Brady. QRS Tone The active alarm source is also used as a source for the QRS tone. You can change the tone volume in the Setup SpO2 and Setup ECG menus and the QRS tone modulation in the Setup SpO2 menu. WARNING The audible QRS tone might be influenced by external interference and is not intended to be used as a substitute for ECG based arrhythmia analysis. If arrhythmia detection is needed, do not rely on the audible QRS tone. There will be no QRS tone when the X2 is connected to a host monitor. 139 8 Monitoring Pulse Rate Using Pulse Alarms 140 9 9Monitoring Respiration Rate
(Resp) For the respiratory measurement (Resp), the monitor measures the thoracic impedance between two ECG electrodes on the patients chest. Changes in the impedance due to thoracic movement produce the Resp waveform on the monitor screen. The monitor counts the waveform cycles to calculate the respiration rate (RR). Lead Placement for Monitoring Resp Correct patient skin preparation techniques for electrode placement are important for Resp measurement: you will find this information in the chapter on ECG. The Resp measurement uses the standard ECG cable sets and lead placements. You can use any of the different types of ECG cable sets - 3-lead, 5-lead, 6-lead or 10-lead, using either standard or EASI placement - to measure Resp, as long as you use ICU ECG cables. The Resp signal is always measured between two of the ECG electrodes. If you are using standard ECG electrode placement, Resp is measured between the RA and LL electrodes. If you are using EASI ECG electrode placement, Resp is measured between the I and A electrodes. Optimizing Lead Placement for Resp If you want to measure Resp and you are already measuring ECG, you may need to optimize placement of the two electrodes between which Resp will be measured for some patients. Repositioning ECG electrodes from standard positions, especially when you are using EASI ECG electrode placement, results in changes in the ECG waveform and may influence ST and arrhythmia interpretation. Cardiac Overlay 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 electrode placement can help to reduce cardiac overlay: avoid the liver area and the ventricles of the heart in the line between the respiratory electrodes. This is particularly important for neonates. 141 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Understanding the Resp Display Lateral Chest Expansion Some patients, especially neonates, expand their chests laterally. In these cases it is best to place the two respiratory electrodes in the right midaxillary and left lateral chest areas at the patients maximum point of breathing movement to optimize the respiratory wave. Abdominal Breathing Some patients with restricted chest movement breathe mainly abdominally. In these cases, you may need to place the left leg electrode on the left abdomen at the point of maximum abdominal expansion to optimize the respiratory wave. Understanding the Resp Display The Resp measurement is displayed on the monitor as a continuous wave and a numeric respiration rate. If the detected respiration rate is close to the heart rate, this is indicated by the text HR = RR next to the respiration wave if you are in manual monitoring mode. Your monitor screen may look slightly different from the illustration. 1 Ohm calibration bar Manually-set Resp detection level Resp 1 Ohm Resp numeric and label 22RR Changing Resp Detection Modes The Resp detection level can be set either automatically or manually. To change the resp detection mode, in the Setup Resp menu, select Detection to toggle between the settings. Auto Detection Mode In Auto Detection Mode, the monitor adjusts the detection level automatically, depending on the wave height and the presence of cardiac artifact. Note that in Auto Detection Mode, the detection level (a dotted line) is not displayed on the waveform, 142 Changing the Size of the Respiration Wave 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) the algorithm expects a heart rate and therefore needs at least 3 electrodes attached to the patient. If you are monitoring respiration with only two electrodes, the detection algorithm becomes less sensitive which may result in reduced breath detection performance. Use Auto Detection Mode for situations where:
the respiration rate is not close to the heart rate breathing is spontaneous, with or without continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) patients are ventilated, except patients with Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (IMV). Manual Detection Mode In Manual Detection Mode you must set the Resp detection level. In the Setup Resp menu, select Manual Up or Manual Down. Use the dotted detection level line in the Resp waveform to determine when the desired level is reached. Once set, the detection level will not adapt automatically to different respiration depths. It is important to remember that if the depth of breathing changes, you may need to change the detection level. Use Manual Detection Mode for situations where:
the respiration rate and the heart rate are close. patients have Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation. respiration is weak. Try repositioning the electrodes to improve the signal. Resp Detection Modes and Cardiac Overlay In Auto Detection Mode: If you are monitoring Resp and the ECG is switched off, the monitor cannot compare the ECG and Resp rates to detect cardiac overlay. The respiration detection level is automatically set higher to prevent the detection of cardiac overlay as respiration. In Manual Detection Mode: Cardiac overlay can in certain situations trigger the respiration counter. This may lead to a false indication of a high respiration rate or an undetected apnea condition. If you suspect that cardiac overlay is being registered as breathing activity, raise the detection level above the zone of cardiac overlay. If the Resp wave is so small that raising the detection level is not possible, you may need to optimize the electrode placement as described in the section Lateral Chest Expansion. Changing the Size of the Respiration Wave 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 Setup Resp menu, select Size Up to increase the size of the wave or Size Down to decrease it. 143 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Changing the Speed of the Respiration Wave Changing the Speed of the Respiration Wave Resp waveforms are usually viewed at a slower speed than other waveforms. For this reason, the Resp measurement has its own speed control and is not affected by the wave speed settings of the other measurements. Select the Resp wave to enter the Resp Wave menu, then select Change Speed. Choose the required speed from the pop-up list. This defines the speed at which the wave is drawn across the screen in millimeters per second (mm/s). Using Resp Alarms Resp alarms can be switched on and off and the high and low alarm limits can be changed just like other measurement alarms, as described in the Alarms chapter. Changing the Apnea Alarm Delay The apnea alarm is a high priority red alarm used to detect apneas. The apnea alarm delay time defines the time period between the point where the monitor cannot detect any respiration activity and the indication of the apnea alarm. In the Setup Resp menu, select Apnea Time. Select the appropriate setting. 1 2 Resp Safety Information WARNING Respiration detection level If you do not set the detection level for the respiration correctly in manual detection mode, it may not be possible for the monitor to detect apnea. If you set the detection level too low, the monitor is more likely to detect cardiac activity, and to falsely interpret cardiac activity as respiratory activity in the case of apnea. Apnea The respiration measurement does not recognize obstructive and mixed apneas it only indicates an alarm when a pre-adjusted time has elapsed since the last detected breath. The safety and effectiveness of the respiration measurement method in the detection of apnea, particularly the apnea of prematurity and apnea of infancy, has not been established. Interference If operating under conditions according to the EMC Standard EN 60601-1-2 (Radiated Immunity 3V/m), field strengths above 1V/m may cause erroneous measurements at various frequencies. Therefore it is recommended to avoid the use of electrically radiating equipment in close proximity to the respiration measurement unit. Resp Accessories To monitor respiration, use only the non-OR ECG accessories listed in the Resp section of the accessories chapter. You cannot measure respiration if you are using an orange OR ECG cable set. This is because of the higher internal impedance of the OR cable set, required for use if electro-surgery is being performed. 144 Resp Safety Information 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Rate adaptive pacemakers: Implanted pacemakers which can adapt to the Minute Ventilation rate may occasionally react on the Impedance measurement used by patient monitors for the determination of the Resp value and execute pacing with the maximum programmed rate. Switching off the Resp measurement can prevent this. 145 9 Monitoring Respiration Rate (Resp) Resp Safety Information 146 10 10Monitoring SpO2 Philips pulse oximetry uses a motion-tolerant signal processing algorithm, based on Fourier artefact suppression technology (FAST). It provides four measurements:
Oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO2) - percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin in relation to the sum of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin (functional arterial oxygen saturation). Pleth waveform - visual indication of patients pulse. Pulse rate (derived from pleth wave) - detected pulsations per minute. Perfusion indicator - numerical value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by arterial pulsation. The monitors are also compatible with SpO2 technologies from other manufacturers. Please refer to the instructions for use provided with these devices for further information. SpO2 Sensors Depending on the purchased SpO2 option, different sensors and adapter cables can be used. The sensors for the different options are color-coded to match the connectors. See the section on Accessories for a compatibility table. Familiarize yourself with the instructions for use supplied with your sensor before using it. In particular, check that the sensor being used is appropriate for your patient category and application site. CAUTION Do not use OxiCliq disposable sensors in a high humidity environment, such as in neonatal incubators or in the presence of fluids, which may contaminate sensor and electrical connections causing unreliable or intermittent measurements. Do not use disposable sensors on patients who have allergic reactions to the adhesive. Applying the Sensor 1 Follow the SpO2 sensors instructions for use, adhering to all warnings and cautions. 2 Remove colored nail polish from the application site. 3 Apply the sensor to the patient. The application site should match the sensor size so that the sensor can neither fall off, nor apply excessive pressure. When using the M1195A Infant Finger Sensor, 147 10 Monitoring SpO2 Connecting SpO2 Cables select a finger or toe with a diameter of between 7 and 8 mm (0.27 and 0.31). When applying a M1193A neonatal sensor do not overtighten the strap. 4 Check that the light emitter and the photodetector are directly opposite each other. All light from the emitter must pass through the patients tissue. WARNING Loose Sensor: If a sensor is too loose, it might compromise the optical alignment or fall off. If it is too tight, for example because the application site is too large or becomes too large due to edema, excessive pressure may be applied. This can result in venous congestion distal from the application site, leading to interstitial edema, hypoxemia and tissue malnutrition. Skin irritations or lacerations may occur as a result of the sensor being attached to one location for too long. To avoid skin irritations and lacerations, periodically inspect the sensor application site and change the application site at least every four hours. Venous Pulsation: Do not apply sensor too tightly as this results in venous pulsation which may severely obstruct circulation and lead to inaccurate measurements. Ambient Temperature: At elevated ambient temperatures be careful with measurement sites that are not well perfused, because this can cause severe burns after prolonged application. All listed sensors operate without risk of exceeding 41C on the skin if the initial skin temperature does not exceed 35C. Extremities to Avoid: Avoid placing the sensor on extremities with an arterial catheter, or intravascular venous infusion line. Connecting SpO2 Cables Connect the sensor cable to the color-coded socket on the X2. You can connect some Philips sensors directly to the measurement device. For other sensors, use the corresponding adapter cable. CAUTION Extension cables: Do not use more than one extension cable (M1941A). Do not use an extension cable with Philips reusable sensors or adapter cables with part numbers ending in -L (indicates long cable version). Electrical Interference: Position the sensor cable and connector away from power cables, to avoid electrical interference. Humidity: For neonatal patients, make sure that all sensor connectors and adapter cable connectors are outside the incubator. The humid atmosphere inside can cause inaccurate measurements. Measuring SpO2 1 Select the correct patient category setting (adult/pediatric and neonatal), as this is used to optimize the calculation of the SpO2 and pulse numerics. 2 During measurement, ensure that the application site:
has a pulsatile flow, ideally with a perfusion indicator value above 1.0. has not changed in its thickness (for example, due to edema), causing an improper fit of the sensor. 148 SpO2 Signal Quality Indicator (Fast SpO2 only) 10 Monitoring SpO2 WARNING Inspect the application site every two to three hours to ensure skin quality and correct optical alignment. If the skin quality changes, move the sensor to another site. Change the application site at least every four hours. CAUTION Injected dyes such as methylene blue, or intravascular dyshemoglobins such as methemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin may lead to inaccurate measurements. Interference can be caused by:
High levels of ambient light or strobe lights or flashing lights (such as fire alarm lamps). (Hint:
cover application site with opaque material.) Electromagnetic interference. Excessive patient movement and vibration. SpO2 Signal Quality Indicator (Fast SpO2 only) The SpO2 numeric is displayed together with a signal quality indicator (if configured and enough space is available) which gives an indication of the reliability of the current values. The level to which the triangle is filled shows the quality of the signal; the indicator below shows a medium signal quality, the signal quality is at a maximum when the triangle is completely filled. SpO2 Assessing a Suspicious SpO2 Reading Traditionally, pulse rate from SpO2 was compared with heart rate from ECG to confirm the validity of the SpO2 reading. With newer algorithms, such as FAST-SpO2, this is no longer a valid criteria because the correct calculation of SpO2 is not directly linked to the correct detection of each pulse. When pulse rate is very low, or strong arrhythmia is present, the SpO2/Pleth pulse rate may differ from the heart rate calculated from ECG but this does not indicate an inaccurate SpO2 value. If you doubt the measured SpO2, use the signal quality indicator (if available) or the pleth wave and perfusion indicator instead to assess the signal quality. NOTE With pulse oximetry, sensor movement, ambient light (especially strobe lights or flashing lights) or electromagnetic interference can give unexpected intermittent readings when the sensor is not attached to a patient. Especially bandage-type sensor designs are sensitive to minimal sensor movement that might occur when the sensor is dangling. 149 10 Monitoring SpO2 Changing the Averaging Time Changing the Averaging Time Depending on the monitor configuration, you may be able to change the averaging time for the SpO2 values. The averaging time represents the approximate time period used for the calculation. The exact averaging algorithm depends on the SpO2 technology (option) used and on the signal conditions. The longer the averaging time, the longer the time needed until the SpO2 value reflects the physiological event. Fast averaging is useful for situations where an extremely fast measurement is required or few artifacts are expected. Use slow averaging where you expect the number of artifacts to be relatively high. In the SpO2 Setup, select Average. Select the required averaging time from the list. 1 2 Setting the Measurement Mode When a telemetry device supplies SpO2T to the monitor via short range radio transmission, the monitor will have a manual measurement mode available. This allows SpO2 measurements to be made on request and not continuously, helping to save the telemetry devices battery power. To set the measurement mode, In the SpO2 Setup, select Mode. Select Continuous or Manual mode. 1 2 Making a Manual Measurement When the measurement mode is set to manual, In the SpO2 Setup, select Measure SpO2. When manual measurements are made, there will be no continuous SpO2 monitoring or alarming. The manual measurement value reflects a momentary status. The numerics from SpO2T measurements made in manual mode, for example SpO2T, PerfT, PulseT, will remain for a time on the main screen. They are annotated with the time that the measurement was made to distinguish them from continuously measured values. Perf T Understanding SpO2 Alarms This refers to SpO2 specific alarms. See the Alarms section for general alarm information. SpO2 offers high and low limit alarms, and a high priority desat alarm. You cannot set the low alarm limit below the desat alarm limit. 150 Pleth Wave 10 Monitoring SpO2 CAUTION If you measure SpO2 on a limb that has an inflated NBP cuff, a non-pulsatile SpO2 INOP can occur. If the monitor is configured to suppress this alarm there may be a delay of up to 60 seconds in indicating critical patient status, such as sudden pulse loss or hypoxia. Alarm Delays There is a delay between a physiological event at the measurement site and the corresponding alarm at the monitor. This delay has two components:
The time between the occurrence of the physiological event and when this event is represented by the displayed numerical values. This delay depends on the algorithmic processing and the configured averaging time. The longer the averaging time configured, the longer the time needed until the numerical values reflect the physiological event. The time between the displayed numerical values crossing an alarm limit and the alarm indication on the monitor. This delay is the combination of the configured alarm delay time plus the general system delay time (see Monitor Performance Specifications on page 254). Adjusting the Alarm Limits In the Setup SpO2 menu:
Touch the high limit on the alarm limits menu button. Choose the high alarm limit from the pop-
up list that opens. Touch the low limit on the alarm limits menu button. Choose the low alarm limit from the pop-up list that opens. WARNING High oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to retrolental fibroplasia. If this is a consideration do NOT set the high alarm limit to 100%, which is equivalent to switching the alarm off. Adjusting the Desat Limit Alarm The Desat alarm is a high priority (red) alarm notifying you of potentially life threatening drops in oxygen saturation. In the Setup SpO2 menu, select DesatLimit. 1 2 Adjust the limit. Pleth Wave The Pleth wave is autoscaled to maximum display size. It decreases only when the signal quality becomes marginal. It is NOT directly proportional to the pulse volume. If you need an indication of change in pulse volume, use the perfusion indicator. 151 10 Monitoring SpO2 Perfusion Numeric minimum size for reliable SpO2 value Perfusion Numeric The perfusion numeric (Perf) gives a value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by the pulsating arterial blood flow. As pulse oximetry is based on the pulsatile nature of the signal, you can also use the perfusion numeric as a quality indicator for the SpO2 measurement. Above 1 is optimal, between 0.3-1 is acceptable. Below 0.3 is marginal; reposition the sensor or find a better site. Perfusion Change Indicator The perfusion change indicator is a graphic symbol which shows the change in the perfusion value, relative to a reference value which you can set. To set the current perfusion value as the reference value:
In the Setup SpO2 menu, select Set Perf Ref.. When a reference value has been set, the perfusion change indicator is displayed next to the perfusion numeric. Perfusion change indicator Setting SpO2/Pleth as Pulse Source In the Setup SpO2 menu, select Pulse (SpO2) to enter the Setup Pulse menu. In the Setup Pulse menu, select SystPulse and select SpO2 from the pop-up list. 1 2 Setting Up Tone Modulation If tone modulation is on, the QRS tone pitch lowers when the SpO2 level drops. Remember, the QRS tone is derived from either heart rate or pulse depending on which is currently selected as the active alarm source. In the Setup SpO2 menu, select Tone Mod. to toggle between Yes (for on) and No (for off). 152 Setting the QRS Volume 10 Monitoring SpO2 Tone modulation is licensed under US patent US 4,653,498 from Nellcor Puritan Bennett Incorporated. Setting the QRS Volume In the Setup SpO2 menu, select QRS Volume and set the appropriate QRS tone volume. When the X2 is connected to a host monitor there will be no QRS tone. 153 10 Monitoring SpO2 Setting the QRS Volume 154 11 11Monitoring NBP This monitor uses the oscillometric method for measuring NBP. In adult and pediatric mode, the blood pressure measurements determined with this device comply with the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers (ANSI/AAMI SP10-1992) in relation to mean error and standard deviation, when compared to intra-arterial or auscultatory measurements
(depending on the configuration) in a representative patient population. For the auscultatory reference, the fifth Korotkoff sound was used to determine the diastolic pressure. In neonatal mode, the blood pressure measurements determined with this device comply with the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers (ANSI/AAMI SP10-
1992) in relation to mean error and standard deviation, when compared to intra-arterial measurements in a representative patient population. The NBP measurement is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgery and during the discharge of a cardiac defibrillator according to IEC 601-2-30:1999/EN 60601-2-30:2000. A physician must determine the clinical significance of the NBP information. Introducing the Oscillometric NBP Measurement Oscillometric devices measure the amplitude of pressure changes in the occluding cuff as the cuff deflates from above systolic pressure. The amplitude suddenly increases as the pulse breaks through the occlusion in the artery. As the cuff pressure decreases further, the pulsations increase in amplitude, reach a maximum (which approximates to the mean pressure), and then diminish. Studies show that, especially in critical cases (arrhythmia, vasoconstriction, hypertension, shock), oscillometric devices are more accurate and consistent than devices using other noninvasive measuring techniques. WARNING Patient Category: Select the correct patient category setting for your patient. Do not apply the higher adult inflation, overpressure limits and measurement duration to neonatal patients. Intravenous infusion: Do not use the NBP cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion or arterial catheter in place. This could cause tissue damage around the catheter when the infusion is slowed or blocked during cuff inflation. Skin Damage: Do not measure NBP on patients with sickle-cell disease or any condition where skin damage has occurred or is expected. Unattended measurement: Use clinical judgement to decide whether to perform frequent unattended blood pressure measurements on patients with severe blood clotting disorders because of the risk of hematoma in the limb fitted with the cuff. 155 11 Monitoring NBP Preparing to Measure NBP CAUTION If you spill liquid onto the equipment or accessories, particularly if there is a chance that it can get inside the tubing or the measurement device, contact your service personnel. Measurement Limitations Measurements are impossible with heart rate extremes of less than 40 bpm or greater than 300 bpm, or if the patient is on a heart-lung machine. The measurement may be inaccurate or impossible:
if a regular arterial pressure pulse is hard to detect with cardiac arrhythmias with excessive and continuous patient movement such as shivering or convulsions with rapid blood pressure changes with severe shock or hypothermia that reduces blood flow to the peripheries with obesity, where a thick layer of fat surrounding a limb dampens the oscillations coming from the artery on an edematous extremity. Measurement Methods There are three methods of measuring NBP:
Manual - measurement on demand. Auto - continually repeated measurements (between one and 120 minute adjustable interval). Sequence - up to four measurement cycles which will run consecutively, with number of measurements and interval between them configurable for each cycle. STAT - rapid series of measurements over a five minute period, then the monitor returns to the previous mode. Use only on supervised patients. Reference Method The NBP measurement reference method can be Auscultatory (manual cuff) or Invasive (intra-
arterial). For further information, see the Application Note on NBP supplied on the monitor documentation CD-ROM. In Adult and Pediatric mode to check the current setting, select Main Setup -> Measurements
-> NBP, and check whether the Reference setting is set to Auscult. or Invasive. This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. In Neonatal mode, to comply with safety standards, invasive is always used as the reference method. This setting cannot be changed and is not visible in any operating mode. Preparing to Measure NBP 1 Connect the cuff to the air tubing. 156 Preparing to Measure NBP 11 Monitoring NBP 2 Plug the air tubing into the red NBP connector. Avoid compression or restriction of pressure tubes. Air must pass unrestricted through the tubing. 3 Make sure that you are using a Philips-approved correct sized cuff and that the bladder inside the cover is not folded or twisted. A wrong cuff size, and a folded or twisted bladder, can cause inaccurate measurements. The width of the cuff should be in the range from 37% to 47% of the limb circumference. The inflatable part of the cuff should be long enough to encircle at least 80% of the limb. 4 Apply the cuff to a limb at the same level as the patients heart. If it is not, you must use the measurement correction formula to correct the measurement. The marking on the cuff must match the artery location. Do not wrap the cuff too tightly around the limb. It may cause discoloration, and ischemia of the extremities. Inspect the application site regularly to ensure skin quality and inspect the extremity of the cuffed limb for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If the skin quality changes, or if the extremity circulation is being affected, move the cuff to another site or stop the blood pressure measurements immediately. Check more frequently when making automatic or stat measurements. Correcting the Measurement if Limb is not at Heart Level To correct the measurement if the limb is not at heart level, to the displayed value add 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) for each centimeter higher or add 1.9mmHg (0.25kPa) for each inch higher. deduct 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) for each centimeter lower or deduct 1.9mmHg (0.25kPa) for each inch lower. Understanding the NBP Numerics Alarm source Measurement Mode Sys. Auto Timestamp/
Timer Alarm limits Systolic Diastolic Mean pressure Depending on the NBP numeric size, not all elements may be visible. Your monitor may be configured to display only the systolic and diastolic values. Alarm Sources if you have parallel alarm sources, the sources are displayed instead of the alarm limits. NBP Timestamp depending on the configured NBP Time setting, the time shown beside the NBP numeric can be:
Meas Time: the time of the most recent NBP measurement, or Next Meas: the time until the next measurement in an automatic series, displayed with a graphic representation of the remaining time, as shown here. 157 11 Monitoring NBP Starting and Stopping Measurements During measurements the cuff pressure is displayed instead of the units and the repeat time. An early systolic value gives you a preliminary indication of the systolic blood pressure during measurement. Starting and Stopping Measurements CAUTION Use clinical judgement to decide whether to perform repeated series of STAT measurements because of the risk of purpura, ischemia and neuropathy in the limb with the cuff. Enabling Automatic Mode and Setting Repetition Time 1 2 In the Setup NBP menu, select Mode and select Auto from the pop-up menu. For an automatic measurement, select Repeat and set the time interval between two measurements. Enabling Sequence Mode and Setting Up The Sequence 1 2 3 In the Setup NBP menu, select Mode and select Sequence from the pop-up menu. Select Setup Sequence to open the Setup Sequence window. Up to four measurement cycles can be setup which will run consecutively. For each cycle you can set the number of measurements and the interval between them. If you want to run less than four cycles in a sequence, you can set the number of measurements for one or more cycles to Off. Select each sequence in turn and select the number of measurements and the time interval between the measurements. 4 To have measurements continue after the sequence, set the number of measurements for your last cycle to Continuous and this cycle will run indefinitely. CAUTION Be aware that, if none of the cycles are set to Continuous, NBP monitoring will end after the last measurement of the cycle. When the NBP measurement mode is set to Sequence, the repetition time for Auto mode cannot be changed. Choosing the NBP Alarm Source You can monitor for alarm conditions in systolic, diastolic and mean pressure, either singly or in parallel. Only one alarm is given, with the priority of mean, systolic, diastolic. In the Setup NBP menu, select Al. from and choose from:

When no value can be derived an NBP MEASURE FAILED INOP will be displayed. Switching Pulse from NBP On/Off In the process of making the NBP measurement, a pulse value can be derived and displayed. The pulse value is displayed together with the time the measurement was made. After one hour the value becomes invalid. There are no alarms associated with pulse from NBP. To switch the display of the pulse value on or off:
In the NBP Setup menu select Pulse (NBP). Pulse from NBP Pulse NBP Sys. Auto Assisting Venous Puncture You can use the NBP cuff to cause sub-diastolic pressure. The cuff deflates automatically after a set time (adult/pediatric 170 seconds, neonatal 85 seconds) if you do not deflate it. 1 In the NBP Setup menu select VeniPuncture. Puncture vein and draw blood sample. 2 3 Reselect VeniPuncture to deflate the cuff. During measurement, the NBP display shows the inflation pressure of the cuff and the remaining time in venous puncture mode. 159 11 Monitoring NBP Calibrating NBP Cuff pressure Venous puncture measurement mode NBP

They are only available when the X2 is powered from AC mains, either when connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A). You can measure temperature using the built-in temperature measurement (optional), or one of the MMS extensions. Temp measurement automatically switches on when you connect a probe. You can switch the measurement off manually. Making a Temp Measurement 1 2 3 Select the correct type and size of probe for your patient. If you are using a disposable probe, connect the probe to the temperature cable. Plug the probe or temperature cable into the temperature connector socket.

They are only available when the X2 is powered from AC mains, either when connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A). CAUTION Do not use the X2 in combination with monitors using an M1006A pressure module and the HP1290A pressure transducer. This may cause interference on the respiration or invasive pressure signals. You can measure pressure using the monitors built-in pressure measurement (optional), or one of the MMS extensions. Setting up the Pressure Measurement 1 Plug in the pressure cable. Pressure connector 2 3 Prepare the flush solution. Flush the system to exhaust all air from the tubing. Ensure that the transducer and stopcocks are free of air bubbles. WARNING If air bubbles appear in the tubing system, flush the system with the infusion solution again. Air bubbles may lead to a wrong pressure reading. 163 13 Monitoring Invasive Pressure Setting up the Pressure Measurement 4 Connect the pressure line to the patient catheter. 5 6 If you are using an infusion pressure cuff with the pressure line, attach the pressure cuff to the fluid to be infused. Inflate it according to your standard hospital procedure, then start the infusion. Position the transducer so that it is level with the heart, approximately at the level of the midaxillary line. WARNING If measuring intracranial pressure (ICP, IC1 or IC2) with a sitting patient, level the transducer with the top of the patients ear. Incorrect leveling may give incorrect values. Selecting a Pressure for Monitoring Tell the monitor which pressure you want to monitor by selecting its pressure label. The label is a unique identifier for each type of pressure. When you choose a label, the monitor uses that labels stored settings, for example color, wave scale and alarm settings. The label also determines which algorithm is used to process the pressure signal, so an incorrect label can lead to incorrect pressure values. In the Setup <Press> menu, select Label. Select the appropriate label from the list. 1 2 Label ABP ART Ao CVP ICP LAP Description Arterial blood pressure Arterial blood pressure (alternative) Aortic pressure Central venous pressure Intracranial pressure Left atrial pressure Label P PAP RAP UAP UVP Description Non-specific pressure label Pulmonary artery pressure Right atrial pressure Umbilical arterial pressure Umbilical venous pressure Extended Pressure Label Set The following additional labels are available if Label Set is set to Full.

Zero the transducer in accordance with your hospital policy (at least once per day). You must perform a zero:
when you use a new transducer or tubing every time you reconnect the transducer cable to the monitor if you think the monitors pressure readings are not correct. Zeroing ICP (or IC1/IC2) Your hospital guidelines may require you to zero the ICP transducer less frequently than other transducers, due to the need for aseptic conditions. When you zero an ICP transducer, the zero values are automatically stored and you will not be prompted to repeat the zero procedure. If you want to simultaneously zero all pressures except ICP, disconnect the ICP transducer from the monitor while zeroing. Reconnecting the transducer recalls the stored values. WARNING If you select the label ICP (or IC1/IC2), the measurement device uses the most recently stored zero. Therefore, make sure you zeroed the transducer correctly in accordance with the transducer manufacturers instructions and your hospital policy. When you use a transducer that you cannot rezero after placement, ensure that you keep the measuring device with the patient so that you are certain you have the correct zero data for this patient. Determining a Pressures Most Recent Zero The monitor displays the most recent zero on the status line. If this has timed-out after you have performed a zero, redisplay the information in the status line by entering the pressures setup menu. Zeroing a Pressure Measurement WARNING Invasive pressure alarms (and pulse alarms, if derived from invasive pressure) are temporarily suppressed until 30 seconds after the transducer finishes zeroing. 1 Turn off the stopcock to the patient. 2 Vent the transducer to atmospheric pressure, to compensate for the static and atmospheric pressure exerted on the transducer. In the setup menu for the pressure, select Zero <Press>. 3 4 When you see the message <Press> zero done at <date and time> on the status line, (for example, ABP zero done at 13 Mar 02 23.35) close the stopcock to atmospheric pressure, and open the stopcock to the patient. CAUTION When using high frequency ventilation, ensure that the tubing from the ventilator does not touch the arterial line, or connect with it indirectly, while zeroing the pressure. This could cause small pressure variations which can interfere with the zero procedure. 165 13 Monitoring Invasive Pressure Adjusting the Calibration Factor Troubleshooting the Zero The status line lists the probable cause of an unsuccessful zero:

Select a value from the pop-up list:
a positive value sets the top gridline. The bottom gridline is set at zero. a negative value sets the bottom gridline. The middle gridline is set at zero. 166 Optimizing the Waveform 13 Monitoring Invasive Pressure Optimizing the Waveform In the Setup <Press> menu, select Optimum Scale to let the monitor select the best minimum and maximum scales for the current wave. Non-Physiological Artifact Suppression Some clinical procedures may affect blood pressure, for example, a flush procedure or a blood sample. Your monitor may be configured to suppress these non-physiological artifacts for a specified duration
(Artifact Suppression is configured to 30, 60, or 90 seconds). During artifact suppression, the monitor shows the INOP message <Pressure label> ARTIFACT, and a question mark is shown beside the pressure numerics. Pressure alarms and the Pulse NON-PULSATILE INOP are suppressed during the configured period. The CPP high alarm is not suppressed. Choosing the Pressure Alarm Source WARNING Make sure you set alarm limits for the correct label. The alarm limits you set are stored for that particular label only. Changing the label may change the alarm limits. You can monitor for alarm conditions in systolic, diastolic and mean pressure, either singly or in parallel.

Calculating Cerebral Perfusion The monitor can calculate the difference between mean arterial pressure and the intracranial pressure. The difference is labeled CPP. In the Main Setup menu, select Measurements. In the Setup CPP menu, select ABP, ART, Ao, BAP or FAP as the arterial pressure source. 1 2 The CPP value will not be available when the X2 is connected to a host monitor. 170 14 14Monitoring Carbon Dioxide WARNING Measurements from an MMS extension connected to an X2 are not available when the X2 is running on battery power. They are only available when the X2 is running on external power, either when connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A). Only one CO2 measurement at a time is supported. Use the CO2 measurement to monitor the patients respiratory status and to control patient ventilation. There are two methods for measuring carbon dioxide in the patients airway:
Mainstream measurement uses a CO2 sensor attached to an airway adapter directly inserted into the patients breathing system. This method is available using the monitors built-in CO2 measurement
(optional), the M3014A Capnography Extension or the M3016A Mainstream Extension. Sidestream measurement takes a sample of the respiratory gas with a constant sample flow from the patients airway and analyzes it with a remote CO2 sensor. You can measure sidestream CO2 using the monitors built-in CO2 measurement (optional) or using the M3014A Capnography Extension, or the M3015A Microstream CO2 Extension. In both cases, the measurement principle is infrared transmission, where the intensity of infrared light passing the respiratory gas is measured with a photo detector. As some of the infrared light is absorbed by the CO2 molecules, the amount of light passing the gas probe depends on the concentration of the measured CO2. When using a wet ventilator circuit, monitor mainstream CO2 if available, in preference to sidestream CO2. The partial pressure is calculated from the gas concentration by multiplying the concentration value with the ambient pressure. The measurement provides:
a CO2 waveform. an end tidal CO2 (etCO2) value: the CO2 value measured at the end of the expiration phase. an inspired minimum CO2 (imCO2): the smallest value measured during inspiration. an airway respiration rate (awRR): the number of breaths per minute, calculated from the CO2 waveform. 171 14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Measuring CO2 using the CO2 Option or M3014A Depending on the Max Hold setting configured for your monitor, the etCO2 numeric shows either the highest CO2 value measured within the configured time period (Max Hold set to 10 sec or 20 sec) or the etCO2 numeric shows breath-to-breath value (Max Hold set to Off). WARNING Correlation: The etCO2 readings do not always correlate closely with paCO2, especially in neonatal patients and patients with pulmonary disease, pulmonary embolism or inappropriate ventilation. Pharmaceuticals in aerosols: Do not measure CO2 in the presence of pharmaceuticals in aerosols. Explosion Hazard: Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or gases, such as a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide. Use of the devices in such an environment may present an explosion hazard. Failure of operation: if the measurement or a sensor fails to respond as described, do not use it until the situation has been corrected by qualified personnel. Low etCO2 values: Leakages in the breathing system or sampling system may cause the displayed etCO2 values to be significantly too low. Always connect all components securely and check for leaks according to standard clinical procedures. Displacement of the nasal or combined nasal oral cannulas can cause lower than actual etCO2 readings. Even with combined nasal oral cannulas, the etCO2 readings may be slightly lower than actual in patients breathing through the mouth only. Measuring CO2 using the CO2 Option or M3014A The monitor (with the CO2 option) or the M3014A Capnography Extension measures partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patients expired gas using the mainstream method or the sidestream method. The mainstream CO2 measurement can be used, with appropriate accessories, with intubated adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. The sidestream CO2 measurement can be used, with appropriate accessories, with intubated and nonintubated adult, pediatric, infant and neonatal patients. With intubated patients, a sample of the respiratory gas is drawn from the patients breathing circuit through an airway adapter and a gas sampling tube. With non-intubated patients, the gas sample is drawn through a nasal or oral-nasal cannula. WARNING Altitude Setting: The monitor is not equipped with automatic barometric pressure compensation. Before the CO2 measurement is used for the first time, the altitude must be set to the correct value. An incorrect altitude setting will result in incorrect CO2 readings. The CO2 readings will typically deviate 5% for every 1000m difference. Preparing to Measure Mainstream CO2 You must perform a zero as described in this procedure each time you use a new airway adapter. 1 Attach the sensor connector to the CO2 connector on the monitor (when the optional CO2 measurement is integrated) or on the extension. 2 Wait 2 minutes, allowing the sensor to reach its operating temperature and a stable thermal condition. 172 Measuring CO2 using the CO2 Option or M3014A 14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide 3 Choose the appropriate airway adapter and connect it to the sensor head. The airway adapter clicks into place when seated correctly. 4 To zero the sensor:
expose the sensor to room air and keep it away from all sources of CO2 including the ventilator, the patients breath and your own. in the setup menu for the CO2, select Start Zero Cal. When you see the message Zero done at <date and time> on the status line, the zero calibration is finished and you can begin monitoring. 5 Install the airway adapter at the proximal end of the circuit between the elbow and the ventilator Y-section. WARNING To prevent stress on the endotrachial tube, support the sensor and airway adapter. Position sensor cables and tubing carefully to avoid entanglement or potential strangulation. Do not apply excessive tension to any cable. Replace the airway adapter, if excessive moisture or secretions are observed in the tubing or if the CO2 waveform changes unexpectedly without a change in patient status. To avoid infection, use only sterilized, disinfected or disposable airway adapters. Inspect the airway adapters prior to use. Do not use if airway adapter appears to have been damaged or broken. Observe airway adapter color coding for patient population. Preparing to Measure Sidestream CO2 1 Plug the sensor cable into the monitors CO2 input connector. Allow the sensor two minutes warm up time 2 Connect the cannula, airway adapter, or sample line as appropriate, to the sensor. It will click into place when seated correctly. 3 To zero the sensor:
expose the sensor to room air and keep it away from all sources of CO2 including the ventilator, the patients breath and your own. In the setup menu for the CO2, select Start Zero Cal. 173 14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Measuring CO2 using the CO2 Option or M3014A When you see the message Zero done at <date and time> on the status line, the zero calibration is finished and you can begin monitoring. 4 For intubated patients requiring an airway adapter: Install the airway adapter at the proximal end of the circuit between the elbow and the ventilator Y-
section. For intubated patients with an integrated airway adapter in the breathing circuit.: Connect the male luer connector on the straight sample line to the female port on the airway adapter. For non-intubated patients: Place the nasal cannula onto the patient. For patients prone to mouth breathing use an oral-nasal cannula. For nasal or oral-nasal cannulas with oxygen delivery, place the cannula on the patient as shown then attach the oxygen supply tubing to the oxygen delivery system and set the prescribed oxygen flow. WARNING Always connect the airway adapter to the sensor before inserting the airway adapter into the breathing circuit. In reverse, always remove the airway adapter from the breathing circuit before removing the sensor. CAUTION Always disconnect the cannula, airway adapter or sample line from the sensor when not in use. Using the Sidestream Sensor Holder The holder delivered with the sensor can be used to clamp the sensor onto an IV pole or a shelf. 1 Push the sensor into the holder until it clicks into position. 2 Clamp the holder onto an IV pole, a shelf or another appropriate location. To remove the sensor from the holder, release the clip and pull the sensor out of the holder. clip 174 Measuring Mainstream CO2 using M3016A 14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Removing Exhaust Gases from the System WARNING Anesthetics: When using the sidestream CO2 measurement on patients who are receiving or have recently received anesthetics, connect the outlet to a scavenging system, to avoid exposing medical staff to anesthetics. Use an exhaust tube to remove the sample gas to a scavenging system. Attach it to the sidestream sensor at the outlet connector. Measuring Mainstream CO2 using M3016A The M3016A Mainstream CO2 Extension measures partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patients expired gas using the mainstream method. When using the appropriate accessories you can use the mainstream CO2 measurement with ventilated adults, pediatric and neonatal patients. WARNING Infra-red radiation: Do not expose the airway adapter or M1460A transducer to infra-red radiation during use. This may cause incorrect readings. Preparing to Measure Mainstream CO2 1 Attach the transducer connector to the CO2 connector on the M3016A extension. 2 Wait 20 minutes, allowing the transducer to reach its operating temperature and a stable thermal condition. 3 Perform an accuracy check and then, if necessary, calibrate the transducer. Checking Transducer Accuracy WARNING Check transducer accuracy at least once a week or if you doubt the CO2 readings. 1 2 3 4 5 In Setup CO2 menu, select Cal. Mode to switch on calibration mode. Look at the calibration value displayed in the Setup CO2 menu next to Start CAL1. Is it the same as the value on the calstick? If not, calibrate the transducer now. Place the transducer on the low cell of the calstick (labelled 0.0 mmHg or ZERO). The reading on the screen should be zero within 1 mmHg within one minute. Place the transducer on the high cell of the calstick. The reading on the screen should be within 1 mmHg of the value on the calstick within one minute. If both readings are in range, you can leave calibration mode and begin monitoring. If either of the readings is out of range, calibrate the transducer. Calibrating the Transducer 1 Check that the windows on the calstick are clean and clear.

piece. You may see the CO2 SENSOR WARMUP message until the transducer reaches operating temperature. Wait until this disappears before starting the measurement. 2 To remove the transducer from the airway adapter, open the latch and pull out the airway adapter. WARNING To prevent stress on the endotrachial tube, support the transducer and airway adapter. To avoid infection, use only sterilized airway adapters. 176 Measuring Microstream CO2 using M3015A 14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Measuring Microstream CO2 using M3015A The M3015A Microstream CO2 Extension measures the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in a patients expired gas using Microstream technology. The measurement is equipped with an automatic barometric pressure compensation. Preparing to Measure Microstream CO2 Use appropriate accessories for:
the patient type (adult, pediatric or neonatal), the ventilation situation (including humidification) the duration - short term use, up to 24 hours (typically OR), or long term use (typically ICU). All accessories are for single patient use only. Using Microstream Accessories The Microstream measurement can be operated with the special Microstream accessories only. Refer to the instructions for use provided with the accessory. For intubated patient with non-humidified ventilation, you can use a Microstream FilterLine set. For humidified ventilation, use a FilterLine H Set. For non-intubated patients, the gas sample is taken through a Nasal FilterLine, or a Smart CapnoLine
(which is a combined oral-nasal FilterLine). In parallel to the measurement of the CO2, oxygen (O2) may be delivered to the patient to support gas exchange. This is done by using an O2/CO2 FilterLine, or a Smart CapnoLine O2 (a combined oral-nasal O2/CO2 FilterLine). Using the FilterLine and Airway Adapter 1 Attach the female Luer connector to the CO2 inlet connector on the extension by pushing the socket cover down and screwing the connector into place. inlet connector cover outlet connector 2 Check that the FilterLine is not kinked. 3 Change the FilterLine if a CO2 OCCLUSION INOP appears on the monitor or if the readings become extremely erratic. 177 14 Monitoring Carbon Dioxide Setting up all CO2 Measurements Disconnect the FilterLine during suctioning and nebulizing therapies. Check the table in the Microstream CO2 Accessories section of the Accessories chapter for typical usage times for the different Microstream accessories. CO2 values for non-intubated patients using Microstream accessories will always tend to be lower than for intubated patients. If values appear extremely low, check whether the patient is breathing through the mouth or whether one nostril is blocked Removing Exhaust Gases from the System WARNING Anesthetics: When using the 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. Use an exhaust tube to remove the sample gas to a scavenging system. Attach it to the MMS Extension at the outlet connector.

15 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient Controls on the Telemetry Device (e.g. nurse call) will be inactive when the device is directly connected to the monitor except in the case when the monitor has no network connection and data are transferred via the telemetry device. See the "Enhancing Telemetry Monitoring with the Monitor" chapter. Assigning a Telemetry Transceiver with an SRR Adapter to a Monitor Monitors which have this capability have a short range radio symbol A telemetry device with a short range radio adapter can be assigned to a monitor directly. To assign a telemetry device to a monitor:
on the model label. 1 2 3 Press the Check button on the telemetry device. The measurement selection key on the monitor will change to show the assign telemetry icon Select the assign telemetry icon. In the Assign Telemetry Device menu, select the correct equipment label for the telemetry device. 4 Check that the assignment is successful and that transmission has begun:
A Tele Device assigned message appears on the monitor a tone sounds at the telemetry device and the Laeds Off indicators light the ECG wave appears on the monitor To confirm that the correct telemetry device has been assigned, open the ECG Setup menu. The title of the menu contains the equipment label of the telemetry device; check that this is the correct label. If a monitor is already paired to another device, you cannot assign a telemetry device to that monitor. If the telemetry device goes out-of-range or loses the short range radio connection, it will switch over to standard telemetry transmission to the Information Center. In this case, the telemetry data is displayed in the Telemetry Data Window as described above. If a monitor is manually paired with a telemetry device with a short range radio adapter, the short range radio assignment will be automatically made. If a telemetry device disappears from the list in the Assign Telemetry Device menu, press the Check button on the telemetry device again. If the monitor is not configured to be used with a telemetry device, the assign telemetry icon will appear crossed out If the devices are unpaired, the short range radio connection will be ended. WARNING Short range radio connections are subject to interruption due to interference from other radio sources in the vicinity, including microwaves, bluetooth devices and DECT phones. Outside the operating frequency band and 5% above and below, i.e. the exclusion band according IEC 60601-1-2, section 36.202.3a)4), the short range radio connection is immune up to 3V/m in the frequency range from 80 MHz to 2.0 GHz and up to 1V/m in the frequency range from 2.0 to 2.3 GHz. Depending on the strength and duration of the interference, the interruption may occur for an extended period. A loss of connection, due to moving out-of-range, interference, or for other reasons, is indicated with a TELE DISCONNECT INOP. 183 15 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient How Can You Combine Devices?
Correct channel configuration is important, refer to the Configuration Guide for details. If a TELE DISCONNECT INOP occurs when the telemetry device goes out-of-range, the INOP will disappear (without being silenced) as soon as the ECG signal from the telemetry device is available at the Information Center via standard telemetry transmission. SpO2T Manual Mode When a telemetry device with a short range radio connection supplies SpO2T to the monitor, the monitor will have a manual measurement mode available. This allows SpO2 measurements to be made on request and not continuously, helping to save battery power. To ensure there is no gap in SpO2 measurements when moving from standard telemetry transmission to short range radio transmission, the measurement mode will always be set to continuous in this situation unless manual mode is set in both the telemetry device and the monitor. Unassigning a Telemetry Transceiver with SRR Adapter at the Monitor If a monitor and a telemetry device are paired, the assignment and the short range radio connection will be ended when the devices are unpaired (see Unpairing the Monitor and Telemetry Device on page 184). If the monitor does not have a connection to an Information Center, you must manually end the assignment and the short range radio connection. 1 2 3 Select the Measurement Selection key. In the Measurement Selection window, select the Tele pop-up key. In the Tele device window select Unassign Tele. Pairing an X2 With a Telemetry Interface to a Host Monitor An X2 using an IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface will be automatically paired when it is connected to a host monitor and it has been declared as a telemetry device at the Information Center. When the X2 is disconnected from the host monitor it will remain paired and the measurement data will appear at the host monitor in the Telemetry Data window. After the X2 is disconnected from the monitor it may take over 15 seconds until its data is displayed at the Information Center. NOTE Pairing of a host monitor and a telemetry device, with all the related functionality, is only possible when the host monitor is using a wired LAN connection or a wireless LAN interface (but not using the IntelliVue Instrument Telemetry interface). The X2 can also be paired to a host monitor without a direct connection, as described in Indirect Connection - Manual Pairing on page 181. Refer also to Use Models With Telemetry on page 188 for further related use modes. Unpairing the Monitor and Telemetry Device If the patient will no longer be monitored with the telemetry device, or only with the telemetry device and no longer with the monitor, you need to end the device pairing. After unpairing, the Information Center will receive data exclusively from the monitor or from the telemetry device:
select the Unpair To Mon. SmartKey to end pairing and have the Information Center receive the measurement data from the monitor 184 Functions Available When the Telemetry Data Window is Displayed 15 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient select the Unpair To Tele SmartKey to end pairing and have the Information Center receive the measurement data from the telemetry device or use the Unpair function at the Information Center. NOTE The Unpair SmartKeys and pop-up keys appear only on the monitor which is directly involved in pairing. Functions Available When the Telemetry Data Window is Displayed Controlling the Telemetry Device from the Bedside You can change settings for a paired telemetry device at the monitor:
1 Select the telemetry data screen element Select the Setup Tele pop-up key 2 The Setup Telemetry menu will appear with the settings available for the telemetry device. These will normally include: adjusting heart rate alarms, ECG size control, selecting primary/secondary lead, relearning arrhythmia, and selecting the arrhythmia analysis mode. The Equipment label of the paired device is also shown here. Viewing and Silencing Telemetry Alarms at the Bedside When a telemetry device is paired with the monitor, telemetry alarms will also be indicated on the monitor, in addition to the main indication at the Information Center. If configured, a generic Tele Alarm message will appear in the alarm status area with standard alarm tones. The Tele Alarm message will have the color and * or ! coding corresponding to the severity of the alarm. The specific alarm message (for example *HR Low) will appear in the Telemetry Data Window. If configured, alarms generated from a paired telemetry device can be silenced at the bedside. Either the monitor Silence key is configured to silence both monitor and telemetry alarms (must be configured at the Information Center) or the Silence Bed pop-up key will be available:
1 Select the telemetry screen element. Select the Silence Bed pop-up key. 2 Depending on your Information Center configuration, the Silence Bed key may silence both telemetry alarms and bedside alarms. WARNING Even when the telemetry data is not visible on the screen, you may be silencing telemetry and monitor alarms, if the Information Center and monitor are so configured. Suspending Telemetry Alarms When you select Pause Alarms or Alarms Off at the monitor, the alarms are off or paused for the bedside measurements. When you switch alarms off or pause alarms at the Information Center, both telemetry and monitor alarms are affected. 185 15 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient Functions Available For Devices Connected Via SRR Refer to the Information Center Instructions for Use for more details on the Suspend/Pause alarms behavior of the Information Center and telemetry device. Using Standby When you select Standby mode at the monitor, the bedside goes into Standby mode but the telemetry device will continue monitoring. Refer to the Information Center Instructions for Use for details on the Standby behavior of the Information Center and telemetry device. Functions Available For Devices Connected Via SRR Telemetry Device Tele 1 The Telemetry Device window can be opened from the Measurement Selection window, by selecting the Tele pop-up key, or via Main Setup -> Telemetry Device. The window shows the equipment label of the assigned telemetry device and, for monitors with SRR capability, a battery status symbol and a symbol indicating the signal quality of the SRR link If the monitor has a connection to an Information Center, the pop-up keys Unpair to Mon. and Unpair to Tele let you end the device pairing. After unpairing, the Information Center will receive data exclusively from the monitor or from the telemetry device. If the monitor does not have a connection to an Information Center, or there is a pairing mismatch, the Unassign Tele pop-up key lets you end the telemetry device assignment and close the SRR link. Temporarily Stopping the Short Range Radio Connection To temporarily disable the SRR connection for this device, for example, in case of interference:
Select the Stop SRR pop-up key. This closes the SRR link and the telemetry device switches over to standard telemetry transmission. The battery status symbol will no longer be shown and the SRR quality indicator symbol will be crossed out. To return to SRR use:
Select the Start SRR pop-up key and press the Check button on the telemetry transceiver. 186 General Telemetry-related Functions 15 Assigning Two Devices to One Patient Setting Up Measurements The Setup ECG and Setup SpO2T pop-up keys give you access to the measurement setup menus. The Measmt. Select. pop-up key takes you directly to the Measurement Selection window where all connected measurement devices are shown. General Telemetry-related Functions The following functions are valid for directly and indirectly connected telemetry devices. ECG Source Tracking at the Information Center The Information Center continuously checks whether a valid ECG signal is coming from the monitor or the telemetry device. If you unplug the ECG patient cable from the monitor and plug it into the telemetry device, the Information Center will automatically switch to monitoring the ECG from the telemetry device. At the monitor, its own ECG measurement will be deactivated the ECG Setup menu will no longer be accessible. When you unplug the patient cable from the telemetry device and plug it back into the monitor again, the Information Center will switch back to monitoring the ECG from the monitor. The ECG measurement will be activated again at the monitor. Note that in this case, as the screen switches back to the monitors own measurements, the SpO2T measurement (if present) will no longer be displayed. In the same way the source is tracked when a telemetry device is directly connected to a monitor, then disconnected and vice versa. In case of ambiguity, a yellow INOP message !!CHECK ECG SOURCE indicates that more than one valid ECG source is active. Synchronized Settings If ECG is measured at the monitor, and then the patient is connected to a telemetry device for monitoring, the Information Center will use the monitor settings for the telemetry device. In general, the following settings will be synchronized:
Heart Rate ECG Arrhythmia ST QT SpO2T HR/Pulse Alarm On/Off, Heart Rate High/Low Limit, Primary Lead, Secondary Lead, Va Lead1, Vb Lead1, Lead Placement Analysis Mode, Asystole Threshold, Pause Threshold, VTach HR, VTach Run, PVCs/min, Vent. Rhythm, SVT HR, SVT Run, PVCs/

WARNING Not all settings are synchronized; after changing the ECG source, always check that the settings are appropriate. Va and Vb leads are reset to default (V2, V5) if the configured Va or Vb lead for the telemetry device is not one of V1 through V6 If later the patient is disconnected from the telemetry device, and reconnected to the monitor again, any changes in the settings made in the meantime will be passed on to the monitor. In this way, settings continuity is preserved when the ECG source changes. Settings synchronization can only take place when there is no patient information mismatch between the monitor and the Information Center. If a Check ECG Settings or CHECK PAIRING INOP appears always check that the ECG settings, especially the paced setting, are appropriate for your patient. Use Models With Telemetry The standard use model combining a monitor and a telemetry device involves pairing the two devices so that the data measured by the telemetry device appears on the monitor screen - and at the Information Center in the same patient sector as the monitor data. The following variations are possible:
1 X2 monitor is paired with a telemetry transceiver - direct connection telemetry data appear on the monitor the X2 cannot be connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode) 2 X2 is declared as a telemetry device and paired with one of the larger monitors (MP20-90) X2 measurement data appear on the monitor it is paired with a telemetry transceiver cannot be used with the X2 3 A telemetry transceiver with a short range radio adapter is assigned to an X2 which is connected
(Companion Mode) to a larger host monitor (MP20 - MP90) - direct connection. telemetry data appear on the host monitor telemetry transceiver is paired with the host monitor but is assigned to the X2 the X2 must have no equipment label The different variations require different configuration settings; refer to the Configuration Guide for details. NOTE If a telemetry transceiver is directly connected to an X2 or MP5 that is connected (via Companion Mode) to a host monitor with revision F software, a TELE CONFIG UNSUPP INOP will appear as this combination is not supported. 188 16 16Enhancing Telemetry Monitoring with the Monitor You can use a monitor without a network connection to view measurement data from a telemetry transceiver at the bedside. You can also use the monitor to make additional measurements and send this measurement data to the Information Center via the telemetry transceiver. The monitor can so be used as a mobile viewer and measurement device, and is set up to simplify the assign/unassign procedures when used with short range radio. Monitor and Telemetry Transceiver Requirements The monitor and the telemetry transceiver need a direct connection via a short range radio link. Not all revisions of the telemetry transceiver can be used directly with the monitor, if you connect a device that cannot be used you will see a TELE UNSUPPORTED INOP. Due to data availability restrictions, it is not recommended to use a monitor connected to a host monitor (Companion Mode) to collect data in this way. If such a monitor is used a CENTRAL: TELE ONLY INOP will be displayed. Data Sent to the Information Center The data sent to the Information Center includes numerics from NBP, SpO2, Pulse from SpO2 and predictive temperature. INOPs from these measurements, battery INOPs and a general INOP generated by alarms from any other measurement (MORE BED ALARMS) will also be transmitted. NOTE The monitor must be configured appropriately to support direct connection to a telemetry transceiver;
refer to the Configuration Guide for details. Changing Assignment to a New Telemetry Transceiver 1 Assign the telemetry transceiver to the monitor; see Assigning a Telemetry Transceiver with an SRR Adapter to a Monitor on page 183. 2 Make the required measurements; the data will be automatically sent to the Information Center via the telemetry transceiver. It is not necessary to unassign the telemetry transceiver. This will happen automatically when the next telemetry transceiver is assigned. The patient is also discharged (if configured), ensuring that the measurement data is erased before data from the next patient appears. Always assign the telemetry transceiver before you start making measurements. 189 16 Enhancing Telemetry Monitoring with the Monitor 190 17 17Trends Trends are patient data collected over time and displayed in graphic or tabular form to give you a picture of how your patients condition is developing. Trend information is stored in the trends database for continuously-monitored measurements, such as ECG, as well as for aperiodically-
measured parameters, such as Cardiac Output. Viewing Trends Trend information can be viewed embedded as a screen element on specially-designed Screens, or you can open a trend window over the current Screen. To view trends embedded as a screen element, enter the Change Screen window, then select a Screen designed to show an embedded trend window. To open the tabular trends window, select Main Setup > Trends >
Vitals Trend, or select the Vitals Trend SmartKey. To open the graphic trends window over the current Screen, select Main Setup > Trends > Graph Trend, or select the Graph Trend SmartKey. Vitals Trend Graph Trend The trend windows open displaying the most recent data and are updated as new data is stored. A timescale along the bottom of the screen shows you where you are in the trends database. The preview column on the right-hand side shows the latest available measurement value. The preview column is updated every five minutes or whenever an NBP or other aperiodic measurement is completed. A question mark (?) beside a value means that the data may not be reliable, due perhaps to an INOP condition in the measurement. Your monitor screen may look slightly different to the examples shown in this chapter. Trends Pop-Up Keys When you open the graphic or tabular trends window, a selection of pop-up keys appears to let you navigate through the stored trend data and carry out trends-related tasks. 191 17 Trends Viewing Trends Pop-Up Keys Select Group Select Interval Print Vital Signs Graph Trend Selecting this pop-up key lets you.... see a pop-up list of trend groups and select a group for viewing. see a pop-up list of available data resolution settings and select the level of detail shown in the trend view. print a graphic trends report of the data in the current window.

Documenting Trends To print a Vital Signs or Graphical Trends report, in the Vital Signs or Graph Trends window, select the pop-up key Print to print a report for the trend group currently on the monitor screen. Reports include the most recent information in the trends database and extend backwards in time according to the selected trend interval and your monitors configuration. Trends reports can be printed on central or local printers. Trends Databases The trend databases store information for up to 16 measurements for up to 48 hours. The values in the trends database are stored as measured by the monitor, they are not averaged values. The trend resolution defines how often a value is stored. In general, if more than one value is available for storage in the trends database, the most recent value is used. Some values in the trends are marked with arrows. This indicates that for this time period, more values were available and the most recent one is shown. Example database configuration In this example, we see that the monitor stores the most recent data at the highest resolution, older data are stored at a lower resolution. 4 hours @ 12 second resolution means that the monitor stores trend data every 12 seconds, for the most recent four hours. 196 Screen Trends 17 Trends

Trend data for aperiodic measurements is stored in a separate database and timestamped with the measurement time. Trending Multiple-Value Measurements Some measurements generate multiple values, for example invasive pressure measurements can provide systolic, diastolic, and mean values. These values are trended as separate measurements. Screen Trends Trends configured to display permanently on special monitor Screens are called screen trends. The selection and number of measurement waves in the Screen Trend segment depends on your monitor configuration. Screen trends are color-coded to match the measurement wave and numerics, and they can be viewed in graphical, tabular, histogram or horizon format. If you do not see screen trends on the monitor Screen, select a different Screen, one that is configured to show screen trends. Screen trends are only available on specially designed Screens. Screen Trend information is taken from the Trends database. If you do not see a Screen Trend for a particular measurement on the Screen, check the trend priority list to ensure that this measurement is being trended. 197 17 Trends Screen Trends SBed9 HR Adult SpO2 ALARMS OFF Perf Arrhythmia Off 1mV Auto 15 min Temp Measurement numerics Measurement wave M NBP Sys.

Report names are shown only for reports that have been correctly set up. Data from the time of the print request is printed, even if the print job is delayed in the printer queue. Your monitor can also be set up to automatically print all reports when a matching printer is available. To set this up 1 2 Select Main Setup - > Reports Select Auto Print Dbs. Always will print all reports when a matching printer is available. Host only will print the reports stored on the host monitor when a matching printer is available. Reports stored in the companion database (shown in grey on the Reports Job List) must be manually sent to the printer. See Checking Report Status and Printing Manually on page 211. Never will print no reports automatically; all reports stored in the host or companion database must be manually sent to the printer. See Checking Report Status and Printing Manually on page 211. Depending on availability, reports can be printed on printers connected to the Information Center, an external PC-based print server or into the print database. Print jobs stored in the database are automatically printed when a print device with a matching paper size becomes available. Print jobs in the print database are not deleted after a patient discharge. A new patient can be admitted and their reports are saved in addition to the previous reports. Always admit your patient so that reports can be clearly assigned to a patient. When the X2 is connected to a host monitor, reports requested or stored on the X2 can be printed via the host monitor. Reports requested on the X2 when connected to a host monitor will not show any patient alarms or INOPs. In order to see alarms, reports should be requested on the host monitor. 207 19 Printing Patient Reports Stopping Reports Printouts Report types Report contents Vital Signs Report Graphic Trends Report ECG Reports ST Map Report Alarm Limits Report Realtime Reports Battery Report depends on selected trend group, data resolution, and period.

Printing a Test Report A test report can be printed in Configuration mode, refer to the Service Guide for details. Switching Printers On Or Off for Reports You can enable or disable printer status to switch individual printers on or off for report printouts. 210 Dashed Lines on Reports 19 Printing Patient Reports 1 2 In the Setup Printers menu, select Printer and then select the name of the device you want to switch on or off for Reports printing from the pop-up list. Select Printer Status to toggle between the settings Enabled and Disabled. If you set this to Disabled, no reports will be printed to the named printer. If the monitor detects that no printer of a particular type is available, the Enabled/Disabled setting will automatically be set to Disabled and grayed out. Dashed Lines on Reports If a section of a wave on a report is drawn with dashed lines, this tells you that a setting that affects the appearance of the wave on the screen was changed while the report was printing. For example, if you change the wave scale while a report is printing, the wave scale and wave size are changed immediately on the monitor screen and on the report. To indicate that the scale information printed at the beginning of the report no longer matches the currently used scale, the wave will be printed using dashed lines, starting from the moment the change took place. Some examples of settings that cause dashed lines in reports if changed during printing are: Filter mode, ECG lead placement, wave scale, measurement unit, paced/non-paced setting, and measurement mode. Note that as ECG waves are drawn with a fixed gain on reports (either 10 mm/
mV or 20 mm/mV), changing the ECG wave scale will not cause dashed-line reports. To avoid dashed lines on reports, wait 15 seconds after changing a setting before you trigger a report. Unavailable Printer: Re-routing Reports If you send a report to be printed on a printer that is not available, for example, because it has run out of paper, this print job is suspended and stored in the monitors memory. If the target device of this print job was set to Unspecified, the monitor will periodically try to resend the print job to the first printer listed in the Setup Printers menu under Printer that is set to Enabled and that has paper of the correct size. To allow the report to print, you must either solve the problem with the target printer, or re-route the print job to another printer with paper of the correct size. To re-route a print job, Enable the new target printer by selecting it in the Setup Printers menu and toggling to Enabled. As the monitor tries to send the report to the printers in the order they are listed, you must make sure that all the printers above the new target printer are disabled. If the target device of the print job was set to a specific printer, re-routing is not possible. Checking Report Status and Printing Manually A list of all print requests which are waiting, printing or stored can be viewed in the Reports Job List.

Do not soak the battery. 219 20 Care and Cleaning Cleaning Batteries and the Battery Compartment 220 21 21Using Batteries When monitoring a patient, one Philips M4607A rechargeable Lithium Ion battery must always be inserted into the battery compartment on the right side of the X2. This applies even when you are running the X2 external power, either via the external power supply or when connected to a host monitor. The battery has the effect of sealing the battery compartment, thereby preventing the ingress of fluids or foreign bodies. A severe yellow INOP (!!INSERT BATTERY) will be issued if the monitor is connected to AC mains without a battery fully inserted in the battery compartment. This INOP will persist until a battery is loaded. Battery compartment To use the X2 with battery power, disconnect it from the host monitor or the external power supply
(M8023A). You can switch between battery-powered and mains-powered (AC) operation without interrupting monitoring. When an X2 is connected to a host monitor, no battery data from the X2 is visible on the host. Battery INOPs, however, are displayed. The battery recharges automatically when the X2 is connected to a host monitor (running either on AC mains or battery power) or the optional external power supply (M8023A). 221 21 Using Batteries Battery Power Indicators Battery Power Indicators The battery LED and battery status information on the Main Screen, in combination with INOP messages and prompts, help you keep track of the battery power status. The indicators always show the remaining capacity in relation to the batterys actual maximum capacity, which may lessen as the battery ages. You can see the actual capacity in the Battery Status window. Battery LED The battery LED on the front panel of the monitor is indicated by a battery symbol. Battery LED Battery LED Colors Yellow Red, flashing If the X2 is connected to a host monitor or external power supply (M8023A) battery charging If the X2 is running on battery power, this means Red, flashes intermittently battery or charger malfunction less than 10 minutes power remaining battery or charger malfunction The battery LED is yellow during charging and switches off when the battery is charged. Battery Status on the Main Screen Battery status information can be configured to display permanently on all Screens. It shows the status of the battery, with the battery power remaining and, when the battery is not charging, an estimate of the monitoring time this represents. Battery power gauge: This shows the remaining battery power. It is divided into sections, each representing 20% of the total power. If three sections are filled, as in this example, this indicates that 60% battery power remains. If no battery is detected, a blank battery gauge marked with a flashing red X is displayed. If no data is available from the battery, a question mark is shown in the gauge. 222 Battery Power Indicators 21 Using Batteries Battery status/malfunction indicator: Normal battery function is indicated by the battery power gauge, together with the remaining operating time, on the Main Screen. You are informed of problems or changes in the status of the battery by the battery status/malfunction indicator. This consists of a blank battery gauge containing a symbol. If the symbol is red, this indicates a critical situation. You can check the specific cause of the problem by looking at the symbol(s) displayed in the Battery Status window (see page 223).

Satisfy yourself that this level of brightness is suitable for your monitoring location. 225 21 Using Batteries Optimizing Battery Performance Note that your monitor may be configured to dim or brighten the display brightness automatically when you disconnect from power, to suit the most common transport scenario
(TransportBrightn setting). Charging a Battery A battery can be charged in a monitor during monitoring. You can also use the M8043A Smart Battery Charger to charge batteries. 1 Insert the battery into an X2 connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A) that is connected to mains power. 2 Charge the battery until it is full, the battery LED goes out, and the battery power gauge is filled. In certain situations, internal temperature conditions may mean that the battery will not charge. This is sometimes necessary to protect the battery from damage, and does not indicate a malfunction. In this case you must use the M8043A Smart Battery Charger to charge the battery. Conditioning a Battery You must condition a battery when its battery requires maintenance symbol shows on the Screen. Do not interrupt the charge or discharge cycle during conditioning. CAUTION Do not use a monitor being used to monitor patients to condition batteries. The monitor switches off automatically when there is no battery power left. You can also use the M8043A Smart Battery Charger for external battery conditioning (requires adapter, order number 4512 610 17451). For details please see the Instructions for Use for the Smart Battery Charger. Do not use any other battery chargers or conditioners. To condition a battery using a monitor, Insert the battery into an X2 connected to a host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A) 1 that is connected to mains power. 2 Charge the battery until it is completely full. Open the Battery Status window and check that the Batt Fully Charged message is displayed. 3 Disconnect the X2 from the external power supply (M8023A) or host monitor, and let it run until there is no battery power left and the X2 switches itself off. 4 Reconnect the monitor to mains power or a host monitor and charge the battery until it is full for use or charge to 50% for storage. Storing a Battery A battery should not remain inside the monitor if it is not used for a longer period of time. Batteries should be charged to a maximum of 50% for storage. NOTE The battery will discharge over time if it is stored inside the X2 when not connected to a powered
(either running or in Standby) host monitor or the external power supply (M8023A). The reported values for remaining capacity and runtime will become less accurate when the battery is stored in this way for a longer period of time (that is, several weeks). 226 Battery Safety Information 21 Using Batteries Battery Safety Information WARNING Use only Philips batteries part number M4607A. Use of a different battery may present a risk of fire or explosion. Do not open batteries, or dispose of them in fire, or cause them to short circuit. They may ignite, explode, leak or heat up, causing personal injury. Dispose of used batteries promptly and in an environmentally-responsible manner. Do not dispose of the battery in normal waste containers. Consult your hospital administrator to find out about local arrangements. CAUTION Do not disassemble, heat above 100C (212F) or incinerate the batteries, to avoid the risk of fire and burns. Keep batteries out of the reach of children and in their original package until you are ready to use them. If battery leakage should occur, use caution in removing the battery. Avoid contact with skin. Refer to qualified service personnel. 227 21 Using Batteries Battery Safety Information 228 22 22Maintenance and Troubleshooting WARNING Schedule: Failure on the part of the responsible individual hospital or institution employing the use of this equipment to implement a satisfactory maintenance schedule may cause undue equipment failure and possible health hazards. Contact: If you discover a problem with any of the equipment, contact your service personnel, Philips, or your authorized supplier. Inspecting the Equipment and Accessories You should perform a visual inspection before every use, and in accordance with your hospitals policy. With the monitor switched off:
1 Examine unit exteriors for cleanliness and general physical condition. Make sure that the housings are not cracked or broken, that everything is present, that there are no spilled liquids and that there are no signs of abuse. Inspect all accessories (cables, transducers, sensors and so forth). If any show signs of damage, do not use. 2 3 Switch the monitor on and make sure the backlight is bright enough. Check that screen is at its full brightness. If the brightness is not adequate, contact your service personnel or your supplier. Inspecting the Cables and Cords 1 Examine all system cables, the power plug and cord for damage. Make sure that the prongs of the 2 plug do not move in the casing. If damaged, replace it with an appropriate Philips power cord. Inspect the patient cables, leads and their strain reliefs for general condition. Make sure there are no breaks in the insulation. Make sure that the connectors are properly engaged at each end to prevent rotation or other strain. 3 Apply the transducer or electrodes to the patient, and with the monitor switched on, flex the patient cables near each end to make sure that there are no intermittent faults. 229 22 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Maintenance Task and Test Schedule Maintenance Task and Test Schedule The following tasks are for Philips-qualified service professionals only. All maintenance tasks and performance tests are documented in detail in the service documentation supplied on the monitor documentation CD.

269 24 Specifications Safety and Performance Tests Safety and Performance Tests You must observe any national regulations on the qualification of the testing personnel and suitable measuring and testing facilities. See the maintenance section for a list of required tests. Safety and performance tests, and what to do if the instrument does not meet these specifications are described in the Installation and Service guide. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Specifications Take special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) when using medical electrical equipment. You must operate your monitoring equipment according to the EMC information provided in this book. Portable and mobile radio frequency (RF) communications equipment can affect medical electrical equipment. Accessories Compliant with EMC Standards All accessories listed in the accessories section comply, in combination with the monitor, with the requirements of IEC 60601-1-2:2001 + A1:2004. WARNING Using accessories other than those specified may result in increased electromagnetic emission or decreased electromagnetic immunity of the monitoring equipment. Electromagnetic Emissions The monitor is suitable for use in the electromagnetic environment specified in the table below. You must ensure that it is used in such an environment Emissions test Radio Frequency (RF) emissions Compliance Group 1 RF emissions CISPR 11 for the MP2 or X2 with all accessories except the M2741A Sidestream CO2 sensor RF emissions CISPR 11 for the MP2 or X2 whenever used with the M2741A Sidestream CO2 sensor Class B Class A Avoiding Electromagnetic Interference The monitor uses RF energy only for its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause any interference in nearby electronic equipment The monitor is suitable for use in all establishments, including domestic establishments and those directly connected to the public low-voltage supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. The monitor is suitable for use in all establishments other than those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. Avoiding Electromagnetic Interference (Resp) The respiration (Resp) measurement is a very sensitive measurement that measures a very small signal. Technological limitations do not allow higher immunity levels than 1 V/m for radiated RF electromagnetic fields and 1 Vrms for conducted disturbances induced by RF fields. Electromagnetic fields with field strengths above 1 V/m and conducted disturbances above 1 Vrms may cause erroneous measurements. Therefore Philips recommends that you avoid using electrically radiating equipment in the close proximity of this measurement. 270 Safety and Performance Tests 24 Specifications WARNING The monitor should not be used next to or stacked with other equipment. If you must stack the monitor, you must check that normal operation is possible in the necessary configuration before you start monitoring patients.

Power frequency magnetic fields should be a t levels characteristic of a typical location in a typical commercial and/or hospital environment In this table, UT is the a.c. mains voltage prior to application of the test level. Recommended Separation Distance WARNING The monitor, equipped with a wireless network interface, intentionally receives RF electromagnetic energy for the purpose of its operation. Therefore, other equipment may cause interference, even if that other equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements. In the following table, P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in metres
(m). The values given in brackets are for respiration. 271 24 Specifications Safety and Performance Tests Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the monitor, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation appropriate for the frequency of the transmitter. Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range. Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with this symbol:

1.If ECG/SpO2 signals are acquired from a telemetry device via short range radio the compliance level is 3V/m except in the range 2.0 to 2.3 GHz where it is 1 V/m. Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular, cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the monitor is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the monitor should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the monitor. These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people. 272 Safety and Performance Tests 24 Specifications Recommended separation distances from portable and mobile RF communication equipment The monitor is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or user of the monitor can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the monitor as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment. In the following table, P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in metres
