The warpage of the PCB is max. 0,75% according to IPC-A-610E. The thickness of solder resist on the host PCB top side and the WiBear11n bottom side must be considered for the soldering process. Modules rated at moisture sensitivity level 3. See moisture sensitive warning label on each shipping bag for detailed information. After opening the dry pack, modules must be mounted within 168 hours in factory conditions of maximum 30C/60%RH or must be stored at less than 10%RH. Modules require baking if the humidity indicator card shows more than 10% when read at 235C or if the conditions mentioned above are not met. Please refer to J-STD-033B standard for bake procedure. Module is compatible with industrial reflow profile for RoHS/Pb-free solders, Sn96.5/Ag3.0/Cu0.5 solder is a right choice. Use of "No Clean" soldering paste is strongly recommended, cleaning the populated modules is strongly discouraged - residuals under the module cannot be easily removed with any cleaning process. Cleaning with water can lead to capillary effects where water is absorbed into the gap between the host board and module. The combination of soldering flux residuals and encapsulated water could lead to short circuits between neighboring pads. Only a single reflow soldering process is permitted for host boards with WiBear11n modules. The reflow profile used is dependent on the thermal mass of the entire populated PCB, heat transfer efficiency of the oven and particular type of solder paste used. Since the profile used is process and layout dependent, the optimum profile should be studied case by case. Recommendations below should be taken as a starting point guide. In case of basic information necessity please refer to J-STD-020C standard.

Attaching a sensor to a patient will initiate measurements by that particular parameter. Monitoring will continue until the sensor is removed from the patient or the unit (and the consequent alarm is silenced). In the case of non-invasive blood pressure, measurements start once the user presses the start button and will continue on a regular basis when in automatic mode until either the cycle is stopped by the user or the unit is unable to take a reading e.g. cuff is removed. 3.3.1 Pulse rate and oxygen saturation (SpO2) Pulse oximetry measures functional oxygen saturation. Pulse oximetry is based on the following:
The difference in the absorption of red and infrared light (spectrophotometry) by oxyhaemoglobin and deoxyhaemoglobin Changes in the volume of arterial blood in tissue during the pulse cycle (plethysmography), and hence, light absorption by that blood. A pulse oximeter determines Spot Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) by passing red and infrared light into an arteriolar bed and measures changes in light absorption during the pulsatile cycle. Red and infrared low power light emitting diodes (LEDs) in the oximetry sensor serve as light sources; a photodiode serves as the photo detector. Since oxyhaemoglobin and deoxyhaemoglobin differ in light absorption, the amount of red and infrared light absorbed by blood is related to haemoglobin oxygen saturation. To identify the oxygen saturation of arterial haemoglobin, the monitor uses the pulsatile nature of arterial flow. During systole, a new pulse of arterial blood enters the vascular bed and blood volume and light absorption increase. During diastole, blood volume and light absorption reach their lowest point. The monitor bases its SpO2 measurements on the difference between maximum and minimum absorption
(measurements at systole and diastole). The focus of light absorption by pulsatile arterial blood eliminates the effects of nonpulsatile absorbers such as tissue, bone, and venous blood. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 31 Chapter 3 Introduction to the Tempus Pro Pulse rate and oxygen saturation are detected by a soft reusable finger probe packed on the rear of the device (disposable sensors may also be used). In particular it is also important that the sensor is not used on the same arm as the blood pressure cuff, because false readings may occur when the cuff is inflated. Readings will not be obtainable or may be inaccurate from patients with some colours of nail varnish or polish. Masimo SET Rainbow measurements use a multi-wavelength sensor to distinguish between oxygenated blood, deoxygenated blood, blood with carbon monoxide content and blood with oxidized haemoglobin. The sensors have various light emitting diodes (LEDs) that pass light through the site to a photodiode (photodetector). The maximum radiant power of the strongest light is rated at 22 mW. The photodetector receives the light and converts it into an electronic signal. Masimo SET Rainbow signal extraction technology then calculates the measurement values. 3.3.2 Non-invasive blood pressure The Tempus Pro uses oscillometric technology to measure the patient's blood pressure non-invasively. A pump within Tempus Pro inflates the reusable blood pressure cuff around the patient's arm. Circulating blood within the arm causes slight changes (oscillations) in the cuff pressure, which can be detected and measured. As the inflation pressure changes, the systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure can be measured. This method of blood pressure measurement provides accurate readings provided that the correct size of cuff is used, it is attached to the patient correctly and the specified operating precautions are observed. 3.3.3 Electrocardiograph (ECG) The ECG is intended to monitor patients of all ages in hospital and pre-hospital applications (including transport) for general cardiac monitoring. Electrical currents influenced by the cardiac impulse flow through the body tissue around the heart. The Tempus Pro can be used with:
a 3-lead cable to monitor ECG leads I-III;
a 4-lead cable to monitor ECG leads I-III, AvR, AvL and AvF;
a 5-lead cable to monitor ECG leads I-III, AvR, AvL, AvF and a user-placeable V lead. Twelve lead diagnostic recording functionality is available as an option. To support this, use one of the standard or modular 12-lead cables (including precordial chest electrodes) available from RDT. ECG cables can be used with conventional disposable pre-gelled electrodes (not supplied) for ECG monitoring and alarming. 3.3.4 Impedance pneumography Impedance pneumography operates by continuously measuring changes in the impedance of the patients body. This is done using the two or more ECG electrodes and thus allows the device to measure the patients impedance through the chest. Impedance is measured using a low-current, high frequency alternating current signal. As the patient breathes, the chest expands and contracts giving a rising and falling impedance reading. The Tempus measures the time between successive peaks and troughs of the impedance measurement and translates the time into an interval or rate of respiration. The impedance method is an indirect measurement of respiration and is also subject to muscle noise and electrode placement and therefore is inferior to the respiration rate measurement provided through capnography. 3.3.5 End tidal CO2 (ETCO2) and respiration rate Tempus uses Microstream nondispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy to continuously measure the amount of CO2 present at the end of exhalation (EtCO2) and the Respiratory Rate. Infrared spectroscopy is used to measure the concentration of molecules that absorb infrared light. Since absorption is proportional to the concentration of the absorbing molecule, CO2 concentration can be determined by comparing its absorption to that of a known standard. The Microstream EtCO2 consumables deliver a sample of the inhaled and exhaled gases from the ET tube adaptor or directly from the patient (via an oral/nasal cannula) into the monitor for CO2 measurement. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 32 3.3 Theory of operation Moisture and patient secretions are extracted from the sample, while maintaining the shape of the CO2 waveform. The 50 ml/min. sampling flow rate reduces liquid and secretion accumulation, decreasing the risk of obstruction in the sample pathway in humid ICU environments. Once inside the Microstream CO2 sensor, the gas sample goes through a micro-sample cell (15 microliters). This extremely small volume is quickly flushed, allowing for fast rise time and accurate CO2 readings, even at high respiration rates. The Micro Beam IR source illuminates the micro-sample cell and the reference cell. This proprietary IR light source generates only the specific wavelengths characteristic of the CO2 absorption spectrum. Therefore, no compensations are required when different concentrations of N2O, O2, anaesthetic agents and water vapour are present in the inhaled and exhaled breath. The IR that passes through the micro-sample cell and the IR that passes through the reference cell are measured by the IR detectors. The microprocessor in the monitor calculates the CO2 concentration by comparing the signals from both detectors. 3.3.6 Temperature Two channels of contact temperature are measured through two sockets on the Tempus. These sockets are compatible with YSI type 400 probes only. A range of third-party YSI 400 series compatible transducers may be used with the Tempus. These transducers may be re-usable or disposable. The Tempus measures temperature by measuring the changing resistance in the tip of the transducer. When a transducer is correctly attached to the Tempus and to the patient e.g. in the rectum or axilla, the Tempus obtains a constant (direct) reading of resistance that equates to the temperature at that site. There is no offset or reference body site. The device contains a self-checking system which checks the thermometer against a known (internal) reference point (every second). If this cross-check fails at any time the thermometer will be disabled and an error posted on the display. The thermometers reading can be presented in C or F. 3.3.7 Invasive pressure Two channels of invasive pressure are measured through a socket on the Tempus. An interface cable is required to be attached to this socket, the interface cable splits into two ends, each of which can be connected to a third-party pressure transducer (with a sensitivity of 5 V/V/mmHg). A range of third-party transducers (both reusable and disposable) are available. A list of compatible sensors is provided in section 14.8. A different interface cable is required to adapt the Tempus socket to the specific connectors of each type of transducer. The Tempus measures pressure by measuring the changing resistance in the transducer. When a transducer is correctly attached to the Tempus and to the patients blood stream e.g. in the pulmonary artery, the Tempus obtains a constant reading of resistance that equates to the systolic and diastolic pressure. From this mean arterial pressure and heart rate are also calculated. The option to use two additional channels invasive pressure measurement is provided by an external USB IP Module. The 2 Channel IP Module can be located adjacent to the Tempus Pro or clipped onto a new feature on the rear clip. There is no setup required to connect the USB device to the Tempus Pro, other than plug the USB cable in. The Tempus Pro will automatically recognise that the module is attached. 3.3.8 Controls and indicators The controls and indicators are divided into three types, items on a touchscreen, membrane buttons and LED indicators. The Tempus Pro can be operated with or without gloves. Note Note Touchscreen and membrane buttons should be pressed once. As with all touchscreens if your finger wavers or quivers, the Tempus Pro may register it as more than one press. To display ultrasound and video laryngoscopy images on the Tempus Pro's large colour display, you can use third-party ultrasound probes and video laryngoscopy accessories. For more information, see the Tempus Pro Ultrasound Supplement Guide and Tempus Pro Laryngoscope Supplement Guide. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 33 Chapter 3 Introduction to the Tempus Pro 3.3.9 Summary Record of Care / Tactical Combat Casualty Care The Tempus contains an electronic patient record card known as a Summary Record of Care (SRoC). This is completed semi-automatically through the collection of vital signs and the use of the Event button. SRoC allows the user to record patient trauma details and to review historic events and trends. SRoC is automatically augmented with patient encounter data when:
An arrhythmia alarm is triggered. The Tempus Pro automatically logs an event. You can also store a snapshot of the waveform at the same time, see the All Alarms menu. A waveform snapshot is manually captured. To capture a waveform at any time, press and release the Camera & Waveform Snapshot button. A 12 Lead ECG is recorded. A camera or laryngoscope image is recorded. For laryngoscope details refer to Tempus Pro Laryngoscope Supplement Guide. An ultrasound image is recorded. Images can be taken during general and FAST exams. Refer to Tempus Pro Ultrasound Supplement Guide. Tempus Pro can also be configured to record a Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) card (this feature only applies to Tempus units configured with the TCCC patient report type); for details see 9.3.2 Updating the TCCC card. 3.3.10 Previous activity button The Previous Activity button allows the user to return to the last non-monitoring function that they were using i.e.:
TCCC card Summary Record of Care Enter patient details Discharge patient 3.3.11 Trends All vital signs are captured on the device. These can be easily viewed as a graphical or tabular trend. Also included in the trends are all alarm states and Events. 3.3.12 Data handover The Events, Trauma Record and Trend data (as well as photos and 12 Lead ECGs) are automatically collated together to form a Summary Record of Care patient report. This can be exported from the Tempus via USB and handed to the next caregiver within the care path. Should the next caregiver have a Tempus Pro, the data may then be viewed and augmented on that unit. Alternatively, the data may be viewed on any computer that is capable of reading .PDF files. 3.3.13 Email An encrypted PDF formatted Summary Record of Care can be shared using email. Encryption and data transfer are performed using FIPS- 140-2 compliant technology. 3.3.14 ePCR export Summary Record of Care data can be exported to an electronic Patient Care Reporting system (ePCR). Encryption and data transfer are performed using FIPS- 140-2 compliant technology. This feature is optional. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 34 3.3 Theory of operation 3.3.15 Communications GPS The Tempus contains a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) receiver. This can be used to detect signals from multiple geostationary satellites to obtain a location (expressed in terms of longitude and latitude). The GPS receiver needs a clear view of the sky to work and so must be used outside. Digital camera & waveform snapshot A miniature digital camera is mounted in the unit. Still photos of the patient can be taken which are then automatically added to the patient record. Photos can be transmitted to a Response Centre at the time (if the device is connected to a Response Centre) or transmitted later. In addition, if the Tempus is connected then live moving video can be transmitted (one way from the Tempus to the Response Centre). This enables the user to show to colleagues the patient and what is happening to them. The Camera & Waveform Snapshot button is a two function key. Pressing the button will record the previous ten seconds and the following ten seconds of the waveforms for review. Pressing and holding the button will take you to the Camera & Video Options Menu. Long range voice and data communications In addition to being able to operate as a vital signs monitor, the Tempus Pro can optionally transmit all of its measurements via a communications link to a Response Centre. The device allows the Response Centre to see exactly what is on the Tempus display in real time. Therefore, the Response Centre user can see what the patients vital signs are, if they are in an alarm condition etc. In addition, the Response Centre user can control the device remotely (except for the alarm controls on the membrane keypad which are not provided to the Response Centre user). The Tempus also allows the user to talk to the Response Centre user via a wired or wireless headset. The user at the Response Centre is able to receive still photos from the device and is also able to annotate these pictures (with words, symbols and markings) and send back to the Tempus device to better illustrate the verbal instructions being given to the operator at the remote location. The Response Centre user can also receive moving video from the Tempus. The Tempus Pro can connect over either wired or wireless (WiFi) Ethernet networks. All data, voice and video that is transmitted can be secured using FIPS- 140-2 compliant encryption technology. If the device is connected to a Response Centre, then all the readings are transmitted via a communications link to a computer at a Response Centre which enables the user there to see exactly the same information that is being displayed on the device in real time. The only exceptions to this are when a 12 Lead ECG is being monitored or recorded and when a still photo is being taken in both cases the data (ECG or picture) is first recorded and then transmitted to the Response Centre. ECG data and digital pictures take the following amount of time to send to the Response Centre:
12 lead ECG recordings 1 minute Digital picture up to 30 seconds Note Note These times are for guidance only and are based on the use of a 64kbaud or greater connection. Real time data and waveforms are transmitted with up to a 5 second delay. RDT recommends that users perform a test connection to the Response Centre every month in order to verify that their communications remain open for the Tempus to use. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 35 Chapter 3 Introduction to the Tempus Pro Bluetooth communications The Tempus is fitted with a Bluetooth radio. This enables it to communicate with other Bluetooth enabled devices. The Tempus can be provided with an optional Bluetooth headset for providing voice communications. 3.3.16 On-screen user instructions The Tempus provides the user with a conventional vital signs monitoring user interface. It can also be set to provide additional on-screen instructions in the form of text and graphics. This is called iAssist mode. It is intended for use by a trained healthcare professional, who may benefit from additional instructions on how to attach the monitor to a patient. It is assumed that a more skilled or experienced user will turn the iAssist feature on before handing the device to the more junior colleague. iAssist is intended to make the device easier to use, provide on-screen instructions and provide context sensitive errors in order to help the user apply the device. It does not change the behaviour of the patient or technical alarms except to provide more on-screen and graphical instructions in some cases. Using iAssist means that the format of the results (Home Screen) changes from a 4 channel (2 ECG, Plethysmogram and Capnogram) layout to a 3 channel (1 ECG, Plethysmogram and Capnogram) layout. iAssist instructions are available for ECG monitoring, Non-Invasive Blood Pressure, Pulse Oximetry, Contact Temperature and Capnography. iAssist instructions are not available for invasive pressure as this process requires specific training and is surgically invasive. Instructions are not included for use of a 10-wire ECG cable as this requires specific training. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 36 4 Setting up 4.1 Before deployment Prior to deployment of Tempus Pro there are settings that user organisations need to configure.

For ECG, Pulse Oximetry, Contact Temperature, Invasive Pressure or Capnography the data will begin to appear on the display as soon as the parameter is connected i.e. there is no start control or button for these parameters. Since the non-invasive blood pressure measurements are single readings this requires the user to both attach the cuff to the patient and start the reading. These readings are therefore time-stamped with the time that they were recorded.

This section will explain how to use both features. The device defaults to ECG monitoring with either a 3-lead, a 4-lead or a 5-lead cable. WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING The ECG device is not intended for use in a sterile environment. Do not use for direct cardiac application. The ECG device is reusable, other than disposable single-use electrodes. Do not attempt to insert the ECG device (including patient cables) into an electrical outlet. The ECG is for resting recordings and should not be used in stress testing environments. Ensure electrodes are connected only to the patient. Conductive parts of electrodes and connectors, including neutral electrode, should not contact other conductive parts including earth. During ECG recordings, ECG alarms are not active and will only be reactivated once monitoring is resumed. The Tempus Pro is rated as being proof against the effects of a defibrillator discharge. Follow these warnings if using an AED or defibrillator with the Tempus Pro:
Follow the instructions of the defibrillator or AED when using it with the Tempus Pro. Do not touch the patient during defibrillation. Do not touch the defibrillators paddle-electrode surface when discharging the defibrillator. Keep defibrillation electrodes well clear of other electrodes or metal parts in contact with the patient. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 55 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings Do not touch the patient, bed, or any conductive material in contact with the patient during defibrillation. The Tempus Pro is protected against defibrillator discharge but rate meters and displays may be temporarily affected during defibrillator discharge but will rapidly recover. The Tempus Pro may not operate effectively on patients who are experiencing convulsions or tremors, or who are moving or are in motion (transport) environments. In such cases remember to use best practise for electrode site selection (torso rather than limbs), site preparation (cleaning/scrubbing with an alcohol wipe) and cable securement at the sensor site and as much as possible along the cables length. In motion environments the Tempus should be secured using a clamp or strap and to obtain the best possible readings the device should be damped to reduce shocks or vibrations if possible. The Tempus is not for direct cardiac application. Do not use electrodes of dissimilar metals. Always set the Tempus Pro to the correct patient age to ensure the QRS detector is set to detect appropriate R wave amplitudes. Per AAMI EC 13, the Tempus uses the definitions of patient age provided as follows:
Neonate Children 28 days old or less if born at term (based on 37-week gestation), otherwise up to 44 gestational weeks. Paediatric (Child) Children of 29 days up to and including 12 years old. Adult Individuals 13 years old or older. Failure to set the correct age may result in the Tempus mis-detecting R waves and providing incorrect heart rate values. Setting the patient age to 8 years or less will mean that the ECG monitor will be set to detect paediatric R waves per AAMI EC13. If you do not set the patient age, the Tempus will use the default patient age group
(see the Tempus Pro Maintenance Manual). Ensure that the patient age/type is always entered for non-adult patients see 9.3.5 Entering patient details. WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING CAUTION As the following sections will explain, the Tempus Pro will present results in a different layout depending on whether the device is set to ECG monitoring or Diagnostic ECG. The alarm functions will be the same in either case. CAUTION Certain line-isolation monitors may cause interference on the ECG display and may inhibit heart rate alarms. Users should ensure electrodes are placed correctly, with the skin prepared in advance as instructed. CAUTION The electrodes of the ECG apron must be applied carefully. Follow the electrode manufacturers instructions in the storage, removal and application of the electrodes to the patient to ensure the electrode is placed optimally. CAUTION Care must be taken to ensure that the electrodes do not contact live (electrical) parts or earthed metal parts of local systems or structures. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 56 6.1 Electrocardiography (ECG) CAUTION Note Note If the patient is attached to a cardiac defibrillator, care must be taken not to touch any part of the ECG cables while the patient is being shocked. The leads and cables of the ECG should be checked for fraying, tears, knots or other signs of damage before and after use. Ensure that all labelling including instructions for use, printed warnings and use-by dates associated with third-party ECG electrodes are adhered to. 6.1.1 Getting started 1. To measure correct R wave values, make sure that the right age group is selected in the patient details. For instructions, see 9.3.5 Entering patient details. 2. Make sure that you have read the monitoring standards in "14.1.1 ECG monitoring". 3. Ensure that the ECG cable is properly inserted into the green connector on the Tempus Pro:
4. Prepare the patient's skin at the electrode sites:
Shave or clip excess hair. Clean the skin thoroughly with an alcohol wipe. Rub the skin to dry. 5. If the patient has a pacemaker, turn on pacemaker indication:
Press the ECG area of the touchscreen or navigate to the medical parameter setting in the Main Menu. Switch Pacemaker indication on. 6. Make sure that the frequency setting matches the frequency of the mains you are using:

Could the electrodes be dry or poorly attached?
Is the mains filter set correctly (see ECG Settings)?
6.1.6 Performing a diagnostic ECG The 12 Lead function enables users to record a 10 second trace for immediate or subsequent analysis and interpretation. The 10 second recording will be added to the patient record and therefore can be exported by USB stick to another Tempus or to a computer to be read as a .PDF file. The ECG can also be transmitted to a Response Centre if this option is in use see 9.6 Connecting to an alternate location. Making a 12 lead ECG recording Pressing the Start Record button will initiate a 10 second recording. If the Tempus is connected to a Response Centre then this will be transmitted as soon as the recording is complete. The Response Centre has tools for measuring the ECG. Otherwise, the recording can be viewed on screen by using the left and right arrow keys. Note If you inadvertently press Stop Record, you can press Start Record to immediately restart the recording. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 63 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings 12 Lead ECG Recording Screen The ECG recording can be scrolled through using these buttons If an internal printer is fitted to the Tempus, you can print the 10 second recording using the Print button. For printer instructions see 9.9.2 Internal printer configuration (optional). If the Tempus Pro is fitted with an internal printer and automatic printing is enabled, it will print waveforms as soon as they are captured. ECG interpretation WARNING WARNING WARNING Note Note All numerical, graphical and interpretive data should be evaluated with respect to the patient's clinical and historical picture. ECG interpretation performed by software is not a substitute for review and evaluation of ECG recordings by a qualified clinician. Motion artefact or noise in the ECG recording could result in erroneous interpretations. Interpretations are unconfirmed and need to be reviewed by a clinician. ECG interpretation is only available for patients aged 18 years and over. If age is not set, interpretation will be based on an adult patient type. The Tempus Pro provides ECG interpretation of the 12 lead ECG recordings. This interpretation includes:
Rhythm statements there are 69 different statements this includes the reporting of detected Arrhythmias such as Ventricular Tachycardia, Atrial Fibrillation, Extreme Bradycardia, and AV Block
(please see QRS Diagnostic Physician's Guide ECG Analysis for Resting 12-lead ECG for further information, Part number 630000-00).

The ECGs display includes the isoelectric segments of the QRS. For leads off detection, the ECG device applies a 1 kHz triangular wave of approximately 6 mV p-p between the R/RL and L/LL electrodes The Heart Rate Detection of the ECG monitor is accurate to +/-10% or +/-5 bpm for a T Wave of amplitude: up to 1.0 mV. The heart rate is calculated from the average of the 8 most recent RR intervals. Intervals are logged as invalid if the detections are unreliable, or if detections are absent over the maximum RR interval of 2.4 s. Invalid intervals are counted but not included in the average. If there are no valid intervals in the most recent 8, then no heart rate is reported. Heart rate is updated with every new valid or invalid interval. Further to clause 4.1.2.1e) of AAMI EC13: the systems response to Fig 3a is 40 bpm 10% (inverted QRS are counted). The systems response to Fig 3b is 30-100 bpm (small QRS are intermittently counted). The systems response to Fig 3c is 120 bpm 10% (all QRS are counted). The systems response to Fig 3d is 60-100 bpm (bipolar QRS are intermittently counted). Electrical noise such as power line transients can cause false heart beat detection which may inhibit alarms. The problem may be minimized by ensuring good electrode contact. Power system noise may be reduced by running the monitor from its battery. The systems typical response time to change from 80 to 120 bpm is ~7 s, for a change from 80 to 40 bpm is the typical response time is ~7.5 s. The system heart rate alarm will respond to the specified tachycardia signals of Figures 4a and 4b of AAMI EC13 within 5-7 s. In some cases, an out of range alarm may be given, with an indication of no valid heart rate. The heart rate limit alarm will respond to an out of range condition 0-10 seconds after being activated. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 66 6.1 Electrocardiography (ECG) Per EC13, 4.1.4.1, heart rate is accurately indicated in the presence of effective pacemaker single pulses without overshoot, having width of up to 2 ms and amplitude up to 700 mV, and such pulses alone do not cause heart rate detection. In the case of ineffectively paced QRS, erratic readings may result for single pulses above 2 mV. Overshoot is specified according to EC13 4.1.4.1 Method B. Per EC13 4.2.9.12, the muscle filter will make pacemaker pulses appear smaller than 2mm. Switch muscle filters off (Diagnostic filter setting) to see pacemaker pulses more clearly. Measurements of the ECG waveform should be normalized against the scale provided. The scale presents 1 mV as 8 mm with a gain setting of 10mm/mV. Note that in the 4 waveform view the channel height of the ECG is 24 mm and thus permits a maximum input signal of 2.2 mV when using a gain of 5 mm/mV. In the large ECG view a maximum input signal of 5 mV is achieved using a gain of 5 mm/mV. Large ECG view is described in 9.2 Display options. Compliance with EC12 clause 4.2.9.8 b) (and relevant clause of IEC60601-2-25:2011) requirements for frequency response are achieved only with the muscle filters switched off (i.e. using the Diagnostic filter setting). For leads off detection, the ECG applies a 1 kHz triangular wave of approximately 6 mV p-p between the R/RL and L/LL electrodes. The slew rate of the ECG as per AAMI EC13 4.1.4.3 is 3.7 V/s (all filters off). ECG recording specifications The following disclosures are made in accordance with the requirements of AAMI EC11 and IEC60601-2-25:
Frequency and impulse response has been evaluated according to methods A, B and C of EC11:1991 3.2.7.2/4.2.7.2. All EC11 tests have been performed using SCP files generated by the i2i software as an acquisition system. Compliance requires that all optional filters be switched off. ECG data in this system are contained in computer files, using a proprietary format based on the SCP-
ECG standard. The ECG data are digitized using a sample rate of 500sps and a resolution of 2995nV/bit with 12 bit (4096 level) dynamic range. Automated measurements of amplitude and duration of QRS complexes generated from the ECG recording are only valid for adult patients. For younger patients the values should be measured using the electronic calipers within i2i. Per clause 201.12.1.101.3 automated measurements of the S segment duration of CAL waveforms are 15 ms. The automated value can be confirmed using the electronic calipers within i2i Per clause 201.12.4.107.3 The skew rate is 0 Automated measurements are only able to distinguish T-waves of amplitudes greater than >50 V Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 67 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings 6.1.8 ECG settings Pressing either of the ECG trace areas will bring up the ECG settings menu:

Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 69 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings In order to reduce noise and artefact the Monitoring filter should be set to Monitor or Filtered diagnostic and the Mains filter should be switched on. When attached to a mains power supply noise may be observed on the ECG if these filters are switched off. Consequently, they should be left switched on when operating under mains power or mains power should be disconnected if the filters need to be switched off. Users are reminded to have the mains filter frequency set to the correct value (50 Hz or 60 Hz) in order for it to be effective. This should be checked before use. Note Note Mains frequency setting. Hz means Hertz, or cycles per second. In North America, mains electricity supplies operate at 60 Hz; most of the rest of the world uses 50 Hz. In aircraft the filter should normally be set to 50 Hz. In remote land and maritime applications, the local voltage could be either 50 Hz or 60 Hz. ECG systems can pick up interference from mains electricity supplies. This interference appears on the screen as regular interference patterns. 6.1.9 Detecting arrhythmias during ECG monitoring During ECG monitoring, the Tempus Pro analyses the 2 ECG waveforms on the home screen to detect arrhythmias. All results are displayed as text on the results screen. WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING ECG monitoring arrhythmia analysis is a tool to be used in addition to patient assessment. Care should be taken to assess the patient at all times. The Automated ECG Arrhythmia Analysis software is designed to be used by qualified medical personnel. The clinician and/or medically qualified personnel are responsible for determining the clinical significance of each detected arrhythmia event or alarm. The arrhythmia detection feature on the Tempus Pro is not a diagnosis tool and is an additional tool to support the clinician in their own diagnosis only. The classification performance of the arrhythmia feature has been tested using the FDA recognised consensus standard. The analysis algorithm has also been tested and approved in other products. The monitor cannot be relied upon to detect all arrhythmias. Do not rely solely on the displayed arrhythmia data and alarms to assess the patients condition. Always observe the patient closely and monitor all of their vital signs carefully. WARNING The arrhythmia analysis program is intended to detect ventricular arrhythmias. It is not designed to detect atrial or supraventricular arrhythmias. The program may incorrectly identify the presence or absence of an arrhythmia. A physician must analyse the arrhythmia information with other clinical findings. WARNING The system can filter out some interference but corrupted or excessively noisy signals may cause artefacts. If the ECG waveform is too noisy, Noise is displayed on screen. If no arrhythmias are detected and there is no noise in the signal, Arrhythmia Analysis On is displayed to ensure the operator is aware arrhythmia analysis is running. WARNING Heart parameters can be affected by the use of drugs. Patient drug use history should be reviewed when reviewing detected arrhythmia. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 70 6.1 Electrocardiography (ECG) For patients with pacemakers, ensure pacemaker indication is turned on. Arrhythmia analysis is sourced from the ECG signal (including detection of extreme bradycardia, extreme tachycardia), this is independent of the heart rate display source selection (ECG or pulse). Only start arrhythmia learning during periods of predominantly normal rhythm, and when the ECG signal is relatively noise-free. 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 arrhythmias. If arrhythmia analysis is not restarted when a template changes:
Inaccurate arrhythmia alarms can be triggered. Inaccurate heart rates can be recorded. WARNING WARNING CAUTION CAUTION To optimise arrhythmia detection, select leads with the largest amplitude and the least amount of noise to be analysed:
1. Turn on arrhythmia analysis in the ECG menu. Arrhythmia detection starts up and performs a learning period. 2. To change the waveforms being analysed, press Lead waveform selection on the ECG menu and select the lead required. 3. If a patient's ECG template changes dramatically, turn arrhythmia analysis off and on. Arrhythmia detection performs a relearning period based on the new template. An arrhythmia detection relearning period can also be triggered when you:
Change patients Change Lead waveform selection or Heart rate lead options The following arrhythmia events are detected and recorded:

No QRS complex for 5 consecutive seconds (in absence of ventricular fibrillation or chaotic signals) Ventricular Vent Fib fibrillation Ventricular fibrillation occurs and persists for more than 6 seconds. A medium priority alarm is triggered when:
Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 71 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings Arrhythmia analysis is turned off, and either the low heart rate or high heart rate alarm limits are breached. Arrhythmia analysis is turned on, and either the low heart rate or high heart rate alarm limits are breached A high priority Extreme Brady or Extreme Tachy alarm is triggered when the heart rate continues past already breached alarm limits. A 20 second waveform snapshot is captured for all arrhythmia events that trigger an alarm see 8.1 Event capture. 6.1.10 Measuring ST elevation and QT interval (optional) WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING ST measurements should always be verified by the clinician and/ or medically qualified personnel. Some clinical conditions may make it difficult to achieve reliable ST monitoring. For best results, consider the following: the ability of the patient to cooperate and be relaxed. Patients who are restless can produce noisy physiological signals. Noisy signals which can result in inaccurately high or low data measurements. QT measurements should always be verified by the clinician and/ or medically qualified personnel. The ST and QT measurements have not been qualified for use on paediatric or neonate patients and are therefore switched off when an age <18 is entered on the Tempus Pro. The QT algorithm has been tested for accuracy. The significance of the QT segment however needs to be determined by a clinician. This feature is to aid the clinician in monitoring the change in QT only. The ST algorithm has been tested for accuracy of the ST segment data. The significance of the ST segment changes however needs to be determined by a clinician. This feature is to aid the clinician in monitoring the change in ST and not diagnosing STEMI or Ischemic events. During the 10 seconds of an ECG recording ST and QT measurements will stop and therefore there may be an additional delay before an ST or QT alarm is triggered if the alarm limit is breached during a recording. For very high heart rates (>250 bpm) no ST value will be reported. Some arrhythmia conditions may make it difficult to reliably produce ST measurements. With ECG waveforms with T-waves smaller than 0.1 mV, the accuracy of the QT measurement may be reduced, therefore select leads with large T-waves. Note When using a 3-lead ECG cable only 1 ECG waveform is produced. Therefore, only 1 ST measurement value can be produced by the Tempus Pro. For optimum monitoring of ST, a 4- or more lead cable should be used so both ST measurements can be reported. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 72 6.1 Electrocardiography (ECG) The Tempus Pro presents the user ST elevation (+) and depression (-) measurements as well as QT duration measurements for the electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring waveform and displays it in numeric format on the results screen. The Tempus makes ST and QT measurements on the 2 waveforms which are viewed on the home screen. These waveforms can be changed using the Lead Waveform selection option on the ECG menu. These measurements can be performed on any of the lead types available from the ECG cable being used. An ST measurement for each of the 2 waveforms is reported along with a single global QT measurement value. The ST measurement is taken between the ECG isoelectric line (PR segment) and a point in the ST segment. The point taken for measurement is 80 milliseconds after the J point if the heart rate does not exceed 115 bpm and 60 milliseconds after the J point if the heart rate exceeds 115 bpm. The ST measurement value is updated every 10s. If the measurement is not available, the display will show - - - . The ST value measured is a voltage; by convention the value is displayed as the equivalent measurement height for a standard ECG gain of 10mm/mV. In this convention 0.1mV will be displayed as 1.0mm. The ST measurement height gain is fixed at 10mm/mV and does not depend on the ECG gain setting. A medium priority alarm will be triggered if the ST alarm limit is exceeded for more than 1 minute and the value will flash to indicate it is in alarm. The QT interval is a measurement of the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the hearts electrical cycle. The Tempus Pro shows this measurement on the results screen. The QT value is reported in milliseconds (ms). A medium priority alarm will be triggered if the QT alarm limit is exceeded for more than 1 minute and the value will flash to indicate it is in alarm. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 73 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings 6.1.11 Monitoring respiration rate with ECG cable The Tempus Pro allows the user to monitor the patients respiration through the ECG cable by measuring the change in the patients impedance as their chest wall moves (impedance pneumography). This section will explain how to use this feature. The device defaults to impedance respiration being off. By turning Impedance Respiration on, it can be measured through one ECG lead on 3-, 4-, 5- or 12-lead cables, unless the Capnometer is in operation. Do not operate the Tempus with any other monitor with respiration measurements on the same patient. The two devices could affect the respiration accuracy of each other. Do not use the Tempus as an apnoea monitor. WARNING WARNING Respiration rate from ECG leads By default, the Tempus Pro will be set to monitor respiration rate through the ECG leads when it is supplied. WARNING If capnography is used, the Tempus will always obtain its respiration rate measurement from this parameter. If capnography is not available, then respiration will be derived from the ECG leads using an impedance-based method. In this case, users are reminded that the reading represents a cyclic change in measured impedance which is interpreted to be the change of impedance as the chest moves out and in. Users should note that this is therefore an indirect reading of respiration. WARNING Impedance pneumography detects respiratory effort through changes in chest volume. However, No Breath episodes with continued respiratory effort may go undetected. Always monitor and set alarms for SpO2 when using impedance pneumography to monitor respiratory function. WARNING With any monitor that detects respiratory effort through impedance pneumography, artefact due to patient motion, apnoea mattress shaking, or electrocautery use may cause apnoea episodes to go undetected. Always monitor and set alarms for SpO2 when using impedance pneumography to monitor respiratory function. WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING When using impedance pneumography, dont use the Tempus with another respiration monitor on the same patient, because the respiration measurement signals may interfere with one another. Impedance pneumography is not recommended for use on paced patients, because pacemaker pulses may be falsely counted as breaths. Impedance pneumography is not recommended for use with high frequency ventilation. Since impedance pneumography uses the same leads as the ECG channel, the Tempus unit determines which signals are cardiovascular artefact and which signals are the result of respiratory effort. If the breath rate is within five Percent of the heart rate, the monitor may ignore breaths and trigger a respiration alarm. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 74 6.1 Electrocardiography (ECG) CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION Users should note that in the case of supine patients, breathing may involve relatively greater movement of the abdomen (and consequently less expansion of the chest) during breathing. In this case chest impedance changes may not be significant to produce reliable readings. If impedance respiration is being used, the ECG electrodes should be placed on the torso and not the limbs. Impedance respiration measurements are highly subject to patient movement. The impedance changes across the chest during breathing can be easily masked by patient movement or muscle noise during movement. In motion environments care should be taken to observe best practise on electrode site preparation, electrode and cable securement, securement of the Tempus and securement of the patient. RDT recommends using capnography to measure respiration in motion environments. Impedance-based respiration monitoring is performed through the Lead II wires (RA-LL) by default. This can be changed to use Lead I (RA-LA). For the most reliable respiration measurement, users should select the lead which has the largest R-wave. Your choice depends on the ECG cable type connected and the lead chosen for ECG waveform monitoring:
ECG cable type connected Lead selected for ECG waveform monitoring Leads available for respiration monitoring 3-lead 4-, 5- or 12-lead Lead I Lead II Lead III Any Lead I only Lead II only Lead I or Lead II Lead I or Lead II
(independent of ECG waveform) Note If capnography is in use, the waveform will automatically change to CAPNO and will display the end tidal CO2. The results will change to additionally display the ETCO2 reading. Once the ECG cable is attached, respiration measurements will be started. The device will produce a reading once an average of 3 readings has been obtained. Consequently, with very low respiration rates
(e.g. 5 per minute), a reading may not be obtained for 30 seconds or more. The product will as a consequence also have a slower level of responsiveness to marginal changes in respiration rates with patients with such low breathing rates. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 75 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings The pneumography
(respiration) waveform is shown here The respiration rate is shown here Impedance respiration settings Pressing anywhere on the Respiration area brings up the Respiration Settings Menu. Note If capnography is in use, the waveform shown will be labelled CAPNO and will display the end tidal CO2. In this state pressing on the waveform will bring up the Capnometer Settings Menu. Menu option Menu screen Respiration limits (rpm) set the upper and lower alarm limits for respiration. Respiration wave speed (mm/s) set wave speed to 3.1, 6.25 or 12.5. This setting is independent of other waveforms. Respiration lead select which ECG lead will measure respiration rate. Respiration wave gain use the up and down arrows to adjust wave height (gain). Respiration monitoring turn impedance respiration off or on. Use this, for example, where patient movement is too great to allow stable impedance measurements to be taken. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 76 6.1 Electrocardiography (ECG) 6.1.12 Monitoring heart/pulse rate with no leads If the ECG is not attached to the patient, then the heart rate will be taken from the pulse oximeter if this is attached to the patient. Otherwise no heart rate will be shown. Note If the ECG is not connected but the pulse oximeter is, the heart rate will be show in the same place, in green but the signal will be derived from the pulse oximeter. In this event the reading will be labelled as shown below. In this condition the systole (heart symbol) is not shown and the systole tone will not sound. High and low heart rate alarms will operate as before. Pulse rate when measured from the pulse oximeter Alarm settings remain as they were set for the ECG Pulse Rate Measured from the Pulse Oximeter If the ECG is inoperable then the ECG will either show a Leads off error for the specific Lead that is unavailable or will show a technical error as described in section 7.4 Technical alarms. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 77 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings 6.2 Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING This device should not be used when oscillometric pulses may be altered by other devices or techniques such as External Counter pulsation (ECP) or Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Counter pulsation. DO NOT use the Blood pressure monitor for any purpose other than specified in this manual. DO NOT attach the cuff to a limb being used for IV infusions as the cuff inflation can block the infusion, potentially causing harm to the patient. You must use the right size of blood pressure cuff to suit the patient. The cuffs bladder length should be at least 80% of the limbs circumference which the cuff width should be equal to 40% of the limbs circumference. Selecting a cuff that is too small will result in measurements higher than the patients actual blood pressure. Conversely using too large a cuff will result in too low a reading. The appropriate cuff sizes are:
Disposable neonate cuff size 1 (3-6 cm), Disposable neonate cuff size 2 (4-8 cm), Disposable neonate cuff size 3 (6-11 cm), Disposable neonate cuff size 4 (7-13 cm), Disposable neonate cuff size 5 (8-15 cm), Disposable infant cuff (8-13 cm), ORANGE infant cuff (8-13 cm), GREEN child (12-19 cm), GREEN child LONG (12-19 cm), ROYAL BLUE small adult (17-25 cm), ROYAL BLUE small adult LONG (17-25 cm), NAVY BLUE normal adult (23-33 cm), NAVY BLUE normal adult LONG (23-33 cm), BURGUNDY large adult (31-40 cm), BURGUNDY large adult LONG (31-40 cm), BROWN adult thigh (38-50 cm). Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 78 6.2 Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) WARNING Always set the Tempus Pro to the correct patient age to ensure the initial inflation pressure is set correctly. The Tempus uses the definitions of patient age provided in IEC80601-2-30 as follows:
Neonate Children 28 days old or less if born at term (based on 37-week gestation), otherwise up to 44 gestational weeks. Paediatric (Child) Children of 29 days up to and including 12 years old. Adult Individuals 13 years old or older. Failure to set the correct age will result in the Tempus using an inappropriate cuff inflation pressure which could cause serious harm to a neonate or infant. For pressures, see 14.1.5 Non-invasive blood pressure. Setting the patient age to 2 years or less will mean that inflation pressures, alarm defaults and alarm ranges will be set to those for a neonate (per IEC80601-2-30). If you do not set the patient age, the Tempus will use the default patient age group
(see the Tempus Pro Maintenance Manual). Ensure that the patient age/type is always entered for non-adult patients see 9.3.5 Entering patient details. WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING CAUTION The Tempus Pro non-invasive blood pressure monitor is not for use with pregnant, including pre-eclamptic, patients. The Tempus Pro may not operate effectively on patients who are experiencing convulsions or tremors, or who are moving or are in motion (transport) environments. Prolonged or repetitive use of the blood pressure cuff may harm skin integrity and circulatory status. Observe the limb concerned to check that circulation is not impaired. Do not attempt to take NIBP readings from patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. If you suspect a non-invasive blood pressure measurement is invalid, repeat the measurement. If you remain unsure about the validity of the reading, then take another measurement using another piece of equipment or a different method. Do not apply the cuff over a wound, as this can cause further injury. Do not apply and pressurize the cuff on any limb where intravascular access or therapy such as an IV line, saline lock or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt, is present as it may cause temporary interference with blood flow and result in injury to the patient. Do not apply and pressurize the cuff on the arm on the side of mastectomy. Application of continuous cuff pressure due to kinking of the blood pressure hose can interfere with blood flow and result in harmful injury to the patient. Accuracy of any blood pressure measurement may be affected by the position of the subject, his or her physical condition and use outside of the operating instructions detailed in Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 79 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings this manual. Interpretation of blood pressure measurements should be made only by a physician or trained medical staff. Hoses of a certain material and/or durometer may cause the module to perform in an improper fashion. Only use hoses provided by RDT. Incorrectly sized cuffs may cause measurement inaccuracy or errors. If the blood pressure cuff is on the same limb as a pulse oximeter probe, the oxygen saturation results will be altered when the cuff occludes the brachial artery. To obtain accurate blood pressure readings, the cuff must be the correct size, and also be correctly fitted to the patient. Incorrect size or incorrect fitting may result in incorrect readings. When a cuff is going to be positioned on a patient for an extended length of time, be sure to occasionally check the limb for proper circulation. Allergic exanthema (symptomatic eruption) in the area of the cuff may result, including the formation of urticaria (allergic reaction including raised edematous patches of skin or mucous membranes and intense itching) caused by the fabric material of the cuff. Petechia (a minute reddish or purplish spot containing blood that appears in the skin) formation or Rumple-Leede phenomenon (multiple Petechia) on the forearm, following the application of the cuff, may lead to Idiopathic thrombocytopenia (spontaneous persistent decrease in the number of platelets associated with hemorrhagic conditions), or phlebitis
(inflammation of a vein) may be observed. Blood pressure readings can be affected by patient movement, speech, incorrect sizing and placement of the cuff and environmental factors (vibration, motion, noise etc.). Care should be taken to ensure that motion and other artefacts are removed or reduced when taking blood pressure readings. Do not place the cuff on the same limb as the pulse oximeter sensor as the cuff may prevent the pulse oximeter sensor from reading reliably during NIBP measurement cycles. Ensure the cuff is wrapped firmly around the arm; a loosely applied cuff can result in artificially high readings. Compression or restriction of the blood pressure hose or cuff, or induced movement or vibration or very low pulse volumes may prevent the monitor from taking a reading or may influence the accuracy of the reading obtained. The Tempus Pro non-invasive blood pressure monitor is designed to work with the cuffs and hoses supplied. Use of other cuffs and hoses may compromise performance and accuracy. The Tempus Pro non-invasive blood pressure monitor does not provide any specific burns protection parts for non-invasive blood pressure (in accordance with IEC80601-2-30 cl 201.7.9.2.101). CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION Note Note Note Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 80 6.2 Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) 6.2.1 Getting started The Tempus is intended to be used to take non-invasive blood pressure readings from neonates, children, small adults, adults and large adults. Blood pressure measurements can be affected by the position, physiologic condition, or activity level of the patient, who should be seated, standing or lying down depending on the usage model for the device or procedure being performed on the patient. If the patient is seated, they should have legs uncrossed, feet flat on the floor and back and arms supported. If the patient is lying (supine) they should not have their legs crossed. The patient should be comfortable, relaxed as much as possible and not talking during the NIBP measurement. Before taking the first measurement, a period of at least 5 minutes should elapse to give time for blood pressure stabilization. When the pressure in the cuff increases, the patient should avoid excess movement during measurements. Let the cuffed arm hang or lay loosely, slightly away from the body. Avoid flexing the muscles or moving the hand and fingers of the cuffed arm. Avoid having the cuff or the hose next to vibrating surfaces. The patient should be advised to relax as much as possible and not talk during the measurement procedure. The operator should be positioned in their normal operating position. To take a non-invasive blood pressure reading, remove the cuff from the rear of the device. If a cuff is not attached to the hose, or the hose is not attached to the Tempus then make the necessary connections (twist and lock for the cuff and push/latch to attach the hose). Ensure the cuff is wrapped firmly around the limb with the cuff placed centrally between the two joints of the limb i.e. 2-5 cm above the elbow joint or 5-10 cm above the knee. Ensure the end of the cuff wraps around within the two range lines if it does not then use a different cuff. Ensure the cuffs artery marker is placed over the position of the artery e.g. between the bicep and the tricep for the brachial artery on the arm. Ensure the hose is not kinked, crushed or damaged. Remember to place the middle of the cuff at the same level as the right atrium of the heart. Placing the cuff substantially higher or lower than the heart will result in incorrect readings. Remember that there may be differences in results between arms and legs, left and right side and can be affected by the patients position (sitting, standing, lying down), exercise or their physiologic condition. Once the cuff is attached, press the start button shown within the Blood Pressure area. The reading can be stopped at any time by pressing the button again (it will be labelled STOP). If an unexpected reading is obtained, wait for a brief period and then take the reading again having checked the hose for leaks and kinks, the correct placement of the cuff and the patients orientation. Remember that the pressure reading can be affected by common arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation, arteriosclerosis, poor perfusion, diabetes, age, pregnancy, pre-
eclampsia, renal diseases, patient motion, trembling, shivering etc. 6.2.2 Taking readings While the cuff is inflating and deflating, the icon in the start button will change to reflect the status of the reading i.e.:

Note The Tempus Pro Maintenance Manual describes how to set the Tempus to automatically clear the NIBP reading after 5 minutes if a new reading has not been taken. Menu option Menu screen Start start or stop NIBP readings. Mode select Manual, Auto or Rapid Cuff. Auto interval time (mins) when in Auto mode, set the time between NIBP readings. Systolic limits, Mean limits and Diastolic limits (mmHg) set the lower and upper alarm limits. Initial inflation (mmHg) change the initial inflation pressure. The default value is set by Tempus depending on patient age group. Reading format change the format of displayed NIBP readings. NIBP mode The NIBP can be set to read in three different modes:
Auto allows the user to set the Tempus to take readings automatically on a cycle (3 mins default, can be set to 2 mins, 3 mins, 5 mins, 10 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins and 60 mins). Manual allows the user to take a single reading only every time the NIBP button is pressed. Rapid Cuff where the Tempus will take as many readings as it can in 10 minutes and will then reset to Auto. If an NIBP technical alarm occurs while in Rapid Cuff mode, the alarm will be reported and the mode will reset to Auto. CAUTION Users should note that Rapid Cuff will only allow a short period between measurements for arterial recovery. Repeated use of the RapidCuff mode could have physiological effects including effects on the readings obtained. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 83 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings Initial inflation The user can adjust the initial NIBP inflation pressure. The default is set by the Tempus depending on patient age group see 9.3.5 Entering patient details. NIBP adjusts its inflation pressure dynamically between readings so this setting only applies to the first reading and when it is manually adjusted. Patient Type Default initial inflation Range Adult Paediatric (29 days to 12 years) Neonate (<29 days) 160 mmHg 140 mmHg 90 mmHg 120 to 280 mmHg 80 to 280 mmHg 60 to 140 mmHg NIBP reading format The Reading format control allows you to choose between two formats for displaying NIBP readings:
NIBP reading format S/D (M) NIBP reading format (M) S/D S = systolic D = diastolic M = mean Note Regardless of the reading format chosen, the Tempus Pro will continue to monitor the systolic, mean and diastolic pressures and will still output alarms when thresholds are exceeded. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 84 6.3 Pulse oximetry 6.3 Pulse oximetry WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING Do not use this device in the presence of high EMI/RFI radiation. High EMI/RFI radiation may cause induced current to the SpO2 sensor resulting in patient injury. This device may give inaccurate readings in the presence of strong electromagnetic sources, such as electrosurgery equipment. This device may give inaccurate readings in the presence of computed tomography
(CT) equipment. Prolonged use or the patients condition may require changing the sensor site periodically. Change sensor site and check skin integrity, circulatory status, and correct alignment at least every 4 hours. Prolonged use may cause blisters, skin deterioration, and discomfort. Incorrectly applied sensors may give inaccurate readings. SpO2 measurements may be inaccurate in the presence of high ambient light. Shield the sensor area (with a towel, for example) if necessary. Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as use of a blood pressure cuff or extremes in systemic vascular resistance, may cause an inability to determine accurate pulse rate and SpO2 readings. Remove fingernail polish or false fingernails before applying SpO2 sensors. Fingernail polish or false fingernails may cause inaccurate SpO2 readings. Significant levels of dysfunctional haemoglobins, such as carboxyhaemoglobin or methaemoglobin, will affect the accuracy of the SpO2 measurement. Tissue damage may result from overexposure to sensor light during photodynamic therapy with agents such as verteporphin, porfimer sodium and metatetrahydroxyphenylchlorin (mTHPC). Change the sensor site at least every hour and observe for signs of tissue damage. More frequent sensor site changes or inspections may be indicated depending upon the photodynamic agent used, agent dose, skin condition, total exposure time or other factors. Use multiple sensor sites. Optical cross-talk can occur when two or more sensors are placed in close proximity. It can be eliminated by covering each site with opaque material. Optical cross-talk may adversely affect the accuracy of the SpO2 readings. Obstructions or dirt on the sensors red light or detector may cause a sensor failure or inaccurate readings. Make sure there are no obstructions and the sensor is clean. Under certain clinical conditions, pulse oximeters may not display SpO2 and/or pulse rate values. Under these conditions, pulse oximeters may also display erroneous values. These conditions include, but are not limited to: patient motion, low perfusion, cardiac arrhythmias, high or low pulse rates or a combination of the above conditions. Failure of the clinician to recognize the effects of these conditions on pulse oximeter readings may result in patient injury. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 85 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING Do not use the pulse oximeter for any other purpose than specified in this manual. It should NOT be used as an apnoea monitor. Pulse rate measurement is based on the optical detection of a peripheral flow pulse and therefore may not detect certain arrhythmias. The pulse oximeter should not be used as a replacement or substitute for ECG based arrhythmia analysis. A pulse oximeter should be considered an early warning device. As a trend towards patient deoxygenation is indicated, blood samples should be analysed by a laboratory co-oximeter to completely understand the patients condition. Tissue damage can be caused by incorrect application or use of the sensor, for example by wrapping the sensor too tightly. Inspect the sensor site as directed in the sensor Directions for Use to ensure skin integrity and correct positioning and adhesion of the sensor. Interfering Substances: Carboxyhaemoglobin may erroneously increase readings. The level of increase is approximately equal to the amount of carboxyhaemoglobin present. Reposition the oximeter probe at least once every hour to allow the patient's skin to respire. This time should be reduced in ambient temperatures over 41 C. No other special actions are required for use in such ambient temperatures although users are advised to check the sensor site frequently in high temperatures to avoid skin damage. The SpO2 sensor should snugly fit the finger without straining it and if not alternative fingers should be tried. The probe is sized for patients who weigh 20 kg /44 lbs or more. The probe can be used either on patients fingers, thumbs or largest toe. The plethysmogram may become unstable on patients who are experiencing convulsions or tremors, who are moving or are in motion (transport) environments. Always read and follow the instructions on the packaging of SpO2 sensors regarding their storage, use and disposal. In particular take into account any information regarding toxicity. For measurements of high or low SpHb readings, blood samples should be analysed by laboratory instruments to completely understand the patients condition. A pulse oximeter cannot measure elevated levels of COHb or MetHb. Increases in either COHb or MetHb will affect the accuracy of the SpO2 measurement. For increased COHb: COHb levels above normal tend to increase the level of SpO2. The level of increase is approximately equal to the amount of COHb that is present. For increased MetHb: the SpO2 may be decreased by levels of MetHb of up to approximately 10% to 15%. At higher levels of MetHb, the SpO2 may tend to read in the low to mid 80s. When elevated levels of MetHb are suspected, laboratory analysis
(CO-Oximetry) of a blood sample should be performed. Haemoglobin synthesis disorders may cause erroneous SpHb readings. Elevated levels of Total Bilirubin may lead to inaccurate SpO2, SpMet, SpCO, SpHb, and SpOC measurements. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 86 6.3 Pulse oximetry WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING Motion artefact may lead to inaccurate SpMet, SpCO, SpHb, and SpOC measurements. Severe anaemia may cause erroneous SpO2 readings. Very low arterial Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) levels may cause inaccurate SpCO and SpMet measurements. With very low perfusion at the monitored site, the readings may read lower than core arterial oxygen saturation. Do not use tape to secure the sensor to the site; this can restrict blood flow and cause inaccurate readings. Use of additional tape can cause skin damage or damage the sensor. If the sensor is wrapped to tightly or supplemental tape is used, venous congestion/pulsations may occur causing erroneous readings. Venous congestion may cause under reading of actual arterial oxygen saturation. Therefore, assure proper venous outflow from monitored site. Sensor should not be below heart level (e.g. sensor on hand of a patient in a bed with arm dangling to the floor). Venous pulsations may cause erroneous low readings (e.g. tricuspid valve regurgitation). WARNING Loss of pulse signal can occur when:
The sensor is too tight. The patient has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anaemia, or hypothermia. There is arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor. The patient is in cardiac arrest or is in shock. WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING The pulsations from intra-aortic balloon support can be additive to the pulse rate on the oximeter pulse rate display. Verify patient's pulse rate against the ECG heart rate. Misapplied sensors or sensors that become partially dislodged may cause either over or under reading of actual arterial oxygen saturation. Avoid placing the sensor on any extremity with an arterial catheter or blood pressure cuff. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 87 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION Before use, carefully read the sensor's Directions for Use. To avoid cross contamination only use Masimo single use sensors on the same patient. Unless otherwise specified, do not sterilize sensors or patient cables by irradiation, steam, autoclave or ethylene oxide. See the cleaning instructions in the directions for use for the Masimo re-useable sensors. Unplug the sensor from the monitor before cleaning or disinfecting to prevent damaging sensor or monitor, and to prevent user safety hazards. Users are reminded that because pulse oximeter measurements are statistically distributed, only about two-thirds of measurements can be expected to fall within Arms of the value measured by a co-oximeter. Information on the clinical desaturation trials performed to validate the oximeter is available on request. Use only Masimo oximetry sensors for SpO2 measurements. Other oxygen transducers
(sensors) may cause improper results. Do not use the Pulse CO-Oximeter or oximetry sensors during magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) scanning. Induced current could potentially cause burns. The Pulse CO-Oximeter may affect the MRI image, and the MRI unit may affect the accuracy of the oximetry measurements. CAUTION Exercise caution when applying a sensor to a site with compromised skin integrity. Applying tape or pressure to such a site may reduce circulation and/or cause further skin deterioration. CAUTION Note Note Note Note Circulation distal to the sensor site should be checked routinely. SpO2 averaging is the number of pulse beats over which the SpO2 value is averaged; pulse averaging is the number of seconds over which the pulse value is averaged. DESAT trails were performed in the normal sensitivity mode. The plethysmogram is not normalised. The pulse oximeter probe is for use with intact skin only. The probe used is not sterile and contains no latex. Patient contact materials have undergone extensive biocompatibility testing; further information is available on request. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 88 6.3 Pulse oximetry Note Note Note Note Note Note Note Note Note Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as use of a blood pressure cuff (other than the Tempus Pro cuff used in accordance with the instructions herein) may cause an inability to determine accurate pulse and SpO2 readings. SpO2 measurements may be adversely affected in the presence of high ambient light levels
(e.g. strong sunlight). This may be more noticeable with disposable probes. If necessary, shield the sensor area (e.g. with a towel) or a Masimo light shield. Remove fingernail polish or false fingernails before applying SpO2 sensors. Fingernail polish or false fingernails may cause inaccurate SpO2 readings. Performance and safety test data are available on request from RDT, see RDT contact details. The graphical displays of pulse rate, SpO2 and pulse strength are not proportional to the pulse volume. The amplitude of the waveform is adjusted on an on-going basis to provide the largest size waveform possible. Do not attempt to normalise the waveform to any scale. The SpO22 sensor should be on the opposite arm to the blood pressure cuff. The arm of the patient must be kept still and either be horizontal to the shoulder (if the patient is lying down) or below the shoulder (if the patient is sitting upright). If the finger selected does not give good results, this could be due to poor perfusion of blood. Ensure that the finger is inserted all way into the clip, or try taking a reading on another finger. If the accuracy of any measurement does not seem reasonable, first check the patients vital signs by alternate means and the check the MS board pulse oximeter for proper functioning. NO IMPLIED LICENSE - Possession or purchase of this device does not convey any express or implied license to use the device with unauthorized sensors or cables that would, alone or in combination with this device, fall within the scope of one or more of the patents relating to this device. Inaccurate measurements may be caused by:
Significant levels of dysfunctional haemoglobins. (e.g., carboxyhaemoglobin or Incorrect sensor application or use methaemoglobin) Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue. Exposure to excessive illumination, such as surgical lamps (especially ones with a xenon light source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, or direct sunlight (exposure to excessive illumination can be corrected by covering the sensor with a dark or opaque material) Excessive patient movement. Venous pulsations. Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 89 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings Note Loss of pulse signal can occur in any of the following situation:
The sensor is too tight. There is excessive illumination from light sources such as a surgical lamp, a bilirubin lamp, or sunlight. A blood pressure cuff is inflated on the same extremity as the one with a SPO2 sensor attached. The patient has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anaemia, or hypothermia. There is arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor. The patient is in cardiac arrest or is in shock. Note High levels of COHb may occur with a seemingly normal SpO2. When elevated levels of COHb are suspected, laboratory analysis (CO-Oximetry) of a blood sample should be performed. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 90 6.3 Pulse oximetry The following warnings, cautions and notes are reproduced verbatim from Masimo document R-CSD-1117
(revision P):
GENERAL The pulse co-oximeter is to be operated by, or under the supervision of, qualified personnel only. The manual, accessories, directions for use, all precautionary information, and specifications should be read before use. WARNING As with all medical equipment, carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation. Do not place the pulse co-oximeter or accessories in any position that might cause it to fall on the patient. Do not start or operate the pulse co-oximeter unless the setup was verified to be correct. Do not use the pulse co-oximeter during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or in an MRI environment. Do not use the pulse co-oximeter if it appears or is suspected to be damaged.

Improper sensor application and placement o o Elevated levels of COHb or MetHb: High levels of COHb or MetHb may occur with a seemingly normal SpO2. When elevated levels of COHb or MetHb are suspected, laboratory analysis (CO-Oximetry) of a blood sample should be performed. o Elevated levels of bilirubin o Elevated levels of dyshemoglobin o Vasospastic disease, such as Raynauds, and peripheral vascular disease o Hemoglobinopathies and synthesis disorders such as thalassemias, Hb s, Hb c, sickle cell, etc. o Hypocapnic or hypercapnic conditions o Severe anemia o Very low arterial perfusion o Extreme motion artifact o Abnormal venous pulsation or venous constriction o Severe vasoconstriction or hypothermia o Arterial catheters and intra-aortic balloon o o Externally applied coloring and texture, such as nail polish, acrylic nails, glitter, etc. o Birthmark(s), tattoos, skin discolorations, moisture on skin, deformed or abnormal Intravascular dyes, such as indocyanine green or methylene blue fingers. etc. o Skin color disorders Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 92 6.3 Pulse oximetry WARNING Interfering Substances: Dyes or any substance containing dyes that change usual blood pigmentation may cause erroneous readings. The pulse co-oximeter should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis or therapy decisions. It must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms. The pulse co-oximeter is not an apnoea monitor. The pulse co-oximeter may be used during defibrillation, but this may affect the accuracy or availability of the parameters and measurements. The pulse co-oximeter may be used during electrocautery, but this may affect the accuracy or availability of the parameters and measurements. The pulse co-oximeter should not be used for arrhythmia analysis. SpCO readings may not be provided if there are low arterial saturation levels or elevated methemoglobin levels. SpO2, SpCO, SpMet, and SpHb are empirically calibrated in healthy adult volunteers with normal levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and methemoglobin (MetHb). Do not adjust, repair, open, disassemble, or modify the pulse co-oximeter or accessories. Injury to personnel or equipment damage could occur. Return the pulse co-oximeter for servicing if necessary. CAUTION Do not place the pulse co-oximeter where the controls can be changed by the patient. Electrical shock and flammability hazard: Before cleaning, always turn off the device and disconnect from any power source. When patients are undergoing photodynamic therapy they may be sensitive to light sources. Pulse oximetry may be used only under careful clinical supervision for short time periods to minimize interference with photodynamic therapy. Do not place the pulse co-oximeter on electrical equipment that may affect the device, preventing it from working properly. If SpO2 values indicate hypoxaemia, a laboratory blood sample should be taken to confirm the patients condition. If the Low Perfusion message is frequently displayed, find a better perfused monitoring site. In the interim, assess the patient and, if indicated, verify oxygenation status through other means. Change the application site or replace the sensor and/or patient cable when a Replace sensor and/or Replace patient cable, or a persistent poor signal quality message (such as Low SIQ) is displayed on the host monitor. These messages may indicate that patient monitoring time is exhausted on the patient cable or sensor. If using pulse oximetry during full body irradiation, keep the sensor out of the radiation field. If the sensor is exposed to the radiation, the reading might be inaccurate or the device might read zero for the duration of the active irradiation period. The device must be configured to match your local power line frequency to allow for the cancelation of noise introduced by fluorescent lights and other sources. To ensure that alarm limits are appropriate for the patient being monitored, check the limits each time the pulse co-oximeter is used. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 93 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings CAUTION Variation in haemoglobin measurements may be profound and may be affected by sampling technique as well as the patient's physiological conditions. Any results exhibiting inconsistency with the patients clinical status should be repeated and/or supplemented with additional test data. Blood samples should be analysed by laboratory devices prior to clinical decision making to completely understand the patients condition. Do not submerge the pulse co-oximeter in any cleaning solution or attempt to sterilize by autoclave, irradiation, steam, gas, ethylene oxide or any other method. This will seriously damage the pulse co-oximeter. Electrical Shock Hazard: Carry out periodic tests to verify that leakage currents of patient-applied circuits and the system are within acceptable limits as specified by the applicable safety standards. The summation of leakage currents must be checked and in compliance with IEC 60601-1 and UL60601-1. The system leakage current must be checked when connecting external equipment to the system. When an event such as a component drop of approximately 1 meter or greater or a spillage of blood or other liquids occurs, retest before further use. Injury to personnel could occur. Disposal of product - Comply with local laws in the disposal of the device and/or its accessories. To minimize radio interference, other electrical equipment that emits radio frequency transmissions should not be in close proximity to the pulse co-oximeter. Replace the cable or sensor when a replace sensor or when a low SIQ message is consistently displayed while monitoring consecutive patients after completing troubleshooting steps listed in this manual. Note A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of the pulse co-oximeter. High-intensity extreme lights (such as pulsating strobe lights) directed on the sensor, may not allow the pulse co-oximeter to obtain vital sign readings. When using the Maximum Sensitivity setting, performance of the "Sensor Off"
detection may be compromised. If the device is in this setting and the sensor becomes dislodged from the patient, the potential for false readings may occur due to environmental "noise" such as light, vibration, and excessive air movement. Do not loop the patient cabling into a tight coil or wrap around the device, as this can damage the patient cabling. Additional information specific to the Masimo sensors compatible with the pulse oximeter, including information about parameter/measurement performance during motion and low perfusion, may be found in the sensor's directions for use (DFU). Cables and sensors are provided with X-Cal technology to minimize the risk of inaccurate readings and unanticipated loss of patient monitoring. Refer to the Cable or Sensor DFU for the specified duration of the patient monitoring time. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 94 6.3.1 Getting started To use the pulse oximeter, remove the soft finger probe from the back of the device. Attach it to a well-
perfused finger of the patient taking care to ensure it is not the same arm which has a blood pressure cuff attached. The readings will begin a few seconds after the probe is attached to the patient. 6.3 Pulse oximetry The plethysmogram is shown continuously The Pulse Oximetry Section of the Home Screen The SpO2 reading is provided shown here The signal strength and perfusion index of the site are shown here The SpO2 section gives the oxygen saturation of the blood and shows the plethysmogram, signal strength
(in bar graph form) and the perfusion index. The Signal Quality bar graph shows how well the pulse sensor is detecting the pulse. The amplitude of the indication indicates the quality of detection. If the indication on the Signal Strength meter is low, or becomes low, then the finger sensor should be repositioned. Similarly, the Perfusion Index gives a numerical indication of the level of arterial pulsatile blood at the sensor site. The Pulse Rate displayed on the Tempus Pulse Oximeter may differ slightly from the heart rate displayed on ECG monitors due to differences in averaging times. There may also be a discrepancy between cardiac electrical activity and peripheral arterial pulsation. Significant differences may indicate a problem with the signal quality due to physiological changes in the patient or one of the instruments or application of the sensor or patient cable. The pulsations from intra-aortic balloon support can cause the pulse rate displayed on the Tempus to be significantly different than the ECG heart rate. The perfusion index (PI) indicator provides a relative numeric indication of the pulse strength at the monitoring site. It is a calculated percentage between the pulsatile signal and non-pulsatile signal of arterial blood moving through the site. PI may be used to find the best perfused site and to monitor physiological changes in the patient. It displays an operating range of 0.02 % to 20.00 %. A percentage greater than 1.00
% is desired. Extreme changes in the display number are due to motion artefact and changes in physiology and blood flow. The device indicates perfusion on a 7-bar LED indicator. The lower two segments of the bar will turn red when the amplitude of the arterial pulsations is very low (low perfusion). It has been suggested that at extremely low perfusion levels, pulse oximeters can measure peripheral saturation, which may differ from central arterial saturation. This localized hypoxemia may result from the metabolic demands of other tissues extracting oxygen proximal to the monitoring site under conditions of sustained peripheral hypoperfusion. (This may occur even with a pulse rate that correlates with the ECG heart rate.) CAUTION If the low perfusion indication is frequently displayed, find a better-perfused monitoring site. In the interim assess the patient and if indicated verify oxygenation status through other means. 6.3.2 Pleth variability index Pleth Variability Index or PVI helps users to discern between patients who may respond to fluid from those who may not. PVI has been shown to help clinician to predict fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients under general anaesthesia, defined as a significant increase in cardiac output after fluid administration. PVI is an automatic measure of the dynamic change in Perfusion Index (PI) that occurs during the respiratory cycle. PVI = ((PImax-PImin)/PImax) x 100. The greater the PVI, the more likely the patient will respond to fluid administration. Typically, a PVI of >14%
prior to volume expansion is predictive that a mechanically ventilated patient will respond to fluid Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 95 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings administration (81% sensitivity). A PVI prior to volume expansion is predictive that a mechanically ventilated patient will not respond to fluid administration (100% specificity). PVI is an option for Tempus Pro. The Pulse Oximetry Section with PVI The PVI value is shown here 6.3.3 Taking readings Note Depending on which of the features have been purchased, some of the features shown below may not be available on your Tempus Pro device. 1. Remove the patient cable from the RapidPak area of the Tempus. 2. Connect the SpO2 cable to the Tempus Pro. 3. Attach the chosen sensor to the patient cable:
SpO2 sensor - SpO2, PI and PVI SpCO sensor - SpCO, SpMet, Sp02, PI and PVI SpHb sensor - SpHb, SpMet, SpOC, Sp02, PI and PVI Attach it to a well-perfused finger of the patient taking care to ensure it is not the same arm which has a blood pressure cuff attached. The measurement will begin as soon as the probe is attached to the patient but different values take different lengths of time to appear on the screen.

Masimo SET measurements supplied as standard:
SpO2 - Intended for non-invasive measurement of arterial blood saturation and also provides pulse rate when ECG is not attached. Pulse Rate (PR). Perfusion Index (PI) - Gives a numerical indication of the level of arterial pulsatile blood at the sensor site. Masimo SET Rainbow measurements purchased as optional upgrades:
SpCO - Allows clinicians to noninvasively and immediately detect elevated levels of carbon monoxide. SpMet - Allows clinicians to noninvasively and immediately detect elevated levels of methaemoglobin in the blood. SpHb Index - Gives continuous monitoring of the haemoglobin levels in blood. SpOC - Gives the patients oxygenation status by calculating the haemoglobin and oxygen saturation. PVI purchased as an optional upgrade:
Pleth Variability Index (PVI) - Helps clinicians noninvasively and continuously assess fluid status of patients. The Signal Quality waveform (underneath the plethysmogram) shows how well the pulse sensor is detecting the pulse. The height of the peak indicates the strength of the signal, if the peaks are short the finger sensor should be repositioned. The Pulse Rate displayed on the Tempus Pulse Oximeter may differ slightly from the heart rate displayed on ECG monitors due to differences in averaging times. There may also be a discrepancy between cardiac electrical activity and peripheral arterial pulsation. Significant differences may indicate a problem with the signal quality due to physiological changes in the patient or one of the instruments or application of the sensor or patient cable. The pulsations from intra-aortic balloon support can cause the pulse rate displayed on the Tempus to be significantly different than the ECG heart rate. The device indicates perfusion. It has been suggested that at extremely low perfusion levels, pulse oximeters can measure peripheral saturation, which may differ from central arterial saturation. This localized hypoxemia may result from the metabolic demands of other tissues extracting oxygen proximal to the monitoring site under conditions of sustained peripheral hypoperfusion. (This may occur even with a pulse rate that correlates with the ECG heart rate). Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 97 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings CAUTION If the low perfusion indication is frequently displayed, find a better-perfused monitoring site. In the interim assess the patient and if indicated verify oxygenation status through other means. 6.3.5 Pulse oximetry probes The following pulse oximetry sensors may be used with the Tempus Pro: standard, SpCO or SpHb. Each sensor shows a different range of parameters. There is no single sensor that shows all parameters. The standard adult SpO2 reusable sensor reads SpO2, PI and PVI The SpCO sensor reads SpCO, SpMet, SpO2, PI and PVI The Standard adult SpO2 section The Pulse Oximetry section with SpCO The SpHb sensor reads SbHb, SpMet, SpOC, SpO2, PI and PVI The Pulse Oximetry section with SpHb Depending on which sensor is used the Tempus will display only the available parameters. Note Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 98 6.3 Pulse oximetry 6.3.6 Pulse oximeter settings Pressing anywhere in the plethysmogram area brings up the Pulse Oximeter Settings menu:
The SpCO, SpMet, SpHb and SpOC limits are only activated when their Masimo licenses have been installed and the appropriate probes are plugged in. Note PI and PVI alarms are only available in Tempus Pro devices with part numbers ending in
"-R". Menu option Menu screen SpO2, SpCO and SpMet limits (%) set the upper and lower alarm limits for SpO2, SpCO and SpMet. SpHb limits and settings open the SpHb Settings menu, see 6.3.7 SpHb settings. HR/PR source select ECG or Pulse oximeter as the heart/pulse rate source. Large pleth waveform turn the large pleth waveform display on and off. Sensitivity mode adjust sensitivity by pressing Max, Norm or APOD. Averaging time (s) use the up and down arrows to adjust averaging time in seconds. FastSAT turn FastSAT on or off. Cardiac wave speed (mm/s) change wave speed. This setting is common to ECG, Sp02 and IP. HR/PR beat volume - volume of the audible tone that the Tempus emits every time a heartbeat is detected. SpOC limits (ml/dl) set the upper and lower alarm limits for SpOC. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 99 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings Menu option Menu screen PI limits (%) set the upper and lower alarm limits for Perfusion Index. PVI limits (%) set the upper and lower alarm limits for Pleth Variability Index. Pulse tones Pulse tones can be turned on from either the Pulse Oximeter Settings menu or the ECG Settings menu using the settings:
HR/PR source = pulse HR/PR beat volume = 20% (or above) When pulse tones are turned on Tempus Pro emits a beep for each pulse beat detected. The beep tone
(frequency) depends on the value of pulse ox saturation (SpO2). Higher SpO2 values mean that each beat is emitted with a higher tone beep and vice-versa. So the tone drops as SpO2 (%) falls, with the lowest frequency tone at values of SpO2 = 80% or below. Alarm tones have priority over pulse tones. When pulse tones are enabled, user interface touch screen sounds are suppressed. Pulse tones are automatically enabled if the laryngoscope is used. Note Note Averaging time The pulse oximeter can be set to average its heart rate reading over different time periods. By default, this is 8 seconds. This can be adjusted to make the reading more or less responsive. The available settings are: (2-4 seconds, 4-6 seconds, 8 seconds, 10 seconds, 12 seconds, 14 seconds and 16 seconds). Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 100 6.3 Pulse oximetry Sensitivity mode The Pulse Oximeter is equipped with 3 different sensitivity modes. Each mode allows the clinician to change the sensitivity settings of the device to meet the increased demands of the patients physiological condition or enable it to work during periods of low perfusion and/or motion. They are as follows:
Normal Sensitivity (Norm) This is the recommended mode for patients that are experiencing some compromise in blood flow or perfusion. It is advisable for care areas where patients are observed frequently, such as an intensive care unit (ICU). Adaptive Probe Off Detection (APOD) This is the recommended start-up monitoring mode for most patients with acceptable perfusion or where a more robust sensor off detection is desired. It is the suggested mode for care areas where patients are not visually monitored continuously. This mode delivers enhanced protection against erroneous pulse rate and arterial oxygen saturation readings when a sensor becomes inadvertently detached from a patient. Maximum Sensitivity (Max) - This mode is recommended for patients with low perfusion or when the low perfusion or low signal quality message is displayed on the screen in APOD or normal sensitivity mode. This mode is not recommended for care areas where patients are not monitored visually, such as general wards. It is designed to interpret and display data at the measuring site when the signal may be weak due to decreased perfusion. When a sensor becomes detached from a patient, it will have compromised protection against erroneous pulse rate and arterial saturation readings. Also, after a power off and on cycle, the sensitivity will change from the MAX to the factory default or user configured default setting of APOD or NORM. Large pleth waveform Large pleth waveform changes the display to show a bigger waveform. This will remove the Rainbow measurement parameters from the waveform section of the home screen and move them to the tile on the right. The parameters will then rotate every 5 seconds. Large Pleth Waveform view Large Pleth Waveform section of the home screen Rotating Parameter section FastSAT FastSAT enables rapid tracking of arterial oxygen saturation changes. Arterial oxygen saturation data is averaged using pulse oximeter averaging algorithms to smooth the trend. When FastSAT is On the averaging algorithm evaluates all the saturation values providing an averaged saturation value that is a better representation of the patients current oxygenation status. With FastSat, the averaging time is dependent on the input signal. For the 2 and 4 second settings the averaging time may range from 2-4 and 4-6 seconds, respectively.

Sensor life remaining shows the remaining life of the pulse ox sensor. Sensor life remaining Sensor life remaining shows the life of the sensor. A tech alarm will sound to warn when the remaining life is low. If the patient is still being monitored when the sensor life reaches zero, it will continue to monitor the patient but must be changed once monitoring has finished. A further tech alarm will sound once monitoring of patient has finished. Note If monitoring is complete, remember to disconnect the sensor from the patient cable as this may impact the life expectancy of the sensor.

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING To ensure patient safety, do not place the monitor in any position that might cause it to fall on the patient. To ensure accurate performance and prevent device failure, do not expose the monitor to extreme moisture, such as rain. The monitor is a prescription device and is to be operated by qualified healthcare personnel. The Tempus Pro is not for apnoea detection. The Tempus Pro is not an apnoea monitor and does not provide apnoea alarming. If uncertain about the accuracy of any measurement, first check the patients vital signs by alternative means, and then make sure the monitor is functioning correctly. Carefully route the FilterLine to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation. Do not lift the monitor by the FilterLine, as it could disconnect from the monitor, causing the monitor to fall on the patient. The use of accessories, transducers, sensors and cables other than those specified may result in increased emission and/or decreased immunity of the equipment and/or system. CO2 readings and respiratory rate can be affected by sensor application errors, certain ambient environmental conditions, and certain patient conditions. The FilterLine may ignite in the presence of oxygen if exposed to high heat. When using a sampling line for intubated patients with a closed suction system, do not place the airway adapter between the suction catheter and endotracheal tube. This is to ensure that the airway adapter does not interfere with the functioning of the suction catheter. Do not cut or remove any part of the sample line. Cutting the sample line could lead to erroneous readings. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 103 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings WARNING If too much moisture enters the sampling line (i.e., from ambient humidity or breathing of unusually humid air), the message Clearing FilterLine will appear in the message area. If the sampling line cannot be cleared, the message FilterLine Blockage will appear in the message area. Replace the sampling line once the FilterLine Blockage message appears. WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING Loose or damaged connections may compromise ventilation or cause an inaccurate measurement of respiratory gases. Securely connect all components and check connections for leaks according to standard clinical procedures. Always ensure the integrity of the patient breathing circuit after insertion of the airway adapter by verifying a proper CO2 waveform (capnogram) on the monitor display. Do not lift the Tempus by the FilterLine as it could disconnect from the monitor causing the monitor to fall on the patient. Do not use the FilterLine H Set Infant/Neonatal during magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) scanning. Using the FilterLine H Set Infant/Neonatal during MRI scanning could harm the patient. CAUTION During MRI scanning, the module must be placed outside the MRI suite. When the module is used outside the MRI suite, EtCO2 monitoring can be implemented using the FilterLine XL. CAUTION Use of a CO2 sampling line with H in its name (indicating that it is for use in humidified environments) during MRI scanning may cause interference. The use of non H sampling lines is advised. CAUTION Microstream EtCO2 sampling lines are designed for single patient use, and are not to be reprocessed. Do not attempt to clean, disinfect, sterilize or flush any part of the sampling line as this can cause damage to the monitor. CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION Dispose of sampling lines according to standard operating procedures or local regulations for the disposal of contaminated medical waste. Before use, carefully read the Microstream ETCO2 sampling lines Directions for Use. In high-altitude environments, ETCO2 values may be lower than values observed at sea level, as described by Daltons law of partial pressures. When using the monitor in high-
altitude environments, it is advisable to consider adjusting ETCO2 alarm settings accordingly. CAUTION Use of monitoring during continuous nebulised medication delivery may result in damage to the Tempus Pro which is not covered by the warranty. Disconnect the Capnometer sample line from the Tempus Pro or switch off the Tempus Pro during medication delivery. CAUTION Do not use on patients that cannot tolerate the removal of 50 ml/min from their total minute ventilation. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 104 6.4 Capnography The following conditions can potentially cause a change in the flow rate:
Water, mucous or other patient contaminate has entered the sample tubing. The sample tubing is crimped or pinched so that the sample flow rate has decreased. Damage to the sample line. The sample line has been cut, or split, causing the flow rate to increase. The Capnometer will require warming up if it is started from cold. The warm up time is specified in section 14.1.4. Once the Capnometer is warmed up, the capnogram will appear on the display. In order to avoid moisture build-up and sampling line occlusion during nebulisation or suction for intubated patients, remove the sampling line luer connector from the Tempus. Note Note Note The Tempus uses the Oridion Microstream FilterLine and CapnoLine systems to monitor CO2. Before using the Capnometer, select the appropriate cannula taking into account the patient age and the use of ventilation/intubation.

The door will either be resting or will be pushed closed (in which case it will be latched). Lift the door by gently pressing on the latch end of the door and then levering the door up. The door is spring-loaded and will provide a gentle resistance to your finger. Letting go of the door will allow it to snap-shut. The door can be latched shut by applying gentle pressure to the latch end of the door to push it in you will feel a click as the door latches. CAUTION The Capnometer door must be shut at all times when a cannula is not fitted. This is important to prevent dust, fluids or foreign objects from entering the Capnometer. Ensure the door is only kept open for the minimum time necessary to plug and unplug a cannula into the Tempus. CAUTION If the door snaps shut this will only provide functional protection against dust/fluids etc. to the Capnometer. For IP66 sealing the door must be pushed closed to engage the doors latch. If the Capnometer door is open the device has an IPX1 rating. CAUTION If the door is broken it must be replaced as soon as possible. The door and spring assembly can be removed and replaced with spare items by an appropriate technician without the unit being returned to RDT. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 105 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings CAUTION Allowing dust, fluids or foreign objects to enter the Capnometer can cause permanent damage to the device. With the door open, attach a suitable patient airway adaptor (cannula) to the Capnometer socket of the Capnometer. An adult nasal cannula is typically supplied but a range of cannulas and other adaptors are available. Twist the cannula clockwise to insert and counter clockwise to remove. When inserting, ensure the cannula is fully inserted by twisting it until it is finger-tight. CAUTION CAUTION Always ensure the cannula is fully inserted and fully tightened. Failing to tighten the cannula may result in the sample being diluted and an artificially low reading being produced. Below the hole for the cannula inlet is a small hole for the Capnometer exhaust. Take care not to block this hole (an error will be caused if it becomes blocked) and ensure that dust, fluids or foreign objects do not enter it. Note that the Capnometer is not suitable for connection to a gas scavenging system. Attach the cannula or airway adaptor to the patient following the instructions printed onto the pack of the adaptor. The Capnometer will start as soon as the probe is attached to the patient. Applying a FilterLine set The FilterLine set is intended for the CO2 monitoring of intubated patients. Before attaching the airway adapter to the breathing circuit, verify that the adapter is clean, dry and undamaged. Replace if necessary. Place the airway adapter at the proximal end of the airway circuit between the elbow and the ventilator circuit wye. Do NOT place the airway adapter between the ET tube and the elbow as this may allow patient secretions to accumulate in the adapter. If pooling does occur, the airway adapter and sampling line must be replaced. Applying a Smart CapnoLine oral/nasal cannula The oral/nasal cannulas are intended for monitoring CO2 in non-intubated patients. Oral/nasal sampling cannulas are especially valuable for patients who are prone to mouth breathing, since most (if not all) of the CO2 is exhaled through the mouth. If a standard nasal CO2 sampling cannula is used on such patients, the ETCO2 values and capnogram displayed will be substantially lower than the actual CO2 levels present in the patients expired breath. Remove the cannula from the package. Verify that the cannula is clean, dry, and undamaged. Replace if necessary. 6.4.2 Taking readings Place the oral/nasal cannula onto the patient with two hands by first placing the prongs of the cannula into the patients nostrils, then extend the lengths of the cannula around both sides of the patients face routing the cannula tubing up to and then over both the patients ears. Proceed to loop the tubing around the back of the ears and bring the tubing under the ears and back towards where the patients chin and throat meet. Holding the tubes together with one hand under the chin, slide the collar around the cannula up so it secures both tubes of the cannula together firmly but comfortably under the patients chin CAUTION Dispose of Microstream ETCO2 consumables according to standard operating procedures or local regulations for the disposal of contaminated medical waste. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 106 The capnogram is shown continuously The Capnography Section of the Home Screen 6.4 Capnography The Respiration rate reading is shown here The ETCO2 reading is shown here Once the Capnometer is active it will run until the cannula is unplugged from the Tempus. Note that the wave speed of the capnogram is slower that the ECG and Pleth by default. Once the Capnometer is started it will display the message Warming up for approximately 30 seconds. ETCO2 readings will then display immediately and respiration readings will appear 2 breath cycles after the EtCO2 readings appear. If the Capnometer is sufficiently warm, it can take as little as 7 seconds to return an ETCO2 reading and 12 seconds to return a respiration rate reading (assuming a rate of >10 rpm). Once the Capnometer has started, check that the connections have been made properly by confirming the capnogram waveform appears correctly. Note If impedance respiration was in use, the waveform will automatically change to CAPNO and will display the end tidal CO2 as soon as the cannula is connected. As soon as the cannula is disconnected (and the consequent error is cleared) the device will resume monitoring using impedance respiration. After the Capnometer has started, it should draw a steady flow of breath gas down the cannula. If the cannula becomes blocked, the Capnometer will attempt to free the blockage by forcing low pressure air into the cannula. While this is occurring the waveform and readings will not be displayed and a message saying Capnometer filter line purging will be displayed in the waveform area. If the purging is successful then operation will resume automatically, if the blockage cannot be cleared (45 seconds approx.) then an error will be posted instructing to replace the cannula and the Capnometer will cease operation until the cannula is removed and replaced. 6.4.3 Capnometer settings Pressing anywhere in the capnogram area brings up the Capnometer settings menu:
Menu option Menu screen Respiration limits (rpm) set the upper and lower alarm limits for respiration. No breaths (sec) set the time that elapses after detection of no breaths until the alarm sounds. ETCO2 limits set the upper and lower alarm limits for ETCO2. ETCO2 units select mmHg or kPa. Wave range adjust respiration wave height and amplitude. Respiration wave speed (mm/s) set wave speed to 3.1, 6.25 or 12.5. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 107 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings Menu option Menu screen Operating mode to switch off the pump (for suction or lavage), select Pause 5 mins or Pause 10 mins.

Disposable and reusable 400 series sensors may be used. Do not use series 700 sensors with the Tempus. Application and use of metal-jacketed temperature sensors that come into contact with conductive objects or clinical personnel during electrocautery may cause burns at the patient-probe/electrode contact points. Always read and follow the instructions on the packaging of temperature sensors regarding their storage, use and disposal. In particular take into account any information regarding toxicity. The contact temperature probes must be attached to the parts of the body which their labelling shows they are indicated for. A single temperature channel (T1) is provided on the Tempus as standard. The second channel may be activated as an option using a software update. WARNING WARNING WARNING Note Note 6.5.1 Getting started To use the thermometer, plug a YSI series 400 temperature sensor into the Tempus socket marked T1. 6.5.2 Taking readings Attach the sensor to the patient following the instructions on the sensors packaging. The device will start to provide readings as soon as the sensor is connected (typically <10 seconds but up to 35 seconds according to IEC80601-2-56). Users should monitor the temperature to observe when the reading settles (settling time will be dependent on environmental and patient factors). Change the setting of the Tempus to C or F as required. Note Ensure the probe is suitably secured to the patient The difference between channels T1 and T2 is shown here The readings from channel T1 are shown here The reading from channel T2 are shown here Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 109 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings 6.5.3 Contact temperature settings Pressing anywhere on the contact temperature area brings up the contact temperature settings menu. Note The thermometer performs a self-check to 38.8 C 0.1 C constantly to ensure that its readings are accurate and within specification. If the Tempus Pro is configured to support only one temperature channel:
The values in the Temperature Settings screen apply regardless of whether the temperature sensor is connected to socket T1 or T2. The maintenance user can still configure default alarm limits for two channels (T1 and T2), but the T2 default alarm limits are ignored and the initial temperature limits in the Temperature Settings screen are equal to the T1 default alarm limits. The single channel Temperature Settings screen looks like this:
Menu option Menu screen Temperature units set the measurement units to C or F. Temp limits set the lower and upper temperature alarm limits. If the Tempus Pro is configured to support two channels of contact temperature:
There are separate configured alarm limits for the T1 and T2 channels. There is a configured alarm limit for the difference between T1 and T2 (Delta). Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 110 The two-channel Temperature Settings screen looks like this:

Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 111 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings 6.6 Invasive pressure WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING DO NOT use the Invasive Pressure monitor for any purpose other than specified in this manual. If electrocautery is used, always avoid using any transducer with a conductive (metal) case connected to its ground shield. Using a conductive transducer that is connected to its cable shield risks high-frequency burns at the ECG electrodes if the transducer case becomes grounded to earth. Normal alarm functions will detect complete disconnections of invasive pressure transducers and faulty cables / transducers. Use only approved transducers and ensure that they are connected properly. Invasive Pressure is a tool to be used in addition to patient assessment. Care should be taken to assess the patient at all times. Do not touch metal parts of the transducer while it is in contact with the patient. Do not reuse any components that are labelled for single use only. Although complete disconnections of invasive pressure transducers will be detected by the normal alarm functions, partial disconnection will not be detected, nor will the use of some incompatible transducers. The user must exercise reasonable measures to ensure that approved transducers are used and that pressure transducers are connected properly. WARNING If electrocautery is used, always avoid using any transducer with a conductive (metal) case that is electrically connected to its cable shield. Using a conductive transducer case with such a shield connection risks high-frequency burns at the ECG electrodes if the transducer case becomes earth grounded. WARNING WARNING WARNING CAUTION CAUTION Always read and follow the instructions on the packaging of transducers regarding their storage, use and disposal. In particular take into account any information regarding toxicity. Remember to follow instructions provided with the transducers relating to use in defibrillation. Remember to differentiate the different transducers that are connected to the Tempus. The adaptor cables are labelled P1 & P2. The Tempus provides features to additionally label these channels with their site description on the display. Do not attempt to clean, disinfect, sterilize or in any way re-use transducers, catheters or other patient connected tubing which are labelled as single use only. Dispose of all single use items according to standard operating procedures or local regulations for the disposal of contaminated medical waste. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 112 6.6 Invasive pressure The invasive pressure meter will require warming up if it is started from cold. The warm up time is specified in section 14.1.6 Invasive pressure. Once the Tempus is turned on and the invasive pressure parameter functional, the pressure waveform will appear on the display. Check all cables and connections before use. Request that an appropriate service technician check the function of the device (including operation of all audible and visual alarms) on a regular basis. Note Note The Tempus is compatible with a range of invasive pressure sensors see 12.1.2 Invasive pressure accessories Always use the correct adaptor cable for the desired transducer to connect it to the Tempus. The Tempus provides two channels of invasive pressure which can be extended to four channels via a USB IP Module. The Tempus Pro can then be used with one, two, three or four transducers. 6.6.1 Getting started To measure invasive pressure, open the transducer packaging and inspect the transducer cable. If the cable shows signs of damage or wear, then replace it. Attach the transducer to the patient following the instructions supplied with the devices packaging. Attach the appropriate adaptor cable for the transducers you wish to use to the Tempus (white socket). Then connect the transducers to the cable, taking care to note and understand which transducer is attached to channel P1 and which to channel P2. 6.6.2 Taking readings Then zero the transducers using the process described in section 6.6.5 Zeroing transducers. WARNING Always zero the transducer before using it. Then attach the transducer to the patient following the instructions on the transducers packaging. Note The invasive pressure feature can be used to monitor a single channel at a time. In this case, either channel P1 or P2 can be used. See the example shown below where channel P2 is being used in isolation. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 113 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings The channel label is shown here The pressure waveform is shown here The Systolic, Diastolic and Mean measurements are shown here Once a second channel of invasive pressure is in use, it will appear as shown below. The second channel will appear here Note that the pulse oximetry readings move to here Monitoring two channels of invasive pressure Note If a second channel of invasive pressure is used, this channel will replace the pulse oximeters results and plethysmogram in the results layout. The pulse oximeter results will move to the right into the previously unoccupied area. As soon as the either of the invasive pressure channels stop being used (when the transducer is disconnected from the adaptor cable and the alarm ceased), the pulse oximeter results and plethysmogram will return to their original location. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 114 6.6 Invasive pressure 6.6.3 Invasive pressure settings Pressing anywhere on the invasive pressure area brings up the invasive pressure settings menu. CAUTION The settings of each invasive pressure channel can be set differently. Press on the area of the relevant channel to access its settings. Changes in settings made to one channel are never automatically made to any other channel. Menu option Menu screen The title bar shows the channel being configured (P1 in this example). Channel configuration label and reconfigure the channel, see 6.6.4 Configuring the transducer / channel. Zero transducer zero the transducer, see 6.6.5 Zeroing transducers. Systolic limits, Mean limits and Diastolic limits set the lower and upper alarm limits. Cardiac wave speed (mm/s) change wave speed. This setting is common to ECG, Sp02 and IP. Various conditions can affect the performance and accuracy of the invasive pressure measurement. These include:
Clogging of the catheter. The placement of the catheter in the vasculature. Artefact such as catheter whip should be managed according to whatever clinical protocols are in place locally. The position of the transducer stopcock, catheter and flush port. The position of the transducer with respect to the patients haemostatic axis or the catheter tip. Patient movement. Saline line flushes which may temporarily interrupt accurate pressure measurement. Air bubbles in the catheter or in the transducer dome. CAUTION Flush the catheter regularly while taking invasive pressure measurements. Always view the waveform to endure that pressure measurements are based on a physiological waveform. 6.6.4 Configuring the transducer / channel Each channel can be configured according to its application. By default, both channels will appear in white, with results configured as S, M and D with a default scale (height) of the channel waveforms being 0-150 mmHg. Accessing the Channel Configuration menu allows the channel labels to be individually named, the results format to be re-configured and the channel height to be adjusted. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 115 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings The channel is labelled here Press here to select the label and type of the channel Press here to change the format of the measurement Press to change the scale (height) of the channels waveform this can be changed independently of the default setting The full description of the selected channel label will be shown here e.g. Arterial Blood Pressure Press here to save the changes made changes will not be made unless Save is pressed Configuring an Invasive Pressure Settings Menu CAUTION The settings of each invasive pressure channel can be set differently. Changes in settings made to one channel are never automatically made to any other channel. The menu allows the user to pick pre-set labels for the channel. These are grouped by colour and application with RED being for arterial labels, BLUE being for venous labels, PALE YELLOW for pulmonary arterial pressure and WHITE being for other application labels. Simply picking a label and then pressing Save will change the channel label and the colour of the waveform and results. It will also change the waveform height and the Reading format and alarm limits. If a label is changed from one type to another (e.g. from an arterial to a venous pressure), the reading format and waveform upper and lower limits will be set to defaults for the selected label. If a label is changed but stays within the same type (e.g. from ART to AO), any non-default reading format or waveform upper / lower limits will persist. The default settings are detailed below. For default alarm limits and alarm ranges, see 7.3 Patient alarms. Note Note Label Labelled channels will keep their labelling until either the patient is discharged, switched to previous patient or if the user manually changes the channel label. If an invasive pressure channel is labelled as Arterial and the critical alarm sounds pressing the alarm buttons will automatically set that channel to zero required.

The reading can be formatted to read Systolic, Mean and Diastolic readings in the following orders:
S/D (m) where Systolic and Diastolic are shown in larger font and the mean is shown in brackets in a smaller font.
(M) S/D where Mean is shown first in brackets and the Systolic and Diastolic are then shown in a similar font. M where only the Mean is shown. When this setting is chosen (M only), Systolic and Diastolic alarming will be disabled for that channel. The scale (height) of the channel waveform can be changed independently of the default settings. The scale can be formatted to read from -99 mmHg to 310 mmHg in pre-set levels. Note Users should review the default alarm and parameter settings and decide if these are compatible with the clinical protocols in place locally for attended and unattended monitoring of patients and make any procedural changes required in light of this review. 6.6.5 Zeroing transducers WARNING Always zero the transducer before using it. Note Note You can re-zero the transducer as often as required. If the transducer is disconnected from the cable, ensure a pause of at least 5 seconds is maintained before reconnecting the transducer (or before connecting a new transducer). Always zero a transducer after it has been it is connected to the Tempus (before use). The invasive pressure transducers must be zeroed to ensure they provide accurate measurements. If a transducer is changed or moved, it must be zeroed again. Follow the instructions on the transducers packaging while following the zeroing process detailed below. The transducer should be placed at the same height as the patients left atrium before and during the zeroing process. To zero, first close the transducer stopcock to the patient. Then open the transducers venting stopcock to atmosphere. Allow the transducer a few seconds to settle. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 117 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings 1. Ensure you are zeroing the correct channel 2. Press here to zero the transducer 3. A zeroing message will appear here this lasts a few seconds 4. Once the zero has been achieved, the text will update to confirm the time the zero was performed Zeroing the transducer Remember to zero the channel/transducer that you are using. Take care to differentiate between the two transducers and their settings. CAUTION If the process fails to measure a valid zero reading, check the transducer stop cock is open to atmospheric air and correctly connected to the Tempus. Then repeat the process. Replace the transducer if the error recurs.

If you disable one of the four invasive pressure channels, the display reverts to three channel format (see below). If you disable two of the four channels, the capnometer waveform and NIBP results will return to their original location. The invasive pressure channels will always be displayed in numerical order on the results page, even if you plug in channel three and four before one and two. You can change which 3 of the 4 channels are displayed as waveforms by selecting if a waveform is required or not for that channel in the channel settings. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 120 Three channel invasive pressure display If three channels of invasive pressure are used, the third invasive pressure channel replaces the capnometer waveform and the NIBP is displayed in short form:

Note Note Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 121 Chapter 6 Taking medical readings Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 122 7 Alarms The Tempus produces both patient (physiological) alarms and technical alarms. Patient alarms are user configurable but technical alarms are not. Patient alarm settings are reset to factory defaults when a new patient is admitted or if you switch back to monitor a previous patient. If you turn the Tempus off and on and select to continue monitoring, the alarm settings will be retained (if the off period is less than 30 seconds) and the Tempus will revert to currently used settings. Default alarm values will differ across different patient ages (adult, paediatric, and neonate) see 7.3 Patient alarms. Note that default alarms are configurable by the operating institution. WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING CAUTION Do not silence the audible alarm if patient safety may be compromised. Always respond immediately to a system alarm since the patient may not be monitored during certain alarm conditions. Before each use, verify that the alarm limits are appropriate for the patient being monitored. Check the audible alarm silence duration before temporarily silencing the audible alarms. In high-altitude environments, EtCO2 values may be lower than values observed at sea level, as described by Dalton's law of partial pressures. When using the monitor in high altitude environments, it is advisable to consider adjusting EtCO2 alarm settings accordingly. All alarms are non-latching i.e. the audible and visual alarm indicators will cease when the alarm condition ceases to exist. For example, if the heart rate goes from 80 to 105 and the alarm threshold has been set to 100, then both visual and audible alarms will be generated, when the heart rate drops below 100 the visual and audible alarms will cease automatically. Alarms are audible in a 360 direction from the Tempus, however users should note that alarm volume will be loudest when the user is positioned facing the Tempus. Moving to the side or rear of the Tempus will produce quieter alarm volumes. Alarm volumes are specified at 1m from the front of the device. The visual alarms are visible in a 360 direction around the Tempus. However, users should note that alarms will be most visible from the front of the device. While the alarms are visible from the sides (via light dispersed in the handle) and the rear, the visibility of the alarms is reduced in these positions. The normal operating position of the operator should take into account the ability to see and hear the alarm signals taking into account local light and noise levels. The alarm bar and the audible alarm will operate briefly soon after start up. Ensure both functions are operating before using the device. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 123 Chapter 7 Alarms WARNING If relying on the alarms, ensure that the display and alarm bar are viewable from the users operating position. Ensure the handle and rear alarm light remain clean and unobstructed. Ensure the alarm speaker remains unobstructed and alarm volume is set to a level appropriate to the level of background noise expected. WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING The alarm functions of the Tempus are intended to be used by the attendant user only. If the device is connected to a Response Centre this is for the purpose of sharing vital signs data in real time, between two users for the purpose of obtaining additional clinical support. The system is not a distributed alarm system (e.g. nurse monitoring station system) in the terms of IEC60601-1-8. The i2i system at the Response Centre is not equipped with alarm silencing or suspending controls. When connected to a PC running the i2i application at a Response Centre, streamed data, such as the waveforms displayed on the Tempus Pro, will be transmitted and displayed automatically on that PCs display. Users are advised that streamed data are transmitted using the UDP protocol. The UDP protocol includes error checking but does not retransmit data. Therefore, any data that is dropped, lost or delayed during the streaming process will not be retransmitted. In the event that packets of waveform data are lost, they will appear as gaps in the waveform that is displayed on the i2i interface. Medical data (vital signs data, photos, ECG recordings, patient details, TCCC cards etc.) are transmitted using TCP/IP, this includes error checking and retransmission so missing or dropped packets are therefore retransmitted. Too many of the same or similar pieces of equipment in an area, with different alarm pre-sets, may make it difficult for the operator to know how the alarm system will operate. Users should check to ensure that any alarm setting is appropriate prior to use. CAUTION Ensure alarm values are not changed to extreme levels simply to disable the alarms system. Ensure alarm levels are brought into a more sensitive state for severe or critical patients or for patients who will be left unattended. CAUTION The Tempus alarms are intended to alert attendant users. They are not intended to alert users who remove themselves from the patients vicinity. Users should consider the levels of background ambient noise and light if they will not be in close proximity to the patient. The alarms provided by the system do not replace user care. Note Note Users are reminded to ensure the alarm speaker is working every time they use the product. This can be verified by simply using the touchscreen if the speaker is working then audible feedback will be given for each press of the screen. The Tempus will not report any alarm for the first 10 seconds after a sensor is attached. This is to prevent false positive alarms being generated due to patient/user/sensor artefact that can be commonly caused while a parameters sensor is first fixed to the patient. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 124 7.2 Visual alarm characteristics 7.1 Audible alarm characteristics The Tempus provides audible alarm indications through a speaker mounted on the front of the device. WARNING If relying on the alarms, ensure that the display and alarm bar are viewable from the users operating position. Ensure the handle and rear alarm light remain clean and unobstructed. Ensure the alarm speaker remains unobstructed and alarm volume is set to a level appropriate to the level of background noise expected. CAUTION Do not attempt to clean beneath the grille with a sharp or rough implement; this can damage the water-proof sealing that is present beneath the grille and cause reduction or impairment of the ingress protection barrier. Audible alarms are separated into either patient (physiological) alarms or inop (technical) alarms. These alarm signals are specified as follows:
Nominal Characteristics Patient Alarm (Red) Patient Alarm (Yellow) Technical Alarm Pulse sequence 10 x 175 ms pulses 3 x 125 ms pulses at 440 Hz
(with 4 harmonics under 4 kHz) 2 x 250 ms pulses Repetition rate Every 10 seconds Every 5 seconds Every 15 seconds Duration of gap between pulse sequences 50 ms silence between pulses 1 and 2, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, 6 and 7, 7 and 8, 9 and 10. 170 ms silence between pulses 3 and 4, 8 and 9. 625 ms silence between pulses 5 and 6 250 ms silence between pulse sequences 250 ms silence between pulse sequences Volume (dBA at 1 m) 85 dBA (default) the volume may be reduced using the All Alarms menu Alarm Volume settings: Min, Low, Mid and High. 7.2 Visual alarm characteristics When alarms occur, the Tempus Pro indicates their presence in the following ways:
Alarm bar LEDs:
the yellow or red LEDs in the alarm bar will light these flash for patient alarms and light solid (yellow) for technical alarms Alarm status area:
summary description of the alarm is shown here Alarm limits bar:
the parameter that is alarming is highlighted with a solid yellow or red bar here (patient alarms only) Visual Alarm Manifestations Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 125 Chapter 7 Alarms 7.2.1 Alarm bar LEDs The alarm bar LEDs illuminate in one of the following ways:
Flashing yellow LED (for patient alarms);
Solid yellow (for technical alarm);
Flashing red (for specific high priority alarms). CAUTION The alarm bar can also be user-configured to show a solid green LED to indicate no active alarms (this feature is enabled and disabled in the Maintenance Menu, refer to the Tempus Pro Maintenance Manual for details). 7.2.2 Alarm status area For both patient and technical alarms, the Tempus shows the alarm symbol and a description of the alarm in the alarm status area at the top right of the display. CAUTION Note In strong daylight users should ensure that the alarm status area is visible. If multiple alarms occur, they will be displayed in rotation in the alarm status area. Press the alarm status area to view a list of all active alarms and to select technical alarms for clearing see 7.7 Viewing and clearing alarms. Active patient alarms look like this Alarm Status Area Patient Alarm Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 126 7.2 Visual alarm characteristics Active technical alarms look like this Alarm Status Area Technical Alarm When there is no alarm state, the alarm bar will display the time of the last patient alarm or No Alarms Active if there have not been any alarms. This shows that no alarms are active Alarm Status Area with no alarms active 7.2.3 Alarm limits bar For patient alarms only, on the Home screen, the Tempus highlights the alarm limits bar for the parameter that is alarming. It is highlighted in a solid (not flashing) yellow.

Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 139 Chapter 7 Alarms Simply press on the alarm that you wish to set and an editor will appear. This will allow you to edit both upper and lower limits of the alarm. The editor shows the range of the alarm settings. You change the alarm settings by simply typing in the desired value using the keypad or the up and down arrows. You can save the changes you have made or cancel them by pressing the relevant buttons at the bottom right. The alarm being edited is shown in the title Change the upper or lower limits by typing the desired value into the keypad or use the arrows Press here to cancel changes and go back or save changes and go back Editing Heart Rate Alarm Limits Note The alarm limit shown is the number that the Tempus will display before the alarm is activated i.e. in the example shown above the tempus will display when the heart rate is less than 50 (49 or less) or greater than 120 (121 or more). The Tempus will not alarm at 50-120 inclusive. Therefore, it is possible to have the lower and upper limits set to the same value. If any alarms are turned off, this will be shown on screen by the relevant parameter highlighted in blue. The ECG Alarm bar shows the symbol for alarms inactive and is highlighted in blue Alarms Suspended Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 140 7.6 Silencing or suspending alarms It should be noted that other system configuration changes e.g. ECG lead selection, QRS beat volume, gain or waveform speed changes, communications mode and communications settings, iAssist mode etc. are all settings which are stored by the Tempus. Therefore, any changes to the Tempus configuration other than alarm settings will remain set even after the Tempus has been switched off and on again (for periods less than 72 hours). 7.6 Silencing or suspending alarms The audible alarm can be silenced by pressing the Alarm Silence button on the front panel. For most patient alarms, the Alarm Silence button mutes the audible alarm for 2 minutes (factory default), after which the alarm will sound again if the alarm state is still present. During this time the visual indications of the alarm will remain (the alarm LED will remain lit and the on-screen indications will remain). The maximum (and default) alarm silence time is configurable via the maintenance menu. For instructions, see the Tempus Pro Maintenance Manual. The factory default is 2 minutes with an available range from 1 to 5 minutes. The alarm silence time may be adjusted by the user from the All Alarms menu. The adjustment is limited in the range 30 seconds up to the value of alarm silence time set via the maintenance menu. The alarm silence time will reset to the preset maintenance value when a new patient is admitted, or when switching patients. During the alarm silence period, if a new alarm occurs (patient or technical) the alarm will sound as normal. Note Note Note For certain patient alarms, pressing the Alarm Silence button ceases the alarm permanently until the condition is experienced again. This applies to the following alarms:
Capnometer No Breaths Detected;
NIBP patient alarms;
Catheter Disconnected. For technical alarms, the Alarm Silence button acknowledges and silences all active technical alarms and causes them to be displayed with this symbol:
Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 141 Chapter 7 Alarms This button prevents visual and audible alarms from occurring for a temporary period This button silences the alarm once it is in progress Alarm Suspend and Silence Buttons Alarms can also be silenced before they occur using the Alarm Suspend button to prevent alarms from occurring for two minutes due to intentional intervention with the patient e.g. removing or moving a patient sensor such as an ECG electrode or pulse oximeter probe.
. This enables users The Alarm Suspend button is positioned above the Alarm Silence button and has a different function. Pressing it will disable all audible and visual alarm indications for both technical and patient alarms for two minutes. During this time the yellow LED above the button will remain lit and the alarm bars on the display will indicate that alarms are paused and show a countdown for when they will be resumed. Note If a new technical alarm condition occurs during an alarms suspended period, once that period has expired there may be a delay of up to 15 seconds before the technical alarm audio is sounded. The Alarm Suspend state can be deactivated at any time during the countdown by pressing the button again. The alarm bar shows that alarms have been suspended Alarm Bar Showing Alarms are Suspended Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 142 7.7 Viewing and clearing alarms When a patient alarm is silenced the visual indication will remain on screen until the condition has passed i.e. the patients vital signs have returned to a level within the alarm thresholds. The non-invasive blood pressure is a periodic measurement. For this reason, an NIBP alarm is cleared by pressing the Alarm Silence or Alarm Suspend button. The alarm may then return when the next periodic reading is taken. 7.7 Viewing and clearing alarms A list of active patient and technical alarms can be viewed on a screen, from which technical alarms can be selected to display more information and to clear them. Note Patient alarms cannot be cleared in this way. To display the Alarm Status screen, press the touch screen in the alarm status area. The example screen shown below shows two patients and five technical alarms including three already silenced and acknowledged see 7.6 Silencing or suspending alarms. These are patient alarms Press on any technical alarm to display its description Alarms are shown on the Alarm Status screen in the following priority order:
Alarm Status Screen with multiple active alarms Patient alarms are shown before technical alarms. Technical alarms are shown on a first in-first out basis. Note The following technical alarm conditions take priority over patient alarms: Battery Empty
(lasts for 10 seconds or so before automatic shutdown occurs) and Ambient Temperature High or Low. Press any technical alarm in the Status Screen to display a dialog which describes the nature of the condition alarm state (as shown below). Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 143 Chapter 7 Alarms A title and detailed description will be shown in the centre of the dialog box. Press here to acknowledge the message and clear the alarm state Clearing a technical alarm To clear technical alarms, use one of the following methods:
Either: press the Clear this message button on the Alarm Description Dialog screen;
Or: correct the error that caused the alarm to be raised, for example refit a patient sensor that has been disconnected. 7.8 Tactical mode warning If the Tempus is set to Tactical (Silent) Mode, then all audible alarms will be ceased (visual alarm indications will remain) see 4.3.2 Tactical mode (optional). Setting Tactical Mode to ON will give the following warning:
Once Tactical Mode is set, this will be permanently displayed in the alarm status bar. Tactical Mode Warning Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 144 Once set, Tactical Mode can be turned off by switching the physical switch back to its original position see 4.3.2 Tactical mode (optional). 7.9 Testing alarms Do not leave a unit in tactical mode without careful observation for alarm conditions on the screen. WARNING 7.9 Testing alarms RDT recommends that visual and audible alarms are tested before use. The alarm bar will light and the audible alarm will sound on switch on (unless the tactical switch is enabled). If users do not perceive this test occurring, they should provoke a test to check that the visual and audible alarms are working before they begin to use the device. A simple way to do this would be to insert a finger into the pulse oximeter probe, wait for a reading to appear and then remove the finger. This will provoke a technical alarm which will test the alarm bar (will light solid yellow) and the alarm tone.

Outside limits symbol indicates that the adjacent measurement was outside the limits Outside Limits The outside limits symbol will only be shown for patient alarms. It will not be shown to reflect any technical alarms such as low battery, finger out of SpO2 sensor etc. It will not be shown for invasive pressure transducer removed but will be shown for Capnometer zero breaths detected. The symbol shows only that the value at the time was outside the alarm limit that was set at the time it will not change based on subsequent editing of the alarm threshold. It will not be shown for out of range measurements. It will not reflect if an audible alarm was present i.e. will not differentiate if an alarm is muted, alarms suspended etc. it will merely reflect that the measured parameter was outside of the alarm threshold set at the time. Note The trend table shows a single reading where multiple readings may have occurred e.g. 60 individual readings for heart rate that are taken in a minute are represented as a single reading; this is the first reading recorded in that period. If a single alarm on a given parameter occurs within the time period set, then this will be shown in preference to the first reading taken within the period. If multiple alarms occur in the same period on the same parameter, then the trend table will show the first to occur.

REMEMBER the TCCC card is a paper replacement system. Like a piece of paper, all information in the TCCC card can be edited or deleted up until the point the data is exported onto a USB stick see 9.1.3 Tempus to Tempus data handover. Switching to a previous patient will allow the user to re-access the previous TCCC card and edit it see 9.3.4 Switching to a previous patient. If the Tempus is connected to a response centre they will not be able to see the TCCC card being edited but will be able to see a fixed update of the TCCC card on their system every 2 minutes. The response centre user is not able to edit the TCCC card, only view it see 9.6.5 Interacting with the Response Centre. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 178 9.3.3 Admitting a new patient If the Discharge/admit patient button is pressed, the Tempus will bring up a new dialog which asks you to confirm if the patient is new or not and gives the options to enter the new patients name immediately or later. A warning is displayed if the current patient is still being monitored (see below). 9.3 Patient information Press here to admit a new patient but enter their details later Press here to admit a new patient and start entering their details immediately The current patients name
(if entered) is shown here Warning if user is attempting to admit a new patient whilst already monitoring Admitting a New Patient If a connection has not been established to a Response Centre, all data for that patient can be transmitted later so long as a new patient is not admitted. For details on communications with a Response Centre, see 9.6 Connecting to an alternate location. Once a new patient is admitted, the recorded data cannot be transmitted to the Response Centre. WARNING Ensure that the Tempus Pro is disconnected from the old patient before confirming that a new patient is being monitored. Failing to do so will mean that real-time vital signs data from the old patient will be entered with the record for the new patient. CAUTION If the Tempus is connected to a Response Centre, discharging the old patient and starting to monitor a new one will create a new patient record at the Response Centre also. Ensure the Response Centre user understands who is being monitored. CAUTION Note Admitting a new patient will reset all alarm settings to the factory defaults see 7 Alarms. Do not attempt to connect the Tempus Pro to other medical systems until such functionality is properly supported in software. It should be noted that if the patient is removed from all real-time sensors then the Tempus will lose its real-
time detection of the patients presence. This scenario could be caused by users needing to move the Tempus from one patient (cease monitoring that patient) as they intend to start monitoring a new patient. In the instance that all real-time patient signals are lost for more than 5 minutes, the Tempus will anticipate that the user could be moving from one patient to a different one. It will therefore automatically give the user the option of switching to a new patient without having to press the Patient button (as described earlier in this section). Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 179 Chapter 9 Other features of the Tempus Pro Pressing here to confirm that the Tempus has been put onto a new patient Press here to switch to a previously monitored patient Press here to confirm that the same patient as before is being monitored Patient Reset Options WARNING Ensure that you select the correct patient record. Records can be identified by patient name (last and first), ID number, or incident start time. If you are not sure if the record you wish to select is the correct one, then select new patient. Mixing different patients records could lead to confusion and misdiagnosis. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 180 9.3 Patient information 9.3.4 Switching to a previous patient The Tempus allows you to switch between the current patient and a patient that has been monitored on the same Tempus device within the previous 72 hours. The Tempus will also show patients admitted more than 72 hours ago, but only up to a total of 20. This feature may be used, for example, in multi-casualty situations. To switch between patients, simply press the Switch to a previous patient button and then select from any patient that is shown in the list. If no patients are shown, then there are no records to select from. Press on the patient that you wish to switch to Press here to confirm once you have selected the correct patient Selecting From Previous Patients WARNING Ensure that you select the correct patient record. Records can be identified by patient name (last and first), ID number, or incident start time. If you are not sure if the record you wish to select is the correct one, then select new patient. Mixing different patients records could lead to confusion and misdiagnosis. WARNING Ensure that the Tempus Pro is disconnected from the old patient before confirming that a new patient is being monitored. Failing to do so will mean that real-time vital signs data from the old patient will be entered with the record for the new patient. CAUTION If the Tempus is connected to a Response Centre, discharging the old patient and starting to monitor a new one will create a new patient record at the Response Centre also. Ensure the Response Centre user understands who is being monitored. CAUTION Admitting a new patient will reset all alarm settings to the factory defaults see 7 Alarms. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 181 Chapter 9 Other features of the Tempus Pro 9.3.5 Entering patient details Pressing the Patient Details button allows the patients name, ID and allergies to be entered. Press the buttons to select what details you wish to enter Predicted text options will appear here based on what is typed, press any option to select it Press here to accept the details you have entered. You can go back and edit or delete any data later Entering Patient Details The patients age (or age group) and sex can be entered at any time. If the age (in years) is entered by the user, the Tempus calculates the age group. If the patients age is not known or is less than 1 year, the user can select the patients age group. The Tempus uses the selected age group to update alarm limits. WARNING Patient age group is an important factor for determining the correct initial inflation pressure (and maximum inflation pressure) for non-invasive blood pressure measurements in children of 12 years and under and also for neonates (28 days old or less) see 6.2.3 NIBP settings. Failure to set the correct age group for these patients may result in them being subject to higher inflation pressures than is warranted. For new patients, the default settings are Adult/Male. Always check and enter the patients age or select the correct age group. CAUTION Note Patient age affects the settings used in some medical modules. Weight and height are included in the patient report but do not affect any monitoring settings in the Tempus Pro medical parameters.

Holding the Camera & Waveform Snapshot button for more than 2 seconds launches a camera screen. The camera screen can also be launched from the main menu camera button. This shows the viewfinder of the camera and provides buttons to take a still picture, turn on the backlight or transmit video. It is possible to capture and send still digital pictures using the camera built into the device. If the Tempus is connected to a Response Centre, then the image is sent immediately automatically. If it is not connected, the image is stored and can be uploaded later if a connection to the Response Centre is made. Digital pictures are shown live on the Tempus Pro screen so that you can see what the camera is seeing. When you are happy with the displayed image, you capture the picture and can then send it to the Response Centre. After pressing the Take a photo button the Tempus will display a 3 second countdown during which time the photo can be cancelled without being saved or transmitted. A backlight is provided to help light the subject. Real-time video can be transmitted if a data connection with sufficient bandwidth is connected to the Response Centre. Note Note Do not look directly at the backlight or shine in eyes unnecessarily. The camera is intended to allow photos of the patient to be taken (as part of the care record) or to be transmitted to enable the user at the Response Centre to see the patient (e.g. helping to decide the best care path and options will be aided by being able to see the patient). The Tempus Pro is NOT a teledermatology system or similar device. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 183 Chapter 9 Other features of the Tempus Pro If video is being transmitted this icon will be shown The real time vital signs readings are displayed here Data must be connected to transmit video Press these buttons to take a still photo, toggle the backlight on and off, and transmit video Camera & Video Options Menu Moving video is intended to give the Response Centre the ability to see the patient moving or to see around the patients environment. Users should remember that the resolution and quality of the received video stream will not be the same as they see on the screen of the Tempus Pro due to the effects of the video being compressed during transmission. This effect is lessened when the image being filmed is more stable or has less activity in it. Therefore, in order to ensure the received video is good quality, Users should try to move the camera slowly. If rapid movement of the camera is necessary then the received image is likely to have a temporarily lower level of resolution (will appear blocky) while the camera is being moved around, this effect will reduce once the camera movement is reduced. The overall image quality and resolution of the camera is greater for still pictures than moving video. If the Response Centre require an image with a reasonable level of detail
(such as a close-up image) then a still photo would probably be more suitable. Unlike still photos, moving video images are not stored on either the Tempus or at the Response Centre. They are real-time images only. Note Note Note 9.4.1 Annotation of digital pictures Images transmitted from the Tempus Pro can be altered using the software at the Response Centre. The altered image can then be sent back to the Tempus Pro to act as a support in the remote diagnostic procedure i.e. the physician can send pictures back that can be used to confirm exactly the issue being examined or discussed, thus avoiding the danger of misunderstanding verbal descriptions. Images can be amended using the following tools:
Addition of text Addition of circles Addition of lines and arrows Addition of free-form lines Selection of colours for added graphics Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 184 9.5 GPS location 9.5 GPS location The Tempus Pro has a built-in GPS receiver. You can access this feature from the Main Menu see 5.2.1 The main menu. The GPS may take up to 4 minutes to display a fix. If it is unable to obtain a fix (if the view of the sky is obstructed or if the unit is used indoors) then it will display an error. The most recent fix (with the time and date of the fix) is always displayed. If the signal from only a limited number of GPS positioning satellites can be received by the Tempus (e.g. because of partial blocking of the sky by objects, buildings etc.) then the fix may be less accurate. In this case the fix will be labelled Approximate fix and the reading may be +/-2.5 km. When the receiver is searching for a fix, it will report Locating When the position has been found it will be reported here Pressing here the Back button to return to the Home Screen The GPS receiver can be toggled on and off here GPS Menu Note Note The GPS operation will be limited if the Tempus Pro is not used outside with a clear view of the sky. The GPS is intended to provide the User and the Response Centre with the patients location. It should not be used as a guidance or navigation device. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 185 Chapter 9 Other features of the Tempus Pro 9.6 Connecting to an alternate location This section describes how to connect the Tempus Pro to an alternate location to share data, typically a telemedicine support centre or response centre. i2i ReachBak (optional) In addition to being used as a vital signs monitor, the Tempus Pro can also be used to transmit the patients vital signs, photos, moving video or position to an i2i Response Centre (if the i2i ReachBak feature is enabled). The user of the Tempus can also speak to the Response Centre with the Tempus. To do this you will need to:
Ensure the device is set to use an appropriate Communications Mode. The Tempus can connect to the same Response Centre through a number of different, pre-set configuration Modes e.g. using Ethernet, WiFi or GSM (cellular data) over a specific communications device. Normally the Tempus should be pre-configured to the correct mode but it may be necessary to change this from time to time see 9.6.4 Communications modes. Make the data connection from the Tempus Pro to the Response Centre. Fit the Headset comfortably in your ear. The Tempus Pro can be left running with the data link connected but with the voice link disconnected i.e. if the Response Centre physician wishes to continue monitoring the patient for a long duration but without keeping the voice link open with Tempus Pro User. In this case the voice link can be reconnected at any time by pressing the Connect button. Note Note Note Users are reminded that a valid cell phone network SIM card is required to be fitted to the Tempus in order to support cell phone connections. The characteristics of the communications network in use must be sufficient to enable the Tempus to communicate. Details of the Tempus communications specifications are provided in 14.4 Communications. Ensure that the network is sufficient to enable the devices communications to operate as described in this manual. Should the communications network not be sufficient to enable reliable communications, the Tempus will attempt to re-establish communications for a limited number of attempts and will then show an error message. This situation is not hazardous but will prevent communications from occurring. In this situation the connection to the network should be checked, the network operation should be verified and if necessary/possible the network re-
started before attempting communications with the Tempus again. If the network fails during transmission the user can expect to see intermittent data transfer (complete failure or intermittent performance of data, voice or video). Again this is not hazardous in nature but users should wait to see if the network performance improves and then consider taking the steps detailed above to fix the problem. CAUTION In accordance with IEC60601-1 clause 14.13, responsible organisations should be conscious of the potential risks to patients e.g. risk of electric shock through the use of un-
isolated electrical devices, the potential increase in summed leakage currents through the connection of devices etc. that could occur from connecting medical devices to communications networks. In addition, the impact of the use of the Tempus should be considered (e.g. bandwidth allocation). When making changes to the network (including adding or removing, updating or upgrading components), those responsible should take into account the bandwidth and other technical requirements (such as addressing and maintaining the appropriate ports in an open state) of the Tempus and ensure that these requirements are maintained. For details see 14.4 Communications. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 186 9.6 Connecting to an alternate location 9.6.1 Making the data connection Note The iAssist help processes on your Tempus Pro may differ from this example iAssist help process in the following sections. However, the process always follows the same key elements. Always ensure that you read the complete iAssist help process in order and do exactly what it requires Press the button on the touch screen to get instructions on how to setup and make the data connection. Note that these instructions will appear by default every time you turn the unit on. The title of the connection process is shown here, this is user configurable Press here to return to the modes menu Follow the graphical and text instructions to set the unit up. Note that the set up instructions of any communication devices you are connecting to must be followed also. Example Data Connection Process Once the data connection process has been completed, press the Dial Data button to start the data connection process. Note These instructions are provided in iAssist format see 9.7 iAssist processes. In the event that an alarm occurs, the Tempus will immediately revert back to the Home screen so that the alarm condition can be seen. Note The instructions shown above are examples, the on-screen instructions may differ depending on what Connection Mode the Tempus Pro is in. Users are reminded to read and follow the instructions on screen paying attention to both the written instructions and the graphics which show how to perform different elements of the task. If the Response Centre cannot be contacted, this could be due to errors in the way that the connection has been attempted. Help will be given in the form of an iAssist help process, follow the instructions given and wait for a few minutes before trying again. For Troubleshooting information, see 11.5 Troubleshooting. If the Tempus cannot connect to the Response Centre first time, it will automatically make a number of redial attempts (typically 3). The system will indicate the redial process by displaying a number over the Data Link status indicator. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 187 Chapter 9 Other features of the Tempus Pro 9.6.2 Fitting the headset and making the voice connection After starting the data connection, the Tempus will bring up instructions to make the voice connection. If a voice connection is not required press the Home button. The voice connection can be made using either the pre-attached Bluetooth headset or the wired headset (accessory). It is important to have attached the headset before dialling as the voice connection to the Response Centre can be made quickly. Remember that often the voice connection will be made over a satellite link so you may experience background noise or drop-outs. RDT recommends that you adopt a process of only one person speaking on the line at a time and then handing over to the other speaker by saying over or similar. The voice connection can be setup only if the data connection is established first. The voice connection can be disconnected (hung up) while the data connection remains established but a voice connection cannot be made without a data connection. The voice connection is essentially a VoIP call. This is routed directly to a laptop/PC. Additional third-party hardware can be purchased to route the VoIP call to a landline if this is required RDT should be contacted for technical support. The voice connection is typically the means for the Tempus user to alert the personnel receiving the data that there is data to be received. Other means (such as a radio) can be used to notify personnel of an incoming data connection. Follow the graphical and text instructions to set the unit up. Press here to start the voice connection Voice Connection Process Using a Wired Headset Adaptor Cable Press here to get instructions on using the wireless headset Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 188 9.6 Connecting to an alternate location Follow the graphical and text instructions to set the unit up. Press here to get instructions on using a wired headset Voice Connection Process Using the Wireless Headset The progress of the data connection being established is shown here in place of the patients name/age Press here to get further instructions on setting up the voice connection To use the Bluetooth headset, follow the on-screen instructions. When the headset is turned on, the Tempus will attempt to find it. During this time (20 seconds) a countdown will be displayed. Once the Tempus has located the headset it will confirm this on screen before resuming with the voice connection instructions. Once the voice connection process has been completed, press the Dial Voice button to start the voice connection process. Note When using VoIP, the voice connection may take 10-15 seconds to setup after the Dial Voice button has been pressed. Using the wireless headset The Tempus Pro uses the Presence or VMX200 Bluetooth headset provided by Sennheiser. Note that the headset will be supplied in a charged state and its charge level is automatically maintained so long as it is regularly docked on the charging pin on the back of the device. It should also be noted that the headset is a Sennheiser wireless device. It is supplied paired with the Tempus Pro. You cannot use different wireless headsets with the Tempus Pro and RDT recommends that you do not attempt to use the headset supplied with the Tempus Pro with any other wireless devices
(including other Tempus Pros or other communications devices such as mobile phones). Each headset is paired to only the Tempus Pro to which it is attached on delivery. While attaching the headset to other Tempus Pro units will not cause any damage, users should avoid this practise as it may cause confusion and ultimately prevent voice calls from being made when needed. If the headset is lost or is damaged, contact RDT for a replacement. RDT recommends that the Sennheiser instructions (that are provided with the Tempus) are read in addition to the instructions below. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 189 Chapter 9 Other features of the Tempus Pro Introduction The headset has 3 buttons:
Volume up Volume down Multi-function button Sennheiser Presence Sennheiser VMX200 Users should avoid using the headset speaker volume controls. The speaker volume can be controlled through the Tempus and is preset to maximum. Note Wearing the headset To put the headset on, follow the instructions given on screen. Simply put the headset into your ear (either ear). It is small and light and should not require the use of an ear hook but this can be fitted if required (see Sennheiser instruction manual provided with the Tempus). You should ensure the speaker is well seated in your ear so it feels stable. Controlling the wireless headset To use the headset:
Press the green dial button. Following the on-screen instructions, remove the headset from its dock. Following the on-screen instructions, press the Multi-function button once (for 1 second or less). The light on the headset will flash blue. The Tempus will go through a process to link to the headset via Bluetooth. Following the on-screen instructions put the headset into your ear. Following the on-screen instructions press the Connection button on the touchscreen. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 190 9.6 Connecting to an alternate location Note If you keep the talk button held down after the headset is on, you can put the headset into pairing mode. This is not desirable as it could potentially cause the headset to cease being paired with the Tempus Pro and thus prevent it from operating with the device. Pairing mode can be recognised by the indicator light slowly flashing red and then blue. If the headset is inadvertently put into pairing mode it should be placed back onto the docking pin on the Tempus to turn the headset off; the voice call should be disconnected and re-
initiated. You can check if your headset is on by pressing the talk button once. If the indicator light flashes blue, then this means the unit is on. You do not need to switch the headset off; this is achieved by docking the headset back onto the Tempus Pro. If you do wish to turn the headset off, press and hold the Multi-function button for 3 seconds until the LED flashes blue three times. Note Note If you turn the headset off during a call, you will not be able to receive the call again with the headset i.e. if you turn the headset back on you will not hear the call again. If the headset is turned off during a call, disconnect the call using the Tempus Pro and then re-initiate the connection again following the on-screen instructions. RDT recommends that users do not use the Multi-function button for any other purpose than turning the headset on (as described above). If you use the Multi-function button, then other functions and features (as described in the Sennheiser manual) of the headset can be engaged these may cause confusion. To adjust the volume during a call, press the vol+ button or vol- button on the headset as shown above. Note If you press and hold the vol- button for 1 second you will mute the headset. To release muting, quickly press the vol- button on the headset. RDT does not recommend that you use the muting function as this could cause confusion during a call. 9.6.3 Connection status indicators The connection status indicators show whether the Tempus Pro is connected to the Response Centre. There are separate indicators for the voice link and the data link. The following symbols indicate the state of the links:
Data connection started (icon will flash) Data connection to Data centre (gateway) completed (icon solid), data not picked up by Response Centre Data connection to Response Centre completed (icon solid and capital C on Connected). Voice connection in progress (icon flashing) or connected (icon solid) The words 'connected' and 'disconnected' refer to whether there is a call in progress, NOT whether the Tempus Pro phone wires are plugged in. Once the voice connection is in progress the User can hear its status through the headset e.g. ringing, connected etc. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 191 Chapter 9 Other features of the Tempus Pro WARNING When connected the patient name and age are not displayed. 9.6.4 Communications modes Tempus Pro can connect to the Response Centre using a number of wired and wireless communications interfaces e.g. Ethernet or WiFi. Note The Tempus can only be pre-set to connect to a single Response Centre. Configuring it to connect to new Response Centre requires the support of RDT. Connecting over wired interfaces such as Ethernet requires connecting the Tempus using a cable;
connecting over wireless interfaces such as WiFi require no physical connection to be made. To make it easy to switch between these types of connections, the Tempus Pro is pre-set to connect using different communication Modes. Each Mode is supported by a full set of graphical connection iAssist help processes that provide the User with instructions specific to connecting using that technology. The Tempus Pro shows what Mode it is in with a banner at the top of the Connection IAssist help process. The Tempus Pro will stay in this Mode until it has been set to another Mode (even if it has been turned off and on again). The title of the connection process is shown here, this is user configurable Press here to return to the modes menu Example Data Connection Process Follow the graphical and text instructions to set the unit up. Note that the set up instructions of any communication devices you are connecting to must be followed also. Press here to start the data connection process Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 192 9.6 Connecting to an alternate location Changing modes You can change the Communications Mode by pressing the Connect in other ways button. This will bring up the Communications Modes Menu. This can also be reached through the Communications Modes button in the Main Menu see 5.2.1 The main menu. The different Modes are labelled. Select them by pressing the required button Multiple Modes menus are displayed. The Tempus shows 10 Ethernet Modes and 5 WiFi modes. All are user configurable Example Modes Menu The Mode that the Tempus is set to use will be indicated with a lit bar. To change Mode, press the required Mode. The instructions for that Mode will be brought up on screen. The title of the new instructions will show what Mode the Tempus is now set to use. The Modes that are available on each Tempus Pro are dependent on the requirements of each User. Refer to the Modes Menu on your Tempus Pro for specific details of each Mode that is available. Remember that each Mode may have a different set of instructions for connecting, fault finding and repacking. Consequently, it is vital that you remember to read and follow what each iAssist help process says at all times. It is also important to remember that if one Mode cannot be used then another may be usable in its place. Once the mode is selected the Tempus will display the instructions for connecting in that mode. Changing headset settings The performance of the headset can be changed if required. The headset settings are accessed using the Headset Settings button on the Communications Settings menu see 5.2.2 Printer and Headset menu. Note The headset settings are pre-set for the best performance for use in environments with a range of ambient noise levels. Users should change the settings if they are struggling to hear or be heard. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 193 Chapter 9 Other features of the Tempus Pro 9.6.5 Interacting with the Response Centre The Response Centre Each Tempus Pro device is pre-configured to dial automatically to a specific Response Centre. The centre should be staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and should always be able to receive your connection. If a connection cannot be established, you should wait a short time and attempt to connect again. Note It is the Users responsibility to ensure their Response Centre is properly staffed and equipped. When interacting with the Response Centre staff, you should also realise that they may be operating in a different time zone to the one where the incident is taking place. However, the clocks (and displayed times) of the both the Tempus Pro and the i2i software are synchronised. Remote viewing and control WARNING The alarm functions of the Tempus are intended to be used by the attendant user only. If the device is connected to a Response Centre this is for the purpose of sharing vital signs data in real time, between two users for the purpose of obtaining additional clinical support. The system is not a distributed alarm system (e.g. nurse monitoring station system) in the terms of IEC60601-1-8. The i2i system at the Response Centre is not equipped with alarm silencing or suspending controls. The Response Centre operators will have exactly the same information on their screens as displayed on the Tempus Pro. Should the Tempus Pro display change e.g. if a new help screen is brought up, new data is displayed or an error message appears, the Response Centre system will display exactly the same information a few seconds later. The only exceptions to this are when you are taking a digital picture or when you are monitoring or recording a 12 Lead ECG, in these situations the Response Centre only see that you are in the process of recording the ECG or taking the photo but they dont see the ECG or photo until it has been downloaded. WARNING Users are reminded that the i2i system at the Response Centre is not equipped with alarm silencing or suspending controls. The i2i user is able to see the alarm condition through the on-screen visual alarm manifestations but they are not provided with audible alarms (it is not a distributed alarm system) and they are not equipped with means to silence or suspend the alarms. Managing the alarm state of the product is the responsibility of the Tempus User. Note Note While the i2i will display the same information as the Tempus, user should note that the actual display size and aspect ratio of waveforms will vary slightly depending on the native resolution of the display that the i2i user has i.e. the i2i users display may have differently sized and shaped pixels to the display of the Tempus and so very minor differences may be present between the two displays. If the waveform or video stop appearing on the i2i application stop the connection and reconnect the Tempus. If the Response Centre needs to operate the Tempus Pro remotely, they should make you aware that they are activating a function of the device before they do so. Ideally the Response Centre will only take control of the Tempus Pro if the operator is having difficulty with an operation. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 194 9.7 iAssist processes 9.6.6 Recording data off-line and transmitting on-line If a connection has not been established to a Response Centre, all data for that patient can be transmitted later so long as a new patient is not admitted. Once a new patient is admitted, the recorded data cannot be transmitted to the Response Centre. For details on discharging the patient, see 9.3.3 Admitting a new patient. 9.7 iAssist processes Note The iAssist help processes on your Tempus Pro may differ from this example iAssist help process in the following sections. However, the process always follows the same key elements. Always ensure that you read the complete iAssist help process in order and do exactly what it requires. The Tempus can provide additional on-screen instructions on how to use the device. This feature is called iAssist Mode. iAssist Mode is intended to be set by more experienced users in order that they can pass the Tempus to less experienced colleagues knowing that their operation of the device will be supported by on-
screen instructions. If iAssist is activated on the Main Menu, the second ECG Lead waveform will be removed and the Plethysmogram and Capnogram will be moved up to make room for a row of graphical buttons in the bottom-most waveform of the Tempus Home Screen see 5.2.1 The main menu. The first button is the ECG button Each button is a graphical cue to allow the less experienced user to get on-screen instructions on how to deploy that particular parameter. Home Screen in iAssist Mode ECG pressing this brings up instructions on how to use the ECG Blood pressure pressing this brings up instructions on how to take non-invasive blood pressure measurements Pulse oximeter pressing this brings up instructions on how to take blood oxygen measurements Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 195 Chapter 9 Other features of the Tempus Pro Capnometer pressing this brings up instructions on how to take Capnometry measurements Temperature pressing this brings up instructions on how to take temperature measurements When in iAssist Mode, the Tempus Pro provides the user with complete instructions on how to use it. Every step is detailed in pictures with accompanying text instructions. There are instruction processes for everything the user will need to do to use the parameter. The example iAssist process shown below shows there are two distinct areas on the screen that give different types of information. Process Instructions - This area contains the graphical pictures and text instructions that show you how to use the device. This takes the user through each activity one or two steps at a time. Touch Screen Buttons - In this example there are two buttons at the bottom of the touchscreen. In all cases the user will press the button on the bottom right of the screen to progress onto the next step in the process. The strip shows that the number of steps in the process and the steps that are being displayed You can go back to the previous step instructions here Follow the on-
screen written and graphical instructions Press here when the instructions have been completed Example iAssist Process When in iAssist Mode, the Tempus Pro breaks all processes down into small steps. These steps are shown on the screen in one or two at a time. The user can see how many steps there are in any process by looking at the Process Ribbon near the top of the screen. In the example shown above, the screen shows that the process has 8 steps and that the device is showing steps 6-7. The user follows the instructions given on the screen, ensuring that they review both the image and the text. Once they have completed both steps they proceed onto the next steps by pressing the Next touchscreen button.

Refit the battery. 10.3 Disposal at end of life The WEEE logo on the Tempus and its battery refers to the EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). This Directive entered into force as European law on 13th February 2003; it resulted in a major change in the treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life. The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE, and in addition, to promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce the disposal of waste. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 209 Chapter 10 After using the Tempus Pro The symbol indicates that this product must not be disposed of or dumped with household waste. The owner of the equipment is liable to dispose of all electronic or electrical waste equipment by delivering to the specified collection point for recycling of such hazardous waste, collection and proper recovery of electronic and electrical waste equipment at the time of disposal will allow the producer to help conserve natural resources. Recycling of the electronic and electrical waste equipment will ensure safety of human health and the environment. For more information about electronic and electrical waste equipment disposal, recovery and collection points, please contact your local, waste disposal service or producer / distributor of this equipment. Note Tempus batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Batteries should not be crushed or incinerated as they could present a risk of fire or explosion. Batteries should be handed to an appropriate organisation that is competent in the disposal of such devices; this must be done in accordance with local regulations. 10.3.1 Disposal of single use devices Any accessories that are designated as single-use devices must be discarded after use. No particular precautions are required when disposing of these items provided that they are not contaminated with bodily fluids. In case of such contamination, the items could present a bio-hazard and therefore should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations governing such matters. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 210 11 Maintenance, servicing and troubleshooting The Tempus Pro is designed to be as maintenance-free as possible. The only user-replaceable and user-
serviceable parts in the Tempus Pro are those listed in this section of the manual. More details on maintenance are given in the Tempus Pro Maintenance Manual, which is available from RDT, see RDT contact details. The Tempus Pro Maintenance Manual contains the necessary technical information, schematics, parts designation and process description for specified maintenance and testing to be performed. WARNING Do not open the battery case or in any way disassemble, modify or repair the battery. CAUTION All leads, cables and accessories should be checked before and after use to ensure that such parts are not subject to wear, fraying, tears, knots or other signs of damage. Damaged or worn parts should be replaced. CAUTION The ECG cables contain components to protect against the effect of a defibrillator. The ECG cables should be measured on an annual basis (or more frequently at the users discretion if they are subject to a high number of defibrillation discharges) to ensure that they retain a resistance of 1 k 10% as per AAMI EC53. Cables should be replaced if this resistance is not maintained. Note If the Tempus Pro is no longer serviceable and is beyond repair, it may be scrapped. Scrapping the device and its accessories must be performed in compliance with applicable local regulations. It should be noted that special conditions may apply to the rechargeable battery if it is required to be scrapped. The battery should be discharged before scrapping and should not be crushed or incinerated. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 211 Chapter 11 Maintenance, servicing and troubleshooting 11.1 Tempus Pro battery 11.1.1 The battery The Tempus Pro contains a removable, rechargeable battery. Example of the Battery Front In normal usage, the rechargeable battery provides power for at least 9 hours' continuous use when fully charged. Example of the Battery Rear Note Note Assessment of use is based on projections of reasonable device usage within a patient incident made by RDT. Do not attempt to fit batteries from previous RDT products (Tempus IC or Tempus IC Professional) into the Tempus Pro, they will not fit. Every battery is provided with an integral battery life indicator which is also visible through the front panel of the case. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 212 11.1 Tempus Pro battery The battery life should be monitored periodically when the device is in storage and also before and after use. RDT recommends that the battery charge status should be checked at least every month and recharged if necessary. If the device is being used regularly then the battery should be checked, weekly or daily depending on the frequency of use. RDT also recommends that the battery be completely discharged and recharged once a year. The User should remember that battery capacity of older batteries will not be the same as new batteries. Note Note By monitoring the remaining battery life, situations where the battery is too weak to power the Tempus Pro for the duration of an incident can be avoided. If the battery strength indicator shows less than 25% power remaining, you should change the battery if possible to ensure that there is adequate power for the next time it is needed. Using the battery down to the point where it is completely empty will not cause any hazards or damage to the system. The power of the battery can be extended by enabling a screen-saving feature on the Tempus. Enabling this feature will make the display switch off if 5 minutes pass with no operator intervention or alarms triggering. The Tempus will remain on and performing any monitoring function it has been set to do. If any patient or technical alarms occur, the Tempus display will come back on and the alarm functions sound as normal. While the display is off, if any operator controls are used then the display will come back in immediately. Using the power save feature will enable the battery life to be extended significantly. To enable this feature, go to the Display Menu and then turn Power Save to on see 9.2.7 Power save feature. Checking the charge of the battery The charge state of the battery can be obtained by pressing the button on the front
. The battery is provided with 4 charge state LEDs. Pressing the button will light one or more lights. Each light corresponds to 25% of the charge state of the battery in the order (from highest to lowest):
Four green LEDs 76-100%
Three green LEDs 51-75%
Two green LEDs 26-50%
One green LED 1-25%
One green flashing LED less than 10%
No LEDs no power due to deep discharge Battery status is always displayed in the status bar see 5.1.3 Battery status indicator. When the battery is low it should be recharged soon after use. Starting a Tempus on an empty battery or leaving batteries in a low or empty state for prolonged periods may put the battery into a deep-discharged state. In this state the battery LEDs will not light and the battery will require a prolonged period on charge in order to return it to normal operation. If none of the LEDs light, then the battery may have been deep-discharged. It should be left on-charge on an external charger for 24 hours to bring the battery out of this state. CAUTION CAUTION These will light cumulatively when the battery button is pressed i.e. only the one green light will light if the charge state is 1-25% after which the 2nd green light will light as well. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 213 Chapter 11 Maintenance, servicing and troubleshooting The Tempus Pro does not need to be turned on to check the battery. If batteries do not retain their charge state, users should try charging them fully on an external charger. As batteries become old and over many charge/discharge cycles, users should expect to see a reduction in their capacity. Such batteries should be replaced at the users discretion. 11.1.2 Removing the battery from the Tempus Pro WARNING WARNING Note Do not short-circuit the terminals of any battery. A short circuit can occur if the battery terminals come into contact with any metal or other electrically conductive object. The battery may be irreversibly damaged if it is short-circuited. Ensure the latches on both sides of the battery are fully engaged prior to using the Tempus - an incorrectly fitted battery could result in the Tempus losing power during use. Before removing the battery, you must switch off the Tempus Pro by pressing the power button. If necessary, you can force a hard shut-down by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds. Remember that the battery cannot be removed until the lamp on the front panel has gone out. The Tempus Pro should not be used without the battery fitted. To replace the battery:
First check the replacement battery has sufficient charge by checking its indicator. Next, ensure the Tempus is switched off. Then remove the battery by squeezing the two latches inwards and then pull the battery away. Example of the Battery Indicator Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 214 11.1 Tempus Pro battery Battery Removal Slide the new battery all the way into the Tempus until it clicks into place on both sides. Battery Insertion 11.1.3 Charging the battery The battery can be charged either when it is fitted to the Tempus Pro or when it is removed from the separate battery charger. WARNING CAUTION CAUTION Note Do not attempt to charge the battery using any charger other than those supplied by RDT. When the battery is low it should be recharged soon after use. Starting a Tempus on an empty battery or leaving batteries in a low or empty state for prolonged periods may put the battery into a deep-discharged state. In this state the battery LEDs will not light and the battery will require a prolonged period on charge in order to return it to normal operation. If none of the LEDs light, then the battery may have been deep-discharged. It should be left on-charge on an external charger for 24 hours to bring the battery out of this state. Users are reminded that the Tempus (when using its external power supply) should not be used to recharge batteries above 40C see 14.2 Physical characteristics and environmental specifications. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 215 Chapter 11 Maintenance, servicing and troubleshooting Charging the battery when attached to the Tempus Pro When fitted to the Tempus Pro, the battery can be charged by connecting the power supply (part number 01-2049) to the connector on the right hand side of the Tempus. The PSU Plug Attached to the Tempus Pro Connector CAUTION If the Tempus is powered using the mains power supply, ensure the mains power supply is accessible so the mains lead can be disconnected in the event that the device needs to be isolated from mains power. The means of isolation of mains power is to disconnect the mains lead from the power supply. CAUTION Where the integrity of the external protective conductor (earth) in the installation or its arrangement is in doubt, equipment shall be operated from its internal electrical power source. Note Interruption of the supply mains for short periods e.g. 30 seconds, will not cause a problem, as the Tempus will automatically switch to battery power. In the event that a battery is not fitted (or is completely flat) the device will shut down immediately. In this case no patient data will be lost. If the device is restarted within 30 seconds it will resume with all patient settings unchanged. If power is resupplied after that it will resume as normal with default settings in place. In this case the user can switch back to monitoring the previous patient
(and continue completing their record) as described in sections 4.3.3 and 9.3.4. When the power supply is attached to the Tempus Pro, the green power light on the Tempus Pro front panel will turn on. If a battery is attached the green charge light will flash. The lights on the battery will light solidly up to the charge state of the battery at the time. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 216 Mains power supply indicator 11.1 Tempus Pro battery Battery Charging Indicator Battery check button Battery Charge indicators CAUTION When the battery is low it should be recharged soon after use. Starting a Tempus on an empty battery or leaving batteries in a low or empty state for prolonged periods may put the battery into a deep-discharged state. In this state the battery LEDs will not light and the battery will require a prolonged period on charge in order to return it to normal operation. CAUTION If none of the LEDs light, then the battery may have been deep-discharged. It should be left on-charge attached to a battery charger (separate from the Tempus) for 24 hours to bring the battery out of this state. Note Charge times of the battery will vary depending on the how the Tempus Pro is being used. If the Tempus is switched off charging will be faster than if the Tempus is on and all features are being used. Charging a completely empty battery will take 6 hours when the Tempus Pro is switched off. Using the battery charger When the battery is separate from the Tempus Pro, the battery may be charged by connecting it to the battery charger (part number 01-1012). To attach the charger to the battery, the clip must be firmly pressed onto the connections of the battery. Note that the clip of the charger can only be connected to the battery in one way. Clip the charger to the battery (the clip only attaches in one way). The Battery Connector Attached to the Battery Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 217 Chapter 11 Maintenance, servicing and troubleshooting Attach the charger to the main supply. The LED on the charger will light orange (for approximately 0-85% charge), change to yellow during charging (at approximately 86-100% charge) and will turn green when finished. If the battery is only partially discharged, then the LED may start on yellow. CAUTION When the battery is low it should be recharged soon after use. Starting a Tempus on an empty battery or leaving batteries in a low or empty state for prolonged periods may put the battery into a deep-discharged state. In this state the battery LEDs will not light and the battery will require a prolonged period on charge in order to return it to normal operation. CAUTION If none of the LEDs light, then the battery may have been deep-discharged. It should be left on-charge attached to a battery charger (separate from the Tempus) for 24 hours to bring the battery out of this state. Note Battery charger is rated at 100-240 V 50-60 Hz 0.9 A. Recharging the battery takes up to 6 hours for a fully discharged battery. Charging to 90%
capacity takes 5 hours. 11.2 Wireless headset battery The headset contains a rechargeable battery. The battery of the headset is not user-replaceable and does not require user intervention. In the unlikely event that the headsets battery becomes completely exhausted and can no longer hold charge, a replacement headset can be purchased. 11.2.1 Charging the headset RDT do not supply a separate charger for the headset. The charger is built into the Tempus Pro. You must follow the repacking instructions provided by the Tempus Pro on screen. These will instruct you to clean the headset after use and to replace it on its docking pin before shutting down. If you do not replace the headset, then the Tempus will show an error advising that the headset should be refitted. Placing the headset onto the docking pin enables the Tempus Pro to recharge it. The Tempus Pro recharges the headset for up to 9 hours (approx.) every time the headset is replaced. The charging cycle will continue regardless if the Tempus Pro is switched on or off. Charging is started as soon as the headset is fitted to the docking pin. The indicator light on the headset will light red for the duration of the charging process. Once the headset is charged its LED will flash blue every 5 seconds. The indicator lights will go off when charge cycle is complete (9 hours). In addition, the Tempus Pro will top up the charge of the headset approximately every 97 days. This occurs when the Tempus is switched off and lasts for up to 9 hours (approximately). CAUTION CAUTION Always maintain a level of at least 10% in the Tempus battery. Leaving the Tempus battery in a low charge state can risk it being depleted by the headset charging process. Do not attempt to charge the headset using any other charging device. This will automatically suspend the warranty and could be dangerous. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 218 11.3 Daily checks 11.2.2 General guidelines for safe use Do not drop or try to alter the shape of your headset. Do not expose the headset to liquid or moisture. Unlike the Tempus, the headset has no protection against ingress of solids or liquids. Do not expose your headset to extreme temperatures. The temperature range of the headset is 10-40 C. Do not try to disassembly your headset. Service and Maintenance can only be performed by RDT. Do not let children play with the headset since it contains small parts that could become detached and create a choking hazard. WARNING CAUTION Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Do not attempt to repair or replace the battery. If the battery is worn out, a new headset is required from RDT. Dispose of the headset in accordance with local regulations. Do not dispose as household waste. The user manual for the Sennheiser headset is supplied on the same CD-ROM as this manual. Details from that manual have been reproduced in this section courtesy of Sennheiser. 11.2.3 Disposal of batteries Dispose of batteries in accordance with the applicable local regulations (these can vary from country to country). Note In most countries, it is illegal to dispose of used batteries in residual waste (landfill). Users are required to dispose of used batteries through the proper channels, for example through not-for-profit organisations mandated by local governments. 11.3 Daily checks RDT recommends that the following daily checks are performed on the Tempus, its cables and accessories:
Ensure they are clean (with no fluid spills) and free of visible damage. Clean and replace as required. Check for signs of damage, excessive wear (cuts in insulation, fraying, broken wires, dirty or bent connector pins). Replace if damaged. Ensure that the device is equipped with appropriate quantities of all disposable supplies (e.g. ECG monitoring electrodes etc.). Ensure that any accessories or consumables are within the shelf life printed on their packages. Ensure that the internal printer (if fitted) contains sufficient paper for at least one day's use. Verify that a charged battery is fully inserted into the Tempus. Ensure the Tempus powers on and that all controls (as described in section 5.1) operate as described. Ideally ensure that a fully charged spare battery is available. Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 219 Chapter 11 Maintenance, servicing and troubleshooting 11.4 Weekly checks RDT recommends that the following weekly checks are performed on the Tempus:
CAUTION To prevent battery failure, perform this check every week when the Tempus Pro is in use. Remove the battery from the Tempus Pro and inspect its contacts. If contacts are damaged, replace the battery. If contacts are dirty, clean them - see "1.1.6 Cleaning the battery contacts". Perform a test print. 11.5 Troubleshooting Occasionally, problems may occur with the Tempus Pro. Operator error, sensor problems or a failure within the Tempus Pro could cause these problems. In most instances, the Tempus Pro will display an error message on the screen. This section describes the possible error messages and what they mean. All of the error messages take the form of a window which appears in the middle of the screen. The window contains the following text:
A title which identifies the sensor or system which is having trouble;
A description of the problem;
The effect that the error will have on the performance of the Tempus;
Which button to press to clear the error message off the screen. CAUTION In the event that the Tempus Pro displays an error that is not described within this manual e.g. application errors, turn the Tempus Pro off and then on again. This should clear the error and allow normal operation to resume. Do not continue to use the device if such an error is displayed. If symptoms persist, please contact RDT.

Further to Table 23 of IEC60601-1:2005, plastic parts (such as the sides, touchscreen, handle etc.) which may be acceptable for long term physical contact at ambient temperatures up to 48C need to be touched for shorter durations (e.g. less than 1 minute) when used in higher ambient temperatures. Similarly, users should note that while the rear heat sink may be touched permanently in ambient temperatures up to 36C, in higher ambient temperatures contact with it should be reduced. Users should pay attention to this if instead of using the handle, they grip the device around its sides. Note Note Note In ambient temperatures above 40 C users should ensure that the device is used in an upright position and that there is air flow around the back of the unit. Users are reminded that the Tempus (when using its external power supply) should not be used to recharge batteries above 40C see 14.2 Physical characteristics and environmental specifications. Users are reminded that the specification of the power supply limits its use to 40C maximum see 14.3 Miscellaneous features and specifications.

You acknowledge that you will read and adhere to the user manual and ensure that users receive proper training from RDT or an appropriately trained individual. You also acknowledge that you will maintain the software by installing new software updates supplied by RDT within 5 working days of receiving or being notified of them. License:
You may transfer the program and license to another party if the party agrees to accept the terms and conditions of this agreement. You will not share the program with other parties and will keep the program and details of its functions confidential. You will ensure that access to the software and use of it will be restricted to properly trained and authorized personnel only. You will not try to copy or reverse engineer the software. The Tempus Pro operates over third-party communications links, such as telephone lines, GSM or satellite links and the Internet. RDT does not accept liability for the failure of these links to reliably transmit information from RDTs products. Users are reminded that it is their responsibility to ensure that GSM network and other communications contracts are maintained and suitably setup and configured for the areas in which they need to be used. In order to function correctly Tempus Pro needs to operate over a communications link such as satellite communications, GSM or a telephone line and other types of links. It is your responsibility to maintain these communications links. Such links may have security or other measures implemented on them such as firewalls. It is your responsibility to ensure that any such firewalls or other elements of the communication link are configured correctly to allow data from Tempus Pro to communicate over said link. RDT does not accept any responsibility for failure to transmit data or to transmit data reliably over such links if they have not been configured correctly. Support on configuring such links can be obtained from RDT upon request. Neither the Tempus Pro or RDT are a "covered entity" under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the regulations promulgated thereunder ("HIPAA"). As a result, HIPAA does not apply to the transmission of health information by RDT or Tempus Pro to any third party. However, users of the Tempus Pro may be covered entities under the HIPAA act and so are reminded that they are responsible for acting accordingly. All users are reminded that it is their responsibility to maintain all patient records in a manner that is compliant with applicable local regulations. The software gives users the ability to share and transmit medical data with third parties. Such activities are entirely the responsibility of the user. RDT owns all proprietary rights to the Tempus Pro. RDT gives you a personal, revocable, non-assignable, and non-exclusive license to use the Tempus Pro. Limited Warranty and Remedies:
In no event shall RDT or its distributors or agents, be liable for any damages resulting from loss of data, loss of revenue or for any incidental or consequential damages incurred arising out of or relating to the use of this Tempus Pro User/Operator Manual - 41-2001EN-00 Page 268 16.2 Mocana EULA software product. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights that vary from region to region. RDTs Terms and Conditions apply. RDT and its distributors make no representations with respect to the merchantability or fitness of the Tempus Pro software and the product is supplied "as is", without any warranty of any kind. Further, RDT reserves the right to revise its publications and program(s) without obligation to notify customer of such a revision. You acknowledge that you have read this agreement, understood it, and agree to be bound by its terms and conditions. Failure to enforce any provision will not constitute a waiver of that provision. If any provision is found unenforceable, it and any related provisions will be interpreted to best accomplish the unenforceable provision's essential purpose. This agreement is governed by UK law. The exclusive venue for any dispute relating to this agreement is London UK. You and RDT consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts. Nothing in this agreement limits either party's ability to seek equitable relief. 16.2 Mocana EULA This license covers the Mocana FIPS 140-2 security technology.
