Intended use The NeuroSmart is a diagnostic device and is used for monitoring up to four invasively measured phys- iological pressures and up to two patient temperatures (with alarm function). In addition to measuring and monitoring the aforementioned vital parameters, the NeuroSmart offers long-term storage of the readings.
The NeuroSmart may only be used on a single patient at the same time. • For the NeuroSmart’s mains operation, only choose a wall socket that can be reached without diffi- culty if the adapter has to be disconnected from the wall socket •...
• Please delete all data before sending the NeuroSmart for routine service checks. • Please delete all data at the end of the device’s service life if the NeuroSmart is to be perma- nently shut down. • Only persons/organisations authorised by RAUMEDIC may perform a software/firmware up- date.
For the patient connections, the sign means that only accessory parts approved by the manufacturer may be connected to the NeuroSmart, because protection of the medical device against the consequences of a defibrillator’s discharge depends on the use of suit- able cables.

Figure 5: Status area [1] Date and time [2] Patient No.: Patient No. is a number assigned internally by the NeuroSmart. The Patient No. in- creases continuously when a new patient is created. [3] Clinic ID: The Clinic ID is user-assigned when a new patient is created. Alphanumeric characters can be entered for the Clinic ID.
The battery symbol at the top of the display means that the battery is fully charged. With a fully charged battery, the NeuroSmart can be operated without connection to a mains outlet for up to 4 hours (e.g. when transporting a patient) In this case, the green Power On LED flashes (on the bottom left of the operating foil, see Figure 2 No.
It is not necessary to assign a measuring position for catheters with an internal storage. The measuring positions are automatically detected and assigned by the NeuroSmart. Measuring positions do need to be assigned for catheters (without an internal storage) and blood pressure transducers.

RAUMED NeuroSmart Instruction Manual The following alarm conditions are defined for the NeuroSmart's pressure values and temperature val- ues: The alarm is triggered if the limit value is exceeded or fallen below for 6 seconds within a 10- second interval.
6 minutes. Analogue forwarding of measured parameters The NeuroSmart device has two types of analogue outputs. The first type of forwarding is pressure forwarding with the Out1/Out2 outputs, which can be connected to the invasive pressure input of a patient monitor.
NeuroSmart. Quit the forwarding dialogue with the “Confirm” button. If necessary, the value measured with the NeuroSmart can deviate from the value shown by the patient monitor. For this, please observe the patient monitor instruction manual, which contains the tolerances of the IBP input.

In the event of concurrent use with a HF surgical device, the measurement may be briefly interrupted. Within 10 seconds after the HF surgical device has been switched off, the NeuroSmart continues the measurement. Before using electric surgical instrument, check whether the blood pressure transducer being used is equipped with suitable safety measures against burns to the patient.
