To install a module
CAUTION
SIMULTANEOUS CONNECTION OF TRAM AND PDM — The
patient monitor only supports patient monitoring from one primary
ECG acquisition device at a time. A Patient Data Module (PDM)
and a TRAM module cannot be used to monitor a patient at the
same time.
If a PDM is connected to the patient monitor when monitoring from
a TRAM module has already been established, a 'CONNECTING'
message is displayed on the monitor.
If a TRAM module is connected to the patient monitor when
monitoring from a PDM has already been established, no parameter
or waveform data from the TRAM module is displayed.
NOTE
When switching between primary acquisition devices (e.g., TRAM module
to PDM, or PDM to TRAM module), the patient monitor will perform a
reconnection cycle that can last up to two minutes. During this cycle, there is
a loss of displayed parameters and waveform data.
NOTE
An error message displays if an incompatible module is connected. Refer to
the "CARESCAPE Monitor B850 Addendum for Device Compatibility" for
details.
1. Face the Tram-Rac housing and guide the back of the module into the
appropriate position.
2. Gently push the module into the housing. You will hear a click when the module
is fully inserted.
To remove a module:
1. Push the module into the Tram-Rac housing. This releases the module and makes
it easier to remove.
2. Press and hold the release levers found on each side of the front of the module.
3. Pull the module out about 15 cm (6 inches).
4. Grasp the module firmly with both hands and remove it. Do not try to hold the
module by the release levers.
The release levers for TRAM modules are recessed in the side of the protruding front
of the module.
