3.3 Sensor Placement and Connection 3.3.1 ECG Cable Connection ECG measurement is to collect the ECG signal via the ECG electrodes. Electrode connects the patient and the lead. The lead connects the monitor. The locations of the electrodes are very important for obtaining accurate ECG signals.

electrode C3 (V3) The electrodes are placed in different places, the different lead forms will display. C4 (V4) C5 (V5) C6 (V6) Table 3-1 Safety Instructions for ECG Monitoring Use the same type electrode on a patient. If skin rash or other unusual symptom occurs, remove electrodes from patient.
3.3.2 Blood Pressure Cuff Connection 1. Select a cuff of appropriate size according to the age of the subject. Its width should be 2/3 of the length of the upper arm. The cuff inflation part should be long enough to permit wrapping 50-80% of the limb concerned.
Do NOT bind NIBP cuff on limbs with transfusion tube or intubations or skin lesion area, otherwise, damages may be caused to the limbs. Prior to use of the cuff, empty the cuff until there is no residual air inside it to ensure accurate measurement.
Safety Introductions for SpO Monitoring Continuous use of finger clip SpO sensor may result in discomfort or pain, especially for those patients with microcirculatory problem. It is recommended that the sensor should NOT be applied to the same finger for over two hours. measuring position must be examined more carefully for some special patient.

3.3.6 Battery Installation 1. Ensure that the monitor is not connected to AC power supply and the monitor is turned off. 2. Open the battery cover and place the battery in the direction as shown in Fig. 3.8 to insert the battery into any one of battery compartments. Do not insert battery with their polarities reversed.
Chapter 4 Operations 4.1 Initial Monitoring Screen When the parameter configuration of monitor is “ECG+SpO +NIBP”, insert the ECG cable into the socket labeled “ECG” and attach the ECG leads to the electrodes placed on human body, once powered up, the LCD will display the initial monitoring screen, this is the default display screen as well.
prompt info area contains 3 segment of information: status or event indication at the left, patient ID number in the middle, real time clock at the right (also see Figure 4.1). 4.1.1 Default Display Screen Description Title area: ECG lead status and ECG waveform scale. “ECG”: indicate the current monitoring parameter is ECG.
“ ” key: Alarm silence switch, press it to enable/disable alarm silence. “ ”/ “ ”key change ECG waveform scale. 4.2 SpO Monitoring Screen Short time press “ Display” key to shift the screen view to SpO monitoring screen, as shown in Figure 4.3.

displayed in trend graph, so the user can move the cursor to inspect the SpO value at the given time. “SpO ”: indicate that the trend graph beside it is SpO trend. Let the cursor stay here and press“ ” key to confirm, then press “ ”...
Figure 4.6 NIBP List The first column is the date, the second column is NIBP measuring time, the third column is NIBP value, and the fourth column is pulse rate (measured by NIBP module). “SYS/DIA/MAP” indicates the value of “systolic pressure/diastolic pressure/mean arterial pressure”. 4.4.1 Operation Instructions On NIBP List screen, if NIBP measurement is more than 6 groups, press “...
There are 8 functional groups for setting parameters: “ECG TEMP, SpO , NIBP, Nurse Call, System, Patient Info, Date/Time and Default” on the Setup Menu Screen. 1. Press“ ” key or “ ” key to shift cursor to corresponding functional group setting. 2.
for neonates: preset range: 70~100mmHg, default value: “90” mmHg; for infants: preset range: 80~130 mmHg, default value: “110” mmHg; for adults: preset range: 80~180mmHg, default value: “140” mmHg. If the pressure drops down slowly under 10mmHg compared with the preset value due to little air leakage in the pneumatic system when time passes by, the monitor will re-inflate to maintain the cuff pressure close to the preset pressure value.
“Source”: three kinds of alarm sources can trig the nurse call: high level alarm, medium level alarm and low level alarm (multi-optional). If you don’t make choice, nurse call signal will not be sent out. “Duration”: two options “pulse” or “continuous” output modes are available; “continuous”: the continuous mode of output means the nurse call signal will keep until the selected alarm source(es) disappear, i.e.
4.5.6 Patient Info Figure 4.13 Patient Info Screen Screen Description: “ID”: change or set current patient’s ID number, 0~100 adjustable; “category”: change or set the category of current patient; three options “adult”, “pediatric” and “neonate”, the default is “adult”. Note: If the patient ID is changed, all the history data will be cleared, that means SpO trend graph, HR trend graph and NIBP list will become empty.
4.6 Power Saving Mode On the initial display screen, you can make the monitor stay in power saving mode for power saving. Short time press power button to shift screen to “Power Saving Mode” display screen, as shown in Figure 4.12. Figure 4.12 Power Saving Mode Press “...

Chapter 7 Working Principle 7.1 How to Obtain High Quality ECG and Accurate Heart Rate Value The electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is primarily a tool for evaluating the electrical events within the heart. The action potentials of cardiac-muscle cells can be viewed as batteries that cause charge to move throughout the body fluids.
methodologies, such as the Korotkoff Sound Method and oscillating method. The Korotkoff Sound Method is used as a conventional way, whereby stethoscope is used to measure the blood pressure. By the oscillating method, an inflation pump will fill the air, and release it slowly. A computer will record change of the cuff pressure when the air is released.
4. The measures should be taken at appropriate intervals. Continuous measurement at too short intervals may lead to pressed arm, reduced blood flow and lower blood pressure, and resulting inaccurate measure of blood pressure. It is recommended the measure be taken at intervals of more than two minutes.
7.3.2 Points to be noted in SpO and Pulse Measuring 1. The finger should be properly placed (see the attached illustration of this instruction manual), or else it may cause inaccurate measurement result. 2. Make sure that capillary arterial vessel beneath the finger is penetrated through by red and infrared lights.
