Patient Inputs All patient inputs are fully isolated from electrical earth. ECG and respiration rates are obtained via conventional electrodes and either a 3 or 5 way patient cable. Temperature measurements are obtained via thermistor based temperature sensors. Non-invasive Blood Pressure readings are gained using a plethysmographic cuff technique with cuff inflation provided by an internal pump.

ECG Monitoring To monitor the ECG of a patient apply the electrodes as shown below and plug the ECG cable into the SC750. The ECG traces/traces selected will be displayed on the first (and, if selected, second trace lines) on the screen. In the ECG box will be displayed the Heart Rate and QRS detection.
Clean the area with an alcohol pad to remove all abrading residues and oils (not necessary with preparation solutions). Dry the skin. Snap the ECG lead wire to the electrodes prior to placement on the patient’s chest. Ensure that all conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors do not contact other conductive parts including earth.
5.2.2.2 Gain Allows display gain selection between x ½, x1, x2, and x4. A gain of x1 is equivalent to 1cm/mV. 5.2.2.3 Mode Allows the user to select between “MONITOR” and “DIAGNOSTIC” filtering. 5.2.2.4 Filter Switches the 50/60Hz notch filter ON or OFF. 5.2.2.5 QRS Beep Turns the QRS beep ON or OFF.
5.2.2.8.1 High and Low Alarm Settings and Suspend At the top of the dialogue box are the current high and low settings with a + and – box top and bottom. The + and – buttons allow the user to adjust the alarm levels manually.
SpO2 Monitoring SpO2 monitoring starts when the sensor is clipped to the patient and the patient cable is connected to the SC750. While monitoring the SpO2 waveform is displayed as the second parameter on screen with %O2 and the PR (pulse rate) displayed in the SpO2 box. A bar graph is also shown indicating signal strength.
If no satisfactory reading can be obtained the symbol appears with the words “LONG SEARCH”. If this occurs investigate to ensure that the circulation is not being impeded and that no foreign object, such as sticking plaster, is blocking the inside of the probe. If no obvious reason can be found try connecting a different probe.
5.3.4.1 Parameter The Parameter button is used to turn the SpO2 function ON or OFF. If the function has been turned off and the Parameter button is pushed, to turn the function on, after a brief period, during which a consistent signal is being characterised, the trace will appear along with digital readouts of SpO2 and Pulse Rate (PR).
5.3.4.3.3 Use Defaults The next button in the dialogue box is Use Defaults. To the right of the button is the high level alarm default value and to the left the low alarm default value. Pressing the Use Default button substitutes the high and low default values for the current alarm settings.
Respiration Monitoring Respiration is monitored from the ECG electrodes attached to the patient. While monitoring ECG the Respiration waveform is shown as the 3rd parameter on the screen. In the RESP box the breathing rate (BR) is displayed along with an indication of inhalation or exhalation. 5.4.1 Electrode Application for RESP Monitoring Respiration monitoring is achieved using the ECG patient cable.
If reusable or non-gelled electrodes are used, apply gel to the electrodes. If pre-gelled disposable electrodes are used, peel the backing from the electrode adhesive and apply the electrodes. NOTE Do not apply excessive pressure to the centre of the electrode as it may force gel beneath the adhesive and cause the electrode to loosen.
5.4.2.2 Sens For respiration there are 2 sensitivities available either 1Ω/cm or to 3Ω/cm. Pressing the Sens button selects the sensitivity required and displays it on the button. 5.4.2.3 BR ALARM SETUP Pressing the ‘BR ALARM SETUP’ button will reveal the dialogue box shown below in Fig.30.
5.4.2.3.4 Tick √ Button Use the tick to exit the BR ALARM SETUP screen and return to the RESP SETUP dialogue or push the SETUP button to exit from setup completely. 5.4.2.4 Exiting Pushing the Tick button or the SETUP button will close the RESP SETUP dialogue and return to normal monitoring.
5.5.1 TEMP SETUP With a probe inserted pressing the ‘TEMP’ or by pressing TEMP within the SETUP screen (Fig.10) will cause the TEMP SETUP (Fig.31) screen to be displayed. TEMP SETUP Lead I Lead i (CASC) T1 ALARM SETUP 1 /cm T2 ALARM SETUP br/m ADULT...
5.5.1.1.1 High and Low Alarm Settings and Suspend At the top of the dialogue box are the current high and low settings with a + and – box top and bottom. The + and – buttons allow the user to adjust the alarm levels manually.
Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) Monitoring NIBP measurement uses the oscillometric method via a cuff, inflated and deflated through the SC750. It is capable of accurately sensing blood pressure on any portion of the arm or leg with sufficient blood flow. This includes the general regions of the upper arm, lower arm, thigh, calf, ankle, and arch of the foot.
5.6.1 Connecting the Cuff to the SC750 Push the cuff extension hose bayonet connector gently onto the NIBP spigot located on the right-hand side of the monitor and turn clockwise until locked. NB: do not force the connector to avoid breaking the locking lugs. Select the correct cuff for the patient and wrap around the patient’s limb.
5.6.2.1 Mode The Modes available are MANUAL, AUTOMATIC. TURBO and MANOMETER. If Calibration mode is disabled then MANOMETER is removed from the list of modes. MODE SETTING FREQUENCY OF RECORDING ‘AUTOMATIC’ Every 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 or 90 minutes. ‘TURBO’...
5.6.2.5 SYS ALARM SETUP Pressing this button produces the screen shown in Fig.35 enabling the systolic alarms to be turned on or off and their levels set. The Auto Limit button is used to set the alarm levels 20 above and 20 below the last recorded systolic reading.
5.6.2.7 MAP ALARM SETUP Pressing this button produces the MAP alarm setup dialogue box (Fig.37) enabling the MAP alarms to be turned on or off and their levels set. The Auto Limit button is used to set the alarm levels 20 above and 20 below the last recorded MAP reading.

5.8.2 Recording Procedure The recorder has two modes of operation: Record - activated by pressing the RECORD GO/STOP area at the bottom of the screen. In this mode the recorder runs in real time continuously. The trace on the recorder corresponding to the waveforms selected on the RECORD SETUP screen.
Trouble Shooting This section gives some of the more common problems encountered during use together with their possible causes. If the operator cannot locate the problem after consulting the table in this section, the monitor should be switched off, disconnected from mains power source and a qualified technician should be consulted.
Maintenance Care of your Equipment Although the SC750 is robust and has been designed to withstand normal clinical use, the unit contains delicate components, such as the display and accessories, which should be handled and treated with care. It is recommended that the unit and accessories are tested on a regular basis. We recommend that the system is included into an annual calibration programme where the accuracy of the system is checked against the manufacturers’...
