Hospital Monitor Interface Accessory (HMIA)

Overview

This explains the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Hospital Monitor Interface Accessory (HMIA).
The sole function of the HMIA module is to simulate the patient temperature probe connected to the T1 port
on the front of the console. Connection of the HMIA to a hospital monitor using one of the ZOLL custom
cables will permit the display of an identical patient temperature on both the console and the hospital monitor,
while using only a single patient temperature probe.
WARNING. The HMIA is not a replacement for the T2 Temperature probe on the console. It simply simulates
the T1 Temperature probe. Use of the HMIA does not obviate the need for a second patient temperature mon-
itoring method. Failure to use a second patient temperature monitoring method can result in injury to the
patient in the event of a T1 Temperature Probe failure.

Operating the HMIA

Connecting to the Hospital Monitor

The HMIA simulates a standard YSI 400 temperature sensor, such as in a patient temperature sensing Foley
catheter or rectal probe.
The HMIA is connected to a hospital monitor via a ZOLL custom interface cable included with the HMIA. These
cables have connectors that are identical to the connectors of Foley and rectal patient temperature probes.
One end of the ZOLL interface cable plugs directly into the standard patient cable of the hospital monitor. In
this way, the hospital monitor connects to the HMIA interface cable in the same fashion as it would connect to
a Foley or rectal temperature probe. (See Figure 4.72).

The other end of the ZOLL interface cable plugs into the HMIA connector labeled T1 out. (See Figure 4.73).
