11. Trends Trends are displayed graphically or tabular over a 1, 8 or a 24-hour period. From the main application screen, pressing the displays the trends screen. The system displays three buttons. From this point, the operator can customise the data. Switches the trend scale between 1, 8 or 24 1 HOUR hours.
12. ECG Monitoring IMPORTANT Check all cables before operation. Only use the patient cable supplied with the system. DO NOT connect any NON-ISOLATED accessories to the system when connected to a patient. The system provides an isolated circuit for the ECG capability; ensure that the conductive parts of the ECG patient cable do not contact any other conducting parts including ground.
12.2 Adult ECG Electrode placement There are several sites for positioning ECG electrodes; these are dependant on the patients' physiological characteristics and condition. In most cases, ECG signal deficiencies may be improved by repositioning one or more of the electrodes. The best monitoring results will be obtained by placing the electrodes on the chest.
Do not allow the ECG cable to place stress on to the ECG electrodes, as this will produce poor quality recordings. NOTE - If reusable or non-gelled electrodes are used, apply gel to the centre of the electrodes. If pre-gelled disposable electrodes are used, peel the backing from the electrode adhesive and apply the electrodes according to the manufacturers instructions.

Alarms Use the touch screen to adjust the setting. The alarm levels can be set for both high and low limits using the + or - symbols. Pressing the symbol turns the alarm OFF or ON. Alarm ON Alarm OFF Press to save and exit from function.
13. Respiration Monitoring IMPORTANT This system uses a transthoracic method to determine the respiration rate. Check all cables before operation. Only use the patient cable supplied with the system. Respiration monitoring is achieved using a special patient cable. This cable does not contain protective resistors found on the standard SC1000 ECG cable.
13.1 Respiration electrode placement Note that the electrode positioning may be optimised for either transthoracic or transabdominal respiratory monitoring. These positions will offer the maximum strength for combined respiration and ECG signals when both parameters are to be monitored. Proper electrode application is particularly critical when monitoring respiration.
13.2 Respiration set up RESP RESP SETUP Press the area of the screen to display the The following options will be available: - RESP SETUP Parameter Sens High Auto Limit Parameter This switches the RESP monitoring function ON or OFF. Use the touch screen to adjust the setting.
Alarms Use the touch screen to adjust the setting. The alarm levels can be set for both high and low limits using the + or - symbols. Pressing the symbol turns the alarm OFF or ON. Alarm ON Alarm OFF Press to exit from function.
14. SpO Monitoring IMPORTANT The SC1000 series uses an advanced digital pulse oximetry system supplied by BCI®. The BCI® oximetry sensors are indicated for use in continuous non- invasive monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate determination. Only use BCI® oximetry sensors with the SC1000 series of monitoring systems.
14.1 Patient preparation / connection For Use With Adults Insert the patient's digit to the sensor. The preferred digit is the index finger (adult). The digit is correctly inserted when the tip of the finger touches the rear of the guideposts. Ensure the sensor cable extends along the top of the patient's hand.

15. Temperature Monitoring Temperature probes are not supplied with the system, however, the SC1000 supports YSI 400 compatible sensors. Follow the manufactures instruction for use. Insert the temperature probe(s) into the sockets labelled T1 and or T2 on the ECG / TEMPERATURE / SpO module.
16. Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) Monitoring The system uses the Oscillometric method via a cuff which is inflated and deflated through the SC1000. 16.1 Connecting the cuff to the SC1000 Connect the hexagonal bayonet-fitting end of the cuff extension hose to the NIBP socket on the module, push the connector gently and turn clockwise until it locks.
The following table can be used as a guide to help with site selection: - Patient group Measurement site Adult Upper arm Paediatric Upper arm Neonatal Upper arm or leg 16.2 NIBP set up NIBP NIBP SETUP Press the area of the screen to display the options.

Start Pressure* Start Pressure Press the TAB to set the target cuff pressure. In adult and paediatric mode, the target pressure can be set to 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, 220 or 240 mmHg. In neonatal mode, the target pressure can be set to 60, 80, 100 or 120 mmHg. Press to exit this function.
16.3 Making a BP measurement NIBP Press the TAB at the bottom of the screen to initiate the GO/STOP measurement. The cuff will gradually inflate. After approximately 30 seconds the system will complete the measurement and display the readings in the NIBP area of the screen: - 120/80 (97)

Press NIBP to restart. 'AIR LEAK' Cuff tubing loose at Disconnect and connectors.
17. Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring Invasive Blood Pressure measurements must only be carried out by, or under the supervision of qualified personnel. The catheters should not be used on limbs which are being used for other medical procedures. 17.1 Transducer set-up The following procedures must be strictly observed and carried out in the sequence indicated.
Connect the transducer cable to the transducer paying particular attention to the channel identification (I or II). Each of the free ends must be inserted into the appropriate blue socket/s on the IBP module labelled I and II. 17.2 Priming the system Follow the manufacturers priming instruction.
17.3 Zeroing the system Each channel can be set up / calibrated independently. Allow the transducer to warm up for 5 minutes before zeroing. Vent the transducer to atmospheric pressure by turning the ZERO stopcock off to the patient. Touch the appropriate IBP area of the screen to display the set-up screen and press ZERO to zero the transducer.
