12.2 Mindray SpO Module NOTE This section is only applicable to the monitor equipped with a Mindray module. 12.2.1 Principles of Operation monitoring is a non-invasive technique used to measure the amount of oxygenated haemoglobin and pulse rate by measuring the absorption of selected wavelengths of light.
Monitoring 12.2.2 Precautions WARNING The SpO value might be overestimated in the presence of Hb-CO, Met-Hb or dye dilution chemicals. Check if the sensor cable is in normal condition before monitoring. Do not use the SpO sensor once the package or the sensor is found damaged.
Monitoring 12.2.3 Monitoring Procedure Sensor selection for SpO measurement depends on the patient type. For an adult patient, you can choose a finger SpO sensor; for an infant patient, you can choose a hand or toe sensor. Refer to the following procedure. Power on the monitor.
Page 191
Monitoring Figure 12-3 Neonate Sensor Placement (1) Figure 12-4 Neonate Sensor Placement (2) Wind the SpO sensor around a hand or foot of a neonate patient. Hold the sensor, pull the belt and fit one of its sides with “V” edge into the “V” groove on the corresponding side of the sheath.
Monitoring NOTE If the sensor cannot be positioned accurately to the part to be measured, it may result in inaccurate SpO reading, or the SpO even cannot be measured because no pulse is detected. In this case, you must position the sensor again.
Monitoring Excessive ambient light; Improper sensor installation or incorrect sensor placement on the patient Sensor temperature (optimal temperature is between 28℃ and 42℃); The sensor is placed on a limb that is attached to a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line; Concentration of dysfunctional hemoglobin, such as carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin;...

Page 195
Monitoring WARNING Setting the SpO upper alarm limit to 100% will disable the upper alarm limit. High oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to retrolental fibroplasia. Therefore, the upper alarm limit for oxygen saturation must be carefully selected in accordance with the commonly accepted clinical practices.
Monitoring 12.3 Masimo SpO Module NOTE This section is only applicable to the monitor equipped with a Masimo module. 12.3.1 Principles of Operation The pulse oximetry measurement module (Masimo Set, which is called MS-7 ) is based on three principles: Oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin differ in their absorption of red and infrared light (spectrophotometry).
Page 197
Monitoring absorbance signals: This value of R is used to find the SpO in a look-up table built into the instrument’s software. The values in the look-up table are based upon human blood studies against a laboratory co-oximeter on healthy adult volunteers in induced hypoxia studies.
Monitoring Discrete Saturation Transform %SpO The DST plot has two peaks: the peak corresponding to the higher saturation is selected as the SpO value. This entire sequence is repeated once every two seconds on the most recent four seconds of raw data. The SpO value therefore corresponds to a running average of arterial hemoglobin saturation that is updated every two seconds.
Page 199
Monitoring To ensure patient electrical isolation, connect only to other equipment with electronically isolated circuits. Do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or dimmer. Carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation. Interfering Substances: Carboxyhemoglobin may erroneously increase readings.
Monitoring 12.3.3 Monitoring Procedure Follow the procedure as below: Power on the monitor. Attach the sensor to the proper site on the patient. Plug the connector of the sensor extension cable into the SpO connector on monitor. The process of SpO plethysmogram measurement is generally the same.

Page 208
Monitoring absorption (i.e., measurements at systole and diastole). By doing so, it focuses on light absorption by pulsatile arterial blood, eliminating the effects of nonpulsatile absorbers such as tissue, bone, and venous blood. Automatic Calibration Because light absorption by hemoglobin is wavelength dependent and because the mean wavelength of LEDs varies, a monitor must know the mean wavelength of the sensor’s red LED to accurately measure SpO .
Monitoring Figure 12-8 Oxyhemoglobin Dissociation Curve 12.4.2 Precautions WARNING Pulse oximeter can overestimate the SpO value in the presence of Hb-CO, Met-Hb or dye dilution chemicals. ES (Electrosurgery) equipment wire and SpO cable must not be tangled up. Carefully route patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
Monitoring WARNING Do not perform SpO monitoring and NIBP measurements on the same arm simultaneously. Obstruction of blood flow during NIBP measurements may adversely affect the reading of the SpO value. Before performing the testing, check the sensor cable. After unplugging the SpO sensor cable from the socket, the system shall display the prompt information "SPO2 SENSOR OFF"...
Monitoring 12.4.4 Measurement Limitations If the accuracy of any measurement does not seem reasonable, first check the patient’s vital signs by an alternate method.

IBP Monitoring 15.6 ICP Transducer ICT/B 15.6.1 Introduction The ICT/B is one of catheter tip transducers manufactured by Gaeltec. It is designed for measuring intracranial pressure by the epidural method. It features quite a few advantages, like ease-to-use and excellent frequency response without artifacts. The ICT/B has an atmospheric reference pressure channel that connects the back of the sensing area to the ambient air pressure via the luer fitting on the connector.
IBP Monitoring 15.6.2 Precautions NOTE The ICT/B pressure transducer is specially designed to be used by trained professional physicians. Operation on the transducer is restricted to the well-trained physicians only. The monitor using the ICT/B pressure transducer must meet the current safety standards of the country, where the monitor is or is to be used, and should be able to work with the strain gauge pressure transducer.
IBP Monitoring 15.6.3 Calibration and Zeroing Calibration The ICT/B is supplied with a minimal zero offset and the sensitivity is set at 5 uV/V/mmHg. To ensure accurate settings of the amplifier and recorder, the controls should be zeroed at ambient pressure and then calibrated at a known pressure. For instance, use the calibration tube, syringe and manometer, or immerse it into a known depth of water column and then set the gain of the system to the required level.
Page 253
IBP Monitoring CAUTION The total volume of air injected from a 1ml syringe to check the zero must not exceed 0.5ml. Otherwise, the membrane over the sensor might be ruptured. Connecting to a new monitor when the ICT/B is in the Epidural Space Set correct pressure range on monitor.
IBP Monitoring 15.6.4 Application of ICT/B NOTE ICT/B transducer must be used under supervision of qualified physician. The ICT/B is intended for the measurement of epidural pressures. It can measure positive pressures only. Thus, it is not recommended to measure intraventricular pressures.
Page 255
IBP Monitoring The dura mater should be carefully stripped at least 2cm under the skull and 180° in arc before insertion. Failure to do this will result in wedging of the pressure sensor and inaccurate readings. Reseat the transducer tip after a few days since the dura may rapidly tighten and change its physical characteristics.
Page 256
IBP Monitoring Summary When preparing the burr hole, it is required that the hole be rounded at the edges where the catheter is inserted with an "S" bend into the epidural space. Remove all bone chips A small pledgelet of woven bandage should be placed around the catheter at the position of sutures.
IBP Monitoring 15.6.5 Maintenance and Cleaning WARNING The ICT/B is supplied non-sterile. It must be cleaned and sterilized each time before use. Do not autoclave; do not use radiation sterilization or ultrasonic cleaning. Do not use the sterilizing cap during ETO gas sterilizing. Do not use chlorinated hydrocarbons, toluene, or sodium hypochlorite solution for disinfection.
Page 258
IBP Monitoring Ethylene oxide (ETO) Disinfection Procedure Unplug the female luer on the proximal connector before the ETO disinfection cycle. Failure to do this will result in damage to the ICT/B or even disable it. The luer must be open to allow the incoming and the outgoing of ETO gas. Coil the ICT/B and put it in a package filled with ETO.
Page 259
IBP Monitoring Precautions The metal sensor is robust and can withstand severe shocks and vibrations. However, it cannot be recovered if damaged by sharp objects or overpressure, for instance by squeezing the tip using the forefinger and the thumb. The silicone coating on the sensing area allows a small amount of water absorption. But if the water absorption lasts for an hour or more, the baseline may drift several mmHgs.
IBP Monitoring 15.6.6 Frequently Asked Questions 15.6.6.1 Questions and Answers Questions Answers Is the ICT/B a single use device? No, it can be reused. If it is damaged, what shall we do? Disinfect first. Then, send it together with the purchase order back to the manufacturer for repair.
