INTRODUCTION SECTION 1 Manual Purpose The T12™/T12S™ digital ambulatory transmitter user manual explains how to: Acquire and transmit 12-lead ECG signals to a receiving device Acquire and transmit pulse oximetry (SpO ) signals to a receiving device ...
The T12 incorporates wireless electrocardiographic technology to achieve the real-time acquisition and RF transmission of simultaneous 12-lead ECG data with diagnostic quality while allowing the patient to be ambulatory. Transmission to a Mortara receiver module allows the cardiac signals to be displayed on a monitoring device without direct connection to an electrocardiograph.
Alkaline, AA-type, 1.5V Various Various Lithium, AA-type, 1.5V Energizer NOTE: Replace cells with only those listed above. Use of other cells may present a risk of fire or explosion. To order additional supplies, contact a Mortara Instrument customer service representative.
Battery 1 AA alkaline, 24-hour typical life * Operating frequency range is dependent on the T12/T12S part number. ** Verified by clinical tests where measured values of the sensors were compared with arterial CO-oximetry in adult subjects over the specified SpO range.
The lead wires are positioned on the main cable to follow the contour of the torso. Each lead wire terminates in a snap connector. Securely insert the ECG cable connector block into the ECG input connector on the top of the T12/T12S. NOTE: Be careful to insert the connector block parallel to the input connector.
SECTION 2 Attaching the SpO Sensor Cable The SpO sensor cable consists of a connector block and a main cable with a SpO sensor connected to the main cable. Securely insert the SpO sensor cable connector block into the SpO input connector on the top of the T12S.
Turning the T12/T12S On The T12/T12S will power up as soon as a battery with a minimum of 1.0 volts has been inserted into the battery compartment and the cover applied. If the T12/T12S was turned off after its last use, the user has two options to power the T12/T12S on: 1.

SECTION 2 Patient Pulse Oximeter Sensor Application Select a suitable site for the SpO sensor. The patient’s first or index finger is the preferred location. Alternative sites recommended are the thumb or little finger. Refer to the user instructions accompanying the sensor type being used for proper application.
Page 33
SECTION 2 In addition to the digital readout of O saturation, the clinician can display a plethysmographic waveform to help distinguish an artifactual signal from the true signal. If readings are lower than expected or there is artifact in the pleth wave signal, reposition the sensor.
An option to display the actual battery voltage is also available in the configuration menu and will be explained later in this section. NOTE: If battery voltage is below 1.0 volts, the T12/T12S may not power on. Insert a new AA battery to continue operation.
SECTION 2 Using the Buttons Three buttons located on the front and side of the T12/T12S are available for powering the T12/T12S on/off, navigating through the LCD menu screens, and for sending calls during transmission: Up, Down, and Call. Figure 2-4...
SECTION 2 Main Menu During patient monitoring, the T12/T12S displays the following information: SPO2 ► (applies to T12S only) Battery Symbol = 100%, 75%, 50%, or 25% battery charge Ch:XX = Transmission channel Patient ID (if entered; applies to T12S only) ...
NOTE: The cursor cannot be moved in the left or up direction. NOTE: Patient ID information entered on the T12/T12S may not be supported by the receiver; check the receiver device user manual. Displaying SpO DISPLAY SPO2 is used to visually display the plethysmographic waveform together with the pulse rate, the oxygen saturation percentage value, and any probe error codes (used for Mortara service troubleshooting).
To return to the main menu, navigate to DONE and press Call. Setting the Transmission Channel Number The T12/T12S transmits the patient’s cardiac signals to the electrocardiograph using a specific channel number. CHANNEL is used to enter the optimal transmission channel number before starting a patient session. The user may choose from any of 256 channels.
6. Use DISPLAY SPO2 to verify the pulse oximetry sensor application quality as explained in this section. 7. Return to the main menu. NOTE: If battery voltage is below 1.0 volts, the T12/T12S may not power on. Insert a new AA battery to continue operation.

ECG cable before each use to ensure they are not damaged or broken. Disposal of Waste Materials The T12/T12S uses one AA battery and disposable monitoring electrodes. Disposal must be in accordance with the following procedures: Battery: applicable disposal or recycling standards...
MESSAGES AND INFORMATION APPENDIX A The following table describes messages that are displayed on the T12/T12S during patient hookup and transmission. Table of Messages Message Solution Battery power is low. Replace existing battery with a fresh battery. Battery power is at 25%.
