Page 5
High frequency interference by electrosurgery or energy discharged by a defibrillator may damage the instrument. Follow the precautions described in the manual for each device. (The instrument is protected against the energy discharged by a defibrillator only when the accessory ECG extension cable is used.) During electrosurgery, do not connect the ECG electrodes to the patient.

High-frequency noises from other devices through the electrical outlet Locates the noise source and eliminate its route using adequate measures such as a noise elimination device. Turn off the device that serves as a noise source, if possible. Use another electrical outlet. Static electricity discharged by the instrument or the environment Discharge static electricity fully from the operator and the patient before use.
Safety Precautions The following are the cautions on measurements and sensors. Blood pressure measurement Warning Blood pressure may not be measured when noise, such as consecutive irregular heart rhythm and physical movement, is present. Check the reliability of the measured value by displaying or printing the pulse graph.

Heart rate/pulse rate measurement Monitor a patient using a pacemaker closely while measuring the heart rate. Warning Do not diagnose arrhythmia other than bradycardia or tachycardia by using the pulse rate displayed and detected by the instrument. The instrument employs three types of heart rate/pulse rate detection methods. Caution Heart rate by QRS detection from the ECG waveform (Only for models with ECG) (The value is displayed in green.)

7-2 Calibration This is a precision instrument. Perform a checkup periodically. Checking the pressure accuracy Connect the pressure generator and the manometer to the instrument as shown in the illustration. Use the optional 500-cc cylinder or the cuff wrapped loosely around a cylinder. 500-cc cylinder Instrument (Cuff)
7-3 Assembling the Cuff Replacing the cuff cloth Insert the rubber hose completely into the cuff cloth. From the bladder opening, pull out the bladder with the rubber hose. After replacing the cuff cloth, put back the bladder and the rubber hose through the bladder opening. Pull out the rubber hose through the rubber hose opening.
7-6 Error Codes When the instrument detects an erroneous measurement condition, the following error codes are displayed. Error code Symptom Remedy Blood pressure related errors Zero point error in the pressure Exhaust air from the cuff and turn on the power sensor circuit again.
Appendix A: Measuring Principle A-1 Blood Pressure Measuring principle Wrap the cuff around the upper arm. Inflate the cuff to a pressure exceeding the systolic blood pressure. Then, exhaust the air from the cuff gradually. While the pressure is detected in the cuff in the air exhaustion stage, the pulse waveform appears in synchronization with the heart rate.
Page 59
Causes of errors The pulse during blood pressure measurement is indicated in a graph, which can be an objective indicator of the reliability in the measurement accuracy. When noises occur due to irregular heart rhythm or physical movements, the amplitude changes abnormally in the graph. When it happens, blood pressure should be measured again, or be checked using other methods.
A-2 SpO Measuring principle Oxygen, bound to hemoglobin, is carried by blood. Hemoglobin that is bound to oxygen is called oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO ), and that is not bound to oxygen is called reduced hemoglobin (Hb). Arterial oxygen saturation is the percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood. Arterial oxygen saturation = HbO / (Hb+ HbO Oxygen-rich arterial blood is red while venous blood...
Page 61
Causes of errors In the pulse oximeter, adequate waveform implies the reliability. Always check the plethysmograph or bar graph for noises and disturbances. When noises or disturbances occur, check the probe Plethysmograph connection or patient condition. The following are the main causes of errors in arterial oxygen saturation measurement.
