Maintenance and Calibration

There are no user-serviceable parts in Prism or Prism SE monitors. MDE recommends a yearly
performance check to verify all functions on the Prism and Prism SE monitors. All maintenance
and calibration should be performed by qualified personnel only. Refer to Chapter 9 in the
ESCORT Prism or ESCORT Prism SE Patient Monitor Service Manual for periodic
maintenance and calibration instructions. If returned to MDE, the Prism/Prism SE must be
shipped in packaging specified by MDE.

Telemetry Monitoring

The Prism and Prism SE monitors have the ability to receive ECG plus other data from wireless
telemetry transmitters. Because the monitor can receive signals from approximately 200 different
remote transmitters, it is necessary to first set up all of the transmitter types and ID's of any
patients you may wish to monitor. This procedure was most likely done upon installation of the
monitors, but if it was not, or transmitters need to be added or removed, it is recommended that
service personnel perform this function because it requires power-up configuration of each
monitor.

CIS functions

Prism and Prism SE monitors equipped with MDE's CIS Module can share patient data with a
CIS (Clinical Information System). In order to accomplish this, the monitor must be set up with
the patient's name and ID to match patient data with the correct patient record in the CIS. If your
monitor is not equipped with a CIS Module, you can use this function to display the patient's
name/ID at the center/top of the screen. The information entered will also print in the tabular area
of a recording strip. Refer to the Clinical Information System section later in this manual.
