FUNCTION
The G3 Multi-Parameter Patient Monitor can be used to monitor the major parameters such as
electrocardiogram (ECG), body temperature (TEMP), impedance respiration (RESP), oxygen
saturation (SpO2), invasive blood pressure (IBP), noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) and CO2
(EtCO2 and FiCO2). It integrates the parameter measurement, display and record export as a whole,
which forms a compact and portable monitor.
The monitor is capable of monitoring the following parameters:
Electrocardiogram (ECG): heart rate (HR), 7 (or 3) leads ECG waveforms and ST segment
analysis.
Noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP): systolic pressure (SYS), diastolic pressure (DIA) and
mean arterial pressure (MAP).
Body temperature (TEMP): temperature of channel 1 (T1), temperature of channel 2 (T2)
and temperature difference between the two channels (T).
Pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2): SpO2, pulse rate (PR) and SpO2 plethysmogram.
Respiration: respiration rate (RR) and respiration (impedance respiration or nasal tube
respiration) waveform.
Invasive blood pressure (IBP): 2 channels of IBP waveforms, systolic pressure (SYS),
diastolic pressure (DIA) and mean pressure (MEAN).
Carbon dioxide (CO2): end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2), fractional inspiratory carbon
dioxide (FiCO2) and CO2 waveform.

BATTERIES
This monitor designed to operate on baterry power during intra-hosipital patient transfer or
whenever the power supply is interrupted. The battery is charged automatically when the monitor is
connected to AC power, no matter the monitor is powered on or not.
The battery symbol displayed on the main screen tells the status of the battery.
31
( or ) The battery is installed in the battery slot.The
grid part indicates its capacity.
(red and flashing) No battery is installed in the battery slot or
the electrical volume is to be exhausted.
Besides, the charge indicator also indicates the status of the battery.
ON The battery is being charged or the battery is fully
charged.
OFF No battery is installed or the battery is installed but the monitor is not connected

The capacity of the battery is limited. When the battery capacity is too low, a flashing red symbol
shows in the status bar. At this moment, the AC power shall be applied to the monitor.
NOTE
Take out the battery before the monitor is transported or will not be used for a long time.
WARNING
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
Only use the battery specified by the manufacturer.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Conditioning a Battery
A battery should be conditioned before it is used for the first time. A battery conditioning cycle is
one uninterrupted discharge of the battery. Batteries should be conditioned regularly to maintain
their useful life. Condition a battery once when it is used or stored for two months, or when its run
time becomes noticeably shorter.
To condition a battery, follow this procedure:
1. Disconnect the monitor from the patient and stop all monitoring or measuring.
2. Insert the battery in need of conditioning in the battery slot of the monitor.
3. Apply AC power to the monitor and allow the battery to charge uninterrupted for 10 hours.
4. Remove AC power and allow the monitor to run from the battery until it shuts off.
5. Apply AC power again to the monitor and allow the battery to charge uninterrupted for 10
hours.
6. This battery is now conditioned and the monitor can be returned to work.
Checking a Battery
The performance of a rechargeable battery may deteriorate over time. To check the performance of a
battery, follow this procedure:
1. Disconnect the monitor from the patient and stop all monitoring or measuring.
2. Apply AC power to the monitor and allow the battery to charge
uninterrupted for 10 hours.
32
3. Remove AC power and allow the monitor to run from the battery until it
shuts off.
4. The operating time of battery reflects its performance directly.
Please replace the battery or contact with the maintenance personnel if its
operating time is significantly lower than the specified time.
NOTE
Life expectancy of a battery depends on how frequent and how long it is used. For a
properly maintained and stored lead-acid or lithium ion battery, its life expectancy is
about 2 or 3 years respectively. For more aggressive use models, life expectancy can be
less. We recommend replacing lead acid batteries every 2 years and lithium ion batteries
every 3 years.
The battery might be damaged or malfunctioned if its operating time is too short after
being fully charged. The operating time depends on the configuration and operation. For
example, measuring NIBP more frequently will also shorten the operating time.
BATTERY RECYCLING
When a battery has visual signs of damage, or no longer holds a charge, it
should be replaced. Remove the old battery from the monitor and recycle it
properly. To dispose of the batteries, follow local laws for proper disposal.
WARNING
Do not disassemble batteries, or dispose of them in fire, or cause them to short circuit.
They may ignite, explode, leak or heat up, causing personal injury.

Physiological alarms
A physiological alarm either indicates that a monitored physiological parameter
is out of specified limit or indicates an abnormal patient condition.
Prompt information
Besides the physiological alarm, the monitor also displays the information related to the system. For
example, if a parameter module is turned on but the required leads or sensor
are not connected, the monitor will prompt accordingly, such as Lead Off in
the ECG and RESP channels, Sensor Off in the PLETH channel, or No Cuff
under the NIBP parameter, etc. Prompt information is usually displayed in the
channels area. But the prompt information relating to NIBP is displayed under
51
the NIBP value in the parameters area.
ALARM MODES
When an alarm occurs, the monitor raises the users attention by the following
audible or visual indications.
Visual alarms
When a measured physiological parameter value exceeds the preset alarm limit, the alarm
indicator on the front panel flashes in red once a second.
Audible alarms
When a measured physiological parameter value exceeds the preset alarm limit, the
monitor phonates a triple-beep tone each three seconds to prompt users.

TRENDS
OVERVIEW
The trend data is the patients data collected along with the time accumulation. The trends function
displays the patients status graph (trend graph) and status table (trend table) according to the trend
data and can be used for reviewing the waveforms and parameter values at a certain time to judge
and dispose about the patients status properly. If the monitor is equipped with a printer, the trend
graph can be printed.

CHAPTER 12:
ECG MONITORING
OVERVIEW
This Monitor adopts 5-lead (or 3-lead) ECG cable to collect the ECG signal from the patient, and it
can simultaneously display seven (or three) leads of ECG signal. ECG channel displayed on the top
part of the screen is the major channel of the ECG signal, and its lead is called the major lead. The
Monitor calculates the heart rate value and controls the gain (if set in automatic mode) according to
the data of the main lead. All leads adopt the same gain and same measurement mode. The Monitor
can separately check whether the connection of a lead has fallen off, and display the promt
information in corresponding channel.
1.Measurement of ECG
The electro-chemical activity of Excitable cell will produce physiological current
to cardiac muscle before the mechanical shrinkage of heart, the close movement
current produced by the process of heart exciting will flow within the human body and
transport to all parts, it results in the different voltage on the different surface of body.
The clinic Electrocardiography is to record the voltage difference real time.
Figure 2.1 is the Electrocardiography

2.1 Figure
1.1Electrode of ECG
Current within human body is conducted by hydronium, while its by electron in
metal conductor, so there should be a conversion medium to convert the hydronium
current to electron current, which will help realize the necessary connection between
the human body and patient monitor, electrode is to play the role to realize the
transformation. The widely used electrode for clinic monitoring is AgAg.Cl disposable
electrode.
Our patient monitor adopts five leads ECG cable to collect signal of patients ECG.
It displays synchronously seven ECG waveforms. The fixed channel of ECG displayed
on the upper position is the main one of ECG signal, we call the ECG lead which the
main channel choose main lead, patient monitor calculate the value of heart rate and
control the gain based on it (if them monitor is set to model of Auto gain). We have the
same gain control and test mode to all leads, the patient monitor is able to check
whether the corresponding electrode of leads is fall off and display it on screen.
The ECG cable includes two parts: main stem cable which connected to patient monitor and
Lead cable electrode which connected to patients, usually the ECG cable has five electrodes, please
note below items when place the electrodes to patients:
It usually chooses Ag-AgCL one-off electrode, please make sure the electrodes are during the
period of validity. It will result in inaccurate data if use the incompetent electrodes.
2 Pretreatment of skin
Its necessary to pre-treat the skin of patient to ensure the good touch between electrode and
patient since the skin is not a good conductor.
(1) Clean the skin with soap and water instead of aether and alcohol since the later two will
increase the resistance of skin.
(2) Shave off the fur of body where to place the electrode if necessary.
(3) Rub skin to increase the blood floor of capillary vessel of organization and get ride of the
horn and grease.
75
(4) Place the electrode to patient, please apply conductive cream before the electrode is put to
patient if the electrode do not have conductive cream.
ECG MONITORING
In order to monitor the patients ECG, we use a five-electrode ECG cable by which we can get more
than 12 selective ECG leads. If a lead is effective, the corresponding waveform will be displayed in
the channels area.
The ECG cable includes two parts: the main cable connecting the Monitor and the electrode lead line
connecting the patient.
PREPARATION
1. Select electrode
Generally, the electrode for monitoring is disposable electrode made from Ag-AgCl (silver -
silver chloride). But before use, you shall confirm that the electrode is within the valid date. If
the unqualified electrode is used, it will lead to inaccurate monitoring result.
2. Skin pretreatment
Because the skin is not a good conductor, if you want to gain good contact between the skin and
the electrode, before installing the electrode, you shall carry out skin pretreatment at first.
(1) If necessary, shave hair from skin at choosen site.
(2) Rub the skin to accelerate the blood flow in the blood capillary of organs and remove the
horny layer and greases of the skin.
(3) Thoroughly cleanse the site with mild soap and water solution, but do not use the aether
or pure alcohol, because it will increase skin resistance.
(4) Dry the skin completely before applying the electrodes.
3. Attach the ECG lead to the electrodes prior to placement.
4. Place the electrode on the patient. If the conductive ointment is not applied to the
electrodes, apply it before the placement.
5. Connect the electrode lead to the patient cable.
6. Confirm the Monitor is powered on and is ready for monitoring.
ELECTRODE PLACEMENT
(1) For the placement of the fivelead ECG electrode, refer to the figure as shown in Figure 12-1.
76
NOTE
The sign name and color of the electrode shown above is American standard, while inside
the brackets ( ) is European standard.
White (right arm or RA) electrode: near the right shoulder, directly below the
clavicle.
Black (left arm or LA) electrode: near the left shoulder, directly below the clavicle.
Green (right leg or RL) electrode: on the right abdomen.
Red (left leg or LL) electrode: on the left abdomen.
Brown (chest or V) electrode: on the chest.
(2) When using five leads, attach the chest (V) electrode to one of the
following positions indicated in Figure 12-2:
Red (green)
NOTE
Select the place with stable ECG signal or little inference of skeleton activities to place the
78
electrodes.
WARNING
In order to ensure the patients safety, all leads shall be connected to the patient.
The electrode shall be fixed properly to ensure the reliable contact of the conductor with
skin.
Interference from a non-grounded instrument near the patient and ESU interference can
cause inaccuracy of the ECG waveform.
When using Electrosurgery equipment, never place the ECG electrodes near the
grounding plate of the Electrosurgery device. This will cause a great deal of interference
with the ECG signal. The patient leads should be placed in a position that is equal
distance from the Electrosurgery electrotome and the grounding plate to avoid burns to
the patient.
Always dispose of, or recycle electrodes properly to prevent from environment
contamination.
Verify the lead fault detection prior to the start of monitoring. Unplug the ECG cable
from the ECG connector, the flashing error message Lead Off will be displayed in the
corresponding ECG channel.
Skin irritation may result from the continuous application of the ECG electrodes. These
should be checked each day. If there is an indication of excess skin irritation, replace the
electrodes or change the location of the electrodes every 24 hours.
ECG CHANNEL
MAIN LEAD CHANNEL
The top part of the channels area that cannot be changed to any other channels is called as the main
lead channel, shown as below:
Lead
79
Select this button, the main lead switches among I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF and V. In order to get
accurate heart rate and gain control performance, the doctor shall select the lead of large range
and little noise as the main lead.
In order to avoid emerging leads repeatedly, when the lead in the current channel is switched,
the leads in the other channels will be changed automatically.
Gain Mode
Select this button, the gain mode switches between AUTO and MANUAL modes.
Gain means the magnification times for the ECG waveform signal. This monitor has five
magnification times that are 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 and 4. The 1 is one time magnification,
under which the range of the scale at the left side of the ECG waveform is 1mV. Then
under the condition of 2 magnification, the range of the scale is 0.5mV, and so on.
Detailed data refers to the following table:
Under 1 ECG and Huge Digit display format, the length of the scale is 10mm. The
waveform of 10mm diaplayed under 1 magnification times means the ECG signal is 1mV,
under 2 means 0.5mV.
NOTE
All leads including the main lead and other leads adopt the same gain.
This Monitor provides two methods to regulate the ECG waveform range:
AUTO mode: Under the AUTO mode, according to the main lead waveform data, the
Monitor will automatically regulate the gain to amplify the ECG waveform of the main
lead without the distortion as possible. The defect of this mode is slow regulation speed.
MANUAL mode: Under this mode, the Monitor doesnt regulate the ECG gain
automatically. At this time, the ECG gain is regulated via the Adjust Gain button. The
feature of this mode is fast response that the waveform will change immediately after the
gain is regulated, and the waveform can be amplified to a distortion status to display.
Adjust Gain
Manually regulates the ECG gain. After selecting this button, regulate the gain via the rotating
mouse. Rotate counterclockwise, the gain and waveform range become smaller, while rotate
clockwise, the gain and waveform range become larger. After the accomplishment of the
regulation, press down the rotating mouse again to exit the gain adjusting mode.
Mode
The Mode means the filter bandwidth of the ECG channel. The monitor has three modes:
diagnosis (DIA), monitoring (MON) and operation (OPR). Under the DIA mode, the filter
bandwidth is the widest, and the detailed information of the ECG signal can be got. The more
detailed information is helpful to more accurately judge the status of the ECG signal. But when
the importation of the detailed information, the environmental noise, such as HF electrotome,
80
may be imported too. The noise mixes with the real ECG signal, so that the ECG signal cannot
be distinguished. In order to adapt to the noise interference situation, the Monitor also provides
two measurement modes, namely the MON mode and the OPR mode. Under these two modes,
narrower bandwidth is adopted to measure and gain smoother signal. The user can make
choices according to the exact situations, and the comparing data are as followings:
NOTE
All leads including the main lead and other leads adopt the same mode.
Waveform Speed
Select this button to regulate the waveform speed for parameters relating to ECG, including all
ECG channels and PLETH channel. It has four speeds such as 6.25 mm/s, 12.5 mm/s, 25 mm/s
and 50 mm/s.

HR Source
Auto: The monitor determines the heart rate source depending on the signal quality. ECG
takes priority of SpO2. Only when the ECG signal is bad and cannot be analyzed, the heart
rate source is SpO2. If the ECG signal becomes normal, the HR source changes to ECG
automatically.
ECG: HR is always calculated from ECG.
SpO2: If the ECG signal is seriously interfered, you can select SpO2, which means PR will
be derived from PLETH waveform. In this case, PR (SpO2) is displayed instead of
ECG (I, II, etc.) while the PR reading is displayed below. The monitor activates pulse
beeps instead of heartbeat beeps.
The heart rate source mark and heart rate label clearly show the current heart rate source. The
list is as the following:

CHAPTER 13:
RESP MONITORING
OVERVIEW
This Monitor measures out the respiration movement waveform by the ECG cable with the
impedance method. This respiration movement waveform is used to calculate the respiration rate and
analyse the respiration status.
The Monitor can measure three lead respiratory waveforms such as I, II or III lead, of which, the II
lead is generally used. Because of the different signal strength, the Monitor provides AUTO and
MANUAL modes to adjust the gain. The respiratory waveform will be clear and without distortion if
an appropriate gain is adopted.
ELECTRODE PLACEMENT
The impedance respiration method of this Monitor is to monitor the patients respiration by the
impedance variation between the two electrocardiogram electrodes of I, II or III lead. Since the
same electrodes are used for ECG and RESP monitoring, the electrode
placement is very important. Some patients, due to their clinical condition,
expand their chest laterally, causing a negative intrathoracic pressure. In these
cases it is better to place the two electrodes used for RESP monitoring laterally
in the right axillary and left lateral chest areas, at the maximum point of the
breathing movement, to optimize the respiratory waveform.
NOTE
RESP monitoring is not recommended on very active patients, because it will cause false
alarms.
Place the red and white electrodes diagonally to optimize the respiration waveform.
Try to avoid placing the electrodes so the liver area and the ventricles of the heart are in
path between the electrodes used for respiration, to avoid cardiac artifact to overlay on
the ECG. This is particularly important when monitoring neonate patients.

MONITORING INTERFACE
The RESP monitoring displays a RESP waveform in channels area and the measured respiration
rate value in parameters area.
RESP CHANNEL
The movement of the thorax in the moment of the respiration will cause the
variation of the human bodys impedance, the range of the variation is about 0.1 3,
G3 Monitor immits the human body a safe electric current which is 0.5 5mA by using
two electrode of the ECG lead with the 20K 100KHZ carrier frequency sinusoidal
constant current, and then mesures out the difference of respiration impendace from
electrode LLRA . This difference of the respiration impedance shows the dynamic
waveform of respiration
Using the impedance respiration method, G3 Monitor can measure out the human body
respiration movement waveform by using the electrocardiogram lead line, and this
respiration movement waveform can be used to the calculation of the human body
respiration rate and the analyse of the human body respiration status.
The G3 Monitor measure three lead respiration waveforms according to the selection
such as I, II, III, the II lead is generally used. Because of the different signal strength,
the Monitor provides two kinds of gain adjustment functions : automatic adjustment and
manual adjustment, it can make the respiration waveform clear and without distortion by
adopting appropriate gain.
The impedance respiration method of this Monitor is to monitor the patients respiration
by the impedance variation between the two electrocardiogram electrodes. The
respiration monitoring is realized via the electrocardiogram I, II or III lead and their

corresponding electrodes, so no additional electrodes are required, and the installation
of the electrode is very important. For some patient, because of their clinical situation,
the horizontal expansion of the thoracic cage leads to the negativity thoracic cage
internal pressure, under this situation, it is better to put the two respiration electrodes at
the central line of the right armpit or the most active area on the left side of the thoracic
cage when breathing, so that the optimum respiration wave is gained.
We suggest installing five lead electrodes for the respiration monitoring, as shown in
Figure 3.4
Notice
The respiration monitoring is not recommended to be used on the patient
who will move or be moved a lot, because it will lead to mis-alarm.
In order to obtain optimum respiration wave, the white and the red
electrodes shall be installled catercorner. Avoid putting the liver and the
ventricle on connecting line, which can avoid the false difference
produced by the heart coverage or pulsation blood flow, this is very
important in the using for neonate.

CHAPTER 15:
NIBP MONITORING
OVERVIEW
The non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) module measures blood pressure using the
oscillometric method. This monitor can be applied to adult, pediatric and neonate patients. Three
measurements are available: manual, auto and continuous. Each mode displays the
systolic pressure (SYS), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and diastolic pressure (DIA).
Manual: Pressing the NIBP key on the front panel starts a NIBP measurement.
in five minutes.
NIBP measurement adopts vibration method. The principle is to charge air to blood
pressure cuff to the degree that arteries are pressed completely and the blood flowing is
blocked. And while the cuff is deflated gradually, the arteries are in the process of utter
90
blocking, gradual loosing and unobstructing. In this process the artery pressure
pulsation will generate air oscillating waves in the cuff. Theoretic arithmetic and
experiments indicates that oscillating waves have defined correspondence with artery
systolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. Hence
systolic blood pressure, mean blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure can be
measured by analyzing measurement results and pressure oscillating waves in the cuff.
When the blood pressure measurement process starts up, the Monitor charges the air
into the blood pressure cuff, the human body blood pressure, including the systolic
blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean pressure are measured out via the
sensors, a measurement process is about 40 seconds.
There are three start-up methods for blood pressure measurement, one is manual
measurement mode, the other is automatic measurement mode, and the third is
consecutive measurement mode.

Measurement
1. Korotkoff Sound Method, widely-adopted in clinics, is similar to vibration method. But there are
many coherent defects in Korotkoff Sound Method. It primarily relies on the coordination between
mans vision and hearing, thus the method is rather subjective and unduplicated. Therefore the
results by Korotkoff Sound Method can not be applied to evaluate the results by vibration method.
2. Human arterial blood pressure is a changeable physiological parameter, related
with the patients emotion, psychological change, posture and position during the
measurement. So it should be considered in measurement and evaluation.
3. The vibration measurement bases on the oscillating waves in cuff, so the
oscillation from the outside and the movement of the patients arm will affect the
measurement results. The serious consequence is the failure in the measurement. It
needs measuring again.
91
The noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) measurement adopts the succussion;
It is applicable to adult, pediatric and neonate.
The measurement mode: manual, automatic and consecutive. Each mode displays
systolic blood pressure, mean pressure and diastolic blood pressure.
MONITORING PROCEDURE
To perform NIBP measurement on a patient, follow the procedure as below:
1. Power on the monitor.
2. Check the patient type. If the patient type is incorrect, select a correct
patient type in Patient Information dialog box.
3. Plug the air hose in the NIBP cuff connector of the monitor.
4. Apply a cuff of proper size to the upper arm or the leg of the patient.
5. Connect the cuff with the air hose.
6. Press the NIBP key on the front panel to start the NIBP measurement.
NOTE
The width of the cuff should be either 40% of the limb circumference (50% for neonates)
or 2/3 of the upper arm length. The inflatable part of the cuff should be long enough to
circle 50-80% of the limb. The wrong size cuff can cause erroneous readings. If the cuff
size is in question, use a larger cuff.
The limb chosen for taking the measurement should be placed at
the same level as the patient's heart. If this is not possible, use the
following method to correct the measurement result:
92
If the cuff is placed higher than the heart level, add 0.75mmHg
(0.10 kPa) for each centimeter of difference, or 1.9mmHg (0.25kPa)
for each inch of difference.
If it is placed lower than the heart level, deduct 0.75 mmHg
(0.10 kPa) for each centimeter of difference, or 1.9mmHg (0.25kPa)
for each inch of difference.
If you are in doubt about the accuracy of any reading(s), check the patient's vital signs
by an alternative method before checking the function of the monitor.
WARNING
Use only the specified accessories for monitoring, or it will lead to the malfunction of the
Monitor.
You must not perform NIBP measurements on patients with sickle-cell disease or under
any condition where the skin is damaged or expected to be damaged.
For a thrombasthemia patient, it is important to determine whether measurement of the
blood pressure shall be done automatically.
Ensure that the setting is correctly made when performing measurements on children.
Incorrect patient type setting may cause a danger to the patient because adult blood
pressure level is higher than children.
Before the measurement, you shall confirm your configuration is suitable to the patient
(adult, pediatric or neonate).
Do not apply the cuff to a limb that has an intravenous infusion or catheter in place. This
could cause tissue damage around the catheter when infusion is slowed or blocked during
cuff inflation.
Auto non-invasive blood pressure measurements performed in long intervals may incur
ischemia and neuropathy in the limb wearing the cuff. When monitoring a patient,
examine the extremities of the limb frequently for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If
any abnormality is observed, change the position of the cuff on the patient or stop the
blood pressure measurements immediately.
Make sure the air tubing connecting the blood pressure monitor is not blocked, twisted, or
tangled.
MEASUREMENT LIMITATIONS
Non-invasive blood pressure measurement uses the oscillometric method of
measurement. The monitor detects the regular arterial pressure pulse. In some
circumstances when the patient's condition makes it difficult to detect this
pulse, the measurement becomes unreliable and the measurement time
increases. You should be aware that the following conditions could interfere with
93
the measurement, make the measurement unreliable, prolong the
measurement, or even make a measurement impossible.
Patient movement: E.g.The patient is moving, shivering or jerking.
irregular heartbeat.
Heart-lung machine: E.g. Measurements will be impossible if the patient is
period of time during which the arterial pressure pulses are being analyzed
to obtain the measurement.
Severe shock: E.g.If the patient is in severe shock or hypothermia, reduced
blood flow to the peripheries will cause reduced pulsation of the arteries.
Heart rate extremes: The monitor is unable to perform pressure measurements
at a heart rate of less than 15 bpm and greater than 300 bpm.
MONITORING INTERFACE
The NIBP measurement does not produce any waveform. Instead, it displays the
measurement result in the parameters area as shown below.

FUNCTIONS
The NIBP monitoring has two functions, one is NIBP measurement, and the other is the
95
venipuncture function.
NIBP MEASUREMENT
When the NIBP measurement starts, the Monitor inflates the air into the cuff, and the SYS, DIA and
MAP are measured out via the sensor. A measurement process lasts about 40 seconds.
There are three NIBP measurement modes, one is manual mode, the other is auto mode, and the
third is continuous mode.
Manual mode
Select the Auto Manual button in the NIBP menu, if word MANUAL is displayed at the position ,
the manual mode is selected. In this mode, a NIBP measurement shall be started manually by
pressing the NIBP key on the front panel. Before manual NIBP measurement, the max cuff pressure
should be set to a proper value.
Auto mode
Select the Auto Manual button in the NIBP menu, if word AUTO is displayed at the position , the
auto mode is selected. In this mode, the monitor periodically starts the NIBP measurement
automatically at the preset time interval.
The auto mode has two statuses, one is the stay status. In this status, the clock at position stays,
and the auto measurement has not been started yet. The other status is the running status. In this
status, the clock at position runs, and the auto measurement has been started. The clock at
position indicates how much time still remains for the next measurement.
In the stay status, press the NIBP key to start the auto measurement. At this time, the clock at
position begins to run. Switching to the manual mode, then switching back to the auto mode can
stop the auto measurement. Pressing the NIBP key during the NIBP measurement can stop the
measurement and switch the running status to stay status.
Continuous mode
Selecting the Stat Test button in the NIBP menu starts a continuous measurement which is provided
for surgical or emergent patient. Its feature is that it continuously measures NIBP for five minutes
once it is started, and the measurement mode adopted is simpler than other modes. After five
minutes, the monitor restores to the status (auto or manual) before the continuous measurement.
NOTE
Whether in the auto or manual mode, pressing the NIBP key on the front panel will start
a NIBP measurement.
Pressing the NIBP key during the NIBP measurement stops the ongoing measurement and
deflates the cuff.
VENIPUNCTURE
Under the venipuncture mode, the monitor inflates the air into the cuff to a preset pressure, and
keeps the pressure during the preset time, then deflates.
Select the Venous Puncture button in the NIBP menu, the following dialog box pops up.

CHAPTER 17:
SpO2 MONITORING
OVERVIEW
SpO2 measurement is based on two principles: Firstly, oxyhemoglobin and
deoxyhemoglobin differ in their absorption of red and infrared light. Secondly,
the volume of arterial blood in tissue changes during the pulse. A monitor
determines SpO2 (oxygen saturation) by passing red and infrared light into an
arteriolar bed and measuring changes in light absorption during the pulsatile
cycle. Red and infrared low-voltage light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the sensor
serve as light sources, a photodiode serves as the photo detector.
Because oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin differ in light absorption, the
amount of red and infrared light absorbed by blood is related to hemoglobin
oxygen saturation. To identify the oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin, the
monitor uses the pulsatile nature of arterial flow. During systole, a new pulse of
arterial blood enters the vascular bed, and the blood volume and light
absorption increase. During diastole, the blood volume and light absorption
reach their lowest point. The monitor bases its SpO 2 measurements on the
difference between maximum and minimum 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.
The monitor determines SpO2 and pulse rate by passing two wavelengths of light, one red and one
infrared, through body tissue to a photodetector. During measurement, the signal strength resulting
from each light source depends on the color and thickness of the body tissue, the probe placement,

The monitor processes these signals, separating the time invariant parameters (tissue thickness, skin
color, light intensity, and venous blood) from the time variant parameters (arterial volume and

can be performed because oxygen saturated blood predictably absorbs less red light than oxygen
depleted blood.
The monitor can be used under low perfusion with same accuracy as normal

PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
The monitor can overestimate the SpO2 value in the presence of Hb-CO, Met-Hb or dye
106
dilution chemicals.
ES (Electrosurgery) equipment wire and SpO2 cable must not be tangled up. Carefully
route patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.
Do not use this instrument and the sensors during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Induced current could potentially cause burns. The monitor may affect the MRI image,
and the MRI unit may affect the accuracy of the oximetry measurements.
Do not put the SpO2 sensor on the limb with arterial catheter or venous syringe.
Do not perform SpO2 monitoring and NIBP measurements on the same arm
simultaneously. Obstruction of blood flow during NIBP measurements may adversely
affect the reading of the SpO2 value.
Before performing the testing, check the sensor cable. After unplugging the SpO2 sensor
cable from the socket, the system shall display the flashing prompt information "Sensor
Off" above the PLETH waveform.
Prolonged and continuous monitoring may increase the risk of burns at the site of the
sensor. It is especially important to check the sensor placement, and ensure proper
attachment on neonates and patients of poor perfusion or skin sensitive to light. Check the
sensor location every 23 hours and move to another location if the skin deteriorates.
More frequent examinations may be required for different patients.
NOTE
Place the SpO2 sensor cable at the backside of the patient hand. Make sure the fingernail
is just opposite to the light emitted from the sensor.
MONITORING PROCEDURE
Follow the procedure as below:
1. Power on the monitor.
2. Attach the sensor to the proper site on the patient.
3. Plug the connector of the sensor extension cable into the SpO2 connector on
monitor.
The process of SpO2 plethysmogram measurement is generally the same. But
the SpO2 sensor selection and placement depend on the patient type. When
choosing a site for a sensor, refer to the directions for that sensor.
MEASUREMENT LIMITATIONS
If the accuracy of any measurement does not seem reasonable, first check the
patients vital signs by an alternate method. Then check the instrument for
proper function. Inaccurate measurements may be caused by:
Incorrect sensor application or use;

IBP CHANNELS
The monitor provides two channels to measure the invasive blood pressure (IBP, including systolic,
diastolic and mean pressures), and displays two channels of waveforms and two parameters. The two
channels of waveforms are displayed in a same or different waveform area, differentiated by color.
When the two curves overlapped, the curve color will be the color of channel 2. The figure below is
the channels displayed in different waveform area:
110
0 mmHg
The bottom horizontal line indicates the location of zero pressure. If a curve dot is displayed higher
than this line, it means the pressure of this dot is positive; accordingly, the pressure of the dot, which
is lower than this line, is negative.
The top horizontal line indicates the maximum pressure of current display gain. The curve line
where its pressure is higher than the maximum pressure will be clipped and becomes a section of
horizontal line.
The height of the waveforms relates to the pressure. And the ratio between height and pressure is
specified. Maximum value and Minimum value are listed in the following table:
The monitor can automatically select a proper ratio according to the phase of the waveform. It also
provides a function to adjust the ratio manually. Here we call it two gain modes: Auto mode and
Manual mode.

PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Use only the IBP transducer specified in this manual. Disposable IBP transducers should
not be reused.
Parts and accessories used must meet the safety requirements of the medical electrical
equipment standards.
Avoid conductive connection to the applied part likely to degrade safety.
When the monitor is used with high frequency surgical equipment, do not allow the
transducer and the cable contact the high frequency surgical equipment to prevent the
patient from burning caused by leakage current.
MONITORING PROCEDURE
1. Plug the pressure cable into the IBP connector on the monitor and power on

switches the label of this channel.
Zero
In the first time we select this button, the corresponding channel will perform zero process. And
selecting this button again will terminate the zeroing. The system will treat the detected absolute
pressure value as the relative zero point. This zero point affects both the pressure values and the
114
waveforms of the channel.
Zeroing procedure:
1. Disconnect the transducer from the patient.
2. Adjust the 3-way stopcock to close the channel leading to the patient. The
transducer is open to the atmosphere through the stopcock.
3. Select the Zero button in the IBP channel menu to start zeroing.
NOTE
The zeroing funciton is noneffective in sensor off status, it is effective only when the sensor
is connected to the monitor.
Position the transducer at the same level with the patients heart, approximately mid-
axillary line.
Perform the pressure zeroing when the monitor is powered on and at measuring intervals
(at least once per day). The zeroing should also be conducted once the transducer cable or
catheter is changed.
Ensure the catheter is static. In the catheter static status, the zeroing will be completed
soon.

stickiness of the cable should not be considered abnormal. If it is necessary to
remove the adhesive tape residue from the transducer cable, the double seal
tape remover is recommended; use the remover with special caution to
minimize the damage to the cable. Acetone, Alcohol, Ammonia and Chloroform,
or other strong solvents are not recommended because they are harmful to the
vinyl cabling if used for a long time.
NOTE
The disposable transducers or domes must not be reused.
To avoid contamination, the disposable transducers or domes must be reclaimed or
disposed of properly, complying with the local laws.
STERILIZATION
Chemical Solution Sterilization
After finishing the cleaning, select an effective sterilant for chemical solution
sterilization of the operating room equipment. Buffered glutaraldehyde (e.g.
Cidex or Hospisept) is recommended. Do not use quaternary cationic detergents
such as zephiran chloride. If the whole unit is to be sterilized, immerse the
transducer but not the electrical connector into the sterilant for the
recommended sterilizing period. Ensure that the dome has been removed. Then
rinse all transducer parts except the electrical connector with sterilized water or
saline. The transducer must be thoroughly dried before storing.
Gas Sterilization
For more complete asepsis, use gas sterilization. The transducer should be
completely dry after cleaning. When ethylene oxide gas is used as the gas
disinfectant, follow the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of
the gas disinfectant.
NOTE
The disinfectant temperature must not exceed 70C (158F). Plastics in the pressure
transducer may deform or melt above this temperature.

CHAPTER 19:
CO2 MONITORING
INTRODUCTION
CO2 monitoring is to monitor the respiration of patient by detecting the concentration of CO 2
generated during respiration. The maximum concentration of CO2 at the end of exhalation is called
End-Tidal CO2 (EtCO2). The minimum concentration of CO2 at the end of inspiration is called
Fractional Inspiratory CO2 (FiCO2). CO2 is generated by cells in the body during metabolizing, and
is breathed out via breath system. The concentration of CO2 breathed out from lung reflects directly
the situation of metabolizing and breathe system. If the concentration of CO 2 is high, it means that
metabolizing is excited, such as blood poisoning or acute fever. If the concentration of CO2 is low, it
is commonly because the output ability of heart is weak, or the heart stop beating, or the lung soak
for the flux of blood is low or oxygen it carried is not enough. Monitoring CO2 is used to warn the
doctor of the abnormal of breathe and metabolizing for hocused patient.
The concentration of CO2 is represented as a pressure level, with mmHg, kPa or % as its unit.
Generally, the acceptable value is 38mmHg (5.1kPa or 5%) when air pressure is 760mmHg. The
concentration of CO2 varies very fast from 0% to 5% normally. To detect the concentration of CO2
accurately, the monitor has to be very sensitive.
MONITORING PROCEDURE
Follow the procedure specified below to monitor the CO2.
1. Plug the dehydration vase into its receptacle, then push its bottom carefully to its position,
shown as the figure below:
Sampling line

EtCO2 or FiCO2 value exceeds the preset alarm limit.
Alarm disabled: Icon is displayed on the left side of the EtCO2 label, the CO2 alarm is turned
off, and the monitor does not generate alarms when the measured EtCO2 or
FiCO2 value exceeds the preset alarm limit.
Alarm Setting: Selecting this button pops up the following Set Alarm Limits dialog box.
The upper alarm limits, lower alarm limits, alarm switches and alarm printing switches of
EtCO2 and FiCO2 can be set in this dialog box. See ALARM SETTINGS in CHAPTER 5 for
detailed information.
Concent. Unit: Select this button, the concentration unit switches among mmHg, kPa and %.
119
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
In case of an exception in the sampling system of the CO2 module, check for
entanglement of the sampling line. If the sampling line is not entangled, remove
the dehydration vase. In this situation, if the dehydration vase is not blocked,
the sampling line must have been blocked, and you must replace it with a new
one. If the dehydration vase has been blocked, you should replace it with a new
dehydration vase.
WARNING
The sampling line is disposable, must not re-sterilize or reuse it.
Do not press or limit the sampling line.
The dehydration vase is used to collect water drops condensed in the sampling airway and
prevent water drops from entering the module. When the collected water reaches to a
certain amount, remove the water to avoid blocking the airway.
In the long-term use, dust or other substances may lower the air permeability of the filter
material in the dehydration vase and may block the airway. In this situation, the
dehydration vase must be replaced.
NOTE
The sampling line must be recycled or disposed of properly, complying with the local laws.
