Connect the patient to the monitor, and the monitor will display and store the physiological
data of the patient, so the patient can be monitored without admitting the patient. However,
admitting the patient correctly is very important.
If the monitor has admitted the patient, it is recommended to operate the monitor to discharge
the current patient before connecting to (not admitted) the next patient. Otherwise, the data of
the previous patient will be stored in the data of the current patient.
Warning
Whether the patient is admitted or not, the system will give a default value to
[Patient Cat.] and [Paced], and the user must confirm that the default value is
appropriate for the patient being monitored.
For patients with pacemakers, [Paced] must be set to [Yes]. Otherwise, the
pacing pulse will be treated as normal QRS wave group, and the system is
unable to detect the alarm status of [ECG Signal weak].
For patients without a pacemaker, [Paced] must be set to [No]. Otherwise, the

Chapter7 Alarm
Alarm means that the monitor prompts the medical staff through sound and light when the
patient being monitored has abnormal changes in vital signs or the monitor has a failure and
is unable to monitor the patient successfully.
Warning
In any single region (e.g. ICU), it has potential dangers if the same or similar devices use
different alarm setups.
Note
After setting, the alarm and other parameters of the monitor won’t be lost when the
system power is cut off, unless modified manually; connect the power again (external
and internal) and turn on the monitor, it will resume normal working, and the alarm
and other parameters remain unchanged.
According to the nature of the alarm, the alarms of the monitor can be divided into
physiological alarms, technical alarms and prompt messages.
Physiological alarms
Technical alarms
Technical alarm is also known as a system error message, which is caused by improper
operation or system failure resulting in system malfunction or monitoring result distorted.
The information of technical alarm is displayed in the technical alarm area on top of the
screen.
Prompt messages
- 31 -
NR-TP-0715-008_3.0_cn
Strictly speaking, the prompt messages are not alarms. The monitor also will display some
information associated with system status in addition to the physiological alarms and
technical alarms, and generally such information do not involve the patient's vital signs. The
prompt messages generally appear in the technical alarm area and parameters area.
According to the severity of the alarm, the physiological alarms of the monitor can be divided
into high level, medium level and low level.
The patient is in critical condition that is life-threatening, and should be immediately rescued;
Or the monitor has a serious mechanical failure or malfunction, causing it unable to detect the
patient's critical state and endangering the patient’s life.
The patient's physiological signs are abnormal, and appropriate measures or treatment should
be taken immediately;
Or although it won’t endanger the patient’s life, the mechanical failure or misoperation of the
monitor will affect the normal monitoring of key physiological parameters.
The patient's physiological signs are abnormal, and appropriate measures or treatment may
need to be taken;
The levels of all technical alarms and some physiological alarms have been set in the monitor
at the factory and cannot be modified by the user. The levels of some physiological alarms
can be modified.
When an alarm occurs, the monitor uses the following audible or visual alarm to prompt the
user:
- 32 -
NR-TP-0715-008_3.0_cn
Light alarm
Audible alarm
Alarm info
Parameter flashing
Of which, the light alarm, audible alarm, and alarm info distinguish the alarm levels in a
different manner respectively.
When an alarm occurs, the alarm indicator will flash in different colors and frequencies to
prompt the alarm level.
An audible alarm is that the monitor prompts the alarm levels with different sound
characteristics when an alarm occurs.
High level alarm: Beep - beep - beep -- beep - beep ---- beep - beep - beep -- beep - beep
Medium level alarm: Beep - beep - beep
Low level alarm: Beep
Alarm info refers to that the physiological or technical alarm area of the monitor will display
the corresponding alarm information when an alarm occurs. The system will distinguish the
alarm levels with different background colors:
The following flags in front of physiological alarms are used to distinguish the alarm levels:
When a physiological parameter of the patient alarms, the parameter values in the parameter
area will flash once per second, and the upper limit and lower limit of the parameter will also
flash at the same frequency, indicating that the parameter exceeds the upper limit or lower
limit.
In addition to the above alarm modes, you can also set the monitor to the following four
alarm states as needed, and display different alarm icons on the screen:
Alarm silence
Alarm pause
Alarm off
7.4.1 Silence
Select [Silence] smart hotkey, and you can temporarily turn off the alarm sound of
currently occurring physiological alarms of the monitor, but the alarm information is still
retained. For technical alarms, clear the alarm state, display alarm prompt information only
and the monitor enters alarm silence state, and the alarm state icon area displays the
icon. When a new physiological alarm or technical alarm occurs, the alarm silence is
automatically canceled.
The alarm sound can be turned off through the following operations:
Select [User Maintenance >>] →enter the password and confirm → [User Maintenance]
menu;
Select [Alarm Param >>] → [Ala.Para Setup] menu;
- 34 -
NR-TP-0715-008_3.0_cn

Chapter8 SpO2
8.1 Overview
Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) is the percentage of oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) capacity bound
by oxygen in the blood in the total hemoglobin (Hb) capacity that can be combined, that is,
the concentration of oxygen in the blood.
The pulse oximeter is to be operated by, or under the supervision of, qualified personnel only.
The manual, accessories, directions for use, all precautionary information, and specifications
should be read before use.
The principle for monitoring the pulse SpO2 is to fix the probe fingerstall on the patient’s
finger, use the finger as a transparent container for hemoglobin, use 660nm wavelength red
light and 880nm near-infrared light as the incident light, maximum output power is 300 mw,
measure the light transmission intensity through the tissue bed, and calculate the
concentration of hemoglobin and SpO2.
The passing lights depend on a variety of factors, most of which are constant. However, one
of these factors, the arterial blood flow, changes with time, as it is pulsating. By measuring
the light absorbed during pulsating, it is possible to obtain the arterial blood SpO2. Detection
pulsation can give a “plethysmography” wave and pulse rate signal.
This monitor applies to measure SPO2 of adults (>18 years), pediatric (30 Days to18 years).
Contact SPO2 probe to Patient’s finger to get “SPO2” value and “plethysmography” wave
Warning
Please use SpO2 sensor specified in this Manual, operate in accordance with the
Manual, and observe all warnings and precautions.

NR-TP-0715-008_3.0_cn
Before monitoring, check whether the sensor cable is normal. When SPO2 sensor
cable is unplugged from the socket, the screen will display [SPO2Sensor OFF]
error message, and trigger an audible and visual alarm simultaneously.
If the sensor or sensor packaging has signs of damage, do not use this SPO2 sensor;
return it to the manufacturer.
If there is carboxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin or dye diluted chemical, the SPO2
value will have deviation.
When the patient has a tendency to hypoxia, use the oximeter to analyze blood
samples in order to fully grasp the patient's condition.
Do not put the sensor on limbs with arterial duct or intravenous tube.
Do not intertwine electrosurgical equipment cable with the sensor cable.
Avoid using the monitor and sensors while using the NMR equipment, in order to
avoid severe burns to the patient as a result of induced currents.
During long time continuous monitoring of a patient, check the position of SpO2
sensor once every 2 hours, and move properly when the skin changes or every four
hours. Some patients may require more frequent inspection, such as patients with
perfusion disorders or sensitive skin, because persistent and prolonged monitoring
may increase unpredictable skin changes, such as allergies, redness, blistering or
pressure necrosis.
Carefully select SpO2 alarm upper limit. High oxygen level will cause crystal-like
fibrous tissue disease to premature children.
Note
Do not put the oxygen probe and blood pressure cuff on the same limb, because
blood flow occlusion during blood pressure measurement will affect the SpO2
readings.
This monitor cannot be used to verify the accuracy of SPO2 Probe and SPO2
machine.

Select [Wave Speed] and set wave speed to [12.5mm/s] or [25mm/s]; the faster speed,
the smoother wave.
SpO2 values displayed on the monitor are the results averaged from the data collected over
time. The shorter the average time, the faster the monitor responds when the patient's SpO2
value changes, but the measurement accuracy is lower. Conversely, the longer the average
time, the slower the monitor responds when the patient's SpO2 value changes, but the
measurement accuracy is higher. In monitoring critically ill patients, a smaller average time is
conducive to timely analysis of the disease.
For Masimo SpO2 module, select [Avg.Time] in the [SpO2 Setup] menu and then toggle
between [2-4 s], [4-6 s], [8 s], [10 s], [12 s], [14 s] and [16 s].

For Masimo SpO2 module, you can set [Sensitivity] to [Normal] or [Max] in the [SpO2
Setup] menu. When the [Sensitivity] is set to [Max], the patient monitor is more
sensitive to minor signals. When monitoring critically ill patients whose pulsations are
very weak, it is strongly recommended that the sensitivity is set to [Max]. When the
patient tends to be in motion, noise or invalid signals may be caused. In this case, it is
recommended that the sensitivity is set to [Normal] so that the interference caused by
motion can be filtered and therefore the measurement stability can be ensured.
During operation, the following factors can affect the accuracy of SpO2 measurement:

Masimo Patent: www.masimo.com/patents.htm
No Implied License
Possession or purchase of this device does not convey any express or implied license to use
the device with unauthorized sensors or cables which would, alone, or in combination with
this device, fall within the scope of one or more of the patents relating to this device.
The Masimo module is intended to monitor the PR, SpO2, PI of patients. Pulse oximetry is a
continuous and non-invasive method of measuring the level of arterial oxygen saturation in
blood. The measurement is taken by placing a sensor on a patient, usually on the fingertip for
adults, and the hand or foot for neonates. The sensor is connected to the pulse oximetry
instrument with a patient cable. The sensor collects signal data from the patient and sends it
to the instrument. The instrument displays the calculated data in three way
2. The amount of arterial blood in tissue changes with your pulse (photoplethysography).
Therefore, the amount of light absorbed by the varying quantities of arterial blood changes as
well.
Pulse Oximeter uses a two-wavelength pulsatile system to distinguish between oxygenated and
deoxygenated blood. Signal data is obtained by passing red(rd)(660 nm wavelength) and infrared
(ir)(905 nm wavelength) light through a vascular bed (for example a fingertip, a hand, a foot) and
measuring changes in light absorption during the pulsatile cycle. This information may be useful
to clinicians. The radiant power of the light is rated at 0.79mW (max.). See figure below. utilizes a
sensor with red and infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that pass light through the site to a
photodiode (photodetector).The photodetector receives the light, converts it into an electronic
signal and sends it for calculate.

If SpO2 values indicate hypoxemia, a laboratory blood sample should be taken to confirm the
patient’s condition.
If the Low Perfusion message is frequently displayed, find a better perfused monitoring site.
In the interim, assess the patient and, if indicated, verify oxygenation status through other
means.
Change the application site or replace the sensor and/or patient cable when a “Replace sensor”
and/or “Replace patient cable”, or a persistent poor signal quality message (such as “Low
SIQ”) is displayed on the host monitor. These messages may indicate that patient
monitoring time is exhausted on the patient cable or sensor.
If using pulse oximetry during full body irradiation, keep the sensor out of the radiation field.
If the sensor is exposed to the radiation, the reading might be inaccurate or the device might
read zero for the duration of the active irradiation period.
To ensure that alarm limits are appropriate for the patient being monitored, check the limits
each time the pulse oximeter is used.
Variation in measurements may be profound and may be affected by sampling technique as
well as the patient's physiological conditions. Any results exhibiting inconsistency with the
patient’s clinical status should be repeated and/or supplemented with additional test data.
Blood samples should be analyzed by laboratory instruments prior to clinical decision
making to completely understand the patient’s condition.
Do not submerge the pulse oximeter in any cleaning solution or attempt to sterilize by
autoclave, irradiation, steam, gas, ethylene oxide or any other method. This will seriously
damage the pulse oximeter.
Electrical Shock Hazard: Carry out periodic tests to verify that leakage currents of
patient-applied circuits and the system are within acceptable limits as specified by the
applicable safety standards. The summation of leakage currents must be checked and in
compliance with IEC 60601-1 and UL60601-1. The system leakage current must be checked
when connecting external equipment to the system. When an event such as a component drop
of approximately 1 meter or greater or a spillage of blood or other liquids occurs, retest
before further use. Injury to personnel could occur.
Disposal of product - Comply with local laws in the disposal of the device and/or its
accessories.
To minimize radio interference, other electrical equipment that emits radio frequency
transmissions should not be in close proximity to the pulse oximeter.

displayed while monitoring consecutive patients after completing troubleshooting steps listed
in this manual.
Notes
- 49 -
NR-TP-0715-008_3.0_cn
A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of the pulse oximeter.
High-intensity extreme lights (such as pulsating strobe lights) directed on the sensor, may not
allow the pulse oximeter to obtain vital sign readings.
When using the Maximum Sensitivity setting, performance of the "Sensor Off" detection may
be compromised. If the device is in this setting and the sensor becomes dislodged from the
patient, the potential for false readings may occur due to environmental "noise" such as light,
vibration, and excessive air movement.
Do not loop the patient cabling into a tight coil or wrap around the device, as this can damage
the patient cabling.
Additional information specific to the Masimo sensors compatible with the pulse oximeter,
including information about parameter/measurement performance during motion and low
perfusion, may be found in the sensor's directions for use (DFU).
Cables and sensors are provided with X-Cal™ technology to minimize the risk of inaccurate
readings and unanticipated loss of patient monitoring. Refer to the Cable or Sensor DFU for
the specified duration of the patient monitoring time.

Chapter10 NIBP
10.1 Overview
The monitor uses oscillometric method to measure noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP), and
applies to adults, pediatric.
The oscillometric method for measuring blood pressure is to inflate a cuff with a certain
amount of pressure until the arterial blood flow has been completely blocked. As pressure
decreases, the arterial blood flow will be completely occluded, gradually opened, and
completely opened. Then, the pulsation of the arterial vascular wall will generate a shock
wave in the cuff. SBP, MBP, and DBP are obtained by measuring and analyzing cuff pressure
oscillations when deflating.
Measuring mode: manual, cycle, and continuous. Each mode shows systolic, mean and
diastolic blood pressure.
Manual mode
Use manual mode to open automatic mode, then the measure will automatically turn to
automatic mode after a certain time. During measurement. Any error will stop the current
automatic measurement, but not affect next automatic measurement unless the time interval
less than 30s. If the time interval less than 30s, should delay the next automatic measurement,
keep the interval more than 30s.
The time interval can be chosen in automatic mode as follow: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 90,
120, 180, 240, 480 minutes
Continuous mode
Choose continuous mode, 5 seconds after complete a measurement start the next

NR-TP-0715-008_3.0_cn
measurement, continue 5 minutes then stop. During measurement. Any error will stop the
continuous measurement. If the first measurement time is over 4 minutes and 40 seconds but
less than 5 minutes, the continuous mode will stop before 5 minutes, if the first measurement
time is over 5 minutes, the continuous mode will stop after 5 minutes.
Warning
Do not carry out non-invasive blood pressure measurement on patients with sickle
cell disease and skin damage or any expected damage.
For patients with severe coagulation disorder, determine if the automatic blood
pressure measurement is carried out according to the clinical evaluation, since the
friction of body and cuff may produce hematoma.
When measuring on pediatric and neonate patient, ensure that the correct patient
mode (see Patient Info menu setting) is selected in order to ensure that maximum
cuff pressure does not exceed the measuring range of the patient (pediatric mode:
240mmHg, Neonate mode: 150mmHg). Using the wrong patient mode may
endanger the safety of patients because higher adult blood pressure level does not
apply to pediatric and neonate patients.
Do not install a cuff on the limbs with intravenous infusion or duct, because it may
lead to tissue damage around the duct when the cuff is inflated and makes the
infusion slow down or be blocked.
The inflatable tube connecting the blood pressure cuff and the monitor should be
smooth without entanglement.
For patients with severe thrombotic disorders, determine whether to carry out
automatic blood pressure measurement according to the clinical situations, since
the limb bundled with a cuff may produce hematoma.
Do not measure blood pressure frequently, otherwise it will affect the distribution
of blood flow, May endanger the safety of patients.
Check the patient's physiological condition before measure blood pressure, in
order to ensure that long time measure will not damage the circulation of patients

According to the patient's condition, the oscillometric method has some limitations. This
measurement is to look for the regular pulse waves generated by arterial pressure. If the
patient's condition makes this detection method difficult, the measured value becomes
unreliable, and pressure measurement time increases. The user should be aware that the
following conditions may interfere with measurement method, making the pressure
measurement unreliable or extend the time. In this case, the patient's condition does not allow
measurement.
Patient movement
If the patient is moving, shaking or cramping, the measurement will be unreliable or even
impossible, as these may interfere with the detection of arterial pressure pulse, and extend the
pressure measurement time.
Arrhythmia
If the patient shows arrhythmia which results in irregular heartbeat, the measurement will be
unreliable and even cannot be done, and the pressure measurement time will be extended.
Pressure changes
If the arterial pressure pulse is being analyzed to obtain a measured value at a certain time
and the blood pressure of the patient changes rapidly, the measurement will be unreliable or
impossible.
Severe shock
If the patient is in severe shock or hypothermia, the pressure measurement will not be reliable,
because the decrease of blood flow to the periphery would cause decrease in arterial
pulsation.
If the heart rate is below 40bpm (beats / min) or above 240bpm (beats / min), the blood

NR-TP-0715-008_3.0_cn
Obese patients
A thick layer of fat around a limb blocks the arterial oscillation so that it cannot reach the cuff.
The accuracy is lower than normal.
Environmental Requirements
Measure blood pressure should meet the environment range as follow: ambient humidity
15%~80%, no condensing, ambient temperature 0~45℃, altitude -500m~5000m. NIBP
performance and measurement accuracy will be affected beyond the range.
- 55 -
NR-TP-0715-008_3.0_cn
Note
If there is any question of measurement value, please repeat measurement then get
average value, if the average value is not correct, please change to mechanical
blood pressure measurement equipment.
Please use neonate cuff to measure on neonate patient.
Use the buttons on the monitor panel or [NIBP] smart hotkey on the display to
start / stop the blood pressure measurement.
The position of limb blood pressure measurement should be in the same horizontal position
of the patient's heart. Otherwise, correct the measurement results with the following
correction method:
If the cuff is above the heart level position, increase 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) per
centimeter of gap to the measured results.
If the cuff is below the heart level position, subtract 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) per
centimeter of gap from the measured results.
If the patient is obese or clothes are too thick, subtract 5mmHg ~ 10mmHg (0.65kPa ~
1.3kPa) from the measured results.
NIBP measurement has no waveform display, and only displays NIBP measurement results in
the parameter area, as shown in Fig. 11-1. The figure below is for reference only. The
graphics displayed on the monitor may be slightly different.

12.1 Overview
Connect to the monitor with five lead ECG cable, and ECG can display two different waves
by adjusting the two leads. You can use the shuttle to change the lead name on the left of the
ECG wave on the screen and select the lead to be monitored.
The parameters displayed in the parameter area of the monitor include heart rate (HR), ST
segment measurements and arrhythmia counts per minute.
Note
In the factory setup of this instrument, ECG waves display in the first two waves
from the top in the wave area in the normal screen.
Warning
To monitor ECG signal with this monitor, ECG cable and ECG electrodes
specified in the Operator’s Manual must be used.
When you connect electrodes or patient cable, make sure that the patient is
absolutely not connected with any other conductive parts or in contact with the
ground. In particular, make sure that all the ECG electrodes, including the
- 65 -
NR-TP-0715-008_3.0_cn
neutral electrodes, are attached to the patient and prevent them from contact
with the conductive parts or ground.
Periodically check the skin that the electrode is placed at; if there is any sign of
allergy, replace the electrode or change the placement position.
When the patient needs defibrillation, do not use non-defibrillator type ECG
cables.
During defibrillation, the operating personnel shall not touch the patient,
tables and instrument.
During defibrillation, the ECG cable connected with the patient’s body may
be damaged. Check if the function is normal again before using these cables.
Recover within 10 seconds after defibrillation and will not lose any stored
data. During electrosurgery (ESU) or defibrillation, the measurement
accuracy may be temporarily reduced. This does not affect the safety of the
patient or the instrument.
Do not expose this equipment to X-ray or strong magnetic fields (MRI).
12.3.1 Preparation
Before placing the electrode, prepare the patient's skin in the following steps:
Skin preparation: Since the skin is a poor conductor, it is very important to treat the
patient's skin for electrode placement appropriately to make good contact between the
electrode and the skin. Select the flat position with less muscles for the electrode
placement, and refer to the method below for treatment of the skin:
Install the spring clip or stud prior to the placement of the electrodes.

14.1 Introduction
CO2 monitoring is a continuous, non-invasive technique for determining the concentration of CO2
in the patient’ airway by measuring the absorption of infrared (IR) light of specific wavelengths.
The CO2 has its own absorption characteristic and the amount of light passing the gas probe
depends on the concentration of the measured CO2. When a specific band of IR light is passed
through respiratory gas samples, some of IR light will be absorbed by the CO2 molecules. The
amount of IR light transmitted after it has been passed through the respiratory .gas sample is
measured with a photodetector. From the amount of IR light measured, the concentration of CO2
is calculated
Warning

Where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the
transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, a
should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range b Interference may occur in the
vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:
Note 1: From 80 MHz to 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected
by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast
cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to
fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field
strength in the location in which the device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level
above, the device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the device.
