Electromagnetic Interference
Anomalies due to electromagnetic interference are not unique to the M1165/66/67/75/76/77A
or the M1205A but are chara cteristic of patient monitors in use today. This performance is
due to the very sensitive high gain front end amplifiers used to display the physiological
signals. Among the many similarly performing monitors already in use by customers,
interference from electromagnetic sources is rarely a problem in actual use.
Avoiding Electromagnetic Interference
When electromagnetic interference (EMI) is encountered there are a number of actions that
can be taken to mitigate the problem.
•Eliminate the source. Possible sources of EMI can be turned off or moved away to
reduce their strength.
•Attenuate the coupling. If the coupling path is through the patient leads, the
interference may be reduced by moving and/or rearranging the leads. If the coupling is
through the power cord, plugging the monitor into a dif ferent circuit may help.
•Reduce the sensitivity of th e syst em . In all o f th e EM C t esti n g the m oni to r wa s adju ste d
to maximum sensitivity. For the ECG amplifier the gain was four times what is
normally required. By reducing the gain of the system receiving the EMI, the
interference can often be eliminated.
•Add external attenuat ors. I f E MI becomes an unusually difficult problem external
devices such as an isolation transf ormer or a transient suppressor ma y be of help. An
Agilent Customer Engineer can be of help in determining the need for external devices.

and V26 Monitors
The Agilent CMS, V24
The Agilent Models V24 CT and V26CT are powered by an external AC
(line power) or by their own internal battery power supply. Your
monitoring needs will determine which power source is used. We
recommend that you plug the monitor into line or AC power whenever
the monitor is not being moved or used, or for long term bedside
monitoring. When transporting a patient or when monitoring in a remote
area, where AC power is not feasible, use battery power.
WarningWarning
Do not disconnect the power cord from the monitor and leave it
connected to the AC power source. This could cause damage to
the power cord. Instead, keep the power cord connected to the
monitor and unplug it from the AC power source.
The power cord must be inspected periodically for cracks or
exposed metal parts. Replace immed iately if there are any
cracks, exposed metal parts, or any ot her signs of wear and tear.

1-14 The Agilent CMS, V24 and V26 Monitors
The Agilent Models V24CT and V26 CT can be powered by 1 or 2 sealed
lead-acid batteries with 12 Volt 2.3 Amp-Hour capacity. The rate of
battery discharge is de pendent on temperature an d power load. The
power load is a function of the number and type of parameter modules
as well as parameter settings being used. The battery life for the Agilent
Models V24CT and V26CT ranges from approximately 30 minutes fo r a
fully loaded system operating on one battery to:
•1 hour for a fully loaded system operating on two batteries when
loaded with the following parameter modules:
ECG/Resp, NBP, SpO
•1 hour 15 minutes for a minima lly loaded system operating on two

modules. Severe damage to the equipment can result if saline solution
leaks into the c onnectors at the rear of the modules.

You can plug the parameter modules into the rack and re move them as
you require them. The num ber of modules you can plug in depends on
the type of rack and the model of monitor you have orde red.
For most types of parameter modu les, the system allows only one of
each type per patient (ECG, for example). Other types of modules allow
more than one per patient (Invasive Pressure, for example).
If too many modules or an unsupported module are plugged in, a
message detailing where the extra module is, appe ars in the system
message field:
is displayed if an unknown module is plugged into the rack.
Note—
Since the Agilent V24 and V26 Monitors only support one module
rack, R will always be 1.

waveform for synchronizing a defibrillator. It is also used to receive a
marker pulse from the defibrilla tor for indicating the defibrillator
discharge in the ECG waveform on the monitor display.
If you are using an Agilent defibrillator without a built-in recorde r, the
marker pulse from the defibrilla tor is returned to the monitor. If the
Agilent defibrillator has a built-in recorder, then the marker pulse is
returned to that recorder rather than to the monitor. The ECG output
can also be used for other ap plications, such as synchronizing intra aortic balloon pump systems.

EN60601-1 +A1 +A2 {IEC601-1 +A1 +A2}, or
it must conform to the requirements of an IEC XXX electrical
safety standard and fulfill specific requirements according to the
EN60601-1-1 +A1 {IEC601- 1-1 + A1} to provi d e th e same level of
safety as EN60601-1 {IEC601-1} :
– The display must be constructed or protected so t hat spillage
of liquids does no t wet pa rt s of the di spl ay whi ch may cau se a
safety hazard (IEC601-1; 44.3) .
– The ITE display must be used with an isolation transformer
(e.g. Agilent M1389A), if the enclosure leakage current
exceeds the requirements of EN60601-1/IEC601-1 (normal
and single fault condition). The power cable must be secured
so that the transformer cannot be disconnected without the
use of a tool.
2. A test of the Enclosure Leakage Current (normal and single fault
condition) of the complete system, including the display, has to be
performed and documented.

this message stays as long as the ECG module is not plugged in.
Prompt and status messages are displayed either in the appropriate Task
Window, or at the top of the Main Display screen, depending on the
operating level.
On the Main Screen display the prompt and status messages are shown
below the alarm and INOP messages.
Prompt messages appear for 3 seconds.
Status message are displayed in rotation for 3 seconds each.
Reserving a
Channel
In the Task Window the prompt and status messages remain until the
appropriate user action is performed.
A parameter module may be turned OFF, but left in the r ac k. The empty
channel where the waveform should be still appears on the Main Screen.
There is no waveform, wavef orm label, or numeric. Another wave may
use its screen channel tempora rily, but will be discarded as soon as the
assigned wave is reactivated.
This ensures that particular waveforms can always be allocated to the
same place on the Main Screen, and avoids inconsistencies in the
waveform display of different patients in the same department.
Note—
If trend data for this patient is to be collected, old data from a
previous patient should be deleted. The old data will be automatically
deleted if the monitor has been shut off for three hours or more. See

Setting up your Monitor
This chapter describes the characteristics of your system that
can be changed during monitoring, using the
key. It includes the following sections:
A display screen is a pre-selected arrangement of realtime waveforms,
numerics and overlayed application windows. A particular display
screen can, for instance, be created to monitor a patient during a
specific procedure in a department or unit.
There are five separate display screens which can be configured. The
default names of these screens are Screen A, Screen B, Screen C, Screen
D and Screen E. You can select add itional screen labels (such as
Standard, or Surgeon) for these screens.
A softkey corresponding to each screen is available in the Change
Screen Task Window (Agilent CMS) or the Monitor Se tup Task Window
(Agilent V24 and V26). The display screen which is active is identified by
an inactive softkey for that screen.
You can change to one of the other screens at any time, by pressing one
of the other softkeys.

You can reconfigure only the screen which is currently active. Once a
display screen has been configured, the settings remain either unt il the

Note—
Split Screen Trends are not avai lable with selected Agilent V24

The alarm limits are represented by a rectangle, filled with the
parameter’s color at low intensity. When a measurement exceeds an
alarm limit, it is clea rly visible against the screen’s black background. The
limits themselves are displayed on the right side of the trend display, next
to their corresponding boundaries.
The alarm-limit values are always displayed within the rectangle defined
by alarm limits, if they fit.
Note—
Some trends, such as vital signs that are received through VueLink,
do not have alarm limits associated with them. In this case, no rectangle
is displayed for the alarm range. Instead, the default range scales are
displayed with low intensity on th e left side of the trend display, to
distinguish them from alarm limits.
Trend data is only displayed for those vital signs that are positioned in the
