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.

Control Panel
and V26 Monitors
Softkeys
Hardkeys
The control panel consists of softkeys, hardkeys and alarm lamps.
The softkeys perform multiple fu nctions. Their functions correspond to the labels displayed at the bottom of the screen. When no softkey labels are on the screen, the softkeys do not function.
The hardkeys have only one function defined by the label on the key. The hardkeys are labeled in blue. Each one of these keys gets you into a
level where adjustments and changes can be made or performs an immediate action. The keys are labeled according to their function, for example, key allows you to start a recording of a waveform.
Note—
Device, the handheld keypad can be used to operate the system and to enter data. It contains all the hardkeys and softkeys available on the control panel of the othe r systems.

External Alarm Device
(Agilent CMS only):
Since the External Alarm Device is used only with commercially available ITE displays that do not have a control panel, it contains all the alarm lamps, the Alarms Suspended Lamp and the loudspeaker. It does not contain any hardkeys or softkeys and therefore can only be used in conjunction with the Handheld Keypad. The Handheld Keypad can be mounted onto the External Alarm Device as illustra ted below.

Agilent V26CT/V24CT Power Supply
Agilent V26CT/V24CT Power Supply
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.
Battery Power Supply
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 batteries when loaded with the following parameter modules : ECG/Resp, NBP, SpO
We recommend you use 2 fully charged batteries to g et the optimum battery life when using the battery pow er supply.

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:

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.

Adjusting Screen Contrast
Agilent V24 and V26:
The brightness or contrast of the screen display can be adjusted by using the dial located behind the edge of the display, on the lower right side of the monitor. Th e Agilent V24 uses a contrast control. Agilent Models V24C, V24CT, V26C and V26CT are equ ipped with a brightness control. Make sure that all of the screen information is visible.

Agilent CMS:
The brightness and contrast of the screen display can be adjusted by means of the two dials underneath the hardkeys. Follow this procedure to achieve the optimum screen display:
1. Turn the brightness and contrast controls to their maximum settings.
2. Slowly turn the brightness and contrast controls down to the lowest acceptable position where the display can still be seen clearly. The most acceptable position will be dependent upon the surrounding light conditions. Please ensure tha t all the screen information is visible.

If you want to make changes to the screen display see the section
“Configuring the System”. If you want to make changes to the parameter settings see the individual parameter se ctions.
Switch the system alarms ON (by pressing the key so that the Alarm Suspend lam p goes out). The patient is now being monitored.
Two types of messages appear at the top of the display screen:
Prompt messages - these instruct the user to perform an action
Status messages - these give information about the current situation. For instance:
“sync output not available, plug-in ECG module''
Suspend
Attaching the Patient
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
“Discharging a Patient/Ending a Case” on page 7-9 for more information.

Changing Display Screens
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.
