The Impact of Lithium-Ion Battery Technology on the Battery
The following are the key points you should know about Lithium-Ion battery technology:
The battery will discharge on its own, even when it is not installed in a monitor. This
discharge is the result of the Lithium-Ion cells and the bias current required for the
integrated electronics.
By the nature of Lithium-Ion cells, the battery will self-discharge. The self-discharge rate
doubles for every 10°C (18°F) rise in temperature.
The capacity loss of the battery degrades significantly at higher temperatures.
As the battery ages, the full-charge capacity of the battery will degrade and be
permanently lost. As a result, the amount of charge that is stored and available for use is
reduced.

ECG connector position and measurement cable
Electrode placement
1. If you have a lot of hair, shave. With alcohol-soaked cotton, wipe the patient's skin to
attach the electrode. Avoid wrinkled or uneven skin, and wipe off alcohol with a dry
cotton towel.
2. Unpack the electrode package and remove the electrode
3. Remove the rear mounting surface of the electrode. Be careful not to touch the adhesive
side.
4. Attach disposable electrodes to the previously sterilized skin.
5. Connect the lead of the electrode and the wire of the monitor
6. Fix the electrode to the skin, and secure the cable with the remaining length between the
instrument and the electrode with surgical tape. This fixation prevents the electrode from
moving.
Make sure that the contact area of the disposable electrode is not dry to maintain a
good connection between the electrode and the skin.
If you suspect that the disposable electrode is in poor contact, replace it immediately
with a new electrode. Otherwise, the contact impedance of the skin and electrode will
increase, and the correct ECG signal will not be obtained.
BM5 User’s Manual
Note
If the contact condition gets worse before expiration date on the packaging, replace
with a new one.
To get a stable ECG waveform, rub the skin with gel or benzoin tincture.
ECG Precaution
Caution
Use caution when using evoked potential equipment as it may interfere with ECG
monitoring.
Do not rely solely on ECG for patients with epileptic tendencies. Electrical
disturbances of non-cardiac circles such as seizures may interfere with the
detection of specific arrhythmias.
Warning
CABLES — Route all cables away from patient's throat to avoid possible strangulation.
CONDUCTIVE CONNECTIONS — Extreme care must be exercised when applying medical
electrical equipment. Many parts of the human/machine circuit are conductive, such as the
patient, connectors, electrodes, transducers. It is very important that these conductive parts
do not come into contact with other grounded, conductive parts when connected to the
isolated patient input of the device. Such contact would bridge the patient's isolation and
cancel the protection provided by the isolated input. In particular, there must be no contact
of the neutral electrode and ground.
DEFIBRILLATION — Do not come into contact with patients during defibrillation. Otherwise
serious injury or death could result.
To avoid the risk of serious electrical burn, shock, or other injury during defibrillation, all
persons must keep clear of the bed and must not touch the patient or any equipment
connected to the patient.
BM5 User’s Manual
After defibrillation, the screen display recovers within 10seconds if the correct electrodes are
used and applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Patient cables can be damaged when connected to a patient during defibrillation. Check
cables for functionality before using them again.
The peak of the synchronized defibrillator discharge should be delivered within 60ms of the
peak of the R wave. The signal at the ECG output on the patient monitors is delayed by a
maximum of 30ms.
If the ECG waveform on the screen is too unstable to synchronize with the patient’s heart
beat because of the following reason, remove the cause of an alarm, message, or unstable
ECG, and then use a stable ECG lead for synchronization.
ECG electrode is detached or broken. Lead wire is detached or broken.
Lead wire moves. AC interference, EMG noise or noise from ESU is superimposed.
Connection cable is broken or has a short circuit. Connector has poor contact.
INTERFACING OTHER EQUIPMENT — Devices may only be interconnected with each other
or to parts of the system when it has been determined by qualified biomedical engineering
personnel that there is no danger to the patient, the operator, or the environment as a
result. In those instances where there is any element of doubt concerning the safety of
connected devices, the user must contact the manufacturers concerned (or other informed
experts) for proper use. In all cases, safe and proper operation should be verified with the
applicable
Manufacturer’s instructions for use and system standards IEC 60601-1-1/EN 60601-1-1 must
be complied with.
Electro surgery Unit
Electrosurgical unit (ESU) emits a lot of RF interference. If the monitor is used with an
ESU, RF interference may affect the monitor operation.
Locate the monitor as far as possible from the ESU. Locate them on opposite sides of
the operating table, if possible.
Connect the monitor and ESU to different AC outlets located as far as possible from
each other.
When using this monitor with an electrosurgical unit, its return plate and the electrodes
BM5 User’s Manual
for monitoring must be firmly attached to the patient. If the return plate is not attached
correctly, it may burn the patient’s skin where the electrodes are attached.
During surgery:
Use the appropriate orange electrode ECG safety cable, or lead cable with an red connector,
for measuring ECG in the operating room. These cables have extra circuitry to protect the
patient from burns during cautery, and they decrease electrical interference. This also
reduces the hazard of burns in case of a defective neutral electrode at the HF device. These
cables cannot be used for measuring respiration.
Careful skin preparation and proper electrode placement allow you to receive a strong signal that
minimizes handwriting. If a technical alarm (e.g. lead disconnect) has occurred, prepare the patient
again according to the following recommendations.
Follow hospital approved clinical procedures to prepare the patient's skin. Change the electrode
every 24 to 48 hours to improve signal quality. You may need to replace the electrode more often
in the following situations:
ECG signal degradation
Excessive sweating of the patient
Patient's skin irritation
There are a variety of reusable and disposable electrodes available. Choose the electrode that
best fits your monitoring situation. Bionet recommends Ag / AgCl disposable electrodes.
If you are using an electrode with a gel beforehand, make sure that the electrode is sufficiently
gelled. Never use this product if the disposable electrode has expired or the gel is dry.
Determine the electrode location that will provide the best ECG in the configuration (P-wave and
T-wave amplitudes should not exceed 1/3 of the QRS amplitude). Choose a flat, muscular location
to maximize contact with the electrodes and minimize muscle fatigue. Avoid joints or bony
protrusions. When choosing a location for electrode placement, consider the following special
conditions: Surgery - Place electrodes as far away from the surgical site as possible. Burn patient use sterile electrodes. Thoroughly clean the equipment. Follow hospital infection control
procedures.
Use a waterproof tape (about 2 inches wide) or Steri-Drape to secure the electrode Protect from
liquids. Make a small loop from the lead wire just below the connection and secure with tape.
The monitor is a QRS Complex with a QRS complex amplitude of 0.4 to 5.0 mV (0.2-5.0 mV with a
scale setting of 0.5 mV / cm or less) and an adult with a QRS width of 70-120 ms (or a newborn
with a QRS / ARR Select chapter). The heart rate is calculated from 15 to 300 times per minute
using the last 10seconds of the R-R interval and the two longest intervals and the two shortest
intervals at the R-R interval. The remaining interval is averaged, and the current heart rate is
displayed in the HR parameter box of the main screen as a result.
.
If arrhythmia monitoring is possible (except for neonatal patients), the HR parameter box will
change accordingly. If you select Basic, you can display three basic arrhythmias called ASYS, VFIB,
and VTAC. If Full is selected, a separate ARR parameter box will be displayed next to the HR
parameter box (for details on selecting the arrhythmia mode, refer to the Arrhythmia setting
chapter).
BM5 User’s Manual
When the ECG signal is 80 BPM, the interval of the T wave is 180 ms, and the QT period is 350 ms.
ST signal processing and display
ST segment deviation is defined as the movement above or below the equipotential level
(mm). The difference measurement compares the isoelectric point with the ST
measurement point. The isoelectric point defines a zero volt point (no electrical activity, 0
mm) with a base position on the horizontal axis (in hours) of 28 ms before QRS complex
generation. In the ST segment, the ST point occurs between the QRS offset (J point) and
the T-wave. The default position is 80ms after the QRS offset. The following figure shows
a typical QRS complex. The ST analysis features are classified as "normal" beats in up to
12 selected ECG leads QRS Complex.
Alarm and alarm status
High P-wave and T-wave - Long P-wave or T-wave with high amplitude duration can be detected
by QRS Complex. Place the leads on the ECG1 channel with the highest R-wave (compare to Twave and / or P-wave) to allow the monitor to properly detect low heart rate conditions in this
situation. If the monitor continues to misinterpret the P-wave or T-wave, use a pulse oximeter to
reposition the electrodes or monitor the patient's pulse rate.

SpO2 monitoring is a non-invasive technique that measures the total amount of oxygen in
hemoglobin. The pulse rate is measured by measuring the absorption of the wavelength of the
selected light. The light emitted by the sensor in the probe passes through the tissue and is
converted into an electrical signal by the light-detecting sensor in the probe. The monitor
processes the electrical signal and displays the waveform, %SpO2, and pulse rate on the screen as
quantified values. Red and infrared rays are passed through the capillaries of the fingertip to
detect the pulsating component, calculate HR and oxygen saturation, and alarm according to the
set alarm value.
Precaution
SpO2 measurements are particularly sensitive to arterial and arteriolar pulse rates. Patients
experiencing shock, hypothermia, anemia, or patients taking medications that reduce arterial
blood flow may have incorrect measurements.
Warning:
The pulse oximeter cannot be used as an apnea monitor.
High oxygen levels can make premature babies vulnerable to retrolental fibroplasia.
When this is the case, do not set the maximum alarm limit to 100%, such as the effect of
turning off the alarm. Percutaneous pO2 monitoring is recommended for premature
infants receiving supplemental oxygen.
Inspect the applied area every 2-3 hours to check the skin condition and check if it is
attached to the naked eye. If skin conditions change, move the sensor to another
location. Change the application site every 4 hours at least.
Use only Bionet-designated sensors. Other sensors may not provide adequate protection
against defibrillation or may put the patient at risk.
Disposable accessories (disposable electrodes, transducers, etc.) should be used only
The accuracy of SpO2 monitoring is largely dependent on the strength and quality of the SpO2
signal.
If you use your fingers as a monitoring site, remove the nail polish. Cut the patient's fingernail if
needed to improve placement of the sensor. Only use sensors provided by Bionet and apply them
according to manufacturer's recommendations on a per-sensor basis.
If the sensor is not attached correctly, the ambient light may interfere with the pulse oximetry,
making the measurement irregular or causing the value to disappear. If you suspect interference
from ambient light, make sure that the sensor is properly positioned and that the sensor cover
with the opaque body is covered.
1. Select the sensor type and size that best suits your patient.
2. If the sensor can be reused, please wash it before use for each patient.
3. Position the sensor correctly and attach it to the patient.
4. Connect the sensor to the patient cable.
5. Check the application area of the sensor from time to time. If the sensor is too tight, it may
delay blood flow or overheat the skin and damage the tissue. Do not use a damaged sensor.
Note: Read the documentation that came with your sensor for the best application technology
and safety information. Never use a damaged sensor.
Note: If the sensor does not turn on after connecting the sensor, observe that a message appears
on the monitor. If the sensor-LED does not turn on, replace the sensor.
The current SPO2 value and the derived pulse rate (RATE) are displayed. The block sets indicate
the strength of the signal (twenty block bars indicate the strongest signal). The SPO2
measurements are averaged over a 6-second period of time.
The monitor display is updated every second.
The SPO2 monitoring features are found in the SPO2 menu. These features include alarm limit
It is extremely important to determine that the probe is attached to the patient correctly and the
data is verifiable. To make this determination, three indications from the monitor are of
assistance—signal strength bar, quality of the SPO2 waveform, and the stability of the SPO2
values. It is critical to observe all three indications simultaneously when ascertaining signal and
data validity.
Signal Strength Bar
The signal strength bar is displayed within the SPO2 values window. This bar consists of 10 blocks
set depending on the strength of the signal. Proper environmental conditions and probe
attachment will help to ensure a strong signal.

Quality of SPO2 Waveform
Under normal conditions, the SPO2 waveform corresponds to (but is not proportional to) the
arterial pressure waveform. The typical SPO2 waveform indicates not only a good waveform, but
helps the user find a probe placement with the least noise spikes present. The figure below
represents an SPO2 waveform of good quality.
Good Quality SPO2 Waveform
If noise (artifact) is seen on the waveform because of poor probe placement, the photo detector
may not be flush with the tissue. Check that the probe is secured and the tissue sample is not too
thick. Pulse rate is determined from the SPO2 waveform which can be disrupted by a cough or
other hemodynamic pressure disturbances. Motion at the probe site is indicated by noise spikes
in the normal waveform. (See the figure below.) In order to reduce motion noise, you should
carefully look at the SpO2 waveform and check the probe position in the patient.
The stability of the displayed SPO2 values can also be used as an indication of signal validity.
Although stability is a relative term, with a small amount of practice one can get a good feeling
for changes that are artifactual or physiological and the speed of each. Messages are provided in
the SPO2 values window to aid you in successful SPO2 monitoring.

SPO2 Waveform with Artifact
WARNING
In the monitoring of patients the coincidence of adverse conditions may lead to a disturbed
signal going unnoticed. In this situation artifacts are capable of simulating a plausible
parameter reading, so that the monitor fails to sound an alarm. In order to ensure reliable
patient monitoring, the proper application of the probe and the signal quality must be
checked at regular intervals.

window during monitoring.
CHECK PROBE
Reusable finger probe is off the patient. Check the probe. The factory default for this alarm is
MESSAGE ALARM.
PULSE SEARCH
Detection by the monitor of a repeatable pulse has ceased. Check the patient and the probe site.
POOR SIGNAL
The SPO2 signal is too low. No SPO2 data is displayed. This can be due to a low patient pulse,
patient motion, or some other interference. Check the patient and the probe.
LOST SIGNAL
SPO2 data continues to be displayed, but the quality of the signal is questionable. Check the
patient and the probe.
It indicates that something happened to the pulses; determine if the artifact to be abnormal and

Cleaning
Do not autoclave, pressure sterilizes, or gas sterilizes this oximeter.
Do not soak or immerse the monitor in any liquid.
Use the cleaning solution sparingly. Excessive solution can flow into the monitor and cause
damage to internal components.
Do not touch, press, or rub the display panels with abrasive cleaning compounds,
instruments, brushes, rough surface materials, or bring them into contact with anything
that could scratch the panel.
Do not use petroleum-based or acetone solutions, or other harsh solvents, to clean the
oximeter. These substances attack the device’s materials and device failure can result.
If the accuracy of any measurement does not seem reasonable, first check the patient’s vital signs
by alternate means and the check the MS board pulse oximeter for proper functioning.
Inaccurate measurements may be caused by:
Incorrect sensor application or use
Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins. (e.g. carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglgbin)
Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue.
Respiration via ECG Lead I or Lead II electrode makes the skin area of the chest enlarged, causing
changes in the resistance of skin. Through this it calculates respiration value per minutes and
performs the alarm function according to limit value.
The monitor can use ECG leads I or II for breath detection, regardless of the leads selected for
QRS processing. The measurement range for impedance breath monitoring is 0 to 155 breaths
per minute. The alarm setting range is 5 ~ 150 breaths per minute. In neonatal and pediatric
mode, the monitor can detect central apnea. You can monitor the heart rate, SpO2 using the
appropriate accessories, and display the relevant values in the Oxycardiorespirogram.
RESP precaution
Safety and efficacy of respiration measurement methods for apnea detection, especially apnea of
premature babies and apnea of infants, have not yet been established.
This device does not monitor obstructive apnea. Patients in a breathing crisis should be
closely monitored.
Impedance breath monitoring should not be considered the only way to detect breathing
stops. Bionet recommends monitoring of additional parameters, such as EtCO2 and SpO2,
that indicate the patient's oxygen supply status.
• If you use an ESU block or cable, the impedance breath monitor may not work and the
pacemaker detection performance may be degraded. If pacemaker detection is enabled,
ESU interference may be detected as a pacemaker.
• Large amplitude pacemaker pulses ( > 100mV) may interfere with the monitor's breath
Skin preparation and electrode placement must be properly and carefully monitored in impedance
breath monitoring. You can produce reliable results. Follow the same recommendations as ECG
monitoring Please. In general, the electrodes should be placed as clean as possible with the 60Hz
noise minimized Make it possible to generate a signal. The best results can be obtained when the
electrode is firmly bonded and the electrode area is wide. To improve the RESP signal, use a 5lead cable set (RL as a neutral electrode). It is recommended that the electrode be placed in the
maximum expansion and contraction range of the lung, especially if deep breathing is involved.
For newborns, place the RA and LA electrodes on the mid-armpit line with the nipple. Place the
LL electrodes under the diaphragm and navel. Avoid the liver and the ventricles of the heart to
prevent 60Hz noise from pulsatile blood circulation. The following figure shows where we
recommend placing ECG leads for impedance breathing in adults and neonates
