Safety Considerations

This Instructions for Use assumes a working knowledge of patient monitors. To
support proper, safe and accurate operation of equipment, read all operating
instructions carefully before you use the monitor. The monitor complies with IEC
60601-1 and applicable collateral and particular standards.

Site of Operation

WARNING:
z Connect the AC Adapter to hospital grade electrical
outlets with medical power cords.
z Monitor operation is not currently supported in the
following environments: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environments, aircraft, ambulance, home or hyperbaric chamber environments.
z Do not operate the monitor or its remote displays in the
presence of flammable gases.
z Do not use the monitor near devices with microwave or
other high-frequency emissions. These emissions ma y interfere with the monitor’s operation.
z Position the monitor and acce ssories with at least 2 in.
(5 cm.) of space around all sides to p revent overheating
z Do not allow fluids to come in contact with monitor or
peripherals. If fluids are accidentally spilled on equipment, remove affected unit from service as soon as possible. Contact your biomed to ensure that there is no compromise in electrical safety.
.
CAUTION:
z The site of operation must meet the environmental requirements outlined in
Appendix B, Technical Data.
z To avoid patient injury, ensure patient is disconnected from all sensors, etc.
before moving pa tient.

Inspection and Maintenance

Regular equipment inspection and maintenance is required. The user should verify
that the monitor operates as described in this manual and that all safety labels are
legible and should also maintain a record of these and other inspections. Safety
checks, verification, calibration and maintenance should be performed at least every
two years by trained personnel, as described in the Service Manual (see individual
VF7 VISTA XL VII
I
NFINITY VISTA XL USER S GUIDE
parameter chapters for information about calibration and verification of parameter­specific functions and devices). All cables, alarm functions, accessories, and associated devices should be checked for damage, ground resistance, chassis and patient leakage currents on a yearly basis, or more frequently, based on usage.
WARNING:
z Disposable accessories (such as disposable
electrodes, transducers, etc.) are for single use only. Do not reuse disposable accessories.
z Do not use cables that appear cracked, worn, or
damaged in any way. Such use may contribute to poor monitoring performance or the display of erroneous values.
z Moisture under the front panel can damage the electric
circuits and compromise key function. Read carefully cleaning instructions on page 21-2.
z Because of the danger of electric shock, never remove
the cover of any device while it is in operation or connected to a power outlet.
NOTE:
z The monitor’s Service Manual is available from your local Dräger Medical
service representative.
z Dispose of all equipment in accordance with local regulations.
Dräger Medical recommends:
z Maintenance, modifications, and repairs are carried out by trained personnel. z Components are replaced with Dräger Medical provided spare parts,
otherwise the correct functioning of the device may be compromised.
z Devices are used in accordance with Dräger Medical operating instructions,
as described in this Instructions for Use.
VIII VISTA XL VF7

General Electrical Safety

CAUTION:
z Ensure electrical shock classifications for all equipment connected to the
patient are suitable for the intended application. Leakage current will increase when connecting multiple medical devices to a patient.
z It is the user’s responsibility to verify that the overall system is connected in
accordance with local regulations and your hospital’s policies, and that it complies with EN 60601-1-1, “Collateral Standar d: Safety Requirements for Medical Electrical Systems.”

Pacemakers

NOTE: See “Pacemakers” on page 8-3 for safety precautions when monitoring paced patients.

Peripheral Devices

CAUTION: In the interest of patient safety and equipment performance, the connection of other manufacturers’ equipment to the monitor is not authorized, unless the connection is explicitly approved by Dräger Medical. It is the user’s responsibility to contact Dräger Medical to determine the compatibility and warranty status of any connection made to another manufacturer’s equipment.

Electrosurgery

WARNING:
z Keep ECG, temperature, pressure , SpO
and intermediate cables off earth ground and away from ESU knife and return wires.
z Use only Dräger blue ECG lead wires or the ESU block
with conventional leads (see page 8-7). They are designed to provide resistance to interference from the ESU and to protect the patient from burns caused by ESU-induced current flowing through the leads.
z Impedance respiration monitoring and pacemaker spike
detection are inoperative when you are using the ESU Block.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

The monitor has been designed and tested for compliance with current regulatory
standards (EN55011 Class B and EN60601-1-2) regarding its capacity to reduce
electromagnetic emissions (EMI) and to block EMI from external sources.
Dräger Medical recommends these procedures to reduce electromagnetic interference:
z Use only Dräger Medical provided accessories, otherwise the correct
functioning of the device may be compromised (see Appendix C, Approved Options and Accessories for more information).
z Ensure that other products in patient-monitoring and/or life-support areas
comply to accepted emissions standards (EN55011, Class B).
z Maximize distance between electromedical devices. High-power devices
relating to electrocautery, electrosurgery, and radiation (X-ray), as well as electrical stimulators and evoked potential devices, may produce interference on the monitor.
z Strictly limit access to portable radio-frequency sources (e.g., cellular phones
and radio transmitters). Portable phones may periodically transmit even when in standby mode.
z Maintain good cable management. Avoid routing cables over electrical
equipment. Do not intertwine cables.
z Ensure electrical maintenance is done by qualified personnel. z NBP circuits use motors that emit very low-level electromagnetic fields that
may interfere with other sensitive medical devices.

Auxiliary Display Components

The following devices enable remote viewing of patient data.
Remote Display -- Allows you to view but not control monitor functions away from
the bedside. Dräger Medical strongly recommends that you use only approved video
monitors, otherwise the function of the monitor may be compromised. For a complete
list of approved video monitors, contact your Draeger Medical Systems, Inc. local
representative to obtain a catalog. Any use of non-approved monitors may
compromise the correct functioning of the device.
CAUTION: The Remote Display output on the IDS is not galvanically isolated. If you use a video monitor other than one specified by Dräger Medical, it must comply with IEC 60601-1. Upon installation, the installer must ensure that, in normal and single fault conditions, the entire system meets the requirements of IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-1 (Medical Electrical Systems Standards). Refer to the video monitor’s operating instructions to ensure that the interconnection is within its intended use as specified by the manufacturer. Radiated and conducted emissions classi fication, suitability for flammable locations and water ingress protection must be considered based on the intended use of the system.

NTRODUCTION

Power Sources

The Vista XL monitor can be powered by a hospital grade outlet with AC adapter, or
battery. In case of a line outage or disconnected cable, the monitor automatically
switches to battery power to ensure continued patient monitoring.
WARNING: Read “Safety Considerations” (page VII, in the Overview of this Instructions fo Use) before connecting the monitor to a power source.
CAUTION: Make sure all power cords are properly connected, or batteries may be drained unintentionally.

Battery Power

The Vista XL monitor operates on an external, sealed
lead-acid battery and an internal lithium-ion battery . The
external battery, which can easily be replaced when
depleted, can power the monitor for 50 minutes. If it
runs low or you remove it from a monitor that has been
using battery power, the mo nitor automatically switches
to an internal battery, which can power the monitor for
180 minutes (See “Electrical Specifications” on page B-
7). When both batteries run low, the monitor sounds an
alarm, and a status message appears in the network message area. If both batteries are
depleted, the monitor turns off automatically.
The external battery fits into a compartment on the monitor’s left side. When depleted
or removed, replace it immediately or connect the monitor to a power supply.
Whenever the monitor is connected to power, the battery is charged (as indicated by
the battery charger LED on the front panel). The internal battery is charged first, then
the external battery.The following table illustrates the function of the battery charge
bar graph at the top of the screen:
NOTE: When AC power is disconnected, the battery
charge display can take up to 15 seconds to reflect actual internal battery capacity and up to 60 seconds to reflect actual external battery capacity

WARNING: Actual time available on the internal battery can be significantly reduced with worn out or defective batteries. The ‘Internal Battery Percentage’ value on the Battery Status screen is accurate only if the batteries are in normal work ing condition.
CAUTION:
z DO NOT use the monitor for transport if the internal battery charge is at 25%
or less, unless you are using a fully charged external battery.
z High temperatures may adversely affect batteries. For optimal performance,
charge and use the external batteries at temperatures below 35°C (95°F).
z Follow local regulations for safe disposal of batteries. To prevent fire or
explosion, never dispose of batteries in fire.
z Use only batteries that are provided by Dräger Medical. The use of non-
approved batteries may damage the device.
VF7 VISTA XL 1-11

NTRODUCTION
Charging the Batteries
Before using the Vista XL monitor for the first time, charge the internal battery for a
maximum of 4.5 hours and the external battery for 3.5 hours. When the monitor
receives DC power, batteries recharge automatically.
The optional SLA Battery Charger can charge four fully depleted external batteries
simultaneously in approximately 3.5 hours. To start a fast-charge, insert the batteries
into the slots of the battery charger with the metal contacts facing down.
NOTE:
z T o retain charge during transport, leave the monitor connected until you are
ready to move the patient. Reconnect the monitor immediately after transport. Dräger Medical recommends replacing lead-acid battery after 18 months of continued use.
z Dräger Medical recommends replacing the internal lithium ion battery after 24
months of use.
z To prevent premature depletion, recharge batteries immediately after
discharging them. Lead-acid batteries degrade rapidly if left several days in an uncharged state.
z In storage, lead-acid batteries discharge slowly over time and may become
depleted after several months. Batteries stored for use with the monitor should be recharged every six months.
CAUTION: This charger is intended for charging the monitor batteries only. Do not use other chargers or batteries.
When the monitor receives DC power, batteries recharge automatically.

• In Automatic display mode, connected parameters are displayed according to their priority in the Parameter Priority list. If all available channels are filled, a higher priority parameter will NOT “bump” lower priority parameter boxes off the Main Screen when the associated device is connected. In order to display the parameter, the user must double-click on the parameter in the Parameter Priority list.
• In OR Mode, if all avai lable channels are filled, a higher priority parameter will “bump” lower priority parameter boxes off the Main Screen when the associated device is connected.
To change the display order of a parameter whether or not the associated device is connected:
1) Scroll to Display Mode.
2) Select Manual.
3) Click on Parameter Priority to highlight the first listed parameter.
Note: Parameters are numbered according to their priority. The display is color coded: A green parameter label indicates that the associated parameter device (e.g., an NBP hose/cuff) is connected to the monitor. A white label indicates that the device is not connected.
4) Scroll the list to the parameter you wish to move and click.
5) Move the parameter to its new place using the rotary knob.
6) Click to confirm the parameter’s new position on the list.
7) Click again to return to Parameter Priority.
8) Scroll to the arrow at the upper left corner of the menu to exit, or continue to set up other Main Screen submenu functions.

ETWORK APPLICATIONS

Overview

By connecting your bedside monitor to a network, you can access a patient’s information from any other networked monitor or from a central workstation. Each of these devices can present Main Screen information for remote viewing.
The Infinity Network‘ links monitors and other devices to a central station and to each other, providing a wide range of monitoring functions. On the MultiView‘ you can display information from up to 16 networked monitors simultaneously. (For more information on the central station, see the Infinity CentralStation Instructions for Use.)
WARNING: Loss of communication between the Infinity CentralStation and the bedside monitor is possible. Dräger recommends using the bedside monitor for primary diagnosis and the Infinity CentralStation for patient viewing.
The DirectNet feature allows you to connect your monitor directly to the Infinity network (see page 3-3).
Your monitor’s RemoteView‘ function allows you to display other networked monitor screens, print remote recordings, and silence remote alarms (see page 3-10). Via the Remote Control function on the MultiV iew, you can perform the following tasks at the central station for any bedside monitor:
z Initiate recordings z Modify alarm limits z Silence alarms z Initiate an Arrhythmia or Respiration Relearn z Print the current monitor screen on a network laser printer (via the optional
Remote Keypad)
Enter, edit, and view patient data
WARNING: Never rely on the central station to evaluate a patient. Always check patient status at bedside.

ETWORK APPLICATIONS

Wireless Network

The V i sta XL can op erate in a wire less ne twork which allows the monitor to establish and maintain contact with the Infinity network and the central station without being connected by cable.
A wireless monitor transmits and receives data with the help of a wireless LAN PC card installed in the Memory Card slot on the monitor. The wireless card communicates with access points which are strategically placed within a monitoring unit in order to cover the desired transmission area.
NOTE: Wireless networking is a locked option. Contact your biomed for more information.
A wireless network offers the following:
z Seamless Patient Relocation — Patient and monitor can be moved to a
different room or care unit, within the same monitoring unit, without ever losing contact with the Infinity network.
z Simplified Network Setup — Wireless monitors can be networked without
the need of hard-wired hub connectors, which reduces the need for network cables within the hospital. (Note: Central station, access points, and recorders/ printers are connected to the network by cable.)
WARNING: Before operating the monitor in a wireless network configuration, please read the Wireless Network Safety Considerations below.

Wireless Network Safety Considerations

When operating the monitor in a wireless network, please observe the following:
z Before using the wireless monitoring equipment, read the instructions and
safety warnings supplied by the wireless equipment manufacturer.
z While the unit is transmitting or receiving signals, do not hold the
transmitting/receiving unit close to exposed body parts, especially the face or eyes. The antenna/wireless card should be at least 2" (5 cm) away from the body.
z Operation of the wireless network relies on uninterrupted signal transmission
between the transmitting and receiving components of the network. When using the wireless network, be aware that
certain structural limitations within the hospital buildin g may in terfere wit h signal transmission,
other devices emitting radio frequencies, such as leaky microwave ovens or warmers, may interfere with signal transmission,
3-4 VISTA XL VF7
the frequencies emitted by the device may interfere with the operation of other medical equipment.
z The installation of wireless equipment must be performed by qualified
Service technicians. This includes installation, placement, and configuration of WLAN access points. Any changes or modifications to the equipment not expressly approved by the equipment manufacturer may result in equipment malfunction or damage.
z Access points are not considered medical equipment and should be kept out of
the patient’s vicinity.
z Maximum number of beds per access point in wireless mode is eight.

Overview

The Patient Admit screen allows you to enter and edit a patient’ s personal data (name, ID, birth date, height, weight, admit date, and physician). Yo u can admit patients at the bedside monitor or at the central station, provided your monitor is networked. You can also transfer a patient’s data, trends, and calculations from one monitor to another . Transfer procedures differ according to whether or not the source and destination monitors are connected to the Infinity network. Discharging a patient deletes all related data, both on the monitor and at the central station. Monitor and patient settings return to their local default settings and all recordings are cancelled.

DMISSION, TRANSFER, AND DISCHARGE

Transferring Patient Data

You can transfer patient data, including trends, calculations, and event recall data, to or from another monitor. To transfer information involving a non-networked monitor, you must use a PCMCIA memory card. To transfer information over the network, you can use either the the menu system (see pages 4-4 and 4-6). Certain conditions restrict the transfer of patient data:
z Both source and destination monitors must have the same software level
(consult your Biomed for more information).
z You can only transfer calculations if the destination bed supports the
Calculations option (see Chapter 14, Calculations).
CAUTION: When you begin a transfer, the destination monitor discharges the current patient. All patient data currently stored in the destination monitor is overwritten.

Data Transfer Using the Memory Card

Transferring data from one monitor to another with the PCMCIA memory card is a two-step process: you copy data from the source monitor to the card and then from the card to the destination monitor. After the data has been copied to the monitor, it is no longer available on the card.
Copy Patient Data (PCMCIA card required) or Transfer options of
The monitor displays the current patient’s name and ID number at the beginning of a data transfer. Because the data on the card overwrites data on the destination monitor, you can overwrite one patient’s data with another’s, effectively discharging the former and admitting the latter. Make sure you copy information to the destination monitor before you perform significant monitoring functions.
Memory Card Transfer
WARNING:
z Use electrostatic discharge (ESD) prevention practices
when inserting the PCMCIA card into the monitor. In some environmental conditions, insertion of the memory card could cause the monitor to reset as the result of an ESD event.
z The patient’s stored event and trend information will be
lost after the monitor resets.
z Monitoring does not occur during data transfer.

Overview

You can configure the monitor to display alarm limits--parameter thresholds--which, if violated, trigger an alarm. Limits are displayed both on the alarm limits table and in parameter boxes, where visual or audible alarms alert you to limit violations. Depending on the alarm condition, the monitor announces alarms using one or more of the following indicators:
z Audible tones that reflect the severity of the alarm z Color changes in the parameter box of the alarm parameter z Alarm messages in the local message area z External alarm devices such as a nurse call system z Activation of an alarm recording
The monitor issues alarms for parameters turned page 5-5). It is not a prerequisite for the parameter to be on display or connected for a parameter to alarm.
The monitor does not alarm for Injectate Temperature (IT), Paced beats (% Paced) or Cerebral Perfusion Pressure (CPP)or N2O.
ON in the Alarm Limits table (see

Networked Alarms

The network can broadcast alarm messages to any monitor or central station within the network. In the Infinity network, you can also group monitors into separate alarm groups to limit the number of messages posted at a given device (see page 3-10).
Monitors connected to the network automatically relay alarms to the central station. If the central station cannot acknowledg e an alarm within 10 seconds (because of a network interruption, for instance), the monitor displays the message,
Error,
and sounds a tone at maximum volume (100%). The alarm volume remains set
at 100% until you change it on the Alarm Limits menu (page 5-5).
Network Alarm

Alarm Grades

The monitor has three alarm levels: life-threatening, serious, and advisory . Each alarm grade has its own distinctive alarm tone and alarm color. If more than one alarm occurs simultaneously, the parameter boxes continue to blink, but the monitor sounds only the highest grade alarm. The cause of an alarm is displayed in the local message area at the top left of the screen. If life-threatening and serious alarms occur simultaneously, the monitor displays the associated alarm messages in sequence. All alarm grades activate any external alarm system which is connected to the monitor.
5-2 VISTA XL VF7
ALARM GRADES
You can define alarm grades for arrhythmia and ST parameters only, using the
arrhythmia setup table (see page 9-6) or the ST alarms table (see page 10-7).
Some alarms are latched: they continue to annunciate visually and audibly until you
acknowledge them manually, even if the condition that caused the alarm no longer
exists. Other alarms may be latched only partially, as indicated in the following table.
To acknowledge (or silence) a latched alarm, press the
Alarms Off

Alarm Grade Latching and Recording Behavior Visual Audio
Alarm Silence or the All
L-T (Life­Threatening)
SER (Serious) (e.g., neonatal
apnea, patient safety conditions during NBP measurements)
Note: Life Threatening and Serious alarms do not latch in OR mode.
ADV (Advisory) (technical conditions,
e.g., misapplied transducer or disconnected lead)
Life-threatening alarms are latched and initiate an alarm recording if the recording function is enabled in the alarm limits table.
Note: Life Threatening and Serious alarms do not latch in OR mode; see page 2-11 for more information.
Only the alarm message is latched; it continues to display when the alarm condition ceases, while the parameter box stops flashing and the alarm tone ceases. Serious alarms initiate an alarm recording if the recording function is enabled in the alarm limits table.
Alarms cease as soon as the cause of the alarm disappears or you acknowledge the alarm. Advisory alarms initiate an alarm recording for events whose recording function is enabled in the arrhythmia or ST table.
Note: Some advisory alarms will cease during an All Alarms Off alarm timeout but will return after the timeout if the condition persists.
