Dräger recommends that:
Maintenance, modifications, and repairs are carried out by trained personnel.
Components are replaced with Dräger provided spare parts, otherwise the
correct functioning of the device may be compromised.
Devices are used in accordance with Dräger Instructions for Use.
General Electrical Safety
WARNING:
To protect the patient from possible injury due to
electrical shock:
Before putting a patient monitor into use, the installer
must verify that its leakage current meets the electrical
safety requirements of IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-1
(the safety standards for Medical Electrical Systems).
Connecting several medical devices to a patient
simultaneously increases the leakage current to which
that patient is exposed. Peripheral devices should only
be connected to a patient monitor within the same
room.
The installer or service provider should verify that the
interconnected system’s leakage currents meet the
electrical safety requirements mentioned above. The
installer or service provider should also verify that the
electrical safety classification of each device is
suitable for the intended application.
To avoid electric shock, inspect all cables before use.
Never use cables that appear cracked, worn, or
damaged in any way (doing so may compromise
performance or put the patient at risk).
To ensure that the device is properly grounded,
connect the AC adapter, communication power supply
module, and IDS power supply to a hospital-grade
outlet.
CAUTION: To avoid injuring the patient, do not touch any connector or mounting
screw on the device when you are touching the patient. Do not allow the conductive
parts of electrodes and cables to ever contact other conductive parts or ground, either.
NOTE: The potential equalization terminal can help ensure that a voltage difference
does not exist between multiple pieces of equipment.

INFINITY DELTA SERIES USER’S GUIDE
Defibrillator Precautions
The monitor and peripheral devices are protected against high-frequency interference
from defibrillators and electrosurgical units and against 50- and 60-Hz power line
interference. Following defibrillation, the monitor begins displaying waveform data
again within 10 seconds if the correct electrodes are used and those electrodes are
applied in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION:
Only defibrillate across the chest.
To avoid potentially re-routing electrical current through electrodes, thus
causing burns and electric shock, do not position the defibrillator pads near
any electrodes or sensors.
To protect the monitor from damage during defibrillation, for accurate ECG
information, and to protect against noise and other interference, use only ECG
electrodes and cables specified by Dräger.
Pacemakers
NOTE: See the section “Pacemakers” on page 8-3 for safety precautions when
monitoring paced patients.
Peripheral Devices
NOTE: See the section “Precautions” on page 28-5 for safety precautions when using
a Medical Information Bus (MIB) protocol device or the Independent Surgical Display.
WARNING: Electrical connections to equipment which is not
listed in these Instructions for Use should only be made
following consultation with the respective manufacturer.
Electrosurgery
To support user and patient safety and to reduce electro-surgical unit (ESU)
interference, observe the following precautions during electrosugery.
VF8 DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA 11
I
NFINITY DELTA SERIES USER’S GUIDE
WARNING:
The NeoMed and MultiMed 12 pods are not intended for
use during electrosurgery. To protect patients from
burns, do not use these pods in an ESU environment.
For better performance and to reduce the hazard of
burns during surgery, always use accessories designed
for ESU environments.
To reduce the hazard of burns during surgery, keep the
sensor or transducer (ECG, temperature, pressure,
SpO
, BISx) and their associated cables away from the
2
surgical site, the electro-surgical unit return electrode,
and earth ground.
Always use a Dräger ESU block or MultiMed Plus OR
cable with compatible lead wires. Doing so reduces
ESU interference and protects the patient from burns
caused by ESU-induced current flowing through the
lead wires. For better performance, also set the ECG filter option to ESU.
Dräger recommends using the ESU block during
electrosurgery. If you do not have an ESU block or a
MultiMed Plus OR, use only Dräger blue ECG lead sets.
They help protect the patient from burns caused by
ESU-induced current flowing through the leads.
While the ESU block or the MultiMed Plus OR cable are
in use, impedance respiration monitoring is inoperative
and the detection of pacemaker spikes is degraded. If
pacemaker detection is enabled, the ESU interference
may be detected as pacemaker spike.
Dräger recommends the use of the MultiMed Plus OR
during electrosurgery only.
Do not use the MultiMed Plus OR cable with Dräger blue
ECG lead wires. Doing so, will degrade performance
which can result in inaccurate values.
NOTE:
Use SpO
Use rectal temperature probe sheaths to cover internally placed temperature
instead of the ECG parameter to determine heart rate.

INFINITY DELTA SERIES USER’S GUIDE
Electromagnetic Compatibility
The monitor has been designed and tested for compliance with current regulatory
standards (IEC 60601-1-2 and CISPR 11 Class B) regarding its capacity to reduce
electromagnetic emissions (EMI) and to block EMI from external sources.
Dräger recommends these procedures to reduce electromagnetic interference:
Use only Dräger provided accessories, otherwise the correct functioning of
the device may be compromised (see appendix C).
Ensure that other products in patient-monitoring and/or life-support areas
comply to accepted emissions standards (CISPR 11, Class B).
Maximize distance between electro medical 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.
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.
Maintain good cable management. Avoid routing cables over electrical
equipment. Do not intertwine cables.
Ensure electrical maintenance is done by qualified personnel.

The Kappa video display is not battery-backed. When power is lost, nothing
appears on screen unless the video display is connected to an Uninterruptable
Power Supply (UPS). Dräger recommends the use of a UPS with the Kappa
video display. The UPS must meet the electrical safety requirements of IEC
60601-1 or be connected to an isolation transformer that meets those
requirements (see the “Electrical Safety” section).
Connecting the Kappa monitor, Video display unit, and the optional UPS
requires multiple line cords. To reduce the chance of electromagnetic
interference from magnetic fields, the power cords should be run as close
together as reasonably possible to reduce loop area.
The video output connector on the back of the Kappa is not galvanically
isolated.
If you use a video monitor other than one specified by Dräger, it must comply
with IEC 60601-1 and be suitable for use in the presence of flammable
anesthetic mixtures (see “Safety Considerations” on page 6). Based on the
intended use of the system, the video monitor must also have suitable
classifications for water ingress protection as well as radiated and conducted
emissions. Upon installation, the installer must make sure that all of these
requirements are met.

Battery Power
The Delta/Delta 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 approximately 50 minutes. If it runs low or you
remove it from a monitor that has been using battery power, the monitor automatically
switches to an internal battery, which can power the monitor for approximately 180
minutes (see page B-8).
NOTE: The SC7000/9000XL monitor's internal lead-acid battery can power the
monitor for approximately 75 minutes.

CAUTION:
It is strongly recommended that you use batteries that are provided by Dräger.
The use of non-approved batteries may damage the device.
Do not transport the patient using this monitor if the internal battery charge is
at 25% or less, unless you are using a fully charged external battery.
High temperatures may adversely affect batteries. For optimal performance,
charge and use external batteries at temperatures below 35 °C (95 °F).
Follow local regulations for disposal of batteries. To prevent fire or explosion,
never dispose of batteries in fire.
NOTE:
To maximize the available charge for transport, leave the monitor connected
until you are ready to move the patient. Reconnect the monitor immediately
after transport.
Dräger recommends replacing any lead-acid or lithium ion battery after 24
months of continued use. Battery life may vary depending upon usage.
To prevent premature depletion, recharge the batteries immediately after
discharging them. This is particularly important for lead-acid batteries which
degrade rapidly if left in an uncharged state for several days.
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.
Immediately connect monitor to AC
adapter, or Infinity Docking Station.
Replace external battery.

ETWORK APPLICATIONS
Overview
By connecting your bedside monitor to a network, you can access a patient’s
information from any other monitor that is connected to the network or from a central
station. 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 Infinity
CentralStation
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.)
Your monitor’s RemoteView
function allows you to display other networked
monitor screens, print remote recordings, and silence remote alarms (see page 3-13).
Via the Remote Control function on the Infinity CentralStation, you can perform the
following tasks at the central station for any bedside monitor:
Initiate recordings
Modify alarm limits
Silence alarms
Initiate an arrhythmia or respiration relearn
Print the current monitor screen on a network laser printer (via the optional
remote keypad)
Enter, edit, and view patient data

CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
Connecting to the Network
Connecting the monitor to the network via the Infinity Docking Station (IDS) gives
you access to the following:
Power
Infinity network
Bedside recorder
Nurse call alarm
Remote keypad
Memory for storing monitor setup defaults
Scio MultiGas modules for anesthetic and respiratory monitoring
MIB device interfaces
The DirectNet feature allows you to connect your monitor directly to the Infinity
network, bypassing the need for a Docking Station or Infinity Docking Station.
DirectNet does not support the MultiGas module or MIB protocol.
Connecting the Delta/Delta XL to the Network
For the Delta/Delta XL, you can also use a Docking Station, to access the network
(refer to the
Infinity Docking Station and Docking Station Power Supply Hardware
Installation Instructions).
Connecting the monitor to the
network:
1. Place the monitor on the IDS or Docking
Station using both hands — one holding
the handle, the other steadying the
monitor. Make sure the monitor clicks
firmly into place.
2. Slide the lever to the right to lock the
monitor in place.
Be sure the monitor is securely positioned, as the
lever does not move unless the monitor is seated properly. A battery charge indicator

monitor to establish and maintain contact with the Infinity network and the central
station without being connected by cable or docked at a Docking Station.
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.
A wireless network offers the following:
Seamless patient transport — A wireless monitor continues to communicate
with the Infinity network during Pick and Go transport situations and its data
remains on the central display after leaving the bedside Docking Station.
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.
Simplified network setup — Wireless monitors can be networks without the
need of docking stations or 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.

Wireless Network Safety Considerations
When operating the monitor in a wireless network, observe the following:
While the monitor 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 5 cm (2 inch) away from
the body.
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 building may interfere with
signal transmission,
— other devices emitting radio frequencies, such as leaky microwave ovens or
warmers, may interfere with signal transmission,
— the frequencies emitted by the device may interfere with the operation of
other medical equipment.
Wireless mode does not support Infinity Explorer.
The maximum number of wireless beds per dedicated access point is six.

Software Licenses
Optional software functions must be “unlocked” (activated) with the proper license
before you can use them. Your hospital’s technical personnel can transfer licenses and
optional software from the monitor to the network and vice-versa. Refer to your
Service and installation manual for more information on transferring Dräger product
licenses.
License Transfer via PICK AND GO (Delta/Delta XL only)
The Pick and Go function allows you to upload the monitor setups of the care unit
where it redocks. If the monitor does not have licenses that support the care unit
setups, the care unit’s IDS (if a Docking Station is being used) temporarily “loans” its
licenses to the monitor. The following guidelines apply to the transfer of locked
options involving Pick and Go.
When the IDS of the care unit transfers its setups to a monitor, it temporarily
adds its licenses as well. These “loaned” licenses temporarily unlock options
on the monitor.
Temporary licenses remain valid on the monitor even after it undocks from
the care unit for transport.

Overview
The Patient Admit screen allows you to enter and edit a patient’s demographic data
(name, ID, birth date, height, weight, admit date, and physician). You can admit
patients at the bedside monitor or at the central station, provided your monitor is
connected to the network. 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.

TRANSFERRING PATIENT DATA
NOTE:
To change the patient’s category (adult, pediatric, or neonatal), you must access
the Patient Setup menu (see page 2-1).
If you change a patient’s category, the weight selection is cleared and must be
entered again.
In neonatal mode additional settings (gestational age and birth weight) are
available. Day of Life and corrected GA values also appear in a read only field.
Entries and changes regarding a patient’s height and weight affect all other
monitor menus and displays that use this information.
When you admit a patient from the CentralStation to a monitor that is connected
to the Infinity network, you can enter additional patient data such as sex,
religion, blood type, and telephone number. You cannot, however, view this
additional data at the monitor. For information on admission at the central
station, see the Instructions For Use for the Infinity CentralStation.
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:

Both source and destination monitors must have the same software level
(consult your hospital’s technical personnel for more information).
Calculations only transfer if the destination bed supports that option (see chapter 16,
Calculations).
CAUTION: When you begin a transfer, the destination monitor automatically
discharges its current patient. All current patient data stored in the destination monitor
is overwritten with the new patient's data.

DMISSION, TRANSFER, AND DISCHARGE
Data Transfer Using the Memory Card
Transferring data from one monitor to another with the PCMCIA memory card is a
two-step process:
1. Copy data from the source monitor to the card.
2. Copy the data from the card to the destination monitor.
After the data has been copied to the destination monitor, it is no longer available on
the card. 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:
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.
The patient’s stored event and trend information will be
lost after the monitor resets.
Monitoring does not occur during data transfer.
CAUTION: Do not remove the memory card while a copy is in process. If the transfer
fails, repeat the procedure using a new card.
NOTE: A memory card transfer from a monitor with VF8 level software to a monitor
with a lower level software functions appropriately. However, a memory card transfer
from a monitor with a lower level software to one with a VF8 level software is no
supported.
