To install a module
CAUTION
SIMUL TANEOUS CONNECTION OF TRAM AND PDM — The
patient monitor only supports patient monitoring from one primary
ECG acquisition device at a time. A Patient Data Module (PDM)
and a TRAM module cannot be used to monitor a patient at the
same time.
If a PDM is connected to the patient monitor when monitoring from
a TRAM module has already been established, a ‘CONNECTING’
message is displayed on the monitor.
If a TRAM module is connected to the patient monitor when
monitoring from a PDM has already been established, no parameter
or waveform data from the TRAM module is displayed.
NOTE
When switching between primary acquisition devices (e.g., TRAM module
to PDM, or PDM to TRAM module), the patient monitor will perform a
reconnection cycle that can last up to two minutes. During this cycle, there is
a loss of displayed parameters and waveform data.
NOTE
An error message displays if an incompatible module is connected. Refer to
the “CARESCAPE Monitor B850 Addendum for Device Compatibility” for
details.

Electrical safety tests
Electrical safety tests provide a method of determining if potent ial electrical health
hazards to the patient or operator of the device exist.
Recommendations
Qualified personnel must perform all safety tests presented in this section.
Upon receipt of the device (patient monitor and its associated equipment). Refer
to “Installation checkout procedure” on page 5-16 for more information.
Every 12 months thereafter (planned maintenance). Refer to “Maintenance
schedule” on page 7-2 for more information.
Each time the main enclosure is disassembled or a circuit board is removed,
tested, repaired, or replaced (corrective maintenance). Refer to “Recommended
checkout” on page 9-10 and 9-20.
Record the values of each required electrical safety test in the “Check form” on
page B-3, or equivalent.
These instructions are intended for every component in the system. If the Tram-Rac
housing does not have its own power supply, it should remain connected to the patient
monitor throughout the safety tests.
WARNING
Only perform maintenance procedures specifically described in the
manual.
WARNING
Preventive maintenance should be carried out annually. Failure to
implement the recommended maintenance schedule may cause
equipment failure and possible health hazards.
NOTE
The manufacturer does not, in any manner, assume the responsibility for
