Controls and indicators

The user interface consists of a flat panel display and the keypad assembly that includes a Trim Knob control, function keys, and LED indicators.

Flat panel display

The active-matrix color liquid crystal display (LCD) is assembled into a shock absorbing isolator that fits within the patient monitor’s front bezel to protect the display from mechanical shock during use.

The acrylic optical filter protects the display panel from impact and enhances visibility with its non-glare surface coating on the viewing side of the filter. It also has a scratch-resistance surface coating.

Trim Knob control

The Trim Knob control is a 24-position rotary control with a push selection switch.

Power key

The patient monitor is powered at all times when it is plugged into AC power. When the patient monitor is not plugged in to AC power, press this key to turn on and turn off the patient monitor.

When AC power is present, this key toggles the operational mode of the patient monitor between normal operation and stand-by mode. In standby mode patient monitoring discontinues. Only the charging function continues and the charging status indicators operate as described below.

Indicators

While the patient monitor powers up or changes between normal mode and standby mode, all four front panel indicators illuminate.

AC power indicator

The indicator lights green when AC mains power is applied to the patient monitor (including when the patient monitor is in the standby mode). The indicator does not illuminate when the patient monitor has no AC mains power.

Battery power indicator

The indicator lights yellow when the patient monitor is operating on battery power.

The indicator does not illuminate when the patient monitor has no battery power.

Charging status indicators

An icon for each battery indicates its charging status. The battery icon lights yellow when the respective battery is being charged. If both batteries are present and require charging, then both icons illuminate even though they will be charged sequentially. The battery icon lights green when the respective battery is fully charged.

When the patient monitor is operating under battery power the battery icons are not illuminated. The icons are also not illuminated when the respective battery is either not being charged, not installed, or has failed.

The following table explains what the charging status indicators mean.

NOTE

No specific indicator distinguishes a failed battery pack condition from a condition where the battery is not installed or is not being charged. Go to the Service Menu for Battery Status. Refer to “Battery alarms and messages” on

LED color	Explanation
Yellow	Two battery icons, labeled Charging Status A and B, illuminate yellow
	when the respective battery is being charged. If both batteries are present
	and require charging, then both icons illuminate yellow even though they
	charge sequentially.
Green	The icon lights green when the respective battery is fully charged.
No light	The icon does not illuminate under the following conditions:
	 The respective battery is not installed.
	 The patient monitor is operating on battery power.
	 A failure condition has been detected for the respective battery.

Battery status indicators

The battery status indicators are located inside the battery compartment. One green LED indicator is located above each of the two battery slots and lights green when the patient monitor is receiving power solely from the respective battery. The indicators do not illuminate when the patient monitor is not battery powered.

Neither indicator lights when the patient monitor is operating from both batteries simultaneously (e.g., in a very low battery charge condition when both batteries are joined together in order to sustain operation of the patient monitor).

Battery capacity gauge

On-screen capacity gauges indicate the battery's current state of health and charge status. A battery capacity gauge for each battery present displays below the parameter blocks in the lower right corner of the display. The capacity gauge indicates the remaining charge capacity (usable energy left) for each battery.

The capacity gauges fill in from left to right proportional to the battery charge level. The solid portion represents the full charge capacity of the battery as a percentage of its design capacity.

WARNING

EXPLOSION OR FIRE - Using non-recommended batteries could result in injury/burns to patients and users. Only use batteries recommended or manufactured by GE. The warranty can be voided if non-recommended batteries are used.

Dash patient monitors running software versions 5.4 or later only recognize and charge GE recommended batteries. Non-recommended batteries will run, but not charge, the Dash patient monitor. If battery is labeled GE Approved, the battery is compatible.

NOTE

Incompatible batteries display an “ERROR” message in the Battery Capacity

Gauge on the bottom right corner of the patient monitor screen.

Verify compatibility of an unmarked battery as follows.

1.Install a battery pack in the patient monitor.

2.Using the Trim Knob control, access the Service Mode menu starting from the Main Menu. Select MORE MENUS > MONITOR SETUP > SERVICE MODE.

3.Enter password using the Trim Knob control to select the day and month from patient monitor screen with leading zeros. (e.g. July 4 = 0407).

4.Select BATTERY SERVICE.

5.Verify that the MANUFACTURER NAME does not display INCOMPAT, NME, or UNKNOWN for the battery corresponding to BATTERY A or

BATTERY B slot.

Wireless connection

The flexibility of the optional GE Unity Network is increased by using the wireless network. The wireless connection allows the user to roam from one access point to another, maintaining a strong seamless connection to the Unity Network. GE offers 802.11 and 802.11b wireless options.

The patient monitor, with its optional built-in wireless card, functionally performs the same as a patient monitor connected directly to the optional Unity Network. It can be viewed at the central station and by other GE monitors on the network (e.g., Dash 3000/4000/5000, Eagle™ 4000, and Solar™ patient monitors). Patient monitors with a wireless connection can send and receive patient data via the access points to the Unity Network.

NOTE

It is recommended that wireless patient monitors that are moved from room to room have their patient monitor type configured as Rover or Rover/Combo monitoring.

To extend the Unity Network to a hospital’s 802.11b wireless network, a proper installation and configuration needs to be performed. To maintain continuous wireless patient monitoring, refer to the wireless LAN Configuration Guide and contact GE for consultation in integrating the Unity Network to a 802.11b wireless network.

To identify a patient monitor with the wireless option, look for the wireless LAN label.
