The Monitoring System
The monitor can function by itself with a built-in writer, or it can be
cabled in with the optional Unity Network
components are, if using Wireless LAN or cabled to Ethernet, a
Centralscope™ central station and the Clinical Information Center
(CIC).
Dash 3000/4000 Monitor
This device is designed to monitor a fixed set of parameters including
ECG, noninvasive blood pressure, impedance respiration, SpO2, and
temperature. Invasive pressure and EtCO2 are optional features.
Additional specialized features include cardiac output, cardiac
calculations, pulmonary calculations, dose calculations, PA wedge (PA
wedge is only avai lable wi th the in vasive pr essure op tion), SA M
interface, and the ICG module interface.

How to Install and Remove a Module
A module can be easily installed and removed.
To install a module follow this procedure:
1. Facing the module housing, guide the back end of the modul e into the
slot.
2. Gently push the module into the housing. You will hear a click when
the module is fully inserted.
To remove a module follow this procedure:
1. Release levers are found on each side on the front of the module*.
2. Press and hold the release l evers sim ultaneo usly and p ull the module
out about six inches.
3. Once released, grasp the module firmly with both hands and remove
the rest of the way. Do not try to hold the m o dule by the release
levers.
*The release levers for SAM modules are recessed in the side of the
protruding front of the module.

Optional SAM Module Information
Disabling Halothane and Enflurane
When using the SAM module with the monitor, the detection of low
values of halothan e and enflurane, due to non-analyzed gases in the
circuit, can be disabled.
This option defaults off. If you do not want the system to detect and
display low values for halothane and enflurane, you must turn DISABLE
SAM HAL and DISABLE SAM ENF on. These options are found under
SETUP DEFAULT DISP LAY in the Monitor Defaults Menu.
127(Halothane and enflurane values greater than 1% are displayed
in the Gas parameter window even when this feature is on.
Values les s than 1% are not displayed.
Display MAC Value
When using the SAM module with the monitor, the current MAC value
can be displayed in the GAS parameter window. The MAC value is the
minimum alveolar concentration of an agent needed to produce an
anesthetizing effect in 50% of the population.
This option defaults off but can be turned on in Monitor Defaults under
SETUP DEFAULT DISP LAY. Thi s option can als o be turned on/off us ing
the DISPLAY MAC VALUE menu op tion from the Gas Menu.
When on, the MAC value is displayed in the third agent slot in the Gas
parameter window.

will not appear in the Gas parameter window.
