User Interface

Flat Panel Display

Tri m Knob Control Power Key

Function Keys

The User Interface consists of a flat panel display and the keypad assembly which consists of a Trim Knob, five function keys, and four LED indicators.

The active-matrix color liquid crystal display (LCD) is assembled into a

shock absorbing isolator that fits within the 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.

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

The monitor is powered at all times when it is plugged into AC power. When the monitor is not plugged in to AC power, this key turns the

monitor On and Off. When AC power is present, this key toggles the operational mode of the

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.

Fixed Keys

Four fixed function keys are provided for GRAPH GO/STOP, NBP GO/ STOP, ZERO ALL, and SILENCE ALARM/ADMIT.

EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW: Components

Indicators

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

AC Power Indicator

The indicator illuminates green when AC mains power is applied to the monitor (including when the monitor is in the standby mode). The indicator does not illuminate when the monitor is not powered by AC mains power.

Battery Power Indicator

The indicator illuminates yellow when the monitor is operating on battery power. The indicator does not illuminate when the monitor is not battery powered.

Charging Status Indicators

The following table explains what the Charging Status indicators mean.

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 illuminates 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 monitor is operating on battery power.

• A failure condition has been detected for the respective battery.

“Battery In Use” Indicators

The “Battery In Use” indicator (inside the battery door) illuminates green when the monitor is receiving power solely from the respective battery. The indicators do not illuminate when the monitor is not battery powered.

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

EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW: Components

Optional Wireless LAN System

Access Points

The flexibility of the optional GE Unity Network is increased by using the Wireless LAN system. The Wireless LAN system allows the user to roam from one access point to another, maintaining a strong, seamless connection to the Unity network.

The monitor, with its optional built-in Wireless LAN, functionally performs the same as a monitor connected directly to the optional Unity network. It can be viewed at the central station and by other GE monitors on the network (i.e. Dash 3000/4000, Eagle 4000, and Solar patient monitors). Monitors with Wireless LAN sends and receives patient data via the access points of the Unity network.

NOTE: Wireless patient monitors that are moved from room to room

must have the monitor type configured as Rover or Rover/Combo monitoring.

To integrate the wireless network with the wired network, one or more access points are necessary. An access point connects the wireless monitor to the wired network infrastructure within the building, and acts as a bridge between the wired and wireless networks. The areas covered by each access point overlap to insure continuous coverage.

NOTE: The monitor will only work with a Symbol Access Point. The

monitor will not communicate directly with a Wireless LAN device from Aironet.

Software Packages and Software Options

Software Packages

The Dash monitor comes configured with the Basic software package. This package consists of standard-of-care parameters, lethal arrhythmia detection, dose calculations, and features required by clinicians caring for acutely ill patients.

Two additional software packages can be purchased separately or in any combination. These packages provide a variety of features which allow the monitor to be configured to best meet the needs of its intended environment.

The Cardiac software package focuses on cardiac conductivity. Its features include full arrhythmia analysis and storage, as well as ST segment trending, storage, and templates. The ability to adjust the ST measurement point is also included in this package.

The Cardiopulmonary software package centers upon cardiac and pulmonary hemodynamics. Features include the PA insert and wedge algorithms, the intra-aortic balloon pump algorithm, and the thermodilution cardiac output algorithm, including predefined computation constants for the catheters of major manufacturers. Also included are cardiac and pulmonary calculations.

Software Options

Three software options can be purchased separately or in any combination with the software packages and software options.

The High Resolution CRG Trends option provides storage of up to 100 CRG events, and up to 24 hours of CRG trend data, in addition to the CRG feature set found in the Basic software package.

The 12SL ECG analysis program with Gender Specific Criteria and the

Acute Cardiac Ischemia–Time Insensitive Predictive Instrument (ACITIPI) analysis option uses recorded ECG data to produce a numerical score which is the predicted probability of acute cardiac ischemia. In addition, the gender specific criteria improves the detection of acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) in women.

The Unity Network option enables you to view other patients on the network, interface with a central station and other network devices, and perform Combo or Rover Combo monitoring.

INSTALLATION: Optional Ethernet Communication

Optional Ethernet Communication

Overview

Twisted Pair

Concentrator

Ethernet is a local area network used as the main link of the optional GEUnity network, a comprehensive information communication system. The Unity network offers the high rate of communication of 10 megabits per second. The Ethernet connector connects to an Ethernet transceiver directly or via a transceiver cable. This local area network links all patient monitors, central stations, and other GEequipment throughout the hospital. Depending on the construction of the hospital, thick-net, thin-net, or twisted pair cabling is used.

Twisted pair is the most popular cabling because it is easy to install and flexible to work with. It uses the star topology with a concentrator as the hub of the segment. Each of the network devices is connected directly to the concentrator so longer lengths of cable are required. A maximum of 100 meters or 328 feet is the longest length of twisted pair cable used. The number of devices is limited to the amount of connectors at the concentrator.

The concentrator is simply a transceiver that passes all network data between any two branches in the LAN. Note that the concentrator passes all network data between the two branches, regardless of whether or not one node is sending data to another node on the same branch.

To implement the star topology, each network device is connected to a concentrator. The concentrator functions as a central hub and simply passes all network data between each network device in the star segment. Typically, the concentrator supports 8 to 12 network devices and may be linked to other concentrators to form larger networks.

3-6 Dash 3000/4000 Patient Monitor Revision B

2000966-105

INSTALLATION: Optional Ethernet Communication

Node

Segment and Branch

Each network device or node is assigned an address number and requires a transceiver to interface between the network device and the network. For thick-net and thin-net cabling a transceiver and a serial drop cable connects to the main trunk. The serial drop cable is sometimes referred to as an AUI (attachment unit interface) transceiver cable. For twisted pair cabling, the transceiver to connected directly to the network device.

Some Ethernet systems are comprised of smaller, stand-alone Ethernet systems (called branches or segments) that are connected by bridges, concentrators, or repea ters. Many nodes on the Et hernet network may be serviced by one segment or branch. Each segment may support many patient monitors, central stations, and auxiliary devices.

For example, one segment may connect all the patient monitors and central stations in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and another may connect the monitoring system in the CCU (Critical Care Unit). Each segment could be a fully-functioning stand-alone system if they were not connected to each other. However, with a bridge or repeater to connect the ICU (one segment) with the CCU (the other segment), information can pass between any of the nodes (patient monitors and central stations) on either branch similar to a patient transfer from one unit to another.

A section is a single length of twisted pair cable with a RJ-45 connector on each end. A section goes from one twisted pair transceiver to the concentrator. A segment is comprised of all the sections of twisted pair cable connected in a star formation to one concentrator.

Repeater

A repeater is used to extend the length of cabling when the distance required exceeds the length of the cable specifications. It is simply a transceiver that passes all network data between any two segments. Note that the repeater passes all network data between the two segments, regardless of whether or not the one node is sending data to another node on the same segment.

Revision B Dash 3000/4000 Patient Monitor 3-7

2000966-105

INSTALLATION: Optional Ethernet Communication

Bridge

Twisted Pair Cabling (10BaseT)

A bridge is more selective than a repeater with the data that it passes between segments. It also acts as a transceiver between two segments, but it only passes signals if a node on one of the segments is attempt ing to communicate with a node on the other segment. Since the majority of communication on the network occurs within a single segment, the bridge does not pass all of the data from one segment to the other. This lowers the amount of data traffic passing between segments, and makes the network more efficient than a system that is connected with repeaters.

T wisted pair is an IEEE 802.3 local area network that uses flat and small diameter cable containing four pairs of twisted wires to connect devices. Twisted pair operates at the same speed as thin-net and thick-net (10 megabits/second), but the cable distances extended up to 100 meters (328 feet).

A twisted pair transceiver passes data back and forth between the network device and t he LAN. It is a ttached di rectly to the n etwork dev ice at the at the 15-pin D-type connector. The twisted pair cable is connected from the RJ-45 connector at the transceiver and the RJ-45 connector at the concentrator.

NOTE: Some devices (like Octacomm/Solar 8000M patient monitor)

have 10BaseT standard meaning that the RJ-45 connector is part of the product and the twisted pair transceiver is not required.

Symbol PC Card (Wireless LAN)

The Symbol PC card, installed in the monitor, uses a 2.4 GHz frequency band and a Frequency Hopping spread spectrum (FHSS). T he Frequency Hopping spread spectrum meets IEEE 802.11 standards.

Two diversity antennas, installed in the handle of the monitor, radiates the RF energy through the air to a Symbol Access Point. The Symbol Access Point also uses a 2.4 GHz frequency band and the Frequency Hopping spread spectrum.

NOTE: Refer to the Wireless LAN (Symbol Access Point) Installation

and Service Manual for detailed information on the Symbol Access point.

NOTE: The following is required for the monitor to roam from access

point to access point while maintaining Wireless LAN communication with the Unity Network.

• Installation of the RF LAN (Wireless LAN) option.

• Configuration and veri fication of the monitor’s RF LAN operation.

• Activation of the RF LAN by disconnecting the monitor’s Ethernet cable.

MAINTENANCE: Electrical Safety Tests

Power Outlet Test

Ground (Earth) Integrity

Before starting the tests, the power outlet from which the monitoring device will get electrical power must be checked. This test checks the condition of the power outlet to ensure correct results from leakage tests.

For international power outlets, refer to the internal standards agencies of that particular country. Use a digital multimeter to ensure the power outlet is wired properly.

If other than normal polarity and ground is indicated, corrective action must be taken before proceeding. The results of the following tests will be meaningless unless a properly wired power outlet is used.

Listed below are two methods for checking the ground (earth) integrity,

“Ground Continuity Test” and “Impedance of Protective Earth Connection.” These te sts determine whether the device's exposed metal and power inlet's earth (ground) connection has a power ground fault condition.

Perform the test method below that is required by your Country/Local governing safety organization.

Ground Continuity Test

Completion of this test is checked by the following steps:

1. Disconnect the device under test from the power outlet.

2. Connect the negative (-) lead of the DMM to th e protective earth terminal (ground pin in power inlet connector) or the protective eart h pin in the Mains plug (ground pin in power cord). Refer to the US 120Vac power cord figure above.

3. Set the DMM to the milliohm (mΩ) range.

4. Connect the positive (+) lead of the DMM to all exposed metal surfaces on the device under test. If the metal surfaces are anodized or painted, scrape off a small area in a inconspicuous place for the probe to make contact with the metal.

5. Resistance must read:

• 0.1 ohm or less without power cord

• 0.2 ohms or less with power cord

MAINTENANCE: Electrical Safety Tests

Impedance of Protective Earth Connection

This test unlike a ground continuity test will also stress the ground system by using special ground bond testers .

This test normally is only required as a manufacturing production test to receive safety agency compliance (i.e. IEC601-1).

Some country agency’s do require this test after field equipment repairs (i.e. Germany’s DIN VDE 0751 standards).

Consult your country/local safety agency if in question. Compliance is checked by the following steps:

1. A current not less than 10A and not exceeding 25A from a current source with a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz with a no-load voltage not exceeding 6 V is passed for at least 5 s through the protective earth terminal or the protective earth pin in the mains plug and each accessible metal part which could become live in case of failure in basic insulation.

2. The voltage drop between the parts described is measured and the impedance determined from the cur rent and volt age drop. It shal l not exceed the values indicated.

Review Errors

About the Monitor Error Log

Downloading the Error Log

Accessing the Review Errors Menu Option Item

The REVIEW ERRORS menu is an advanced troubleshooting tool used by GE engineering personnel. Some of the information recorded in the monitor error log can be useful for field service troubleshooting.

This section provides an introduction to error log usage and meaning. Because the information contained in the error log is engineeringoriented, the intent of the manual is to simply provide a general understanding of this monitor function.

This section includes a method for downloading error log data over the network to a central station. Once downloaded to a central station, you can load the error log data onto floppy diskettes or review it on the central station.

NOTE: The Unity Network software option must be enabled in order to

download the error log over the network to a central station.

To access the error log and learn more about the REVIEW ERRORS menu option item, follow these steps:

1. Rotate and press the Trim Knob control to select REVIEW ERRORS from the Service Mode Menu.

2. The review errors menu option items include four possible selections; one each for viewing output or input errors along with one each for clearing output or input errors. Rota te and press the Trim Knob control to scroll to and select VIEW OUTPUT ERRORS from the Review Errors Menu.

3. The RUN TIME ERROR LOG pop-up window appears on the left side of the monitor display. One time-dated output software error appears in the pop-up window at a time.

Use the Trim Knob control to scroll through each logged error and peruse all of the parameters associated with each output software error. Rotate the Trim Knob control to move the cursor (>) to a position for viewing the NEXT or PREVIOUS error as well as the position that allows the user to QUIT viewing output errors.

Selecting QUIT closes the RUN TIME ERROR LOG pop-up window and returns to the Review Errors Menu.

4. The VIEW INPUT ERRORS menu causes a RUN TIME ERROR LOG pop-up window to appear on the monitor display. The pop-up window now displays input software errors and provides basically the same information as the VIEW OUTPUT ERRORS pop-up window provided. The appearance of both pop-up windows are similar, the difference being errors that are logged as input versus output to/from the monitor.

5. To clear out the stored run time error logs, use the Trim Knob control to select the CLEAR OUTPUT ERRORS or CLEAR INPUT ERRORS menu, respectively.

Immediately after you clear one of the error logs, a message appears on the upper right side of the display. The message verifies the actuation of the Trim Knob control for this function.
