The Monitoring System
The Patient Monitor
The Dash 3000/4000 patient monitor can function by itself with a built-in
writer, or it can be cabled in with the optional Unity Network via
Ethernet. Optional components are, if using Wireless LAN or cabled to
Ethernet, a Centralscope central station and the Clinical Information
Center.
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 available with the invasive pressure option), ICG module
interface, and SAM module interface.

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.

2000966-105
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).
Revision B Dash 3000/4000 Patient Monitor 2-7
2000966-105
EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW: Components
Optional RAC 2A Module Housing
Optional Dash Port Docking Station
The RAC 2A module housing currently supports the SAM and ICG
modules.
797B
An integral power supply is used to run the RAC 2A and support the
needed voltages.
The docking station is a quick mount/dismount base for a Dash patient
monitor. It gives the monitor easy connect/disconnect access to AC
power, the Unity Network, and to auxiliary devices.
NOTE: When a Dash monitor is connected to the docking station, only
the docking station’s Ethernet connector is active. The Dash
monitor’s network connector remains inactive until the monitor
is disconnected from the docking station.
823A
Optional ICG Module
2-8 Dash 3000/4000 Patient Monitor Revision B
The ICG module (impedance cardiography) measures and processes
patient hemodynamic data.

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.

Optional Remote Control
Revision B Dash 3000/4000 Patient Monitor 2-9
The optional remote control provides all patient monitor controls on a
portable component with a Trim Knob control, and allows the user to
operate the patient monitor from across the room. Eighteen hard keys
are configured for adult, neonatal, or operating room applications.

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.
