Introduction: Document Information

Statement of Indications for Use

Mac-Lab System

The Mac-Lab system is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner to monitor, calculate, or record cardiovascular data from patients as they undergo cardiac catheterization. Cardiovascular data may be manually entered or acquired via interfaced GE Medical Systems Information Technologies TRAM modules, MUSE cardiovascular system, and other interfaced information syst ems. Data includes: ECG waveforms, heart rate, pulse oximetry (SpO2), respiration rate, valve gradients and areas, cardiac output, hemodynamic measurements, invasive and non-invasive blood pressure, procedural information, and optional intracardiac electroca r di og r a m (I E C G )

This is applicable to pediatric and adult patients requiring cardiac/ circulatory system catheterization. This is intended for use in catheterization and related cardiovascular specialty laboratories.

CardioLab System

The intended use of the CardioLab system is to acquire, filter, digitize, amplify, display, and record electrical signals obtained during electrophysiological studies and related procedures conducted in an electrophysiological laboratory. Signal types acquired include ECG signals, direct cardiac signals, and pressure recordings. Physiological parameters such as diastolic, systolic, and mean blood pressure, heart rate, and cycle length may be d erived from the s ignal data, dis played and recorded. The system allows the user to monitor the acq uisition of data, review the data, store the data, perform elementary caliper-type measurements of the data, and generate reports on the data. Additionally, the system may acquire, amplify, display, and record data received from other medical devices typically used during these procedures, such as imaging devices and RF generators.

The CardioLab EP system does not control the delivery of energy, administer drugs, perform any life-supporting or life-sustaining functions, or analyze physiological data or other data acquired during an EP procedure. It does not transmit alarms or arrhythmias and does not have arrhythmia detection capabilities.

The leakage tests are safety tests to ensure that the equipment poses no electrical microshock hazards. The specific leakage current tests and the frequency at which they should be performed should be determined by your facility.

Special Test Considerations

If the unit under test fails th e le akage t ests, do no t allow the custome r to use the equipment. Call Tech Support for assistance. (See the “How to Reach Us” page in the front of the manual.)

GE Medical Systems recommends that you perform these tests:

Before applying power for the first time



Every year as part of routine maintenance



Whenever internal assemblies are serviced

You need a leakage tester to perform the le akage tests.

127(

The accuracy of the leakage tests depends on a properly wired wall outlet. Do not proceed until you verify the integrity of the power source.

When patient sink current is measured, it may be necessary to manipulate the patient cable to avoid excessive stray capacitance to ground, which may result in artificially high measurements.

Ground Continuity

Special Considerations

Maintenance: Domestic Electrical Safety Tests

This test verifies that there is continuity (less than 100 mΩ resistance) between all the exposed metal surfaces on the console that have the potential to become energized, and the ground prong on the Mains AC power cord.



Measure the resistance between the equipotential lug on the back of the console and the ground pin o n the AC inlet of the AC Distri bution Unit. Repeat between the shell of the I/O port on the Thermal Writer and the ground pin on the AC inlet of the AC Distribution Uni t.



If the measurements are significantly out of range, check for breaks in the power cord or in the internal connections within the unit.



To perform this test accurately, it is necessary to use a special ground impedance measuring device that can accurately measure low resis tance s while prov idin g a sig nific ant a mount o f cur rent (10 to 30 A). This test cannot be performed accurately with a typical volt ohm meter.



Because of the resistance i n the power cables between the console or writer and the AC Distribution Unit, it is essential that special care is taken to obtain precise measurements. Resistance in test leads must be subtracted from an overall reading to accurately isolate the resistance in the equipment under test.



For a cursory field service check, a volt ohm meter may be used to verify continuity and that resistance is reasonable low (less than 0.3 to 0.4 ohms, including test leads).



Can you hear the floppy disk drive being accessed several seconds after Power On? The “in use” LED will come on at the same time. The keyboard LEDs will turn on at Power On and turn off just prior to the floppy disk drive’s LED turning on. These LEDs indica te that the PC/AT system (EPC-9) is functioning properly.



Is the floppy disk drive active?

If you do not hear the floppy disk drive, check the fuses and power.



Several different failures modes may exist. If the floppy drive LED is never active and there is brief activity on the hard disk drive (listen for the drive activity or watch for the hard disk drive light), the problem is probably the floppy disk drive, and vice versa.

If the two drives appear inactive at initialization, there is probably a controller failure.



Is the Hard Disk Drive Active?

If the system appears to initialize, but there is still no display, listen for the hard drive or watch the hard drive light to see if the hard disk drive is active several seconds after turning the syste m on. This activation should occur shortly after you hear the floppy disk drive spin up.

If the hard disk drive is not acti ve , com mu ni cat io n be twee n the disk drive and the control board does not exist, and the software is not being load ed into the s yst em fro m the dri ve .

Troubleshooting: Functional Checkout Procedure

Functional Checkout Procedure

Introduction

As part of the system checkout procedure, hook up a simulator to the TRAM modul e in the RAU or the CardioLab II Plus Amplifier located in the procedure area.

1. If a GE or Bio-Tek simulator is being used, connect the P1 output to the P1 input of the TRAM module in the slot A position.

2. Connect the P2 output to the P2 input of the same TRAM module.

3. Define the pressures to be Arterial and Venous. These two pressure simulations provide a re alisti c represent ation of pressure monitori ng waveforms.

4. Also connect the ECG leadwires.

See the “TRAM 100-600 A and SL Modules Service Manual” for additional information.

System Initialization

After you are su r e th at the sy st em is properl y co nnected, t he periphe ra ls are turned on, and there is no disk in the floppy disk drive, you can Power On the syst em .

1. Turn on the IEB and CPU power switches.

2. Verify that the image fills the entire window and that the colors are correct. If there appear to be video problems, refer to the “Video

Failure Modes” on page 5-13. If the system does not successfully

initialize, refer to “General Troubleshooting for the System” on page 5-4.

Front End Data Acquisition

1. Adjust the simulator so that the BP waveforms are zero.

2. Re-adjust the simulator so that it is simulating BP waveforms. If you have hooked up the simulator as recommended, you should see pressures in the window.

3. Verify that the correct ECG waveforms are present at the top of the window.

4. Verify that intracardiac inputs are present. Hook simulator ECG outputs to catheter input modules.

Troubleshooting: Troubleshooting the RAU

Troubleshooting the RAU

RAU Description

This section is designed to clarify operation and troubleshooting of the RAU and its interfacing with the Mac-Lab/CardioLab system. The RAU is also called the “Front End”. Introductory material on the system configuration is followed by specific symptom-dependent troubleshooting techniques. Front end data, ECG, and invasive blood pressures, are acquired by using a TRAM module installed in an RAU.

Each system is shipped wi th ei t her o ne or two T RA M modul es cap able o f providing up to 12 ECG waveforms and up to 4 press ure waveforms. Note that the system RAUs for earlier MAC-LAB units are different from the Mac-Lab/CardioLab system RAU. They cannot be interchanged. Older RAUs have room for three TRAMs (one was not functional).

The system RAUs have room for only two. The system RAU receives its power and data via a single cable rather than via separate power and data cables. The system RAU does not have an on/off switch.

TRAM modules in the RAU

The TRAM modules are installed in the RAU that is mounted in the procedure area. Power for the RAU comes from the Console.

RAU Interconnection

The TRAM series of modules, used with the system RAU, has only one indicator, the power-on indicator.

If the system is operati ng with one TRAM module, it must be in the slot A position (top slot) in the RAU. Otherwise, there are no ECG waveforms.

The RAU receives its power from the IEB.

Data Transmission

The serial data from and to the TRAM module is communicated via a DB-15 connector on the rear DB connect board on the IEB. The cable also carries power for the RAU. The data is then communicated to the COMMS board.

The COMMS board must be working in order for the system to initialize. The error message “No TRAM module” appears on the review moni tor window if communication with the TRAM fails.

RS-422 serial communication at a rate of 115 K baud is used between the RAU and the COMMS board.

General Information

The system video consists of one or more color monitors. For most configurations, two are mounted on the workstation and at least one is mounted in the catheterization procedure lab . At the desk are the realtime and review monitors. In the catheterization procedure lab is a remote monitor, which is a slave of the other monitors.

The review monitor displays waveforms and system-related informati on and allows the technician to operate the system via the menu bar at the top of the window.

The real-time monitor displays real-time data, such as ECG and blood pressure waveforms. The monit or in the catheterization procedure lab can display either workstation moni tor signal, allowing the doctor to track monitoring and measurement functions.

Monitor Description

Installation Checklist

Troubleshooting: Troubleshooting the Video Processing

All monitors are color monitors that are controlled by the video boards in the computer. The monitors themselves are not serviced by GE Medical Systems Service, but are sent back to the manufacturer for repairs. However, there is a window calibration procedure that includes brightness and position of the tracings. Several brands of monitors have been used. All are essentially the same, but have different controls.



Be sure that the ventilation openings are not blocked or covered.



Do not place the monitor near a heating appliance or in direct sunlight.



Do not expose th e mo nitor to m oistu re of any k ind, as th is may re sult in electrical shock or fi re hazard.



Route the power cord and cables so that they will not be walked on, tripped on, or rolled over. The monit ors should be powered vi a the AC outlets in the lab or should be connected to one of the outlets on the IEB.



Never use a monitor if the power cord has been damaged.



Unplug the monitor and clean the window as needed with a small amount of a mild glass cleaner sprayed on a soft cloth. Never spray cleaner directly on the window as it may penetrate the monitor enclosure.



Never open the enclosure. The re are no user-se rviceable parts i nside. Risk of serious shock hazard! Refer all monitor problems to GE Service personnel.

Video Failure Modes

Color Distortion

Demagnetize the mo nitor window by pressing the degauss switch, which generally is located just below the monitor window or can be found by pressing the MENU button.

One or More Colors Missing on Monitor

1. Confirm that cabling for all three colors is connected to the monitor and that the cabling is properly connected to the rear interconn ection panel and to the Video/Writer board in the console.

2. If the problem moves to the other moni to r, then repl ace t he def ect iv e board.

3. Otherwise, replace the monitor.

Video Signal on One Monitor is Distorted or Missing:

1. If video signals are not present, verify that monitor is receiving power.

2. Take the video cable from the back of the working monitor an d plug it into the monitor with the bad signal. This will verify that the monitor works.

3. If the step above p roduces a good ima ge, try repla cing t he video ca ble from the VIDMUX to the monitor.

4. If problem continues, replace cable from the associated video signal input on the VIDMUX to correct video board the computer.

5. If the problem persists, the problem may be with the system hardware.

Troubleshooting: Troubleshooting the Thermal Writer

Troubleshooting the Thermal Writer

Thermal Writer Description

The system uses a direct digital writer with an 8.5-inch thermal print head. The paper is a plain, fan-fold style with no pre-printe d grid. The system prints the necessary grid at the same time as it prints the waveforms and text. The thermal writer can run at four speeds: 5, 25, 50, and 100 mm/sec. Paper is stored in a slot backed by a paper strap that slides in and out for ease of replacement.

The thermal writer release button, which disengages the print head and opens the door, must be pres sed before c losing the door a s well. When t he door is open the 26.5 volt power is removed from the print head, but not from the thermal writer control board. The 5 volt power is still on the print head. The print head assembly is loc ated inside and above t he door. This allows easy access for cleaning and replacement.

Repairing the Thermal Writer

Generally, the only in-field repair of the thermal writer is to replace the print head or anti-static brush. Replacing the printer engine in its bracket requires the use of a fixture, and so is performed only at the factory. Likewise, the electrical adjustment is only done at the factory. This is different from older MAC-LAB procedures.

Thermal Writer Failure Modes

Chart paper will not queue. Thermal writer runs extra sheets of blank paper.



Erratic or no chart paper drive



The queuing sensor could be dirty. Clean the queuing sensor by blowing air across it.

If the paper does not advance, or it advances erratically and there is no error message, check the fixed and movable cables that connect along the side of the writer drawer. Confirm that there is a solid connection.

Verify that all required conditions are met to enable the thermal writer.

Troubleshooting: Troubleshooting the Thermal Writer

Printing too light or too dark

If the thermal print head voltage is too low, the printing may be too light, and the traces may fade prematurely. If the voltage is too high, the printing may be too dark and the life of the print head will be shortened. Voltage adjustments must be performed at the factory.



Check the thermal paper quality. Some non-GE thermal papers are more heat-sensitive than others.



Check print head voltage to ensure that it is in range: 24V to 27V.



If there is no other reason, replace the Thermal Writer.

White line running across the printing



Clean the print head and the print roller. If the lines still occur and they are obscuring the tracings, replace the print head.

RAU Failure Modes

ECG labeled, but no ECG data

These symptoms indicate no communications with the TRAM modules. Confirm that each TRAM module is installed and that the RAU is plugged in.

Check that the cable is connected on the bac k of the RAU (DB-15 connector) and is connected on the rear DB connect board on the IEB (DB-15 connector).

Is the power-on LED on the TRAM module illuminated? Try switching the position of the TRAM modules.

BP sites are labeled, but no pressure numbers or waveforms

This condit ion indi cates t hat a tra nsduc er needs t o be zer oed or rep laced. Rezero this BP by selecting the correct channel and pressing the Zero button. This could also be a TRAM module problem.

BP waveforms are present, but no ECG waveforms

Some patients require skin preparation, including abrasion, depending on their skin type.

If the BP waveforms are present, and the ECG cable is properly connected, ensure that the ECG waveforms have not been turned off.

If the ECG waveforms are selected, are not turned off, and still are not present, suspect a TRAM module failure.

ECG waveform is present, but one or both BPs are missing

Has the BP trace been turned off at the keyboard? Try rezeroing and replacing the corresponding transducer. This situation also could be a TRAM module failure.
