THRESHOLD
The monitoring system stores the following information about the current case in
memory:
•Case ID
•Current baselines (value and time baselines were obtained)
•Current sensor positions:
–The monitoring system remembers the last sensors that were connected, the loca-
tions they were assigned (for example, left cerebral), and their last baseline values.
–The monitoring system also remembers the last reusable sensor cable (RSC) and
preamplifier port assignments (for example, which RSC and preamplifier the left
cerebral sensor was connected to).
Operator’s Manual 4-9
Operation
The previously used sensor location overrides the last RSC/preamplifier port assign-
–
ment. For example, if you plug what was the right cerebral sensor into what was the
left cerebral RSC/preamplifier port, it will show up on screen as the right cerebral
sensor.
Because the monitoring system retains this information for an ongoing case, you
can disconnect sensors from the system and reconnect the same sensors without
having to reassign sensor locations or perform the sensor set-up routine.
Table 4-4 describes some common situations, the actions you should perform, and
how the system reacts.
Table4-4.System Memory - Common Situations and Recommended Actions
When this situation occurs...Perform this action...
You have started monitoring a patient

The following steps assume you are ready to begin monitoring a patient in a surgical
setting or other hospital environment. Be sure you have reviewed the information in
Safety Reminders, page 4-2 before monitoring a patient.
To set up the monitoring system:
1.Make sure all components of the monitoring system are present:
•Monitor
•Docking station - Recommended for extended monitoring.
•Power supply and power cord - AC power is recommended for extended moni-
toring. You can use battery power briefly, if necessary, such as when transporting a
patient between locations within a hospital.
•Preamplifiers - Use one or two preamplifiers, depending on the number of sites to
be monitored. Each preamplifier accommodates two sensors. If no preamplifiers are
connected, see Connect the Preamplifier(s), page 3-11 for instructions.
•Reusable sensor cables (RSCs) - Use one RSC per sensor, up to two per preampli-
fier. If no RSCs are connected, see Connect the Reusable Sensor Cables (RSCs), page 312, for instructions.
•INVOS™ rSO
sensors - Before use, carefully read the sensor Instructions for Use,
2
including all warnings, cautions, and instructions.
2.Determine the sites you will monitor on the patient. Select the correct type of INVOS™
rSO
sensor for your patient; do not mix sensor types. Attach up to four sensors to the
2
patient. Refer to the Instructions for Use provided with the sensors for application instructions.
3.Power on the monitoring system:
a.Make sure that the monitoring system’s power supply is plugged into the docking
station and a properly grounded hospital mains outlet (see AC Power, page 3-3). You
may operate the monitoring system briefly on battery power if necessary, but AC
power is recommended for extended monitoring. See Power Options, page 3-3 for
additional information about powering the monitoring system.
b.Press the Power button on top of the monitor (see Apply Power, page 3-13). If oper-
ating on battery power, check the battery status indicator on the screen to determine whether the battery needs charging (see Table 3-3, page 3-6).

Baselines
4.9
The monitoring system requires an rSO2 baseline for each tissue region being monitored so that changes from the baseline can be reported. Changes in rSO2 values of
>20% from baseline are considered clinically significant and cause for concern and
possible interventions.
When measured rSO
system issues an alarm. You can use the monitoring system’s default alarm limits or
set custom limits, as described in Setting Alarm Limits, page 4-38.
It is recommended that you obtain baselines while the patient is stable and awake
(for example, prior to surgical induction). You can set baselines for all sensors at once
or for individual sensors. If necessary, you can retake baselines at any time during
monitoring.
Automatic Baselines: If you do not actively set baselines, the monitoring system
automatically sets them approximately five minutes after monitoring begins. You
can use these automatic baselines, or retake the baselines. Be aware that sudden
large changes in a patient’s saturation values during the initiation of monitoring can
result in unrepresentative automatically calculated baseline values. If you use automatic baselines, be sure to check the values to make sure they are appropriate. Manually retake the baselines, if necessary.
Note:
If you reposition or replace a sensor during monitoring, be sure to retake the baseline for
that sensor to ensure a valid representation of rSO

Setting Alarm Limits
WARNING:
Do not set alarm limits to extreme values that render the monitoring system
ineffective. Ensure alarm limits are appropriate for each patient.
The monitoring system provides default alarm limit settings, as listed in Table4-7.
You can change the alarm limits before or after setting baselines, or you can use the
existing alarm limits. Alarm limits are retained across power cycles, so check the
current settings to determine if they are appropriate for the patient.

WARNING:
Do not silence, pause, or decrease the volume of audible alarms if patient safety
could be compromised.
Depending on your institutional default, alarm audio may be on or off when you
start a case. When alarm audio is on, you can silence or pause the audio.
A white Alarm Audio button indicates alarm audio is on. You can silence or pause
alarms by pressing the button. The button changes to indicate whether alarms are
silenced or paused (see Table 4-5 on page 4-36). Whether an alarm is silenced or
paused depends on institutional default settings (see Alarm Silence Duration, page 4-
42).
If an alarm condition occurs when alarm audio is silenced or paused, the Alarm
Audio button changes color to match the current highest-priority alarm condition

Operation
(see Table 4-5 on page 4-36).
If alarms are silenced or paused, you can turn alarm audio back on by pressing the
Alarm Audio button. The button changes to the following:
Note:
When alarms are silenced or paused, the following alarms are not silenced:
- BATTERY CRITICALLY LOW (while monitoring system is operating on battery power)
- SYSTEM FAILURE (under certain circumstances)
Note:
After a power cycle, the last setting used (alarm audio on or silenced) is retained.
Alarm Silence Duration
Pressing the Alarm Audio button either silences alarms or pauses them temporarily,
depending on institutional defaults. The factory default is permanent silence of
alarms.
The pause option, which must be set by an authorized technician, is 2 minutes. If the
pause option is implemented, a countdown timer appears below the Alarm Audio
button when the button is pressed to pause an alarm. After 2 minutes, alarm audio
resumes.
Alarm Reminder Signal
By default, there is no reminder signal to indicate that alarms are silenced or paused.
Alarm silence reminders may be turned on by an authorized technician. See Alarm
Audio and Visual Characteristics, page 11-4 for alarm reminder signal specifications.

Dismissing an Alarm
Some alarms, such as BATTERY LOW and SENSOR NOT CONNECTED, can be dismissed without resolving the situation. Others, such as LOW RSO2 and CHECK
SENSOR, clear only when the condition is resolved. Table 8-1 on page 8-2 indicates
which alarms are dismissible and which are not.
To dismiss an alarm:
1.Note whether the DISMISS button is available in the alarm message area and whether
there are multiple alarms occurring. When there are multiple alarms, the DISMISS
button applies only to dismissible alarms.
