Service Manual TEC-5500

EMC RELATED CAUTION

This equipment and/or system complies with IEC 60601-2 International Standard for electromagnetic compatibility for medical electrical equipment and/or system. However, an electromagnetic environment that exceeds the limits or levels stipulated in IEC 60601-1-2, can cause harmful interference to the equipment and/or system or cause the equipment and/or system to fail to perform its intended function or degrade its intended performance. Therefore, during the operation of the equipment and/or system, if there is any undesired deviation from its intended operational performance, you must avoid, identify and resolve the adverse electromagnetic effect before continuing to use the equipment and/or system.

The following describes some common interference sources and remedial actions:

1.Strong electromagnetic interference from a nearby emitter source such as an authorized radio station or cellular phone:

Install the equipment and/or system at another location. Keep the emitter source such as cellular phone away from the equipment and/or system, or turn off the cellular phone.

2.Radio-frequency interference from other equipment through the AC power supply of the equipment and/or system:

Identify the cause of this interference and if possible remove this interference source. If this is not possible, use a different power supply.

3.Effect of direct or indirect electrostatic discharge:

Make sure all users and patients in contact with the equipment and/or system are free from direct or indirect electrostatic energy before using it. A humid room can help lessen this problem.

4.Electromagnetic interference with any radio wave receiver such as radio or television:

If the equipment and/or system interferes with any radio wave receiver, locate the equipment and/or system as far as possible from the radio wave receiver.

5.Interference of lightning

When lightning occurs near the location where the equipment and/or system is installed, excessive voltage may be generated in the equipment and/or system. In such a case, disconnect the AC power cord from the equipment and/or system and operate the equipment and/or system by battery power, or use an uninterruptible power supply.

6.Use with other equipment

When the equipment and/or system is adjacent to or stacked with other equipment, the equipment and/ or system may affect the other equipment. Before use, check that the equipment and/or system operates normally with the other equipment.

7.Use of unspecified accessory, transducer and/or cable

When an unspecified accessory, transducer and/or cable is connected to this equipment and/or system, it may cause increased electromagnetic emission or decreased electromagnetic immunity. The specified configuration of this equipment and/or system complies with the electromagnetic requirements with the specified configuration. Only use this equipment and/or system with the specified configuration.

Service Manual TEC-5500

iii

Caution - continued

8.Use of unspecified configuration

When the equipment and/or system is used with the unspecified system configuration different than the configuration of EMC testing, it may cause increased electromagnetic emission or decreased electromagnetic immunity. Only use this equipment and/or system with the specified configuration.

9.Measurement with excessive sensitivity

The equipment and/or system is designed to measure bioelectrical signals with a specified sensitivity. If the equipment and/or system is used with excessive sensitivity, artifact may appear by electromagnetic interference and this may cause mis-diagnosis. When unexpected artifact appears, inspect the surrounding electromagnetic conditions and remove this artifact source.

If the above suggested remedial actions do not solve the problem, consult your Nihon Kohden distributor

or representative for additional suggestions.

For EMC compliance, refer to “Specification - Electromagnetic Compatibility” in the Reference section

The CE mark is a protected conformity mark of the European Community. The products herewith comply with the

CAUTIONS

Safety

There is the possibility that the outside surface of the defibrillator, such as the operation keys, could be contaminated by contagious germs, so disinfect and clean the defibrillator before servicing it.

When servicing the defibrillator, wear rubber gloves to protect yourself from infection.

There is the possibility that when the lithium battery is broken, a solvent inside the lithium battery could flow out or a toxic substance inside it could come out. If the solvent or toxic substance touches your skin or gets into your eye or mouth, immediately wash it with a lot of water and see a physician.

Liquid ingress

The defibrillator is not waterproof, so do not install the defibrillator where water or liquid can get into or fall on the defibrillator. If liquid accidentally gets into the defibrillator or the defibrillator accidentally drops into liquid, disassemble the instrument, clean it with clean water and dry it completely. After reassembling, verify that there is nothing wrong with the patient safety checks and function/ performance checks. If there is something wrong with the defibrillator, contact your Nihon Kohden representative for repair.

Environmental Safeguards

Depending on the local laws in your community, it may be illegal to dispose of the lithium battery in the regular waste collection. Check with your local officials for proper disposal procedures.

Disinfection and cleaning

To disinfect the outside surface of the defibrillator, wipe it with a nonabrasive cloth moistened with any of the disinfectants listed below. Do not use any other disinfectants or ultraviolet rays to disinfect the

Caution - continued

Transport

Use the specified shipment container and packing material to transport the defibrillator. If necessary, double pack the defibrillator. Also, put the defibrillator into the shipment container after packing so that the buffer material does not get into the inside of the defibrillator.

When transporting a board or unit of the defibrillator, be sure to use a conductive bag on. Never use an aluminum bag when transporting a board or unit on which a lithium battery is mounted. Also, never use a styrene foam or plastic bag which generates static electricity to wrap the board or unit of the defibrillator.

Handling the defibrillator

Because the outside surface of the defibrillator is made of resin, the outside surface of the defibrillator is easily damaged. So when handling the defibrillator, remove clutter from around the defibrillator and be careful to not damage the defibrillator or get it dirty.

Because most of the boards in the defibrillator are multilayer boards with surface mounted electrical devices (SMD), when removing and soldering the electrical devices, a special tool is required. To avoid damaging other electrical components, do not remove and solder SMD components yourself.

Measuring and Test Equipment

Maintain the accuracy of the measuring and test equipment by checking and calibrating it according to the check and calibration procedures.

Never use the defibrillator in a high-pressure oxygen medical care tank. Otherwise, the defibrillator will explode or fire.

WARNING

The defibrillator generates high voltage. The defibrillator must only be operated by trained and qualified medical personnel.

Radiofrequency or Electromagnetic Field

Do not use any kind of non-essential non-patient care device within a radius of 1 meter around the defibrillator. The use of non-essential non-patient care devices that emit radiofrequency or electromagnetic fields may interfere with the operation of the defibrillator by causing noise on the ECG waveform or error messages. If a non-essential non-patient care device is accidentally placed near the defibrillator, quickly remove it.

MRI examination

-Do not install this defibrillator in an MRI examination room. The defibrillator may not operate properly due to high-frequency magnetic noise from the MRI.

-When performing MRI tests, remove all electrodes and transducers from the patient which are connected to this defibrillator. Failure to follow this warning may cause serious electrical burn on the patient due to local heating caused by dielectric electromotive force. For details, refer to the instruction manual for the MRI.

Using with ESU

-When using this defibrillator with an ESU, the ESU return plate and the electrodes for monitoring must be firmly attached to the patient. If the return plate is not attached correctly, it may burn the patient’s skin where the electrodes are attached. Refer to the instruction manual for the ESU.

-When using an ESU, use this defibrillator only in the MONITOR mode and use the ECG electrodes for monitoring. Do not monitor ECG with disposable pads, external paddles or internal paddles. Otherwise, high frequency energy from the ESU causes abnormal current to flow in the patient and unexpected discharge. This causes serious electrical burn, shock, or other injury and damages the defibrillator.

Cardioversion and AED

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING

 

 

• Before defibrillation and cardioversion, make sure that no one is in

 

contact with either the patient or any metal part of any equipment or

 

cables which supports or is connected to the patient. Failure to follow

 

this warning causes serious electrical shock or injury.

 

• Before defibrillation and cardioversion, remove all electrodes, probes

 

and transducers connected to a connector without a “ ” or “

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

mark from the patient. Otherwise the operator may get electrical

 

shock and the connected instrument may be damaged.

 

• Before defibrillation and cardioversion, move all electrodes and

 

medicine on the patient’s chest to positions where the defibrillator

 

paddle or disposable pad will not touch. If the defibrillator paddle or

 

disposable pad directly touches electrodes or medicine, it causes skin

 

burn on the electrode or medicine attachment site.

 

• Do not carry or move the defibrillator when the charged energy

 

remains in the defibrillator. If the defibrillator falls, it discharges

 

energy and can cause electrical shock.

 

• For this defibrillator, the CONTACT lamp on the STERNUM paddle

 

indicates skin-paddle contact impedance. If the yellow or orange lamp

 

lights, the defibrillator may cause serious electric burn on the

 

patient’s skin and poor energy discharge to the patient. In case of an

 

emergency, medical personnel should decide whether to execute

 

discharge immediately, regardless of the CONTACT lamp display, or

 

take action to make good contact before discharge.

 

• Pay careful attention to the energy selection when using the pediatric

 

electrode plates. Applying high energy with the pediatric electrode

 

plates can cause serious electrical burn because the electrode plates

 

are small.

 

• Use the ECG monitoring electrodes (disposable electrodes) to monitor

 

the ECG waveforms. Stable ECG cannot be acquired with the PADDLE

 

lead because it is difficult to hold the paddles stable. ECG acquired

 

from external paddles, internal paddles or disposable pads is unstable

 

after discharge because of high polarization voltage.

 

• Do not perform defibrillation or cardioversion in a wet place. Before

 

defibrillation or cardioversion, move the patient and defibrillator to a

 

dry place. Otherwise the operator may get electrical shock.

 

• Do not discharge near a person or object other than the patient or test

 

electrode plate or energy checker. It may cause electrical shock to the

 

person or object.

 

• Confirm that there is no artifact on the ECG. If there is artifact on the

 

ECG, signals other than ECG are misrecognized to be QRS and

 

accidental discharge may occur which is not synchronized with the

 

patient’s QRS wave.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Service Manual TEC-5500

1.11

1. GENERAL

WARNING continued

Do not perform synchronized cardioversion with the PADDLE lead unless it is absolutely necessary. In synchronized cardioversion with the PADDLE lead, artifact may be misrecognized as QRS and accidental discharge may occur which is not synchronized with the patient’s QRS wave.

Never select “TEST” for the ECG lead. “TEST” is for maintenance and the waveform displayed on the screen is not the patient’s ECG. If synchronized cardioversion is performed with the TEST lead, accidental discharge occurs which is not synchronized with the patient’s QRS wave and it may cause ventricular fibrillation.

If you use the ECG signal from the monitor, before cardioversion, check that the defibrillator discharge occurs within 60 ms of the peak of the ECG’s R wave with a delivery checker. If this condition is not met, the cardioversion may be ineffective or may cause ventricular fibrillation.

The apex-posterior placement is not suitable for ECG monitoring or AED analysis.

The anterior-posterior placement is not suitable for defibrillation, cardioversion, ECG monitoring or AED analysis. Use this placement only for pacing.

CAUTION

When performing synchronized cardioversion, confirm that the SYNC lamp is lit before every discharge. If “Sync mode after CV” is set to Defib on the System Setup-Configuration screen, the defibrillator automatically turns to the asynchronous defibrillation mode.

With External Paddles

WARNING

Apply contact gel only to the electrode plates of the external paddles. If contact gel gets on any other part of the defibrillator, it may cause electrical shock to the operator.

Do not apply contact gel by hand. Failure to follow this warning may cause serious electrical burn, shock, or other injury.

Do not grasp the paddle handles with the wet hand or the hand with contact gel attached. Failure to follow this warning may cause electrical shock to the operator.

Apply contact gel to the electrode plates of the external paddles. Failure to apply contact gel causes serious skin burn.

Do not touch the electrode plate or edge of the paddle. Failure to follow this warning may cause serious electrical burn, shock, or other injury.

1.12

Service Manual TEC-5500

1. GENERAL

WARNING continued

When charging or discharging, do not touch anything other than the handles. Failure to follow this warning causes electrical shock to the operator.

Before discharging, confirm that the paddles are firmly pressed against the chest wall. Failure to follow this warning causes serious skin burn or poor energy discharge to the heart.

Do not perform open discharge into the air. This may cause electrical shock to the operator or damage the defibrillator.

Do not discharge the energy if the paddles are shorted to each other by contact gel. Failure to follow this warning causes serious electrical burn and poor energy discharge to the heart.

CAUTION

If the patient’s body is wet, thoroughly wipe the moisture off the skin so that the paddles do not short to each other.

Do not discharge when the paddles touch each other. This may damage the defibrillator.

With Disposable Pads

WARNING

Do not attach pads on the papilla, electrodes or medicine on the patient’s body. Failure to follow this warning causes serious skin burn.

Fit the pad closely to the body surface so that current flows uniformly through the pad. Failure to follow this warning causes serious skin burn or insufficient energy discharge to the heart.

During charging or discharging, do not touch the pads or connectors. Failure to follow this warning causes electrical shock to the operator.

Before discharging, confirm that the pads are firmly applied to the chest wall. Failure to follow this warning causes serious skin burn or poor energy discharge to the heart.

Do not discharge if the pads overlap each other or if the pads are shorted to each other by anything conductive such as contact gel. Failure to follow this warning causes serious electrical burn and poor energy discharge to the heart.
