and/or SYSTEMS applicable IMMUNITY test methods are under consideration at SC62A/
WG13. The 3 V/m IMMUNITY level may be inappropriate especially when measuring
SpO2 because physiological signals can be much smaller than those induced by a 3 V/m
electromagnetic field.
When measuring SpO2, various interference may produce false waveforms which look
like pulse waveforms. SpO2 value and pulse rate may be measured from these false
waveforms, causing the alarm to function improperly.
When installing the monitor, avoid locations where the monitor may receive strong
electromagnetic interference such as radio or TV stations, cellular phone or mobile two-
way radios.

General Safety Information

WARNING
Never use the monitor in the presence of any
flammable anesthetic gas or high concentration
oxygen atmosphere. Failure to follow this warning
may cause explosion or fire.
WARNING
When the monitor is used with an electrosurgical
unit (ESU), firmly attach the entire area of the ESU
return plate. Otherwise, the current from the ESU
flows into the electrodes of the monitor, causing
electrical burn where the electrodes are attached.
For details, refer to the ESU manual.
WARNING
Before defibrillation, all persons must keep clear of
the bed and must not touch the patient or any
equipment or cord connected to the patient. Failure
to follow this warning may cause electrical shock
or injury.
WARNING
Never use the monitor in a hyperbaric oxygen
chamber. Failure to follow this warning may cause
explosion or fire.
WARNING
When performing defibrillation, discharge as far as
possible from electrodes, patches and any gel,
cream or medicine on the chest of the patient. If
there is a possibility that the defibrillator paddle
could touch these materials, remove them from the
patient. If the defibrillator paddle directly contacts
these materials, the discharged energy may cause
skin burn to the patient.
WARNING
Do not perform defibrillation when the cables are
located between the defibrillator paddles. The
discharged energy may be insufficient.
WARNING
When performing MRI test, remove all electrodes
and transducers from the patient which are
connected to this instrument. Failure to follow this
warning may cause skin burn on the patient. For
details, refer to the MRI manual.
WARNING
After attaching electrodes, probes and sensors on
the patient and connecting cables to the bedside
monitor, check that there is no error messages and
the waveforms and numeric data are appropriately
displayed on the screen. If there is an error
message, or waveform or numeric data is not
appropriate, check the electrodes, probes and
sensor attachment, patient condition and settings
on the bedside monitor and remove the cause.
WARNING
Do not allow the conductive part of the connector
which is connected to the patient to contact other
conductive parts including earth. This causes
leakage current and incorrect measurement value
and leads to wrong diagnosis.
WARNING
Do not use the same monitor for more than one
patient at the same time. Do not connect different
sensors from different patients to the same
monitor.
WARNING
Do not leave the SD card near the patient or in
reach of children.
Operator’s Manual BSM-6000 11
CAUTION
Only use Nihon Kohden specified electrodes,
probes, transducers, thermistors and catheters.
Otherwise, the maximum performance from the
monitor cannot be guaranteed.
CAUTION
Make sure that the electrodes and cords attached
to the patient are properly connected to the
monitor. Otherwise, incorrect data may be
displayed and lead to wrong diagnosis.
CAUTION
Turn off the power of mobile phones, small
wireless devices and other devices which produce
strong electromagnetic interference around a
patient (except for devices allowed by the hospital
administrator). Radio waves from devices such as
mobile phones or small wireless devices may be
mistaken as pulse waves and the displayed data
may be incorrect.
CAUTION
Do not reuse disposable parts and accessories.
CAUTION
After the monitor power is turned on, parameter-
related alarms do not function until the parameters
are monitored.
CAUTION
When admitting a new patient, first delete all data
of the previous patient. Otherwise, the data of the
previous patient and new patient will be mixed
together.
CAUTION
If fluids are accidentally spilled into the monitor,
take the monitor out of service and contact your
Nihon Kohden representative. The monitor must be
disassembled, cleaned, dried and tested for safety
and function.
CAUTION
When the “CONNECTOR OFF” message appears
on the screen, check that the connection cords are
connected to the sockets properly. The patient
cannot be monitored and the alarm does not
function while this message is displayed.
When using a ZS-900P transmitter, the
measurement values and displayed waveform on
the bedside monitor and receiving monitor may
differ due to timing delay of the display and other
factors. Be careful when reading the value and
waveform.
CAUTION
The ZS-900P transmitter can only transmit
temperature data from 5 to 45°C (41 to 113°F). Be
careful when reading the value.
NOTE: Operate the monitor on battery power if you cannot confirm the grounding or wiring in your facility.
Using External Instruments
The ZS-900P transmitter can only transmit CO2
data from 0 to 100 mmHg (0 to 13.3 kPa). When
the transmitting data is out of this range, the
receiving monitor displays it as 100 mmHg. Be
careful when reading the value.
CAUTION
CAUTION
WARNING
When connecting an external instrument using an interface or communication cable to the
monitor, some alarms and messages from the external instrument might not be displayed
on the monitor. When the waveform or data is abnormal, check the alarm and message on
the external instrument.

Battery Pack Handling and Operation OperationOperation

WARNING
• Never short-circuit the + and − terminals on the
battery pack. It may cause overheating and fire.
• Keep the battery pack away from fire. It may
explode.
• Do not damage, disassemble, drop or give
impact to the battery pack.
• Never use the battery pack on unspecified
instruments.
• Never charge the battery pack on unspecified
instruments.
• Never install the battery pack with the wrong
polarity.
• Keep the battery pack away from patients.
CAUTION
Do not expose the battery pack to direct sunlight
or leave in a high temperature place. The lifetime
of the battery pack may be shortened, the
performance of the battery pack may be degraded
and the battery pack may leak.
WARNING
If the battery pack is damaged and the substance
inside the battery pack contacts the eyes or skin,
wash immediately and thoroughly with water and
see a physician. Never rub your eyes, because you
may lose your eyesight.
WARNING
• Do not immerse the battery pack in water. The
battery pack may heat up and rust and the
substance inside the battery pack may leak.
• Do not leave the battery pack unused for more
than about two years. The battery pack may leak.
CAUTION
Do not use a battery pack with a damaged cover.
The operator may receive electrical shock.
Operator’s Manual BSM-6000 31
CAUTION
Do not tilt the monitor when removing the battery
pack from the monitor. If the lock release lever is
lifted while the monitor is tilted, the battery pack
falls out of the monitor and may injure the patient
or operator.
CAUTION
Do not leave the battery pack near the patient or in
reach of children.
CAUTION
Do not use a battery pack which is past the
expiration date written on the label.
NOTE: Be careful when handling the fully charged battery pack. The battery pack heats up to
about 60°C (140°F).
CAUTION
Do not subject the battery pack to a strong
mechanical shock.
CAUTION
Use the battery pack between 10°C (50°F) and
40°C (104°F). Temperatures out of this range affect
the working of the battery.
CAUTION
Before disposing of the battery pack, check with
your local solid waste officials for details in your
area for recycling options or proper disposal. The
battery pack is recyclable. At the end of its useful
life, under various state and local laws, it may be
illegal to dispose of this battery pack into the
municipal waste stream.
Battery Pack Handling Procedures
• Always place a battery pack in the monitor. This charges it so that you will always have a fully charged
battery pack ready.
• Fully recharge the battery pack before using it for the rst time or after storing it for over a month.
When the battery pack is not used, it self-discharges.
• Replace the battery pack with a new one every year. This is because the battery pack is a chemical
product which gradually deteriorates whether or not it is used.
• Store the battery packs under the following conditions.
Temperature: –20 to +60°C (–4 to +140°F) (within 30 days)
–20 to +45°C (–4 to +113°F) (within 90 days)
–20 to +35°C (–4 to +95°F) (more than 90 days)
Humidity: 20 to 85% RH (noncondensing)
When Not Using the Monitor or Battery Pack
• When the monitor is not used for a long time, remove the battery pack. When a charged or discharged
battery pack is left inside the monitor with the power cord unplugged, the battery pack self-discharges
and deteriorates.
• When a battery pack is not used, fully charge it before storage. When a battery pack is not used for over
one month, fully charge it once every six months.
When the “BATTERY WEAK” Message Appears
Operate the monitor on AC power and/or replace the battery pack when the “BATTERY WEAK” message
appears.
When the “BATTERY WEAK” message appears, the remaining battery power is less than 25%. The
yellow alarm lamp lights with a continuous “bing bong” sound.
If no AC or battery power is supplied to the monitor, there is no measurement and patient data such as
trend data may be lost.
32 Operator’s Manual BSM-6000

Charging the Battery Pack

The battery pack can be charged by the monitor. It takes about 10 hours to charge one battery pack during
monitoring and 6 hours to charge two battery packs when not monitoring.
NOTE: The new battery pack is not charged. Charge the battery pack before use.
The monitor can operate for about 90 minutes (BSM-6301/BSM-6501) or 60 minutes (BSM-6701) with a
new fully charged battery pack when:
• Used in normal temperature
• Recorder is stopped
• No alarm occurs
• Monitoring ECG, respiration (impedance) and SpO
2
• <POWER SAVING MODE> on the SYSTEM SETUP window is set to ON.
• <SYNC SOUND VOLUME> on the VOLUME window is set to OFF.
• NIBP measurement interval is 15 minutes.
• QI-671P and QI-672P interfaces or QI-631P and QI-632P or QI-634P interfaces are installed in the
monitor.
CAUTION
When charging the battery pack, keep the ambient temperature at approximately 20°C to
maintain the optimal battery operation time. If the battery pack is charged at less than 10°C
(50°F) or more than 30°C (86°F), the maximum battery operation time will be 20% to 30%
less than the optimal operation time.
Charging in the Monitor
Normal charging
During AC operation, the battery pack is automatically charged without interrupting monitoring. It takes
approximately 10 hours of continuous charging to fully charge a battery pack.
Fast charging
It takes 6 hours of continuous charging to fully charge two battery packs when not monitoring. When
installing two battery packs, the monitor can charge the two battery packs at the same time.
After continuous charging, the monitor automatically switches to trickle charging mode to keep the
battery pack fully charged. Trickle charging is necessary because the battery pack can self-discharge even
when it is not in use.
NOTE: Do not disconnect the power cord from the monitor during battery charging.
Operator’s Manual BSM-6000 33

Transport

The monitor has a transport function. When an AY-600P series input unit has a QM-600P memory
unit installed and <DATA TRANSPORT USING INPUT UNIT> on the TRANSPORT window of the
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION screen is set to ENABLE, the data of the bedside monitor can be saved
and sent to another bedside monitor.
Patient information and review data can be sent to another bed by disconnecting the input unit from the
monitor or JA-690PA or JA-694PA data acquisition unit and connecting it into another monitor or data
acquisition unit.
If the original monitor and destination monitors are in the same central monitor network, you can observe
the transported patient continuously from the central monitor.

Warnings and Cautions for Transport

General
WARNING
When the input unit is connected to the monitor,
make sure to authenticate the patient on the
SELECT PATIENT DATA window. Otherwise,
monitoring cannot be started.
WARNING
The monitor cannot start monitoring when the
input unit is not ready. When the preparation for
removing the input unit is complete, immediately
insert the input unit into the destination monitor.

Warnings for Alarms
WARNING
When an alarm occurs:
• Check the patient first and take necessary
measure to ensure patient’s safety.
• Remove the cause of the alarm.
• Check the alarm settings on the bedside monitor
and change the alarm settings if necessary.
WARNING
Do not diagnose a patient based on only the alarm
information of the bedside monitor. An alarm may
not be indicated due to alarm level or alarm on/off
setting and critical changes on the patient may be
overlooked.
WARNING
If more than one medical equipment is used
together in the same facility, make sure all
equipments have the same alarm default settings
(alarm master). If the medical equipments have
different alarm default settings and when
initialized, the alarm settings differ with the other
equipments and alarm cannot be managed
appropriately in the facility. If using different alarm
default settings according to areas or wings in the
facility, manage the alarms appropriately.
WARNING
A physician must be within the range where he/she
can hear the alarm sound of the bedside monitor
while monitoring a patient on the bedside monitor.
If the physician cannot hear the alarm sound,
critical changes on the patient may be overlooked.

12 LEAD ANALYSIS Window

Performing 12 Lead ECG Interpretation

WARNING
Do not use 12 lead ECG interpretation results and
measured values from the Mason-Likar
modification for diagnosis because the limb
electrode placement is not the same as the
standard 12 lead ECG. This may cause wrong
diagnosis since 12 lead ECG interpretation of this
monitor is based on the standard 12 lead ECG.
CAUTION
• The 12 lead ECG interpretation is performed
for acquired ECG waveforms only and does not
reflect all conditions of the patient. The results
of the analysis might not correspond to the
judgement of a physician.
• Overall judgement must be performed by the
physician, referring to the analysis result, clinical
findings and other examination results. After
the physician’s overall judgement, the analysis
results should be signed or initialed by the
physician.
CAUTION
When the gender is not specified, 12 lead ECG
interpretation is performed with the patient as
male.
CAUTION
When the date of birth or age is not entered, 12
lead ECG interpretation is performed with the
patient as 35 years old.

• Clean the patient’s skin with a piece of cotton moistened with
alcohol. Dry completely.
Operator’s Manual BSM-6000 85
WARNING
After attaching the electrode to the patient and
connecting the cable to the monitor, check that
electrodes are attached to the patient and check
that the cable is connected to the monitor properly.
When the electrodes are removed from the patient,
do not touch the metal part of the electrode with
bare hands or let the metal part of the electrode
contact the metal part of the bed or any other
conductive parts. Failure to follow this warning may
cause electrical shock or injury to the patient by
discharged energy.
WARNING
Do not use 12 lead ECG interpretation results and
measured values from the Mason-Likar
modification for diagnosis because the limb
electrode placement is not the same as the
standard 12 lead ECG. This may cause wrong
diagnosis since 12 lead ECG interpretation of this
monitor is based on the standard 12 lead ECG.
WARNING
When using a defibrillator together with the
monitor, use Ag/AgCl electrodes. Other types of
electrodes, stainless steel in particular, will
adversely affect the ECG waveform by slowing the
baseline recovery on the monitor and result in no
monitoring immediately following defibrillation.
CAUTION
At the start of ECG monitoring, check that the
dominant QRS is appropriate. Otherwise
arrhythmia monitoring may be inaccurate.
CAUTION
• When using the electrodes with DIN type lead,
use only Vitrode V or N electrodes. If other
electrodes are used, the electrode lead might not
be properly connected and ECG monitoring may
be unstable.
• Do not use electrodes of different metals. ECG
monitoring may be unstable if electrodes of
different metals are used.
CAUTION
When the “CHECK ELECTRODES” message is
displayed, ECG is not monitored properly and the
ECG alarm does not function. Check the electrode,
electrode leads and connection cord, and if
necessary, replace with new ones.
CAUTION
Only use Nihon Kohden specified electrodes and
electrode leads. When other type of electrodes or
electrode leads are used, the “CHECK
ELECTRODES” message may be displayed and
ECG monitoring may stop.
CAUTION
When the “NOISE” or “CANNOT ANALYZE”
message is displayed, ECG data and alarm are
not reliable. Remove the cause by checking the
electrodes, electrode leads, patient’s body
movement, EMG and peripheral instruments
grounding. Also make sure that an electric blanket
is not used.

actual ECG waveforms on the bedside monitor and cause false heart rate alarms or no alarm at
all.
When using 3 electrodes, one lead can be monitored. When using 6 electrodes, 8 leads can be monitored.
When using 10 electrodes, up to 12 leads can be monitored and 12 lead ECG interpretation can be
analyzed. For details on the 12 lead interpretation, refer to the “12 LEAD ANALYSIS Window” in “12
LEAD/12 LEAD ANALYSIS Windows” section.
Use with an Electrosurgical Unit
For use with an electrosurgical unit (ESU), this monitor has a circuit to protect the patient from skin burn
and to reduce ESU interference on the ECG waveform. However, the effectiveness of this circuit depends
on electrode position and monitor setup. With an ESU, pay attention to the following points.
WARNING
When the monitor is used with an electrosurgical
unit (ESU), firmly attach the entire area of the ESU
return plate. Otherwise, the current from the ESU
flows into the electrodes of the monitor, causing
electrical burn where the electrodes are attached.
For details, refer to the ESU manual.
• Arrangement
Install the monitor as far from the ESU as possible. If possible, locate them on opposite sides of the
operating table.
• Power supply
Noise from the ESU may interfere with the ECG signal through the AC power line. Supply power
to the monitor and ESU from different outlets located as far from each other as possible. Do the
equipotential grounding properly.
CAUTION
When using the monitor with an ESU, locate the
monitor and ESU appropriately and ground
instruments properly. Otherwise noise from the
ESU may interfere with the ECG and the heart rate
and arrhythmia analysis may be incorrect.
