ii	Operator's Manual CNS-9701

EMC RELATED CAUTION

This equipment and/or system complies with the International Standard IEC 60601-1-2 for electromagnetic compatibility for medical electrical equipment and/or system. However, an electromagnetic environment that exceeds the limits or levels stipulated in the 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 if it is interfered with by an emitter source such as an authorized radio station. Keep the emitter source such as cellular phone away from the equipment and/or system.

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:

Operator's Manual CNS-9701

iii

In IEC 60601-1-2 Medical Electronic Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for Safety, 2. Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic compatibility-Requirements and test. Section 36. 202. 2 Radiated radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, PATIENT COUPLED EQUIPMENT 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.

1. GENERAL

Introduction

The CNS-9701A/J/K Central Monitor is designed for use in various hospital environments, including the ICU, CCU, recovery room, and general ward. The central monitor allows hospital staff to monitor patient’s vital signs and waveforms, along with other patient information.

You can compose a patient monitoring network with central monitors, bedside monitors, multi-patient receivers and transmitters. One network can include up to 300 beds. A patient’s data can be accessed simultaneously at up to four central monitors. The system offers monitoring flexibility to best meet your patient’s clinical needs. A single central monitor can continuously monitor up to 8 beds (12 beds when the QP-971P 12 Patient Expansion Program Kit is installed and 16 beds when both the QP-971P 12 Patient Expansion Program Kit and QP-972P 16 Patient Expansion Program Kit are installed).

The overview bed function allows you to temporarily monitor a bed that is on the network but not continuously monitored by the central monitor. This provides quick and easy access to any patient’s data similar to being monitored at the central monitor.

The central monitor has various windows to monitor a patient’s status:

•Monitoring screen

-Wave Display window

-ECG 12 Lead Display window

-All Vital Signs window

•Review window

-Trend window

-Tabular Trend window

-Hemodynamics window

-Arrhythmia Recall window

-ST Recall window

-Full Disclosure window

-ECG 12 Lead Analysis window

-Alarm History window

The central monitor provides various types of recordings. Both a thermal array recorder and a laser printer can be used.

Alarm limits and other bedside monitor settings can be set or changed remotely from a central monitor.

Please read this manual thoroughly before operation in order to obtain full use of the central monitor. Also read the manuals for the bedside monitors, transmitters and multi-patient receiver.

Network Composition

In a central monitor network, on a central monitor, you can see data of any bed in the network. On a bedside monitor, you can see data of any bed in the network using the interbed function.

The data that can be displayed on the bedside monitor or central monitor depends on the type of bedside or central monitor used.

The number of central monitors and bedside monitors that can be connected to a central monitor network and the method of network communication depend on the type of monitor used. For details, refer to the Network and System installation guide.
