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.

Service 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 radio-
frequency 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.

Monitor (referred to as “monitor” in this service manual).
All replaceable parts or units of this monitor and its optional units are clearly listed
to help you locate the parts quickly.
The “Maintenance” section in this service manual only describes the maintenance
that should be performed by qualified service personnel. The Maintenance section
in the operator’s manual describes the maintenance that can be performed by the
user.
The information in the operator’s manual is primarily for the user. However, it is
important for service personnel to thoroughly read the operator’s manual and
service manual before starting to troubleshoot, service, maintain or repair this
monitor. This is because service personnel need to understand the operation of the
monitor in order to effectively use the information in the service manual.
Service Manual CNS-9701 1.1
1. GENERAL
General Information on Servicing
Note the following information when servicing the monitor.
To avoid the possibility of injury to yourself or damage to the
monitor, do not install or remove any component while the power is
on. When disassembling, make sure that the monitor is turned off
and the power cord is disconnected from the monitor and AC outlet.
There is a high voltage circuit on the power unit.
Safety
• There is the possibility that the outside surface of the monitor, such
as the operation keys, could be contaminated by contagious germs
so disinfect and clean the monitor before servicing it. When
servicing the monitor, wear rubber gloves to protect yourself from
infection.
WARNING
CAUTIONS
• There is the possibility that when the lithium battery or LCD unit is
broken, a solvent could flow out or a toxic substance inside it could
come out. If the solvent or toxic substance contacts the eyes or skin,
wash immediately and thoroughly with water and see your physician.
Never rub your eyes, otherwise you may lose your eyesight.
• To avoid accidental electrostatic discharge which could damage the
components of the monitor, use a grounded wrist strap when
installing or removing any component of the monitor.
• Use a pair of clean cotton gloves when replacing the LCD unit. If it is
damaged, your hand may get injured.
Liquid ingress
The monitor is not waterproof, so do not install the monitor where
water or liquid can get into or fall on the monitor. If liquid
accidentally gets into the monitor or the monitor accidentally falls
into liquid, disassemble the monitor, clean it with clean water and dry
it completely. After reassembling, do the patient safety checks and
function/performance checks to verify that there is nothing wrong. If
there is something wrong with the monitor, contact your Nihon
Kohden representative for repair.
1.2 Service Manual CNS-9701
1. GENERAL
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 monitor, wipe it with a non-
abrasive cloth moistened with any of the disinfectants listed below.
Do not use any other disinfectants or ultraviolet rays to disinfect the
monitor.
- Chlorohexidine gluconate solution: 0.5%
- Benzethonium chloride solution: 0.2%
- Glutaraldehyde solution: 2.0%
- Benzalkonium chloride: 0.2%
- Hydrochloric alkyl diaminoethylglycine: 0.5%
Transport
• Use the specified shipment container and packing material to
transport the monitor. If necessary, double pack the monitor. Also,
put the monitor into the shipment container after packing so that the
buffer material does not get inside the monitor.
• When transporting a board or unit of the monitor, be sure to put it in
a conductive bag. Never use an aluminum bag to transport a board
or unit. Also, never use a styrene foam or plastic bag which
generates static electricity to wrap the board or unit of the monitor.
Handling the monitor
• Because the outside surface of the monitor is made of resin, the
outside surface of the monitor is easily damaged. So when handling
the monitor, remove clutter from around the monitor and be careful
to not damage the monitor or get it dirty.
• Because most of the boards in the monitor are multilayer boards with
surface mount electrical devices (SMD), a special tool is required to

Service Policy, Service Parts and Patient Safety Checks
Service Policy Our technical service policy for this monitor is to replace the faulty unit, board or
part or damaged mechanical part with a new one. Do not perform electrical device
or component level repair of the multilayer board or unit. We do not support
component level repair outside the factory for the following reasons:
• Most of the boards are multilayer boards with surface mount electrical
devices, so the mounting density of the board is too high.
• A special tool or high degree of repair skill is required to repair the multilayer
boards with surface mount electrical devices.
Only disassemble the monitor or replace a board or unit in an environment where
the monitor is protected against static electricity.
As background knowledge for repair, pay special attention to the following:
• To reduce the repair time, consider the problem before starting repair.
• To clarify the source of the troubles, use the information from the diagnostic
check function of the monitor and the information described in the
troubleshooting section.

Patient Transfer
1. GENERAL
WARNING
When a temporarily discharged patient comes back, resume
monitoring for the patient. During temporary discharge, there is no
display of measurement values, alarm function and data saving.
CAUTION
••
• Keep the original bedside monitor and the destination bedside
••
monitor power on and connected to the network until the transfer
completes. Otherwise transfer fails and the data is lost. After
transfer, confirm that the data was correctly transferred to the
destination bedside monitor.
••
• When the patient is transferred more than once between different
••
central monitors in the network, the data saved on the original
central monitor is deleted.
Alarm
WARNING
••
• When the Alarm Suspend key on the transmitter is pressed, all alarm
••
functions for the patient are suspended.
••
• Even if the alarm is set to ON, there is no arrhythmia alarm when
••

discharged or a receiving channel is changed.
••
• Securely connect the sound cable. There is no sound if the cable
••
comes off.
CAUTION
••
• When the upper or lower alarm limit is set to OFF, there will be no
••
upper or lower alarm for that limit. When it is set to OFF, frequently
observe the patient.
••
• Alarm does not occur for an arrhythmia whose alarm is set to OFF.
••
There is no indication that the alarm is set to OFF. Be careful when
you set the alarm to OFF.
Service Manual CNS-9701 1.9
1. GENERAL
ECG Monitoring
CAUTION
••
• If there is any doubt about the arrhythmia analysis, make the central
••
monitor relearn the patient’s VPC. Otherwise, an important
arrhythmia may be overlooked.
••
• The central monitor does not perform ECG analysis. Therefore, the
••
QRS sound at the central monitor may not synchronize with patient’s
actual QRS when complicated arrhythmias occur or during pacing.
••
• The ST level transmitted from a transmitter is not designed to be
••
accurate enough for diagnosis. Do not rely on the ST level displayed
on the central monitor.
••
• The QRS sound at the central monitor has a delay of approximately
••
several seconds because of network connection.
••
• When the full disclosure waveform is expanded to actual size, it may
••
be distorted because it has been compressed then expanded. When
reading the expanded ECG waveforms, be aware of this distortion.
••
• Turn the pacing detection to ON when monitoring a pacemaker
••
patient. Otherwise QRS and pacemaker spike may not be
distinguished and pacemaker failure may not be recognized.
NIBP Measurement
WARNING
••
• When performing long term measurements at intervals less than 2.5
••
minutes, periodically check the state of the patient, blood vessels
and limb for adequate circulation. Congestion may occur at the
measurement site.
••
• When performing periodic measurements for a long term,
••
periodically check the circulation condition.
CAUTION
Before you remotely start and stop NIBP measurement from the central
monitor, confirm the state of the patient at the bedside monitor.
Carefully start and stop NIBP measurement from the central monitor.
