This Clinical Reference Guide is designed to assist you to learn the
monitor’s basic operations during the pre-implementation training class
or as a self-study tool as you use the system on your clinical unit. It is also
designed as a reference tool when you need a refresher for infrequently
performed procedures.

Modified Early Warning Score
18
. 7/25/2019 11:48 AM
Comment [14]: Here also, I’m not
sure what you mean exactly.
The modied early warning score (MEWS) is a tool to quickly determine
the degree of illness of a patient. It is based on vital signs such as SpO,
NIBP, temperature, respiratory rate, etc. and can be customized to your
facility’s standards or protocols by your system administrator.
To Get a Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS)
1. Display the MENU window.
2. Touch the MEWS key on the MENU window to display the MEWS
window.
Or, touch the MEWS key on the Home screen when it is customized
to the Home screen.
3. Touch the MEWS key to close the MEWS window and return to the
Home screen.

NIBP Monitoring
Cu selection should be based on the size of the patient’s arm. The
American Heart Association recommends that the cu width be 40% of
the circumference of the upper arm. Inappropriate cu sizes can result in
inaccurate NIBP results.
Starting and Stopping NIBP Measurement
1. Make any necessary changes to the NIBP settings by touching the
NIBP parameter, or touch MENU
2. Touch the NIBP START/STOP key on the right of the monitor to start
measuring.
3. To stop the measurement, touch the NIBP START/STOP key again.

Manual Measurement – No interval will be set. NIBP measurement is
obtained by touching the NIBP START/STOP key on the right side of the
monitor.
STAT Measurement – Must be in continuous mode to operate.
Measurements are performed continuously according to the
measurement program set by your administrator. The program is divided
into two stages of interval settings and is limited to 1-minute intervals
during the rst stage.
SIM Mode – Must be in continuous mode to operate. Measurements are
performed continuously according to the measurement program set
by your administrator. The program is divided into two stages of interval
settings and is limited to 2.5-minute intervals during the rst stage.
Interval mode (Must be in continuous mode) – An automatic interval can
be selected to measure NIBP. To change intervals, touch MEASUREMENT
INTERVAL key and select desired NIBP intervals.
Venous Puncture Mode
18
NOTE: Venous puncture mode must be set to ON by your administrator to
use this function and CANNOT be used if an NIBP interval is set.
For aid in inserting a venous line, you can use venous puncture mode to
inate the cu to a target pressure in order to prevent venous backow.
Venous backow causes swelling of the veins and makes it dicult to
insert a venous line.
In venous puncture mode, the cu automatically deates 2 minutes aer
ination in Adult/Child mode or 70 seconds aer ination in Neonate mode.
us.nihonkohden.com
Cuff Size
21
Ensure that the correct cu size is used for each patient. Larger cus will
result in lower readings and smaller cus will result in higher readings.
Each cu covers a range of limb sizes.
Select a cu size that is balanced for the limb. When applying the cu,
look at the range marks. Use a cu size that is centered on the range
mark. For example, if the limb is 10.5 cm, using a 6 to 11 cm cu will not
provide the best readings. Instead, use an 8 to 14 cm cu.
• If readings are higher than expected, try a larger cu, and if
readings are lower than expected, try a smaller cu.
• Manual NIBP can be used to check the accuracy of the NIBP
measurement.
19
Cuff Positioning
NIBP cus use an air bladder to occlude the artery during measurement.
To obtain accurate readings, the cu must be correctly positioned over
the artery.
• Each cu should have a mark indicating the position of the artery
in relation to the cu. The mark is usually close to the air hose.
Ensure that the mark is positioned directly over the artery.
Patient Type
Patient type is automatically recognized when the cu is connected
to the monitor. The patient type setting on Nihon Kohden monitors is
controlled by the type of NIBP hose used. Both Adult/Child and Neonatal
hoses are available.
us.nihonkohden.com
Measuring Mode
22
22
There are two measuring modes for the monitor: deflation mode and
inflation mode. The factory setting is deflation mode, and inflation
mode is set to OFF.
NOTE: Inflation mode will only work with Nihon Kohden approved cus.
Deflation Mode
When the pressure deates slowly,
the change of artery pulse wave
is regarded as the change of cu
pressure, and blood pressure is
calculated by the amplitude pattern.
Inflation Mode
20
When inating the cu gradually,
the change of artery pulse wave
is regarded as the change of cu
pressure, and blood pressure is
calculated by the amplitude pattern.
In this mode, cu ination is lower
than in deation mode and can be
measured in a short time.

SpO2 Monitoring
The Nihon Kohden Vital Signs Monitor uses an SpO cable, which accepts
reusable or disposable probes. The monitor comes with three options for
pulse oximetry: Nihon Kohden, Nellcor, and Masimo technology. Refer to
the Operator’s Manual for specic technology dierences.
Connect the appropriate SpO probe to the monitor cable, attach the
probe to the patient, and begin monitoring.
Starting SpO2 Measurement
When the preparation is done properly, the SpO value and pulse
waveform appear on the screen.
NOTE: Settings may be dierent depending on the SpO technology
utilized on your Nihon Kohden monitor.

Taking a Temperature
The SVM-7200 Vital Signs Monitor comes with an Exergen Temporal
Scanner or a Covidien Sensor in a blue or red casing for temperature
monitoring. Please review the Operator’s Manual for further instructions.
1. Ensure the appropriate probe casing is attached if using the
Covidien Sensor (blue for oral/axillary and red for rectal).
2. When the temperature scanner/sensor is withdrawn, the
thermometer turns on automatically.
3. Proceed to take the patient’s temperature as explained below.

Setting the Modes of Temperature Measurement
Open the TEMP window and touch MEAS MODE to change the
temperature measurement mode to Quick, Standard, or Direct
Four temperature measurement modes are available: Standard mode,
Direct mode, Quick mode, and Cold mode.
Standard Mode
1. The thermometer normally operates in Predictive mode for
accurate temperature measurement. In certain cases, such as with
a hypothermic patient, the thermometer will automatically shi to
Direct (slow) mode and will then act as a temperature monitor.
Direct Mode (Oral & Axillary & Rectal)
1. The thermometer can be set to operate exclusively in Direct mode
(disable Predictive mode).
2. In Direct mode the device may require up to 60 seconds to reach
equilibrium and display patient temperature.
25
Quick Mode (Oral Only)
1. Quick mode is provided for more rapid, time consistent, oral
temperature predictions. This mode is indicated by a rabbit icon on
the display. In this mode, a temperature measurement prediction is
provided in approximately 3.5–4 seconds.
2. Quick mode is not available with Axillary or Rectal Body Sites, with
Cold mode, or when in Direct mode.
