Introduction to the Model 7600

Introduction to the Model 7600

Benefits of the Model 7600 Regional Oximetry
System

The Model 7600 Regional Oximetry System with Equanox™ Technology
is a fully integrated, digital, Bluetooth-enabled system for measuring
regional hemoglobin oxygen saturation (rSO

2

) underneath the sensor. It
can be used in virtually any common clinical environment where rSO2
measurements might improve patient outcomes. The following features
and user-defined parameters allow the clinical team to adjust the system
for the needs of the operating environment.

• 4.5-meter (15-foot) trunk cable and monitor mounting features allow

the

system to be conveniently located for viewing without interfering

with surgical and anesthesiology operations.

• Weighing only 1 kg (2 lbs), this highly mobile system has a 3-hour

battery life and 69 hours of memory, which allows for operational
flexibility.

• Trend graph timescale is adjustable from 7.5 minutes to 24 hours,

making it ideal for virtually all clinical application timeframes, and
allowing the clinical team to track relative saturation changes from
baseline.

• Saturation value trends can be read from across the room, and reflect

the actual percentage of oxygen saturation at that moment.

• Saturation event markers identify critical deviations from acceptable

rSO2 trends and include alphabetical sequencing of events and
associated saturation values.

• Area Under the Curve (AUC) displays the integrated, cumulative time

and saturation value below a channel’s reference setpoint.

• Display brightness adjusts for the lighting conditions in each potential

clinical environment.

• Alarm thresholds and volumes are also adjustable to signal

in

tervention at the clinician’s discretion, and to compensate for ambient

noise in each unique clinical operating environment.

• The Nurse Call feature integrates into standard hospital systems.

• RS-232 serial data port allows the 7600 to connect to a PC or an

external monitoring system via a serial cable.

Introduction to the Model 7600

Bluetooth Technology

Bluetooth allows wireless connections between electronic
communications and computing devices. The technology is based on a
radio link that offers fast and reliable data transmissions. Bluetooth uses
a license-free, globally available frequency range in the ISM band—
intended to ensure communication compatibility worldwide.

Nonin’s use of Bluetooth wireless technology allows regional oxygen
sa

turation information to be transmitted through a Bluetooth radio to a
compatible Bluetooth-enabled device. Nonin’s wireless system removes
the connection from the monitor to a remote monitor location, giving
increased ability to move the monitor freely. Nonin’s 7600 monitor uses an
automatically switchable class I/class II Bluetooth radio with a maximum
range of about 100 meters (328 feet) (spherical radius).

The Model 7600 features point-to-point communications, allowing one
master de

vice (the remote monitor) to be paired to one slave device (the
7600 monitor). Once connected, the 7600 monitor will not connect with
any other Bluetooth-enabled device.

Hemoglobin Index (HbI) Display

The Hemoglobin index is displayed under the %rSO2 for each monitored
channel. Local hemoglobin measurements display in units of grams per
deciliter. There are no alarms for HbI.

NOTE: Hemoglobin index is not available for all sensors.

Cumulative Saturation Below Reference Display
(AUC)

NOTE: In order for the AUC display to match the Society of Thoracic

Surgeons (STS) database definition, the reference values for each
channel must be set to 75% of the patient's baseline.

The saturation values below the reference setpoint for each channel are
integrated together and displayed as the cumulative saturation below
reference, also known as AUC (Area Under the Curve). The value is
expressed in units of % minute (%Min). When a reference value is
changed, the AUC resets to 0 and begins integrating only the data after
that point. A dashed vertical line on the trendline display indicates when a
reference was changed.

rSO2 Reference

A rSO2 reference can be set so subsequent rSO2 changes are measured
relative to this reference. The display shows a reference line on the trend
graph equal to the set reference value. A reference value may be set as
a User-Defined Default and it will be recalled when the device is turned off
and back on again. There are no audible or visual alarms specific to this
reference value. Alarm values may be set as described in the “How to Set
Limits” section above.

As soon as rSO

2

numbers appear on the screen, the device begins
plotting trend data on the screen. At this point, if the patient condition is
stable, an awake reference reading can be set for each channel in use.
For example, in surgical patients, a reference value may be set prior to
induction. The reference value may be set to the rSO

2

value displayed by
the monitor or to another value against which the operator prefers to
measure the saturation change.

Reference lines for channels 2 and 4 are dashed ( - - - - ); reference lines
for channels 1 and

3 are dotted ( . . . . ). The value of each reference line

displays to the right of the trendline area in a color matching the channel's
display.

Memory and Data Output Features

Memory Features

The Model 7600 can collect and store 69 hours of continuous rSO2
information.

The memory in the Model 7600 functions much like an “endless loop”
tape. When the memory is full, the unit begins overwriting the oldest data
with new data.

Each time the Model 7600 is turned on, the current time/date information
(if the clock is set properly) is stored in memory, starting a new recording
session. Only recording sessions greater than 1 minute in length are
stored in memory.

rSO

2

is sampled and recorded in memory once every second. Oxygen

saturation values are stored in 1% increments in the range of 0 to 100%.

Patient data is retained even when power is lost.

To clear patient memory, refer to

“How to Clear Memory.”

Data Management Software

The Model 7600 Regional Oximetry System has comprehensive data
management capability. Confidential patient data is extracted from the
system via Bluetooth or the RS-232 serial port using eVision Patient Data
Management Software. During memory download, DATAXFR displays on
the 7600 monitor.

Each data record in the Model 7600 system is identified by date and time.
On a host computer, files are identified by this data, extracted, and stored
as either raw data or as a .pdf. The files comply with standards defined in
the STS National Adult Cardiac Surgery Database.

For instructions on installing the software and using the data management
fea

t

ure, please see the eVision CD included with the device.

CAUTION: Data is written continuously when the device is on. If

the entire memory is filled, portions of the oldest record will be
overwritten when a new record begins.

Technical Information

Testing Summary

Principles of Operation

Model 7600 oximeter pod uses calculations based on the Beer-Lambert
law or Beer’s law, to determine regional oxygenation. The Beer-Lambert
law relates the absorption of light to the properties of the material through
which the light is traveling. The law states that there is a logarithmic
relationship between the concentration of compounds and the
transmission of light through it. By utilizing wavelengths of light that are
absorbed by the compounds to be measured, the concentration of the
compounds can be determined. For regional oximetry, the compounds of
interest are hemoglobin, deoxygenated hemoglobin, and tissue.

The oximetry sensors use a proprietary

,

patented arrangement of light
emitters (LEDs) and light detectors (photodiodes). This arrangement
effectively provides a “deep tissue” absorption measurement focused on
the cerebrum. The absorption measurement is largely unaffected by
surface or near-surface features, irregularities, or substances.

rSO2 Accuracy Testing

rSO2 accuracy testing was conducted by Nonin Medical, Inc., as
described below:

rSO

2

accuracy testing is conducted during induced hypoxia studies on
healthy, non-smoking, light- to dark-skinned subjects in an independent
research laboratory. The measured regional hemoglobin saturation value
(rSO

2

) of the sensors is compared to arterial / venous hemoglobin oxygen

(SavO

2

) value, determined from venous and arterial blood samples. The
model used for blood in the brain is 70% venous and 30% arterial. The
accuracy of the sensors in comparison to the blood gas analyzer samples
measured over the rSO

2

range of 45–100%. Accuracy data is calculated

using the root-mean-squared (A

rms

value) for all subjects, per
ISO 9919:2005, Medical Electrical Equipment—Particular requirements
for the basic safety and essential performance of pulse oximeter
equipment for medical use.

Alerts

The VueLink Open Interface Protocol recognizes two types of alerts:
patient alarms and equipment alarms (also known as inops or inoperable
conditions).

Only one alert message text of each alert type can be displayed at the
Ph

ilips

monitor at the same time. Therefore, a priority is assigned to each
alarm and inop. All other functions related to alerts (e.g., flashing value,
replacing a numeric with a “?”) of two or more active alerts may occur
simultaneously.

NOTES:

• By default, alerts are deactivated in VueLink. Activation requires

access to the configuration mode of the monitor and can only be done
by technical staff.

• The VueLink interface does not allow the Philips monitor to generate

audible signals at the bedside for alarms and inops generated by the

7600.

57

External Monitor Installation Instructions

Patient Alarms

The VueLink Open Interface Protocol defines two types of patient alarms:

• Red alarms: Indicate potentially life-threatening situations that

require a

n immediate response.

• Ye llow alarms: Indicate less critical situat

ions. A response is required,

but is of less critical importance.

Alarm Messages

On Philips IntelliVue patient monitors, red alarm messages may display in
the

upper right corner of the monitor screen. Yellow alarm messages may
display at the top of the monitor screen in the middle. For more
information on Philips monitor alarm messages, see the specific monitor’s
documentation.

Alarm Indicators

The Philips IntelliVue patient monitor may have alarm indicators at the
top

VueLink displays equipment alarms as “inops” or “inoperatives.” Each
inop carries information either on the validity of all related measurements
(general inop) or on the validity of a specific numeric. Depending on this
information, the numeric may display differently on the Philips IntelliVue
monitor (e.g., it may blink or be replaced with “-?-”).

On the Philips IntelliVue patient monitor, inop messages may display in
the upper left corner of the monitor screen. Inop messages are green. For
