Security Information
Protecting Personal Information
Protecting personal health information is a primary component of a security strategy. Each facility using the
devices must provide the protective means necessary to safeguard personal information consistent with
country laws and regulations, and consistent with the facility’s policies for managing this information.
Protection can only be realized if you implement a comprehensive, multi-layered strategy (including policies,
processes, and technologies) to protect information and systems from external and internal threats.
As per their intended use, the devices operate in the patient vicinity and contain personal and sensitive
patient data. They also include controls to allow you to adapt the devices to the patient's care model.
To ensure the patient's safety and protect their personal health information you need a security concept that
includes:
•Physical security access measures - access to the devices must be limited to authorized users. It is
essential that you consider physical security measures to ensure that unauthorized users cannot gain
access.
•Operational security measures - for example, ensuring that devices are powered off after monitoring
in order to remove patient data from the device.
•Procedural security measures - for example, assigning only staff with a specific role the right to use
the devices.
In addition, any security concept must consider the requirements of local country laws and regulations.
Always consider data security aspects of the network topology and configuration when connecting devices
to shared networks. Your medical facility is responsible for the security of the network, where sensitive
patient data from the monitor may be transferred.
When a device is returned for repair, disposed of, or removed from your medical facility for other reasons,
always ensure that all patient data is removed from the device by powering it off.
NOTE
Log files generated by the devices are used for system troubleshooting and do not contain protected health
data.
About HIPAA Rules
If applicable, your facility’s security strategy should include the standards set forth in the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), introduced by the United States Department of Health
and Human Services. You should consider both the security and the privacy rules and the HITECH Act
when designing policies and procedures. For more information, please visit:
http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/
About the EU Directives
If applicable, your facility’s security strategy should include the practices set forth in the Directive on the
protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such
data (Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995). In addition,
your facility should also take into account any additional applicable regulation or statutory requirement.

Connection with Host Systems
The following sections describe how the IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices work together with
host systems (Patient Monitors, Fetal Monitors, Telemetry Devices / Information Center or
GuardianSoftware).
IntelliVue Cableless Measurements Use Models
With these patient-worn measurement devices you can measure and transmit a patient's vitals regularly or
on an intermittent data collection basis. There are four typical use models:
With a Patient Monitor
The IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices can be used together with an MP5/MP5SC/MP5T, MP2 or
X2 patient monitor (with an SRR interface). They can communicate their measurement values via short
range radio to the monitor. The monitor may be assigned to a patient sector at the IntelliVue Information
Center (IIC). When assigned to the Information Center, certain actions can be performed at both the
patient monitor and the Information Center. See the table “Controls Available with a Patient Monitor” on
page 25.
In situations where patients are becoming more mobile (for example, in step-down/intermediate care units)
the lightweight Cableless Measurement Devices allow increased mobility within the short range radio range,
without giving up vital signs monitoring.
When assigned to a patient monitor, the Cableless Measurement Device can be selected for use in patient
transport at the patient monitor (for details see the Patient Monitor Instructions for Use). In this case, the
Cableless Measurement Device will perform local attended monitoring. The patient must be attended by
a caregiver during transport, to ensure that alarms on the Cableless Measurement Device are recognized. In
local attended monitoring mode, an alarm message text appears in the alarm status area at the top of the
screen indicating the source of the alarm and an alarm tone is issued. See “Alarms” on page 34 for details.
A telemetry device can be assigned to a patient monitor equipped with short range radio at the same time as
any Cableless Measurement Devices are also assigned to this monitor.
When assigned to a patient monitor, the admitted patient name is displayed on the SpO
If the connection between the monitor and the Cableless Measurement Device is lost, an INOP will be
displayed at the monitor:

at the Avalon CL Base Station. For information about Avalon Fetal Monitors, the Avalon CL Transducer
System and the Avalon CL Base Station, please refer to the Avalon Fetal Monitor Instructions for Use.
With a Telemetry Device
The Cableless Measurement Devices can be assigned to a patient with the telemetry device TRx4841A/
TRx4851A or an MX40 wearable patient monitor. They can communicate their measurement values via
short range radio to the telemetry device which communicates them to an IntelliVue Information Center to
provide a consolidated set of patient values.
Some of the measurement tasks can be performed remotely from the Information Center. See the table
“Controls Available with a Telemetry Device” on page 26.
If the patient name is available at the Information Center, it will be also displayed on the SpO

When a Cableless Measurement Device is assigned to a telemetry device, it is not possible for the telemetry
device to be wirelessly assigned or directly connected to a patient monitor.
If the connection between the telemetry device and the Cableless Measurement Device is lost, an INOP will
be displayed at the Information Center:
on the SpO
Pod, and an INOP tone will sound.

With IntelliVue GuardianSoftware
The Cableless Measurement Devices can be used together with IntelliVue GuardianSoftware.
GuardianSoftware collects non-continuous vital signs data that are transmitted via a Transmitter, Hotspot
or MP5 from the Cableless Measurement Devices. Using the collected data, it provides trending, review,
reporting and notification. The Guardian Early Warning Scoring (Guardian EWS) application provides
basic assessment guidance, helping you to recognize the early signs of deterioration in your patients.
GuardianSoftware is not intended for monitoring in combination with Cableless Measurement Devices.
Some of the measurement tasks can be performed remotely from GuardianSoftware. See the table
“Controls Available with GuardianSoftware” on page 27. GuardianSoftware also manages the patient data.
If the connection between GuardianSoftware and the Cableless Measurement Device is lost, the connection
symbol will be displayed gray at GuardianSoftware. A
(no alarm sound).
If a patient name is available at GuardianSoftware, it will be also displayed on the Pod. Any update of
patient data will be synchronized between the Pods and GuardianSoftware. The only patient management
action available directly at the Pod is

no patient alarms will be generated.
When the IntelliVue CL SpO
radio connection exists, alarms may be announced at the patient monitor or the Information Center.
•When assigned to a patient monitor / fetal monitor: Alarm messages will be displayed and audible
alarm indicators sounded at the monitor in the same way and under the same conditions as for its own
measurements. See the Instructions for Use of the patient monitor for details.
If a Cableless Measurement Device that is assigned to a patient monitor is selected for use in patient
transport at the patient monitor, the Cableless Measurement Device will perform local attended monitoring. See the Instructions for Use of the patient monitor for details on how to do this. The
patient must be attended by a caregiver during transport, to ensure that alarms on the Cableless
Measurement Device are recognized. In local attended monitoring mode, an alarm message text

tone is issued. See “Alarms” on page 34 for details.
•When assigned to a telemetry device: Measurement values sent via the telemetry device to the
IntelliVue Information Center can generate alarms at the Information Center when the values meet the
criteria set there for alarms. The alarms will be announced in the same way as measurements from other
sources. See the Instructions for Use of the Information Center for details.
•When assigned to GuardianSoftware: Measurement values sent via transmitter, hotspot or MP5 to
IntelliVue GuardianSoftware will be visualized in GuardianSoftware. Since IntelliVue GuardianSoftware
is a data management system, no alarms are announced. The IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices
will also not generate physiological alarms when connected to IntelliVue GuardianSoftware. See the
Instructions for Use of GuardianSoftware.
Assigning an IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Device to a Host
When an IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod is used with a host system (patient monitor, telemetry device or
GuardianSoftware), the Pod must be assigned to that host system.
The assignment can be done at the CL SpO

Monitoring SpO2
Philips pulse oximetry uses a motion-tolerant signal processing algorithm, based on Fourier artifact
suppression technology (FAST). A sensor is used that transmits light of two different wavelengths through
the tissue of the patient. The measurement principle of pulse oximetry is based on the specific absorption
characteristics of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin and the pulsating arteriolar vascular bed at the
measurement site. It provides four measurements:
•Oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO
sum of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin (functional arterial oxygen saturation).
•Pleth waveform - auto-scaled visual indication of patient's pulse which is not directly proportional to
the pulse volume (only on patient monitor, GuardianSoftware or Information Center, if assigned).
•Pulse rate (derived from pleth wave) - detected pulsations per minute.
•Perfusion indicator - numerical value for the pulsatile portion of the measured signal caused by arterial
pulsation (only on patient monitor, if assigned).

Removing the Pod from the Cradle
To remove the SpO2 Pod from the cradle, pull on the Pod at the opening in the cradle, while holding the
cradle in place on the patient's arm.
Applying the Sensor
1Choose a finger of the patient that matches the sensor dimension in a way that the sensor optical
components are properly aligned and the sensor is neither too loose nor applies too much pressure to
the finger. For small pediatric patients consider the thumb.
2Remove colored nail polish from the application site.
3Apply the sensor to the patient. The application site should match the sensor size so that the sensor can
neither fall off, nor apply excessive pressure. See the sections below for details on applying the different
sensors.
4Check that the light emitter and the photodetector are directly opposite each other. All light from the
emitter must pass through the patient's tissue.
30
WARNING
Proper Sensor Fit: If a sensor is too loose, it might compromise the optical alignment or fall off. If it is too
tight, for example because the application site is too large or becomes too large due to edema, excessive
pressure may be applied. This can result in venous congestion distal from the application site, leading to
interstitial edema, hypoxemia and tissue malnutrition. Skin irritations or lacerations may occur as a result of
the sensor being attached to one location for too long. To avoid skin irritations and lacerations, periodically
inspect the sensor application site and change the application site regularly.
Venous Pulsation: Do not apply sensor too tightly as this results in venous pulsation which may severely
obstruct circulation and lead to inaccurate measurements.
Ambient Temperature: At elevated ambient temperatures be careful with measurement sites that are not
well perfused, because this can cause severe burns after prolonged application. All listed sensors operate
without risk of exceeding 41°C on the skin if the initial skin temperature does not exceed 35°C.
Extremities to Avoid: Avoid placing the sensor on extremities with an arterial catheter, an NBP cuff or an
intravascular venous infusion line.
Page 31
Measuring SpO2
During measurement, ensure that the application site:
–has a pulsatile flow, ideally with a perfusion indicator value above 1.0 or, if the perfusion indicator is
–has not changed in its thickness (for example, due to edema), causing an improper fit of the sensor.
WARNING
2 IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod
not available, with signal quality indicator of at least medium.
•If not specified otherwise in the SpO
sensor's instructions for use, the following applies:
2
–For fully conscious pediatric or adult patients, who have a normal function of perfusion and
sensory perception at the measurement site:
To ensure skin quality and correct optical alignment of the sensor, inspect the application site when
the measurement results are suspicious or when the patient complains about pressure at the
application site, but at least every 24 hours. Correct the sensor alignment if necessary. Move the
sensor to another site, if the skin quality changes.
–For all other patients:
Inspect the application site every two to three hours to ensure skin quality and correct optical
alignment. Correct the sensor alignment if necessary. If the skin quality changes, move the sensor
to another site.
Change the application site at least every four hours.
•Injected dyes such as methylene blue, or intravascular dyshemoglobins such as methemoglobin and
carboxyhemoglobin may lead to inaccurate measurements.
•Inaccurate measurements may result when the application site for the sensor is deeply pigmented or
deeply colored, for example, with nail polish, artificial nails, dye or pigmented cream.
•Interference can be caused by:
–High levels of ambient light (including IR warmers) or strobe lights or flashing lights (such as fire
alarm lamps). (Hint: cover application site with opaque material.)
–Another SpO
sensor in close proximity (e.g. when more than one SpO2 measurement is
2
performed on the same patient). Always cover both sensors with opaque material to reduce crossinterference.
–Electromagnetic interference, especially at perfusion indicator values below 1.0 or signal quality
indicator below medium.
–Excessive patient movement and vibration.
Selecting Measurement Modes
There are three different modes available for making SpO2 measurements:
•Continuous mode - SpO
•Manual mode - a single SpO
menu item is selected. One set of values is then displayed with the time the measurement was made.
•Automatic mode - a series of measurements is made with an interval between them. The interval is
selected using the
automatically when automatic mode is selected.
The values measured in manual mode or automatic mode will be displayed for a configurable time span.
After that the values are regarded as invalid and are no longer displayed. Battery power usage will be
appreciably higher when measuring in continuous mode, in comparison to manual or automatic mode,
resulting in a reduced battery runtime.

Assessing a Suspicious SpO2 Reading
Traditionally, pulse rate from SpO2 was compared with heart rate from ECG to confirm the validity of the
SpO
reading. With newer algorithms, such as FAST-SpO2, this is no longer a valid criteria because the

correct calculation of SpO
is not directly linked to the correct detection of each pulse.

If you doubt the measured SpO
, use the signal quality indicator (if available) or, when used with a patient
2
monitor, the pleth wave and perfusion indicator on the monitor to assess the signal quality.
WARNING
With pulse oximetry, sensor movement, ambient light (especially strobe lights or flashing lights) or
electromagnetic interference can give unexpected intermittent readings when the sensor is not attached.
Especially bandage-type sensor designs are sensitive to minimal sensor movement that might occur when
the sensor is dangling.
Changing the Averaging Time
Depending on the monitor configuration, you may be able to change the averaging time for the SpO2
values.
The averaging time represents the approximate time period used for the calculation. The exact averaging
time also depends on the signal conditions. The longer the averaging time, the longer the time needed until

Alarms
The IntelliVue Cableless Measurements have two different types of alarm: patient alarms and technical
alarms (INOPs).
Patient Alarms
Patient Alarms are high priority alarms (such as a potentially life threatening situation), also called red
alarms, or medium priority alarms, also called yellow alarms.
Technical Alarms (INOPs)
Technical alarms, also known as INOPs, indicate that the measuring device cannot measure reliably. If an
INOP interrupts monitoring, there will be a question mark in place of the measurement numeric. An INOP
tone sounds at the Cableless Measurement Device only when there is no SRR connection to a host.
Exception: the Battery empty INOP tone sounds also with SRR connection.
Most INOPs are low priority, however there are a small number of INOPs which, due to their severity, are
medium or high priority.
Alarm Delays
There is a delay between a physiological event at the measurement site and the corresponding alarm
indication at the Cableless Measurement Device. This delay has two components:
•The general measurement delay time is the time between the occurrence of the physiological event and
when this event is represented by the displayed numerical values. This delay depends on the algorithmic
processing.
•The time between the displayed numerical values crossing an alarm limit and the alarm indication on
the device is the system alarm delay. The system alarm delay is the processing time the system needs for
any alarm on the Cableless Measurement Device to be indicated after the measurement has triggered
the alarm. This delay depends on the Cableless Measurement Device and the connected host system.
See the performance specifications in the chapter “IntelliVue CL SpO2 Pod Specifications” on
page 133 for the system alarm delay specification of the Cableless Measurement Device.
The alarm delay configured for a specific measurement is normally a fixed time.
Multiple Alarms
If more than one alarm is active, the alarm messages are shown in the alarm status area in succession. An
arrow symbol next to the alarm message informs you that more than one message is active.
The Cableless Measurement Device sounds an audible indicator for the highest priority alarm. If more than
one alarm condition is active in the same measurement, the Cableless Measurement Device announces the
most severe.
NOTE
If you want to use local attended monitoring, make sure to have all Cableless Measurement Devices
upgraded to at least Rev. B.02.
Visual Alarm Indicators
WARNING
•No patient alarms are available on the Cableless Measurement Devices when assigned to a host monitor

Alarm Message
Alarm messages are displayed in black on a light gray background in the alarm status area at the top of the
screen indicating the source of the alarm and coded according to their severity. If more than one

Silence
No local alarming on Cableless Measurement Device. The device is connected
to a host monitor or telemetry device and has no visual or audible patient alarm
indicators. The device will only display INOP messages.
Audible Alarm Indicators
Audible alarm indicator patterns are repeated until you acknowledge the alarm by switching it off or pausing
it, or until the alarm condition ceases (if audible alarm indication is set to non-latching).
Cableless Measurements Devices alone (without host, e.g. a patient monitor) are not suitable for unattended
monitoring due to their limited alarm volume.
WARNING
•Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm
volume to a low level or off during patient monitoring may result in patient danger. Remember that the
most reliable method of patient monitoring combines close personal surveillance with correct
operation of monitoring equipment.
•No patient alarms are available on the Cableless Measurement Devices when connected to a host
monitor (unless they are selected for use in patient transport at the monitor they are assigned to) or to
GuardianSoftware.
•When connected to a host monitor or GuardianSoftware, no alarm tones are available on the Cableless

Latching Alarms
The alarm latching setting for your device defines how the alarm indicators behave when you do not
acknowledge them. When alarms are set to non-latching, their indicators end when the alarm condition
ends. Switching alarm latching on means that visual and/or audible alarm indications are still displayed or
announced by the device after the alarm condition ends. The indication lasts until you acknowledge the
alarm.

Testing Alarms
When you switch the CL SpO2 Pod on, a selftest is started. You must check that the backlight switches on,
and that you hear a single tone. This indicates that the alarm indicators are functioning correctly. For further
testing of individual measurement alarms, perform the measurement on yourself or use a simulator. Adjust
alarm limits and check that appropriate alarm behavior is observed.
Alarm Behavior at Power On

When the device is switched back on from either state, it will start in Profile A and you may have to switch
to the desired profile which contains your alarm settings.
After any of these situations, you should check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient and

Integrated Battery Handling
Only qualified and authorized service personnel (biomedical engineers or technicians) should change
batteries.
Battery Care
Battery care begins when you receive a new IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Device with built-in battery
and continues throughout the life of the device. The table below lists battery care activities and when they
should be performed.
ActivityWhen to perform
Perform a visual inspectionBefore using the IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Device
Charge the batteryUpon receipt, after use, or if a low battery state is indicated. To
optimize performance, a fully (or almost fully) discharged
battery should be charged as soon as possible.
Store the device in a state of charge in the
range of 40-50% and power off the device
completely.
When not in use for an extended period of time, or when the
device is shipped.
Handling Precautions
Lithium ion batteries store a large amount of energy in a small package. Use caution when handling the
IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices with built-in battery; misuse or abuse could cause bodily injury
and/or property damage.
•Handle with care.
•Do not expose the device to liquids.
•Do not attempt to disassemble the device.
•Do not put device in autoclave.
•Damaged devices should not be used anymore.
WARNING
•Do not crush or puncture - mechanical abuse can lead to internal damage and internal short circuits
which may not be visible externally.
•Do not incinerate the devices or expose them to temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
50
Page 51
Storage
If unused IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices are stored for an extended period of time:
•they should be powered off for storage
•they should be stored in a cool place, ideally between 15°C and 25°C (60°F and 77°F)
•the state of charge should be between 40 and 50%
•they should be recharged every six months
Storing in a cool place slows the aging process of the batteries. They should be fully charged prior to use.
Do not store the device at a temperature outside the range of -20°C (-4°F) to 60°C(140°F).
Do not store cableless devices in direct sunlight.
NOTE
Storing the devices at temperatures above 40°C (104°F) for extended periods of time could significantly
reduce the battery's life expectancy.
Battery Lifetime Management
The lifetime of a Lithium Ion battery depends on the frequency and duration of use. When properly cared
for, the useful life is approximately 4 years or 400 complete charge-discharge cycles, whichever comes first.
In addition, experience indicates that the incidence of failure may increase with battery service life due to the
accumulated stresses of daily use. We therefore strongly recommend that lithium ion batteries be replaced
after 4 years or 400 complete charge-discharge cycles.
To see the date of manufacture and the number of charge-discharge cycles:
1Select the
2Press the hardkey to view the battery details.

3IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
To measure NBP, you need Philips standard cuffs, a Mobile CL NBP Cradle and a pouch and extension air
hose, or a Mobile CL NBP Cradle and Mobile CL Cuffs. When using Mobile CL Cuffs, the cradle is used to
attach the Pod to the cuffs and to allow easy removal of the Pod.
3
Standard Philips cuffs and specialized single-patient and reusable NBP cuffs are available for use with the
IntelliVue CL NBP Pod. For details regarding the cuffs and single-patient cradle, refer to “IntelliVue CL
NBP Pod Accessories” on page 94.
General Operation of the NBP Pod
The following sections describe operation on the NBP Pod itself. For operation from a patient monitor, see
“Controls Available with a Patient Monitor” on page 67. For operation from an Information Center via a
telemetry system, see “Controls Available with a Telemetry Device” on page 68. For operation with
IntelliVue GuardianSoftware, see “Controls Available with GuardianSoftware” on page 68.
The NBP Pods have three hardkeys for basic operation and a set of configurable SmartKeys which appear
on the screen. These are used to activate and navigate through the on-screen menus and to select individual
items. The typical operator's position is such that everything on the device's display can be read clearly and
easily.
Switching the Devices On
The first time an NBP Pod is used, or after the device has been powered off for storage, place it on the
IntelliVue CL Charging Station. This will automatically switch the device on.
If the NBP Pod has only been switched off temporarily (see “Switching the Device Off” on page 17), press
any hardkey to turn the device on again.
When an NBP Pod is not operated, it will automatically switch off the screen lighting after a short time. A

Connection with Host Systems
The following sections describe how the IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices work together with
host systems (Patient Monitors, Fetal Monitors, Telemetry Devices / Information Center or
GuardianSoftware).
IntelliVue Cableless Measurements Use Models
With these patient-worn measurement devices you can measure and transmit a patient's vitals regularly or
on an intermittent data collection basis. There are four typical use models:
With a Patient Monitor
The IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices can be used together with an MP5/MP5SC/MP5T, MP2 or
X2 patient monitor (with an SRR interface). They can communicate their measurement values via short
range radio to the monitor. The monitor may be assigned to a patient sector at the IntelliVue Information
Center (IIC). When assigned to the Information Center, certain actions can be performed at both the
patient monitor and the Information Center. See the table “Controls Available with a Patient Monitor” on
page 67.
In situations where patients are becoming more mobile (for example, in step-down/intermediate care units)
the lightweight Cableless Measurement Devices allow increased mobility within the short range radio range,
without giving up vital signs monitoring.
When assigned to a patient monitor, the Cableless Measurement Device can be selected for use in patient
transport at the patient monitor (for details see the Patient Monitor Instructions for Use). In this case, the
Cableless Measurement Device will perform local attended monitoring. The patient must be attended by
a caregiver during transport, to ensure that alarms on the Cableless Measurement Device are recognized. In
local attended monitoring mode, an alarm message text appears in the alarm status area at the top of the
screen indicating the source of the alarm and an alarm tone is issued. See “Alarms” on page 34 for details.
A telemetry device can be assigned to a patient monitor equipped with short range radio at the same time as
any Cableless Measurement Devices are also assigned to this monitor.
When assigned to a patient monitor, the admitted patient name is displayed on the NBP Pod.
If the connection between the monitor and the Cableless Measurement Device is lost, an INOP will be
displayed at the monitor:
Pod, and an INOP tone will sound. In this case, visual and audible alarms are still available at the NBP Pod,
but it is not possible to change the alarm settings.
cl NBP Disconnect. A No Host Monitoring INOP will be displayed on the NBP
With a Fetal Monitor
In combination with an Avalon CL Transducer System, the IntelliVue CL NBP Pod can be used together
with an Avalon FM 20-50 Fetal Monitor. The NBP Pods are assigned to the fetal monitor by docking them
at the Avalon CL Base Station. For information about Avalon Fetal Monitors, the Avalon CL Transducer
System and the Avalon CL Base Station, please refer to the Avalon Fetal Monitor Instructions for Use.
With a Telemetry Device
The Cableless Measurement Devices can be assigned to a patient with the telemetry device TRx4841A/
TRx4851A or an MX40 wearable patient monitor. They can communicate their measurement values via
short range radio to the telemetry device which communicates them to an IntelliVue Information Center to
provide a consolidated set of patient values.
Some of the measurement tasks can be performed remotely from the Information Center. See the table
“Controls Available with a Telemetry Device” on page 68.
If the patient name is available at the Information Center, it will be also displayed on the NBP Pod.
62
Page 63
When a Cableless Measurement Device is assigned to a telemetry device, it is not possible for the telemetry
device to be wirelessly assigned or directly connected to a patient monitor.
If the connection between the telemetry device and the Cableless Measurement Device is lost, an INOP will
be displayed at the Information Center:
on the NBP Pod, and an INOP tone will sound.
With IntelliVue GuardianSoftware
The Cableless Measurement Devices can be used together with IntelliVue GuardianSoftware.
GuardianSoftware collects non-continuous vital signs data that are transmitted via a Transmitter, Hotspot
or MP5 from the Cableless Measurement Devices. Using the collected data, it provides trending, review,
reporting and notification. The Guardian Early Warning Scoring (Guardian EWS) application provides
basic assessment guidance, helping you to recognize the early signs of deterioration in your patients.
GuardianSoftware is not intended for monitoring in combination with Cableless Measurement Devices.
Some of the measurement tasks can be performed remotely from GuardianSoftware. See the table
“Controls Available with GuardianSoftware” on page 68. GuardianSoftware also manages the patient data.
If the connection between GuardianSoftware and the Cableless Measurement Device is lost, the connection
symbol will be displayed gray at GuardianSoftware. A

If a patient name is available at GuardianSoftware, it will be also displayed on the Pod. Any update of
patient data will be synchronized between the Pods and GuardianSoftware. The only patient management
action available directly at the Pod is

Availability of Patient Alarms
When the IntelliVue CL NBP Pod is used alone, without an assignment to a monitor or telemetry device no
patient alarms will be generated.
When the IntelliVue CL NBP Pod is assigned to a patient monitor or telemetry device and a short range
radio connection exists, alarms may be announced at the patient monitor or the Information Center.
•When assigned to a patient monitor / fetal monitor: Alarm messages will be displayed and audible
alarm indicators sounded at the monitor in the same way and under the same conditions as for its own
measurements. See the Instructions for Use of the patient monitor for details.
If a Cableless Measurement Device that is assigned to a patient monitor is selected for use in patient
transport at the patient monitor, the Cableless Measurement Device will perform local attended monitoring. See the Instructions for Use of the patient monitor for details on how to do this. The
patient must be attended by a caregiver during transport, to ensure that alarms on the Cableless
Measurement Device are recognized. In local attended monitoring mode, an alarm message text
appears in the alarm status area at the top of the screen indicating the source of the alarm and an alarm
tone is issued. See “Alarms” on page 34 for details.
63
Page 64
3 IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
•When assigned to a telemetry device: Measurement values sent via the telemetry device to the
IntelliVue Information Center can generate alarms at the Information Center when the values meet the
criteria set there for alarms. The alarms will be announced in the same way as measurements from other
sources. See the Instructions for Use of the Information Center for details.
•When assigned to GuardianSoftware: Measurement values sent via transmitter, hotspot or MP5 to
IntelliVue GuardianSoftware will be visualized in GuardianSoftware. Since IntelliVue GuardianSoftware
is a data management system, no alarms are announced. The IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices
will also not generate physiological alarms when connected to IntelliVue GuardianSoftware. See the
Instructions for Use of GuardianSoftware.
Assigning an IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Device to a Host
When an IntelliVue CL NBP Pod is used with a host system (patient monitor, telemetry device or
GuardianSoftware), the Cableless Measurement Device must be assigned to that host system.
The assignment can be done at the CL NBP Pod itself or at the host system (patient monitor or
GuardianSoftware).
WARNING
Always make sure that the applied CL NBP Pod is assigned to the correct patient.
WARNING

Monitoring NBP
The IntelliVue CL NBP Pod uses the oscillometric method for measuring NBP. The blood pressure
measurements determined with this device were clinically validated according to ISO 81060-2 in relation to
mean error and standard deviation, when compared to auscultatory measurements (depending on the
configuration) in a representative patient population. The fifth Korotkoff sound was used to determine the
diastolic pressure for adult/adolescent subjects and the 4th for pediatric subjects.
The accuracy of the mean arterial pressure (MAP) was validated using the approximation:
MAP
= (SYS
ref
with SYS
ref
The NBP measurement is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgery and during the discharge of a
cardiac defibrillator according to IEC 80601-2-30.
Introducing the Oscillometric NBP Measurement
Oscillometric devices measure the amplitude of pressure changes (oscillations) in the occluding cuff as the
cuff deflates from above systolic pressure. The amplitude suddenly increases as the pulse breaks through the
occlusion in the artery. As the cuff pressure decreases further, the pulsations increase in amplitude, reach a
maximum (which approximates to the mean pressure), and then diminish.
Studies show that, especially in critical cases (arrhythmia, vasoconstriction, hypertension, shock),
oscillometric devices are more accurate and consistent than devices using other noninvasive measuring
techniques.

WARNING
Patient Category: Do not use the IntelliVue CL NBP Pod on neonatal patients. The initial inflation
pressure and overpressure safety limits are too high for neonatal patients and could cause fractures and
bruises.
Intravenous infusion: Do not use the NBP cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion or arterial catheter
in place. This could cause tissue damage around the catheter when the infusion is slowed or blocked during
cuff inflation.
Skin Damage: Do not measure NBP in cases of sickle-cell disease or any condition where skin damage has
occurred or is expected.
Existing Wounds: Do not apply the cuff over a wound as this can cause further injury.
Mastectomy: Avoid applying the cuff on the side of the mastectomy, as the pressure increases the risk of
lymphedema. For patients with a bilateral mastectomy, use clinical judgement to decide whether the benefit
of the measurement outweighs the risk.
Unattended Measurement: Use clinical judgement to decide whether to perform frequent unattended
blood pressure measurements. Too frequent measurements can cause blood flow interference potentially
resulting in injury to the patient. In cases of severe blood clotting disorders frequent measurements increase
the risk of hematoma in the limb fitted with the cuff.
Temporary Loss of Function: The pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss of function of
monitoring equipment used simultaneously on the same limb.
CAUTION
If you spill liquid onto the equipment or accessories, particularly if there is a chance that it can get inside the
tubing or the measurement device, contact your service personnel.

Measurement Limitations
NBP readings can be affected by the position of the patient, their physiological condition, the measurement
site, and physical exercise. Thus a physician must determine the clinical significance of the NBP
information.
Measurements are impossible with heart rate extremes of less than 40 bpm or greater than 300 bpm, or if
the patient is on a heart-lung machine.
The measurement may be inaccurate or impossible:
•with excessive and continuous patient movement such as shivering or convulsions
•if a regular arterial pressure pulse is hard to detect with cardiac arrhythmias
•with rapid blood pressure changes
•with severe shock or hypothermia that reduces blood flow to the peripheries
•with obesity, where a thick layer of fat surrounding a limb dampens the oscillations coming from the
artery
•on an edematous extremity.
Accelerated Measurement
When the accelerated measurement is used the minimum number of oscillations per deflation step is 1,
instead of the 2 in the standard measurement. This allows a faster measurement result but requires that the
patient keeps the limb in question still. The accelerated measurement is recommended for use when very
few or no artifacts are expected, for example with sedated patients.
You can see whether the accelerated measurement is in use by looking in the patient monitor's
menu. The

Measurement Modes
There are three modes for measuring NBP:
•
Manual - measurement on demand.
•
Auto - continually repeated measurements (between one minute and 24 hours adjustable interval).
•
Sequence - up to four measurement cycles which will run consecutively, with number of measurements
and interval between them configurable for each cycle.
Auto and Sequence modes must be set up, before a measurement series can be started. See “Enabling
Automatic Mode and Setting Repetition Time” on page 74 and “Enabling Sequence Mode and Setting Up
The Sequence” on page 75.
Additionally, you have the possibility to start an immediate, one-time measurement series at any time:
•
STAT - rapid series of measurements over a five minute period. Use only on supervised patients.
After a STAT measurement series, the monitor returns to the previous mode. If an
measurement series was running before the STAT measurement, it will continue to run afterwards.
Reference Method
The measurement reference method is always Auscultatory (manual cuff). For further information, see the
Application Note supplied on the documentation DVD.

Preparing to Measure NBP with Standard Cuffs
1Apply the carrying pouch to the patient.
2Apply the cuff to the patient's upper arm at the same level as the heart.
3 IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
If the cuff is not at heart level, you must use the measurement correction formula to correct the
measurement.
Make sure that you are using a Philips-approved correct sized cuff and that the bladder inside the cover
is not folded or twisted.
A wrong cuff size, and a folded or twisted bladder, can cause inaccurate measurements. The width of
the cuff should be in the range from 37% to 47% of the limb circumference.
Do not wrap the cuff too tightly around the limb. It may cause discoloration, and ischemia of the
extremities.
3Connect the extension air hose to the cuff.
71
Page 72
3 IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
4Connect the extension air hose to the cradle.
Hold the flat part of the connector vertically when plugging it into the inlet, then twist it clockwise to
lock into place. Avoid compression or restriction of pressure tubes. Air must pass unrestrictedly
through the tubing.
WARNING
Kinked or otherwise restricted tubing can lead to a continuous cuff pressure, causing blood flow
interference and potentially resulting in injury to the patient.
5Place the NBP Pod into the cradle.
6Put the NBP Pod into the carrying pouch.
Make sure to pinch the velcro enclosures firmly together around the extension hose exiting from the
pouch.
CAUTION
Make sure that the air vent, located next to the air tubing connector on the NBP Pod, is not covered
during operation. If air cannot enter the air vent, the pump may be damaged.
72
Page 73
WARNING
Inspect the application site of the cuff regularly to ensure skin quality and inspect the extremity of the
cuffed limb for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If the skin quality changes, or if the extremity
circulation is being affected, move the cuff to another site or stop the blood pressure measurements
immediately. Check more frequently when making automatic or stat measurements.
Attaching the Pod Directly to a Mobile CL Cuff
As an alternative to using a carrying pouch, you can attach the NBP Pod directly to the cuff. In this case you
do not need the extension hose.
1Attach the cradle to the NBP cuff.
2Plug the air tubing into the cradle.
3Apply the cuff to the patient's upper arm.
Apply the cuff so that the cradle is located at the outside of the arm. The bladder of the cuff is then
automatically over the artery.
4Insert the NBP Pod into the cradle.

Alarms
3 IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
The IntelliVue Cableless Measurements have two different types of alarm: patient alarms and technical
alarms (INOPs).
Patient Alarms
Patient Alarms are high priority alarms (such as a potentially life threatening situation), also called red
alarms, or medium priority alarms, also called yellow alarms.
Technical Alarms (INOPs)
Technical alarms, also known as INOPs, indicate that the measuring device cannot measure reliably. If an
INOP interrupts monitoring, there will be a question mark in place of the measurement numeric. An INOP
tone sounds at the Cableless Measurement Device only when there is no SRR connection to a host.
Exception: the Battery empty INOP tone sounds also with SRR connection.
Most INOPs are low priority, however there are a small number of INOPs which, due to their severity, are
medium or high priority.
Alarm Delays
There is a delay between a physiological event at the measurement site and the corresponding alarm
indication at the Cableless Measurement Device. This delay has two components:
•The general measurement delay time is the time between the occurrence of the physiological event and
when this event is represented by the displayed numerical values. This delay depends on the algorithmic
processing.
•The time between the displayed numerical values crossing an alarm limit and the alarm indication on
the device is the system alarm delay. The system alarm delay is the processing time the system needs for
any alarm on the Cableless Measurement Device to be indicated after the measurement has triggered
the alarm. This delay depends on the Cableless Measurement Device and the connected host system.
See the performance specifications in the chapter “IntelliVue CL NBP Pod Specifications” on page 135
for the system alarm delay specification of the Cableless Measurement Device.
The alarm delay configured for a specific measurement is normally a fixed time.
Multiple Alarms
If more than one alarm is active, the alarm messages are shown in the alarm status area in succession. An
arrow symbol next to the alarm message informs you that more than one message is active.
The Cableless Measurement Device sounds an audible indicator for the highest priority alarm. If more than
one alarm condition is active in the same measurement, the Cableless Measurement Device announces the
most severe.
NOTE
If you want to use local attended monitoring, make sure to have all Cableless Measurement Devices
upgraded to at least Rev. B.02.
Visual Alarm Indicators
WARNING
•No patient alarms are available on the Cableless Measurement Devices when assigned to a host monitor
(unless they are selected for use in patient transport at the monitor they are assigned to) or
GuardianSoftware.
•Visual patient alarm indicators are disabled on the Cableless Measurement Devices when connected to
a host monitor (unless they are selected for use in patient transport at the monitor they are assigned to)
or GuardianSoftware.

Alarm Message
Alarm messages are displayed in black on a light gray background in the alarm status area at the top of the
screen indicating the source of the alarm and coded according to their severity. If more than one
measurement is in an alarm condition, the message changes every few seconds, and has an arrow ( ) at the
side. The asterisk symbols (
yellow alarms. Standard INOPs do not have a symbol, red and yellow INOPs have exclamation marks
beside the alarm message:
An alarm message that appears is automatically highlighted. Use the key to silence the message. A
message is displayed at the bottom of the screen and highlighted. Press again to confirm the
acknowledgment of the alarm. After the confirmation, any ongoing alarm message is displayed in the icon
tray of the screen.
Alarm States
Depending on the alarm state of your Cableless Measurement Device, the following icons may be displayed
on the device:
IconDescription
*) beside the alarm message match the alarm priority: *** for red alarms, ** for
!!! for red INOPs and !! for yellow INOPs.
Silence
No local alarming on Cableless Measurement Device. The device is connected
to a host monitor or telemetry device and has no visual or audible patient alarm
indicators. The device will only display INOP messages.
Audible Alarm Indicators
Audible alarm indicator patterns are repeated until you acknowledge the alarm by switching it off or pausing
it, or until the alarm condition ceases (if audible alarm indication is set to non-latching).
Cableless Measurements Devices alone (without host, e.g. a patient monitor) are not suitable for unattended
monitoring due to their limited alarm volume.
WARNING
•Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm
volume to a low level or off during patient monitoring may result in patient danger. Remember that the
most reliable method of patient monitoring combines close personal surveillance with correct
operation of monitoring equipment.
•No patient alarms are available on the Cableless Measurement Devices when connected to a host
monitor (unless they are selected for use in patient transport at the monitor they are assigned to) or to
GuardianSoftware.
•When connected to a host monitor or GuardianSoftware, no alarm tones are available on the Cableless
Measurement Devices (unless they are selected for use in patient transport at the monitor they are
assigned to).
Alarms are switched off.
Alarm volume is set to 0.

Page 79
Silencing an Alarm
To silence an alarm, press the key.
This will silence the alarm tone and clear the alarm message. If the condition which caused the alarm is still
present, the alarm indicator will be displayed on the right hand side of the screen.
When using a Cableless Measurement Pod with an IntelliVue Information Center iX Release A, make sure
to remove the pod at the telemetry device and only when in SRR range of the telemetry device. Otherwise
you will get a technical alarm (
cl NBP Disconnect) that can not be silenced at the telemetry device. You will
then have to reboot the telemetry device to remove the message.

INOP, and any other active alarm, is not overlooked, the INOP and alarm tones may be configured to have
a minimum volume. In this case, INOP and alarm tones will sound even if the device alarm volume is set to
zero.
Alarm Reminder
If Reminder is configured on your device, you will get an audible reminder of alarm conditions that remain
active after you have silenced the alarm. This reminder may take the form of a repetition of the alarm tone
for a limited time, or an unlimited repetition of the alarm tone (this is the same as a new alarm). Alarm
Reminder is not available for standard, light blue INOPs but for yellow and red INOPs.
In Configuration Mode, you can set the interval between silencing the alarm and sounding the reminder
tone to one, two, or three minutes.

Pausing or Switching Off Alarms
If you want to temporarily prevent alarms from sounding, for example while you are moving a patient, you
can pause alarms. Depending on your device configuration, alarms are paused for one, two, or three
minutes, or infinitely. Infinite alarm pause is equivalent to switching the alarms off.

Latching Alarms
The alarm latching setting for your device defines how the alarm indicators behave when you do not
acknowledge them. When alarms are set to non-latching, their indicators end when the alarm condition
ends. Switching alarm latching on means that visual and/or audible alarm indications are still displayed or
announced by the device after the alarm condition ends. The indication lasts until you acknowledge the
alarm.

Integrated Battery Handling
Only qualified and authorized service personnel (biomedical engineers or technicians) should change
batteries.
Battery Care
Battery care begins when you receive a new IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Device with built-in battery
and continues throughout the life of the device. The table below lists battery care activities and when they
should be performed.
ActivityWhen to perform
Perform a visual inspectionBefore using the IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Device
Charge the batteryUpon receipt, after use, or if a low battery state is indicated. To
Store the device in a state of charge in the
range of 40-50% and power off the device
completely.
Handling Precautions
Lithium ion batteries store a large amount of energy in a small package. Use caution when handling the
IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices with built-in battery; misuse or abuse could cause bodily injury
and/or property damage.
•Handle with care.
•Do not expose the device to liquids.
•Do not attempt to disassemble the device.
•Do not put device in autoclave.
•Damaged devices should not be used anymore.
WARNING
•Do not crush or puncture - mechanical abuse can lead to internal damage and internal short circuits
which may not be visible externally.
•Do not incinerate the devices or expose them to temperatures above 60°C (140°F).
optimize performance, a fully (or almost fully) discharged
battery should be charged as soon as possible.
When not in use for an extended period of time, or when the
device is shipped.

Storage
If unused IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices are stored for an extended period of time:
•they should be powered off for storage
•they should be stored in a cool place, ideally between 15°C and 25°C (60°F and 77°F)
•the state of charge should be between 40 and 50%
•they should be recharged every six months
Storing in a cool place slows the aging process of the batteries. They should be fully charged prior to use.
Do not store the device at a temperature outside the range of -20°C (-4°F) to 60°C(140°F).
Do not store cableless devices in direct sunlight.
NOTE
Storing the devices at temperatures above 40°C (104°F) for extended periods of time could significantly
reduce the battery's life expectancy.
Battery Lifetime Management
The lifetime of a Lithium Ion battery depends on the frequency and duration of use. When properly cared
for, the useful life is approximately 4 years or 400 complete charge-discharge cycles, whichever comes first.
In addition, experience indicates that the incidence of failure may increase with battery service life due to the
accumulated stresses of daily use. We therefore strongly recommend that lithium ion batteries be replaced
after 4 years or 400 complete charge-discharge cycles.

4IntelliVue CL Respiration Pod
For respiration measurement, attach the Cableless Respiration Pod to the patient's left costal arch using the
Mobile CL Respiration Pod Attachment. As an option, the Respiration Pod also provides pulse
measurement. The CL Respiration Pod also provides information about patient posture (positions like
supine, prone, upright,...) and activity (e.g. very high or very low activity).
For details regarding the adhesive attachment (Mobile CL Respiration Pod Attachment), refer to “IntelliVue
CL Respiration Pod Accessories” on page 111.
General Operation of the Respiration Pod
4
The IntelliVue CL Respiration Pod does not have a display and is generally operated via the host system
(e.g. patient monitor). The Pod reports the measured values and status information to the host system via
SRR.
The IntelliVue CL Respiration Pod has a multi-color LED and a single operation key to display states and
allow some basic operation locally.
Putting the Pod into Operation
The first time a CL Respiration Pod is used, place it on the IntelliVue CL Charging Station. This will
automatically switch the device on, and the device will become visible to the host (patient monitor or
GuardianSoftware).
Checking the Battery Status
Press the key once to check the battery status:

storage or shipping.
Connection with Host Systems
The following sections describe how the IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices work together with
host systems (Patient Monitors or GuardianSoftware).
IntelliVue Cableless Measurements Use Models
With these patient-worn measurement devices you can measure and transmit a patient's vitals regularly or
on an intermittent data collection basis. There are two typical use models:
With a Patient Monitor
The IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices can be used together with an MP5/MP5SC/MP5T, MP2 or
X2 patient monitor (with an SRR interface). They can communicate their measurement values via short
range radio to the monitor. The monitor may be assigned to a patient sector at the IntelliVue Information
Center (IIC). When assigned to the Information Center, certain actions can be performed at both the
patient monitor and the Information Center. See the table “Controls Available with a Patient Monitor” on
page 102.
In situations where patients are becoming more mobile (for example, in step-down/intermediate care units)
the lightweight Cableless Measurement Devices allow increased mobility within the short range radio range,
without giving up vital signs monitoring.
A telemetry device can be assigned to a patient monitor equipped with short range radio at the same time as
any Cableless Measurement Devices are also assigned to this monitor.
If the connection between the monitor and the Cableless Measurement Device is lost, an INOP will be
displayed at the monitor:
With IntelliVue GuardianSoftware
The Cableless Measurement Devices can be used together with IntelliVue GuardianSoftware.
GuardianSoftware collects non-continuous vital signs data that are transmitted via a Transmitter, Hotspot
or MP5 from the Cableless Measurement Devices. Using the collected data, it provides trending, review,
reporting and notification. The Guardian Early Warning Scoring (Guardian EWS) application provides
basic assessment guidance, helping you to recognize the early signs of deterioration in your patients.
GuardianSoftware is not intended for monitoring in combination with Cableless Measurement Devices.
Some of the measurement tasks can be performed remotely from GuardianSoftware. See the table
“Controls Available with GuardianSoftware” on page 103. GuardianSoftware also manages the patient data.
If the connection between GuardianSoftware and the Cableless Measurement Device is lost, the connection
symbol will be displayed gray at GuardianSoftware.
