Integrated Monitor Theory of Operation
The IntelliVue MX400/450/500/550 Patient Monitor:
•displays real-time data
•controls the attached multi-measurement modules
•alarms in the case of patient or equipment problems
•offers limited data storage and retrieval (trending)
•interfaces to the Philips Clinical Network and other equipment
A monitor with just a single integrated measurement module can be connected to additional building
blocks to form a monitoring system with a large number of measurements and additional interface
capabilities and multiple slave displays. These elements cooperate as one single integrated real-time
measurement system.

Power Supply
2 Theory of Operation
Main Board
I/O Boards
The AC/DC converter transforms the AC power coming from the plug into 15V/ 70W DC source
and isolates the monitoring system from the AC power mains. The 15V is distributed via power bus
either directly or over additional converters to all components of the system:
The battery charger is supplied with 15V and switches between AC/DC supply and battery depending
on whether AC power cord is plugged or unplugged.
The 48V DC power needed for the MSL is created by an isolating DC/DC converter.
The LED backlight converter located on the panel adapter board is supplied with 9V - 12.6V / 15V.
The isolated interfaces are supplied with 2.5V AC. The main board is supplied with 5V, 3.3V, 1.5V,
1.4V and 1.2V.
Additionally, for some infrastructural functions 3.6V is provided to the main board.
The main board contains the CPU which includes the graphic processing unit and USB controller. The
main memory, a system FPGA, a system controller including watchdogs and various power supplies
are located on this board. Additionally, this board contains the MSL interface, the recorder interface,
the ECG Out hardware and various other interfaces.
System information is stored in serial EEPROMs to support the automatic configuration of the
operating system at boot time.
A dual MIB/RS232 board, a Flexible Nurse Call Relay board or an IntelliBridge board can be added
optionally.
19
2 Theory of Operation
Data Flow
The following diagram shows how data is passed through the monitoring system. The individual stages
of data flow are explained below.
Data Flow
Data Acquisition
Monitoring data (for example patient measurement data in the form of waves, numerics and alerts) is
acquired from a variety of sources:
•Measurement Servers
The Measurement Servers connected to the internal LAN convert patient signals to digital data
and apply measurement algorithms to analyze the signals.
•External measurement devices
Data can be also acquired from devices connected to interface boards of the monitor. Software
modules dedicated to such specific devices convert the data received from an external device to
the format used internally. This applies to parameter modules and the Anesthetic Gas Module.
•Server systems on the Philips Clinical Network
To enable networked applications such as the other bed overview, data can be acquired from server
systems attached to the Philips Clinical Network, for example a Philips Information Center
Data Provider System Service
All data that is acquired from measurement servers or external measurement devices is temporarily
stored by a dedicated data provider system service. All monitor applications use this central service to
access the data in a consistent and synchronized way rather than talking to the interfaces directly.
This service makes the applications independent of the actual type of data acquisition device.
The amount of data stored in the data provider system service varies for the different data types. For
example several seconds of wave forms and the full set of current numerical values are temorarily
stored in RAM.
20
Persistent Data Storage System Service
Some applications require storage of data over longer periods of time. They can use the persistent data
storage system service. Dependent on the application requirements, this service can store data either in
battery backed-up (buffered) memory or in flash memory. The buffered memory will lose its contents
if the monitor is without power (not connected to mains) for an extended period of time. The flash
memory does not lose its contents.
The trend application for example stores vital signs data in a combination of flash memory and
buffered memory, while the system configuration information (profiles) is kept purely in flash
memory.
Display and User Interface Service
Applications can use high level commands to display monitoring data or status and command windows
on the internal LCD panel. These commands are interpreted by the display manager application. This
application controls the dedicated video hardware.
User input is acquired from a variety of input devices, for example the touchscreen or other standard
input devices (keyboard, mouse). The system software makes sure that the user input is directed to the
application which has the operating focus.
2 Theory of Operation
Data Output
The monitoring system is very flexible and customizable regarding its data output devices. Built-in
devices (for example LAN, video) provide the basic output capabilities.
These capabilities can be enhanced by adding additional I/O boards, as required in the specific enduser setup. The additional I/O boards typically provide data to externally attached devices, for example
to RS232 based data collection devices.
The monitor can identify I/O boards by means of a serial EEPROM device that stores type and
version information. The operating system detects the I/O boards and automatically connects them
with the associated (interface driver) application. For some multi-purpose boards it is necessary to
configure the board for a particular purpose first (for example the MIB/RS232 board can support
external touch display , data import, data export).
Monitor Applications
The monitor applications provide additional system functionality over the basic measurement and
monitoring capabilities. This includes for example trending, report generating, event storage or derived
measurements.
In general, the monitor applications use the data provider system service to access the measurement
data. Application interfaces to the other system services allow the application to visualize data, to store
data over extended periods of time or to output data to other devices.
Internal LAN (Measurement Link)
The monitor and multi-measurement modules communicate using an IEEE802.3/ Ethernet LAN in
the Measurement Link (MSL). This network is used to distribute data between the components, for
example:
•Digitized patient signals including wave data, numerical data and status information (typically from
the measurement server to a display unit)
21
2 Theory of Operation
•Control data representing user interactions (typically from the display unit to a measurement
server)
•Shared data structures, for example representing patient demographical data and global
configuration items
The internal LAN allows plug and play configuration of the monitoring system. The system
automatically detects plugging or unplugging of measurement servers and configures the system
accordingly.
The components on the internal LAN are time-synchronized to keep signal data consistent in the
system. Dedicated hardware support for synchronization eliminates any latency of the network driver
software.
The integrated LAN provides deterministic bandwidth allocation/reservation mechanisms so that the
real-time characteristic of signal data and control data exchange is guaranteed. This applies to the data
flow from the measurement server to the monitor (for example measurement signal data) and the data
flow from the monitor to a measurement server (for example to feed data to a recorder module).
Philips Clinical Network
The monitoring system may be connected to the Philips Clinical Network, for example to provide
central monitoring capabilities or other network services. This connection may be through a normal
wired connection or through a wireless connection.
The monitor supports the connection of an internal wireless adapter (#J35). Switching between wired
and wireless networks is automatically triggered by the plugging or unplugging of the network cable.
The Philips Clinical Network protocols function very similarly to the protocols used on the internal
LAN.
After configuration, the monitoring system sends the digitized patient signals including wave data,
numerical data and status information onto the network. Control data representing user interactions
can be exchanged between the monitoring system and a central station bi-directionally.
Additional protocols are supported for networked applications, for example for the other bed
overview function, which allows viewing of monitoring data from other patients on the network.
For plug and play operation, the monitoring system uses the standard BootP protocol to automatically
acquire a network address.
Ambient Light Sensor
22
The monitor adjusts its display brightness depending on the ambient light level. Therefore an Ambient
Light Sensor is integrated in the front bezel of the display.
Although there is an automatic brightness adjustment, it is still possible for the user to change the
brightness. As shown in the figure above, the user can select between different brightness level curves.
If a constant brightness is desired, it is possible to deactivate the automatic brightness control via the
Config mode of the monitor. Without automatic brightness control, the user can select between
different constant brightness levels as shown below.
Microstream CO2
CO2 sample rate: 20 samples/second
2 Theory of Operation
Calculation of end tidial CO2 (etCO2)
The M3015A/B MMS Extensions use Microstream® non–dispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy
to continuously measure the amount of CO2 during every breath, the amount of CO2 present at the
end of exhalation (etCO2), the amount of CO2 present during inhalation (imCO2), and the respiratory
rate. The displayed etCO2 is the maximum etCO2 over the previous peak-picking interval as defined
by the Max Hold setting (configuration mode). It can be set to no peak picking (off), 10 seconds and
20 seconds.
Test method for respiration rate range
A breath simulator system combined with CO2 and N2 gases was used to simulate respiration rates
covering the specified range. The resulting end tidal CO2 values were compared to the expected value.
Differences between actual and expected end tidal CO2 values were within the limits of the specified
accuracy for the respective respiration rate, i.e. there was no effect of the respiration rate on the end
tidal CO2 values beyond those limits.
How does the Support Tool Work with the Monitor
The Support Tool Mark2 is a Windows application typically installed on the laptop of a customer
engineer or a biomedical engineer working in the customer’s own service department.
The purpose of the Support Tool Mark2 is to upgrade, configure and diagnose all monitoring
components (modules, measurement servers, and monitors) in the system over the network.
The tool allows access to internal service information and to serial numbers. It can be remotecontrolled, for example via a dial-up connection from a response center, provided the proper
infrastructure is in place.
For details see the Instructions for Use for the Support Tool Mark2.

Services
Operating SystemThe Operating System (OS) provides a layer of isolation between
the specific hardware implementation and the application
software. The OS performs system checks and allocates resources
to ensure safe operation when the system is first started. This
includes internal self-tests on several hardware modules and
configuration checks for validity of configuration with the
operating software. During normal operation, the OS continues to
run checks on system integrity. If error conditions are detected the
OS will halt monitoring operations and inform the operator about
the error condition.

2 Theory of Operation
Functional BlockDescription
System ServicesThe System Services provide generic common system services.
In particular:
They use a real-time clock component to track time. They
synchronize to network time sources and verify the accuracy of the
system time information. They are also responsible for managing
persistent user configuration data for all Measurement Servers and
IntelliVue Patient Monitoring System software modules. User
configuration data is stored in a non-volatile read/write storage
device
Applications
ReportsThe Reports Service retrieves current and stored physiological
data and status data to format reports for printing paper
documentation. The following reports are supported:
•Other reports (e.g. Loops, Review Applications, Drug report)
The Reports service generates report data which can be printed on
a local or a central printer.
RecordThe Record Service retrieves current and stored physiological data
and status data to format a continuous strip recording. A recording
can be triggered manually by the operator or automatically by an
alarm condition. The Record Service can also send data to a
recorder.

AlarmThe Alarm Service contains logic that prioritizes alarm conditions
TrendThe Trend service stores the sample values of physiological data
OxyCRGThe OxyCRG (Oxygen CardioRespiroGram) service derives a
ADTThe ADT (Admit/Discharge/Transmit) service maintains the
EventsThe Events Application captures physiological data from episodes
that are generated either by the Measurement Servers or by
IntelliVue Patient Monitoring System software modules. Visual
alarm signals (messages) are displayed at the top of the IntelliVue
Patient Monitoring System display and alarm sounds are generated
by a loudspeaker. Alarm conditions may be generated when a
physiological parameter exceeds preselected alarm limits or when a
physiological parameter or any other software module reports an
inoperative status (technical alarm, for example, the ECG leads
may have fallen off the patient). The Alarm service manages the
alarm inactivation states, for example suspension of alarms,
silencing of alarms, and alarm reminder. Alarm signals may also be
configured as latching (alarm signals are issued until they are
acknowledged by the operator, even when the alarm condition is
no longer true). The Alarm service controls the visual alarm
signals (alarm lamps).
and status data with a resolution of 12 seconds, 1 minute or 5
minutes for a period of up to 48 hours. The data is kept in battery
buffered read/write storage and flash memory devices to be
preserved across power failures. The stored data is protected via
consistency checks and checksums. When a new patient is
admitted, the trend database erases all data of the previous patient.

tcpO2 (Desaturations), and supporting the operator in visualizing
Apnea situations.
patient demographics information. The operator may admit a new
patient, discharge the old patient and enter or modify the patient
demographics. The ADT service also supports the transport of a
patient (trend database) with the M3001A Multi-Measurement
Module. The ADT service controls the deletion of old patient
data, the upload of trend data from the M3001A and the switching
back of all settings to user defaults. It also synchronizes patient
information with a central station on the network.
for later review and documentation purposes. Events can be
triggered automatically by an alarm condition, by user-defined
conditions or manually by the operator.

2 Theory of Operation
Functional BlockDescription
Protocol WatchProtocolWatch allows the execution of pre-defined clinical
protocols in the IntelliVue patient monitor by combining events
such as automatically triggered events, time and manually triggered
events with textbook knowledge thus aiding the operator to follow
clinical guidelines. ProtocolWatch notifies the operator when
certain combinations of clinical conditions occur and it documents
the developments and clinician actions in a log which can be
reviewed on the monitor and documented on a printer.
Calc ParamThe Calc Param (Calculated Parameters) service accesses current,
stored and manually entered physiological data as input to
calculation formulas. With these formulas, derived hemodynamic,
oxygenation and ventilation variables are computed. The
calculation results, including the input parameters, are stored for
later review using the Trend service.
Heart Mgr.The Heart Manager Application allows the selection of the
alarming source to be either heart rate (from ECG) or the system
pulse rate. The system pulse rate can be chosen from any of the
possible pulse rate sources (e.g., SpO2 and invasive pres-sures).
The module implements automatic fall-backs when selected signal
sources are not available.
Drug CalcThe Drug Calc application aids in calculating drug dosages for
patients.
EGMEGM (extensible Gas Module) interface aneasthesia gas
measurement devices. The EGM Module interfaces the M1013A
or M1019A Gas Analyzer devices. The EGM Module retrieves the
measurement data and controls the external device. It provides
numerical data, wave form data and alarm data for the gas
parameters measured by the attached analyzers.
PV LoopsThe PV Loops application compares graphic representations of
airway waves to help detect changes in the patient airway
condition.
Interface Managers
MDSEThe MDSE (Medical Data Service Element) Interface Manager is
responsible for the exchange of real-time data between the
IntelliVue Patient Monitoring System display unit and the
Measurement Servers as well as between the IntelliVue Patient
Monitoring System display unit and other devices attached to the
network. MDSE establishes and maintains a data communication
link between the devices. It provides configuration information
about the remote device to applications in the local device and it
allows the exchange of measurement data and status information
between the devices.

and safety of the monitor, the Multi-Measurement Module (MMS), the MMS Extensions and the
parameter modules.
These tests must be performed only by qualified personnel certified by the responsible organization.
Qualifications required are: training on the subject, knowledge, experience and acquaintance with the
relevant technologies, standards and local regulations. The personnel assessing safety must be able to
recognize possible consequences and risks arising from non-conforming equipment.
All recurring safety and performance assurance tests must be performed under equal environmental
conditions to be comparable.

Preventive Maintenance refers specifically to the series of tests required to make sure the measurement
results are accurate. The accuracy and performance procedures are designed to be completed as
specified in the following sections or when readings are in question.
For detailed instructions on the maintenance and cleaning of the monitor and its accessories, see Care and Cleaning, Using Batteries and Maintenance and Troubleshooting in the monitor's Instructions for Use.
Terminology and Definitions
The following terms and definitions are used throughout this chapter and taken from the international
standards IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-1 and IEC 62353.
•Medical System: a medical electrical system is a combination of at least one medical electrical
device and other electrical equipment, interconnected by functional connection or use of a
multiple portable socket-outlet.
•Patient Environment: any area in which intentional or unintentional contact can occur between
the patient and parts of the medical system or between the patient and other persons who have
had contact with parts of the medical system. The patient environment is defined anywhere within
1.5m (5 feet) of the perimeter of the patient's bed and 2.5m (8.2 feet) from the floor.
•Separation Device/Transformer: a component or arrangement of components with input parts
and output parts that, for safety reasons, prevent a transfer of unwanted voltage or current
between parts of a medical system.
•Multiple Portable Socket-Outlet: a combination of two or more socket-outlets intended to be
connected to or integrated with flexible cables or cords, which can easily be moved from one place
to another while connected to the power mains.
31
3 Testing and Maintenance
•Functional Connection: an electrical connection for transfer of signals and/or power.
•Tests: Safety or Performance Assurance test procedures which may consist of several steps.

3 Testing and Maintenance
NOTE
It is the responsibility of the facility operator or their designee to obtain reference values for recurring
safety and system tests. These reference values are the results of the first test cycles after an installation.
You may also purchase this service from Philips.
Testing Sequence
Summary of the recommended sequence of testing:
NOTE
If any single test fails, testing must be discontinued immediately and the device under test must be
repaired or labeled as defective.
Visual Inspection
Before Each Use
Check all exterior housings for cracks and damage. Check the condition of all external cables,
especially for splits or cracks and signs of twisting. If serious damage is evident, the cable should be
replaced immediately. Check that all mountings are correctly installed and secure. Refer to the
instructions that accompany the relevant mounting solution.
36
After Each Service, Maintenance or Repair Event
Check:
•the integrity of mechanical parts, internally and externally.
•any damage or contamination, internally and externally
•that no loose parts or foreign bodies remain in the device after servicing or repair.
•the integrity of all relevant accessories.
Power On Test
1Connect the monitoring system to mains and switch it on. This includes connected displays, MMS,
MMS Extensions, X2, and parameter modules, gas analyzers and IntelliBridge devices.
2Make sure that all steps listed in the table Initial Instrument Boot Phase in the Troubleshooting section
are completed successfully and that an ECG wave appears on the screen.
The expected test result is pass: the monitor boots up and displays an ECG wave. The wave might be
a flat line if no simulator is attached.
Safety Tests
3 Testing and Maintenance
Safety tests are comprised of the following tests performed on the monitoring system:
•protective earth resistance
•equipment leakage current
•applied part leakage current
•system test (if applicable)
Safety test requirements are set according to international standards, their national deviations and
specific local requirements. The safety tests detailed in this Service Guide are derived from
international standards but may not be sufficient to meet local requirements. We recommend that you
file the results of safety tests. This may help to identify a problem early particularly if the test results
deteriorate over a period of time.
Each individual piece of equipment which has its own connection to mains or which can be connected
or disconnected from mains without the use of a tool must be tested individually. The monitoring
system as a whole must be tested according to the procedure described in “System Test” on page 52.
Accessories which can affect the safety of the equipment under test or the results of the safety test
must be included in the tests and documented.
Warnings, Cautions, and Safety Precautions
•These tests are well established procedures of detecting abnormalities that, if undetected, could
result in danger to either the patient or the operator.
•Disconnect the device under test from the patient before performing safety tests.
•Disconnect the device under test from mains before performing safety tests. If this is not possible,
ensure that the performance of these tests does not result in danger to the safety analyzer operator,
patients or other individuals.
•Test equipment (for example, a Safety Analyzer) is required to perform the safety tests. Please refer
to Annex C of IEC/EN 62353 for exact requirements for the measurement equipment and for
measurement circuits for protective earth resistance and leakage currents. Refer to the
37
3 Testing and Maintenance
documentation that accompanies the test equipment. Only certified technicians should perform
safety testing.
•The consistent use of a Safety Analyzer as a routine step in closing a repair or upgrade is
emphasized as a mandatory step to maintain user and patient safety. You can also use the Safety Analyzer as a troubleshooting tool to detect abnormalities of line voltage and grounding plus total
current loads.
•During safety testing, mains voltage and electrical currents are applied to the device under test.
Ensure that there are no open electrical conductive parts during the performance of these tests.
Avoid that users, patients or other individuals come into contact with touch voltage.
•For Europe and Asia/Pacific, the monitor complies with:
IEC 60601-1:1988 + A1:1991 + A2:1995(Ed.2); EN60601-1:1990 + A1:1993 + A2:1995(Ed.2);
IEC 60601-1-1:2001; EN 60601-1-1:2001; IEC 60601-1-2:2001+A1:2004; EN 60601-12:2001+A1:2006.
For USA, the monitor complies with:
UL60601-1:2003
For Canada, CAN/CSA C22.2#601.1-M90+S1+A2
•Local regulations supersede the testing requirements listed in this chapter.
•If a non-medical electrical device is connected to a medical electrical device, the resulting medical
electrical system must comply IEC 60601-1-1:2000/ EN 60601-1-1:2001 or IEC 60601-1:2005/
EN 60601-1:2006+A1:2012 (Ed.3) Section 16 "ME Systems"
•Perform safety tests as described on the following pages.
Safety Test Procedures
Use the test procedures outlined here only for verifying and recording the initial values prior to or at
installation, safe installation or service of the product, and for periodic recurrent testing. The setups
used for these tests and the acceptable ranges of values are derived from local and international
standards but may not be equivalent. These tests are not a substitute for local safety testing where it is
required for an installation or a service event. If using an approved safety tester, perform the tests in
accordance with the information provided by the manufacturer of the tester and in accordance with
your local regulations, for example IEC/EN 60601-1, UL60601-1 (US), IEC/EN 62353, and IEC/EN
60601-1-1. The safety tester should print results as detailed in this chapter, together with other data.
Please refer to Annex C of IEC/EN 62353 for requirements for the measurement equipment and for
measurement circuits for protective earth resistance and leakage currents.
The following symbols are used in the diagrams illustrating the safety tests:

conductive parts
CAUTION
After each service, maintenance or repair event:
Ensure all fuses accessible from the outside comply with the manufacturer’s specification.
Check:
•the integrity of mechanical parts, internally and externally.
•any damage or contamination, internally and externally.
•that no loose parts or foreign bodies remain in the device after servicing or repair.
•the integrity of all relevant accessories.
Hints for Correct Performance of Safety Tests
•Perform a visual inspection on all detachable power cords used with the monitoring system and
include these in all safety test procedures.
•Connection lines such as data lines or functional earth conductors may appear to act like protective
earth connections. These may lead to incorrect measurements and need to be considered during
testing. If necessary, unplug these connections.
•During measurements, the device under test shall be isolated from earth (e.g. test on an insulated
work bench), except the protective earth conductor in the power supply cord.
•Position all cables and cords in such a manner that they do not influence the safety tests.
•Measurement of insulation resistance is not required.
•When testing a medical electrical system, where possible, test it such that potential ground voltage
variations are present as they may be during actual use.

3 Testing and Maintenance
Guideline for Performance of Safety Tests
This section introduces the general principle of performing recurrent safety tests. Product specific test
descriptions are described in the following sections.
Connect the detachable power cord of the device under test to the safety analyzer's test mains port.
Connect the enclosure test lead of the safety analyzer to the enclosure of the device under test, e.g. to
the equipotential connector or unearthed conductive accessible parts where applicable during
Equipment Leakage Current Tests and Applied Part Leakage Current Tests. For testing the applied
part leakage current, connect all applied parts to the safety analyzer using the appropriate patient lead
or adapter cable. For the ECG parameter all ten ECG-leads need to be connected to the safety
analyzer. If necessary, use an adapter cable to connect all ten ECG-leads. If necessary, repeat the safety
test procedure until all available applied parts have been tested. Refer to the documentation that
accompanies the safety analyzer for further details on how to set up and perform the test.
Protective Earth Resistance Test - Setup Example
NOTE
The test lead needs to go to parts that require protective earthing. This may be a single connection or
several tested after each other
Equipment Leakage Current Test - Setup Example
NOTE
The test lead needs to go to the grounded enclosure parts, the ungrounded enclosure parts and all of
the applied parts connected together.

Safety Test Adapter Cable - Schematics
The following graphics provide schematics of safety test (patient lead) adapter cables which can be
used for electrical safety testing. These schematics can also be used as a guideline for making your own
safety test adapter cables. Alternatively, other methods to make safety test adapter cables can be used,
e.g. using a modified accessory cable.

In case of an IT-power system, this safety test measurement requires a special measuring circuit, for
example with its own integrated TN-system or use of an external isolation transformer attached to the
safety test device.
S(4): Applied Part Leakage Current - Mains on Applied Part
NOTE
During measurement of the Applied Part Leakage Current it is possible that the measured current can
exceed the allowed limit (per IEC/EN 60601-1 or IEC/EN 62353).
This can occur when the safety tester is connected to the invasive blood pressure and temperature
connectors at the same time during the applied leakage current measurement.
The connectors for the invasive blood pressure and temperature are independently functioning
connectors.
Although there are individual connectors on the front end, internally those parameters use the same
electrical insulation interface and are hardwired to each other. This results in an electrical short of
those connectors during measurement if a test current is applied simultaneously. Therefore this should
be avoided.
Due to the combined insulation interface, it is sufficient to connect to only one parameter interface
(that is, Invasive Blood Pressure or Temperature) of the invasive blood pressure/temperature
measurement block. This avoids a short and the potential of exceeding the limit for the current.

What is a Medical Electrical System?
A medical electrical system is a combination of at least one medical electrical piece of equipment and
other electrical equipment, interconnected by functional connection or use of a multiple portable
socket-outlet.
•Devices forming a medical electrical system must comply either with IEC/EN 60601-1-1 or IEC/
EN 60601-1+A1 Ed.3 clause 16.
•Any electrical device such as IT equipment that is connected to the medical electrical equipment
must comply either with IEC/EN 60601-1-1 or IEC/EN 60601-1+A1 Ed.3 clause 16 and be
tested accordingly.
•Non-medical electrical equipment may require connection through a separating device (e.g. an
isolation transformer).
General Requirements for a System
After installation or subsequent modification, a system must comply with the requirements of the
system standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1 or IEC/EN 60601-1+A1 Ed.3 clause 16. Compliance is checked
by inspection, testing or analysis, as specified in the IEC/EN 60601-1-1 or in this book.
Medical electrical equipment must comply with the requirements of the general standard IEC/EN
60601-1, its relevant particular standards and specific national deviations. Non-medical electrical
equipment shall comply with IEC safety standards that are relevant to that equipment.
Relevant standards for some non-medical electrical equipment may have limits for equipment leakage
currents higher than required by the standard IEC/EN 60601-1-1 or IEC/EN 60601-1+A1 Ed.3
clause 16. These higher limits are acceptable only outside the patient environment. It is essential to
reduce equipment leakage currents to values specified in IEC/EN 60601-1 when non-medical
electrical equipment is to be used within the patient environment.
52
System Example
This illustration shows a system where both the medical electrical equipment and the non-medical
electrical equipment are situated at the patient’s bedside.
3 Testing and Maintenance
WARNING
•Do not use additional AC mains extension cords or multiple portable socket-outlets. If a multiple
portable socket-outlet is used, the resulting system must be compliant with IEC/EN 60601-1-1 or
IEC/EN 60601-1+A1 Ed.3 clause 16. Do not place multiple socket-outlets on the floor. Do not
exceed the maximum permitted load for multiple socket-outlets used with the system. Do not plug
additional multiple socket outlets or extension cords into multiple socket outlets or extension
cords used within the medical electrical system.
•Do not connect any devices that are not supported as part of a system.
•Do not use a device in the patient vicinity if it does not comply with IEC/EN 60601-1 or IEC
60601-1 edition 3 clause 16. The whole installation, including devices outside of the patient
vicinity, must comply with IEC/EN 60601-1-1 or IEC/EN 60601-1+A1 Ed.3 clause 16. Any nonmedical device placed and operated in the patient’s vicinity must be powered via a separating
transformer (compliant with IEC/EN 60601-1-1 or IEC/EN 60601-1+A1 Ed.3 clause 16) that
ensures mechanical fixing of the power cords and covering of any unused power outlets.
System Installation Requirements
•Ensure that the medical electrical system is installed in a way that the user achieves optimal use.
•Make sure the user is informed about the required cleaning, adjustment, sterilization and
disinfection procedures listed in the Instructions for Use.
•The medical electrical system must be installed in such a way that the user is able to carry out the
necessary cleaning, adjustment, sterilization and disinfection procedures listed in the Instructions
for Use.
53
3 Testing and Maintenance
•Ensure that the medical electrical system is installed in a way that an interruption and restoration
of power to any part of the medical electrical system does not result in a safety hazard.
•We recommend using fixed mains socket outlets to power the medical system or parts thereof.
Avoid using multiple portable socket-outlets.
•Any multiple portable socket outlets used must be compliant with IEC 60884-1 and IEC/EN
60601-1-1 or IEC/EN 60601-1+A1 Ed.3 clause 16.
•Ensure that any part of the system connected to multiple portable socket-outlets is only removable
with a tool, i.e. the multiple portable socket-outlet provides a locking mechanism to prevent power
cords from being plugged or unplugged unintentionally. Otherwise, the multiple portable socketoutlet must be connected to a separation device. Multiple Socket Outlets used within the medical
electrical system must only be used for powering medical electrical equipment which is part of the
system.
•Ensure that any functional connections between parts of the medical electrical system are isolated
by a separation device according to IEC/EN 60601-1-1 or IEC/EN 60601-1+A1 Ed.3 clause 16
to limit increased equipment leakage currents caused by current flow through the signal
connections where necessary (e.g. leakage current coming from non-medical electrical equipment
into medical electrical equipment or building ground voltage differences providing leakage current
through grounded data cables). This only works if the equipment leakage current of the respective
medical electrical system parts is not exceeded under normal conditions. This isolation is especially
important where the non-medical electrical equipment leakage currents can pass to the medical
electrical equipment in the system or building ground voltage differences can pass to the medical
electrical equipment via ground in a data cable connection in the system
•Avoid increase of equipment leakage currents when non-medical electrical equipment within the
medical electrical system is used. This only applies when if the equipment leakage current of the
respective medical electrical system parts is not exceeded under normal conditions. Use of an
additional protective earth connection, separation device or additional non-conductive enclosures
are options that can prevent a problem.
•Within the patient environment it is important to limit electrical potential differences between
different parts of a system. If necessary, use potential equalization equipment (equipotential cable)
or additional protective earth connections.
•Medical electrical equipment used in medical rooms must be connected to potential equalization
equipment (equipotential cable) to avoid electrical potential differences. Check your local
requirements for details.
Required Protective Measures at System Installation
For any IT equipment (IEC60950-1) operated in the patient environment ensure that the equipment
leakage current does not exceed the limits described in IEC 60601-1. Use a separation device to ensure
compliance. After installation of IT equipment in the patient environment, an equipment leakage
current test is required.

System Test Procedure
If the medical electrical device has already been tested as a standalone device e.g. during factory safety
testing, an equipment leakage current test must only be performed once the device is connected to
another electrical device/system. If the medical electrical system has not been tested as a standalone
device, the device has to be tested as a standalone device (without connection to the system) and as
part of the system (with connection to the system).
Connect the detachable power cord of the device under test to the safety analyzer's test mains port.
Connect the enclosure test lead of the safety analyzer to the enclosure of the device under test as
described in the "Equipment Leakage Test" section . Refer to the documentation that accompanies the
safety analyzer for further details on how to set up the test.

Nellcor OxiMax Technology
Accuracy specifications are based on controlled hypoxia studies with healthy non-smoking adult
volunteers over the specified saturation SpO2 range(s). Pulse oximeter SpO2 readings were compared
to SaO2 values of drawn blood samples measured by hemoximetry. All accuracies are expressed as ±
"X" digits. Pulse oximeter equipment measurements are statistically distributed; about two-thirds of
pulse oximeter measurements can be expected to fall in this accuracy (ARMS) range. Because scatter
and bias of pulse oximeter SpO2 and blood SaO2 comparisons commonly increase as the saturation
decreases, and accuracy specifications are calculated from data spanning the stated range, different
accuracy values may result when describing partially overlapping ranges.
65
3 Testing and Maintenance
Subjects used to validate SpO2 measurement accuracies were healthy and recruited from the local
population. Comprised of both men and women, subjects spanned a range of skin pigmentations and
ranged in age from 18-50 years old.
Oxygen saturation accuracy can be affected by certain environmental, equipment, and patient
physiologic conditions (as discussed in the Instructions for Use for the monitor) that influence
readings of SpO2, SaO2, or both. Accordingly, observations of clinical accuracy may not achieve the
same levels as those obtained under controlled laboratory conditions.
Pulse rate accuracy has been validated with an electronic pulse simulator.
Masimo SET SpO2 Technology
The SpO2 accuracy (except for LNOP Blue sensors) has been validated in human studies against
arterial blood sample reference measured with a CO-oximeter. In a controlled desaturation study,
healthy adult volunteers with saturation levels between 70% and 100% SpO2 were studied.
The population characteristics for those studies were:
•healthy female subjects: 22 to 39 years of age; light to dark skin pigmentation
•healthy male subjects: 19 to 37 years of age; light to dark skin pigmentation
The LNOP Blue SpO2 accuracy has been validated in human blood studies on neonatal, infant and
pediatric patients with congenital cyanotic cardiac lesions in the range of 60%-100% SpO2 against a
laboratory CO-oximeter.
The population characteristics for those studies were:
•female patients: 5 days to 20 months of age; light and dark skin pigmentation
•male patients: 1 day to 13 months of age; light and dark skin pigmentation
Pulse rate accuracy has been validated with an electronic pulse simulator or ECG as reference.

•NBP Leakage Test
•NBP Linearity Test
•Valve Test
NBP Accuracy Test and Calibration
This test checks the performance of the non-invasive blood pressure measurement. Connect the
equipment as shown:
66
3 Testing and Maintenance
Tools required:
•Reference manometer (includes hand pump and valve), accuracy +/-0.8mmHg.
•Expansion chamber (volume 250 ml +/- 10%)
•Appropriate tubing.
In service mode, the systolic and diastolic readings indicate the noise of NBP channels 1 and 2
respectively. When static pressure is applied, the reading in NBP channel 1 should be below 50. The
value in parentheses indicates the actual pressure applied to the system.
1Connect the manometer and the pump with tubing to the NBP connector on the MMS and to the
expansion chamber.
2In service mode, select the Setup NBP menu.
3Select Close Valves: On
4Raise the pressure to 280 mmHg with the manometer pump.
5Wait 10 seconds for the measurement to stabilize.
6Compare the manometer values with the displayed values.
7Document the value displayed by the monitor (x1).
8If the difference between the manometer and displayed values is greater than 3 mmHg or if the
NBP pump assembly has been exchanged, calibrate the MMS. If not, proceed to the leakage test.
9To calibrate the MMS, select Close Valves off then Calibrate NBP and wait for the instrument to
pump up the expansion chamber.Wait a few seconds after pumping stops until
highlighted and then move the cursor to the value shown on the manometer. If one of the
following prompt messages appears during this step, check whether there is leakage in the setup:
–NBP unable to calibrate–cannot adjust pressure
–NBP unable to calibrate–unstable signal
10 Press Confirm.
If the INOP NBP Equipment Malfunction message occurs in monitoring mode, go back to service
mode and repeat the calibration procedure.

Calculate and document the leakage test value (x2).
x2 = P1 - P2
where P1 is the pressure at the beginning of the leakage test and P2 is the pressure displayed after
60 seconds.
The leakage test value should be less than 6 mmHg.
NOTE
The leakage test value of 6 mmHg applies for an expansion chamber of 250ml. When using a different
size of expansion chamber, the expected test result needs to be adapted accordingly. E.g for an
expansion chamber of 500ml, the leakage test value should be less than 3 mmHg. All other NBP
performance tests are independent of the expansion chamber size.
NBP Linearity Test

Barometric Pressure Check and Calibration
NOTE
The M3015A with HW Rev C and the M3015B do not require calibration of the barometric pressure.
Therefore you will not be able to activate a barometric pressure calibration. If you are using a HW Rev
C M3015A or M3015B, perform the barometric pressure check as described below, making sure that
only a sample line is connected to the MMS Extension. If the pressure check fails, the M3015A/B
needs to be exchanged.
Check the barometric pressure value in the M3015A/B MMS Extension or the MP5 as follows:

Reporting of Test Results
Philips recommends all test results are documented in accordance with local laws. Authorized Philips
personnel report the test result back to Philips. While hospital personnel (biomedical engineers or
technicians) do not need to report results to Philips, Philips recommends that they record and store the
test results in accordance with local laws.
The following table lists what to record after completing the tests in this chapter. Record the results in
the empty column in the Test and Inspection Matrix.
The following is a guide as to what your documentation should include:
•Identification of the testing body (for example, which company or department carried out the
tests).

Battery Handling, Maintenance and Good
Practices
This section provides some information on how to handle and maintain the battery in order to get the
best usage from it. Additionally, some good working practices are also given regarding the correct
disposal of the batteries.

Battery care begins when you receive a new battery and continues throughout the life of the battery.
The table below lists battery care activities and when they should be performed.
ActivityWhen to Perform

3 Testing and Maintenance
Handling Precautions
Lithium ion batteries store a large amount of energy in a small package.Use caution when handling the
batteries; misuse or abuse could cause bodily injury and/or property damage.
•Do not short circuit - take care that the terminals do not contact metal or other conductive
materials during transport and storage
•Do not crush, drop or puncture - mechanical abuse can lead to internal damage and internal short
circuits which may not be visible externally
•Do not apply reverse polarity
•Do not expose batteries to liquids
•Do not incinerate batteries or expose them to temperatures above 60°C (140°F)
•Do not attempt to disassemble a battery.
If a battery has been dropped or banged against a hard surface, whether damage is visible externally or
not:
•discontinue use
•dispose of the battery in accordance with the disposal instructions
If a battery shows damage or signs of leakage, replace it immediately. Do not use a faulty
battery in the monitor.
Storage
When storing batteries, make sure that the battery terminals do not come into contact with metallic
objects, or other conductive materials.
If batteries are stored for an extended period of time, they should be stored in a cool place, ideally at
15°C (60°F), with a state of charge of 20% to 40%. Storing batteries in a cool place slows the aging
process.
The batteries should not be stored at a temperature outside the range of -20°C (-4°F) to 60°C (140°F).
Do not store batteries in direct sunlight.
Stored batteries should be partially charged to 20% to 40% of their capacity every 6 months. They
should be charged to full capacity prior to use.
NOTE
Storing batteries at temperatures above 38°C (100°F) for extended periods of time could significantly
reduce the batteries’ 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 3 years or 500 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 3 years or 500 charge-discharge cycles.
96
The age of a lithium ion battery begins at the date of manufacture. To see the date of manufacture and
the number of charge-discharge cycles, select the battery symbol on the patient monitor screen.
The date of manufacture and the number of charge-discharge cycles are listed with other battery data
on the screen.
WARNING
The risk of battery failure increases with age, when a battery remains in use longer than 3 years or 500
charge-discharge cycles. Such failures can result in overheating that in rare cases can cause the battery
to ignite or explode.
Disposal
Batteries should be disposed of in an environmentally-responsible manner. Consult the hospital
administrator or your local Philips representative for local arrangements.
Discharge the batteries and insulate the terminals with tape before disposal. Dispose of used batteries
promptly and in accordance with local recycling regulations.
About the Battery
The rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries used in the monitor are regarded as Smart batteries because
they have built-in circuitry. (This circuitry communicates battery status information to the monitor.)
Actual current/voltage: depends on smart battery request and monitor configuration. The approximate
charging time is 3 hours with the monitor switched off and up to 5 hours during monitor operation,
depending on the monitor configuration.
3 Testing and Maintenance
NOTE
Batteries will discharge within about 20 days if they are stored inside the monitor without AC power
connection.
Checking the Battery Status
When the Monitor is connected to the AC power supply, the battery charges automatically. The battery
can be charged remotely from the Monitor by using the battery charger. Use only the 865432 Smart
battery conditioner.
Battery status (level of charge) is indicated in several ways:
•LED on the front panel of the Monitor.
•Battery gauge.
•Display of battery time below gauge.
•Battery status window.
•INOP messages.
The AC Power LED is only on when the power cord is connected and AC power is available to the
Monitor. In this case, the battery can be either charging or fully charged.
The battery LED can be green, yellow, or red depending on the following conditions:
Battery LED ColorsIf the monitor is connected to
AC power, this means

Battery Status on the Main Screen
Battery status information can be configured to display permanently on all Screens. It shows the status
of the battery and the battery power and battery time remaining. The battery time is only displayed
when the monitor is not running on AC power. Note that the battery status information may take a
few minutes after the monitor is switched on to stabilize and show correct values.
If the monitor is running on
battery power, this means
≤ 10 minutes power remaining
not enough battery power left to
power monitor
Battery power gauge:
This shows the remaining battery power. It is divided into sections, each representing 20% of the total
power. If three and a half sections are shaded, as in this example, this indicates that 70% battery power
remains. If no battery is detected, the battery gauge is greyed out.
Battery malfunction symbols:
If a problem is detected with the battery, these symbols are displayed. They may be accompanied by an
INOP message or by a battery status message in the monitor information line (if battery window is
open) providing more details.
Battery Status Symbols
Battery requires maintenance
Battery is empty
Battery not charging as the temperature is above or below the specified range
Charging stopped to protect the battery

Battery Malfunction Symbols
Incompatible Battery
3 Testing and Maintenance
Battery Malfunction
Battery temperature too high
Battery has no power left
Explanations of Battery Status and Malfunction Symbols:
Battery requires maintenance: The battery requires conditioning. Refer to “Conditioning Batteries” for
details.
Battery is empty: The capacity of the battery is ≤10 min. Recharge the battery as soon as possible.
Temperature outside specified range: The charging of the battery is stopped if the temperature is below 15°C
or above 50°C in order to protect the battery. Charging is resumed as soon as the temperature is within
this range.
Incompatible Battery: The inserted battery is checked for certain battery internal parameters. If these are
not correct, the incompatible battery symbol is displayed. Please use only M4605A batteries with the
MX400/450/500/550 monitor. Note that the incompatible battery symbol may also appear if there is
a communication problem between the battery and the Standard System Interface board.
Battery Malfunction:Communication between the battery and the Standard System Interface board could
not be established or battery internal data indicates malfunction. Please see the “Troubleshooting”
section for remedies.
Battery Temperature too high: This symbol is displayed if the battery temperature goes above 65°C. In
addition the INOP message CHECK BATT TEMP is displayed. If the battery temperature increases
further above 70°C the batteries will switch off for safety reasons. Allow the battery to cool down to
avoid the monitor switching off.
Battery has no power left: If the monitor is not running on AC power: battery will switch off power
delivery at any moment - in this case recharge the battery immediately - or, if the monitor is running on
AC power, the battery is in deep discharge and requires pre-charging to restore communication. To
avoid this condition charge batteries to 50% for storage. Note that the battery malfunction INOP will
eventually be issued if the pre-charging does not restore battery communication within about 4
minutes.

Conditioning a Battery
What is Battery Conditioning?
Battery conditioning recalibrates the battery to ensure that it has accurate information on the actual
battery capacity.
Why is Battery Conditioning Necessary?
The capacity of a battery decreases gradually over the lifetime of a battery. Each time a battery is
charged its capacity decreases slightly. Therefore, the operating time of a monitor running on batteries
also decreases with each charge cycle.
Battery Full (>90%) is
Batt Fully Charged is displayed.
