1Basic Operation

These Instructions for Use are for clinical professionals using the IntelliVue MP20/MP30 (M8001A/ M8002A), MP40/50 (M8003A/M8004A) and MP60/70/80/90 (M8005A/M8007A/M8008A/ M8010A) patient monitors.Unless otherwise specified, the information here is valid for all the above IntelliVue patient monitors.
The basic operation section gives you an overview of the monitor and its functions. It tells you how to perform tasks that are common to all measurements (such as entering data, switching a measurement on and off, setting up and adjusting wave speeds, working with profiles). The alarms section gives an overview of alarms. The remaining sections tell you how to perform individual measurements, and how to care for and maintain the equipment.
Familiarize yourself with all instructions including warnings and cautions before starting to monitor patients. Read and keep the Instructions for Use that come with any accessories, as these contain important information about care and cleaning that is not repeated in this book.
This guide describes all features and options. Your monitor may not have all of them; they are not all available in all geographies. Your monitor is highly configurable. What you see on the screen, how the menus appear and so forth, depends on the way it has been tailored for your hospital and may not be exactly as shown here.
In this guide:
•A warning alerts you to a potential serious outcome, adverse event or safety hazard. Failure to
observe a warning may result in death or serious injury to the user or patient.
•A caution alerts you to where special care is necessary for the safe and effective use of the product.
Failure to observe a caution may result in minor or moderate personal injury or damage to the product or other property, and possibly in a remote risk of more serious injury.
Monitor refers to the entire patient monitor. Display refers to the physical display unit. Display Screen and Screen refer to everything you see on monitor’s display, such as measurements, alarms, patient data and so forth.
Introducing the IntelliVue Family
The Philips IntelliVue family of patient monitors offers a monitoring solution optimized for the surgical, cardiac, medical and neonatal care environments. Combining patient surveillance and data management, it allows multi-measurement monitoring by linking separate modules with “plug-and­play” convenience.

Your monitor stores data in trend, event, and calculation databases. You can see tabular trends (vital signs) and document them on a local or remote printer. You can view measurement trend graphs, with up to three measurements combined in each graph, to help you identify changes in the patient’s physiological condition. You can view fast-changing measurement trends with beat to beat resolution and see up to four high resolution trend segments. Event surveillance enhances documentation and review of physiologically significant events by automatically detecting and storing up to 50 user­defined clinical events over a 24 hour period.
There is a choice of monitor configurations, as explained below. All models can also use computer devices such as a mouse, a trackball and a keyboard.
IntelliVue MP20/MP20
The IntelliVue MP20/MP20Junior/MP30 (M8001A/ M8002A) patient monitor has a 10-inch TFT LCD flat panel SVGA display. The standard input devices for the MP30 are the Touchscreen and integrated navigation point; the MP20 is supplied with an integrated navigation point only.

• Invasive blood pressure (M1006B)
• Temperature (M1029A)
• Oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO
) (M1020B)
2
• Cardiac output (M1012A), and Continuous cardiac output with M1012A Option #C10
• Transcutaneous gas (M1018A)
• Mixed venous oxygen saturation - SvO

Operating Modes
When you switch the monitor on, it starts up in monitoring mode. To change to a different mode:
1 Select the Main Setup menu.
2 Select Operating Modes and choose the mode you require.
Your monitor has four operating modes. Some are passcode protected.
Monitoring Mode: This is the normal, every day working mode that you use for monitoring patients. You can change elements such as alarm limits, patient category and so forth. When you discharge the patient, these elements return to their default values. Changes can be stored permanently only in Configuration Mode. You may see items, such as some menu options or the altitude setting, that are visible but ‘grayed out’ so that you can neither select nor change them. These are for your information and can be changed only in Configuration Mode.
Demonstration Mode: Passcode protected, this is for demonstration purposes only. You must not change into Demonstration Mode during monitoring. In Demonstration Mode, all stored trend information is deleted from the monitor’s memory.
Configuration Mode: Passcode protected, this mode is for personnel trained in configuration tasks. These tasks are described in the Configuration Guide. During installation the monitor is configured for use in your environment. This configuration defines the default settings you work with when you switch on, the number of waves you see and so forth.
Service Mode: Passcode protected, this is for trained service personnel.
When the monitor is in Demonstration Mode, Configuration Mode, or Service Mode, this is indicated by a box with the mode name in the center of the Screen and in the bottom right-hand corner. Select this field to change to a different mode.
Standby Mode
Standby mode can be used when you want to temporarily interrupt monitoring.
To e n t e r Stan d y m o de ,
select Main Setup, followed by Monitor Standby.
The monitor enters Standby mode automatically after the End Case function is used to discharge a patient.
Standby suspends patient monitoring. All waves and numerics disappear from the display but all settings and patient data information are retained. A special Standby screen is displayed. If a patient location is entered at the Information Center, this will also be displayed on the Standby screen (availability depends on Information Center revision).

1 Basic Operation Understanding Screens
Understanding Screens
Your monitor comes with a set of preconfigured Screens, optimized for common monitoring scenarios such as OR adult, or ICU neonatal. A Screen defines the overall selection, size and position of waves, numerics and SmartKeys on the monitor screen when you switch on. You can easily switch between different Screens during monitoring. Screens do NOT affect alarm settings, patient category and so forth.
When you switch from a complex to a less complex Screen layout, some measurements may not be visible but are still monitored in the background. If you switch to a more complex Screen with, for example, four invasive pressure waves but you have only two pressures connected to the monitor, the “missing” two pressures are either left blank or the available space is filled by another measurement.
Switching to a Different Screen
1 To switch to a different Screen, select the current Screen name in the monitor info line,
or select the Change Screen SmartKey.
2 Choose the new Screen from the pop-up list.
Changing a Screen’s Content
If you do not want to change the entire Screen content, but only some parts of it, you can substitute individual waves, numerics, high-res waves, or trends. Be aware that these changes cannot be stored permanently in Monitoring Mode.
To change the selection of elements on a Screen,
1 Select the element you want to change.
2 From the menu that appears, select Change Wave, Change Numeric, or
Change HiResTrend, and then select the wave or numeric you want, or select the high­resolution trend wave you want from the list of available waves.
If you do not see Change Numeric in the menu, this Screen may be configured to always display the numeric beside its wave. Changing the wave will automatically change the numeric.
The changed Screen is shown with an asterisk in the monitor info line.

Using a Second Display 1 Basic Operation
In the Change Screen menu, the changed Screen is shown linked to the original Screen and marked with an asterisk.
Up to three modified Screens can be accessed via the Change Screen menu.
To recall Screens, either
select the name of the Screen in the
Change Screen menu
or
use the previous/next arrows at the top of the
Change Screen menu to move back and forth in the Screen history. The ten most recently-used Screens including up to three modified Screens can be accessed.
After a patient discharge, the monitor’s default Screen is shown. Modified Screens are still available in the Change Screen menu.
If the monitor is switched off and then on again, modified Screens are erased from the monitor’s memory and cannot be recalled. If a modified Screen was the last active Screen when the monitor was switched off, it is retained (unless Automat. Default is configured to Yes).

Using a Second Display
A second display, showing the same Screen as the main display, can be connected to any of the monitors, for viewing only.
A second display showing a different Screen can be connected to the MP90. The second display can also be operated using standard input devices. There are two separate modes of operation depending on whether one person is operating both displays or each display has its own operator. This is set in the monitor’s Service Mode. In Service Mode you can also define which display you want windows to appear on, when the setup keys on the modules are pressed or when a window is automatically opened.
The content of each Screen can be changed individually as described in the previous section. If you are operating two displays, you can choose Screens for both displays from one location:
1 Select Profiles in the monitor info line of the first display,
2 Select Display 1, then select the Screen you want to display on the first display from the list of
available Screens.
3 Select Display 2, then select the Screen you want to display on the second display from the list
of available Screens.
The second display Screen may take a few seconds to load.
Using the Visitor Screen
If a visitor Screen is configured for your monitor, you can use it to clear the screen of all waves and numerics but continue to monitor the patient with active alarms and trend storage at the bedside and Information Center. You can change the name of the visitor Screen in Configuration Mode.
21
Page 40
1 Basic Operation Understanding Profiles
To activate this Screen, select the Screen name in the monitor info line to open the Screen
menu, then select the name of the visitor Screen configured for your monitor from the list of available Screens.
Select any element on the Screen to open the Screen menu and select a different Screen to show
waves and numerics again.
Understanding Profiles
Profiles are predefined monitor configurations. They let you change the configuration of the whole monitor so you can adapt it to different monitoring situations. The changes that occur when you change a complete profile are more far reaching than those made when you change a Screen. Screens affect only what is shown on the display. Profiles affect all monitor and measurement settings.
The settings that are defined by Profiles are grouped into three categories. Each category offers a choice of ‘settings blocks’ customized for specific monitoring situations. These categories are:
• Display (screens)
– Each profile can have a choice of many different predefined screens. If you are using a second
display, each display can have its own individual screen selection. When you change the profile, the screen selection configured for the new profile becomes active.
• Monitor Settings
– Each profile can have a choice of different predefined monitor settings. These relate to the
monitor as a whole; for example, display brightness, alarms off/paused, alarm volume, QRS tone volume, tone modulation, prompt tone volume, wave speed, resp wave speed, pulse source.
• Measurement Settings
– Each profile can have a choice of different predefined measurement settings. These relate directly
to individual measurements, for example, measurement on/off, measurement color, alarms limits, NBP alarm source, NBP repeat time, temperature unit (

Understanding Profiles 1 Basic Operation
You can change from one complete profile to another or swap individual settings blocks (display screen/monitor settings/measurement settings) to change a subset of a profile. Changes you make to any element within the settings blocks are not saved when you discharge the patient, unless you save them in Configuration Mode.
You might find it helpful to think of the three categories in terms of a restaurant menu. The Screens are like the first course, offering you a choice of “starters” (many different screen configurations from which you can choose the one that best suits your requirements). The Monitor Settings category is like the main course, offering a choice of different “main dishes” from which you can pick one. The Measurement Settings are like the dessert course. From these you build your meal. You can choose one from the “starters”, one from the main course, then one from the dessert or simply pick one or two courses without having a full meal.
Depending on your monitor configuration, when you switch on or discharge a patient the monitor either continues with the previous profile, or resets to the default profile configured for that monitor.
WARNING If you switch to a different profile, the patient category and paced status normally change to the setting
specified in the new profile. However some profiles may be setup to leave the patient category and paced status unchanged. Always check the patient category, paced status, and all alarms and settings, when you change profiles.
When you leave Demonstration Mode, the monitor uses the default profile.
Swapping a Complete Profile
1 Select Profiles in the monitor info line, or select the Profiles Smartkey.
2 In the Profiles menu, select Profile.
3 Chose a profile from the pop-up list.
4 Confirm your selection.
Swapping a Settings Block

to call up a list of the settings blocks in each category.
Default Profile
Your monitor has a default profile that it uses when you leave Demonstration, or Service modes, or when you discharge a patient. This profile is indicated by a diamond .
Locked Profiles
Some profiles are locked, so that you cannot change them, even in Configuration Mode. These are indicated by this lock symbol.

1 Basic Operation Understanding Settings
Understanding Settings
Each aspect of how the monitor works and looks is defined by a setting. There are a number of different categories of settings, including,
Screen Settings, to define the selection and appearance of elements on each individual Screen
Measurement settings, to define settings unique to each measurement, for example, high and low
alarm limits
Monitor settings, including settings that affect more than one measurement or Screen and define general aspects of how the monitor works, for example, alarm volume, reports and recordings, and display brightness.
You must be aware that, although many settings can be changed in Monitoring Mode, permanent changes to settings can only be done in the monitor’s Configuration Mode. All settings are reset to the stored defaults:
• when you discharge a patient
•when you load a Profile
• when the monitor is switched off for more than one minute (if Automat. Default is set to Yes).
Changing Measurement Settings
Each measurement has a setup menu in which you can adjust all of its settings. You can enter a setup menu:
• via the measurement numeric - select the measurement numeric to enter its setup menu. For example, to enter the
• via the Setup hardkey (on plug-in modules) - press the Setup hardkey on the module front.
•via the Main Setup SmartKey - if you want to setup a measurement when the measurement is switched off, use the Main Setup SmartKey and select Measurements. Then select the measurement name from the popup list. With this SmartKey you can access any setup menu in the monitor.
• via the Measurement Selection key.
This guide always describes the entry method using the setup menu. But you can use any method you prefer.
Setup ECG menu, select the HR (heart rate) numeric.
Switching a Measurement On and Off
When a measurement is off, its waves and numerics are removed from the monitor’s screen. The monitor stops data acquisition and alarming for this measurement. A measurement automatically switches off if you disconnect its module or measurement server. If you disconnect a transducer, the monitor replaces the measurement numeric with question marks.
1 Enter the measurement’s setup menu and select the measurement.

Changing Wave Speeds
Lowering the wave speed compresses the wave and lets you view a longer time period. Increasing the speed expands the waveform, giving you a more detailed view.
The monitor distinguishes three groups of wave speed settings,
RespiratorySpeed, for all respiratory waves: CO
EEG Speed, for all EEG and BIS waves
Global Speed, for all waves not included in the other two groups.
Changing the Wave Group Speed
The wave speed group setting defines the speed of all the waves in the group.
To change the wave speed of a wave speed group,
1 Select Main Setup -> User Interface
2 Select Global Speed, RespiratorySpeed, or EEG Speed as required
3 Select a value from the list of available speeds.

Using Labels 1 Basic Operation
Releasing Frozen Waves
To release frozen waves,
1 Select a frozen wave.
2 Select Unfreeze Waves.
All frozen waves are released.
Using Labels
You can measure multiple invasive pressures, temperatures, and SpO2 simultaneously. The monitor uses labels to distinguish between them. The default settings defined in the profile (such as measurement color, wave scale, and alarm settings) are stored within each label. When you assign a label to a measurement, the monitor automatically applies these default settings to the measurement. The labels assigned are used throughout the monitor, in reports, recordings, and in trends.
About Label Sets
Your monitor may be configured to use a Restricted or Full label set. The Full label set provides extra labels for Pressure and Temp. See the sections in this Instructions for Use on Pressure and Temp for more information.
If you connect a measurement server from a monitor using a Full label set to an IntelliVue monitor using a Restricted label set or an M3/M4 monitor, any additional labels switch to labels available in the target monitor. This may cause a label conflict with other monitored measurements.
Be aware that connecting a monitor using the Full label set to an Information Center with certain software revisions may affect the availability of measurement information from the additional labels on the Information Center. See the Information Center documentation and your monitor’s Configuration Guide for information on label set compatibility.
Changing Measurement Labels (e.g. Pressure)
To change a measurement label of a measurement with multiple labels (invasive pressure, temperature, or SpO
1 Enter the Wave menu of the measurement.
2 Select Label.
3 Choose a label from the list.
The monitor automatically applies the scale, color, etc. settings stored in the Profile for the label you select. You can change scale settings in Monitoring Mode, but color can only be changed in the monitor’s Configuration Mode.
Any labels already being used in the monitor are shown “grayed-out” in the list and cannot be selected.
Give me an example Let’s imagine you used a Press module to monitor your previous patient’s CVP. Now you want to use the same module to measure ABP with a new patient. You’ve set up your arterial line. When you connect the pressure transducer to the module, the pressure shown on the screen still uses the CVP color and wave scale and is labeled CVP. To rectify this, just change the pressure label to ABP. Now the pressure has the correct color, the wave is shown in the correct scale, and the appropriate alarm limits for ABP are active.

1 Basic Operation Using Labels
Resolving Label Conflicts
Each label must be unique, that is, it can only be assigned once. You cannot monitor two pressures labelled “ICP” at the same time. If you need to use two identical pressures, you must assign different labels to them, for example, P and ICP.
Measurement labels are stored in the measurement device (module or measurement server). If you try to use two measurement devices that have identical labels, this causes a label conflict in the monitor.
Depending on your configuration, the monitor will either
• resolve the conflict automatically, by assigning a new, generic label to the most recently connected conflicting label (e.g. a second FAP label could be changed to ABP)
•display the Measurement Selection window automatically for you to resolve the conflict
• take no action, you must enter the Measurement Selection window and resolve the conflict
All the currently available measurement devices are depicted in the Measurement Selection window. Any measurement labels causing a label conflict are shown in red. If a measurement device is connected but currently unavailable, for example, because it was deactivated due to a label conflict, the device is shown “grayed-out”.

3Alarms

The alarm information here applies to all measurements. Measurement-specific alarm information is discussed in the sections on individual measurements.
The monitor has three alarm levels: red, yellow, and INOP.
Red and yellow alarms are patient alarms. A red alarm indicates a high priority patient alarm such as a potentially life threatening situation (for example, asystole). A yellow alarm indicates a lower priority patient alarm (for example, a respiration alarm limit violation). Yellow arrhythmia alarms are specific to arrhythmia-related patient conditions (for example, ventricular bigeminy).
INOPs are technical alarms, they indicate that the monitor cannot measure or detect alarm conditions reliably. If an INOP interrupts monitoring and alarm detection (for example, LEADS OFF), the monitor places a question mark in place of the measurement numeric and an audible indicator tone will be sounded. INOPs without this audible indicator indicate that there may a problem with the reliability of the data, but that monitoring is not interrupted.
Alarms are indicated after the alarm delay time. This is made up of the system delay time plus the trigger delay time for the individual measurement. See the specifications section for details.
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 monitor sounds an audible indicator for the highest priority alarm. If more than one alarm condition is active in the same measurement, the monitor announces the most severe. Your monitor may be configured to increase alarm indicator volume automatically during the time when the alarm is not acknowledged.
** HR HIGH

3Alarms Visual Alarm Indicators
Visual Alarm Indicators
Alarm message: An alarm message text appears in the alarm status area at the top of the screen indicating the source of the alarm. If more than one measurement is in an alarm condition, the message changes every two seconds, and has an arrow ( ) at the side. The background color of the alarm message matches the alarm priority: red for red alarms, yellow for yellow alarms, and light blue for INOPs. The asterisk symbols (*) beside the alarm message match the alarm priority: *** for red alarms, ** for yellow alarms, * for yellow arrhythmia alarms. INOPs are displayed without asterisks.
Depending on how your monitor is configured, it may display alarm limit violation messages
• in text form, for example “**SpO2 LOW” or
• in numeric form, for example “**SpO2 94<96”, where the first number shows the maximum deviation from the alarm limit, and the second number shows the currently set limit.
Flashing numeric: The numeric of the measurement in alarm flashes.
Bright alarm limits: If the alarm was triggered by an alarm limit violation, the corresponding alarm
limit on the monitor screen is shown more brightly.
Alarm lamp: A lamp on the monitor’s front panel flashes. This has the same color as the alarm priority.
Nurse call systems: Alarm conditions are indicated on any device connected to the nurse call relay, if configured to do so.
Audible Alarm Indicators
The audible alarm indicators configured for your monitor depend on which alarm standard applies in your hospital. 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).
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.
Alarm Tone Configuration
The audible alarm indicators of your monitor are configurable. In the monitor’s Configuration Mode, you can:
• increase the alarm volume of unacknowledged alarms at regular intervals
• change the interval between alarm sounds (ISO/IEC Standard 9703-2 alarms only)
40
• change the base volume of the red and yellow alarm tones and the INOP tones
• change the alarm sound to suit the different alarm standards valid in different countries.
Page 59
Audible Alarm Indicators 3Alarms
Traditional Audible Alarms (HP/Agilent/Philips/Carenet)
• Red alarms: A high pitched sound is repeated once a second.
• Two-star yellow alarms: A lower pitched sound is repeated every two seconds.
• One-star yellow alarms (arrhythmia alarms): The audible indicator is the same as for yellow alarms, but of shorter duration.
• INOPs: an INOP tone is repeated every two seconds.
ISO/IEC Standard 9703-2 Audible Alarms
• Red alarms: A high pitched tone is repeated five times, followed by a pause.
• Two-star yellow alarms: A lower pitched tone is repeated three times, followed by a pause.
• One-star yellow alarms (arrhythmia alarms): The audible indicator is the same as for yellow alarms, but of shorter duration.
• INOPs: a lower pitched tone is repeated twice, followed by a pause.
Changing the Alarm Tone Volume
The alarm volume symbol at the top right of the monitor screen gives you an
indication of the current volume. To change the volume, select the volume symbol and then select the required volume from the pop-up selection.
If you want to see a numerical indication of the current alarm volume on a scale
from zero to 10, select the Alarm Volume SmartKey. The volume scale pops up. The current setting is indented. To change the setting, select the required number on the scale. Any settings that are inactive (“grayed out”) have been disabled in the monitor’s Configuration Mode.
When the alarm volume is set to zero (off), the alarm volume symbol reflects this. If you switch the alarm volume off, you will not get any audible indication of alarm conditions.
Minimum Volume for No Central Monitoring INOP
If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, and the connection is interrupted, the INOP message No Central Monit. will appear within 30 seconds, accompanied by an INOP tone. To help ensure that this 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 monitor alarm volume is set to zero.

3Alarms Acknowledging Alarms
Acknowledging Alarms
To acknowledge all active alarms and INOPs, select the Silence permanent key. This switches off the audible alarm indicators and alarm lamps. Alternatively, you can acknowledge alarms by pressing the Silence hardkey on the MMS or on the SpeedPoint. The hardkeys follow the behavior configured for the permanent key.
A check mark beside the alarm message indicates that the alarm has been acknowledged. If the monitor is configured to re-alarm, a dashed check mark will be shown.
Silence
If the condition that triggered the alarm is still present after the alarm has been acknowledged, the alarm message stays on the screen with a check mark symbol beside it.
If the alarm condition is no longer present, all alarm indicators stop and the alarm is reset.
Switching off the alarms for the measurement in alarm, or switching off the measurement itself, also stops alarm indication.
Acknowledging Disconnect INOPs
Acknowledging an INOP that results from a disconnected transducer switches off the associated measurement. The only exception is ECG/Resp: acknowledging a disconnect INOP for ECG leads does not switch off the ECG and Resp measurements. Acknowledging a disconnect INOP at the Information Center switches off the audible INOP indicator but does not switch off the measurement. Unplugging an MMS or a plug-in module automatically switches off its measurements.
Alarm Reminder (ReAlarm)
If Alarm Reminder is configured on for your monitor, you will get an audible reminder of alarm conditions that remain active after you have acknowledged 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). There is no alarm reminder for INOPs.
In Configuration Mode, you can set the interval between silencing the alarm and sounding the reminder tone to one, two, or three minutes.
APNEA
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 monitor configuration, alarms are paused for one, two, or three minutes, or infinitely.
To view the alarm pause setting chosen for your unit,
1 Select Main Setup -> Alarm Settings
2 Check the Alarms Off setting.
This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode.

Resetting Arrhythmia Alarm Timeouts
To reset the arrhythmia alarm timeout period, select the Alarms Off or Pause Alarms
permanent key and then reselect it.
Extending the Alarm Pause Time
If your monitor has extended alarm pause enabled, you can extend the alarm pause time. Use this to prevent alarms being indicated, for example, while you are washing a patient or carrying out a procedure. Only extend the alarm pause time when you are sure that clinical personnel are available to monitor the patient’s condition closely.
To extend the alarm pause time to five or 10 minutes,
1 Select one of the alarm fields. This calls up the Alarm Messages window.
2 Select either the pop-up key Pause Al. 5 min or the pop-up key Pause Al. 10 min.
Each time you select one of these pop-up keys, the Alarm Pause Time is reset to five (or 10) minutes.
Alarm Limits
The alarm limits you set determine the conditions that trigger yellow and red limit alarms. For some measurements (for example, BIS and SpO alarm limit to 100 switches the high alarm off, and setting the low alarm limit to 0 switches it off. In these cases, the alarms off symbol is not displayed.

About Automatic Alarm Limits (AutoLimits)
The monitor can automatically set alarm limits suited to your individual patient, using the Automatic Alarm Limits function. This tells the monitor to adapt the alarm limits of selected measurements to the measured vital signs within a defined safe limit. The monitor calculates safe AutoLimits for each patient based on the measured values from the last 12 seconds.
The defined safe limits never exceed the non-pathological range.
Limits Narrow sets limits close to the currently measured values for situations where it is critical for you to be informed about small changes in your patient’s vital signs.
Limits Wide sets limits further away from the currently measured values for situations where small changes are not so critical.
Use the keys in the Change Limits window to apply AutoLimits for individual measurements.
These keys are not available if AutoLimits have been disabled for the measurement in the monitor’s Configuration Mode.
Alarm limits
AutoLimits are not available for all measurements. The list of measurements for which AutoLimits can be used is defined in the monitor’s Configuration mode.
Use the Change Limits window to check AutoLimits before you apply them to ensure that they are appropriate for your individual patient and their clinical condition. Once applied, AutoLimits are shown on the monitor screen just like manually-set alarm limits. If the AutoLimits are not appropriate for your patient, you must set alarm limits manually. The limits remain unchanged until you set them again or change them manually.

Latching Alarms
The alarm latching setting for your monitor 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 monitor after the alarm condition ends. The indication lasts until you acknowledge the alarm.
Viewing the Alarm Latching Settings
To see the alarm latching setting for your monitor
1 In the monitor’s Main Setup menu, select Alarms.
2 Select Alarm Settings, and see the Visual Latching and Audible Latching
settings.
This setting can only be changed in Configuration Mode. You should be aware of the settings chosen for your unit. There are three possible choices each for visual and audible latching, Red, Red and Yellow, and Off. These choices can be combined to give the following settings:
Visual Latching
Audible latching

Testing Alarms
When you switch the monitor on, a selftest is started. You must check that the alarms lamps light, one after the other, and that you hear a single tone. This indicates that the visible and audible alarm indicators are functioning correctly.
Alarm Behavior at On/Off
When you switch alarms on, the settings defined in the currently active Profile are used.
If the monitor is switched off for longer than one minute and then switched on again, or after a loss of power lasting longer than one minute, or when a patient is discharged, the monitor can be configured to restore either the alarm settings from the monitor's configured default Profile, or the most recently used alarm settings. After any of these situations, you should check that the alarm settings are appropriate for your patient, and if necessary, select the correct Profile and patient category.
If power is lost for less than one minute, the alarm settings prior to the power loss are restored.

Use the Patient Demographics window and its associated pop-up keys to admit, discharge, and transfer (ADT) patients.
All patient demographic and ADT information is shared between the patient monitor and the Information Center, for example, patients admitted to the monitor are automatically admitted to a connected Information Center.
Admitting a Patient
The monitor displays physiological data and stores it in the trends as soon as a patient is connected. This lets you monitor a patient who is not yet admitted. It is however important to admit patients properly so that you can identify your patient on recordings, reports, and networked devices.
During admission you enter data that the monitor needs for safe and accurate operation. For example, the patient category setting determines the algorithm the monitor uses to process and calculate some measurements, the safety limits that apply for some measurements, and the alarm limit ranges.

5 Select Confirm. The patient status changes to admitted.
Patient Category and Paced Status
The patient category setting determines the algorithm the monitor uses to process and calculate some measurements, the safety limits that apply for some measurements, and the alarm limit ranges.
The paced setting determines whether the monitor shows pacemaker pulses or not. When Paced is set to No, pace pulses are filtered and therefore do not show in the ECG wave.
WARNING Patient Category and Paced status will always contain a value, regardless of whether the
patient is fully admitted or not. If you do not specify settings for these fields, the monitor uses the default settings from the current profile, which might not be correct for your patient.
Patient category Changing the patient category may change the arrhythmia and NBP alarm limits. Always check alarm limits to make sure that they are appropriate for your patient.
Paced status For paced patients, you must set could mistake a pace pulse for a QRS and fail to alarm during asystole.

Admitting a Centrally-Monitored Patient
You can admit a patient at either the bedside or the Information Center. When you admit a patient, the patient’s name appears on the bedside monitor and the Information Center.
If you do not fill in all patient information required by the Information Center, the Information Center may reject the admission. Complete all the required fields and try again to admit the patient.
Quick Admitting a Patient
Use Quick Admit only if you do not have the time or information to fully admit a patient. Complete the rest of the patient demographic details later. If you do not, the patient name will not be written on reports and on information stored in the database or sent to an Information Center.

To edit the patient information after a patient has been admitted, select the patient name field on the Main Screen to open the
Patient Demographics window, and make the required changes.
Discharging a Patient
You should always perform a discharge even if your previous patient was not admitted. A discharge:
– clears the information in the Patient Demographics window
– erases all patient data (such as trend, event, and calculation data) from the monitor, measurement
servers and Information Center
– resets patient category and paced settings to the settings defined in the default Profile
– resets all monitor and measurement settings as well as the active Screen to the settings defined in
the default Profile
– discharges the patient from the Information Center.
When a patient is discharged from the monitor or from an Information Center, all patient data is deleted. Make sure that you have printed out any required reports before discharging. Check that a functioning local or central printer is available before you use End Case.
To discharge a patient,
1 Select the patient name field to display the Patient Demographics window and associated
pop-up keys.
2 Select the pop-up key for either:
End Case - to print any configured end case reports or vital signs recording, discharge the

5 Managing Patients Transferring Patients
Transferring Patients
To save you from having to enter the same patient data multiple times and enable patient transfer without loss of data, information can be shared between measurement servers, patient monitors, and Information Centers.
– patient demographic information is shared between connected measurement servers, patient
monitors, and Information Centers
– measurement settings and calibration data can be uploaded from an MMS to a patient monitor, if
configured
– trend information can be uploaded from an MMS to a patient monitor, if configured.
Different sets of patient- and measurement-related data are stored in the monitor and the Multi­Measurement Server. Understanding this will help you to understand what happens to patient data when you transfer patients.

Transferring a Centrally-Monitored Patient
78
Scenario: A centrally-monitored patient is moved to another monitoring location on the same Information Center database server without interrupting the collection of patient trend information.
1 Before you disconnect the MMS from the monitor, select the patient name in the monitor info line
to enter the Patient Demographics window, then select the Transfer pop-up key. If the patient is not admitted or not monitored by an Information Center, the Transfer key is inactive (“grayed-out”).
This step preserves the patient’s demographic data during the transfer.

extensions from the MMS, as this will erase all settings and trend data stored in the MMS for the extension measurements.
3 Connect the MMS to the transfer monitor and monitor your patient during the move.
4 At the new location, connect the MMS to the monitor. If the monitor detects a patient conflict,
the patient selection window will be displayed.
5 Select Continue MMS and Confirm your selection. This re-admits the patient from the
transfer list to the new monitor, completing the transfer. This will upload the patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the MMS to the receiving monitor.
6 Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct.
If you accidentally transfer a patient, use Center. If you are not connected to the network, select patient data remains in the monitor.

1 Disconnect the MMS from the original monitor and silence the resulting MMS UNPLUGGED
INOP. If you are sure that the patient will not be returning to this monitor, you should perform a
discharge or end-case. This prevents data from the next patient accidentally being mixed up with your current patient’s data.
2 Connect the MMS to the transport monitor and move the patient.
3 At the new monitoring location, remove the MMS from the transport monitor and connect it to
the new monitor.
4 If prompted, re-admit the patient to the new monitor: in the Patient Selection window,
select Continue MMS to retain the data in the MMS. This will upload the patient demographics, and, if configured, the measurement settings and trend data stored in the MMS to the monitor. Verify that the settings for patient category and paced mode are correct.
Data Upload from an MMS
The Multi-Measurement Server stores eight hours of patient trend data at one-minute resolution. It also stores patient demographic information and the measurement settings and calibration data for the measurements carried out by the MMS and any connected extensions. This data can be uploaded to an IntelliVue patient monitor, if your monitor is configured to do so and if at least five minutes of trend information is stored in the MMS.
Your monitor’s data upload settings are defined in Configuration Mode to suit your patient transfer use model.
How data is uploaded to the host monitor depends on the configuration mode settings MMS Trend Upload and MMS Settings Upload.
If there is a patient conflict and you select Continue Monitor, no data will be uploaded from the MMS.

5 Managing Patients Data Exchange Between Information Centers
Data Exchange Between Information Centers
You can transfer demographic data and trend data from one IIC to another by selecting Transfer on the patient monitor. Trend data is not shared between Information Centers and monitors.
Resolving Patient Information Mismatch
When you connect an MMS to a monitor, or a monitor to the network, the monitor compares patient category, paced status, and a unique patient identification number that is internally stored in both the MMS and the monitor. The monitor indicates a mismatch if the information is not identical.
Depending on your monitor’s configuration, this mismatch may be automatically resolved or you may have to resolve it manually. If your monitor is configured to resolve mismatches automatically, depending on the configuration, either the monitor or the Multi-Measurement Server data is automatically retained.
WARNING USA only When a monitor is connected to an Information Center by the wireless IntelliVue
Instrument Telemetry interface, the patient data will automatically be merged in the case of a transfer. This means there is no patient discharge at the monitor and settings and trend data will be retained. You will see a message on the monitor and the Patient Demographics window will automatically appear so that you can check the data and change it if necessary.
Manually Resolving Patient Mismatch
The patient mismatch is indicated by question marks (???) beside the questionable fields in the Monitor Info Line and in the Patient Demographics window. The monitor displays a message such as
Different patients in Central and Monitor. The Patient Selection window
automatically opens so you can decide which patient data to use. You do not have to resolve the mismatch immediately, however, the indicators remain until you do. There can be up to three columns of data in the Patient Selection window if the patient is different in the Information Center, monitor, and MMS.
After you resolve the mismatch, the monitor displays a confirmation window that explains the consequences of your choice, telling you where the patient will be continued/discontinued. Confirm your choice. The monitor automatically displays the Patient Demographics window after confirmation. Verify that the settings shown are correct for the patient.
Gender, date of birth, height, weight, and nursing notes do not generate a mismatch. If these fields are different on different devices, the monitor resolves them itself. For example, it may take date of birth from the Information Center, whilst taking gender from the MMS. Always check the Patient Demographics after combining patients, to ensure that you are satisfied with the results. Change them if necessary.
WARNING After resolving a patient mismatch, check that the monitor settings (especially patient category, paced
status and alarm limits) are correct for the patient.

Resolving Patient Information Mismatch 5 Managing Patients
Patient Mismatch - If One Set of Patient Data is Correct
If there is a mismatch between an
Information Center and a monitor, choose the data set you want to continue using for this patient, either:
Continue Central: to continue with the patient demographics from the Information Center, discharge the patient in the monitor, and use the default monitor profile.
Continue Monitor: to continue with the patient in the monitor and discharge the patient in the Information Center, permanently deleting all data in the Information Center.
If there is a mismatch between a
monitor and a measurement server, choose the data set you want to continue using for this patient, either:
Continue Monitor: to continue with the patient demographics, trend data, and settings in the monitor. This discharges the patient in the measurement server, and resets all MMS settings to the defaults currently active for the monitor.
Continue MMS: to upload the data
- patient demographics, trend data (if configured), and measurement settings (if configured) - stored in the MMS to the monitor. This clears all data in the monitor, resets the monitor to the default Profile, and discharges the patient in the monitor.

Patient Mismatch - If Neither Patient Data Set is Correct
A patient mismatch where neither set of patient data is correct might occur if you connect a new MMS to a monitor in order to prepare for a new patient, before you actually start measuring.
Select New Patient if you are sure that none of the information is correct. This discharges all
patients, erases all data in both the monitor and MMS, resets all settings to the default Profile, and lets you admit a new patient.

Patient Mismatch - If Both Patient Data Sets Are Correct
A patient mismatch where both sets of patient data are correct might occur if you admit a new patient at the monitor (or Information Center) before the patient arrives at your unit and then connect the MMS that was used during the patient transport to the monitor.
Select Same Patient if the patient information is different, but you are sure it is the same
patient. This merges the demographics and updates them in the Information Center, monitor, and MMS, according to this table. Be aware that your monitor may be configured to merge trend data from the MMS and the monitor, and to upload measurement settings from the MMS to the monitor.

Automatically Resolving Patient Mismatch
Your monitor can be configured to automatically resolve mismatches in one of two ways.
• continue using the patient in the MMS, and delete the old data in the monitor. This is suitable for transport monitors.
• continue with the patient in the monitor, and delete the data in the MMS.
Care Groups
If your monitor is connected to an Information Center, you can group bedside monitors into Care Groups. This lets you:
• view information on the monitor screen from another bed in the same or in a different Care Group.
• be notified of yellow or red alarm conditions at the other beds in the Care Group.
• see the alarm status of all the beds in the Care Group on each monitor screen.
There are two main types of Care Groups:
• standard care group (Bed-based Care Group) - up to 12 patients monitored by up to 4 Information Centers
•unit group (Unit-based Care Group) - for a complete unit with up to 64 patients monitored by up to 4 Information Centers
