Basic Operation

Setting up the Monitor

This section describes how to power up the monitor, charge the battery, and change the system date and time.

Powering Up

The monitor operates on AC power or the internal battery. To power up the monitor:

Step

1 If not already connected, plug the external power supply into the power

connector on the monitor’s rear panel and into an AC power source.

Caution - Use only the Philips-provided power supply (Astec model DPS54-M).

2 Ensure that the AC outlet is properly grounded and supplies the

specified voltage and frequency (100 - 240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz).

Note — Within the U.S., a hospital-grade outlet is recommended.

The green power LED on the front panel lights when the AC power source is connected. Also, the battery indicator on the front panel indicates the current status of the battery. See the next section, Charging

The monitor powers up and performs a self-test. During this self-test, the monitor also tests the speaker; listen for an audible tone to confirm that the speaker is working properly.

Charging the Battery

Charging LED

Note — To ensure that the battery is sufficiently charged, keep the monitor plugged in to AC power when it is not in use.

The Charging LED on the front panel provides the charging status of the battery. The color of the LED tells you how much charge remains on the battery:

• Green: The battery is at least 90% charged.

• Flashing Green: More than 30% charge, but less than 90%.

• Yellow: More than 21% charge, but less than 30%.

• Flashing Yellow: Less than 21% charge.

Setting up the Monitor

Any time the monitor is connected to AC power, the battery is being charged. When you first receive the monitor, the battery charge may be low. You should connect the monitor to an AC power source before using it on battery power alone.

The battery status pane on the bottom of the LCD screen also indicates battery status.

Battery Status

If the monitor is connected to AC power, and the external power

supply is then disconnected, the monitor automatically resorts to battery power, if the battery is sufficiently charged. All alarm settings and patient records are preserved.

Warning Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally responsible manner. Do not dispose

of the battery in normal waste containers. Consult your hospital administrator to find out about local arrangements.

Networked Monitors

If your monitor is networked, the records in the Patient Records table change from white to green after they have been exported; if the records do not change from white to green, see your system administrator for assistance.

Networked Monitors

Caution If you are using the optional serial interface adapter to export data and you

disconnect the adapter to move the monitor to a different location, make sure the black sheath completely covers the RS-232 connector after you reconnect the cable.

Using the Monitor Safely

All of the patient applied parts on the SureSigns VS2 vital signs monitor are classified as type CF, which specifies their degree of protection against electrical shock. All are rated as defibrillator proof, as indicated by the heart symbol on the side panel.

This monitor is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgery.

SureSigns VS2 vital signs monitors conform to CISPR 11. SureSigns VS2 vital signs monitors are suitable for use in all establishments except domestic establishments and those directly connected to the public low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.

Ensure that the monitor is in working condition before clinical use. If the accuracy of any measurement does not seem reasonable, first check the patient’s vital signs by alternative means and then with the monitor to make sure it is working properly. Always verify that the monitor’s settings match your intended selections.

If you connect the monitor to any instrument, verify proper operation before clinical use. Refer to the instrument’s Instructions for Use for full instructions.

Accessory equipment connected to the monitor’s data interface must be certified according to IEC Standard 60950 for data-processing equipment or IEC Standard

Basic Operation

SureSigns VS2 Instructions for Use 2-13

Using the Monitor Safely

60601-1 for electromedical equipment. All combinations of equipment must be in compliance with IEC Standard 60601-1-1 systems requirements.

Anyone who connects additional equipment to the signal input port or signal output port configures a medical system and is therefore responsible to ensure that the system complies with the requirements of system standard IEC Standard 60601-1-1. If in doubt, contact the Philips Customer Care Center or your local Philips representative.

The monitor and its accessories must be tested by qualified service personnel at regular intervals to ensure that performance has not been degraded by aging or environmental conditions. Periodic performance verification tests can be performed, as described in the

SureSigns VS2 Service Guide.

Warning Explosion Hazard. Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable

anaesthetic mixture with air or oxygen or nitrous oxide. Oxygen concentrations must be <25% and partial pressure <27.5 kPa when no other oxidants are present.

Electric shock hazard. Covers should be removed only by qualified service personnel. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Do not touch the patient, or table, or instruments during defibrillation.

Measurement accuracy may decrease temporarily while performing electro-surgery or defibrillation. This does not affect patient or equipment safety.

Do not open the monitor or attempt to change the battery. If you suspect a problem with parts within the monitor, contact your biomed or local Philips Representative.

Before you begin monitoring, make sure that the correct patient type is selected. The monitor’s default alarm limits and initial cuff inflation pressures are based on the selected patient type.

Route patient cabling to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation.

Do not place the monitor in any position that might cause it to fall on the patient. Do not lift the monitor by the power supply cord or patient connections.

The roll stand basket has a maximum capacity of 8 pounds (3.6 kg). If you place more than 8 pounds (3.6 kg) in the basket, the roll stand may tip.

Do not use the monitor on more than one patient at a time.

To ensure patient electrical isolation, connect only to other equipment that provides patient electrical isolation. Use only unshielded network cables.
