System Overview

1 System Introduction

Dual-band

Operation

The frequency range of the Philips Telemetry System (M2600A) allows operation in both the 590-632 MHz and the 406-480 MHz frequency bands. This provides more options for users in countries where radio rule changes in recent years have made higher band operating frequencies more desirable for medical telemetry. For example, in the U.S.A., an FCC rule change provides co-primary operation for medical telemetry at UHF TV Channel 37 (608-614 MHz). The antenna system enables operation up to 650 MHz, addressing the needs of these newer rules, and allows operation of transmitters in both bands simultaneously.

Transmitters

The following Philips transmitters can be used with the Philips Telemetry System:

• standard - ECG and SpO

• standard - ECG only

• EASI - ECG and SpO

• EASI - ECG only

To aid in identification, standard ECG transmitters have dark green labels and EASI transmitters have purple labels.

Note—The HP M1400A/B Transmitter (ECG only) can also be used. For

operating information, refer to the user guide for your HP M1403A Telemetry System.

Warning

Pacemakers can be susceptible to radio frequency (RF) interference from devices such as telemetry transmitters which may temporarily impair their performance.

The output power of telemetry transmitters and other sources of radio frequency energy, when used in the proximity of a pacemaker, may be sufficient to interfere with the pacemaker’s performance. Due to the shielding effects of the body, internal pacemakers are somewhat less vulnerable than external pacemakers. However, caution should be exercised when monitoring any paced patient.

In order to minimize the possibility of interference, position electrodes, electrode wires, and the transmitter as far away from the pacemaker as possible.

Consult the pacemaker manufacturer for information on the RF susceptibility of their products and the use of their products with the telemetry transmitters.

See the Philips Information Center User’s Guide for additional information on monitoring paced patients.

Transmitters

1 System Introduction

Philips Transmitters

The Philips Transmitter (EASI and standard ECG version) is battery powered and worn by the patient. It acquires the patient's ECG and SpO

signals (if

available), processes them, and sends them via the antenna system to the receiver. Measurements are then displayed at the Philips Information Center. The transmitter can also be connected via an infrared link to the Wave Viewer or TeleMon to provide display of patient measurements and waveforms at the patient’s side.

Transmitters

ECG Connection: The Philips Transmitter supports a 3- or 5-wire ECG cable compatible with Philips CMS/24 ECG trunk cables. The Philips EASI Transmitter supports 5-wire ECG cables only (use of a 3-wire cable set generates an INOP condition). CMS trunk cables must include telemetry combiners. In addition to keeping dirt out of the connectors, the combiner has a locking mechanism to keep the lead set attached securely to the transmitter. For safety, every lead should be secured to an electrode on the patient.

Warning

Conductive parts of electrodes should not contact earth or other conductive parts.

Disconnection of Leadset: When you’re ready to disconnect the leadset, lift the clip of the combiner to release the lock. Then, holding the combiner firmly, rock the leadset free. Do not pull on the lead wires or push on the combiner clip.

SpO

Connection: In addition, both the standard ECG and EASI transmitter

support a SpO

transducer (sensor) connection. SpO2 can be measured

continuously, intermittently at 1 or 5 minute intervals, or manually. Reusable sensors in adult finger, small adult/pediatric finger, and ear clip models can be used, as well as Oxisensor II™ disposable sensors. See Appendix B, “Accessories and Ordering Information” for a list of sensors.

Chest Diagram & LEADS OFF Lights: The diagram on the front of the standard ECG transmitter shows lead placement for a 5-wire lead set. The white, black and red electrode positions represent standard AAMI 3-lead placement; the red, yellow and green electrode positions represent standard IEC 3-lead placement. Non-standard 3-wire lead placement diagrams are available at the Wave Viewer.

The diagram on the front of the EASI transmitter shows EASI lead placement for a 5-wire lead set. The AAMI colors that are used for EASI are brown (E), red (A), black (S), white (I), and green (reference). The IEC equivalents for EASI are white (E), green (A), yellow (S), red (I), and black (reference).

On both transmitters, each electrode position has a light that illuminates if the corresponding electrode becomes detached. In a LEADS OFF situation, this indicator will help you identify quickly which leads are off and re-attach them. If the reference lead is off, after you correct the situation you may find other lights illuminated as well.

1-8 Introduction to the Philips Telemetry System

Transmitters

A second function of the Leads Off lights is to indicate successful power-up of the transmitter. When you insert a battery into the transmitter, all five lights should flash once. This indicates that the battery has adequate power for monitoring and that there is no transmitter malfunction. See “Inserting Batteries” on page 1-18 for details.

1 System Introduction

Philips Telemet ry Battery Extender

The electrode lights are also used as an indicator that a manual SpO measurement has been initiated at the transmitter.

The Philips Telemetry Battery Extender (M2611A) enables operation of the transmitter with an external power source when a patient is not ambulating. The battery extender can be used with Release B and C Philips transmitters, and earlier transmitters that have been upgraded.

The battery extender consists of a cradle, which is fitted over the battery compartment of the transmitter, and a cable connecting to a wall-mounted DC power module. When the battery extender is in use, no battery power is used (battery save mode).

Note—The purpose of the battery extender is to conserve battery life; the

extender does not recharge the battery.

The transmitters and the battery extender (except the power module) can withstand submersion in water for 5 minutes and exposure in a shower for 10 minutes. If the battery compartment gets wet, remove the battery and wipe the compartment dry before monitoring. See “Chapter 5. Telemetry System Cleaning” for details.

Caution

Disconnect the battery extender cradle from the power module prior to a patient’s showering.

Earlier Philips transmitters are also resistant to water. If either transmitter is exposed to liquids, remove the battery and dry the battery compartment thoroughly before monitoring.

If the transmitter or battery extender needs cleaning, follow the instructions in “Cleaning the Transmitter & Battery Extender” on page 5-4.

1-12 Introduction to the Philips Telemetry System

Transmitters

Pouch Use During normal use, the transmitter should be worn over clothing, in a pocket, or

preferably in a pouch.

Warning

Place the transmitter in a pouch or over clothing, or both, during patient use. The transmitter should not touch the patient’s skin during normal use.

1 System Introduction

Automatic

Shutoff

Battery Information

A service feature of the transmitter is RF Automatic Shutoff, which causes the transmitter to stop broadcasting a radio signal if there is no ECG signal for 10 minutes. This prevents interference with other transmitters in use. The INOP message at central is TRANSMITTER OFF. To restart monitoring, attach leads to the patient. Automatic Shutoff can be configured off. When configured off, batteries must be removed and the battery extender should be disconnected when the transmitters are not in use to prevent RF interference and unnecessary battery drain.

The Philips Transmitter battery compartment is capable of accommodating any type of standard 9 volt battery. An 8.4 volt Zinc-Air battery can be used with the both the EASI ECG and standard ECG-only version of the transmitter. The transmitter was not designed for use with rechargable batteries.

The battery compartment is located at the bottom of the transmitter. The length of time the battery lasts depends on:

• The type of transmitter.

• The battery.

• The parameters being monitored - ECG only, ECG and continuous SpO or ECG and intermittent SpO

When battery power is running low, the INOP message BATTERY WEAK appears in the patient sector to indicate there is at least 15 minutes of battery life remaining.

When there is no battery life remaining, the INOP message REPLACE BATTERY is displayed.

Transmitters

Note—If the BATTERY WEAK message appears when you are making a STAT

SpO

measurement, or changing the SpO2 sample rate out of Manual, it may be

necessary to replace the battery immediately in order to continue monitoring.

Be careful not to short circuit the battery. Short circuiting is caused when a piece of metal touches both buttons (positive and negative terminals) at the top of the battery simultaneously (for example, carrying batteries in a pocket with loose change). More than a momentary short circuit will generally reduce the battery life.

Warning

Certain failure conditions, such as extended short circuiting, can cause a battery to overheat during normal use. High temperatures can cause burns to the patient and/or user, or cause the battery to flame. If the transmitter becomes hot to the touch, place it aside until it cools. Then remove the battery and discard it. It’s a good idea to place a piece of tape across the contacts of the battery to prevent inadvertent shorting. Have transmitter operation checked by service to identify the cause of overheating.

The battery should be removed when the transmitter is stored.

Warning

Batteries should be removed from the transmitter at the end of the battery’s useful life to prevent leakage.

Warning

If battery leakage should occur, use caution in removing the battery. Avoid contact with skin. Clean the battery compartment according to instructions in “Chapter 5. Telemetry System Cleaning”.
