Safety Instructions
The ICP-Monitor and the accompanying probes are designed for the
measurement of intracranial
pressure. The manufacturer accepts
responsibility for the safety,
reliability and performance of the
monitor only if:
- the installation, extensions,
readjustments, modifications and
repairs are performed by
authorized personnel,
- the monitor is used in
accordance with the operating
instructions, and
- the monitor is used with the
approved accessories.
Attention
The device is not intended for use in
areas where there is a danger of
explosion.
Attention
The device may be repaired only by
persons or companies that are
authorized to do so.
Attention
The device is not intended for use
during Electro-Surgery/Diathermy.
Attention
Grounding reliability can only be
achieved if the device is connected
to an equivalent power cord marked
„hospital grade“ or „hospital only“.
Attention
It must be ensured that the
classification of all connected
devices is suitible to the application
with regards to safety against
electric shock. The fact that leakage
currents are amplified if more than
one devices are connected to a
patient must be taken into account.
Attention
It is the sole responsibility of the user
to check that the electric installation
is in compliance with the local and
hospital-specific safety regulations
and that the system is in compliance
with the standard DIN EN 60601-1-1
„General standards, safety
regulations for electro-medical
devices“.

Indication and Method
The ICP-Monitor and the probes are
intended for the monitoring of
intracranial pressure in the ventricle,
in the parenchyma, subdurally, or
epidurally.
The Air-Pouch system consists of a
hollow body connected to a
pressure transducer by tubing. The
pressure transducer, the electronic
hardware, and the device for filling
the Air-Pouch are integrated in
the ICP-Monitor.
For intraventricular or
intraparenchymal pressure
measurement the Air-Pouch is
placed in the ventricle or in the
parenchyma respectively. For
epidural or subdural pressure
measurements the Air-Pouch is
placed on the dura or under the
dura of the patient.
The intracranial pressure is
transmitted across the thin pouch
wall to the air volume in the pouch
and transformed into an electric
signal by the pressure transducer.
On the digital display the mean ICP
and the systolic and diastolic ICP are
shown. At the monitor output both
the mean pressure and the pulsatile
signal are available.
Once every hour the ICP-Monitor
opens the pressure transducer to
atmospheric pressure for zero
adjustment. The Air-Pouch is
then filled with the exact air
volume.
Monitor Operation
Make sure the correct mains
voltage is selected.
If selection of the voltage needs to
be changed, it can be selected after
opening of the cover of the selector
next to the power cord socket.
After changing the voltage, the
fuses need to be changed according
to the plate.

7
After placement of probe the tube
connector is inserted into the
monitor socket and fastened by a
slight clockwise turn. The soft
material of the connector
guarantees air-tightness.
Monitoring is started by pushing the
button marked I/O. No manual zero
adjustment or calibration is
required.
Connect the power cord to the
monitor and to a power outlet. The
power control lamp indicates mains
operation.

8
Cleaning
After removal of the power cord
the unit can be wiped off with a
damp rag using a common
disinfectant. No liquid whatsoever
must be introduced into the
catheter or into
the connector of the monitor.
On the digital display the mean ICP
is shown in mmHg. Systolic and
diastolic ICP are also displayed.
Attention
Unplug the power cord
prior to cleaning.
Attention
No fluid should be
allowed to enter the
probe connector.
Attention
In case of unintentional
wettening of the device,
the power cord is to be
disconnected
immediately.

9
Connections
Connection of a Patient
Monitor
To connect a patient monitor the
connecting cable is inserted into the
socket of the ICP-Monitor marked
Monitor and connected to the
pressure transducer input of the
patient monitor.
Zero Adjustment of the
Patient Monitor
Push the button marked Zero. A
blinking „0.0“ ist displayed. Zero
patient monitor using the zero
button whilst the blinking „0.0“ is
displayed.
Connection of a CPP-Monitor
Connect the socket marked RS 232
of the ICP-Monitor to the RS 232
ICP socket of the CPP-Monitor.
Connection of a Device with
Voltage Input
To connect a device with voltage
input, the appropriate cable is
connected with the socket marked
„Monitor“ of the ICP-Monitor and
the input socket of the device.
Connection of a Computer
The computer is connected to the
socket marked RS 232.
Attention
The ICP-Monitor must only be used
with monitors and devices, that are
CE-marked and approved as an
electro-medical device.

10
Faults
The air-tightness of the Air-Pouch
system is checked regularly. If a leak
is detected, the red warning
indicator shows alarm. When the
leak is removed the red warning
indicator disappears and the
measurement is continued. If the
leak has not been removed after
one minute, in addition to the
alarm display a chirp sound is
emitted. To reset the alarm the
monitor must be switched off and
on again. The chirp sound stops
after one minute, unless the
monitor has been switched off
before, and the digital display
disappears. The warning
indicator continues to flash.
If a pressure limit is exceeded during
probe filling the filling process is
interrupted, the digital display
shows ´E1´ and the chirp sound is
emitted. This can happen if the airpouch resists unfolding or if the
tube is clamped. Switching off and
on the monitor resets the system.
If the digital display shows
´E2´....´E9´ during operation an
internal fault has been detected.
Contact the service in this case.
Attention
The unit cannot be
repaired by the user.
