Impedance respiratory rate (RRi)
Connecting the 3-, 5-, 6-wire lead sets for respiration monitoring
The following diagram shows how to attach the lead
sets to the M540:
A
Non-invasive blood pressure hose connector
B
M540 ECG port
C
Lead set
D
Port cover
To connect the ECG lead sets
1
Insert the 3-, 5-, or 6-wire lead set (C) into the
ECG port (B) on the side of the M540 that is
closest to the non-invasive blood pressure
connector (A).
Orient the ECG adapter cable lead set (C) so
the exposed pins face towards you as you push
it firmly into the ECG port.
2
Insert the port cover (D) to protect the unused
ECG lead pins.
3
Connect the lead wires to the patient. For
information on applying the electrodes to the
patient, refer to the figures starting on
page 208.
WARNING
The monitor reports an apneic event when no
breaths are detected within the established
apnea alarm time period. Therefore, do not
rely on
RRi
monitoring as the sole method for
detecting cessation of breathing. Dräger
recommends the monitoring of additional
parameters that indicate the patient’s
oxygenation status, such as etCO2 and SpO
2
.
Heart rate limit alarms should also be enabled
and set appropriately.
WARNING
RRi
and pacer detection are inoperative when
the ESU filter is selected. Refer to
"Electrosurgery" on page 20 for general
safety precautions.

NOTE
An ECG lead set can rest in the ECG port of the
M540 without actually being connected. Make
sure that all ECG lead sets are pushed firmly into
the ECG port of the M540.
Almost every MonoLead features a number on
the lead set indicating how many leads connect.
When connecting a MonoLead, make sure the
number faces in the same direction as the M540
display.
