z Patient Admit / Discharge
y This unit cannot display the patient information (patient ID, patient
name, etc.) received from the central monitor, even when a wireless
network or TCON system is constructed.
y The patient classification selection influences the precision of the
QRS detection or NIBP measurement and Alarm Limit Setup area.
Make sure the correct selection is made.
y If monitoring of new patient is started without discharging the previous
patient, the measurement data of the previous and new patient will
become mixed up on the table and trend data.
y When the discharge procedure is performed, patient data such as
trend data will be initialized. The parameter and alarm will be reset
according to the setting on [Main Menu]>[Maintenance]>[Backup
Setup]>[Backup at Discharge].
z ECG Monitoring
y If different types of electrodes are used at the same time, the
difference between the polarization potential from each electrode may
interfere monitoring. Make sure to use electrodes of the same type.
y Do not reuse/re-sterilize the disposable electrodes.
y ECG measurement part is Type CF applied part, but it is not intended
to directly apply on patient's heart.
y
The indication for continuous use of the electrode is about one day.
y Replace the electrode if the skin contact gets loosen due to
perspiring, etc.
y When an electrode is attached to the same location for a long period,
some patients may develop skin irritation. Check the patient's skin
condition periodically and change the electrode site as required.
y Use only the specified relay cables, lead cables, and electrodes.
y The conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors for
applied parts, including the neutral electrode, should not contact other
conductive parts including earth.
y Verify proper electrode placement, lead, waveform size, and filter
mode selection. If not properly selected, it may cause erroneous
detection.
z Respiration Monitoring
y
When a defibrillator is used during respiration monitoring, a large
offset voltage will be placed on the ECG electrodes, which may cause
interruption of monitoring for a few seconds.

Monitoring
y If the nail is rough, dirty, or manicured, accurate measurement will not
be possible. Change the finger or clean the nail before attaching the
probe and sensor.
y If irritation such as skin reddening or skin fit appears with the sensor
use, change the attachment site or stop using the sensor.
y When fixating the sensor with tape, do not wind the tape too strong.
At the same time, check the blood flow constantly so that congestion
is not generated at the peripheral.
y Even attachment over a short duration of time may inhibit the blood
flow and generate compression necrosis or burn injury. Additionally,
blood flow inhibition may prevent correct measurements.
y Check the sensor attachment site constantly in every 4 hours when
probes or reusable sensor are used, and at least every 8 hours when
a single-patient-use sensor is used. Be especially careful of a patient
with bad perfusion. If the sensor attachment position is not changed
constantly, skin irritation or skin necrosis due to compression may be
developed. For the patient with bad perfusion, check the sensor
attachment position at least every 2 hours.
