4 Start monitoring
4.1 Connecting the cables for monitoring
1. Connect the ECG cable, the NIBP cuff, the SpO
2
sensor, the CO
2
sensor or the
temperature sensor to the patient.
2. Press the menu button and select System. Select
between adult, child or neonate.
3. Check the settings in the ECG, NIBP, IBP, SpO
2
and CO
2
panels.
4. Connect the cable to the LCM. As soon as an ECG cable or another sensor cable
is connected, the corresponding indication appears on the display.
5. Press the alarm limits button and check the settings.
6. Check the alarm and the system statuses. (See section 2.2.3.)
4.2 ECG monitoring
« Refer to section 7.3 for ECG electrode placement.
4.2.1 RRi monitoring with HF-ECG cable
An RRi monitoring with HF-ECG cable against high frequncy signals is not possible.
The used HF-signal for the RRi measuring will be filtered by the HF protection in the
ECG cable.
Values are only displayed when the ECG cable or at least one sensor is connected.
If a sensor is disconnected, a technical alarm is issued. The measured value will no
longer be displayed if the sensor is disconnected and the alarm is acknowledged.
V In order to minimise interference and the danger of burns to the patient, only use
the original SCHILLER HF ECG cables against high-frequency radiation. Keep
the ECG cable as far away as possible from the operated area and the electro-
surgical cables. Make sure that the electro-surgical return conductor (neutral) is
well attached to the patient and that a good contact is guaranteed.
V Patients with a pacemaker must be observed continuously because the heart rate
from the pacemaker might still be registered in case of a cardiac arrest or some
arrhythimas.
– SCHILLER recommends to attach, in addition to ECG measurement, a SpO
2
sensor and adjust the alarm range of PP near to peripheral pulse.
The ECG curve field is only displayed when the ECG cable is connected and the
electrodes are applied. As soon one derivation is detected the curve field will be dis-
played.
