WARNING
To reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation, properly route and fix cables. Do not leave
unapplied belts in reach of the patient.
WARNING
The SensorBelt ox generate a small amount of heat and their surfaces can
reach several °C above ambient temperature. Failure to adhere to the following points increases the risk of local
skin burn:
1) Do not place the MatchBox directly on the patient and place the ControlBox in a way to prevent any skin
contact with the patient.
2) Where possible do not cover the ControlBox or the MatchBox with linens or bed covers to avoid possible
heating of the skin.
3) To minimize the pressure on the chest of the patient in prone position right there where the MatchBox is
inserted in the SensorBelt and to allow convection to conduct heat away from the
MatchBox place, for example, two small cushions on either side of the docking station.
On ScoutView, verify that the size of the connected SensorBelt matches the recommended size (Figure 6-6,
Figure 6-7). In case of a mismatch verify the measured half underbust girth. If necessary, either adjust the
respective entry on the monitor or select a belt of recommended size.
Check proper setup (8.4) and select an
Analysis Mode
being adequate ttern (8.5)
initially and at least every 8 hours while monitoring the patient (9).
WARNING
Data quality may be impaired, measurements incorrect and thus results may be misinterpreted if
1) the size of the connected belt does not match the recommended size
2) the belt is not applied and positioned as recommended
3)

4) patient data or half underbust girth are not determined and entered correctly. Notice that these settings
are reset to their defaults when starting up the monitor. You therefore must re-enter these settings after
each restart of the monitor
5) an inadequate

is selected.
8.2 LuMon Belt Adult application and initiating monitoring for adults and children
To initiate monitoring for adults and children, perform the following steps by referring to the figures in this sub-
section. For quick recall, the Quick Reference Guide for Adults/Children (14.1) provides a condensed version of
the information provided in this sub-section and the instructions included in the packaging of the LuMon
BeltAdult (14.1) provide the same figures without explanatory text.
Before initiating monitoring for a new patient, ensure the patient meets the criteria for EIT monitoring (3, 4.4)
and obtain a LuMon Monitor Adult (5.1) and a LuMon Belt Connector (5.2.2) to perform the preoperational
check including the verification of the monitor date/time (7.4).
Remove all material and wipe away any fluids around the thorax where the striped fabric of the LuMon Belt
(Figure 5-6) will be placed.
Figure 8-4: Selecting the LuMon Belt size for adults and children
By using a Measuring tape Adults/Children (5.5.1) included in the LuMon Contact Spray Kit measure the
p girth (from spine to mid sternum just below the breast line) and determine the size of
the LuMon Belt (5.3.2) best fitting the patient as shown in Figure 8-4. Predefined colored half underbust
ranges on the Measuring tape Adults/Children indicate the size of the recommended LuMon Belt. To assist
size selection, packaging labels of correspondingly sized belts exhibit an area with the same color. Refer to
Table 13-14 for available LuMon Belt sizes.
