10 PAUSING OR ENDING MONITORING
How to pause monitoring without removing the belt is explained in 10.1. 10.2 explains how to pause monitoring
with belt removal and 10.3 how to end monitoring for a patient.
NOTE
Patient data and ( ) half underbust girth or ( ) full underbust girth and belt displacement are reset to their
defaults when starting up the monitor. These settings therefore must be re-entered after each restart of the
monitor.
10.1 Pausing monitoring without belt removal
To pause/interrupt monitoring for a patient without belt removal proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the reusable belt connector from the disposable, single-patient use belt without
switching the monitor off (see note above). To disconnect a SensorBeltConnector from a SensorBelt
press both release buttons on either side of the SensorBelt Docking Station (Figure 5-5) with one
hand, grasp the SensorBelt MatchBox (Figure 5-3) with the other hand and then gently
pull on it to disengage. To avoid damage of the SensorBeltConnector do not pull at its cable. To
disconnect a LuMon Connector from a LuMon Belt grasp the LuMon Belt connector plug
(Figure 5-7) with one hand, the LuMon Connector MatchBox (Figure 5-4) with the other hand and
then gently pull with both hands to disengage. To avoid damage of the LuMon Connector and
LuMon Belt do not pull at their cables.
• To continue monitoring re-connect the belt connector to the belt. To avoid impaired data quality
check proper setup (8.4) and select an
Analysis Mode
being adequate
pattern (8.5) initially and at least every 8 hours during monitoring.
10.2 Pausing monitoring with belt removal and/or replacement
To pause/interrupt monitoring for a patient with belt removal proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the reusable belt connector from the disposable, single-patient use belt without
switching the monitor off (see note above). To disconnect a SensorBeltConnector from a SensorBelt
or a LuMon Connector from a LuMon Belt proceed as described in 10.1.
• Remove the belt from the patient.
• Wipe off contact agent/spray residue from the patient with a disposable cloth or tissue.
• If the used belt is still able to be used, with adequate
belt time
, re-apply ContactAgent/LuMon
Contact Spray or NeoContactAgent prior to applying the used belt as described in 8.
• Dispose of the used belt if its
belt time
has expired or if it is soiled or not functioning. Follow local
regulations for disposal of medical waste. To apply a new belt, follow the instructions provided in 8.
For cleaning and disinfection instructions for the LuMon Monitor and belt connector, refer to 11.2.
10.3 Ending monitoring
To end monitoring for a patient, proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the reusable belt connector from the disposable, single-patient use belt. To disconnect a
SensorBeltConnector from a SensorBelt or a LuMon Connector from a LuMon Belt proceed as
described in 10.1.
• Remove the belt from the patient and dispose of the belt according to local regulations for medical
waste.
• Wipe off contact agent/spray residue from the patient with a disposable cloth or tissue.
• If desired, review or export trend data (9.11) for the monitored patient before turning off the monitor.
• Switch the monitor off and perform cleaning and disinfection actions (11.2) on the LuMon Monitor
and belt connector before use on the next patient (7.4).
