Chapter 2: Intended Use and General Information
2.1 Intended Use
This vital signs monitor is intended to be used in special procedure labs and
other areas of a hospital or clinic where patient monitoring systems are
needed. The monitor package includes 5-lead electrocardiography (ECG),
non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), pulse oximetry (SpO
2
), Respiration Rate
(RR) and temperature (TEMP).
The device permits patient monitoring with adjustable alarm limits as well as
visible and audible alarm signals. The monitor provides fast, reliable
measurement for patients ranging from adult to neonatal.

2.2 Measurement Capabilities
Heart/Pulse Rate
Heart/pulse rate is measured with the ECG, oximetry, and non-invasive blood
pressure (NIBP) parameters. The measured values can be continuously
displayed in the ECG and SpO
2
parameter boxes. Heart/pulse rate can also be
displayed in the NIBP HISTORY, found in the TRENDS menu. You can choose
the source (AUTO, ECG, or SpO
2
) of the heart/pulse rate displayed in the ECG
parameter box. If you choose AUTO, the monitor will determine the best
source depending on the quality of available data and selected source priority.
See Choose the Heart Rate Source in the Chapter of ECG for detailed
information regarding the source of the heart/pulse rate displayed in the ECG
parameter box.
Electrocardiography (ECG)
The monitor provides continuous five-lead ECG processing, with standard lead
selections, and filtering from electrocautery discharge. The ECG measured
value (HR) and primary lead selection are displayed in the ECG parameter box,
and an ECG waveform is continuously displayed.
