User Manual for Multi-parameter Patient Monitor

 Sensor Alarm

The Sensor Alarm signals the interruption of reliable CSI calculation due to corrupted or interrupted EEG. This is

usually caused by the use of diathermia or a faulty sensor connection (high sensor impedance or disconnection of

sensor leads). Should any o these situations occur, the RED Error light (2) will turn on. The CSI is not calculated

during these periods.

7.1.3 CMS Processes

1. Prepare the skin, place and connect sensors to the CSM patient cable.

2. Connect patient cable to the CSM monitor and ensure that mains supply or battery is available.

3. Press the Power On button.

Note: Always select a CSM Link ID (Serial No.) before turning on the CSM monitor. When turn on the CSM

monitor, the CSM Monitor shows a list of CSM Links found, select the one corresponding to the serial

number displays on the right side panel of main unit (with the Event Key (8)), and then press the Set Event

key (6) to accept it. When link has been established the indicator Link will show a constant light.

If CSM Link connected the CSM Link serial number and software version will be shown. “- ” indicates no

CSM Link connected.

7.2 ECG/RESP Monitoring

7.2.1 How to Obtain High Quality ECG and Accurate Heart Rate Value

The electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is primarily a tool for evaluating the electrical events within the heart. The

action potentials of cardiac-muscle cells can be viewed as batteries that cause charge to move throughout the body

fluids. These currents represent the sum of the action potentials occurring simultaneously in many individual cells

and can be detected by recording electrodes at the surface of the skin. The figure below shows the system of the

heart.
