1.2.5 SpO2 Operation. The NONIN SpO2 module is automatically detected when plugged in with
the display screen reconfiguring for the SpO2 data.
a. SpO2 Modes of Operation. There are two (2) modes of operation available:
Continuous and Interval.
(1) Continuous Mode of Operation. This mode provides continuous SpO2
readings and waveform data. If no valid readings are obtained, the values are
set to “---” to indicate that they are invalid.
(2) Interval Mode of Operation. This mode extends battery life by momentarily
sampling SpO2 readings and waveform data by turning the SpO2 module on
and off. When in Interval Mode with the module off, the SpO2 data is placed in
a reverse video window to indicate that the data is not current. Normal video
means data updates are active (current). If no valid readings are obtained, the
values are set to “---” to indicate that they are invalid. The interval active period
is extended until a valid reading is obtained.
b. SpO2 Average. This option selects the Saturation and Pulse Rate averaging time. The
SLOW selection averages over a period of eight (8) seconds. The NORMAL selection
averages of a period of four (4) seconds.
1.3 ECG Monitoring. It is recommended that proper elecrode site preparation be completed
prior to placement of electrodes on the patient. It is further recommended that only electrodes
conforming to ANSI/AAMI EC12 are selected and applied to the patient for use with this telemetry
system. Please see the back of the transmitter for a lead placement chart asneeded. In the
configurations mode (See Section 1.2.4) select either 3 lead or 5 lead ECG monitoring as appropriate
for this patient. The back-lit display on this transmitter shuld be used as a guide to achieve good ECG
signal quality (See Section 1.2.2, 1(a) through (d) waveform description and 2(a) through (e) lead
indicators).
1.4 SpO2 Monitoring. Place the VISION TelePak transmitter into the SpO2 mode simply by
attaching the XPod patient cable and 8000A Clip Finger Sensor (or IPod SpO2 sensor) cable to the
transmitter. The SpO2 sensor is auto detected when connected to the transmitter tush turning on the
SpO2 parameter automatically. Attach the sensor to the patient appropriately and SpO2 monitoring
will commence. See Section 1.2.4 to configure O2 MODE and O2 AVG.
1.5 Recording. Holding the Remote Record key for one (1) second will send a
RECORD command to the receiver. The message “RECORD” is shown on the display
screen for two (2) seconds.
1.6 Nurse Call. Holding the Nurse Call key for one (1) second sends a Call
condition to the host and the message “NURSE” is shown on the display screen for as
long as the call condition is active. The call condition remains active until cleared (by
momentarily pressing the Waveform key) or the selected timeout expires. The timeout is user
selectable with timeouts of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 minutes, latching and OFF.
1.7 Powering Down the VISION TelePak. Before powering down the VISION TelePak,
ensure that all leads and cables have been removed from the patient. The power will remain on as long
as the batteries are in the battery compartment; for long term storage or non-use, remove both batteries
from the VISION TelePak.
a. Turning off the VISION TelePak at the Vision Central Station. After powering
down the VISION TelePak, the receiver must be TURNED OFF at the Vision Central
Station to halt lead alarms and display. Perform the following to discontinue VISION
TelePak monitoring at the Vision:
(1) Touch (or click) the appropriate patient window.
(2) When ECG window display appears on the lower screen touch (or click the
Transmitter tab.
(3) Touch (or click) OFF.
