Ultraview Care Network
17-6
Intended Use
As an option, on adult patients, additional abnormal cardiac rhythms, such as
ventricular runs, tachycardia, and ST segment deviations can be detected. The
Ultraview Digital Telemetry System also provides a means for the episodic
monitoring of NIBP signals to detect abnormal events such as high and low blood
pressure. Finally, it provides a means for both continuous and episodic monitoring
of blood oxygen saturation signals in order to detect oxygen desaturation caused
by abnormal pulmonary/circulatory functions.
The Spacelabs Medical 90341, 90343, and 90347 Ultraview Digital Telemetry
Systems are intended for use with either adult or neonatal patients in a hospital
environment. When the NIBP option is selected in the 90343 configuration, the
NIBP feature is to be used with adult patients only.
Transmitters
The transmitter is a small, battery-powered device carried by the patient that
monitors ECG activity and SpO
2
/NIBP (90343 only) data, and transmits this
information to the telemetry receiver module.
• The 90341 transmits two leads of ECG and uses up to five lead wires. Two
leads may be displayed simultaneously.
• The 90343 and 90347 transmit four leads of ECG and use up to five lead
wires. However, only two leads may be displayed simultaneously.
• The 90343 is also capable of transmitting numerical NIBP and SpO
2
data.
This data is displayed simultaneously with that of the ECG waveform data.
Each telemetry channel requires its own transmitter operating on a unique radio
frequency. Channel receivers are tuned from the Ultraview monitor touchscreen to
receive the available transmitter frequencies.
!
• Episodic monitoring of NIBP values and continuous and
episodic monitoring of blood oxygen saturation values are only
supported in conjunction with ECG monitoring. SpO
2
and NIBP
alarms are inhibited by ECG leads-off condition.
WARNING:
• The Ultraview Digital Telemetry transmitters are
contraindicated for use with other medical instrumentation
(e.g., respiration monitors using impedance
pneumography, electrocautery, etc.) that source electrical
current through the patient. Further, telemetry monitoring
is contraindicated for the Operating Room environment.
!
• Operation of this equipment may be subject to licensing
requirements by your local telecommunications authority.
Please check with your Spacelabs Field Service Engineer.
