Each input and output connection of the monitor is electrically isolated. Connection of this monitor to other equipment will not increase leakage current.
ECG Warnings, Cautions, and Notes WARNING! PACEMAKER PATIENTS. Rate meters may continue to count the pacemaker rate during occurrences of cardiac arrest or some arrhythmias. Do not rely entirely upon rate meter alarms. Keep pacemaker patients under close surveillance. See this manual for disclosure of the pacemaker pulse rejection capability of this instrument. WARNING! PACEMAKER PATIENTS: If PACE DETECT is not turned on when monitoring pacemaker patients the heart rate readouts derived from the ECG patient connections are likely to display erroneous high or erratic rates. Keep pacemaker patients under close surveillance. For pacemaker patients it may be advisable to select the SpO2 parameter as the primary heart rate source. WARNING! Connect only three-lead or five-lead ECG lead wires from the patient to the ECG patient cable. Do not connect any other signal source to the ECG patient cable. WARNING! False low heart rate indicators or false Asystole calls may result with certain pacemakers because of electrical overshoots. WARNING! Reliable monitoring of pacemaker patients can only occur with PACE DETECT on. WARNING! The pacemaker pulse marker shape and size is not to be diagnostically interpreted. WARNING! Keep pacemaker patients under close observation. Rate detection in the software may continue to count the pacemaker rate during cardiac arrest and/or arrhythmia conditions. Therefore, do not rely solely on rate detection alarms. NOTE! Follow institutional standards when applying ECG electrodes. Silver/Silver Chloride disposable electrodes are strongly recommended to avoid polarization effects that result in large input offset potentials. Use of “squeeze bulb” type electrodes is not recommended. NOTE! Use only standard AAMI three-lead or five lead ECG cables.

Chapter 1: Introduction
NOTE! Line isolation monitor transients may resemble actual cardiac waveforms and thus inhibit heart rate alarms.
Impedance Respiration Warnings, Cautions, and Notes WARNING! This monitor is not for apnea detection. The monitor has not been tested or validated for use in apnea detection. WARNING! Electrodes of dissimilar metals should not be used. WARNING! The monitor may not detect all episodes of inadequate breathing. CAUTION! Ensure conductive parts including electrodes of the patient cable do not come into contact with any conductive surfaces or earth parts. CAUTION! The respiration parameter is disabled when the monitor is in the neonate operating mode. NOTE! Follow institutional standards when applying ECG electrodes. NOTE! The ECG/Respiration cable uses a standard AAMI three-lead or five-lead ECG/Respiration connector. Use only standard AAMI three-lead or five-lead ECG wires. NOTE! The ECG/Respiration patient circuit is electrically isolated. NOTE! The monitor is protected against damage from defibrillator, diathermy, and electrocautery discharge.
Oximetry Warnings, Cautions, and Notes WARNING! Prolonged use or the patient’s condition may require changing the sensor site periodically. Change sensor site and check skin integrity, circulatory status, and correct alignment at least every 4 hours. WARNING! When attaching sensors with Microfoam®1 tape, do not stretch the tape or attach the tape too tightly. Tape applied too tightly may cause inaccurate readings and blisters on the patient’s skin (lack of skin respiration, not heat, causes the blisters). WARNING! Using a damaged sensor may cause inaccurate readings, possibly resulting in patient injury or death. Inspect each sensor. If a sensor appears damaged, do not use it. Use another sensor or contact your authorized repair center for help. WARNING! Using a damaged patient cable may cause inaccurate readings, possibly resulting in patient injury or death. Inspect the patient cable. If the patient cable appears damaged, do not use it. Contact your authorized repair center for help. WARNING! If any of the integrity checks fail, do not attempt to monitor the patient. Use another sensor or patient cable, or contact the equipment dealer for help if necessary. WARNING! Do not autoclave, ethylene oxide sterilize, or immerse the sensors in liquid. Evidence that liquid has been allowed to enter the monitor voids the warranty. WARNING! Use only SpO2 sensors supplied with, or specifically intended for use with, 1 Microfoam is a registered trademark of the 3M Company. Advisor® Operation Manual

Chapter 1: Introduction
this device. CAUTION! Unplug the sensor from the monitor before cleaning or disinfecting. NOTE! Obstructions or dirt on the sensor’s red light or detector may cause a sensor failure. Make sure there are no obstructions and the sensor is clean. NOTE! If the oximeter parameter is being monitored, the pitch of the pulse beep is determined by the SpO2 value. The higher the SpO2 value, the higher the pulse beep pitch, and vice versa. NOTE! SpO2 measurements may be adversely affected in the presence of high ambient light. Shield the sensor area (with a surgical towel, for example) if necessary. NOTE! Dyes introduced into the bloodstream, such as methylene blue, indocyanine green, indigo carmine, patent blue (PBV), and fluorescein may adversely affect the accuracy of the SpO2 reading. NOTE! Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as use of a blood pressure cuff or extremes in systemic vascular resistance, may cause an inability to determine accurate SpO2 and pulse rate readings. NOTE! The low SpO2 alarm limit minimum test value is 80. If an operator changes the low SpO2 alarm limit to a value less than 80, and a power down - power up sequence takes place, a minimum value of 85 takes the place of the operator entered value. NOTE! Remove fingernail polish or false fingernails before applying SpO2 sensors. Fingernail polish or false fingernails may cause inaccurate SpO2 readings.
Non-invasive Blood Pressure Warnings, Cautions and Notes WARNING! Blood pressure measurements may be inaccurate if cuffs and/or hoses, other than those specified by BCI, are used. WARNING! Repeated use of STAT mode for periods longer than 15 minutes should be avoided to reduce the patient’s risk for soft tissue or nerve damage. When using the monitor for long periods of time, select the longest clinically appropriate measurement interval and periodically examine the patient for signs of injury and ensure proper cuff placement. WARNING! Make sure that hoses are not kinked, compressed, or restricted. WARNING! Check that operation of the equipment does not impair the circulation of the monitored patient. WARNING! Blood pressure measurements may not be accurate for patients experiencing arrhythmias. WARNING! Do not verify the Non-Invasive Blood Pressure calibration while the cuff is attached to a patient. CAUTION! To ensure that the unit remains in calibration, perform a calibration verification on a yearly basis. CAUTION! Verify the proper cuff size before each measurement.

Advisor® Operation Manual
Chapter 1: Introduction
CAUTION! Extremity and cuff motion should be minimized during blood pressure determinations. CAUTION! Proper blood pressure cuff size and placement are essential to the accuracy of the blood pressure determination. CAUTION! Any blood pressure recording can be affected by the position of the patient, his or her physiologic condition, and other factors. CAUTION! Blood pressure measurements should be interpreted by a physician. NOTE! There are no user-serviceable adjustments for the Non-Invasive Blood Pressure calibration verification. If the monitor appears to be out of calibration, contact your authorized repair center for help. NOTE! Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by the trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers. AAMI SP10-1992. NOTE! Mean Arterial blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by an intra-arterial blood pressure measurement device as determined by BCI, Inc. NOTE! Clinical validation studies are available upon request.
Invasive BP Warnings, Cautions and Notes WARNING! Avoid conductive connection with any metal parts. NOTE! The IBP ZERO NEEDED message is displayed when the monitor is turned on or when the transducer is connected to the monitor (even if the same transducer is disconnected then reconnected to the monitor). NOTE! Use only invasive pressure transducers and interface cables specifically intended for use with this device and it’s side panel connectors. NOTE! The BP1 and BP2 waveforms must be visible and adjacent in order to be overlaid. NOTE! When BP1 and BP2 are overlaid, the scale settings for BP1 and BP2 are changed to the higher of the two scales. NOTE! Dual channel simulators may affect verification of IP operation. Use only single channel simulators.
Temperature Warnings, Cautions and Notes NOTE! Use only temperature sensors and interface cables specifically intended for use with this device.
Capnograph Warnings, Cautions and Notes WARNING: The capnograph contains no compensation for barometric pressure,

Chapter 1: Introduction
therefore readings in mmHg and kPa are correct only under the pressure at which the capnograph is calibrated. Manual compensation can be made by performing a low cal. CAUTION: Pump motors in the capnograph may adversely affect other medical equipment, e.g. ECG tracings. CAUTION: Use of monitor during continuous nebulized medication delivery, will result in damage to the monitor (not covered by factory warranty). Disconnect the ETCO2 sample line from the patient circuit or power off during medication delivery. NOTE: All user and patient accessible materials are non-toxic. NOTE: During the auto zero calibration (autocal) sampling, the CO2 waveform and digits will disappear for 1-5 seconds. After this, breath detection restarts. This should happen only during extreme temperature changes, and not during normal patient monitoring, or during changes of ambient pressure. NOTE: The auto-zero cal is the similar to a low cal, excluding ambient pressure, so as not to stop the pump.

Pushing the knob selects the highlighted item allowing you to further interact with the menus. Serial Output An RS-232C compatible serial output channel is standard. Analog Output The monitor provides three optional, electrically isolated, analog output channels with a 7pin connector. Power An AC voltage switch, located above the AC receptacle, switches the monitor between 110V and 220V AC line voltage sources. An optional internal rechargeable battery ensures consistent monitor operation during AC line interruption.
Measurement Capabilities Measurement capabilities: • Heart/Pulse Rate: Displays continuous heart/pulse rate value from the best source depending on quality of available data and selected source priority. • ECG: Continuous three-lead or five-lead ECG monitoring, with standard lead selections, filtering from defibrillator and electrocautery discharge (option). Displays lead selection, and alarm limits. Provides pacemaker mode with display of detected pacer marker in waveform. • Impedance Respiration: (if no CO2 monitoring) Displays respiration waveform, respiration rate, and alarm limits. This parameter is NOT available in Neonate mode. • Capnography: Continuous non-invasive monitoring of sidestream end-tidal CO2, inspired CO2, and respiration rate. Displays CO2 waveform, ETCO2, INCO2, and RR measurements with alarm limits. Nitrous oxide compensation is selectable. This parameter is NOT available in Neonate mode. • Oximeter: Continuous non-invasive monitoring of %SpO2 and pulse rate. Displays plethysmogram, pulse strength bargraph, %SpO2 measurements, and alarm limits. A variety of disposable and reusable sensors are available for monitoring patients. • NIBP: Non-invasive measurement of systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure values. Displays NIBP chronology, cuff pressure, mode setting, measured values, and alarm limits. NIBP measurements can be made in automatic, manual or STAT modes. • Invasive Pressure: Two independent channels of invasive pressure monitoring are available to measure systolic, diastolic and mean values for each invasive pressure. Displays measured values, alarm limits, site labels and waveforms. • Temperature: Two independent channels of temperature monitoring, compatible with YSI 400- or 700-series reusable or 4400- or 4700-series disposable temperature sensors. Displays measured values and alarm limits for each channel.
