ENG - Version 2.3 – P/N 04130.2

User Manual corpuls3

Intended Use

The therapeutic functions of defibrillation, cardioversion and pacer must only be performed with constant monitoring of the patient. Performing the therapeutic functions without eye contact with the patient is not considered to be intended use. If monitoring functions are performed, the patient’s condition must also be regularly monitored even when the alarm function is enabled. Usage other than as intended

The corpuls3 is not intended for  operation in the vicinity of readily inflammable substances,  setup and operation under the influence of strong electromagnetic fields, which occur in the direct vicinity of radio masts, switched-on nuclear magnetic resonance tomography units, high voltage installations and overhead power lines,  operation in the vicinity of therapeutic radiation units (e. g. tumor treatment),  operation in a monoplace hyperbaric chamber (option HBO),  operation in a multiplace hyperbaric chamber with more than 3 barg and/or more than 23 % oxygen concentration (option HBO). Individual modules must not be used without batteries inserted. Defibrillation and cardioversion must not be performed without protective measures (see chapter 5.3.1 Information on the AED Mode, page 69 and 5.4.1 Information on Manual Defibrillation and Cardioversion, page 75):  on a metal surface;  on a wet surface. The defibrillator must only be used for defibrillation and cardioversion and must not be used as a stimulation current device or as a pacer. The pacer may only be used as a transcutaneous pacer. The pacer must not be used as an intracardial defibrillator. The corpuls3 may not be used simultaneously on two or more patients.

Introduction

3.1

Components

The corpuls3 is a portable device with a modular structure which can be used  as a defibrillator/monitor or  as a full patient monitor in its own right.

6

Monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic functions

The corpuls3 provides comprehensive monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic functions for treatment of emergency and intensive-care patients. Especially as part of the resuscitation of emergency patients, defibrillations, cardioversions or pacer therapies can also be performed, in addition to the monitoring of vital parameters. A maximum of six ECG curves can be displayed on the monitor at the same time. A 12-lead ECG function allows the user a comprehensive ECG diagnosis, which can be optionally supplemented by ECG analysis software. Further monitoring functions include oxygen saturation measurement (pulse oximetry), carbon dioxide measurement (capnometry) and temperature measurement, in addition to non-invasive and invasive blood pressure monitoring. The recorded measuring values can be displayed both numerically and as a curve. Configurable alarms draw the user’s attention to current changes in the patient’s condition. All measured values or logs can be printed out on paper.

Documentation functions

The corpuls3 has extensive documentation functions for internal recording of events, alarms and logs. These can be transferred to external systems for further processing and archiving.

Introduction

3.2 Usage options

Radio connection Infrared connection Note

Note

Device Design

The three modules monitoring unit, patient box and defibrillator/pacer can operate via an infrared connection or, if separated, via radio connection. The connection status is shown on the display of the monitoring unit (see Table 4-2, page 36) and the patient box (see Table 4-3, page 39). Communication between the modules in semi-modular and modular use is performed by radio up to a distance of 10 m in open terrain. In the connected mechanically state, the modules communicate via an optical infrared connection. If the radio connection is interrupted, the modules have to be connected to each other mechanically. The corpuls3 switches automatically from radio connection to infrared connection in this case. The antenna of the radio unit in the patient box is located at the top. In case the antenna is shadowed, for example by metallic or metallised objects, the maximal reach of the radio connection may be reduced. This may happen, for example, when the patient box is placed between the patient’s legs on the stretcher. If possible, choose a position for the patient box that allows unimpeded view to the other modules. The following combinations are possible: Device Design

Defibrillator-/pacer unit

User Manual corpuls3

Introduction

3.2.1 Pairing (Connection Authorisation) The modules of the corpuls3 can be connected to form a functional unit by means of two procedures:  Pairing and  Ad-hoc connection The corpuls3 thus provides the option of substituting individual modules of one compact device for individual modules of the same type from another corpuls3. Note

It is not possible to connect a monitoring unit to more than one patient box or one defibrillator/pacer at the same time.

Pairing

Pairing is a connection authorisation that enables the communication between wirelessly connected modules. An ad-hoc connection allows the use of mechanically connected modules without having to perform a pairing beforehand.

Ad-hoc connection Prerequisite

For both procedures the following prerequisites apply: 1. For a pairing, monitoring unit, patient box and defibrillator/pacer have to be equipped with radio modules of the same type (hardware version). 2. If this is not the case, if the hardware version of the radio modules is different (1st and 2nd generation), those modules can only form an ad-hoc connection. 3. For both a pairing and for an ad-hoc connection all modules have to be equipped with an identical software version.

Note

As of July 2011 the corpuls3 comes equipped with a second generation radio module. This new radio module is not compatible with those of the first generation.

Labelling of the radio modules

The corpuls3 modules with the 2nd generation radio module are labelled with a number symbol. This symbol is attached at the following places:  Monitoring unit: at the front side, top left,  Patient box: on top,  Defibrillator/pacer: at the rear side, on top,  Defibrillator/pacer SLIM: at front side, top left,
