Introduction Microstream® Monitors

Handheld monitors based on the Microstream® technology are available as capnographs and as dual capnograph/pulse oximeter units. They are referred to in this document as monitors or capnographs, depending on the context. The instructions in this manual apply to both types of monitors, with some utilities only available for one type of monitor. The monitors collect EtCO2, FiCO2, Respiratory Rate, SpO2, and Pulse Rate real time and trend value data. Data collected by the monitor can be transferred to any of the devices listed below (subject to limitations described in the body of this manual). During communication with all types of devices, the monitor continues to function normally. Microstream® handheld monitors can connect to any of the following devices: A detailed description of the connection process with each of these devices appears in this document.

•

Seiko DPU-414 printer

•

Personal Computer

•

Analog devices such as sleep recorders

•

Bernoulli® /Oxinet® III hospital data collection systems

•

Nurse Call systems

•

Warnings

WARNING:

When connecting the monitor to another instrument, verify the instrument’s proper operation before clinical use. Refer to the instrument’s manual for full instructions. For further questions, contact your local distributor.

WARNING:

Do not connect the monitor to a printer or PC unless using the Communication Adapter Kit provided by the manufacturer. The kit is an optional accessory.

WARNING:

When using the printer/PC with main line power, it is recommended to use a medical grade power supply complying with the following standards: EN60601-1, UL 60601-1, CSA C22.2, and No. 601.1-M90. If the power supply is not medical grade, the printer must be placed at least 1.5 meters from the patient environment in order to comply with standard EN60601-1-2.

1.3.

Monitor Software

Only monitors with software version 1.21 or higher have memory capability to download data. To check your software version, look in the upper right hand corner of the initialization screen during the power-on self-test.

Figure 1. Initialization Screen The handheld capnograph has a 14 hour memory capability and the handheld capnograph/pulse oximeter has an 8 hour memory capability.

Printer Interface Introduction

Monitor-printer communication is available both for capnographyonly devices and for capnographs/pulse oximeters. The printer is connected to the monitor via the Communication Adapter Kit using the interface cables provided. For further information, see Chapter 2 Communication Adapter Kit on page 9.

WARNING:

For printing monitor data, only use the Seiko DPU-414 printer. For further information regarding use of the Seiko DPU-414 printer, refer to its Operation Manual.

WARNING:

When using the printer/PC with main line power, it is recommended to use a medical grade power supply complying with the following standards: EN60601-1, UL 60601-1, CSA C22.2, and No. 601.1-M90. If the power supply is not medical grade, the printer must be placed at least 1.5 meters from the patient environment in order to comply with standard EN60601-1-2.

3.2. Configuring the Seiko DPU-414 Printer The monitor and the Seiko DPU-414 printer must be configured properly before printing will be successful. Set or check the printer settings (DIP SW) when:

Continue?

Push ‘On-line SW’

Write?

Push ‘Paper feed SW’

Do you want to change the DIP SW settings?

If Yes, then press the ON LINE button. If No, then press the FEED button to save and exit. The message, “DIP SW setting complete!!” will appear.

3.

Change the DIP SW settings, using Table 4. Dip Switch Settings, below as a guide for the required parameter settings for DIP SW-1, DIP SW-2, and DIP SW-3.

4.

To set the setting to ON, press the ON LINE button once. To set the setting to OFF, press the FEED button once.

Note:

If you make an error for one of the settings, turn the printer OFF when you reach the prompt: Continue? … (as described in Table 3. DIP Switch Prompts, above.)

5.

Then turn the printer ON and restart the process.

6.

When the settings are set as required, push the ON LINE button on the printer.
