Introduction This directions for use describes the capabilities and operation of the monitor. The information, including the illustrations, covers all configuration options. If your monitor configuration lacks any of these options, some information in this manual might not apply. Before using the monitor, you must familiarize yourself with all warnings and cautions, with the steps to power up the monitor, and with the sections of this directions for use that pertain to your use of the monitor. You must also familiarize yourself with all information that accompanies the accessories you use. Note
Some product features described in this publication might not be available in your country. For the latest information about products and features, please call Welch Allyn Customer Care.
Indications for use The Connex VSM 6000 series of monitors is intended to be used by clinicians and medically qualified personnel for monitoring of neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients for •
noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP)
•
pulse rate (PR)
•
noninvasive functional oxygen saturation of arteriolar hemoglobin (SpO2)
•
body temperature in normal and axillary modes
The most likely locations for patients to be monitored are general medical and surgical floors, general hospital, and alternate care environments. Monitoring can be accomplished on the VSM 6000 series bedside monitor itself, and the VSM 6000 series bedside monitor also can transmit data continuously for secondary remote viewing and alarming (e.g., at a central station). Secondary remote viewing and alarming features are intended to supplement and not replace any patient bedside monitoring procedures. The optional Masimo rainbow® SET Pulse CO-Oximeter™ and accessories are indicated for the continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), pulse rate (PR), total hemoglobin concentration (SpHb®), and/or respiration rate (RRa™). The Masimo rainbow SET Radical-7R™ Pulse CO-Oximeter and accessories are indicated for use with adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients during both motion and no-motion conditions, and for patients who are well or poorly perfused in hospitals and hospital-type facilities. The optional Oridion®module and accessories are intended for the continuous noninvasive measurement and monitoring of carbon dioxide concentration of the expired

2 Introduction
and inspired breath (etCO2 and FiCO2) and respiration rate (RR). It is intended for use with neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients in hospitals and hospital-type facilities. The optional Oridion module also provides the clinician with an Integrated Pulmonary Index™ (IPI). The IPI is based on four parameters provided by the monitor: end-tidal carbon dioxide (etCO2), respiration rate (RR), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and pulse rate (PR). The IPI is a single index of an adult or pediatric patient's ventilatory status displayed on a scale of 1–10, where 10 indicates optimal pulmonary status. IPI monitoring displays a single value that represents the patient's pulmonary parameters and alerts clinicians to changes in the patient's pulmonary status. The IPI is an adjunct to, and is not intended to replace, vital signs monitoring. Optional compatible weight scales (e.g., Health o meter®) can be used for height, weight, and BMI input. The optional EarlySense® (Everon) System is intended for continuous measurement of respiration rate, heart rate, and movement in an automatic contact-less manner, in a hospital or clinic setting. The system is indicated for use in children, adolescents, and adults. The operation of the EarlySense has been studied in children (weight ≥ 10 Kg) and adults (weight <111 Kg) during sleep and resting condition. This product is available for sale only upon the order of a physician or licensed healthcare professional.
Contraindications This system (all configurations) is not intended to be used: •
on patients connected to heart/lung machines
•
on patients being transported outside a healthcare facility
•
within the controlled access area of MRI equipment
•
in a hyperbaric chamber
•
in the presence of flammable anesthetics
•
in the presence of electrocauterization devices
Systems configured with EarlySense are not intended to be used: •
on patients for whom proper positioning cannot be achieved or maintained
•
on patients who do not meet the weight limits tested or specified
