1.2 Safety information


NOTE Points to be noted.

CAUTION Points to be noted to avoid damage to the equipment.

WARNING Points to be noted to avoid injury to the patient and the operator.

Warnings
• Do not rely on the audible alarm alone to monitor patient. During patient monitoring,
selecting a very low volume or completely muting the sound may have catastrophic
results for the patient. The most reliable way to monitor the patient is to perform
manual monitoring in parallel to the correct use of monitoring equipment.
• This multi-parameter patient monitor is intended for use only by medical professionals
in healthcare establishments.
• To avoid electrical shock, do not open any covers by yourself. Service must be carried
out by qualified personnel.
• Use of this device may cause interference on the screens of ultrasound equipment.
This monitor and any ultrasound imaging equipment must be kept as far apart as
possible.
• It is dangerous to expose the electrical contacts and connectors to normal saline, other
liquids or conductive adhesives. Electrical contacts and connectors, such as cable
connectors, power supply and parameter module socket inlet and frame must be kept
clean and dry. These parts must be dried thoroughly if they come into contact with any
liquid. If further eradication is required, please contact your biomedical department or

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 1


Warnings

• This device can only monitor one patient at a time.

• There is the risk of electrical shock if the monitor casing is opened. All servicing and
future upgrading to this equipment must be carried out by personnel trained and
authorized by the manufacturer.

• Always ensure that the device and accessories can function safely and normally before
use.

• Possible explosion hazard if used in the presence of flammable anesthetics or other


flammable substances in combination with air, oxygen-enriched environments, or
nitrous oxide.

• You must customize the alarm setups according to the individual patient situation and
make sure that the alarm sound can be activated when an alarm is triggered.

• Do not touch the patient, operating table, bed or the device during defibrillation.

• Do not use cellular phones in the vicinity of this device. High-level electromagnetic
radiation emitted from such devices may greatly affect the performance of the monitor.

• Devices connected to the monitor shall form an equipotential system (protectively


earthed).
Connect the grounding wire to the equipotential grounding terminal on the main
system. If it is not evident from the instrument specifications whether a particular
instrument combination is hazardous or not, for example due to summation of leakage
currents, the user should consult the manufacturers concerned or an expert in the field
to ensure that the necessary safety of all instruments concerned will not be impaired by
the proposed combination.

• When used with electrosurgery equipment, the doctor or nurse must give top priority to
patient safety.

• Do not place the monitor or external power supply in any position that might cause it to
fall onto the patient. Do not lift the monitor by the power supply cord or patient cable;
use only the handle on the monitor.

• Consult IEC-601-1-1 for system interconnection guidance. The specific requirements


for system interconnection are dependent upon the devices connected to the monitor,
the relative distance of each device from the patient, and the location of the connected
device within the medically-used room containing the monitor. In all circumstances, the
monitor must be connected to a grounded AC power supply. The monitor is referred to
as an IEC 601/F device in the summary of situations table contained in IEC 601-1-1.

• Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with the applicable waste control
regulations, and keep out of reach of children.

• Grounding:
Connect the monitor only to a three-wire, grounded, hospital-grade socket. The three-
pin plug must be inserted into a properly wired three-wire socket; if a three-wire socket
is not available, a qualified electrician must install one in accordance with the
applicable electrical code.
Do not under any circumstances remove the grounding conductor from the power plug.
Do not use extension cords or adapters of any type. The power cord and plug must be
intact and undamaged.

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 17


Chapter 2. Alarms

2.1 Alarms overview

2.1.1 Types of alarm


The alarms can be divided into two types: patient alarms and technical alarms.

Patient alarms: triggered if the patient's physiological parameters exceed the set limits,
e.g. patient’s body temperature exceeds the temperature alarm limit.

Technical alarms: triggered by an abnormality in a certain monitoring function or by a


distortion of monitoring results caused by a failure of the system or sensors, e.g.
disconnection of ECG leads.

2.1.2 Alarm levels


The alarms have three levels: high, medium and low.

The monitor has set levels for technical alarms and patient alarms.

2.1.3 Alarm modes


When an alarm is triggered, the monitor signals the alarm in three ways: audible alarm,
alarm light and descriptive alarm message.

The audible alarms are emitted by the speaker, the visible alarms occur at the LEDs,
and the alarm descriptions are displayed on the screen. The patient alarm is displayed
in the patient alarm information section, while technical alarms are displayed in the
monitor alarm information section.

When a patient alarm is triggered (caused by a measurement parameter exceeding the


alarm limit), the respective alarm limit that has been breached will light up on the
screen. This is in addition to the three means of alarm prompting mentioned above.

If there is “*” in the technical or physiological information section, this means a low-level
alarm. “**” means a medium-level alarm, and the background color of the relevant
section will turn yellow. “***” means a high-level alarm, and the background color of the
relevant section will turn red. For example: “** HR TOO HIGH” indicates a medium-
level alarm.

Patient alarms have 2 kinds of alarm mode: LATCH or Non Latch. LATCH means that
once an alarm has been triggered, the system will continue to indicate the alarm until
manual intervention (such as pushing the “SILENCE” button on the panel). Non Latch
means that the system will stop signaling an alarm once the condition that triggered the
alarm is no longer applicable.

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 18


There are three alarm levels: high, medium and low. These are indicated by using
different lights and sounds, as demonstrated in the following table:

Alarm level Alarm light Characteristics of the audible alarm


High Alarm light flashes red with The audible alarm pattern “honk - honk - honk----
rapid frequency --honk - honk, honk - honk - honk------honk -
honk” sounds every 8 seconds
Medium Alarm light flashes yellow The alarm pattern “honk - honk - honk” sounds
with slow frequency every 25 seconds
Low Alarm light is yellow and The alarm pattern “honk” sounds every
continuous 25 seconds

2.2 Pausing the alarms


If the “PAUSE” key on the control panel is pressed, all audible alarms, alarm lights and
alarm messages are paused. The system enters a suspended alarm state. A
countdown is displayed in the technical alarm section to indicate how much longer the
alarm will be suspended.

Three options can be set for the alarm suspension time: 1 minute, 2 minutes and
3 minutes. To select the desired time, the user must enter the “Alarm Setting” window
and select the suspension time accordingly. If the “PAUSE” key is pressed again, the
system will restore to the normal state.

2.3 Silencing the alarms


Pressing the “SILENCE” key on the control panel will silence the audible alarm and
suspend the alarm light. Pressing the “SILENCE” key again will cancel this silencing of
the alarm, and the audible alarm and alarm lights will be reactivated accordingly,
returning to normal alarm conditions.

If an alarm state still exists while the alarm is silenced, the information segment on the
screen will display this alarm information.

If there is no alarm state triggered while the alarm is silenced, all alarms will be
cancelled.

Attention

When the system is operating in “SILENCE” mode, any newly triggered alarms will cause
the monitor to exit silence mode, and the system will return to normal alarm conditions.

2.4 Alarm Setting


The options below can be set by entering the “Alarm Setting” window:

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 19


1) Alarm Volume: The range is 1 - 10 (10 is the maximum volume).
2) Suspend Time: 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes.
3) Flash: If “On” is selected and there is patient alarm, the corresponding parameter
value will flash on screen to indicate that the parameter has triggered an alarm.
4) Para Alarm: 2 option - LATCH or Non Latch. LATCH means that once an alarm has
been triggered, the system will continue to indicate the alarm until manual
intervention (such as pushing the “SILENCE” button on the panel). Non Latch
means that the system will stop signaling an alarm once the condition that triggered
the alarm is no longer applicable.
5) Alarm Record: If “On” is selected, the recorder will record the alarm event when a
patient alarm occurs; recording will not take place if “Off” is selected.
6) Voice Alarm: If “On” is selected and an alarm is triggered, a human voice alarm will
continuously notify the user; no human voice alarm will be triggered if “Off” is
selected.

Fig. 2-1: Alarm settings

2.5 Alarm limits


Patient alarms are triggered according to the set limits. Various parameter limits are
show in a dark color in the upper left corner of the parameter segment. If the parameter
exceeds these limits, this triggers a patient alarm and the relevant limit value appears
in bright color. For example: the lower limit for heart rate is set at 80. If, like in our
example, the heart rate is 60 bpm, this triggers the alarm “HR TOO LOW”, and the
lower limit of the heart rate (in this case “80”) will appear in a bright color. The
parameter segment will appear as follows:

waves simultaneously or select the recording of one wave while recording of the
other wave is set to “Off”.
2) Record length: there are two options: “continuous” and “8 seconds”. “Continuous”
means that wave output is recorded continuously until the “RECORD” key is
pressed down again.
3) Record period: the time interval between two record outputs. There are 10 options:
Off, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, 50 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3
hours and 4 hours. The recording length is 8 seconds.
4) Record speed: there are two options: “25.0mm/s” and “50.0mm/s”.
5) Record grid: “Off” means non- grid output. “On” means grid output.

3.2 Record type


The monitor can carry out several kinds of types of recording: continuous real-time
recording; 8-second real-time recording; automatic 8-second recording.

3.2.1 Real-time recording


This means that real-time recording of the wave starts when the recording key is
pressed down and stops when the recording key is pressed down again during the
recording process .

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 28


3.2.2 Auto record
The monitor can trigger record output according to the time interval set. The recording
length is 8 seconds.

2) Clear all history data (including trend graphs, trend tables, blood pressure review,
wave review data).

Note

If do not discharge a patient first before admitting a new patient, the new patient’s
measurement data will be saved with the preceding patient's data. The monitor cannot
distinguish the new patient’s data from the data of the previous patient.

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 31


Chapter 5. ECG Monitoring

The ECG measures the electrical activity of the heart and depicts this electrical activity
in wave-form on the monitor, together with the heart rate.

5.1 Connecting ECG electrodes


1) Prepare the patient’s skin before placing the electrode. A good signal at the
electrode provides the monitor with valid information for ECG data processing.
Clean the skin with soap and water (do not use ether and pure alcohol because this
can increase skin impedance) and wipe the skin dry vigorously to increase capillary
blood flow and remove dead skin and fat. If necessary, shave the hairs from the
area to which the electrode is to be attached.
2) Place the electrode on the patient’s body.
3) Connect the ECG lead to the patient cable.

5.2 ECG electrode placement


The positions for ECG electrode placement are as follows:

The RA (right arm) electrode — place in the subclavian area near the right shoulder.
The LA (left arm) electrode — place in the subclavian area near the left shoulder.
The LL (left leg) electrode — place under the left abdomen.
The RL (right leg) electrode — place under the right abdomen.
The V (chest) electrode — place on the chest.

Fig. 5-1: Positioning of electrodes

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 32


Warnings

• When connecting the cables and electrodes, make sure no conductive parts are in
contact with the ground. Verify that all ECG electrodes, including neutral electrodes,
are securely attached to the patient.

• Verify lead fault detection before start of monitoring. Unplug the ECG cable from the
socket, the screen will display the error message “ECG LEAD OFF” and the audible
alarm is activated.

• Use five lead wires. Use only silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) ECG electrodes and
cables that meet AAMI standards.

• The following table shows the standard lead names and colors for Europe and the
United States.

United states Europe


Name of the lead Color Name of the lead Color
RA White R Red
LA Black L Yellow
LL Red F Green
RL Red N or RF Black
V Brown C White

5.3 Connecting ECG leads for surgical patients


The placing of the ECG leads will depend on the type of surgery that is being
performed. For example, with open chest surgery the electrodes may be placed
laterally on the chest or on the back. In the operating room, artifacts can sometimes
affect the ECG waveform due to the use of ESU (Electro Surgical Unit). To reduce this
effect, you can place the electrodes on the right and left shoulders and on the left side
of hypogastrium. Avoid placing the electrodes on the upper arms; otherwise the ECG
waveform will be too weak.

A good ECG wave is characterized as follows:

The QRS wave height is great and narrow with no notches.

The R wave height is big and located completely above the baseline or under.

The amplitude of the P wave and the T wave is smaller than 0.2mV.

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 33


Fig. 5-2: Standard ECG wave

Warnings

• Do not touch the patient, table, bed or the equipment during defibrillation.

• Use only the recommended manufacturer ECG cable for monitoring. Other ECG cables
and leads may cause improper performance and/or provide inadequate protection
during defibrillation.

Note

Interference from a non-earthed device near the patient and ESU interference can cause
inaccuracy of the waveform.

Warning

When using ESU equipment, leads should be placed in a position at equal distance from
ESU electrotome and the grounding plate to avoid cautery. ESU equipment wire and ECG
cable must not be tangled up.

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 34


5.4 ECG settings
Enter the “ECG setting” window by selecting the “ECG Setting” menu, which can be
seen in the following graphic:

Fig. 5-3: ECG settings menu

1) Pacemaker: When it is turned on, the pacing signal is shown as a vertical line
above ECG wave l; when it is turned off, the pacing signal will not be detected.
2) Channel 1 lead, Channel 2 lead: There are 7 leads: I, II, III, AVR, AVL, AVF, V.
3) Channel 1 size, Channel 2 size: There are four sizes: “×0.25”, “×0.5”, “×1”, “×2”.
A 1 millivolt scale is displayed to the right of the ECG wave, the height of which is
in direct ratio with the wave amplitude.
4) Notch: work frequency suppression switch; when it is “On”, it will filter the AC
interference of the ECG signal.
5) Filter: There are 3 filter modes: diagnostic, monitor and surgery.
In “Diagnostic” mode, the ECG wave without filtering is displayed;
In “Monitor” mode, the artifact which causes the false alarm is filtered out;
In “Surgery” mode, artifacts and the interference caused by electrosurgical
equipment can be reduced.
The filter modes are displayed above the ECG wave.
6) Heart volume: the range is from 0 to 10, “0” means that the sound of the
heartbeat is muted, “10” means it is on the maximum volume.
7) Wave speed: There are three levels of the ECG waveform tracing speed to be
chosen: 12.5, 25.0 and 50.0 mm/s.
8) HR source the options are “Auto”, “ECG”, “SpO2”. When “ECG” is selected, HR
and heart sound are from ECG; when “SpO2”is selected, HR and heart sound are
from SpO2; when “Auto” is selected, the patient monitor will automatically detect
the ECG and SpO2 signal. HR will come from ECG when and ECG signal exists,
otherwise it will come from SpO2.
9) ST switch: When it is “On”, ST analysis will be performed; otherwise it will not.

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 35


10) ARR (arrhythmia) switch: When it is “On”, arrhythmia analysis is performed, which
shows the PVC parameters in the parameter area; otherwise, the arrhythmia
analysis isn’t performed, and the PCV parameters are not shown.

Note

When the “Pace” is turned on, arrhythmia related to PVC Premature Ventricular
Contractions (including the PVCs computation), will not be detected; simultaneously, ST
section analysis will not be performed

Warning

Do not touch the patient or the monitor during defibrillation.


In order to ensure patient safety, all leads must be connected to the patient.
When the electrosurgical (ES) equipment is used, position the ECG lead in the middle of
both the ES ground plate and the ES to avoid burning. The cable of the electrosurgical
equipment must not twist with the ECG cable.
When electrosurgical (ES) equipment is used, do not place the electrode on the ground
plate near the electrosurgical equipment. Otherwise, the ECG signal will be disturbed.
If monitoring a patient with a pacemaker, set “Pace” to “On”. If monitoring a patient without
pacemaker, set “Pace” to “Off”.
Regarding pacemaker patients, the pacing switch must be “On”; otherwise, it may
consider the pacing pulse as the normal QRS.

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 36


Chapter 6. Respiration Monitoring

6.1 Principles of respiration measurement


When the human body breathes, chest impedance changes along with the breath. The
monitor receives the breath signal from the chest impedance values from the RA and
LL electrodes on the chest. After amplifying the signal of the impedance between the
electrodes (as a result of the thoracic activity), the breath wave will be displayed on the
screen.

6.2 Placing the electrodes


Connect the electrodes like the way that the heart electrodes are connected in
Chapter 5.1.

6.3 Respiration settings


Choose the “Resp Setting” menu and enter the “Resp Setting” window.

Fig. 6-1: Resp settings

1) Apnea time: This is an alarm to indicate when the patient is not breathing. The
apnea time (time between breaths) can be set between 10 seconds and 40
seconds. If the setting is set to ”Off”, this means that the apnea alarm is off.
2) Wave speed: you can set the wave speed to 6.25mm/s, 12.5mm/s or 25.0 mm/s.
3) Wave size: The user may set the wave amplitude enlargement factor. There are a
total of 5 levels: ×0.25, ×0.5, ×1, ×2, ×4.
4) RR Source: when “ECG” is selected, RR is from ECG leads; when “CO2” is
selected, RR is from the CO2 module and AwRR is displayed in the parameter
area.

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 37


Notes

• Respiration monitoring is not recommended on a patient who moves a lot, as this may
trigger a false alarm.

• Place the RA and LL electrodes on opposite sides of the patient’s body in order to
obtain the best respiration wave. Avoid the liver area and the ventricles of the heart in
the line between the RESP electrodes to prevent cardiac overlay or artifacts from
pulsating blood flow. This is particularly important in neonates.

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 38


Chapter 7. SpO2 Monitoring

Oxygen saturation (SpO2) is the measurement of oxygen saturation in arterial blood; it


is the percentage of hemoglobin bound to oxygen. For example, if 97% of hemoglobin
in arterial red blood cells is bound to oxygen, then this blood has 97% oxygen
saturation and the value reading on the monitor should be 97%.

7.1 Monitoring procedure

Fig. 7-1: Finger sensor placement

1. Switch on the monitor.


2. Attach the sensor to the appropriate site on the patient’s finger.
3. Plug the connector of the sensor extension cable into the SpO2 socket.

Note

Place the SpO2 sensor cable along the back of the patient’s hand. Make sure the
fingernail is just opposite to the light emitted from the sensor.

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 39


7.1.1 Neonatal SpO2 plethysmography measurements
The neonatal SpO2 sensor consists of a Y-shaped SpO2 sensor and its sheath. Insert
the LED and PD ends of the Y-shape SpO2 sensor respectively into the upper and
lower grooves on the sheath (Fig. 7-2: Neonatal arterial oxygen probe (1)Fig. 7-2).
Fig. 7-3 shows the neonatal SpO2 sensor after insertion.

Y-shaped oxygen probe

Fig. 7-2: Neonatal arterial oxygen probe (1)

Fig. 7-3: Neonatal arterial oxygen probe (2)

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 40


7.1.2 Placement of the neonatal oxygen probe
Wind the SpO2 sensor around a hand or foot of a neonatal patient. Hold the sensor,
pull the belt and fit one of its sides with “V” edge into the “V” groove on the
corresponding side of the sheath. Appropriately elongate the belt to about 20mm, and
fit the “V” edge of the other side of the belt into the “V” groove of the other side of the
sheath. Then, loosen the belt. After the “V” edges of the two sides of the belt fit well
into the “V” grooves on the two sides of the sheath, put the belt into the first lock bar to
fasten the belt. See Fig. 7-4. If the belt is too long, you can put it into the second lock
bar. You must position the SpO2 sensor in this way so as to make the photoelectric
component face the correct position. Do not lengthen the belt too much, as this may
lead to inaccurate measurement and severely block blood circulation.

Fig. 7-4: Placement of the neonatal oxygen probe

Note

If the sensor cannot be positioned accurately, this may result in an inaccurate SpO2
reading, or it may even mean that the SpO2 cannot be measured because no pulse is
detected. If this is true, you must position the sensor again.
Excessive patient movement may result in an inaccurate reading. In this situation, you
must keep the patient still or change the site for monitoring in order to reduce the adverse
influence of excessive movement.

Warning

In the event of prolonged and continuous monitoring, you should check the peripheral
circulation and the skin every 2 hours. If any adverse changes take place, you should
change the measurement position in time.
In the event of prolonged and continuous monitoring, you should periodically check the
positioning of the sensor. If the positioning of the sensor moves during monitoring, the
measurement accuracy may be affected.

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 41


7.2 Measurement restrictions
During operation, the following factors may affect the accuracy of the oxygen saturation
measurement:

1) High-frequency electrical jam, such as the interference which is produced by the


monitoring system itself or resulting, for example, from interference from
electrosurgery instruments connected with the system.
2) The blood oxymeter and the blood oxygen sensor must never be used during a
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, as the induced current may cause
burning;
3) Intravenous contrast agent;
4) Patient moving too frequently;
5) External illumination (such as typical office lighting);
6) Sensor installed incorrectly or in contact with the incorrect location on the object;
7) Body temperature (best body temperature should in 28°C - 42 C);
8) Placement of the sensor on an extremity that has a blood pressure cuff, arterial
catheter, or intravascular line
9) Density of the non-functional hemoglobin, such as carbooxyhemoglobin (COHb)
and methemoglobin (MetHb) and so on;
10) Loss of pulse signal can occur when
• The patient is in cardiac arrest or in shock.
• The patient has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia, or
hypothermia.
• There is arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor
11) Significant concentrations of dysfunctional hemoglobin, such as
carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin or
12) Injection of intravascular dye such as indocyanine green or methylene blue.

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 42


7.3 SpO2 settings
Select the “SpO2 Setting” menu and enter the “SpO2 Setting” window.

Fig. 7-5: SpO2 settings

1) Pulse volume: the volume range is 0 to 10. 0 shows that pulse sound is muted; 10
is the maximum volume.
2) Sensitivity: the sensitivity for measuring the oxygen saturation value has three
option: “high”, “medium” and “low”.
3) Wave Speed: the wave scanning velocity has two options to choose between: 12.5
and 25mm/s.
4) Pulse Rate: when se to “On”, the parameter area will show the pulse rate;
otherwise the pulse rate will not be displayed.
5) Wave Mode: when “Line” is selected, the monitor will use line mode to draw the
pleth wave; when “Fill” is selected, the monitor will use fill mode to draw the pleth
wave.

Warning

1) In the presence of carbooxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin or dye dilution chemicals, the


oxygen saturation value may not be accurate.
2) The electric cables of electrosurgical equipment must not become entangled with the
sensor cable in the same place.
3) Do not use the sensor on extremities with arterial catheter or venous syringe
4) Make sure the nail covers the light window. The wire should be on the backside of the
hand.
5) Do not perform SPO2 and NIBP measuring in same arm simultaneously; because
obstruction of blood flow during NIBP measuring may adversely affect the SPO2 value.
6) Prolonged and continuous monitoring may increase jeopardy of unexpected change of
dermal condition such as abnormal sensitivity, erythema, vesicles, pressure necrosis,
and so on. It is especially important to check the sensor placement of neonate and
patient of poor perfusion or immature dermis by light collimation and proper attaching
strictly according to changes of the skin. Check per 2-3 hours the sensor placement

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 43


Warning

and move it when the skin deteriorates. More frequent examinations may be required
for different patients.
7) In the event of prolonged continuous monitoring, inspect the SpO2 measurement, the
peripheral circulation and the condition of the skin about every 2 hours. If the
discovered changes are not good, you should change the SpO2 measurement
promptly. At the same time, check periodically to ensure that the sensor is secure; this
is to avoid changes in the sensor fastness situation caused by the moving and so on,
as such factors can affect the accuracy of the measurement.
8) Inaccurate measurement can be caused by incorrect application or use of an SPO2
sensor; in case of lost measurement sensor has to be relocated.
9) Excessive movement during measurement of SpO2 may result in an inaccurate
measurement. In this case, the patient must be calmed down, and the measurement
sensor must be replaced.

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 44


Chapter 8. NIBP monitoring

8.1 NIBP measurement procedure

Warnings

• Use accessories specified by HEYER only, otherwise the device may not function •
normally.

• Before starting a measurement, verify that you have selected a setting appropriate for
your patient (adult, pediatric or neonatal)
• Do not apply the cuff to a limb that has an intravenous infusion or catheter in place.
This could cause tissue damage around the catheter when the infusion is slowed or
blocked during cuff inflation.

• Make sure that the air tube connecting the blood pressure cuff and the monitor is
neither blocked nor tangled.

Notes

• If blood pressure measurement is to be used as the basis for establishing therapy, this
must be obtained using a different blood pressure measurement method, such as the
cuff/stethoscope auscultation method. Accordingly, the doctor must note that the
values obtained using other methods may differ from those obtained sing the SCALIS.

• NIBP monitoring uses the oscillometric method of measurement. Blood pressure


measurements obtained with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained
clinician using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method and an intra-arterial blood
pressure measurement device, within the limits prescribed by the ANSI/AAMI SP10.

• This equipment is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgical devices.

1) Insert the gas tube into the blood pressure socket of the monitor;
2) Place the blood pressure cuff around the patient’s upper arm or the thigh;
3) Use a suitable size cuff for the patient. Make sure that the symbol Ф is located over
a suitable artery. Make sure that the cuff is not too tight; otherwise this may cause
the limb periphery to change color, or it can even cut off blood supply;
4) Check that the edges of the cuff fall in the range marked <->.If not, swap for a more
appropriate cuff;
5) Make sure that the cuff is deflated completely;
6) Attach the cuff to the gas tube. The body part which is to be measured should
placed at the same horizontal level as the patient’s heart. If this is not possible, use
the following adjustment method to revision the measurement result:
If the cuff is at a higher horizontal level than the heart, add 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) for
each centimeter difference.

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 45


If the cuff is at a lower horizontal level than the heart, reduce the reading by
0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) for each centimeter difference.
7) Make sure that the patient type is correct (the patient type is displayed in the
information panel on the monitor, to the right side of the bed number).If it is
necessary to change the patient type, please enter the “Patient Information”
window and change the “Patient type”.
8) Press down the blood pressure measurement button on the front panel to start the
blood pressure measurement.

Fig. 8-1: Applying the cuff

Notes

• The width of the cuff should be either 40% of the limb circumference (50% for
neonates) or 2/3 of the upper arm length. The inflatable part of the cuff should be long
enough to encircle 50-80% of the limb. The wrong size of cuff can cause erroneous
readings. If there are any doubts about the cuff size, then use a larger cuff.

• For neonatal measurements, the maximum pressure of the cuff is 147mmHg. The
maximum pressure is 140mmHg when the cuff is used normally. The initial inflating
pressure of the cuff is 70mmHg during measurement.

Size of reusable cuff for neonates/children/adults


Patient Type Limb circumference Cuff width Tube

8.2 NIBP measurement limitations
This device uses the oscillometric method for NIBP measurement. This kind of
measurement technique has certain limitations. The user should realize in the following
situations, the measured value may be unreliable, or the time required to measure
pressure may increase, or it may be impossible to perform the measurement.

1) Patient movement: If the patient is moving, trembles or experiences convulsions;


2) Arrhythmia: irregular heart beat caused by arrhythmia;
3) Heart-lung machine: if the patient is connected to a heart-lung machine;
4) Pressure fluctuations: for example, the patient’s blood pressure changes rapidly
while the blood pressure measurement is being performed;
5) Severe shock: for example, the patient is in severe shock or hypothermia;
6) Heart rate very high or low: if the heart rate is lower than 40bpm (heart beat/minute)
or higher than 240bpm (heart beat/minute), it is not possible to perform the blood
pressure measurement;
7) Obese patient: an excessively thick layer of fat can reduce the accuracy of the
measurement, because the fat can prevent the arterial pulse signal from reaching
the cuff.

8.3 NIBP settings

Fig. 8-2: NIBP settings

1) Unit: select the unit of pressure from the options “mmHg” or “kPa”.
2) Mode: there are 3 kinds of measurement mode: manual, automatic, STAT.
In the manual measurement mode, pressing down the blood pressure
measurement button on the control panel will result in a single manual
measurement of blood pressure;
In the automatic measurement mode, pressing down the blood pressure
measurement button on the control panel will result in a single immediate blood
pressure measurement, followed by automatic measurements initiated by the
monitor after a defined period;
In the STAT measurement mode, pressing down the blood pressure measurement
button on the control panel will start continuous measurement for 5 minutes.

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 47


While measuring blood pressure, the user can stop the current blood pressure
measurement at any time by pressing down the blood pressure measurement
button on the control panel.
3) Period: This defines the automatic measurement interval. If the measurement mode
it set to “automatic”, then it will be possible to select a value in the “Period” field.
The following period options are available: 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes,
4 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes,
2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours.
After selecting the time interval, pressing down the blood pressure measurement
button will start the first automatic measurement. In order to stop automatic
measurement, select the “Manual” mode during the interval between measurement.

8.4 Blood pressure calibration


To perform calibration, use a pressure gauge (or mercury sphygmomanometer) with a
tolerance above 1 mmHg after calibration. Select “Noninvasive blood pressure
calibration” in the the “Maintenance” menu to start calibration. If the blood pressure
measurement button is pressed down during calibration, then the system will stop
calibrating.

Connect the pressure gauge and the cuff via a 3-way tube to the blood pressure
trachea jack on the monitor. Set the monitor to the “Calibration” mode, then inflate the
cuff using an air pump. First increase the pressure to 250 mmHg, then slowly deflate.
When the monitor display 200, 150 and 50 mmHg, the disparity between the standard
pressure gauge value and the monitor pressure value should be less than 3 mmHg. If
the value exceeds 3 mmHg, please contact our company’s service technician.

Note

The cuff has to be wrapped around a cylinder of an appropriate size.

Warning

You should calibrate NIBP measurements once every two years (or as required in your
hospital’s maintenance regulations). You should monitor performance according to the
following information.

8.5 Checking for leaks


When the cuff is connected, you can use this function to start inflating the air tubes to
discover whether the airway is in airtight condition or not. If the test is passed, the
system will not give any prompts. If the test is not passed, then a corresponding fault
prompt will appear in the noninvasive blood pressure parameter area.

The air leakage examination process:

1) Connect the cuff to the blood pressure socket on the monitor;

HEYER Scalis – Patient Monitor – Operation Manual Rev. 1.1 48


2) Wrap the cuff around a suitable cylinder;
3) Select “NIBP Pneumatic Test” in the “Service” menu. The noninvasive blood
pressure parameter area will display “Pneumatic test......”, indicating that the
system is starting to carry out a test for air leaks.
4) After about 20 seconds, the system will turn on the valve automatically, indicating
that the test for air leaks is complete;
5) If no prompt appears in the noninvasive blood pressure parameter area, this
indicates that the system does not leak air. If “Pneumatic leak!” is displayed, this
indicates that the air course possibly leaks air. The operator should check for loose
conditions and perform the air leakage test again after confirming that all
connections are OK.

Warning

1) Do not perform noninvasive blood pressure measurement on patients who have the
sickle cell anemia or damaged skin or this will result in injury.
2) Patients with susceptible to blood clots must be clinically assessed before deciding
whether to carry out the automatic blood pressure measurement, because there is a
risk of haematoma at the place where the body and the cuff rub together.
3) Before starting the measurement, you must confirm that the patient type is correct
(adult, pediatric, neonate).
4) Do not attach the cuff to a limb where there is an inravenous infusion or an inserted
syringe driver, as this may cause damage around the syringe driver when the
transfusion reduces speed or stops while cuff if inflating.
5) If noninvasive blood pressure measurement is used on automatic mode for too long,
then the limb with the cuff attached may develop purpura, lack of blood flow and
neuralgia. When monitoring the patient, it is necessary to check the luster, warmth and
sensitivity of limb periphery frequently. If any abnormalities are observed, please stop
the blood pressure measurement immediately.
6) Calibration of the noninvasive blood pressure measurement is supposed to be carried
out one time every year. (Or according to the maintenance regulations of your
hospital).
7) The cuff width should be 40% of the limb circumference (50% for neonates) or the 2/3
of the upper arm length. The length of the cuff inflation part should long enough to
surround 50-80% of the limb. A cuff of inappropriate size can result in an incorrect
reading. If there are any doubt about the cuff size, a bigger cuff should be used in order
to reduce errors.

Chapter 10. History Review
The monitor can store 72 hours of trend data for all of the monitored parameters, and it
can store noninvasive blood pressure measurement data for 1,000 readings. The
