ECG Monitoring
12. ECG Monitoring
IMPORTANT
Check all cables before operation.
Only use the patient cable supplied with the system.
DO NOT connect any NON-ISOLATED accessories to the system

when connected to a patient.
The system provides an isolated circuit for the ECG capability;

ensure that the conductive parts of the ECG patient cable do not
contact any other conducting parts including ground.
Total leakage currents of the system must not exceed the limits
specified by IEC 60601-2-27:1994
When using ES equipment, do not place the ECG electrodes near

the grounding plate of the ES equipment.
If the patient has a pacemaker, a qualified healthcare professional

must supervise the procedure at all times. The rate meter may
count the 'pacer' rate during an arrest or arrhythmia - in this
situation, DO NOT rely upon the system's alarms.
Check the expiry date of the ECG electrodes, if the date has
expired, discard the electrodes.
12.1 Electrode site preparation
If necessary, shave the area where the electrode is to be placed.
The skin should be abraded slightly with a gauze pad or,

alternatively, commercially available electrode preparation solutions
may be used in place of abrasion.
Clean the area with an alcohol pad to remove all abrading residues
and oils.
Dry the skin.
26
ECG Monitoring
12.2 Adult ECG Electrode placement
There are several sites for positioning ECG electrodes; these are
dependant on the patients' physiological characteristics and condition.
In most cases, ECG signal deficiencies may be improved by

repositioning one or more of the electrodes.
The best monitoring results will be obtained by placing the electrodes

on the chest.
The following diagrams illustrates typical electrode positions for 3 and

5 lead ECG monitoring on adult and 3 lead ECG on neonatal patients.

Respiration Monitoring
13. Respiration Monitoring
IMPORTANT
This system uses a transthoracic method to determine the

respiration rate.
Check all cables before operation.
Only use the patient cable supplied with the system. Respiration
monitoring is achieved using a special patient cable. This cable
does not contain protective resistors found on the standard SC1000
ECG cable.
DO NOT connect any NON-ISOLATED accessories to the system

when connected to a patient.
The system provides an isolated circuit for the RESP capability;

ensure that the conductive parts of the RESP patient cable do not
contact any other conducting parts including ground.
Total leakage currents of the system must not exceed the limits
specified by IEC 60601-2-27:1994
When using ES equipment, do not place the ECG electrodes near

the grounding plate of the ES equipment.
Check the expiry date of the ECG electrodes, if the date has
expired, discard the electrodes.
31
13.1 Respiration electrode placement
Note that the electrode positioning may be optimised for either

transthoracic or transabdominal respiratory monitoring. These
positions will offer the maximum strength for combined respiration
and ECG signals when both parameters are to be monitored.
Proper electrode application is particularly critical when monitoring

respiration. Use the following steps to apply the electrodes.
If necessary, shave the area where the electrode is to be placed
The skin should be abraded

SpO2 Monitoring
14. SpO2 Monitoring
IMPORTANT
The SC1000 series uses an advanced digital pulse oximetry system

supplied by BCI.
The BCI oximetry sensors are indicated for use in continuous non-
invasive monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate
determination.
Only use BCI oximetry sensors with the SC1000 series of monitoring
systems. Using other sensors with this system may cause patient
injury, result in inaccurate readings or damage the system.
Check the sensor at least every 4 to 8 hours and reposition every 24
hours.
Avoid applying the sensor to oedematous or fragile tissue.
Excessive patient movement, ambient light, electromagnetic
interference, dysfunctional haemoglobin, low perfusion, intra-vascular
dyes, nail polish or long or artificial nails may affect the performance
of the sensor and present inaccurate results.
Do not use the sensor if it is damaged, the sensor is contraindicated if
the patient exhibits any reaction to the application of adhesive tape.
Note - The material used in the manufacture of the sensor contain no
natural latex protein.
DO NOT use this equipment in an MRI environment.
The SC1000 is supplied with an Adult re-useable finger probe.

The beep tone alters frequency according to the saturation level -
the higher the saturation level, the higher the pitch.
The 'pleth' bar graph provides the operator with an indication of the
signal strength and therefore, to some extent, the reliability of the
reading.
If the signal strength is low then check that the probe and finger are
free from any material, which may reduce the light strength. Also
ensure that the blood flow to the measuring site is not impeded
resulting in a reduced pulse.

16.1 Connecting the cuff to the SC1000
Connect the hexagonal bayonet-fitting end of the cuff extension

hose to the NIBP socket on the module, push the connector gently
and turn clockwise until it locks.
N.B. Do not force the connector.
The required cuff should be wrapped comfortably around the

patient's limb.
Connect the extension tube via the push in male-to-female
connector device (Luer fitting). Ensure that there are no kinks or
compression restrictions in the tube.
Check the limb concerned to ensure that there is no likelihood of

prolonged impairment of the patient's circulation. Set the
appropriate cuff type, to adult or neonate, and may be selected
using the 'SET' function.
The SC1000 is capable accurately sensing blood pressure on any

portion of the arm or leg, which has sufficient blood flow. This
includes the general regions of the upper arm, lower arm, thigh,
calf, ankle, and arch of foot.
Change cuff placement site every 4 to 6 hours.
Avoid cuff placement which could interfere with infusions.

20.3 Alarm Activation
The alarm will sound when the alarm limits have been exceeded,
unless they have been muted or the alarm suspension is active.
If an alarm has been disabled from the set-up screen, the alarm
OFF symbol will be displayed continuously to the right of the display.
If the area at the bottom of the screen is pressed, all alarms

will be disabled and SUSPEND will be displayed in large letters in
the patient information area.
If the alarm on any function is triggered, an intermittent sharp beep

will be audible. The function digits will also flash indicating which
function or functions are in alarm. For all alarms there is a few
seconds delay, between the condition exceeding the limits and the
alarm being triggered, to eliminate false events.
The alarm priority and tone are determined in the Alarm Setup
menu, Section 20.2 (Restricted Access).
By default, the ASYSTOLE alarm has priority over the other alarms.
When the ASYSTOLE alarm is triggered a warning message is

displayed on screen and a continuous audible tone is sounded.
The APNEA alarm is a long continuous tone by default, that is

activated when the number of breaths per minute drops below 4.
This is accompanied by the word 'APN' flashing on the trace.

Care of your Equipment
23. Care of your Equipment
Although the SC1000 is robust and has been designed to withstand
normal clinical use, the unit contains delicate components such as
the display and the accessories, which should be handled and
treated with care.
It is recommended that the unit and accessories are tested on a

regular basis.
We recommend that the system is included into an annual

calibration programme where the accuracy of the system is
checked against the manufacturers' specifications.
If any part of the system appears to be damaged, the system

should be returned to your service centre for repair.
The system, excluding the display, can be wiped with a soft

disposable cloth dampened with a mild detergent and warm water
solution, avoid the electrical contacts and connectors. Do not allow
any fluid to seep into the system.
Ensure the unit is completely dry before use.
The display can be wiped with a soft dry tissue.
75
Cleaning and Disinfecting
24. Cleaning and Disinfecting
The Monitor
The unit and power lead should be kept clean and checked for
signs of damage. It is recommended that it is wiped clean with a
cloth or tissue dampened with water and detergent.
Check mains power connections weekly and examine outer sheath

of power lead for signs of damage. If signs of damage are found,
consult or refer to a qualified technician for repair.
Functional checks - If the unit is not in constant use, the battery

charge level should be checked monthly and recharged if
necessary.
Recharging a flat battery will take 3 hours and is achieved by

connecting the unit to the mains power.
Observe that the green ' ~ ' indicator and amber "CHG" are
illuminated.
NOTE: The monitor does not have to be running for battery

charging.
Phenolic, detergent based disinfectants containing cationic

surfactants, ammonia based compounds, or antiseptic solutions
such as Steriscol or Hibiscrub should never be used on any part of
the system, as permanent damage will result.
76
Invasive BP equipment
The recommended MEDEX domes are disposable and should NOT
be reused.
The MEDEX transducer is reusable and may be cleaned and/or

sterilised.
For cleaning, use a mild detergent solution to clean blood and other
foreign material from the external surfaces of the transducer and
cable.
For liquid sterilisation, place the cleaned transducer and cable (except
the connector) in a solution of activated dialdehyde, glutaraldehyde or
equivalent. Immerse for a minimum of 10 hours to destroy resistant
pathogenic spores including Clostridium sporogenes and Clostridium
tetani.
To disinfect only, immerse for a minimum of 10 minutes to destroy

viruses and vegetative pathogens.
Using a sterile technique remove the transducer and cable from the
sterilising solution and rinse with sterile water avoiding fluid contact
with the connector. Wrap the transducer in sterile gauze and wrap in
a sterile dressing. Place in sterile wrapping and label 'liquid sterilised'.
SpO2 equipment cleaning

Unplug the device before cleaning or disinfecting. Do not autoclave
or ethylene oxide sterilise, or immerse in any liquid. Clean with
soapy water and dry.
Patient ECG leads
The patient leads should be cleaned with warm water or a neutral

cleaner and wiped dry.
To disinfect use chemical disinfectants containing ethanol (70% -

80%), propanol (70% - 80%) or alderhydes (2% - 4%).
Do not autoclave the patient cable.
Electrical connectors must not be immersed in any fluid
77
Temperature probe cleaning and sterilisation
After use, the probe should be cleaned with warm water and wiped
clean and dry. Sterilisation may be achieved by:
1. Low temperature steam 73C 2C
2. Ethylene oxide
3. Cold sterilisation fluids under medical supervision
Under no circumstances should probes be boiled, autoclaved or
cleaned with chlorhexidine based fluids.
The accessories can be cleaned between uses.
Disinfect sensors and cables by following local infection control
policies or wipe with a wipe or swab dampened with Isopropyl
alcohol 70% w/v.
Cleaning the NiBP cuffs
Gently wipe the cuff with a cloth dampened with a suitable cleaning
solution. Thoroughly wipe off excess cleaning solutions.
Do not allow water to enter into the cuff.
Approved cleaning solutions include: -
Common hospital disinfectants including, Clorox, liquid bleach
(1:10 solution of Clorox /water), isopropyl alcohol. Lysol solution,
Phisorex, Quatricide, Virex and Vesphene.
Cleaning the NiBP Hose
Gently wipe the tube with a cloth dampened with a suitable cleaning
solution (mild detergent solution).
Thoroughly wipe off excess cleaning solutions.
DO NOT use any of the following cleaning solutions as they may
cause permanent damage to the hose assembly: -
Butyl alcohol, Denatured ethanol, Freon, Mild chlorine bleach
solution, Isopropyl alcohol, Trichloroethane, Trichloroethylene,
Acetone, Vesphene II, Enviroquat, Staphene, Misty,
Glutaraldehyde.
