What This Monitor Tracks

How to Use It - Step by Step

1. Power On

• Press the round green power button (bottom-left of the device bezel).
• The monitor runs on mains power (СЕТЬ) or battery (БАТ) - both indicators are shown at the bottom.

2. Connect Patient Sensors

• ECG leads - 4-lead cable to chest/limb electrodes (currently configured for 4 leads)
• SpO2 probe - finger clip or wrap probe to the patient's finger
• NIBP cuff - wrap around upper arm; press the NIBP button on the front panel to start a measurement
• Temperature probe - skin or rectal probe
• Capnography - if needed, via the CAPNO port (button visible on front panel)

3. Set Patient Category

• The monitor is currently in Pediatric mode (visible as "Pediat." at the bottom right of the screen). This adjusts alarm thresholds for a child.
• For an adult, navigate the menu to change the patient category.

4. Set Alarm Limits

• Each parameter has upper and lower alarm limits (e.g., HR: 75-160 bpm; SpO2 high/low shown by yellow bars on the right).
• Access alarm settings through the on-screen menu using the rotary knob (right side of the monitor) or the function buttons (teal buttons on the front panel).

5. Navigate the Screen

• Rotary knob (right side) - scroll through menus and confirm selections.
• 6 teal function buttons on the front panel correspond to on-screen labels. The visible ones include CAPNO, NIBP, FREEZE (freeze waveform), and a speaker/alarm icon.
• The FREEZE button pauses the waveform display for closer inspection.

6. NIBP (Blood Pressure) Measurement

• Press the NIBP button on the front panel to start an automatic cuff inflation cycle.
• The current reading shows 126/70 (101) - systolic/diastolic (mean).
• You can set automatic interval measurements through the menu.

7. Address the "SENSOR RESET!" Alert

• The screen currently shows a "SENSOR RESET!" warning in the middle. This typically means a sensor (likely SpO2 or another probe) has been disconnected or needs to be reattached. Reconnect the relevant sensor and the alert should clear.

8. ECG Waveform Interpretation

• The top channel shows the ECG trace at 25mm/s, 1mV scale.
• ST segment changes are automatically calculated.
• Lead selection and gain can be adjusted through the on-screen ECG menu.

Important Notes

• The date/time shows 06:26:28 / 12/04/03 (bottom-left) - verify the clock is correctly set.
• The ESU indicator (top right area) means electrosurgical unit interference protection is active - useful during surgery.
• A yellow alarm triangle is visible at the top, indicating a non-critical alarm is active. Check which parameter triggered it.
• Since the mode is Pediatric, ensure the correct age/weight category is selected in the patient profile for accurate alarm thresholds.
