Welcome to the Riester RVS-100
Thank you for choosing the Riester RVS-100 for accurate monitoring of vital signs. The Riester RVS-100 is designed to be simple and efficient to use and the RVS-100 features:
automatic patient monitoring modes averaging of multiple BP readings user- programmable monitoring intervals audible and visual patient alarms connection to EMR system
Riester RVS-100 Description and Operation
The Riester RVS-100 vital signs monitor can perform automatic blood pressure, pulse oximetry and body temperature measurements for clinical professionals. For measuring blood pressure, a blood pressure cuff is placed around the patient’s non-dominant upper arm. The cuff is inflated automatically and blood pressure is measured by the oscillometric method—which senses pressure waves in the artery when occluded by pressure in the cuff. Measurement of the frequency of the pressure waves enables heart rate to also be measured. The pulse oximetry function non-invasively measures the patient’s percent oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin using principles of plethysmography via a SpO2 sensor placed on the patient’s finger. Temperature can be measured using an oral/axillary/rectal temperature probe containing a thermistor

General Introduction

1.1 Intended Use
The RVS-100 vital signs monitor is intended to be used for monitoring, displaying, reviewing, storing and sending alarms regarding multiple physiological patient parameters, including Pulse Oxygen Saturation (SpO2), Pulse Rate (PR), Non-invasive Blood
Pressure (NIBP), and Temperature (Temp). The RVS-100 vital signs monitor is intended to be used in outpatient departments, emergency treatment rooms, and low-acuity areas of hospitals, community clinics, private clinics and other medical institutions. It is not intended for helicopter transport, hospital ambulance or home use.

Warning: The monitor is intended for use only by clinical professionals or under their guidance. It must only be used by persons who have received adequate training in its use.
Anyone unauthorized or untrained must not perform any operations on it.

1.2 Restrictions for use

  • Do not use the monitor and the SpO2 sensor during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Induced current could cause burns.

  • Operating high frequency electrosurgical equipment in the vicinity of the monitor may produce interference and cause incorrect measurements.

  • The following factors may influence the accuracy of SPO2 measurements:
    ♦ Exposure to excessive illumination, such as surgical lamps (especially ones with a xenon light source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps or direct sunlight (exposure to excessive illumination can be corrected by covering the sensor with a dark or opaque material);
    ♦ Electromagnetic interference, such as from an MRI device;
    ♦ Excessive patient movement;
    ♦ Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue;
    ♦ Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins (such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin);
    ♦ Incorrect sensor application or use;
    ♦ Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter or intravascular line;
    ♦ Low perfusion;
    ♦ Electrosurgical units.

  • Do not use the SpO2 sensor on the same limb being used for NIBP measurement. This may result in inaccurate SpO2 reading due to blocked blood flow during cuff inflation.

  • Do not measure SpO2 on a finger painted with nail polish. This may result in unreliable measurements.

  • Do not measure NIBP on patients with sickle-cell disease or any condition in which skin damage has occurred or is expected.

  • Use clinical judgment to decide whether to perform frequent Auto BP measurements on patients with severe blood clotting disorders because of the risk of hematoma in the limb fitted with the cuff.

  • Use clinical judgment to decide whether to perform Auto BP measurement on patients with thrombasthemia.

  • Do not use the NIBP cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion or arterial catheter in place. This could cause tissue damage around the catheter when the infusion is slowed or blocked during cuff inflation.

  • NIBP Measurement Limitations: Accurate NIBP measurements cannot be taken when the heart rate is extremely low (less than 40 bpm) or extremely high (greater than 240 bpm) or if the patient is on a heartlung machine.
    Accurate measurement also cannot be taken when the following conditions exist:
    ♦ excessive and continuous patient movement such as shivering or convulsions;
    ♦ difficulty detecting a regular arterial pressure pulse;
    ♦ cardiac arrhythmias;
    ♦ rapid blood pressure changes;
    ♦ severe shock or hypothermia that reduces blood flow to the peripheries;
    ♦ an edematous extremity.

  • MRI may lead to vessel damage;

Patient Monitoring

5.1 NIBP Measurement
The monitor uses the oscillometric method for measuring NIBP. It is applicable for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. It is not applicable for pregnant or pre-eclamptic patients.
The oscillometric method indirectly estimates the systolic and diastolic pressures within the blood vessels by measuring pressure change within the blood pressure cuff. The device senses pressure waves in the artery when occluded by pressure in the cuff and calculates the average pressure.
NIBP measurement is suitable for use during electrosurgery and during the discharge of a cardiac defibrillator according to IEC 80601-2-30.
A physician must determine the clinical significance of the NIBP measurement.

5.1.1 Safety Information
Warnings:

  • Check the patient category before monitoring. Incorrect settings may result in some risk for patient safety. For example, higher alarm-level settings for adults are not suitable for pediatric and neonatal patients.

  • Do not measure NIBP on patients with sickle-cell disease or any condition in which skin damage has occurred or is expected.

  • Use clinical judgment to decide whether to perform frequent Auto BP measurements on patients with severe blood clotting disorders because of the risk of hematoma in the limb fitted with the cuff.

  • Use clinical judgment to decide whether to perform Auto BP measurement on patients with thrombasthemia.

  • Do not use the NIBP cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion or arterial catheter in  place. This could cause tissue damage around the catheter when the infusion is slowed or blocked during cuff inflation.

  • If you doubt the NIBP measurements, check the patient’s vital signs using another device, and then check the monitor.

  • The NIBP measurement function must be calibrated regularly for safe use.

  • The performance of the automated sphygmomanometer can be affected by extremes of temperature, humidity and altitude.

  • Avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing, or the measurement result will be wrong, which may mislead the doctor to make wrong diagnosis, patient may be  hurt.

  • When patients cannot take care of themselves, there must be an operator standing by during auto mode measurement.

  • The environmental or operational factors which can affect the performance of the NIBP module and its BP reading :
    ♦ Avoid compression or restriction of pressure tubes. Air must pass unrestricted through the tubing.
    ♦ The bladder of the cuff is not folded or twisted.
    ♦ A wrong cuff size, and a folded or twisted bladder, can cause inaccurate measurements
    ♦ Do not wrap the cuff too tightly around the limb.

  • Continuously high cuff pressure due to compressed or bent tubing, may have the effect of blood flow interference and may result in harmful injury to the patient.

  • Do not use the cuff over a wound, as this can cause further injury.

  • A pressurized cuff can temporarily cause loss of function of simultaneously used monitoring equipment on the same limb.

  • Do not use the NIBP cuff on the arm of a mastectomy patient, we suggest measuring  blood pressure on their legs.

  • Pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss of function of simultaneously used monitoring ME EQUIPMENT on the same limb.

  • The application of the cuff and its pressurization on any limb where intravascular access, therapy, or an arteriovenous(A-V) shunt is present, temporary interference to blood flow and could result in injury to the patient.

  • Check the operation of the automated sphygmomanometer regularly to make sure that it does not result in prolonged impairment of the circulation of the blood of the patient.

5.1.2 NIBP Measurement Limitations
Accurate NIBP measurements cannot be taken when the heart rate is extremely low (less than 40 bpm) or extremely high (greater than 240 bpm) or if the patient is on a heart-lung machine. Accurate measurement also cannot be taken when the following conditions exist:

  • excessive and continuous patient movement such as shivering or convulsions;
  • difficulty detecting a regular arterial pressure pulse;
  • cardiac arrhythmias;
  • rapid blood pressure changes;
  • severe shock or hypothermia that reduces blood flow to the peripheries;
  • an edematous extremity.

5.1.3 NIBP Measurement Modes
There are four modes of measuring NIBP:

  • Manual: a single measurement on demand.
  • Auto: continuous repeated measurements with a set interval.
  • STAT: rapid series of measurements over a five-minute period. For use only on supervised patients.
  • Averaging: a set number of measurements taken and averaged.

5.1.4 NIBP Monitoring Procedure Preparing to Measure NIBP

  1. Encourage the patient to be still and quiet.
  2. Check the patient category. If you want to change the patient category, select to enter the [Patient Info] menu. Select the desired patient category.
  3. Select the appropriate cuff according to patient size.
    • Check the limb circumference of the patient. (Use the upper arm or thigh.)
    • Select the appropriate cuff. (The applicable limb circumference for the cuff is marked on the cuff). The width of the cuff should be about 40% of the limb circumference (50% for neonates), or 2/3 of the upper arm’s length. The inflatable part of the cuff should be long enough to encircle 50% to 80% of the limb.
    Note:
    • BP measurement accuracy depends on a properly fitted cuff.
    • The following steps should be taken to obtain accurate rou- tine resting blood pressure measurements for the condition of hypertension , including:
  1. Comfortably seated
  2. Legs uncrossed
  3. Feet flat on the floor
  4. Back and arm supported
  5. Middle of the cuff at the level of the right atrium of the heart.
  6. The patient should relax as much as possible and not talk during the measurement procedure.
  7. 5 min should elapse before the first reading is taken;
  8. The operator is suggested standing on the right side of the monitor in normal use.
  1. Confirm the cuff has been entirely deflated.
  2. Connect one end of the BP cable to the cuff air tube and the other end to the monitor’s NIBP connector. Gently push the tip of the BP cable over each socket to click the cable securely in place.
  3. Wrap the cuff snugly around the upper arm or thigh of the patient. On the arm, the bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1 inch above the elbow joint.
    Ensure the Artery Marker “Φ” on the cuff is positioned above artery and that there are no knots in the BP cable. When wrapped around the patient’s arm, the Cuff Index Line should fall within the Range Markers printed on the cuff. If not, select another cuff size. The monitor is designed for use with standard neonatal, pediatric and adult cuffs (including arm and thigh cuffs).
    Note: The cuff should be at heart level to avoid measurement errors. If you cannot position the cuff on a limb at heart level, you may need to make manual adjustments to measurements as follows:
    • If the limb/cuff position is higher than heart level, the BP reading will be lower. Add 0.75mmHg (0.1kPa) to the measurement result for each centimeter of distance between the limb/ cuff and the heart.
    • If the limb/cuff position is lower than heart level, the BP reading will be higher. Subtract 0.75mmHg (0.1kPa) for each centimeter of distance between the limb/cuff and the heart.

5.2 SpO2 measurement
5.2.1 Introduction
The measurement of oxygen saturation of arterial blood (also known as pulse oxygen saturation, or SpO2) adopts the principles of light spectra and volume tracing. The LED emits lights with two specific wavelengths, which are selectively absorbed by  xygenated
hemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin. The optical receptor measures the changes in the light intensity after the light passes the capillary network and estimates the ratio of oxygenated hemoglobin and the total hemoglobin.Riester RVS-100
Vital Signs Monitor - SpO2 measurementWavelengths of the light emitted by the pulse oximeter probe are nominally 660nm for red LED and 940nm for infrared LED.

5.2.2 Safety Information
Warnings:

  • Only use SpO2 sensors specified in this manual. Follow the SpO2 sensor’s instructions for use and adhere to all warnings and cautions.

  • When using Covidien Nellcor SpO2 sensors/cables, please use the enclosed Covidien Nellcor SpO2 sensors/cables instruction manuals.

  • When a trend toward patient deoxygenation is indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by a laboratory co-oximeter to completely understand the patient’s conditions.

  • Do not use the monitor and the SpO2 sensor during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Induced current could cause burns.

  • Prolonged continuous monitoring may increase the risk of unexpected changes in skin characteristics, such as irritation, reddening, blistering or burns. Inspect the sensor site every two hours and move the sensor if the skin quality changes. For neonates, or patients with poor peripheral blood circulation or sensitive skin, inspect the sensor site more frequently.

  • Check the SpO2 sensor and its package for any sign of damage before use. Do not use the sensor if any damage is detected. Contact the manufacturer.

  • Use only SpO2 sensors and extension cables approved for use with this monitor. Do not use damaged sensors or cables. Incompatible or damaged sensors or cables could pose patient burn risk.

  • Do not soak the sensor in water. Avoid contact with moisture to prevent damage.

  • When disposing of any SpO2 probes, please observe all local, state, and federal regulations that relate to the disposal of this product or similar products.

  • Pulse rate measurement is based on the optical detection of a peripheral flow pulse and therefore may not detect certain arrhythmias. The pulse oximeter should not be used as a replacement or substitute for ECG-based arrhythmia analysis.
    Caution: If it is necessary to clip the SpO2 device to the patient, always clip the cable, not the sensor itself. Never use force to pull the sensor cable.
    Note:

  • During SpO2 measurement, a pleth wave will show in the SpO2 display area. This wave does not equal the intensity of the PR signal.

  • The production divergence and drive current of LED influence the range of the peak wavelength of the emitted light by the oxygen probe.

  • The monitor does not provide an automatic self-examination alarm signal. The operator must use a SpO2 simulator for self-test of the device.

  • Functional test cannot be used to assess the accuracy of the monitor.

  • When the displayed SpO2 or pulse rate value is potentially incorrect, the system will show a “?” in the value position.

5.2.3 SpO2 Monitoring Procedure

  1. Selecting SpO2 Sensor: Select a SpO2 sensor that is appropriate for the patient category, weight and application site.
  2. Connecting SpO2 Sensor: Plug the SpO2 sensor cable into the SpO2 connector on the device. (See device diagram in Chapter 1.4.)
  3. Applying SpO2 Sensor: Clean the application site, remove any colored nail polish, and apply the sensor to the patient. Typically, the sensor should be used on the index, middle or ring finger. The fingernail should face the side with the red light.

Warnings:

  • Do not use the SpO2 sensor on the same limb being used for NIBP measurement. This may result in inaccurate SpO2 reading due to blocked blood flow during cuff inflation.
  • Do not measureSpO2 on a finger painted with nail polish. This may result in unreliable measurements.
  •  When using a finger sensor, make sure the fingernail faces the red light.
  • If “Weak Signal” is indicated, check the patient’s condition and move the probe to another position to try to obtain a better signal.

5.2.6 SpO2 Measurement Limitations
If you doubt the SpO2 measurements, check the patient and move the probe to a different finger. The following factors may influence the accuracy of measurements:

  • Exposure to excessive illumination, such as surgical lamps (especially ones with a xenon light source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps or direct sunlight (exposure to excessive illumination can be corrected by covering the sensor with a dark or opaque material);
  • Electromagnetic interference, such as from an MRI device;
  • Excessive patient movement;
  • Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue;
  • Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins (such ascarboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin);
  • Incorrect sensor application or use;
  • Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter or intravascular line;
  • Low perfusion;
  • Electrosurgical units.
    The monitor can be used during defibrillation, but the readings may be inaccurate for a short time.

5.2.7 Riester / Biolight SpO2 Sensors and Extension cables
a) Sensors
Model: 15-100-0013, 15-100-0015
Intended use:
Intended use of the non-invasive pulse oximeter probe is during continuous non-invasive arterial oxygen or hemoglobin saturation measurement or during pulse rate monitoring. The probes may be used in co-ordination with a variety of other equipment of the noninvasive pulse oximeter.
Contraindications:
The probe may be used on the same location for a maximum of 4 hours, provided the location is inspected routinely to ensure skin integrity and correct positioning. Because individual skin condition affects the ability of the skin to tolerate probe placement, it may be necessary to change the probe location more frequently with some patients.
Instruction:
a) Select a suitable location for the probe. The patient’s index finger is the preferred location, alternative recommended locations are middle or ring finger.
b) As shown on figure 2 , place the index finger over the sensor window into the probe with the fingertip against the stop. The probe should be positioned with the cable showing above the finger and hand.

Note: If the probe doesn’t track the pulse reliably, it may be positioned incorrectly. It is possible that the diameter of the finger might be too thick, too thin, or deeply pigmented. Otherwise it might also be too deeply coloured (for example, as a result of externally applied coloring such as nail polish, dye, or pigmented cream) to permit appropriated light transmission. If any of these situations occurs, reposition the probe or choose an alternate probe to be used at a different location.
Warning: The operator or user is responsible for checking compatibility of monitor, probe and cable before use. Otherwise, incompatible components can result in patient injury or inferior performance. Failure to apply the probe properly may cause incorrect measurements. Using in the presence of bright light may result in inaccurate measurements. In such cases, cover the probe location with an opaque material. Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring such as nail polish, dye, or pigmented cream, may lead to inaccurate measurements. Heavily moving fingers of active patients affect and/or may compromise the performance of the probe. The use of the probe is not recommended for such patients. Do not use any tape to secure positioning of the probe or on any fingers directly. Strong venous pulsations may result in inaccurate saturation measurements.

As with other medical devices likewise, do carefully position cables in order to reduce possible patient entanglement or strangulation.
Do not use the probe during MRI scanning. Conducted current may cause burns. The probe may as well affect the MRI image, , and the MRI unit may affect the accuracy of oximeter measurement.
Do not assess the probe’s accuracy only by testing it on a oximetry simulation device.
Do not do NIBP measurement or use other instruments on the same arm as the SpO2 probe. Interruption of flow of blood by an NIBP cuff or special circulatory condition of the patient may result in no pulse found or a loss of pulse.
Do not reprocess or modify the probes. Performance or accuracy of probes may otherwise be affected. .
Do not disassemble or repair probes, as it may result in product damage of operator injury. Such wrongdoings will be regarded as severe product misuse and a breach of warranty and thus result in a complete loss of all warranty claims thereafter.
Disposal of the pulse oximeter probe and extension cable shall comply with laws of the local government. Please contact your local government authorities regarding such relative local rules. .

Intended use / Indications for use
The RVS-100 thermometer module is used for measuring body temperature in the mouth (oral), the anus (rectal) and the armpit (axillary) and thus aids the detection, diagnosis and monitoring of vital body functions.
5.4.1 Introduction
This monitor is equipped with fast temperature measurement capability. Fast temperature measurement uses a pre-heating mode to reach the patient’s body temperature rapidly. It then converts the temperature into electrical signals, which are processed by the monitor and quickly displayed as measurements.
Information about body temperature It is a common misconception that 37 °C is the ’normal’ body temperature. It is actually the case that 37 °C is the average body temperature. Normal body temperature are in a range that varies with age, gender and measuring point.
Furthermore, body temperature fluctuates over the course of the day. It is usually lower in the morning, higher in the afternoon and goes down a little again in the vening. Other factors that affect body temperature include the patient‘s particular activity, metabolic rate or medications taken. The normal body temperature also tends to drop with increasing age.
Normal temperatures are listed in the following table according to the age of the patient and measuring point. Temperatures measured  t different parts of the body, even if they are measured at the same time, must not be directly compared with one another as body temperature differs between measuring points.

5.4.2 Temperature Monitoring Procedure

  1. Select the appropriate measurement sites. Choose between Oral , Axillary or Rectal .

  2. Select the measurement mode. Choose between quick , Cold, or Monitor . For Oral site measurement, only Quick or Cold modes are available. For Axillary or Rectal site measurement, all three modes are available.
    Note:
    • Quick mode is suitable for patients whose body temperature is expected to be in the normal range of between 96.8 degrees F to 100.4 degrees F(36 degrees C to 38 degrees C).
    • Cold Preheat mode is suitable for patients whose temperature is expected to be lower than normal (i.e., 91.4 degrees F, or 33 degrees C), such as those coming out of surgery.
    • Monitor mode is suitable for continuous temperature monitoring. The minimum measuring time of this mode is recommend to be 60s.

  3. Remove the temp probe rapidly from the probe well on the front of the monitor. This temp probe symbol will begin flashing as a reminder to apply a probe cover.

  4. Place the disposable probe cover and position the probe on the patient (see guidance below on proper positioning). The temperature timer symbol will flash while the measurement is completed.
    If using Direct mode, real-time measurement data will appear on the screen continuously.

  5. When the measurement is completed, this probe symbol will flash as a reminder to eject the used disposable probe cover. Eject the probe cover and insert the probe back into the probe well.

Warnings:
a.) Never make a body temperature measurement without new probe covers.
Body temperature measurement without probe covers can give incorrect readings. To avoid infection always use a new probe cover.
b.) Probe
To avoid infection use only the blue probe for taking oral and axillary temperatures. The red probe must only be used for taking rectal temperatures.

Proper Temperature Probe Positioning
Oral Temperature Taking
Insert the probe tip under the tongue on one side or the other. Ask the patient to close their mouth. Hold the probe in place until there is a long beep and the temperature reading is displayed.Riester RVS-100 Vital Signs
Monitor - positioned 2Axillary Temperature Taking
With the patient’s arm uplifted, place the probe tip into the patient’s armpit, directly on the skin. Ask the patient to lower their arm and hold still. Hold the probe perpendicular to the arm until there is a long beep and the temperature reading is displayed.
Rectal Temperature Taking
Apply lubricant to the probe cover and insert it gently into the patient’s rectum only one-half inch to three-fourth inch (12 mm to 19 mm) for adults or one-fourth to one-half inch (6 mm to 13 mm) for children. Hold the probe still until there is a long beep and the temperature reading displays.Riester

  • EU countries except Germany:
    Legal regulations for monitoring instruments apply to all EU countries except Germany.

  • Countries outside the EU:
    For any countries where no legal regulations exist for monitoring instruments, it is recommended to examine the accuracy of measuring instruments in 2-year intervals

  • If the temperature exceeds the measurement range, the alarm will be activated. Check whether the temperature probe is placed on the patient’s appropriate site.

  • Damaged or outdated probes should be repaired or replaced immediately.

5.5 Nurse Call
The Nurse Call function will send a signal to the nurse call system when a patient’s vital signs exceed a pre-set alarm limit. To activate this function, the monitor must be connected to the hospital’s nurse call system.
Please use the provided the nurse-call connection cable.
The Nurse Call function will only operate under these concurrent conditions:

  • The Nurse Call function is active;
  • An alarm condition is occurring; and
  • Alarms have not been paused or silenced.

To set up Nurse Call:

  1. Select [SETTINGS] > [ADVANCED] > [GENERAL] > [OPTIONAL] and then [Enable Nurse Call]
  2. Select [SETTINGS] > [ADVANCED] > [GENERAL] > [ALARM] > [Nurse Call threshold] to set the alarm level at which the nurse will be called (i.e., low, middle or high).
  3. Select [SETTINGS] > [ADVANCED] > [GENERAL] > [ALARM] > [Nurse Call relay type] to set the relay type to be [Normally close] or [Normally open].
  4. Select[SETTINGS] > [ADVANCED] > [GENERAL] > [ALARM] > [Nurse Call trigger mode] to set the trigger mode to be [continual] or [1s pause].
    Warning: The Nurse Call function should not be used as the primary means of patient monitoring. The care team should evaluate alarms in combination with observations of the patient’s symptoms and overall physiological condition.

6. Alarms
Alarms are prompts given by the monitor for medical personnel through visual, audible and other means when either a vital sign appears to be abnormal or a technical problem occurs.

Note:

  • The monitor generates all audible and visual alarms through a speaker, LED lights and the display. When the monitor powers on, the alarm LEDs will light once and the speaker will beep, which indicates that the alarm system is working properly.
  • Alarm settings are saved in real time, and then stored in the memory of the device. After a loss of power, the last stored settings will be shown after restarting the monitor.

Warning: Do not set the alarm limits to extreme values that can render the alarm system useless. Vital signs alarm limits are pre-set by the manufacturer, but be sure to choose clinically appropriate limits for the patient. Only when the selected patient type is different from the last one, the alarm limits will return to factory defaults.

6.1 Alarm Categories
The monitor’s alarms can be classified into three categories: physiologic alarms, technical alarms and prompt messages.
Physiologic alarms: Physiologic alarms are triggered by a monitored parameter value (i.e., the DIA blood pressure value) that violates set alarm limits. Physiologic alarm messages are displayed in the physiologic alarm area.
Technical alarms: Technical alarms are triggered by a device malfunction due to improper operation or system problems. The problems may result in system abnormal operation.
Technical alarm messages are displayed in the technical alarm area.
Prompt messages: As a matter of fact, prompt messages are not alarm messages. Apart from the physiological and technical alarm messages, the monitor will show some message to indicate the system status.

6.2 Alarm Levels
The monitor’s physiologic alarms are classified into three categories according to the severity of the alarm issue.
High level alarms: Indicate that the patient is in a life-threatening situation and an emergency treatment is necessary. This is the highest level alarm.
Medium level alarms: Indicate that the patient’s vital signs appear abnormal and an immediate treatment is required.
Low level alarms: Indicate that the patient’s vital signs appear abnormal and an immediate treatment may be required.
The monitor’s technical alarms are classified into three categories: high level, medium level and low level.
Technical alarm levels are predefined at the factory and can’t be changed by users.
The alarm levels are as follows:

Physiological alarm Alarm level
SpO2 lower alarm limit exceeded High
NIBP SYS high /low Medium
NIBP DIA high /low Medium
NIBP MAP high /low Medium
PR high /low Medium
SpO2 high /low High
TEMP high /low Low
Search timeout High

6.3 Alarm Indicators
When an alarm occurs, the monitor will indicate it through the following means:
Alarm tone: According to the alarm level, alarm sounds of different tones will emit from the speaker.
Alarm Light: According to the alarm level, the alarm LED light on the monitor will flash in a different color and speed.
Alarm message: Alarm messages will be displayed on the screen.
Caution: The exact nature of the alarm depends on the specific alarm level.

6.3.1 Alarm Tones
The device will make the following sounds for different level alarms:

6.3.2 Alarm Lamp
The device has two alarm lamps; one flashes as red/yellow, and the other flashes as cyan. When a physiologic alarm occurs, the alarm levels are indicated in the following visual ways:

Alarm level Visual prompt
High Alarm LED flashes red at 2 Hz intervals.
Medium Alarm LED flashes yellow with 0.5 Hz intervals.
Low Alarm LED lights up yellow without flashing.

When a technical alarm occurs, the alarm levels are indicated in following visual ways:

Alarm level Visual prompt
High Alarm LED flashes red at 2 Hz intervals.
Medium Alarm LED flashes yellow with 0.5 Hz intervals.
Low Alarm LED lights up cyan without flashing.

Caution: When multiple alarms of different levels occur at the same time, the monitor will issue visual and audible alarm indicators for the highest- level issues. If both the low level technical alarm and the low level physiologic alarm occur simultaneously, both of the two corresponding LED lights will be lit, one continuous yellow and the other continuous cyan.

6.3.3 Alarm Messages
The system uses different background colors to distinguish alarm level messages. The background color for different alarm message levels is as follows:
High level alarms: red
Medium level alarms: yellow
Low level alarms: yellow (Physiologic alarm), cyan (technical alarm)
The number of * will indicate the relative alarm level in the message
area as follows:
High level alarms:
Medium level alarms:

Low level alarms:
.

Caution: If several alarms occur, the highest-level alarm message will be displayed first. The latest alarm message will display first when the alarm level of two alarm messages is the same. You can manually change the displayed message in the alarm area
to see other alarm messages.

Battery

8.1 Introduction
The monitor can be fitted with a rechargeable battery to ensure continuous operation in the event of a power outage. The battery requires no special maintenance under normal conditions.
While the monitor is connected to an external power source, the battery will charge, regardless of whether the device is turned on. In the case of a sudden power outage, the monitor will automatically switch to battery power without interruption of measurement.
Battery status can be found at the top right corner of the touch screen.

indicates that the battery is fully charged.
indicates the battery is depleted and needs recharging.
indicates the battery is recharging.
indicates the battery is abnormal.
Battery power lasts for a limited time. When battery power is very low, the monitor will issue a monitor technical alarm. The user should immediately connect the device to a power supply to charge the battery.
Caution: If the monitor is unlikely to be used for an extended time period, remove the battery prior to shipping or storage.

Warnings:

  • Use only batteries specified in this manual.
  • Keep the batteries out of reach of children.
  • Check the battery regularly to guarantee its normal function.
  • Replace the battery at the end of its service life.
  • The battery can only be replaced, maintained by professional personnel specified by Rudolf Riester GmbH. Or the device may not be started up.

8.2 Installing a Battery
The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the monitor.
Follow these steps when installing the battery.

  1. Turn off the monitor and disconnect the power cable and other connected wires and cables.
  2. Open the battery door in the direction indicated on the door label.
  3. Take out the old battery.
  4. Insert the new battery in the direction indicated.
  5. Close the battery door.

8.3 Optimizing Battery Performance
A battery needs at least two optimizing cycles when it is put into use for the first time. A battery cycle is one complete, uninterrupted charge of the battery, followed by a complete, uninterrupted discharge of the battery. A battery should be conditioned in this way regularly to maintain its useful life. In addition to the initial use, ideal times to condition a battery are when it is used or stored for two months or when the battery run time becomes noticeably shorter. To optimize a battery, follow this procedure:

  1. Disconnect the monitor from the patient and stop all monitoring and measuring procedures.
  2. Place the battery in need of optimizing into the battery compartment.
  3. Place the monitor in the charger stand and connect it to AC power supply. Allow the battery to charge uninterrupted for at least 6 hours.
  4. Disconnect the monitor from the AC power supply and allow the monitor to run on battery power until the battery is depleted and the device shuts off.
  5. Return the monitor to the charger stand and connect it to the AC power supply. Allow the battery to charge uninterrupted for at least 6 hours.

8.4 Checking Battery Performance
The performance of a battery may deteriorate over time. To check battery performance, follow this procedure:

  1. Disconnect the monitor from the patient and stop all monitoring and measuring procedures.
  2. Place the monitor in the charger stand and connect it to an AC power supply. Allow the battery to charge uninterrupted for at least 6 hours.
  3. Disconnect AC power and allow the monitor to run on battery power until it shuts off.
  4. Make note of the monitor operating time on battery power. Operating time is a direct indicator of battery performance. If you notice a decline in battery operating time span, you may need to run it through an optimizing cycle or replace it.
    Caution: Battery operating time depends on the configuration and operation of the monitor.
    For example, continuous monitoring of NIBP and SpO2 will deplete the battery faster than occasional vital signs spot checks.

8.5 Disposing of Batteries
Batteries that are damaged or depleted should be replaced and discarded properly. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.
Caution: Battery service life depends on how often the monitor is used and how many features are used. The battery typically can be charged and discharged 300 times.
Warning: Do not disassemble batteries or dispose of them in fire, or cause them to short circuit. They may ignite, explode or leak, causing personal injury.
