1.4 Product security

The patient monitoring software incorporates an assortment of security features designed to
allow a flexible approach to safe and secure implementation, focusing on the principles of
confidentiality, integrity, and availability. These features assist you in using the system in a
manner that protects patient privacy and security in your setting, and also addresses
expectations for the environment where the system will be used.
1.4.1 Security features

Access control
Access control is the overall mechanism used to determine and enforce the following:
• Who has access
• How individuals gain access
• When access is permitted
• What information may be accessed
Other than clinical and service applications, access to other subsystems (for example
bootloader) is restricted. The clinical and service application interfaces have a role-based
access control (for example, biomed and clinical). A user may log into these interfaces to
perform operations that are limited to the generic user. See the user and technical manuals for
detailed information on available features.
Authentication
Authentication is the process of proving individual identity, and is a key element in an access
control system. In the clinical and service applications, there are certain features that require
user authentication. To access these features, the user must log into the clinical and service
applications with a valid username and password.
Authorization
Authorization is the process of granting and revoking access to information, and is another key
element in an access control system. Although primarily an administrative process that is
driven by an organization’s policies and procedures, the patient monitor contains features that
will help implement and enforce an organization’s method. The applications have an
authorization mechanism to provide information to the user.
Audit
The ability to record and examine system activity is crucial to a successful information security
program, as well as a regulatory requirement in most environments. The patient monitor stores
system logs.
1-11

Malicious software protection

Vigilant defense on many levels is required to keep systems free from compromise by
malicious software. Effective protection requires cooperation and partnership between GE and
our customers.
The following product features contribute to defense against malicious software:
• Device design and configuration (hardening)
The patient monitor has been hardened through the restriction and removal of user
access to core operating system functionality. In addition, unneeded functionality has
been removed or restricted.
• Antivirus software
To provide seamless real-time patient monitoring, the patient monitor does not have
antivirus software.
• Security updates and patching processes
Security updates and patches cannot be applied to the product without going through
GE’s vigorous software verification and validation process. Any software update needs
will be communicated by GE.
1.4.2 Security operations

Network security
GE requires that the MC port of the patient monitor be connected to a physically or virtually
dedicated CARESCAPE Network MC, S/5 Network or HL7 Network, isolated from all other
networks.
The monitor uses a defense-in-depth approach protecting the monitor from unauthorized
access via the network. This layered approach leverages internal software firewall and network
isolation.
1.4.3 Product change management

GE has rigorous software verification and validation processes. Any software update needs will
be communicated by GE. The patient monitoring system, including all aspects of software,
should be used as it was intended by GE.

2.1 Introduction
The monitor build up a freely configurable modular system. The architecture is designed to
enable different module combinations so that the user is able to get the desirable parameter
and feature set. This modular approach makes it possible to add new features when they are
needed.
2.2 Bus structure

The operation of monitor is based on two communication channels, the CPU bus and module
bus. All units, including the modules, receive power from the same power supply, which is an
integral part of the monitor frame.
NAND
Ethernet
Flash
DATA BUS
AT91SA
USB HOSE RS485
M7s256
SDRAM
AT91 ARM IIC BUS Sound
Address bus
LCD LCD DATA BUS
Figure 1 General bus structure of monitor

The CPU bus is a communication channel used only for internal data transfer. It is based on the
AT91 ARM local bus. Data and address are transferred on this 32 bit wide bus using the CPU
clock frequency.
The module bus is for the parameter modules. The bus is based on the industry standard
RS-485, which uses a differential serial method to transfer data. The module bus uses a 500
kbps data transfer rate.
The RS-485 type of serial communication supports so-called multidrop or party line
connections. This means that all parameter modules connected to the module bus use exactly
the same lines for communication. The advantage of this is that all bus connectors are
identical and the modules can be connected in any order and position.
1-13

2.3 Distributed processing

This is a multiprocessor system. All parameter modules have their own microprocessor, which
performs functions such as waveform filtering, parameter related computing and pneumatic
control, etc. At the same time the main CPU performs higher level tasks such as trending and
alarm control. While the parameter modules and CPU are performing their tasks, the UPI
(Universal Peripheral Interface) microprocessor handles all functions needed to transfer data
between the parameter modules and the CPU.
This kind of parallel processing gives one major advantage to centralized processing. When
new parameter modules are added to the system, the processing power is increased. As a
result, the system does not slow down when new features are added.
2.4 Module communication

The communication master controlling data transfers between the CPU and parameter
modules is called UPI processor. It sends data to each connected module 100 times a second.
Modules respond to each data request immediately by sending a data package, whose length
depends on the type of the module. This communication protocol ensures that each module
receives and sends data every 10 ms. If a module does not respond to data requests, the UPI
processor presumes that the module is disconnected.
The data transfered on USB bus between main CPU and UPI processor.

Figure 4 General structure of parameter modules with patient isolation

The detailed structure of a parameter module depends on the specific needs for each
individual parameter. However, some common parts are used in the parameter modules. The
electronics inside the module is usually divided into isolated (floating) and non-isolated
sections. Typically, the non-isolated section consists of buffers to interface the parameter
module to the module bus while the rest of the electronics is located in the isolated section. The
isolated section includes the microcontroller together with memory components, the front-end
analog electronics (amplifiers, etc.) and sensor drivers.
2.6 Software loading

The program memory on the CPU board is loaded with monitor software and selected
language files at the factory. The software is used for running all the functions that are
integrated into the CPU board. For service upgrade main software and language files, please
refer to the 2062416-001: B40/B20 Patient Monitor Software download instruction.
How to do cold start?

The patient monitor performs a cold start, if there is over 15 minutes from the previous power
off. You can perform a cold start by 2 methods:
• Press ON/OFF button to turn off the monitor, waiting for 15 minutes to turn on the
monitor. Or,
• Press ON/OFF button for about 15 seconds (until the words “monitor is shutting
downing...“ disappear) to turn off the monitor. Then turn on the monitor.
NOTE: All the patient data and monitor settings will be lost after cold start.

All parameter boards are connected together via module bus flex board connecting voltage
and module communication, the module communicates with frame through RS-485 bus.
4.2.2 Signals and isolation barrier

The communication signals transfer over the isolation barrier by using high isolation voltage
(6kV) opto isolators.
4.2.3 Power supply section

The power for the electronics on the floating part of the STP and the ECG boards is made on
each board with the switching power supplies connected to a high voltage isolated
transformer. The switching power supplies on the STP and ECG boards are synchronized to the
frequency, about 172.8 kHz of the switching power supply on the NIBP board. The NIBP board
supplies non-isolated 5 V to the ECG and STP boards. The module uses only Vmod 15V +/- 3%
of the frame. The other voltages of the measuring boards are made by the switching power
supplies and regulators or the linear regulators. Each measuring board is protected against
overloading with PTC type automatic fuses.

Signal processing
Two signals from the pressure transducers are amplified and sent to the A/D converter. After
the converter, digitized signals are sent to the microprocessor for data processing.
The NIBP board is controlled with an ARM7 microprocessor at 16 MHz oscillator frequency.
Memory
The NIBP program memory (processor flash memory) size is 256k x 8. The processor has 64
kBytes RAM. The EEPROM size is 8K x 8 and it is used to store the calibration values for the
pressure transducers, the pulse valve constants gained during measurements, the PC board
identification, and the module serial number.
Software control
The software controls valves and a pump. In addition to the individual on/off signals for each
component there is a common power switch for the valves and the pump that can be used at
pump/valve failures.
Safety circuit
The NIBP board is equipped with an independent safety circuit to disconnect supply voltages
from the pump and the valves if the cuff has been pressurized longer than the preset
maximum measurement time, or if the pressure of the cuff is inflated over the specified
pressure limit. The maximum measurement time values and pressure limits for different
measurement modes have been specified in the technical specification section of this manual.

deflating the cuff in single fault case, i.e. to prevent too long a measurement time or too
high an inflation pressure of the cuff.
9. Main pressure sensor; for measuring the pressure of the blood pressure cuff and the
pressure fluctuations caused by arterial wall movement.

Power supply section of the NIBP board

All connections are established via a 10-pin connector (male). The module needs a +15 V (dirty)
power supply to operate. The supply voltage Vmod 15V +/- 3% is generated in the power
supply section of the monitor. The other voltages needed for the operation of the NIBP
measurement are made on the NIBP board.
The NIBP power supply synchronizes the ECG and STP isolation power and supplies
non-isolated 5 V to the ECG and STP board.

ECG input unit

The ECG input unit consists of the front panel connector and the ECG input connector board
with the high voltage protection resistors. The connector for the ECG cable is a green 11-pin
rectangle shaped connector.
Input protection and filtering

The input protection is implemented with high voltage protection resistors in the ECG input unit
and with protection diodes in the ECG board. The input filtering for ECG measurement is done
with passive RC filtering.
ECG preamplifiers
The buffer amplifiers are used for each lead. The “Leads off” detection is implemented by
measuring the output level of the input buffer amplifiers with the A/D converter of the CPU. The
ECG signals are measured using differential amplifiers.
1-29

ECG amplifiers and baseline restoration

The function of the ECG amplifiers and baseline restoration is to amplify the signal and to
restore the baseline of the signal in the middle of the display after the change of the signal
level, e.g. after the change of the DC offset voltage.
Pacemaker detection
Pacer detection has been made by using four slew rate detector circuits. The pacer detection
amplifiers have been realized at the front of the slew rate detectors independently of the ECG
measuring channels.
Respiration impedance supply

The 31.25 kHz sine wave generator is used as the respiration measurement signal supply.
Analog switches are used for connecting the sine wave to the ECG leads to be measured.
Respiration impedance amplifiers

Buffer amplifiers are used in respiration measurement. Analog switches are used for selecting
the measurement leads. There are also additional amplifiers for increasing the respiration
signal gain. When ECG measurement is 5-lead, the respiration measurement is always done
between R and F, independently on the ECG lead selection. When ECG measurement is 3-lead,
then the respiration measurement is happened at the same lead as the ECG measurement (I, II
or III).
ECG CPU
The CPU is a 16 bit H8/3052 single-chip microcomputer. It contains 128 kbytes of flash memory
and 4 kbytes of RAM. The clock frequency is 16 MHz.
RS485 communication
The communication to the CPU board of the monitor uses RS485 protocol. The RS485 driver
circuits are optically isolated from the processor of the module.
Power supply
The ECG board has a driver-controlled half-bridge switching power supply with 5 kV isolation.
The supply voltages have been regulated with linear regulators.
ECG filtering
The monitor have three ECG filtering modes:
MONITORING 0.5 to 40 Hz
DIAGNOSTIC 0.05 to 150 Hz
ST FILTER 0.05 to 40 Hz
The purpose of filtering is to reduce high frequency noise and low frequency (e.g. respiratory)
movement artifacts.
The monitor filter is used in normal monitoring. The diagnostic filter is used if more accurate
diagnostic information is needed. The ST filter gives more accurate information of ST segment,
but reduces high frequency noise.
The high-pass filters 0.5 Hz and 0.05 Hz are done with software. The monitor sends a command
to the hemodynamic module determining which of the corner frequencies 0.5 Hz or 0.05 Hz is
to be used.
The 50 Hz and 60 Hz reject filters are both low-pass filters with zero at 50 Hz or 60 Hz
correspondingly. They are software based filters used for the mains supply filtering.
In diagnostic mode the upper frequency is 150 Hz and it is limited by software.

4.2.6 STP board

STP module measures SpO2, two channels of temperatures and two channels of invasive blood
pressures.
The SpO2 measurement is made optically with an infrared light, a red light sources, and a
photosensitive detector. The SpO2 value and Pulse Rate are calculated based on the signals,
which are measured with the photosensitive detector in the SpO2 sensor. There are three
configurations of SpO2: GE SpO2, Masimo SpO2 and Nellcor SpO2. There are four kinds of STP
parameter board:
− GE SpO2 board
− STP board, integrated GE SpO2, Temperature and pressure
− TP board, integrated Temperature and pressure, communicated with Masimo OEM SpO2
through UART port to get SpO2 data and send to host.
− TP board, integrated Temperature and pressure, communicated with Nellcor OEM SpO2
through UART port to get SpO2 data and send to host.
The temperature measurement is designed for use with YSI-400 series NTC sensors.
The Invasive Pressure measurement is designed for use with the bridge type medical pressure
sensors.

The NTC-resistor value in the probe depends on the patient’s temperature. It is measured with
the following principle described below.
The constant current source is supplied about 38 μA current through the temperature sensor
(YSI 400-series NTC resistor). The constant current is caused a voltage over the temperature
sensor (NTC resistor). The voltage over the temperature sensor is amplified in a differential
amplifier stage. The amplified voltage is transferred to a controller of the STP board through an

Invasive blood pressure measurement unit

An isolated +5 V voltage is supplied to the pressure transducer. The differential voltage, which
depends on the pressure and the supplied voltage, is calculated from the bridge connection
(see the formula below).
Uout = Uin × pressure × 5 μV, where Uin is 5 V
 Uout = 25 μV × pressure [mmHg]
Pressure amplification is realized in the instrumentation amplifier. The gain of the amplifier is
set to keep the level of the signal transferred to the A/D converter within the measurement
range even when there are circumstantial offsets or offsets caused by the transducer. There is
a filter before the amplifier to attenuate high frequency disturbances.

LED control signals
The D/A converters of the microcontroller on the STP board set the LED intensity adjustment
values for the infrared and red LEDs of the SpO2 probe. The microcontroller on the STP board
switches ON (to the adjusted intensity) and OFF the SpO2 probe LEDs according to the
predetermined sequence.
LED driving circuit

Differential amplifiers measure the LED currents (LED current indication) of the SpO2 probe over
the shunt resistors placed in the LED current paths. The LED driving voltages (LED voltage
indication) are measured from the driver circuitry. The LED driving circuits also have MOSFET
transistor matrix to enable the use of different probe configurations.
Measured signal preamplification

The preamplifier is a bipolar/single-ended current-to-voltage converter with adjustable gain. A

4.4 Measurement principle

4.4.1 NIBP
NIBP (Non-Invasive Blood Pressure) is an indirect method for measuring blood pressure.
The NIBP parameter conforms to EN1060-1:1995/A2:2009 Specification for Non-invasive
sphygmomanometers.
The NIBP measurement is performed according to the oscillometric measuring principle. The
cuff is inflated with a pressure slightly higher than the presumed systolic pressure, and deflated
at a speed based on the patient’s pulse, collecting data from the oscillations caused by the
pulsating artery. Based on these oscillations, values for systolic, mean, and diastolic pressures
are calculated.
The following parts are necessary for the NIBP measurement:
• hemo module
• twin hose (adult or infant model)
• blood pressure cuffs (various sizes)
4.4.2 ECG
Electrocardiography analyzes the electrical activity of the heart by measuring the electrical
potential produced with electrodes placed on the surface of the body.
ECG reflects:
• electrical activity of the heart
• normal/abnormal function of the heart
• effects of anesthesia on heart function
• effects of surgery on heart function
See the “User's Guide” or the “User’s Reference Manual” for electrodes’ positions and other
information.
4.4.3 Pulse oximetry

A pulse oximeter measures the light absorption of blood at two wavelengths, one in the near
infrared (about 940 nm) and the other in the red region (about 660 nm) of the light spectrum.
These wavelengths are emitted by LEDs in the SpO2 probe, the light is transmitted through
peripheral tissue and is finally detected by a PIN-diode opposite the LEDs in the probe. The
pulse oximeter derives the oxygen saturation (SpO2) using an empirically determined
relationship between the relative absorption at the two wavelengths and the arterial oxygen
saturation SaO2.
In order to measure the arterial saturation accurately, pulse oximeters use the component of
light absorption giving variations synchronous with heart beat as primary information on the
arterial saturation.
A general limitation of pulse oximetry is that due to the use of only two wavelengths, only two
hemoglobin species can be discriminated by the measurement.
The modern pulse oximeters are empirically calibrated either against fractional saturation
SaO2frac;
1-38

HbO2
SaO2 frac =
HbO2 + Hb + Dyshemoglo bin Formula 1
or against functional saturation SaO2func;
HbO 2
SaO 2 func =
HbO 2 + Hb Formula 2
Functional saturation is more insensitive to changes of carboxyhemoglobin and
methemoglobin concentrations in blood.
The oxygen saturation percentage SpO2 measured by the Datex-Ohmeda module is calibrated
against functional saturation SaO2func. The advantage of this method is that the accuracy of
SpO2 measurement relative to SaO2func can be maintained even at rather high concentrations
of carboxyhemoglobin in blood. Independent of the calibration method, pulse oximeters are
not able to correctly measure oxygen content of the arterial blood at elevated
carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin levels.
Plethysmographic pulse wave

The plethysmographic waveform is derived from the IR signal and reflects the blood pulsation
at the measuring site. Thus the amplitude of the waveform represents the perfusion.
Pulse rate
The pulse rate calculation is done by peak detection of the plethysmographic pulse wave. The
signals are filtered to reduce noise and checked to separate artifacts.

Summary of clinical studies used to establish the SpO2 accuracy claims

NOTE: The pulse oximeter equipment measurements are statistically distributed, only about
two-thirds of pulse oximeter equipment measurements can be expected to fall within ±Arms of
the value measured by a CO-oximeter. The CO-oximeter should have a SaO2 accuracy of 1% (1
standard deviation) or better over the range of which the manufacturer makes SpO2 accuracy
claims. A controlled desaturation study supporting a claimed range of SpO2 accuracy from 70
to 100% SaO2 can be supported with SaO2 data collected over the range of 73 to 97% SaO2.
Nellcor Oximax Technology with Oximax sensors
Measurement modules using Nellcor Oximax Technology with Oximax sensors have been
validated for no motion accuracy in controlled hypoxia studies with healthy nonsmoking adult
volunteers over the specified saturation SpO2 range(s). Pulse oximeter SpO2 readings were
compared to SaO2 values of drawn blood samples measured by hemoximetry. Subjects used
to validate SpO2 measurement accuracies were healthy and recruited from the local
population. Subjects comprised both adult men and women and spanned a range of skin
pigmentations. Because scatter and bias of pulse oximeter SpO2 and blood SaO2 comparisons
commonly increase as the saturation decreases, and accuracy specifications are calculated
from data spanning the stated range, different accuracy values may result when describing
partially overlapping ranges. When sensors are used on neonatal subjects as recommended,
the specified accuracy range is increased by ± 1 digit, as compared to adult usage, to account
for the theoretical effect on oximeter measurements of fetal hemoglobin in neonatal blood.
Masimo SET Technology with LNOP and LNCS sensors
Measurement modules using Masimo SET Technology with LNOP and LNCS sensors have been
validated for no motion accuracy in human blood studies on healthy adult volunteers in
induced hypoxia studies in the range of 70-100% SpO2 against a laboratory co-oximeter and
ECG monitor. Subjects comprised both adult men and women and spanned a range of skin
pigmentations. One percent was added to accuracies for neonatal/infant sensors to account
for accuracy variation due to properties of fetal hemoglobin. Refer to the directions for use of
the Masimo SET sensors.

GE Trusignal Technology sensors

Measurement modules using GE Trusignal Technology with OxyTip+/Trusignal sensors have
been validated for no motion accuracy in controlled hypoxia studies with healthy nonsmoking
adult volunteers over the specified saturation SpO2 range(s). Pulse oximeter SpO2 readings
were compared to SaO2 values of drawn blood samples measured by hemoximetry. Subjects
comprised both adult men and women and spanned a range of skin pigmentations.
GE Oxy-AF and GE Oxy-SE sensors have been validated for neonatal accuracy. The subject
demographics included 28 neonatals and 1 infant (15 females and 14 males). The subjects
ranged in age from newborn to 37 days old. The weights ranged from 560 to 3060 g. The skin
tones included in the study were light to dark. For neonatal study, the Arms of the collected
convenience samples are 2.7, Oxy-AF sensor in the SaO2 range of 87-100% collected 52 data
points, Oxy-SE sensor in the SaO2 range of 81-100% collected 53 data points.
Test methods used to establish the accuracy claims during low perfusion
Nellcor Oximax Technology with Oximax sensors have been validated for SpO2 low perfusion
accuracy in bench top testing using Nellcor's PS II simulator with signal strength setting of
0.03% modulation and oxygen saturation levels of 70 to 100% at a pulse rate of 90 BPM.
Nellcor Oximax Technology with Oximax sensors have been validated for low perfusion pulse
rate accuracy in bench top testing using Nellcor's PS II simulator at a simulated low perfusion
level of 0.10% modulation in the pulse rate range of 40 to 250 beats per minutes (BPM) at a
SpO2 of 95%.
Masimo SET Technology with LNOP and LNCS sensors have been validated for low perfusion
accuracy in bench top testing against Biotek Index 2 Simulator and Masimo's simulator with
signal strength setting of greater than 0.02% and a % transmission of greater than 5% for
saturation ranging from 70%-100%. One percent was added to accuracies for neonatal/infant
sensors to account for accuracy variation due to properties of fetal hemoglobin.
Test methods used to establish the accuracy claims during motion

Masimo SET Technology with LNOP and LNCS sensors have been validated for motion
accuracy in human blood studies on healthy adult volunteers in induced hypoxia studies while
performing rubbing and tapping motions, at 2 to 4 Hz at an amplitude of 1 to 2 cm and
non-repetitive motion between 1 to 5 Hz at an amplitude of 2 to 3 cm in the range of 70% to
100% SpO2 compared against a laboratory COoximeter and ECG monitor. The variation equals
plus or minus one standard deviation, which encompasses 68% of the population. One percent
was added to accuracies for neonatal/infant sensors to account for accuracy variation due to
properties of fetal hemoglobin.
NOTE: Accuracy during motion has not been specified for Masimo SET sensors LNOP TC-I, LNCS
TC-I and LNCS TF-I.
Measurement modules using GE Trusignal Technology with TS-AF and TS-AP sensors have
been validated for motion accuracy in controlled hypoxia studies with healthy non-smoking
adult volunteers over the specified saturation SpO2 range(s). The following motion types were
used: mechanically induced 3 Hz tapping motion at an amplitude of 1-2 cm, patient induced
non-repetitive rubbing motion, and patient induced non-repetitive hand motion in supine
1-41

position. Pulse oximeter Sp02 readings were compared to SaO2 values of drawn blood samples
measured by CO-oximetry. Subjects comprised both adult men and women and spanned a
range of skin pigmentations.

4.4.4 Temperature
The temperature is measured by a probe whose resistance varies when the temperature
changes, called NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) resistor.
The resistance can be measured by two complementary methods:
• Applying a constant voltage across the resistor and measuring the current that flows
through it.
• Applying a constant current through the resistor and measuring the voltage that is
generated across it.
Hemo module uses the constant current method. The NTC-resistor is connected in series with a
normal resistor and a constant current is applied through them. The temperature dependent
voltage can be detected at the junction of the resistors, thus producing the temperature signal
from the patient. The signal is amplified by analog amplifiers and further processed by digital
electronics.
4.4.5 Invasive blood pressure

To measure invasive blood pressure, a catheter is inserted into an artery or vein. The invasive
pressure setup, consisting of a connecting tubing, a pressure transducer, an intravenous bag
of normal saline, all connected together by stopcocks, is attached to the catheter. The
transducer is placed at the same level with the heart, and is electrically zeroed.
The transducer is a piezo-resistive device that converts the pressure signal to a voltage. The
monitor interprets the voltage signal so that pressure data and pressure waveforms can be
displayed.
4.4.6 Respiration
Impedance respiration is measured across the thorax between ECG electrodes. The respiration
signal is made by supplying current between the electrodes and by measuring the differential
current from the electrodes. The signal measured is the impedance change caused by
breathing. The respiration rate is calculated from these impedance changes, and the
respiration waveform is displayed on the screen.
1-42

Description of test method, data rate and method of ET-calculation

The module uses concentration waveforms with data rate of 25Hz to calculate end-tidal (ET)
gas readings.
The module finds the time instant of the highest CO2 concentration in breath. Concentration at
that instant is the ET CO2 reading. Because nitrous oxide and anesthetc agents are measured
by the same sensor as CO2, the ET-readings of those gases are obtained directly at the time
instant of ET CO2. For calculating ET-reading of O2 is then determined as O2-concentration at
the time instant of ET CO2. If no breaths are detected for a given time (20s, for example), an
apnea situation is triggered. During apnea, the ET values are updated every two seconds to the
current concentration of each gas.
The rated respiration rate range and the corresponding end-tidal gas reading accuracy were
tested with reference gases of known concentrations. The test gases ware fed to the gas
sampling system of the module through on electrically actuated valve with very low internal
volume. Depending on its actuation status, the valve directed either room air or a test gas to
the gas sampling line. The desired respiration rates were set by the electrical actuating times of
the valve.
The measurement accuracy of the end-tidal gas readings was tested using gas sampling lines
of 3 meter length, connected to the gas sample port on the D-fend Pro water trap. The gas
sampled to the sampling line was switched from room air to the test gases using on electrically
actuated valve with low internal dead space to generate step changes in the gas
concentrations. The electric actuating signal of the valve was generated using a highly
accurate singal generator to accurately control the simulated respiration rate.
The electronic sampling rate of the gas sensor signals is 25Hz, equaling a new data point on
the gas waveform traces every 40 milliseconds.

a Instead of the test bodies included in the safety test body kit, other applicable test
bodies with all pins connected together may be used.
Perform electrical safety tests using an electrical safety analyzer per IEC 60601-1, UL 60601-1,
EN 60601-1 or CSA C22.2 No. 601.1. The schematics in the section provide a general
understanding of the test equipment. Actual configuration of test equipment may vary.
The patient monitor being tested should be placed on an insulating surface.
NOTE: Before proceeding, make sure that all test equipment is properly calibrated, maintained
and functioning.
NOTE: Refer to the instructions delivered with the safety analyzer to perform each test.
NOTE: GE recommends that the qualified personnel performing the tests should record the test
results of each electrical safety test, for example by using the installation / maintenance check
forms included in this manual.
System setup
These instructions are intended for every component in the system. Ensure that all system
components are properly connected to the patient monitor as described in chapter “2.
Hardware installation”.
2.2 Power Outlet Test

Verify that the power outlet is wired correctly per the country’s electrical code standard before
starting the following electrical safety tests. The results of the following tests will be inaccurate
unless a properly wired power outlet is used. Use only non-isolated power outlets when
performing safety tests.
3-3

2.3 Power cord and plug

Verify the power cord being used with the patient monitor is good. The following are a couple
of things to check for in this regard:
• Inspect the power cord for wear or damage regularly. If damage is suspected, test for
continuity through each conductor of the power cord connector.
• Verify line, neutral, and earth conductors are properly connected to the power cord plug
and are not short-circuited. Replace the power cord, as necessary with a
regulatory-approved cord for the country of use.

WARNING Use only AC power cords recommended or manufactured by GE.
2.4 Ground (earth) integrity

Listed below are two methods for checking the ground (earth) integrity, “Ground Continuity
Test” and “Impedance of Protective Earth Connection.” These tests determine whether the
device's exposed metal and power inlet's earth (ground) connection has a power ground fault
condition.
Perform the in accordance with your local regulations.
Refer to the instructions contained with the safety analyzer to perform each test.
2.4.1 Ground Continuity Test

The measuring device (MD) in the diagram below may be a DMM or part of a safety analyzer.
NOTE: The measuring device (MD) represents the network and voltage measuring instrument
and its frequency characteristics per IEC 60601-1.
3-4

Acceptance criteria:
• For equipment without a power supply cord, the impedance between the protective earth
terminal and any accessible metal part which is protectively earthed shall not exceed 0.1
ohms.
• For equipment with a power supply cord, the impedance between the protective earth
pin in the mains plug and any accessible metal part which is protectively earthed shall
not exceed 0.2 ohms.
2.4.2 Impedance of Protective Earth Connection

This test, unlike a ground continuity test, will also stress the ground system by using special
ground bond testers.
This test normally is only required as a manufacturing production test to receive safety agency
compliance. Some country agencies do require this test after field equipment repairs (i.e.,
Germany’s DIN VDE 0751 standards). Consult your country/local safety agency if in question.
Check compliance as follows:
(1) A current of 25A from a current source with a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz with a no-load
voltage not exceeding 6 V is passed for at least 5 seconds, but no more than 10 seconds,
through the protective earth terminal or the protective earth pin in the mains plug and
each accessible metal part which could become live in case of failure in basic insulation.
(2) The voltage drop between the parts described is measured and the impedance
determined from the current and voltage drop. It shall not exceed the values indicated.
When taking this measurement, move the unit’s power cord around. There should be no
fluctuations in resistance.

• For equipment without a power supply cord, the impedance between the protective earth
terminal any accessible metal part which is protectively earthed shall not exceed 0.1
Ohms.
• For equipment with a power supply cord, the impedance between the protective earth
pin in the mains plug and any accessible metal part which is protectively earthed shall
not exceed 0.2 ohms.
2.5 Earth leakage current test

This test measures the current leakage flowing from the mains part through or across the
insulation into the protective earth conductor of the device under test.
Perform this test both in Normal Condition (NC) and in a Single Fault Condition (SFC), where one
of the supply conductors is open at a time. Perform the test with normal and reverse polarity.

4.3 Monitor battery maintenance
The lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery is a rechargeable battery containing lithium-ion cells. Each
battery contains an integrated electronic fuel gauge and a safety protection circuit.
The following are facts about lithium-ion battery technology:
• The battery discharges on its own, even when it is not installed in the equipment. This
discharge is the result of the lithium-ion cells and the bias current required for the
integrated electronics.
• The capacity loss of the battery degrades significantly at higher temperatures.
• As the battery ages, the full-charge capacity of the battery degrades and is permanently
lost. As a result, the amount of charge that is stored and available for use is reduced.
4.3.1 Use recommendations

GE recommends the following methods to improve battery performance:
− Location — Position the equipment in a location that does not artificially increase the
operating temperature of the batteries.
− Conditioning guideline — Condition the battery when a ‘Condition Battery X’ message is
shown on the monitor screen. The condition cycle recalibrates the electronic fuel gauge.
4.3.2 Storage recommendations

GE recommends storing the battery outside of the device at a temperature between 20°C to
25°C (68°F to 77°F).
4.3.3 Test the battery charge

Before installing a battery, verify the battery’s state of charge. Press the green TEST button on
the battery. The number of charge level indicator LEDs that illuminate indicates the
approximate charge remaining in the battery.
− Four LEDs illuminated: 75% – 100% of full-charge capacity.
− Three LEDs illuminated: 50% – 74.9% of full-charge capacity.
− Two LEDs illuminated: 25% – 49.9% of full-charge capacity.
− One LED illuminated: 10% – 24.9% of full-charge capacity.
− One LED flashing: < 10% of full-charge capacity remaining.
4.3.4 Charge the battery

The battery charges whenever it is installed into the patient monitor and the patient monitor is
connected to an AC power source.
The battery is charging both when the patient monitor is turned on and turn off. Battery is
charging as long as the orange battery charging indicator LED is lit.
3-22

4.3.5 Condition the battery

Battery conditioning is needed if the ‘Condition Battery X’ message is displayed.
Condition the battery by fully discharging and recharging the battery twice according to the
following procedure:
NOTE: The patient monitor must be in a discharged state during battery conditioning.
Disconnect any acquisition modules from the patient monitor if connected.
1. Turn on the patient monitor. Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Leave the
patient monitor on until the battery is fully discharged and the patient monitor turns off
automatically.
NOTE: Ignore the ‘Battery Low’ and ‘Battery Empty’ messages when discharging the battery.
2. Reconnect the power cord to the wall outlet and turn on the patient monitor. Leave the
patient monitor on until the battery is fully recharged and the orange battery charging
indicator LED turns off.
3. Repeat the steps 1 and 2 once.
The battery is now conditioned and ready for use. However if the ‘Condition Battery X’
message is still shown on the screen, replace the battery.
4.3.6 Replace the battery

Replace the battery in the following situations:
− If the ‘Replace Battery X’ message is displayed. This message indicates that the
full-charge capacity of the used battery has considerably degraded compared to the
design capacity of a new battery.
Remove the battery from the monitor and install a new battery according to the procedure in
section "Installing the batteries" on page 2-3.
NOTE: Dispose of the battery according to local, state or country laws.

The monitor starts counting these items at power up and resets to zero at power off. The
values may also be reset when a module is attached to the monitor frame and be set to 32769
or continuous counting may be started when the module is removed from the monitor frame.
The nonzero values do not indicate a failure, but the continuous counting (more than 5 per
second) or value 32769 indicates either a serial communication failure or a module not in
place. Also failures in other modules may cause these numbers to rise or be set to 32769.

The monitor starts counting these items at power up and resets to zero at power off. The nonzero
values do not indicate a failure, but the continuous counting (more than 5 per second) indicates
either a serial communication failure, or a module not in place. Also other modules can cause
communication errors that cause these numbers rise.
ROM indicates whether the checksum in the EPROM is in accordance with the one the software has
calculated.
EEPROM indicates if the values stored in the permanent memory are valid. The state is either OK,
Fail or ? (module not in place or a communication error).

Calibration Check: After the calibration check is AD6 5
AD7 -1505
selected (ON), the module zeroes the pressure
transducers at the beginning of the calibration
check. Do not pump pressure until the text ‘Zeroed’
appears in the NIBP digit field or the zeroing will fail.
After the zeroing is done, manually pump pressure
into the module and make sure that the same
pressure values are shown both on the display and 2 RAM OK
on the manometer. Pressure of both pressure 0 ROM OK
channels B1 and B2 are shown. The pressure values 0 EEPROM OK
are automatically zero-compensated, so the
readings of B1 and B2 should be the same as the manometer readings.
Protection: Software calibration protection (ON/OFF). Select OFF when calibrating.
How to calibrate
NOTE: Perform NIBP Calibration Check first to evaluate if calibration is needed or not.
NOTE: Both transducers B1 and B2 will be calibrated simultaneously.
NOTE: The module must be in the frame during the whole procedure.
NOTE: Calibration selection is available only when protection is OFF.
1. Change the protection setting from ON to OFF to enable the Calibrate selection - the
color of the Calibrate selection changes from grey to white.
2. Zeroing:
− Disconnect the NIBP hose from the module connector.
− Select Calibrate and push the Trim Knob.
NOTE: Messages ‘Zeroing’ and ‘Zeroed’ is shown in the NIBP message field and next to the
Calibrate selection momentarily. After this, a pressure bar will appear beside the menu.
3. Calibration:
− Connect the NIBP hose to the module connector.
− Connect an external manometer with a pump to both tubes of the hose.
− Pump about 200 mmHg pressure.
− Verify that both pressure values, B1 and B2, shown in the prompt field of the
calibration menu match the manometer reading. If not, adjust the by turning the
Trim KnobTrim Knob.
− Press Trim Knob to complete the calibration.

NOTE: Messages ‘Calibrating’ and ‘Calibrated’ are shown in the NIBP message field and next to
the Calibrate selection.
NOTE: When calibrating NIBP, always change the displayed pressure value slightly with the
Trim Knob, even in cases where the value would be correct. For example, change the value one
step higher and then back one step lower. The ‘Calibrated’ text should appear in the display.
This ensures that the calibration procedure is correctly registered and stored by the module.
4. Change the Protection setting from OFF to ON to disable Calibrate selection - the color of
the Calibrate selection changes from white to grey.

6 Set/Test
The system contains a watchdog circuitry, which needs refreshment at every 10 seconds. If the
refreshment did not occur, the watchdog will reset the main CPU.
The purpose of the watchdog is to restart the monitor, if there was a serious malfunction. This
feature is useful in two cases: when the main CPU is not able to control the monitor, or when
the CPU controls the monitor but detects a serious malfunction. Watchdog tests check proper
functionality of the watchdog in various conditions.
Watchdog test ensures directly that the watchdog

functions properly. Choosing this test prevents the
watchdog from refreshing and shows running Set / Test
seconds with an accuracy of 0.1 seconds. ----------------------------
The test should have the following result when the Watchdog
watchdog is working properly: The monitor will ----------------------------

2.8 Handling and storage of display component

Handling of display component and protective window
If the Display component surface becomes dusty, wipe it gently with absorbent cotton,
chamois or other soft material. If necessary, breathe onto the display surface and wipe
immediately. The display surface may also be cleaned using a small amount of normal hexane.
Do not use acetone, toluene or alcohol because they cause chemical damage to the polarizer.
1. Wipe off saliva and water drops as soon as possible. Their prolonged contact with the
polarizer cause deformations and color fading.
2. Do not open the component case because internal circuits are sensitive to electrostatic
discharges.
Placing a spare part Display component or a display shield into use:
Peel off the protective film slowly (in more than 10 seconds) from the display or protective
window surface. Fast peeling may generate enough static electricity to destroy the Display
component.
Storaging an display component as a spare part for a long period
1. Store the display in a dark place. Do not expose it to sunlight or fluorescent light. Keep the
temperature between -30 °C and 85 °C / -22 °F and 185 °F at 5% to 95% humidity.
2. The polarizer surface should not come into contact with any other object. It is
recommended that the display unit is stored in the container in which it was originally
shipped.

1.1 Introduction
This chapter provides information for the maintenance and service of the E-miniC module. The
module is a single-width plug-in module designed for use with the GE modular monitors.
The E-miniC module provides airway measurements.
Letter C in the module name stands for CO2.
NOTE: E-miniC is intended for patients weighing over 5kg (11lb).

The E-miniC module, is designed for use with VSP-B or later versions respectively.
Equipment safety symbols
- When displayed on the E-miniC module, indicates that airway gases should
be calibrated every six months in normal use and every two months in
continuous use.

1.2.1 CO2 measurement
E-MiniC is a side stream gas analyzer, measuring real time concentrations of CO2. It is a non
dispersive infrared analyzer that measures absorption of the gas sample using an optical
narrow band filter.
7-1

The infrared radiation detector is thermopile.

Concentration of CO2 is calculated from absorption measured at 4.2 to 4.3 μm.

Product overview
1.3.1 Gas sampling system

The sampling system draws a gas sample to the analyzer at a fixed rate.
The gas sampling system samples the measured air to the module, and removes water and
impurities from it. A sampling line is connected to the water trap. The pump draws gas through
the sampling line to the gas measuring unit. After the measurement, the gas is exhausted from
the sample gas out connector.
The sample flow is nominally 150 ml/min.
Figure 3 MiniC block diagram
Mini D-fendTM
The sample is drawn through the sampling line. The gas then enters the module through the
water trap, where it is divided into two flows, a main flow and a side flow. The main flow goes
into the analyzer. This flow is separated from the patient side by a hydrophobic filter. The side
flow creates a slight subatmospheric pressure within the Mini D-fend water trap which causes
fluid removed by the hydrophobic filter to collect in the bottle.
Zero valve
The main flow passes through a magnetic valve before proceeding to the analyzer. This valve is
activated to establish the zero point for the MiniC measuring unit. When the valve is activated,
room air is drawn through a filter into the internal system and the gas sensor.
7-3

NafionTM tube 1)
A Nafion tube is used between the water trap and the zero valve to balance the sample gas
humidity with that of ambient air. The tube prevents errors caused by the effect of water vapor
on gas partial pressure when humid gases are measured after calibration with dry gases.
Gas analyzers
After the zero valve and Nafion tube, the gas passes through the miniC sensor.
Sample flow differential pressure transducer

The sample flow differential pressure transducer measures pressure drop across a restrictor
and calculates the sample flow from the pressure difference.
Working pressure transducer

The working pressure transducer measures differential pressure between the tubing and
ambient air near the miniC sensor. The following messages are based on the obtained pressure
values: ‘Sample line blocked’, ‘Check D-fend’, ‘Replace D-fend’, and ‘Check sample gas outlet’.
Absolute pressure transducer

The absolute pressure transducer measures real-time ambient pressure.
Sampling pump
The gas sampling pump is a membrane pump run by a DC-motor. Sample flow is measured
with a differential pressure transducer across a known restriction. The motor is automatically
controlled to maintain a constant flow even when the D-fend water trap ages and starts to get
occluded. It also enables the use of sample tubes with varying lengths and diameters.
NOTE: In no occasion is the flow reversed towards the patient.

Product overview
1.3.2 MiniC sensor

The miniC sensor is a non-dispersive infrared analyzer measuring absorption of the gas sample
at 4.2 to 4.3 μm infrared wavelength, which is selected using an optical narrow band filter. The
IR lamp is a filament surrounded by thermal isolation. There is a hole in the isolation, passing
the radiation to a conical measuring chamber with 3 mm length. From the sample chamber,
the radiation goes into a thermopile detector with an optical filter in front of it.
The temperature sensor measures the miniC measuring unit's temperature and it is used for
temperature compensation.
The miniC sensor is connected to the CPU board and they can’t be replaced separately.
Figure 5 MiniC sensor
1.3.3 CPU board

The CPU board contains a processor, memories and all the analog signal processing needed. A
MiniC measuring unit is attached to the board with a flexible PCB. Also supply voltage and an
RS485 serial channel are connected to the CPU board using another flexible PCB.
Analog signals (CO2, temperature, absolute and differential pressures and lamp current signals)
are fed to the 16-bit A/D converter. The processor controls the A/D converter and calculates
the CO2 percentage and respiration rate from this data.
The processor controls sample flow by adjusting the pump voltage based on the differential
pressure signal. The processor also controls the current of the IR source and keeps it constant.
Calibration data is stored on the EEPROM.

4 Troubleshooting
The problems and solutions in this chapter represent only a few of the faults that you may
NOTE: Perform the checkout procedure described in chapter “2. Maintenance and checkout”
each time after you have opened the module casing.

Before beginning any detailed troubleshooting, complete thorough visual inspection to be sure
that:
• the front cover is intact
• the water trap connection and disconnection functions properly
• all connectors are intact, clean and are attached properly
• the metal D-fend connectors and the D-fend O-rings are clean and intact
• Check if there are any messages shown in the message field. Find the possible cause and
solution from the “Messages” section in "User’s Guide" .
• Check that the module in doubt is compatible with the monitor.
• Check to the accessories used with the module. If in doubt, replace the accessories with
known good ones.
If in doubt of having any loose parts or cable connections inside the module, detach the
module box by removing the four screws from the back of the module and check that:
• tubes are not pinched and there are no sharp bends on them
• all tubes are connected properly
• there are no loose objects inside the module
7-16

Troubleshooting
4.2 Troubleshooting checklist

The following simple troubleshooting hints may help you to localize and isolate a functional
problem to the correct unit. Ensure that the monitor is turned on and the module is connected.
4.2.1 Gas sampling system troubleshooting

• Faults which can occur in the sampling system are: leaks or blockages in the tubing,
failure of the sampling pump or the magnetic valves, or diminishing of the flow rates
because of dirt or other matter accumulating in the internal tubing.
• Whenever suspecting the sampling system and always after having done any work on
the sampling system, check the sampling system for leakages and check the flow rate.
• The D-fend Pro water trap should be replaced, when the 'Replace D-Fend' message
appears.
• If any liquid has entered the IR sensor due to water trap filter failure, contact GE
Healthcare service.
• If the sampling pump is noisy it indicates possible problems with motor bearing. In this
case it is recommended to replace the noisy sampling pump with a new one.
• Check that the tubing inside the module is not contaminated. Any contamination inside
the tubing may indicate that the valve or sensor is contaminated, too. This can increase a
risk of faulty operation in valve or sensor. The gas sensor is not possible to clean in the
field. Therefore, replace the whole miniCO2 assembly with a new one.
NOTE: All internal tubes are mechanically fragile. Sharp bends may cause leaks and occlusions.
4.2.2 MiniC sensor troubleshooting

• The CPU contains factory calibration data for the miniC sensor. Thus, they can't be
replaced separately in the field. In case of failure, the complete miniCO2 assembly should
be replaced.
If the problem remains, contact service.

static-free workstation, but can greatly reduce the potential for failure of any electronic
assemblies being serviced:
• Discharge any static charge you may have built up before handling semiconductors or
assemblies containing semiconductors.
• A grounded, antistatic wristband or heel strap should be worn at all times while handling
or repairing assemblies containing semiconductors.
• Use properly grounded test equipment.
7-19

• Use a static-free work surface while handling or working on assemblies containing

semiconductors.
• Do not remove semiconductors or assemblies containing semiconductors from antistatic
containers until absolutely necessary.
• Do not slide semiconductors or electrical/electronic assemblies across any surface.
• Do not touch semiconductor leads unless absolutely necessary.
• Semiconductors and electronic assemblies should be stored only in antistatic bags or
boxes.
• Handle all PCB assemblies by their edges.
• Do not flex or twist a circuit board.

1.2.1 CO2, N2O, and agent measurement
MiniTPX is a side stream gas analyzer, measuring real time concentrations of CO2, N2O, and
anesthetic agents (Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane, Desflurane, and Sevoflurane).
Figure 2 MiniTPX sensor principle

Anesthetic agents or mixtures of two anesthetic agents are automatically identified, and
concentrations of the identified agents are measured. MiniTPX also detects mixtures of more
than two agents and issues an alarm.
MiniTPX is a non-dispersive infrared analyzer, measuring absorption of the gas sample at
seven infrared wavelengths, which are selected using optical narrow band filters.
The infrared radiation detectors are thermopiles.
Concentrations of CO2 and N2O are calculated from absorption measured at 3-5 μm.
Figure 3 Absorbance of N2O and CO2
8-2

Product overview
Identification of anesthetic agents and calculation of their concentrations is performed by

measuring absorptions at five wavelengths in the 8-9μm band and solving the concentrations
from a set of equations.
Figure 4 Infrared absorbance of AAs

The measuring accuracy is achieved utilizing numerous software compensations. The
compensation parameters are determined individually for each MiniTPX during the factory
calibration.
1.2.2 O2 measurement
The differential oxygen measuring unit uses the paramagnetic principle in a pneumatic bridge
configuration. The signal picked up with a differential pressure transducer unit is generated in
a measuring cell with a strong magnetic field that is switched on and off at a main frequency of
164 Hz. The output signal is a DC voltage proportional to the O2 concentration difference
between the gas to be measured and the air reference.

1.3.2 Gas sampling system

The gas sampling system draws a 120 ml/min sample from the patient's airway to the module.
The sampling system also takes a 30 ml/min flow of room air to the oxygen sensor. When the
gas sensors are zeroed, room air is taken through the CO2-absorber to the gas sensors instead
of the sampled gas from the patient's breathing.
The gas sampling line is connected between the patient circuit and the Gas Sample port on the
water trap. The water trap protects the sampling system and gas sensors from liquids and
dust.
The diagram of the gas sampling system is shown in the figure below:
8-4

Product overview
Figure 7 Gas sampling system

The sampling system has a self diagnostics that detects disturbances in the gas flow, reveals
the most common reasons for disturbances, such as occluded sampling line or blocked gas
exhaust line, and communicates relevant status messages to the patient monitor.
The system is designed so that gas the sampled gas will not flow from the sampling line back to
the patient circuit. The parts and connections of the sampling system are streamlined for
minimal dead spaces and turbulences in gas flows.
All gas inputs of the module have dust filters protecting the sampling system and gas sensors.
The water trap acts as a dust filter for the sampled gas and the module should always have the
water trap connected.
NOTE: It is very important to prevent dust from entering the open gas connections during
service operations.
D-fend Pro(+) water trap

The gas sampling line is connected to the input of the water trap where a special membrane
passes gases and vapors but stops liquids. The gas flowing through the membrane continues
via the main flow connector of the water trap to the module. The main flow is about 90% of the
sample flow.
Liquids stopped below the membrane are moved to the water container by a side flow that
goes through the water container and the water separation membrane before entering the
side flow connector of the water trap. Thus, the side flow also is free of liquids when it gets into
the module. In the module, the side flow is connected directly to the pump input and it does not
enter the gas sensors.
NOTE: The water trap acts as a dust filter for the sampling system and gas sensors. Thus, the
module should always have the water trap connected.
8-5

Zero valve and CO2 absorber

The zero valve is activated during gas sensor zeroing. Room air is drawn through the
CO2-absorber and the zero valve to the gas sensors, and the main flow of sample gas is
stopped. The zero gas comes to the sensors through the CO2-absorber that chemically absorbs
CO2. The side flow of the water trap flows in the gas sampling line even during zeroing.
During normal monitoring, the zero valve is not activated and the sampled gas gets through
the zero valve to the gas sensors.
Figure 8 Absorber
Nafion tubes 1
The Nafion tube between the water trap and the zero valve equalizes the humidity of the
sampled gas to ambient level. This will prevent calibration errors caused by the difference in
humilities in the sampled breathing gas and the totally dry calibration gas.
Another Nafion tube is used between the CO2 absorber and the zero valve to prevent
condensation of water generated in the CO2 absorber as by-product of CO2-absorption.
Gas sensors
After the zero valve, the gas flows trough the MiniTPX sensor that measures the concentrations
of all gases but oxygen.
The oxygen concentration is measured in the MiniOM sensor that has two inputs. One input
draws in a part of the main flow and the other draws in room air as reference gas for the O2
measurement.
Sample flow differential pressure transducer

The module measures total flow at the input of the gas pump and reference flow at the OM
reference line. The sample flow is the difference of these two flows.
Working pressure transducer

The working pressure transducer measures absolute working pressure between the MiniTPX
unit and MiniOM unit. It is used for messages: ‘Sample line blocked’, ‘Check D-fend’, ‘Replace
D-fend’ and ‘Check sample gas out’.
Pneumatics unit
The pneumatics unit contains the zero valve, the occlusion valve and the pneumatics block
with tubing connections.
1 Nafion is a registered trademark of Perma Pure Inc.
8-6

Product overview
The zero valve is activated during the zero level calibrations of gas sensors. The occlusion valve
is activated when the sampling line or water trap is occluded. With the activated occlusion
valve, the gas pump generates maximal suction trough the “side flow” connector of the water
trap, thus maximizing the transfer of liquids from the wet side of the water trap to the
container.
The pneumatics block contains a network of constrictions to divide the sampled gas in correct
proportions to different parts in the module. The first branching takes place in the water trap
where incoming flow is divided to the “main flow” and “side flow”. The second branching takes
place before the MiniOM sensor.
The pneumatics block also contains a pneumatic low pass filter between gas sensors and gas
pump. The filter consists of constrictions (resistors) and volumes (capacitors) and it attenuates
the pressure pulsation generated in the gas pump so that they do not disturb the operation of
the gas sensors.
Gas pump unit

The gas pump is a membrane pump run by a brushless DC-motor. The pump is adjusted so
that the sample gas flow is kept close to its nominal value even when the flow resistances in
the sampling line of water trap change.
The pump is in a plastic enclosure to minimize the operating noise and mechanical vibration of
the pump unit. A pneumatic damping chamber is integrated to enclosure to attenuate the
pressure pulsation and noise conducted to the gas exhaust port.
Pressure measurements
The four pressure sensors on the CPU board are used to measure ambient pressure, working
pressure of the MiniTPX and MiniOM sensors and pressure of the reference gas flow to the
MiniOM sensor.
Sample flow control

The gas flow in the sampling line is monitored by measuring the gas flow at the input of the gas
pump and the reference flow to the oxygen sensor is estimated by measuring the pressure in
the reference gas flow branch. The sample flow is calculated by subtracting the reference flow
from the total gas flow. A control loop adjusts the rotation speed of the pump motor so that the
gas flow is kept close to 120 ml/min.
Gas sampling self-diagnostics

The sample flow and the vacuum in the sampling system are used for continuous monitoring
of the gas sampling system. The vacuum is calculated in real time as difference of the
measured ambient and working pressures.
8-7

The self-diagnostics of the gas sampling system sends the following status data to the patient
monitor when specific triggering conditions are met: ‘Check D-Fend’, ‘Sample line blocked’,
‘Replace D-Fend’, ‘Check sample gas out’ and ‘Continuous blockage’.
The gas pump is stopped when the 'Sample line blocked' has lasted for more than 1 minute.
The module automatically restarts the pump to check whether the abnormal situation has
been resolved so that normal gas sampling operation is possible.
The gas pump repeats 1 minute full pump, 30 seconds pump off when the ‘Continuous
blockage’ message is shown.
Figure 9 Gas tubing layout
1.3.3 MiniTPX measuring unit

The MiniTPX unit is a non dispersive infrared analyzer, measuring the absorption of the gas
sample at seven infrared wavelengths, which are selected using optical narrow band filters.
The IR source is a micro-machined heating element with an integrated collimator. From the
output of the source, the radiation is passed to a flow optimized measuring chamber.
From the sample chamber, radiation goes via a specially designed beam splitter to two
detectors units, each with four thermopile detectors and integrated optical filters. The miniTPX
measuring unit has two CO2 channels for redundancy purposes. A more detailed description of
the measuring principle can be found in section “1.2.1. CO2, N2O, and agent measurement”.
Each detector unit also measures the unit's temperature. The module CPU uses it for further
processing and temperature compensation of the measured raw signals.
The miniTPX unit includes an amplifier board with the following functions:
• On-board 5V regulator and 2.5V reference source.
• Preamplifiers for the eight thermopile detectors and for the two temperature sensors. A
16 channel buffered multiplexer is used to transfer the signals to the CPU board.
• PWM controlled power for the IR source.
• An EEPROM memory for storing factory calibration coefficients of the sensor.
The input to the amplifier board comprises a 7V DC feed and CPU control signals for the PWM,
the multiplexer and the EEPROM. When the module starts up, the calibration coefficients are
read to the module CPU and then used for calculating the gas concentrations from the raw
data received from the sensor multiplexer.
8-8

Product overview
Figure 10 MiniTPX measuring unit
1.3.4 MiniOM Oxygen sensor

The miniOM sensor measures the concentration of Oxygen in the gas sample.
The measurement is based on the magnetic properties of oxygen. The sensor measures the
sound pressure generated in the air gap of the magnet at the 164 Hz operating frequency. Two
microphones are used for detection and the Oxygen concentration is calculated from the RMS
value of the difference of the microphone outputs. The measurement principle is described in
more detail in section ”1.2.2. O2 measurement”.
The sensor consists of the following functional parts
• Pneumatic system
• Amplifier board
• MiniOM board
• Magnet
The sensor is shown in the picture below.
Figure 11 MiniOM oxygen sensor

NOTE: The sensor is assembled in the module using flexible suspension to prevent the
mechanical vibrations of the gas pump and cooling fan from disturbing the Oxygen
measurement. All gas lines to the sensor must also be carefully assembled so that they do not
pick up mechanical vibrations of the module mechanics.
Pneumatic System
The pneumatic system, together with the gas sampling system of the module creates the gas
flows and pressures needed for the oxygen measurement and protection of the microphones
from excessive pressure. About 30 ml/min flow of sampled gas comes to the In connector on
8-9

the MiniOM sensor. Room air is drawn to the Ref input of MiniOM also at 30 ml/min rate. About
75% of these flows are conducted to a pressure equalization chamber so that only about a 8
ml/min flow of the two gas streams continue into the air gap of the magnet. All the internal gas
flows finally get to a volume enclosed by the sensor board and the sensor body, and then flow
out through the Out connection of the sensor. Some of the gas channels and flow restrictors
are integrated into the preamplifier electronics board utilizing the multi-layer structure of the
LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) circuit board technology.
NOTE: It is very important to prevent dust or liquids from getting into the pneumatic circuit of
MiniOM and thus, the gas connections should always be closed with a protecting cap when the
sensor is not connected to the module pneumatics.
Amplifier Board
The amplifier board located in the sensor has two electric microphones for the differential
detection of pressure pulses generated in the magnet's air gap. The microphone signals are fed
to two identical signal conditioning channels with a band-pass filter and a digitally controlled
amplifier. The voltage gains of the amplifiers are set during factory calibration so that the
responses of the microphone channels match in spite of differences in microphone's
sensitivities. The amplifier board also has an amplifier for the thermistor measuring the
temperature of the magnet.
MiniOM Board
The MiniOM board has five functions
• Drive the magnet coil.
• Convert the microphone and temperature signals into digital format.
• Filter digitally the microphone signals and perform the RMS-conversion.
• Communicate digitally with the module CPU.
• Store factory calibration data in permanent memory and communicate them to the
module CPU.
The module CPU provides the coil drive and communication enabling signals and also clock
signal for MiniOM board. The FPGA takes care of the coil drive and has also back-up clock in
case of CPU clock does not work. The FPGA takes care of the A/Dconversions which are
performed with a serial controlled SAR A/D-converter.
The digital band pass filtering and RMS conversion of the microphone signals is made with
FPGA circuit controlled by the VHDL code stored in the circuit. In order to filter out the
disturbances caused by acoustic noise, mechanical vibration and amplifier noise, the band
pass filters are designed to have as narrow a pass band as possible without slowing down the
filter's response to changes in the amplitude of the 164 Hz signal.
The FPGA circuit takes care of the digital communication between the miniOM sensor and the
module CPU.
The factory calibration coefficients of the sensor are stored in an EEPROM memory on the
miniOM board. When the module starts up, the calibration coefficients are read to the module
CPU and then used for calculating the O2 concentration from the Oxygen raw data received
from the sensor.
1.3.5 CPU board

The CPU board contains the processor, memories and an A/D-converter that is common to the
whole module.

accessories.
NOTE: Use only accurate, properly maintained, calibrated and traceable calibration tools for
the parameter calibration to ensure measurement accuracy.
NOTE: If the flow meter unit is not ml/min, it shall be converted to ml/min according to the
instructions of the flow meter manufacturer.
NOTE: Gas module sample flow rate is calibrated in the factory to ambient air conditions
corresponding the flow at the end of 3 m sampling line. Make sure that your meter is also
showing the flow at ambient conditions (= ATP).
NOTE: Refer to the flowmeter documentation for user instructions.
Connections
2. Ensure that you have a new D-fend Pro water trap in use.
4. Connect the other end of the gas sampling line to the flow meter.
NOTE: Before checking or adjusting the sample flow, make sure there is no leakage in the
sampling system.
3.1.2 Sample Flow Rate Adjustment

1. Enter to gas service menu: select Monitor Setup > Install/Service (16-4-34) > Service
(26-23-8) > Parameters > Gas Unit > Gases.
2. Select Sample gain adj
3. Adjust the sample flow to the nominal value 120 ml/min by increasing or decreasing
Sample Flow Gain:
• To decrease the sample flow rate measured by the flow meter by approximately 7.5
ml/min, add gain value by 0.05.
• To increase the sample flow rate measured by the flow meter by approximately 7.5
ml/min, lower the gain value by 0.05.
4. Press Trim Knob to confirm the gain adjustment. Wait until the sample flow value shown
on screen returns near to the nominal value 120 ml/min and then check the actual
measured flow rate from the flow meter.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the flow meter shows a 120 ± 20 ml /min flow rate.
8-21

NOTE: Adjust the flow rate according to the reading in the flow meter. The flow rate reading in
the Gases menu is measured by the internal electronics and settles always back to the nominal
120 ml /min independent on the real flow rate.
3.2 Gas Calibration

WARNING Failure in zeroing or calibrating gases might cause inaccurate readings.
WARNING Since calibration gas contains anesthetic agents, always ensure sufficient
ventilation of the room during calibration.
Gas calibration shall be performed:
• each time planned maintenance is performed.
• each time corrective maintenance is performed.

3.2.2 Procedure
NOTE: Gas calibration is not available during the first 5 minutes after the module is connected.
For maximum accuracy, let the monitor to warm up for 30 minutes before starting calibration.
NOTE: Gas calibration is not available during a 'Sample line blocked', 'Check D-Fend' and
'Check sample gas out’ alarm condition. Resolve the alarm condition before starting
calibration.
1. Enter to gas calibration menu: Airway Gas > Gas Calibration
2. The monitor will start automatic zeroing of the gas sensors. Wait until the message
'Zeroing' is replaced by a message 'Zero Ok' for all measured gases.
3. Open the regulator after a message 'Feed gas' is shown for all measured gases. The
measured gas concentrations are shown in real-time in the gas calibration menu.
Continue feeding the calibration gas until the measured gas concentrations are stabilized
and a message 'Adjust' is shown for all measured gases. Close the regulator.
4. Use the Trim Knob to adjust the gas readings shown in the Calibration menu to match
with the gas readings in the labelling of the calibration gas container. Press Trim Knob to
accept the adjusted values when the gas readings match each other.
5. Wait until a message 'Ok' is shown for all measured gases.
NOTE: A message 'Zero Error' is shown in case the zeroing fails.
NOTE: A message 'Calibration Error' is shown, if you do not start feeding gas within 1 minute
after the automatic zeroing is completed, or if the calibration fails due to too large gain
adjustment.
NOTE: If zeroing or calibration failed, select the Recalibrate to restart the calibration procedure
from the beginning.

Troubleshooting
4.2 Troubleshooting checklist

The following simple troubleshooting hints may help you to localize and isolate a functional
problem to the correct unit. Ensure that the monitor is turned on and the module is connected.
4.2.1 Gas sampling system troubleshooting

• Faults which can occur in the sampling system are: leaks or blockages in the tubing,
failure of the sampling pump or the magnetic valves, or diminishing of the flow rates
because of dirt or other matter accumulating in the internal tubing or failure of pressure
sensors.
• Whenever suspecting the sampling system and always after having done any work on
the sampling system, check the sampling system for leakages and check the flow rate.
• The D-fend Pro water trap should be replaced, when the 'Replace D-Fend' message
appears.
• If any liquid has entered the MiniTPX measuring unit due to water trap filter failure,
contact GE Healthcare service.
• Check that the tubing inside the module is not contaminated.
Any contamination inside the tubing may indicate that the valves or sensors are
contaminated, too. This can increase a risk of faulty operation in valves or sensors. The
valves or gas sensors are not possible to clean in the field. Therefore, if you noticed any
contamination in the module tubing, send the module to GE Healthcare for factory
service.
NOTE: All internal tubes are mechanically fragile. Sharp bends may cause leaks and occlusions.
4.2.2 MiniOM Measuring unit troubleshooting

• Due to the complicated and sensitive mechanical construction of the oxygen measuring
unit, no repairs should be attempted inside the unit. Instead, if the fault has been found in
the measuring unit itself, the entire module should be replaced and the faulty module be
sent to GE Healthcare for repair.
• In cases of no response to O2 or strong drift, check the tubing for loose connections,
blockages, and leaks.
• Check also the OM reference gas filter assembly, and replace if needed.
• If the O2 signal is noisy, check the measurement unit suspension and if the MiniOM tubing
has tension.
NOTE: Never apply overpressure to the O2 measuring unit, as the pressure transducer may be
permanently damaged.
4.2.3 MiniTPX Measuring unit troubleshooting

• The MiniTPX measuring unit can only be repaired at the factory. In case of failure, the
entire module should be replaced and the faulty module be sent to GE Healthcare for
repair.
4.2.4 CPU board troubleshooting

• Due to the complexity of the large scale integrated circuitry, there are few faults in the
CPU digital electronics that can be located without special equipment.
8-25

• Check that all connectors and screws are properly installed.

• In case of failure, the entire module should be replaced and the faulty module be sent to
GE Healthcare for repair.
4.3 Service Interface

The monitor has a service menu, which is a useful tool to examine monitor functions and
troubleshoot it in case a fault occurs.
To enter to the service menu see Chapter 5.

9 E-Entropy Module
Product overview
1 Product overview
1.1 Introduction
This document provides information for the maintenance and service of the Entropy Module,
E-ENTROPY. The Entropy module uses an electroencephalography (EEG) signal, together with
spontaneous facial muscular activity with a frontal electromyography (FEMG) signal to
measure:
• Response Entropy (RE)
• State Entropy (SE)
• Burst Suppression Ratio (BSR)
The Entropy module is responsible for EEG and FEMG signal acquisition, amplification, filtering
and digitization, and electrode impedance measurement. All the calculated parameters can be
selected on the display and trended.
Figure 1 Measurement setup

(1) Entropy module
(2) Entropy sensor cable
(3) GE Entropy sensor
(4) Entropy sensor

Entropy is a measure of irregularity in any signal. During general anesthesia, EEG changes
from irregular to more regular patterns when anesthesia deepens. Similarly, FEMG quiets down
as the deeper parts of the brain are increasingly saturated with anesthetics. The Entropy
Module measures these changes by quantifying the irregularity of EEG and FEMG signals.
Entropy parameters and BSR are calculated from EEG and FEMG signals acquired with a
sensor which is attached to the patient's forehead. The sensor consists of three electrodes. This
referential measurement yields one channel of raw EntrEEG.
9-1

Figure 2 A general view of the cable connections
1.2.1 EntrEEG
EEG is a differential voltage signal measured from electrodes attached to the patient’s skin.
EEG measures the spontaneous electrical activity of the brain. This electrical activity reflects
the state of the brain. In referential measurement, the referential electrode delivers its potential
to every channel’s minus-input. The signal is the potential difference between this common
reference electrode (electrode #3) and the electrode connected to the plus input (electrode #1).
The purpose of the ground electrode (electrode #2) is to reduce common mode noise.
The EntrEEG signal is amplified, antialias filtered, digitized and software filtered. After that, the
EntrEEG signal is shown on the screen and the RE, SE and BSR characteristics are calculated
from it.
1.2.2 FEMG
FEMG is an electrical signal originating from facial muscles. The FEMG signal has much broader
spectrum than EEG and it overlaps with EEG at low frequencies. The FEMG signal gives its
contribution to the RE values (see “RE and SE”). Mains power frequency and its harmonics are
digitally filtered away to reject interference noise from power lines.
1.2.3 RE and SE
Entropy numbers range from 100 to zero (RE 0-100, SE 0 – 91), correlating to the patient's
anesthetic state. High values of Entropy indicate high irregularity of the signal, signifying that
the patient is awake. There are two Entropy parameters: the fast-reacting Response Entropy
and the more steady and robust State Entropy. State Entropy consists of the entropy of EEG
signal calculated up to 32 Hz. Response Entropy includes additional high frequencies up to 47
Hz and, consequently, the fast frontalis EMG (FEMG) signals enable a fast response time.
Table 1 Frequency ranges for Entropy calculation
Response Entropy, RE 0 < f < 47 Hz

State Entropy, SE 0 < f < 32 Hz
9-2

Product overview
1.2.4 Impedance measurement

The impedance measurement is performed for all leads at the same time and the EntrEEG is
stopped for no longer than 5 seconds during the impedance measurement.
Differences in the electrode impedance of the electrodes cause common mode noise coupling
to the measured signal. To minimize this, the electrode impedance is measured and a warning
of an unsatisfactory impedance level is generated when necessary. The impedance of an
electrode is measured by applying a known current through the electrode and measuring the
voltage drop over the electrode. This way the impedance of a single electrode can be resolved.

requirements
Required characteristics and configuration of network for support

• The network must meet the specific requirements above for all traffic flows associated
with the subset of features, use cases and workflows required by the responsible
organization’s users.
• In addition, the network must be “flat” (i.e. limited to a single IP broadcast domain).
Potential risks to safety, effectiveness or security resulting from failure of IT

network to provide the required
Loss of network connectivity can result in the following hazardous situations:
− Missed alarm at a remote viewing station (bedside or CIC).
− Complete or partial loss or deterioration of remote monitoring of waveform and
parameter data at remote viewing device.
Product mitigations:
− Low alarm volume is increased if network communication fails
− Audio off, audio pause are interrupted if network communication fails
− User is notified of network communication failure, message is displayed until user
acknowledges it
− User is notified if a duplicate IP address is detected
− User is notified if a duplicate unit/bed name
G-3
In addition to the hazardous situations identified above, connection of the monitor to a

network that includes other equipment could result in other unidentified risks to patients,
operators or third parties. The responsible organization should identify, analyze, evaluate and
control these risks on an ongoing basis including after changes to the network, which could
introduce new risks and require additional analysis.
