User should inspect the system for signs of damage. Do not use the system if failure is evident or suspected.• Possible burn hazard! Do not coil cables inside the MR scanner.• Possible explosion hazard! Do not use the monitor in the presence of flammable anesthetics. The equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or Nitrous Oxide.• Possible explosion hazard! Do not use the monitor in the presence of gas mixtures which may be flammable.• Cables, tubing, and lead wires may present a risk of entanglement or strangulation! Verify safe and proper positioning of these items at all times.• Unapproved modifications to the monitor may cause unexpected results and present a hazard to the patient.• Risk of electrical shock! Do not remove cover. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.• All cords must have hospital grade plugs and be plugged into hospital grade outlets. (The electrical installation of the relevant room must comply with NFPA 70: National Electric Code or NFPA 99: Standard for Health Care Facilities. Outside the United States, the relevant room must comply with all electrical installation regulations mandated by the local and regional bodies of government).• Do not bring tools containing ferrous material into the magnet room. Risk of serious injury and/or damage to equipment can occur. WARNING !! CAUTION !! WARNING !!
Page xviiSafety• Do not route gating cables near or within the scanning volume.• Apply brakes to prevent movement.• Do not re-use accessories labeled as single use. Risk of patient contamination may occur.• Improper disposal of batteries may result in explosion, leakage, or personal injury. Do not open batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local regulations concerning the disposal of spent Lead-acid and Lithium-Ion batteries or contact MEDRAD for assistance.• Connect only MEDRAD approved three-lead or five-lead ECG cables from the patient to the ECG module. Do not connect any other signal source to the ECG module.• There is no defibrillator synchronization output on the Veris monitor. Make no connections between the Veris and a defibrillator.• Leakage currents may increase if other equipment is interconnected to the patient. The increased leakage currents may present a hazard to the patient.• PACEMAKER PATIENTS: This device does not include pacemaker spike rejection capability. Heart rate readouts derived from the ECG patient connections are likely to display erroneous high or erratic rates when a pacemaker is in use. Keep pacemaker patients under close surveillance. For pacemaker patients it may be advisable to select the SpO2 function as the primary heart rate source.• High Frequency (HF) surgical equipment may affect ECG operation. The system is not designed to operate in the presence of ESU interference. The patient may be burned. Patient burns can also result from defective HF surgical equipment neutral electrode connection.• The heart rate calculated by the monitor may be affected by cardiac arrhythmia.• Do not take the remote display or the ECG module battery charger into the MR scanner room. These contain ferromagnetic material and can be strongly attracted to the magnet causing a safety hazard.• Do not use with an open MRI. Use of the monitor in an open MRI may result in erratic or unavailable monitoring.• Do not stand or sit on monitor accessories tray. Possible injury can result from falling. WARNING !!
Page xviiiMEDRAD Veris 8600• Do not lift the monitoring system by the tray. Possible injury can result from heavy weight.• U.S. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.Cautions• Use only accessories designated for use with this monitor. Use of accessories not designated for use with the Veris monitor can cause inaccurate measurements and/or a safety hazard for the patient.• Equipment accuracy may be affected at extreme temperatures.• Do not store equipment at extreme temperature. Temperatures exceeding specified storage temperatures could damage the system.• Avoid routing the DC cable through the magnet room door. Possible damage can occur to the DC cable and/or the scanner room door.• Do not press on the keys with sharp or hard objects. This could damage the keys. Use only your fingertips to press on the keys.• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by MEDRAD, Inc., may void the user's authority to operate the equipment and may also void the warranty.• Do not use the monitor in the path of a Linear Accelerator or Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner beam. This could result in inaccurate physiologic parameters or waveforms.• Transporting the monitor in a mobile scanner trailer can lead to damage from shock, vibration, or extreme temperatures.• Do not allow the conductive parts of the patient electrodes to contact other conductive parts, including ground (earth).• Do not tip the monitor. Possible injury can result from falling.• Do not stand on power supply enclosure. Injury from tripping or falling can occur.• Do not stand on the base. Possible injury can result from falling.• Do not pinch cables between the table and the bore. This can damage the cables.• Do not roll the monitor over or step on cables. This can damage the cables. WARNING !! CAUTION !!
Page xixSafety• Do not bend fiber optic cables too tightly. Follow cable manufacturers specifications for bend allowance.• If a probe falls on the floor or into liquid, clean the probe following proper cleaning methods. If the probe is not properly cleaned, inaccurate physiologic parameters or waveforms may result.• Do not place more than 40 pounds (18 kg) on the tray.Leakage CurrentThe monitor complies with leakage current limits required by medical safety standards for patient-connected devices. The Veris monitor conforms to EN 60601-1 standards. A hazard caused by the summation of leakage currents is possible, when several pieces of equipment are interconnected.Voltage FluctuationsWhen operated in the line voltage range specified in this manual any minor fluctuations will have a negligible effect. Very low line voltage will cause the monitor to revert to battery power. Very high line voltage may cause damage to the charger circuits. The monitor is designed with circuitry that will turn the unit off before spurious readings can be caused by a low battery condition.Equipotential GroundHealth care providers and patients are subject to dangerous, uncontrollable compensating currents for electrical equipment. These currents are due to the potential differences between connected equipment and touchable conducting parts as found in medical rooms.The safety solution to the problem is accomplished with consistent equipotential bonding. Medical equipment is fitted with connecting leads made up with angled sockets to the equipotential bonding network in medical rooms. CAUTION !!Connection Lead (Socket)Equipotential ConnectorEquipotential TerminalMain BodyEarth Ground
Page xxMEDRAD Veris 8600Software Error Related Hazard MediationMEDRAD, Inc., has quality control practices and procedures in place to review potential hazards as they relate to software. The monitor utilizes a four-digit year for all date, time, and leap year calculations.Potential InterferenceThis device has been tested to 60601-1-2 specified levels for emissions of and immunity to electrical interference. External disturbances which exceed these levels, such as motor driven tools, may cause operational issues with this device. Other devices which are sensitive to a lower level of emissions than those allowed by IEC 60601-1-2 2nd Edition may experience operational issues when used in proximity to this device.MAGNETIC FIELDSAlways position the Veris Base, Base Plus, and Cardiac monitors at or outside the 2000 Gauss line. Always position the Veris Anesthesia monitor at or outside of the 500 Gauss line. This monitor is designed specifically for MR compatibility and is 1.5 and 3T compatible. It will not cause interference with MRI image quality, nor will its performance be affected by the magnet field.The "T" wave may become excessively large or inverted with the patient in the magnetic field. This effect is due to hemodynamic flow induced voltage and may interfere with QRS detection.

2 —12 — Monitor SetupThis section provides an overview of the setup procedures for the Veris 8600 monitor. Also see the appropriate chapters on patient parameter monitoring for parameter setup information.The monitor should be set up by the health care provider before using it on patients:• Load paper (if remote display is present). See paper loading instructions in “Changing Printer Paper” on page 12-7.• Charge all batteries (ECG module battery, main monitor batteries.)Preparations such as charging the batteries should be performed if the monitor is new.Battery PowerThe monitor base contains two lead-acid gel batteries that when fully charged provide a minimum of ten hours of operational use.Charging the BatteryThe Veris monitor is battery powered. The monitor internally recharges the battery when it is connected to the power supply. The monitor can operate in continuous use for a minimum of 10 hours on a fully charged battery. Charge the battery from the power supply over night for approximately 12 hours.• If the electrical integrity of the earth ground is in doubt, the power cord should be disconnected and the machine should be operated from its internal electrical power source.• Explosion hazard. Keep lighted cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from the battery.• Avoid contact with battery acid! The batteries contains sulfuric acid electrolyte which can cause severe burns and eye damage, as well as illness from sulfur oxide fumes. Use necessary precautions when servicing batteries.• Do not short circuit the battery terminals. The resulting high-current discharge can cause burns.• Do not operate the monitor with discharged or defective batteries. Monitor failure could occur during AC power loss which can compromise patient safety.• Do not use the monitor if the batteries are missing. WARNING !!
MEDRAD Veris 86002 —2The Veris monitor can function on AC or battery power. MEDRAD recommends that batteries be fully charged at all times. If the batteries are insufficiently charged, battery life is degraded and shortened. If defective batteries are suspected, contact MEDRAD Service or your local representative.Battery IndicatorsThe battery icons are located on the lower portion of the main screen as described in “Screen Display and Interface” on page 2-5. The battery icons change color to indicate the status of the batteries and appear when using DC (battery) or AC (Mains) power.When AC is connected to the monitor (green light above ON/OFF key is lit), the battery icon colors are:Amber: Battery is charging.Green: Battery is fully charged.When AC is not connected to the monitor (green light above ON/OFF key is not lit), the battery icon colors are:Green: Battery life is greater than 1 hour.Yellow: Battery is weak. (less than 1 hour and more than 15 minutes of charge remains). A LOW BAT message also appears.Black: Battery is nearly drained. (less than 15 minutes of charge remain). The LOW BAT message remains.While using battery power there is a short delay between a change in battery status and the updated display of the battery icons.If the monitor is currently operating under AC power, the monitor may take up to two minutes to display a change in battery status.The monitor also displays the battery status for the ECG module in the heart rate (HR) parameter box. The battery icon colors are:Green: Battery life is greater than seven (7) hours.Yellow: Battery life is less than seven (7) hours. Charge the module battery soonBlack: This can indicate the ECG module is not connected to the monitor. Verify the module is connected to the monitor. If the module is connected to the monitor, the battery is drained. ECG module will not operate. Charge the module battery immediately.

MEDRAD Veris 86002 —4The monitor is comprised of a number of modules which measure physiologic parameters. Some modules such as the oximeter are ready for use within seconds of power up. Others such as the gas bench take a few minutes to equilibrate.Sensor and Probe MessagesDepending on the accessories attached to the monitor upon start up, various messages concerning detached sensors and probes appear. These are only visual alarms until valid measurements are taken by the accessories, after which a low level alarm sounds when the sensors and probes are disconnected.NOTE: LEADS OFF messages can be set by the user to be Low, Medium, or High level alarms.If sensor and probe messages from unused modules become a distraction, these messages may be eliminated by turning the respective module off. The OFF settings are located in the PARAMS windows described in “PARAMS Softkey (Physiological Parameters)” on page 2-21.Units with invasive blood pressure capability indicate that either there is no transducer attached (NO XDUCER) or that the transducer has not been calibrated by the user (NOT ZEROED). In either case it is not necessary to attach or zero the transducers in order to use the other features of the monitor.Gas CalibrationThe agent gas detector may require a short warm up period and auto-calibration sequence similar to an internal capnometer. The message AGT:WARMING appears in the information message area. The informational message AGT:MANUAL or AGT:AUTOMATIC also appears indicating that the monitor is in either manual or automatic primary agent identification mode. AGT: AUTO CAL indicates that the agent calibration is in progress.Respiration waveforms, capnogram, and numerical breath rate are available in one minute from applying power to the monitor. The monitor reaches full accuracy for agent concentrations in less than 20 minutes.If the Veris system fails to auto-calibrate upon power up, the message AGT:BAD CAL appears. If the system continues to fail auto-calibration, contact MEDRAD Service or your local representative.The oxygen monitoring module also requires auto-calibration, which is performed at the same time as the agent bench calibration. If the O2 module fails to calibrate, the message O2:SENSOR appears.Upon successfully completing auto-calibration the monitor displays values for monitored gases.
2 —52 —Monitor SetupScreen Display and InterfaceThe display is divided into dedicated areas for data and interface functions. The left side of the screen is reserved for waveform (up to six) or graphic display. The uppermost waveform slot is factory set for ECG. The remaining five waveform slots can be configured by the user. The alarm silence icon (2 minutes or permanent) is shown in the upper right corner of the first waveform.The far right column is dedicated to reporting numerical data, except for NIBP and temperature which appear below the waveforms. The color of each parameter is user selectable. Therefore, any given waveform and its corresponding numeric data appear in the same color.Figure 2-3: Screen DiagramMain menu shown in grey above. The arrangement of the numerical parameter boxes varies depending upon the waveforms selected to be viewed and the waveform slot selected for the waveform. The parameter box displays to the right of its corresponding waveform if displayed in a waveform slot. The screen display is the same on the patient monitor and the remote display. Changes to the display can be made at the patient monitor or at the remote display.The bottom portion of the display has space dedicated to the following message types and functions.• The main screen menu of selectable softkeys.• Two message lines for alarms and alerts.• A system status line for battery status and patient size mode.• The patient information bar, date stamp, and clock.NIBP ParametersTemperature 1Temperature 2Waveform Slot 1Waveform Slot 2Waveform Slot 3Waveform Slot 4Waveform Slot 5Waveform Slot 6ALARMS PAR AMSADM/DISDISPLAYCONFIG PRINTZERO IP1ZERO IP2Priority AlarmsInfo MessagesSystem StatusPatient Data Date TimeHeart RateNumericalParametersSpO2RespirationIBP Channel 1ParametersIBP Channel 2ParametersCO2 NumericalParametersGas NumericalParametersRemoteCommunicationGating ECG ModuleBatteryStatus

For a high priority alarm the color of the message is red. For a medium priority alarm, the color of the message is yellow.The bottom five slots may be covered by menus and messages. Since the top waveform slot is dedicated to ECG, the ECG waveform and the ECG high and medium priority messages are always visible if ECG is currently being monitored and the top slot is active.See “Visible Alarms” on page 3-2 for a complete description of visual alarms.SILENCE ALERT STATUSThe silence alert visual icon appears in the upper right area of the top waveform.• The silence icon shows a bell with an "X" and an infinity symbol when the SILENCE hard key has been pressed and held for more than two seconds.• The Alarm Suspend icon shows a bell with an “X” and the words 2 Min when the SILENCE hard key has been momentarily pressed.ALARM INHIBITThe alarm inhibit icon appears in the parameter boxes when one or more of an individual parameter’s alarms are turned OFF.ECG WAVEFORMThe lead number and scale setting are displayed in the top left corner of each slot set for ECG waveforms. The amplitude bar, shown in white, indicates the scale in millivolts (mV).SPO2 WAVEFORMThe waveform is auto ranging where the monitor attempts to keep the waveform centered in the slot at all times. No amplitude bar is shown.CO2 WAVEFORMThe CO2 waveform, capnogram, is always displayed in percent regardless of the units selected for displaying the numerical data. The maximum range of the capnometer waveform is 12.5%.BREATH BY BREATH BAR GRAPH (B×B)The breath by breath bar graph is a method of representing the concentration of CO2 at the end of each breath. The data is always displayed in percent with a maximum range of 12.5%.O2 WAVEFORMThe maximum range of the oxygen waveform is 100%. The units are always in percent.
MEDRAD Veris 86002 —8PRIMARY AGENT WAVEFORMThe primary agent waveform is displayed in percentage only as is the display for primary agent numerical data. The waveform is auto-ranging within the slot. Secondary agents are not displayed as waveforms.NITROUS OXIDE (N2O)The N2O waveform is derived from the agent detector of the Veris monitor.IBP WAVEFORMSThe labels identifying the source of the IBP waveforms appear between the upper and lower range values at the beginning of the waveform.The waveform has both manual and auto-ranging features. The selected range appears at the left side of the waveform. The scaling for IBP slots are locked at x1 and cannot be changed. Use the range settings to adjust the appearance of the waveform on the screen. See “Alarms and Messages” in Section 3 for details.Selectable IBP sites are as follows:• Arterial (ART)• Pulmonary Artery (PA)• Central Venous (CVP)• Right Atrial (RA)• Left Atrial (LA)• Intracranial (ICP)• Left Ventricle (LV)• Right Ventricle (RV)There are two IBP channels. The color of each channel can be selected independently.If the amplitude of the waveform exceeds the selected range the waveform is clipped. An informational level alarm OFF SCALE appears in the Info Messages Box of the main screen display.
2 —92 —Monitor SetupNumerical Parameter BoxesThe numerical parameter box area is directly to the right of the waveform area. The area is broken into seven numerical boxes. There are three additional numerical boxes below the waveforms. The numerical parameter boxes display the measured value of the vital sign being monitored, the unit of measure, and parameter-dependent information (such as the source for the heart rate or inspired/expired values for gases).If a module is turned off in the PARAMS menu, the numerical parameters are replaced by the word OFF in each location. Smart parameters such as heart rate switch to another available module if possible. An alarm inhibit icon appears in the upper right corner or right center of a parameter box if an alarm limit is set to OFF. The alarm inhibit icon is red with a white “X” indicating that an alarm is turned OFF.ECG BOXThe top parameter box, in the upper right hand corner, is dedicated to display the heart rate. The source of the heart rate (i.e. ECG, IBP, SpO2, or NIBP) is shown in the lower left corner of this box. The color of the numeric display for heart rate matches the color of the waveform source data.The right half of the ECG parameter box displays the gating output, the ECG module battery status, and an icon indicating that the monitor and remote display are communicating. The color of the gating icon matches the color of the waveform and numerical data of the source (i.e., ECG gating reflects the color of the ECG waveform and numerics).SPO2 BOX The SpO2 box displays the oxygen saturation in percent.RESPIRATION BOXThe Respiration box, to the right of the SpO2 box, displays the respiration rate and respiration source (i.e. CO2).CO2 BOXThis box displays numerical values for expired and inspired CO2.

To turn off the alarms use the SILENCE key. See “Alarms and Messages” in Section 3 for more information about alarms.ECG LEAD FAILThis is an adjustable alarm level setting for a condition where the monitor cannot detect connected ECG leads. Set this according to the protocols of the facility or to the specific patient need.ALARMS SETTINGS BY PATIENT SIZEThe monitor retains separate alarm settings for three different patient sizes. When the patient size mode is changed to Adult, Pediatric, or Neonate, the monitor recalls alarm limit settings specific to each patient size.The extended alarm limit windows for the optional features also have size specific versions. As in the main screen, the pediatric alarm settings are the same as adult in the Factory Default profile.To set all the alarm limits, adjust the settings as necessary including the extended windows that appear under Other Alarm Setups. Then change to the next patient size and adjust the settings again including the extended windows. Repeat setting changes as necessary for each patient size.ALARM LIMITSAlarms activate when a high alarm limit is exceeded or the measured value drops below a low alarm limit. High and Low limit values can be set to the same values. In such a case the monitor alarms when any value but the selected value is measured.• Turning an alarm limit off disables both the audible and visual portion of the alarm.• Some alarms automatically reset when the monitor is power cycled. See “Alarms at Start Up” on page 3-3 for details.The low limit alarm can never be set higher than the high limit alarm. The high limit adjustment is similarly restricted. When adjusting limit values some of the range may not be available because the monitor does not display ranges beyond the point that the other limit is set.Alarm limits cannot be changed for monitoring modules that are turned off. If an alarm limit cannot be selected, check the PARAMS menu to confirm the module is turned on. CAUTION !!

Turn the knob to scroll through the possible colors and press the knob to enter the selection. Colors red, yellow, blue, green, orange, violet, light gold, and white may be selected.SMART HEART RATEWhen Smart is selected for HR Source, the monitor generates a numerical heart rate value from the remaining operating modules if a higher lever module is turned off or lost. If the ECG signal is lost or turned off, the monitor automatically switches to another available source. The order is:•ECG•IBP•SpO2•NIBPThe monitor generates a heart rate from the ECG module, the IBP module, the SpO2 module, or from the NIBP (in that order of preference). The NIBP heart rate is updated with each NIBP measurement rather than being continuously updated with the ECG, IBP, or SpO2 waveform data. When the heart rate is based on NIBP data the numerical heart rate value is removed 2 minutes after the last NIBP measurement was completed.If a specific parameter is selected for HR Source, and that parameter is lost, the monitor does not switch to another parameter for the heart rate.GATINGThe gating function can be set to OFF, ECG Wave, SpO2 Wave, ECG Pulse, or SpO2 Pulse.ECG CABLEThe monitor can be set to 3 lead or 5 lead ECG.NOTE: Base and BasePlus models only have 3 lead capabilities.ECG FILTERThe ECG is set to Monitor mode for optimal filtering and cannot be changed by the user.DISPLAY RANGEThis setting controls the ECG signal gain. If it is set too high, the signal may exceed the valid range for monitoring. The high level alarm message ECG: SENS TOO HIGH displays. If this occurs, lower the sensitivity setting. For general monitoring use the medium setting.
2 —232 —Monitor SetupECG AUTO LEAD SWITCHThe PARAMS window settings for Auto Lead Switching are described in “ECG Auto Lead Switching” on page 5-16. For general use, these can both be set to the On position.IBP SETTINGSThe two IBP channels can be configured separately. The choices are:• Arterial (ART),• Pulmonary Artery (PA),• Left Atrial (LA),• Right Atrial (RA),• Central Venous (CVP),• Right Ventricle (RV),• Left Ventricle (LV), • Intracranial (ICP), or•Off.The ranges for IBP waveform display are also independently selectable.The IBP channels can be zeroed using the setting from the PARAMS window or from the main menu softkey, whichever is more convenient.IBP AUTO-RANGINGThe monitor provides auto-ranging for each IBP channel individually. When auto-ranging is selected for a channel in the PARAMS window, the monitor determines the best display range based on previous extremes of the waveform.The scale changes to exceed the waveform maximums by at least 5 mmHg. The auto-ranging occurs when the PARAMS window is exited. If the past extremes of the waveforms are exceeded, clipping occurs. The new range remains until auto ranging is selected again or specific range values are set in the PARAMS window.NIBP SETTINGSThe NIBP can be set to generate a tone upon completion of each measurement.NOTE: Press the NIBP CYCLE/STAT key to access the cycle settings.HEART RATE TONE VOLUMEThis feature can be set at the bottom of the first PARAMS window. The tone can be set to volumes 1 through 10 or OFF. This setting only controls the tone volume associated with the heart rate rhythm. It is not affected by adjustments to Alarm Volume or the SILENCE feature.

The monitor has two modes of agent gas monitoring. The user may select a specific halogenated agent to be designated as the primary agent. The user may otherwise set the monitor to automatically detect and identify the current primary gas of a mixture.NOTE: If the user manually selects the primary agent for monitoring it must be correctly entered.• Always confirm the primary agent selection before use. Incorrect primary agent setting may result in erroneous limit alarms. Alarm characteristics of the monitor are altered when automatic primary agent detection is activated.• Never substitute a primary agent setting for a different halogenated agent, or any agent not listed! The agent detection is specific to the listed gases only.• The alarm WRONG AGENT appears when the primary agent (that is manually selected by the physician) does not match the primary agent detected. The WRONG AGENT alarm is deactivated when automatic primary agent detection is selected.EXIT CO2 ON Unit of measure mmHg Color ¤O2 ON Color ¤Agent Agent to Monitor Auto Flow Rate 200 ml/min Flow Mode Exhaust Agent Color ¤ N2O Color ¤ <<< BACK WARNING !!
MEDRAD Veris 86002 —26• The halogenated agent waveform and waveform label may automatically change to a different halogenated agent when automatic primary agent detection is used. If no primary agent is detected, dashes appear in the waveform label when automatic primary agent detection is used.The primary agent is the halogenated agent having the highest concentration during mixed gas conditions. Where only one halogenated agent is to be used, the single agent should always be the primary agent. The primary agent can be set to halothane, isoflurane, enflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane, or automatic.The selected primary halogenated agent has its own set of alarm limits as described earlier in this section. This is for use when the primary agent is selected manually. When automatic primary agent detection is used, the agent alarm limits are updated at the time of identification from the Default Alarm Limits by Agent settings. If the primary agent is redefined automatically, the alarm limits are again updated from the agent specific limits defined in the menu.FLOW RATEThe Flow Rate setting adjusts the amount of air that is drawn in by the gas monitoring system. The monitor provides accurate values in either 100, 150, or 200 ml/min settings. It is recommended that the 200 ml/min setting be used for better response time.FLOW MODEThe flow mode of the Veris monitor is permanently set to exhaust and cannot be changed. WARNING !!

MEDRAD Veris 86002 —32• The discharge feature returns the monitor to the user default profile last selected. If no user profiles have ever been selected on a new monitor the CUSTOM DEFAULTS found in the first position in the defaults window is used.Adult/Pediatric/Neonatal (Patient Size)The monitor is designed to look at the Patient Size information selected in the ADM/DIS window and determine whether the monitor should use the Adult, Pediatric, or Neonatal alarm settings while monitoring.The patient mode is determined by patient size and is displayed in the System Status Line.When Patient Size is changed in the ADM/DIS window, the monitor determines which window appears when the ALARMS softkey is selected. By changing Patient Size, the user effectively changes all the alarm limits for all the monitoring modules. The Patient Size setting also adjusts the maximum NIBP pressure limit. For Adult and Pediatric the limit is 300 mmHg. The limit for Neonate is 150 mmHg.Patient InformationTo enter, change, or update patient information:1. Set the menu to ADM/DIS and press the knob.2. Go to Patient Size and check that it is correct. Change to Adult, Pediatric, or Neonate as necessary.3. Turn the knob to Update and set to YES. Press the knob.

2 —352 —Monitor SetupPassword ProtectionSeveral settings on the CONFIG and the Enter Network Config screens are password protected. These are functions that generally should not be changed during use and their settings should be adjusted by supervisory personnel, your MEDRAD representative, or other qualified service personnel. These include; Standby Timeout, Alarm Tone Warning, Line Frequency, Enter Service Mode, and Enter Simulation Mode. Contact MEDRAD Service or your local representative about service passwords.Date FormatThe date format can be set to display or print Day-Month-Year or Month-Day-Year.Time/Date SettingThe Time and Date are set in the CONFIG softkey window. Changing the time and date while monitoring a patient does not affect the accurate display of patient data, but it clears any recorded trend data.Freeze Timeout The FREEZE function can be set to freeze the waveform frame from 30 seconds to five minutes. Choosing OFF causes the FREEZE key to hold the screen permanently until the FREEZE key is pressed again. The FREEZE key also captures waveforms that are obscured by dialog boxes and pop-up windows. When the FREEZE key is pressed the waveforms are redrawn on the screen. The FREEZE function forces an exit from the current pop-up window or dialog box.Standby Timeout The Standby Timeout can be set to disable the monitor from 5 minutes to 2 hours. Choosing OFF causes the STAND BY key to disable the monitor permanently until the STAND BY key is pressed again. This setting is password protected. The factory default value is 30 minutes.Standby ToneWhen set to ON the monitor produces a single low pitched beep every minute during Standby Mode. When set to OFF there is no tone to remind the user that the monitor is in Standby Mode.Alarm Tone WarningWhen set to ON the monitor produces a low pitched double beep every two minutes during the permanent silence condition. When set to OFF there is no tone to remind the user that the silence condition is active.NOTE: Set this safeguard according to your facility protocols and according to local safety regulations for medical devices.Print DeviceThe print device can be set to Internal Printer, Serial, or OFF.•Set to Internal Printer to print data to the thermal printer on the optional remote display.•Set to Serial to print to an external printer or download to a computer.•Set to OFF to disable the printing feature.See “Printing and Data Ports” on page 12-1 for more information.

3 —13 — Alarms and MessagesAlarm DescriptionThe Veris monitor provides both audible and visible alarm indicators to alert the operator of system status changes and physiological parameter alarms.Alarms are provided for all monitored parameters. Each parameter limit alarm condition triggers both audible and visible alarms until one of the following events occurs:• The parameter value returns to within the alarm limit.• The alarm limit is set beyond the present parameter value.• The SILENCE key is pressed. (Audible alarms only)• The monitor is placed in Standby Mode.NOTE: The Alarm Limits menu only displays the parameters present in the configuration.Remote Display AlarmsThe alarms that appear and sound on the patient monitor also appear and sound on the optional remote display. The delay time for the alarm from the patient monitor to the remote display is less than 1 second. Alarms can be silenced or turned off from the remote display as if they were silenced or turned off at the patient monitor.Audible AlarmsAll alarms conform to EN 475 requirements. Informational messages and system alerts do not have an audible alarm component.HIGH PRIORITY ALARMSThe high priority alarm consists of a pair of audible bursts. Each burst consists of 5 tone pulses. The pair of bursts repeat every eight seconds. For each burst there is a short delay between the third and fourth pulse. The frequency of each pulse is 1000 Hz.MEDIUM PRIORITY ALARMSEach medium priority alarm consists of an audible burst of three pulses repeated approximately every 25 seconds. The frequency of each pulse is 800 Hz.LOW PRIORITY ALARMSEach low priority alarm consists of an audible burst of two pulses repeated approximately every 15 seconds. The frequency of each pulse is 350 Hz.ADVISORY ALERTSEach advisory alert consists of an audible burst of two pulses repeated approximately every 5 minutes. The frequency of each pulse is 300 Hz.
MEDRAD Veris 86003 —2Visible AlarmsIn addition to audible alarms, visual text and symbol alarms are displayed on the screen. Each message or symbol is specific to its respective parameter or condition.FLASHING NUMERICAL PARAMETERSIf a physiological parameter exceeds a high limit or falls below a low limit value, the numerical value displayed flashes. This function cannot be suspended and is visible when pop-up menus are activated.ALARM MESSAGE LINESThere is space for two text lines provided directly below the NIBP box. If multiple alarms are active, they alternate in the alarm area. The bottom line is used for the informational messages and advisory alerts.Low level alarms and informational level messages are displayed in this area for the vital signs that have a waveform displayed. For parameters that do not have a waveforms displayed, all level of alarms are reported in the Alarm Message Lines.Informational, low, and medium level alarm text messages appear in yellow and high alarm warning messages appear in red.WAVEFORM SLOT VISUAL ALARMSWhen a high or medium alarm occurs for a vital sign that has an active waveform, the message appears in the top center of the waveform traces in large text. If there are multiple alerts to be displayed in a waveform slot, the messages alternate.If the waveform exists in multiple slots, either through cascade or duplicate waveforms from alternate leads, the waveform messages only occur in the top most slot.Waveform Slot Alarms are not visible during the following conditions.• The waveform is not selected to be displayed.• A pop-up window or menu covers the waveform slot.If a high or medium level alarm message cannot be displayed in the waveform slot due to a pop-up window, the alarm message displays in the Alarm Message Lines near the bottom of the screen.Waveforms FrozenIf a waveform is “frozen” and data is still being acquired, high and medium alarm messages appear based on the real-time data being acquired, not the “frozen” waveform.%SpO2SpO29898AdultAdultV000 - NO ADMITV000 - NO ADMITSPO2: SENSORSPO2: SENSOR- + +- + +IIIIx1x11mV1mVHIGH PULSE RATE
3 —33 —Alarms and MessagesAlert IconsThere are three alert icons that may appear on the main screen.SUSPENDED ALARM ICONSThe alarm inhibit icon appears in the parameter boxes when an individual parameter’s alarms are turned OFF.When a red bell icon appears in the top waveform slot, all the monitor’s audible alarms have been silenced. The duration of the silence condition appears to the right of the bell icon.2 Min = 2 minutes = permanentVisual alarms continue to be displayed as described.BATTERY ICONSBattery icons appear in the System Status Line indicating battery status when AC (Mains) power is not available and battery charging status when AC (Mains) is connected. The batteries change color depending on their charge status. A battery icon with a cardiac waveform also appears in the Heart Rate parameter box to indicate the status of the ECG module battery. See “Battery Indicators” on page 2-2 for more information about battery status and charging.Special Alarm ConditionsThe monitor’s alarms may be adjusted to suit the specific needs of the clinical environment. Special functions are included for the benefit of the user, so that “nuisance alarms” during patient setup do not become distracting to the caregiver. Alarm Silence and Standby Mode are available for this purpose. There are additional safeguards included to protect against the misuse of these functions.Alarms at Start UpAudible alarms do not occur until the first valid measurement has occurred for that parameter. Visual messages and alarms are present immediately when a module is activated.Alarm SilenceA SILENCE key is provided on the front panel of the monitor.SILENCE 2 MINUTESPressing this key momentarily begins a two minute alarm silence.

This function cannot be disabled.SpO2 Low Limit Off AlarmThere is an alarm message generated if the SpO2 Low Limit is set to OFF. The message LOW SAT OFF appears in yellow text in the Alarm Message Lines. This alarm message continues to display regardless of the SpO2 module being set to on or off in the PARAMS menu.The monitor also displays the alarm alarm inhibit icon in the lower right corner of the SpO2 numerical display box. The red alarm inhibit icon is normally displayed when any SpO2 limit is turned off.
MEDRAD Veris 86003 —6Triggering an AlarmA patient alarm is activated only when the value of one of the patient's parameters exceeds one of the alarm limits. For example, if the high saturation limit is set to 97%, the Veris monitor sounds an alarm when the patient’s SpO2 reaches 98%. It will not alarm at 97%.Similarly, if the low saturation limit is set to 90%, the alarm sounds when the patient's SpO2 falls to 89% or below.• To trigger an alarm, the patient's value must exceed the parameter's limit.Alarms TestingTo check and ensure that the audible and visual alarm limit settings are operating as expected, the user may do so by performing the following suggested procedure:1. Apply power to the monitor. Observe that all displays and LEDs illuminate.2. Place the SpO2 probe on your finger. Allow readings to stabilize.3. Observe the pulse rate that is being displayed and adjust the low pulse rate limit to a value greater than the observed pulse rate value.4. Verify that the low pulse rate violation message is displayed on the LCD message bar and that the alarm tone sounds.5. Once verified, return the low pulse rate or SpO2 waveform limit to the previously set value, or to one that is required for the patient to be monitored. WARNING !!

It automatically uses alternate sources to determine heart rate, if the primary source becomes unavailable.• The IBP pulse rate is used if the ECG waveform data is unavailable.• The SpO2 pulse rate is used if the ECG and the IBP waveforms are not available.• The NIBP pulse rate is used if the ECG, the SpO2, and the IBP waveforms are not available.Response times for ECG heart rate meter change from 80 BPM to 40 BPM and from 80 BPM to 120 BPM is less than or equal to 10 seconds.NOTE: The accuracy and range of the heart rate depends upon the source. See “Specifications” in Appendix C.NOTE: The NIBP-based heart rate is not a continuous measurement and is only current during an NIBP measurement.ECG MeasurementThe electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records the changing potential generated by electrical activity of the heart.Electrical currents influenced by the cardiac impulse flow through the body tissue around the heart. Electrodes, placed on the skin on opposite sides of the heart, transmit the electrical potentials to circuitry in the ECG module, which in turn amplifies, digitizes (converts analog signals to digital signals), and transmits this information to the Veris 8600 patient monitor by means of light pulses traveling through fiber optic cable.The Veris 8600 patient monitor ECG circuitry filters these received signals. The signals are used to display the ECG waveform to the user and to create a waveform and a pulse for scanner gating. Two different filter types are used. One filter is employed to display the ECG signal while the second filters the signal for gating purposes. For more information on gating see “Gating Signals” on page 5-3
MEDRAD Veris 86005 —2METHODTo obtain an overall view of the heart's electrical activity, three or five electrodes attached to a leadset detect electrical impulses from the patient's heart to the skin. The monitor calculates the difference in electrical force between two electrode sites. Electrode polarity (positive, negative, or ground) depends on the cable receptacle the lead cable is attached to and the lead selected on the monitor screen.The ECG circuitry amplifies, filters, and digitizes (converts analog signals to digital signals) the received electrical potentials. The ECG module converts these electrical signals into light pulses which the monitor receives and converts back into a recognizable signal.The ECG design provides for standard 3-lead, or on some systems 5-lead, monitoring. The 3-lead ECG provides conventional bipolar limb leads (I, II, III). The 5-lead ECG provides additional aVR, aVL, aVF, and V views.The monitor has automatic lead switching capability for 5-lead monitoring, which may be selected by the user. If a lead becomes detached or is unmeasurable, the monitor can automatically display an alternate lead view using the remaining leads.STABILITY OF ACCURACYThe accuracy of the monitor is not affected by arrhythmia or other physiological conditions where the electrocardiogram amplitude and heart rate are within the detectable limits specified for the monitor. The monitor has signal filtering in the 60 Hz and 50 Hz bands that reduce electrical interference from the AC (mains) power sources.The accuracy of the ECG is affected by the static and gradient magnetic fields. Determine only rate and rhythm with the patient in the presence of a static and gradient magnetic field.If a defibrilator is used on a patient, the ECG traces disappear. The traces resume within 10 seconds after defibrilation is complete.ECG moduleThe ECG module uses a Fiber Optic Transmit/Receive technology. The ECG module is a battery-powered, fiber optic interface from the patient to the monitor.
5 —35 —ECGGating SignalsThe input gating signal is derived from any one of two sources—ECG or Plethysmogram (SpO2) waveform and is available in 2 user-selectable forms, pulse or waveform. An icon of the gating signal source and a visual indication appears at the upper left corner of the heart rate numerical display box.ECG GATINGElectrical currents influenced by the cardiac impulse flow through the body tissue around the heart. Three or five electrodes, placed on the skin on opposite sides of the heart, transmit the electrical potentials to circuitry in the ECG module, which in turn transmits this information to the Veris monitor by means of light pulses. This information is further transmitted to the ECG gating interface. The ECG gating interface then produces a signal out, which can be used by the MR scanner electronics to cardiac gate an MR scan. The coupling between the ECG module and the Veris monitor, and between the Veris monitor and the gating interface, provides complete isolation of the patient from the gating interface and MR scanner.
MEDRAD Veris 86005 —4ECG Monitoring (Electrocardiogram)The following instructions describe procedures for preparing a patient for ECG monitoring.Shown below is the patient monitor with a fiber optic cable, ECG module, and a 3-lead leadset (left) and a 5-lead leadset (right) attached.Figure 5-7: ECG Cable Connection with the ECG Module• Use only recommended leadsets. The use of leadsets not recommended could result in injury, such as patient burns. Use only the leadset that is included with your Veris monitor.• Use only recommended electrodes. The use of other electrodes could result in injury, such as patient burns. Use only ConMed Invisatrace electrodes or other electrodes specifically recommended by Medrad with the Veris monitor.• The ECG signal is not intended for diagnostic use. Interference due to static and gradient magnetic fields can occur. Determine only rate and rhythm during ECG use.• This device is not intended for intracardiac ECG applications. Use the ECG monitor and accessories only as directed.• Do not place defibrillator paddles on or next to ECG patient electrodes. Contact between defibrillator paddles and ECG electrodes could injure the patient.• The conductive parts of the ECG electrodes should not come in contact with other conductive parts, including earth ground. Such contact could result in patient injury, death, or equipment damage. WARNING !!
5 —55 —ECG• There is no defibrillator synchronization output on the Veris monitor. Make no connections between the Veris system and a defibrillator.• PACEMAKER PATIENTS: This device does not include pacemaker spike rejection capability. Heart rate readouts derived from the ECG patient connections are likely to display erroneous high or erratic rates when a pacemaker is in use. Keep pacemaker patients under close surveillance. For pacemaker patients it may be advisable to select the SpO2 function as the primary heart rate source.• The heart rate calculated by the ECG module may be affected by cardiac arrhythmia.• Leakage currents may increase if other equipment is interconnected to the patient. The increased leakage currents may present a hazard to the patient.• ECG electrodes can cause skin irritation. Change the electrodes and reposition every 24 hours or sooner if there is sign of inflammation.• Place the ECG module out of the imaging volume. Make certain that the module is stationary (i.e., not moving or vibrating)• All metallic wires going into the magnet bore will drain off RF power; the fiber optic cables are non-conductive and will not drain off power or heat up. For RF exposures up to specific absorption rates (SAR) of 2.0 W/kg, the ECG leads will not cause patient burns when they are properly insulated and free of loops. Monitoring of ECG at very high RF exposures, above 2.0 W/kg, is not recommended for the general patient population. Such monitoring should be attempted on conscious patients with good temperature reflex so they may warn the operator of excessive heat at monitoring sites.• All cables should be watched carefully during patient loading and unloading to avoid entanglement with the patient table mechanisms. Cables and the ECG module should not be permitted to swing or move during scanning to avoid baseline wander.• The "T" wave may become excessively large or inverted with the patient in the magnetic field. This effect is due to electromagnetic flow induced voltage and may interfere with QRS detection. Try other leads and/or electrode placements for best results. WARNING !! CAUTION !!
MEDRAD Veris 86005 —6ProtectionThe ECG module protection against electric shock is of Type CF with protection against the effects of defibrillation.ECG PerformanceThe Veris monitor properly counts normal rhythms with T-Wave heights to 80% of the QRS height at a heart rate of 80 BPM.• The presence of tall T-waves greater than 80% of the R-wave may result in a double counting of beats.The Veris 8600 monitor complies to AAMI EC13-2002 with exceptions. The monitor does not reject beats of 10ms or less in duration and 1mV or less in amplitude per EC13 section 5.2.6.The monitor employs a one Hertz filter that allows extraction of ECG waveforms in an MRI environment. Although this design deviates from requirements of EC13 per sections 5.2.9.7 and 5.2.9.8, there is a minimal affect to the aspect ratio, impulse response and the ST component of the ECG waveform.The Veris monitor does not provide pacemaker pulse detection and pacer indication per EC13 section 5.2.9.12 and ESU suppression is not provided per section 5.2.9.14. Since the monitor is intended for indoor use, the functional ECG temperature range is specified as 15° C to 35° C.Electrode SelectionMEDRAD recommends using ConMed Invisatrace electrodes. These electrodes are MRI safe.See “Accessories” in Appendix D for a complete list of recommended electrodes and accessories. WARNING !!
5 —75 —ECGECG Module InterfaceThe ECG module is a battery-powered, fiber optic interface from the patient to the monitor. The module has five color-coded connectors along its front surface to interface with the ECG leadsets and 2 color-coded fiber-optic connectors on the rear surface to interface with the Veris monitor.NOTE: The ECG module protection against electric shock is of type CF, with protection against the effects of defibrillation.NOTE: Always keep the ECG module on the charger when not in use, or when anticipating a period of prolonged inactivity.The ECG module contains an internal, rechargeable battery. A power switch is provided on the rear of the module. When the monitor is not in use, make certain that the power switch on the ECG module is off to extend battery life. The battery is not user-serviceable and cannot be replaced.ECG Module Ports And SwitchesThe following graphic and table details the ports and switches on the ECG module.Figure 5-8: ECG Module Ports, SwitchesItem Name Description1Patient Connectors Color-coded connections for ECG leadset.2Battery charger connection Port for plugging the ECG module to the charger.3Power Switch This is the power on/off switch. 4Connection to monitor Fiber optic input/output connections to send ECG signal to the monitor.1234

5 —115 —ECGECG MonitoringPatient PreparationProper patient preparation and placement of the electrodes is the single most important factor in obtaining a good ECG signal.1. Have a thorough understanding of the patient’s history. This may assist in determining where electrodes are placed.2. Prepare the patient by ensuring that hair is removed from the locations where you intend to place the electrodes. Use Nu-Prep gel with cotton gauze or a washcloth. A small amount of Nu-Prep gel should be applied to the cotton gauze or wash cloth. The area where the electrode is to be placed should then be thoroughly cleaned by rubbing it in a circular motion.3. ConMed Invisitrace electrodes are recommended for use with the Veris monitor. They should be placed on the prepared locations ensuring that they securely adhere to the skin surface. NOTES: Do not use alcohol. Alcohol removes electrolytes from the skin and decreases the quality of the electrical contact. Medrad recommends the use of ConMed Invisitrace electrodes. These electrodes are MRI compatible. See “Accessories” in Appendix D for a complete list of recommended electrodes and accessories. Use three (or five) new, MR-compatable electrodes.• Connect only MEDRAD approved 3-lead or 5-lead ECG cables from the patient to the ECG module. Do not connect any other signal source to the ECG module.• When positioning the patient in the MR scanner, locate the electrodes less than four inches from each other and do not loop the leadset. Insulate the leadset from the patient. It is not dangerous for loops to form in the fiber optic cable.• Use only accessories designated for use with this monitor. Use of accessories not designated for use with the Veris monitor can cause inaccurate measurements and/or a safety hazard for the patient.• Do not allow the conductive parts of the patient electrodes to contact other conductive parts, including ground (earth). WARNING !! CAUTION !!
MEDRAD Veris 86005 —12• Static magnetic fields can cause reversible electrocardiogram changes. Determine only rate and rhythm with the patient in the presence of a static magnetic field.• High Frequency (HF) surgical equipment may affect the operation of the ECG unit. The system is not designed to operate in the presence of ESU interference.Lead PlacementThe monitor provides ECG options for 3- and 5-lead patient setups. The following instructions describe both the 3- and 5-lead configurations. It is important to use the MEDRAD recommended leadset to ensure patient safety.• When positioning the patient in the MR scanner, locate the electrodes less than four inches from each other and do not loop the leadset. Insulate the leadset from the patient.3-LEAD SETUPThe three major planes that detect electrical activity are Lead I, Lead II, and Lead III, known as the standard or conventional bipolar limb leads. Lead II (RA and LL), commonly known as the standard lead configuration, is often used for monitoring because its waveform characteristics are typically most prominent. For general monitoring purposes, Leads I and II are most commonly used.• Lead I produces good P waves, reflecting atrial activity.• Lead II produces good QRS complexes, reflecting ventricular activity.Place the electrodes on the patient as shown in the illustration below. Leads I, II, III may be selected in the monitor’s DISPLAY window.Figure 5-12: Electrode Locations for 3-Lead Setup CAUTION !! CAUTION !!LALLRA

Do not pull on the cable to remove it from the monitor.
MEDRAD Veris 86005 —16ECG Auto Lead SwitchingThe monitor may have the ability to display alternate leads in cases of fault in the selected lead while the unit is set for 5 lead ECG.The monitor uses the RA electrode in deriving all lead views. Therefore, failure of the RA electrode results in no leads being available. The monitor identifies the RA electrode as having failed with the message ECG LEADS OFF. The same message displays when both the LA and LL electrodes fail.Lead failure assumes that the signal is lost from an electrode that is required for the desired lead view. Loss of a signal from unnecessary electrodes does not cause lead switching.Primary LeadThe monitor identifies a primary lead that is used to report heart rate numerical data. If no leads are displayed, the primary lead defaults to lead II. If ECG waveforms are displayed, the monitor selects the waveform closest to the top of the screen as the primary lead. Lead switching only occurs in the primary lead view.Lead failure during monitoring causes one of the following results:1. If a failure occurs in the primary lead, while currently being displayed, the system attempts to switch from the current lead view to an alternate lead view. The system switches to a valid (non-failed) lead view if a valid lead exists. The failed electrode is indicated by an alarm message. The slot label of the primary lead visibly changes to the new lead view. The alternate waveform is drawn in the slot.2. If the failure occurs for Lead II, while no ECG leads are displayed, the primary lead is changed to an alternate lead. The smart heart rate is determined from the new lead view. No lead switching is apparent from the main screen.3. If no alternate is available for a primary lead, an ECG: LEADS OFF alarm is generated. The smart heart rate defaults to the next available source, indicated by a change of the heart rate numerical display. No lead switching occurs.4. If the required electrodes for a displayed non-primary lead are not available, an error message displays. The waveform becomes a straight line. No lead switching occurs.When the lead fail condition is corrected, the system reverts back to the original lead that displayed before the fail condition occurred.
5 —175 —ECGAlternate Lead PriorityThe ECG monitor automatically determines lead switching as shown below.NOTE: Lead switching is only available in 5-lead setup.In cases indicated by a dash, no switching occurs, since the electrode is unused for that selected lead. In cases where LL fails, no switching occurs because that electrode is required for each selectable lead configuration.5 LeadElectrode Off LL LA RA V RLPrimary Lead Alternative LeadLead I NONE II III — —Lead II NONE — III — —Lead III NONE II — — —Lead V NONE II III II —Lead aVL, aVR, aVF NONE II III — —
MEDRAD Veris 86005 —18Gating InterfaceThe source of the gating signal may arise from the ECG or SpO2. The gating signal from either of these sources may be delivered to the scanner in two user-selectable forms—waveform or pulse.•Waveform output: one of the following: 1mV ECG waveform or a plethysmogram (SpO2) waveform.•Pulse output: 1mV pulse amplitude and 50 msec pulse width, synchronous with the r-wave or corresponding peak of the plethysmogram (SpO2) waveform.The delay time from detection of the ECG signal at the patient to the input of the MR scanner is less than or equal to 5 milliseconds.One of two icons appears in the upper left corner of the heart rate numerical display box. These icons represent the gating signal output—either waveform or pulse. The icon is the same color as the ECG waveform color. See Step 6 below.The gating function is user-selectable: OFF, ECG Waveform, ECG Pulse, SpO2 Waveform, or SpO2 Pulse. The default is OFF.1. Connect the cable appropriate for the scanner to the GATING connection on the Veris patient monitor. NOTE: The gating cable must be IEC 950 or IEC 60950 compliant.Figure 5-16: ECG Gating ConnectionWaveform OutputPulse Output
5 —195 —ECG2. Connect the MR scanner end of the cable to the scanner interface receptacle. NOTES: To remove the gating cable, grip the cable connectors from both ends and pull back firmly. Do not pull on the gating cable to remove it from the monitor or scanner. Inspect the gating cable and connections regularly for signs of mechanical damage (e.g., cracked insulation, crimped, or bent wires).3. Setup the display for the desired lead view for the gating source in the Waveform 1 position.a. Select the DISPLAY menu with the menu knob.b. Select Waveform 1.c. Select the ECG lead to use for the ECG gating source. See “DISPLAY Softkey” on page 2-27 for a detailed description of configuring the display.4. Using the PARAMS menu select Gating and then select either ECG Wave or ECG Pulse.5. Configure the scanner in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. If using the universal EGC gating cable, always select Lead II on the scanner console. NOTE: In the event that the desired lead view is not available, the monitor switches to alternate lead views if possible, using the priorities specified in “ECG Auto Lead Switching” on page 5-16.6. An ECG waveform displays if the ECG waveform is selected for gating. If a pulse is selected a spike appears in place of the waveform. The waveform or “spike” is transmitted to the MR system. NOTE: Always select LEAD II on the MR scanner console. If you wish to use another configuration (I, II, III, aVL, aVR, or aVF), make this change at the Veris 8600 patient monitor. Selecting a lead configuration other than II at the MR scanner console may result in incorrect or no gating action.7. The LEAD SELECT control on the patient monitor can select either LEAD I, II, or III (or, with 5-lead configuration, aVL, aVR, or aVF).8. In the event one of the leads is disconnected, LEAD OFF displays on the patient monitor screen.
6 —16 — NIBPTheory of OperationThe monitor uses ComfortCuff™ technology to determine non-invasive blood pressure by means of oscillometry. The oscillometric method detects volume displacements within the artery and senses pressure variations within the blood pressure cuff during inflation. The monitor uses cuffs ranging in size from neonate to adult thigh.Heart RateThe NIBP pulse rate is used if the ECG, the SpO2, and the IBP pulse rates are not available. See “Heart Rate” on page 5-1 for more information.Comfort Cuff™ TechnologyComfortCuff™ technology measures NIBP while the cuff inflates. Consequently, a measurement is obtained more quickly and with less discomfort than with monitors which measure NIBP during cuff deflation.Description of NIBP Measurement The NIBP cuff begins to inflate at the beginning of the NIBP measurement cycle. As the cuff pressure approaches the diastolic pressure of the patient, the cuff pressure waveform begins to indicate the pulse waveform (see “Figure 6-1: NIBP Cuff Pressure and Pulse over Time” on page 6-2). The cuff pressure at this point is equal to the patient’s diastolic pressure, which is stored by the monitor.As cuff pressure continues to increase, the pulse waveform (as measured from BP cuff pressure fluctuation) becomes stronger, reaching its maximum at the patient's mean arterial pressure (i.e., when cuff pressure = mean BP). The monitor stores this value as mean pressure.As cuff pressure increases further, it approaches the patient’s systolic pressure, and the cuffs pulse waveform decreases in amplitude. The cuff pulse waveform disappears at the point where cuff pressure is equal to the patient’s systolic pressure.When the monitor determines that the cuff waveform has decreased to zero amplitude, it stores the cuff pressure value as the systolic pressure, and releases the pressure from the cuff. This typically occurs at about 10 mmHg over the patient’s systolic pressure. The cuff then rapidly deflates.NIBP Clinical Testing and AccuracyThis device was clinically tested per the requirements of EN 1060 and AAMI SP-10. The NIBP module as installed in the Veris 8600 monitor has been tested to meet the performance specifications listed in this manual.
MEDRAD Veris 86006 —2Cuff Inflation and Pressure ProtectionThe maximum cuff inflation rate is 15 mmHg/sec. The software limits inflation to 300 mmHg adult, 300 mmHg pediatric, or 150 neonate. A secondary circuit limits maximum possible cuff pressure to 316 mmHg in adult/pediatric mode and 158 mmHg in neonatal mode. Cuff pressure is allowed to remain above 30 mmHg for a maximum of 2 minutes.The monitor automatically deflates the cuff if the time limit is violated. The monitor contains hardware protection for overpressure conditions, pressure transducer failures, or microprocessor and pump control circuit failures.Figure 6-1: NIBP Cuff Pressure and Pulse over TimeB.P Cuff Inflation Pressure (Shown during inflation)Systolic PressureActual Blood Pressure WaveformDiastolic PressureCuff deflates rapidly after monitor determines systolic pressureTimeDiastolic Pressure Mean Pressure Systolic PressurePulse Waveform (Measured from B.P.

6 —36 —NIBPNIBP MonitoringThe following instructions describe procedures for preparing a patient for monitoring using the ComfortCuff™ NIBP module.Shown below is the monitor with an adult size blood pressure cuff and 5 meter extension tubing. This adult arm cuff is one of many blood pressure cuffs available. Use only NIBP accessories recommend by MEDRAD. See “Accessories” in Appendix D.The monitor has a quick connect/disconnect fitting for the NIBP extension tubing. The patient end of the tubing has a threaded fitting that accepts any MEDRAD NIBP cuff. Figure 6-1: NIBP Cuff Connection• Check the patient frequently to ensure the NIBP cuff is not causing prolonged impairment of the patient’s circulation.• Repeated use of the STAT mode should be avoided. Prolonged or repeated use can lead to patient bruising. WARNING !!
MEDRAD Veris 86006 —4• Proper cuff size and placement is essential for accurate blood pressure measurement.• The accuracy of noninvasive blood pressure readings may be adversely affected by the presence of drugs or therapies which alter the patient's cardiovascular dynamics.• The sensitivity of blood pressure measurement may be affected when monitoring patients with intra-aortic balloon pumps.• Ensure that the NIBP extension tubing is not compressed or restricted in any way.NOTE: The interval timer does not start until the NIBP key is pressed. CAUTION !!
6 —56 —NIBPSelecting Cuffs and HosesMEDRAD blood pressure cuffs and extension tubes are recommended for use with this monitor. Use of other brands of cuffs may cause inaccurate measurements.Proper cuff size and placement is essential to assure accurate blood pressure measurement. The recommended cuff width-to-length ratio is about 2:1, so that if the cuff width is 40% of arm circumference, the cuff bladder length encircles 80% of the arm. A cuff that is too narrow results in falsely high pressure readings. A cuff that is too wide results in falsely low pressure readings.The cuff shown below on the left is too small for the arm, therefore, full cuff pressure is never applied to the artery. This causes an erroneously high blood pressure reading. The cuff shown on the right is of adequate width for the arm, and full cuff pressure is applied to the brachial artery.Figure 6-2: Blood Pressure Cuff SizeCuffs for thighs are available for large patients or those where neither arm is available for cuff placement. Blood pressure measured at the thigh is typically 20-30 mmHg higher (when the patient is standing, not prone) than blood pressure measured at the upper arm.Cuffs for pediatric and neonate patients are also available in a variety of sizes. See “Accessories” in Appendix D for available cuffs.
MEDRAD Veris 86006 —6Placing the NIBP CuffWrap the cuff snugly around the extremity, leaving enough room between the cuff and the extremity for two fingers. If the cuff is too loose, it cannot be inflated properly and may cause errors in measured BP values.• It is best to wrap a bare extremity; putting the cuff over clothing may cause errors in measured values.• Care should be taken to center the dot on the cuff directly over the brachial artery. (Shown below as a circle with a vertical line).• The extension tube should not be twisted or kinked.The end of the cuff (marked by an index line) should fall inside the range marked clearly on the inside of the cuff. If not, use a different size cuff.Figure 6-3: Blood Pressure Cuff Size RangePlace this side against the skinEste lado hacia la pielCe côte en contact avec la peau
MEDRAD Veris 86006 —7Procedure1. Check the System Status Line for the correct mode. The status line indicates Adult, Pediatric, or Neonate.2. Select a cuff as described previously in this section.3. Connect the BP cuff to the extension tube.4. Connect the extension tube to the monitor.5. Secure the cuff around the patient’s extremity.6. Make sure there are no kinks or other obstructions in the extension tube extending from the cuff.7. Press the NIBP key on the front keypad of the monitor.Pressing the NIBP key causes the monitor to take one measurement. The monitor may make a second attempt if there is excessive motion during the first attempt to take a measurement.Press momentarily the NIBP CYCLE/STAT key to begin taking Stat NIBP measurements. NIBP measurements are then taken repetitively for 5 minutes. The numerical parameters on the display are updated with each measurement.If an NIBP cycle time has been selected the monitor automatically takes NIBP measurements at scheduled intervals. Press the NIBP key to begin measuring at automatic intervals.If the monitor is placed in STANDBY MODE or AGENT ALARM STANDBY MODE, the monitor does not take NIBP cycle time readings.
MEDRAD Veris 86006 —8Taking NIBP MeasurementsFor optimum accuracy, the patient should keep the cuffed part of the arm at the same level as the heart. NIBP measurement points above the level of the heart give reduced pressure values. Measurement points below the heart level give increased values. These errors are due to the weight of the blood.Figure 6-4: Arm Position for NIBP MeasurementAn average measurement on a non-moving patient takes less than 40 seconds. At the end of each measurement, the cuff automatically deflates. The monitor automatically attempts a second measurement (with no displayed error message) if it cannot calculate a blood pressure on the first inflation.If a patient experiences a sudden dramatic drop in blood pressure, the system may not measure the blood pressure on the first attempt. The system automatically attempts another pressure measurement, and detects the change on the second attempt.Do not compress the cuff or the extension tube externally. Compression of the cuff or the extension tube causes measurement error. For optimum accuracy, the patient should remain still during blood pressure measurement. Excessive patient motion may adversely affect any oscillometric NIBP device.Heart
7 —17 — SpO2Theory of OperationThe monitor uses Digital Oximetry (DOX™) technology to measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO2).Heart RateThe SpO2 pulse rate is used if the ECG and the IBP pulse rates are not available. See “Heart Rate” on page 5-1 for more information.DefinitionHemoglobin exists in the blood in several forms:• Oxygenated (Oxyhemoglobin)• Reduced (Deoxyhemoglobin)• Dyshemoglobins (carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin.)In the monitor, SpO2 (pulse arterial oxygen saturation) is the ratio of oxygenated hemoglobin to the sum of oxygenated hemoglobin plus hemoglobin which is available for binding to oxygen, as expressed in the following formula:Dyshemoglobins, such as carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin, are not directly measured and therefore are not factored into the measurement.DOX™ Digital OximetryThe monitor does not use analog circuitry for signal processing. Digital signal processing in the microprocessor results in lower noise from circuitry components, resulting in a cleaner signal and better performance under low perfusion conditions. There is also improved rejection of noise from the patient and environment, due to the availability of the “true,” unfiltered sensor signal for digital signal processing.MethodThe digital pulse oximeter measures oxygen saturation and pulse rate using the principles of spectrophotometry and plethysmography. The sensor is completely non-invasive, and there is no heat source that could burn the patient.The pulse oximeter sensor contains two types of LEDs. Each type emits a specific wavelength of light. Since oxygenated hemoglobin and deoxygenated hemoglobin absorb light selectively and predictably, the amounts of these two compounds can be determined by measuring the intensity of each wavelength that passes through the measuring site.percent oxygen saturation oxyhemoglobinoxyhemoglobin deoxyhemoglobin+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------100×=
MEDRAD Veris 86007 —2The light from the LEDs shines into a pulsating vascular bed. A photodetector located opposite or alongside the LEDs measures the intensity of each wavelength transmitted through the monitoring site. The light intensity is converted to an electrical signal, which is input to the monitor. The effects of skin pigmentation, venous blood, and other tissue constituents are eliminated by separating out the pulsating absorption data.SpO2 Clinical Testing and AccuracyAll MEDRAD oximeters (DOX™ compatible) have SpO2 calibration tables which were originally generated by monitoring desaturated human patients or volunteers and matching their displayed SpO2 value to the value determined by sampling arterial blood and measuring functional SaO2 with a clinical laboratory grade multi wavelength optical oximeter (i.e. CO-oximeter). The final SpO2 calibration curve was then generated based upon numerous patients' data over the range of 40 to 99% SaO2. All accepted data were taken from patients with dyshemoglobin (i.e., carboxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin) concentrations near zero.This oximeter is a two-wavelength device, which is calibrated to measure functional SpO2 only when dyshemoglobin concentrations are near zero. The accuracy specifications of this device will not be met with high concentrations of dyshemoglobins. Significant concentrations of carboxyhemoglobin results in a higher displayed SpO2 value than is actually present in the patient.Special MR-compatible sensors help provide for patient safety in the MR environment because the sensor cable is made of a material that does not conduct electricity even if the cable is looped within the MR scanner. For the same reason, the sensor and cable are immune to electromagnetic interference, such as might be produced by high frequency (HF) surgical equipment. Each MR-compatible sensor uses a fiber optic light guide to carry light from the light sources to the patient. A separate light guide brings light, which has passed through the patient, to the light detector. The light sources and detector are located in the connector housing of the fiber optic sensor.Gating SignalsThe input gating signal is derived from any one of two sources—ECG or Plethysmogram (SpO2) waveform and is available in 2 user-selectable forms, pulse or waveform. An icon of the gating signal source and a visual indication appears at the upper left corner of the heart rate numerical display box.SPO2 GATINGSpO2 gating is dependent upon the patient's peripheral perfusion at the location where the sensor is placed. The pulse oximeter sensor is placed on the selected location of the patient. The signal generated from the patient's pulse is transmitted through fiber optic cables to the transducer portion of the SpO2 cable where it is converted to an electrical signal. The electrical signal is sent to the Veris monitor and then to the scanner which may be used to trigger the sequence.
7 —37 —SpO2SpO2 Monitoring Procedures (Pulse Oximetry)The following instructions describe procedures for preparing a patient for SpO2 monitoring.There are three SpO2 sensors available:• Adult finger-toe clip• Pediatric finger-toe clip• Neonate probeShown below are two of these attached to a sensor extension cable.The sensor is connected to the Veris monitor by means of an extension cable. The sensor extension cable contains electrically conductive material. Do not extend or coil the SpO2 sensor extension cable into the magnet bore.The monitor's SpO2 extension cable accepts only fiber optic sensors.Figure 7-1: Sensor Connection for SpO2Adult Finger Probe Neonate Probe
MEDRAD Veris 86007 —4• The pulse oximeter sensor may cause skin irritation and pressure necrosis. Inspect the pulse oximeter sensor site every two to four hours or per hospital protocol. Move the sensor to a different location if skin irritation is present.• Excessive amounts of motion at the sensor sites may cause errors in reading. Attempt a reading when motion has stopped, or move the sensor to another site.• The sensor extension cable contains electrically conductive material. Do not coil or extend the sensor extension cable into the magnet bore!• To remove the SpO2 connector, grip the connector's retaining ring (in the middle of the connector) and pull back gently. The retaining ring slides back and unlocks the connector. Do not attempt to unscrew.Attaching the Probe to the Monitor 1. Press the ON/OFF or STANDBY button to turn on the monitor.2. Connect the SpO2 sensor extension cable to the monitor. Align the red dot on the monitor’s SpO2 receptacle with the red dot on the black SpO2 connector housing. Push the connector firmly into the receptacle.3. Select the appropriate probe and attach the probe to the patient (refer to the next section). Attach the probe's connector to the SpO2 sensor extension cable.Attaching the Probe to the PatientSelect the appropriate probe and application technique from the following pictures and descriptions. The selected probe should be cleaned before use.• Attaching the probe too tightly to the skin may generate inaccurate readings (by reducing blood flow to the target area) and cause blisters on the patient's skin. (Lack of skin respiration, not heat, causes the blisters.)• The protection against the effects of electric shock of the Pulse oximeter function is of type BF. This protection is contained in the fiber optic sensor cable. CAUTION !! CAUTION !!
7 —57 —SpO2• Fiber optic sensors can be damaged if subjected to severe stress, such as pulling, bending, or crushing. The sensor (including the connector cable) should not be stepped on, jerked or bent into a very tight arc (radius less than 2 inches). It is recommended to use tape to strain-relieve the fiber optic cable to the patient couch before attaching the sensor to the patient.• Reposition the probe at least once every 24 hours to allow the patient's skin to respire.• Do not extend or coil the SpO2 sensor extension cable into the magnet bore. There is a potential for thermal heating of the extension cable, caused by the interaction between the MR system’s RF energy and the electrically conductive sensor extension cable.• Use only oximeter probes supplied with, or specifically intended for use with, the Veris 8600 patient monitor.• Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins, such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin, affects the accuracy of the SpO2 measurement.•SpO2 measurement may be affected in the presence of high ambient light. Shield the probe area (with a surgical towel, for example) if necessary.• Dyes introduced into the bloodstream, such as methylene blue, indocyanine green, indigo carmine and fluorescein, may result in inaccurate SpO2 readings.• Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as use of a blood pressure cuff or extremes in systemic vascular resistance, may cause an inability to determine accurate pulse and SpO2 readings.• The light source portion of the SpO2 sensor must be properly positioned over the nail bed for the plethysmographic waveform to appear.• The SpO2 waveform display is not necessarilly directly proportional to pulse volume. The SpO2 waveform display is not automatically gain adjusted.• Remove fingernail polish or false fingernails before applying SpO2 probes. Fingernail polish or false fingernails may cause inaccurate SpO2 readings. CAUTION !!
MEDRAD Veris 86007 —6Finger Probe Application for Adults1. Attach the finger probe to the patient as shown. Be sure to fully insert the patient's finger into the probe. Run the fiber optic cable away from the hand. For patients with long fingernails, use the neonatal probe.2. Apply the sensor with the light source positioned directly over the nail-bed, and the detector over the fleshy portion of the finger. NOTES: Do not tape over the pulse oximeter sensor housing. Taping over the housing may cause injury and sensor failure due to excessive pressure. If the sensor needs to be secured, place tape over the cable, immediately behind the sensor. The sensor must be properly positioned for a plethysmographic waveform to appear. Placing tape too tightly around an extremity reduces blood flow, thus diminishing the amplitude of the plethysmographic waveform. If possible, do not place the pulse oximeter sensor on the same extremity as the blood pressure cuff or an arterial line. Place the pulse oximeter sensor on the side of the patient opposite the blood pressure cuff or an arterial line. The occlusion of the blood flow during blood pressure determinations could affect saturation readings. The pulse oximeter sensor is light sensitive. Too much ambient light makes it difficult for the system to provide accurate readings. The system provides a high ambient light alarm message when it is necessary to shield the sensor from extraneous light sources such as phototherapy light or infrared heating lamps.Figure 7-2: Finger Sensor Placement
7 —77 —SpO2Neonate Probe PlacementIn situations where a finger sensor is not practical, a MEDRAD neonate probe can be used. The sensor pads are small, light-weight, and adjustable.The neonate probe can be placed using adhesive tape. Special care should be taken not to restrict blood flow in the finger tip.TAPE PREPARATION OF NEONATE PROBEAttach the two sides of the neonate probe to a pre punched neonate tape strip as shown in “Figure 7-3: Tape Prep for Neonate Probe Placement”. Select either the standard or small separation as appropriate. When using the neonate probe on a toe, it can be helpful to cut the tape strip along the length.Figure 7-3: Tape Prep for Neonate Probe PlacementFINGERNOTE: Proper application of the neonate probe on the finger is essential.

MEDRAD Veris 86007 —10SpO2 Peripheral GatingPeripheral (SpO2) gating provides an alternative to ECG gating. (See “Gating Interface” on page 5-18.) It utilizes the signal obtained from the pulse oximeter sensor.Figure 7-8: SpO2 Peripheral Gating ConnectionThe pulse oximeter signal is obtained from the patient and displayed on the monitor. To utilize the peripheral gating function on the monitor a cable is attached to the GATING connector of the monitor with the distal end connected to the SpO2 receptacle of the MR scanner.NOTE: Gating cables are scanner specific. If a specific cable does not exist for your particular scanner, the universal cable may be used.The source of the gating signal may arise from the ECG or SpO2. The gating signal from either of these sources may be delivered to the scanner in two user-selectable forms—waveform or pulse.•Waveform output: one of the following: 1mV ECG waveform or a plethysmogram (SpO2) waveform.•Pulse output: 1mV pulse amplitude and 50 msec pulse width, synchronous with the r-wave or corresponding peak of the plethysmogram (SpO2) waveform.The delay time from detection of the SpO2 signal at the patient to the input of the MR scanner is less than or equal to 20 milliseconds.
MEDRAD Veris 86007 —11One of two icons appears in the upper left corner of the heart rate numerical display box. These icons represent the gating signal output—either waveform or pulse. The icon is the same color as the SpO2 waveform color when SpO2 is selected for gating.The gating function is user-selectable: OFF, ECG Waveform, ECG Pulse, SpO2 Waveform, or SpO2 Pulse. The default is OFF.1. Connect the cable appropriate for the scanner to the GATING connection on the Veris patient monitor. NOTE: The gating cable must be IEC 950 or IEC 60950 compliant.2. Connect the MR scanner end of the cable to the scanner interface receptacle. NOTES: To remove the gating cable, grip the cable connectors from both ends and pull back firmly. Do not pull on the gating cable to remove it from the monitor or scanner. Inspect the gating cable and connections regularly for signs of mechanical damage (e.g., cracked insulation, crimped, or bent wires).3. With the menu knob select the PARAMS menu.4. At Gating select either SpO2 Wave or SpO2 Pulse.5. Configure the scanner in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.Waveform OutputPulse Output
8 —18 — IBPTheory of OperationThe IBP monitoring module is intended for direct pressure monitoring using an intra-arterial catheter, a continuous flushing system, and an IBP transducer. The IBP module provides analog to digital conversion of the transducer signal.The IBP module processes continuous digital patient data that can be displayed as waveform and numerical values. The module supports up to two separate IBP channels simultaneously. For arterial and pulmonary artery IBP measurements the numerical values for systolic, diastolic, and mean pressure are computed and displayed.Heart RateThe IBP pulse rate is used if the ECG pulse rate data is unavailable. See “Heart Rate” on page 5-1 for more information.Method of MeasurementThe IBP module uses standard invasive pressure monitoring techniques. A bridge transducer is measured by a highly accurate analog to digital converter. The measuring circuit uses a 5 volt excitation voltage that provides a transfer function of 25 micro-volts per mmHg of pressure.The signal is buffered and brought to the A/D converter, which is configured for a full scale signal of ±25 millivolts. The circuit has a potential measuring range of ±1000 mmHg of pressure. This range is restricted to -20 to +300 mmHg for actual monitoring purposes. There is no analog amplification of the transducer signal.The module uses a rate of 50 samples per second for each of the two independent IBP channels. The resulting measurement resolution is slightly less than 0.5 mmHg. The numerical IBP value is reported by the 8600 monitor at a resolution of 1 mmHg.Non-pulsatile IBP sites (LA, RA, CVP, or ICP) are reported as mean numerical values. The non-pulsatile mean value is an average of the last 200 samples taken over a period of approximately 4 seconds. The values for pulsatile sites (ART, PA, RV, and LV) are reported as an average of the last eight calculated values.The IBP heart rate is reported as an average of the last 16 heart rate values. The software also scans for sudden changes in heart rate and overrides the averaging function when the condition occurs.IBP Clinical Testing and AccuracyThe invasive blood pressure module is in compliance with applied standard IEC 60601-2-34 and has been tested to meet the performance specifications listed in this manual. The module as installed in the Veris monitor has been clinically tested for performance with a variety of patients and specific disposable invasive blood pressure transducers.
MEDRAD Veris 86008 —2IBP MonitoringInvasive Blood Pressure (IBP) allows monitoring of Real-Time Invasive Blood Pressure with the use of a Blood Pressure Transducer. The transducer converts the hydrostatic signals into electrical signals which are displayed graphically on the monitor.Figure 8-1: IBP Cable Connections with Interface Cables, Patient ConnectionsIBP Interface CablesTransducersDisposable Intravenous Sets
8 —38 —IBPInvasive Blood Pressure Transducers and Interface CablesAs for all accessories, cables and transducers should comply with UL and IEC standards for medical equipment. Use only pressure transducers which have been recommended by MEDRAD. Please note that MEDRAD does not sell or distribute transducers. The following are examples of disposable transducers which meet the Medrad specification of an electrical cable that does not exceed 14 inches in length:• Abbott Transpac IV (REF 42582-05)• B. Braun Combitrans (REF 5202620)• Edwards/Baxter Truwave (REF PX600F & PX260)• Medex Transtar (REF MX950)• Use transducers whose electrical cable length does not exceed 14 inches. Failure to follow this instruction could produce a patient burn or shock hazard resulting in serious injury or death. IBP Interface CableThere are 4 IBP interface cables. Each one is specific for a particular transducer. The cables can be connected to the monitor through IBP1 (Port Channel 1), IBP2 (Port Channel 2), or both.Transducer specifications and the interface cable which fits each specific type are listed in Appendix F: "IBP Transducer Specifications”.• Failure to follow proper invasive blood pressure monitoring and insertion techniques may cause clots leading to cerebral or pulmonary embolism resulting in serious patient injury or death. Follow all manufacturer’s instructions and precautions provided with the transducer and intra-arterial catheter.• Do not coil or extend the IBP interface cable in the magnet bore. This could result in patient shock or burn. All cables must be straight, not coiled, and routed down the center of the scanner table.• Use transducers with an electrical cable length of 14” or less. WARNING !! WARNING !!
MEDRAD Veris 86008 —4• Do not place the IBP transducer in the bore of the magnet. This could result in degraded measurement accuracy. Ensure the transducer is outside of the magnet bore.• Place only the disposable tubing portion of the IBP kit in the magnet bore to ensure patient safety and improve measurement accuracy. Use a disposable set which is a minimum of four feet (1219 mm) in length.• Calibrate (zero), the transducer when changing or modifying transducer tubing.• When changing or modifying a transducer tubing set, ensure that the entire fluid path is free of air bubbles. Do not allow air bubbles to enter the the catheter. CAUTION !!
8 —58 —IBPIBP Monitoring ProcedureThe following instructions describe procedures for preparing a patient for invasive blood pressure monitoring. We recommend IBP transducers that have a required specification of 5 microvolts/mmHg. and the frequency response at 20 hertz. There are several to choose from.Each IBP channel has its own dedicated IBP port that is located on the side of the monitor.Figure 8-2: IBP PortsThe IBP ports are customized 5-pin female sockets and are designed to accept only MEDRAD compatible IBP interface cables.The transducer specifications and information for obtaining transducer cables is located in Appendix F: "IBP Transducer Specifications” of this manual.IBP Port Channel 1IBP Port Channel 2
MEDRAD Veris 86008 —6IBP Safety• Do not extend the distal portion of the transducer with the micro-chip into the bore of the magnet.• The accuracy of invasive blood pressure readings may be adversely affected when used on patients with intra-aortic balloon pumps.• For accurate performance, IBP transducers must conform with the specification designated by MEDRAD, Inc. Follow the instructions provided with your transducer.• Accuracy of the IBP measurement can be affected by poor setup of the transducer or fluid system. Follow hospital protocols for invasive blood pressure monitoring.• Possible shock hazard. Avoid using metal components in IBP fluid systems.Setup and User CalibrationThe IBP monitoring system requires the clinician to periodically calibrate the monitor. The air vent stopcock of the transducer is opened and the transducer is exposed to the ambient room pressure. The monitor reads the transducer signal and makes adjustments to compensate for small changes in the transducer and/or ambient pressure.This operation is described as having “zeroed” the IBP monitor. Each time a new IBP site is setup, the clinician must zero that channel. The channels may be zeroed together or independently.Although waveforms are always present, the monitor does not show numerical values until the monitor is zeroed. While the monitor calibrates, it is possible to observe the correction of the waveform.The monitor must be zeroed when:• The monitor is powered up.• The transducer is changed or the cable is re-inserted.• The patient size is changed; Adult, Pediatric, or Neonatal Mode.It is recommended that the IBP channels be zeroed at least every 8 hours when sustained IBP monitoring is necessary.To zero the IBP channels for monitoring:1. Setup the IBP fluid system and transducer according to hospital protocols.2. Verify that the correct alarm limits are entered into the ALARMS window of the monitor. WARNING !! CAUTION !!
8 —78 —IBP3. Connect the IBP interface cable to the Veris monitor.4. Connect the appropriate IBP interface cable to the transducer.5. The monitor displays the message NOT ZEROED in the informational alarm line. The message appears independently for each channel.NOTE: If a waveform slot is set to display IBP, the monitor shows a waveform immediately. This waveform is representative of the physiological patient data, but is not yet scaled until the IBP lines are properly zeroed. No numerical values are displayed for a channel until it has been zeroed.6. Select PARAMS and open the first window of parameters.Figure 8-3: Setting IBP in the PARAMS WindowNOTE: The example window shown contains factory default values.

Follow the directions for your transducer.10.Go to the PARAMS window by selecting and pressing the PARAMS softkey with the menu knob.11.Go to the IBP 1 or IBP 2 parameters. Move the cursor to the ZERO selection item in the PARAMS window. Set ZERO to One to begin zero calibration. NOTE: The ZERO setting can be changed to All to begin zero calibration of both IBP channels at the same time. The stopcock must be open on each transducer to be zeroed.12.When you zero the channel, numerical values appear in the IBP box in the lower right corner of the main display. The message ZERO GOOD briefly appears.13.Exit the PARAMS window.14.Return the transducer to its normal monitoring position. The numerical values for pulsatile IBP sites appears and displayed IBP waveforms resume their normal shape.NOTE: the monitor cannot calibrate to a zero offset that exceeds ± 150 mmHg. The monitor reports a ZERO FAIL message. Contact MEDRAD Service or your local representative if you cannot zero the monitor.NOTE: According to information I found and conversion used: at an elevation of 2,000 meters (6,561.7 ft.) the transducer will not calibrate.Zero Calibration (Quick)You can quickly zero the IBP channels using the softkeys on the main menu.1. Open the transducers to atmosphere pressure.2. Turn the menu knob to highlight ZERO IBP1 (or ZERO IBP2) from the main menu.3. Press in the menu knob to begin the zero calibration of the selected IBP channel.4. Wait until the message ZERO GOOD appears in the alarms message area.5. Close the transducers.
MEDRAD Veris 86008 —9Clinical Use and Arterial WaveformsA variety of physiological conditions alters the appearance of the IBP pressure waveforms. Conditions such as hypertension, shock, obstruction of the aorta, aortic valve disease, and pericarditis can affect the arterial pressure waveform.The arterial waveforms may also be affected by poor setup. The more common problems affecting arterial waveforms are overdamping, catheter whip and lack of periodic calibration.Overdamping is caused by air bubbles, thrombus formation at the tip of the catheter, or lodging of the catheter tip against the vessel wall. Overdamping exhibits itself as a poorly defined waveform without a noticeable dicrotic notch.Catheter whip is caused by excessive movement of the catheter tip within the vessel. Catheter whip exhibits itself as an erratic or noisy waveform.As described above, zero the IBP channels at least every eight hours or according to hospital protocol.Disparity between invasive and non-invasive blood pressure values normally occurs due to the difference in the measurement technique. Cuff pressure (NIBP) tends to be 5 to 10 mmHg lower than invasive (IBP) measurements. This disparity can be even more pronounced in hypothermic patients and with poorly arranged IBP tubing.NOTE: Position transducers at the same height as the patient’s heart for optimal measurement accuracy.
9 —19 — TemperatureTheory of OperationThe Veris monitor uses a fiber-optic thermometer to measure temperature. This provides accurate and reliable measurements in the MRI environment.This sensor probe features an environmentally inert, non-conductive, non-metallic, miniature probe, making it ideal for harsh operating conditions like the MRI environment, which includes conditions where high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI) such as RF field or high voltages exist. The probe itself is inert to chemical and biological agents and is ideally suited to applications where a completely non-reactive sensor is required or where other types of sensors would malfunction or become damaged.Figure 9: Temperature Probe SignalsThe temperature system is comprised of a probe, a fiber optic cable, and the optoelectronic sensor head containing detection optics, signal processing, and interfaces. The probe itself contains a patented, highly temperature-sensitive phosphor as its sensing element, and both the probe and phosphor are protected by a fluoropolymer sheath. The standard cable length is 3 meters.The temperature system uses a fluorodecay sensing technique. Pulsed light from an LED is sent down the optical fiber to energize the phosphor. The time decaying glow of the phosphor changes with temperature and is transmitted back to the sensor head where it is converted to a temperature reading. The temperature system uses a unique ratio measurement system to minimize inaccuracies due to signal loss from the fiber and connector.The temperature system is fully calibrated at the factory.Temperature-sensitive PhosphorOptical FiberTime-decaying phosphor emission pulse returns to detection circuitryIncident pulse of LED energizes phosphor; spontaneous emission occurs
MEDRAD Veris 86009 —2Temperature Monitoring ProceduresThe Veris monitor system provides for two temperature probes, allowing for patient temperature measurements from two different locations. The user is not required to use both probes simultaneously nor is one probe dominant over the other.Figure 9-1: Temperature Probe ConnectionSkin surface temperature monitoring is intended for the detection of hypothermic and hyperthermic conditions. The skin temperature sensor is designed for placement on the surface of the skin only.To insure the proper performance of the temperature accessories, follow the precautions listed below.• Skin abrasion and tissue burn hazard! Separate the monitor and temperature cables from electrocautery systems; keep both active and ground electrodes of the electrocautery system in close proximity so that the temperature sensor is outside the radio-frequency current field. WARNING !!
9 —39 —Temperature• Forced mating of the connectors without proper alignment may cause damage to the connectors and interruption in electrical continuity and optical alignment.• During use, do not entwine the cable with other electrical cables.• To remove the temperature connector, press on the locking clip and pull straight out. Do not pull on the temperature sensor cable to remove the temperature connector from the monitor.• Fiber optic sensors can be damaged if subjected to severe stress, such as pulling, bending, or crushing. The sensor (including the connector cable) should not be stepped on, jerked, or bent into a very tight arc (radius less than 1 cm). It is recommended to use tape to strain relieve the fiber optic cable to the patient couch before attaching the sensor to the patient.• Reposition the probe at least once every 24 hours to allow the patient's skin to respire. CAUTION !!
MEDRAD Veris 86009 —4Directions for Use with Skin Surface ProbePreparing the Equipment1. Press the ON/OFF or STANDBY button to turn on the monitor. Check the monitor settings for the correct setup.2. Connect the temperature probes to the monitor. NOTE: Take care to align the temperature sensor plug so that the locking clip on the plug lines up correctly with the receptacle on the side of the monitor. Forced mating of the connectors without proper alignment may cause damage to the connectors and interruption in electrical continuity. NOTE: The monitor’s temperature connection accepts any MEDRAD fiber-optic temperature accessory.3. Unwind the cable from the protective card and peel the sensor from the card.Attaching the Temperature Probe to the PatientMEDRAD recommends attaching the temperature probes at either the Axillary or Femoral location as shown in “Figure 9-2: Temperature Probe Locations” below.Figure 9-2: Temperature Probe Locations4. Prepare the skin site according to established protocol. Prepare the patient by ensuring that any hair is removed from the location(s) where you intend to place the temperature probe(s).5. Adhere the sensor to the skin site. Apply tape length-wise along the cable, directly over the flouroptic sensor as well as to the cable sheath.AxillaryFemoral
10 —110 — Anesthetic AgentsTheory of OperationsIntegrated CO2 and Agent Gas DetectorThe integrated detector measures carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), and five halogenated anesthetic agent gases using the same sample collection path and testing apparatus. The analyzer uses proprietary High IQ™ technology to identify and quantify agent gases. There are no moving parts, reducing size of the detector and enhancing reliability.The Veris monitor uses the sidestream method of measuring CO2 and anesthetic agent gases. Gas is drawn through a nasal cannula or sample line. The gas sample enters the monitor from a sampling tube into a water trap, which removes water vapor and particulate matter from the gas sample. The gas then enters the CO2 (agent) detector where it is analyzed.Agent Gas MeasurementThe agent detector samples gas breathed by the patient through a sidestream circuit. It measures the concentrations of CO2, N2O, and halogenated anesthetic agents in the sampled gas. The detector uses far-infrared measurements to identify concentrations of halothane, enflurane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, desflurane anesthetic agents and their mixtures.The analyzer uses the principles of infrared absorption spectrometry to measure anesthetic gases. The integrated detector determines the concentrations of anesthetic gases and CO2 by measuring the optical absorption of the sampled patient gas at a number of specific wavelengths in the medium to long-wave infrared region.AGENT ACCURACY OF MEASUREMENTThe accuracy of a single agent measurement is defined by the formula,where “m” is equal to the measurement in percent and “x” is the tolerance range.Example of 5% HAL measurement, calculating the high limit of the tolerance range.(5% HAL × 0.04Reading) + 0.1%Absolute = 0.3%5% HAL + 0.3%Tolerance = 5.3% Final tolerance range is 4.7% to 5.3% HAL.
MEDRAD Veris 860010 —2Gas Monitoring ProceduresThe following instructions describe procedures for preparing a patient for CO2, O2, N2O, and agent (AGT) monitoring.Sampling Circuit ConnectionsThe monitor uses a sidestream gas sampling circuit composed of a water trap, a sampling line and a sampling device. The water trap is a combination filter and moisture condenser. The same circuit is used for CO2, O2, N2O, and agent monitoring.Shown below is the patient monitor with a water trap and sample line connection. Please refer to “Accessories” in Appendix D for part numbers.Figure 10-1: Gas Sampling ConnectionThe monitor’s gas sampling connection (from the water trap) accepts gas sampling lines using the Luer style connections. It is important to use the recommended water trap and combinations in order to provide the correct flow rates for monitoring purposes.
10 —310 —Anesthetic AgentsGas Monitoring SafetyThe following instructions describe precautions and contraindications for gas monitoring. Use all safety procedures and protocols for anesthetic safety as designated by your health care facility.• Do not use this monitoring system in conjunction with highly flammable anesthetics such as cyclopropane or ether.• The monitoring system is not intended for monitoring gas mixtures containing methoxyflurane or halogenated hydrocarbons not specifically listed as a monitored gas.• Environmental pollution of nitrous oxide and halogenated agents may cause accuracy errors. Always use anesthetic gas scavenging systems (AGSS) with the monitoring system.• Infectious agents may be transferred between patients through the return of the monitor's exhaust to the patient's breathing circuit.• Infectious agents may be transferred between patients through contaminated masks and nasal cannulas. Change the sample devise and sampling line before use with each new patient.• Never attach intravenous tubes to gas sampling connections. Gas sampling lines may be inadvertently connected to intravascular fluid systems; allowing air into a blood vessel.• Use MEDRAD MRI compliant supplied gas cylinders only for verification of gas readings. They are suitable for use in the MRI environment. See “Accessories” in Appendix D for part numbers.• Use only MEDRAD water traps with this monitor.• Care should be taken to prevent gas tubing from being obstructed in any way by the scanner table or other equipment.• Change sample lines and sampling devices between each patient. Infectious agents may be transmitted through reuse of sampling lines.• Do not connect the monitor’s exhaust for return flow to the breathing circuit. Infectious agents may be transmitted through reverse flow from sampling devices.• Use of longer sampling lines or extensions increases the monitor’s response time and can affect accuracy. WARNING !! CAUTION !!
MEDRAD Veris 860010 —4Water TrapThe water trap has a connection located at the top that fits up and into the gas receptacle of the monitor. Figure 10-2: WaterChek™ 2+ Water TrapThe trap slides out of the front receptacle and can be quickly replaced if it becomes filled or occluded.

10 —510 —Anesthetic AgentsSampling DevicesShown below is a typical gas sampling device (nasal cannula) attached to a sample line. This nasal cannula is used for both CO2, O2, N2O, and agent (AGT) monitoring.Figure 10-3: Nasal CannulaIf using the nasal cannula, position it directly under the patient's nose with the prongs extending into the nostrils. Slide the adjuster forward to close the loop around the head.The nasal cannula is intended for single patient use only. Alternate sampling devices such as masks may be used if they have a female Luer-locking sampling entrance. Intubation breathing circuits require a sampling entrance near the connection to the endotracheal tube.The divided nasal cannula delivers O2 and samples for CO2.Intubated PatientsThe monitor can be used with intubated patients. Use recommended water traps and breath circuit adaptors. Check the trap reservoirs regularly. Check the breath circuit regularly for leaks or disconnections. Follow the directions provided with your endotracheal tube for additional precautions.• Additional adaptors between the endotracheal tube and the sampling entrance should not exceed five centimeters. CAUTION !!
MEDRAD Veris 860010 —6Standard breath circuit configurations are shown below beginning with a common endotracheal tube with a 15mm outside diameter. The circuit then extends to meet a standard 22mm inside diameter ventilation flex tube. Confirm the proper fit of all breath circuit components before attempting patient monitoring.Figure 10-4: Straight Ventilation Adaptor SetupFigure 10-5: Elbow Ventilation Adaptor SetupCalibration and StartupThe monitor automatically begins an auto-calibration sequence when powered up. During this time the monitor may display a flat capnogram for approximately ten seconds.

MEDRAD Veris 860010 —7Procedure for Gas Monitoring1. Check the Flow Rate settings in the PARAMS softkey window.2. Slide the WaterChek™ water trap into the gas receptacle of the monitor.3. If anesthetic agents are being used, attach a scavenging line to the exhaust port at the pedestal of the monitor. A waste gas recovery system should be used.4. Attach a sample line to the Luer fixture located on the front of the WaterChek™ water trap.5. Make sure the sampling line is not kinked or pinched.6. Attach a patient sampling device to the sampling line. Use either a nasal cannula, mask or ventilation tube adapter.7. Replace sampling devices, lines, and water traps if they become blocked or filled.OcclusionsThe monitor displays a visual message AGT: OCCLUSION if the gas sampling system is blocked. If the sampling line or water trap becomes partially blocked, the item should be replaced.Anesthetic Gas Exhaust RecoveryAlways use an exhaust gas recovery system when using anesthetic gasses. A scavenging kit can be used to connect the monitor to a gas scavenging system.1. Slide the tube over the nozzle of the exhaust port located on the back of the monitor base, near the DC power cord.2. Connect female Luer-lock end to an exhaust recovery system.A straight adaptor 19mm O.D./19mm I.D. with a male Luer-lock entrance is provided with the scavenging kit to provide a connection to scavenging tubing.The monitor displays AGT: NO EXHAUST if the scavenging line is blocked.
11 —111 — CO2, O2, and N2OTheory of OperationRespirationRespiration is measured via the CO2 monitoring module and is only available in Anesthesia models.Capnometry (Measurement of CO2)The Veris monitor measures CO2 concentrations and sends data suitable for a continuous waveform display. The monitor also detects end-tidal and fractional Inspired CO2 levels and displays the numerical values. End-tidal CO2 (EtCO2) is defined as the maximum CO2 concentration at the end of expiration. The monitor measures the CO2 concentration and displays the numerical value. The EtCO2 value is updated continuously with each breath cycle. The amount of CO2 in the gas mixture inhaled by the patient is the fractional Inspired CO2 (FICO2).The monitor measures CO2 using the principles of infrared absorption spectrometry. An unknown concentration of gas (CO2) is calculated by comparing its absorption of infrared light to that of a known standard. The absorption of light is directly related to the concentration of the gas. As infrared light passes through the sample gas chamber, the light transmitted is converted to a voltage signal. The monitor converts the voltage into CO2 concentration data that can be expressed numerically or as waveforms. The Beer's Law calculation is performed by the software of the Veris monitor.Infrared analysis of the gas samples is done using Beer’s Law. The formula for Beer’s Law is as follows:Infrared value of measured sample.Infrared value of light source.Exponential function.Extinction coefficient.Concentration of the gas sampleDistance measured through the sampleCONDITIONS OF USEThe Veris monitor has been calibrated with dry NIST-traceable calibration gases at room temperature and pressure (~ 21C, 740 mmHg). Given the small effect of water vapor on agent gas and CO2 measurements and the monitor’s built-in temperature and pressure measurements and compensations, this method of gas analysis per EN 864 is best described as ATPS (Ambient Temperature and Pressure, Saturated; 21C, 750mmHg, 100% Humidity Saturated).II0eελ()cd–=II0eελ()cd
MEDRAD Veris 860011 —2The Veris monitor is suitable for sustained pressure (breathing circuit) monitoring environments and has been tested per Clause 102 (Sustained Pressure) of EN 864.STABILITY OF ACCURACYThe monitor has an internal barometer and thermistor that allow compensation for changes over a range of temperature and atmospheric pressures. The monitor complies with EN 864 standards for cyclical pressure. The module as installed in the Veris monitor has been clinically tested for performance with a variety of patients.Measuring Oxygen (O2)The Veris monitor uses the sidestream method of measuring O2. The gas is sampled from the same gas intake system used in CO2 monitoring. The water trap removes moisture and particulate matter from the gas samples.METHODThe gas sample is measured using a reactive oxygen cell. The oxygen sensor is a galvanic electrochemical cell that works by a process known as “oxidation reduction.”Oxygen from the air comes in contact with a highly reactive metal, reacts with the metal and produces a current. As the oxygen reacts, this reactive metal is gradually being used up. Once the metal is used up, the cell is depleted and can no longer sense oxygen.The cell generates a voltage output proportional to the amount of oxygen in the sampled gas. This oxygen cell has an internal thermistor and circuitry that adjusts the output voltage based on current temperature of the cell.The voltage is read by the microprocessor and an O2 measurement is generated using predictive circuitry. This predictive function enhances response time of the O2 monitoring module.The relationship between gas concentration and pressure is calculated by the microprocessor. The numerical value displayed by the monitor (O2 Calculated) is generated using the following formula.The measured O2 predictive value is multiplied by a fixed value derived from room pressure divided by room ambient oxygen levels. The measurement is further adjusted by multiplying the ratio of the pressure determined at calibration (PC) with the current pressure (P0).There is a negligible effect on O2 measurements due to humidity.O2Calculated O2Measured 20.9O2Ambient------------------------------×PCP0------×=
11 —311 —CO2, O2, and N2OCONDITIONS OF USEThe O2 function is appropriate for measuring respiratory O2 concentrations in all patient populations. The O2 monitor is suitable for use in breathing systems and with the use of inhalation anesthetic agents.STABILITY OF ACCURACYThe oxygen cell contains temperature correction circuitry. The oxygen sensor temperature is maintained at a nominal 40 degrees Celsius to maintain a consistent performance.
MEDRAD Veris 860011 —4CO2 Monitoring ProcedureAllow the CO2 monitor to warm up and auto-calibrate before use. It is necessary to have the water trap sampling line attached so that the monitor draws the correct air flow.When a patient is connected, the monitor begins displaying the end-tidal and inspired CO2 values in the parameter box. The capnogram waveform, if selected as a displayed waveform, provides a graphic representation of the patient’s respiration cycle.The source of the numeric respiration rate is determined through capnography.USE OF NITROUS OXIDESince nitrous oxide has a similar infrared signature to that of CO2, and it affects absorption of CO2, special care must be taken when measuring CO2 while anesthetics are being used.INTERFERING GASSES FOR CO2The monitor will report small changes in CO2 when anesthetic agents and oxygen are used.

Consult with your transducer manufacturer, before using additional accessories with the Veris monitor.Transducer CablesInvasive blood pressure transducers are available with a variety of cable and connection styles. Consult with your transducer provider for specific transducers for use with MEDRAD, Inc., products. Transducers that are specifically cable terminated for the Veris monitor can be purchased through Fogg System Company, Inc. of Denver, Colorado, www.foggsystem.com.ComplianceAs for all accessories, cables and transducers should comply with UL and IEC standards for medical equipment.Defibrillation ProtectionThe MEDRAD-IBP module and port connection is defibrillation proof. Consult your transducer supplier for information about defibrillation protection of specific transducers and IBP fluid systems. CAUTION !!
MEDRAD Veris 8600F-2High Frequency InterferenceThe Veris monitor does not employ any external, protective isolating devices that are required to be used in conjunction with invasive blood pressure monitoring accessories during high frequency electrosurgery/electrocautery procedures. Use of invasive blood pressure transducers with internal isolation between the electronic bridge and the wetted parts is recommended for all IBP applications.
G-1Appendix G: Wireless CommunicationWireless Network Communication InterfaceThe Veris 8600 telemetry technology allows for RF communication up to 10 meters in the Faraday cage utilizing 2.4 gigahertz RF communication. The main monitor and remote display support a wireless network communication interface according to the 802.11b standard.Operation• Do not take the remote display into the MR Scanner room. The remote display contains ferromagnetic material and can be strongly attracted to the magnet causing a safety hazard.The remote display is an option to the Veris Cardiac and Anesthesia configurations.The remote display is standard on the Veris BasePlus configuration. The remote display looks similar to the main monitor that is in the MR room. The remote display must be in the control room and communicate to the main monitor via a wireless or hardwire serial connection. The remote display offers a way to control the Veris main monitor from the control room without going into the MR room. The remote display and main monitor are sychronized; what displays on the main monitor displays on the remote display at the same time. For example, if the user changes an alarm setting, both units display the ALARMS menu and the change as it takes place.When the remote display is turned on, it displays the message Please Wait Until Synchronization until it synchronizes with the main monitor. The main monitor sends its configuration, trend, and current screen configuration data to the remote display. This causes the main monitor and the remote display to be in the same state with the same data.NOTE: The remote display and main monitor cannot synchronize if they are at different software revisions. If the main monitor and the remote display cannot syncronize because the software revision is different, then the remote display displays the message Remote and Main have incompatible Software.After the main monitor and the remote display synchronize, the remote display mirrors what the main monitor is doing. The main monitor is the master. An icon displays in the heart rate (HR) parameter box, on both the remote display and the main monitor, to show that the main monitor and the remote display are communicating. (For more information on the heart rate parameter box, go to “ECG BOX” on page 2-9.) WARNING !!
MEDRAD Veris 8600G-2If communications are lost, the remote display displays the message Please Wait Until Synchronization and the units cycle through the synchronization process again after communications are restored. The communication icon on the main monitor (in the heart rate parameter box) does not display until communication is restored.The remote display contains the internal printer. For more information on printing, see “Printing and Data Ports” in Section 12.
