Revision A DASH 2000 Patient Monitor 2-11

2000 412-001
 EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW: Preparation for Use

Preparation for Use

Power Requirements At least one grounded duplex wall receptacle should be provided for each
monitor. The wall receptacle should be hospital grade and installed in a
suitable junction box. Power should be provided by a power line
dedicated solely to equipment requiring emergency power.

WARNING
Depending on battery charge, loss of power to the monitor
results in the loss of all monitoring functions.

Equipment Ground The ground pin of the wall receptacles and all exposed metal parts (beds,
radiators, water pipes, etc.) in the patient area should be connected
Requirements together and tied to the nearest equipotential ground point through a
bonded grounding system, or with a 10-AWG stranded copper grounding
cable. This equipotential ground point should be as close to earth ground
as possible. Use only three-prong, polarized, hospital-grade wall
receptacles to accept the three-wire, polarized plug on the power cord of
the monitor.

If a bonded grounding unit is not available, interconnect the ground pins

of all wall receptacles in the patient and monitor areas with 10-AWG (or
larger) stranded copper cables. This copper cable must connect to the
central grounding point. Do not jumper from ground pin to ground pin,
then to the central grounding point. The ground cabling must not carry
current, such as a grounded neutral, since the current flow will produce
differences in potential along the ground. These potential differences are
the main source for shock hazards to the users and patients.

Do not rely on conduit as a ground conductor. Plastic (PVC) pipes or

fittings used as conduit break up the ground path, which can present
potential shock hazards. The electrical ground system must be connected
to actual earth ground. If this is not possible, then a good reference
ground such as a metal cold water pipe or an electrically conductive
building component should be used. It is more important that all
grounded objects in the patient area are at the same potential than at
true earth potential.

2-12 DASH 2000 Patient Monitor Revision A

2000 412-001
 EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW: Preparation for Use

Monitor Ventilation The monitor is capable of producing as much as 170 BTu per hour of heat
load. This is equivalent to approximately 50 watts of energy.
Requirements
WARNING
Failure to properly ventilate the monitor may cause
equipment failure or improper monitoring conditions
which may endanger the patient being monitored.

CAUTION
Do not locate the monitor in an enclosed area that may
restrict the heat dissipated by it. Any restriction in air
flow causes a rise in internal temperature which may
result in equipment failure.

CAUTION
The monitor must be located no closer than 4 inches (10
cm) from any partition or wall. The monitor should be
approximately 12 inches (30 cm) from any overhead
partition or the ceiling.

Theory of Operation

General Monitor The theory of operation for the monitor, as covered in this part of the
section, is intended to provide an overall block level overview of the
Block Theory monitor for service technicians. A general understanding of the theory of
operation is required to effectively install, maintain or repair the
monitor.

More detailed theory of operation can be obtained by attending

manufacturer formal technical training classes. Regularly scheduled
technical training classes are held throughout the year at the
manufacturer training facility located in Jupiter, Florida, or in Freiburg
for Europe. If warranted, technical training classes may be scheduled at
customer sites or other locations in the field as well.

 EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW: Theory of Operation

Components

Power Supply PCB The power supply PCB mounts internally to the monitor rear casting
assembly. ItÕs a 40 Watts controllable single output, universal input
switching power supply, which has been designed to meet the safety
ground leakage current requirements laid down by IEC 60601 and
UL 544.

Acquisition PCB The acquisition PCB, or data acquisition system (DAS), located in the
monitor, is responsible for the acquisition of all vital-sign patient data.
Analog sensor/electrode input signals are amplified and conditioned by
hybrid assemblies, then converted to digital data. The digital patient
data is transferred across an isolation barrier via high-speed
opto-couplers to the main processor PCB for analysis and display.

The DAS consists of two isolated and one non-isolated sections which are
separated by a barrier that is capable of withstanding up to 6000 VDC
with respect to earth ground. Isolation is accomplished by using a
coupled inductor power supply and opto-isolation for signals crossing the
barrier.

Main Processor PCB The main processor PCB provides signal processing, system control, user
interface, and communications functions for the monitor, both color LCD

 EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW: Theory of Operation

Acquisition PCB The acquisition PCB, or data acquisition system (DAS), located in the
monitor, is responsible for the acquisition of all vital-sign patient data.
Theory Analog sensor/electrode input signals are amplified and conditioned by
hybrid assemblies, then converted to digital data. The digital patient
data is transferred across an isolation barrier via high-speed
opto-couplers to the processor PCB for analysis and display.

The DAS consists of two isolated (ECG/RESP and NBP, SPO2, TEMP,
IBP) and one non-isolated sections which are separated by a barrier that
is capable of withstanding up to 6000 VDC with respect to earth ground.
Isolation is accomplished by using a coupled inductor power supply and
opto-isolation for signals crossing the barrier.

PCB Block Diagram

Functional Circuits Functional circuits on the acquisition PCB include:

¥ Isolated power supplies generation,

¥ Patient cable input connector interface,

¥ ECG defibrillator protection,

¥ Patient signal generation (hybrids interface),

¥ Analog-to-digital conversion (patient signals),

¥ Data acquisition system (DAS) processing, and

¥ DAS communication interface and isolation barrier.

Revision A DASH 2000 Patient Monitor 2-17

2000 412-001
 EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW: Theory of Operation

PCB Functions The acquisition PCB is a microprocessor based data acquisition system
with patient isolated power supply included. The DAS can be divided
into four main sections:
1. Input sensor/electrode signal conditioning,
2. Analog to digital conversion,
3. Microprocessor/digital interface, and
4. Isolated power supply.

The input sensor/electrode conditioning for NBP, SPO2, TEMP and IBP
is accomplished by the Analog input hybrids and the ECG/RESP section
is accomplished by the HECTOR chip set with its own SPI interface to
the main processor board. Input signals are received from the DAS input
connector board. The NBP pressure hose is connected to a pressure
transducer which develops the pressure equivalent electrical signal. The
signals are then routed to the appropriate hybrid for amplification and
filtering. All input signals are clamped for static protection either on the
hybrids or on the circuit board.

Analog to Digital Output signals from the hybrids are coupled to a series of analog multi-
plexers. Outputs from the multiplexers are then applied via a summing
Conversion multiplexer to an analog to digital (A/D) buffer. The high slew rate A/D
(NBP, SPO2, TEMP, IBP) buffer drives the 20-volt input of the analog to digital converter (ADC).
Under microprocessor control, the channels are individually selected and
sampled at a rate determined by the frequency content of the signal.

The ADC is a complete 12-bit successive-approximation device with

tri-state output buffers for direct interface to the microprocessor bus. The
data is read in two steps, first the 8 most significant bits then the 4 least
significant bits.

Microprocessor/Digital The MC68332 is a 32-bit microcontroller which is upward compatible

with the M68000 family. It provides 24 address lines and has a 16-bit
Interface data bus. It controls data acquisition, digital control and serial
communication across the isolation barrier.

The system clock is generated by an on-chip PLL circuit and voltage

controlled oscillator (VCO) which uses a low frequency external crystal
(31.2 kHz) and an internal frequency synthesizer to step up the frequency
to 15.7248 MHz (504 x 31.2 kHz). The frequency was selected for timing
synchronization, to be an exact multiple of 60 Hz (60 Hz x 266,240).

The MC 68332 contains intelligent peripheral modules such as the TPU,

the Queued Serial Module (QSM), the Test Submodule, the System
Protection as well as 2 kilobytes of fast static RAM and twelve
independent programmable chip selects.

The TPU provides 16 microcoded channels for performing time related

activities. It is used to control the timing critical portion of the Pulse
Oximetry function. The rest of the TPU is used for input/output (I/O)
control signals.

The Queued Serial Peripheral Interface (QSPI) synchronous serial link is

used to communicate with the MC68332 on the processor PCB via

2-18 DASH 2000 Patient Monitor Revision A

2000 412-001
 EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW: Theory of Operation

opto-isolators and associated circuitry. The programmable queue allows

the QSPI to perform up to sixteen (bytes) serial transfers without CPU
intervention.

The MC68332 QSPI is designed to be used in a multiprocessor

environment where one processor is the master and the other processors
are slaves. A signal generated from the master processor selects the
QSPI slave mode for the DAS processor which enables communications.

During normal operation, the DAS processor is a slave to the MPC821

host processor on the main processor PCB. Upon power up or reset, the
DAS processor is designed to come up in the Background Debug Mode
(BDM) since no boot code resides on the DAS. Direct communication with
BDM allows the master to execute a number of commands including
loading boot code into the memory if the DAS has never been
programmed. Logic then disconnects the BDM communication link so the
SPI link is connected directly between the host processor and the DAS
processor. The host processor can then download the executable program
into the FLASH memory.

The memory configuration is two 128K x 8 FLASH chips and direct

addressing of two 128K x 8 static RAM chips. The RAM is expandable by
moving zero-ohm jumpers if using higher density RAM chips.

The CMOS FLASH memory uses a high-integration block architecture.

Programming of one block does not affect data stored in another block,
allowing maximum flexibility.

The DAS control ASIC is a multifunction digital interface which provides

logic interface support for the MC68332 processor. The ASIC provides the
following functions:

¥ A latched buffer for analog to digital conversion,

¥ Provides logic to enable processor BDM upon power up or reset;

connects serial communications to the processor debug module,

¥ The communication interface and control to the pulse oximetry

function, and

¥ Identification for the ASIC and circuit board.

Isolated Power Supply The voltage monitor for both isolated sections is an under-voltage
sensing circuit which generates a reset to the processor if the 5-volt
isolated supply voltage drops below 4.6 VDC.

The isolated power supply for both isolated sections is a current mode
control flyback converter providing a main +5-volt regulated output
(digital supply), a ±5 volts, as well as a ±12 volt winding cross regulated
output (analog supplies). To achieve UL 544 patient connected hi-pot
and leakage requirements, a specially designed potted coupled inductor
and optical isolation are used. The supply uses feedback loss time-out for
overload protection.

Calibration The calibration procedure for the this assembly is found in Chapter 5,
ÒCalibrationÓ.

Revision A DASH 2000 Patient Monitor 2-21

2000 412-001
 EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW: Theory of Operation

PCB Functions The main processor PCB is essentially a self-contained, single-board

computer. It includes a Motorola MPC821 microcontroller functioning as
the host processor. The MPC821 has an integrated graphics system
controller handling the video interface. The system application code is
stored in electrically erasable FLASH memory for easy software updates.
Data memory is implemented with static RAM (SRAM), all of which is
backed with a gold capacitor.

Because of the large number of memory and peripheral devices which are
interfaced to the MPC821, a multiple bus structure is employed. This
approach limits the number of devices sharing a given bus and results in
increased reliability and lower system noise. It allows most devices to
operate at (or near) full speed because the capacitance each device I/O
sees is typically no more than 100 pF.

To keep the overall size of the board to a minimum, the design utilizes a
high-density Field Programmable Gate Array device (FPGAs). One of the
outstanding features of this board is the almost total lack of Small Scale
Integration (SSI) logic devices (gates, counters, etc.). Functions which
required SSI devices in the past are now implemented in the FPGAs.
These devices, which we referr to as ASICs (Application Specific
Integrated Circuits) in this theory of operation, handle such functions as
main system control, bus interface, NBP interface and the writer, and
keypad interface. The ASIC is implemented using Altera Flex 6000
devices which must be loaded with a logic program each time the system
powers up.

MPC821 High Integration The Motorola MPC821 microcontroller was chosen as the main (host)
processor for the monitor. This chip allows it to run existing Tram and
Microcontroller Solar software, along with numerous on-chip peripherals such as a
Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (SCC/SMC) and Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI). It also incorporates a very sophisticated Time
Processing Unit (TPU) which is only utilized to a very small extent on
the processor PCB. A special feature is the integrated graphic system
controller which handles the complete video interface. An additional
support feature of the MPC821 is the Background Debug Mode (BDM)
which allows testing of the board (a special connector is incorporated on
the edge of the board to access this mode).

The monitor actually utilizes a 821 on the main board and a 68332 on the
acquisition PCB (DAS). The two processors communicate over the
isolation barrier using the on-chip SPI. This interface operates at up to
4 megabits per second, transfers packets of up to 256 bits without CPU
intervention, and requires very little external interface hardware. The
Main (host) Processor functions as the SPI master in this design.

Basic Initialization Because of the numerous on-chip peripheral registers, the 821 requires
many configuration steps before it becomes fully operational in the
Requirements system. In addition, certain basic steps are required by the hardware
design and must be performed immediately upon power-up.

 EQUIPMENT OVERVIEW: Theory of Operation

Main Memory The main memory consists of 4 megabytes of electrically erasable

FLASH memory and 512 Kbyte backed static RAM. All main memory
ConÞguration runs at full speed with one wait-states being inserted. The FLASH
memory is sector erasable so no separate boot memories are provided
(i.e., the main code sectors may be erased without erasing the boot
sectors).

Program Memory The electrically erasable FLASH memory allows the monitor to receive
software updates either from a AutoPort or from the network. The
(FLASH) FLASH devices used on this board are state-of-the-art components which
store 16 megabit per device. Considerable board area is saved by using
these devices since only two are required. Physically, the devices reside
directly on the local bus of the 821.

Data Memory (SRAM) Data memory consists of 512 Kbyte of static RAM (SRAM) operating
with three wait states. All SRAM is backed up using a gold capacitor.
Check of the buffered voltage is performed upon power-up.

LEDs The LED 1 to 3 are used as operating status indicator. LED 4 is only
used as reference element.

 Maintenance: General Cleaning

General Cleaning

A Word About The Dash monitors have a special filter for the display. Specifically, it's a
circular-polarized filter with an anti-reflective coating. This type of filter
Displays increases the display's contrast while it reduces glare from nearby lights.

If you look closely at the display while it's turned off, you might notice
milky-white streaks. The streaks don't mean that you need to clean the
display. They're caused by the circular polarization effect of the filter, and
they're perfectly normal with this type of filter.

Clean the Display To clean the display of the monitor, use a soft, clean, lint-free cloth
dampened with a glass cleaner.

WARNING
Do not spray glass cleaner or general cleaning solutions
directly onto the display. Do not use hospital disinfec-
tants, like Cidex or Betadine on the display.

Clean External Clean the external surfaces of the monitor before each time a patient is
admitted to the system. The exterior surfaces may be cleaned with a lint-
Surfaces free cloth dampened with one of these approved solutions:

¥ ammonia (diluted),
¥ Cidex,
¥ mild soap (dissolved), or
¥ sodium hypochlorite bleach (diluted).

Recommendations The manufacturer recommends the following guidelines to avoid

damaging the monitor:

¥ Dilute all cleaning solutions according to respective manufacturer

recommendations.
¥ Use a clean, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe off excess cleaning solution
after each application.
¥ Do not pour water or cleaning solutions directly onto the monitor. Do
not allow fluids to run into crevices, connectors or cooling vents on
the monitor.
¥ Never use these cleaning agents:
¥ abrasive cleaners or solvents of any kind,
¥ alcohol-based cleaning agents,
¥ wax containing a cleaning substance,
¥ acetone, or
¥ betadine.

CAUTION
Follow these cleaning instructions exactly. Failure to
follow the instructions may melt, distort, or dull the
finish of the case, blur lettering on the labels, or cause
equipment failures.

Electrical Safety Tests

General Electrical safety tests provide a method of determining if potential

electrical health hazards to the patient or operator of the device exist.

Recommendations To help you establish a systematic maintenance routine, Marquette

recommends that you perform all safety tests presented in this
chapter

¥ upon receipt of the device,

¥ every twelve months thereafter,

¥ each time the main enclosure is disassembled or a circuit board is

removed, tested, repaired, or replaced, and
¥ record the date and results on the ÒMaintenance/Repair LogÓ
included at the end of this chapter.

CAUTION
Failure to implement a satisfactory maintenance
schedule may cause undue equipment failure and
possible health hazards. Unless you have an Equipment
Maintenance Contract, Marquette Medical Systems does
not in any manner assume the responsibility for
performing the recommended maintenance procedures.
The sole responsibility rests with the individual or
institution using the equipment. Marquette service
personnel may, at their discretion, follow the procedures
provided in this manual as a guide during visits to the
equipment site.

Test Conditions Electrical safety tests may be performed under normal ambient
conditions of temperature, humidity, and pressure.

Test Equipment The manufacturer recommended test equipment required to perform

electrical safety tests is listed below. Equivalent equipment may be
substituted as necessary.

 Maintenance: Electrical Safety Tests

Wall Receptacle Test Before starting the tests, the wall receptacle from which the monitoring
device will get electrical power must be checked. This test checks the
condition of the wall receptacle to ensure correct results from leakage
tests.

For international wall receptacles, refer to the internal standards

agencies of that particular country. Use a digital multimeter to ensure
the wall receptacle is wired properly.

If other than normal polarity and ground is indicated, corrective action

must be taken before proceeding. The results of the following tests will be
meaningless unless a properly wired wall receptacle is used.

Ground (Earth) Listed below are two methods for checking the ground (earth) integrity,
ÒGround Continuity TestÓ and ÒImpedance of Protective Earth
Integrity Connection.Ó These tests determine whether the device's exposed metal
and power inlet's earth (ground) connection has a power ground fault
condition.

Perform the test method below that is required by your Country/Local

Ground
Pin
governing safety organization.

Ground Continuity Test Completion of this test is checked by the following steps:
1. Disconnect the DUT (device under test) from the wall receptacle.
2. Connect the negative(-) lead of the ohm meter to the protective earth
terminal (ground pin in power in-let connector) or the protective
earth pin in the MAINS PLUG (ground pin in power cord). Refer to
the US 120Vac power cord figure on the left.
3. Set the Ohm meter to the milliohm (mΩ) range.
4. Connect the positive (+) lead of the Ohm meter to all exposed metal
surfaces on the DUT. If the metal surfaces are anodized or painted
scrape off a small area in a inconspicuous area for the probe to make
contact with the metal.
5. Resistance should read to pass:

¥ 0.1 ohm or less without power cord

¥ 0.2 ohms or less with power cord

Impedance of Protective This test unlike a ground continuity test will also stress the ground
system by using special ground bond testers i.e. Kikusui (model 872 or
Earth Connection TOS 6100) or Associated Research model HYAMP¨ Jr. Model 3030D.

This test normally is only required as a manufacturing production test to

receive safety agency compliance (i.e. IEC601-1).

Some country agency's do require this test after field equipment repairs
(i.e. Germany's DIN VDE 0751 standards).

Revision A DASH 2000 Patient Monitor 3-19

2000 412-001
 Maintenance: Electrical Safety Tests

Consult your country/local safety agency if in question.

Compliance is checked by the following steps:

1. A current not less than 10A and not exceeding 25 A from a current
source with a frequency of 50 or 60 Hz with a no-load voltage not
exceeding 6 V is passed for at least 5 s through the PROTECTIVE
EARTH TERMINAL or the protective earth pin in the MAINS PLUG
and each ACCESSIBLE METAL PART which could become LIVE in
case of failure in BASIC INSULATION.
2. The voltage drop between the parts described is measured and the
impedance determined from the current and voltage drop. It shall
not exceed the values indicated.

For EQUIPMENT without a POWER SUPPLY CORD the impedance

between the PROTECTIVE EARTH TERMINAL and any ACCESSIBLE
METAL PART which is PROTECTIVELY EARTHED shall not exceed 0.1
ohms

For EQUIPMENT with a POWER SUPPLY CORD the impedance

between the protective earth pin in the MAINS PLUG and any
ACCESSIBLE METAL PART which is PROTECTIVELY EARTHED
shall not exceed 0.2 ohms.

When taking this measurement move the customer's power cord around,
no fluctuations in resistance should be observed.

 TROUBLESHOOTING: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

CMOS Components The monitor makes extensive use of CMOS components because they are
more immune to noise and consume less power than standard TTL or
NMOS components. However, CMOS components are inherently more
susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage than other types of
semiconductor materials. ESD damage, causing a weakening or complete
breakdown of p-n junctions within multilayer semiconductor substrates,
can range from slight degradation to catastrophic failure. Slight
degradation usually results in intermittent failure of the affected
component catastrophic failure results in rendering the affected
component permanently unusable. Although CMOS components may be
more sensitive to ESD, all semiconductor devices are susceptible to ESD
damage.

All external connector inputs and outputs of the monitor are designed
with protection from ESD damage. However, if the monitor requires
service, exposed components and assemblies contained within are
susceptible to ESD damage. This includes human hands, non-ESD
protected work stations and/or improperly grounded test equipment.

The following guidelines help make a service workstation more resistant

to the ESD damage:

¥ Discharge any static charge you may have built up before handling
semiconductors or assemblies containing semiconductors.

¥ A grounded, antistatic wristband (3M part number 2046 or

equivalent) or heel strap should be worn at all times while handling
or repairing assemblies containing semiconductors.
¥ Use properly grounded soldering and test equipment.

¥ Use a static-free work surface (3M part number 8210 or equivalent)

while handling or working on assemblies containing semiconductors.

¥ Do not remove semiconductors or assemblies containing

semiconductors from antistatic containers (Velo-stat bags) until
absolutely necessary.

¥ Make sure power to an assembly is turned off before removing or

inserting a semiconductor.

¥ Do not slide semiconductors or electrical/electronic assemblies

across any surface.

¥ Do not touch semiconductor leads unless absolutely necessary.

¥ Semiconductors and electrical/electronic assemblies should be stored

only in antistatic bags or boxes.

These guidelines may not guaranty a 100% static-free workstation, but

can greatly reduce the potential for failure of any electrical/electronic
assemblies being serviced.

 TROUBLESHOOTING: Special Components

Special Components

Surface Mounted Surface mounted devices are used to aid in miniaturizing the electrical/
electronic assemblies within the monitor.
Devices
Surface mounted integrated circuits have legs that are soldered to
rectangular pads on the surface of the printed circuit board (PCB),
versus pin-through devices having legs that are made to be inserted into
solder fillets protruding completely through a PCB. Surface mounted
integrated circuits (ICs, SMD, PLCC) may have legs on either two or four
sides of the IC. Another surface mounted technology are Ball Grid Array
ICs (BGA) using soldering balls as electrical connections on the bottom of
the components.

Surface mounted resistors, capacitors, and diodes have conductive parts

acting as legs that are directly soldered to the PCB.

WARNING
Surface mounted components were not designed to be
removed or replaced using standard soldering
equipment. Removal of surface mounted components
using a conventional soldering iron can potentially
destroy the PCB. Only soldering workstations specifically
designed for surface mount technology may be used to
remove and replace these type of components.

Noninvasive Blood Perform the noninvasive blood pressure (NBP) Checkout Procedure
found in Chapter 3, ÒMaintenanceÓ. This procedure determines whether
Pressure Functions or not the NBP functions of the monitor are working as designed or
whether the monitor requires NBP calibration.

If, after performing the prescribed checkout procedure, it is determined

that there are potential problems that NBP calibration does not cure, try
the following:
1. If calibration is unsuccessful and cannot be properly performed,
there could be leaks in the pneumatic circuit plumbing. The following
steps will assist you in determining this:

¥ The NBP cuff and tubing is the easiest area to inspect for leaks
and is also the most likely area for failure in this regard. Closely
inspect these items for cracks or leaks. Test the NBP cuff and
tubing on a working monitor to determine the source of the
problem.

¥ If the NBP cuff and tubing are determined to be good after

testing them on a working monitor, the leaks are probably
internal to the monitor. Disassemble the monitor and check
inspect all internal tubing and connections in the pneumatic
circuit plumbing.
2. If no leaks are found after performing the previous step, the NBP

About Service Mode Service mode menu option items are used for many purposes in the
monitor. The majority of the functions of these menu option items are for
Menu Option Items initial setup and configuration. Some of the functions are for
troubleshooting as well. Caution should always be exercised when using
any of these password-protected functions.

Service mode menu option items are used by service technicians to:
◆ relay software information to design engineers;
◆ calibrate and troubleshoot NBP functions of the monitor;
◆ set admit menu options, software feature levels and operating
mode of the monitor;
◆ configure the monitor unit name, bed number and Internet
address for use on the network; and
◆ enter or change the time and date on the monitor,
◆ setup the battery management system.

None of these options should be used unless specifically instructed to do so.

WARNING
Some of the service mode menu option items are to be
used only by qualified service technicians and others are
for general use. Because of this, unnecessary tampering
with service mode menu option items for
experimentation purposes is not recommended by the
manufacturer and may cause a malfunction of the
monitor.

Review Errors The REVIEW ERRORS menu option item is mostly used as an advanced
troubleshooting technique by manufacturer engineering personnel. Some
of the information recorded in the monitor error log can be useful for field
service troubleshooting.

About the Monitor Error Details included in this part of the section provides an introduction to
error log usage and meaning. Because the information contained in the
Log error log is engineering-oriented, the intent of the manual is to simply
provide a general understanding of this monitor function.

Downloading the Error A method for downloading error log data over the network to a central
station is included in this part of the section. Once downloaded to a
Log central station, the error log data can be loaded onto floppy diskettes, or
reviewed on the central station.

Accessing the Review To access the error log and learn more about the REVIEW ERRORS
menu option item, follow these steps:
Errors Menu Option Item
1. Rotate and press the Trim Knob control to scroll to and select
REVIEW ERRORS from the service mode menu option items.
2. The review errors menu option items include four possible selections;
one each for viewing output or input errors along with one each for
clearing output or input errors. Rotate and press the Trim Knob
control to scroll to and select VIEW OUTPUT ERRORS from the
review errors menu option items.
3. The RUN TIME ERROR LOG pop-up window appears on the left
side of the monitor display. One time-dated output software error
appears in the pop-up window at a time.

The Trim Knob control can be used to scroll through each logged
error, perusing all of the parameters associated with each output
software error. Rotate the Trim Knob control to move the cursor ( > )
to a position for viewing the NEXT or PREVIOUS error as well as the
position that allows the user to QUIT viewing output errors.

Selecting QUIT closes the run time error log pop-up window and
returns to the review errors menu option items.
4. The VIEW INPUT ERRORS menu option item, when selected using
the Trim Knob, causes a RUN TIME ERROR LOG pop-up window to
appear on the monitor display. The pop-up window now displays
input software errors and provides basically the same information as
the VIEW OUTPUT ERRORS pop-up window provided. The
appearance of both pop-up windows are similar, the difference being
errors that are logged as input versus output to/from the monitor.
5. To clear out the stored run time error logs, use the Trim Knob to
scroll to and select the CLEAR OUTPUT ERRORS or CLEAR INPUT
ERRORS menu option item, respectively.

Immediately following the assertion of the Trim Knob to clear one of

the error logs, a message appears directly above the menu option
items, on the right side of the display. The message verifies the
actuation of the Trim Knob for this function.

Error Log This part of the section describes in greater detail what information the
error log contains and what can be learned from error logs.
Information
An error log in the monitor is constructed as a circular file (not referring
to a wastepaper basket). This circular file can hold up to 50 events. As an
event occurs, error information is stored in the log. Subsequent events
are stored sequentially as they occur. When the 50-event limit is reached,
the next error (the 51st error) is written over the first event that was
logged, erasing that event and replacing it with the latest event. The
52nd event is written over the second event, and so on. If errors occur
infrequently the error log could span a period of weeks and months,
maybe even years. For example; if a problem with the network begins,
repeating frequently, the error log might consist only of errors from the
last few hours. In any case the error log contains the 50 most recent
detected and recorded errors.

 TROUBLESHOOTING: Service Mode Menu

A sample of the monitor error log pop-up window appears as follows:

When using the error log to troubleshoot a problem with the monitor, the
following parameters from the pop-up window that are of greatest
interest are:

Process Name: Ñ The task that was operating when the event or
problem occurred,

Error Code: Ñ A software code for the type of event or problem that
occurred,

Severity: Ñ Indicates the level of impact of the event or problem on the

system,

Date: Ñ The date the event or problem occurred,

Time: Ñ The time the event or problem occurred, and

Error number: Ñ A sequential number (0-50) used to identify each

event or problem.

How Network Errors are If certain types of network errors or problems occur, two additional
categories are added to the error log pop-up window.
Logged
Network Error: Ñ Identifies a network error or problem occurred,

Channel Number: Ñ Identifies the network channel exhibiting the

error

Error Logs Something to remember about the error log is that it contains more than
just operating system errors. Many events that occur that might have an
impact upon the system are entered into the log. The 700-series of error
codes include many such events.

Error Code Descriptions Some of the event/error codes you might find useful are described in the
following table:

Error Code Description

Severity of the Error Severity is a measure of how the event/error affected the system. There
are three levels of severity. The following is a list of these levels
accompanied by a brief description of each:

Continue: Ñ The event or error was logged, the task may or may not
have completed, but the system was able to continue operating. Most
error log entries have this severity level.

Fatal: Ñ The event or error was logged, the task did not complete, and
the system was unable to continue operating as recovery was not
possible. This level of severity in an event or error is always followed
by an automatic warm start.

Forced Restart: Ñ The operating system restarted normally after a

known condition, such as an Internet address change, patient
discharge, etc.

 CALIBRATION: Noninvasive Blood Pressure

Noninvasive Blood Pressure

The overall accuracy of noninvasive blood pressure (NBP) readings by

the monitor depend on the following:

¥ the zero pressure reading, and

¥ the voltage span of the NBP sensor in the monitor.

This procedure provides a method of verifying these items are accurate

and also checks the NBP pneumatic circuit plumbing for leaks.

Manufacturer The manufacturer recommends performing the Ònoninvasive blood

pressure testÓ upon initially receiving the monitor, before it is used on a
Recommendation patient, and once each year thereafter. Also, perform that procedure each
time the monitor is opened for service or repair. If this test fails, the
following has to be performed.

Test Equipment The following items are required to successfully complete the NBP
calibration procedure:

¥ Manometer (Sensym PDM200M or mercury manometer),

¥ NBP tube, pn 414873-001,

¥ NBP cuff, pn 9461-301 (any size will work),

¥ Something to wrap the NBP cuff around (PVC pipe or coffee can),

The table below lists items for connecting the NBP tube between the
manometer and NBP cuff:

Description Part Number Qty

NBP cuff coupling 400787-001 1
NBP hose coupling 46100-002 1
NBP tee 4745-101 1

Loading Software

Intended Use This part of the section is for the purpose of loading manufacturer
software into the monitor initially, reloading software when the
possibility of corrupted software exists, or updating software in the event
of a release of a new software revision.

Software Loading/ The process of loading or updating software in the monitor is described in
this part of the section. Manufacturer software can be loaded into the
Updating Methods monitor using these methods:

From Diskette ¥ The monitor is connected directly to a personal computer (PC) or PC

laptop. The Update Program is run off of the update diskettes and
the software is downloaded to the monitor via serial communication.
Over the Network

Over the Network ¥ For the monitor connected to a patient monitoring network, the
software is loaded from the update diskettes onto a Centralscope
central station or a Clinical Information Center (CIC). The central
station or CIC then acts as a network file server and software is
downloaded to the monitor over the network.

NOTE
Each method of downloading software to the monitor is
distinctly different. Completely read all of this part of the
section prior to any attempt to load or update software.
This is particularly important if this is a first attempt to
load or update software in the monitor.

Software Write down or print out software code part numbers from the
SOFTWARE SUMMARY window for each monitor in the system. To
Compatibility print the SOFTWARE SUMMARY table from each monitor, use the Trim
Knob to select the following menu option items from the monitor main
menu display:

MONITOR SETUP,

 CONFIGURATION: Loading Software

To stop test pattern, follow step (1) to (5), then select STOP.

If there is a previous revision of software residing in the monitor

memory, update the monitor as necessary. Keep the monitor at current
levels of manufacturer software to maintain the proper network
communication and to provide the user with all of the latest operational
features that the manufacturer offers.

The boot codes (MAIN BOOT, DAS BOOT, etc.), which reside in various
monitor memory locations, play a minor role with regard to actual
patient monitoring functions. These boot codes are designed to be
updated very infrequently Ð if ever.

NOTE
Boot code components of the monitor software should be
updated only when absolutely necessary.

CAUTION
If a failure occurs in the update process while loading one
of the boot code components, full or partial patient
monitoring capability is lost. The monitor is rendered
useless and requires service by a manufacturer technical
support engineer.

Monitor Software All software files for the monitor are contained on six diskettes included
with a manufacturer software update kit. The functional characteristic of
Files files that can be updated is listed below (in the order by which these
must be downloaded to the monitor) along with the respective
representation from the monitor SOFTWARE SUMMARY table:

¥ Main processor operational code (MAIN),

¥ Acquisition processor operational code (DAS),

¥ Main processor boot code (MAIN BOOT), and

¥ Acquisition processor boot code (DAS BOOT)

To update the internal writer in the Dash 2000, you need to order the
writer update kit. Contact your GE Marquette representative for further
information.

Setup For Use

About Setup This part of the section contains the procedure for initial setup or
configuration of the monitor. The procedure addresses use in both types
of patient monitoring system configurations:

¥ Stand-alone patient monitor: The monitor is not interconnected

to other patient monitoring system devices, and

¥ Networked patient monitor: The monitor is interconnected to

other patient monitoring system devices for the sake of sharing
patient data.

Monitor Setup Both configurations require some initial setup before the monitor can be
used to full potential on patients. The following is a description of each
Parameters area requiring setup or configuration:

UNIT NAME Ñ This a general identification parameter (seven

characters in length) for the monitor to establish communication
links between other devices on the network. The unit name acts as a
means of separating groups of patient monitoring devices on the
network.

BED NUMBER Ñ This is also an identification parameter (five

characters in length) for the monitor to establish communication
links between other devices on the network. The bed number acts as
a means of separating each monitor within groups of patient
monitoring devices on the network.

GRAPH LOCATION Ñ This is a setup parameter for the monitor to

establish communication links between graph devices directly
connected to the monitor or those located on the network. The graph
location must be setup or configured for each of the following types of
graphs:

¥ MANUAL GRAPH LOCATION: Where the manual graph prints,

¥ ALARM GRAPH LOCATION: Where the alarm graph prints,

and

¥ PRINT WINDOW LOCATION: Where windows (displayed by the

operator for various purposes) print.

Although information in this part of the section relates to a specific

version of software, the process generally remains similar from version to
version of software.

 CONFIGURATION: Setup For Use

Unit Name From the service mode menu option items which appear on the monitor
display, follow the next steps of the procedure to setup or configure the
UNIT NAME of the monitor.

About the Monitor Unit The monitor UNIT NAME provides a means of differentiating groups of
devices on the network. Groups of devices with similar care unit names
Name auto-segment themselves from other groups of devices with different care
unit names on the network. The care UNIT NAME is part of a software
address integrated into electronic packets of information transmitted or
received to or from the network. The UNIT NAME is programmable and
therefore allows users to define groups of devices on the network.

WARNING
Do not use the word ÒnoneÓ as a care UNIT NAME. This
name can be very confusing to users and make network
troubleshooting extremely difficult.

CAUTION
It is very difficult to visually detect spaces (ÒspacesÓ are
characters) when programmed into the UNIT NAME.
The manufacturer recommends avoiding the use of
spaces in the UNIT NAME.

Setup the Unit Name of Setup or configure the UNIT NAME of the monitor by following these
steps:

 CONFIGURATION: Setup For Use

Bed Number From the service mode menu option items which appear on the monitor
display, follow the next steps of the procedure to setup or configure the
BED NUMBER of the monitor.

About the Monitor Bed The monitor BED NUMBER is manually programmed into monitor. The
monitor has flash memory which stores the user programmed BED
Number NUMBER. This acts as a software identification code for the following
applications:

¥ For networked monitors, the BED NUMBER provides unique

network identification for each monitor from groups of devices
sharing the same unit name on the network. The monitor BED
NUMBER software is integrated into electronic packets of
information which are either sent to or received from other devices
on the network.

¥ General identification: The BED NUMBER also is used for

annotation purposes on all graphs generated by the monitor.

WARNING
Do not use the word ÒnoneÓ as a BED NUMBER. This
name can be very confusing to users and make network
troubleshooting extremely difficult.

CAUTION
It is very difficult to visually detect spaces (ÒspacesÓ are
characters) when programmed into the BED NUMBER.
The manufacturer recommends avoiding the use of
spaces in the BED NUMBER.

 CONFIGURATION: Setup For Use

Graph Locations One area of monitor setup or configuration that most often is overlooked,
is the setup or configuration of each GRAPH LOCATION for the monitor.
Three types of graphs can be generated by the monitor: manual, alarm
and print windows.

The application of the monitor plays an important role in the selection of

GRAPH LOCATIONS. The following describes each application:

¥ For a networked monitor, each type of graph is setup or configured

individually and can be directed to various writer/printer locations
on the network. Each type of graph can be sent to a networked
printer or the internal (build-in) writer. Each type of graph can be
setup or configured on the monitor to print at one of the following
destinations:
a. Dash 3000 patient monitor with optional internal writer,
b. Dash 2000 patient monitor with optional internal writer,
c. Centralscope Central Station with internal or external writer,
d. Solar 7000/8000 Patient Monitor with external writer,
e. Eagle 4000 Patient Monitor with external writer,
f. Eagle 3100 Patient Monitor with external writer, and/or
g. Network laser printer.

¥ For a stand-alone monitor, each type of graph is setup or configured

individually and can only be directed to an optional internal writer.

Three separate graph locations can be setup or configured in the monitor.

The following describes each GRAPH LOCATION:

MANUAL GRAPH LOCATION Ñ The graph device that prints patient

waveforms and annotation. The monitor generates manual whenever
the GRAPH GO/STOP front panel control on the monitor is pressed.

ALARM GRAPH LOCATION Ñ The graph device that prints patient

waveforms and annotation. The monitor automatically generates
alarm graphs whenever it senses a Crisis Alarm or Warning Alarm.

PRINT WINDOW LOCATION Ñ The monitor displays the graph

device that prints patient information in various types of screens.
The monitor generates print windows whenever an operator displays
and selects a menu option item for each specific function.

 CONFIGURATION: Setup For Use

Time and Date Setup The TIME AND DATE function of the monitor provides a means for the
real time clock circuit to be setup correctly or changed by the user. The
TIME AND DATE setup or configuration of the monitor is used mainly
for the purpose of documentation of patient events and history files
stored in the monitor each time a patient is admitted. Therefore, it is
important that the correct time and date be entered into the monitor.

Leap Years and Daylight The internal real time clock circuit of the monitor automatically
compensates for leap years, but does not automatically compensate for
Savings Times daylight savings time changes. The latter requires manual setup or
configuration of the monitor TIME AND DATE field each spring and fall.

CAUTION
For networked monitors, changing the TIME AND DATE
field on the monitor causes the new time and date to be
broadcast over the network. All other devices on the
network change the time and data to match the newly
entered TIME AND DATE on the monitor. This may
cause other monitors on the network to change time-
dated patient data stored in each monitor.

Procedure Follow these steps to setup or configure the TIME AND DATE of the
monitor:
1. Use the Trim Knob control to scroll to and select the TIME AND
DATE menu option from the SERVICE MODE menu.

WARNING
TIME AND DATE parameters are actively enabled for
change each time the SET TIME or SET DATE menu
