1.1 GeneralThe LIFEGARD™ ICG is a standalone cardiac monitor. It measures and displays Non-Invasive Cardiac Output (CO), Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP), and Non-StandardLead ECG. It incorporates an integral printer/recorder, and provides interface capabilityfor testing and software upgrading.
NOTE
The LIFEGARD ICG monitor is intended for use under the direct supervision of alicensed healthcare practitioner or personnel trained in its proper use within a hos-pital or facility providing healthcare.
The LIFEGARD ICG is intended to non-invasively evaluate the hemodynamic sta-tus of adult patients based on the measurement of thoracic electrical bioimped-ance (TEB).
1.2 LIFEGARD ICG Overview
1.2.1 Performance Features
The LIFEGARD ICG monitor has three measurement modes:
• Non-Invasive Cardiac Output (CO)
• Single (Non-Standard Lead) ECG
• Step Bleed Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)
Two waveforms: Impedance Cardiograph (ICG) and Electro-Cardiograph (ECG) arederived from the CO measurements and presented on the monitor’s color LCD display.The calculated values for Heart Rate (HR), Cardiac Output (CO), Systolic (BP-S),Diastolic (BP-D), Mean (MAP) Blood Pressure and Cuff Pressure are shown along withthe waveforms on the Display.
In addition, the monitor derives a number of numeric parameters from these measure-ments. They include:
Acceleration Index ACI Cardiac Index CI Left Cardiac Work Index LCWI Left Ventricular Ejection Time LVET Pre-ejection Period PEP Stroke Index SI Systolic Time Ratio STR Stroke Volume SV Systemic Vascular Resistance SVR Systemic Vascular Resistance Index SVRI Thoracic Fluid Content TFC Velocity Index VI
The integral printer/recorder may be programmed to “print-on-alarm” or print undermanual control.

2.1 GeneralThis chapter describes safety precautions that may appear within the manual and thosethat appear as labels on the instrument surfaces. This chapter also includes a group ofprecautions that are applicable, in general, while using the monitor.
This chapter also includes a description of the monitor’s visual and audible responseswhen the monitor detects alarm conditions.
2.2 Warnings, Cautions, and NotesThe precautions are grouped into two (2) main categories, WARNINGS and CAUTIONS.
In addition, the manual highlights Notes of significant information relevant to the monitordisplay, operator instruction, or operator action being described in the text.
Warnings advise against certain actions or situations that could result in personal injury ordeath.
Cautions advise against actions or situations that could damage equipment, produce inaccu-rate data, or invalidate a procedure.
Notes provide useful information regarding a function or procedure.
2.3 WarningsThe following are warnings that define precautions that must be observed to avoid injury topersonnel. Some of these precautions are specific to particular operator actions. They willappear in the text. Others may be of a “general-purpose” nature, and may not be duplicatedin the many places in which they may be relevant.
WARNING
Conductive parts of electrodes and associated connectors for applied parts, andneutral electrode should not contact other conductive parts and earth.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard. Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a flammableanesthetic mixture with air, or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.

The injected current may cause this type of pacemaker to malfunction and set thepacemaker rate too high.
WARNING
Interference from instruments near the patient and Electro-Surgical Unit interfer-ence can cause problems with the ICG wave.
WARNING
Electromagnetic interference may cause disruption of performance. Protect themonitor from sources of intense electromagnetic radiation. This device has beendesigned to provide resistance to electromagnetic interference.However, because of the proliferation of radio-frequency transmitting equipmentand other sources of electrical noise in the health-care and home environments(such as cellular phones, mobile two-way radios, electrical appliances), it is possi-ble that high levels of such interference due to close proximity or strength of asource may result in disruption of performance of this device. Disruption may be evidenced by erratic readings, cessation of operation, or otherincorrect functioning. If this occurs, the site of use should be surveyed to deter-mine the source of this disruption, and actions taken to eliminate the source. Ifassistance is required, contact Analogic Service (See Appendix E).

2.6 AlarmsThe monitor recognizes and responds to two categories of alarms.
• Patient Parameter Alarm — Parameter alarm is activated when monitored physiologi-cal measurements of heart rate (HR), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) and cardiacoutput (CO) or cardiac index (CI) are beyond the Operator-settable high and low alarmlimits.
NOTE
Asystole (detected loss of ECG heart rate signals) is treated as a special alarmcondition within the Patient Alarm category. See paragraph 2.6.2.

• Technical Alarms — Technical alarms are activated when the monitor detects a proba-ble malfunction of the instrumentation or of a connected accessory.
2.6.1 Patient Parameter Alarm Limits
Alarm limits for the monitored parameters are listed in Table 2-2.
Table 2-2. Alarm Limits
Alarms will always be “non-latching” such that alarms will cease once they return with-in limits. Once active, the alarm state is indicated by characteristics that are listedbelow:
• Visual color alarm indicators
• Audible alarm indicators
• Print-on-alarm, when enabled
• Identification of out-of-limit vital signs in tabular trend data
NOTE
A limits alarm will not occur until the limit is exceeded. For example, if the low limitfor CO is 3.0 l/min, the monitor will not alarm if the measured CO is 3.0 l/min. thealarm occurs only if CO measures 2.9 l/min, or lower.
2.6.2 Alarm Priority
Detected alarm conditions are assigned a priority that determines their position in thereporting sequence. The priority assignments are shown in Table 2-3.

Table 2-3. Alarm Priorities
The monitor generates distinctive visual (paragraph 2.6.4) and audio (paragraph 2.6.5)information for each alarm condition.
Parameter limit alarms for CO (CI if selected), HR, SYS, DIA and MAP can be turnedoff from the parameter’s respective sub-menu. When these alarms are turned off visualand audible alarms are disabled for that parameter. No alarm indicators are stored in thetrend data, and no print-on-alarm report will be generated when a parameter’s alarmshave been disabled.
Monitor-detected conditions that cause alarms are described in subparagraphs that fol-low. Words in quotes indicate the text messages that will appear in the Status FrameMessage Area during that particular alarm condition.

2.6.3 Loss of Monitoring Alarm
LIFEGARD ICG implements a special class of alarm that is invoked if the LIFEGARDICG cannot continue to monitor.
• When a loss of monitoring alarm occurs, the LIFEGARD ICG emits a continuous toneuntil any button is pressed. The alarm tone characteristics are described in AppendixA. No print-on-alarm will occur in response to a loss of monitoring alarm.
NOTE
When an internal battery that is discharged to the point where the LIFEGARD ICGshuts down because of low battery charge, the monitor is designed to haveenough remaining stored energy to sound the alarm.
2.6.4 Visual Alarm Indicators
Visual alarm indicators (in compliance with ISO-9703-1) appear on the display when analarm is active. Table 2-4 lists the visual indicators instrumented in the monitor. Theaudio characteristics are described in Appendix A.
Table 2-4. LIFEGARD ICG Visual Alarms
When a Low priority alarm occurs, a non-flashing alarm message appears in the statusframe. If more than one low priority alarm is present, the alarm messages “rotate”through the status frame message area.
When a Medium priority alarm activates because a parameter is outside its alarm lim-its, the background of the parameter frame flashes at the medium priority rate.
When the High priority asystole alarm occurs, the heart rate parameter frame flashes atthe high priority rate. A non-flashing “asystole” message appears in the status frameand overrides any other messages that may be present (i.e., there is no message “rota-tion” in this instance).
2.6.5 Audible Alarms
When an alarm activates, an audible alarm is sounded (unless silenced, as is described ina later paragraph). A High priority audible alarm will supersede either medium or lowlevel audible alarms. A Medium priority audible alarm will supersede low-level audiblealarms. A Low priority audible alarm will not supersede any other audible alarms.Audible alarm characteristics are described in Appendix A, Table A-1.
Heart Rate Tone
In the presence of a valid primary heart rate source, the LIFEGARD ICG can produce ashort (duration of approximately 100 msec.) audible beep with each detected pulse. Thevolume range for the beeps is 45 dB(A) to at least 85 dB(A) at one meter, or they may bedisabled entirely (volume OFF). The Volume button on the front panel controls volume.
• The audible beep is synchronized to the peak of the R-wave of the QRS complex whenthe pulse rate beep source is the heart rate signal from the ECG module.
• The pitch frequency of ECG-derived pulse beeps is fixed at 800 Hz.
Safety
912-82542 2-7
Alarm category Color Flashing frequency Duty Cycle
High priority Red 1.4 Hz to 2.8 Hz 20% to 60% on
Medium priority Yellow 0.4 Hz to 0.8 Hz 20% to 60% on
Low priority Yellow Constant (on) 100%
2.6.6 Temporarily Silencing Audible Alarms
When the front-panel-keyboard Alarm Silence button is pressed momentarily,all the audible active alarms are temporarily silenced for a preset period of time not toexceed 2 minutes. If any alarm condition is present when the silence period expires, theaudible alarm will sound at that time. Each alarm condition has an independent silenceperiod timer.
• If more than one alarm condition is present at the time the Alarm Silence button ispressed, a single press will temporarily silence all the active alarms. If a new alarmcondition occurs during the silence period, the new alarm shall cause the audible alarmto sound at that instant;. If the Alarm Silence button is pressed again, a silence periodis initiated for the new alarm. (Note: should a loss of monitoring alarm occur duringthe midst of a silence period, the loss of monitoring alarm will sound anyway.)
• If during an alarm silence period an alarm condition is relieved (e.g., because a vitalsign goes back within its limits or the user changes the alarm limits), the silence periodfor that alarm is canceled. If the alarm condition reoccurs an audible alarm shall sound.
• If the alarm silence button is pressed while alarms are silenced and no audible alarmsare active, the alarm silence period for all alarms shall be terminated, and all audiblealarms are “rearmed”.
• If the alarm silence button is pressed momentarily during a time that no alarms areactive, no silence period shall be initiated.
During the time that a temporary silence period is underway, a “reverse-videoed”slashed bell icon will appear in the CO (CI if selected), HR, and NIBP frames providedalarms have not been turned off for these parameters.
2.6.7 Exceptions to Temporary Silencing
• An exception to the above stated rules occurs when a low priority alarm (e.g., ECGlead off) occurs: Pressing the Alarm Silence button will permanently silence the audi-ble alarm and remove the corresponding warning message from the display until thenext occurrence of the alarm condition.
• When the alarm silence button is pressed and one or more low priority alarms are active,but no medium or high priority alarms are active, the silence period is not invoked; theaudible alarm is “rearmed” immediately. If more than one low-priority alarm was pre-sent, a single press of the alarm silence button clears all the low priority alarms.
• If both low and medium and/or high alarms are active when the alarm silence button ispressed, the low priority alarms will be cleared and the medium/high priority audiblealarms will be silenced for the preset silence period.
• An exception occurs when a loss of monitoring alarm occurs. A press of any buttonwill permanently silence the loss of monitoring audible alarm.
• Another exception occurs when the Alarm Silence button is pressed in response to anNIBP value out-of-limits alarm. Because NIBP is not a continuous measurement, oncethe NIBP alarm condition has been acknowledged by pressing the Alarm Silence but-ton, the NIBP alarm condition is cleared and the regular alarm silence period will begin.
Specifically, upon press of the Alarm Silence button the audible alarm tone ceases, areverse-videoed bell icon is displayed in the CO parameter frame. Upon termination ofthe silence period the tone will not re-sound (assuming no other alarms are active).
LIFEGARD ICG Operator’s Manual
2-8 912-82542
2.6.8 Alarm Suspend
If the Alarm Silence button is depressed and held for 2 seconds, the Alarm Suspendcondition is initiated. (Note that this action may be taken during a temporary silenceperiod. Also, Alarm Suspend may be invoked even if no alarms are active.)
When in the Alarm Suspend condition, all audible alarms and the print-on-alarm func-tion are disabled. Visual alarms and identification of out-of-limits vital signs in trendmemory continue to function.
The multi purpose frame is replaced with a prominent warning message as shown inFigure 2-1. Monitoring and trend storage continues for all parameters. The AlarmSuspend condition is terminated by a momentary press of the Alarm Silence button.
In the Alarm Suspend condition, the front-panel Power ON/STANDBY, NIBP andALARM SUSPEND buttons continue to operate normally. The other buttons are inac-tive No menus may be invoked while in the Alarm Suspend state.
Figure 2-1 Alarm Suspend Screen
2.6.9 Battery Alarm Exceptions
The battery fuel gauge icon is green when charged, changes to yellowwhen the charge is low and turns red and alarms when less than 15 minutes of operationremain. This alarm causes the “low battery” message to appear in the message area, thebattery fuel gauge icon turns red, shows “empty” and flashes at the medium priorityrate, and the low priority audible alarm sounds. A press of the front-panel alarm silencebutton will cause the low battery message and the audible tone to clear and not recur,but the “empty” battery icon will continue to flash until the low battery condition isremedied or the LIFEGARD ICG is powered down.
2.6.10 Print-on-Alarm
If the Print-on-Alarm function is enabled, an 8-second print-out is output to the recordereach time a High or Medium priority out-of-limits alarm condition occurs when thewaveforms are set at 25 mm/sec and a 16- second “snap-shot” print-out is output to therecorder each time a High or Medium priority out-of-limits alarm condition occurswhen the waveforms are set at 12.5 mm/sec The snap-shot print-out is described indetail in Chapter 9 Recording / Printing. The print-on-alarm waveforms print from amemory buffer so that the printed waveform starts 4 or 8 seconds before the start of thealarm.

4.3.3 Main Screen
The Main Screen occupies the area identified as the multipurpose frame in Figure 4.5.This screen is used to display the ECG and ICG waveforms and the ICG Signal Quality(SQF) waveform (Figure 4-7).
Figure 4-7. Main Screen Display
The ECG waveform is displayed in green. The ICG waveform is displayed in magenta.Cumulative ICG waveforms are overlapped to display SQF (Figure 4-8). The mostrecent ICG SQF waveform is displayed in magenta. Older ICG SQF waveforms are dis-played in gray. The number of SQF waveforms displayed depends on the number ofvalid ICG periods detected in 30 seconds. A maximum of 30 ICG waveforms may bedisplayed.
Figure 4-8. Signal Quality Frame (SQF) in Main Screen Display
Three markers are placed at critical measurement points on the SQF waveform. Thesepoints correlate with the opening of the aortic valve (B), maximum of the systolic flow(C), and the closing of the aortic valve (X). The algorithm uses these three points togeth-er with the weight and sex of the patient to calculate stroke volume (SV), cardiac outputCO, and all derived indices. The average thoracic fluid content (TFC) is displayedbelow the SQF waveform, as well as the percentage of good beats in the last 30 seconds.

4.4 Powering the LIFEGARD ICG Monitor
4.4.1 Battery Operation
An internal rechargeable lead-acid type battery is supplied with all monitors..Replacement of the battery is intended for a qualified service person; a special tool isrequired for battery replacement.
The monitor will operate for a minimum of 2 hours from a fully charged battery over thespecified operating temperature range of the product. The battery is capable of support-ing a minimum of 200 charge/discharge cycles.
The monitor delivers an audible and visual warning at least 15 minutes prior to automat-ic shutdown because of a detected low battery status. This warning terminates when theunit is connected to its battery eliminator and its external ac supply or when the unit isturned to STANDBY.
4.4.2 External Battery Eliminator
The LIFEGARD ICG operates normally when powered from an external battery elimi-nator that has been connected to its 15 Vac power input connector. This power supplyproduces 15 Vac within the required operating range of the monitor when connected tothe specified ac line voltages indicated below. The output of the power supply powersthe monitor and charges the internal battery.
The external power supply is available in two configurations.
• A North American version for 100 to 120 V~ at 47 to 63Hz, and
• A European version for 220 to 240 V~ at 47 to 63 Hz.
An appropriate line cord is shipped with each unit.
The ac power supply is capable of recharging the battery within 8 hours when the moni-tor is off, and within 14 hours maximum when the monitor is in normal operation.
4.5 DefaultsWhen the LIFEGARD ICG monitor is turned ON (the ON/STANDBY button ispressed), the parameter values and monitoring modes are initiated with a set of defaultvalues and monitoring conditions. If the monitor is powered for the first time, thedefaults are factory-set.
The operator may change modifiable defaults as appropriate for the monitoring session.Unless further modified by a qualified service person before the power is returned toSTANDBY, the defaults, except for patient data entered during the monitoring session,will be reset when power is turned to STANDBY. Patient data at the end of a monitor-ing session remains as the default for the next power cycle,
Figure 4-10 illustrates the determination of the default values through ON/STANDBYpower cycles.

5.2.5 Completing the Patient Data Entry Process
It is necessary to insert relevant values into the six (6) patient physiological characteris-tics before the Operator can leave the Patient Data Menu. The Operator has two (2)choices: Either
• Reuse Last Patient data, (Selecting the data from the last patient (Rotating and Pressingthe knob) fills the six boxes. The Patient ID is not changed.)
Or
Insert entries into each of the six boxes.
To start the monitoring process:
1. Rotate the knob to highlight Return.
2. Press the knob. The screen now displays the main configuration with no measurementinformation inserted (Figure 5-3).
5.3 Patient Data Entry During Monitoring SessionAs indicated earlier, the LIFEGARD ICG Operator may access the Patient Data menusat any time during the monitor’s use. This is initiated through the STATUS frame menuoptions.
Caution
Whenever the Patient Data Menu is invoked, a new patient record is established inthe monitor.
Caution
The monitor stores a maximum of 100 records or 12 hours of trending data.
When either limit (100 records or 12 hours) is reached, additional records over-write the first ones.

6.1 GeneralThis chapter provides Operator instructions for LIFEGARD ICG monitoring Non-Invasive Blood Pressure. It includes preparation of the patient, selecting the mode ofNIBP measurement, configuring the displays, setting alarm limits, and obtaining select-ed recording of monitored data.
LIFEGARD ICG NIBP monitoring uses a stepped oscillometric measuring technique.A motorized pump inflates the cuff until the flow of blood is practically occluded. Thepressure is then bled in steps, and blood begins to flow. A pressure transducer measuresthe changing air pressure. The pressure at which the oscillation increases sharply isdefined as the systolic pressure. The pressure at which the oscillations peak is definedas the mean arterial pressure, and the point at which a loss of oscillations is detected isdefined as the diastolic pressure.
6.1.1 Required Accessories
NIBP Cuff — There are three cuffs available for different sized patients. (See Table 6-2below)
NIBP Hose
6.1.2 Applying Cuff to Patient
Caution
Use only Analogic approved pressure tubing and cuffs. Using other cuffs or tubingmay result in inaccuracies.
WARNING
Do not use the Analogic LIFEGARD ICG to monitor patients who are linked toheart/lung machines.
WARNING
The Analogic LIFEGARD ICG may not operate effectively on patients who areexperiencing convulsions or tremors.
Caution
Inaccurate measurements may be caused by
• Incorrect cuff application or use, such as placing cuff too loosely on patient, usingthe incorrect cuff size, or not placing cuff at the same level as the heart.
• Leaky cuff or tubing
• Excessive patient motion.
WARNING
Continuous cuff measurements (Prolonged impairment of circulation) can causeinjury to patient being monitored. Consider the use of the STAT Mode of NIBPmonitoring.

CautionEnsure that there are no kinks in the air hose, or that the flow of air is not impededby the placement of any object that might constrict the air hose.
CautionThe LIFEGARD ICG monitor automatically retries if the initial cuff pressure is lessthan the patient Systolic pressure. The subsequent initial pressure is increased by 30 mmhg. There is a time-out period at which time the monitor stops trying toget readings. If the patient’s systolic pressure is known to be extremely high it isrecommended that the initial cuff pressure be raised to 240 mmHg.
NOTEThe cuff may remain in place when using defibrillator equipment.
NOTEThe NIBP cuff and hose will not be affected by wetting.
Measure the patient’s limb and select the proper size cuff (Table 6-1). The cuff widthshould span approximately two-thirds of the distance between the patient’s elbow andshoulder. Follow Directions for Use for applying cuff to arm or thigh.
Table 6-1. Cuff Sizes
WARNING
Those products in Table 6-1 that contain natural rubber latex may cause allergicreactions.
Setup Connections
Instructions for Cuff Use
1. Remove the cuff from its package. Inspect for damage before each use. Do not use acuff whose structural integrity is suspect.
2. Connect one end of an AN4K-AC015 or AN4K-AC019 hose to the monitor connec-tor as described.
3. To connect the hose to the cuff, grasp both connectors, align, and push together. Theconnectors will snap into place. A
A
AN4K-AC015/AN4K-AC019
Order Code Description Arm Circumference (range)
AN4K-AC013 Small Adult–Latex 180 mm to 260 mm
AN4K-AC012 Adult–Latex 250 mm to 350 mm
AN4K-AC011 Adult Plus–Latex 330 mm to 470 mm
AN4K-AC018 Small Adult–Non-Latex 180 mm to 260 mm
AN4K-AC017 Adult–Non-Latex 250 mm to 350 mm
AN4K-AC016 Adult Plus–Non-Latex 330 mm to 470 mm
4. Squeeze all the air out of the cuff and wrap it around the patient’s upper arm. Foradult and pediatric patients, the arm is the preferred location. When the arm cannot beused, the ankle is preferred over the thigh because measurement on the adult thightends to be uncomfortable.
5. Position the cuff so that the symbol is directly over the patient’s artery. Thetension of the wrapped cuff should be such that only two fingers can be insertedbetween the limb and the cuff. If the cuff is wrapped too loosely, errors may occurduring measurement.
Note: Analogic supplied blood pressure cuffs have a double-headed arrow between twolines to indicate proper size range. The edge of the cuff has a white index line (a).If the index line does not fall between the two range lines when the cuff is wrappedaround the patient’s limb, select a larger or smaller cuff size.
Removal/Cleaning
To remove the cuff from the hose, grasp the hose connector and pull back the outermetal ring at the end of the connector.
The cuffs are intended for reuse and may be cleaned by wirping with a cleaning agentsuch as 70% isopropyl alcohol.
Caution
Federal law (U.S.) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
6.2 Measuring Blood Pressure
6.2.1 Three Modes
Blood Pressure can be measured in three modes:
• Single: In which one measurement of each of the three blood pressures (Systolic/MeanArterial Pressure/Diastolic) is made and displayed in the NIBP Frame.
• Automatic: In which measurements are made in preset intervals.
• STAT: In which as many measurements as possible are made within a 5-minute period.
6.2.2 NIBP Measurement Setup
The LIFEGARD ICG provides the capability for the Operator to modify the factory-setinitial 160-mmHg value of pump pressure that is intended to occlude blood flow in anadult patient. Operator adjustment of this value is accomplished with the NavigationKnob within the NIBP Menu.
To access the NIBP menu
1. Rotate the navigation knob to select (magenta border around the parameter box) theNIBP Frame.
2. Press the knob. The NIBP Menu is displayed in the Graphical Frame (Figure 6-1).

• Turning the alarms off. If an alarm condition is detected when the alarms are off,removes both audio and visual alarms.
• Setting alarm limits. The ranges of upper alarm limit and lower alarm limit are shownin the short table that follows.
Table 7-2. Ranges of Cardiac Output Alarm Limits
The monitor prevents the setting of an upper alarm limit that is lower than the value setfor the lower alarm limit. It also prevents setting a lower alarm limit that is greater thanthe value set for the upper alarm limit.
NOTE
The range of values over which the Alarm Limits can be set does not necessarilyspan the monitor’s measurement range. In those cases the Limit range covers“normal ranges.” See Appendix A.
7.4 ECG Monitoring Mode
7.4.1 General
In a typical monitoring scenario, the ICG-monitored cardiac output may be correlatedwith the patient ECG by observing the ECG waveform that is superimposed on the ICGwaveform in the Multi-use Frame, as shown previously in Figure 7-8.
The ECG Measuring Technique
Depolarization and repolarization of the myocardium generates electric potentials thatECG electrodes on the patient’s skin surface can sense. The monitor processes andamplifies these signals and presents the ECG waveform on the screen.
In addition to acquiring the QRS complex, the monitor also:
• Computes and displays the heart rate in beats per minute in the ECG numeric frame(Figure 7-8).
• Detects a leads-off condition, if one of the drive electrode connections is disrupted or ifeither the two neck or the two torso sense electrode connections are disrupted.
• Detects the presence of pacemaker signals within the waveform complex of the ECG.
• Recovers from defibrillator discharge within 16 seconds.
NOTE
The Heart Rate algorithm averages 6 of the most recent 8 detected R-R intervalsand excludes the longest and shortest of the 8 intervals. The average heart rate isthe reciprocal of the calculated average of the remaining 6 intervals.
LIFEGARD ICG Operator’s Manual
7-6 912-82542
Cardiac Output CO Index Cardiac Output CIMinimum Maximum Minimum Maximum
Upper Alarm Set 4.0 12.0 2.0 8.0
Lower Alarm Set 1.0 6.0 0.5 3.5
NOTE
The processing of the ICG signal requires that the waveform have the respirationcomponent of resistance change removed before further processing. This resultsin an 8 second delay before the waveform can be displayed. As the ECG wave-form must be presented synchronously with ICG, it also has an 8 second delayfrom real time. Therefore the waveform recovery on the screen will have thisadded to the recovery of the ECG waveform display.
NOTE
Figure 7-8, includes the vertical scale factors for the ICG and the ECG plots in thescreen. The scale value of each 1-cm vertical displacement of the ICG plot is 1.0 Ω/s (a unit of the impedance cardiograph). It is displayed in the same magen-ta color as the plot of the curve.
Each 1-cm vertical displacement of the ECG plot is 1 millivolt of the measuredpotentials.
Both scale factors are operator-configurable.
7.4.2 Configuring the ECG/ICG Waveform Display
The configuring process is accomplished by menu-driven actions.
To configure the graphical trend:
1. Rotate the navigation knob until the trend display is “boxed”.
2. Press the knob. The ECG/ICG Menu is displayed in the multi-use frame (Figure 7-9).

7.5 The Heart-Rate Frame in the Main DisplayFigure 7-10 illustrates the appearance of the heart-rate measurement in the Heart RateFrame (upper right corner of the main display).
Figure 7-10. ICG Main Display with Heart Rate Data in Frame
Note the following features in the Heart-Rate Frame display of Figure 7-10.
• The color of the numeric data and of the symbols in the Heart Rate Frame is the sameas the color (green) of the plotted ECG waveform in the Multi-Use Frame.
• The “heart” symbol is indicative of the parameter.
• The symbol is used to identify the ECG waveform as the source data fromwhich the heart rate is calculated. The alternate source is the NIBP measurement.When the NIBP source is used, the boxed QRS waveform symbol in the Heart RateFrame is replaced with the blood pressure symbol . The symbol is displayed inred; no other color in the frame is changed.
• The parameter alarms have been turned off, as evidenced by the “X” superimposedover the triangle symbol.
7.5.1 Configuring the Heart Rate Frame
The operator may configure the Heart-Rate Frame by using menu-driven options.
To access the menu:
1. Rotate the navigation knob to highlight (box) the Heart-Rate Frame.
2. Press the knob. The menu appears in the Multi-Use Frame (Figure 7-10 in the previ-ous paragraph).
The menu indicates the current settings of the upper and lower alarm limits. Each limitcan be modified independently. However, the monitor does not accept a lower limitgreater than the setting in effect for the upper, and, conversely, to make the upper limitless than the setting of the lower limit.

Figure 9 7. ICG Rear-Panel Printer Door
Figure 9-8. Printer Door Latching Lever
When the lever (Figure 9-8) is pressed downward, the printer door opens, revealing theremaining paper (if any) on the printer roll.
Remove any remnant of the “spent” roll. Put the replacement paper roll in the holder,and adjust the roll horizontally so that the roller will make firm contact with the paperand will “drive” the paper during the printing action.
NOTEThe paper should be placed such that the natural bend in the paper projects outover the roller as the door is closed. (See Figure 9-9.)
Close the printer door. It will latch automatically.
Turn on the monitor. The printer icon in the display should be white.
Press the front-panel print key, and check that the printer delivers a legible report.
NOTEThe paper can be replaced while the monitor is on. Repeat the process as before.The audible technical alarm (Check Printer) can be silenced with the alarm silencebutton during this operation.
NOTEIf the printer was in the process of printing a report when the paper was changed,then it will start printing that report from the beginning when the door is closed.

NOTE
The processing of the ICG signal requires that the waveform have the respirationcomponent of resistance change removed before further processing. This resultsin an 8-second delay before the waveform can be displayed. As the ECG wave-form must be presented synchronously with ICG, it also has an 8-second delayfrom real time. Therefore the waveform recovery on the screen will have thisadded to the recovery of the ECG waveform display.

A.9 Indicators
A.9.1 Audible Tones
Table A-1summarizes the characteristics of the various audible tones produced by theICG. Note that some of the tones in the table are not described elsewhere.
Table A-1 Audible Tone Table
(1) Volume Level Key:
ABV - Adjustable Blip Volume: (45 dB(A) minimum to 85dB(A) maximum in 8steps of approximately 5 dB(A) )
FAV - Fixed Alarm Volume: (45 dB(A) to 85 dB(A) as set by the power on defaultvalue
FV1 - Fixed Volume 1: 60 ± 5 dB(A) peak at one meter
FV2 - Fixed Volume 2: 55 ± 5 dB(A) peak at one meter
PV - Loss of Monitoring Alarm Volume: 85dB(A) maximum at one meter
(2) Multi-Pitch Indicator - Each pitch is sounded once, sequentially, in order listed.
(3) All audible tones will be square waves with 55% duty cycle (±1%), to generate bothodd and even harmonics and thus improve user’s ability to localize the sound sourcein a room with other sound-generating devices.
(4) Rise and fall of tone burst amplitude will be stair-case approximations of linearramps, consisting of between 4 steps (for lowest volume) and 64 steps for highestvolume.
(5) “On time” includes rise and fall time.
A.9.2 Heart Rate Tone
In the presence of a valid primary heart rate source, the ICG can produce a short (dura-tion of approximately 100 msec.) audible beep with each detected pulse. The volumerange for the beeps is 45 dB(A) to 85 dB(A) at one meter, or they may be disabledentirely (volume OFF). Volume is controlled by the front-panel Volume button.
• The audible beep is synchronized to the peak of the R-wave of the QRS complex whenthe pulse rate beep source is the heart rate signal from the ECG module.
• The pitch frequency of ECG-derived pulse beeps will be fixed at 800 Hz.

Maintenance Task Action
Inspect the monitor. Examine the exterior of the monitor for cleanliness andgeneral physical condition. Verify that the housing is notcracked or broken; that everything is present; that thereare no spilled liquids; and that there are no signs ofabuse.
Inspect the Cables and cords. Inspect all accessories (cables and battery eliminator)external to the monitor.
Refer to the accessories documentation.Examine the power plug and cord of the battery elimina-tor for damage.
If damaged, replace defective part.
Inspect the patient cables and leads and their strain-reliefs for general condition.
Make sure there are no breaks in the insulation.
Make sure that the connectors are properly engaged ateach end to prevent rotation or other strain.
With the sensor or electrodes applied to the patient, andthe monitor turned on, flex the patient cables near eachend to make sure that there are no intermittent faults.
Check brightness of screen Switch the monitor On and verify that the backlight is backlight. bright enough.
Check that screen is at its full brightness.
If the brightness is not adequate, contact your biomed-ical department.
Check battery If you are operating the monitor from battery, verify that charge condition. the battery is adequately charged before you begin use
D.2.2 Cleaning Tasks (As needed)
Caution
Do not immerse the monitor in liquid or use caustic or abrasive cleaners.
Caution
Do not spray or pour any liquid on the monitor or its accessories.
Caution
Do not allow any liquid to penetrate connectors or openings in the monitor’s chassis.
• To clean and disinfect the monitor, dampen a cloth with a commercial, nonabrasivecleaner, such as 70% isopropyl alcohol and wipe the top, bottom, and front surfaceslightly.
• For cables and cuffs, clean with a cleaning agent such as 70% isopropyl alcohol.
• If liquid is accidentally spilled on the monitor, clean and dry it thoroughly beforereuse.
Caution
After drying a wetted component (monitor, cable, sensor, battery eliminator, etc.)obtain the assistance of a qualified service person to assure safe operating condition.
D.2.3 Battery Maintenance
If the monitor has not been used for a long period of time, the battery will need charging.
• To charge the battery, connect the battery eliminator to an appropriate power supply.Connect the Battery Eliminator output to the monitor rear-panel connector.
Storing the monitor for a long period of time without charging the battery may degradethe battery’s capacity to store charge. A complete battery recharge requires 8 hours instandby mode or 14 hours in operational mode.
• We recommend that a qualified service person be requested to check the number ofdeep discharge cycles of the sealed lead-acid battery at 2-year intervals.
• Follow local governing ordinances and recycling plans regarding disposal or recyclingof batteries and other device components.

IEC 60601-1-2 Compliance Electromagnetic Environment —Immunity Test Test Level Level Guidance
RF Portable and mobile RF communicationsequipment should be used no closer toany part of the LIFEGARD ICG, includingcables, than the recommendedseparation distance calculated from theequation applicable to the frequency ofthe transmitter.
Recommended Separation Distance
Conducted 3 Vrms 1 Vrms IEC 61000-4-6 150 kHz to 80 MHz
Radiated RF 3 V/m 3 V/m IEC 61000-4-3 80 to 2500 MHz
Where P is the maximum output power ratingof the transmitter in watts (W) according to thetransmitter manufacturer and d is the recom-mended separation distance in meters (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, asdetermined by an electromagnetic site survey,ashould be less than the compliance level ineach frequency range.b
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equip-ment with the following symbol:
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and landmobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoreticallywith accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic sitesurvey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the LIFEGARD ICG is usedexceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the LIFEGARD ICG should be observed to verify normaloperation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting orrelocating the LIFEGARD ICG.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 1 V/m.
NOTE: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorptionand reflection from structures, objects and people.
