Depending on the specific clinical situation, the ICP and ICT
alarms may trigger simultaneously or independently.
NOTE
Stand right in front of the Monitor touch screen for
proper alarm readability.
The Monitor manages two alarm priority levels, depending on
the physiological parameter alarming:
– ICP: High clinical priority - Fast response time
– ICT: Moderate clinical priority - Delayed response time
6. Initial Installation
6.1. INSTALLING THE BATTERY
For added safety, the battery is not pre-connected to the
Monitor, and must be installed, prior to use.
Follow these steps to install the battery:
1.
Remove screw (23) using the supplied screwdriver to
open the battery cover, located on bottom panel of the
Monitor.
2.
Remove the tie and label from the battery connectors.
3.
Insert battery as shown in the picture and connect the
mated battery connectors (24) until a click is heard.
When the ICP alarm threshold is triggered, the mean ICP val-
ue flashes on a red background (Q). The cursor (T) for the
ICP curve also becomes red.
When the ICT alarm threshold is triggered, the ICT value
flashes on a yellow background (R).
When either physiological alarm is triggered, the cursor of
the alarm threshold gauge places itself:
– above the gauge (P) if the alarm thresholds are exceeded
upwards,
– below the gauge (S) if the alarm thresholds are exceeded
downwards.
The visual alarms are accompanied by an audible alarm,
which may be deactivated for 2 minutes by pressing the
button.
For more information on physiological alarms, see Sec-
tion 5.4.3.8. Temporary Audible Alarm Suspension (p. 16).
NOTE
If an alarm threshold is briefly exceeded, the visual
alarm may still be flashing, although the value has re-
turned to within the set limits. This visual alarm will dis-
appear after 30 seconds.
4.
Replace battery cover, and tighten screw (23).
6.2. CONFIGURING THE TIME ZONE
NOTE
Configuring the time zone and setting summer time
(Daylight Saving Time) or winter time (Standard Time)
are necessary for accurately dating the measurements,
which are recorded in the history.
Follow these steps to configure the time zone:
1.
Connect the Monitor to mains power using the power
cable.
2.
Press the power button.
The battery indicator (orange) and power indicator
(green) lights on the front panel of the Monitor will glow
simultaneously for 4 seconds. The Monitor then emits a
series of 3 beeps.
WARNING
If either of the indicators does not glow, or if the
Monitor does not emit 3 beeps when starting, dis-
connect the Monitor and contact Sophysa Custom-
er Service at contact@sophysa.com, or contact
your local distributor.
The touch screen lights up, and the time zone options
appear:
