Warnings, Cautions, and Safety Precautions Relating to Wall Mount Installation  
Warnings, Cautions, and Safety Precautions Relating to Wall Mount  
Installation  
Make sure that you have read all applicable instructions before attempting to install the  
wall mount.  
Wall mounts that are intended to support monitors must be capable of supporting four  
times the weight of the monitor when properly installed.  
If wall mounts are to be installed on plaster board walls, we recommend that the mounts  
be installed using steel or plywood plates sufficient to distribute the load over a large  
section of the wall. Lead expansion bolts are neither adequate nor safe for this  
purpose.  
It is the responsibility of the hospital, institution, or its designated representatives to  
determine that the wall is adequate to safely mount monitoring instrumentation. This  
includes the selection of and proper installation of the appropriate fasteners and mounts.  
In a new construction, or in a remodelled construction where the wall can be completely  
or partially removed, a 16-gauge steel stud should be mounted for the purpose of  
attaching the wall channel. This design safety factor is based on four times (4x) the  
maximum rated load.  
GCX Wall Channel: Always reposition the adjustable channel safety stop under the  
adapter plate when the height of the monitor is changed.  
The channel safety stop prevents the mounting device from inadvertently falling or  
being pulled out of the wall channel. Do not remove this stop while the mount is  
supporting a monitor.  
Do not mount any portion of the monitor over a patient’s bed.  
Do not exceed the maximum rated load specified for each wall mount.  
Ensure that no electrical wiring, utilities, or piping interface with the selected wall  
mounting location.  
Do not install wall channel onto solid brick or brick veneer walls. Do not attempt to  
install wall mounts onto crumbly wall material.  
Check the mounting hardware holding the wall channel or bracket to the wall every 12  
months. Tighten if necessary.

Battery Maintenance  
This section provides some information on how to handle and maintain the battery.  
Warning  
Follow local governing ordinances and recycling plans regarding disposal or recycling  
batteries and other device components.  
About the  
Battery  
Storing the monitor for a long period of time without charging the battery can degrade the  
battery capacity. A complete battery recharge (>90%) requires 8 hours in standby mode or 14  
hours in operational mode. If the battery needs charging, connect the monitor to the AC outlet  
If the monitor operates for less than one hour on battery power before the low battery alarm  
occurs, the battery should be conditioned. See “Electrical”on page 12-3 for typical battery  
operating times and conditions.  
If the same symptom persists after the battery is conditioned and indicating a full charge, the  
battery should be replaced (see “Removing the Battery”on page 7-4 for more information).

Battery Maintenance  
Battery  
Guidelines  
To get the most out of the battery, observe the following guidelines:  
The shelf-life of a fully charged battery is about 6 months.  
After a battery has been activated, keep it charged. If it is not in use, recharge it every 3  
to 4 months.  
Condition the battery approximately every 200 deep discharges.  
Remove the battery from the monitor if it is not being used regularly. (Leaving the  
battery in a monitor that is not in regular use using the battery will shorten the life of  
the battery).  
Battery Disposal - We recommend replacing the monitor’s sealed, lead-acid battery at 2  
year intervals. Follow local governing ordinances and recycling plans regarding  
disposal or recycling of batteries and other device components.  
Do not dispose of the battery in normal waste containers.  
Warning  
If the battery shows signs of damage or signs of leakage, replace it immediately. Do not  
use a faulty battery in the monitor.  
Checking  
the Battery  
Status  
When the monitor is connected to the AC (mains) power supply, the battery charges  
automatically.  
Battery status is indicated several ways:  
LEDs on the front panel of the monitor.  
Battery gauge on the monitor’s main monitoring screen.  
INOP messages  
The AC LED is only on when the power cord is connected and the AC power is available to  
the monitor. In this case, the battery can be either charging or fully charged.

If the battery operating time is less than 30 minutes, the battery icon flashes. A low  
priority audio alarm sounds (1 beep every 4 seconds).  
When the battery is empty, a "Low Battery" INOP message displays in the Message  
frame and the audible alarm sounds. Pressing any front panel button clears the INOP  
and silences the audible alarm. The battery icon continues to flash until the monitor is  
powered down or automatically switches off.  
If the new battery is partly or fully charged, the monitor starts operating.  
Charging  
the Battery  
A complete battery recharge (>90%) requires 8 hours in standby mode or 14 hours in  
operational mode.  
To charge the battery:  
Step  
Action  
1
2
3
Connect the monitor to the AC power source using the proper power cord.  
Verify that the AC Input Indicator LED is lit.  
Charge the battery for at least 8 hours. The battery may require a full discharge/  
charge cycle to restore it to its normal capacity.

To check for a full charge, perform the procedure described in “Battery  
Maintaining the Monitor 3-9  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
Battery Maintenance  
Conditioning  
a Battery  
Battery conditioning re-calibrates the battery to ensure that it has accurate information on the  
actual battery capacity.  
Warning  
Never use a monitor that is monitoring a patient to perform battery conditioning.  
Why is Battery  
Conditioning  
Necessary?  
The capacity of a battery decreases gradually over the lifetime of the battery. Each time a  
battery is charged its capacity decreases slightly. Therefore, the operating time of a monitor  
running off the battery also decreases with each charge cycle.  
Battery conditioning ensures that the value storied in the battery for its fully capacity takes  
account of this decrease, so that the remaining battery charge can be calculated accurately,  
and the low battery warning given at the right time.  
When Should  
Battery  
Conditioning  
be Performed?  
Battery conditioning should be performed:  
Every 200 deep discharge cycles.  
How to  
Condition a  
Battery  
We recommend two full charge and discharge cycles to ensure proper conditioning,  
independent of the initial condition of the battery.  
If you need to continue battery powered monitoring, replace the battery in the monitor with a  
different charged and conditioned battery. You cannot condition a battery in a monitor that is  
being used.  
Step  
Action  
1
Insert the battery that is to be conditioned into a monitor that is not currently  
being used.  
2

6
Disconnect the monitor from the AC power supply.  
Turn on the monitor, and leave it on until it switches off automatically.  
Turn the monitor Off using the On/Standby button located on the front panel.  
Reconnect the monitor the AC power supply.  
Charge the battery until it is full. (When you turn the monitor On, the 5 bars in  
the battery gauge on the main monitoring screen will be illuminated).

Preventative Maintenance Tests  
Preventative Maintenance Tests  
Preventative maintenance refers specifically to the service tests required to make sure the  
monitor measurement results accurate. In cases where the performance of NBP is in question  
or could have been configured during repair, the complete set of NBP tests described in this  
service manual should be used.  
The tests in this section verify the functionality of the monitor’s pneumatic system. All of  
these tests, which the exception of the Basic Pneumatic Leakage (BPL) Test, require the use  
of an NBP simulator.  
Note  
The monitor must be placed in Diagnostic Mode, with the NBP test screen active for each of  
the NBP tests. To place your monitor into this mode see page 4-9.  
Tools Needed for NBP Testing:  
NBP cuff (40401C)  
NBP tubing (M1599B)  
Bio-Tek BP Pump 2 simulator or equivalent, with an internal test volume of 310 ml.

Performance Procedures  
Leakage  
Check  
The Leakage Check consists of two parts:  
Part 1 - Checking the tubing between the pump outlet and the CO module outlet.  
2
Part 2 - Checking the tubing between the pump inlet and the FilterLine inlet.  
Note  
Check the flowmeter’s user guide for details on how to make a correct flow reading.  
Part 1  
Step  
Action  
1
Check the ambient and cell pressure shown in the status line on the screen. The  
cell pressure should be approximately 20 mmHg (2.7 kPa) lower than the  
ambient pressure.  
2
3
Connect the flowmeter outlet to the FilterLine inlet using a flexible connecting  
tube.  
Block the CO module outlet using your fingertip and observe the flowmeter  
2
display. The value on the flowmeter (X2) should decrease to between 0 and 4 ml/  
minute. If the value is not within the tolerance limits, there is a leakage between  
the pump outlet and the CO module gas outlet.  
2
4
If a leakage is found in Step 3, open the CO module and check the tubing  
2
connections at the pump outlet and the module CO gas outlet. If the connections  
2
are good, then there is leakage in the module and the CO module must be  
2
exchanged.  
Part 2  
Step  
Action  
1
Disconnect the flowmeter from the Part 1 setup and connect the flowmeter inlet  
to the CO module gas outlet.  
2
2
3
Leave the FilterLine connected to the CO module inlet.  
2
Block the inlet of the FilterLine using your fingertip and observe the flowmeter  
display. The value on the flowmeter (X3) should decrease to between 0 and 4 ml/  
minute. If the value is within the tolerance limits, there are no leakages and the  
leakage check is completed. You can proceed to the “Pump Check”.  
4
5
If the value is not within the tolerance limits, there is a leakage between the  
FilterLine inlet and the pump inlet.  
Check the FilterLine connections and open the monitor to check the tubing  
connections at the pump inlet and the CO module gas inlet. If the connections  
2
are good, try replacing the FilterLine and repeating the leakage check. If the  
situation remains, there is a leakage in the tubing and the CO module must be  
2
exchanged.

Connect the flowmeter to the CO FilterLine.  
2
On the flowmeter, check the flow that the CO Pump draws (X5). The nominal  
2
value is 50; the acceptable limits are 42.5 and 65 ml/minute. If the value is  
within these limits, proceed to the CO Gas calibration check. If not within the  
2
limits, calibrate as follows.  
3
4
Select Flow Rate Check and Calibration. Adjust the flow in the monitor by  
selecting Increase Flow or Decrease Flow until it is as close as possible to 50  
ml per minute as indicated on the flowmeter gauge. The pump voltage displayed  
on the second row of the CO Test screen will vary as the flow is changed.  
2
When you are satisfied that the flow is set as close as possible to 50 ml per  
minute, select Store Flow to confirm the setting  
Note  
If the adjusted flow is not stored within 60 seconds of the adjustment, the old flow setting is  
restored. If the flow cannot be adjusted to within tolerance, the pump should be replaced. If  
the flow adjustment still cannot be made, this indicates a fault in the CO module, which must  
2
be replaced.

NBP Test  
A NBP Test screen is provided to facilitate troubleshooting problems and performing  
verification testing for the NBP subsystem. Typically, when these tests are performed, the  
pneumatic system is connected to an external pressure-reading device and a closed reference  
volume. The NBP Test screen provides a real-time numeric display of the pressure in the  
pneumatic system, means for controlling the pump and valves are open or closed.  
Warning  
A blood pressure cuff, connected to the monitor, should never be applied to a human  
being while the monitor is in Diagnostic Mode. Injury could result.

Activate Pump  
As long as the NBP button is pressed,  
the pump runs. If system pressure  
reaches the hardware over-pressure  
protection point (280 to 330 mmHg or  
37.3 to 44.0 kPa), the safety valve opens  
and the pump disables, until the pressure  
falls below the safety threshold.  
Open Both Valves  
Deflate  
As long as the Volume button is pressed,  
the safety valve and proportional valve  
opens and remains at maximum.  
As long as the Alarm Silence button is  
pressed, the proportional valve opens  
and bleeds off pressure at the rate of 3  
1.5 mmHg/s. It is useful to control the  
bleed rate to 3mmHg/s to facilitate  
certain AAMI SP10 tests. Any time the  
bleed rate falls below 3 mmHg/s, the  
valve opens and remains at maximum as  
long as the button is pressed.  
Offset Adjustment  
Momentarily press the Contrast Adjust  
button invokes the Zero Calibration  
routine that is performed immediately  
prior to each blood pressure  
measurement. This routine looks at the  
pressure in the system, and if the  
pressure is non-zero, an offset is applied  
which causes the system pressure to  
display as Zero.  
When in the NBP Test screen, the Return option is always highlighted. Press the wheel to

The primary repair method used by Philips service personnel is unit exchange. The current  
design of the monitor requires testing if the case is opened.  
Bench  
Repair  
The secondary repair method is bench repair. Special tools are required and are listed in  
“Equipment” on page 4-8. If the case is opened, specific tests must be performed. These tests  
are listed in detail along with the Test Map in Chapter 4.  
At the Philips Parts Center, we will stock the board level assemblies and mechanical parts  
based on existing failure data and customer demand. These parts are listed in Chapter 8. The  
availability of additional spare parts will be notified by service notes.  
The troubleshooting guide in Chapter 6. is sufficient for assembly level bench repairs. Before  
a repair is performed, consider whether a repair or a replacement is most suitable.

Theory of Operation and System Architecture  
Theory of Operation and System Architecture  
This section contains a high level overview of the theory of operation of the major functional  
modules of the monitor. Philips service providers perform Bench Repair at the assembly level.  
For this purpose, they should review this high level information.  
Please be aware that Philips only stocks assembly level parts.  
System  
Overview  
The monitor is a full function monitor for use on adult and pediatric patients.  
The functions performed by the system include monitoring patient ECG, heart rate,  
1
respiration rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, carbon dioxide , and temperature.  
In addition to monitoring and displaying the status of these physiological parameters, the  
instrument performs various microprocessor-programmed analytical functions, such as:  
Creating both visual and audible alarm signals when set limits are violated.  
Creating and displaying warning messages when conditions are detected that would  
degrade or prevent valid measurements.  
Creating and displaying trend waveforms or tabular data.  
Providing a synchronizing pulse for defibrillator operation.  
Providing input to an optional recorder for printout of current or trend waveforms or  
tabular data.  
The monitor is essentially a battery-powered instrument. An internal charging unit is designed  
to accept an external AC line voltage. The charger uses the external power source to maintain  
a "float" voltage source available from the batteries.

Theory of Operation and System Architecture  
Isolated  
Front End  
The Isolated Front End section includes all of the circuitry to convert ECG, SpO , and  
2
Temperature measurements to digital format; and to connect this information to the processor.  
The Respiration detection is obtained from two of the three electrodes of the ECG  
connections.  
NBP Front  
End  
The NBP section contains the pumps, valves, pressure measurement circuitry, and control  
circuitry for the non-invasive blood pressure measurement. Pressure data is converted to  
digital format and conveyed to the processor section.  
Power  
System  
The power system section contains a power supply capable of operating the monitor and  
charging the battery from an AC source of 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz. This section also  
contains the circuitry. The battery provides the operating power for this power.  
Micro-  
The Microprocessor, Memory and Control section contains the system CPU and all digital  
support circuitry. The latter includes the RAM, non-volatile memory, and real-time clock.  
This section also contains the display logic, keypad (switch) interface logic, RS-232 I/O  
control, defibrillator synchronization control, and printer logic.  
processor,  
Memory and  
Control  
Display  
Keypad  
The display is a TFT (color), backlit fluorescent LCD unit. The active screen size is 8.3 x 6.2  
in (210.8 x 157.5 mm): 10.4 in (264.2 mm) diagonally, and the resolution is 640 x 480 pixels.  
The keypad circuit contains five push-button membrane switches and two green LEDs. The  
LEDs are driven by the power supply system and indicate the power source.  
Signals from LEDs are returned to the microcomputer for processing and control as required.  
The On/Standby button, connected directly to the power supply, toggles the power between  
On and Standby modes. When in Standby, the display is blank, and no monitoring is  
performed. However, the batteries are charging if an AC source is connected to the rear panel.  
The Audio Alarm Control button is connected directly to the processor and to the system  
power supply. Pressing this button turns off the battery fuse alarm in the system power  
supply. Response of the processor depends upon the action in pressing this button. If  
momentarily pressed (less than 2 seconds), alarms are paused temporarily for a preset interval  
determined by the menu selection. If pressed twice within 10 seconds, the alarm sounding for  
a specific parameter is silenced temporarily for a preset interval determined by the menu  
selection. Other alarms, not related to this parameter, can still sound during this period. If  
pressed and held for 2 seconds or more, the Audio Off condition is initiated.  
The NBP button is connected to the processor. Response of the processor depends upon the  
state of NBP operation at the time and the action in pressing this button. If momentarily  
pressed, (less than 2 seconds), a single NBP measurement is obtained. If pressed for 2 seconds  
or more, the processor initiates a STAT monitoring sequence. Pressing the NBP switch at any  
time a pressure measurement is in effect causes the processor to terminate the measurement  
and to deflate the cuff.

Theory of Operation and System Architecture  
The Contrast button operates in conjunction with the navigation wheel to determine the  
apparent contrast setting in the display. Changing the contrast is a change in the viewing  
angle. Outputs of the button and wheel are connected to the processor.  
Momentarily pressing the button sets the contrast to mid-range, factory-default value.  
Momentarily pressing of the button, followed within 3 seconds by a rotation of the wheel are  
processed to vary the contrast of the display. When there has been no wheel rotation for 3  
seconds, the contrast control function is terminated by the processor. The contrast control  
function is also terminated if the wheel is pressed any time within this 3 second interval.  
Operation of the Volume button accomplishes similar functions for the volume of the heart  
rate audible tone as the display contrast control button does for the display. Pressing this  
button, enables the wheel to vary the tone volume.  
Navigation  
Wheel  
This is a rotating, push-switch wheel. The associated wheel circuitry generates a pulse when  
pressed and generates a digitally encoded pair of quadrature signals whose relative  
magnitudes and polarities represent the angular position of the wheel. These outputs are  
connected to the processor where they are interpreted as required for the functions involved.  
Successive angular positions determine the direction of wheel rotation.  
In addition to the functions performed when in conjunction with the keypad as described  
above, the wheel operates in conjunction with the display to select menus and lists of  
parameter variables.  
RS-232 I/O  
This is a rear panel 9-pin connector providing interfaces with other computer systems or  
equipment. The driver for this "port" is a Universal Asynchronous Receive-Transmit (UART)  
integrated circuit that interfaces this port with the microprocessor. The baud rate for this serial  
transmission function is programmable from 1200 baud to 38.4 kilobaud.  
Pin number 9 of the RS-232 connector is reserved for a Nurse Call signal. The nurse call  
signal reacts when a low, medium, or high level alarm is activated.  
Defib Sync  
Pulse  
The rear panel connector for the Defib Sync Pulse is keyed so that the connection of a cable  
can be detected by the processor. When a connection is detected, the processor software  
initiates the generation by hardware of a TTL-compatible pulse capable of driving 1 TTL load  
over a three-meter cable with less than 200 pF capacitance.  
The defib pulse is triggered by the detection of the R-wave in the QRS sequence of the ECG  
wave-form complex. The pulse signal is active for 100 ±10 ms.  
Speaker  
The speaker is capable of providing 73 dBA of volume at a distance of one meter during  
alarm conditions. The processor drives the speaker in different patterns as specified for the  
different alarm priorities and conditions. Refer to the C3 Instructions for Use guide for  
descriptions of alarm responses.

Theory of Operation and System Architecture  
Recorder  
The optional recorder module is installed in the right panel of the monitor. Refer to the C3  
Instructions for Use guide for printing procedures. It provides users with the capability to  
obtain hard-copy records of selected vital sign information.  
Basic control of the recorder is implemented by two push-button controls on the recorder’s  
front panel. The Continuous button is used to obtain continuous recordings of the real-time  
waveforms displayed in the top two graphic frames. Along with the waveforms, the recorder  
prints the values of the vital signs being displayed. The printing continues until the user  
presses either recorder button a second time.  
The Snapshot button initiates a snapshot printout for 20 seconds of the same information  
recorded by the continuous control.  
If scrolling is enabled in a display frame containing trend data when the Continuous button is  
operated, then the trend record for that vital sign is printed. If the Snapshot button is  
operated, then only the trend data on the display is printed.  
The recorder may be programmed via the monitor menu display to print a snapshot recording  
when an alarm condition occurs.  
Printing is accomplished on 50 mm wide thermal paper at recorder speeds programmable up  
to 55 mm/s.  
ECG  
Processing  
The technique used in ECG senses the varying potential difference between two points at the  
skin surface which respond to the electro-chemical actions of the muscular activity of the  
heart.  
Three electrodes are attached to the patient’s right arm (RA), left arm (LA) and left leg (LL).  
The varying potentials at these locations are cable-connected to the ECG circuit inputs where  
they are conditioned, and the difference of potential between two selected leads is digitized  
before transmitting through opto-isolators to the processor. The processor-installed algorithms  
operate on the signals to develop drivers for the graphic display and to compute the heart rate  
in beats per minute (BPM).  
In addition to the acquisition of the QRS waveform complex, the ECG input and subsequent  
signal processing computing circuitry perform a number of other functions:  
They detect a "lead-off" condition if one of the electrode connections is disrupted.  
They detect the presence of pacemaker signals within the QRS waveform complex of  
the ECG.  
They generate a synchronization pulse for external use with defibrillators. The Defib  
Sync Pulse output is available at a connector in the rear panel.  
Respiration  
Processing  
The patient’s respiration is detected by using two of the three leads of the ECG electrodes and  
cable. A low-level excitation signal is applied to these leads, and the variation of the thoracic  
impedance caused by the breathing is sensed and processed for display and measurement.

Theory of Operation and System Architecture  
NBP  
Processing  
The NBP processing uses an oscillometric technique to provide needed measurements at  
selected intervals. This technique uses an inflatable sphygmomanometer cuff similar to those  
used by clinicians in routine measurements.  
A motorized pump inflates the cuff to approximately 180 mmHg initially, at which point the  
pressure effectively stops the flow of blood. Then, under monitor control, the pressure in the  
cuff is gradually reduced, while a pressure transducer detects the air pressure and transmits  
the parameter signal to the NBP input circuitry.  
As the pressure is reduced, blood flows in the previously occluded artery, and changes the  
measurements made by the transducer. The point at which oscillation increases sharply is  
defined as systolic pressure. As the cuff continues to deflate, oscillation amplitude increases  
to a maximum, and then decreases. The peak oscillation amplitude is defined as the mean  
arterial pressure. The point at which the system detects a rapid decrease in oscillation is  
defined as the diastolic pressure.  
SpO  
Measurement of oxygen saturation in the blood uses a specrophotometry technique. It is based  
on the facts that oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin differ in their absorbtion of red and  
infrared light, and that the volume of arterial blood in tissue changes during the pulse.  
2
Processing  
Using these facts, a pulse oximeter passes red and infrared light into an arteriolar bed and  
measures changes in light absorption during the pulsatile cycle. The light sources are red and  
infrared light emitting diodes (LEDs), while the detection is accomplished by a photo diode.  
To identify the oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin, the monitor uses the pulsatile nature  
of arterial flow. During systole, a new pulse of arterial blood enters the vacular bed, and both  
blood volume and light absorption increase. During diastole, blood volume and light  
absorption reach their lowest point. The measurement is based upon the difference between  
maximum and minimum absorption, focusing on the pulsatile arterial blood.  
In addition to the oximetry function, the input signals may be used to calculate heart rate.  
CO  
The Microstream CO board consists of an 80C552 Controller, the memory system (Flash  
2
2
Processing  
ROM, RAM, PLA, etc.), the Flow system (FilterLine recognition system, Inlet, solenoid  
valve), Measurement Cell (Exciter, IR Source, Detectors and Temp Sensor) and an analog  
section with ADC.  
The gas inlet allows the connection of Microstream FilterLines. The FilterLines are detected  
by the Optical Code Recognition.  
Temperature  
Processing  
Measurement of patient temperature is accomplished by processing the signal from a probe  
containing a resistor whose impedance is temperature dependent. The class of such  
components is called thermistor.  
The C3 is designed to accept the signals from electrically isolated Series 400 probes  
manufactured by Yellow Springs Incorporated. Interchangeable probes in this series may be  
used for esophageal, rectal, skin or surface, or airway temperature measurement. Probes are  
furnished with a standard 10-feet lead. Extension leads are available.  
The signal from the probe is conditioned by the monitor’s input circuitry, processed, and used  
to drive the numeric display.

Disassembly  
Disassembly procedures are described in the disassembly guide in Chapter 7. Read the whole  
chapter.  
Whenever the monitor has been opened, there are specific steps regarding reassembly,  
described in the disassembly instructions in Chapter 7, that must be followed. If these  
instructions are not followed, errors may result.  
If the monitor fails the required performance tests described in Chapter4, then please review  
the reassembly.
