Monitor Installation and Patient Safety

5.Parameter Module Rack Connector; this connects the parameter module rack to the monitor.

6.Defibrillator sync connector; sends an ECG signal out to a defibrillator or other external device or receives a marker pulse from a defibrillator or other external device. The marker pulse is processed with the ECG signal and displayed on the monitor.

Note—To filter radiated emissions, a core shielding bead (Philips P/N 9170-1521) must be attached to the defibrillator synchronization cable when a defibrillator is connected to the monitor. This filter has no impact on the function of the monitor. To attach the core shielding bead:

a.Open the core shielding bead (filter).

b.Place the bead around the defib sync cable as close to the jack as possible.

c.Close the bead over the cable and snap shut.

d.Plug the cable into the monitor's defib sync port. The bead should be at the monitor end of the cable.
