1. INTRODUCTION AND INTENDED USE

INTRODUCTION

The CARDELL Veterinary Monitors, Models 9401 and 9402, are vital signs monitors measuring blood pressure and oxygen saturation. The monitors are restricted for use, one patient at a time.

Non-invasive blood pressure is measured using the oscillometric technique determining systolic, diastolic, mean arterial pressure and pulse rate. The pulse oximeter function continuously monitors and displays values for functional arterial hemoglobin saturation and a pulse rate.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The CARDELL Monitor is a portable device intended to be used by trained clinicians for multiparameter vital signs monitoring of veterinary patients. Parameters displayed are the noninvasive blood pressure (systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure), pulse rate and functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (%SpO

2

).

WARNING:

The CARDELL Monitor is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment. It must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

No contraindications are known at this time.

BRIEF DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The CARDELL Monitor is compact, lightweight and portable, allowing it to be easily carried and used in a variety of clinical settings. The monitor is powered by AC Line Power or by a Nickel

Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable battery pack. The internal battery pack charges when the monitor is plugged into the AC wall outlet. The CARDELL Monitor can be set to operate in one

(1) of ten (10) different languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish,

Portuguese, Norwegian or Danish. The message window can display various system alarm messages. These messages direct the user to check conditions such as the battery state, air leaks and measurement problems. The message window also displays the operational mode of the monitor (automatic or manual).

The non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) parameter automatically inflates an occluding cuff and, using the oscillometric measurement technique, determines systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure and pulse rate. Measurement results along with operator prompts and error messages are displayed on the front panel. The frequency of NIBP determination can be selected by the operator in varied times between one and ninety minutes. The auto and manual operating modes cover a variety of clinical uses.

The pulse oximeter parameter (%SpO

2

) determines arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation by measuring the absorption of red and infrared light passing through the tissue. Changes in absorption caused by pulsations of blood in the vascular bed are used to determine arterial saturation and pulse rate. The oximeter requires no routine calibration or maintenance.

Oxygen saturation and heart rate are displayed on light emitting diode (LED) digital displays.

On each detected pulse, the perfusion LED does indicate patient perfusion signals. This bar graph gives the user a pulse-by-pulse visual indication of waveform signal quality. An audio

“beep” can be enabled that is generated each time the SpO

2

module detects a pulse.

NOTE:

The bar graph is not proportional to the pulse volume.

4. SAFETY MEASURES AND WARNINGS

WARNING:

The CARDELL MODEL 9401 and 9402 monitors are intended for VETERINARY USE ONLY.

Do no use on human patient.

Do not use this instrument for any purpose other than specified in this manual. Doing so will invalidate the monitor’s warranty.

Do not connect more than one (1) patient to the monitor.

Do not plug the monitor into an outlet controlled by a wall switch.

Before each use, verify that the alarm limits are appropriate for the patient being monitored.

The position of subject, physiological condition, and other factors affect the readings.

Blood pressure and pulse can fluctuate greatly between measurements; the monitor cannot alert the user to changes in vital signs occurring between measurement cycles.

Occasionally, electrical signals at the heart do not produce a peripheral pulse. If a patient’s beat-to-beat pulse amplitude varies significantly (for example, pulsus alternans, atrial fibrillation, rapid-cycling artificial ventilator), blood pressure and pulse rate readings can be erratic and an alternate measuring method should be used for confirmation.

Where the integrity of the external protective conductor in the installation or its arrangement is in doubt, EQUIPMENT shall be operated from its INTERNAL ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCE.

Isolation of product from mains can only be achieved by removal of external power cord.

Do not, under any circumstances, perform any testing or maintenance on the monitor or power cord while the unit is being used to monitor a patient. Unplug the power cord before cleaning or servicing the monitor. The operator should not perform any servicing except as specifically stated in this manual.

Do not touch part of non-medical electrical equipment in the patient environment after removal of covers, connectors etc… without the use of a tool which operate at voltages not exceeding 25

VAC or 60 VDC and the patient at the same time.

Do not use a frayed or damaged power cord, or any accessory if you notice any sign of damage.

Contact Midmark for assistance.

Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a FLAMMABLE ANESTHETICS.

Equipment is not intended to be used in Oxygen Enriched Atmospheres.

WARNING:

The use of accessory equipment not complying with the equivalent safety requirements of this equipment may lead to a reduced level of safety of the resulting system. Consideration relating to the choice shall include:

- Use of the accessory in the Patient Environment.

- Evidence that the safety certification of the accessory has been performed in accordance with the appropriate IEC 60601.1 and/or IEC 60601.1.1 harmonized national standard.

Do not gas sterilize or autoclave the monitor.

Do not use the monitor in the presence of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) equipment.

Do not apply the blood pressure cuff on an extremity being used for an intravenous infusion.

Do not place liquids on top of the monitor. Do not immerse the monitor or power cord in water or any liquid. If unit is accidentally wetted it should be thoroughly dried. The rear cover can be removed by a qualified service technician to verify absence of water.

Accurate oxygen saturation measurement cannot be obtained with the Model 9402 when the oximeter is not measuring the pulse properly. If the perfusion bar graph or the PULSE RATE be erratic or inaccurate, first examine the animal for any signs of distress and only then re-examine sensor placement.

Inadequate perfusion, thick fur, dark skin or foreign matter that blocks light or an improperly applied sensor can result in erratic and inaccurate oxygen saturation and/or pulse rate measurement. Should the perfusion bar graph be at a low level, reposition the sensor or try a different sensor. If proper operation cannot be verified, remove the sensor from the animal and do not use the oximeter on this animal.

In the event the sensor becomes dislodged from the animal, audible and visual alarms are activated requiring that a veterinary professional investigate the reason for the alarm status. The veterinary professional should investigate status and sensor attachment after every sensor alarm indication. It is possible when the sensor is dislodged from the animal (under certain conditions of light and vibration of the sensor) for the pulse oximeter to display normal physiological values.

5. BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING

CUFF SELECTION AND APPLICATION

The use of properly designed and sized cuffs is essential for the accurate non-invasive measurement of blood pressure. Midmark cuffs are recommended for use with the CARDELL

Monitor.

NOTE:

CAS recommends the use of Midmark cuffs with the CARDELL Monitor.

CAS recommends the use of the inflation hose supplied with the monitor or a replacement from

CAS.

The widest cuff that can be placed around the limb should be used. A cuff that is too small for the limb will not supply sufficient occlusion pressure to the artery. This can cause an erroneously high blood pressure reading. Ideally, cuff width should be 40% of the limb circumference. Substitution of a cuff different from that supplied might result in a measurement error.

NOTE:

Overlapping the cuff will not affect the measurement results.

For best results, a cuff should be wrapped for a snug fit and be positioned reasonably close to heart level. Measurements made above the level of the heart will give reduced blood pressure readings. Measurements made below the heart level will give increased readings. These errors are mainly due to the weight of the blood.

NOTE:

Avoid compression or restriction of the NIBP Inflation Hose. The hose must not be kinked or pinched. It can be placed in any position, but it should be kept off the table surface to avoid equipment vibrations.

WARNING:

The cuff should not be applied on a limb being used for an intravenous infusion. Do not place the cuff on any extremity being used for SpO

2

monitoring.

See Section 11, ACCESSORIES for CAS Medical Systems cuff size and part number information.

SITE SELECTION

Place the patient on a padded surface or chair to provide comfort. Shivering will inhibit the monitor from making a determination.

CUFF PLACEMENT FOR A CAT

A cat may be left in its owner’s lap to keep it calm. Measurements are best done in an area of the hospital away from noise and bright lights. The animal may be held so that the front limbs are free for cuff placement. In conscious patients, the tail may be the most appropriate location for placement of the cuff. Cats may be most comfortable in sternal recumbency making the tail a more preferable site.

For the median artery on the foreleg, place the cuff around the forelimb, between the elbow and carpus. Hair need not be clipped except when heavily matted. In cats less than five (5) pounds when measurements are difficult to obtain, place the cuff around the leg above the elbow to obtain measurements from the brachial artery. Measurements from the coccygeal artery may be used by placing the cuff around the base of the tail but not in anesthetized patients.

CUFF PLACEMENT FOR A DOG

For measurements in dogs, it is preferable to use the right lateral, sternal or dorsal recumbent positions. That is not a problem in anesthetized patients, but it may be difficult to get large dogs to cooperate for proper positioning. If the dog is in a sitting position, place the front paw on the operator’s knee and take measurements from the metacarpus.

Sites for cuff placement are the metacarpus, metatarsus and anterior tibial. In anesthetized patients, most surgeries are done on the posterior part of the body so the metacarpal area of the forelimb is most convenient. In situations where this is not possible, the cuff should be wrapped around the metatarsus just proximal to the tarsal pad or around the hind leg just distal to the hock. The tail site should not be used for cuff placement during anesthesia.

If the hair over the artery site is too thick or matted for good contact, it should be clipped.

Figure 3:

Dog Cuff Placement

NOTE:

Use metacarpus or metatarsus.

Next

To achieve the most accurate readings, it is important to keep the cuff on a horizontal plane with the heart.

LARGER ANIMALS

A large animal such as a horse should be in a stock, standing still, or lying down.

For horses and cows, the cuff can be wrapped around the base of the tail using the coccygeal artery on the ventral surface.

WARNING:

When monitoring over an extended period of time, or at frequent intervals, periodically observe the patient’s limb to make sure that the circulation is not impaired for a prolonged period of time.

CUFF SIZE SELECTION

The widest cuff that can be placed on the patient, without extending beyond the joint, should be selected. Appropriate sized cuffs may be selected based on published guidelines that cuff width should be 40 – 60% of limb circumference. The cuff should be wrapped for a snug fit.

Overlapping the cuff will not affect measurement results. Make sure the hook and loop sections of the cuff are fully engaged when it is wrapped around the limb. If not fully engaged, the cuff will detach during bladder inflation. If that happens, select the next size bigger cuff. Adhesive tape or other material should not be used to secure the cuff.

Which Blood Pressure is Normal in Dogs or Cats?

1

It is essential to know the reference range of blood pressure in a given species in order to properly evaluate the animal’s blood pressure and detect hypertension or hypotension. When using different measurement techniques (oscillometry or direct blood pressure measurements), one must also remember that methodological factors influence results. Therefore, techniquespecific reference values should be known. Species-specific, breed-specific, and individual differences in normal blood pressure ranges can be observed. The most accurate assessments are made by comparing different blood pressure readings over time using serial measurements made at regular intervals (at least once yearly). This makes it possible to detect the initial signs of related disease (e.g. cardiovascular and renal disease) more sensitively and at an earlier stage. The normal values for dogs and cats are not identical.

FELINE NORMAL VALUES

The blood pressure values for cats are not breed-specific. However, the most sensitive way to detect changes in feline blood pressure is also by comparing individual blood pressure readings taken over time.

6. PULSE OXIMETRY MONITORING

(Model 9402 only)

The CARDELL Model 9402 Monitor is intended for animal monitoring by trained personnel. It displays numerical values for oxygen saturation and pulse rate. The Model 9402 has provisions for alarm settings.

WARNING:

Use only Nellcor® VetSat® veterinary oxygen transducer (sensor and clips). Use of other oxygen transducers may cause improper oximeter performance. Monitors equipped with Nellcor oximetry will have the Nellcor OxiMax® logo next to the SpO

2

connector. For more information, refer to the Directions for Use pamphlet included with each Nellcor VetSat sensor.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

NOTE:

Reusable sensors may be used on the same site for a maximum of four (4) hours, provided the site is inspected routinely to ensure skin integrity and correct positioning. Because individual skin condition affects the ability of the skin to tolerate sensor placement, it may be necessary to change the sensor site more frequently with some patients.

1)

2)

3)

4)

Select a sensor and clip that is appropriate for the patient. There are two (2) sizes of

VetSat veterinary sensor clips: model VSC-S (small), and model VSC-L (large).

Clean the VetSat sensor and sensor clip separately before and after each use. Refer to

Page 87, CLEANING for more information.

Open the clip by pressing with the thumb and forefinger.

Slide one of the sensor’s alignment buttons along the clip slot until the sensor pad is fully engaged in the clip.

5) Slide the second sensor button along the other clip slot until the second sensor pad is fully engaged in its side of the clip.

NOTE:

Check that the VetSat optical sensor pads are facing each other directly.

6) The sensor is now ready to be applied to the patient. The preferred sensor application site for canine, feline and equine animals is on the tongue, with the sensor’s optical components positioned on the center of the tongue. Alternatively, the sensor and clip may be applied to the animal’s lip, toe, ear, prepuce, or vulva.

NOTE:

If the sensor does not track the pulse reliably, it may be incorrectly positioned-or the sensor site may be too thick, thin, or deeply pigmented to permit appropriate light transmission. If any of these situations occurs, reposition the sensor or try another sensor site. If the sensor site is one that is covered with fur, try shaving the site and reapplying the sensor.

7) Be sure that the sensor cable is positioned along the side of the animal’s face and body to avoid entanglement with the animal.

WARNING:

Do not use supplemental tape to adhere the clip and sensor directly to the site; this can restrict blood flow and cause inaccurate measurements. For best results, secure the sensor cable independently from the sensor.

8) Connect the sensor assembly to the Interface Cable: a) Place the plastic hinged cover in the unlocked position (perpendicular to the connector). b) Connect the sensor assembly to the Interface Cable. c) Lock the plastic hinged cover to prevent accidental cable disconnection.

Figure 5:

Sensor to Interface Cable

9) Plug the Interface Cable into the SpO

2

connector on the side panel of the monitor. The connector is shaped like a “D”. Line up the “D” on the Interface Cable with the “D” on the receptacle. Push the cable in until you hear an audible “click”.

10) Press the ON/STANDBY pushbutton to turn “ON” the monitor.

11) Verify that the sensor is properly positioned by observing at least ten seconds of continuous green blinking of the signal strength bar (perfusion LED). Should the perfusion light be at a low level, reposition the sensor or try a different sensor. If normal operation cannot be achieved, call a Midmark representative for assistance.

12) Check the Alarm Limits and configure them appropriately for the patient. Refer to Page

MANUAL MODE FOR BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION

Select the appropriate sized cuff for the patient being monitored. Refer to Section 5, BLOOD

PRESSURE MONITORING for more information.

Connect the cuff to the end of the monitor tubing. Connect the monitor tubing to the NIBP connector, located on the left side of the monitor.

The default Initial Inflation Pressure is 150 mmHg. To select an alternate Initial Inflation

Pressure, press either the ARROW UP or the ARROW DOWN pushbutton.

IMPORTANT:

Excessive patient motion can contribute to inaccurate measurements. It is important that the animal be kept still during a measurement. Make every attempt to alleviate fear, anxiety and pain. Stroking the animal before and during the measurement or having the animal held by the owner may be helpful.

Since fear and anxiety may affect the blood pressure, it is advisable to take at least three measurements to allow the animal to relax. Taking five measurements will allow you to discard the upper and lower values and average the middle three.

Press the START pushbutton to begin a measurement. For the first measurement the monitor will inflate to the default setting or the Initial Inflation Pressure selected.

NOTE:

When the monitor is configured in the Alarms Off mode, the message “Alrm Off” is displayed in the Message Window, the cuff inflation pressure will always be set to 150 mmHg. Also, as an example, if the Initial Inflation Pressure was set to 100 mmHg, the first NIBP inflation pressure would be 100 mmHg followed by pressures at 150 mmHg.

The monitor’s front panel NIBP displays will indicate all dashes “- -“ while the measurement is in progress and the Message Window displays the Inflation Pressure in the format “Meas XXX”, where “XXX” is the pressure value. For subsequent measurements, the monitor will inflate approximately 30 mmHg higher than the previously determined Systolic pressure.

The measurement typically takes less than 30 seconds to complete. In no case will the cuff remain pressurized for more than 150 seconds.

When the measurement is completed, the cuff will automatically deflate and the monitor will display the Systolic, Diastolic, MAP (if enabled), and Pulse Rate values on the front panel displays. The Message Window displays a time stamp of the NIBP measurement in the format

“BP HH:MM”. Where “HH” is the hour and “MM” is the minute of the measurement taken.

NOTE:

If SpO

2

is active, the Pulse Rate value will be determined from the SpO

2

measurement.

Press the CANCEL pushbutton, at any time, to stop a measurement and deflate the cuff during the measurement process. The monitor’s front panel NIBP displays will indicate all dashes “- -“ and the Message Window returns to “Ready”.

The CANCEL pushbutton can be pressed after a measurement is taken to clear the current reading from the displays. The monitor’s front panel NIBP displays will indicate all dashes “- -“ and the Message Window returns to “Ready”.

NOTE:

If any displayed NIBP measurement were to be left on the display for up to twenty-four (24) hours, the monitor will automatically blank the displays to all dashes “- -“ and the Message

Window returns to “Ready”.

AUTOMATIC CYCLE FOR BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION

The CARDELL Monitor can automatically take blood pressure measurements at pre-selected time intervals.

To choose a time interval, press the CYCLE TIME pushbutton. The Message Window displays the format “Auto XX”. Where “XX” is the time interval in minutes.

Choose the time interval using one of the following methods:

Press the CYCLE TIME pushbutton to advance through the available time intervals.

Press the ARROW UP or ARROW DOWN pushbutton keys to advance forward or backwards through the available time intervals.

Once a time interval has been selected, press the START pushbutton to begin the first measurement.

Between each measurement, the Message Window will display the time remaining until the next measurement, as well as the cycle time chosen in the format "MM:SS CC" where “MM” is the minutes, “SS” is the seconds and “CC” is the cycle time selected.

The measurement results are displayed on the front panel until the start of the next measurement cycle.

NOTE:

If a measurement is desired between measurement cycles, press the START pushbutton. After this measurement, the monitor will re-enter the Automatic Cycle mode and countdown to the next measurement based on the Cycle time selected.

In the Automatic Mode, while during a measurement or in the idle time between measurements, pressing the CANCEL pushbutton will cause the monitor to exit the Automatic mode and return to the Manual mode. The monitor’s front panel NIBP numeric displays will indicate the reading of the

previous

measurement taken and the Message Window will display the time stamp of that reading.

STAT MODE

WARNING:

Readings obtained during STAT mode may not meet the stated accuracy of this monitor.

WARNING:

In some cases, rapid, prolonged cycling of an oscillometric, noninvasive blood pressure monitor cuff has been associated with ischemia. Apply the oscillometric cuff appropriately, according to instructions, and check the cuff site and cuffed extremity regularly when blood pressure is measured at frequent intervals or over extended periods of time.

The CARDELL Monitor can automatically take a series of blood pressure measurements for a five (5) minute interval with a brief (approx. ten (10) second) pause between determinations to allow venous blood return.

Press and hold the START/STAT pushbutton for two (2) seconds to activate this feature. The

Message Window will display "STAT XXX", where “XXX” is the real time cuff pressure. Between readings the Message Window will display "0:XX S" where “XX” is the 10-second count down until the next measurement.

After five (5) minutes of determinations the monitor will stop taking measurements and exit the

STAT mode. The monitor will return to the Manual mode and the Message Window will return to the "Ready" message.

In the STAT Mode, while during a measurement or in the idle time between measurements, pressing the CANCEL pushbutton will cause the monitor to exit the STAT mode and return to the Manual mode. The monitor’s front panel NIBP numeric displays will indicate the reading of the previous measurement taken and the Message Window will display the time stamp of that reading.

NOTE:

Pressing the CYCLE pushbutton during the Manual, Automatic or STAT Modes will terminate the current NIBP measurement (if active) and place the monitor in the Automatic Cycle mode. The user will then be allowed to alter the Cycle time, if necessary, and begin a new NIBP measurement.

WARNING:

When monitoring over an extended period of time, or at frequent intervals, periodically observe the patient’s limb to make sure that the circulation is not impaired for a prolonged period of time.

BATTERY POWER

The CARDELL Monitor is equipped with an internal rechargeable battery. The battery is charging whenever the monitor is plugged into the AC wall outlet. A Battery Power Visual

Indicator, located on the front panel, indicates the status condition of the monitor’s battery.

Batteries will self-discharge when they are not used. It is recommended that the battery be maintained at full charge by leaving the monitor connected to the AC wall outlet whenever possible.

The standard 7.2 Volt 3700 mAhr battery pack, when fully charged, is capable of taking 100

NIBP readings when the monitor is in the 5-minute Automatic Mode.

When the message "Low Batt" appears in the Message Window, at least thirty (30) minutes of battery operation remain. The "Low Batt" message will alternate continuously with the “Ready” message to indicate that the battery should be charged as soon as possible. Also, the monitor’s front panel Battery Power Visual Indicator will change from Orange to Red and three (3) audio

“beeps” are heard every twenty-five (25) seconds.

WARNING:

Upon the detection of a Low Battery condition and if the battery is not charged by the user, the monitor may no longer function as intended. The monitor should be plugged into an AC wall outlet as soon as possible and the battery allowed to charge for four (4) hours.

When the "Dead Bat" message appears, the battery is no longer able to power a measurement.

The message "Dead Bat" is displayed continuously in the Message Window, the Battery Power

Visual Indicator is colored Red and three (3) audio “beeps” followed by two (2) audio “beeps” once every ten (10) seconds are heard until the power is turned off.

WARNING:

Upon the detection of a Dead Battery condition and if the monitor is not turned off by the user, the monitor shuts down and turns “OFF” after three (3) minutes of operations.

When either of these messages appears, it is necessary to recharge the battery. A depleted battery may be fully recharged in four (4) hours. The monitor can be used to obtain measurements while the battery is charging.

NOTE:

Using the monitor while charging may lengthen the time to restore battery charge.

NOTE:

During charging of the battery, the case may feel warm to the touch.

The Diastolic pressure is the bottom (lower) number given in a reading. This number represents the amount of pressure present in the system between heartbeats.

NIBP

Non-Invasive Blood Pressure. Abbreviation used when a blood pressure reading is taken externally using a non-invasive procedure.

SpO

2

(%SpO

2

)

Abbreviation used when oxygen saturation level of the blood is measured with a pulse oximeter.

Systolic

The Systolic pressure is the upper (top) number given in a reading. This number represents the maximum pressure present in the artery.
