1. INTRODUCTION AND INTENDED USE
INTRODUCTION
The CARDELL Monitor is a multi parameter monitor measuring Heart Rate, Respiration, Blood
Pressure, Oxygen Saturation, Carbon Dioxide and Temperature. Heart Rate is measured by placing electrodes on either side of the chest that detect electrical changes produced by the heart. The same electrodes for heart rate detection are used to detect respiration through a process called impedance pneumography. Non-invasive blood pressure is measured using the oscillometric technique determining systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure. The pulse oximeter function continuously monitors and displays values for functional arterial hemoglobin saturation and a pulse rate. Capnography continuously monitors and displays the concentration of exhaled carbon dioxide (CO
2
). Temperature is obtained using a temperature thermistor probe that can be applied to sites such as esophageal or rectal.
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 heart rate
(BPM), respiration (BrPM), non-invasive blood pressure (systolic, diastolic and MAP pressure), end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO hemoglobin (%SpO
2
2
), respiration rate (RR), functional oxygen saturation of arterial
), pulse rate (PR) and temperature.
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 of nine (9) different languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish,
Portuguese or Norwegian. The monitor’s display 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 monitor’s display window also displays the operational mode of the monitor (Large or Small Cuff).

Veterinary Monitors
The ECG parameter is intended for three-lead or five-lead ECG monitoring.
The Respiration (RESP) parameter is intended to measure changes in electrical impedance caused by chest shape changes associated with inspiration and expiration.
The Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) parameter automatically inflates an occluding cuff and, using the oscillometric measurement technique, determines systolic and diastolic pressure and mean arterial pressure. 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 pulse rate numeric values are available for display. When selected as a waveform parameter, a pulsatile waveform is also available for display. When selected on the display as a numeric parameter, on each detected pulse, a bar graph gives the user a pulse-bypulse 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.
The Capnography parameter is a noninvasive method for continuously measuring the amount of
CO
2
during every breath, the amount of CO inhalation (FiCO
2 present at the end of exhalation (EtCO
2
) and during
2
) and the Respiratory Rate (RR). These parameters are useful to assess a patient’s ventilatory status. End Tidal and respiratory rate numeric values are available for display. When selected as a waveform parameter, a CO
2
waveform is also available for display.
When selected on the display as a numeric parameter, on each exhaled breath, a visual indicator provides a breath-by-breath indication of the patient’s breathing.
The Temperature parameter (TEMP) is intended to measure temperature using an attachable probe. The temperature value displayed can be viewed in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.

4. SAFETY MEASURES AND WARNINGS
WARNING:
The CARDELL monitors are intended for VETERINARY USE ONLY. Do not use on human patients.
The CARDELL Monitor is defibrillator proof. It may remain attached to the patient during defibrillation, but the readings may be inaccurate during use and less than ten (10) seconds thereafter.
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 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 9403 when the oximeter is not measuring the pulse properly. If the SpO
2
waveform, 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 SpO
2
waveform or 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.
When monitoring End Tidal CO
2
with non-flammable anesthetics (halothane, enflurane, isoflurane, sevoflurane and desflurane), connect the gas outlet from the monitor to a scavenger system.

APPLICATION – This monitor is not designed for direct cardiac connection.
CABLES – Route all cables away from the patient’s neck to avoid possible strangulation.
CONDUCTIVE CONNECTIONS – Avoid making any conductive connections to applied parts
(patient connection), which is likely to degrade safety.
CONDUCTIVE PARTS – Ensure that the conductive parts of the lead electrodes and associated connectors do not contact other conductive parts including earth.
CONNECTIONS – The correct way to connect a patient to the monitor is plug the electrode leads into the patient cable which in turn connects to the monitor. The monitor is connected to the wall socket by the power cord. Do not plug the electrode leads into the power cord, a wall socket, or an extension cord.
DEFIBRILLATION – Do not come in contact with patients during defibrillation. Serious injury or death could result.
DISPOSAL – Dispose of the packaging material, observing the applicable waste control regulations.
LEAKAGE CURRENT TEST – The interconnection of auxiliary equipment, including a patient monitor or other patient connected equipment, with this device may increase the total leakage current. When interfacing with other equipment, a test for leakage current must be performed by a qualified biomedical engineering personnel before using with patients. Serious injury or death could result if the leakage current exceeds applicable standards.
SITE REQUIREMENTS – For safety reasons, all connectors for patient cables and sensor leads are designed to prevent inadvertent disconnection, should someone pull on them. Do not route cables in a way that they may present a stumbling hazard. For devices installed above the patient, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent them from dropping on the patient.

CAUTION:
Before each use, make sure that the monitor default alarm settings are appropriate for the specific patient being monitored.
Pressing the front panel keyswitch with a sharp or pointed instrument may permanently damage the keyswitch. Press the keyswitch using only your finger.
Even though the ECG patient circuit is electrically isolated, it has not been designed for direct application on a patient’s heart.
A calibration check is recommended once every year.
As with any non-invasive oscillometric blood pressure monitor, the accuracy of the measurements obtained may be adversely affected by the presence of agents which alter the patient’s cardiovascular system.
Do not alter the monitor's air hose. CAS Medical Systems cannot ensure proper monitor performance if the tubing is altered. Modification of the air hose will void the warranty. Avoid compression or restriction of pressure tubes.
If the cuff is applied on a limb being used for oxygen saturation monitoring %SpO
2
results will be altered during each blood pressure measurement due to the occlusion of blood flow.
Inspect the monitor, air hose and sensors for any damage prior to operation. If any damage is noted, the monitor should not be used until it has been serviced. The monitor should be repaired only by personnel authorized to do so by CAS Medical Systems, Inc.
Use only CAS Medical Systems approved accessories and sensors to preserve the integrity, accuracy and the electromagnetic compatibility of the monitor.
Consult a physician for interpretation of blood pressure measurements.
The oximeter is factory calibrated to determine the percentage of arterial oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin.
Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin may affect the accuracy of the measurement.
Cardiogreen and other intravascular dyes, depending on the concentration, may affect the accuracy of the oximeter measurement.

5. ECG AND RESPIRATION MONITORING
ECG MONITORING
The CARDELL Monitor records heart rate with electrode clips attached to the patient.
Electrodes detect signals caused by changes of electrical conduction in the heart during the cardiac cycle. Heart rate is computed on a beat-to-beat basis using the R-R interval of the QRS complex.
CAUTION:
Even though the ECG patient circuit is electrically isolated, it has not been designed for direct application on a patient’s heart.
POSITIONING ANESTHETIZED PATIENTS
For ECG monitoring during anesthesia, it is most important to position patients on the table for the procedure. If standard lead placement as described below is not possible, leads should be attached to the body where they will be least subject to movement and away from the surgical site. It is preferable to view an upright QRS complex for monitoring ECG. A heart base to apex lead arrangement will be best if the negative lead is placed at the base (point of right shoulder at thoracic inlet) and the positive lead at the apex (low on caudal left thorax). Standard right forelimb lead is negative and standard left hind leg is positive in lead two; so if these leads are properly placed and the machine is set to Lead II, an upright complex should be the result.
POSITIONING CONSCIOUS PATIENTS
Standard position for recording diagnostic ECG in dogs is right lateral recumbency. Diagnostic tracings can be obtained in cats in either right lateral or sternal position. Limbs should be perpendicular to the spine and parallel with their opposite member. In awake cats and dogs, it is best to have the patient held by a veterinary technician or veterinary assistant. One lead should be applied first to determine comfort level and adjustment made as needed. Then the other clamps can be placed in position. It is important that the patient be kept still. A moving patient may cause clips to saw into skin tissue leading to discomfort and change in position of electrodes.
LEAD ATTACHMENT
3-Lead
Leads should be attached just below the elbow on the front leg and just above the stifle on the hind leg. The following lead sequence should be applied for a 3 lead system: Right Foreleg
(RA-white); Left Foreleg (LA-black); Left Hind Leg (LL-red). Refer to Figure 2 and Table 2 for more information.

NOTE:
In order to pick up ECG and Respiration signals, the leads must not be placed on the animal’s legs, but on the left and right chest areas.

5-Lead
For a 5 lead system, four limb leads can be applied (RA, LA, RL, and LL) with the exploring lead
(brown) used for diagnostic purposes as needed. Otherwise, the exploring lead may be left unplugged. Refer to Figure 3 and Table 3 for more information.
NOTE:
Do not use the 5-Lead Patient Cable for 3-Lead monitoring. A “Leads OFF” message will be displayed. Refer to Section 14, ACCESSORIES for the 3-Lead Patient Cable part number information.

V = brown (explore) C = white (common)
LEAD CONTACT
Sites where leads are attached to the body must be properly prepared to optimize contact. Dogs and cats have enough electrolyte material on their skin and hair so that merely moistening lead sites with 70% isopropyl alcohol is appropriate. This will usually be sufficient for ECG recording/monitoring for a short time, 30 to 60 minutes, depending upon the relative humidity.
For monitoring during longer periods, an electrode paste should be used. It is best to first wet the hair at the lead attachment site with alcohol; then place paste on the moistened hair and skin. It is important that the paste be in direct contact with skin. For patients with dense undercoat, rub paste with fingers to assure that it has made contact with skin. Crocodile clips are supplied with this monitor and they must open wide enough to firmly but gently grasp the skin.

5)
6)
Connect the round end of the ECG patient cable to the ECG/RESP connector on the side panel of the monitor.
Press the ON/STANDBY pushbutton to turn “ON” the monitor.
Check that the monitor is accurately detecting the heartbeat and respiration by watching the monitor to see that the heart and lung visual indicators flash with each heartbeat and breath. When the values have been determined, they will be displayed on the front panel respective as heart rate (HR) and respiration rate (RR).
If the heart and lung visual indicators do not correspond to the patient’s heart rate and/or respiration, reposition the electrode clips until the indicators flash in synch with the patient’s heartbeat and breathing. This will help to minimize false alarms.
NOTE:
Respiration monitoring, by default, is set to “OFF”. Should Respiration monitoring be required, the feature can be turned “ON”. Refer to Page 96, PARAMETERS MENU for the menu selection.
7) If required, refer to Page 96, PARAMETERS MENU and configure the appropriate waveform (s) to be viewed and printed.

RESPIRATION MONITORING
NOTE:
The Respiration parameter in the CARDELL monitor, by default, is set to OFF. Should
Respiration monitoring be required, the feature can be turned “ON”. Refer to Page 96,
PARAMETERS MENU for the menu selection.
The CARDELL Monitor determines respiration by impedance pneumography. Patient respiration is achieved by applying a low voltage, high frequency AC signal across the active left and right chest ECG leads (LA and RA). The monitor detects changes in thoracic impedance that occur as a result in chest movements. Impedance normally increases with inspiration and decreases with expiration.
Electrode placement is crucial to monitoring respiration by the impedance method. The sensitivity of the monitor and its ability to accurately detect respiration is greatly enhanced or impeded by the quality of the electrodes and electrode placement.
The following is a general procedure for respiratory monitoring:
1)
2)
3)
Check the skin area where the electrodes are to be placed.
Observe the patient to determine where the greatest breathing movement occurs on the chest.
The leadwires that attach to the electrode clips are color coded for ease of identification.
Refer to Table 2 for the lead color based on the lead set being used.
4)
5)
6)
7)
The third or ground electrode clip (LL) is placed on the thigh of either rear leg. The ground is a reference electrode allowing for better signal detection.
Once the electrode clips are in place and the leadwires attached, patient cables and leadwires must be kept away from the neck area to minimize entanglement and accidental strangulation.
Connect the leadwires to the ECG patient cable, matching the colored end of the leadwire to the corresponding dot on the cable.
Connect the round end of the ECG patient cable to the ECG/RESP connector on the side panel of the monitor.
Press the ON/STANDBY pushbutton to turn “ON” the monitor. 8)
9) Check that the monitor is accurately detecting the heartbeat and respiration by watching the monitor to see that the heart and lung visual indicators flash with each heartbeat and breath.
10) If the heart and lung visual indicators do not correspond to the patient’s heart rate and/or respiration, reposition the electrodes until the indicators flash in synch with the patient’s heartbeat and breathing. This will help to minimize false alarms.

6. 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 14, 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 7: 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.

Veterinary Monitors
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.

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 an assistant 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.
4) Press the START/CANCEL pushbutton to begin a measurement.
For the first measurement the monitor will inflate to the default setting or the Initial Inflation
Pressure selected.
Within the monitor’s front panel NIBP Numeric Area, the NIBP numeric displays (Systolic,
Diastolic and (MAP) or Pulse Rate ) will indicate all dashes “- - -“ while the measurement is in progress and the Inflation Pressure will be displayed in the format “Meas XXX”, where “XXX” is the pressure value.
NOTE:
The selection between (MAP) or Pulse Rate is made in the NIBP menu.
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, the monitor will provide an audio indication and display the NIBP values: Systolic/Diastolic and (MAP) or
Systolic/Diastolic and Pulse Rate .
Press the START/CANCEL pushbutton, at any time, to stop a measurement and deflate the cuff during the measurement process. The monitor’s front panel NIBP numeric displays will indicate all dashes “- - -“.
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 NIBP displays to all dashes “- - -“.

BLOOD PRESSURE REFERENCE VALUES
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.
Normal feline blood pressure: 124/84
Other investigators have reported comparable reference values:

CANINE NORMAL VALUES
The normal values for dogs are breed-specific. Those for Golden Retrievers, Labradors and giant breeds tend to be lower than the overall average, and those for greyhounds and in general racing hounds tend to be higher. The table that follows lists the normal values for common dog breeds using oscillometric blood pressure monitors.
Average canine blood pressure: 133/75
This figure was calculated as the mean of 1782 oscillometric measurement in clinically healthy dogs of different breeds. The overall average is therefore serves as a point of reference only.
The individual, or at least breed-specific value must be known to most accurately determine whether a given patient’s blood pressure deviates from normal.

7. PULSE OXIMETRY MONITORING
(Model 9403 and 9405)
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 are used to determine Arterial Saturation (%SpO
2
) and
Pulse Rate (PR).
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 139, 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 10: Sensor to Interface Cable
Next
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 a continuous pleth waveform being displayed across the screen. When a valid signal is detected, the monitor displays the %SpO
2
and Pulse Rate values. 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) If required, refer to Page 96, PARAMETERS MENU and configure the appropriate waveform (s) to be viewed and printed.
13) Check the Alarm Limits and configure them appropriately for the patient. Refer to Page
108, ALARM LIMIT VALUES for more information.
14) If an audio “beep” is required based on the %SpO2, configure the Beep Source to
%SpO2 in the Audio/Visual menu and adjust the Beep Volume to the desired level.
Refer to Page 99, AUDIO/VISUAL MENU for more information.

SatSeconds™ ALARM MANAGEMENT
False or nuisance alarms are a common concern with pulse oximetry monitoring. Nuisance alarms are often triggered by minor and brief desaturation events that are clinically insignificant.
Clinicians tend to manage these alarms by ignoring them, turning off the alarm or monitor, or widening the alarm limits. The CARDELL Monitor incorporates Nellcor’s SatSeconds Alarm
Management feature that offers a better way to manage nuisance alarms without sacrificing patient safety.
The SatSeconds function can be activated from the Alarm Limits menu by selecting a
SatSeconds limit, or “clock” of 10, 25, 50, 100 or OFF SatSeconds. Clinicians who choose to employ the SatSeconds function should select a limit suited to their clinical environment and patient conditions. Think of SatSeconds as the product of magnitude and time a patient exceeds SpO
2
alarm limits. For example, 3 points below the alarm limit for 10 seconds equals
30 SatSeconds. An alarm is only triggered if a desaturation event occurs that reaches the
SatSeconds limit you selected. As a safety net, when three or more SpO
2
alarm violations occur within 60 seconds, an alarm will sound even if the SatSeconds limit has not been reached.
NOTE:
When SatSeconds is set to OFF, the monitor will immediately alarm for %SpO
2 based on the selection made in the Alarm Limits menu.

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 7.2 Volt 3700 mAhr battery pack, when fully charged, is capable of running the monitor for approximately four (4) hours.
NOTE:
Operating time on battery power is based on a Model 9403 monitor when the NIBP is set in the
5-Minute Automatic Mode.
BATTERY MESSAGES
When the message "Low Battery" appears in the Equipment Message Window section of the display, at least thirty (30) minutes of battery operation remain and the monitor’s battery pack should be charged as soon as possible.

16. APPENDIX
DEAD SPACE - Cause, Effect, & Control in Small Animal Anesthesia
Robert M. Stein, D.V.M.. DAAPM
Founder www.VASG.org
Dead space is an often misunderstood and overlooked aspect of veterinary anesthesia patient management. Dead space is always present as a component of the patient’s airway and, to a variable degree, as a component of the anesthetic system. Ignoring the harmful consequences of system dead space can lead to potentially fatal patient outcomes. This is especially worrisome when managing small patients.
There are three different types of dead space: anatomic, alveolar, and mechanical (equipment).
Dead space ventilation involves that component of the respiratory gases that does not participate in gas exchange. Simply said, there is no patient benefit from dead space ventilation.
If mechanical dead space volume equals or exceeds alveolar ventilation volume the patient will not be able to clear carbon dioxide at all. Ideally, your goal should be to minimize dead space through proper patient planning and to detect excess dead space consequences through endtidal CO2 monitoring.
Anatomic dead space is comprised of the upper airway structures that do not participate in gas exchange. This includes the gases in the nasal passages, nasopharynx, larynx, trachea, and in the larger airways. Alveolar dead space represents those alveoli that are ventilated with fresh gas but not perfused by the pulmonary circulation. Mechanical or equipment dead space is made up of any portion of the endotracheal tube extending beyond the patient’s incisors, patient monitor adaptors (ETCO2, apnea alert, etc.), any adaptors used to facilitate patient/system positioning (right-angle or swivel adaptors used to reduce the risk of tracheal trauma during patient rotation), the pace within a mask not occupied by the patient’s nose, humidification management exchangers (HME), and the “Y” piece (defined as the terminal end of an F circuit or noncircle system and the inhalation/exhalation hose connector in a circle system).
Exhausted soda lime or malfunctioning one-way valves can also contribute to increasing mechanical dead space. Dead space also increases in a non-rebreathing system when fresh gas flows are inadequate or when certain defects are present in the system (for instance, when the center tube of a Bain system or F circuit is cracked or broken). These dead space contributors can all be controlled through proper system inspection and maintenance.
Mechanical dead space gas is the first gas inhaled at the beginning of the each respiratory cycle. As the mechanical dead space volume increases, less fresh gas moves into the patient’s alveoli, limiting gas exchange.

The consequences of excessive mechanical dead space can be substantial and,
potentially, fatal. As dead space volume from any cause increases, effective alveolar ventilation decreases. In patients breathing 100% oxygen there may be negligible initial effect on arterial oxygen tension. Arterial CO2, however, can reach impressive levels. It is possible to have an end-tidal CO2 level greater than 110 mmHg in patients with a normal pulse oximeter reading.
Increased arterial CO2 causes: o
Respiratory o
Sympathetic o
Cardiac
A mix of sympathetic stimulation and hypoxemic effects o
Variable peripheral vasoconstriction (sympathetic effect) followed by peripheral vasodilation as a direct effect on peripheral vessels o
CNS depressant effect and, eventually narcosis
PaCO2 levels above 100 mmHg have an anesthetic effect o
Increased cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure o
Tachypnea and an increased work of breathing which can negatively impact a debilitated patient
Arterial O2 levels may eventually decrease enough to cause hypoxemia, especially in a patient breathing room air
Inadequate ventilation interferes with adjustments in anesthetic levels
Controlling mechanical dead space is a simple matter.
Mechanical dead space is most concerning for patients under 6 kg body weight o
Minimize the connectors attached to the endotracheal tube, particularly in small patients.
For example, in a 6 kg patient under anesthesia the patient’s alveolar ventilation volume would be 31.5 ml. Using a pediatric F circuit with adult
ETCO2 monitor and right angle adaptor (or apnea alert adaptor) could create 30 ml of mechanical dead space; effectively eliminating 95% of normal spontaneous alveolar ventilation.
Make sure you regularly inspect all anesthetic machines and systems paying particular attention to valve function and inner hose integrity
Make sure that the ET tube is not excessively long
Select your anesthetic system carefully o
Do hoses or a noncircle system
Using no more than one monitor adaptor o
Make sure it is a pediatric, low volume adaptor for smaller patients to avoid any significant impact on total mechanical dead space
Avoid the use of positional (right angle) adaptors in smaller patients
Avoid maintaining anesthesia with a facemask
Simply put, anesthetized patients should have their end-tidal CO2 monitored for maximal patient safety.
