1. Recommended areas of use, operation concept

1.1. Brief description, main parameters
The defibrillator is an instrument serving for stopping the ventricular fibrillation, it is able to
change the electric operation of the heart, by applying a high energy impulse. In case of
ventricular tachycardia, the defibrillator is able to restore the normal operation, by applying
synchronous defibrillation. In case of sinus tachycardia, bradycardia or strong arrythmia, the
device is able to normalize the heart operation, in pacing mode.
With the adequate electrodes, it is possible to use the device, in case of heart operation, by the
impulse delivered directly to the heart.
Besides the energy delivery (defibrillation and pacing) the defibrillator can make ECG, and it
can measure some other physiological parameters (eg. HR, SPO2, NIBP).
In case of external (transcutaneous) defibrillation, the delivered energy can be 2-360 J in 15
steps, in case of internal defibrillation it can be 1-50 J, also in 15 steps.

In defibrillation mode the device performs STAR biphasic waveform, and in pacing mode it
performs rectangular current impulse.
1.1.1. STAR biphasic waveform
It has been prooved about the STAR biphasic waveform during clinical researches made
according to FDA guidelines, that it is one of the most effective waveforms for stopping
ventricular fibrillation.
STAR (BTE) biphasic waveform characteristics: the period of first phase is depending on
patient impedance, 3 11 ms, the period of second phase is fixed 3,2ms. The amplitude of the
signal depends on the set energy and on patient impedance.

1.2. Cases whereby the defibrillator can be used

In manual mode
Applying asynchronous shock for the treatment of ventricular fibrillation with the assistance
of external defibrillator paddles or pads or internal paddles.
Applying synchronized shock in case of atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia
(cardioversion), with the assistance of external defibrillator electrodes (pads/paddles).
ECG, HR, SpO2, NIBP monitoring.
Semi-automatic mode
The device assists the operator by voice and text (step by step) instructions appearing on the
display, in the device operation. The device automatically performs the necessary
operations, it charges the defibrillators energy, and it gives an instruction for the delivery
of shock.
Applying of asynchronous shock, in case of recognized fibrillating heart muscle (according to
AHA).
ECG, HR monitoring.

In pacing mode
External pacer, in demand and in fixed modes.
ECG, HR, SpO2, NIBP monitoring.
In ECG mode
ECG monitoring on 1, 3, 7, or 12 channels
HR, SpO2, NIBP monitoring

1.3. Electrodes, recommended setups

The defibrillator paddle electrode of the device can be transformed into pediatric or adult
electrodes by only a single rotation, the adhesive defibrillator electrodes and the internal
electrodes are available in adult and pediatric sizes as well.
The defibrillator can be used for adult and pediatric population. Its application is not
recommended for children under the age of 1. For children between the ages 1-8 and under
the weight of 25 kg, the application of 2 4 J/kg energy is recommended.

1.4. Environment of use

The CA360-B defibrillator was primarily made for hospital and clinical use, but it can also be
applied during surgeries and by general practitioners as well. In AED mode even a skilled
policeman or fireman can operate the device.
The device was made for continuous use, but because of the high energy, it must be
considered that any defibrillation with greater frequency than two shocks delivery/minute, is
only allowed for a short time.

1.5. Who are entitled to operate the defibrillator?

The CA360-B defibrillator in semi-automatic mode can be operated by non-professional
persons as well, as the defibrillator gives instructions to the operator. Even in such cases, it is
advisable that the device should be operated by a person, who has been trained for the use of
semi-automatic defibrillators.
In case of manual, synchronous and asynchronous defibrillation and in fixed and demand
pacing mode, the device can only be operated by a skilled person physician.

1.7. Special advantages of the Cardio-Aid 360-B device

100% adaptation of ERC 2010 BLS-AED recommendation

It supports the effort of minimizing CPR interruptions and unintended deliveries of shock,
which can cause the injury of the person performing resuscitation. With the defibrillator it
is possible to start charging before placing the paddle electrodes on the chest. In this case
there is no electric shock hazard, CPR can be continued. When placing the electrode on
the chest, charging is finished in quite a short time and the shock can be delivered.
According to the recommendation of ERC 2010 the first shock can be set to a minimum
level of 150 J.
In order to reach high efficiency, we set the energy of CA360-B in AED mode to 200200-270 J, this way most of the time the delivery of the first shock already stops the
fibrillation.

Data Update Period, Effect of Data Averaging, and Other Signal Processing:
OxiMax Algorithm

The advanced signal processing of the OxiMax

algorithm automatically extends the amount of data
required for measuring SpO2 and pulse rate
depending on the measurement conditions. During
normal measurement conditions in the Normal Mode,
the SpO2 averaging time is six (6) to seven (7)
seconds or approximately three (3) seconds in Fast
Mode. Equivalently, the typical pulse rate averaging
time is approximately five seconds, independent of
response mode.
The OxiMax algorithm automatically extends the
dynamic averaging time required beyond seven (7)
seconds during degraded or difficult measurement
conditions caused by low perfusion, signal artifact,
ambient light, electrocautery, other interference, or a
combination of these factors, which results in an
increase in the dynamic averaging beyond the
minimum as set by the response mode.
If the resulting dynamic averaging time exceeds 20
seconds for SpO2, the algorithm sets the pulse search
bit while continuing to update SpO2 and Pulse Rate
values every second.
As such measurement conditions extend, the amount
of data required may continue to increase. If the
dynamic averaging time reaches 40 seconds, and/or
50 seconds for pulse rate, a low priority alarm state
results: the algorithm sets the Pulse Timeout bit and
the module reports a zero saturation indicating a lossof-pulse condition which should result in an audible
alarm.

Response Mode

For systems featuring the Fast Mode (NELL-1,

NELL-2), this setting dictates the response time (two
(2) to four (4) seconds in Fast Mode and six (6) to
seven (7) seconds in Normal Mode) applied by the
OxiMax algorithm in its calculation of SpO2.
The OxiMax algorithms calculation of pulse rate is
unaffected by the response mode setting. The data
storage interval in the oximeters trend memory is
decreased automatically to two (2) seconds when the
oximeter is set to operate in the Fast Mode (the
storage interval is four (4) seconds in the Normal
Mode).

Test Considerations and Oximeter Accuracy

Functional Testers and Patient
Simulators

Some models of commercially available bench top

functional testers and patient simulators can be used
to verify the proper functionality of Nellcor pulse
oximeters, sensors, and cables. Reference the
individual testing device's operator's manual for the
procedures specific to the model of tester used.
While such devices may be useful for verifying that
the pulse oximeter sensor, cabling, and oximeter are
functional, they are incapable of providing the data
required to properly evaluate the accuracy of a
system's SpO2 measurements.
Fully evaluating the accuracy of the SpO2
measurements
requires,
at
a
minimum,
accommodating the wavelength characteristics of the
sensor and reproducing the complex optical
interaction of the sensor and the patients tissue.
These capabilities are beyond the scope of known
bench top testers.
SpO2 measurement accuracy can only be evaluated in
vivo by comparing pulse oximeter readings with
values traceable to SaO2 measurements obtained
from simultaneously sampled arterial blood using a
laboratory CO-oximeter.
Many functional testers and patient simulators have
been designed to interface with the pulse oximeter's
expected calibration curves and may be suitable for
use with Nellcor oximeters and/or sensors. Not all
such devices, however, are adapted for use with the
Nellcor OxiMax digital calibration system. While this
will not affect use of the simulator for verifying
system functionality, displayed SpO2 measurement
values may differ from the setting of the test device.
For a properly functioning oximeter, this difference
will be reproducible over time and from oximeter to
oximeter within the performance specifications of the
test device.

Accuracy with Low Perfusion

Reading accuracy in the presence of low perfusion

(detected IR pulse modulation amplitude between
0.03% and 1.5%) was validated using signals
supplied by a patient simulator. SpO2 and pulse rate
values were varied across the monitoring range over a
range of weak signal conditions and compared to the
known true saturation and pulse rate of the input
signals.

maintanance, assigments
4.1. Cleaning of the device
Warning!
Do not use any aggressive, acidic chemical for cleaning the device, even if they
are diluted. Do not use any surface damaging granular material or flammable
detergent. Do not sterilize the device and its accessories, only in case it figures in
the instructions of the accessory.
Clean the defibrillator and the cables with soft cloth or sponge, not with aggressive detergent.
During cleaning, make sure that no liquid should enter into the connectors of the device. Pay
special attention when cleaning the tube of the blood pressure measurement cuff, because if
any water gets into the tube, entering inside the device during the operation of the blood
pressure measurement device, it can damage the valve and the compressor.
For cleaning you can use alcoholic solution, ammonium solution with water, peroxide
solution or any non-aggressive domestic detergents dropped on a dampened sponge.

4.2. Regular and periodic maintenance

Continuously make sure that the device and its accessories should be clean and undamaged.
Gel and other materials sticked to it, must be cleaned off from the electrodes. The undamaged
status of the electrode cables (cable insulation, breaking) must be regularly checked.
The battery condition must be followed with attention, if the device indicates the running
down of battery, it must be connected to the mains, in order to be replaced.
After some years of operation the battery capacity can reduce to that extent that it cannot
guarantee the operation conditions described in the technical data. In such cases the device
gives an alarm, the battery must be replaced. Battery replacement can only be carried out by a
skilled person.
Periodically (in 1-2 years) the main parameters of defibrillator must be checked and if needed
a calibration must be made. The calibration can only be made by a skilled service person with
adequate qualifications.
The continuous and reliable operation can be ensured by the allowance of a wake-up test. If
we set it, then the defibrillator will automatically turn on once in a day and it will carry out
some test examinations. Operation of the wake-up self-test is detailed in section no. Hiba! A
hivatkozsi forrs nem tallhat.. This test ensures a continuous check-up, in case of errors
or operation faults it will immediately give an alarm.
The expected lifetime of the device is 8 years.

Cardio-Aid 360-B Service Manual

4.3. Battery handling, maintenance

The CA360-B defibrillator works with 3000mAh, NiMH type battery. A fully charged battery
would allow minimum 4-hour monitoring, the delivery of 100 shocks at the energy of 270J or
2-hour pacing.
The battery capacity level can always be seen on the battery indicator, the explanation of the
indicator can be seen in the table of page Hiba! A knyvjelzC nem ltezik..
The defibrillator is equipped with an intelligent battery charger circuit, which carries out all
the battery related tasks, therefore the operator does not have to worry about it. If the battery
capacity level symbol on the screen indicates the low level of battery, then the defibrillator
must be connected to the mains power by a mains cable, by this way charging is started. The
charging process is shown by the battery charger LED (18) (see section no. 4.3): The device,
connected to the mains, indicates its charging capacity level by flashing signals.
In case of being completely charged, the LED is continuously enlighted. In case the device is
not connected to the mains, the light of the LED is off.
After being connected to the mains, the defibrillator still complies with all the safety
requirements, so it can be used without any restrictions.
The defibrillator, connected to the mains, is able to operate even with completely empty
battery or without battery as well.
Warning!
Even if the defibrillator is out of use, it still has to be connected to the mains, once
in every 3 month, to avoid complete run down of the battery.
The lifetime of the battery, in case of normal use, is minimum 2 years. During operation and
with time the battery capacity reduces, under a certain critical level the defibrillator indicates
the necessity of battery replacement.

5. CA 360 B - Dismantling
This section provides information about the dismantling and re-assembly
procedures for the CA 360 B.
The CA 360 B is dismantled in steps braking the unit down into its major
components.
Note!

The necessary precautions against Electro Static Discharge (ESD) must be

taken. This applies to all handling of electrical components as well as printed
circuit boards and all service involving dismantling the CA 360 B.

Note!

Before starting dismantle operation you have to shoot down the device,
disconnect power cable and wait at least 2 minutes. Before handling High
Voltage parts such as HV-capacitor, HV-circuit etc., ensure that there is no
voltage using a high voltage probe (1000:1). High-voltage parts are identified
with the Danger High-voltage symbol. Be very careful when connecting the
high voltage probe- avoid touching the terminals and use proper insulation If
voltage is present, leave the unit until the HV-capacitor is fully drained. If the
capacitor remains charged it can be discharged by connecting a drain resistor
e.g. 100kohm, 17W, directly over the HV capacitor terminals for min. 30 sec.
Be very cautious when connecting the resistor and use proper insulation. When
storing an HV-capacitor, always leave it in a short-circuit state. Re-assembling
the CA 360 B taking care that the various rubber seals are seated correctly.

Important

When ever an operation of dismantling and re-assembly of the CA 360 B is

carried out, a safety and performance check must be performed.
Tools needed:
Torx screwdriver kit.
Hexagon screwdriver kit
Phillips screwdriver kit.
