SECTION 4 ECG Monitoring
A. INTRODUCTION
The LIFEWINDOW continuously monitors the ECG waveform and Heart Rate (HR) through a 3 / 5
Leads system. The screen displays up to six electrocardiogram lead vectors simultaneously, the Mean
Heart Rate, Heart Rate alarm limits, the QRS detected () indicator, Filters status, ST segment
readings, PVC counter readings and ECG alarm messages.
B. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
ECG Patient connections are electrically isolated Type CF . For ECG connections use insulated probes.
Dont let patient connections contact other conductive parts, including ground. See instructions for
patient connections in this manual.
This monitor is supplied with protected lead wires. Do not use cables and leads with unprotected lead
wires having exposed conductors at the cable end. Unprotected lead wires and cables may pose an
unreasonable risk of adverse health consequences or death.
Leakage current is limited internally by this monitor to less than 10 A. However, always consider
cumulative leakage current that can be caused by other equipment used on the patient at the same
time as this monitor.
To avoid the potential of electrosurgery burns at ECG monitoring sites, ensure proper connection of the
electrosurgery return circuit as described by manufacturers instructions. If improperly connected, some
electrosurgery units might allow energy to return through the electrodes.
CAUTION: Even though the ECG patient circuit is electrically isolated, it has not been designed for
direct application on a patients heart.
C. PATIENT CONNECTIONS
To ensure conformance with all safety and performance specifications, use only the
recommended accessories. These are available from DIGICARE with the following part number:
Use only high quality silver-chloride electrodes or equivalent which have a negligible offset
potential.
The ECG patient circuit and connections are electrically isolated type CF. The monitor is
protected against damage from defibrillator discharge. Do not let patient connections contact
other conductive parts including earth.
Leakage current is limited internally by this monitor to less than 10uA. However, always
consider additional leakage current that can be caused by other equipment used on the patient
at the same time as this monitor.
Avoid electro-surgery burns at monitoring sites by ensuring proper connection of the electro-
surgery return circuit. If improperly connected, some electro-surgery units might allow energy to
return through the electrodes.

Prepare the patients skin, attach the leads to the electrodes, place the electrodes in the three
(or five) correct locations, and plug the ECG cable into the monitor.
Thoroughly clean the patients skin at each place where an electrode will be attached.
Shave if necessary. Attach lead wires to the electrodes before applying them to the
patient.
Apply the electrodes to the patient as shown in the diagrams for 3 wire and 5 wire locations.
Press the adhesive inwards about 1.5 cm towards the center, being careful, NOT to actually
apply any direct pressure to the center section of the electrode. Any direct excessive pressure
applied to the center of these electrodes while attaching them could cause the conductive gel
to be dispensed away from the effective working area.
Support the ECG cable so it does not stress the electrode wires, the ECG cable connectors, or
electrodes. Ensure that conductive parts of the electrodes and their connectors do not contact
any other conductive parts, including earth.
Verify that the monitor is configured for the number of leads you are using.
V-Lead Placement The brown V-lead connector can be placed at one of six standard
locations:
V1 Right Sternal border, fourth intercostal space.
V2 Left sternal border, fourth intercostal space.

menu. The ECG scales options are:
-0.1 mV to +0.1 mV
-0.25 mV to +0.25 mV
-0.5 mV to +0.5 mV
-1 mV to +1 mV
-2 mV to +2 mV
-3 mV to +3 mV
-4 mV to +4 mV
-5 mV to +5 mV
-6 mV to +6 mV
G. 5 LEAD MODE
The LifeWindow ECG function default is 5 Lead Mode. It can be changed to 3 Lead Mode in the ECG
menu.
The 5 Lead Mode has two physical ECG channels and two operation modes:
In the 6 channels mode, Lead I, Lead II, Lead III, AVR, AVL and AVF waveforms are displayed
simultaneously. In this mode Lead V is not displayed as the two channels are selected to Leads I and II
and the other leads are derived from them.
In the 2 channels mode, Lead I, Lead II, Lead III, AVR, AVL, AVF and V can be selected in each
channel. The two ECG Lead selected waveforms are displayed simultaneously.
In 5 Lead Mode, pressing the ECG LEAD dedicated key in the front panel, changes the selected ECG
Lead waveform in the first trace, from I, II, III, AVR, AVL and AVF.
H. 3 LEAD MODE
To change the ECG function to 3 Lead Mode, touch the ECG menu and select 3 Lead Mode. On the 3
Lead Mode only one ECG channel is available and Lead selection options are Lead I, Lead II and Lead
III.
Pressing the ECG LEAD dedicated key in the front panel in the 3 Lead Mode, changes the selected
Lead in the sequence I, II and III.
I. ECG FILTER
The LifeWindow has two filters to decrease mains line and other interference.
The Mains Notch filter when ON, reduces the noise interference caused by the AC mains 50 or 60 Hz in
the ECG waveform.
The Mode Monitoring Filter can be set to: Diagnostic, Monitoring 1, Monitoring 2, Surgery and Strong
Filter. Both Filters are applied to both ECG channels simultaneously.
Diagnostic is the mode with less filtering. This is useful to improve the ECG waveform quality for
diagnostic purposes. In the diagnostic mode, the ECG electrodes good interface is more critical in order
to reduce the interference and noise in the signal.
Monitoring 1 (default) and Monitoring 2 cuts more the interference and noise, reduce the ECG
waveform high frequency components and are used for most of the monitoring applications.
Surgery and Strong Filter cuts more the interference and noise and reduce even more the ECG
waveform high frequency components. These modes of filtering shall be used in situations where high
level of noise and interference are being detected in the ECG waveform, created by electrosurgery and
other high frequency and high power equipments.
WARNING
In the DIAGNOSTIC mode the monitor provides non-processed real time waveforms. In the
MONITORING, SURGERY and STRONG filtering mode, the ECG waveforms may have slight
distortions and the result of the ST segment analysis and arrhythmia detection may be affected. Hence,
the DIAGNOSTIC mode is recommended when monitoring a patient in an environment with slight
interference and the use of ST segment analysis and arrhythmia detection is desired.
J. HEART RATE LIMITS

Heart Rate Limits are set by default to:
High Heart Rate Limit: 140 BPM.
Low Heart Rate Limit: 60 BPM.
Change the Heart Rate Limits in the ECG menu.

High Heart Rate Limit Range: 5 to 300 BPM or OFF - non overlaping.
Low Heart Rate Limit Range: 0 to 295 BPM or OFF - non overlaping.
The Alarm Limit values selected are stored by the unit after power-off. To return to the factory default
values, go to the SYSTEM menu and select the Load Factory Default Settings.
K. PACE MAKER

seconds. No Heart Rate count or BEEP are generated by the Test waveform function.
N. ECG PATIENT TYPE

Patient Type has three modes: Adult, Pediatric and Neonatal.
Adult mode sensitivity : 0.2 mV QRS amplitude.

Pediatric mode sensitivity : 0.2 mV QRS amplitude.
Neonatal mode sensitivity : 0.2 mV QRS amplitude.
Change the Patient Type direct in the main screen Patient Type Selector Indicator ( 49 ) or in the ECG
menu.
O. ECG INTERPRETATION
When analyzing the electrocardiogram the following parts of the P-QRS-T sequence are routinely
measured: P wave, P-R interval, QRS complex, S-T segment, T wave, and Q-T interval. Values are
determined for the duration (width) and amplitude (height) of the P wave, QRS complex, and T wave.
Values are determined for the duration (length) of the P-R interval, S-T segment, and Q-T interval.
P. ECG ST SEGMENT
The Lifewindow continuously measure and monitor the ECG segment ST in both ECG channels. The
ST segment is measured in mV (miliVolts) and is displayed in the ECG Indicators area.
Note: The ST ANALYSIS shall be used with the LifeWindow Mode Filter in the Diagnostic mode. The
Monitoring 1 mode also can be used, however the ST readings might be distorted by excessive filtering.
To enter in the ECG ST menu screen, touch the ECG menu and touch the ST & Arrhyt button.
The ST Analysis and Arrhythmia Detection Setup screen displays the ECG P-QRS-T event for both
channels, with indication for the Isoelectric reference point and for the ST measurement point.
The ISO point is the base point, used to indicate the baseline point of the ST analysis. The Indicator
ISO displays the time in ms (milliseconds) from the selected ISO point to the R wave (default is -53.340
ms).
The ST point is the ST measurement point. The Indicator ST displays the time in ms (milliseconds) from
the R wave to the ST point where it is being measured (default is 72.009 ms).
The two measurement points shall be checked by the operator and can be changed, specially if the
patient's HR or ECG morphology changes significantly. To change the ISO and ST measurement point,
use the mouse or touchscreen to click in the reference line (Isoelectric or ST) and drag the line to new
desired point in the ECG waveform and click in Set. To return the points to its original location click in
Def't (default).
As shown bellow, the peak of the R wave is the reference point for ST measurement. The ST
measurement value for a beat complex is equal to the vertical difference between the two
measurement points.
Both ECG channels displays the current ST measured value and the High and Low ST alarm limits.
The ST alarm limits range is from -2.00 to +2.00 mV in 0.1mV steps.

The default High ST alarm limit is +0.2mV
The default Low ST alarm limit is -0.2mV
To change the ST High and Low alarm limits use the up or down arrow in the ST Analysis and
Arrhythmia Detection Setup screen.
The ST Segment Analysis Can be turned-OFF and ON in the ST Analysis and Arrhythmia Detection
Setup screen.
In the LifeWindow equipped with the optional internal strip chart recorder, the ST Segment alarm can
be set to automatically trigger the printing of the ECG. This function can be turned ON and OFF in the T
Analysis and Arrhythmia Detection Setup.
Q. ECG ARRHYTHMIA DETECTION

The LifeWindow has an Arrhythmia Detection software that automatically interpret and detect some
arrhythmia. The ECG Filter Mode shall be selected to DIAGNOSTIC mode for better Arrhythmia
Detection performance.
When the ECG being detected is considered normal, the message NORMAL in green color is displayed
in the Arrhythmia Messages Indicator area.
The Arrhythmia Detection software Learn the ECG waveform every time the monitor is turned on and
the ECG waveform starts to be detected. This Learn process determines the Normal ECG waveform
pattern.
The ECG waveform Normal pattern can be Relearned at any moment by pressing the Relearn
button in the ST Analysis and Arrhythmia Detection Setup.
When an Arrhythmia is detected the corresponding Alarm message is displayed in Red and an audible
alarm is triggered.
Each Arrhythmia has its own counter that accumulates each individual arrhythmia totals.
All detected Arrhythmia are counted in the Arrhythmia event counter. To see the Arrhythmia event
counter, open the ECG menu and click on the ST & Arrhyt.
Each individual ECG arrhythmia can be set to automatically trigger the ECG printing in the optional
internal strip chart recorder.

SECTION 5 BIOIMPEDANCE RESPIRATION

A. OVERVIEW
The LifeWindow 6000 detects the Respiration by measuring the thoracic impedance. The
monitor measures the change of the impedance between the RA and LL electrodes of the ECG
lead II and produces a respiration waveform.
B. PATIENT CONNECTIONS
Since the same electrodes are used for ECG and respiration monitoring, the electrode
placement is very important. Some patients, due to their clinical condition, expand their chest
laterally, causing a negative intrathoracic pressure. In these cases it is better to place the two
electrodes used for respiration monitoring laterally in the right axillary and left lateral chest
areas, at the maximum point of the breathing movement, to optimize the respiratory waveform.
NOTE
Please use only the ECG cable with no resistance for RESP monitoring.

SECTION 7 CO2 MONITORING

A. OVERVIEW
The LifeWindow LW 6000 Patient Monitor has a plug and play CO2 technology, with Micro-
Flow sidestream CO2, MainFlow mainstream CO2 and Dual Capnography, designed
with sophisticated infrared absorption spectroscopy.
The Micro-Flow sidestream module can be assembled internally in the unit or it can be one
small and lightweight external module. The sample lines used are the same for both internal
and external Micro-Flow sidestream modules.
The MainFlow mainstream sensor is assembled in the air way adapter. The connection of
the MainFlow mainstream sensor is the same as the external Micro-Flow sidestream CO2
module.
The Dual Capnography is enabled by the interchangeability of the Micro-Flow sidestream

and MainFlow mainstream external sensors. The LifeWindow LW 6000 automatically
recognize what type of CO2 external sensor is connected and configures the CO2 function.
The LifeWindow LW 6000 with internal Micro-Flow sidestream module does not have the
connection for the external Micro-Flow sidestream and the MainFlow mainstream sensor.
SECTION 7.1 MAINSTREAM CO2 MONITORING

A. Principle of Operation
The LifeWindow LW 6000 MainFlow mainstream CO2 sensor is used for the continuous
measurement of CO2 and respiratory rate. The sensor measures CO2 by using the infrared
absorption technique. The principle is based on the fact that CO2 molecules absorb infrared
(IR) light energy of specific wavelengths, with the amount of energy absorbed being directly
related to the CO2 concentration. When an IR beam is passed through a gas sample
containing CO2, the electronic signal from the photodetector (which measures the remaining
light energy) is measured. This signal is then compared to the energy of the IR source and
adjusted to accurately reflect CO2 concentration in the sample. The MainFlow mainstream
CO2 sensors response to a known concentration of CO2 is stored at the factory in the
sensors memory. A reference channel accounts for optical changes in the sensor, allowing
the system to remain in calibration without user intervention.
The LifeWindow LW 6000 MainFlow mainstream CO2 sensor is designed specifically for
measurement of CO2 using sophisticated infrared absorption spectroscopy. With
mainstream, measurements are taken at the patients airway at a sampling frequency of 100
Hz, so response is faster and there is less chance of erroneous, artifact data. The analyzer
portion of the sensor cannot be contaminated with patient secretions, and there are no
pumping or pneumatic components to replace. So, maintenance requirements and overall
cost-of-ownership are minimized. The family of airway adapters are easy to use and durable
enough even for long-term ventilator patients.
B. Indications for Use

The MainFlow mainstream CO2 Sensor is to be used by a physician or licensed health care
professional trained in the use of the equipment.
The use of the MainFlow mainstream CO2 Sensor is contraindicated in patients where the
physician or licensed health care professional deems it invalidated by the nature of the
patient, procedure or equipment.
WARNINGS
Explosion Hazard: DO NOT use in the presence of flammable anesthetics. Use of the MainFlow
mainstream CO2 Sensor in such environment may present an explosion hazard.
Electrical Shock Hazard: Always disconnect the MainFlow CO2 Sensor before cleaning. Do NOT
use if it appears to have been damaged. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
Follow precautions for electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) to and from
other equipment.
Failure of Operation: If the MainFlow mainstream CO2 Sensor fails to respond as described in this
user guide; DO NOT use it until approved for use by qualified personnel.
DO NOT position the sensor cables or tubing in any manner that may cause entanglement or
strangulation. Support the mainstream CO2 airway adapter to prevent stress on the ET tube.
Reuse, disassembly, cleaning, disinfecting or sterilizing the single patient use CO2 airway adapters may
compromise functionality and system performance leading to a user or patient hazard. Performance is
not guaranteed if an item labeled as single patient use is reused.
Inspect the CO2 airway adapters for damage prior to use. DO NOT use the CO2 airway adapters if they
appear to be damaged or broken.
Replace the CO2 airway adapters if excessive secretions are observed.
If the CO2 waveform (Capnogram) appears abnormal, inspect the CO2 airway adapters and replace if
needed.
Monitor the CO2 waveform (Capnogram) for elevated baseline. Elevated baseline can be caused by
sensor or patient problems.
Periodically check the MainFlow CO2 sensor and tubing for excessive moisture or secretion buildup.
While using the MainFlow CO2 sensor, a system leak, such as that caused by an uncuffed
Endotracheal tube or a damaged MainFlow CO2 sensor may significantly effect flow-related readings.
These include flow, volume, pressure and other respiratory parameters.
Do not operate the MainFlow CO2 Sensor when it is wet or has exterior condensation.

adapter kit if necessary.
Insert the sample cell into the sample cell receptacle as shown in the figure 1. A click will be
heard when properly inserted.
Perform a sample cell zero if prompted by the LifeWindow LW 6000.
Place the on-airway adapter at the proximal end of the airway circuit between the elbow
and the ventilator circuit wye.
Check that connections have been made correctly by verifying the presence of a proper
capnogram on the Patient Monitor.
Figure 3
CAUTION: Always insert the Sample Cell of the Sample line into the Sample Cell
Receptacle on the MicroFlow CO2 sidestream module before inserting the on-airway
adapter into the ventilator circuit. Failure to follow this, may introduce a leak in the circuit,
thereby reducing set minute volume.
CAUTION: Remove the MicroFlow sample cell from the receptacle when not in use.
NOTE: Do not place the on-airway adapter between the ET tube and the elbow as this may
allow patient secretions to accumulate in the adapter. If pooling does occur, the on-airway
adapter may be removed from the circuit, rinsed with water (or sterile water) and reinserted
into the circuit. If rinsed, make sure that no water has entered the sampling tubing. If so, blow
out water or replace the sample line. To prevent moisture from draining into the on-airway
adapter kit tubing, always place the on-airway adapter tubing in an up position (see Figure 3).
6 CHECK SAMPLE LINE MESSAGE

The sample flow rate of the MicroFlow CO2 sidestream module is continually monitored. If
the flow rate falls outside the nominal operating range and continues for 15 seconds, the
message Check Sample Line will be displayed. The pump will shut off after 2 minutes if the
condition that caused this change is not corrected.
7 CONDITIONS THAT CAN CAUSE A CHANGE IN FLOW RATE

Water, mucous or other patient contaminate has entered the sample tubing.
The sample tubing is crimped or pinched so that the sample flow rate has decreased.
The exhaust port of the MicroFlow CO2 sidestream module is obstructed.
The sample line is damaged.
The sample line has been cut, or split, causing the flow rate to increase.
8 CLEARING THE CHECK SAMPLE LINE MESSAGE

When the Check Sample Line message is displayed, the user should inspect the sample
line kit to verify that none of the conditions described above are present. Replace with a
new sample kit if needed.
If the user removes the sample cell for inspection and then reinserts the sample cell without
correcting the condition, the Check Sample Line message will reappear.
The user should verify that the exhaust port is not obstructed or blocked. If tubing is
connected to the exhaust port, the user should also inspect the tubing for any crimping or
pinching.
The Check Sample Line message will clear and the sample pump will not be turned off if
the condition that caused the flow rate change is corrected within 2 minutes.
The Check Sample Line message will clear if the sample cell is removed or if the
LifeWindow LW 6000 is reset.

4 CO2 SENSOR ACCURACY CHECK

The MicroFlow CO2 sidestream is a rugged, solid-state, sidestream module. It is factory
calibrated and does not require further calibration.. The only calibration required is the Zero
Calibration , witch does not require any special setup, as explained before.
In applications where it is required to perform a routine Accuracy check, the MicroFlow

CO2 sidestream module shall be compared against calibration gas every 12 months.
SECTION 8 - NIBP MONITORING

A. CUFF SELECTION AND PLACEMENT
The use of properly designed and sized cuffs is essential for the accurate non-invasive
measurement of blood pressure.
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.
NOTE: Avoid compression or restriction of the NIBP Inflation Hose. The hose must not be
kinked or pinched.
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 SpO2 monitoring.
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.
The correct selection of cuff size have a significant influence measurement accuracy. A cuff
that is too narrow will produce artificially elevated readings, while a cuff that is too wide will
produce spuriously low values.
The monitor comes standard with six different sizes of cuffs. They are marked to aid in proper
cuff selection. When a cuff is wrapped around a site, its index edge should be in the range
indicated on the cuff. The cuff is too small or too large if the index edge is outside the range.
Arm
Locate the cuff as you would to do an auscultatory blood pressure. Place the cuff around the
patients upper arm with the bottom edge of the cuff at least one inch above the inner aspect of
the arm. As the cuff is wrapped around the arm, be sure it fits snugly and evenly, and the
bladder of the cuff is over the brachial artery.
Thigh
Place the cuff around the patients thigh with the bottom edge of the cuff at least one inch above
the inner aspect of the knee. Be sure the cuff fits snugly and evenly, and the bladder of the cuff
is over the popliteal artery.
Calf of Leg
Place the cuff around the calf of the leg with the top edge of the cuff at least one inch below the
inner aspect of the knee. Be sure the cuff fits snugly and evenly, and the bladder of the cuff is
over the popliteal artery.

button to start the STAT cycle. At the end of each cycle the SYSTOLIC, DIASTOLIC, MEAN
and Pulse values are displayed and the time to STAT total cycle finish is decremented in
display.
4 - ADULT / NEONATAL MODE SELECTION

The Mode (adult / neonatal) selection affects the NIBP operation. For Cuff sizes 1, 2, 3, 4 and
6 the NEONATAL mode should be selected. For Cuff sizes 5, 7 and 8, or larger, ADULT mode
should be selected.
5 - NIBP DETERMINATION
On the NIBP menu, select the NIBP mode (Manual, Auto or Stat) and the cycle time. Press
the Start button to Start a determination cycle. The pump will raise the pressure in the cuff to
a default level for the Mode (Adult or Neonatal) selected. The pressure in the cuff deflates in a
determined deflation rate Sensing the pressure oscillations in the cuff. If the Systolic
pressure is equal or higher than the start pressure, the pump inflates again to increase the
cuff pressure until it is higher than the systolic pressure. When the cuff pressure is lower than
the diastolic pressure, at the end of the measurement cycle, the pump fully deflates the cuff
and displays the Systolic, Diastolic and Mean Arterial Pressure values. The NIBP function is
motion tolerant.

D. TRIGGER SOURCE
The LifeWindow 6000 determine the Systolic (maximum amplitude) and Diastolic
(minimum amplitude) values based on a period of time generated by Trigger Pulses. The
default trigger pulses are generated by the IP board based on the systole slope of the Invasive
Pressure waveform.
For each systole detected, the IP board generates one Trigger Pulse and the Invasive
Pressure Pulse Indicator is displayed.
The CVP and other low frequency Invasive Pressure waveforms do not generate Trigger
Pulse, so the unit can not determine the Systolic and Diastolic values.

SECTION 11 FRACTION OF INSPIRED OXIGEN - FIO2

A. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The LifeWindow 6000 provides fast and accurate oxygen monitoring. It is designed to
monitor up to 100% oxygen concentration in medical gas mixtures. It is capable of rapidly
measuring the oxygen content of an atmosphere or environment.
The LifeWindow 6000 is intended to continuously measure and display the
Concentration of oxygen in a gas mixtures used in medical applications such as Anesthesia
and Respiratory therapy.
B. PATIENT CONNECTIONS
The LifeWindow 6000 uses one polarographyc oxygen sensor. Attached to the sensor
is a removable plastic diverter. This diverter is used to facilitate the transport of gas mixtures
through the sensor. The diverter, packaged separately when shipped, is necessary when the
tee adapter is used to sample gas flowing through a tube. The diverter is not necessary and
should not be used when the sensor is placed directly in a chamber, or when the sensor is
used in confined volume monitoring, such as incubators and inhalation tents.
1 - SENSOR INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT

Remove the new sensor from its protective bag. Inspect the sensor for damage or electrolyte
leakage. If the sensor is damaged, obtain a replacement. Do not use the defective sensor as it
may damage the unit.
WARNING: The sensor electrolyte is caustic. Do not let it come in contact with skin. If it does, flush
affected area with water. Do not attempt to open or repair the sensor.
WARNING: The sensor also contains lead. Leaking or exhausted sensors should be handled and
disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Connect one end of the FIO2 patient cable into the jack receptacle on the back end of sensor.
Connect the other end of the cable into the receptacle (17) located on the patient connections
panel of the unit.
Mounting the Sensor in the Tee Adapter
FiO2 Accessories
FIO2 Cell F001
FIO2 Cable F002
FIO2 T Adapter F003
C. CALIBRATION
The LifeWindow 6000 should be calibrated before each use and every 8 hours to
maintain maximum accuracy.
1 ONE POINT CALIBRATION

As with most oxygen analyzer(s) the highest level of accuracy is achieved when calibration is
conducted using 100% oxygen.
One Point Calibration procedure is used as a option when a 100% oxygen is not available.
After installing the flow diverter keep the oxygen sensor exposed to fresh air.
The actual FIO2 reading will be displayed and it should be close to the local atmospheric
oxygen content ( ex. 21% ).
Touch the FIO2 menu and select CAL 1 Point. The message: Are you sure you want to
make a 1 point calibration on FIO2? is displayed. Press Yes.
In the Low Point FIO2 Calibration screen, select the O2 concentration (default 21%). Make
sure the oxygen sensor is exposed to the selected O2 concentration and press enter to start
calibration. The FIO2 reading will change to the Value selected.
2 TWO POINT CALIBRATION

As with most oxygen analyzer(s) the highest level of accuracy is achieved when calibration is
conducted using Two Point Calibration with 100% oxygen.
After installing the flow diverter keep the oxygen sensor exposed to fresh air.
The actual FIO2 reading will be displayed and it should be close to the local atmospheric
oxygen content ( ex. 21% ).
Touch the FIO2 menu and select CAL 2 Point. The message: Are you sure you want to
make a 2 point calibration on FIO2? is displayed. Press Yes.
In the Low Point FIO2 Calibration screen, select the O2 concentration (default 21%). Make
sure the oxygen sensor is exposed to the selected O2 concentration.
Select in the High Point FIO2 Calibration screen the second calibration point (100% default).
Expose the oxygen sensor to the selected O2 concentration (default 100%) supply of pure dry
oxygen flowing at 1 2 liters per minute. Wait about 20 seconds to insure the sample line is
completely purged with the calibration gas and press Enter to calibrate.
Remove the sensor from the oxygen supply and confirm the FIO2 indicator reads less than
22% in room air.
It is important to perform the calibration carefully and thoroughly, using calibration gases that
are free from contaminates. Wait for a stable reading before locking in calibration point.
3 DEFAULT CALIBRATION
The Default Calibration procedure returns the FIO2 function calibration to factory default
calibration.
To return the FIO2 function to the factory default calibration touch the FIO2 menu and touch
the Cal Default button.
D. FIO2 MONITORING
The LifeWindow 6000 can be used to measure a gas mixture for oxygen in two basic
modes:
In the inhalation side of breathing circuit ahead of humidifiers and medicating devices or other
instances where gases are flowing to a patient in breathing circuits. When monitoring oxygen
in breathing circuits, the flow diverter must be used.
In confined volumes such as tents and hoods. In these applications the flow diverter must be
removed from the sensor so that it does not interfere with the rapid exchange of gases to and
from the sensing surface of the sensor.
CAUTION: Check the breathing circuit for leaks. Be certain that the circuit downstream of the
sensor does not produce any backpressure or restriction to flow. Errors in readings will result
if this is not followed.
Never install the sensor in a location that will expose the sensor to patients exhaled breath or
secretrions unless you intend to dispose of the sensor and flow adapter after use.
1 - GAS SAMPLING
1.1 - HUMIDITY
Humidity does not directly affect the accuracy of the sensor's measurement. However, when a
nebulizer or other device is used to increase moisture levels in gas mixtures, the moisture
actually dilutes the mixture. This dilution effect decreases the oxygen concentration. The
LifeWindow 6000 oxygen monitor accurately measures decreases in the oxygen
concentration due to the dilution effects of moisture added to gas mixtures.
As with all oxygen sensors, excessive condensation on the sensing surface will block the
diffusion of oxygen to the sensor, rendering it inoperative. We recommend installing the
sensor on the dry side of the breathing circuit at all times.
1.2 - TEMPERATURE
The oxygen sensor adjusts for ambient temperature changes in the range of 040C (32
106F). Since the thermistor that compensates for these changes is located in the rear of the
sensor assembly, it is important that gas mixtures, flowing over the front of the sensor, be at
room temperature. Reading errors may occur if hot gases from a heated humidifier are
directed past a sensor teed into a breathing circuit.
1.3 - PRESSURE
Virtually all gas sensors and monitors measure the partial pressure, not the percentage, of the
gas that they sense. The only time that these instruments can accurately read percentages is
when the total pressure does not vary over time between calibrations and use. For this reason
it is important to calibrate the LifeWindow 6000 oxygen sensor at regular intervals. It is
recommended that the unit be calibrated prior to each use or every 8 hours.
When the sensor is connected to a ventilator circuit, the alternating breathing pressure
cycles generated by the ventilator will be sensed as an increase in the oxygen percentage. In
reality, the percentage of oxygen is not changing; it is the total pressure that is increasing
producing a corresponding increase in the partial pressure of oxygen. A hundred centimeter of
water pressure pulse will produce a 0.11 atmosphere, or an 11% increase in the total and
therefore partial pressure of oxygen. The reading will rise proportionally less for smaller
pressures.
1.4 - ANESTHETIC GASES

When using the LifeWindow 6000 oxygen sensor in the presence of anesthetic gases
such as Isoflurane, the oxygen reading may fall (see Table below). The magnitude of this error
will depend upon the level of oxygen and the duration of exposure.
Halothane 4% < 1.5% O2
Enflurane 5% < 1.5% O2
Isoflurane 5% < 1.5% O2
Sevoflurane 5% < 1.5% O2
Desflurane 15% < 1.5% O2
Note: Errors are approximate and may vary based on exposure times and concentrations.
These performances meet or exceed the requirements of ISO 7767: 1997 (E).
Caution: The LifeWindow 6000 should not be used in the presence of flammable anesthetics
such as diethyl ether or cyclopropane.
2 - FIO2 ALARM LIMITS
