SECTION 1: SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1.1 Warnings, General
Carefully read all of the instructions and precautions described in operator’s manual
prior to clinical use of the Fusion™ Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Patient Monitor
System With Vital Signs Options (The Fusion System).
1.
The Fusion™ System should be placed on a firm flat surface or mounted on a pole or rolling
stand utilizing its integrated pole mount, assuring that the vents on the side and bottom
panels are free of obstructions.
2.
Fusion™ System sensors are not sterile devices and should not be sterilized. ETO or
autoclaving will damage sensors.
3.
Using the Fusion™ System in the presence of flammable anesthetics represents an explosion
hazard.
4.
The Fusion™ System is to be used only by trained medical personnel.
5.
Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet. To ensure reliable grounding, use only
receptacles marked “HOSPITAL ONLY” or “HOSPITAL GRADE.”
6.
The battery is normally discharged. Allow 8 to 10 hours to completely charge before using
the Fusion™ System in battery backup mode.
1.1.1 Warnings, Parameter Specific, Blood Pressure
1. Proper functioning of the Fusion™ System requires pulsatile radial artery blood flow. The
Fusion™ System cannot be used during cardiopulmonary bypass or cardiopulmonary
resuscitation when radial artery blood flow is absent. Fusion™ may not operate effectively
on patients experiencing tremors, arrhythmias or excessive movement.
2.
The sensor placement and associated extremity should be checked at least every four hours
for circulatory status and skin integrity when Fusion™ System is used over a prolonged
period of time, or if Fusion™ is used on patients with known peripheral vascular disease.
3.
Since the Fusion™ System blood pressure measurement intermittently compresses the radial
artery, it should be used with caution in patients with absent ulnar artery collateral
circulation. If an Allen’s test suggests that this is the case, the Fusion™ System NonInvasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) measurement should not be used in continual mode. If the
opposite arm has better ulnar collateral circulation, this arm should be used instead.
1.1.2 Warnings, Parameter Specific, Temperature Option
1. In the TYMPANIC mode, failing to seal the ear canal opening may result in lower
temperatures. If it is not possible to seal the opening, use the other ear or select an alternative
device and measurement site to obtain the temperature.

1.1.3 Warnings, Parameter Specific, Oximetry (SpO2) Option
1. When using the Nellcor® Durasensor® option, always change the sensor location every four
hours (or more often if indicated by circulatory status or skin integrity).
2. The Nellcor® Durasensor™ is for use on patients larger than 40 Kg.
1.2 Precautions and Limitations, General
1. The Fusion™ System may not operate effectively on patients experiencing tremors,
arrhythmias or excessive movement.
2.

•
•
If a Fusion™ System reading does not appear to correspond with other physiological
parameters:
Verify the patient’s physiological state visually and through the use of other monitoring
devices.
Check the patient’s body position to account for hydrostatic pressure differences (specific to
blood pressure).
Observe for motion or noise artifact.
Refer to the Operator’s Manual for the specific parameter in question.
Contact a Medwave® service representative.
1.2.1 Precautions and Limitations, Parameter Specific, Blood Pressure
1. When monitoring blood pressure the Fusion™ System is not intended for use on patients
during cardiopulmonary bypass.
2.
To reference central blood pressure the Fusion™ System blood pressure sensor must be at
heart level or the system must be adjusted (see section 4.4.2, Fig. 50 Sensor Height Screen)
to compensate for the height difference due to the effect that hydrostatic pressure creates.
The approximate rule is for every inch the blood pressure sensor is above heart level, 1.9
mmHg should be added to the reading. For every inch the blood pressure sensor is below
heart level, 1.9 mmHg should be subtracted from the reading.
1.2.2 Precautions and Limitations, Parameter Specific, Temperature
1. Although the Genius™ is ruggedly constructed, it is an optical instrument. For trouble-free
operation, handle carefully and do not drop.
2. Visually inspect the probe cover prior to taking a temperature. The probe cover membrane
should be smoothly stretched across the membrane rim with no holes or wrinkles.
3. In the TYMPANIC mode, failing to seal the ear canal opening may result in lower
temperatures. If it is not possible to seal the opening, use the other ear, or select an
alternative device and measurement site to obtain the temperature.
4. Accuracy is dependent on careful and proper use. Right-handed operators achieve better
accuracy in the patient’s right ear; left-handed operators in the patient’s left ear.
5. Ear-to-ear differences are not an indication of unit inaccuracy. Discrepancies are attributed
to placement “handedness,” asymmetry of ear structures, and blood flow. The incidence of
ear-to-ear discrepancies declines with operator experience. Always wait at least 2 minutes
before taking another temperature reading in the same ear.
6. Should the lens or black window on the tip of the probe become soiled, gently clean using a
lens wipe or lint-free swab. Lens should appear shiny and free of fingerprints and debris.

15.
Always use a new probe cover. Soiled covers affect accuracy. Use only FirstTemp Genius™
probe covers. The Genius is only calibrated for use with Genius probe covers. The Genius
probe cover reorder number is 480-0002.
When not in use, Genius should be protected by snapping it into the base unit on the
Fusion™ System for storage.
Genius should not be used on patients with ear drainage, blood, tears, saliva, cerebrospinal
fluid, vernix, ear wax plugs or other foreign body in the ear canal.
Mist tents can leave a wet film inside a patient’s ear, causing evaporative cooling. Unless
ears are covered, the Genius should not be used with patients in mist tents.
Patients with removable hearing aids should remove the device 10 minutes prior to ear
temperature assessment. Implanted hearing aids generally do not affect the ear temperature.
Pressure equalization (PE) or tympanostomy tubes will not compromise the measurement
accuracy. However, to assure patient comfort, one week should be allowed post-operatively
before using the Genius.
Patients assessed immediately after coming in from cold weather may exhibit lower ear
temperatures. A 10-minute wait is recommended for re-warming.
Excessive scarring of the eardrum can cause lowered temperature readings.
Earwax normally does not affect accuracy. However, cerumen plugs or impactions contain
debris, such as dirt and dead skin cells that can lower ear temperature measurements by
several tenths of a degree.
1.2.3 Precautions and Limitations, Parameter Specific, Oximetry (SpO2)
1. Do not sterilize by irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide. Such sterilization could damage the
sensor.
2. Failure to apply the DS-100A properly may cause incorrect measurements.
3. Using the DS-100A in the presence of bright lights may result in inaccurate measurements.
In such cases, cover the sensor site with an opaque material.
4. Reusable sensors must be moved to a new site at least every 4 hours. 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. If skin integrity changes, move
the sensor to another site.
5. Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring such as nail polish, dye, or pigmented
cream, may lead to inaccurate measurements.
6. The performance of the DS-100A is compromised by motion.
7. Do not apply tape to secure the sensor in place or to tape it shut; venous pulsations may lead
to inaccurate saturation measurements.
8. As with all medical equipment, carefully route cables to reduce the possibility of patient
entanglement or strangulation.
9. Do not use the DS-100A or other oximetry sensors during Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) scanning. Conducted current may cause burns. Also, the DS-100A may affect the
MRI image, and the MRI unit may affect the accuracy of oximetry measurements.
10. Do not alter or modify the DS-100A. Alterations or modifications may affect performance or
accuracy.

SECTION 2: INTRODUCTION
2.1 Intended Use
The Fusion™ Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitor is intended to be used on patients with wrist
circumference of 11cm – 22cm by trained medical personnel to continually monitor systolic, diastolic and
mean blood pressure and pulse rate.
The Fusion™ System module option of SpO2 is indicated for the continuous non-invasive monitoring of a
patient’s functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) by trained medical personnel.
The Fusion™ System module option of Genius™ Thermometry is indicated for the measuring of a
patient’s body temperature.
The Fusion™ System is a sensor based vital signs monitor that uses non-invasive sensors to measure blood
pressure, pulse rate, temperature and SpO2. This device is intended for use on patients by trained medical
personnel to continually monitor systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure as well as pulse rate with SpO2
and temperature as optional parameters. The information from this device is intended to guide clinicians in
the therapeutic management of their patients by providing accurate and frequently updated vital signs
information in a safe, non-invasive, easily obtained, and comfortable manner.
It should be recognized that this device is intended for use by competent, trained, healthcare providers who
will determine a diagnosis based on many factors, of which the Fusion™ System is one component.
Incorrect readings due to such things as motion artifact are expected to be disregarded by the practitioner.
The sensor locations for SpO2 and blood pressure and the associated extremity should be checked every
four hours for circulation and skin integrity when the Fusion™ System is used over a prolonged period of
time.
2.2 General Description
The basic Fusion™ System is a non-invasive blood pressure monitor that uses a pressure sensor placed
directly on top of the radial artery. This sensor is non-invasive and eliminates the need for an occlusive
inflatable blood pressure cuff. This device is intended for use on patients by trained medical personnel to
continually monitor systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure as well as pulse rate. The Fusion™ System
has a built in battery backup feature that provides uninterrupted operation for approximately three hours
while in the continual mode. The system has the capability to have expanded monitoring with temperature
and or SpO2 parameters optional.
The Fusion™ System uses a patented “sweep technique” for blood pressure monitoring that applies a
varying force on the radial artery. The counter-pressure in the artery produces a signal that is digitized and
used to calculate blood pressure parameters.
The sensor measures the pulse at the point of maximum energy transfer. Medwave’s proprietary algorithms
analyze the wave shapes. Parameters are extracted from the waveforms and a set of coefficients is applied
to them yielding systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressures approximately every 15 heart beats. These
algorithms have been tested and validated in clinical studies by synchronized comparisons to arterial line
blood pressure waveforms and values.
Patient blood pressures can be monitored by viewing the screen and entering limits into the Fusion™
System alarm menu. Patient measurements above or below the limits will be automatically brought to the
attention of the caregiver through visual and audible alarms. An NIBP START/STOP key provides the
operator with an option to cancel operation at anytime.
The Fusion™ System is delivered with the built in “V-Line Interface” that enables the blood pressure
parameters and arterial waveforms to be displayed on a larger systems based “host” patient monitor. It is
© 2006 Medwave, Inc.
Document #797-0076 Rev. B
02/2007
Page 11 of 66
compatible with any patient monitor that has an invasive arterial line blood pressure channel that provides a
transducer excitation (supply) voltage in the range of 4 to 8 volts DC.
General Description (continued)
The Fusion™ System V-Line Interface generates an analog signal that is interpreted by the Invasive Blood
Pressure (IBP) channel in the “host” patient monitor as if it were an arterial line pressure transducer signal
in the patient’s artery.
Your unit may also come equipped with the Nellcor® Oximetry and Durasensor® Adult Oxygen Sensor,
Model DS-100A. It is indicated for use when continuous non-invasive arterial oxygen saturation and
monitoring is required for patients weighing greater than 40 Kg.
Additionally your Fusion™ System may come equipped with the Kendall Genius tympanic thermometry
option. This allows the caregiver to take the patient’s temperature in the ear canal. Based on clinical studies
it has the ability to compensate for the average differences between its reading and those found when
measuring temperature orally, rectally or with a Swan-Ganz catheter. The Genius will adjust its reading to a
user selected equivalence based on statistical differences.
The Fusion™ System can come equipped with a built-in thermal printer. The printer can print data tables
for data retention and patient charting.

Placing the sensor (continued)
If the Fusion™ System is not providing a reading, the strap tension may need to be adjusted or the sensor
repositioned. (Refer to steps A-C of this section). Patient movement or motion artifact may also cause
missed readings; this will be noticeable on the elapsed time clock on the Waveform Trend Screen.
Note: The system requires the initial strap tension to be snug before it allows monitoring to begin.
The first reading may take up to 30 seconds. During this time it is especially important that the patient’s
wrist remain still.
When set in the CONTINUAL cycle mode, the Fusion™ System is designed to obtain and update accurate
blood pressure readings every 12-15 heart beats. Once the Fusion™ System begins displaying blood
pressure readings, you should see updated readings every 12-15 seconds. If the elapsed time display is
greater than 12-15 seconds you may need to check your sensor placement.
NOTE: Accurate and repeatable operation of the Fusion™ System is dependent upon the proper
preparation and placement of the sensor. It will tolerate some flexibility in placement. However, for the
best signal, placement needs to be over a hard surface, not where tissue is soft. Optimum sensor position
occurs when the sensor signal strength bar, which is located on the right hand side of the LCD display, is
at its maximum height, the readings are updating approximately every 15 seconds. Additionally, the
operator should observe the arterial waveform for consistency. If sensor placement is in question, these
parameters (arterial waveform consistency, sensor signal strength, elapsed time between readings, and
arterial waveform consistency) may be used as indications of sensor placement.
4.3 Display Screens
Note: When the Rotary Function Selector Indicator is in BP position.
Display modes: Repeatedly pressing the DISPLAY
key scrolls through four different screens:
• Waveform Trend Display Screen (See section 4.3.1)
• Table Trend Display Screen (See section 4.3.2)
• Graphical Reading Display Screen (See section 4.3.4)
• Real Time Display Screen (See section 4.3.3)

4.3.1 Waveform Trend Display Screen
This screen is the main monitoring screen for blood pressure. It shows the arterial waveform, elapsed time
from the previous reading, the current time, the cycle time setting, as well as pulse rate. Additionally this
display shows the sensor signal strength and sensor pressure and whether the blood pressure alarm is active
or muted.
Figure 45 Waveform Trend Display Screen
(00:08 Elapsed time since last displayed reading)
Scale Adjustment
For optimal viewing of the arterial waveform, the scale of the waveform trend screen may need adjustment.
This involves the use of two soft keys. Using the example in Fig. 45, pressing the soft key under “scale”
will increase the scale as indicated by the word up and the up arrow↑ If it is desired to decrease the scale,
you would press the soft key under the up arrow, it will change to down↓ and now pressing the scale soft
key will decrease the scale. Proper scaling for optimal viewing of the waveform can also be achieved
automatically. This is achieved by pressing the up↑/down↓ soft key until the display changes to Auto.
Up↑ allows you to move upward through the preset graduations for each press of the scale soft key.
Down↓ allows you to move downward through the preset graduations of 40 - 100 mmHg, 30 - 150 mmHg,
20 - 200 mmHg, and 0 - 300 mmHg for each press of the soft key.
Auto automatically scales the preset graduations upward when the arterial waveforms’ peak value exceeds
10% of the current scale graduation or downward when the arterial waveform’s peak value is 30% less than
the current scale.

The Table Trend Display Screen displays the patient’s systolic, diastolic, mean, and pulse rate in tabular
form. This screen is selected by toggling the display key.
SCAN FWD
Figure 46 Table Trend Display Screen
Allows the user to scroll forward in time.
SCAN BACK Allows the user to scroll back in time to view previous readings.
CLEAR
Erases all of the trend data, including waveform and graphical trend data. When
this option is selected, a confirmation notice is displayed with YES and NO
options. If YES, is chosen, the data is erased; if NO is chosen, you are taken back
to the trend screen.
The Fusion™ System will store up to 900 time-stamped blood pressure readings 100 SpO2 readings and 25
temperature readings if configured with these options. This allows the user to view readings that occurred
at any time in the patient’s treatment cycle. If more than 900 readings occur for a given patient, the oldest
data is replaced. The user also has the ability to print these readings if the optional thermal printer is
installed, or export the readings to a computer. (See sections 4.5.2, SERIAL COMMUNICATION AND
4.5.3, PRINTER FEATURE) This provides the caregiver flexibility in recording the blood pressure
readings into the patient chart.
Note: The Table Trend Display Screen contains no patient identification information so care should be
taken to clear the trend data between patients to eliminate the possibility of confusing the data.
4.3.3 Real Time Display Screen
The Real Time Display Screen displays the pressure signal as produced by the sweeping motor activity.
This signal is NOT the patient’s blood pressure waveform in mmHg. The pressure graphically
displayed is the amount of pressure being applied against the patient’s wrist.

Page 33 of 66
Real-Time Display Screen (continued)
The Fusion™ System uses a patented “sweep technique” for blood pressure monitoring that applies a
varying force on the radial artery. The counter-pressure in the artery produces a signal that is digitized and
used to calculate blood pressure parameters. The sensor measures the pulse at the point of maximum energy
transfer; Medwave’s proprietary algorithms analyze the wave shapes. Parameters are extracted from the
waveforms and a set of coefficients is applied to them yielding systolic, diastolic and mean pressures
approximately every 15 heart beats. These algorithms have been tested and validated in clinical studies by
synchronized comparisons to arterial line pressure waveforms.
4.3.4 Graphical Reading Display Screen
The Graphical Reading Display Screen displays the patient’s systolic, diastolic, mean, and pulse rate in
graphical forms over a selected period of time.

These screens give the clinician a quick overview of the patient’s pressure readings over time.
They illustrate clearly the trend of the patient’s pressures and pulse rate, allowing a rapid
assessment of the improvement or degradation of the patient over the course of monitoring.
Note: Clearing the table trend information also clears the graphical readings.

one-inch increments. Range is 1 through 12 inches.
INCH CM
Selects inches or centimeters as the height units.
OFF ON
Turns feature off or on. Default is OFF, height difference is set to zero.
Note: When the Sensor Height option is selected and in use, the Sensor Height
icon will appear on the left side of the waveform trend screen indicating that it is
active and displaying the sensor height setting.
Figure 51
Waveform Trend Screen with Sensor Height Icon
To reference central blood pressure the Fusion™ blood pressure sensor must be at heart level or the system
must be adjusted to compensate for the height difference due to the effect that hydrostatic pressure creates.
The approximate rule is for every inch the blood pressure sensor is above heart level, 1.9 mmHg should be
added to the reading. For every inch the blood pressure sensor is below heart level, 1.9 mmHg should be
subtracted from the reading. Adjusting the sensor height compensation correctly ensures accurate blood
pressure readings.

4.5.1 V-Line Interface Screen
V-Line interface port in the back side
of the unit is labeled with this symbol.
Figure 55 V-Line Interface Port
Set-Up
Note: The Fusion™ V-Line interface needs a host patient monitor with an available invasive blood
pressure channel which operates in a range of 4 - 8V DC. Check your Invasive Blood Pressure (IBP)
manufacturer’s manual for the channel’s excitation voltage range.
1.
You will need a host patient monitor with invasive blood pressure channel, an extension transducer
cable that is compatible to your host patient monitor’s IBP channel and the Fusion™ RJ11 cable
(included). These are typically unshielded extension transducer cables provided by your host IBP
patient monitoring company.
2.
Locate the pressure extension transducer cable that is compatible to your host patient monitor’s IBP
channel. You should confirm that the available end of that cable has a four-conductor (RJ11) phone
jack connector to connect to Fusion™ RJ11 cable (included). If you do not currently have this style
cable, contact your host patient monitoring company to purchase or contact Medwave.
3.
Connect the host monitor’s IBP exension transducer cable to the V-Line port via the RJ11 cable on the
rear of the Fusion™ monitor and insure it is connected properly to the host monitor. The Rotary
Function Selector needs to be in the Communication position. The screen below will be shown:

V-Line Interface Screen (continued)
Numeric scaling must be verified and the host monitor requires zeroing before utilizing the V-Line feature.
Each of the keys has a value (0, 50, 100, and 150) and once the key is pressed the corresponding value will
be sent to the host monitor.
4.
Press the soft key for 0 mmHg and zero the host monitor. The host monitor should show 0 mmHg in its
Invasive Blood Pressure (IBP) display, with accuracy being +/- 2.5 mmHg.
5.
Press the soft key for 50 mmHg and the host monitor should show 50 in its IBP display, with accuracy
being +/-the 2.5 mmHg.
6.
Press the soft key for 100 mmHg and the host monitor should show 100 in its IBP display, with
accuracy being +/-the 2.5 mmHg.
7.
Press the soft key for 150 mmHg and the host monitor should show 150 in its IBP display, with
accuracy being +/-the 2.5 mmHg.
This process ensures proper communication between Fusion™ System and the Host monitor.
Note: Fusion™ System sends the arterial waveform to the host monitor and the host monitor calculates
blood pressure from the waveform. You may observe a slight discrepancy between the Fusion™ blood
pressure readings and those calculated by the host monitor due to differences in algorithms.
Important
The arterial waveform sent to the host by Fusion™ System will appear to be continuous. It is not.
The waveform is replicated to ensure it does not cause nuisance alarms on the host monitor. The waveform
will not change until the next reading in approximately 15 seconds. However, if the signal is lost it will
immediately reflect on the host monitor.
Safety Considerations
Do not use the Fusion™ System V-Line interface Package if it has failed to scale from 0
mmHg to 150 mmHg during the initial set up. If the values displayed by the host monitor do
not correspond to the values being sent by the Fusion™ System V-Line Interface, readings may
be inaccurate and may affect the quality of monitoring.
To avoid risk of damage to the Fusion™ System V-Line interface RJ11 cable and/or to your IBP pressure
transducer cable, pull by RJ11 phone jack end rather than the cord when disconnecting it from the IBP
extension transducer cable.
Make sure the Fusion™ System RJ11 Cable, connected to your pressure transducer extension cable is
located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
Do not operate the Fusion™ System V-Line Interface with a damaged cord, jack, and/or plug, or if it has
received a sharp blow, been dropped, or has been damaged. Contact Medwave Customer Service at 800894-7601 or e-mail at [email protected] for any further questions.

4.5.2 Serial Communication
The Data communication port in the back side of the unit is labeled with this symbol.
With the rotary function selector set to the Communication Indicator, press the set-up key once. The Serial
Communication screen is used to download tabular data to a user supplied general purpose computer (such
as a personal computer) with an RS232 port. Blood pressure readings are directed to the data port from the
trend history table when the PRINT NOW key is pressed. Pressing the mode soft key allows download of
optional parameters for SpO2 or temperature if equipped.
Serial Communication Screen
Figure 57 Printer Mode Screen
Hardware Requirements
The data port is an EIA-232 serial port (commonly referred to as RS232). A standard RS232 cable is
normally used, 9 pins at one end for the Fusion™ System, and whatever your computer needs at the other
end. A Null modem connector is usually not required when connecting to a personal computer such as an
IBM-PC.

NOTE: If the Genius probe is removed from its base, a probe cover is installed and then it is left
unused for more than 30 seconds (approximately), it enters a power-saving sleep mode. The
display will read “USE NEW COVER” even though one is installed. Press release button and
reinstall unused probe cover to take next temperature.
4.7.3 Tips on Technique
Although the technique for using the Genius is not as critical as with oral or rectal thermometry, the
following guidelines will improve the consistency and accuracy of measurement:
1.
If necessary, gently restrain the patient’s head movements while taking temperature.
2.
Insert probe tip into ear canal just far enough to seal opening. No additional pressure or tugging on
the ear is required.
3.
In infants, where the probe tip cannot enter the outer ear canal, seal outer opening with probe tip,
then gently press scan button.
4.
Remove probe as soon as triple beep is heard and display blinks DONE. Removal of the
thermometer from the ear before DONE is displayed may result in a low temperature reading.

4.7.4 Operating Controls
Mode Button
This is located on the underside of the probe and is used to select the TYMPANIC and TIMER modes.
Pressing and releasing the MODE button after installing a probe cover sequences the thermometer among
the modes. Pressing and holding MODE button allows for °C/°F conversion.
NOTE: If the MODE button does not respond, Genius is in its power-saving SLEEP mode. Press the
Release button and reinstall a probe cover, then press the MODE button.
Tympanic Mode – This is the primary mode of the Genius and is used to measure a temperature.
Timer Mode – Pressing the SCAN button when in timer mode starts a 15-second timer which may be used
in taking pulse rates. Simply press the SCAN button and simultaneously count heartbeats until a triple beep
is heard. Multiply by 4 to get heartbeats per minute. The timer may be interrupted by pressing the MODE
button. The Screen will return to tympanic mode upon completion of the timer cycle.
°C / °F Conversion – Pressing and holding the MODE button for 6-7 seconds will cause the displayed
temperature to convert from °C reading to °F reading or vice versa.
4.7.5 Special Features
Genius has a number of smart features to make clinical temperature taking easier and more accurate than
ever before. With its unique In-Service Menu System, Genius practically “in-services” itself using the
following operator prompt on the LCD display on the thermometer:
USE NEW COVER
Place a new disposable probe cover onto the probe. The SCAN button will not operate until this is done.
PRESS SCAN
Genius is ready to take a temperature. Press the SCAN button upon sealing the ear canal.
DONE
The temperature measurement is completed.
PRESS RELEASE
Press the RELEASE button to eject the probe cover. This must be done before you install a new probe
cover and take another temperature.
LOW ERROR

LOW BATTERY
The Genius will take approximately 5000 readings with a new fully charged battery installed. Genius has a
2-level low battery detection feature. At the first level, the LOW BATTERY is lit and approximately 100
more temperatures may be taken. Replace the battery as soon as it is practical to do so. At the second level,
the ERROR indicator is also lit and the Genius will not operate until the battery is replaced.
WAIT
The WAIT indicator will appear if you attempt to take successive temperatures in too short of a time
period. Wait briefly until the WAIT indicator disappears before taking another temperature.
The “down arrow” arrow is a warning indicating that the room temperature is below the ambient
temperature operating range low limit.
The “up arrow” is a warning indicating that the room temperature is above the ambient
temperature operating range high limit.
BATTERY REMOVAL
Located on the lower portion of the Genius probe are two philips screws. Loosen
philips screws, take great care when taking the cover off and replace the battery with a 9-volt battery. To
install cover and philips screws reverse process.
Figure 70 Battery Removal
4.7.6 Important Precautions
1. Although the Genius is ruggedly constructed, it is an optical instrument. For trouble-free
operation, handle carefully and do not drop.
2. Visually inspect the probe cover prior to taking a temperature. The probe cover membrane
should be smoothly stretched across the membrane rim with no holes or wrinkles.
3. Failing to seal the ear canal opening may result in lower temperatures. If it is not possible to
seal the opening, use the other ear, or select an alternative device and measurement site to
obtain the temperature.
4. Accuracy is dependent on careful and proper use. Right-handed operators achieve better
accuracy in the patient’s right ear; left-handed operators in the patient’s left ear.
5. Ear-to-ear differences are not an indication of unit inaccuracy. Discrepancies are attributed
to placement, “handedness,” asymmetry of ear structures, and blood flow. The incidence of
ear-to-ear discrepancies declines with operator experience. Always wait at least 2 minutes
before taking another temperature reading in the same ear.

Should the lens or black window on the tip of the probe become soiled, gently clean using a
lens wipe or lint-free swab. Lens should appear shiny and free of fingerprints and debris.
Always use a new probe cover. Soiled covers affect accuracy. Use only FirstTemp Genius
probe covers. The Genius is only calibrated for use with Genius probe covers. The Genius
probe cover reorder number is 480-0002.
When not in use, Genius should be protected by snapping it into the base unit on the
Fusion™ for storage.
Genius should not be used on patients with ear drainage, blood, tears, saliva, cerebrospinal
fluid, vernix, ear wax plugs or other foreign body in the ear canal.
Mist tents can leave a wet film inside a patient’s ear, causing evaporative cooling. Unless
ears are covered, the Genius should not be used with patients in mist tents.
Patients with removable hearing aids should remove the device 10 minutes prior to ear
temperature assessment. Implanted hearing aids generally do not affect the ear temperature.
Pressure equalization (PE) or tympanostomy tubes will not compromise the measurement
accuracy. However, to assure patient comfort, one week should be allowed post-operatively
before using the Genius.
Patients assessed immediately after coming in from cold weather may exhibit lower ear
temperatures. A 10-minute wait is recommended for rewarming.
Excessive scarring of the eardrum can cause lowered temperature readings.
Earwax normally does not affect accuracy. However, cerumen plugs or impactions contain
debris, such as dirt and dead skin cells that can lower ear temperature measurements by
several tenths of a degree.

4.8 Oximetry SpO2 (Optional)
4.8.1 Indications/Contraindications
The Nellcor® Durasensor® adult oxygen sensor, Model DS-100A, is indicated for use when continuous
noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation monitoring is required for patients weighing greater than 40 Kg.
The DS-100A is contraindicated for use on active patients or for prolonged use. It is not designed for longterm monitoring. It must be moved every 4 hours (or more often, if indicated by circulatory status and/or
skin integrity) and reapplied to a different site. If long-term monitoring is required, use an OXIMAX
oxygen sensor (MAX-A, MAX-AL, or MAX-N) or an Oxisensor II® sensor (D-25, D-25L, or N-25),
depending on patient age and size, and instrument compatibility.
4.8.2 Monitoring SpO2
Use this sensor only with Nellcor instruments and instruments containing Nellcor oximetry, or with
instruments licensed to use Nellcor sensors (Nellcor-compatible instruments). This sensor integrates
Nellcor OXIMAX® technology into its design. When connected to an OXIMAX-enabled instrument, this
sensor uses OXIMAX technology to provide additional advanced sensor performance features. Consult
Medwave® for compatibility of particular sensor models.
Reusable sensors may be used on the same site for a maximum of 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.

4.8.3 How to apply the DS-100A Finger Sensor
1. Place an index finger over the sensor window of the
DS-100A with the finger tip against the stop.
Figure 73 Finger Sensor
2.
If the fingernail is long, the nail tip will extend over the finger stop.
3.
Spread open the rear tabs of the sensor to provide even force over the length of the pads.
Check the position of the sensor. If an index finger cannot be positioned correctly, or is not
available, a smaller finger can be used, or use an OXIMAX or an Oxisensor II oxygen
sensor. Do not use the DS-100A on a thumb or toe or across a child’s hand or foot.
Note: When selecting a sensor site, priority should be given to an extremity free of an arterial catheter,
blood pressure cuff, or intravascular infusion line.
4.
Plug the Durasensor into the SpO2 Extension Cable.
The sensor should be oriented in such a way that
connector cable is positioned along the top of
the hand.
Figure 74 Finger Sensor
5.
Plug the SpO2 Extension Cable into the Fusion™
System SpO2 Cable Connector.
Figure 75 Fusion SpO2 Cable Connector
Note: If the sensor does not track the SpO2 reliably, it may be incorrectly positioned-or the sensor site may
be too thick, thin, or deeply pigmented, or otherwise deeply colored (for example, as a result of externally
applied coloring such as nail polish, dye, or pigmented cream) to permit appropriate light transmission. If
any of these situations occurs, reposition the sensor or choose an alternate Nellcor sensor for use on a
different site.

4.8.4 Cleaning Procedures
The DS-100A may be surface-cleaned by wiping it with a solution such as 70% isopropyl alcohol. If lowlevel disinfection is required, use a 1:10 bleach solution. Do not use undiluted bleach (5%~5.25% sodium
hypochlorite) or any cleaning solution other than those recommended here because permanent damage to
the sensor could occur.
CAUTION: Do not expose connector pins to cleaning solution as this may damage the sensor.
To clean or disinfect the sensor:
1.
Saturate a clean, dry gauze pad with the cleaning solution. Wipe all surfaces of the sensor and cable
with this gauze pad.
2.
Saturate another clean, dry gauze pad with sterile or distilled water. Wipe all surfaces of the sensor
and cable with this gauze pad.
3.
Dry the sensor and cable by wiping all surfaces with a clean, dry gauze pad.
4.8.5 Important Precautions
1. Do not sterilize by irradiation, steam, or ethylene oxide. Such sterilization could damage the sensor.
2.
Failure to apply the DS-100A properly may cause incorrect measurements.
3.
Using the DS-100A in the presence of bright lights may result in inaccurate measurements. In such
cases, cover the sensor site with an opaque material.
4.
Reusable sensors must be moved to a new site at least every 4 hours. 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. If skin integrity changes, move the sensor to another
site.
5.
Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring such as nail polish, dye, or pigmented cream, may
lead to inaccurate measurements.
6.
The performance of the DS-100A is compromised by motion.
7.
Do not apply tape to secure the sensor in place or to tape it shut; venous pulsations may lead to
inaccurate saturation measurements.
8.
As with all medical equipment, carefully route cables to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement
or strangulation.
9.
Do not use the DS-100A or other oximetry sensors during MRI scanning. Conducted current may
cause burns. Also, the DS-100A may affect the MRI image, and the MRI unit may affect the
accuracy of oximetry measurements.
10. Do not alter or modify the DS-100A. Alterations or modifications may affect performance or
accuracy.

5.3 Performance Specifications
Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by an intraarterial blood pressure measurement device, within the limits prescribed by the American National
Standard, Electronic or automated sphygmomanometers. The proposed ANSI/AAMI SP10-2002 Standards
are: For systolic and diastolic pressures, treated separately, the mean difference of the paired measurements
of the test system and the comparison system shall be + or - 5 mmHg or less with a standard deviation of
8mmHg or less.
At minimum cycle time setting:
Determination Time*
Systolic
~ every 15 seconds
Range Min/Max
40 mmHg - 240 mmHg
Accuracy
(mean difference)**
±5 mmHg / SD 8 mmHg
Mean
~ every 15 seconds
30 mmHg - 200 mmHg
±5 mmHg / SD 8 mmHg
Diastolic
~ every 15 seconds
20 mmHg - 180 mmHg
±5 mmHg / SD 8 mmHg
Pulse Rate
~ every 15 seconds
40 bpm - 200 bpm
Trend
Updates following
each BP reading
± 5 bpm or 10%
Approximately 900
readings in tabular mode
*
Determination time will vary depending on the pulse rate. The minimum cycle (occurs at high pulse
rates) is 10 seconds. The minimum or “continual” cycle is 14 beats plus the time to retract the sensor,
plus the time to step from fully retracted to 50% of the previous valid mean pressure. In recovery
sweep mode (after power ON or a recoverable error) there is no step up and the default motor speed is
slow. Recovery sweeps, therefore, take somewhat longer (20 to 25 seconds generally). The cycle time
may be set by the user to be greater than the minimum. Refer to section 4.4.1, CYCLE TIME
SCREEN.
**
Pressure accuracy specifications are based on clinical data. The pressure range of this clinical data
was less than the range min/max specification.

6.2 Alarms and Warning Messages
Error messages will appear on the LCD display to alert the user of system errors. There are several system
alarms to alert the operator to abnormal conditions within the internal system or with a particular reading.
System alarms fall in one of two categories: 1) Recoverable and 2) Non-Recoverable errors.
6.2.1 Non-Recoverable Alarms
All non-recoverable errors will halt system operation and will require intervention by either the user or a
service technician to repair or adjust the unit to eliminate the malfunction. A screen error message will be
displayed giving specific details of the error.
An alternating ON-OFF alarm will sound in case of severe system hardware problems, until the unit’s
power is switched OFF.
Certain non-recoverable errors will cause the system to discontinue monitoring. In these cases, the user
may be able to remedy the cause of the error and then restart the monitoring process by pressing the NIBP
START/STOP key. Note that the system will automatically retract the sensor when monitoring is
discontinued, and as always during retraction, the keys are disabled. An audio alarm is emitted for these
types of errors.
Alarm Message
Cause
Remedy
“Adjust strap, then press start”
The pressure on the patient’s wrist is
measured by the sensor and is not in
the acceptable starting pressure
range.
Loosen or tighten the strap on the patient’s
wrist.
Verify presence of sensor in wrist piece.
MISSING OR DAMAGED SENSOR
OR PATIENT CABLE.
TURN OFF POWER, ATTACH SENSOR OR
PATIENT CABLE, THEN TURN POWER ON.
Sensor and/or Patient Cable is not
connected to the Fusion Monitor.
Verify that the patient cable is connected to the
Fusion monitor.
Verify the patient cable is completely inserted into the
patient cable connector on front panel.
Once you have corrected, power off the Fusion.
Power on the Fusion. Resume monitoring.
Check and adjust your patient’s wrist strap.
CHECK YOUR PATIENT’S WRIST.
ADJUST TENSION OF THE
WRIST STRAP.
PRESS THE START/STOP KEY
TO RESUME MONITORING.
CHECK YOUR PATIENT’S WRIST
SENSOR IS COMPRESSED BY A
FORCE OTHER THAN THE STRAP.
PRESS THE START/STOP KEY

The pressure on your patient’s wrist is
not sufficient to continue monitoring.
The pressure on your patient’s wrist has
increased to a value greater than
acceptable. This increased pressure has
been caused by something other than the
wrist strap tension.
Once you have corrected, power off the Fusion.
Power on the Fusion. Resume monitoring.
Verify that your patient’s sensor end of patient cable
is free from obstructions and not pressed against a
firm surface
.
Verify your patient’s wrist has not changed positions.
Once you have corrected, power off the Fusion.
Power on the Fusion. Resume monitoring.
6.2.2 Recoverable Alarms
These errors will not halt system operation but will prevent any new pressure values from being displayed
until the cause of the error is remedied. If consecutive recoverable errors last longer than 70 seconds (at the
minimum cycle time setting), a message on the LCD will indicate the time when the last valid reading
occurred, and the LED’s will flash until the error has recovered.
The LCD display is the error message area. The message displayed will be the highest priority message
which occurred since power on in the case of non-recoverable errors, or since the previous sweep in case of
recoverable errors.
