•

Warnings like this alert you to safety issues with the CDI System 550. You must read these warnings before using the CDI System 550. Caution Cautions contain important information about the operation and maintenance of the CDI System 550. Read these carefully in order to avoid any problems.

Note: Notes contain information that help with the operation of the CDI System 550.

How the CDI System 550 works The CDI System 550 is an AC-powered, microprocessor-based monitor. It uses an optical fluorescence technology to measure blood gases, pH, and potassium. In addition, it uses an optical reflectance technology to measure oxygen saturation, hematocrit, and hemoglobin. Optical fluorescent measurement. Two cable assemblies, one Arterial and one Venous (Optional) connect the monitor to disposable CDI Shunt Sensors which are inserted into the extracorporeal circuit. The CDI Shunt Sensors contain fluorescent microsensors, which are the heart of the CDI System 550 measurement system. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) in the cable-heads direct light pulses towards the microsensors. The microsensors are composed of fluorescent chemicals that emit light in response to the stimulating pulses. The intensity of the emitted light depends upon the concentrations of potassium, oxygen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions coming into contact with the microsensors. The light emitted by the fluorescent microsensors is returned to the cable-heads and measured by a light detector. The output signal of the detector is converted by the microprocessor to numerical data, which is displayed on the monitor’s screen.

introduction

Optical reflectance measurement. The monitor’s optical probe sensing surface contains light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a photodetector. The LEDs direct light pulses at the blood through an optical window in the Terumo CDI H/S Cuvette, which is inserted into the extracorporeal circuit. The intensity of the resulting reflections are analyzed (on the basis of the characteristic spectra of the oxy- and deoxy- forms of hemoglobin) to determine the oxygen saturation, hematocrit, and hemoglobin. These values are displayed on the monitor’s screen.

Before you begin You must read and understand all the information in this manual - the CDI Blood Parameter Monitoring System 550 Operator’s Manual - and the instructions for use that came with associated disposables before using the system. Pay special attention to the following important safety information:

•

The shunt sensor accessory contains Germall II in the calibration fluid. A potential byproduct of Germall II may be Formaldehyde. Exposure may cause adverse reactions in patients with Formaldehyde sensitivity.

•

The shunt sensor is heparin treated and should not be used with heparin sensitive patients. Devices with heparin treated surfaces may cause an adverse reaction.

•

Use of the following substances can potentially cause inaccuracies in displayed values: Indocyanine green (Cardiogreen), Methylene Blue, or other intravascular dyes, carboxyhemoglobin or situations such as dyshemoglobins, hemoglobinopathies, elevated bilirubinemia and/or icterus (jaundice).

•

Verify the accuracy of displayed values with another source (i.e. laboratory or point of care blood gas analyzer) before initiating treatment. Warning

1-4

chapter 1

•

Possible explosion hazard. Do not use the CDI System 550 Monitor in the presence of flammable anesthetics or other explosive gases.

•

Do not use an apparently malfunctioning device in an operation.

•

Computer equipment in the operating room environment may interfere with the operation of existing monitoring or therapeutic devices, and may be susceptible to interference from such devices. To ensure that such interference will not occur, care must be taken in the selection of computer equipment or printers to be interfaced with the CDI System 550 Monitor and in the manner in which this interface is accomplished.

•

Maintain adequate levels of anticoagulation during extracorporeal circulation by monitoring activated clotting time (ACT) or another appropriate measurement. Use of a heparin treated device does not substitute for adequate anticoagulation levels.

•

Do not modify this equipment without written authorization from the manufacturer.

•

Equipment connected to the monitor’s serial port shall meet IEC 606011 current leakage specifications. The combination of the two pieces of equipment shall be checked for safe system/leakage current.

•

Do not immerse the CDI Blood Parameter Module (BPM) or CDI H/S Probe in liquid at any time. Immersion can cause damage to electronic components within the fiberoptic head.

•

Avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity environments.

•

When Methylene Blue or similar dyes have been used prior to or during cardiopulmonary bypass, independent external blood gas and blood chemistry analysis is required for accurate determination of all measured parameters needed to guide therapeutic decisions. Readings obtained from the CDI System 550 for the following parameters should not be relied on to make therapeutic decisions when Methylene Blue has been used: pH, K+, Base Excess, Bicarbonate, Oxygen Delivery, Oxygen Saturation, and Oxygen Consumption.

•

Blood conditions such as hemoglobinopathies, thalassemia, and variety of anemic conditions (sickle cell, iron deficiency, macrocytic), may affect the accuracy of hemoglobin and hematocrit measurements. Independent external analysis is required for accurate determination of these measurements as needed to guide therapeutic decisions.

•

The CDI System 550 should only be used when there is blood flow through the extracorporeal circuit. To perform accurately, the H/S Cuvette requires blood flow rates shown in the following table: H/S Cuvette Size 1/2" 3/8" 1/4"

Min Flow 1.0 LPM 0.5 LPM 0.2 LPM

Max Flow 7.0 LPM 4.0 LPM 1.5 LPM

The Terumo CDI Shunt Sensor requires a minimum of 35 ml/min. Restoration of blood flow above the minimum through the CDI Shunt Sensor or the Terumo CDI H/S Cuvette will restore performance of the system. •

Do not make simultaneous contact with the patient and certain parts of non-medical electrical equipment. Certain parts that can be accessed without the use of a tool (e.g. connectors or communication ports) may contain live voltages.

•

Independent external blood gas and blood chemistry analysis is required for accurate determination of all measured parameters needed to guide therapeutic decisions whenever intravascular dyes are administered or when dyshemoglobins or elevated bilirubin levels are present.

•

Use caution when administering novel pharmacological agents when the user is unfamiliar with the potential effect of such agents on the CDI sensors.

introduction

•

Do not attempt in vivo recalibration expecting to re-align values affected by interference due to intravascular dyes or pharmacological agents; the interference may be prolonged resulting in continuing inaccuracies.

•

Exposure of the shunt sensor to prime solutions and/or blood with pH less than 7.0 or greater than 7.8 pH units can interfere in the accurate measurement of potassium.

•

Exposure of the shunt sensor to prime solutions and/or blood with sodium measurement less than 120 or greater than 160 mEq/L can interfere in the accurate measurement of potassium.

•

Do not expose the monitor to condensing (water vapor) conditions. Condensation may occur when the instrument is equilibrated to a warm and humid environment and then is rapidly subjected to a much colder room temperature. Condensation may affect the measurement performance of the monitor.

•

Do not expose the monitor to large changes in environmental temperature (>10°C) or humidity (>20%) during use. Such changes may affect the measurement performance of the monitor. If exposed to severe environmental changes (>10°C), allow the monitor to equilibrate to the new environment for 24 hours before using.

•

Failure to perform a proper set-up including a full two point tonometered gas calibration, and a complete calibration of the potassium sensor and all other parameters may inhibit the system from achieving accuracy limits found in Appendix B.

•

Measured values prior to initial in vivo calibration may not be accurate. Do not use values prior to initial in vivo calibration for patient management. At the beginning of a case after the initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass and when conditions are stable, the user must complete calibration of all measurable blood parameters by comparing them to a laboratory measurement done on a blood sample. The values are dimmed on the CDI System 550 screen to indicate that the values are not accurate until an initial in vivo calibration is performed.

•

After changes of blood temperature of > 6°C, the user must repeat an in vivo calibration of shunt sensor values once temperature stability has been achieved. Optimal system accuracy will be maintained by this practice.

•

The temperature measured by the shunt sensor is local to the sensor and does not reflect the actual patient arterial or venous blood temperature. Do not use this measurement for patient management.

•

To avoid risk of electrical shock and to achieve grounding reliability, you must connect this equipment to an equivalent receptacle (marked “Hospital Use” or “Hospital Grade”) that has been inspected for proper grounding.

Caution • Federal (U.S.A.) law restricts this device to sale, distribution and use by or on the order of a physician.

chapter 1

•

Do not connect a shunt sensor to an unprimed circuit. Prolonged “dry” exposure can damage the sensors.

•

Do not use chemical solvents such as alcohol, ether, and acetone - or anesthetics such as Forane (isofluorane) - as cleaning agents on any part of the system. These chemicals can be destructive to the device. Follow the cleaning procedure in Chapter 10, “Routine Maintenance,” using only the recommended cleaning agents.

Note: The hemoglobin measurement technique used in this instrument measures total hemoglobin, and therefore includes other hemoglobin species such as carboxy-, met-, sulf-, and fetal hemoglobin. Terumo CDI blood parameter monitoring systems are intended to monitor blood gas values including pH, PCO², PO², K+, Oxygen Saturation (SO²), Hematocrit (HCT), and Hemoglobin (Hgb). When used in accordance with their instructions for use, the systems have been demonstrated to provide reliable reports of these values with an accuracy characterized in Appendix B of the Operator’s Manual. •

Caution Failure to follow the instructions can cause the monitoring system to display inaccurate values. The accuracy of the results is dependent upon the following: •

Reading and understanding the instructions for use

•

Proper set-up, full two point tonometered gas calibration, and complete calibration of the potassium sensor and all other parameters

•

Use of all available system features

•

Periodic comparison to a laboratory reference sample

Calibration gases The two-point tonometered calibration of the CDI Shunt Sensors requires the use of precision mixtures of CO2 and O2 gas in order to expose the sensors to well-defined pH, PCO2, and PO2 values. The set of gas bottles shall provide enough gas for approximately 80 individual sensor calibration procedures.

Gas A (Terumo CDI Model CDI506): CO2: 7.5 +/- 0.1% O2: 27.5 +/- 0.1% N2: Balance

Gas B (Terumo CDI Model CDI507): CO2: 2.8 +/- 0.1% O2: 4.0 +/- 0.1% N2: Balance

Warning •

The contents of the gas bottles are under pressure. Protect them from sunlight, and do not expose them to temperatures exceeding 50°C (122°F). Do not pierce or burn them, even after use. Do not spray the contents of the gas bottles on a naked flame or any incandescent material.

Caution • Check the expiration date on the gas bottles before use. Use of the calibration gas bottles after expiration may result in inaccurate calibration.

Terumo CDI Shunt Sensor The CDI Shunt Sensors contain the K+, PO2, PCO2, and pH fluorescent microsensors, as well as the thermistor contact site for temperature measurement. The sensors are single use, non-toxic, and non-pyrogenic. The heparin-coated, sterile CDI Shunt Sensors, Model CDI510H, are intended for placement into shunt lines, purge lines, sampling lines, shunt bypass lines, or any similar line that has blood flow. A minimum flow requirement of 35 ml/min is necessary for proper measurement. The filter/sparger found on one end of the sensor ensures a sterile barrier when the sensor is placed into the calibrator. The sparger on the filter is located inside the sensor. Don’t remove this filter/sparger until you are ready to place the sensor into the circuit.

chapter 1

Filter/sparger 5100113

Shunt Sensor

A transparent optical interface material found on the back side of the CDI Model CDI510H Shunt Sensors provides a means of consistent optical connection between the sensor and the fiberoptic cable connector. Optical Interface This material reduces the risk of measurement errors caused by moisture trapped between the microsensors and the cableheads. A thermal well on each sensor allows Thermal well the thermal transfer from the circuit to the thermistor cap located on each cable-head. Each sensor contains a buffered calibration 5100113a Optical solution. This solution stabilizes the microInterface sensors during storage. It also reacts with the tonometered gases during calibration to establish predictable pH, PCO2, and PO2 values. This buffer solution works in conjunction with the calibration gases during post-calibration checks (which are described in the section “Verifying calibration” in Chapter 5). Each CDI Shunt Sensor is intended for a single use. Aseptic technique must be used when adding the CDI Shunt Sensor to the circuit. Luer caps and a sterile filter/sparger assembly are provided on the sterile assemblies at each end of the shunt sensor to protect the blood pathway from contamination prior to insertion into the circuit. The CDI Shunt Sensor remains sterile as long as the package is unopened and undamaged. Each shunt sensor is individually packaged in a foil pouch and has a recommended shelf life indicated by the lot number expiration date printed on each package. For additional information, refer to shunt sensor instructions for use. Warning •

Products treated with the heparin treatment should not be used on patients with heparin sensitivity.

•

Maintain adequate levels of anticoagulation during extracorporeal circulation by monitoring activated clotting time (ACT) or another appropriate measurement. Use of a heparin treated device does not substitute for adequate anticoagulation levels.

•

Store CDI Shunt Sensors between 0°C (32°F) and 35°C (94°F). Freezing of the CDI Shunt Sensor, or storage at temperatures outside the stated range, can result in inaccurate performance.

•

Do not reuse CDI Shunt Sensors. Used CDI Shunt Sensors are contaminated and cannot be resterilized. Resterilization damages the microsensors.

•

Shunt Sensors are sterile, heparin-coated, non-toxic, non-pyrogenic, single use devices and for use in cardiopulmonary bypass procedures for up to 6 hours.

•

Use of certain intravascular dyes during cardiovascular surgery such as: Indocyanine green (Cardiogreen) and Methylene Blue may cause inaccuracies in displayed values. Independent external blood gas and blood chemistry analysis is required for accurate determination of all measured parameters needed to guide therapeutic decisions. introduction

•

Do not attempt in vivo recalibration expecting to re-align values affected by interference due to intravascular dyes or pharmacological agents; the interference may be prolonged resulting in continuing inaccuracies.

Caution • Do not use a CDI Shunt Sensor after the lot number expiration date printed on the package label. Using a CDI Shunt Sensor after its lot number expiration date can result in inaccurate performance. •

Do not use a CDI Shunt Sensor if the foil pouch it is packaged in has been damaged. A damaged foil pouch can result in inaccurate performance.

•

This product contains Germall II in the calibration fluid. A potential byproduct of Germall II may be formaldehyde. Exposure may cause adverse reactions in patients with formaldehyde sensitivity.

The Shunt Bypass Line The shunt bypass line is a tubing pack modification designed to allow connection of the CDI Shunt Sensor when an “in-line” application is desired. Two opposing Y-connectors allow a small fraction of the total blood flow to pass through the sensor while minimizing any additional flow resistance. The shunt bypass line is recommended when continuous venous side monitoring is desired and/or when a continuous shunt/ purge line is not available on the arterial side. The lines can be supplied as sterile individual assemblies for incorporation into the circuit at the time of use, or by a tubing pack supplier as a modification to an existing tube pack. Three tubing sizes are supported: 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4".

The CDI System 550 is not intended for use in situations in which there is no flow of blood through the CDI Shunt Sensor. A minimum blood flow of 35 ml/min is recommended to maintain measurement performance of the shunt sensor. Flows below the minimum may result in a slower time response. To maintain the minimum blood flow through the sensor, keep total blood flow in the shunt bypass line above 1.5 L/min for 1/2 inch tubing, 0.6 L/min for 3/8 inch tubing, and 0.2 L/min for 1/4 inch tubing. Restoration of minimum blood flow through the shunt line after an interruption will restore optimal performance of the system.

•

Use aseptic technique when inserting the shunt bypass line into the extracorporeal circuit to ensure that the blood contact surfaces remain sterile.

•

For all shunt bypass line applications: Use an arterial filter distal to the shunt bypass line when utilizing the shunt bypass line on the arterial side of the circuit. This protects against the introduction of air into the blood circulation.

•

Caution For single sterile shunt bypass line assemblies. Do not use the shunt bypass line after the date printed on the package label. Use beyond the date may result in inaccurate performance.

•

The shunt bypass lines, which are supplied sterile, will remain so as long as the package is unopened and undamaged.

•

Secure all connections on the shunt bypass line with stay straps.

Terumo CDI Hematocrit/Saturation Cuvette The CDI Hematocrit/Saturation (H/S) Cuvette is a flow-through device inserted directly into the extracorporeal circuit. The CDI H/S Cuvette is for a single use only. It is supplied sterile and individually packaged, for incorporation into the circuit at the time of use, or can be supplied non-sterile to tubing pack manufacturers for pre-connection. The CDI H/S Cuvette contains an optical window that provides a means of consistent optical connection between the CDI H/S Probe and the CDI H/S Cuvette. A magnet placed in the CDI H/S Cuvette provides verification of the correct connection between the CDI H/S Probe and the CDI H/S Cuvette.
