1 Finger probe
Noninvasive Blood Pressure Accessories (models 3100, 3200)
1 Cuff extension hose
1 Adult cuff
Installing the
Vitalert 3000 Series
Monitor
Installing the Vitalert 3000 Series requires approximately 13.5 by 17 inches
of shelf space. The shelf should be capable of supporting at least 35
pounds.
NOTE: The Vitalert 3000 Series monitor is equipped with a universal
power supply for 100-240 VAC primary electrical power. The
supplied power cord comes with a 117 VAC hospital grade
plug. If a different plug is needed, an appropriate connector
must be installed on the cord by a qualified electrician.
Attach one end of the power cable to the receptacle on the rear panel. The
other end of the Vitalert 3000 Series power cable must be plugged into a
grounded outlet.
CAUTION: The Vitalert 3000 Series may have a leakage current of up to
50 µA. When plugged into the convenience receptacle of
another device, the monitor may contribute up to 50 µAto
the total system chassis leakage current of that device.

Configuring Default
Values All system settings on the Vitalert 3000 Series, including alarm limits,
Datascan settings, units of measure, etc., are initially configured with
factory default values. Initial setup of the machine should include
configuring all of the system settings and the monitor setup values.
In addition to the template that contains the factory default alarm limit
settings, the monitor can store eight additional templates in its memory for
later selection. As part of your installation procedure, configure the
Standard Site Defaults; these settings become the default alarm limit values
upon power-up for all subsequent cases. For complete information on
templates, see the Vitalert 3000 Series Operator’s Manual.

Sample Line
The illustration shows the components associated with the patient sample
line. The following paragraphs describe the installation of each component.
Water Trap
Reservoir Insert the reservoir by guiding its rubber port seals into the mounting
bracket’s gas flow ports on the left side of the Vitalert 3000 Series
monitoring system. Gently push at the reservoir’s base until it rests flat
against the mounting bracket.
Air Filter Install the Air Filter onto the fitting located to the left of the water trap
reservoir, and connect the PVC sample line to the air filter.
Adapter/Filter Mount the combination adapter/filter for the sample line between the
endotracheal tube (or face mask) and the patient breathing system. This
filter is intended to prevent particulate contamination of the sample line.
Patient
Sample Line Install the sample line between the adapter/filter and the water trap
reservoir as follows:
1. Insert the male Luer-lock fitting on one end of the line into the
female Luer-lock fitting on the adapter/filter. Twist clockwise until
secure.
2. Insert the male fitting on the other end of the line into the female
fitting attached to water trap reservoir. Twist clockwise until secure.
Take care not to kink or pinch the sample line.

Section 3
Routine Maintenance
Overview This section includes cleaning and replacement procedures and instructions
on the use of the Vitalert 3000 Series maintenance screens.
Cleaning and
Sterilization Clean and sterilize the Vitalert 3000 Series monitor and its parts according
to the guidelines below. Follow your institution’s policies regarding specific
methods and agents for cleaning and sterilization. Determination of the
need and frequency of sterilization of any particular component is the
responsibility of the user institution. Sterilization procedures should be
performed according to procedures established by the user institution,
following the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer of the
sterilizing equipment or agent to be used. Such policies, procedures, and
instructions should ultimately be consistent with established principles of
clinical microbiology and infection control.
Surfaces Clean painted, plated, and plastic surfaces of the Vitalert 3000 Series with a
soft cloth moistened with an aqueous germicidal cleaner. Mix the
germicidal cleanser in accordance with instructions provided by the
manufacturer. Do not use solvent cleaners or abrasive cleaning agents on
any surfaces of the monitor.
Do not use anesthetic agents for cleaning purposes.
CAUTION: Do not allow liquid to enter the interior of the Vitalert 3000
Series monitor.
Pulse Oximeter
Sensor Do not autoclave the sensor or interface cable. The sensor can be cleaned
by wiping the patient contact areas with a liquid disinfection agent or
alcohol. Do not use acetone or acetone/alcohol mixtures because they will
damage the sensor. Do not immerse the sensor or interface cable. Do not
allow liquid to enter the interior of the sensor.
Noninvasive
Blood Pressure
Cuff
Before cleaning or sterilizing the NIBP cuff, detach it from the extension
hose by twisting the Luer-lock fitting at the juncture of the cuff hose and
measurement hose. Clean the cuff with a liquid disinfection agent or mild
detergent solution.
Do not autoclave the cuff. It can be sterilized with ethylene oxide gas,
followed by at least 2 hours aeration in an appropriate aeration cabinet.
Do not autoclave the extension hose. It can be sterilized with ethylene
oxide gas (cold cycle), followed by at least 8 hours aeration in an
appropriate aeration cabinet.

Section 3
Routine Maintenance
Replacing the Water
Trap Reservoir The disposable water trap reservoir is held by a bracket mounted next to
the patient interface panel on the left side of the Vitalert 3000 Series
monitor. It is designed to collect excess water accumulation in the sample
flow.
To replace a reservoir that is filled to capacity:
1. Detach the full reservoir’s flexible hose fitting at the sample line
connection by twisting the Luer-lock fitting counterclockwise.
2. To gain access to the reservoir, temporarily remove the air filter by
turning it counterclockwise and pulling it from its mounting.
3. Grasp the full reservoir at the base and gently pull away from the
mounting bracket, allowing the rubber port seals on top of the reservoir
to disengage from the gas flow ports of the mounting bracket. Dispose
of the full reservoir properly.
4. Insert the new reservoir by guiding its rubber port seals into the
mounting bracket’s gas flow ports; gently push at the reservoir’s base
until it rests flat against the mounting bracket.
5. Connect the new reservoir’s flexible hose fitting to the male Luer-lock
fitting on the sample line; twist clockwise until secure.
6. Reattach the air filter to the fitting alongside the reservoir. Turn the
filter clockwise until secure.

Routine Maintenance
Replacing the Air
Filter The purpose of the air filter is to collect particulate contamination, and it
should be replaced if it becomes clogged. Refer to the previous illustration
for the location and mounting arrangement of the air filter.
1. Remove the air filter by turning it counterclockwise until it separates
from the fitting on the machine.
2. Disconnect the PVC sample line from the filter by holding the filter and
turning the Luer-lock fitting on the PVC sample line counterclockwise.
3. Install the replacement air filter on the fitting. Turn the filter clockwise
until secure.
4. Reconnect the PVC sample line to the filter. Twist the Luer-lock fitting
on the PVC sample line clockwise until secure.
Main Maintenance
Screen The Vitalert 3000 Series monitors include a maintenance mode that allows
the setting of gas sample flow rates, gas analyzer calibration, and
diagnostic testing of the NIBP and SpO2monitors. These maintenance
functions are represented by a series of screens that you can access from
the display panel. In addition to these functions a Preventive Maintenance
Schedule (PMS) screen is provided for setting the next PMS due date.
The Main Maintenance Screen is shown in the following figure. This screen
displays the machine serial number, the date that the machine was last
maintained, the hours since last service, total hours on the machine, and
the version number for each software set in the machine.
To access the Main Maintenance Screen:
