Quality Anaesthetic monitoring The Impact-Ill multi-parameter monitor is a hand-held, battery-powered unit designed for use in monitoring vital signs of animals. The Impact-Ill unit is capable of measuring 2 channels of temperature data, 1 channel of Pulse-Oximetry data and 1 channel of sidestream C02 breath data. The unit has a set of internal rechargeable NimH batteries with an operating time of approximately 6 hours. The unit may be charged and used at the same time. The unit is charged by connecting the supplied charger to the DC input jack on the right hand side of the unit. Please...

When using the Sidestream CO2 analyser (ISA Module) the sample gas must be returned to either the patient anaesthetic circuit or to the scavenging circuit as it will contain anaesthetic gases. Use the luer connector at the back of the unit to connect a waste gas line for gas removal. Beeps and Alarms Beeps and Alarms are indicated by a small loudspeaker located on the bottom of the unit. The volume control for these sounds is located on the right hand side of the unit. Turning the control clock-wise increases the loudness of the beeps. Beeps can be associated with either Pulse-Oximetry or...

Capnography Important Note: The ISA sidestream multi-gas probe is intended to be connected to a patient breathing circuit for monitoring of inspired/expired gases of patients in intensive care, anaesthesia and emergency care. It is not intended to be used as the only means of monitoring a patient. It shall always be used in combination with other vital signs monitoring devices and/or professional human judgements of patient condition. The ISA multi-gas analyser is intended to be used by trained and authorised veterinary professionals only. It is not intended to be used in outdoor transport...

The ISA Sidestream gas analyser is intended for use by authorized and trained medical personnel only. Use only approved Nomoline sensors with the ISA analyser Replace the Sampling line if the sampling line input connector starts flashing red or a Nomoline occlusion message appears on the screen. The ISA Sidestream analyser must not be used with flammable anaesthetic agents Do not use the ISA Sidestream gas analyser with metered-dose inhalers or nebulised medications as this may clog the bacterial filter Do not autoclave any part of the Nomoline sampling line Never sterilise or immerse the...

Pulse-Oximetry The impact-III Pulse-Oximetry module uses Nonin veterinary Pulse-Oximeter technology and can be used with Nonin sensors or Nonin-compatible sensors. Two sensors are commonly used: a Transmission sensor and a Reflectance sensor. Transmission sensors are typically placed on the tongue or ear, whilst Reflectance sensors can be placed under the base of the tail, in the ear against the medial wall or against gingivae/nasal septum. Sensors connect to the unit via a 9-Way Male D-Type connector at the rear of the unit (see Figure 1). Extension cables are available to enable further...
