General Kappa Patient Monitor
4 Overview Although similar to a Delta or Delta XL monitor in user interface and

monitoring capabilities, the Kappa has been designed to support applications
that require a larger screen display in place of “pick-and-go” functionality. It
also differs in several other significant ways —
• It has no integral display but instead provides an output connector for a
separate VGA Display.
• It is AC powered and has a built-in power supply.
• An internal battery maintains monitoring functions for up to 20 minutes in
the event of temporary AC power loss. The battery does not, however,
provide power to the VGA display.
• It is fan cooled instead of convection cooled.
• It has no etCO2 module capability, but instead uses an etCO2 pod.
• When equipped with Advanced Communication Option, it provides MGM
and MIB support as well as up to 5 user-defined setups.

Function Description Kappa Patient Monitor
Function Description
1 Introduction The Kappa is a high-end single-board patient monitor. The board provides the
following parameters; 6 lead ECG, Respiration, two Temperatures, SpO2,
NBP, four IBPs, Cardiac Output, and two onboard 5 watt patient isolated ports
for additional parameters. It has connectors for external CRT, user interface,
audio, NBP pneumatic assembly, chart recorder, analog out, defib sync,
memory card, and Uarts. The board also contains the patient isolated front
ends.
2 Computer Hardware architecture of the monitors is based on a dual processor design

Archictecture using two Motorola MPC860s with onboard cache. The main processor is
responsible for graphics and communications, while the second processor is
dedicated to data acquisition and algorithm processing. A DSP subsystem
preprocesses the front end data.
There are three major bus structures within the system; MAIN processor bus,
FRONT END bus, and REMOTE COMM bus (see ). The buses operate at
different speeds and efficiency. The FRONT END bus and REMOTE COMM
bus have multiple bus masters and common memory to allow exchange
between I/O devices.
The REMOTE COMM bus interfaces to the Advanced Comm Option. This
option includes the main circuit board from the IDS.
Kappa.Function Description.structured.fm 05.06.06
Figure 1 Kappa Bus Structure

Kappa Patient Monitor Function Description
2.1 Main Processor Bus The Main processor bus is a 32 bit data bus connecting the MPC860 to its
main bank of 16 meg DRAM memory. The Program for the monitor is stored
in 8 meg Flash memory and uploaded to DRAM during initialization. The
DRAM is optimized for multiple word transfers allowing efficient cache fills.
This bus has an optional daughter card connector allowing expansion of the
main memory space. The graphics controller is connected to this bus to allow
high bandwidth access to video memory. The bus has a max bandwidth of 40
megbytes/sec.
This bus also has an I/O space implemented in an FPGA. These functions
include audio, chart recorder interface, keypad and rotary knob interface, and
EEPROM. The EEPROM contains serial #’s, calibration constants and
configurations. The I/O space also includes the Bridge to the FRONT END
bus and a port to the REMOTE COMM bus. The Bridge to the FRONT END
bus is unidirectional. This means that the Main processor may read and write
to the FRONT END bus, but the Front end processor can not access the
MAIN bus.
2.2 Front End Bus The Front End bus is a 32 bit data bus connecting the second MPC860 to its
main bank of 4 meg DRAM memory. The program for this processor is
downloaded from the main processor during initialization. The DRAM is
optimized for multiple word transfers allowing efficient cache fills. Both
processors contain 512K of battery-backed SRAM for trend and other patient
data storage. Data is exchanged through the common memory. This bus has
multiple bus masters that include the following:
• Front End 860
• Main 860
• DSP DMA
• POD Comm DMA (a POD is a configured front end)
• DRAM Refresh
2.3 COMM Bus The COMM bus interfaces to a network controller and other local serial buses
including MIB, lGraphics, Gas Monitoring, and other peripherals. The host is
stalled until completion of all read operations, but is released after a write is
latched to be serialized.
2.4 Error Handling The hardware provides several circuits for error detection, error recovery, and
safety. The main processor bus, front end processor bus, and COMM bus
both have timeouts implemented with the arbiter to prevent a lock up of the
system. The main 860 and the Front End 860 are both protected with
watchdog timers. If a timer expires, the system initiates a reset and restarts
the monitor.
The power supply is also monitored with a piezo alarm that sounds during
power up (for test) and power down. This is to alert the user that the monitor
has turned off. The piezo is also sounded continuously if the monitor does not
reset properly after a watchdog timer has expired and the computer has
halted.

The main unit has been designed as a single board computer used in the
SC7000. In addition to the main board there is a connector board that adds
the functionality of the SC8000 which is different from the SC7000. These
functions include Analog Out buffering, Sync buffering, power for the ISD, fan
control, and circuitry to convert the cartridge connector of the SC7000 to a
pod connector. The other functions of this board are identical to the SC7000
connector board which include EEProm and a cable harness. The main
board has three main sections (see ) -- processor, power conversion, and
front end. Each section is shielded from the others.
Figure 2 Kappa Block Diagram
2.5 Main Unit

2.5.1 Processor Section The processor section contains all computer functions of the monitor. It
contains two MPC 860 processors, a VGA graphics controller, and a 2181
DSP. All of these devices communicate using one large FPGA (field
programmable gate array) that is downloaded at initialization. The FPGA
contains all custom circuitry used in the computer, including the processor
bridge, comm transmitter, pod com DMA, DSP interface, NBP interface, and
I/O interfaces for both processors. Configuration of the FPGA may be
updated with the Software through the memory card adapter.

2.5.2 Power Conversion Sec- The power conversion section operates on a DC input from +11 to +15 volts.
tion It switches between the power supply and the internal battery for the proper
power source, and generates all necessary dc voltages for the unit. It charges
and maintains the internal battery. This section also contains the patient
isolation for the two internal front ends as well as two general pod comm
ports. It also has the power control for the NBP pneumatics.
2.5.3 Front End Section The front end contains MultiMed and HemoMed circuitry. The MutiMed front
end provides the following parameters; 6-lead ECG, Respiration, Pulse
Oximetry, and Temperature. The NBP pressure transducer is also contained
in this front end. The front end is based on a single 16 bit oversampling
converter. Oversampling allows for a reduction in anti-aliasing analog circuitry
while maintaining superior noise rejection. The HemoMed front end provides
four invasive pressures and Thermal Dilution Cardiac Output.
2.5.4 Cooling System The cooling system for the main monitor uses a fan mounted on the rear of
the chassis. If the internal temperature of the circuit board exceeds 80° C the
monitor shuts down to prevent damage to the electronics. The monitor does
not restart until the temperature is below the shut off value.
2.5.5 Real Time Clock The Real Time Clock function is implemented with the EPSON-SEIKO
RTC4513 device, and is synchronized by the Central Station.
2.5.6 Non-volatile Memory The shared RAM and real time clock are provided with a lithium battery
Battery Backup and backup circuit to prevent corruption of this non-volatile memory during a
Power Reset power loss condition (both primary and battery power are lost). Note that the
battery used for non-volatile memory backup should not be confused with the
internal and external batteries used to provide power to the monitor base unit
when primary power is lost. Non-volatile memory lithium battery backup is
controlled by a power supervisory device that provides a power reset during
a power loss condition.
Note
No provisions have been made to recharge non-volatile memory backup

battery. Eventually (aprrox.10 years), battery must be replaced.
2.5.7 MPC 860 Communica- MPC 860 has an embedded communications processor capable of executing
tion Channels several protocols such as UART or Ethernet. The 860 communications
channels are used as follows:
Main Processor
SCC1Ethernet10 Mbits/sec (future option)
SCC2SC 9015 UARTselectable baud
SCC3MVP-1 UARTselectable baud
SCC4MVP-2 UARTselectable baud

SMC1main diag UART19.2 Kbaud
SPIa/d (power monitor)
Front End Processor
SCC3serial pod data
SCC4serial pod data
SMC1front end diag UART
An additional UART implemented in the FPGA contains a large FIFO and

interfaces to the chart recorder.
2.6 Interfaces
2.6.1 Local Fixed Keys Inter- The monitor base unit has twelve fixed function keys and a fixed key
face dedicated as a power on/off switch. The power on/off switch is unique in
that it is not directly available via a status read command, but rather is
input to the power supply subsystem interface, where the switch state is
detected and processed. Detection of a power off condition causes an
interrupt to the host processor.
2.6.2 Rotary Knob Interface The rotary knob is a 16 detent rotary knob. Each detent position indicates
a "click" clockwise or counter-clockwise. The change in detent position is
detected via a 2 bit quadrature code that changes value every time the
rotary knob is moved into a detent position. Also included in the rotary
knob is a push button switch that is operated by a press/release action.
This switch is used to select menu items on the screen.
2.6.3 Fast Analog Output The ANALOG OUT interface consists of two identical channels. Each
ANALOG OUT channel provides a 12 bit D/A function. The design uses a
dual DAC to produce the D/A conversion. The sampled analog data is then
passed through a 2 pole low pass filter. The analog output has a maximum
delay of 20ms, and can be used for a defibrillator or balloon pump.
Separate Pacer Spike generation circuits for analog outputs 1 and 2 are
provided.
2.6.4 HiFi Audible Alarm Inter- The Audible alarm interface consists of an FM synthesis and Audio DAC
face chip set. There is also power amplifier drive circuitry for the two speaker
interfaces: the internal speaker located in the base unit and the speaker
located in the remote CRT. Circuitry has been included to provide a
mechanism for automatically generating an error tone when a watchdog
failure occurs via the piezo alarm ).
The chip is loaded with tone frequency, pitch, harmonics, and volume
information by the host processor, which controls the duration of the tone.
The audio DAC converts the received sampled tone data and produces a
sampled analog representation of the tone data.

The local speaker interface (also designated as main speaker interface) is

designed for an 8 ohm speaker load. This local speaker interface produces
1 watt of power into an 8 ohm load, and has thermal shutdown capability.
The remote speaker interface is designed to produce a 1Vrms maximum

signal into a 1 kohm load, and provides an ac coupled output.
2.6.5 LED/Status Interface Five LEDs provide information in the present Kappa configuration. Two are
dedicated to the front end processor, to the DSP, and two to the main
processor.
2.6.6 QRS Sync Out Interface A QRS sync output is provided. The QRS SYNC OUTPUT is an open
collector type output driver that is pulled up to +12 volts (active HIGH). The
output is initialized to Gnd on reset or power on.
This QRS signal is available via an external connector mounted on the main
PC board. High level = +6V min (10KW load), +12.6V (no load); Low level (no
QRS) = 1V @ 5ma.
2.6.7 Local Alarm Out Inter- A Local Alarm output is provided. This Local Alarm Output is an open
face collector type output driver that is pulled up to +12 volts. The output is
initialized to ground (0 volts) on reset or power on (active HIGH).
Loopback status is available via a status read command.
The Local Alarm Out signal is available via an external connector mounted on
the main PC board.
2.6.8 Recorder Interface The recorder interface provides all of the necessary control, data and power
supply signals required to drive an external recorder. The interface consists of
current limited DC power and a UART with handshake signals. The UART is
implemented in the main processor FPGA to allow for an extended FIFO.
2.6.9 Serial EEPROMS Four serial EEPROM devices, which contain the Monitor serial number,
Ethernet address, NBP pneumatic characterization and calibration constants,
and monitor setups, are located on the connector I/O board. If the main
processor board is replaced the monitor will keep its set ups from these serial
EEPROMs.
Two EEPROMs can be written only at the factory, and contain the Monitor
serial number and Ethernet ID address. The other devices are writable by the
main processor and are changed during service menu setups. These devices
are used for the monitor as well as network setups, device compatibility, and
software feature locks.

Figure 3 Graphics Subsystem
2.7 Graphics Subsystem
2.7.1 Overview The Graphics Subsystem is based on a commercial VGA controller (see ),
and drives a CRT display from a local memory used to refresh the screen. It
uses a special video crystal which enables it to synchronize to most video
standards. The graphics chip is capable of running resolutions such as 800 x
600, when these displays are added to the monitor. The standard resolution
is set to 640 X 480.
2.7.2 Functional Description The VGA subsystem is designed to optimize the Bitblit operation, which
allows for quick updates of the screen. This is accomplished by writing
images to non-viewable areas of video memory before they are needed and
copying them to the screen on demand. The copy function is performed by
the VGA controller.
2.7.3 Video Output The Graphics Subsystem provides output to a standard VGA monitor. The
CRT interface uses three 8 bit DACs for its three color outputs. The front
bezel interface is digital and contains 6 bits for each color.

Figure 4 DSP Subsystem
2.8 DSP System The monitor uses a DSP for preprocessing of oversampled data (see ).
The DSP is a specialized microprocessor that executes high speed
repetitive functions such as digital filters. The DSP acquires data from the
incoming serial pod comm data streams. The data sent to the DSP is
selected by the control words in the pod com memory buffer. Typically only
high acquisition rate data is sent to the DSP.
The DSP has two other communication ports both of which can access the
internal 32Kword memory. The IDMA port is used to DMA data to and from
the common memory. Bus sizing logic converts the DSP 16 bit port to the
32 bit FRONT END bus. During initialization this path is used to download
code to the DSP. The main processor takes control of the DMA port during
this time. Once the system is operational the DSP takes control of the
DMA controller by using its I/O port. The I/O port is a dedicated 8 bit path
into the main FPGA, which allows the DSP access to the DSP DMA
controller as well as other internal FPGA registers, including analog out
and QRS sync.

Figure 5 Pod Communications

2.9 POD COM A pod is a front end device that acquires data for a particular set of
Subsystem parameters. A pod may contain a processor and return preprocessed data or
it may provide raw A/D samples.
Refer to Figure 5.

2.9.1 Overview The pod com subsystem has four channels. Channel 1 is dedicated to the
two internal front ends; the MultiMed and HemoMed. Channel 2 is dedicated
to the slot on front for etCO2. This connector does not require patient
isolation and has higher power than the pod com connectors. Channels 3 and
4 are both used to communicate with external pods. They have full patient
isolation for both power and data.
Data acquisition of the monitor is controlled by several DMA controllers that

operate on circular buffers residing in common memory on the FRONT END
bus. There are four channels, each allocated a 16 bit transmit buffer and a 16
bit receive buffer. It takes four 32 bit transfers to update one location in every
buffer, since each access consists of high and low data from different
channels. The transmit buffer tells the pod either what sample to take or to
change a control setting. The receive buffer contains a/d samples and status
information from the pod. A control register in the FPGA sets a mux to the
DSP’s communication port and connects the selected pod com channel.
2.9.2 Outputs
2.9.3 Error Handling The pod com channels provide error detection by performing CRC checks on
data in both directions. CRC errors are reported to the front end processor
through interrupts.


Figure 6 Power Conversion
2.10 Power Conversion Refer to Figure 6.
2.10.1 Power Control
Power Buss Most monitor loads are powered from a DC power buss, called VBUSS,
within the monitor. VBUSS powers the +3.3VDC, +5.0VDC, ±12VDC,

+40VDC and charger power converters. VBUSS also powers the external
pods, cartridge, strip recorder and backlight. The NBP pump and valves as
well as the internal multimed and hemomed front ends are powered from the
regulated +12V supply.
Control and Load The switching of the VBUSS power inputs and the power converters is
Sequencing managed by the power supply gate array. This gate array controls the power
on and power off of the monitor, and the battery charging process. It also
provides a safety timer for the NBP pneumatics, which are controlled by the
main processor FPGA.

Logic circuits on the main gate array sequence the power to the Pods,
Cartridges, and Recorder to reduce power on load transients.
Power On / Off The monitor is normally switched on by the user pushing the On/Off button for
at least 1 second. (The monitor may switch on when the switch is pushed for
as short a time as 50 msec.)
The power down sequence may be initiated either by the user pushing the
on/off switch for at least 1 second or when the batteries are depleted. When
the power down sequence is initiated, the power conversion board control
logic generates an interrupt for the processor. 100 ms later, the power supply
shuts down. An immediate shutdown is initiated if a power fault occurs (such
as overvoltage).
Power Source Control Power for the monitor is provided by the internal power supply or internal
battery.
This input is monitored by a voltage comparator to determine that adequate

voltage is present for internal power supply operation. The main battery also
has a voltage comparator indicating that its voltage is high enough to provide
power.
Based on the information provided by the comparators, a power source is

connected to VBUSS in the priority of main power supply and then battery.
Battery Charging The battery charger is a two-level constant voltage charger with a fixed
current limit and temperature compensated voltage levels. When the main
power comes on, the battery is fast charged at the high voltage until the
current drops below a specific threshold. Then the charger voltage drops to
the lower “float” voltage.
Indicator LEDs Two green LED indicators on the front bezel of the monitor indicate power
and charger status, as given in Table 1.
Table 1 Power and Charger LED Indicators

2.10.3 Piezo Alarm The piezo alarm activates at power up, power down, and if a software
watchdog is activated. At turn on, the software shuts the piezo off after two
seconds. The piezo functions are as indicated in Table 3.

Turn off >4 seconds, <10 seconds
Processor watchdog Continous (until sucessful reboot)
+5V Undervoltage >4 seconds, <10 seconds
+3.3V Undervoltage >4 seconds, < 10 seconds
2.10.4 Fault Protection Reverse polarity protection for the battery and the main power input are
provided by shunt diodes and fuses on the connector board. There is also a
fuse in series with the battery harness. +5V, +3.3V, and +12V supplies are
provided with overvoltage protection.
The battery has a temperature sensor on the Connector I/O PC board that is
used to disable charge or discharge of the battery if the temperature is
excessive.
A temperature sensor in the power supply section of the main board shuts
down the power system if the board temperature is excessive.
All power converters are fused to limit fault currents.
2.10.5 External Pod Overload External pod current limit circuits are implemented as follows:
Protection
When an overload occurs, the load is switched off after the 0.2 second
overload timeout. A retry occurs after 5 seconds.

2.11 Front Bezel
2.11.1 Introduction The Front Bezel provides an interface to the various operator related
functions. The interface consists of circuitry and connectors that allow the
main processor to access all of the operator related functions.
2.11.2 Functional Description The front panel interface section of the Connector I/O PC board provides an
interface between the main board and the front bezel components. It is a
cable harness for these components and is unique in its construction. The
board provides for unit rotary knob input and keypad interface.
2.11.3 Local Rotary Knob/fixed The Kappa base unit has twelve fixed keys. An additional key is dedicated as
Keys Interface the power on/standby switch. The rotary knob interface provides a 2-bit
encoder output and also a rotary knob push button signal output. All of the
key/rotary knob signals are filtered. All of the keypad switches have
pulldowns except the power on/standby switch. Thus, the power switch signal
output from the front bezel is pulled up by the power switch interface located
in the power supply section.
2.11.4 Battery/power LED Inter- The battery LED is turned on or off via the associated LED control signal from
face the main board. The power LED is connected to +5V. Both the battery and
power led's are green when turned on. The power and battery LED's have
been integrated into the membrane switch interface used for the fixed key
and power on/standby switch. The LED on/off control signals are provided by
the power supply.
2.12 MultiMed Front End The MutiMed front end section of the main board combines 6-lead ECG, 2-
lead respiration, temperature, and saturated oxygen data gathered by the
MultiMed Pod from transducers at the patient and converts them to digital
form for transmission through isolators to the computer section of the main
board. This section also houses the NBP pressure transducer which uses the
same acquisition system.
The hardware design uses a single oversampling 16 bit converter to measure

all of the parameters. This allows bulky analog filters to be replaced by
software filters. Careful shielding and filters protect against very high
frequency interference from upsetting measurements.
2.12.1 Safety • Patient isolation withstands 5kV during defib.

• Leakage currents are limited to safe values normally and during single
fault conditions.

• Patient is protected against electrosurgical burns at the electrodes.

• Defibrillation protection does not drain excessive current away from the
patient.
Figure 7 MultiMed Front End
Specially shielded connectors and cables are used to provide excellent

immunity up to 1000MHz and can not be touched by patient even when
disconnected.

Single cable from MultiMed Pod to Kappa reduces clutter between bed and
monitor.
2.13 Functional Transducers gather physiological data at the patient and feed them into the
Description small MultiMed Pod at the bed. The MultiMed Pod in turn is connected via a
3-meter cable to the MultiMed front end in the main unit where analog ECG,
Respiration, Temperature, and SpO2 signals are converted to digital form and
sent through isolators for processing.
2.13.1 ECG/Resp The MultiMed Pod located close to the patient accepts a set of 3, 5 or 6
shielded ECG electrode leads, an SpO2 (Nellcor) cable adapter, and a
temperature sensor. The ECG section contains RF filters, and overvoltage
clamps that include 1k series resistors to limit shunting of defibrillator current.
The SpO2 and temperature sections also contain RF filters. Impedance
respiration is sensed through the ECG electodes. Void-free potting and
internal shielding enable compact containment of high voltage defibrillator
and electrosurgery pulses. The small interconnecting cable to the main
assembly is captive at the MultiMed POD but plugs into the MultiMed front
end via a specially shielded connector.
The front end accepts physiological signals from the MultiMed POD
connector and feeds temperature, respiration, and ECG signals via RF filters,
configuration multiplexers, and pre-amplifiers to a high-speed multiplexer
driving a 16-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The data stream is sent to
the Main Processor board via an opto-isolator. Control commands from the
Processor are sent out to the front end on a similar isolating link. Isolated DC
power is also provided.
The ECG signals are conductively coupled to the isolated circuits via current-
limiting series resistors, whereas the SpO2 signals are optically isolated at
the transducer. Temperature signals are doubly insulated at the patient by
disposable boots on the sensors. AC (40kHz) excitation currents for
respiration monotoring are dc-isolated by high-voltage ceramic capacitors.
The A/D samples the following parameters:
Table 4 Parameter Sampling Table
Parameter # of Channels
ECG 4
Pace 2
SpO2 Red 1
SpO2 IR 1
NBP 1
Resp 1
Temp 2

The pace signal samples are used directly by the DSP to detect pace
pulses. All other signals are decimated and filtered using digital signal
processing to the above specifications. Additional filtering is user
selectable and invokes additional digital signal processing in the computer
section of the board. The high oversampling rate is required to minimize
the requirements (and size) of the analog anti alias filters. Superior
rejection to ESU and other types of interference is achieved with this type
of design.
ECG • Pacer pulses may be detectable by software on two lead-pairs.

• Bandwidth is set flexibly by software filters.
• Reconfigurable neutral selector can drive any electrode.
• Lead-on detection functions with even poor electrodes.
• Calibration voltages can be superimposed on patient wave-forms or
onto flat baselines.
See Figure 8. Composite electrocardiographic (ECG) signals generated by

the heart and by a pacemaker are filtered to reduce RF interference from
impedance respiration and electrosurgery and then injected with dc lead-
off detection currents. Over-voltage clamps protect the semiconductors
from the surges passing the sparkgaps in the MultiMed Pod and also
reduce the dc current applied to the patient due to a component fault.
Figure 8 Lead Forming Network
The Wilson point, "W", the average of the LA, RA, and LL electrode
potentials, serves as the negative reference potential for the V and V' lead-
pairs and is also used as a measure of the common-mode potential of the
patient. By driving the isolated common of the front end at the same

potential as the Wilson point, the common-mode voltage across the

electrodes is reduced nearly to zero and the effective common-mode
rejection is improved. As most of the common-mode current is now forced
through the neutral electrode, it becomes noisier and hence is not used as
part of another signal path. Switches are provided to select other
electrodes to be neutral if the RL electrode is off or missing. If the V'
electrode is present, then it can be selected to be neutral so that the three
Einthoven and the V lead pairs can still be used. However, the V' lead-pair
will be corrupted due to neutral current noise. Similarly the V electrode can
be selected to be neutral. Now that the RL is disconnected from the
neutral driver, its potential can be monitored to determine whether it has
been reconnected to the patient and thus is able to be reselected to be
neutral.
If only the three Einthoven (LA, RA, and LL) electrodes are connected, one
is selected as neutral leaving the remaining two electrodes to form one
valid lead-pair. The "W" now contains the neutral drive signal which
bypasses the neutral electrode and reduces the gain of the neutral driver
amplifier. To improve the resulting poor common-mode rejection, a Wilson
Grounding "WG" switch is activated to selectively disable the offending
input to the "W".
Figure 9 Respiration Functional Block Diagram
Respiration Refer to Figure 9.

• Respiration is both ac- and dc-coupled in hardware. DC is used for
high Z sensing; ac is used for signal acquisition.
• Respiration may be monitored on leads I and II.
• Detection sensitivity has low dependence on base resistance or elec-
trode unbalance.
Impedance respiration is monitored by injecting a nominally 40kHz square

wave of current into one ECG electrode and removing it at another ECG
electrode. The resulting 40kHz voltage drop across those electrodes is
proportional to the impedance. Specially balanced true current sources do
not load the ECG electrodes or distort the ECG morphology. The
waveform of the current is preemphasized to reduce bypassing effects of
cable capacitance. The returning 40kHz differential voltage is amplified,
synchronously demodulated, and low-pass filtered. The resulting dc-

coupled waveform is converted to single-ended form, further low-pass

filtered, and passed to the A/D multiplexer. An ac-coupled stage with an
"autobloc" dc-restorer feeding a separate input to the A/D multiplexer also
provides additional gain.
Figure 10 Temperature Functional Block Diagram
2.13.2 Temperature Refer to Figure 10.

• Designed to meet the stringent German PTB requirements including
detection of marginal accuracy due to degradation of a single compo-
nent.
• A second temperature channel is also available.
Temperature is sensed at the patient by a non-linear negative-

temperature-coefficient thermistor. This is linearized with a precision
resistor network and excited by the same reference as the A/D converter
to a produce ratiometric digital output. An input multiplexer (MUX) selects
among the external signal and internal reference dividers simulating -5
and +50°C. The dc amplifier matches the dynamic range of the A/D by
combining, amplifying, and precisely offsetting the small signal from the
multiplexer. Power supplies whose failure would invalidate temperature
measurements are also monitored and compared against the A/D
reference.
Figure 11 SpO2 Functional Block Diagram

2.13.3 SpO2 Determination of the concentration of oxygen in the blood depends on the
principle that the absorption of red (R) light depends on the degree of
oxygenation of the blood, whereas the absorption of infrared (IR) radiation
is independent of oxygenation and causes only constant attenuation.
Refer to Figure 11. In the SpO2 sensor, R and IR emitting leds are
alternately pulsed on at a 25% duty cycle. The intensity of light (including
ambient) transmitted through or scattered by the blood is converted to a
current by a photodiode in the sensor. The current that appears when both
leds are off depends mainly on the ambient light. This ambient contribution
is later subtracted to leave only the R or IR signal levels. The large
dynamic range of the light intensities requires constant automatic
monitoring and adjustment.
The intensities of the R and IR sources are independently controlled by

two digital-analog converters attenuating the 2.5V reference.
Attenuated radiation falling on the photodiode in the sensor is converted to

a current which passes through an RF filter balun in the HVPOD and
enters the current-to-voltage converters in the MultiMed front end. The
resulting unipolar stream of pulses is then ac-coupled to a controllable-
gain differential amplifier. The signal is then synchronously demodulated
into Red and IRed signals with ambient light subtracted. Additional gain
control, filtering, and signal offset are provided for each signal prior to A/D
conversion.
The calibration of each sensor is coded into the value of a precision

resistor built into the sensor. The value of this resistor is sensed by forming
a voltage divider. The value of the resistor ratio is read by a separate A/D
input, and out of range values are interpreted as “sensor unplugged.”
2.14 Communications The multiplexers and A/D are controlled by the Main Processor via a
Manchester-encoded serial communications channel (Pod Com) optically
coupled to the isolated front end. Most of the digital logic is contained in
the MultiMed FPGA. Outputs from the A/D are Manchester-encoded in the
MultiMed FPGA and fed to the opto-coupled data flow to the Main
Processor.
A power-on monitor resets the FPGA until both ±5V have risen to normal
range. The isolated dc-dc converters are synchronized to the data
acquisition sequence via the Main Processor FPGA. The A/D converter is
automatically calibrated after the power-on reset is cleared.

Figure 12 NBP Functional Block Diagram
2.15 NBP Refer to Figure 12.
2.15.1 Introduction The NBP design measures blood pressure non-invasively using an inflatable
cuff and the oscillometric method. The NBP algorithms are performed in the
front end processor. The NBP circuit contains two pressure transducers
which measure the hose pressure. The second redundant pressure sensor is
used to measure overpressure for safety. This pressure transducer is
mounted in the power section while the other pressure transducer is mounted
in the MultiMed front end. A plastic manifold connects the two transducers
together and to the pneumatic assembly in the rear case. The MultiMed front
end A/D samples the pressure transducer.
2.15.2 Pneumatic Subassembly The pneumatic subassembly consists of two modulating solenoid valves (V1,
V2), a pump (P1), a filter, and a manifold. The manifold provides the
interconnection of the air passages between the individual components and
provides for their mechanical mounting. It also provides an acoustic
attenuation of the valve and pump noise. The filters prevent contamination
from entering the pneumatic system from the cuff hose or ambient air.
P1 provides the pressurized air to inflate the blood pressure cuff. V1 and V2
are used to control the air flow during the de-flation phase of a blood pressure
measurement. V1 is a normally closed exhaust valve with a relatively small
orifice. V2 is a normally open exhaust valve with a comparatively large orifice.

When a blood pressure measurement is initiated V2 is closed, P1 is turned

on and the rising cuff pressure is monitored via pressure transducers. When
the pressure has reached the target inflation pressure, P1 is turned off.
Neonate inflation cycles are identical except that a speed control circuit is
used to reduce the pump output to approximately 15% of the adult mode.
After the inflation, there is a short delay after the pump stops to allow thermal
transients to settle. Either V1 or V2 is now modulated to control the deflation
rate. The choice of V1 or V2 and the initial pulse width is made based on the
inflation cycle. The chosen valve is modulated and the pulse width (open
time) is continuously adjusted to provide a constant deflation rate. If initial
deflation was started with V1 the software may determine that it needs to
switch to V2 to maintain proper deflation. In any case when the measurement
cycle is complete, V2 is opened fully (de-energized) to allow for rapid
deflation.
2.15.3 Transducers The measurement pressure transducer is DC coupled to a 16 bit A/D

converter so that cuff pressure is measured with adequate resolution to
detect blood pressure pulses.
The overpressure transducer has two threshold settings. The adult setting is
300 ±30 mmHg and the nominal neonatal setting is 158 ±7 mmHg. Both
transducers share a common manifold and are mounted on the main PC
board.
2.15.4 Pneumatic Controls The P1 control provides 3 functions.

• It limits current to the pump when the pump starts to prevent power sup-
ply overload.
• It rapidly decelerates the pump when the pump is shut off, by applying a
low resistance across the motor.
• It provides a closed loop speed control for low speed neonatal operation.
A relatively high pulse voltage is used to drive V1 and V2 to get quick

response. This pulse lasts for approximately 2 milliseconds after which time
the valve voltage is lowered to a holding value. At the end of the valve "on"
time period, the valve voltage is allowed to reverse and the energy stored in
the solenoid inductance is rapidly released into a relatively high voltage
clamp circuit.
P1 and V2 are supplied by a redundant power switch so that, under fault

conditions, they can be de-energized.
2.15.5 Safety timer The software limits measurement time to 119 secs for adult mode, 89 secs for
neonatal mode and 59 secs for French neonatal mode. A safety timer circuit
monitors current in P1 and V2, and if due to some failure (hardware or
software), P1 or V2 remain activated for more than 120±1 seconds in adult
mode, 90±1 seconds for neonatal mode or 60±1 seconds in French neonatal
mode, the circuit latches on, causing the redundant power switch to P1 and
V2 to switch off. When the safety timer latch has been set, V1 is opened as

an additional safety feature. Only recycling the monitor resets the safety timer
latch. The safety timer circuit is functionally independent of the logic gate
array.
When the unit is powered up, the safety timer is de-activated until the pump is
started the first time. This feature allows service calibration without triggering
the safety timer. Once the pump has been activated the timer circuit becomes
functional.
2.15.6 Logic gate array The main FPGA provides the following control functions for the pneumatics
and the communications.
• Clock generation for safety timer
• 12 bit 20 Hz PWM and pulse control for V1 and V2
• Pump control
• Neonatal mode switching of pump and overpressure
• Safety logic
2.15.7 Non-volatile memory A EEPROM stores pneumatic component flow factors. During calibration at
production system test and in the field, a 0.5 liter canister is connected to the
NBP input on the monitor. The monitor automatically measures the pump and
valve flow rates and determines their flow factors for the use in the flow
control algorithm.
2.15.8 Hose detection An electromagnetic coil located at the hose connector detects the metal in the
hose connector when the connector is present.
2.15.9 Watchdog Timer A watchdog timer is implemented in the power conversion FPGA to monitor
the safety timer clock input from the main FPGA in case the main FPGA or its
crystal become damaged.

Figure 13 HemoMed Front End
2.16 HemoMed Front End
2.16.1 Introduction Refer to Figure 13. The HemoMed front end section of the monitor’s main
board takes invasive blood pressure, and thermal dilution cardiac output data
gathered by the HemoMed Pod from transducers at the patient and converts
them to digital form for transmission through isolators to the computer section
of the main board. The HemoMed front end may also be used with a single or
dual pressure cable instead of using the HemoMed.
Pressure The pressure data acquisition front end is designed to operate with resistive
strain gage pressure transducers having an output impedance of less than
3000 Ohms and an input impedance between 3000 and 200 Ohms.
Excitation voltage is applied in pairs. Press 1 and 3 share a driver as well as
Press 2 and 4. The output signals generated from the pressure sensors are
passed through filter and clamp networks which limit and filter RF noise. The
pressure excitations are monitored for fault detection.
Cardiac Output The two thermistor signals are connected to a precision resistor network to
linearize voltage vs temp curve of the thermistor. The thermistor signals are
filtered and clamped before amplification. Two calibration voltages are also
sampled by the A/D converter to correct amplifier offset and gain errors. The
catheter also has a reference resistor which is read for calibration.

The front bezel switches on the HemoMed are converted to unique voltages
when pressed, allowing a voltage to be sent to the A/D converter, which can
be decoded by the front end processor into the corresponding switch closure.
Figure 14 etCO2 Sensing Process Functional Block Diagram
2.17 etCO2 Pod The etCO2 pod non-invasively monitors end-tidal CO2 using a technique that
relies on the selective absorption properties of the CO2 to specific
frequencies of infra-red radiation. See Figure 14.
In the sensor a thick film infra-red source is pulsed at a rate of approximately

87 Hz, generating a broad- band spectrum of IR. Selective filtering separates
this into two narrow regions, one inside and one outside the band of CO2
absorption. The detector associated with the filter outside the band of CO2
absorption records the maximum level of the source energy since the signal it
receives is not affected by CO2. It provides a baseline which serves as a
Reference for the level of CO2 in the airway. The other detector senses a
filtered energy level modified by the presence of CO2. As the level of CO2
increases, the CO2 gas molecules in the airway absorb more of the light
energy and less signal reaches the detector. This signal, converted by the
detector, is referred to as the Data signal. Current through the thick-film
source is bidirectional to offset the tendency of particles within the source to
migrate when exposed to a strong unidirectional electric field caused by
current flow only in one direction. This keeps the structure of the source
uniform and enhances system integrity and life of the product.
To acquire a precise level of CO2, both channels are simultaneously sampled

and the level of CO2 is determined from the ratio of the Data and the
Reference channels. The ratio is compared to a look-up table in memory to
establish the correct value in units of mmHg.
The pod then sends the results to the host system for further processing and
display.

2.17.1 System Memory The system has three types of memory:

– PROMProgrammable Read Only Memory
– SRAMStatic Random Access Memory
– EEPROMElectrically Erasable Read Only Memory
PROM stores the pod's program. Its contents remain intact even when power
is removed from the pod. It has been socketed to allow for future program
updates, if required. Besides containing the pod's program, it also contains
various look-up tables for calculating CO2 parameters and the Interrupt
Vector Table.
The system's Static RAM functions as a scratch pad to temporarily hold

various system variables until they are either no longer needed by the system
and are overwritten with new information, or power is removed from the pod
and the RAM contents are lost.
The EEPROM holds system parameter information that must be retained

when power is removed, but must also be modifiable by the processor. The
device contains multiple copies of system information such as calibration
factors, sensor serial number, and span cell number, to ensure data integrity.
A Supervisor chip performs various monitoring tasks to ensure that the

microprocessor and system run properly.
2.17.2 User Interface The user interface provides capability for airway and adapter calibration, and
also compensation for effects of N2O and O2. When calibrating the
accessory assembly, switches inside the sensor, one for the Zero Cell and
one for the Span Cell, tell the processor when the assembly has been placed
on the proper cell for system calibration.


2.18 HEMO 2/4 POD
Figure 15 HEMO 2/4 POD Functional Block Diagram
2.18.1 Functional Description HEMO 2/4 PODs have provisions for monitoring either 2 or 4 invasive blood
pressures, 2 temperatures and cardiac output. See Figure 15.
2.18.2 Pressure The pressure data acquisition front end is designed to operate with resistive
strain gage pressure transducers having an output impedance of less than
3000 Ohms and an input impedance between 3000 and 200 Ohms.
Excitation voltage is applied, one at a time, to each resistive strain gauge
pressure transducers by a single, current limited voltage reference circuit
which is time-multiplexed across four pressure sensors. The differential

output signals generated by the pressure sensors are passed through filter
and clamp networks which limit the differential and common mode voltage
swings and filter out RF noise.
Next, the signals enter a functional block that converts the differential signals
into single ended signals which are then presented one at a time in a time-
multiplexed fashion to a fixed gain single ended amplifier. Calibration
voltages for zero and 200 mmHg are periodically switched into the amplifier
input to correct errors in amplifier offset and gain respectively.

An A/D converter samples the resulting output voltage. Timing is coordinated

by the logic gate array.
Figure 16 IBP Functional Block Diagram
2.18.3 IBP Each of two thermistors is connected to a functional block that consists of a
precision resistor network to partially linearize the voltage verses temperature
transfer curve of the thermistor. This functional block also consists of means
for filtering RF noise and limiting the voltage swing. A 4.5 Volt reference is
connected to power each linearization network.
A multiplexer selects one of the two temperatures or one of the two

calibration points and connects the voltage to the input of a fixed gain
amplifier. The two calibration points are used to correct gain and offset errors
in the amplifier circuits.
An offset is added to center the signal within the dynamic range of the A/D
converter. The signal is then further multiplexed with two power supply
voltage monitors and Cardiac Output. A fixed gain of two is finally applied to
match the signal range to the full scale range of the A/D converter.
2.18.4 Cardiac Output Cardiac output operates in much the same way as temperature. The
thermistor signals are filtered and clamped then multiplexed to the input of a
fixed gain amplifier. Two calibration voltages are also multiplexed in to correct
amplifier offset and gain errors.
Next, an offset is added to the signal to center it to the dynamic range of the
A/D converter. The amplified signal is then multiplexed with temperature, then
through a fixed gain of two and finally to the A/D converter.
2.18.5 EEPROM Storage Two EEPROM's are used for non-volatile information storage. One EEPROM
is used for reading and writing data that changes during the operation of the
POD, such as pressure offsets, the other stores more permanent information
such as POD serial number and is therefore write protected. A state machine
inside the logic gate array supports communications between the Host and
the two EEPROM's. A mechanism is provided which allows service personnel
to disable the write protection of the otherwise write protected EEPROM.

2.18.6 LCD and Push Buttons A total of 16 LCD characters are provided for use as pressure labels. Each
pressure channel is allocated 4 LCD characters. The Logic Gate Array
supports communication of controll between the Host and the LCD's.
Up to three push buttons are provided for user interface. There is one for
pressure zero, one for Cardiac Output Start and one spare. The interface of
the buttons to the Host is handled by the gate array.
2.18.7 Current Limiting the Volt- In the event a defective pressure sensor presents a short circuit to the
age Reference excitation voltage source, the voltage source goes into current limit during the
bad transducer's time slot.
2.19 Advanced Comm The Kappa has been designed to function in standalone mode or in an Infinity
Option Network. It is not compatible with SIRENET.
The Comm Option PC board supplies power and communications interface

for peripheral devices associated with the monitor.
2.19.1 Comm Option Board The major circuits include a high speed serial link to the Patient Monitor,
Hardware control and status registers to the 68302 processor, and miscellaneous
functions. The serial link functions as a bus master on the local bus. The
68302 performs bus arbitration. The registers and miscellaneous functions
are slave devices on the bus and completely accessible to the 68302.
2.19.2 EEPROMs The Comm Option PC board contains SERIAL EEPROMs which are
programmed in the factory with various configuration parameters. One
contains factory-programmed field service data and is read-only in the field. A
second EEPROM is field-programmable and contains various configuration
parameters.

Fault-Cause-Remedy
1 Introduction Troubleshooting Kappa monitors is either a two-step or three-step process

depending on whether the problem is internal or external to the Monitor.
1. Determine whether the trouble is external, such as a malfunctioning pod,

connector or cable, or internal.
2. Do either a or b as appropriate.
a) If external, replace malfunctioning item.
b) If internal, go on to step 3.
3. Usual remedial action is to replace malfunctioning component or subas-
sembly. See “Spare Parts” for complete listing of replaceable system
components and subassemblies. After replacing an internal subassem-
bly, functionally verify all monitor functions before returning monitor to
clinical service.
Kappa monitoring system devices consist of the Base Unit, and peripheral
devices including the R50 Recorder, etCO2 Pod, MultiMed or MultiMed 12
Pod, HEMO or HemoMed Pod, and VGA Display.

3 Power Problems Before troubleshooting power problems, keep in mind that fuses are used to

8 Isolating Cable In general, the troubleshooting and repair approach for cable malfunctions is
Malfunctions to use a known input signal for any given parameter, and then replace a cable
or sensor found to be malfunctioning. Cable malfunctions, including those
associated with connectors on the cables, generally fall into one of three
cagegories -- Open circuits, Short circuits, and Intermittent conditions

Open circuits and short circuits manifest themselves as a loss of signal.

Software in the Monitor senses the loss, and generates an error message
such as “ECG Leads Off” and “SpO2 Transparent.” Typically, short circuits
result in software resets.
An intermittent condition manifests itself as noise on the signal. The source of

the noise can often be isolated by removing the signal and shorting the
input(s) to the cable. Then flex along the cable, particularly at connectors,
while watching for noise indications on the monitor display.

11.1 NBP Error Messages

NBP Open Line Results if the NBP measurement circuit does not sense pressure changes
after initiating inflation. Possible causes include an open line out to the
patient, an open or occluded line on the pressure measurement line running
between the NBP assembly and the pressure transducer on the main
processor board, a leaky cuff or cuff connector, or a defective valve on the
NBP pump assembly.
NBP Blocked Line Result of the NBP measurement circuit detecting an occlusion on the line to
the patient, or a neonatal cuff with monitor in adult mode.
NBP Overpressure Result attributable to hardware or software detecting overpressure.
NBP Cuff Deflation Error Result of the two minute NBP measurement timer expiring. It is typically
triggered when an NBP measurement had been taken prior to placing the unit
in calibration mode. (When calibrating, power-cycle monitor and then don’t
run pump until after calibration.)
NBP Artifact Result of erratic pressure values being sensed and could be related to an
application problem or could caused by an intermittent connection to the
sense line.
11.2 NBP Before attempting to troubleshoot NBP malfunctions, do the following:

Troubleshooting
1. Set up NBP Calibration assembly.
2. Perform leakage test on fixed volume and hose, and on system.
3. Check calibration.
Note
Refer to procedures in Noniinvasive Blood Pressure Section in Functional

Verification for procedures to set up NBP Calibration assembly, perform
leakage test, and check NBP calibration.

Test List Kappa Patient Monitor
Functional Verification
Tests and Calibration
Checks
1 Introduction Calibration required for proper operation of Kappa Patient Monitors has been
programmed into the software for the monitor. Specific calibration and
adjustment procedures needed in routine operations of the monitor are
detailed in the User Guide for the installed software version, and are required
to be performed only when directed to do so by a message in the message
field on the monitor display.
If specific reading of a patient parameter is suspect, Dräger Medical

recommends functional verification for that function. Dräger Medical
recommends a full functional verification for all patient parameters, including
an NBP calibration check, a pneumatic leakage check, a Temperature
calibration check and a leakage current check be performed in accordance
with local regulations or at least annually.
Note
Calibration checks for NBP and Temperature should be performed by only

qualified personnel with the necessary equipment. Regulations in some
national jurisdictions may place specific requirements on who may perform
these functions
The following describes functional verification and calibration check

procedures for monitors in the field. The procedures assure proper operation
of the monitor, using industry-standard patient simulators and test equipment,
to verify that the monitor properly processes and reports patient physiological
parameter signal inputs. Record results of functional verification testing in a
copy of the Test List.
Software and certain of the monitor’s hardware components are continually

checked, first during power-up and later during on-line self-tests. All monitor
functions that are tested are performing in accordance with design
specifications if no error messages exhibit.
Perform all functional verification procedures with the monitor off-line.

Disconnect all patient parameter signal inputs from the monitor, and plug in
signal inputs from patient simulators and industry-standard test equipment
only as instructed to do so. To assure that the monitor is off-line, unplug
network cable from monitor.
If the monitor fails to perform as indicated for any specific function during
Kappa IEC Test List.structured.fm 05.06.06
functional verification procedures, troubleshoot the monitor using procedures

in Fault and Remedy document and remedy the malfunction before
attempting to complete functional verification.
2 Recommended Use specified recommended tools and test equipment given in Table 1 below,
Tools and Test or a known equivalent, when performing functional verification tests.
