Control elements which are active and selectable are backlit.

1 Power button: with this button the device can be turned on and off. The button is

illuminated continuously red if the device is on. The button is flashing red if the device

is recording and green if in wait mode.

2 Button for starting a recording. Until serial number 76 the button is not illuminated. From

serial number 77 onwards the button is backlight with a green and a red LED. The

button is illuminated in green if a recording with manual recording start is initialised or

the device is ready to start the recording. If the button is illuminated in red this is a

warning for the user that there is an untransferred recording on the device. The

recording can be started anyway.

3 Marker button for indicating events. Backlit with a red LED. If connection between

device and PC is active the LED is flashing red quickly.

4 Light sensor: detects ambient light

5 Battery status:

• yellow → battery is being charged

• green → battery is fully charged, docking station is connected to the power supply

• switched off → docking station is not connected to the power supply

6 Bluetooth: blue light indicates connection with the paired receiver

7 LEDs for sensor ports: either green or red. LEDs are indicating missing/connected

sensor during start of the recording and during the recording. When switching on the

device all LEDs light up shortly and indicate the operational state and battery capacity

of the device. Afterwards, the LEDs turn red and show which sensors are needed for

the next recording. All LEDs turn off after 5 minutes after the recording has started. If a

sensor is accidentally removed during the recording the LED next to the port turns red

and stays red until the sensor is re-connected again. LEDs for flow (9) and abdomen

(10) are green all the time (as soon as they are part of the montage).

8 LED for headbox connector. Functionality identical to 7.

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the SOMNO HDTM eco from SOMNOmedics. Please read the

following instruction manual carefully before installing and using the device. We gratefully

accept any feedback and helpful suggestions to improve our product or instruction manual.

Please find the safety instructions and important information in the chapter “Safety

instructions”, as well as in the individual chapters where they are labelled as follows:

Note: This is an example.

2.1 Intended use

The SOMNO HDTM eco is a mobile device for recording, displaying and saving biophysical

parameters. The device is used as polysomnography system (PSG) for assisting in the

diagnosis of sleep related disorders. The device is used in hospitals, medical offices, sleep

centres, clinics or other research facilities where adults and/or infants are observed. The

system may also be used in ambulatory settings.

The software DOMINO is part of the system and offers the opportunity to record video signals

or signals of external devices. Those signals are displayed synchronously with the SOMNO

HDTM eco signals.

DOMINO is not providing full, automatic diagnosis. The software is supposed to be used by

trained medical experts. DOMINO generates reports of the recorded and manually scored data

(number, index, average values, maximum and minimum, ranges). All values displayed within

the software and on the device itself must be checked and evaluated by trained medical stuff.

Diagnosis must be given after visual evaluation of all recorded data.

This device is not intended to be used as a life support system or together with other

systems in life support applications. The device does not provide an alarm. The device

is not designed to be used as an automatic apnoea monitor. The device is not designed

for use with HF surgical equipment.

2.2 Patients

The SOMNO HDTM eco and its components may only be used as follows:

- At patients as of the first month of life, no premature infants

2.3 Essential performance features of the device

According to DIN EN 60601-1:2013-12 (Edition 3.1) SOMNO HDTM does not have any

essential performance features if used as polysomnography device. The basic safety of the

device must be ensured without the presence of essential features.

For extension of the intended use of the device to neurological applications then the DIN EN

60601-2-26 is applicable. The following essential performance features are defined:

- Accuracy of signal reproduction 201.12.1.101.1

- Input dynamic range and differential offset voltage 201.12.1.101.2

- Input fault 201.12.1.101.3

- Frequency response 201.12.1.101.4

- common mode rejection 201.12.1.101.5

Electromagnetic influences, caused by other devices or device with radio equipment, may

affect the essential performance feature or could lead to a loss of the essential performance

features. The waveforms of EEG signal can be affected by an increased noise level, peaks,

offset or other noise.

2.4 Safety instructions.

Evaluation and functional diagnosis of the recorded data is intended to be done by trained

medical experts. For evaluation of the data it is necessary to consider all data together. Signal

quality, interfering signals, dropouts and impedance must be checked previously to the final

diagnosis by the user.

Applications with children must be performed under continuous control.

The SOMNO HDTM eco system may not be used in the course of life support monitoring.

In order to guarantee the correct interpretation of the recorded data the operator should hold

suitable qualifications recognised in their local country.

We recommend that patients with a cardiac pacemaker should wear the main device on the

abdomen rather than on the thorax. We recommend placing the main device at least 16 cm

away from the pacemaker. When following these instructions, no signs of interference of the

cardiac pacemaker with the main device are expected. Additionally, a safe distance needs to

be maintained between the Bluetooth data receiver and patients with cardiac pacemakers or

other implanted stimulation devices.

It is important to deactivate Continuous Impedance Measurement for all EXG channels in

patients that have a cardiac pacemaker or other implanted stimulation devices. Please find a

detailed description regarding this topic in the instruction manual of the DOMINO software, in

the section called “Continuous impedance measurement”.

If a sensor cable or the device housing itself is damaged do not use it any longer. A risk of

injury due to electrical voltage or thermal energy may occur. The device housing, all wires,

sensor cables and plug connections must be checked for damage before every use. Damaged

parts should not be used and must be repaired or replaced by trained experts or by persons

authorized by SOMNOmedics.

Warning: Avoid using the device in close proximity to other equipment or in stacked

combination with other equipment. This could lead to improper operation. However, if

necessary, in the manner described above, this device and the other devices should be

observed to verify that they are working properly.

When using the 4-channel analogue optocoupler to record signals from several external

devices, medical devices and non-medical devices should not be connected at the same time

as there is no galvanic separation between the 4 signal inputs.

The main device is not designed to be used in a potentially explosive or combustible

environment.

The main device is not designed for outdoor use and thus must be protected against

temperatures below 0°C and above 50°C. Ingression of dust, dirt and water may damage the

device.

Regarding ingression of humidity and water, the main device complies with protection class IP

22. Consequently, the device must be protected against humidity and water.

Should any liquids enter the device, the device must be cleaned immediately by

SOMNOmedics customer service personnel. Following this, the device will undergo a safety-

related examination. Do not switch on the device if any liquids have entered.

Cleaning should only be conducted with a lint-free and damp cloth. Don’t use steam autoclave.

Please refer to the information about disinfection (see chapter 6.1 Cleaning and disinfection).

Adhere to the indicated dosages as well as to the application time. Use disposable protective

gloves when using aggressive disinfectants.

Chemicals required for maintenance have to be stored, prepared and kept ready in appropriate

containers to avoid confusion.

When stored for a longer period, the main device should be kept in a closed room to avoid

water condensation caused by temperature fluctuations at high humidity.

Do not use Radio Transmitters and Receivers, High Frequency Devices, CB-Radio Systems,

Cellular Phones, Microwave Ovens, etc. within a distance of 30 cm (in accordance with IEC

60601-1-2) to SOMNO HD™.

If a battery change is required, only batteries specified by SOMNOmedics may be used.

SOMNOmedics cannot guarantee error-free operation if different batteries are used.

Refrain from removing the battery while the device is running as this can result in data loss

and damage of the storage media.

Insert the battery always with the imprinted arrow pointing up and to the back.

Do not put any labels or stickers onto the battery. This could lead to a malfunction of the battery.

Do not put any kind of lable on the battery. Sticking a lable on the battery could lead to a

malefunction of the battery.

Check on the battery regularly. Do NOT use batteries that appear severely swollen.

Please note that the internal time and date will not be saved when storing the device without

a battery. If the device is stored without a battery, it must be initialized before use via the

DOMINO software in order to synchronize time and date.

Repairs, modifications and opening of the main device must be carried out in the

factory. Otherwise, this will lead to immediate loss of warranty.

Any damage of the warranty seal “Warranty void, if seal is broken”, located on the back of the

device case, will lead to immediate loss of warranty.

The main device should only be used with micro SD cards specified by SOMNOmedics.

SOMNOmedics cannot guarantee error-free operation if third-party memory cards are used.

The memory card must not be removed during recording as this may lead to data loss.

Since 1st October 1998, batteries may not be disposed of in household waste. The consumer

is obliged to hand used batteries to the manufacturer, authorized dealers or to local collection

points. The foundation Das Gemeinsame Rücknahmesystem (GRS) which was founded in

Hamburg organises safe disposal.

When recharging a partly-charged Li-Ion battery, this counts as one whole recharging cycle

and shortens the durability of the battery.

Always recharge the battery with the SOMNOmedics docking station NGA102 as the battery

can otherwise be damaged.

SOMNO HDTM eco should only ever be used with sensors and electrodes specified and

approved for usage with this device by SOMNOmedics.

The docking station of the main device should only be used with the supplied power supply,

XP-Power VEP15US12.

Connect the docking station to a freely accessible socket. In case of a fault it should be

possible to unplug it easily.

When using SOMNOmedics equipment with an external plug-in power supply unit, the

power supply unit should not be placed in direct proximity to the patient.
