Welcome to the SunTech CT40
Thank you for choosing the SunTech CT40 for accurate spot-checking of vital signs.

The SunTech CT40 is designed to be simple and efficient to use and the CT40 features:
• mobility for improved and compact efficiency in a cost-effective package
• automatic BP checks
• averaging of multiple BP readings
• optional use of stethoscope for traditional auscultatory BP measurement
• robust memory
• connection to EMR system
• multiple options for pulse oximetry and temperature measurement

SunTech CT40 Description and Operation

The CT40 vital signs device can perform automatic blood pressure, pulse oximetry and body temperature
measurements for clinical professionals. For measuring blood pressure, a blood pressure cuff is placed around the
patient’s non-dominant upper arm. The cuff is inflated automatically and blood pressure is determined by the
oscillometric method—which senses pressure waves in the artery when occluded by pressure in the cuff.
Measurement of the frequency of the pressure waves enables heart rate to also be measured. The pulse oximetry
function non-invasively measures the patient’s percent oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin using principles of
plethysmography via a SpO2 sensor placed on the patient’s finger. Temperature can be measured using one of two
different kinds of temperature probes. The oral/axillary/rectal temperature probe contains a thermistor that
generates a voltage based on changes in temperature, and these voltages are recorded by the temperature circuitry.
The touchless infrared temperature probe detects radiated infrared energy from the temporal artery. The CT40 is a
portable device, approximately 205 x 190 x 140 mm in size and weighs approximately 1440 g without battery. Control
buttons allow the user to stop/start a BP measurement, save a set of measurements to memory, change between BP
modes, and return to the home screen. There is also a selection knob that is used to scroll and select different device
options. The backlit LCD display shows the user device status and measurement information. The device uses a
microprocessor with software, which is not accessible to the user. The unit is powered by a single rechargeable
lithium-ion battery at the rear of the device. Two USB-A port connections can be used to connect, an optional printer,
barcode scanner or Wi-Fi dongle. There is also RJ11 Ethernet port for network connectivity, and a mini-USB port used
to connect the device to a PC or laptop for advanced device configuration.

Note: For purposes of this manual, the SunTech CT40 (Model 260) may be referred to as “the SunTech CT40,” “the
CT40” or “the device”.

1. Safety Considerations
Intended Use
The SunTech CT40 is a clinical grade, automated blood pressure measurement device with optional
temperature and pulse oximetry modules for spot-check vital sign measurements in physician offices, long-
term care facilities, and low-acuity areas in hospitals. The CT40 can be used in combination with a clinical IT
network to transfer and store patient measurement data on an EMR system.

Indications for Use

The SunTech CT40 is a non-invasive oscillometric spot-check vital signs device. The CT40 is capable of measuring
and displaying brachial systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, percent oxygenated hemoglobin (SpO2) and
body temperature on children 3 years of age to adults. This device is intended for use by a qualified clinician when it
is necessary to take a single or a series of vital signs measurements on a patient. The CT40 is only for measurement,
recording and display. It makes no specific diagnoses.

The SunTech CT40 is intended to be used on adult and pediatric patients using appropriately-sized SunTech One-
piece Durable (OPD) BP cuffs.

User Responsibility
Your SunTech CT40 is designed to perform in conformity with the description thereof contained in this operation
manual and accompanying labels and inserts, when assembled, operated, maintained and repaired in accordance

Wireless Networking
When connecting this device to a wireless network, it is important to use only the hardware specified by SunTech
Medical (see Accessories section for details). Unsupported USB accessories, including unsupported Wireless
adapters, have been intentionally disabled and will not function with this device.

Possible Adverse Reactions

In the area of the BP cuff or SpO2 sensor, allergic exanthema (symptomatic eruption) may result, including the
formation of urticaria (allergic reaction including raised edematous patches of skin or mucous membrane and
intense itching) caused by the fabric material of the cuff or sensor.

Following the application of the BP cuff, petechia formation (a minute reddish or purplish spot containing blood that
appears in the skin) or Rumpel-Leede phenomenon (multiple petechia) may appear on the arm, which may lead to
idiopathic-thrombocytopenia (spontaneous persistent decrease in the number of platelets, associated with
hemorrhagic conditions) or phlebitis (inflammation of a vein).

Warnings and Cautions

WARNING: Do not attach the cuff to a limb being used for IV infusions or any other intravascular access, therapy or
an arteriovenous (A-V) shunt. The cuff inflation can temporarily block blood flow, potentially causing harm to the
patient.

WARNING: Pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss of functionality of SpO2 if simultaneously using
device on the same limb.

WARNING: Not designed for neonates.

WARNING: Do not apply the BP cuff to a limb being used for IV infusions as the cuff inflation can temporarily block
the infusion, causing harm to the patient.

WARNING: Check frequently by observing the limb that operation of the AUTOMATED SPHYGMOMANOMETER does
not result in prolonged impairment of the circulation of the patient.

WARNING: The cuff should not be applied over a wound as this can cause further injury.

WARNING: The cuff should not be placed on the arm on the side of a mastectomy. In the case of a double
mastectomy use the side of the least dominant arm.

Power Modes
Initial Power-up occurs the first time the device is turned on after being received from the factory, after the device
has been reset to factory defaults or after the battery has been changed. See “Monitor Setup” for information about
Initial Power-up.

Nominal Power-up refers to every time the device is turned on after Initial Power-up. Simply press the power button
and the display will illuminate.

NOTE: The blue LED around the Selection Knob will be lit whenever the device is powered on.

Power-down occurs when you press the power button when the device is powered up. During power-down, all LCD
segments and icons illuminate for 1 second and then the entire display gradually darkens from normal brightness to
black and then one beep sounds. At this point, the device enters Sleep Mode, a low-power state, and is considered
off.

Automatic Power-down occurs when the device has not been used (i.e., no measurements taken or buttons pressed)
for 1 hour. The device will automatically execute the Power-down sequence and enter Sleep Mode.

Your SunTech CT40 offers flexibility to function in ways that best meet your work setting.

Documenting Measurements
Before you start taking measurements, it’s important to document the patient ID per your facility’s procedures. In
order to do so, the barcode scanner must be used to enter the patient ID into the CT40.

With a Barcode Scanner

If your SunTech CT40 is connected to a barcode scanner, you can scan your patient’s barcode ID and it will show at
the top left of your screen. Then, the patient ID will remain attached to all measurements taken, saved in memory,
and/or sent to your facility’s EMR.

80-0067-00-MO-RevE 2017-05-03 SunTech CT40 User Manual | 17

Without a Barcode Scanner

If you don’t require a barcode scanner, all measurement results will be displayed on the main screen and can be
saved to the device’s memory, written down in a chart, printed out (with optional thermal printer) or captured in
another way that meets your facility’s documentation procedures.

Printing
The SunTech CT40 can be connected to an optional SunTech thermal printer to easily print out measurement results.
See Section 11 for ordering information.
After connecting the optional CT40 thermal printer (see Section 2 and Section 3), ensure that the green LED on the
top of the printer is lit and unblinking before printing.

Reset Print

To print the information currently displayed on the CT40 screen, press the print button on the top of the printer (see
diagram above).

Saving Measurements
With EMR Connectivity

Technicians may have already connected the SunTech CT40 to your facility’s EMR system. If so, you can easily send
measurements directly to the EMR.

With the patient’s current measurements displayed on the screen, press the Memory button . The EMR icon

and Check Mark icon will begin flashing.

Press the Selection Knob to send the data to the EMR. If the measurements are delivered to the EMR successfully,

you will see the EMR Message icon and the Check Mark icon blink four times.

To store the displayed measurements in the device memory without sending to the EMR:

Press the Memory Button ,

While the EMR and Check Icons are flashing, turn the Selection Knob until the X icon is displayed and then press
the Selection Knob. The measurements will be saved to the device memory only.

Without EMR

The SunTech CT40 does not have to be connected to an EMR system to save measurements. You can save them to
the device’s own memory. With the patient’s current measurements displayed on the screen:

Press the Memory button .

All of the measurement values on the screen, the Check icon and the Memory icon will flash on and off 2
times.

80-0067-00-MO-RevE 2017-05-03 SunTech CT40 User Manual | 18

The display will then return to a blank screen/shows null values, but the Check Mark icon will flash 2 more times,
this verifies the measurements are successfully stored to the device’s memory.

Note: The CT40 does not autosave. The user must save the reading to memory after every reading.

To view results stored in memory, press the Memory Button for more than four seconds. You will see the
most recently saved measurements displayed on the screen, and can turn the Selection Knob counterclockwise to
see older measurements and then clockwise to see newer measurements.

TIP: When you send results to memory, make note of the “Memory Location” number to keep track of an individual
patient’s measurements. Then later on, you can match the Memory Locator number with a patient’s name if you pull
up or print out results for documentation.

The memory will hold up to 99 records. At 100 readings the device will continue to save, but will save by overwriting
the oldest records.

5. Using SunTech CT40 for BP Measurement

The SunTech CT40 provides flexibility to allow you to measure BP using several different modes, depending on your
facility’s preferred procedure, the patient’s condition or other care considerations.

Step 1: Preparing the Patient

Patient Position

According to AHA guidelines, the patient should be seated for at least five minutes before taking a blood pressure
reading. The patient should be seated with feet flat on the floor and back supported. The patient’s upper arm should
be fully supported and resting at heart level. Encourage the patient to relax, and to be still and quiet.

Select and position BP cuff

Selecting the wrong size cuff will produce an inaccurate blood pressure measurement. When wrapped around the
patient’s arm, the Cuff Index Line should fall within the Range Markers printed on the cuff. If not, select a larger or
smaller cuff to ensure optimal BP measurement accuracy. The Artery Marker printed on the cuff must point to the
brachial artery, located inside the patient’s upper arm, between bicep and tricep. Wrap the cuff snugly around the
patient’s upper arm, so that the bottom edge of the cuff is approximately 1 inch above elbow joint.

80-0067-00-MO-RevE 2017-05-03 SunTech CT40 User Manual | 19

Step 2: Select Between Adult Vs Pediatric Mode
The SunTech CT40 offers two different measurement modes for two very different types of patients: Adults and
Pediatric patients (children between the ages of 3 and 12).

To switch between Adult and Pediatric modes:

: Adult BP Mode icon : Pediatric BP Mode icon

Hold the Toggle Mode button down for 4 seconds until the adult and pediatric icons start blinking.

Turn the Selection Knob in either direction to select the desired icon

After making your selection, wait 2 seconds. The selected icon will be the one flashing.

Once you have selected the intended mode, press the Selection Knob to finalize this selection.

Note: Adult and Pediatric mode can be used in conjunction with any type of measurement mode.

Step 3: Select Measurement Mode

The SunTech CT40 offers three different ways to measure BP.

Automatic Single BP: You can take a single, automatic measurement (Single Measurement Mode).

Averaged BP : Automatically take and average up to 5 multiple BP measurements (Averaging Measurement Mode).

Auscultatory/ Sphyg mode. Allows you to verify an automated oscillometric BP reading with a manual auscultatory
measurement (Auscultatory SphygMode).

Note: Use of Auscultatory SphygMode may be required to meet certain clinical trial protocols. It also can be used to
verify a BP reading if the automated BP results diverge significantly from a patient’s prior history, or if you as the
clinician deem it necessary. Auscultatory SphygMode mimics a traditional sphygmomanometer and does not measure
Systolic or Diastolic blood pressure.

Note: Averaging Measurement Mode can only be used for Automatic BP Measurements. It cannot be used to
automatically average measurements taken in Auscultatory SphygMode.

Single Measurement Mode

This is the device’s default mode. The SunTech CT40 will be in this mode each time it is powered up

Pressing the Home button will revert to single measurement mode.

configured to measure MAP using the Configuration Application. If set up to measure MAP, the MAP and HR
measurements will alternate in 3-second intervals. NOTE: MAP is not available in the U.S.

Step 5: Record Results

When the measurement cycle is complete, values will be displayed for systolic and diastolic pressure, plus heart rate
if BP is selected as the pulse rate source.* Manually record, print and/or digitally save your measurements according
to your healthcare facility’s preferred process. To send results to an EMR or to the device memory, follow the steps in
Section 4.

Step 6: Prepare for New Patient

After all measurements have been recorded or captured, remove the cuff from the patient and clean it according to
your facility’s requirements. This disinfecting and storage step applies to BP cuffs as well as other optional
accessories whose use will be covered in the following sections.

Pressing the Memory Button will clear all patient and measurement data from the display, in addition to
saving the patient and measurement information in memory. It is recommended that the display is cleared before
taking readings on a new patient.

80-0067-00-MO-RevE 2017-05-03 SunTech CT40 User Manual | 23

6. Using SunTech CT40 for Heart Rate Measurement
There are two ways to measure heart rate with the SunTech CT40.

BP Heart Rate Measurement

With this method, HR is captured automatically during BP measurement.

SpO2 Heart Rate Measurement

If you have the optional pulse oximetry module on your device, you can measure HR through the SpO2 sensor. See
next section (section 7) for more on use of this option.

The SunTech CT40 uses BP as the default HR source. HR source can be selected using the Advanced Configuration
Application.

7. Using SunTech CT40 for Pulse Oximetry

An optional SpO2 module allows you to measure the oxygen saturation of arterial bloodflow and display the reading
on the SunTech CT40. There are two different types of optional SpO2 modules: Masimo® SET® and ChipOx.

General Principle of Operation:

The pulse oximeter directs red and infrared light into a capillary bed and measures the change in light absorption
during the pulsatile cycle. Red and infrared light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in oximetry sensors serve as the light
sources, and a photodiode serves as the photo detector.

Traditional pulse oximetry assumes that all pulsations in the light absorbance signal are caused by oscillations in the
arterial blood volume.

The traditional pulse oximeter calculates the ratio of pulsatile absorbance (AC) to the mean absorbance (DC) at each
of two wavelengths (typically one visible, the other infrared). The oximeter then calculates the ratio of these two
arterial absorbance signals. This value is used to find the saturation SpO2 in a standard table built into the oximeter
software. The values in the table are based upon human blood studies against a laboratory co-oximeter on healthy
adult volunteers in induced hypoxia studies. The resulting value is reported as oxygen saturation level (%).

WARNING: Pulse oximeter probes and sensors are designed for use with specific pulse oximeter devices. Only use
probes and extension/adapter cables that are specified for each SpO2 module.

WARNING: The responsible organization and/or operator must verify the compatibility of the oximeter, oximeter
probe, and extension/adapter cable before use. Otherwise, patient injury can result.

WARNING: Misapplication of a pulse oximeter probe with excessive pressure for prolonged periods can induce
pressure injury.

80-0067-00-MO-RevE 2017-05-03 SunTech CT40 User Manual | 24

CAUTION: Inaccurate measurements may be caused by:

Incorrect sensor application or use. Proper sensor use and placement is critical for good performance.

Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins. (e.g., carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin)

Intravascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue.

Dyes or any substance containing dyes that affect light absorption may cause erroneous readings.
• Some nail polish colors (particularly dark shades) or artificial fingernails may reduce light transmission and
affect pulse oximetry accuracy. Remove any nail polish or artificial fingernails before using the SpO2 sensor.

Exposure to excessive illumination, such as surgical lamps (especially ones with a xenon light source), bilirubin
lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, or direct sunlight (exposure to excessive illumination can be
corrected by covering the sensor with a dark or opaque material)

Excessive patient movement.

• Abnormal pulse rhythm.

Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line. Always place
the SpO2 sensor on the arm without a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line.

CAUTION: Pulse rate measurement is based on the optical detection of a peripheral flow pulse and therefore may not
detect certain arrhythmias. The pulse oximeter should not be used as a replacement or substitute for ECG based
arrhythmia analysis.

CAUTION: SpO2 is empirically calibrated to functional arterial oxygen saturation in healthy adult volunteers with
normal levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) and methemoglobin (MetHb). A pulse oximeter cannot measure
elevated levels of COHb or MetHb. Increases in either COHb or MetHb will affect the accuracy of the SpO2
measurement.

CAUTION: COHb levels above normal tend to increase the level of SpO2. The level of increase is approximately equal
to the amount of COHb that is present.

CAUTION: High levels of COHb may occur with a seemingly normal SpO2. When elevated levels of COHb are
suspected, laboratory analysis (CO-Oximetry) of a blood sample should be performed.

CAUTION: For increased MetHb, the SpO2 may be decreased by levels of MetHb of up to approximately 10% to 15%.
At higher levels of MetHb, the SpO2 may tend to read in the low to mid 80s. When elevated levels of MetHb are
suspected, laboratory analysis (CO-Oximetry) of a blood sample should be performed.

CAUTION: Venous congestion may cause under reading of actual arterial oxygen saturation. Therefore, assure proper
venous outflow from monitored site. Sensor should not be below heart level (e.g. sensor on hand of a patient in a bed
with arm dangling to the floor).

CAUTION: Venous pulsations may cause erroneous low readings (e.g. tricuspid value regurgitation).

CAUTION: The pulsations from intra-aortic balloon support can be additive to the pulse rate on the oximeter pulse
rate display. Be sure to verify patient's pulse rate.

CAUTION: Elevated levels of Total Bilirubin may lead to inaccurate SpO2, measurements.

CAUTION: With very low perfusion at the monitored site, the readings may read lower than core arterial oxygen
saturation.

CAUTION: Do not immerse the sensor or patient cable in water or, solvents, or cleaning solutions (The sensors and
connectors are not waterproof).
CAUTION: Loss of pulse signal can occur in any of the following situations:

80-0067-00-MO-RevE 2017-05-03 SunTech CT40 User Manual | 25

The sensor is too tight.

There is excessive illumination from light sources such as a surgical lamp, a bilirubin lamp, or sunlight.

A blood pressure cuff is inflated on the same extremity as the one with a SpO2 sensor attached.

The patient has hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia, or hypothermia.

There is arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor.

The patient is in cardiac arrest or is in shock.

NOTE: See SP02 Sensor Specifications Table on page 45, the range of the peak wavelengths and maximum optical
output power of the light emitted by the pulse oximeter probe, which can be especially useful to clinicians.

NOTE: This device does not include an alarm system that detects an SpO2 or pulse rate physiological alarm condition.
This device is not designed for long-term monitoring and should only be used for spot-check measurements.

System Description:
The SunTech CT40 spot check device with pulse oximetry module consists of a base CT40 device for the display of
SpO2 measurement data and other user information, either a ChipOx or Masimo SET SpO2 module which is attached
to the CT40 base unit as described in Section 2, and the specific reusable pulse oximeter probe and/or cable that
comes packaged with each module. Device setup is described in more detail in Section 2. Both the Masimo® SET and
ChipOx SpO2 modules are calibrated to display functional oxygen saturation (SpO2).

Taking SpO2 Measurements:

1. Insert a finger (preferably the index, middle or ring finger) into the SpO2 sensor until the end of the finger reaches
the finger stop. Do not use the thumb.

2. The fingernail should face the side with the red light. Make sure that long fingernails do not interfere with proper
finger position

3. An SpO2 reading will be displayed after a few seconds. Remove the finger from the SpO2 sensor, and the last
measurement will be displayed and flashed.

4. If the sensor is not removed from the finger, SpO2 readings will be automatically stopped after 10 minutes of
continuous measurement, and the last measurement will be displayed and flashed.

5. To start a new measurement, re-apply the SpO2 sensor to the finger as described in Step 1.

NOTE: If the signal quality from the sensor drops below 90%, no measurement will be displayed in the SpO2 section
, and the percent symbol will begin flashing. Check sensor for correct placement and usage.

Special Notes for Masimo® SET SpO2 module:

NOTE: Possession or purchase of this device does not convey any express or implied license to use the device with
unauthorized sensors or cables which would, alone or in combination with this device, fall within the scope of one or
more of the patents relating to this device.

NOTE: If the accuracy of any measurement does not seem reasonable, first check the patient’s vital signs by alternate
means and the check the MS board pulse oximeter for proper functioning.

NOTE: A functional tester cannot be used to assess the accuracy of a Masimo pulse oximeter sensor or pulse oximeter.
Using Clinical Dynamics SmartSat SpO2 simulator, the device can display the entire range of SpO2 values.

Masimo® Sensors:

Before use, carefully read the M-LNCSTM DCI/DCIP sensor directions for use, which includes cleaning and disinfection
instructions.

80-0067-00-MO-RevE 2017-05-03 SunTech CT40 User Manual | 26

Masimo® M-LNCSTM sensors are provided non-sterile.

Additional Masimo® Information:

In addition to the General Principles of Operation mentioned above, the Masimo® SET® MS board pulse oximeter uses
the following principle:

The MS board decomposes the ratio of pulsatile absorbance (AC) to the mean absorbance (DC) at each of two
wavelengths, 660 nm and 905 nm (S(660) and S(905)) into an arterial signal plus a noise component and calculates
the ratio of the arterial signals without the noise:

S(660) = S1 + N1

S(905) = S2 + N2

R = S1/S2

Again, R is the ratio of two arterial pulse-added absorbance signals and its value is used to find the saturation SpO2 in
an empirically derived equation into the oximeter’s software. The values in the empirically derived equation are based
upon human blood studies against a laboratory co-oximeter on healthy adult volunteers in induced hypoxia studies.

The above equations are combined and a noise reference (N’) is determined:

N’ = S(660) - S(905) x R

If there is no noise N’ = 0: then S(660) = S(905) x R which is the same relationship for the traditional pulse oximeter.
The equation for the noise reference is based on the value of R, the value being sought to determine the SpO2. The
MS board software sweeps through possible values of R that correspond to SpO2 values between 1% and 100% and
generates an N’ value for each of these R-values. The S(660) and S(905) signals are processed with each possible N’
noise reference through an adaptive correlation canceler (ACC) which yields an output power for each possible value
of R (i.e., each possible SpO2 from 1% to 100%). The result is a Discrete Saturation Transform (DST™) plot of relative
output power versus possible SpO2 value as shown in the following figure where R corresponds to SpO2 = 97%:

The DST plot has two peaks: the peak corresponding to the higher saturation is selected as the SpO2 value. This
entire sequence is repeated once every two seconds on the most recent four seconds of raw data. The MS board
SpO2 therefore corresponds to a running average of arterial hemoglobin saturation that is updated every two
seconds.

8. Using SunTech CT40 for Temperature Measurement

The SunTech CT40 has several options for measuring a patient’s body temperature.

Covidien® FILAC® 3000 Thermometry Module

Your device may come equipped with a Covidien® FILAC® 3000 digital thermometer capable of taking an oral, axillary
(under arm) or rectal temperature reading. Your thermometer should come with a blue isolation chamber/probe unit
for taking oral and axillary temperature or with a red isolation chamber/probe unit for taking rectal temperature.

NOTE: Always apply a new probe cover before taking temperature. Do not reuse probe cover. Use only probe covers
designed for use with FILAC® 3000 probes. Using the incorrect probe cover can severely damage the probe and cause
measurement inaccuracies.

NOTE: To change between Celsius and Fahrenheit, press the °C/°F button on the FILAC® 3000 temperature module.
Press again as needed.

80-0067-00-MO-RevE 2017-05-03 SunTech CT40 User Manual | 29

NOTE: After removing the probe from the isolation chamber, the Install/Remove Probe Cover icon will flash to
remind you to apply a new probe cover. A new probe cover must be applied in order to take a measurement.

After you withdraw the probe from the isolation chamber and apply a probe cover, the thermometer begins working
automatically. You will see the Human Thermometry Mode icon illuminated on your display with the appropriate
arrow illuminated (i.e., pointing to the mouth on right side of head for oral temperature taking). Press the Site button
on your thermometer unit to switch between Oral and Axillary mode.

Oral Temperature Taking

Insert the probe tip under the tongue on one side or the other. Ask the patient to close his mouth. Hold the probe in
place until there is a long beep and the temperature reading displays.

Axillary Temperature Taking

With the patient’s arm uplifted, place the probe tip into the patient’s armpit, directly on the skin. Ask the patient to
lower his arm and hold still. Hold the probe perpendicular to the arm until there is a long beep and the temperature
reading displays.

Rectal Temperature Taking

Apply lubricant to the probe cover and insert it gently into the patient’s rectum only one-half inch to three-fourth inch
(12 mm to 19 mm) for adults or one-fourth to one-half inch (6 mm to 13 mm) for children. Hold the probe still until
there is a long beep and the temperature reading displays.

80-0067-00-MO-RevE 2017-05-03 SunTech CT40 User Manual | 30

NOTE: If the temp probe is returned to the probe well before the “long beep” is heard, no temperature measurement will
be displayed.

NOTE: Be sure to eject the used probe cover into an approved bio-hazard container before attempting to place the probe
back in the isolation chamber.

Other FILAC® 3000 Temperature Settings

Your device’s FILAC® 3000 thermometer operates in several different modes.

Quick Mode is an oral predictive measurement mode that provides a fast reading. Quick Mode allows you to rapidly
identify patients with normal body temperatures. If the patient temperature is outside of the “normal” range, the
FILAC® 3000 electronic thermometer will automatically switch into its standard predictive mode in order to provide a
more accurate reading. Quick Mode is indicated by a rabbit icon on the display . Quick Mode is not available
when in Cold Mode or in Direct Mode.

The FILAC® 3000 thermometer normally operates in predictive mode to provide fast and accurate temperature
measurements. However, in instances when no measurement site is detected or the temperature does not stabilize,
the thermometer will automatically switch to Direct Mode . Additionally, the FILAC® 3000 electronic thermometer
will automatically switch into Direct Mode if the ambient temperature is greater than 35°C (95°F). If this happens, you
will hear two short beeps and see the Direct Mode turtle icon appear . This icon will be continuously displayed
whenever the thermometer is functioning in Direct Mode. The Direct Mode auto feature is always functional for both
the Red or Blue isolation chamber/probe combinations.

Cold Mode can be selected if a patient’s body temperature is expected to be lower than normal, such as when he is
coming out of surgery. Cold Mode is activated by pressing the Site Selection button and °C/°F button simultaneously
on the temp module. When selected, the Cold Mode snowflake icon is displayed, and the probe will preheat to
33°C (91°F). The accuracy and measurement time of Cold Mode measurements are equivalent to standard prediction
measurements at the respective body sites.

Touchless Thermometry Module*

If your device comes with the optional touchless thermometry module, you can easily and quickly measure the
patient’s temperature using a touchless infrared temporal thermometer. To use, remove the thermometer from the
holster on the side of the SunTech CT40. Touch the thermometer’s START button to turn on the touchless
thermometer.

On your SunTech CT40 display, you will see the Human Thermometry Mode icon selected with the arrow pointing to

the side of the head . Hold the thermometer probe 2 cm to 3 cm from the patient’s temple and press the START
button on the back of the thermometer. The reading is complete when you hear a beep, and the temperature
measurement will appear on your device display. Place the thermometer back in the device holster.
NOTE: Be sure to wipe away any sweat from the area around the temporal artery, and be sure to remove eyeglasses and
push hair away from measurement site before initiating a measurement.

NOTE: The area just behind the ear lobe can be used as an alternative measurement site to the temporal artery.

NOTE: The SunTech Touchless Thermometer should not be used near sources of heat or cold, such as a heater or air

9. Using SunTech CT40 EMR and Memory Functions

Section 4 “Good to Know Before You Begin” provides some basic information about the SunTech CT40’s EMR and
memory functions. Here are more details about how these work.

Memory Mode

When you power up the unit, the memory identifier appears at the top of the display beside the Memory Icon .
This is the number that will be associated with the next set of measurement results that are sent to the device
memory.

Press the Memory Button on the front of the device to save results to memory. The Memory Icon, check
mark icon and all values that are displayed on the screen (at the time the button is pressed) will flash before the
results are saved. The following values can be saved to memory.

Parameter Name Field Type

Patient ID Alphanumeric Text

Time Stamp Numeric, HH:MM:SS

Date Stamp Numeric, MM.DD.YYYY or DD.MM.YYYY

Memory Location Numeric

Systolic BP Numeric

Diastolic BP Numeric

BP Type Text: AVG or SM

Pulse Rate Numeric

Pulse Rate Source Text: BP or SpO2

80-0067-00-MO-RevE 2017-05-03 SunTech CT40 User Manual | 32

Mean Arterial Pressure Numeric

SpO2 Numeric

Temperature Numeric

Temperature U/M Text: C or F

Temperature Site Text: ORL, AXL, RCT, FHD

NOTE: If a parameter has no data showing at the time the memory button is pressed, then all values for that parameter
will be stored as ‘null’.

To recall measurements from memory:

Press and hold the Memory Button for four seconds on the front of the device .

You will then be able to use the Selection knob to scroll through prior readings

Press the Memory Button or the Home Button to exit memory mode.

Clearing Measurements from Memory

To clear a single measurement from memory:

Press the Selection Knob while in memory mode. The Memory Delete icon and the Check icon will flash, along
with the Memory Identifier number.

Ensure you are viewing the measurement you wish to delete.

Press the Selection Knob to delete that measurement. Or rotate the knob clockwise until the X icon flashes and
press the Selection Knob to cancel the deletion.

To clear all measurement values from memory:

While in Memory Mode, press and hold the Memory Button for less than three seconds, and while holding, then press
the Selection Knob.

The Memory Delete icon and Check icon will flash in sync with the Selection Knob. All other values on the
screen will be blank.

Press the Selection Knob again to delete all measurements, or rotate the knob clockwise until the X icon flashes
and press the Selection Knob to cancel the deletion.

EMR Transmissions
Section 4 covers the basics of sending measurements to EMR. Here are more details.

Validating Patient ID with EMR

Scan the patient’s barcode ID with your barcode scanner. If your SunTech CT40 is connected to an EMR, a verification
query will automatically be sent to the EMR to confirm the validity of the patient ID. If the EMR responds that the

patient ID is valid, then the patient ID icon, field values and Check Icon will flash four times.

If the EMR responds that the Patient ID is invalid, then the Patient icon field, field values and X icon will flash six times
and a message will appear in the Patient ID field indicating that the Patient ID entered is not valid.
NOTE: The Patient ID must be validated by the EMR before any vital signs measurements can be sent to the EMR.

80-0067-00-MO-RevE 2017-05-03 SunTech CT40 User Manual | 33

Sending Measurements to EMR

Sending measurements to an EMR will work only if your SunTech CT40 has been configured to connect to an EMR.

After scanning a valid Patient ID, and taking vital signs measurements, press the Memory Button . The EMR

icon and Check Mark Icon will start flashing. Press the Selection Knob to send the data to the EMR. If

the measurements are delivered to the EMR successfully, you will see the EMR Message Icon and the Check

Mark Icon flash four times.

If the EMR has a problem receiving the measurements, the EMR Message icon and X icon will flash eight
times and you will hear 4 short beeps. You will see a message indicating the nature of the problem, such as:

“Rejected” or “Rejected for an error.” This message occurs when the device is connected to the network but the EMR
rejects the message. A corresponding message will appear in the Patient ID field during a three-second period when

the Message Icon and X icon flash on and off.

“No response (time out).” This message occurs when the device is connected to the network but the EMR is not
responding. It also can occur if network connectivity is lost. If there is a network connection, the SunTech CT40 will
continue to try to transmit the message every 10 seconds. A message in the Patient ID field will alert you that another
attempt to send the message will be made in 10 seconds. If network connectivity is lost, you will see a corresponding
message in the Patient ID field, and the device will continue trying to reestablish a connection and send the
measurements at intervals set during EMR setup. If problems persist, you may wish to contact your facility’s
information technology department. As a backup, the patient’s measurements are saved in the device memory when
the memory button was pressed, and can be retrieved using the procedure detailed in the beginning of Section 9.
Note: After the memory button is pressed, all values to be stored to memory will flash off and on twice, along with the
check mark icon, memory icon and memory location identifier. After flashing, the display will revert to null values for the
patient ID and all measurement data, and the check mark icon will flash off and on twice more.

10. Taking Care of SunTech CT40

13. Frequently Asked Questions

What is the expected battery life for the SunTech CT40?

When batteries are fully charged, the SunTech CT40 is designed to run on internal battery power for 120
measurement cycles (BP, temperature and SpO2 measurements) before requiring recharge. When only the bottom
segment of the battery symbol is illuminated, there is between 11 percent and 40 percent battery power remaining.

Will the device automatically power down?

When no measurements have been taken or buttons pressed for one hour, the device will automatically power-down
and enter the low-power state and is considered “off.”

What is the significance of different beeps I hear during operation?

One long beep (approximately 3-second beep): Successful end of BP measurement.

Three long beeps: Severe hardware error.

One short beep (1-second beep): Power-up or Power-down complete.

Four short beeps: There has been an error.

If you abort a BP measurement by pressing the Start/Stop button, you will hear one short beep. Then after the
pressure has been completely dumped from the cuff, you will hear one long beep.

Can pulse oximetry, temperature measurement, a barcode scanner or printer be added later too?

Yes, you can add vital signs modules and accessories to the SunTech CT40 at any time.

Can EMR connectivity be established at a later date if not enabled as part of initial configuration?

Yes, EMR settings can be accessed via the Advanced Configuration Application at any time.

80-0067-00-MO-RevE 2017-05-03 SunTech CT40 User Manual | 41

Why is no heart rate data showing on the display?

If the device is configured to use the Sp02 sensor as the pulse rate source, and the sensor is not attached to the
patient, there will not be heart rate data on the display. Only dashes will appear, or MAP results if MAP measurement
is enabled. Note that MAP is not available in the United States.

How many measurements can be stored in the SunTech CT40 memory?

The SunTech CT40 can store 99 unique sets of measurements. After the 99th measurement has been saved, the next
measurement will have the Memory Location Identifier label “01” and will overwrite the most recent measurement
(measurement 99). After all results are cleared from the memory, the Memory Location Identifier also will return to
“01.”

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in
metres (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the
maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.

NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and
reflection from structures, objects and people.

Notes on Blood Pressure Data

Any blood pressure reading can be affected by the measurement site, the position of the patient, exercise, or the
patient’s physiologic condition. Environmental or operational factors which can affect the performance of the device
and/or its blood pressure reading are pacemakers and common arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature
beats or atrial fibrillation, arterial sclerosis, poor perfusion, diabetes, age, pregnancy, pre-clampsia, renal diseases,
patient motion, trembling, and shivering.
