    System Processing Description 10.3 ECG Processing The measurement of the skin surfaces electrocardiogram is based on the electrical signals on the skin surface, produced as the heart muscle contracts and relaxes. The signals are detected by electrodes placed on the patient body. The information on heart activity carried by these signals varies with the placing of the electrodes.
  • Page 95 System Processing Description Oscillometric Response Distole Systole (Pressure Pulses) TIME Systole Cuff Pressure Distole TIME Overall Accuracy Discussion Overall system accuracy shall be determined by considering various influences of the pressure sensor accuracy, motion artifacts, other artifact created by pressure valve, technical errors of electrical components, and the origin error of oscillometric method.

Red and infrared low-voltage light-emitting diodes (LED) in the oximetry sensor serve as light sources; a photo diode serves as the photo detector. Because oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin differ in light absorption, the amount of red and infrared light absorbed by blood is related to hemoglobin oxygen saturation.

    = × 100 100 – (%carboxyhemoglobin + %methemoglobin) OxiMax Technology The N5500 SpO monitoring is designed to use Nellcor brand sensors, which integrate the technology. These sensors can be identified by their deep blue plug color. All sensors contain a memory chip carrying information about the sensor which the monitor needs for correct operation, including the sensor’s calibration data,...

    System Processing Description pair of electrodes is determined by dividing the voltage difference between the two electrodes by the current that passes between them. When the electrodes are placed on the actual structure, respective structures change. A low-level excitation signal is applied to these leads, and the variation of the thoracic impedance caused by the breathing is sensed and processed for display and measurement.
