Pulse Oximetry Subsystem Features
BASIC OPERATION
1. Place the interface/powerbase on a flat, stable surface.
Align the N-200 with the interface/powerbase. Push the
N-200 straight in until its latches engage.
Note:
2. Plug in the power cord to the N-200 power inlet and to an
outlet supplying the appropriate mains voltage. Use only
an outlet that has a grounding connection and the original
hospital-grade plug and cord or an equivalent hospital-
grade plug and cord. If in doubt about the integrity of the
grounding of the mains supply connection, the unit must be
operated from its internal battery.
The N-200 can operate on battery power. Typically, a new
fully charged battery will provide 90 minutes of operation.
Age and usage will affect battery performance. The
interface/powerbase operates only on AC power.
3. Align the red dot on the patient module connector with the
red dot on the patient module connection socket. Push the
connector straight in until it locks; do not twist. Use only
NELLCOR C-13-200, C-20-200, or C-13-200M patient
modules.
4. If using C-LOCKECG synchronization, provide an
appropriate ECG signal. See "C-LOCK ECG
Synchronization" later in this section for instructions.
5. Apply an appropriate NELLCOR sensor in accordance with
its Directions for Use. Plug the sensor into the patient
module. With a C-13-200M patient module, close the sensor
lock over the plug.
The manual applies to all N-200 monitors and
powerbases having software versions 2.7.3 or
higher (see "Determining Software Version" in the
Maintenance section).
