Taking Average Measurements - Dräger JM-103 Instructions Manual

Taking Average Measurements

1. Set the number of average measurements needed.
2. Ensure that the Ready lamp is
illuminated once n-5 appears.
NOTE:
n-5 is used in the steps below as an
example. The number of measurements
you require and set is the number that
should appear in the display.
NOTE:
Each measurement must be taken
individually by the user. The first measurement is complete when the
measuring probe is pressed against the patient and the unit clicks. The
probe must then be lifted from the patient and reapplied for the total
number of measurements selected (in this example, five measurements).
WARNING:
This instrument emits intense light to take its measurements.
Take measurements at the sternum or forehead in hospital
applications or at the sternum only in doctors' office applications.
Do not press the measuring probe when it is directed toward the
infant's or caregiver's eyes. Damage to the eyes could occur.
NOTE:
It is recommended that all of the measurements taken for averaging be
taken from the same measuring point—sternum (at hospital sites or
physicians' offices) or forehead (at hospital sites only).
3. Place the measuring probe vertically
on the measuring point, and then apply
gentle pressure until the probe clicks.
• The measurement will be taken,
and the number of remaining
measurements will be displayed.
