Chapter 1: Introduction Warnings, Cautions, and Notes WARNING! Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by, or on the order of, a physician. WARNING! This device is not intended for continuous patient monitoring. This device is intended to measure the patient’s %SpO and pulse rate values.
Page 13
Chapter 1: Introduction WARNING! IEC 950 approved equipment must be placed outside of the “patient environment.” The patient environ- ment is defined as an area 1.5 m (4.92 feet) from the patient. Figure 1-1: Patient Environment WARNING! When attaching sensors with Microfoam® tape, do not stretch the tape or attach the tape too tightly.

Chapter 1: Introduction NOTE! Operation of this device may be adversely affected in the presence of computed tomograph (CT) equipment. NOTE! Use only SpO sensors supplied with, or specifi- cally intended for use with, this device. NOTE! SpO measurements may be adversely affected in the presence of high ambient light.
Chapter 2: General Description Chapter 2: General Description Intended Use The oximeter provides fast, reliable SpO and pulse rate measurements. It can be used in the hospital or clinical environment, and during emergency air or land transport. The oximeter will operate accurately over an ambient temperature range of 32 to 131°...

Chapter 2: General Description PULSE STRENGTH BARGRAPH The eight-segment bar graph “sweeps” with the patient’s pulse beat, indi- cating pulse strength. The bar graph is logarithmically scaled to indicate a wide range of pulse strengths. R and Q KEYS Press “R” to turn on the oximeter. Press “Q” to turn off the oximeter. While the oximeter is on, momentarily pressing the “R”...
Chapter 2: General Description Theory of Operation The oximeter determines SpO and pulse rate by passing two wavelengths of light, one red and one infrared, through body tissue to a photodetector. During measurement, the signal strength resulting from each light source depends on the color and thickness of the body tissue, the sensor place- ment, the intensity of the light sources, and the absorption of the arterial and venous blood (including the time varying effects of the pulse) in the...
Chapter 3: Using the Oximeter Chapter 3: Using the Oximeter Unpack the Oximeter Carefully remove the oximeter and its accessories from the shipping car- ton. Save the packing materials in case the oximeter must be shipped or stored. Compare the packing list with the supplies and equipment you received to make sure you have everything you’ll need.
Chapter 3: Using the Oximeter Installing or Replacing the Batteries 1. Turn over the oximeter so its back is facing you. 2. Push on the thumb grip and slide the door open. 3. If you are replacing the batteries, remove the old batteries from the battery compartment.
Chapter 3: Using the Oximeter Care and Handling of Sensor WARNING! Misuse or improper handling of the sensor and cable could result in damaging the sensor. This may cause inaccurate readings. Hold the connector rather than the cable when connecting or disconnecting the finger sensor to the oximeter as shown in figure 3-3.

Chapter 3: Using the Oximeter Attach the Sensor to the Patient WARNING! Prolonged use or the patient’s condition may require changing the sensor site periodically. Change sen- sor site and check skin integrity, circulatory status, and correct alignment at least every 4 hours. WARNING! When attaching sensors with Microfoam®...
Chapter 3: Using the Oximeter Attach the Sensor to the Oximeter • Attach the sensor connector to the oximeter’s PATIENT CABLE/ SENSOR connector. • If you need the extra length of the patient cable, attach the sensor to the patient cable, then attach the patient cable to the oximeter’s PATIENT CABLE/SENSOR connector.

Chapter 3: Using the Oximeter Patient Numbers and Spot Check Data Whenever the oximeter is on, it stores one SpO and pulse rate reading every thirty (30) seconds. The stored readings are called spot check data. The oximeter remembers spot check data for up to ninety-nine (99) patients and seventeen (17) hours of run-time.
Chapter 3: Using the Oximeter Turning Off the Oximeter Press the “Q” key to turn off the oximeter. The oximeter turns off automatically two minutes after the sensor is removed from the patient or after the sensor is disconnected from the oximeter.
Chapter 4: Printer and Computer Interface Chapter 4: Printer and Computer Interface Computer Interface Description The oximeter can transfer stored data to a PC. Information Data Log and Spot Checks will be displayed/saved to a file in the format as shown in the Spot Check Printouts section of this manual.

Chapter 4: Printer and Computer Interface 4. Using the PC adapter cable (part #3339), connect the 9-pin connector of the PC adapter cable to the COM port on the PC as shown in figure 4-1. Connect to Cable (catalog # 3350) Oximeter Printer Adapter Cable (catalog # 3339)
Chapter 4: Printer and Computer Interface Spot Check Printouts Collecting Spot Check Data Whenever the oximeter is on, it stores one SpO and pulse rate reading every thirty (30) seconds. The stored readings are called spot check data. The oximeter remembers spot check data for up to ninety-nine (99) patients and seventeen (17) hours of run-time.
Chapter 4: Printer and Computer Interface Printing Spot Check Data 1. Set up the oximeter and the printer as previously described. 2. Disconnect the SpO sensor from the oximeter. 3. Turn on the printer. 4. Turn on the oximeter. The oximeter prints the spot check data for each patient, from patients 1-99, as shown in the...
Chapter 5: Operator’s Maintenance Chapter 5: Operator’s Maintenance Batteries When about two hours of battery use time remains, the left-most bar graph segment lights. The oximeter will continue to operate normally until the batteries no longer have sufficient power to operate the oximeter. At that point, the oximeter automatically turns off.
Chapter 5: Operator’s Maintenance Disposable Sensors Disposable sensors are for single-patient use only. Disposable sensors can be repositioned on the same patient as long as the correct SpO and pulse rate values are shown after repositioning. Disposable sensors cannot be cleaned or repaired;...

Chapter 9: Service Maintenance and Repair Internal timer 1 of U11 is used as a tone generator to drive piezo speaker through connector J5. Analog Section Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) U6 is a 12 bit, successive approxima- tion sampling ADC. The ADC+IN signal input comes from TP22. VREF is used here as a pseudo ground.
Chapter 9: Service Maintenance and Repair The differential photo amplifier formed by U1 and U3A, converts the pho- todetector’s current output to a voltage at T10 (VAMB). Amplifier U3B offsets the signal at T10 allowing a wider signal range. Comparator U9B is used to inform the microprocessor if U3A is saturated by an excess of ambient light.
