The clock continues with 13:00:00 representing 1:00 p.m. - Page 6 Frequency A measurement of alternating current (AC) electricity that indicates how often the current reverses direction and returns to its original direction each second. The unit of measurement is the hertz (Hz). To operate or charge its battery, the monitoring system requires power from a wall outlet providing 100-240 Volts AC (VAC) at a frequency of 50/60 Hz (hertz).
- Page 7 Sensor An accessory used to collect and send patient information to the monitoring system. The sensor collects measurements by detecting the patient’s pulse rate and amount of of oxygen in the blood and sending this information to the monitoring system. Sensor Site The place on the patient’s body where the sensor is applied, such as a finger, toe, ear lobe, or forehead.
