1.5. Main Features of the PPM3

The Nightingale PPM3 connects to a patient and monitors the patient's vital signs.
The PPM3 contains the hardware and software needed to perform complex data
gathering and signal processing tasks that allow it to produce accurate and reliable
measurements of physiological parameters. The patient's physiological signals
and parameters are shown as waveforms and numbers on the PPM3 display. The
PPM3 can be set up to generate an alarm when a physiological parameter goes
beyond a preset limit.
The PPM3 can also connect to a Nightingale MPC central monitoring station and
send the waveform and parameter information to the MPC. An operator at the
MPC can then see the waveforms and parameters, and can respond in case there is
an alarm (such as HR getting too high).
The chapters in this User's Guide explain the details of all the main features of the
PPM3. These cover the basic monitoring tasks you may need to do when using
the PPM3. The main features covered in this User's Guide are as follows:
• ECG and Heart Rate Monitoring (HR)
• Respiration Monitoring (RR)
• Pulse Oximetry Monitoring (SpO
• Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring (NBP)
• CO
/Capnography Monitoring (ETCO

• Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring (P1 and P2)
• Temperature Monitoring (TEMP)
• Connecting to the Nightingale MPC
• Managing Alarms
• Working With Menus
• Viewing Trends
• Standby Mode
• Battery Functions
In addition, a chapter at the end of this User's Guide includes information about
troubleshooting (what to do if you have a problem with the PPM3). Other
chapters at the end of this User's Guide discuss topics such as accessories for the
PPM3, how to clean the PPM3, and maintenance, storage, and technical
information for the PPM3.
