2.4. How to Connect the PPM3 to the Patient

To connect the PPM3 to the patient requires special instructions depending on

which signals and parameters you are monitoring. Please refer to the chapter for

each signal for instructions about how to make the connection to monitor that

signal.

WARNING – Check the PPM3 and its accessories for cracks, abrasive

edges and other signs of damage before applying sensors to the

patient.

For any patient connections you made, you should have already verified that the

waveform displayed on the PPM3 shows that the connection was good. When

connected to the MPC, you should verify that the patient name is displayed in the

name area of the PPM3 Main Screen. If the patient's name is too long to fit in this

area, you should verify that the patient's initials are displayed.

Before leaving the patient, make sure that the PPM3, the PPM3 Power Supply,

and all the cables are secure and not hanging in a way that would be hazardous to

the patient or to someone caring for the patient.

WARNING – Always make sure that the correct patient name is

displayed in the PPM3 name area when connected to the MPC. This

is to avoid any chance of mistaking the signals and parameters from

one patient with the signals and parameters from another patient at

the central monitoring station.
