Section 1 — Introduction Description The 506N3 Series patient monitor is a compact vital signs monitor that measures heart rate and non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP). Heart rate measurement is determined primarily by the plethysmographic waveform. For units without the oximeter module,...
This equipment is intended for use only by qualified medical providers in conjunction with established medical protocols. All models in the 506N3 series are designed to monitor physiological parameters of patients, providing the health care provider with physiological data, alarms, and trend records.
Section 1 —Introduction Non-Invasive Blood The 506N3 Series monitor uses ComfortCuff technology to ™ determine non-invasive blood pressure by means of oscillometry. The Pressure (NIBP) oscillometric method detects volume displacements within the artery and senses pressure variations within the blood pressure cuff during inflation.
Cuff deflates rapidly after monitor determines systolic pressure Time Pulse Waveform (Measured from B.P. Cuff Pressure Fluctuation) Systolic Diastolic Mean Pressure Pressure Pressure Figure 1-1: NIBP Cuff Pressure and Pulse over Time Page 1-4 VitalCare 506N3 Series Service Manual Criticare Systems, Inc.
The monitor continues to look for valid SpO based heart rate measurements and attempts a second NIBP measurement if the first attempt fails. Pulse Oximetry The 506N3 Series monitor is available with Digital Oximetry (DOX ™ technology to measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO Measurement (SpO Definition Hemoglobin exists in the blood in several forms: •...

The accuracy specifications of this device will not be met with high concentrations of dyshemoglobins. Significant concentrations of carboxyhemoglobin results in a higher displayed value than is actually present in the patient. Page 1-6 VitalCare 506N3 Series Service Manual Criticare Systems, Inc.
Section 1 —Introduction Nellcor Pulse Oximetry ® The 506N3 Series monitor is also available with Nellcor OxiMax technology to measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO Measurement (SpO Definition The Nellcor OxiMax uses pulse oximetry to measure functional oxygen saturation in the blood. Pulse oximetry works by applying an OxiMax sensor to a pulsating arteriolar vascular bed, such as a finger or toe.
Section 1 —Introduction Temperature The 506N3 Series monitor is available with an optional temperature ® ® module utilizing either FILAC FasTemp or Alaris™ (IVAC) ® TurboTemp technology. Two modes are available: Predictive and Continuous. Predictive Mode The default mode is Predictive Mode. This allows the thermometer to predict the end point that the thermistor would reach if it were left in the mouth until it reached mouth temperature.
