MONITORING SYSTEM
O
SATMED Pulse Oximeter
2
The O
SATMED pulse oximeter uses a
2
spectrophotometric
infrared
sensor to noninvasively measure arterial
hemoglobin oxygen saturation. The unit
displays either percent SpO
operator can set both high and low alarm
limits for SpO
and pulse rate with adjustment

keys. Alarms are also provided for an absence
of pulse (no pulse at the sensor for 10 seconds)
and disconnection of the sensor cable. A
detailed description and operating instructions
can be found in the O
Instruction Manual.
SPHYGMOMED Noninvasive Blood Pressure
Monitor
The SPHYGMOMED employs oscillometric
means to determine the patient's systolic, dias-
tolic, and mean blood pressure (mean arterial
pressure) and pulse rate. The unit also
displays the interval between measurements,
instantaneous cuff pressure, and sample age.
The operator can set high and low alarm limits
for systolic blood pressure with adjustment
keys. Alarms are also provided for several self-
diagnostic conditions, including improper cuff
set-up, cuff disconnection, and internal
malfunction. A detailed description and
operating instructions can be found in the
SPHYGMOMED
Operator's
Manual.
Manual Sphygmomanometer (Optional)
An aneroid manual sphygmomanometer can
be mounted on the NARKOMED 3 (see Figure
16).
The sphygmomanometer gauge mounts on the
left-hand side of the anesthesia machine, above
the ventilator bellows, either on a mount on
the machine itself or on the underside of the
optional boom arm.

To install the gauge, tighten the gauge's
threaded
mounting ring in a clockwise
direction over the gauge mount. Then, attach
the fitting on the free end of the gauge hose to
the fitting labeled "BP GAUGE" on the upper
left side of the anesthesia machine.
To install the blood pressure cuff, first attach
the short hose on the cuff to the longer
extension hose. The two hoses join with Luer
lock fittings. Then, attach the free end of the
extension hose to the fitting labeled "BP
CUFF" on the patient interface panel.
The Manual Sphygmomanometer uses the
same

pressure
SPHYGMOMED noninvasive blood pressure
monitor. Some users may prefer to use one cuff
for both the SPHYGMOMED and Manual
Sphygmomanometer by switching the cuff
extension hose from the SPHYGMOMED
interface panel fitting to the identical "BP
CUFF" fitting below it on the interface panel.
To install the cuff inflation bulb, insert the
male Luer fitting (slip-fit type) on the bulb
hose into the female Luer fitting (labeled "BP
BULB") to the right of the O2 flush button on
the front of the anesthesia machine.
After installation, check the gauge's pressure
indication. With zero pressure applied to the
gauge and cuff, the gauge pointer should
remain within the band marked on the face
plate. The gauge accuracy is ±1 % of full scale
within a range of 75-225 mm Hg and ±3% of
full scale outside of this range.
To check the manual sphygmomanometer for
leaks, place the blood pressure cuff around a
rigid cylindrical object of approximately the
same diameter as a human arm. Inflate the
cuff to a pressure of 250 mm Hg, as indicated
on the sphygmomanometer gauge.
