MONITORING SYSTEM (continued)
Breathing System Sensor Interface Panel
A panel of four sensor connections is provided
on the lower left side of the NARKOMED 3
(Figure 17). These connections pertain to the
patient breathing system and thus are
mounted close to the absorber assembly. The
O
MED sensor cord leads from the O
2
sensor (mounted in the inspiratory valve) and
plugs into a pin-type connector on the panel.
The BAROMED breathing pressure pilot line
leads from either the absorber (shorter pilot
line) or the Y-piece (longer pilot line) and
plugs into a quick-connect fitting on the
panel. The SPIROMED sensor cord leads
from the SPIROMED sensor on the absorber
top dome to a pin-type connector on the panel.
The MULTISPEC exhaust line leads from a
hose barb fitting on the panel to an adapter
on the scavenger system.
Patient Sensor Interface Panel
A panel of four sensor connections is provided
on the upper left side of the NARKOMED 3
monitoring bank (Figure 17). The O
incorporates an interface cable/preamplifier
assembly that mounts on the boom arm and
plugs into a pin-type connector on the panel.
The MULTISPEC sample line leads from a
15 mm sample adapter at the Y-piece to a
Luer lock fitting on the semi-permeable
tubing, which then connects to the sample
line interface panel. The SPHYGMOMED cuff
extension hose leads from the blood pressure
cuff to a threaded hose connection on the
p a n e l .
T h e
o p t i o n a l
sphygmomanometer hose connections occupy
the bottom slot on the interface panel and are
intended for the gauge hose and the cuff
extension hose.

Boom Arm (Optional)
An optional boom arm can be mounted on the
left side of the monitoring bank. Patient
sensor lines (O
sample line, SPHYGMOMED cuff extension
hose) can be routed from the patient to the
MED
anesthesia machine in an organized fashion
2
with the boom arm. The arm can be adjusted
to the desired position to retain the lines in
the most convenient position.
System Communications
Although designed to operate independently,
each
communications capabilities, allowing it to
become a component of a structured and
organized anesthesia Data Management
System. This system approach allows other
devices in the system to analyze, display, and
record the data and alarm conditions from
any monitor.
Alarm Strategy
SATMED
2
The monitoring system has been designed to
support a uniform and structured alarm
strategy. This strategy solves a major problem
in the operating room today — the confusion
caused by simultaneous audible and visual
alarms from a variety of independent devices.
The structured alarm strategy is based on the
centralization of visual alarm indicators and
the interlocking of audible alarm signals.
"Interlocking" coordinates the alarm signals of
m a n u a l
the various monitors that make up the
monitoring system so that only the sound of
the highest priority, currently active alarm is
annunciated, while all others are suppressed.
