SRC-MAX Operation with a Pulse Oximeter or Monitor The technician must perform the test setup procedure before performing tests 1 through 4. The following is a brief description of each test: • Test Setup — This procedure establishes the baseline for all the other tests. The Test Setup procedure must be performed before performing any or all of the SRC-MAX tests.
SRC-MAX Operation with a Pulse Oximeter or Monitor Figure 7: DOC-10 Sensor Cable 3. Connect the SRC-MAX Sp0 sensor/cable connector to other end of the DOC-10 cable or applicable OEM cable. See Figure 8. Figure 8: SpO sensor/cable connector 4. Turn on the pulse oximeter or monitor. Refer to the applicable pulse oximeter or monitor operator’s manual.
SRC-MAX Operation with a Pulse Oximeter or Monitor Pulse/Beats per Minute Light Level % Sp0 Percent Modulation 8. The SRC-MAX is ready to test the pulse oximeter or monitor. Test 1: BPM (Beats per minute) The BPM test checks the pulse oximeter or monitor beats per minute operation at 60 and 200 BPM.
SRC-MAX Operation with a Pulse Oximeter or Monitor Test 2: Saturation (Sp0 The saturation test checks the operation of the pulse oximeter or monitor percent of blood oxygen saturation at 75% and 90%. Prerequisite Procedure — Test Setup on page 12. 1.
SRC-MAX Operation with a Pulse Oximeter or Monitor 4. The Modulation LED indicator on the SRC-MAX will switch from the low (arrow down) value and illuminate the high value (arrow up). 5. The Plethysmographic waveform or blip bar on the pulse oximeter or monitor display will increase in amplitude within a few seconds.
R o u t i n e M a i n t e n a n c e Note: In this manual, pulse oximeters refer to Nellcor technology-based pulse oximeters and monitors refer to OEM O technology-based monitors. Cleaning Caution: Do not spray, pour or spill any liquid on the SRC-MAX, its accessories, connectors, or openings in the chassis.
Routine Maintenance Battery Replacement Figure 9: Battery Compartment Access Press and slide the battery compartment door down to expose the batteries. See Figure 9, above. The SRC-MAX requires two AA alkaline batteries. The unit will run continuously for a minimum of 45 hours with a new set of batteries.
Page 25
Routine Maintenance The Low Battery Indicator LED will illuminate and blink when the voltage drops below 1.75 volts. There is approximately 15 minutes of use after first indication of low battery LED. It is recommended to cease operation as soon as possible and replace the batteries in the SRC-MAX.
P e r f o r m a n c e Ve r i f i c a t i o n Note: In this manual, pulse oximeters refer to Nellcor technology-based pulse oximeters and monitors refer to OEM O technology-based monitors.
Performance Verification • Signal/Function Generator, able to deliver 0 to ±5 volts peak-to-peak at 1,000 Hz, 100 mA • Pulse oximeter or monitor • ECG monitor (RA, LA, LL) LED Current to Photodetector Current Test Note: The initial setting on the Signal Generator is 1000 Hz, Square wave, 0 to 5 volts peak-to-peak.
Performance Verification Testing the RED LED 1. Turn on the signal generator. 2. Adjust the output until there is 475 to 525 millivolts peak across the 10 ohm resistor. 3. Connect one end of a 1 meg ohm resistor (R2 in Figure 11) to pin 9 of the 9 pin D-sub female connector.
Performance Verification Figure 12: RED LED Low Light Setting Note: This figure and the following waveform figures represent typical measurements. The actual measured waveforms may vary in amplitude and scale. 9. Select the High Light setting on the SRC-MAX. Measure the peak-to-peak voltage across the 1 meg ohm resistor on Channel 2 of the oscilloscope.
Performance Verification Figure 13: RED LED High Light Setting Note: The peak-to-peak voltage tolerance includes a possible probe impedance error. Testing the IR LED 1. Turn on the signal generator. 2. Adjust the signal generator output until there is -475 to - 525 millivolts peak across the 10 ohm resistor (R1 in Figure 11).
Performance Verification Figure 14: IR LED Low Light Setting Note: The peak-to-peak voltage tolerance includes a possible probe impedance error. 5. Select the High Light Setting on the SRC-MAX. 6. Measure the peak-to-peak voltage across the 1 meg ohm resistor on Channel two of the Oscilloscope. The peak-to- peak voltage should be 2.4 to 3.6 volts peak-to-peak.
Performance Verification Figure 15: IR LED High Light Setting Note: The peak-to-peak voltage tolerance includes a possible probe impedance error. BPM (Beats per Minute) Test Equipment Required • Pulse oximeter or monitor • Oscilloscope • Sub-mini 3/32” phone plug (Tip = signal, Sleeve = ground) Setup 1.
Performance Verification 4. Connect the oscilloscope positive lead to the phone plug’s tip and the ground to the sleeve. 5. Adjust the oscilloscope for 3 volts peak-to-peak at 1 Hz. See Figure 16. Figure 16: 3 Volts Peak-to-Peak at 3 Hz Note: The period of the signal should be 0.96 to 1.04 seconds.
Performance Verification Figure 17: 200 BPM 9. The period of the signal should be 0.27 to 0.33 seconds. 10. The pulse width of the signal should be 50 to 100 milliseconds. BPM Test (Alternate Method) Equipment Required: • Pulse oximeter or monitor •...
