  • Page 12: Introduction

    III. Introduction A. Indications for Use The 920 Hand Held Pulse Oximeter is intended to be used for monitoring oxygen saturation and pulse rate for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients in hospital, ambulatory, home, and EMS environments. The 920 may be used for spot checking and/or continuous monitoring when attended by a healthcare professional.

    Green indicates the pulse waveform signal is of good quality and SpO data is accurate. • The 920 may interpret motion artifact of CAUTION sufficient amplitude and regularity as good perfusion (green).
  • Page 24: Flashing Display

    Flashing Display The numerical displays will flash once each second if the 920 determines that a battery low condition exists. Replace all six batteries immediately. NOTE: Inaccurate SpO and/or pulse rate measurement may result if the 920 is operated in a low battery condition.

    Detector Cathode, +5 V Table III: Printer/Sensor interface assignments. The information from the 920 in the real-time mode is sent in an ASCII serial format at 9600 baud with 9 data bits, 1 start bit, and 1 stop bit, odd parity. The data is output at a rate of once per second.
  • Page 26: Memory Option (920M Only)

    D. Memory Option (920M only) The memory option is identified by the “M” in the model number (i.e., 920M as opposed to the 920). This model number is located just above the serial number on the back of the unit. The 920M Pulse Oximeter can collect and store up to eighteen hours of SpO and pulse rate information.

    Respironics sensors do not contain natural rubber latex. A. General Sensor Description The 920 features sensors which are ideal for nearly every application. Refer to Tables V and VI for a complete list of Respironics sensors and specific information on each sensor. Each sensor is designed for a specific site application and specific patient size and weight range.
  • Page 30 They are not recommended for applications where the best possible SpO accuracy is important. The reusable sensors must be secured to the NOTE: ® patient using either Velcro -type straps or medical tapes. Respironics Tape Strips or Hydrogel Tape Strips are recommended to stabilize the reusable sensors.

  • Page 32: Finger Clip Sensors

    Finger Clip Sensors NOTE: For the best results, secure the sensor cable independently from the sensor, preferably around the base of the finger. Make sure that the tape securing the cable does not restrict the blood flow. NOTE: If the patient's finger is too small or the sensor is not adjusted properly, light may bypass the tissue and result in SpO inaccuracies.
  • Page 33: Flex Sensors

    C. Flex Sensors NOTE: For optimum light transmission, attach the sensor on the finger or toe. For best results, secure the cable independently from the sensor. Make sure that the tape securing the cable does not restrict the blood flow. NOTE: Ensure sensor placement is positioned such that no stray light bypasses the tissue or SpO...
  • Page 34: Infant Flex Sensor

    2. Infant Flex Sensor The preferred sensor site for infants is on the NOTE: big toe. This placement provides increased light transmission compared to the foot placement. Refer to Table V for approximate size requirements for infant sensors. The Infant Flex Sensor is designed for continuous monitoring of infants where finger tip monitoring is impractical.
  • Page 35: Ear Clip And Reflectance Sensors

    Attach the sensor by wrapping the tape or sensor wrap over the sensor assembly snugly, but not so tight as to restrict blood flow. For best results, secure cable independently from the sensor, preferably around patient's ankle or lower leg. Make sure the tape securing the cable does not restrict blood flow.
  • Page 36: Reflectance Sensor

    2. Reflectance Sensor The Reflectance Sensor is for use on well-vascularized skin surfaces. For adults, this will usually be the center of the forehead slightly above and between the eyebrows. The Sensor Holder provides the precise pressure this sensor needs against the skin.

    Respironics does not recommend field repair of the 920 Hand Held Pulse Oximeter. The circuit board in the 920 series is a multi- layer board using traces 0.01” wide. Due to the very small trace size, extreme care must be used when replacing components to prevent permanent non-repairable damage to the circuit board.
