The DAS system block diagram with Masimo SET SPO2 and four
SuperStat BP channels consists of the following three sections.
Parameter functions of the DAS with Masimo SET SPO2,
four BP channels and Dinamap SuperSTAT NIBP
Except for the SPO2 parameter and additional 2 IBPs, the DAS with the
Masimo SET SPO2 parameter supports the same parameters as DAS
with the GE Ohmeda SPO2 parameter. Refer to “ECG” on page 2-20.
Probes and cable
The Masimo compatible DAS is intended for use exclusively with pulse-
oximetry probes from Masimo Corporation. An adapter cable is used to
interface the probes to the DAS front panel Nicolay connector. The
Nicolay connector utilizes a key pattern unique to Masimo.
