2 Theory of Operation
2.1 Introduction
This pulse oximeter is designed to monitor or measure the oxygen saturation and pulse rate of
single adult, pediatric and neonatal patient.
The pulse oximeter also:
Presents audible and visual alarms in case of patient or equipment problems.
Enables the real-time displaying, reviewing, storing and exporting of SpO
2
and PR
values.
Supports Pitch Tone, which means the pitch of pulse tone rises as the oxygen saturation
level increases and falls as the oxygen saturation level decreases.
Operates on either alkaline batteries or a lithium-ion battery.
Offers wired or wireless communication with a personal computer.
2.2 System Connections
2.2.1 Mounting the Pulse Oximeter
The pulse oximeter can be mounted on a wall bracket or on a trolley support. The wall
bracket or trolley support can be ordered optionally. Each type of mounting bracket is
delivered with a complete set of mounting hardware and instructions for use. To install the
pulse oximeter, refer to the instrutions for installation.
CAUTION
z Use mounting brackets we supply or approve. If other compatible mounting
bracket is used, be sure it can be safely applied to the pulse oximeter.
z The mounting bracket should be installed by our qualified service personnel, or
mechanical engineers who have adequate knowledge on it.
z If other mounting solution is used, the installation personnel and the customer
should verify if it can be safely applied to the pulse oximeter, and the customer
assume the responsibility for any risk resulting from that.
