1.1 MANUAL OVERVIEW
This manual contains information for servicing the NPB-40 handheld pulse
oximeter. Only qualified service personnel should service this product. Before
servicing the NPB-40, read the operator’s manual carefully for a thorough
understanding of how to operate the NPB-40.
1.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The Nellcor Puritan Bennett NPB-40 handheld pulse oximeter is used for
noninvasive spot-check measurement of functional oxygen saturation of
arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate (measured by the SpO2 sensor).
The NPB-40 is for attended monitoring only, and must be used in the
continuous presence of a qualified healthcare provider. The NPB-40 can be
used on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. It can be used in mobile
environments when protected from excessive moisture such as direct rainfall.
The NPB-40 is powered by four “AA” cell alkaline batteries. An external
Hewlett-Packard HP82240B printer can be used with the NPB-40 to printout
readings stored in the NPB-40 memory. This printer is available from Nellcor
Puritan Bennett. The NPB-40 handheld pulse oximeter is illustrated in
Figure 1-1.

front panel as shown in Figure 1-2. Refer to the NPB-40 operator’s manual
for complete operating instructions.
