1 Introduction to the Instrument
Objectives
In order to meet this chapter’s goals, you should become familiar with the Monitor,
Measurement Server and the Measurement Server Extensions, and be able to identify their
component parts in some detail. As well, you should be able to explain how the Measurement
Server and Measurement Server Extensions acquire and process physiological measurements
and how the Monitor displays the data.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
• Introducing the Instrument Components
• Section 1 - Monitor Description
• Functional Description of the Monitor Hardware
• Section 2 - Measurement Server Description and Features
• Measurement Server Theory of Operation
• Functional Description of the Measurement Server Hardware
• Electrocardiogram/Respiration (ECG/Resp) Measurement
• Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NBP) Measurement
• Arterial Oxygen Saturation and Pleth (SpO2/PLETH) Measurement
• Temperature and Invasive Blood Pressure (Temp/Press) measurement
• Section 3 - Measurement Server Extensions Description and Features
• M3015A Measurement Server Extension Theory of Operation
• Functional Description of the M3015A Measurement Server Extension Hardware
• Sidestream CO2 Measurement
• M3016A Measurement Server Extension Theory of Operation
• Functional Description of the M3016A Measurement Server Extension Hardware
• Mainstream CO2 Measurement
Concepts
The following section contains information that you need to understand in order to
competently maintain and repair an M2, M3 or M4 Monitor and Measurement Server with or
without a Measurement Server Extension.
