Chapter 2: Intended Use and General Information
2-2 VS2000 Vital Signs Monitor Operation Manual
Oximetry
The oximetry parameter provides the continuous non-invasive monitoring of
oxygen saturation (%SpO
2
) in the blood and pulse rate (PR). The measured
values for oximetry (%SpO
2
and PR) and a pulse strength bar graph are
displayed in the SpO
2
parameter box. A plethysmogram, or oxygen saturation
waveform, can be continuously displayed. A variety of disposable and reusable
sensors is available for monitoring patients.
Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)
The non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) parameter provides systolic, diastolic,
and mean arterial blood pressure values, and heart rate. The measured values
for non-invasive blood pressure (SYS, DIA, and MAP) are displayed in the NIBP
parameter box. NIBP measurements can be made in automatic, manual, or
STAT modes.
Respiration Rate (RR)
The monitor provides respiration rate and Resp waveform by measuring the
thoracic impedance between two ECG electrodes on the patient’s chest. The
measured RR is displayed in the RR parameter box. And the RR waveform is
displayed on the RR waveform Channel.
Temperature (TEMP)
Two independent channels of temperature (T1 and T2) monitoring are
available. Each channel is compatible with Utech Co., Ltd. YSI 400-series
disposable temperature sensors, or equivalent. The measured value for each
temperature channel (T1 and T2) is displayed in the TEMP parameter box.
