General Information
This User's Guide provides healthcare professionals the information required for
the safe and effective use of the Nightingale PPM3 (Personal Patient Monitor, 3
rd
Generation). The Nightingale PPM3 is a small, lightweight patient monitor
designed to acquire physiological waveforms and parameters, and to transmit this
data to a Nightingale MPC (Multi-patient Console).
For the sake of brevity, the term PPM3 is sometimes used in this document to
refer to the Nightingale PPM3.
The Nightingale MPC is the central monitoring station for the Nightingale
Monitoring System. The Nightingale MPC connects to a network of Nightingale
PPM3 bedside patient monitors, allowing you to view information from up to 64
patients at once.
For the sake of brevity, the term MPC is sometimes used in this document to refer
to the Nightingale MPC.
Before using the PPM3, be sure to read carefully and understand all the chapters
of this User's Guide. Failure to read and understand the instructions may lead to
misuse of the PPM3, which could result in harm to the patients.
