2.4. How to Connect the PPM3 to the Patient
To connect the PPM3 to the patient requires special instructions depending on
which signals and parameters you are monitoring. Please refer to the chapter for
each signal for instructions about how to make the connection to monitor that
signal.
WARNING – Check the PPM3 and its accessories for cracks, abrasive
edges and other signs of damage before applying sensors to the
patient.
2.5. How to Check the PPM3 Setup
For any patient connections you made, you should have already verified that the
waveform displayed on the PPM3 shows that the connection was good. When
connected to the MPC, you should verify that the patient name is displayed in the
name area of the PPM3 Main Screen. If the patient's name is too long to fit in this
area, you should verify that the patient's initials are displayed.
Before leaving the patient, make sure that the PPM3, the PPM3 Power Supply,
and all the cables are secure and not hanging in a way that would be hazardous to
the patient or to someone caring for the patient.
WARNING – Always make sure that the correct patient name is
displayed in the PPM3 name area when connected to the MPC. This
is to avoid any chance of mistaking the signals and parameters from
one patient with the signals and parameters from another patient at
the central monitoring station.
