Theory of Operation: 3.1 INTRODUCTION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
This section provides overall theory of operation and functional
description of the DINAMAP PRO Monitor (hereinafter referred to as
PRO Monitor). The PRO Monitor comes in four different models, as
follows:
PRO Monitor 100 - It has the capability of monitoring Blood Pressure
(BP) and Pulse
PRO Monitor 200 - It has the capability of monitoring BP, Pulse, and
Temperature
PRO Monitor 300 - It has the capability of monitoring Blood Pressure
(BP), Pulse, and SPO2
PRO Monitor 400 - It has the capability of monitoring BP, Pulse,
Temperature, and SPO2
3.2 OVERALL PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The following paragraphs provide a general system interface
relationship. The general block diagram is located in Figure 3-1.
The PRO Monitor is a portable unit that receives input power from an
external AC source, external DC source, or internal rechargeable
battery.
When the ON/OFF button is pressed, the Main Board is brought out
of a sleep mode and turns on the power regulators. The power
regulators provide conditioned power from one of the input power
sources: AC Mains, External DC, or the Lead Acid Battery. The
regulated power is routed to the Printed Wiring Assemblies (PWAs)
via the cable harnesses. Once the Pro Monitor is energized, a self-
test is performed. The self-test automatically tests the main functions
of the PRO Monitor. Failure of the self-test will set the PRO Monitor
into a fail-safe mode with an audio alarm.
Under normal operating condition, the PRO Monitor is ready to record
the patient vital signs using three external attachments: the
temperature probe, SPO2 sensor, and cuff. Interface with a central
station or other device is accomplished through the host
communication port on the back of the Pro Monitor.
3.2.1 Cuff Blood Pressure (BP) and Pulse
When the cuff and hose are attached to the Pro Monitor and Non-
Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) determination is initiated, the pump
inflates the cuff. Pressure transducers PT1 and PT2 monitor pressure
information. The pneumatic manifold has two valves, which are used
to deflate the cuff. Valve control is through the Main Board. Once
determinations are made for the systolic BP and diastolic BP, the
