Pulse oximeter Service Manual 1-1
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 General
The DPM1 Pulse Oximeter is a non-invasive, spot-check, oxygen saturation and pulse rate
monitor. It operates only on battery power using existing DPM1 disposable and reusable finger
and ear sensors labeled for patients ranging from neonates to adults.
Parameters monitored by the DPM1 pulse oximeter include: arterial oxygen saturation (SpO
2
),
pulse rate (PR) and pulse strength. The DPM1 pulse oximeter employs a finger SpO
2
sensor
to measure patient’s SpO
2
, PR and pulse strength, and all of these are displayed on the LCD
screen.
The DPM1is operated and controlled by three buttons, which are Power Button, Backlight
Button and ID Confirm Button. The DPM1 oximter is also capable of data manage and
exporting the patient’s trend data to a PC for printing through the SpO2/communication
multiplex port.
1.2 Functions
DPM1 has the functions shown as below:
1. Monitoring-----SpO
2
, PR and pulse strength.
2. Printing-----patient ID, trend data, measurement time.
3. Power Saving------automatic standby, automatic shutdown.
4. Warning-----memory full, ID full, low battery, standby, technical error.
Printing is available only when the device is equipped with a communication cable and works
with a PC with a printer.
1.3 Parameters Measurement
Parameters monitored by DPM1 pulse oximeter includes: SpO
2
, PR and pulse strength.
DPM1measures SpO
2
by pulsating oximetry, which is a continuous and non-invasive method
to determine oxygen saturation of hemoglobin.
DPM1 also can determine pulse rate and pulse strength, which are indicated on the LCD
screen after processing.
