Oximeter
A finger sensor attaches to an external oximeter module cable which measures oxygen saturation
(SpO2) and heart rate. If a patient uses the optional oximeter, the oximeter heart rate over-rides the
NIBP heart rate in the monitor display. Genesis DM transmits both the NIBP and oximeter heart rate
values. LifeStream stores both values in the database but only displays the oximeter heart rate.
Assigning a COM port
You must assign an isolated COM port in order for the Genesis DM to prompt for collection during the
monitoring session. To assign a COM port, follow the instructions below.
Oximeter can also be programmed in the monitor's Setup Wizard. The COM port is automatically
assigned at that time.
The following instructions assume you know how to navigate in Setup Mode. If you have not
programmed a monitor, refer to section 3 Programming the Genesis DM Monitor for complete
programming instructions. In addition to the monitor, the oximeter can also be assigned via the Quick
Setup Wizard available when the monitor is first turned on.
1.
In Setup Mode, scroll to the Option Menu and press RETEST to enter the menu.
2.
Scroll to Oximeter and press RETEST.
3.
Using either the YES or NO key, scroll to the correct COM port (COM1 or COM2), and press
RETEST.
4.
In the Oximeter Time menu, set the collection frequency.
5.
Exit Setup Mode.
Attaching the optional oximeter cable and finger sensor
Follow the steps below to attach the oximeter cable and finger sensor to the monitor.|
1.
Plug the 4-pin connector (located on the oximeter module) into the isolated port you assigned in
programming.
2.
To attach the finger sensor, hold the plug so that the letter B is on the bottom.
3.
Push the plug into the module port until it locks into place.
Patient training
If you have assigned a com port and have the oximeter module cable connected to the Genesis DM, the
monitor includes oximeter prompts with the blood pressure prompts as follows:
•
Place the blood pressure cuff on the right arm above the elbow and tighten it securely.
