Description of Palmcare plus

Characteristics and Principles of PalmCare plus PalmCare plus is pulse oximeter for measuring oxygen saturation of arterial blood and plus rate of patient. Data and detected wave are displayed on the front LCD. There are two types of probe to the Plamcare plus. One is reusable probe and the other is disposable probe to apply neonate or pediatric patient as well as single use to adult. There are two principles that pulse oximeter is based on. Oxyhemoglobin and Deoxyhemoglobin differ in spectral absorption, the relative absorption of red and infrared light by bold reflects hemoglobin oxygen saturation. And the changed volume of arterial blood in tissue could be measured during the pulsatile cycle. A pulse oximeter measures the oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin by passing red and infrared light emitting diodes(LED) in the oximeter sensor serve as light source (ultraviolet rays 660nm and infrared light 960nm); a photodiode serves as the photo detector. Pulse rate and arterial blood oxygen saturation are pleased on a LCD display in the real time. Users can determine the alarm settings and volume as needed via cont기 key panel on the front. PalmCare plus gives the operator the ability to measure patient basic vital biometric data.

Preparation before Measuring SpO₂

Plug in the SpO₂probe to SpO connection port on upper side of Palmcare plus .

① Spo2 probe connection port

Turn the power on by pressing the power button ( ) PalmCare plus .

Attaching of Probe

Step 1) Clean the area of the body to be measured by using alcohol.

Step 2) Attach the probe to a finger as shown on the following drawing. (When

measuring NIBP, SpO2 probe is attached to the other arm than the one

that NIBP is measured. Do not use with other medical instruments that

can affect the blood flow, and do not attach the probe where medical

interference can be generated.)

Step 3) Be sure that red light of the probe is on, the sensor gives out the light,

the both sides of the probe faces rightly

Step 4) For a stable SpO2 measurement, movement of body should be

restricted, and band the probe cable on the finger. When banding the

probe cable, make sure it does not hinder with blood flow.

Step 5) Make sure to check the skin condition in the attached location and the

sensor whether they are facing each other in a proper way, every 2 to 3

hours.

If skin condition changes, change the attaching location.

(How to apply SpO₂finger probe)

◈ Make sure that you should carefully handle the sensor and cable. Non-careful use of the probe may cause harm the sensitive sensor. Be sure that the cable is protected against sharp things.

◈ If a patient suffers from a fever or a disorder in peripheral circulation system, then the temperature of the skin goes up by 2 or 3 degrees.

◈ If the values for Oxyhemoglobin or Methemoglobin of a patient are increased abnormally, the SpO2 data are not reliable.

◈ The disposable sensor should not be re-used for the same patient on the same or different part of the body.

◈ In order to reuse disposable sensor, you should sterilize it

CAUTION

◈ Using an SpO2 probe during MR imaging can cause severe burns. To minimize this risk, ensure that the cable is positioned so that no inductive loops are formed. If the probe does not appear to be operating properly, remove it immediately from the patient.

◈ Never apply an SpO2 probe at ambient temperatures higher than 37℃

◈ Do not use disposable probe on patients who have allergic reactions to the adhesive

◈ Avoiding the probe placed on any extremity with an arterial catheter, or intravascular venous infusion line.

◈ Make sure the sensor emitter light and is directly opposite each other and that all of the light from the emitter passes through the patient’s tissue.

◈ For Neonatal patients, make sure the disposable probe should be

used outside the incubator. (The humid atmosphere inside the incubator can cause inaccurate measurements.)

WARNING

Palmcare plus is designed to provide various kinds of alarm for users convenience. Users must read following carefully and treat proper manner in the situation of alarm occurrence.

About the Alarm

① High Priority Alarm

The high priority alarm is set off only when a measured value is extremely

abnormal. For example, in the event pulse rate goes up higher than 180 or

goes down lower than 40, the high priority alarm will go off regardless of

set alarm limits. It is recommended to actually listen to the alarm sound in

advance for fast and accurate recognition. .

② Medium Priority Alarm

The medium priority alarm goes off when a measured value goes over the

set alarm limits. It is recommended to actually listen to the alarm sound in

advance for fast and accurate recognition. Medium priority alarm works in

connection with the oxygen saturation and pulse rate. If the oxygen

saturation and pulse rate exceeds the alarm limits, it becomes to activate.

③ Information Alarm Information Alarm informs the matters which the user should keep or the abnormality occurrence during measuring by alarming

Alarms for Each Mode

① Standard Mode

The high priority alarm makes a sound 5 times in the period of 2 seconds, and then after interval of 10 seconds, it makes a sound again

Alarm Function

◈ We are recommended to hear the each alarm sound with your own ears before use the equipment, because to express the sound is very hard.

NOTE

45

5 times in 2 seconds. This alarm sound has a rhythm specified by the international standards. The medium priority alarm makes a 3 times in the period of 2 seconds and then after interval of 24 seconds, it makes a sound 3 times in 2 seconds.

If the information alarm goes off, it means that incidences as follow have occurred.

i. Heart beating : The pitch of beep sound will vary in accordance with

oxygen saturation value changes. ii. In case the battery capacity is running out: when inside battery is

used instead of outside power source (DC adapter), the information (warning) alarm will go off to alert the user, when the battery is running out.

iii. In case of Measuring failure: When a sensor has slipped off, or when a probe connector is pulled off from the equipment, or when sensor is malfunctioning, the information alarm will go off.

② Visual Alarm …

To provide the fast recognition at a glance by the users, all the displayed values that caused the alarm will be set to blink continuously

Alarm Occurrence

In the event the alarm occurs, the measured value changed red color and you can heard the alarm weaning sound at the same time.

PalmCare plus can be operated DC power. It can be operated while on the move by getting the power from the internal battery which ca be used again by recharging with the DC adapter.

DC Adapter Power

In case battery power is running out, it is automatically recharged if you connect DC adapter to Palmcare plus to the outlet .

1. USB (mini B Type) Communication connector 2. DC Adapter connector

Battery Power

The internal battery supplies the sources of electricity, if you separate the Dc adapter from Palmcare plus.

- Recharging period : 1Houres 1H/2 Min(1CELL),3 hours (2CELL) - Continuous operating time : 3 hours(1CELL: 1130mAh)- Standard

6hours (2CELL: 2260mAh)-Optional

Power & Battery Specifications

◈ In case battery power is running out, battery –shaped icon ( ) will blink at the upper portion of the LCD screen before about 5 minutes of the power shortage. And the power can be immediately turned off according to the using parameter. Therefore, DC power has to be supplied at once.

◈ For the effective use of battery, Palmcare plus has the power saving mode it turn off the LCD back light after 3 seconds and also turn off the all functions of Palmcare plus after 30 seconds, if the user does not operate any button or measures. (However, if he starts operating any button or measurement within 30 seconds, the LCD back light turns on again) But it will not turn off the power if the AC adapter is connected.

NOTE
