Transmitter connection
WARNING
DUST COVERS — If the dust covers for the interface connectors
become detached from the transmitter, they may pose a choking
hazard for pediatric patients. Inspect the dust covers before each use
to verify that they are securely attached. If the dust covers become
detached and cannot be reinserted into their retaining slot, do not use
them on the transmitter, and keep them out of pediatric patients’
reach.
1. Connect the non-sensor end of the SpO2 probe into the 9-pin connector on the
top of the oximeter.
2. Plug one end of the interconnection cable into the INTFC connector on the
oximeter. Plug the other end into the INTFC connector (labeled 2 on its dust
cover) on the transmitter. See Interconnection cables on page 3-10.
3. Turn the oximeter on. The digital display turns on and the power LED (horizontal
bar) flashes. The digital display stays on for one minute.
Once connected, follow your unit’s protocol for attaching the transmitter and the
oximeter to the patient. A common method is to place them back-to-back in the same
pouch and belt them on the patient.
Dinamap PRO monitors
A DINALink serial cable is used to connect the transmitter to the Dinamap PRO 100–
400 series monitors. The interconnect cable connects to either of the interface ports
on the transmitter.
