System description
Introduction to the sensors
There are four SpO
2
sensors with different types of probes. The respiration sensor is
used with a disposable respiration patch. The sensors acquire physiological data from
the patient. All sensors are wearable and wireless, communicating with the Hub via
an MBAN connection. The communication is only possible after a sensor battery is
connected to a sensor and the sensor has been paired with the Hub. Each sensor can
only be paired with one Hub at a time.
The use of the sensors is discussed in more detail in the measurement sections.
Introduction to sensor batteries
NOTE
Always make sure that you have additional charged sensor
batteries ready for use in case the current battery discharges
completely during monitoring. Loss of power will result in loss
of monitoring.
A sensor battery:
●
Powers up a sensor when connected to it
●
Enables pairing of a sensor to the Hub
●
Enables MBAN communication to the Hub
●
Gives LED status indications of the MBAN connection, sensor connection, and
battery charge.
Introduction to the charger
The charger is meant for charging the sensor and Hub batteries. It has four smaller
charging slots for sensor batteries and one larger charging slot for the Hub. All sensor
battery charging slots can be used in any order and a sensor battery can be put in
any slot. The charger can also be used for storing the sensors while they are not in
use, see the following graphic.
The charger can be used with an optional wall mount (on the left) or with a table
mount (on the right):
