Intended Use
The SurgiVet
®
V3404 Plus is a low cost portable ECG, pulse oximetry, respiration, and temperature monitor. It
noninvasively and continuously monitors and displays arterial blood oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin
(SpO
2
), pulse rate, plethysmogram, ECG waveforms and switches displays between temperature and respiration
every five seconds. It may be used in the veterinary hospital or clinical environment. The oximetry feature works
with all SurgiVet
®
oximetry sensors, providing SpO
2
and pulse rate on all patients. The SurgiVet
®
V3404 Plus
permits continuous patient monitoring with adjustable alarm limits for oximetry, ECG, and respiration, as well as
visible and audible alarm signals.
General Description
Figure 2.1: General Description
Parameters
The SurgiVet
®
V3404 Plus is an ECG, oximetry, temperature, and respiration monitor. Alarm limits can be set on
all monitored parameters, except for temperature.
ECG
The monitor continuously measures and displays an ECG waveform. Either 3 or 5 lead monitoring may be
selected. The monitor beeps with each heartbeat. The volume of the heartbeat is adjustable. The pitch of the
heartbeat varies with the heart rate value.
Oximeter
The monitor continuously measures and displays arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO
2
) and Pulse Rate (HR).
Oximetry includes the display of a plethysmogram and pulse strength bar. The monitor beeps with each pulse
beat. The volume of the pulse beep is adjustable. The pitch of the pulse beep varies with the SpO
2
value. A
variety of veterinary reusable sensors are available for monitoring patients.
Audio
The monitor uses a multi-frequency speaker for beeps and alarm/alert sounds. Volumes are adjustable.
Temperature
The monitor continuously measures and displays the temperature, alternating with the respiration rate. Either
degrees in Celsius or Fahrenheit can be displayed.
Respiration
The monitor continuously measures and displays the respiration rate, alternating with the temperature.
