N-3100 BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The N -3100 is a noninvasive blood pressure monitor that measures systolic,
diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure. It also derives the patient’s pulse
rate at the time of blood pressure measurement. The N-3100 is intended for
hospital use to monitor adult, pediatric, or neonatal patients. The N-3100 can
be used in mobile environments when stacked with the N -3000, the N-3200,
or both. When used in mobile environments, the N-3100 must be protected
from excessive moisture such as direct rainfall.
The N -3100 can operate as a standalone monitor or it can be connected to
(stacked with) other NELLCOR SYMPHONY instruments, such as the
N-3000 pulse oximeter, the N -3200 display/printer, or both.
The physical and operational characteristics of the monitor are described in
the operator’s manual and Section 9, Specifications, of this manual.
Figures 1-1 and 1-2 depict the North American and International front panels
of the N-3100 and the names of its displays and controls.
