3770/3775 Pulse Oximeter Service Manual
General description
Two models of the oximeter are available: the 3770 and the 3775. Both oximeters
operate on power supplied by a battery pack. In addition, either oximeter, when a
nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery pack is attached, can be positioned in the battery
charger monitoring station and operated using the station’s DC (from AC mains)
power supply.
• The 3770 oximeter is designed specifically for spot checking SpO
rate. It has no alarms or user-definable parameters and is not intended for
continuous monitoring.
• The 3775 oximeter is a full-featured model designed for spot checking in
addition to short- and long-term continuous SpO2 and pulse rate monitoring.
This model can print trend data, through an infrared link, to the optional
Hewlett-Packard® (HP) printer.
Note: Throughout this manual, components and features available on both
oximeter models and those found only on the 3775 oximeter are discussed. If you
are working on the 3770, references to components specific to the 3775 do not
apply.
Theory of operation
The oximeter uses a two-wavelength pulsatile system—red and infrared light—to
distinguish between oxygenated (O2Hb) and reduced (HHb) hemoglobin, each of
which absorbs different amounts of light emitted from the oximeter sensor. The
system then calculates the relative percentage of these two constituents and SpO2.

Figure 1-1. Signal composite
Arterial blood pulsation at the test site modulates the transmission of the oximeter
sensor’s light. Since other fluids and tissues present generally don’t pulsate, they
don’t modulate the light passing through that location. The pulsatile portion of the
incoming signal is used to detect and isolate the reduction of light energy due to
arterial blood flow.

Figure 1-2. Extinction vs. wavelength
The sensor’s photodetector converts the light, which is partially absorbed and
modulated as it passes through the tissue sample, into an electronic signal. Since
O2Hb and HHb allow different amounts of light to reach the photodetector at the
selected wavelengths, the electronic signal varies according to the light source that
is “on” and the oxygenation of the arterial hemoglobin. Analog and digital signal
processing then convert the light-intensity information into SpO2 and pulse rate
values for display on the monitor.

Calibration
Datex-Ohmeda pulse oximeters use two wavelength ranges, 650 nm to 665 nm and
930 nm to 950 nm, both with an average power of less than 1 mW. These wavelengths
are used to calculate the presence of oxyhemoglobin (O2Hb) and reduced hemoglobin
(HHb). A CO-oximeter typically uses four or more wavelengths of light and calculates
reduced hemoglobin (HHb), oxyhemoglobin (O2Hb), carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), and
methemoglobin (MetHb). Because of this, pulse oximetry readings and CO-oximetry
readings will differ in situations where a patient’s COHb or MetHb are increased.
Two different methods of calibration are currently used by oximeter manufacturers:
fractional and functional.
• The fractional saturation is determined by dividing the oxyhemoglobin by the
total hemoglobin, represented mathematically as
Fractional SpO2 =x 100 =x 100
O2Hb
Hb
TOTAL
O2Hb + HHb + COHb + MetHb
O2Hb
i.e., the percentage of the total amount of hemoglobin carrying oxygen.
• The functional saturation is represented mathematically as

i.e., the percentage of hemoglobin capable of carrying oxygen that is carrying

3770/3775 Pulse Oximeter Service Manual
The calculation of SpO2 assumes 1.6% carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), 0.4%
methemoglobin (MetHb), and no other pigments. Appreciable variation from
these values will influence SpO2 accuracy. These values are based on the DatexOhmeda Pulse Oximeter Empirical Calibration Study.
The 3700/3775 uses the fractional calibration method.

A complete oximetry system requires digital and analog processing. The digital
board provides signal acquisition, numerical processing, and user interface for the
oximeter. The analog board amplifies and conditions the biological signal. The
digital board then samples the conditioned signal, performs the oximetry
algorithm, and displays the results on numeric and graphic LED displays.
The user interface features an eight-character dot-addressable LED display, a
24-segment LED driver, a variable frequency audio driver, and (for the printer
option) an infrared wireless transmitter.

1/Overview
The core processing of the digital board is provided by a 16-bit processor,
nonvolatile FLASH memory, semivolatile SRAM, and a Real Time Clock. For
signal acquisition, it has an A-to-D converter (which is internal to the processor),
I/O ports for timing and control, and an 8-bit D-to-A converter.

Analog board
The analog board provides the oximetry analog signal processing, sensor LED
drive, detection of interfering signals, housekeeping and fault monitoring, standby
and operational power, power switching, and battery interface. It also provides
structural support for the digital board and the battery contacts. It contains
attachments for the sensor connector, rotary encoder, and serial port. It also
provides the grounding system for the case shield with EMC capacitors to shunt
high-frequency currents.

Specifications
Electromagnetic effects
1/Overview
Unless otherwise indicated, all specifications are nominal and are subject to
change without notice. Unless otherwise indicated, the specifications below apply
to both oximeters.
The 3770 or the 3775 when used with a LR6 (AA) battery pack, a NiCd battery
pack, or a NiCd battery pack in a battery charger monitoring station are referred
to as the “system” for EMC purposes.
• Indications that the system is experiencing electromagnetic interference
include:
• Variations in the display (pleth bar does not correlate to physiological signals).
• Sudden increases or decreases in the signal strength indicator that do not
correlate to physiological condition of the patient.
• PROBE? messages that are not resolved by the instructions found in the
3770/3775 Pulse Oximeter User’s
•

he display of “rolling dots” when a valid physiological signal is present.
Manua.
This interference may be intermittent and careful correlation between the effect
and its possible source is important. The system will not display any of these
indications if it is used within its intended electromagnetic environment.
Environment
Suitable for use in the environment described in IEC/EN 60601-1-2 (1993).
EMC performance
The system complies with the requirements of IEC/EN 60601-1-2 (Electromagnetic
compatibility - Requirements and tests). The following basic EMC standards were
applied to verify conformance.
