DIGITAL DISPLAY AVERAGING
Art and P1 digital displays are averaged over 5 seconds and updated at 5 second intervals. All
other pressures have respiration artifact rejection.

2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 Measurement principle
To measure invasive blood pressure, a catheter is inserted into an artery or vein. The invasive
pressure setup, consisting of connecting tubing, pressure transducer, an intravenous bag of normal
saline all connected together by stopcocks, is attached to the catheter. The transducer is placed at
the same level with the heart, and is electrically zeroed.
The transducer is a piezo-resistive device that converts the pressure signal to a voltage. The monitor
interprets the voltage signal so that pressure data and pressure waveforms can be displayed.
2.2 Main components
The main components of the Dual Pressure Module, M-PP, are a PP circuit board, a front panel and
a box. The front panel includes two Nicolay-type connectors, P5 and P6, and two direct function
keys, Zero P5 and Zero P6 for pressure zeroing.
Dual Pressure Module, M-PP
Communication between the Dual Pressure Module and the Central Unit is an RS485 serial
interface.
The power supply voltages to the Dual Pressure Module are generated in the power supply section
of the Central Unit. All electrical connections between the Dual Pressure Module and the Central
Unit are via a 25-pin D-connector at the back of the module.

Microprocessor unit
The microprocessor uses the Intel 80C196KC-16 CPU which includes three A/D converters and a
UART. The microprocessor uses external memories, an 8-bit data bus, a 16 MHz oscillator, an open
collector reset, and a watchdog timer. The three A/D-converters within the CPU convert the analog
input signals to digital. The internal UART communicates and transfers data between the module
and the CPU board in the monitor.High speed I/O is used to obtain the pulse control sequence
necessary for pulse oximetry measurement. It receives its timing clock signal from the 16 MHz
oscillator.

Invasive blood pressure measurement unit
An isolated +5 V supply is connected to the input of the pressure transducer bridge circuit. From
the bridge circuit output a differential voltage, which depends on blood pressure and input supply
voltage, is calculated using the following formula:
Uout = Uin × Pressure × 5 V
where Uin = 5 V
Uout = 25 V × Pressure [mmHg]
Pressure amplification is performed by the instrumentation amplifier. The gain of the amplifier is
set so that the level of the signal transferred to the A/D converter stays within the measurement
range even when there are circumstantial offsets or offsets caused by the pressure transducer. The
input filter before the amplifier attenuates high frequency disturbances.

Serial communication
Serial communication between the Dual Pressure Module and the Central Unit is via an RS485
type bus. The communication bus drivers are powered from the Central Unit Module Bus. The
module isolation section (+5 V) is powered from the isolated power supply.
The buffers of the serial communication drivers are controlled by a reset signal such that when the
reset is active the drivers do not transfer data.

In addition to the RS485 reset there is a logic power-up reset, which holds for approximately 500
ms regardless of the state of the RS485 reset. A time constant determines the power-up reset time.
The power-up reset also prevents the module from sending data to the Module Bus. The data
transmission rate is 500 kbps.

Isolation
Figure 5Serial communication and opto isolation sections
There are two opto isolators, one for data and one for the reset signal. Signals are processed on
logical high-low levels even though the output of the opto isolators in the isolation section are
analog signals.
The reset line is an open collector type with a pull-up resistor so that the microprocessor is able to
use its internal watch-dog function.
Power supply section
The module isolated supply voltage is developed from the +15 Vdirty (non-isolated) supply from
the Central Unit power supply.
The isolated power supply is a switched-mode circuit, where an FET switch is controlled by an
oscillator using a bipolar timer. The frequency of the oscillator is approximately 30 kHz with a pulse
ratio 50 %; switching of the FET switch is slow to suppress spurious interference.
A special isolation pulse transformer is used in the circuit. The transformer secondary circuit uses
normal linear regulators except for +5 V which uses a low drop type linear regulator.

Record DataRecord Data prints out the service data and circuit board information (id., serial number, and
software id.) on the Recorder Module, M-REC.
Service DataGain is a coefficient to compensate for gain error. Usually the values for P5 and P6 are between
17000 and 25000.
Zero indicates the offset compensation value for each parameter in the A/D converter. Typically
the values for P5 and P6 are within ±1000. Calibrate if the zero and/or gain value is outside the
ranges.
Cable shows ON when the corresponding cable is connected to the front panel and Probe shows
ON when the corresponding probe is connected to the cable.
Value displays the measured numeric values simultaneously. Pressure value is a real time value
and shown in mmHg.
Button; the front panel key function can be confirmed by pressing the key and checking that OFF
turns to ON.
Timeouts is a cumulative number that indicates how many times the module has not responded to
the monitor's inquiry. Bad checksums is a cumulative number that indicates how many times
communication from the module to the monitor has failed. Bad c-s by mod is a cumulative number
that indicates how many communication errors the module has detected.
The monitor starts counting these items at power up and resets to zero at power off. The nonzero
values do not indicate a failure, but the continuous counting (more than 50 per second) during
normal operation indicates either a serial communication failure or the module is not in place.
18
Document No 8001014-1
RAM indicates the state of the RAM memory. ROM indicates whether the checksum in the EPROM
is in accordance with the software calculated value. EEPROM indicates whether the values stored
in the permanent memory are valid. The state is either OK, Fail or ? (module not in place or a
communication error).
