2 Theory of Operation
2.1 Introduction
This pulse oximeter is designed to monitor or measure the oxygen saturation and pulse rate of
single adult, pediatric and neonatal patient.
The pulse oximeter also:
Presents audible and visual alarms in case of patient or equipment problems.
Enables the real-time displaying, reviewing, storing and exporting of SpO
values.
Supports Pitch Tone, which means the pitch of pulse tone rises as the oxygen saturation
level increases and falls as the oxygen saturation level decreases.
Operates on either alkaline batteries or a lithium-ion battery.
Offers wired or wireless communication with a personal computer.

2.2 System Connections
2.2.1 Mounting the Pulse Oximeter
The pulse oximeter can be mounted on a wall bracket or on a trolley support. The wall
bracket or trolley support can be ordered optionally. Each type of mounting bracket is
delivered with a complete set of mounting hardware and instructions for use. To install the
pulse oximeter, refer to the instrutions for installation.
CAUTION
z Use mounting brackets we supply or approve. If other compatible mounting
bracket is used, be sure it can be safely applied to the pulse oximeter.
z The mounting bracket should be installed by our qualified service personnel, or
mechanical engineers who have adequate knowledge on it.
z If other mounting solution is used, the installation personnel and the customer
should verify if it can be safely applied to the pulse oximeter, and the customer
assume the responsibility for any risk resulting from that.

2.2.2 Connectors for Peripheral Devices
The connectors for peripheral devices are located at the top, right side and bottom of the
pulse oximeter as shown in the figure.
Multifunctional connector
It is a DB 9 connector which is used to connector a SpO
sensor (including reusable
2
sensor, disposable sensor and veterinary sensor) to measure the oxygen saturation or
connect a personal computer through a PC communication cable to export trend data.
Infrared port
It is a port through which a personal computer is communicated using a infrared adapter
to export data in real time without affecting patient monitoring.
Power supply connector
It is a female power socket which is used to connect the charger stand’s male power
plug . To avoid being mixed with other power supply adapters, it has nonstandard size.

2.3.1.2 Core Control Unit
The Core control unit consists of CPU, SDRAM and Flash memory.
The CPU is ADI’s DSP BF531. Its kernel running frequency is up to 400 MHz and external
frequency up to 133MHz. The kernel voltage is 0.8 V and the current consumed at 50 MHz is
as low as 26mA. The oscillating frequency of the CPU clock is 11.0592 MHz and its
expected frequency is 55MHz, which can be implemented through internal PLL frequency
multiplication. The SDRAM provides space for program running and the Flash memory
provides space for storing program, data, lingual library and configuration information. The
BF531 starts directly from the Flash memory.

Alarm lamp
The alarm lamp gives visual alarm signals which meet applicable requirements. It
consists of 4 LEDs in parallel. The alarm LEDs receive electrical signal sent by the main
board and convert it into optical signal which is then sent to the panel through a light
conducting bar. The alarm LEDs light up in red and yellow.
2-5
Audible indicators
Audio files including alarm tone, button tone and pulse tone are burned in a serial flash
memory in advance. To give out a sound, the CPU reads audio data from the flash
memory and controls the puse-width modulation (PWM) to give out a audible signal.
The pulse oximeter supports pitch tone and multi-level volume. The speaker is
connected with the main board and the audible signal is provided by the main board.
2.3.1.4 Communication Interfaces
RS232 port
The RS232 port implements communication through the CPU’s UART module and the
RS232 drive chip. The RS232 drive chip which is integrated in the PC communication
cable is electrostatically protected. The CPU’s UART module has an external drive IC
to enforce driving and ensure protection.
Infrared port
The BF 531’s UART supports infrared transmission. The transmitted and received
signals are connected directly to the infrared IC.
2.3.2 Power Supply
The power module provides hardware for power supply management. It detects the level
required by all hardware, the priority of power supply type as well as the power supply status.
It is also controls the power indicating lamp and real-time clock, manages battery charging
and communicates with the main control unit.
The block diagram of the power module is shown below:

2.3.2.4 Charging the Lithium-ion Battery
The pulse oximeter is configured with a lithium-ion battery charging circuit which can detect
battery charging status and provide protection against overtime, overcurrent as well as
overtemperature charging. It automatically charges the battery in circle and enters into the
sleeping mode when the battery is fully charged. The system identifies battery type through
BC pole to avoid charging the alkaline batteries. The charge time to 90% capacity is less than
2 hours and to 100% capacity less than 3.5 hours.

The following tools may be required for disassembly and repair:
Small screwdriver
Sharp-nose pliers
Tweezers
5.2 Preparations for Disassembly
Before disassembling the pulse oximeter, stop monitoring the patient, turn off the pulse
oximeter and disconnect all the accessories and peripheral devices.
CAUTION
z Before disassembling the pulse oximeter, be sure to eliminate the static charges
