trends, and other data associated with given parameters monitored by a Nellcor
Symphony N-3000 patient monitor and/or a Nellcor Symphony N-3100 blood
pressure monitor.

The physical and operational characteristics of the N-3200 are described in the
operator’s manual and Section 9, Specifications, of this manual.

Figures 1-1 and 1-2 depict the International and North American front panels of
the N-3200 and names of its displays and controls.

Note: All graphics in this manual relevant to the N-3200 are depicted in the

International symbol format. Refer to your operator’s manual and
Figures 1-1 and 1-2 of this manual for applicable translations.

1.3 RELATED DOCUMENTS

To perform test and troubleshooting procedures and to understand the principles
of operation and circuit analysis sections of this manual, you must know how to
operate the N-3200. Refer to the N-3200 operator’s manual. To understand how
the N-3200 operates with the N-3000 or N-3100, refer to the appropriate
operator’s manual.

SECTION 2: ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

2.1 Cleaning

2.2 Periodic Safety and Functional Checks

2.3 Batteries

2.1 CLEANING

Caution: Do not immerse the N-3200 in liquid or clean with caustic or
abrasive cleaners, chlorofluorocarbons, or petroleum solvents. Do not
spray or pour any liquid on the N-3200.

To clean the N-3200, dampen a cloth with a commercial, nonabrasive cleaner
and wipe the exterior surfaces lightly. Do not allow any liquids to come in
contact with the power connector, fuse holder, or switches. Do not allow any
liquids to penetrate connectors or openings in the instrument cover.

2.2 PERIODIC SAFETY AND FUNCTIONAL CHECKS

The following checks should be performed at least every 2 years by a qualified
service technician. They should also be performed whenever the N-3200 is
repaired, has had its covers removed, or has been returned from outside your
institution’s control.

1. Inspect the exterior of the N-3200 for damage.

2. 3 BATTERIES

2. Inspect safety labels for legibility.

3. Verify that the instrument performs properly as described in Section 3
Performance Verification, paragraph 3.3.

4. Perform the electrical safety tests listed in Section 3, Performance
Verification, paragraph 3.4.

5. Inspect the fuses for proper value and rating (battery fuse: 2.5 amp, slow
blow, 5 x 20mm; AC inlet fuse: 2.0 amp, slow blow, 5 x 20mm) as discussed
in paragraphs 6.2 (AC inlet fuse) and 6.3 (battery fuse).

If the N-3200 has any damage or illegible labeling, or if it fails to perform any of
the tests or has improper fuse values, the repairs or corrections must be made
before the N-3200 is returned to the user.

Contact Nellcor Puritan Bennett’s Technical Services Department or your local
Nellcor Puritan Bennett representative for further assistance.

Nellcor Puritan Bennett recommends replacing instrument batteries every 2
years. To replace the batteries, refer to Section 6, Disassembly Guide. Follow
local governing ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or
recycling of battery or other device components.

If the N-3200 is to be stored and not used for more than 30 days, you may ensure
that the battery remains fully charged by connecting it to a functional AC outlet
with the unit turned on and the AC power switch on the rear panel in the ON
position.

SECTION 3: PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION

3.1 Introduction

3.2 Equipment Needed

3.3 Performance Tests

3.4 Safety Tests

3.1 INTRODUCTION

This section describes performance verification and safety testing for the
N-3200.

The following tests are designed for an overall assessment of N-3200 operation
and safety and should be performed by a qualified service technician. The tests
can be performed without removing any exterior covers. The battery
performance and battery recharge tests should be performed before monitor
repairs whenever the battery is suspected of being a source of the problem. All
other tests should be performed whenever the N-3200 is repaired, has had its
covers removed, or has been returned from outside your institution’s control.

If the N-3200 fails to perform as specified in any test, repairs must be made
before returning the unit to the user.

3.2 EQUIPMENT NEEDED
Equipment Description

AC power cord Hospital grade
Safety analyzer Must meet current AAMI

Nellcor Symphony N-3000 patient monitor, N-3100
blood pressure monitor, or both. (The N-3000 and
N-3100 are optional and necessary only to verify
stacked functionality).

3.3 PERFORMANCE TESTS

The following tests are used to verify N-3200 performance:

• 3.3.1 Battery Performance

• 3.3.2 Battery Charge

• 3.3.3 Power-Up Performance

• 3.3.4 Hardware and Software Performance (Service Mode)
Note: Before performing the battery operation test, ensure that the battery is

3.3.1 Battery Performance

Before performing this test, ensure that the battery is fully charged (paragraph

3.3.2).

Software compatible with

N-3200

fully charged (paragraph 3.3.2).

The N-3200 is specified to operate on battery power a minimum of 4 hours with
a continuously operating display and no printer activity.

1. Ensure that the instrument is not connected to AC power.

Section 3: Performance Verification

2. With the N-3200 turned off, press the ON/STANDBY button and verify that
an introduction screen similar to the one illustrated in Figure 3-1 is
displayed. (Your N-3200 will have a different software version number than
the one displayed in the illustration.)

3. Verify that the BATTERY IN USE/BATTERY LOW indicator lights after
the power-on self-test is completed.

4. Allow the monitor to operate for at least 3 hours, 45 minutes. Verify that
the BATTERY IN USE/BATTERY LOW indicator starts to flash about 15
minutes before the battery fully discharges.

5. Allow the monitor to continue to operate until it automatically powers down
due to the low battery. Verify that the battery operation time was a
minimum of 4 hours.

6. If the monitor passes this test, immediately recharge the battery (paragraph

3.3.2).

Perform this procedure to fully charge the battery or after the battery operation
test (paragraph 3.3.1). This procedure should also be performed, if possible,
before repair work is attempted.

1. Connect the N-3200 to an appropriate AC power source.

2. Ensure that the monitor is off and that the AC power switch on the rear
panel is on. Verify that the BATTERY CHARGING indicator is lit.

3. Charge the battery for at least 14 hours.

3.3.3 Power-up Performance

1. Do not stack any monitors on the N-3200.

2. Connect the N-3200 to a suitable AC power source.

Section 3: Performance Verification

3. Ensure that the AC power switch on the rear panel is on.

4. Observe the N-3200 front panel. With the instrument off, press the
ON/STANDBY button. In order to successfully complete the self-test, the
N-3200 must perform the following sequence.

a. The N-3200 emits three consecutively higher pitched beeps and the

POWER ON indicator lights.

b. The STACKED and BATTERY IN USE/BATTERY LOW indicators

light for a few seconds and then turn off. The POWER ON indicator,
BATTERY CHARGING indicator, and PRINTER ON indicator remain
lit.

During the self-test, the following items are displayed on the screen
(illustrated in Figure 3-1):

• The current date and time are indicated in the upper left-hand
corner. The date and time can be changed using the configuration
mode as described in section 4.

• “NELLCOR” is displayed in the center of the screen.

• The software version number is displayed on a single line beneath
the Nellcor name.

Use of the service mode is required. Use the following procedure to place the
instrument in the service mode:

1. To enter the service mode, the N-3200 must either be disconnected from
other stacked instruments, or the other instruments must be turned off.

The service mode can be accessed while operating from the N-3200 internal
battery. However, it is recommended that the N-3200 be connected to AC
power while performing the following tests to avoid discharging the battery.

2. While the N-3200 is turned off, simultaneously press and hold the FREEZE
and PRINT buttons and softkey #5 (far right softkey). While pressing and
holding all three buttons, press and release the ON/STANDBY button.
Continue to press the FREEZE button, PRINT button and softkey #5 until
the power-up self-test is complete.

3. The words “SERVICE MODE” are displayed on the top center of the screen.
The current date and time are displayed in the upper left-hand corner of the
