Principle of operation

TIDAL WAVE Sp

uses the CAPNOSTAT C O which has endured and evolved in the clinical setting for over two decades and remains the most popular and versatile technique today.

The principle is based on the fact that CO with the amount of energy absorbed being directly related to the CO through a gas sample containing CO

, the electronic signal from the photodetector (which m easures the remaining

light energy) can be obtained. This signal is then compared to the energy of the IR source and calibrated to accurately reflect CO concentration of CO

The remainin g light energy not absorbed by the tissue sample reaches a photodiode light receptor in the sensor. Oxygen saturated blood absorbs

different amounts of light at each wavelength as compared to desaturated blood. Therefore, the amount of light absorbed by the blood in each pulse can be used to calculate oxygen saturation.

The

TIDAL WAVE Sp

is calibrated to display “functional” saturation. This differs from the “fractional”

saturation value displayed by most co-oximeters. Functional saturation is defined as:

HbO

Functional Saturation =

100 - (COHb + METHb)

= Fractional Oxyhemoglobin

HbO

COHb = Carboxyhemoglobin METHb = Methemoglobi n

This can be considered to represent t he amount of oxyhemogl obin as a percentage of the hemoglobin that can be oxygenated. Dysfun ctional hemoglobins (COHb and METHb) ar e not included in the measurement of functional saturation.

Pulse Rate is calculated by measuring the time interval between peaks of the infrared light waveform. The inverse of this measurement is displayed as pulse rate.

The oxygen saturation an d pulse rate values are updated once each second. Presence of a pulse is indicated visibly by a plethysmogram graphic display and audibly by a “beep,” when configured.

The

TIDAL WAVE Sp

must be used in conjunction with SuperBright™ Sensors. See “Accessories” on

AC/Battery Operation

Press the POWER key to place the unit into operate mode (ON) or to turn the unit OFF. The status of the unit is dependent upon both the Power key and the power source.

The monitor can operate for up to 4.5 hours while powered from a fully char ged internal battery (4 hours when using sampling pump, Model 715). The battery is charging when the monitor is powered through its DC input and the keypanel icon is green. The battery will charge even if the monitor is off. Power to the DC input is supplied by the external power supply (Cat. No. 9220-10) with or without the optional BaseStation (Cat. No. 6998-00).

Battery Status and Alerts

When the monitor is operating on battery power, and the battery is sufficiently charged, the battery icon LED on the keypanel will be green. The battery level is reflected on the battery icon by different colors (for example, battery fully charged: green, battery low: flashing yellow).

The LED on the keypanel flashes red when the monitor is powered by its internal battery and approximately 5 minutes remain. The monitor will sound an audible alert, then when the battery is depleted, turn itself off. This alert can only be silenced by connecting the external supply or turning the monitor off. The NiMH battery pac k should be replac ed, or the external power supply (Cat. No. 9220-10) should be connected to recharge the batter y (rechargeable batteries only) and power the monitor. See “Battery Life and Recharge Times” on page 14.
