M3A Vital Signs Monitor Service Manual System Principle

Chapter 5 System Principle

This chapter introduces the structure and principle of the monitor, as well as the principles and
port definitions of the modules.

5.1 Principle
Parameter module is the basic unit to acquire signals for monitoring parameters in monitor. The
monitoring signals are transmitted to main control board to accomplish processing and displaying
of data and waveforms. The power link board can realize power switching and conversion. The
whole system structure is shown in the following figure:

NIBP SpO2 TEMP

Patient

Figure 5-1 System structure

As shown in the above figure, the three parameter modules execute real-time monitoring of NIBP,
SpO2, and TEMP respectively by using cuff and measuring cables, the results can be sent to main
control board for processing and displaying. Hereinafter the function details of parameter monitor
will be explained.

- 19 -
M3A Vital Signs Monitor Service Manual System Principle

5.1.1 NIBP
Blood pressure monitors commonly measure arterial pressure, which is produced by the
contraction of the heart and constantly changes over the course of cardiac cycle. Three blood
pressure values, expressed in millimeters of mercury above atmospheric pressure, are obtained.
The systolic pressure is the maximum cycle pressure; which occurs during ventricular contraction.
The diastolic pressure is the minimum cycle pressure, occurring during the ventricle’s filling
stage between contractions. The means arterial pressure (MAP) is the mean value of the blood
pressure over the cardiac cycle.
The monitor measures non-invasive blood pressure using the oscillometry method. The following
are detailed measurement procedures. Inflate the cuff encircling the upper arm until the pressure
in the cuff blocks the blood flow in the artery of the upper arm. Then deflate the cuff gradually
according to the requirement of certain arithmetic. With the decreasing of the pressure in the cuff,
the artery blood will palpitate with the pulse, which results in palpitation in the cuff. Through the
pressure sensor connected with the inflating pipe of the cuff, a palpitation signal palpitating with
the pulse will be generated. After being filtered by a high-pass filter (about 1Hz), this signal
becomes pulsating signal and is amplified. Then the amplified signal is converted into digital
signal by A/D. After using the singlechip to process this digital signal, we may obtain systolic
pressure, diastolic pressure and mean pressure. Be careful to choose appropriate cuffs for
neonatal, pediatric and adult patients so as to avoid generating measurement error. NIBP module
also has protection circuit to prevent the cuff from being inflated to a very high pressure. The
following are the main operating modes of NIBP.
a. Adult/pediatric/neonate: select according to the patient shape, weight and age.
b. Manual measurement/auto measurement/continuous measurement: Manual measurement is
also called single measurement. It means the monitor performs only one measurement each
time. Auto measurement means to perform one measurement within selected cycle. Time
interval can be set to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240 or 480 minutes. Continuous
measurement means after being activated, the monitor will perform quick measurement
continuously within 5 minutes. Continuous measurement is effective in monitoring changes
in blood pressure.

5.1.2 SpO2
SpO2 is based on the absorption of pulse blood oxygen to red and infrared light by means of
finger sensor and SpO2 measuring unit. The light-electronic transducer in finger sensor converts
the pulse red and infrared light modulated by pulse blood oxygen into electrical signal, the signal
is processed by hardware and software of the unit. The PLETH curve and numeral value of SpO2
will be obtained.
By tracing the pulse waveform in the fingertip, using specified arithmetic and consulting the
clinical data table, we can obtain the SpO2 value. The SpO2 sensor consists of two LEDs and a
photodetector. The two LEDs are respectively red diode and infrared diode, which are lighted on
according to certain time sequence. When the capillary vessel of the fingertip congests repeatedly,
the light of the LED is absorbed by blood vessels and organs and then projected onto the
photodetector. The photodetector can detect the light intensity varying with pulse changes and

- 20 -
M3A Vital Signs Monitor Service Manual System Principle

display the changing light intensity in the form of changing electronic signals. The ratio between
the DC and AC of the two types of signals for light is the proportion of oxygen in the blood. Then
we can calculate correct SpO2 value by using specified arithmetic and also calculate pulse rate
according to the SpO2 waveform.
The SpO2 module mainly consists of the following four parts: sensor, signal processing, control
unit of LED driving sequence, singlechip.

5.1.3 TEMP
Three optional modules are available for TEMP measurement. They are T2 module, TH module
and F3000 module.
Regarding the T2 module and F3000 module, the temperature of human body is first converted
into electronic signals, which are then amplified by amplifier and processed. In this way we can
obtain the TEMP value. The circuit includes proportional amplifier constructed by operational
amplifiers. The temperature passes the thermal sensor, producing pressure signals, which are
amplified and transmitted to A/D converter for further processing.
The TH module works on the principle of infrared radiation. It can quickly take a temperature in
the ear in a non-contact way. The measurement value will be displayed on the LCD of the
thermometer within one second and transmitted to the monitor via communication wire. The
monitor consequently displays and stores the measurement value.
