    2 Functional description
    2.1 Measurement principle
    2.1.1 NIBP
    NIBP (Non-Invasive Blood Pressure) is an indirect method for measuring blood pressure.
    The NIBP measurement is performed according to the oscillometric measuring principle. The 
    cuff is inflated with a pressure slightly higher than the presumed systolic pressure, and deflated 
    at a speed based on the patient’s pulse, collecting data from the oscillations caused by the 
    pulsating artery. Based on these  oscillations, values for systolic, mean, and diastolic pressures 
    are calculated.
    The following parts are necessary for the NIBP measurement:
    •E-PSMP/E-PSM module
    •twin hose (adult or infant model)
    •blood pressure cuffs (various sizes)
    2.1.2 ECG
    Electrocardiography analyzes the electrical acti vity of the heart by measuring the electrical 
    potential produced with electrodes  placed on the surface of the body.
    ECG reflects:
    •electrical activity of the heart
    •normal/abnormal function of the heart
    •effects of anesthesia on heart function
    •effects of surgery on heart function
    See the “Users Guide” or the “User’s Reference Manual” for electrodes’ positions and other 
    information.
    2.1.3 Pulse oximetry
    A pulse oximeter measures the light absorption of blood at two wavelengths, one in the near 
    infrared (about 940 nm) and the other in the red region (about 660 nm) of the light spectrum. 
    These wavelengths are emitted by LEDs in the SpO
    2 probe, the light is transmitted through 
    peripheral tissue and is finally detected by a PI N-diode opposite the LEDs in the probe. The 
    pulse oximeter derives the oxygen saturation (SpO
    2) using an empirically determined 
    relationship between the relative absorption at the two wavelengths and the arterial oxygen 
    saturation SaO
    2.
    In order to measure the arterial saturation accurately, pulse oximeters use the component of 
    light absorption giving variations synchronous with heart beat as primary information on the 
    arterial saturation. 
    A general limitation of pulse oximet ry is that due to the use of only two wavelengths, only two 
    hemoglobin species can be discriminated by the measurement. 
    						
    							Patient Side Module, E-PSM, E-PSMP (Rev. 01) 9
    Document no. M1215098-002
    The modern pulse oximeters are empirically calibrated either against fractional saturation 
    SaO
    2frac; Formula 1
    or against functional saturation SaO
    2func;
    Formula 2
    Functional saturation is more insensitive to changes of carboxyhemoglobin and 
    methemoglobin concentrations in blood.
    The oxygen saturation percentage SpO
    2 measured by the module is calibrated against 
    functional saturation SaO
    2func. The advantage of this method is that the accuracy of SpO2 
    measurement relative to SaO
    2func can be maintained even at rather high concentrations of 
    carboxyhemoglobin in blood. Independent of th e calibration method, pulse oximeters are not 
    able to correctly measure oxygen content of the arterial blood at elevated carboxyhemoglobin 
    or methemoglobin levels.
    Plethysmographic pulse wave
    The plethysmographic waveform is derived from  the IR signal and reflects the blood pulsation 
    at the measuring site. Thus the amplitude of the waveform represents the perfusion.
    Pulse rate
    The pulse rate calculation is done by peak detection of the plethysmographic pulse wave. The 
    signals are filtered to reduce noise and checked to separate artifacts.

    Figure 3 Pulse oximetry probe parts layout and schematic diagram
    The standard probe is a finger clamp probe which contains the light source LEDs in one half 
    and the photodiode detector in the other half. Different kinds of probes are available from GE 
    Healthcare.
    2.1.4 Temperature
    The temperature is measured by a probe whose resistance varies when the temperature 
    changes, called NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) resistor.
    The resistance can be measured by two complementary methods:
    •Applying a constant voltage across the resistor and measuring the current that flows 
    through it.
    •Applying a constant current through the resistor and measuring the voltage that is 
    generated across it.
    The E-PSM(P) module uses the constant current me thod. The NTC-resistor is connected in series 
    with a normal resistor and a constant current is applied through them. The temperature 
    dependent voltage can be detected at the junction of the resistors, thus producing the 
    temperature signal from the patient. The signal  is amplified by analog amplifiers and further 
    processed by digital electronics.
    2.1.5 Invasive blood pressure
    To measure invasive blood pressure, a catheter is inserted into an artery or vein. The invasive 
    pressure setup, consisting of a connecting tubing, a 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.

    2.1.6 Respiration
    Impedance respiration is measured across the thorax between ECG electrodes. The respiration 
    signal is made by supplying current between the electrodes and by measuring the differential 
    current from the electrodes. The signal measured is the impedance change caused by 
    breathing. The respiration rate is calculated from these impedance changes, and the 
    respiration waveform is displayed on the screen. 
    2.2 Main components
    2.2.1 E-PSMP/E-PSM      
    Figure 4 Front panel of E-PSMP
    The E-PSMP and E-PSM modules contain three main PC boards, the STP board, the ECG board, 
    and the NIBP board. Each of these boards contain a processor and software in the processor 
    flash memory. The boards produce their own  supply voltages from the Vmod 13.8-16 V line 
    that is available via the module bus connector. In  addition to this, the NIBP board provides +5V 
    for the ECG and STP board non-isolated side components. The NIBP board provides also the 
    synchronization signal for the ECG and STP board power supplies.
    There are two input boards; the STP input board and the ECG input board attached to the front 
    panel of the module. The front panel has five connectors and four keys. There is one connector 
    for two temperature measurements, one for two  invasive blood pressure measurements, one 
    for ECG, one for NIBP, and one for SpO
    2 measurement. The NIBP connector includes two 
    plungers for NIBP hose identification. The keys are for NIBP Auto On/Off, NIBP Start/Cancel, P1 
    zero, and P2 zero.
    NOTE: The connectors and keys depend on the mo dule variant, and some variants may not 
    have all the mentioned connectors and keys. 1. Module keys

    2.2.2 NIBP board 
    Figure 5 NIBP board functional block diagram
    Signal processing
    Two signals from the pressure transducers are amplified and sent to the A/D converter. After 
    the converter, digitized signals are sent to the microprocessor for data processing.
    The NIBP board is controlled with an H8/3052 microprocessor  at 16 MHz oscillator frequency.
    Memory
    The NIBP program memory (processor flash me mory) size is 512k x 8. The processor has 
    4 kBytes RAM and there is also an external RAM memory, the size of which is 128k x 8. Variable 
    values of the NIBP measurement  are stored into the external RAM. The EEPROM size is 512 x 8 
    and it is used to store the calibration values for the pressure transducers, the pulse valve 
    constants gained during measurements, the PC board identification, and the module serial 
    number.

    Software control
    The software controls valves and a pump. In addi tion to the individual on/off signals for each 
    component there is a common power switch for the valves and the pump that can be used at 
    pump/valve failures.
    In addition to external RS485 reset line, the  microprocessor system is equipped with its own 
    power-up reset. See the section in the ECG  board’s description: “RS485 communication.”
    Safety circuit
    The NIBP board is equipped with an independent  safety circuit to disconnect supply voltages 
    from the pump and the valves if the cuff has been pressurized longer than the preset 
    maximum measurement time, or if the pressure  of the cuff is inflated over the specified 
    pressure limit. The maximum measurement time values and pressure limits for different 
    measurement modes have been specified in the te chnical specification section of this manual.
    Pneumatics
    The module has the following pneumatics parts:
    1.Intake air filter ; for preventing dust and other parts from entering the air pump and the 
    valves.
    2. Air pump ; for pumping the measuring pressure of the cuff.
    3. (Pulse) Valve ; for producing a linear pressure fall (bleeding) in order to measure the blood 
    pressure of the patient. 
    Note that in the service menu also names  Valve and Set valve  have been used for this 
    valve.
    4. Safety valve ; The safety valve is intended to be used for deflating the cuff in single fault 
    case, i.e. to prevent too long a measurement ti me or too high an inflation pressure of the 
    cuff. 
    Note that also  Exh2 valve has been used to designate the  Safety valve in service menu. 
    5. Main pressure sensor ; for measuring the pressure of the blood pressure cuff and the 
    pressure fluctuations caused by arterial wall movement.
    6. Safety pressure sensor;  for detecting the cuff loose, cuff  occlusion situations, etc. and for 
    recognizing the pressure sensor fault.
    7. Cuff connector;  for connection and hose identification.

    Power supply section of the NIBP board
    All connections are established via a 5-pin connector (female). The module needs a +15 V (dirty) 
    power supply to operate. The supply voltage Vmod 13.8- 16 V is generated in the power supply 
    section of the monitor. The other voltages nee ded for the operation of the NIBP measurement 
    are made on the NIBP board.
    The NIBP power supply synchronizes the ECG and STP isolation power and supplies 
    non-isolated 5 V to the ECG and STP board.
