The Nellcor Puritan Bennett NPB-40 is a portable pulse oximeter designed to perform non-invasive in situ measurements of functional arterial hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse frequency. It is intended for use on adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients in mobile environments provided it is protected from excessive humidity.
The device operates by applying a sensor to a vascular arterial base with a pulse, such as a finger or toe. The manual details the setup process, including battery installation, performing an autotest upon startup, and connecting compatible sensors. It also covers data storage and printing capabilities using external Hewlett-Packard printers. This manual is written in Spanish.
