Overview
PM-60 is a miniature, lightweight device for SpO2 and pulse-rate measurement in spot-check or continuous monitoring mode. The operating mode changes how patient identification, alarms and stored data are handled. The source describes use with adult, pediatric and neonatal patients, making the intended patient group and monitoring workflow relevant configuration decisions.[11]
Technical features
- Spot-check mode offers automatic patient-ID assignment, an alarm-suppression state and automatic standby and power-off functions. Its memory stores 4,000 data sets for a maximum of 99 patient IDs.[11]
- Continuous mode provides manual entry of unique patient IDs, alarm management and a pleth waveform display. Memory supports 96 hours of trend data for one patient in this mode.[11]
- A 2.4-inch color LCD displays SpO2 and pulse rate with adjustable brightness. Visual and audible alarms are adjustable, and users can choose whether to display the alarm limits. Stored patient data can be exported to a PC using a communication cable.[11]
Configuration considerations
Select spot-check or continuous use and the intended battery arrangement: the source lists lithium-ion or AA alkaline batteries. Match the storage workflow to the mode; the stated memory capacities are mode-specific.[11]
