Data is transmitted in the RS-232 format (pins 2, 3, and 5) or RS-422 (pins 1, 4,
9, and 12). RS-232 data can be transmitted a maximum of 25 feet. The pin outs
for the data port are listed in Table 10-1.

When the instrument is turned off, the contact at pin 7 closes and the
contact at pin 8 opens.
The pin layouts are illustrated in Figure 10-1. The conductive shell is used as
earth ground. An AMP connector is used to connect to the data port. Use AMP
connector (AMP P/N 747538-1), ferrule (AMP P/N 1-747579-2) and compatible
pins (AMP P/N 66570-2).

Figure 10-1: Data Port Pin Layout

When building an RS-422 cable, a resistor (120 , 1/4 watt, 5%) must be added
between pins 1 and 9 of the cable. The end of the cable with the resistor added
must be plugged into the NPB-290. This resistor is not necessary for RS-232
cables.
10-2
The serial cable must have a braided shield providing 100% coverage such as
Beldon cable (Beldon P/N 9616) or equivalent. Connectors at both ends of the
serial cable must have the shield terminated to the full 360 degrees of the
connector's metal shell. Do not create sharp bends in the cable, this may tear or
break the shield.
10.4 REAL-TIME PRINTOUT
When a real-time printout is being transmitted, a new line of data is printed every
2 seconds. Every 25th line will be a Column Heading line. A Column Heading
line will also be printed any time a value in the Column Heading line is changed.
A real time printout is shown below in Figure 10-2.
Note:
NPB-290
Printouts are available only if the instrument is running on AC power.

10.5 NURSE CALL

An RS-232 Nurse Call signal can be obtained by connecting to the data port.
This function is available only when the instrument is operating on AC power.
The RS-232 Nurse Call will be disabled when the unit is operating on battery
power.
The remote location will be signaled anytime there is an audible alarm. If the
audible alarm has been turned off, or silenced, the RS-232 Nurse Call function is
also turned off.
Pin 11 on the data port is the RS-232 Nurse Call signal and pin 10 is ground (see
Figure 10-1). The voltage between pins 10 and 11 will be -5 volts DC to -12
volts DC or +5 volts DC to +12 volts DC depending on the option chosen in
menu item 8. Whenever there is in an audible alarm, the output between pins 10
and 11 will reverse polarity.
An internal Nurse Call relay (pins 7, 8, and 15) provides dry contacts which can
be used to signal a remote alarm. These contacts can be used if the instrument is
operating on AC or on its internal battery. Pin 15 is common, pin 7 is normally
open (N.O.), and pin 8 is normally closed (N.C). The rating of the contacts is
shown in Table 10-4. Table 10-3 shows the state of the contacts for Alarm and
No Alarm conditions, and for Instrument Off.

10.6 ANALOG OUTPUT

Analog outputs are provided for saturation, pulse rate, and a plethysmographic
waveform. These outputs are available only if the monitor is operating on AC
power.
The output voltage is 0.0 to +1.0 volts DC for all three parameters. A 1.0-volt
DC output for saturation equals 100%, for pulse rate it equals 250 bpm, and for
plethysmographic waveform it equals 255 pulse amplitude units (pau). The
voltage will decrease as the values for these parameters decrease.
At power-up, after the completion of POST, a calibration signal will
automatically be sent. This signal can be started manually by accessing menu
item 14. The calibration signal will begin at 0.0 volts DC and hold that point for
60 seconds. It will then jump up to 1.0 volt DC and hold that value for 60
seconds. The third part of the calibration signal is a stair-step signal. The
stair-step signal will start at 0.0 volts DC and increase up to 1.0 volt DC in
0.10-volt increments. Each increment will be held for 1 second.
10.7 INTERACTIVE MODE
Introduction
When the NPB-290 is connected to a PC through the data port, the Interactive
Mode is accessible. If the Interactive Mode has been accessed, real-time serial
output is stopped and serial input is accepted. The user can request printouts and
set date and time through the use of the PC and the data port.
Accessing the Interactive Mode
The Interactive Mode can be accessed when the data port of the NPB-290 is
connected with a serial cable to a PC. Paragraph 10.3 describes the pin outs and
how to build a serial cable.
10-7
The Interactive Mode can be accessed from a standard keyboard on a PC by

holding the control key down and pressing "C" twice. The PC monitor will
display the five options that are available in the Interactive Mode. The five
options are:
1.
Dump Instrument Info
2.
Set Date and Time
3.
Dump Trend
4.
Dump Error Log
5.
Exit Interactive Mode
Interactive Mode Options

Pressing the corresponding number on the PC keyboard accesses options.
Option 1) Dump Instrument Info
Menu item 2 (Trend Clear), described in paragraph 4.3.3, allows the user to
delete the most recent trend data. Deleted trends can still be retrieved from the
instrument through an Instrument Info printout.
The Instrument Info printout (when connected to a printer) or PC display (when
connected to a PC) will show the oldest deleted trend as Trend 01. If a Trend 01
already exists in memory from an earlier Delete, the next deleted trend will
become Trend 02. Every time a trend is deleted the number of existing trends
will increase by 1. The most recently deleted trend will have the largest trend
number.
Figure 10-3 illustrates an Instrument Info printout. The first two lines are the
Column Heading lines. Line one is for instrument type, software revision level,
type of printout, and alarm parameter settings. The second line contains the
column headings. A line of data is recorded for every 2 seconds of instrument
operation. Up to 24 hours of instrument operation data can be recorded.
The final line on the printout is Output Complete. This indicates that data has
been successfully transmitted with no corruption. If there is no Output Complete
printed, the data should be considered invalid.
This option is intended for Mallinckrodt field service personnel.

Option 2) Set Date and Time
When the instrument is sent from the factory, the date and time that have been
entered are for Pacific Standard Time. If the battery has been disconnected or
changed, the real-time clock will not reflect the actual time. For either of these
reasons, it will be necessary to set the date and time. Selecting option 2 allows
these settings to be entered from the PC keyboard.
The format for date and time is DD-MMM-YY HH:MM:SS. The hours, minutes,
and seconds are entered in the 24-hour format. Move the cursor to the value that
needs to be changed and enter the new value.
Option 3) Dump Trend
A Trend printout will include all data recorded for up to 24 hours of monitoring
since the last trend delete was performed. A trend line is recorded every 2
seconds or whenever an alarm condition has occurred. The final line on the
printout is Output Complete. This indicates that data has been successfully
transmitted with no corruption. If there is no Output Complete printed, the data
should be considered invalid. Figure 10-4 is an example of a Trend printout.

11.1 INTRODUCTION
This Technical Supplement provides the reader with a discussion of oximetry
principles and a more in-depth discussion of NPB-290 circuits. A functional
overview and detailed circuit analysis is supported by block and schematic
diagrams. The schematic diagrams are located at the end of this supplement.
11.2 OXIMETRY OVERVIEW
The NPB-290 is based on the principles of spectrophotometry and optical
plethysmography. Optical plethysmography uses light absorption technology to
reproduce waveforms produced by pulsatile blood. The changes that occur in the
absorption of light due to vascular bed changes are reproduced by the pulse
oximeter as plethysmographic waveforms.
Spectrophotometry uses various wavelengths of light to qualitatively measure
light absorption through given substances. Many times each second, the
NPB-290 passes red and infrared light into the sensor site and determines
absorption. The measurements that are taken during the arterial pulse reflect
absorption by arterial blood, nonpulsatile blood, and tissue. The measurements
that are obtained between arterial pulses reflect absorption by nonpulsatile blood
and tissue.
By correcting "during pulse" absorption for "between pulse" absorption, the
NPB-290 determines red and infrared absorption by pulsatile arterial blood.
Because oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin differ in red and infrared
absorption, this corrected measurement can be used to determine the percent of
oxyhemoglobin in arterial blood: SpO2 is the ratio of corrected absorption at each
wavelength.
11.2.1 Functional versus Fractional Saturation
The NPB-290 measures functional saturation, that is, oxygenated hemoglobin

expressed as a percentage of the hemoglobin that is capable of transporting
oxygen. It does not detect significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins. In
contrast, hemoximeters such as the IL482 report fractional saturation, that is,
oxygenated hemoglobin expressed as a percentage of all measured hemoglobin,
including measured dysfunctional hemoglobins.
11-1
Section 11: Technical Supplement
Consequently, before comparing NPB-290 measurements with those obtained by

an instrument that measures fractional saturation, measurements must be
converted as follows:
functional
saturation
fractional
= saturation
100
x 100-(% carboxyhemoglobin +%methemoglobin)
11.2.2 Measured versus Calculated Saturation
When saturation is calculated from a blood gas measurement of the partial

pressure of arterial oxygen (PO2), the calculated value may differ from the NPB290 SpO2 measurement. This is because the calculated saturation may not have
been corrected for the effects of variables that can shift the relationship between
PaO2 and saturation.
Figure 11-1 illustrates the effect that variations in pH, temperature, partial
pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2), and concentrations of 2,3-DPG and fetal
hemoglobin may have on the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve.

11.3 CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
The following paragraphs discuss the operation of each of the printed circuit
boards within the NPB-290 pulse oximeter. (Refer to the appropriate schematic
diagram at the end of this section, as necessary.)
11.4 FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The monitor functional block diagram is shown in Figure 11-2. Most of the
functions of the NPB-290 are performed on the User Interface PCB. Functions
on the User Interface PCB include the SpO2 module, PIC, CPU, and Memory.
Other key components of the NPB-290 are the Power Entry Module (PEM),
Power Supply, and the Display printed circuit board (PCB).
11-2
The Display module consists of the LED display and the Membrane Panel.
Contained on the Membrane Panel are annunciators and push buttons, allowing
the user to access information and to select various available parameters. The
Display PCB contains SpO2, heart rate, and Blip Bar LEDs, and their associated
driver circuits.

11.5 AC INPUT
A selector switch on the back of the NPB-290 allows the user to connect the
monitor to AC power ranging from 100 volts AC to 240 volts AC. The switch
has two positions, one for 100 volts AC through 120 volts AC and one for 200
volts AC through 240 volts AC. Verify that the switch selection matches the AC
power at your location before plugging the monitor into an AC outlet.
AC power enters the NPB-290 through the Power Entry Module (PEM).
A 0.5-amp fuse protects both the "Line" and "Neutral" lines. These useraccessible fuses are located in a fuse drawer, which is part of the PEM located on
the back of the monitor.
11.6 POWER SUPPLY PCB THEORY OF OPERATION
The NPB-290 uses an unregulated linear power supply. This Power Supply
provides the DC power needed to charge the battery and to power the User
Interface PCB. Electro Static Discharge (ESD) protection is also provided by the
power supply.
AC power from the PEM is passed through a step-down transformer, T2, which
has two primary and two secondary windings. If switch SW1 on the back of the
monitor is in the 120 VOLTS AC position, the primary windings are in parallel.
The primary windings are in series if SW1 is in the 240 VOLTS AC position.
11-3
Each secondary winding is fused with a 2.0-amp fuse (F1 and F2). If a short
circuit should occur in the DC circuitry, these fuses prevent the transformer from
overheating. The output of the transformer varies, depending on load and input.
Voltage measured between the outlet of a secondary winding and ground can be
from 6 to 20 volts AC. High frequency noise from the AC line and from the User
Interface PCB is filtered by C6 and C8 before passing through the bridge
rectifier.
The bridge rectifier provides the DC power used in the NPB-290. The positive
output is the MAIN_DC ranging from 7 to 18 volts DC. This positive voltage is
used for the battery circuit and to power the User Interface PCB.
11.6.1 Battery Circuits
Two circuits are included in this section of the Power Supply PCB. One circuit
is used to charge the battery, and the other circuit provides battery protection.
Charging Circuit
The power supply will charge the battery any time the NPB-290 is connected to
AC power even if the monitor is not turned on. The voltage applied to the
battery is 6.8 0.15 volts DC and is current limited to 400 80 mA.
Battery Protection
Two types of battery protection are provided by the power supply: protection for
the battery and protection from the battery.
Switch SW2 is a resettable component that protects the battery. Switch SW2
opens and turns the charging circuit off if the temperature of the battery rises
above 50 C. If the output of the battery exceeds 2.5 amps, F3 opens. Fuse F3
protects the battery from a short to ground of the battery output. Fuse F3 cannot
be reset.
Protection from the battery is provided in case the battery is connected
backwards. Should this happen, the output of the battery is shorted to ground
through CR1 on the User Interface PCB. This provides protection for other
circuits in the monitor.
11.7 BATTERY
A lead-acid battery is used in the NPB-290. It is rated at 6 volts DC, 4 amphours.
When new and fully charged, the battery will operate the monitor for 8 hours. A
new battery will last 15 minutes from the time the low battery alarm is declared
until the unit is shut down due to battery depletion.
The battery can withstand 400 charge/discharge cycles. Recharging the battery
to full capacity takes 14 hours in standby and 18 hours if being used.
Changing from AC to battery power will not interrupt the normal monitoring
operation of the NPB-290. When the unit is running on battery power, the data
port will be turned off along with the RS-232 Nurse Call. The Nurse Call relay
will remain active.
11-4
11.8 USER INTERFACE PCB

The user interface PCB is the heart of the NPB-290. All functions except the
unregulated DC power supply, display, and keypad reside on the user interface
PCB. The following text covers the key circuits of the user interface PCB.
11.8.1 Regulated DC Power Supply
The User Interface PCB receives the MAIN_DC unregulated voltage of 7 to 18

volts DC from the power supply, or 5.8 to 6.5 volts DC from the internal battery.
The power supply on the User Interface PCB generates +10.0, -5.0, and +5.0
volts DC.
11.8.2 Controlling Hardware
There are two microprocessors on the User Interface PCB. The CPU is a
Motorola MC68331CF (331). The second microprocessor PIC16C63 is referred
to as the PIC and is controlled by the CPU.
CPU
The 331 is the main controller of the NPB-290. The 331 controls the front panel
display, data storage, instrument status, sound generation, and monitors and
controls the instrument's power. The 331 also controls data port communication,
the Nurse Call feature, and analog output.
Battery voltage is checked periodically by the processor. A signal from the
processor turns the charging circuit off to allow this measurement to be taken. If
the processor determines that the battery voltage is below 5.85 0.1 volts DC, a
low battery alarm is declared by the PIC. If battery voltage on the User Interface
PCB is measured below 5.67 0.1 volts DC, the monitor will display an error
code and sound an audible alarm. (Voltages measured at the battery will be
slightly higher than the values listed above.) The user will be unable to begin
monitoring a patient if the battery voltage remains below this point. If either
event occurs, plug the unit into an AC source for 14 hours to allow the battery to
fully recharge.
When the NPB-290 is powered by AC, the RS-232 Nurse Call function is
available. If no audible alarm conditions exist, the output will be -5 to -12 volts
DC or +5 volts DC to +12 volts DC. These voltages are dependent upon the
option selected in menu item 8. Should an audible alarm occur, the output would
change polarity.
The 331 also controls a set of dry contacts provided by a relay on the User
Interface PCB. The relay will function normally on AC power or on the internal
battery power.
11-5
When the CPU sends a tone request, three items are used to determine the tone
that is sent by the PIC to the speaker. First, pulse tones change with the %SpO2
value being measured. The pulse beep tone will rise and fall with the measured
%SpO2 value. Second, three levels of alarms, each with its own tone, can occur:
high, medium, and low priority. Third, the volume of the alarm is user
adjustable. Alarm volume can be adjusted from level 1 to level 10, with level 10
being the highest volume.
User's interface includes the front panel display and the keypad. By pressing any
of six keys on the keypad the operator can access different functions of the
NPB-290. The 331 will recognize the keystroke and make the appropriate
change to the monitor display to be viewed by the operator. Any changes made
by the operator (i.e. alarm limits, pulse beep volume) are used by the monitor
until it is turned off. Default values will be restored when the unit is turned back
on.
Patient data is stored by the NPB-290 and can be downloaded to a printer
through the data port provided on the back of the monitor. An in-depth
discussion of the data port is covered in the Section 10 of this manual.
PIC Microprocessor
The PIC controls the SpO2 function and communicates the data to the 331.
A pulse width modulator (PWM) function built into the processor controls the
SpO2 function. PWM signals are sent to control the intensity of the LEDs in the
sensor and to control the gain of the amplifiers receiving the return signals from
the photodetector in the sensor.
Analog signals are received from the SpO2 circuit on the User Interface PCB. An
A/D (Analog to Digital) function in the PIC converts these signals to digital
values for %SpO2 and heart rate. The values are sent to the 331 to be displayed
and stored.
11.8.3 Sensor Output/LED Control
The SpO2 analog circuitry controls the red and infrared (IR) LEDs such that the
received signals are within the dynamic range of the input amplifier. Because
excessive current to the LEDs will induce changes in their spectral output, it is
sometimes necessary to increase the amplification of the received signal channel.
To that point, the PIC controls both the current to the LEDs and the amplification
in the signal channel.
At initialization of transmission, the LED intensity level is based on previous
running conditions, and the transmission intensity is adjusted until the received
signals match the range of the A/D converter. If the LEDs reach maximum
output without the necessary signal strength, the PWMs will increase the channel
gain. The PWM lines will select either a change in the LED current or signal
gain, but will not do both simultaneously.
11-6
The LED drive circuit switches between red and IR transmission and disables
both for a time between transmissions in order to provide a no-transmission
reference. To prevent excessive heat buildup and prolong battery life, each LED
is on for only a small portion of the duty cycle. Also, the frequency of switching
is well above that of motion artifact and not a harmonic of known AC
transmissions. The IR transmission alone, and the red transmission alone, will
each be on for about one-fifth of the duty cycle; this cycle is controlled by the
PIC microprocessor.
11.8.4 Input Conditioning
Input to the SpO2 analog circuit is the current output of the sensor photodiode.
In order to condition the signal current, it is necessary to convert the current to
voltage.
Because the IR and red signals are absorbed differently by body tissue, their
received signal intensities are at different levels. Therefore, the IR and red
signals must be demodulated and then amplified separately in order to compare
them to each other. Demultiplexing is accomplished by means of two circuits
that alternately select the IR and red signal. Two switches that are coordinated
with the IR and red transmissions control selection of the circuits. A filter with
large time constant follows to smooth the signal and remove noise before
amplification.
11.8.5 Signal Gain
The separated IR and red signals are amplified so that their DC values are within
the range of the A/D converter. Because the received IR and red signals are
typically at different current levels, the signal gain circuits provide independent
amplification for each signal as needed. The gain in these circuits is adjusted by
means of the PWM lines from the PIC.
After the IR and red signals are amplified, they are filtered to improve the signalto-noise ratio and clamped to a reference voltage to prevent the combined AC
and DC signal from exceeding an acceptable input voltage from the A/D
converter.
11.8.6 Variable Gain Circuits
The two variable gain circuits are functionally equivalent. The gain of each
circuit is contingent upon the signal's received level and is controlled to bring
each signal to approximately 3.5 volts. Each circuit uses an amplifier and one
switch in the triple single-poll double-throw (SPDT) analog-multiplexing unit.
11.8.7 AC Ranging
In order to measure a specified level of oxygen saturation and to still use a

standard type combined processor and A/D converter, the DC offset is subtracted
from each signal. The DC offsets are subtracted by using an analog switch to set
the mean signal value to the mean of the range of the A/D converter whenever
necessary. The AC modulation is then superimposed upon that DC level. This is
also known as AC ranging.
11-7
Each AC signal is subsequently amplified such that its peak-to-peak values span
one-fifth of the range of the A/D converter. The amplified AC signals are then
filtered to remove the residual effects of the PWM modulations and, finally, are
input to the PIC. The combined AC and DC signals for both IR and red signals
are separately input to the A/D converter.
11.8.8 Real-Time Clock (RTC)
Real time is tracked by the NPB-290. As long as battery power or AC power is

available, the instrument will keep time. If the battery is removed, the time clock
will have to be reset.
11.8.9 Storage of Patient Data
Whenever the NPB-290 is turned on, it stores a "data point" in memory every 2
seconds (regardless of whether the NPB-290 is monitoring a patient or not). Up
to 50 alarm limit changes will also be stored in trend data. The NPB-290 can
store up to 24 hours of trend data. The 24 hours of stored trend data are available
for downloading to Score software for 45 days. There are no limitations on
displaying or printing data.
Caution: Changing alarm limit settings uses up trend memory space. Change
alarm limits only as needed.
Note:
Trend memory always contains the MOST RECENT 24 hours of data, with
newly collected data over-writing the oldest data on a rolling basis. The NPB290 continues to record data points as long as the monitor is powered on, with
"blank" data points collected if no sensor is connected to the monitor or
patient. "Blank" data will over-write older patient data if the memory
becomes full. Therefore, if you want to save old patient data, it is important
that you turn your monitor off when you are not monitoring a patient, and that
you download the trend memory, using Score software, before it fills up and
over-writes the old data with new data (or "blank" data).
Note:
When using Score software use the latest version. Contact Mallinckrodt's
Technical Services Department or your local Mallinckrodt representative to
determine the latest version of Score software.
If battery power is disconnected or depleted, trend data and user settings will be lost. All
data is stored with error detection coding. If data stored in memory is found to be
corrupted, it is discarded.
11.9 FRONT PANEL DISPLAY PCB AND CONTROLS
11.9.1 Display PCB
Visual patient data and monitor status is provided by the Front Panel Display
PCB. At power up, all indicators are illuminated to allow verification of their
proper operation.
There are two sets of three 7-segment displays. One set displays %SpO2 and the
other displays pulse rate. A decimal point immediately to the right of either
display indicates that an alarm limit for that parameter is no longer set at the
power-on default value.
11-8
Between the two 7-segment displays is a 10-segment blip bar. The blip bar
illuminates with each pulse beat. The number of segments illuminated indicates
the relative signal strength of the pulse beat. A tone will accompany each pulse
beat. The sound of the tone will change pitch with the %SpO2 level being
measured.
Five LEDs and icons are also located on the Front Panel Display PCB. An LED
illuminated next to an icon indicates a function that is active. Functions indicated
by the LEDs are AC/Battery Charging, Low Battery, Alarm Silence, Motion, and
Pulse Search.
11.9.2 Membrane Keypad
A membrane keypad is mounted as part of the top case. A ribbon cable from the
keypad passes through the top case and connects to the User Interface PCB. Six
keys allow the operator to access different functions of the NPB-290.
These keys allow the user to select and adjust the alarm limits, cycle power to the
unit, and to silence the alarm. Alarm volume and alarm silence duration can also
be adjusted via the keypad. A number of other functions can be accessed by
pressing the Upper and Lower Alarm Limit buttons simultaneously and then
selecting the desired option with the Adjust Up or Adjust Down button. These
functions are discussed in greater detail in Section 4.
