TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER (96281) OPERATIONS MANUAL 1-7
I NTRODUCTION
Potential Users
The potential users of the 96281 telemetry transmitter are classified into the groups that follow.
Nurses
Nurses attach the transmitter to the patient, maintain the ECG electrodes, SpO
2
sensor, and
generally care for the patient. They may also admit the patient to the monitoring system and
monitor the patient.
Monitor Technicians
Monitor technicians may surveil patients at a central station or monitoring room configuration.
Technicians may also admit patients to the system and prepare the transmitter with fresh batteries
and electrodes.
Biomedical Engineers
A biomedical engineer, or biomed, may install, support, and repair monitoring systems, including
telemetry. Biomeds may work directly for the hospital, for a third-party contract organization, or be
a Spacelabs Healthcare Field Service Engineer (FSE).
Physicians
Physicians may be common reviewers of the physiological data that is collected and subsequently
presented on a monitor or at a full disclosure review station. Physicians may be responsible to treat
telemetry patients, including the use of defibrillation.
Patients
A telemetry patient may carry a transmitter in a gown pocket or in a pouch (the transmitter is
connected to the patient by way of electrodes attached directly to the patient’s body). The patient
can initiate a recording by pressing the Action button on the front of the transmitter if it is
configured for this at the central station or bedside monitor.
Note:
The central monitor or station may be configured to ignore messages from individual telemetry
transmitter units if a patient is likely to misuse this capability. Refer to the user manuals for your
central monitor or station for more information.
