Chapter 1: Introduction

WARNING! This device is intended for use by persons trained in professional health care or those who
have access to the oversight of a professional health care provider. The operator must be
thoroughly familiar with the information in this manual before using the device.

WARNING! It is the operator’s responsibility to set alarm limits appropriately for each individual patient
and to verify proper alarm and functional operation before leaving patient unattended.

WARNING! Prolonged use or the patient’s condition may require changing the sensor site periodically.
Change sensor site and check skin integrity, circulatory status, and correct alignment at least
every 4 hours.

WARNING! When attaching SpO2 sensors with Microfoam® tape, do not stretch the tape or attach the
tape too tightly. Tape applied too tightly may cause inaccurate readings and blisters on the
patient’s skin (lack of skin respiration, not heat, causes the blisters).

WARNING! Incorrectly applied sensors may give inaccurate readings. 2 Refer to the sensor insert for
proper application instructions.

WARNING! Use only SpO2 sensors supplied with, or specifically intended for use with, this device.

WARNING! SpO2 measurements may be adversely affected in the presence of high ambient light. If
necessary, shield the sensor area (with a surgical towel, for example).

WARNING! Dyes introduced into the bloodstream, such as methylene blue, indocyanine green, indigo
carmine, patent blue V (PBV), and fluorescein, may adversely affect the accuracy of the SpO2
reading

WARNING! Any condition that restricts blood flow, such as use of a blood pressure cuff or extremes in
systemic vascular resistance, may cause an inability to determine accurate pulse and SpO2
readings.

WARNING! Optical cross-talk can occur when two or more sensors are placed in close proximity. It can be
eliminated by covering each site with opaque material.

WARNING! Remove fingernail polish or false fingernails before applying SpO2 sensors. Fingernail polish
or false fingernails may cause inaccurate SpO2 readings.

WARNING! Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins, such as carboxyhemoglobin (with CO-

poisoning) or methemoglobin (with sulfonamide therapy), will adversely affect the accuracy
of the SpO2 measurement.

WARNING! Tissue damage may result from overexposure to sensor light during photodynamic therapy
with agents such as verteporphin, porfimer sodium and meta-tetrahydroxyphenylchlorin
(mTHPC). Change the sensor site at least every hour and observe for signs of tissue damage.
More frequent sensor site changes or inspections may be indicated depending upon the
photodynamic agent used, agent dose, skin condition, total exposure time or other factors.

or contact your authorized repair center for help.

WARNING! Using a damaged patient cable may cause inaccurate readings, possibly resulting in injury or
death. Inspect the patient cable. If the patient cable appears damaged, do not use it. Contact
your authorized repair center for help.

WARNING! If any of the integrity checks fail, do not attempt to monitor the patient. Use another sensor
or patient cable, or contact the equipment dealer for help.

WARNING! When connecting this monitor to any instrument, verify proper operation before clinical use.
Refer to the instrument’s user manual for full instructions. Accessory equipment connected to
the monitor’s data interface must be certified according to the respective IEC standards, i.e.,
IEC 60950 for data-processing equipment or IEC 60601-1 for electromedical equipment. All
combinations of equipment must be in compliance with IEC 60601-1-1 systems requirements.
Anyone connecting additional equipment to the signal input port or signal output port
configures a medical system, and, therefore, is responsible that the system complies with the
requirements of the system standard IEC 60601-1-1.

WARNING! IEC 60950 approved equipment including the MCP8850B printer must be placed outside of
the “patient environment.” The patient environment is defined as an area 1.5m (4.92 feet)
from the patient.

Figure 1.1: Patient Environment

WARNING! Do not place the monitor in the patient’s bed or crib. Do not place the monitor on the floor.

WARNING! Failure to place the monitor away from the patient may allow the patient to turn off, reset, or
damage the monitor, possibly resulting in the patient not being monitored. Make sure the
patient cannot reach the monitor from their bed or crib.

WARNING! Failure to carefully route the cable from the sensor to the monitor may allow the patient to
become entangled in the cable, possibly resulting in patient strangulation. Route the cable
in a way that will prevent the patient from becoming entangled in the cable. If necessary, use
tape to secure the cable.

WARNING! Under certain clinical conditions, pulse oximeters may display dashes if unable to display
SpO2 and/or pulse rate values. Under these conditions, pulse oximeters may also display
erroneous values. These conditions include, but are not limited to: patient motion, low
perfusion, cardiac arrhythmias, high or low pulse rates or a combination of the above
conditions. Failure of the clinician to recognize the effects of these conditions on pulse
oximeter readings may result in patient injury.

CAUTION! Ensure the device’s AC rating is correct for the AC voltage at your installation site before using
the monitor. The AC rating is set by a switch located on the bottom of the monitor. If the rating
is not correct, set the switch to the correct setting.

CAUTION! Do not autoclave, ehtylene oxide sterilize, or immerse the monitor in liquid. Do not allow
water or any other liquid to spill onto the monitor. Unplug the AC power cord from the
monitor before cleaning or disinfecting the monitor. Evidence that liquid has been allowed to
enter the monitor voids the warranty.

CAUTION! Should the device become wet, wipe off all moisture and allow sufficient time for drying
before operating.

CAUTION! Do not autoclave, ethylene oxide sterilize, or immerse the sensors in liquid. Unplug the sensor
from the monitor before cleaning or disinfecting.

CAUTION! The monitor should be operated from its internal power source if the integrity of the
protective earth conductor is in doubt.

CAUTION! Follow local governing ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal and recycling
of device components.

CAUTION! Pressing front panel keys with sharp or pointed instruments may permanently damage the
keypad. Press front panel keys only with your finger.

CAUTION! Blocking the ventilation holes on the monitor’s rear panel can prevent air circulation inside
the monitor. Leave an air gap behind the monitor to allow the air to circulate through the
ventilation holes.

CAUTION! Device batteries are not user replaceable. This unit may contain a Lead Acid and/or NiMH
battery. Disposal of such batteries should be conducted in accordance to local or federal
guidelines. Smiths Medical PM, Inc. can not dispose of these batteries.

 Chapter 1: Introduction

Notes
NOTE! Obstructions or dirt on the sensor’s red light or detector may cause a sensor failure. Make sure
there are no obstructions and the sensor is clean.

NOTE! If an operator changes the low SpO2 alarm limit to a value less than 80, and a power down - power
up sequence takes place, a minimum value of 85 takes the place of the operator entered value.

NOTE! The pitch of the pulse beep is determined by the SpO2 value. The higher the SpO2 value, the
higher the pulse beep pitch, and vice versa.

NOTE! All user and patient accessible materials are non-toxic.

NOTE! Performance and safety test data are available upon request.

NOTE! High priority alarms can be tested by setting the alarm limits outside the patient’s measurements.
Be sure to restore alarm limits after testing.

Chapter 2: Oximeter Circuit Description

System Context
This document describes the operational electronic hardware for the BCI® 3180 main board, 71952B1. This
document is meant to supplement the system schematics 71952S1-1-8 (Please see 71950SRS, 3180 Oximeter
Requirements Summary and 71960SDR, Software Design Requirements, for additional information on the
monitor and it’s hardware design).

Block Diagram (Top Level Schematic)

The top level schematic contains 7 lower level sections.

Power Entry
The BCI® 3180 takes power directly from a line cord. There is no external “brick”. The line input is fused and
routed through an EMI filter consisting of inductor L4 and capacitor C6. TR1 is a transorb that limits voltage
spikes coming in from the line.

The voltage selector switch SW3 is used to select between 110VAC and 220VAC operation. This switch is
accessible by the user through the bottom of the case of the 3180. The transformer T1, bridge D1 and the
capacitors form a simple unregulated power supply capable of delivering 24VDC at 1.0A.

Battery Charger
The BCI® 3180 uses an internal battery to provide power during line interruptions. The circuit has been designed
to support two different battery technologies: Lead Acid and NiMH. The board is built up to specifically support
one of the two battery technologies.

Both battery charger designs use the LT1074 (U1) to deliver charge current to the battery and power to the
system. The battery (-) is tied to system ground through a resister (R26). When the charger is active the voltage
drop across this resister is used to control the charge current to the battery independent of the current drawn
from the supply to power the oximeter.

For a Lead Acid system the charge current is controlled with U3B by regulating a 360mV drop across R26. During
normal charging R26 is in parallel with R22\R28 for a charge current of 480mA. The peak battery voltage is
detected by the comparitor at U8A. When the peak voltage occurs this amp is latched low with diode D6. This
then turns off Q4 and releases the R22\R28 resisters from the sense line. The charge current drops to a trickle
value of 4.4mA. Q3 is used to generate a CHARGE signal to the processor. Q20 and D19 limit the supply voltage
to U8A so that U8, Q3 and Q4 are not damaged during high line conditions.

The NiMH system substitutes the Maxim MAX713 for the descrete design and provides the same control of
charge current via R26. This chip also provides temperature compensation of the the charge cycle using T3, T4
and a thermister located inside the NiMH battery pack.

The battery disconnect switch SW1 is used to positively disconnect the battery from the system during shipment
and long storage intervals.

3180 Service Manual 2-1

Chapter 2: Oximeter Circuit Description

Vcc Power Supply

The 5V power for the BCI® 3180 is provided by a Micrel MC5157 linear regulator (U5) and pass MOSFET (Q6). The
direct output from this supply provides digital system power and power to the LCD backlight. Q19 is used to
turn the backlight on and off. A filter (L2\C25) is used to isolate the digital noise from the analog 5V supply. A
Maxim MAX860 voltage inverter converts the analog +5 to –5V for the oximeter front end circuitry. A second
negative supply is provided by the Maxim MAX749 for the bias voltage on the LCD display. Contrast adjustment
is achieved using the internal control of the MAX749 using the LCD-ADJ and LCD-CTL lines from the processor.
The network made up of R35, R114 and T5 provides temperature compensation for the contrast voltage. The
MAX690 watchdog timer provides the /RESET signal to the processor. It also switches the supply to the system
RAM from Vcc to battery power when the system is powered down. The PFI input and /PFO output are used to
monitor the “low low” condition of the battery and to disconnect the system and prevent deep discharge. Q5
provides a level shift and isolation for the power key on the front panel. The system has hardware turn on (via
Q5, D9 and U5) and software turn off (via /HALT, D10 and U4).

CPU Core
The system clock for the BCI® 3180 is generated by X1, U32 and R97. This 18.432Mhz signal is fed into the
Cypress Semiconductor PPL (U86). This chip provides a frequency modulated output that has a center frequency
of 18.432Mhz but is spread out over a 25Khz band to limit EMI spikes. Both clocks are routed to the Altera
EPM7064 FPGA (U14). The processor gets the modulated clock and the oximeter PIC processor gets a divided
down version of the unmodulated clock. A separate modulated clock is provided to the LCD display at P12. In
this way the oximeter timing is precise while EMI is reduced.

The FPGA contains all of the “glue” logic in the system as well as an audio DAC for controlling the audio
volume. The Zilog ZS180 8 bit microprocessor (U8) contains several internal peripheral elements including
two timers, two UARTS, an MMU, two DMA channels and a Synchronous Serial Port. This is supplemented with
up to 512Kbytes of ROM (U9) and 128Kbytes of RAM (U10). The buffer at U18 and header P1 provide the link
between the processor and the LCD display. The signals on header P8 are used to reprogram the FPGA during
development or service updates. The configuration switch SW2 is not currently used.

Keypad and LEDs

The keypad has five keys and four LEDs. The keys are read directly by the processor and not “scanned”. Three
of the LEDs are under processor control while the fourth is powered from Vchg and is lit whenever AC power is
applied the unit.

Audio and I/O

The audio output from the monitor is amplified by the TPA301 at U17. The Dallas DS1302 RTCC (U18) provides
the system with a real time clock and calendar for marking trend information. U18 has an internal oscillator and
uses X2 to keep at 32Khz time base. The RTCC is powered from the battery with the system RAM when power is
off. The PIC processor at U19 provides a serial link to an infrared printer. The Z180 processor uses one of internal
UARTs to send data to the PIC which passes it on to the IR printer using emitter D12.

Oximeter Section
The Oximeter front end circuitry is controlled by the Microchip PIC16F873 (U85). Connector P11 is used to
reprogram the PIC on the board during development. The following signals are used by the PIC to control the
oximeter hardware and to communicate with the Z180 host processor.

The Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) U25 is a 12 bit, successive approximation sampling ADC. The ADC +IN
signal input comes from TP14. VREF is used here as a pseudo ground. The ADC is configured as a differential
input converter with the -IN input connected to VREF. This allows the +IN signal to range from 2.5V to 5V.

The ADC transfers data with a 3 wire serial interface. AD-CLK synchronizes the data transfer with each bit being
transmitted on the falling AD-CLK edge and captured on the rising AD-CLK edge. /AD-CS must be held low
when the ADC transmits data.

LED Drive circuitry is used to turn on and off the Oximetry probe LED’s, precisely controlling the current through
them. The second half of the variable potentiometer U24 is used to generate voltage between 0 and 2.5VDC.
U24 is controlled, serially, by the PIC processor. Operational amplifier U27B together with transistor Q16 create
a constant current sink. The current is proportional to the voltage generated by variable potentiometer. The
H-bridge Q13-Q14 is used to activate either LED, red or infrared, inside the Oximeter probe. The following table
describes the states of the H-bridge:

RED-DRV IR-DRV /RED-ENBL /IR-ENBL Function

1 0 0 1 Red LED is on
0 1 1 0 Infrared LED is on
0 0 1 1 “Open circuit” state

In this table 1 indicates logic 1, 0 indicates logic 0.

The “Open circuit” state is used to check for a possible probe cable fault. In case of probe cable fault, one of the
LED wires can short to the ground shield causing high current through the probe LED. To prevent this, before
turning any LED on, the processor checks the cable by “floating” the H-bridge. If the cable is shorted, CON3
and CON2 connections are pulled low, and comparator U28B generates /PRB_FAULT signal, which causes the
processor to shut down the LED excitation cycle and generate the appropriate message.

3180 Service Manual 2-3

Chapter 2: Oximeter Circuit Description

The differential photo amplifier formed by U21 and U20B, converts the photodetector’s current output to a
voltage at TP11 (VAMB). Amplifier U20A offsets the signal at TP11 allowing a wider signal range for the negative-
going pulses at TP12.

Comparator U28A is used to inform the microprocessor if U20B is saturated by an excess of ambient light. VAMB
is passed through blocking capacitor C76 to remove the signal’s DC component. The signal is then buffered
and amplified by U23A. Gain is defined by the first channel of digital potentiometer U24. The output of U23A is
routed to the integrator-filter-offset circuitry U23B, controlled by analog switch U22. The output of the integrator
is then routed to the ADC for measurement.

Waveform Test Points

The following oscilloscope screens show typical waveforms from the probe detector’s amplifier and data
acquisition circuits. Unless otherwise noted:
• The waveforms are measured with respect to ground at C3(-).

• The oscilloscope is triggered on TP13, falling edge.

• The waveforms are measured with the finger probe attached to the oximeter with finger or piece of paper
in probe.

Chapter 3: Field Service Menu

Accessing the Field Service Menu

Some factory service menu options can also be set through the Field Service menu on the monitor. To access
the field service menu, power up the unit and use two hands to momentarily press the MENU/ENTER (b) and
u
Alarm Audio OFF/PAUSE ( ) keys at the same time. When the power up screen goes away, press MENU/ENTER
to display the main menu. Press MENU/ENTER again to select “SERVICE”, which is the first item in this menu.
• Date Format: “USA” selects a date format of month/day/year. “EURO” selects a European
date: day/month/year.
NOTE: When the language is changed, you will not see the display in that language until after you exit the
Service menu. The monitor will power down and the new language is loaded at power up.

• Language: Selects the language for all displayed text: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, or
Portuguese.
• Trend Sample: This selects the basic sample time for trend data record storage. The sample time
determines the maximum number of records stored and consequently the maximum storage time.
“4 sec/12 hrs” means 4 second sample time for 12 hours maximum storage. “12 sec/36 hrs” means 12
second sample time for 36 hours maximum storage. “30 sec/90 hrs” means 30 second sample time for
90 hours maximum storage.

NOTE: If the Trend Sample time is changed, the monitor will turn off after quitting the Service menu. This
forces the monitor to reconfigure memory at power up and the trends will be cleared.

• Default?: “NO” means the monitor will NOT reset to factory default settings. “YES” means the monitor
will reset to factory default settings as shown below:
