Welch Allyn Connex Vital Signs Monitor RRa - Quick Reference Guide - Manual

Connect the SpO2/RRa dual cable
Note Monitors configured to measure RRa require a dual cable as shown.
The dual cable has two ports, one for the SpO2 cable and the other for the RRa cable.
1. Connect the dual cable to the device.
2. Connect the SpO2 cable to the red Pulse CO-Oximetry port.
3. Attach the RRa patient cable to the Acoustic Monitoring port.
See the dual cable manufacturer’s directions for use for more information.
Note Labels on the dual connector and the patient cables help ensure proper connection
of the patient cables to the dual cable.
4. Attach the single-use RRa patient sensor to the RRa patient cable.
Acoustic respiration rate (RRa)
Monitors configured with Masimo rainbow Acoustic Monitoring technology continuously and noninvasively measure respiration rate based on respiratory sounds
produced in the upper airway. Respiratory sounds are detected through a sensor applied to the patient’s neck.
Note RRa is available only in the Continuous Monitoring profile.
Note Masimo SpO2 monitoring is required when monitoring RRa.
Note RRa monitoring is only for adult patients who weigh more than 66 pounds (30 kilograms).
