Overview of the Telemetry Transmitter
(96281-A/96281-B/96281-C)
When worn by a patient, the 96281 telemetry transmitter acquires
ECG data through electrodes attached directly to the patient’s body.
Additionally, the 96281-C telemetry transmitter can acquire SpO
2
data through sensors attached to the patient’s body. It transmits
acquired data to the telemetry antenna infrastructure for processing
by a telemetry receiver. This transmitted data may then show on a
central station or bedside monitor. Refer to About the Transmitters
on page 2-1 for more detailed information about each telemetry
Warnings indicate potentially harmful conditions that may
lead to injury or death.
Cautions indicate conditions that may lead to damage to or
malfunction of the device.
