Background and Identification
The Datex-Ohmeda 3740 is a pulse oximeter made by GE’s Datex-Ohmeda division. GE Healthcare acquired Instrumentarium’s Datex-Ohmeda division in 2003. The division produces anesthesia, respiratory, and monitoring equipment. The Datex Ohmeda brand is still branded on select GE equipment. Pulse oximeters are non-invasive devices used to monitor a patient’s oxygen saturation. The 3740 model is designed for use in intensive care, in-hospital transport, pulmonary rehabilitation, emergency care, ventilator weaning, anesthesia and post-anesthesia care, sleep studies, and oral or plastic surgery.
The Datex-Ohmeda 3740 pulse oximeter is a stand-alone device that continuously monitors the patient’s saturated oxygen level and pulse rate. Trend information can be sent through analog and digital output ports. Eight hours of data for saturated oxygen levels and pulse rate can be stored. If the patient’s saturated oxygen levels or pulse rate falls below specified levels, the monitor produces both visual and audible alarms. The 3740 monitor includes a battery backup in case of power failure. It is advertised to operate up to 3.5 hours on one charge.
This pulse oximeter includes the name “Biox 3740 Pulse Oximeter” printed in a white font at the top of the device. A variety of buttons are located on the monitor’s front face. The oximeter’s display is tinged a green color.
