The acquired 12 lead with 12SL
 may be faxed to a remote location using landline or cellular phone technology.
Several PCMCIA fax modems are supported and the modem determines the specific phone compatibility. Cellular
phone support includes analog AMPS phones (in the U.S.) and GSM phones (internationally). The M-Series supports
Group 3 facsimile, Class 1 and Class 2. 12 lead reports may be re-printed or re-transmitted using the Patient Records
capability. Individual patient records may be selected based on patient ID, date, and time.
Pulse Oximetry (S P O
2
)
The ZOLL M Series pulse oximetry option enables the user to continuously, noninvasively, and painlessly monitor the
percentage of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin at a peripheral measurement site (i.e.foot, toe or finger.)
The oximetry sensor contains two light emitting diodes, or LEDs, that transmit red and infrared light through the
body’s extremities. A photodetector receives the transmitted light. Oxygen saturated blood absorbs light differently
than unsaturated blood. Thus the amount of red and infrared light absorbed by the blood flowing through a suitable
peripheral area of the body, such as the finger in adults and the foot in neonates, can be used to calculate the ratio of
oxygenated hemoglobin to total hemoglobin in the arterial blood. The monitor displays this ratio as percent SpO
2
.
Normal values typically range from 95% to 100% at sea level.
The M Series uses a Masimo

Pulse Oximetry Circuit Board which features a fundamentally distinct method of
acquiring, processing and reporting arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate. The M Series’ SpO
2
module (Masimo

Circuit Board) connects to the Masimo sensors and reports monitoring results (oxygen saturation, pulse rate, pulse
waveform, etc.) via a serial digital interface to the M Series system board. The M Series system provides isolated DC
power and serial communication to the SpO
2
Board via the Isolated Power Supply board.
End Tidal Carbon Dioxide (EtCO
2
)
The ZOLL M Series EtCO
2
Novametrix technology and Capnostat

sensor option continually and noninvasively
monitors the patient’s carbon dioxide in respiratory gases and from these measurements computes End Tidal CO
2
and
respiration rate. The unit can display and print a recording of EtCO
2
readings, respiration rates, and capnograph
waveforms. In addition, the unit can configure an alarm to sound when the unit detects EtCO
2
values and respiration
rates that are above or below acceptable ranges as set by the user. This option is intended for use in all critical
monitoring environments including ventilator support, patient transport, and anesthesia and is intended for monitoring
all patient types, including adult, pediatric, and neonatal.
