Monitoring glossary lectures 3-5 Flashcards
Poiseuilles’s Law
resitance =8xVxL/pi r^4
leakage current
current that passes from energized electrical portions of device to metal chassis and the to the earth ground natural occurrence. all electrical equipment has leakage current
macroshock
causes ventricular fibrillation high value
microshock
low value current that passes directly to heart via in dwelling needle or catheter
< 1ma for 1 sec
faint tingling
1-8 mA
maximum harmless current
10-20 mA
PAINFUL SHOCK WITH LOSS OF MUSCULAR CONTROL LET GO THRESHHOLD
20-50MA
EXTREME PAIN FAINTING CANNOT LET GO
100-200mA
VENT. FIB. WILL START BUT RESPIRATORY WILL BE OK
NERVE DAMAGE
200+mA
CARDIAC ARREST SEVER BURNS DEATH
standard safe microshock leakage
5mA OR 60 Hz
line isolation monitor
predicts next fault monitors impedance
biometrics
science that include measurment off physiological variables and parameters
range
all input levels of amplitude and frequency which device is expected to operate
sensitivity
how small a variation that can be detected. ratio of output amplitude vs input amplitude
linearity
degree that variations in the output follow variation in input 1 to 1
hysteresis
“to be behind” variable response
