What is INDEX 2?
INDEX 2 is a battery-operated, portable electronic test instrument, capable of verifying operation
of Pulse Oximeters under a wide range of physiological and ambient conditions.
INDEX 2 has the ability to closely match individual manufacturers algorithms, and has many
"on-board" algorithms. Additional information may be created and loaded into INDEX 2
through its serial communications port.
INDEX 2 can be addressed and operated from its front keyboard softkeys, using the LCD menu
system interface on the front panel. INDEX 2 can optionally also be operated via use of its RS-
232 port with a PC or PC-compatible computer using proper terminal software or BIO-TEK
INSTRUMENTS, Inc.'s OTIS control software.
INDEX 2 also provides the ability to electrically test oximeter probes and both electrically and
optically provide simulation signals to an extension.
Index 2 uses a lead/acid "gel" closed cell battery. The AC adapter/charger may be left connected
to INDEX 2 all the time with no degradation of battery life as long as the charger is plugged in.
If only connecting the charger to charge the battery, a full charge takes at least 12 hours. Leaving
the ON/OFF switch in the ON position during storage or while not in use may limit the life of the
lead/acid battery.
Charging for 12 to 18 hours is recommended whenever the LOW BATTERY indicator shows up
on the LCD screen, or once a month if INDEX 2 is to be stored without use for a protracted
period of time. A fully charged battery should provide at least 4 hours of continuous operation.
When INDEX 2 is first powered up, the LEDs in the top of the finger should light momentarily,
then extinguish. At the same time, the LCD should begin to show the startup message, followed
by the MAIN MENU 1 indication. If these do not occur at power up, refer to the
TROUBLESHOOTING chapter.
Disassembly / Reassembly
To disassemble INDEX 2, you will need a Phillips-head screwdriver, and a soft, clean surface.
To open the case, follow these steps:
• Loosen and remove 8 Phillips-head screws positioned 2 at each corner of the case, closest to
rubber feet (these 8 screws have slightly larger diameters than the other screws on the case)
on the case bottom.
• CAREFULLY grasp the carrying handle on case bottom, and GENTLY pull up and slide
the case bottom to the rear at the same time. DO NOT USE FORCE!
• When case bottom and finger is clear of the top case, disconnect the ribbon cable and battery
leads. These leads may be reconnected for testing and evaluation.
• To reassemble INDEX 2, follow the above steps in reverse. Be sure battery cables are
connected properly and cannot short out to the PC boards, and be sure to reconnect the ribbon
cable properly.
General Explanation
Refer to figure 1 for a block diagram of INDEX 2 operation. Refer also to the INDEX 2 USER'S
MANUAL chapter titled INDEX 2: AN OVERVIEW.
The INDEX 2 finger is divided into two distinct and separate sections, INPUT and OUTPUT.
When a Pulse Oximeter finger cuff is properly inserted onto the finger, INDEX 2's photo sensors
receive and pass information about the Oximeter's light output and frequency to the signal
conditioner and modulators. This input is measured to determine light intensity, and timing
information from the Oximeter.
INDEX 2 then sends modulated signals containing physiological information and optionally
artifact/ambient information to the finger output LED's, which in turn send information to the
Oximeter finger cuff's photosensor.
These modulated signals are controlled and changed via the User Interface, or via Computer
Control. Output and control information is fed from the microprocessor to the LCD screen, and
optionally to the Serial and Parallel ports.

Individual parts may be ordered, but they are not stocked for immediate shipment. Individual PC
Board Assemblies may be quickly obtained through BIO-TEK' s SERVICE DEPARTMENT
(800) 242-4685.
In many cases, INDEX 2 can be tested for faults without removing the electronics from their
case. In all cases, it is important to check the Oximeter under test first, to be sure signals are
being sent to INDEX 2 via the finger cuff.
Another common problem is failure to use proper finger cuff adapters for Nellcor or Ohmeda
units. Nellcor disposable finger cuffs, and all Ohmeda finger cuffs have circuitry in place to tell
the Oximeter about the LED wavelengths used. Because of the wide variation, these
wavelengths can confuse INDEX 2 or the Oximeter seeing INDEX 2's signals. Use of the proper
probe adapter between the finger probe and the Oximeter under test sets the Oximeter for
nominal wavelengths, so INDEX 2 can properly test it. Please assure that you are using these
adapters if necessary, and their absence is not giving false information.
Index 2 Troubleshooting Chart
With normal annual verification you should experience few problems. If you do run into
problems, use the chart below to help localize your problem.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
• Is Battery Dead?
Check/Charge Battery.
Try running INDEX 2 using AC adapter/charger.

Electrical simulation works; Replace finger board. See also these troubleshooting sections of this chart:
• Index 2 does not appear to trigger Oximeter.
finger simulation does not. • Finger probe LEDs do not light.
• When using NELLCOR make and disposable probes, or the OHMEDA make with any probe,
you must use the proper probe adapter in-line to obtain accurate readings.

Compatibility Issues
INDEX 2 will work with all listed SpO2 units, but there may be exceptions. Compatibility issues
recorded to date revolve around Oximeter operation at other than "normal" physiological
parameters. These problems may stem from a manufacturer's algorithm, a problem with
Oximeter operation under some battery conditions, or other factors.
The list below details all problems BIO-TEK has seen with individual makes to date. Many of
these problems may have been solved by manufacturers by the time you read this. If you believe
you are seeing a problem described here, you should contact the SpO2 manufacturer to ask about
it. You can also contact BIO-TEK for further information.
Settling Time:
Can be as long as 1 minute. DATEX units: 2 or 3 minutes. Allow 50% longer than mfr. usually
allows.
O2 "hang-up":
Under some circumstances, SpO2 units may seem to hang at 84% O2. This is caused by
red/infra-red output being the same intensity. Indicates a need to decrease the intensity being
seen by INDEX 2 (sensors being over-driven), or to reposition the probe on the INDEX 2 finger.
OHMEDA:
• When in Bradycardia, lower than 45 BPM - unit rescales, detects both humps on pleth wave
intermittently.
• Low battery levels affect readings before LOW BATT indications on oximeter.
• High LED outputs.
DATEX:
• Settling time problems.
DATASCOPE:
• Low battery levels affect readings before LOW BATT indications on oximeter.
NIHON-KOHDIN:
• BPM levels always 2 beats high, due to algorithm.
NELLCOR:
• When in Bradycardia, 45 BPM or less, some older firmware may have a rescaling algorithm
that prevents units from showing normal BPM's and O2 levels when INDEX 2 returns to
them.
Maintenance Suggestions
There are no adjustment points inside INDEX 2 which need to be checked periodically and reset.
BIO-TEK recommends annual operational verification of the INDEX 2, see the chapter titled
VERIFICATION PROCEDURES.
The battery should be checked yearly to assure there is no corrosion beginning on the slip
terminals of the battery. Any corrosion found should be cleaned using emery cloth. The addition
of a coat of petrolatum on the battery terminals will help prevent further corrosion. The battery
should be replaced when operational time grows objectionably short between charge cycles.
Periodically check the mounting screws inside and outside the case, to be sure they are tight.
Clean the outside case with gentle cleaners such as warm soapy water applied lightly with a
paper towel, or a cleaner such as 409™ or similar cleaner.
BIO-TEK INSTRUMENTS, INC. offers verification and update to current factory standards to
users of INDEX 2. Our Engineering and product specifications are subject to change without
notice, and products continually change during their production lifetimes.
INDEX 2 units which are returned to BIO-TEK for annual verification are automatically updated
to the latest factory specification at no extra charge. These updates may involve changes to
hardware, firmware, and R-Curves.
While the verification procedure is identical to the following procedure, updates are only
available directly from BIO-TEK INSTRUMENTS, INC. Contact BIO-TEK SERVICE for
further information.

Equipment Required
Detailed Procedure
1.00 FIRMWARE:
1.01 Verify the UUT current Firmware Version and check-sum are correct. Record on data
sheet.
NOTE: During VDC checks observe caution so as not to cause electrical damage. All
voltages are made in reference to circuit ground.
2.01 Turn the UUT -ON utilizing the external power supply if necessary. With the DVM
verify the following regulated VDCs. Record on data sheet.
Location VDC
Base PCB R102 +11.6 to +12.15
Base PCB R103 -10.6 to -12.15
Base PCB R104 +4.60 to +5.10
3.02 On the front panel controls sequentially press CUST, TECH, +TECH. Beeper should
respond to each press. Verify VDC is between .125 to .175. Record on data sheet.
4.01 Connect the Datex test jig ( 9-pin D connector) to P1 of the UUT PTHW PCB. Connect
the Datex test jig red wire the + battery terminal of the UUT.
4.02 Verify VDC at (U1-pin 1) is between .72 to 1.12, and VDC at (U1-pin 14) is between
1.4 to 2.2. Record on data sheet.
4.03 On front panel controls press +TEC. Verify VDC at (U1-pin 1) is between .26 to .66
and VDC at (U1-pin 14) is between .23 to .53. Record on data sheet.
5.01 With no Nellcor Oximeter probe connected to the finger of UUT, select the “Nellcor” as a
“MAKE” model for the UUT. On the front panel controls press ESC (to main menu),
then press SIM. The unit should display “NO RED LED NO RED LED”.
5.02 Quickly connect the Nellcor probe to the UUT finger and verify that the UUT display
changes to show “SIMULATIONS”. Check off data sheet.
6.01 On the front panel controls press MAN. Allowing settling time, the unit should display
Oxim readings of 96% +/- 1% SpO2 75 +/- 1 bpm. Nellcor should also read these
values within 5%. Check off data sheet.
6.02 On the front panel controls press 02- four times. The unit display should settle on 88%
+/- 2%. Check off data sheet.
7.01 With the UUT still running at 88% , disconnect the Oximeter probe from UUT finger
and Oximeter, and reconnect the appropriate direct connect cable between the UUT (9-
pin D connector) to P1 of the PTHW PCB and the Oximeter probe input. The Oximeter
should also read 88% +/- 2%. Check data sheet. Disconnect Oximeter from UUT.
8.01 Connect the RS232 serial cable from the PC station to UUT J3 (9 pin D connector) of the
DIGITAL PCB.
8.02 Verify that the UUT display menu is on MAIN MENU 1. Using Kermit or Procomm,
send the command [amb 40] and observe the UUT finger top LED brightens slightly.
Note: covering finger from ambient light might be necessary to observe LED.
8.03 Send the command [amb 0] and observe the finger LED dimming. Check off data sheet.
CAUTION: The following information is proprietary only and is not under any
circumstances available to users. The [IRCAL] command is extremely powerful and
incorrect usage can completely corrupt accurate functionality of the unit. All Index2
units create an initial installation of default IR values upon first boot-up. [IRCAL] is the
ONLY command which can modify these values. Closely observing correct sintax is
vital to insure against unit corruption.
9.01 Verify that the printer is disabled for this test. Connect only Oximeter (Ohmeda) probe
unit to the UUT finger. Connect the PC-station to the RS232 port on the UUT. With the
UUT set to MAIN MENU 1, Send the command [make 8]. the PC display should show
“MAKE: Ohmeda” This sets the unit into the Ohmeda mode.
9.02 Send the command [settings]. The PC should display a listing of current settings
including an IRDC value. IE: IRDC = 3535 Observe the IRDC value indicated.
9.03 Send the command [oxy 65] and turn on the Ohmeda Oximeter. The settled reading on
the Ohmeda should be between 61 to 68 SpO2. If this reading is within these limits, skip
step 9.04 and 9.05.
9.04 To adjust the SpO2 reading, enter the two commands: [IRCAL,8,X] (where X stands for
the new value. Then send [oxy 65]. The unit will then calculate the SpO2 reading with
the new value you entered. IE: if the current IRDC value = 3535, and the SpO2 reading
is below 65%, enter a new value by sending [IRCAL,8,3540] [oxy 65]. The unit will
then re-calculate the 65% SpO2 output with the value 3540. Sending the [settings]
command should then verify the new value.
9.05 Adjust the IRDC value as necessary to obtain an Ohmeda output of 65%.
10.01 With the PC station RS232 and the Probe simulation test jig connected to the UUT
(PTHW PCB - P2), send the two commands [ohmscal 0] [probe]. The PC should
display:
11.01 Observe the value displayed from { Pin 11 to Pin 12 of PROBE TEST}. If it is 4120
ohms, skip step 11.02
11.02 Calculate an adjustment number ( - /+) that if added to the displayed number would
obtain a value of 4120 ohms. Send the two RS232 commands [ohmscal n] (where n =
the adjustment number), [probe]. IE-1: Displayed value = 4.02K, send [ohmscal 100]
[probe]. IE-2: Displayed value is 4.22K, send [ohmscal -100] [probe]. Check off the
data sheet at completion insuring that the new displayed values are all within 4%
tolerance.
11.03 Remove the Probe Simulation Test Jig from the UUT.
NOTE: Downloading automatically replaces UUT user “MAKES” and is only done if
necessary
12.01 With the PC station RS232 connected to UUT, activate the PC software utility which
downloads the default R-curve Make data to the UUT. Observe that the UUT display
follows the indicated download sequences.
13.01 With the Printer serial cable connected to the UUT printer port, enter the following
commands to the UUT from the UUT top panel controls ESC (to get to MAIN MENU
1), MORE, UTIL, PTST, ESC. The printer should continuously display:
“ ***This is a test of the printer port*** “ Check of data sheet.
13.02 To de-activate, turn off the printer first, then the UUT.
14.01 Perform final visual inspection of UUT cleanliness, tightness of all fastening hardware
and battery connections. Confirm battery is dated with installation date. Complete
paper work as required.
