12.4.1 General information on PRICO
Pulse oximetry is a continuous and non-invasive method of measuring the level of arterial oxygen
saturation in blood. The measurement is taken by placing a sensor on a patient, usually on the
fingertip for pediatric, adult patients, and the hand or foot for neonates. The sensor is connected
to the fabian with a patient cable. The sensor collects signal data from the patient and sends it to
the ventilator. The fabian displays the calculated data additional to the ventilation data in four
ways:
1. As a Percent value (%) for arterial oxygen saturation (SpO
2
),
2. As a Pulse Rate (bpm),
3. The Perfusion Index (PI) and
4. As a plethysmographic waveform
The following figure shows the general monitoring view.

12.4.1.1 USB HPL/MIN (for devices with SN up to AT-03999)
The USB HPL/MIN is a patient cable with an integral MSLP-1 Board contained in an enclosure
that connects to Masimo Pulse Oximetry sensors and provides functional oxygen saturation
(SpO
2
), pulse rate (PR), perfusion index (PI), Plethysmograph Waveforms, and other information
through a serial digital interface.
The USB HPL/MIN contains a 9-pin (DB9) LNCS-compatible sensor connector with latch at the
sensor end, and a standard USB Type A connector at the opposite end so that it is compatible
with the USB device port from the fabian ventilator at the back side. The total length of the USB
HPL/MIN, patient cable, and sensor cannot exceed 5 meters.
